Sean Hannity opens the show by arguing that Democrats are placing surprising hope in Texas candidate James Tallarico despite what Hannity describes as radical positions on gender, abortion, Christianity, the border, energy, and culture. He highlights Tallarico’s comments about being a Christian who “hates Christianity,” calling Jesus a “socialist anarchist,” supporting abortion access for trans men, and believing God is non-binary. Hannity also continues his criticism of Graham Platner in Maine, focusing on Platner’s comments about Maine voters, sexual assault victims, suicide, and his Nazi tattoo controversy. The hour also covers anti-Semitism in New York after Congressman Dan Goldman was reportedly denied service at a coffee shop, Mamdani-backed Democratic Socialist candidates challenging incumbents in New York, and why Hannity believes the 2026 midterms are now “uncharted waters” because Democrats are embracing candidates and ideas far outside the mainstream.
