In this powerful second hour, Sean Hannity is joined by “Simple Man” Bill O’Reilly for a sharp, in-depth breakdown of what Hannity calls a defining State of the Union moment  . The two debate whether the President’s challenge to Democrats—asking them to stand if they believe government’s first duty is to protect American citizens—was political strategy or a genuine “moment of choosing.” Hannity argues the contrast between secure borders and open-border policies has never been clearer, framing the upcoming midterms as the most consequential of our lifetime.

O’Reilly analyzes the political calculation behind the speech and explains how Republicans are positioning themselves as the party of patriotism heading into November. Together, they explore the broader implications for voter ID, sanctuary cities, law enforcement funding, and the future of the Democratic Party’s direction. Hannity emphasizes that the stakes go beyond partisan politics—touching on economic recovery, national security, and cultural identity. The hour closes with a passionate call for civic engagement, urging listeners to commit in their hearts and minds to vote and protect the progress they believe is underway.
