The Sean Hannity Show

Episode DescriptionThe 25th anniversary of 9/11 collides with a week of political chaos, and Lynda McLaughlin is not holding back. If you want a blunt, unfiltered take on the cultural and political battle lines shaping America right now, this episode is for you.

Lynda uses the Rogue Recap to connect the weekend’s news cycle, the memory of 9/11, and the rising tension around New York City politics into one urgent warning about rights, identity, and the future of the country. She reacts to the controversy surrounding Zohran Mamdani, the public pushback from 9/11 families, and what she sees as a dangerous lack of backbone from elected leaders, the media, and institutions that should know better.

You’ll hear Lynda break down:

• Why she thinks the 9/11 anniversary still matters so much 25 years later
• Her response to the City Hall press conference and the families telling Mamdani to stay away
• Vicki Paladino’s fiery defense of New Yorkers and why Lynda calls her one of the few people saying the quiet part out loud
• Her take on cultural assimilation, free speech, and what she believes happens when rights start colliding
• Why she says leaders at every level are failing to protect families, children, and the values she thinks America was built on

The episode also revisits powerful archival audio and commentary around 9/11, including Donald Trump’s response in the aftermath and Bill Donohue’s remarks at the press conference, adding more context to Lynda’s larger argument about memory, leadership, and national resolve.

Sean turns to one of the most consequential Senate races of the midterms as Alaska Senator Dan Sullivan explains why his contest could determine control of the chamber. Sullivan discusses ranked-choice voting, the appearance of another candidate sharing his name, Mary Peltola’s record, Alaska energy, veterans, and why he sees his state as a firewall against a Democratic Senate majority. Then John Solomon and Kent Terry reveal newly surfaced notes from slain Border Patrol agent Brian Terry that raise fresh questions about weapons trafficking before his death and the still-unanswered story behind Operation Fast and Furious. :::

As America approaches the 25th anniversary of September 11th, Sean reflects on the attack, the lives lost, and why a new generation needs to understand what happened that day. Former FBI agent Nicole Parker recounts being near the World Trade Center when the planes struck, escaping lower Manhattan, and how witnessing 9/11 ultimately inspired her to leave finance and serve her country. Sean also examines the controversy surrounding New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s planned appearance at the 9/11 memorial and returns to the broader debate over terrorism, Iran, and America’s responsibility to remember.

With just 56 days until Election Day, Sean kicks off the final stretch of the midterm campaign with a warning that control of Congress could determine the direction of the country. He lays out the competitive House and Senate map, revisits the Democratic Socialists of America agenda, and argues that Republicans need to make the case on border security, crime, energy, taxes, jobs, and the Trump administration’s record. Sean also looks at the fallout from the Lindsay Clancy mistrial and warns that the defense used in that case may already be spreading to other murder trials.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich joins Sean with a five-part strategy he believes can help Republicans defy history and win the 2026 midterms. Drawing lessons from the Contract with America, Gingrich argues that Republicans need big ideas, clear language, and a positive agenda centered on lower healthcare costs, greater choice, and individual freedom. Sean also tracks the growing influence of the DSA inside the Democratic Party and makes the case that the next 67 days could determine the political direction of the country.

Sean goes one-on-one with Democratic strategist Corbyn Trent, a former aide to Bernie Sanders and former communications director for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, pressing him on the DSA agenda, immigration, taxes, policing, the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, and the future of the progressive movement. The conversation gets heated as Sean pushes for direct answers on what today’s democratic socialists really believe and what those policies could mean for American voters.

Can Republicans defy history and hold Congress in November? Sean Hannity is joined by pollster John McLaughlin to examine the numbers, the danger of depressed midterm turnout and the message Republicans may need to win. They discuss the growing influence of Democratic Socialists, the contrast between free-market capitalism and big-government socialism, and why McLaughlin believes Republicans must go on offense rather than allow the election to become simply a referendum on President Trump.

As the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s assassination approaches, Jason Chaffetz reflects on his friend’s influence on young conservatives, faith, family, and the fight against socialism.

Vance represents a lasting challenge to the pre-Trump Republican establishment and how the party’s foreign-policy direction could change for a generation.

Jason Chaffetz guest hosts as the Lindsay Clancy trial ends in a mistrial after days of deadlocked deliberations and a bitter courtroom fight over the lone holdout juror.

He also highlights stronger employment and labor-participation numbers and speaks with retired Navy SEAL Mike Sarraille about President Trump’s strategy toward Iran, the dangers of a nuclear-armed regime, and why America’s allies may eventually have to shoulder more of the burden.
