Summary
After a sleepless night of backroom calls and vote-wrangling, Sean Hannity recaps the dramatic final push to pass the “One Big Beautiful Bill” through the Senate. With strong fiscal and cultural implications, the bill now heads to the House, where its fate will determine whether a new era of conservative governance takes hold—or fizzles out.
Hannity highlights key components of the bill: permanent Trump tax cuts, elimination of taxes on tips and overtime, funding for border security and deportation of criminal illegals, repeal of green energy subsidies, and a revived push for U.S. energy dominance. He responds to critics claiming the bill slashes Medicaid or explodes the deficit, arguing instead that responsible spending and pro-growth policies can balance the budget.
Hannity also slams far-left rising star Zohran Mamdani, calling him “Marxist Mamdani” and warning that his ideology—centered on wealth redistribution, anti-police rhetoric, and race-based tax policy—is gaining traction in progressive circles. The hour ends with a patriotic tribute to wounded veteran Austin Reese and a renewed call to support America’s service members through the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
