Summary

Sean mocks the media narrative blaming Trump for Stephen Colbert’s cancellation, chalking it up instead to bad ratings and bad jokes. He debates former Schumer aide Chris Hahn about why Democrats are terrified to criticize radical voices like “Mom Donnie” or the Squad. They discuss controversial race-based tax proposals and refusal to condemn global Intifada. Hannity also opens up about family, nostalgia, and parenthood during emotional listener calls—including one suggesting Trump should deliver Hulk Hogan’s eulogy. From legacy media collapse to political cowardice, this hour blends sharp debate with heartfelt storytelling.
