Summary
In Hour 3, Sean Hannity dives into the political theater surrounding calls by some Democrats to boycott the State of the Union address — and why that move may say more about them than the president. Citing commentary from Stephen A. Smith, Sean argues that elected officials have a responsibility to show up and represent their constituents, regardless of party differences. Joined by syndicated host Joe Pags, the conversation expands into media accountability, the legal debate surrounding the FACE Act, and broader questions about protest versus disruption.
Sean also fields listener calls on everything from Iran policy to immigration enforcement — and yes, the now-infamous debate over Linda’s “big-boned” cat versus Sean’s soon-to-arrive border collie. It’s politics, culture, humor, and Friday energy all wrapped into one fast-moving hour.
As tensions rise globally and in Washington, Sean makes clear: decorum matters, strength matters, and common sense still wins the day.

| 0:19.3 | Stephen A. Smith slamming Democrats that are contemplating |
| 0:24.1 | a dozen plus boycotting the state of the union. By the way, nobody's going to miss their |
| 0:29.7 | antics on the floor and their cane waving anyway. But anyway, here's what Stephen A said. |
| 0:34.6 | The president of the United States is going to give his state of the union address |
| 0:38.2 | and the Democrats got other plans. So some are talking about walking out in the middle of this |
| 0:44.1 | speech. Others are talking about boycotting it all together and essentially finding something |
| 0:49.4 | else to do. I'm here to tell you that neither is acceptable. Neither should be acceptable. As a representative |
| 0:55.3 | or a Senate or senator in the United States of America, guess what? I have a constituency to |
| 1:01.5 | answer to. And I have people who need me, who I represent. And whether I like it or not, this |
| 1:08.2 | individual is in office until 2028. And I got to find a way to do |
| 1:12.4 | business with him in order to get something done. Why do they get to circumvent the need and the |
| 1:18.0 | insistence of mere decorum? All right, joining us now, my buddy Joe Pags, the host of his own |
| 1:25.1 | syndicated Joe Pagg show is with us, Mr. Pags, sir. |
| 1:46.8 | By the way, Joe Pags writes me the other day. Somebody takes a shot at me in some publication that I never even heard of. And he's like, upset about it. And I'm like, Joe, I don't care. He's like, blah, blah, blah, I'm like, I don't care. I'm like, I don't care. I am way over any period of my life that I care what anybody says about me. I care about you, the people in this audience. I care about my TV |
| 1:52.9 | audience and now my podcast audience, my video podcast coming out. Anyway, Mr. Pags, how are you, sir? |
| 1:59.5 | You know, I continue to learn from you, Sean. We've been friends for like 25 years, but that conversation the other day set me straight, and I appreciate you taking the time. We are blessed to do what we do, but part of the territory that comes with it is you're going to get people, you know, slinging, you know, bows and a shot, you know, they're firing at us at all times. |
