Summary
In this hour, Sean Hannity pivots from the Middle East to the legal and political battles still surrounding Donald Trump, asking whether the first impeachment could be undone in light of new revelations tied to Tulsi Gabbard’s criminal referral and the so-called Ukraine whistleblower. Joined by Alan Dershowitz and Mehek Cooke, Hannity explores constitutional questions around impeachment, presidential terms, Democratic lawfare, and the growing collapse of trust in institutions and legacy media. The conversation also touches on Gavin Newsom, anti-Israel politics inside the Democratic Party, government fraud, and the widening fallout around Eric Swalwell. It is a sharp, legal-heavy hour about accountability, constitutional conflict, and the political consequences of years of anti-Trump investigations.

| 0:28.6 | real whistleblower as it relates to the first impeachment. You got to wonder, is that going to be |
| 0:35.1 | vacated? Can it be vacated? The Constitution doesn't say anything |
| 0:38.8 | specifically about it. I believe it was Andrew Jackson that had a censure and a later |
| 0:45.6 | Congress removed that. I'm pretty sure it was him. And I saw comments recently by Professor |
| 0:53.6 | Alan Dershowitz, who has a brand new bookout, which we're |
| 0:56.0 | going to get to the topic of as well. Could President Trump constitutionally serve a third term? |
| 1:01.2 | Just the title of it is going to piss off so many people who cracks me up. |

| 1:19.1 | Can the president serve a third term? |
| 1:21.4 | And could this Ukrainian impeachment based on this new information be vacated? |
| 1:27.0 | They're both hard questions. |
| 1:28.7 | It's never happened before, of course. |
