Summary
In the final hour of The Sean Hannity Show, Sean Hannity delivers a full “News Roundup and Information Overload,” focusing on the battle over voter ID, sanctuary cities, and immigration enforcement. Hannity revisits past statements from Democratic leaders supporting border security and contrasts them with current opposition to the SAVE Act and proof-of-citizenship voting requirements. House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan joins the program to outline upcoming legislation targeting sanctuary jurisdictions and forcing lawmakers on record over cooperation with ICE. Hannity also highlights crime statistics involving illegal immigrants, argues that Democrats are ignoring victims, and calls the 2026 midterms a defining “choice election” between law-and-order policies and what he describes as radical open-border politics. With discussion of economic growth, energy prices, and national security tensions abroad, Hannity urges listeners to stay engaged and vote in what he calls one of the most consequential elections of our lifetime.

| 0:21.9 | Democrats want open borders, amnesty. They don't want voter ID. They want to defund ICE. They want |
| 0:26.6 | to defund the police. They want no bail laws. They want climate alarmism. And they voted for the |
