Sean Hannity is joined by geopolitical experts to examine signs of instability inside China and Iran and what potential regime shifts could mean for global security and U.S. strategic positioning.

The hour also looks at growing tensions between Western allies and China, NATO defense spending debates, and how U.S. policy decisions influence global security outcomes. Additional focus is placed on domestic law enforcement threats tied to extremist rhetoric and how policy and enforcement intersect. This hour connects global intelligence signals with real-world national security implications.
