Summary
In this hour of The Sean Hannity Show, Sean Hannity breaks down the House passage of the SAVE Act, legislation requiring proof of citizenship and voter ID in federal elections
Hannity argues the measure is a commonsense reform supported by overwhelming majorities of Americans, including strong bipartisan backing for voter ID laws. He revisits the fierce backlash to Georgia’s election reforms—once labeled “Jim Crow 2.0”—and contrasts it with record voter turnout and high voter satisfaction in the years that followed.
Joined by Chip Roy, Hannity outlines the strategy to push the bill through the Senate and force Democrats on the record over election integrity. The conversation shifts to ICE enforcement in Minnesota, where a targeted surge removed criminal illegal immigrants from communities before being scaled back following improved cooperation with local officials
Hannity credits federal agents for restoring order while criticizing sanctuary policies that restrict law enforcement collaboration.
The hour also examines media coverage surrounding the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, raising questions about selective outrage and consistency in reporting
As the midterm battle lines take shape, Hannity frames the debate as a defining moment over ballot security, border enforcement, and the rule of law.

| 0:10.9 | So the House yesterday passed the Save Act. |
| 0:14.4 | It's not complicated. |
| 0:15.9 | Proof of citizenship, voter ID. |
| 0:18.9 | I mean, these are basic fundamental things if you want election integrity. |
| 0:24.9 | Both Democrats and Republicans have questioned election results over the years. |
| 0:29.1 | This would be one way to have election integrity in the country. |
| 0:34.3 | It's not that complicated. |
| 0:35.9 | Now, what's interesting about that, you listen to Chuck Schumer, Jim Crow 2.0. This is what he said. |
| 0:41.1 | The SAVE Act is an abomination. It's Jim Crow 2.0 across the country. We are going to do everything we can to stop it. |
| 0:49.4 | Okay. Everything we can to stop it. Now, there's a great article in the Washington examiner. It's also on Real Clear Politics about Schumer saying it's Jim Crows, you know, and segregation laws |
| 1:00.1 | because it would require states to obtain proof of citizenship in person and voter ID, et cetera. |
| 1:06.4 | And then also they want more in person voting, which I think the idea that we vote for three months in some cases leading up to an election is insane because a lot can happen in the interim period between the time that somebody votes and the actual election. |
| 1:21.0 | This article specifically focused on Georgia. |
| 1:24.9 | And back in the day, if you go to March of 2021, days after Governor Brian Kemp |
| 1:30.3 | signed Georgia's voting reform bill into law, you know, the CEO of Atlanta-based Coca-Cola |
| 1:37.4 | publicly rebuking the measure saying, this legislation is unacceptable. It is a step backwards |
