Summary

Sean Hannity opens the show with sharp analysis of growing tensions with Iran, the U.S. effort to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, and the possibility that President Trump may be nearing a new military response if Iran continues its attacks on international shipping. He argues that economic pressure is breaking the Iranian regime, but warns that further aggression could force the United States to hit the IRGC and escalate beyond sanctions. Hannity also discusses violent anti-ICE protests in Brooklyn, the collapse of Spirit Airlines after the blocked JetBlue merger, and the impact of overheated political rhetoric on public safety. The hour blends geopolitical urgency, immigration enforcement, media criticism, and Hannity’s behind-the-scenes reflections on possibly traveling to China with President Trump.

Guaranteed Human.

Thanks to all of you for being with us. Happy Monday. Is there such a thing as a happy Monday? I don't know. You know, I have a friend of mine, Linda. You'll appreciate this. He says, Monday's my favorite day of the week. I'm like, why? Because I just can't wait to get to work. I love what I do. I love what I do.

0:21.5

I'm like, I love what I do too.

0:23.9

But Monday's not my favorite day in the week. Yeah. That guy is a very happy person. You know, I got to get racked up and, you know, I got to get, you know, ratchet it up and back in the groove because I let my mind, you know, kind of simmer down a little bit before,

0:40.9

you know, over the weekend, trying to get back to normal.

0:44.3

You really can't get back to normal in my view unless you have an extended period of time

0:49.1

off because I don't stop working.

0:51.5

And as you know, I mean, what times throughout the weekend, if you had to go through

0:56.7

your brain, were you getting text messages for me on story ideas and things that I'm interested

1:02.4

in and things that I want sweet baby James to print out?

1:05.0

How many times?

1:05.9

Well, it was a very busy weekend in your defense.

1:09.5

It was very busy and there was a lot of news. Is this weekend different than any other weekend? No. No. Okay. So there's no reason delineating between weekends because they're all the same. I was trying to be nice. It's Monday. You just got done saying how some people are happy to go to work. I figure I might give you a little olive branch there. But all right, every weekend, it's a tear for you, and it starts Friday and it doesn't end. It just doesn't. And, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I mean, that's the weird part. I mean. Yeah, you have, you have one speed. There's only one speed. I mean, I'm having a hard time with the idea is we're running into, well, let's just

That's not exactly what I said. That's exactly what you've been saying from the very beginning. You didn't even. What I said was.

2:17.7

I'm trying to find alternatives.

2:19.7

Oh my God.

2:20.5

What I said, and I think it's a fair assessment, is that while it's an incredible experience,

given the time change of like 13 hours, it doesn't exactly work with doing a live broadcast
