Summary
In this hour, Sean Hannity tackles the growing clash between President Trump, Pope Leo, and key European leaders over the Iran conflict and the moral stakes surrounding it. He argues that the West keeps failing to show moral clarity about radical Islamic terrorism, while also questioning why global leaders are quicker to criticize Trump than the regime responsible for decades of violence and repression. This episode blends faith, foreign policy, and cultural tension into a sharp debate over leadership, evil, and the future of the West.
