With just 21 days until Election Day, Sean Hannity urges voters to ignore predictions of a Democratic wave and treat every race as if their vote could decide the outcome. Sean examines polling misses from recent elections, tightening battleground races and what he sees as signs that the media is beginning to hedge earlier predictions of Republican losses. He also digs into the Michigan Senate race, new questions surrounding Abdul El-Sayed and his family's reported ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, and why debates are exposing candidates to scrutiny they may not receive from the media.

Pollster Matt Towery joins Sean to challenge the conventional wisdom surrounding the midterm elections and discuss his new book, The Honoring of Ignorance: The Seven Mirages Destroying America.

Sean and Towery also examine voter enthusiasm, the appeal of socialism to younger Americans and whether Republicans could still produce major surprises on Election Night.

With just 25 days until Election Day, Sean Hannity sounds the alarm over Senate races from Michigan and Minnesota to Texas, Kansas, Ohio, South Carolina and Florida.

A fiery political warning from New York to California: this episode argues that illegal immigration, missing migrant children, fentanyl exposure, and California’s collapsing public safety are all connected. If you want the blunt case for why Steve Hilton is surging while Xavier Becerra is under scrutiny, this one is impossible to ignore. Lynda McLaughlin opens with the human cost of sanctuary city politics, from children brought into subway car candy sales to the incentives she says keep illegal labor and trafficking networks alive.  From there, she pivots into a hard-edged case against the Biden-era handling of unaccompanied migrant children, citing Tara Rodas’s testimony, unanswered hotline messages, and the claim that thousands of children remain missing. The episode then turns to California’s governor's race, where Steve Hilton is held up as the candidate actually showing up, touring all 58 counties, visiting Skid Row, and speaking directly to voters about gas prices, homelessness, and the state’s broken quality of life. Lynda contrasts that with Xavier Becerra, questioning his record at HHS, his absence from debates, and whether the legacy media is shielding him from harder questions.

Sean Hannity turns his attention to Alaska, where a potentially transformative $54 billion natural gas investment and closely watched elections could reshape the state's economic and political future.
