Best of Hannity: O’Reilly on Patriotism and the Democratic Divide

Best of Hannity: Bill O’Reilly joins Sean Hannity to discuss polling that shows Democrats are far less likely than Republicans to express pride in America. O’Reilly argues that teachers’ unions, weak civic education, and changes in parenting have contributed to a decline in patriotism among younger Americans. Hannity and O’Reilly also discuss the Democratic Party’s leftward shift, including Mamdani-backed candidates, Graham Platner, El-Sayed, James Talarico, and the role of radical funding in Democratic politics. The conversation turns to the 2026 midterms and whether far-left candidates can win in states like Maine, Michigan, and Texas. Later, Hannity talks with callers about the Democratic Party, socialism, immigration, birthright citizenship, and the importance of voting in the midterm elections.
