Summary
Sean reports new accounts of a deadly crackdown in Iran, with outside connections including Starlink helping protest videos reach the world and estimates that thousands of demonstrators have been killed. He outlines Donald Trump's latest steps, including canceling meetings with Iranian officials, announcing a trade embargo with a 25% tariff on countries doing business with Iran, and signaling support for protesters within a no-forever-wars, no-boots-on-the-ground framework. Sean also plays remarks from Reza Pahlavi describing mass casualties, defections within security forces, and the resolve of Iranians in the streets. Callers join to debate whether surgical U.S. action or staying out better serves American interests. The hour also covers ICE operations and defunding efforts in Minnesota, activist tactics targeting law enforcement, and a Supreme Court fight over women's sports and transgender competitors.
