Summary
Sean features a street exchange between Daniel DiMartino and Mamdani supporters in New York City, then speaks with DiMartino about life under Venezuelan socialism, from shortages and rationing to hyperinflation and the mass exodus. He weighs in on wealth taxes and business flight and previews his interview with President Trump later tonight. The conversation shifts to Iran as Sean revisits remarks from Reza Pahlavi and interviews Amir Fakhravar, who describes growing protests, regime instability, and appeals for U.S. solidarity. Sean wraps the hour by inviting calls and teasing an upcoming investigative report from John Solomon.
