Summary
Sean broadcasts live from Washington, D.C., previewing a full-hour interview with President Trump his first since taking out Maduro and the future of Venezuela, with questions about turmoil in Cuba and Iran. He welcomes Daniel DiMartino to share firsthand experience of rationing and repression under Venezuela's socialist regime, and Amir Fakhravar to report on growing protests and power struggles inside Iran. The show examines new reporting from John Solomon on TSA-flagged cash flows and the sprawling Minnesota welfare fraud case, where a judge orders nonprofit founder Amy Bach to forfeit luxury assets. Congressman Chip Roy joins to discuss waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars, as Sean also covers Minneapolis protests, rhetoric targeting ICE, and calls from police groups for restraint and respect.
