Summary
Sean digs into the weeks debate over biological men in women's sports, highlighting Supreme Court arguments and a Senate exchange featuring Sen. Josh Hawley and an OB-GYN from Physicians for Reproductive Health. He then pivots to Minneapolis, where ICE operations and protests dominate the headlines, spotlighting statements from Gov. Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey, reports of an ambush on an ICE officer, and claims of rising assaults and threats against agents. Sean contrasts current criticism of ICE with Obama-era coverage and questions sanctuary policies and efforts to defund the agency. He also runs through economic headlines, noting lower mortgage rates, cooling inflation, stronger retail sales, and upbeat GDP projections cited during the show. The hour closes with brief remarks on reports of financial strain inside Iran as he weighs law enforcement, policy, and public safety.
