Summary
Sean outlines what he calls the Trump doctrine, arguing that a strong U.S. economy and targeted military power are reshaping events from Venezuela and Cuba to Iran. He cites growth numbers, tariffs, falling interest rates, and new manufacturing and energy plans, plus proposals like capping credit card interest and eliminating taxes on tips. He also urges Elon Musk to help restore internet access for Iranians as he draws a firm line against Tehran's crackdown. The show covers the ICE confrontation in Minneapolis and Democratic efforts to rein in the agency, and Newt Gingrich joins later to assess the stakes in Iran and the ripple effects if regimes in Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran falter.
