Would you be willing to take an IQ test publicly as a head against the president of the United States?
Absolutely.
Do you regret saying that President Biden had uh a mental acuity?
He had a sharpness to him.
You said that up until July of last year.
I said what I believe to be true.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we are coming to your city.
Don't play our gentles and say new accountable.

Right down our toll-free telephone number if you want to be a part of the program.
It's 800-941 Sean if you'd like to join us.
All right, we we've got uh a ton of news today.
A ton.
And a lot of it has to do with issues involving world peace.
There is there is now, it's out in the open at all out civil war within the Democratic Party politically, and they're now going after each other, the top people, the DNC.
We'll get to that.
Uh I will say this.
I am a little sick and tired of so many Americans that feel that they have a right to your money.
And that somehow there's this entitlement attitude.
I mean, you got the Harvard University president, you know, making the case that they're being unfairly treated.
They got six hundred and forty-six million dollars, your dollars last year alone, and they've got a $53 billion uh endowment fund, and which is enough for you know, every student for you know the next 15, 20, 30 years, and they'll keep accumulating more money.
I'm tired of this.
You know, I'm tired.
Democrats don't care that we're gonna we're stealing from our kids and our grandkids.
They don't care about spending the money to create the next generation of weaponry.
They don't care about hiring police, restoring law and order, and and maybe spending a little bit more money on on our educational system to make sure that our kids that have been left behind and abandoned and given the worst educational system in in the entire industrialized world in spite of spending more money per per capita per student.
You know, these are things we ought to be spending money on.
If we're gonna spend it at all, but you can't do it if you have 37 trillion in debt.
You have to finance that debt, and Social Security and Medicare are on the brink of bankruptcy because government lied to you, and government told you that they were going to put all that money in a lockbox and be waiting for you when you retired.
So much for the lockbox.
Didn't work out that way.
Now we find out is this lost that they I listened to this president of Havid, and he just sounded so arrogant.
As if they're entitled to this money.
No, they're not.
This money is your money.
This is not their money.
This money is taxpayer money.
This is money that comes from tradespeople.
This is money that comes from uh from receptionists, from nurses, from you know, lawyers and doctors that are working their asses off all day, whatever profession you happen to be in, salespeople, and and and they feel entitled because institutionally they've become addicted to all of this.
And now they think it's an entitlement for them.
And God forbid you ever talk about taking away their money.
Oh my God, I can't believe you even talk about taking away our money.
This is outrageous.
This is wrong.
This is horrible.
This is terrible.
No, it's not wrong.
It's not horrible.
The horrible part is that we gave you the money in the first place when you didn't deserve the money in the first place.
And this is where you know we need systemic change in how we approach government.
This is what I mean by returning to constitutional order.
This is what I mean when I talk about, you know, going back to our founders and our framers and original principles of limited government greater freedom.
And we have conditioned the American people to somehow believe that these entitlements are, you know, that they just get addicted to it.
And I don't know why I don't know why so many people have this faith, hope, trust that they put in government.
I really don't.
How's law and order in your town and city?
How's Social Security Medicare doing?
No, that's right, they're on the verge of insolvency.
Uh, how is what is the government doing right?
You think it's fair that you you're burdening your kids with this insane amount of debt that we're putting on them?
Anyway, the Department of Education, they're now accusing Havid of making inaccurate, incomplete financial disclosures after the school got a whopping hundred million dollars from China.
Now, why do we allow China to buy a farmland, ranch land, and land near military installations?
You think President Chi would allow us to do that in China?
No, he would not.
An open the books report released uh today claims Harvard University and the Daily Caller, they were first reported it, accepted one point one billion dollars from foreign sources since 2017 alone, including over a hundred million dollars from China and about one point six million from Palestinian territories all since twenty seventeen.
On April 18th, the Department of Education launched a records request into Harvard after finding the university's foreign reports revealed incomplete, inaccurate disclosures.
Like Congress.
Congress doesn't write down, oh, 45 million DEI in Burma, uh, transgenderism in this country and wokeism in this country and green new dealism in that country and LBGTQ rights in that country.
No, they they put it under obscure titles to hide what they're actually spending the money on, and it took Elon Musk and Doge to uncover all of this.
Anyway, the records request is the Trump administration's first step to ensure Harvard is not being manipulated by or doing the bidding of foreign entities.
Why do you think China wants to give money to Havid?
That's an awful lot of money, a hundred million dollars.
Why would they want to give a hundred million dollars?
Why would Palestinian Authority or or Palestinian associated areas want to Palestinian territories rather?
Why would they want to give money to Havid?
They have a fifty-three billion dollar endowment.
Now, I noticed that Columbia uh looks like President Trump's decision to cut federal funding from Ivy League schools has gotten their attention.
And Columbia in particular that allow pro Hamas protesters to shut down their campuses has stiffened the spine of college administrators, and after Columbia officials became aware this week that pro-Palestinian agitators were preparing a new wave of protest, the school vowed to immediately tear down any tents that pop up on the campus and threaten to have any disruptive protesters arrested.
We've made been made aware of possible plans to establish encampments on Colombia's campuses.
The school's public safety unit blasted out in an email to students and staff.
We want to clearly communicate that camping and encampments on Colombia's campuses are prohibited by university policy.
Okay, let's see what they do.
Let's see if they really mean what they say.
I'm not really sure.
I mean, with the amount of money that these they don't need your money.
But our kids need it, and our educational system needs it, and towns and city needs it, need it for law and order and safety and security.
Um the international stage, we have one report out today that President Trump, U.S. officials meeting in London for what could be the last round of negotiations to try and end war in Europe and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
I blame a lot of this on Biden and Obama.
You know, I know that Ukraine doesn't want to give up Crimea, but Russia took Crimea and annexed it nine years ago.
And there's no way in hell that they're ever getting it back.
It's it's just not in the cards.
I wish it weren't so, because I think Putin's a murdering dictator thug.
And when he was amassing his troops and military equipment on the border, Joe Biden sat idly by, did absolutely nothing when he had a window of opportunity to begin a negotiated settlement, if in fact Russia had any legitimate territorial claims.
Now you have a country that is pretty much in ruins with much of its population having evacuated to countries like Poland and others.
And if they want any country left, it's not going to be the best deal by any stretch of the imagination.
That would have happened before the war started.
Crimea happened under Obama Biden.
This this latest incursion, if you will.
Remember Biden said when the troops were being built up and military equipment was being built up.
What did what did Biden say?
Well, when asked if they would invade, what would he do?
He said, Well, it depends if it's a minor incursion.
Well, it wasn't a minor incursion.
It's been a full-on war that then became a USA versus Russia war because we were funding the war, hundreds of billions of your dollars, and it could have been stopped had had we had a president with a backbone and a spine that would have gotten involved and tried to put an end to this before it even began.
Anyway, so we know that the latest pitch would be formal U.S. recognition of Ukraine's Crimea Peninsula's Russian territory, which has been a departure.
Now, do I like it?
No.
Does it reward bad behavior?
In a way, it does, but the behavior happened a decade ago.
And if you think it's going to go backwards, you're dreaming.
It's just not going to change.
Sometimes you just have to face reality.
You know, and and a pledge that the U.S. would not support Ukraine becoming a member of NATO.
That was never that was always a non starter.
And I said that to Zelensky when I interviewed him.
And also, there would be incentives for Russia, opportunities for more economic cooperation with the U.S. as well as Ukraine.
And they'll get assistance from European military forces.
Russia would return a small portion of Ukraine's Kharkiv that is currently occupied by Moscow and some other things.
Look, I'll tell you right now, if this doesn't work, and maybe it won't in the end, the president seemed cautiously optimistic today, but if it doesn't work, there won't be a Ukraine left.
I don't see how Ukraine wins this war because I don't see Europe stepping up to defend Ukraine at the levels that would be necessary and needed, and America can't afford to fight this proxy war.
Kremlin spokesperson narrowed Russia's demand, says peace will be achieved when Ukraine withdraws from four annexed territories.
If Ukraine withdraws its troops from these four regions, then the war will end.
So there is a chance here.
President Trump blasting Vladimir Putin for this missile strike on Kyiv that killed six kids, and he writes on Truth Social, I'm not happy with the Russian strikes on Kyiv.
They're not necessary.
Bad timing.
Vladimir, stop.
Five thousand soldiers a week are dying.
Let's get the peace deal done.
Everyone keeps saying he's not willing to take them on.
Well, he's willing to take them on.
Vladimir Stop is a pretty strong term.
And it's it's really going to be Russia's choice too.
Because otherwise Russia will remain isolated.
Um and it's not going to be good for anyone.
Now we also have news on another front, and this is involving Iran.
And I got into this in some detail yesterday.
Senator John Fetterman is urging President Trump to bomb the living crap.
Waste that Adam Schiff, he told the Washington Free Beacon, you're never going to be able to negotiate with that kind of regime that has been destabilized and has been destabilizing the region for decades.
And now we have an incredible window, I believe, to do that and strike and destroy Iran's nuclear facilities.
Now, do I really want America to have to do this?
No.
Do I like the alternative, which is a nuclear armed Iran?
No.
So I think in my heart of hearts that these radical mullahs are insane enough to use nuclear weapons and fulfilled their pledge to wipe Israel and America off the map.
I do.
Do I buy into the argument of others that say we shouldn't do it that, well, it's going to cause more acts of terrorism?
I don't, because we already have Iranian assassination squads here, and we know there are known terrorists in the country at this moment because Joe and Kamala and Major has let him in.
So we don't have a lot of good options, but the one option that would prevent a modern day Holocaust would be, you know, taking out their nuclear sites.
Now, if Iran is really serious, they will eliminate any enrichment of uranium and allow American inspectors anywhere, any place, any time, something they have never ever been willing to ever consider or do.
And I don't think they'll do it now.
And so I think the Iranians will lie to buy time, and while they're buying time, they're fortifying, according to reports, their nuclear facilities from the ongoing potential of an attack.
I don't I don't there's no good options here.
But the world better be careful.
Now, if you remember when the Israelis took out Iraqi nuclear facilities before they had a bomb, the world, there was world condemnation.
Turns out that it was a brilliant move.
They did the same thing to the Syrians, have very little fanfare.
They were able to fly under their radar, one of the greatest military operations of all time, and they did that job then too.
I d one way or the other, I don't think these sites will exist.
The only question is, will Israel do it?
Will Israel and the U.S. do it in a in a joint venture?
Yes.
Do I think this leads to an all-out war in the region?
I think you can incapacitate and debilitate the regime.
You take out their refineries with it, they won't have any money, and that means their building of bombs will come to an end as well, and that probably over time would lead to regime change.
That's my guess.
Does anyone want boots on the ground?
No, I just bomb the living hell out of them until they stop.
Anyway, 800-941-SHAWN.
Boy, I keep saying to people that, you know, everything the president's trying to do is hard.
Ending war in Europe and not having forever wars is hard.
That's a heavy lift.
Uh securing our borders is hard.
He's done a great job, and he's now deporting illegal immigrants and criminals, and you see the pushback from the left and the use of lawfare, which we'll get into later in the program.
Uh, what the president's trying to do, and that is stopping countries that for 50 and 60 years that have ripped us off, even our allied uh countries with ridiculous tariffs is hard too.
All right, 25 now till the top of the hour, 800, 941 Sean.

I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.

We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
You're our kind of people.

What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
It's almost a dirty word.
One that connotes conspiracy theory.
Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.
You put two and two together.
Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
Benghazi is a Rosetta Stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.
I'm Leon Nafok from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries.
This is Fiasco Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Yes, that's right.
Locker up.

So the Democratic Party is in complete and utter revolt and disarray.
And now it's becoming pretty much like an outright political civil war.
And it is everything that we know it to be that's obvious to us, and that is the new leadership of the Democratic Party seems to emerge, and that's Bernie Sanders handing off the socialist mantle to squad leader AOC.
Uh then you add Jasmine Crockett to the mix, and people like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries wouldn't dare take on what is now the mainstream of the Democratic Party, which is a radicalized party in years gone by, Democrats were more clever.
They used to hide their radicalism.
They they used to obfuscate it.
They would say the right things, but what they really meant was very different.
Um, over at even fake news CNN, you had data chief, guy by the name of Harry Enton, declared, quote, there is a revolt within the Democratic Party.
Sirens should be going off in Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer's office over disastrous polling results.
He said, This I think is a revolt that is going on in the Democratic Party right now, and Democrats and their leaders.
And according to the Gallup poll released this month, 39% of Democrats trust that their party's leaders in Congress will quote, do the right thing when it comes to the economy.
Uh, in April of 24, that number was 80%.
That is a massive, massive decline.
Now, we've had four consecutive polls that have the Democratic Party their approval rating in the 20% range.
And then he pointed out that Schumer in this new Sienna poll that I mentioned earlier in the week, showing that his favorability among New York Democrats dropped 73% in April of 24 to 52% today, while simultaneously AOC currently holds a much higher favorability rating, and Enton called the numbers unfathomable.
I never thought I'd see the day in which only 52% of New York Democrats would view Schumer unfavorably.
New York Democrats were also polled by Maris University on whether they believe Schumer should remain as the leader in the Senate.
That number fell from 50% in 24.
Now it's now it's he's underwater below 50%.
I mean, that is a massive, massive decline.
Um, and I think it speaks volume of the state of the Democratic Party.
Now, we already know who's winning this political battle and the political war.
The radical left has won.
And that's why Hakeem Jeffries is powerless.
That's why people like Chuck Schumer are powerless.
You know, look at Chuck Schumer his entire career.
He said it's never good to shut down the government.
He's been consistent, and when the CR came up, he stayed consistent.
All right.
Otherwise, he would have given in to the left.
He'll never do this again.
Because that resulted in the radical left that is now the majority of the Democratic Party going absolutely nuts.
Now, his new developments to this as well.
You have the Democratic National Committee Chair, his name is Ken Martin.
And we told you early in the week about David Hogg, who is the DNC vice chair, and David Hogg is pledging to raise millions of millions and millions of dollars to defeat incumbent elected Democratic Congressmen and women if they don't tow the radical left wing line.
Here's what he said.
Look at the last results of the previous election.
Those are the purported experts that brought us here.
Just to say and I want to be clear all this money that we're raising is not only being spent on primaries by any means.
That is the story that a lot of journalists and media run with.
We are working on the city.
We're also going to be spending it on frontline seats where great young people are running, right?
If they are the Democratic nominee to make sure we're bringing in fresh faces to Congress.
Right now, we talk about diversity all the time in Congress.
One of the things we don't talk about as much in regard to that is age.
Currently, if we had the same number of 25 to 30 year olds in Congress as you do proportionally to the population, we would have over 40 people under the age of 30 in Congress.
And I don't know if you looked at Congress recently.
We have one that is under the age of 30.
That is not good for the future of the Democratic Party.
But there are members too, because it's not just a matter of age, it is a matter of effectiveness.
People say, well, David, is this just out with the old and in with the new?
I would say no.
This is out with the ineffective and in with the effective, because we need members who are ready to meet this moment to fight back against Donald Trump.
That's all they want.
They want radicals that will meet the moment, fight back against Donald Trump, which didn't really get them far in 2024 and hasn't really gotten them that far over the last 10 years since Donald Trump was president uh elected president in 2016 and 2024.
And I don't think he can get any more Harsh than the average Democrat or legacy media mob political commentator comparing him to Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini and calling him a racist, a fascist, a Nazi, et cetera, because that's been their strategy.
Now, here's where the rub comes in.
Now, David Hogg is the DNC vice chair, which is a pretty powerful position within Democratic Party ranks.
He is saying that if you're too moderate and you're not radical enough, you're going to get primaried, and I'm raising money to defeat you.
These are elected Democrats.
Now, if you look historically, about 90% of incumbents tend to get re-elected.
There's very few swing uh swing districts available that are up for grabs in any given election.
And anyway, so that resulted in the DNC chair.
Remember Hog's the vice chair, literally saying that no DNC officer should ever attempt to influence the outcome of a primary election, whether on behalf of an incumbent or a challenger.
And his comments were directed at Hogg.
He pledged to shell out uh, I think I thought it was hundreds, it's actually 20 million dollars through his outside political group and leaders we deserve to primary challenge older Democrats in blue districts, and his effort is aimed at helping elect younger Democrats, et cetera.
But it's really, it's really more about ideology.
He he wants more squad members.
He wants more, he's he represents even the further left.
Martin is no conservative.
This guy's a pretty radical left left wing progressive.
And here's him rebuking his own vice chair.
Listen.
Let me be unequivocal.
No DNC officer should ever attempt to influence the outcome of a primary election, whether on behalf of an incumbent or a challenger.
If you want to challenge incumbents, you're more than free to do that, but just not as an officer of the DNC, because our job is to be neutral arbiters.
Uh, we can't be both uh the the referee uh and also the player at the same time.
Okay.
Now, what is this party emerged into?
Exactly what we've been telling you.
The U.S. Senate Democrats had a chance to protect women's sports.
No, they preferred to champion the right of men to play women's sports.
We see what the Democrats are doing.
We have we have updates on this.
We'll get into more detail later.
But, you know, a Brago Garcia, it turns out, was driving when he was pulled over by Tennessee police by a vehicle that was owned by a convicted human trafficker.
This on top of the fact that not one but two judges determined that he was a member of MS 13 and his own wife and her and in her own handwriting, you know, claimed and filed not one but two police reports claiming that he's a wife beater.
And this has now become their their big cause celeb.
This is this is what Democrats are now standing for.
Uh, it's and now we've got five anti-deportation Democrats vis visiting this this Israel pro Hamas bashing agitator who's not an American citizen in Louisiana.
This is this guy uh Khalil, well, Mahmood Khalil, who's being held until he's finally going to be deported, and they think that this is the greatest constitutional crisis.
So they'll put the rights of illegals, including gang members, over the safety of Americans.
They'll champion men's rights to play women's sports.
They this is now the the party of radicalism, the Green New Deal.
And, you know, now there are some Democrats that are rethinking this.
This is another twist to this.
And there's an article today.
Democratic consultants, the guys that want to get paid to win, and the more they win, the more clients they end up getting, are warning Democrats that they're dying on the wrong hill, which is what I've been saying.
And what's been missing since the election has been pretty transparent and pretty obvious to anybody with eyes to see, is that they there's been no introspection by Democrats.
There's been no course correction by Democrats.
But there are some Democrats, some consultants that actually care about winning because their livelihoods depend on it, that are panicking over the prospect of voters will side against Democrats for defending the likes of Khalil and the likes of Abrego Garcia.
People can't afford eggs, and you're flying to sit with someone accused of being in a gang.
One Democrat said.
Democrats want to think that everyone has the same morals and values that we do, and we want to think that everyone's outraged by the same things that we are, and we want to be the ones to help people and stand up for moral injustices that does not necessarily win elections.
The last cycle was proof positive of that.
I saw that uh Henry Quayar stated that while there are Democrats talking about the border, he's not sure that Abrego Garcia in that case is the right issue that Democrats should be focusing on right now.
And but yet this has become their cause celeb.
Now, he's been mentioned as a possible presidential candidate, Illinois Governor Pritzker, who is, you know, is he's as radical left as Gavin Newsom and Kathy Holkel.
He moves now to boycott El Salvador for aiding the Trump administration over the Abrego Garcia detention.
And you have the deported Maryland man who championed was championed by Democrats.
Oh, that's right.
He was driving a car belonging to a human smuggler.
Whoopsie Daisy.
I'm sure.
You know, he's just a he's just a Marylander.
And of course, none of these people that are visiting.
You know, did the did any of these Democrats ever reach out to the families and the victims of October 7th when when all these people were murdered and kidnapped and raped and decapitated?
I don't think so.
Did they ever reach out to Kayla Hamilton's family or Rachel Moran's family?
No, they did not.
But they care more about this guy that we know is in our country illegally, that two judges designated a MS 13 gang member.
And whose own mother, I'm sorry, whose own wife's claimed that he was a wife beater.
Not sure why I'm hearing stuff in my ears unexpectedly, guys.
Maybe we can stop that.
That'd be good.
Um, anyway, so you know, the left now is at a crossroads.
Latest Siena poll survey shows, you know, AOC gaining support with New York State Republican voters, even.
Not sure what's happening there.
If you if you're a Republican supporting AOC in New York, that's only because you're in New York.
Even Mayor Pothole Pete is saying the Democratic Party's prone to finger wagging, needs to do a better job reaching out to voters.
Well, how are you going to reach out to voters?
What you're going to be the this is your agenda.
You won't you'll go to a joint session of Congress and you won't stand for mothers that lost their children.
Is that reaching out to voters?
Is that show you're in touch?
You'll stay silent while domestic terrorism takes place at Tesla dealerships and Tesla owners are doxed, and Elon Musk's life is threatened and charging stations and Teslas are put ablaze.
You're going to stay quiet.
You know, and and as those members of your party somehow worship at the altar, or some of them worship at the altar of Luigi Mangioni, and you're going to stay silent and support those people that are pro-Hamas, a designated terrorist organization?
