THIS WEEK UNFILTERED | 05.29.25

 

Today Amy is joined by special guest cohost, Project Seneca Press Chief and former Miss America, Mallory Hagan! Together they are taking an UNFILTERED look at the Trump administration’s war on higher education – is cracking down on international students and dumbing down the populace the secret ingredients to making America great again?

Also, instead of being celebrated for their achievements, West Point graduates are made to endure an insulting commencement address.  Our fallen veterans are disrespected on Memorial Day, and a married couple from reality television is gifted a presidential pardon.

Plus, Trump has a falling out with his BFF Elon, and $1 billion dollars is taken out of US Army barracks and deployed to the southern border.
