About this listen

On this episode, David sits down with José Niño to examine the Trump administration’s latest immigration enforcement push and whether it represents meaningful action or political theater. Using Minnesota as a case study, they break down media narratives, internal contradictions on enforcement, and why immigration has become so difficult to discuss honestly on the right.

The conversation then widens to Trump’s second term more broadly, questioning whether his governance reflects genuine populism or conventional Republican policy under populist branding. Topics include deportations, border enforcement, culture-war flashpoints, and the political incentives shaping these decisions, with a brief look at the foreign policy context.
