sincere Q: is the "abolish ICE" argument that we should just stop enforcing immigration laws?

We need mandatory E-VERIFY with hard prison time for all employers that are caught hiring even one illegal alien worker and in a few weeks most illegal aliens will go back home after the employers won't hire them

Make this a regular thing with Producer Chris.

Good stuff.  I have a fantasy that Chapo will figure out to split their shows between real on-the-ground stuff like this and cultural criticism, and leave the press clips and barbaric yawps from Matt about how everything is dying and awful to his own private musings.

This week we're joined by Dino Guastella from the DSA medicare for all campaign. We begin by taking a look at the wide world of sports before talking about the new movement that's sweeping the nation: the United States of Care. We also discuss ways to protect Jesse Farrar and read an essay from a brave TP USA's student activist censored by a lib professor.

The gang takes a break in the middle of their West Coast tour to talk urban housing with Shanti Singh (@uhshanti), co-chair of the DSA SF Housing Committee and steering committee member. While Will cooks up a banquet they discuss the sanctity of the Atlantic’s op/ed roster, Baseball Crank’s mpreg fantasy, Silicon Valley’s Pinkerton-patrolled company towns, candidate cities for Chapo’s new content factory, and YIMBYism, the hot new fad among poorly socialized free market liberals.

​Will and Virgil peel back the curtain to give an intimate backstage look at their recent media hit with Jesse "The Body" Ventura on RT.* They're then joined by political scientist David Faris to discuss his book "It's Time To Fight Dirty". Faris out lines all the ways a slim democratic majority could and should shortcut norms and the constitution to build enduring power, while Will and Virgil supply all the reasons they'll probably be too chicken to actually do so. Finally, a reading from the good book.


*Note: Our segment seems to have been cut before airing lol we still love you Jesse!
