S15 EP165: Hour 2 - The H1B Complaint

Erick returns to Beau French and the Indian American Longhorns fans sporting Stetsons to argue that a legitimate grievance about H-1B visa abuse is being allowed to rot into racism. He warns that America is walking the same road that produced the AfD and Europe's far right. Then he takes a hard look at the numbers: the New York Times and Siena College poll has Democrats up 51 to 43 on the generic ballot, President Trump at 38 percent approval, 31 percent on the war in Iran and 28 percent on cost of living, with Nate Cohn drawing the 2006 comparison. The bond market is doing its own voting, with the 10-year Treasury yield at a 19-year high, the Dow off more than 400 points, and crude at 106 dollars a barrel.

• Beau French, the University of Texas, and why assimilated American kids became a target for the anti-DEI right
• Europe's far right, no-go zones, the British rape gangs, and what happens when elites refuse to fix immigration
• Real H-1B visa abuse: the Disney layoffs, universities importing cheap labor, the "unique skills" dodge, and Erick's own immigration law practice stories
• The New York Times and Siena poll, Nate Cohn's 2006 parallel, JD Vance campaigning in Kansas, and why Erick still says do not panic
• James Talarico on parents and gender transition, Ken Paxton, Susan Collins, John Sununu, and the redistricting red wall
• The bond market rejecting Washington, the 10-year Treasury at a 19-year high, and Anduril's drone challenge to Lockheed Martin and Raytheon
