If you suspected that high-profile ICE raids and shootings are being used as spectacle to divide the public while the government continues policies that benefit corporations, including expanding visa programs that depress wages, you're right! In this segment, Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that true immigration enforcement would target employers at farms, construction sites, hotels, and meatpacking plants, but instead authorities stage public street arrests and tackle and shoot legally armed citizens. They frame these acts as part of a broader agenda involving surveillance expansion, predictive policing, and political distraction from issues like wars, censorship, and elite misconduct. Overall, the discussion presents immigration enforcement as theater masking bipartisan corporate priorities and the growth of a security state. Plus segments on the right wing turning against DHS head Kristi Noem and Trump firing Border Patrol Commander Dan Bovino over the Minnesota shootings. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. Plus a phone call from George Clooney!
