Podbit · The Megyn Kelly Show
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin went on CNN and told Haitians they could still apply for permanent residency or a visa — not that they were being deported. The backlash from conservatives, including Mike Davis publicly on X, was immediate. Mullin has since reversed course, but the damage to his credibility on the right was done.

Megyn Kelly plays the clip of DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin on CNN with Jake Tapper, in which Mullin outlined Haitian TPS holders' 'choices': they can apply for permanent residency, apply for a visa, or return home with a government-provided plane ticket and $2,100. The reaction from Megyn Kelly and Mike Davis is immediate and forceful: this is not what conservatives voted for. Davis says he went public on X and also made his dissatisfaction known privately 'to all the right people' in Trump World, and that Mullin 'got the memo pretty quickly.' The segment crystallizes a key tension in Trump's immigration coalition: the president promised deportations, but a DHS secretary with Senate-style political instincts defaulted to a softer, more palatable CNN message. Davis predicts Mullin will not survive if he continues to show 'Senate weakness' in the Trump administration, particularly after the anticipated birthright citizenship ruling that will further inflame the issue.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said the government would provide Haitian TPS holders with a plane ticket plus $2,100 to help them reestablish in Haiti if they choose to return voluntarily.
Fei-Fei Li went back to Stanford from Google in 2018 specifically to build a multi-stakeholder governance framework for AI. Her argument: market forces are not societal norms. Just as biology uses IRBs and cars have safety laws, AI needs layered oversight from educators, governments, and the public — not just a few industry titans.
Andrew Santino's personal MCU of political villains is collapsing. He and Bobby speculated that a circulating photo of Mitch McConnell with a Chinese official was AI-generated compositing two separate images.
Mass surveillance is here to stay. The real battle isn't stopping cameras — it's ensuring judges and laws keep that data out of family court and civil disputes, admitting it only for violent crimes and national security. The surveillance economy currently yields more upside than downside, but only if we build the legal guardrails now.
When people cite Scandinavia as proof socialism works, Galloway says they've got it backwards. Northern Europe runs highly competitive free-market economies with more competition in many sectors than the US — they just make sure taxes are actually paid and redistributed. Billionaires and universal healthcare can coexist.
Two percent adjustments to income tax and stamp duty tweaks are deck-chair rearrangements. The UK's competitiveness hinges on four structural levers: currency valuation, energy costs, regulatory burden, and tax rates. Devalue the pound, build 56 nuclear plants, slash red tape, introduce a flat tax — and the country transforms.
Lisbon had one of Europe's worst heroin crises. Then Portugal legalised drugs and redirected all enforcement money into rehabilitation and housing. Crime collapsed. Addiction fell. Then politics moved the money elsewhere, and the problem started creeping back. Chesterton's Fence: you forget why you were spending that money.
Congress passed the Boland Amendment 411 to 0, explicitly banning CIA and Defense Department funds for the Contras. Reagan signed it — then immediately moved the operation deeper underground, essentially responding to a bipartisan prohibition by going more illegal.
The CIA planted mines in Nicaraguan commercial harbors, wrote the Contras' press releases taking credit, and promptly blew up ships from four allied nations. The Wall Street Journal broke the story, Congress erupted, and the Boland Amendments multiplied.
Oliver North was a decorated Marine and devout Catholic with zero covert operations experience. He ran the entire shadow war against Congress — planes, airstrips, arms shipments, shell companies — learning on the job. And by every operational measure, he crushed it.
