Is DHS Secretary Mullin Acting as Haiti's Immigration Lawyer?

Beset On All Sides (Ep. 2544) · Jun 29, 2026 Government

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin went on national TV and told Haitians they could apply for green cards, visas, or other legal pathways to stay in the United States. Coglianese found this deeply wrong: his job is to protect sovereignty, not offer legal roadmaps to people the administration is trying to remove.

Ohio Governor DeWine Defends Haitian TPS; Coglianese Pushes Back

At 53:10 · chapter starts 47:50

Governor Mike DeWine of Ohio appears on television to defend Haitian TPS holders, arguing they work in manufacturing and healthcare — including caring for Alzheimer's patients — and that removing them would not be in Ohio's or America's interest. He urges the Trump administration to reconsider. Coglianese doesn't buy a word of it. He notes that the earthquake triggering TPS occurred in 2010 — 15 years ago — and that 'temporary' was always the operative word. He sardonically suggests that if 350,000 talented Haitians have been building American communities, they can now go build Haiti. He also invokes Stephen Miller's argument that Haiti is unsafe for Americans but not for Haitians, and mocks the left's sudden abandonment of their 'keep families together' rhetoric.

Surveillance vs. Privacy: The Fulcrum We Need to Find

The Surveillance Economy, and How Capitalism Can Fix Poverty · Aug 10, 2026 Government

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.

Northern Europe Isn't Socialist — It's Capitalism Done Right

The Surveillance Economy, and How Capitalism Can Fix Poverty · Aug 10, 2026 Government

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.

How to Fix the UK in Four Moves

“We’re At The Beginning Of A Revolution” - Jimmy Carr - #11… · Aug 10, 2026 Government

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 Solved Its Drug Crisis — Then Forgot Why

“We’re At The Beginning Of A Revolution” - Jimmy Carr - #11… · Aug 10, 2026 Government

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.
