Episode description

Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance has been at the forefront of the Trump campaign’s criticism of the Biden-Harris border policy, specifically reiterating the widely-debunked story about Haitian immigrants eating household pets in Springfield, Ohio. And while Vance has offered up legitimate complaints about the harmful impact of dropping tens of thousands of migrants on a depressed midwestern town, he’s also leaving out a huge part of the story — the part of the story his donors don’t want told.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the role imperialism and repeated U.S. invasions of Haiti have played in the immiseration of the Caribbean nation and why that is driving people to flee for the United States.

Plus segments on 30,000 Boeing machinists going out on strike and women in Scotland fighting back against trans incursions into protected women’s spaces.

Also featuring Sopranos actress Drea de Matteo, Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from Tim Walz!
