Episode: A Spontaneous Town Hall on the Ground-Level Realities of Labor, Immigration, and American Contradiction
Description: Michael hosts a compelling conversation centered around immigration, undocumented workers, and the everyday realities of hiring day laborers—sparked by a memorable and candid call from "Tom in Texas."
This came after a conversation with Philip Bump at the Washington Post about how the story of Kilmar Abrego GarcÃa - the Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador after being arrested trying to get day labor work outside a Home Depot - tells us far more than the narrative on immigration and deportation we are hearing from the Trump White House. Original air date 17 April 2025.
