Guatemala is experiencing a national strike and protests following attempts by the Attorney General to challenge the election victory of anti-corruption candidate Bernardo Arevalo. The IOM's 2022 annual report claims the organization reached 31 million people across 170 countries with a $2 billion budget.

President Joe Biden is heard in clips discussing $800 million in aid for Venezuelan refugees and the allocation of H2B work visas.

Vice President Kamala Harris faced intense questioning regarding her refusal to visit the U.S.-Mexico border.

ProPublica released "secret IRS files" detailing the low tax rates paid by the world's wealthiest individuals, a leak the hosts suspect is politically motivated to support new tax legislation. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris faced criticism for an interview with Lester Holt where she awkwardly defended her decision not to visit the U.S.-Mexico border. The hosts interpret her comment about not visiting Europe as a sign of friction between her and the Biden administration.

Observations of migrants at the southern border suggest that many appear well-dressed and lack luggage, leading to theories that some arrivals are staged for "photo ops." While Senator Ted Cruz has visited the border for publicity, the underlying logistics of how thousands of people are transported and equipped remain largely unexamined by mainstream media.

Biden announced a new policy of "asylum in place," where migrants can apply for U.S. asylum from their home cities in countries like Guatemala. This plan involves deploying DHS and FEMA personnel to Central American cities to process applications. The hosts question why existing U.S. embassies cannot handle these requests and whether this policy effectively "rubber stamps" mass immigration.
