Asylum Denied: Trump’s Second Wall

This week's episode centers on the concept of asylum. We'll take a deep dive into how asylum works, how it's supposed to work, and discuss the way in which its availability is subject to some rather suspect criteria. We'll try to add some human faces to what has become a very depersonalize concept by hearing some specific stories of individuals who have left their homes seeking asylum The hot topics for the week will include the "Big Beautiful Bill," the "Trump Slump" in business travel from foreign countries, particularly the EU, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa's visit to the White House, and the newest attack by the administration on Harvard University.
