About the Border and Trump's NY Business Trial Penalty

•

Justin and Andrew discuss their recent press junket with Americans for Prosperity to the border and address ethical concerns. They also explore the composition of people crossing the border and the reasons behind their migration. The conversation includes the importance of listening to border patrol and diplomatic solutions, the need for walls in certain areas and diplomatic efforts, the impact of Trump's actions on immigration, the need for more reasoned dialogue and less racial politics. They continue with the financial penalty on Trump in a NY Civil Trial and its impact on his image, concerns about prosecutorial selection and excessive monetary damages, the impact of Trump's actions on banks and victims, and the victimless crime argument and the consequences of Trump's actions.
