Show notes

In this bonus mini-episode: self-described racist groyper Nick Fuentes turns out to be right about one thing: Trump and Republicans are playing white Americans for suckers." Joy Reid breaks down the backlash to Trump approving 600,000 new visas for Chinese students, as MAGA influencers rage over what they see as a betrayal of “America First.” She exposes the hypocrisy of Republicans stoking anti-immigrant fear while billionaires quietly profit from cheap labor and full-paying international students. Reid connects the dots between broken U.S. schools, reliance on foreign tuition, and how outrage keeps voters distracted while the rich cash in.
