No Kings Movement

Steve from Westbrook criticized a previous show segment for suggesting the “No Kings” movement was a paid conspiracy by George Soros, highlighting his personal involvement in transporting immigrant families. Matt countered that the movement was top-down and funded by national activists, not organic.  The conversation shifted to the role of corporate-funded groups in political activism, with Matt arguing that both left and right movements are influenced by large donors. The discussion also touched on ICE raids, with Matt arguing that being in the U.S. illegally is a crime, regardless of prior criminal records.
