Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, joins us for a full hour!

First, as we must discuss, what legacy does Jimmy Carter leave behind? In Harvey's view, Jimmy Carter failed us as president. Afterwards, he did much better; but as president, Carter failed to strengthen democracy and the rights of workers.

Then, moving on to the simmering MAGA civil war over H1-B visas. These visas allow non-immigrant foreign nationals to work- and therefore live- in the United States legally. As part of Trump's promise to deport huge swathes of people and reduce immigration overall, these visas are coming onto the cutting board. But not all MAGAs agree. Some, like Elon Musk, used these visas to come to here initially and own or support businesses that rely on H1-B visa holders for employees. Many across the political spectrum criticize the program for suppressing wages and restricting mobility of those who carry the visas.
