One in three people living in Australia right now were born overseas. It's one of the highest proportions in the world. And right now, every political party has a very different idea about whether that number should go up, down, or stay the same.

Tucker Carlson has stayed in the headlines over the past few days through a mix of new content, political intervention, and ongoing debate over his influence. According to the New York Times and Politico, Carlson has continued releasing episodes of his Tucker Carlson Network show and podcast, focusing heavily on immigration, crime, and the 2026 presidential race, with recent segments amplifying claims about migrant-related violence and criticizing both major parties' handling of the border. These episodes have prompted fresh backlash from media critics and civil rights advocates, who argue that his framing of demographic and crime issues continues to echo themes associated with the “great replacement” narrative, while his supporters on X and in right-leaning outlets praise him as one of the few voices challenging establishment consensus. Axios and Semafor report that Carlson has also been active behind the scenes in Republican politics, appearing at private donor gatherings and strategy sessions with populist-aligned candidates down-ballot. While there is still no indication he plans to run for office himself, GOP operatives quoted in these reports describe him as an informal power broker whose endorsement and on-air attention can dramatically boost fundraising and primary momentum, especially for candidates running to the right of party leadership. On the media-business front, Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal note that Carlson's subscription-based Tucker Carlson Network continues to expand internationally, with new language-subtitled content and distribution partnerships targeted at audiences in Europe and Latin America. At the same time, his earlier high-profile interview ventures, including sit-downs with foreign leaders and controversial figures, remain under scrutiny. Recent commentary in the Washington Post and the Guardian has revisited his past interview with Vladimir Putin and other authoritarian-leaning leaders, using it as a springboard for current debate over whether Carlson's platform functions as journalism, advocacy, or something closer to state-aligned propaganda when he deals with foreign strongmen. Legally and professionally, there have been no major new lawsuits made public against Carlson in the last few days, but legal analysts on MSNBC and CNN continue to reference the fallout from his earlier departure from Fox News as a case study in contractual control over talent and content in cable and streaming deals, especially as networks reassess the risks of highly polarizing personalities. Carlson's ongoing clashes with mainstream media figures also remain a talking point. Hosts on CNN, MSNBC, and several prominent podcasts have recently criticized his commentary on campus protests and immigration, while right-leaning influencers on X celebrate clips from his latest monologues as proof that legacy media is out of touch. This dynamic reinforces his role as a central, polarizing figure in the broader struggle over how audiences understand crime, immigration, foreign policy, and the future of American conservatism.

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're discussing what may be the most consequential political moment of Donald Trump's career. With Trump's approval ratings slipping, the Iran conflict escalating, renewed questions surrounding the Epstein files, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk continuing to reverberate through the conservative movement, many Americans are asking whether these events are isolated, or part of a much larger story.In this episode, I examine the connections I believe may exist between these developments, including my view that the Epstein files may have been used as leverage against powerful political figures and that foreign interests have exerted significant influence over American policy in the Middle East.We'll discuss:Trump's declining support among his baseThe growing controversy surrounding U.S. involvement with IranThe unanswered questions surrounding the Epstein filesThe political impact of Charlie Kirk's assassination and its aftermathWhy I believe these stories intersect in ways the mainstream media refuses to exploreMy goal is not to tell you what to think, but to encourage you to question narratives, follow incentives, and examine who benefits from the decisions being made in Washington.--https://www.bible.com/

Christopher Luxon has jumped into the immigration debate, promising a careful approach, putting social cohesion ahead of business profit.

The Prime Minister made the comments in a speech to business leaders in Auckland this morning, also signalling a tighter-than-expected Budget to land in two weeks' time. Deputy political editor Craig McCulloch spoke to Lisa Owen.

Throughout the conversation, CannCon and Chris Paul reinforce the importance of paying attention to patterns in reporting, recognizing narrative shifts, and staying grounded when evaluating fast-moving news stories.

What happens when theories of racial hierarchies interact with reality? How are they contested, refuted and changed in light of that encounter? What role do experts, most notably social scientists, play here? And, what can these historical encounters tell us about how we should think of race and migration today? These are the questions which animate Sunmin Kim's The Unruly Facts of Race: The Politics of Knowledge Production in the Early Twentieth-Century Immigration Debate (U Chicago Press, 2026). Taking as his focus the Dillingham Commission, a US government investigation into migrant groups established in 1907, Kim shows how theories of racial essentialism, which increasing were moving across the, at the time blurry, boundary between biology and society were used and contested in a moment when prominent political figures were eager to separate out the valued, long-established migrants from Western and Central Europe from those coming from Eastern and Southern Europe who all, on the face of it, were ‘white'. In doing so ideas such as ethnicity and the possibility of assimilation come to be mobilised. In turn Japanese migrants on the Pacific coast were placed beyond the pale of this possibility of assimilation and continued to be excluded. As Kim shows, not only did the commission report introduce some new vocabulary for thinking of race, but also played a key role in the development of US immigration quotas and a form of racial liberalism. This perspective, while accepting the possibility of a diverse body politic, rested on an assumption of a ‘native' and ‘non-native' element, including the possibility that some of the latter simply could never be ‘American'. In our discussion we discuss the formation and activity of the Dillingham Commission. This includes discussing a number of key figures, such as Franz Boas who measures skulls for the commission and in so doing uses the same tools of the eugenicists and positivists to undercut their racist claims and Yamato Ichihashi who, while vociferously making the case that Japanese migrants such as himself are the ideal ‘Americans' ends up being an example of the ‘insurmountable difference' placed in front of such groups. We end by discussing how Zora Neale Hurston, once Boas's student, provides a different way of conceiving of race and its place in immigration debates. Your host, Matt Dawson is Professor of Sociology at the University of Glasgow and the author of G.D.H. Cole and British Sociology: A Study in Semi-Alienation (2024, Palgrave Macmillan) and co-editor of The Anthem Companion to Henri Lefebvre (2026, Anthem Press) along with other texts.

From the Irish to the Italians, America has received waves of immigrants from nearly every inhabited continent at some point and just about all of them faced significant discrimination upon their arrival. With current discourse now focused on Somali, Muslim, and Indian migrants, an uncomfortable question arises: Were these the same conversations people had about our ancestors? Professor of History at George Washington University Tyler Anbinder joins Will to go over America's storied relationship with immigration, explaining why Irish-Americans faced so much discrimination, and how they gradually came to be accepted. Plus, Will and The Crew weigh in on the discussion with Professor Anbinder and share their own thoughts on whether today's immigration debate reflects the past.

Story 1: Should we show more leniency to illegal immigrants without a criminal record?

Dave opens this Tuesday Dopey Patreon teaser by reflecting on feeling burnt out, upcoming dental implant surgery, and the need to slow down. He jokes about “cultivating illness” to get rest and shares his current obsession with the Martin Scorsese documentary series Mr. Scorsese, hoping listeners will “pray and manifest” Scorsese appearing on Dopey. He talks about Scorsese's film legacy, calling Goodfellas untouchable.Dave reads a Spotify comment from Emma about a pork ad and debates if it's anti-Semitic, then begins a new segment reading from Miles Davis's autobiography — a vivid story about Charlie Parker pawning Miles's belongings for heroin.Next, longtime Dopey Nation member Selby calls in with a story about getting through TSA with weed gummies and ends with “stay strong, Dopey Nation, and fucking toodles for Chris.” Dave laughs about TSA searches, harmonicas being mistaken for weapons, and promises either to play harmonica on the road or stop traveling with it.The teaser transitions into the Patreon preview with Ray Brown and Dave's dad, where a discussion about politics erupts — his dad talks about kindness, empathy, immigration, and frustration with leadership. Dave tries to steer it back but ends up apologizing for the tangent. The teaser closes with Dave's song “I Wanna Be Good So Bad,” a raw, humorous original with lyrics about bad desire, frustration, calling his dad, and seeking peace and love.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
