Podcasts about visas

An open letter to political leaders is calling for them to end visas tied to a single employer, saying they set the stage for potential exploitation and abuse and make it harder for victims to escape. The letter's signed by the Human Rights Commission and 26 others including migrant support groups, the Salvation Army, Community law, the Council of Trade unions and modern slavery experts. Equal Employment Opportunities Commissioner Professor Gail Pacheco spoke to Lisa Owen.

""Klasika" ir mans mīļākais radio. Vienmēr mašīnā klausos tikai divas radiostacijas, un viena no tām ir jūsu. Pat ja būtu uzaicināts mazgāt grīdas jūsu raidstacijas studijā, būtu atnācis jums palīdzēt! (..) "Klasika" ir tā, kas dzīvo pāri laikam: laiks iet, bet tā dzīvo un eksistē. Jo tā ir klasika. Vai tas ir džezs vai akadēmiska mūzika – tam nav nekādas nozīmes. (..) Ja gribi turēt savu dvēseli pie veselības, mūzika tam ir vislabākās zāles – tā ir Dieva māksla," ir pārliecināts viens no Latvijas viskolorītākajiem režisoriem AIKS KARAPETJANS, kura radošās darbības lauks ir gan opera un teātris, gan kino. Tomēr 8. janvārī viņš debitēs kāda vērienīga koncerta režisora ampluā. Proti, tieši viņš būs Latvijas Radio 3 "Klasika" 30. jubilejas koncerta režisors Latvijas Nacionālajā operā, un viņa veikumu varēsim redzēt ne tika Baltajā namā, bet arī Latvijas Televīzijas tiešraidē. Tomēr saruna rit arī par citām Aika radošajām iecerēm, un tādu nudien viņam netrūkst! Inga Saksone: Mūsu sarunas temats būs priecīgi notikumi, kas gaidāmi pēc Jaunā gada: saistīti gan ar "Klasiku", gan Balto namu. Bet sākumā gribēju jautāt par skolām, kurā esi mācījies: Latvijas Mākslas akadēmiju, Latvijas Kultūras akadēmiju un Parīzes kino skolu. Vai tās viena otru ir papildinājušas? Aiks Karapetjans: Noteikti papildinājušas, jo visas trīs iestādes ir ar savām tradīcijām. Nezinu, kā tagad, bet manos laikos, kad mācījos Mākslas akadēmijā – un tas bija ļoti, ļoti sen – tā tiešām vairāk bija klasiskā, akadēmiskā izglītība. Savukārt Kultūras akadēmija bija tāda dvēseles lieta – tur bija vairāk par kino. Ņemot vērā, ka tolaik vēl nebiju tādu tehnisku iespēju kā tagad – ka studenti var mācīties un veidot filmas, mēs bijām tāds kā eksperimentāls kurss. Tā tehniskā izglītība mums bija diezgan pašvaka, un tas bija viens no iemesliem, kāpēc aizbraucu uz Parīzi, jo tur bija tieši otrādi: tur par radošumu bija mazāk, bet vairāk – tieši par tehniskām lietām, un tur apguvu kinoizglītības tehnisko pusi. Visas trīs izglītības bija ļoti dažādas, neviena no tām neatkārtoja iepriekšējo, un tas man ļoti, ļoti palīdzēja. Mākslas akadēmijā tavs noslēdzošais darbs bija "Nāves tēma latviešu glezniecībā 19. gadsimta otrajā pusē un 20. gadsimta sākumā". Šī tēma patiešām bija tik ātri un viegli atrodama? Protams... (Smejoties nopūšas.)  Latviešiem to var atrast, ja? Rozentāla simbolisms, ko redzam viņa gleznās, ir viena lieta. Izteiksmīgākā ir viņa glezna "Nāve", kur pļavā sēž jauna sieviete ar zīdainīti klēpī un pie zīdainīša pieliekusies jauna, skaista sieviete baltā tērpā. Liekas – tāda smuka ainava, bet īstenībā tā kompozīcija ir par Nāvi, kas apmeklē bērnu. Bet ir, ir daudz. Pat kluso dabu var atrast ar galvaskausu, ko arī var interpretēt kā nāvi. Tas vienkārši ir jautājums par to, kāda ir semiotika – vairāk pētīju tieši to pusi. Vairs neatceros kādas detaļas, bet tā tēma atnāca pati, pat nezinu, kāpēc – man likās, ka tā ir interesanta tēma, kas varētu būt manam diplomdarbam. (..) Tolaik latviešu glezniecībā bija diezgan dinamiskas pārmaiņas. Ņemot vērā, cik Eiropa bija bagāta ar jauniem virzieniem, sevišķi glezniecībā, tas viss, protams, latviešu gleznotājus arī pārņēma savā varā. Valdīja eklektika: bija gan impresionisms, gan romantisms. Katrs izvēlējās pats savu ietekmes avotu. Līdz ar to nevar teikt, ka, piemēram, no tā līdz tam gadam latviešu glezniecībā bija tāds un tāds virziens. Nu, nebija tā, jo tas bija diezgan eklektisks un bagāts laiks ar pārmaiņām un dažādību. Savu ceļu kino iesāki ar kriminālfilmu, un "Piejūras klimata" raidījums oktobrī bija veltīts tieši kriminālfilmām ar dažādām pazīmēm un raksturiem. Sarunājās sarunājās kinokritiķe Dārta Ceriņa, režisors Jānis Ābele un producents Sergejs Timoņins. Raidījumā izskanēja jautājums, kādēļ režisori par savām debijas filmām tik ļoti bieži izvēlas tieši kriminālfilmu žanru. No kurienes tas rodas? Kāpēc tieši pirmā filma jātaisa par bandītiem, blēžiem? Krimiķi ar jokiem vai bez jokiem? Izskanēja arī varbūtība, ka jaunam režisoram veiksmīgāk ir pirmo filmu veidot kādā konkrētā žanrā, nevis pašam par sevi. Tā ir atbilde? Varbūt, bet ne manā gadījumā. Man tieši otrādi. Tikai pēc savas pirmās filmas pievērsos žanram. Un mana pirmā filma "Cilvēki tur" nebija gluži autobiogrāfiska. Stāsts bija par to, ko biju redzējis, dzirdējis un, protams, piefantazējis klāt. Filmas pamatā bija reāls stāsts. Tie, kas redzējuši šo filmu – realitātē tas notikums bija vēl briesmīgāks un šausmīgāks, nekā filmā. Bet par tām kriminālfilmām… Manuprāt, viens no iemesliem ir tas, ka tā ir brīva zona. Mēs visi – sevišķi jaunībā – augam un ietekmējamies tieši no šī žanra filmām, turklāt ne tikai režisori Latvijā, bet arī pasaulē. Tarantīno, Skorsēze… Varbūt vienīgi Spīlbergs to darījis mazāk nekā citi. Bet vienalga – tas ir žanrs, kas dod tev iespēju izstāstīt ļoti spilgtu, intensīvu un skatītājam interesantu pasauli, kurā ir pilnīgi citi likumi! Protams, mums gribas redzēt un uzzināt vairāk par to, kā cilvēki ignorē sabiedrības normas un dzīvo pēc saviem likumiem. Viņi kaut kādā ziņā ir dumpinieki – saceļas pret normām un netaisnību. Tieši tā, kā Dārta Ceriņa šajā raidījumā stāstīja – tas arī ir par to. Ja cilvēks nevar sasniegt taisnību saskaņā ar likumu, viņš pats pārkāpj likumu, lai taisnību sasniegtu. Un principā visi stāsti ir par to. Cik mēs gribam tos redzēt vai cik varbūt atsaucīgi ir skatītāji uz šo žanru, uz šo tēmu? Tas ir labs jautājums – par atsaucību. Jo tas, ka skatītājiem pirms filmas noskatīšanās tiek solīts, ka tur būs kaut kas tāds, kas piesaistīs uzmanību, ka varoņi pārkāps robežas – tas  uzreiz ir interesanti. Bet mūsu gadījumā, man liekas, Latvijā skatītājam ar ļoti retiem izņēmumiem interesē savi stāsti – lokāli stāsti. Tāpēc arī mums tik ļoti populāras ir patriotiskās filmas, kur skatītājs emocionāli jūtas ļoti komfortabli, jo viņš redz un dzird to, ko viņš grib redzēt un dzirdēt. Neko vairāk. Tāpēc man ir prieks par Oskara Rupenheita filmas lielajiem panākumiem, jo viņš ir uztaisījis diezgan skarbu filmu par 90. gadiem, un esmu labā ziņā pārsteigts, ka skatītājiem patiesi gribējās redzēt tādu filmu, jo biju diezgan skeptisks par to, ka mūsdienās kāds aizies skatīties filmu par 90. gadu bandītiem. Es runāju par filmu "Tumšzilais evaņģēlijs". Tas ir kvalitatīvs darbs, un man prieks, ka šis darbs kļuva par tādu hitu. Kriminālas iezīmes var atrast arī operās, jo ļoti reti tās noslēdzas labi. Bieži atrodami  sižeta pavērsieni, pie kuriem var pieķerties. Tevis veidotajā "Seviļas bārddzinī" bija ļoti laba atsauce uz Franču revolūcijas laiku. Tāpat arī "Hofmaņa stāstos" tā sēņu lietošana arī pārāk legāla tomēr nebija. Kas būs Pjetro Maskanji "Zemnieka godā" un Rudžjēro Leonkavallo "Pajaci" izrādēs, kas tavā režijā būs skatāmas pēc Jaunā gada? Nestāstīšu sīki par to, ko darīsim, bet pamatā tas būs stāsts par lietām, kas mūsdienās skatītājam, iespējams, būs mazliet nesaprotamas, sevišķi mūsu reģionā. Tas ir par atriebību, par godu, par to, ko sabiedrība domā, piemēram, par mani vai par manu sievu. Līdz ar to stāsts ir vairāk par cīņu par savu reputāciju. Cilvēki tādēļ ir gatavi darīt briesmīgas lietas – nogalināt, melot, zagt un tā tālāk. Mūsu gadījumā gribam to visu izveidot mūsu skatītāju sirdīm mazliet tuvāku, lai tas nav par vendetu – jo atriebības tēma ir diezgan primitīvs dramaturģijas gājiens. Man tā kā gribas uztaisīt izrādi drīzāk par varoni, kurš kļūs par pagātnes spoku pārējiem varoņiem. Un kaut kādā ziņā viņš viņus soda par viņu pagātnes grēkiem. Tu domā, ka atriebība ir vienkārši citas kultūras fenomens, ko mums grūti saprast? Saprast var, bet noticēt, uz ko cilvēki ir spējīgi tās dēļ, domāju, ir grūti. Protams, mums atriebības sajūta ir dabiska, un tā ir normāla lieta. Bet ne visi ir gatavi pārkāpt kādus morāles principus vai pat likumu tikai atriebības dēļ. Teiksim, mana sieva bučojas ar citu vīrieti – aiziešu un nogalināšu abus! Noticēt un līdzpārdzīvot tādam stāstam mūsdienās ir diezgan grūti. Tāpēc mans uzdevums kā režisoram ir izdarīt tā, lai skatītājs varētu līdzpārdzīvot, atrast vēl kaut kādu stīgu, kas palīdzētu skatītājam just līdzi vai vismaz noticēt tam visam. Kaut gan tāda izsmalcināta atriebība mūsdienās pastāv diezgan bieži. Ne tieša, bet izsmalcināta. Un šķiet, ka cilvēki to tīri labprāt pielieto. Es ceru, ka ar izsmalcinātību tu nedomā slepkavību! (Smejas.)  Protams, nē! Drīzāk par morālo, statusa atriebību.  Dramaturģiski tas ir ļoti viegli – iedot varonim šādu motivāciju kaut ko darīt, pārkāpt kaut kādas robežas. Bet tieša atriebība, manuprāt, nav labs gājiens, jo tas ir ļoti viegls ceļš. Motivācija varbūt ir, bet pamatojuma reizēm trūkst. Starp citu, Leonkavallo "Pajaci" tavā režijā bija pirms sešiem gadiem. Šis būs cits stāsts?  "Pajaci" paliks tāds pats. Vienkārši toreiz pirmajā daļā bija nevis Maskanji "Zemnieka gods", jo Zigmars Liepiņš vēlējās eksperimentēt, un mēs taisījām Montemeci operu "Burvestība". Ņemot vērā, ka tas bija pirmais šīs operas iestudējums vispār vēsturē, skaidrs, ka atrast dziedātājus, kas atbrauktu un to nodziedātu, bija diezgan liels izaicinājums, kas beidzās ne ar ko, un līdz ar to šo izrādi noņēma no repertuāra. Bet tagad Sandis Voldiņš grib atjaunot "Pajaci" un salikt kopā klasiskajā formātā ar "Zemnieka godu" pirmajā daļā. Tā ka man principā būs jāatjauno "Pajaci" un pilnīgi no jauna jāiestudē "Zemnieka gods". Vai mūzika palīdz atrast tos pagrieziena punktus sižetā? Jā, mūziku klausos ļoti daudz. Manuprāt, ar mūziku režisoram jāstrādā ne mazāk kā ar stāstu. Un ar mūziku ir arī tā: vai nu tu cīnies ar to, vai to pieņem tādu, kāda tā ir, un vienkārši pieliec klāt kādus vizuālus elementus, kas palīdzēs skatītājam gan skatīties, gan klausīties. Un mans uzdevums tāds vienmēr ir bijis, lai abas divas lietas – tas, ko viņi dzird un tas, redz, netraucē viena otrai. Var taisīt kaut ko pilnīgi citu vizuāli, protams, kaut ko negaidītu, bet ir svarīgi, lai tas dotu kaut ko mūzikai. (..) Šobrīd vairāk domāju par to, kā izcelt ļoti "Zemnieka goda" mūziku, ka ir ārkārtīgi salda, melodiska itāļu mūzika. Tagad daudz  skatos itāļu filmas no 50., 60. gadiem – ne tikai neoreālismu, bet arī komēdijas ar Marčello Mastrojāni, piemēram. Tur būs ļoti daudz referenču no kino. Mēs gribam uztaisīt tādu pēckara laika Itāliju, Dino Rīzi vai agrīnā Fellīni komēdijas virzienā. Un "Pajaci" būtu loģisks turpinājums ar tiem pašiem varoņiem, taču pēc 20 vai 30 gadiem, kad viņi nonākuši pansionātā... Tātad periods pēc kara un – astoņdesmitie gadi. Kādā stadijā šobrīd ir iestudējums? Sāksim mēģināt janvārī. Es tagad gatavojos – izpildu mājasdarbus... Bet tagad man tomēr ir lūgums mesties atpakaļ kino pasaulē un doties uz Parīzi, un raidījumā Piejūras klimats, kas izskanēs 13. decembrī, ir arī kāds fragments tieši par filmu skatīšanos Parīzē. Alise Zariņa stāsta par savu pieredzi Parīzē, un raidījuma dalībnieki spriež, ja reakciju, kādu var novērot Francijā, varētu redzēt arī kinoteātros Rīgā. Es teiktu, ka operā vai teātros nekad nekliegs. Atceros, Francijā manis veidotās operas "Karmena" pirmizrādē puse no auditorijas kliedza "Bū!", bet otra puse kliedza "Bravo!" Bija ļoti dīvaina sajūta. Vēl pirms mēģinājuma mani direktore brīdināja: "Aik, atceries, ka nebūs tev tikai aplausi, bet būs arī "Bū!" Šeit ir tāda tradīcija, sevišķi ar "Karmenu", kas frančiem ir svēta lieta. Protams, Latvijā ir tā: ja ir vienkārši aplausi, tas nozīmē, ka izrāde nav sevišķi patikusi. Ja ir aplausi un ceļas kājās, tas ir labi. Bet tagad dažreiz ceļas kājās tikai celšanās pēc – gan filmām, gan izrādēm ir tāda problēma. Atceros, reiz Armēnijā braucu taksī, un tur skanēja kāda briesmīga dziesma. Prasu taksistam: tev patīk tā dziesma? Viņš saka – jā. Es saku – kas tev tajā patīk? Melodija? Viņš saka – nē, viņš dzied par mammām. Kā var nepatikt dziesma, ja tur dzied par mammām?! Un es saprotu, ka šeit tāpat ir ar filmām vai izrādēm: ja tēma ir pareiza un laba, cilvēkam patīk – vienalga, kā tas uztaisīts. Mani tas kaitina un nepatīk. Jo man liekas, ka nav tik svarīgi, par ko, bet kā. Man vienmēr interesē, kā konkrēto tēmu vai stāstu režisors ir interpretējis un parādījis uz skatuves vai uz ekrāna. Bet par to kino vēstures iespēju – Parīzē skatīties senākas un jaunākas filmas: pie mums tā ir ļoti reta iespēja. Vai arī mēs esam pieraduši vairāk skatīties mājās, datorā? Vienkārši mums ir maz cilvēku. Ja mūsu Rīgā būtu četri vai pieci miljoni iedzīvotāju, mums uz lielā ekrāna rādītu arī Bergmana filmas. Bet pēdējos gadus esmu manījis labu tendenci, ka ne tikai "Splendid Palace", bet arī lielajos komerckinoteātros ik pa brīdim rāda klasiku. Piemēram, vakar "Apollo kino" skatījos Kubrika "Mirdzuma" restaurēto versiju. Tas man bija liels piedzīvojums! Tiklīdz rāda kādu klasisko filmu labā kvalitāte, man ir ļoti svarīgi, lai tai būtu laba kvalitāte – gan projekcija, gan pati filmas kopija. Tiklīdz kaut kas tāds notiek, obligāti aizeju un noskatos. Tas vienmēr ir liels prieks. Arī "Splendid Palace" ik pa brīdim rāda klasiskās filmas un redzu, ka cilvēki nāk. Piemēram, vakar uz seansu bija ļoti daudz jauniešu, par ko biju priecīgs. Nezinu, kā viņi to uztvēra un vai viņiem tā patika vai nepatika, bet vienalga – interese bija. Skaidra lieta, ja šī filma būtu repertuārā, zāles būtu tukšas, bet ja ir īpašs seanss – notikums, cilvēki nāk, jo saprot, ka vairs nebūs tādas iespējas. Bet noslēgumā par kādu ļoti būtisku notikumu – par to, kas mūs sagaida 8. Janvārī. Lai arī neko daudz par Latvijas Radio 3 Klasika 30. jubilejas svinībām neatklāsim, mums ir liels prieks par to, ka piekriti būt šī koncerta režisors. Cik tas ir vienkārši – ieraudzīt pārdesmit skaņdarbus un izdomāt, kā tos salikt kopā? Tā būs mana pirmā pieredze... Man ir mazliet bail – vairāk, nekā taisīt operu, jo koncertus nekad neesmu režisējis. Bet, kad man piedāvāja tādu iespēju, negribēju atteikt, jo "Klasika" ir mans mīļākais radio. Vienmēr mašīnā klausos tikai divas radiostacijas, un viena no tām ir jūsu. Pat ja būtu uzaicināts mazgāt grīdas jūsu raidstacijas studijā, būtu atnācis jums palīdzēt! Šobrīd atklāsim to, ka būs krāšņi solisti un orķestri, Latvijas Nacionālais simfoniskais orķestris un Latvijas Radio bigbends, būs arī dažādi kamersastāvi. Vai tas var palīdzēt saprast to, kas tad tā "Klasika" īsti ir? "Klasika" ir tas, kas eksistē un dzīvo pāri laikam: laiks iet, bet tā dzīvo un eksistē. Jo tā ir klasika. Vai tas ir džezs vai akadēmiska mūzika – tam nav nekādas nozīmes. Cauri laikiem tas dzīvo, eksistē, un tas katrā ziņā ir mūžīgs.  Bet koncerta ziņā, protams, mums būs vizuāli elementi , kas apvienos to visu. Tajā pašā laikā, kas ir labi – katrā skaņdarbā mainās garastāvoklis, atmosfēra. Līdz ar to man kā režisoram galvenais uzdevums ir izdomāt pārejas no viena skaņdarba uz otru. Atrisināt tieši šo niansi. Bet baidos, ka tik ļoti baudīšu to koncertu, ka aizmirsīšu par saviem pienākumiem un darbu... (Smejas.)  Šajā koncertā būs mūsu rezidences mākslinieki Aigars Raumanis un Annija Kristiāna Ādamsone. Būs arī Elīna Garanča un Maestro Raimonds Pauls! Bet radoši tehniskajā komandā būs cilvēki, ar kuriem tu darbojies visai bieži – Artis Dzērve, Mārtiņš Vilkārsis. Tev ir svarīgi savi cilvēki, ar kuriem saproties no pusvārda? Protams. Tas ir ne tikai par rezultātu, bet arī par darba procesu. Līdz ar gadiem esmu sapratis, ka vēlos arī baudīt procesu, un procesu var baudīt, tikai pateicoties cilvēkiem, ar kuriem tu strādā! Man negribas ciest, man negribas cīnīties, man gribas vienkārši labi pavadīt laiku un sasniegt labu rezultātu. Tas jau nenozīmē, ka tā sanāks! Bet jāmēģina. Bet, tiklīdz tu izvirzi tādu uzdevu, vismaz uz pusi sanāk. Bet šie cilvēki mani pazīst ļoti ilgu laiku, esam ļoti daudz ko taisījuši kopā, sevišķi ar Arti Dzērvi un Kristīni Pasternaku. Domāju, viss būs interesanti un labi. Vai nav kādas šaubas par to, ka kaut ko var atkārtot? Kaut kas līdzīgs jau ir bijis?  Nē, nē! Neesmu redzējis koncertus. Godīgi sakot, pat nezinu, kā citi ir taisījuši koncertus. Līdz ar to man ir tāda sajūta, ka var darīt jebko. Bet tajā pašā laikā man dots ļoti konkrēts uzdevums no jūsu radio puses – ko jūs vēlaties, kam jābūt, un tas man vienkārši jāsaliek kopā. Man nav jāizdomā izrāde – šis ir mazliet cits uzdevums.

PREVIEW Call to Abolish Tariffs and Reform H-1B Visas to Revive U.S. Manufacturing. Dave Hebert, writing for the Civotas Institute, outlines steps necessary to return America to being a manufacturing giant and productive inventor of the future. He argues for making it easier for productive American workers by abolishing tariffs on imported raw materials and components. He also stresses the need to reform the H-1B visa system to attract highly skilled, competent, and educated people to the country to ultimately lift the nation's productivity. Guest: Dave Hebert. 1870

Immigration is a key part of the American story. Many, many people have come to the United States committed to loving and serving their new country.  But nations have to exercise caution and prudence with the way that they conduct immigration. Bad policy and abuses of the system can lead to all kinds of problems, as we know well here in the United States. The Second Trump Administration has gone a long way toward improving immigration policy, and one of the areas now being discussed is that of H1B visas. These are visas intended to be issued to skilled workers, but there are serious concerns about the number of visas being issued and the ways that they affect American citizens. To understand this issue, I sat down with Simon Hankinson, Senior Research Fellow in the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation.—Follow Simon Hankinson at Heritage.org: https://www.heritage.org/staff/simon-hankinsonSimon's Book, The Ten Woke Commandments You Must Not Obey: https://thetenwokecommandments.com/—Have thoughts?

   If you saw pictures or videos of the elegant dinner Tuesday night at the White House all you could think is President Trump is making dinners great again.  Oh, and we need a new ballroom at the White House.  Wait until you hear this guest list.    A listener sent an incredible email about what he sees every day in the trucking industry and you will be shocked.  Marco Rubio announces a whopping number of VISA's he's revoked because people come here and do bad things.   In sports, KU played Duke hard and tough but just didn't have enough without star guard Darryn Peterson.  But it left you asking the question if KU is better than Duke if they did have him.  A survey in Kansas regarding new ballparks is a total waste of time.  HOA's near the 119th and Nalls site seem to think they have some power in preventing the Royals from building.    The computer says the Chiefs are 50/50 to make the playoffs, I'll take the YES side of that bet and we explain why.  Callaway sells Top Golf and our Final Final is an online trend of how to get the best of Porch Pirates.

Savage calls for a moratorium of the H-1B visa program, arguing that it kills jobs for American workers. He reveals that the support for H-1B visas is a payback for political and financial support from the tech giants. He shares first hand accounts from American workers who were sidelined by H-1B visa workers. He reminds listeners that he called for a new "Manhattan Project" to empower and equip the next generation of Americans to be innovators in science and technology.

Donald Trump this week offered support for the H-1B visa program because of a lack of skilled workers in the United States.

Tara breaks down the hidden truths behind the H-1B visa system and how it's impacting young Americans. With unemployment among 20- to 24-year-olds at 9.2%, entry-level white-collar STEM jobs are being filled by visa holders willing to work 10–50% below median U.S. pay—often for a guaranteed pathway to citizenship. Tara exposes how companies exploit this system, effectively chaining foreign workers to their desks for years while displacing talented American graduates. She also critiques recent political missteps, highlighting how these policies could alienate an entire generation of voters and empower the opposition.

Tara dives deep into the biggest threats to American workers and the next generation. From massive welfare fraud across multiple states to H-1B visa exploitation that displaces young Americans from STEM jobs, this episode exposes the hidden forces shaping the economy and politics. Tara discusses the consequences of illegal immigration, corporate manipulation, and government mismanagement on housing, wages, and employment, while highlighting how recent policy changes and enforcement efforts are reshaping the landscape. She also addresses political hoaxes and media manipulation, revealing how transparency and accountability are finally challenging the status quo.

More than 500,000 Russians were granted visas to the European Union's Schengen zone in 2024 — nearly half of which allow for multiple entry over many years. The visitor numbers are down by 90 percent compared with pre-pandemic 2019, but half a million people still isn't nothing. And it's about to seem astronomical, following a recent decision by the European Union to introduce a ban on multi-entry visas to the Schengen zone for Russian citizens. Many have welcomed the E.U.'s new policy as long overdue, justifying the restrictions as a commonsense security measure and a morally righteous punishment for the citizens of a state terrorizing the continent and making war in Ukraine. That has not been the response from most Russian activists and journalists, however. For these people, Europe's new multi-entry visa police will shatter the workflows and evacuation plans that had made it possible to continue limited forms of independent reporting and activism inside Russia. To learn more about these repercussions, The Naked Pravda spoke to journalist and activist Elena Kostyuchenko, author of the 2023 book I Love Russia: Reporting From a Lost Country. In a November 10 social media post, Kostyuchenko laid out why her colleagues are “panicking” about the new E.U. visa policy. She joined Meduza's podcast to break it down further.

Tara breaks down the ongoing immigration and visa crisis in the U.S., examining how both illegal immigration and H-1B visa programs are impacting American jobs, wages, and housing. From ICE operations in Florida to California's illegal CDL drivers, Tara exposes how corporate and political interests have diluted the workforce, driving up housing costs and displacing Americans. She also scrutinizes Trump's policies, including his visa fees and immigration enforcement, explaining what's working, what's not, and where political narratives distort the truth. Additionally, Tara addresses media manipulation, including the BBC's misrepresentation of Trump's speeches, and explains how these narratives affect public perception.

President Trump signed the bill to reopen the government. Democrats got nothing they wanted out of the deal, no money for illegal aliens and no extensions on ACA subsidies. The shutdown exposed how awful Obamacare really is with insurance company stocks soaring 1000% and premiums bankrupting American families and making insurance brokers rich. President Trump has called to get rid of Obamacare and allow people to buy their own healthcare. H1-B visas are back in the spotlight as the country has been flooded with cheap labor. MAGA wants these manufacturing jobs to go to Americans, while places like China and Korea are dominant in manufacturing for the devices we use everyday. It is time to provide training to Americans to do these specialized jobs that are currently dominated by H1-B holders. Democrats are back on the Epstein case since their shutdown failed miserably. The house will vote on the discharge petition to release the files, Republicans should vote yes to finally put an end to the Epstein scandal. Polls show AOC would crush Chuck Schumer in a Senate race, will he bow out after his failed shutdown or continue to humiliate himself in a losing battle? The shutdown is over and we had some big winners and losers this week, our panel unpacks it all!
