Weekly Roundup: Golden Visas and Immense Cruelty (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast)

Brad and Dan discuss a range of pressing issues under the Trump administration, focusing on the controversial ‘Golden Visa’ proposal. Donald Trump’s plan would allow wealthy foreigners to purchase U.S. citizenship for $5 million, raising questions about who is deemed valuable in America. 

They talk about the broader implications of this policy, including its exclusionary stance towards asylum seekers, the elderly, and those on Medicaid. 

They also tackle Elon Musk’s unprecedented influence over the executive branch, particularly through mass firings and the contracting of federal communications systems. 

The episode examines plans for mass deportation, including proposals involving military contractors and private mercenaries. Additionally, the hosts scrutinize the moral and ethical values underpinning these policies, comparing them to historical practices in Russia under Vladimir Putin.
