Ray Kump joins and they discuss the Senate response to the cage policy, Trump's Art of the Deal quote plastered on an abandoned Walmart shelter, and whether comedy and art are obligated to reflect the moment, comparing it to art under Nazi Germany.
- 4:06Tim argues that debate about kids in cages with people making memes as jokes isn't productive, but the country should at least agree children don't belong in pens.
- 5:37Ray Kump enters and agrees, suggesting the solution is simply to stop caging people—they're not going to stop them anyway.
- 6:10Tim maintains that immigration and security concerns are debatable topics, but draws a line: the wealthiest country in the world can't have pens of children.
- 6:44Children were being kept at a Walmart with a Trump quote from an executive order plastered on the wall.
