In Episode #64, the hosts debate California Governor Gavin Newsom’s controversial use of Trump-style digital tactics—ranging from all-caps rants to AI-generated memes—to dominate political discourse and boost his national profile. They explore whether this theatrical strategy signals desperation or a calculated move toward the 2028 Democratic nomination. The hour concludes with an interview featuring Dr. Laura Madrid, a leading expert in international migration and head of the Global Intelligence Unit at Global Citizen Solutions. Her research focuses on global mobility trends, including digital nomadism and retirement migration, and how shifting demographics are reshaping migration policy and economic development worldwide.
