KICKED OUT of USA for NOTICING Too Hard?

Matt challenges a U.S. visa policy tied to criticism of Israel and asks whether America is treating an ally like a political spouse. He also examines inherited guilt, Trump Media's $100,000 Truth Social API, market access, de-banking, China election claims, border phone searches, and how creators can prove they are human online.
