Summary
First, they roll their eyes at a newly minted union of baristas in Philadelphia that got their own store closed down, losing all their jobs. Andy offers them a reminder: you cannot repeal the laws of economics, and the minimum wage is always ultimately $0.
Next, they tear into the executive order that President Biden reportedly plans to sign which would allow illegal immigrants to obtain work permits if they have been here at least 10 years and are married to U.S. citizens. Andy points out Biden's double standard in blaming Congress for his inability to deal with the border crisis and then turning around to issue an executive order that unconstitutionally supersedes the authority of Congress.
Finally, they facepalm as CNN tries to paint the use of "republic" by conservatives as an attack on democracy. Andy discusses the importance of a republic, which safeguards liberty by limiting the power of institutions and placing necessary checks on the will of the majority.
