Sergio Siderman is an Immigration Attorney whose origin story includes kidnappings, random, and of course, the asylum process. We invited him on the show to inject some facts into the goings on with ICE in an effort to fight through the noise and pundits. Sergio explains what is really happening to immigrants of varying immigration status, why this whole thing began, crime statistics, the effects it will have on your community, and what people with green cards, visas, in-process immigration, or not status at all, should do to prepare for the future. It's an incredible enlightening episode and even if you don't have any immigrants in your family, you surely know some, and this hour will help you better understand their lives. We also talk about the race that Matt, Sergio, and Jonny Lieberman will be participating in at COTA later this year. https://sidermanlaw.com/?lang=en The study on immigrant crime statistics: https://siepr.stanford.edu/news/mythical-tie-between-immigration-and-crime Recorded June 11, 2025 Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/mfsirfru #CashAppPod Get TWENTY PERCENT off your DeleteMe plan when you go to https://www.joindeleteme.com/TIRE and use promo code TIRE at checkout.

Most important for us, in addition to contributing to all the biggest car magazine, he is the co-author of the automotive books “Never Stop Driving”, “Corvette Stingray: The Mid-Engine Revolution”, and “The Atlas of Car Design“ On this episode we talk about Brett's RIDICULOUS lineup of recent drives; how the new Aston Vanquish holds up to other big super-GT cars; what Mazda might be up to (and why we hope it's not rotary things); why a man repairs Reatta screens; the strange journey of the Oldsmobile Aurora; Saab's end; and how the tariffs might effect the automotive industry. https://brettberk.com/bio/ Recorded April 14, 2025 You can find Cremo’s new line of antiperspirants and deodorants at Target or Target.com Rula patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance.
