The conversation shifts to immigration policies and how elites exploit cheap labor, alongside a critique of Tim Dillon's view on job competition. They also discuss Trump's controversial post about Rob Reiner's murder, contrasting today's polarized environment with the unity depicted in classic shows like 'All in the Family.'
