No Kings, Just Questions: A Deep Dive on Democracy, Immigration, and the Cost of Truth

People, Politics and Pork

In this powerful solo episode of People, Politics and Pork, hosts Newell Clark and Greg Webb tackle some of the most pressing issues facing the nation today — from immigration and constitutional guardrails to the role of journalism in a democracy. Broadcasting from separate locations but united in purpose, the duo returns to their signature format of meaningful, unscripted conversation that feels both timely and timeless.

Greg shares firsthand reflections from the “No Kings” protest in Nashville, offering a critical lens on the growing tensions around executive overreach, erosion of due process, and the politicization of the military. Newell challenges common misconceptions around immigration, pointing to both personal ancestry and the broader truth of America’s immigrant foundation.

As the episode progresses, the conversation peels back layers of misinformation, political theater, and the rise of infotainment in news. They address the human cost of performative politics — especially in immigration — with stories like that of Mr. Garcia, whose case embodies the conflict between law, justice, and public opinion.

The show closes with a stirring reminder from both hosts: the importance of truth, thoughtful journalism, and the shared responsibility to govern for all people — not just one’s base. As always, Greg and Newell don't tell you what to think — they just ask you to think.
