With splashes of humor, Dawson and Brian continue their discussion on could Native American reservations become states. They bring up Puerto Rico and the possibility to become an official state, to become inependent or stay as they are. They voted, but what was the outcome of multiple elections? What politcal affiliation would Puerto Rico have and why? Where would the Virgin Islands stand? How does the Jones Act play into this? How would Guam, the Samoan Islands and the Marshall Islands be integrated into the states? Could Cuba and the Philippines gain their own American statehood by their own vote given they were once part of America? Could British colonies such as Jamaica, Bermuda, Canada, Australia, Scotland, and even the Inuit and Haiti be given the same offer? Would expansion and absorption of these territories make for a successful America First? They cover the possibilities of some lesser known territories and parts of countries that have been given back by America.
Why are your avocados from Mexico so expensive? You might be surprised to learn who controls them. They speculate on parts of South America to assist in providing our food sources. Brian points out that in view of the number of people wishing to visit America that it might benefit them to be part of the country whose values those visitors already admire. They wrap up with the down side of expansion and how likely could the Adminisration be able to facilitate this idea?
