THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6
PROGRAM #10951  12:00 PM PT 

Sin Fronteras. This is a program of “Sin Fronteras,” a special series to serve audiences in the US and Mexico with breaking news and analysis about major developments impacting Latinos in the US.

What Do the Election Results Reveal? 

Guests: Mariana Pineda, Reporter, Houston, TX; Jesus Garcia, Reporter and Editor of Politics, Immigration, and National Affairs, El Diario and La Opinión newspapers, New York, NY; Jose Lopez Zamorano, Correspondent, Washington, DC; Daniela Rodriguez, Reporter at Radio Bilingüe, UC Berkeley Fellow, Fresno, CA.

Following Tuesday’s elections, the political landscape in the United States is beginning to take shape. California and New York drew national attention, mobilizing millions of voters in a showdown between Democratic state leaders and the Republican White House. How did the elections unfold? What role did Latino voters play? How is the Trump administration responding to the results? And how is each party positioned heading into 2026?

​​Guest: Unai Montes-Irueste, Media Strategy Director, People’s Action, Los Angeles, CA.

Secret Operations in the Pacific. The Trump administration has intensified its military offensive in the eastern Pacific, where it recently bombed four boats, leaving 14 people dead. Without providing evidence, the White House accused the boat crews of drug trafficking. Pentagon officials were required to sign unusual nondisclosure agreements, despite existing military secrecy rules. The attacks occurred off the coasts of Venezuela, Colombia, and Mexico. Who were the victims and survivors? How are these countries responding? What are experts in warfare and international law saying?

Guest: Terry Lynn Karl, Emeritus Professor of Political Science and Latin American Studies, Stanford University, Stanford, CA.

OpenAI Morphs. The organization behind ChatGPT announced a new for-profit structure. This long-anticipated change will allow it to operate like a traditional company and raise billions of dollars for artificial intelligence development. The decision cements its position as one of the leading players in the tech industry, competing with giants like Google, Amazon, and Meta. What does this transformation entail? What ethical questions arise from shifting from a nonprofit model to one driven by corporate profit? How is OpenAI positioning itself in the tech market, and what does this mean for everyday AI users?

Guest: Orson Aguilar, Founding President and CEO, LatinoProsperity, Los Angeles, CA.

Election results Prop. 50

Guests: Samuel Orozco, News Director, Radio Bilingue, Fresno, CA; Xavier Becerra, former Secretary of Health and Human Services and candidate for governor of California, Sacramento, CA.
