Trump Threatens a Tariffs War. 

President-elect Trump announced he would impose a 25 percent tariff on all products coming into the United States from Mexico and Canada on his first day in office. What’s behind this move? How would this action impact prices, trade and the economy in the US?

Hate Messages on the Rise After the Election. After a recent wave of racist anonymous messages targeting Latino, Black, and LGBTQ+ individuals following the Presidential election, and at a moment of heightened fear in the Latino community about mass deportations, civil rights groups call on law enforcement authorities to investigate these hate incidents.

Guest: Juan Proaño, Executive Director, League of United Latin American Citizens-LULAC, Miami, FL.

The Return of White Nationalists. Trump’s Madison Square Garden closing campaign event was filled with hateful racist insults. In a new documentary, journalists state that this is not unusual. During his first administration, figures with ties to white supremacy groups had prominent roles. They ask: will white supremacists again serve in Trump’s administration?

Guest: Marco Amador, Producer and Director, Creative Director, Capital & Main, Los Angeles, CA.
