State of the Union.
After being delayed for one week over the shutdown fiasco, President Trump delivers his State of the Union speech. While calling for compromise and cooperation, Trump went on the attack demanding from Congress an end to investigations and money for the border wall. Democrats Stacey Abrams and Xavier Becerra were chosen to give the Democratic response. Abrams, who almost became the nation’s first African-American woman governor in Georgia, is the first Black women to give a response to a State of the Union speech. Becerra, the first Latino attorney general of California, who has sued the Trump administration 45 times, will rebut Trump’s speech in Spanish. This segment features highlights of the State of the Union address and the Democratic rebuttals.
Guests: (Audio Segments) President Trump, State of the Union Address, Washington, DC; Stacey Abrams, Former Democratic Candidate to Governor in Georgia, Atlanta, GA; Xavier Becerra, California Attorney General, Sacramento, CA.
Texas Voters Purge. The state of Texas released an alert questioning nearly 100,000 voters citizenship. Counties are not finding evidence of voters’ wrongdoing. Civil rights leaders call this a smokescreen and a move to suppress votes. Is this move related to the extraordinary surge of Latino voter turnout in November’s election?
Guests: Alejandra Avila, abogada, MALDEF, San Antonio, TX; Cristina Tzintzun Ramírez, Founder and Executive Director, Jolt, Austin, TX.
