  • Planning for the Future in This Economy; Mahmoud Khalil's Legal Team Reacts to Judge's Ruling
    2025/04/13
    A new survey of how consumers feel about the economy confirms: the vibes are off. And we know the impact is disproportionately felt by people of color, trying to save for the future and retirement. Victor asks entrepreneur John Hope Bryant if he sees a way forward. An immigration judge in Louisiana says pro-Palestinian student activist Mahmoud Khalil can be deported. Members of Khalil’s legal team, Baher Azmy and Ramzi Kassem, tell Victor what the decision means for Khalil and the other students facing deportation for their activism. Victor also shares the devastating case of Victor Perez. The 17-year-old with autism was shot multiple times by police in Idaho. He was seen with a knife, but the family – and even the original 911 caller – say officers totally botched their response. CNN Senior Law Enforcement Analyst Charles Ramsey shares his analysis. Plus, the National Indian Health Board wants to meet with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to discuss cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services, which dropped just as National Minority Health Month got underway. Victor speaks with their CEO, A.C. Locklear. And later, Augusta has a new monument to the Black caddies of The Masters. Victor explores their overlooked legacy and the tribute with artist Baruti Tucker in this week’s “Art is Life”.

    The Trump Administration is fighting to detain and deport Cornell student activist Momodou Taal. Taal’s attorneys, Eric Lee and Chris Godshall-Bennett, have a warning about other foreign students they say are being targeted across the country. President Trump says he wants to remove "improper ideology" from our nation's top historical and cultural institution, the Smithsonian. Pulitzer-prize winning historian of African American history, David W. Blight, explains why he thinks this is “a political declaration of war.” Latino and Black voters could have a particularly important role to play in the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court race that’s getting national attention. Victor speaks with Milwaukee County GOP Chairman Hilario Deleon and Angela Lang, the executive director of Black Leaders Organizing Communities in Milwaukee, about their respective outreach. Plus, Actor Malik Yoba got a lot of attention for saying "I’m no longer a Black man." He joins Victor to explain why he thinks people missed his real goal of sparking a conversation about the ongoing purge of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. And later, Lisa France and Victor break out their fans to talk about line dancing and Black joy as an act of resistance. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
