Politico BuzzRon Desanti's Problem With Math TextbooksSo, Desantis claims that publishers use math textbooks to indoctrinate elementary school students with "race essentialism," which is how right-wing activists characterize CRT. I know it sounds crazy but this is the world that Republicans want us to live in now, a world field with paranoia and xenophobia. However, there was one big problem with Ronnys' claim: It was completely and unequivocally false. It was false because no reviewer of Florida math textbooks for elementary school students found any instances of CRT. The truth is that each of the reviewers explicitly stated that they did not find...2022-05-1919 min

Politico BuzzSome in GOP Want a Return to Hand Counted BallotsEver since Trump lost the presidential election, he and his republican supporters have sought ways exact revenge for the loss. Trump had concocted the idea that the elections were rigged because he couldn't fathom losing and thereby joining the shortlist of a first-term President like John Adams, John Tyler & Andrew Johnson. So, instead of conceding with a modicum of decorum, he emboldened his cult followers that they should find out just how rigged the elections were in places like Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, etc. because it was inconceivable that he lost the election to Joe Biden. --- Support...2022-04-0616 min

Bear in mind that these efforts are anything but authentic pieces journalism and in fact have backfired rather embarrassingly. At the moment, I say this because there are plenty of other right wing leaning media outlets that will no doubt publish some ill-conceived story that will target some Democrat any time now, there are two media outlets that have had to deal wi...2021-06-1012 min

Politico BuzzLiz Cheney Victim of Cancel Culture AgainIf you recall, back in February, which wasn’t that long ago, when Liz Cheney, the No. 3 House Republican from Wyoming, came very close to losing her leadership position after a tense meeting with fellow GOP leaders, she beat back a conservative-led push to oust her as conference chair for voting to impeach Donald Trump. This effort by Trump loyalists to punish Cheney, the highest-ranking woman in GOP leadership, had been boiling for what seemed weeks and it eventually came to head during a very heated, closed-door meeting that went on for more than four hours as se...2021-06-1010 min

Politico BuzzFlorida Passes Voting Bill SB90 on Confederate Memorial DayThe Republican Party’s nationwide efforts to significantly reduce states’ vote-by-mail processes has just made its legislative debut in the state of Florida. On March 10, Florida lawmakers had advanced the bill titled SB-90 under the auspices of the title “Election Administration,” they too decided to follow Georgia’s lead in chipping away at voting rights. Of all the days that this bill could have been introduced by the Senators in the GOP-led chamber, they chose Monday, April the 26th, to pass S.B. 90 by a vote of 23-17, which is Confederate Memorial Day. The Florida House, which is also le...2021-06-1011 min

Politico BuzzJosh Hawley’s “The Blue Collar Bonus” Wage PlanAccused insurrectionist Sen. Josh Hawley is all in on the minimum wage scheme and introduces an alternative to the Democrats’ proposal that would use federal dollars to increase low-earning workers’ income. Hawley is breaking with the mainstream GOP views in suggesting that he believes the federal minimum wage is too low, which is a first –to my knowledge -coming from a Republican. Overall, his proposal would amount to a three-year program that would increase worker wages in 2021, funded by the taxpayers rather than employers. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rene-hi...2021-06-1008 min

Politico BuzzThe Final Days of Mike PompeoMike Pompeo, just like his boss, Donald Trump, resorted to Tweets whenever it suited him but for the most part, most of his Tweets have been self-congratulatory, bordering on self-aggrandizement, perhaps an indication that he has Presidential aspirations in the future. In this episode we gloss over Pompeo’s achievements or accomplishments when he served his term as Trump’s US Secretary of State & Chief Political Advisor. Sadly, Pompeo won’t be adding that much to his resume during his tenure with the Trump administration. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rene-hinojosa5/suppor 2021-06-0914 min

Politico BuzzWhat Does Defund the Police Mean?The death of George Floyd has galvanized much of America to move forward towards police reform. The idea of defunding police, once previously viewed as radical, is now a reality in some parts of the country while other places are following suit. The murders of George Floyd, Eric Garner, Philando Castile, Sandra Bland, Michael Brown, and countless other Black and Brown people at the hands of police are not anomalies. They are evidence of a racist system that disproportionately targets people of color for violence, imprisonment, and death. Such high profile cases, coupled with statistics and polls...2021-06-0908 min

Politico BuzzBiden Set To Cancel Keystone XL PipelineThe Keystone XL Pipeline is a massive project, first proposed by an energy infrastructure company, TransCanada, back in 2008. It is a pipeline designed to transport the dirtiest fossil fuel to the market very fast, and increase capacity to process some 168 million barrels of crude oil from Canada’s boreal forest. Essentially, this massive project would be able to precisely transport 338,000 barrels of nasty Alberta tar sands oil daily to other refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast. In this episode, I interview Rebekah Hinojosa, member of “Another Gulf is Possible Collaborative.” Rebekah gives us some insight into the more n...2021-06-0927 min

latinousaCalle 13: Accidental Revolutionaryene Perez Joglár, lyricist and frontman for Calle 13, didn’t mean to become a revolutionary icon for Latin America’s youth. “They try to put stamps on you,” Perez tells Latino USA in a one-on-one interview. “It’s more simple than that. It’s just a normal guy, writing about the things he sees around him.” Calle 13 began life as a potty-mouthed rap group from Puerto Rico. They gained attention for their alternative take on reggaeton, characterized by over-the-top sexual humor and smart punch lines. Over years and albums, their music became more serious and socially engaged, addressing topics like poverty, mig...2014-12-1911 min
