    Congressman James Clyburn joins Victor to react to the deal to avoid a government shutdown. As a former leader of Democrats in the House, we get his thoughts on what made it into the agreement, what got left out, the path forward for Democrats next year. Plus, Victor shares the story of a family separated right before the holidays. A man in Texas says his wife missed an immigration hearing as she recovered from giving birth to twins. She and her children were all deported to Mexico. The father, who is a U.S. citizen, is now fighting to reunite with them and spoke to CNN. The President of Harvard’s Black Law Students Association joins Victor to explain why the number of Black and Hispanic students in the university’s Class of 2027 concerns him.

  • How Black Federal Workers Could Be Disproportionately Impacted by Cuts to Government Jobs

    How Black Federal Workers Could Be Disproportionately Impacted by Cuts to Government Jobs
    2024/12/07
    Federal work has historically been a ladder to the middle class for millions of Americans of all races, but especially Black people. Many of those government employees were watching closely this week as the co-leaders of the so-called “Department of Government Efficiency" or "DOGE" visited Capitol Hill to pitch their plans. Everett Kelley, the National President of the American Federation of Government Employees, joins Victor to react. Plus, Victor speaks with Ryan Wetzel. His grandfather Walter "Blackie" Wetzel helped design a logo for the NFL’s Washington Commanders. That logo was dropped in 2020, along with the team’s original name. Ryan shares why his family now wants the team to bring the logo back. Later, the Justice Department says Memphis police need federal oversight. But the city of Memphis is pushing back. Victor speaks with Connie Rice, a civil rights attorney who worked with the Obama White House on police reform. A descendant of Pearl Harbor hero Doris “Dorie” Miller joins Victor to discuss his family’s push for Miller to posthumously be awarded the Medal of Honor. And Victor checks-in with Rhiannah Gordon, a single mom whose video with her kids emotionally reacting to her passing California’s bar exam is going viral on social media.
