If there was ever a time for a powerful movement to come, it is now.

And I think that this is our moment right now to really show this country that we deserve to be here as well.

And it will happen.

Welcome to In The Thick. This is a podcast about politics, race and culture from a POC perspective and I'm your host, Maria Injosa.

With me in Harlem is Julio Ricardo Vallejo.

He's a political editor here at the Futuro media group, Julio?

Maria.

And from his hotel room after pulling an all-nighter.

Over at the Huffington Post is Washahat Ali.

He's a writer, commentator, and host at the Huffington Post.

Hey Wash.

Thanks, as always, Rick.

And joining us from Cleveland is the Terrell J. Star, National Political Correspondent

for Fusion.

Welcome back, Terrell.

Thank you.

So we normally have our In The Thick Guests with us right here in the studio in Harlem, but given the late night after the election and the lack of sleep, both Terrell and Waj called in over somewhat low quality phone connections, but we're glad to have them with us for

this conversation. We are gonna start with a clip from CNN's Van Jones. He spoke on

Tuesday night about the fear that people are feeling across the country after a Donald Trump victory.

Here's the tape.

It's hard to be a parent tonight for a lot of us.

You tell your kids, don't be a bully.
