Summary
The media often portrays Donald Trump and Steve Bannon as explicitly anti-Latino and anti-POC. But does this reflect what they really believe? Does it matter? Or should we simply judge Trump and Bannon on their actions and policies alone?
In this first ever live recording of In The Thick, hosts Maria Hinojosa and Julio Ricardo Varela lead a discussion with Steve Cortes, contributor to Fox News and an informal advisor to President Trump, and Esther Cepeda, featured opinion columnist at the Washington Post.
Plus, Julio and Maria call up Ed O’Keefe of the Washington Post to go over the latest on Donald Trump, James Comey, and Russia.

| 0:19.1 | coming Friday but first this week, this has been pretty insane even by Trump administration standards, right? |

| 0:35.5 | revealed classified information to the Russians in a closed-door meeting while |
| 0:39.5 | they were at the White House. So Julio and I called up our friend Ed O'Keefe who's at the Washington Post to do a quick check-in. |
| 0:46.6 | Hey Ed! Give me one second. I'm at a event here, hold on in a hotel downtown. I'm just going to try to get to a quieter spot |

| 1:07.1 | Well, we don't know the specific information that was released because my colleagues who reported the story found out what it is and were sort of |
| 1:17.0 | advised by intelligence officials that it would be best not to specify it. |
| 1:21.2 | But this much we know. It had to do with the Islamic State and it was |
