Hello and welcome to Background Briefing available 24-7 at Background Briefing.org. I'm Mee and Masters, and today we'll look into a number of stories and issues in the news.

We'll begin with the Latino and Latino vote being the critical decider in the election less than two weeks away and assess whether the latest revelation of Trump's racist contempt

for Americans with roots in Spanish-speaking countries will sway the vote in Harris's favor.

Trump had promised to pay for the funeral of a young Latino soldier who was brutally murdered,

but when he got the bill, he told his chief of staff he wasn't going to pay.

Quote, it doesn't cost 60,000 bucks to bury an effing Mexican.

Joining us is Lydia Camarillo, the president of the Southwest Voter Registration Education Project,

a national non-profit, non-partisan organization based out of San Antonio, Texas.

She plays a key role in developing the tactical strategies of the SVREP,

nonpartisan voter registration, voter education,

and get out the vote campaigns.

And President Clinton and Vice President Gore appointed Lydia to serve as the CEO of the 2000 Democratic National Convention.

Prior to joining SVREP, Camarillo served as the National Director of the Leadership Development Program

for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund.

Then we'll examine how the reality TV star who became famous for his catchphrase,

Joining us is Stephen Greenhouse, Senior Fellow at the Century Century Foundation,

who was previously a reporter for the New York Times,

who covered labor in the workplace for 19 years.

He also served as a business and economics reporter and diplomatic and foreign correspondent.

The author of The Big Squeeze, Tough Times for the American Worker, and beaten down, worked up the past and present and future of American labor.
