| 0:00.0 | What's good, y'all? This is Code Switch. I'm Gene Demby. |
| 0:06.8 | And I'm Shrine Marisol Maraji, and here's Donald Trump, President of the United States. |
| 0:12.2 | From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land. From this day forward, it's going |
| 0:21.7 | to be only America first. America first. |
| 0:28.1 | So we know some of you are anxious about what that America first means. |
| 0:32.7 | Okay. And so we invited Ahilin Arrulan on the |
| 0:35.6 | moon to the show to address some of your fears. He's a civil rights lawyer with the ACLU |
