Summary

In today's all-new episode, our hosts Renato Mariotti and Asha Rangappa discuss the dangers behind a slate of horrendous executive orders signed during Trump's first week in office. In what was meant to be a show of "shock and awe," turned out to be just "shocking and awful."

Or call the Travelstore at 1-800-777-6540 for more information. Asha, a National Security Law Lecturer at Yale and former FBI agent, along with Renato, an ex-federal prosecutor, dissect how Trump's recent executive orders could dismantle birthright citizenship, a pivotal part of America’s identity that’s enshrined in the Constitution. The order seeks to redefine children born to non-legal permanent residents as no longer "subject to the jurisdiction" of the U.S. Asha and Renato explain how this interpretation is in direct contradiction with established precedent, warranting strong legal challenges and public pushback. Our hosts also scrutinize Trump’s executive orders beyond citizenship, including his immigration policies that have led to raids, hurt undocumented immigrants, and heightening tensions in cities across America. And we’ll consider the possibility that Trump's tactics are more about creating fear—rather than implementing any actionable policies. Be sure to join us next week as Renato and Asha unravel the complexities that don’t fit into mere soundbites. Stay informed, stay empowered, and we’ll see you next time.
