This week I cover the horrifying and all too common Santa Fe school shooting, the effects of toxic masculinity and why thoughts and prayers are not enough.

In this episode I talk about Trump's Michigan rally, in particular the line "Are there any Hispanics in the room?" and I also cover Andrew Gillum's excellent response to Richard Corcoran's insanely racist ad.

I briefly cover the latest Trump insanity, but spend most of my time talking about race issues with a special guest! Briefly, I mentioned Shaun King's new initiative. You can learn more here: https://realjusticepac.org/ Don't forget my Patreon: www.patreon.com/espanglish  

Michael Cohen's office was raided by the FBI, which is a BIG deal. Of course, our Baby in Chief has thrown several temper tantrums already and he's just getting started. Will he fire Mueller? I go over that and more! Remember to join me on Patreon and be a part of helping me making Podcast Great Again! :D

Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King mocked Emma Gonzalez for wearing a Cuban flag patch while giving a speech in favor of gun control. Of course, King and his minions failed to understand that a country's flag represents the people and NOT the government or administration in power. I cover that and more.

I really tried to keep a cool head with this one. You be the judge if I succeeded. Simply stated, Black Lives Matter is important because we live in a society permeated with white supremacy and until we deal with that, we're going to keep seeing these senseless police shootings of unarmed black people.

I quickly go over yet another insane week, from Betsy Devos' crazy 60 Minute Interview, to Rex Tillerson getting fired over Twitter and of course, the firing of Andrew McCabe.

Historically, Cubans have mainly aligned themselves with the Republican Party. That's not so true of the younger generation of Cuban-Americans, like Emma Gonzalez, but the Cubans who came in the 50s and 60s are still strong Republicans. I take a look at why that is. I also go over some of the week's craziest moments. Never a dull moment with this White House.

I tried to be as coherent as possible when expressing my frustration over our elected officials' (lack of) response at the latest school shooting. This one took place at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

Doing something a little different today. Instead of focusing on one topic, I'm covering several in a new segment/episode I'm calling "Is It Over Yet?" Of course, I'm referring to the Trump presidency. From Jesus giving you a flu shot, to the "secret society," I cover it all with a bit of humor. Follow me on the Twitter: @MasEspanglish

This is the story of how I left Cuba. I left without my parents when I was 11 years old and was finally able to sponsor my mother when I was 21 years old. She came a year and half later with my brother. We're here thanks to family reunification.

I recorded this just minutes after our president gave a very divisive speech at the State of the Union where he attacked immigrant communities. The full transcript of the speech can be found here: https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/30/politics/2018-state-of-the-union-transcript/index.html NPR: https://www.npr.org/2018/01/30/580378279/trumps-state-of-the-union-address-annotated

A brief biography on Stephen Miller, Trump's racist go to guy, plus I try out my Donald Trump impression at the end and you get to play a game.

A true story of how my friend Julio left the island of Cuba in 1994.
