Welcome to another episode of the Highly Relevant podcast with Jack Rico. It’s a new day. The new United States of America and happy pop culture escapism are taking a back seat in this episode. I want to use this forum to talk about the reality of a Donald Trump Presidency.

The Impact Of A Donald Trump Presidency

People are upset. Half of America is protesting in the streets across the nation and there’s this feeling of hopelessness that has seeped into half of the country. The only way to get passed this is by opening the right channels of conversation, by asking direct, but honest questions that you won’t hear from particular news networks. Think of this platform as an alternative voice to legacy media, a place where YOUR voice does matter, especially right now.

In today’s episode, we are speaking to a wide array of people such as Glenn Albright (11:26) a clinical psychologist about the malaise that many people are feeling at this moment. What is it and how do we recover from it?

I also chat with reporter Alex Emmons (21:30) from the news website The Intercept about his article THE NIGHTMARE PRESIDENT – how bad does he think America will be under Trump?

I then chat with Debbye Turner Bell (28:10), an African-American journalist and mother about her view of the media right now and what she’s telling her children about this new future.

And finally, I interview Jessica Reyes, a Latina Trump Supporter (2:38), whose answers will make you rethink the “so-called unity” of Latinos in the United States today.
