#10 Latinos create new businesses and hire at a faster rate than all Americans. | Latino News Podcast Jun 18, 2022

Show notes

Trump is not a self-made business person, neither is Elon Musk. In fact, many business people succeed only because they have more access to capital than the rest of us. There is a way though, to beat those odds and according to the most recent studies by the Stanford University on Entrepreneurship, Latinos are doing just that. Latinos are creating businesses at a faster rate and hiring workers at a faster rate than all other Americans. How are they doing that while continually receiving the scorn of the political and news media leaders? Beatriz Acevedo takes you through this phenomenon. She is the co-founder and CEO of Suma Wealth, a company that helps startup businesses raise capital.

#9 Here's How to Fix the Supply Chain and Avert a Recession | Current Political News Jun 16, 2022

Show notes

Employers cannot find workers. The supply chain seems permanently disrupted. Inflation is causing the Federal Reserve to raise rates so fast it is bound to affect both Wall Street and Main Street. But it does not have to be that way—not when America has a ready, willing and proven workforce that can reverse almost all of our economic woes.

America’s Latino workforce saved towns like Dalton, Georgia and restored the nation’s manufacturing prestige. Now it is time to show once again why American Latinos, according to the Stanford study on Entrepreneurship, start new businesses and hire workers at a faster rate than all other groups. So, why do we want to stop them from doing so?

Our latest political podcast deals with these topics and why American Latinos could be a salvation of our current economic climate.

#8 Myths and Lies about Latinos in America | Political News Commentary. Jun 10, 2022

Show notes

Latinos in America are blamed for not paying taxes, for voting illegally, for crime, for rape, for not assimilating, for not speaking English, and for a host of other conveniently unchallenged myths. Those myths serve to guarantee certain right-wing media outlets, radio shows, and politicians a large audience of uninformed followers. That is why Fox News primetime, OAN, Newsmax, and the Ben Shapiro and Alex Jones political podcasts exist. But what happens when we apply facts and research to those convenient myths? The CATO Institute did just that by taking each myth and putting it to the test. Alex Nowrasteh explains what they found—is it true or not true?

#7 Children Killed. Trump Dances. NRA Gives and Ted Cruz Takes. Jun 02, 2022

Show notes

Uvalde Texas police failed to take on the gunman, while Senator Ted Cruz, who gets more money from the gun lobby than all Senators, insists all we need is ”more police.” At the same time, Donald Trump appeared at the NRA convention and danced on stage, which is just the latest in offensive displays aimed at Latinos by the former president. In 2017, after Hurricane Maria, Mr. Trump practiced his basketball skills with paper towels as he threw them at Puerto Rican victims. And Trump announced his candidacy with “they’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists” when referring to Latinos who cross the border. Will there be a Latino or media backlash?

#6 Media Says White Ukrainians Matter More! May 31, 2022

Show notes

Notice how the reporting on Ukraine has been so over bearing on caring. Do people suffering in other countries matter less than those in Ukraine? The media seems to think that lives in Ukraine seem to matter more.

#5 Why Do Police Shoot Blacks and Latinos More—Training? May 27, 2022

Show notes

A true story of trying to use the police to "de-escalate" a family situation. The police don't seem to want to understand the situation with the Latino family, and the video is a commentary on how aggressive policing affects our minorities.

#2 How Hollywood Stereotypes Latinas and Latinos May 17, 2022

#1 CNN has a Latino Problem May 16, 2022

Show notes

In what will go down as a historic business failure, CNN recently blundered in attempting to launch its streaming media product CNN+, but it’s not what you think it is. Media reports reported it superficially as an example of bad talent, content, and messaging. But to millions of Americans, CNN’s misstep was much more glaring—even stupid. It failed to target or even mention Latinos in its network rollout. Why is that such a stupendous mistake? Math—basic math and a changing America that CNN has apparently not caught up with. There is a lesson here for all US businesses. What is it? Listen!
