Our weekly Thursday feature State of the States has returned! Jason Leopold has finished up with us, but we have some exciting new correspondents we'll be working with from WNYU News, which is the news department of New York University's radio station. This week, we hear from their news director Jacob Goldfisher, who spoke to our news director Ximena earlier today.
Ximena speaks to Jason this week about the turbulent year the US has had in politics, and about what terrifying things are still to come as we ring in the new year.
We don’t have Jason this week because he’s currently in Guantanamo Bay, but we do have a guest with us for State of the States today - Ximena speaks to Stephen Hoadley from the University of Auckland about the United State's interesting (and increasingly concerning) relationship with Russia, now that Trump is soon-to-be at the helm.
This week, Ximena speaks to Jason about how the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline has come to a standstill (for now), and also about some of the concerning cabinet appointments president elect Donald Trump has made so far.
This week, Ximena speaks to Jason about the Standing Rock protests happening in North Dakota, and also about the US election recount process happening at the moment.
This week, Ximena speaks to Jason about the fallout from last week’s election result. They discuss what a Trump administration might look like; how much Trump can actually do as president; and also whether Clinton's blame on FBI Director James Comey for her election failures is warranted or not.
