We look at Bernie Sanders’ and Hillary Clinton’s proposals–how much do they plan on spending and how much taxing if elected? Then in the second half, an omnibus bill just passed in Congress. It includes provisions about visa waivers for people who have traveled to the Middle East which some organizations are labeling discriminatory. Last, we’ll talk about the recent wave of Islamophobia in America and what some Muslim organizations are doing about it.
Guests:
