  • Episode 10: Denny Salas
    We sit down with Democratic County Committee Representative, Denny Salas this week. This is a full roundtable show. We open the show discussing last weeks events centering on the group of freshman congresswomen known as “The Squad” and their clashing with Speaker Pelosi, a divide that Trump tried to widen with his racist “go back” tweets, which backfired on him, but the party divide still remains heading towards 2020. Next we tap into Education reform in America. A very large and complex topic which Denny’s experience working for a charter school in the Bronx, helps to shed some light on how we can make sure we are seeing better results in our schools, while also preparing the youth of this country for the jobs and industries of the future. Education roundtable starts @ 46:46 - Social @realdennysalas
