This hour, Newell speaks with Kornelius Bankston, a managing partner at TechPlug, about how his organization addresses health inequities in our communities. Then, Todd Bensman, Senior National Security Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), joins the show to discuss the short-lived disagreement between President Trump and Colombian President Petro over the transport of deported migrants.

President Trump will hold off on imposing steep tariffs on Colombia after the country's government agreed to accept deported migrants being returned on military planes, the White House said Sunday night. Mr. Trump earlier on Sunday vowed swift and punishing retaliation after the Colombian government over the weekend blocked the arrival of deportation flights from the U.S., objecting to the Trump administration's efforts to use military planes to deport migrants. Todd Bensman, Senior National Security Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), joins Newell to discuss the situation.
