First Of All with Victor Blackwell

Planning for the Future in This Economy; Mahmoud Khalil's Legal Team Reacts to Judge's Ruling

Listen Later

A new survey of how consumers feel about the economy confirms: the vibes are off. And we know the impact is disproportionately felt by people of color, trying to save for the future and retirement. Victor asks entrepreneur John Hope Bryant if he sees a way forward.

 

An immigration judge in Louisiana says pro-Palestinian student activist Mahmoud Khalil can be deported. Members of Khalil’s legal team, Baher Azmy and Ramzi Kassem, tell Victor what the decision means for Khalil and the other students facing deportation for their activism.

 

Victor also shares the devastating case of Victor Perez. The 17-year-old with autism was shot multiple times by police in Idaho. He was seen with a knife, but the family – and even the original 911 caller – say officers totally botched their response. CNN Senior Law Enforcement Analyst Charles Ramsey shares his analysis.

 

Plus, the National Indian Health Board wants to meet with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to discuss cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services, which dropped just as National Minority Health Month got underway. Victor speaks with their CEO, A.C. Locklear.

 

And later, Augusta has a new monument to the Black caddies of The Masters. Victor explores their overlooked legacy and the tribute with artist Baruti Tucker in this week’s “Art is Life”.
