Today on Sojourner Truth:

The U.S. government remains shut down over Donald Trumps border wall. Last night, Trump, in a prime time nationally-televised address, used racism, fear, divisiveness and lies to make his case for a wall between the U.S. and Mexico. The Democrats are saying Trumps war is immoral. But what is the reality? What is happening to migrants at the border? What is the explanation for the deaths of two migrant children, with the latest taking place on Christmas Eve? Our guest is Mexico-based journalist and writer Jose Luis Granados Ceja.

And for our weekly Campaigners for Black Lives segment, we speak with Taz of Nashville Black Lives Matter. We discuss the case of Cyntoia Brown, who was given clemency for killing a man who had bought her for sex. Cyntoia was forced into prostitution by a pimp.

And Harold Meyerson, editor of The American Prospect, joins us on California's new governor, Gavin Newsom.
