<p>President Claudia Sheinbaum wants to stop foreign governments from being able to run offensive ads and seeks to revamp Mexico's outdated telecom laws, including making broadband internet more accessible and increasing community access to airwaves, but corporate media, the Mexican opposition and some critics are accusing her government of censorship. Co-hosts José Luis and Kurt discuss the new law before Congress. Plus a look at two good pieces of news: recent numbers that indicate Mexico was the best in the region at reducing poverty and Mexico's economy remains resilient despite global uncertainty. And in Losers and Haters, we challenge Ernesto Zedillo's laughable effort to paint himself as a champion of democracy.</p>

<p>Eager to pursue his campaign goal of the largest deportation operation in US history, Donald Trump has militarized the border, turning over the early-twentieth-century Roosevelt Reservation to the Department of Defense in order to circumvent Posse Comitatus Act and get US troops to take part in the deportation of migrants. Plus, co-hosts José Luis Granados Ceja and Kurt Hackbarth follow up on the fallout from the questionable Ecuadorean election and Mexican President Sheinbaum’s pledge to not restore relations. Also, why is Mexican private media running Trump’s anti-migrant ads in primetime? </p>

<p>These dangerous times call for regional unity, but can Latin America unite against Trump threats? Co-hosts José Luis Granados Ceja and Kurt Hackbarth answer this question as they look at the events of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) summit last week and the threat posed by Ecuador’s Daniel Noboa following the questionable results announced Sunday night declaring him the winner of the presidential race. Plus a look at some controversies from inside Morena that have bubbled up to the surface; and in Loser and Haters we laugh at pseudo journalists once again falling for fake news. </p>
