<\/div>\n

We host a wide-ranging discussion of the historic inauguration of President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris \u2014 the first-ever woman, South Asian and Black vice president \u2014 how we got here, and what comes next, with award-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa and author and Harvard professor Cornel West. Hinojosa says she had \u201cmixed emotions\u201d watching the inauguration, her sense of hope tempered by memories of the Obama administration. \u201cWe all had these extraordinary expectations, and then things didn\u2019t turn out that way,\u201d she says. \u201cThe work continues.\u201d West says that while getting Trump out of office was vital, he is still suspicious \u201cof the capitulation to the neoliberal greed and lies and hatred, now that we\u2019ve pushed back the neofascist forms of greed and lies and hatred.\u201d On his first day in office, President Biden ended many of the Trump administration\u2019s anti-immigrant policies. Hinojosa says parts of this agenda are promising, but lack urgency. \u201cIn eight years, there could be a new administration. Everybody knows that,\u201d she says. \u201cDo you understand that if you were to do massive immigration reform right now \u2026 what that would do to boost the American economy across the board?\u201d<\/p>\n
