Attorneys Brian Kabateck(@kabateckllp) and Shant Karnikian(@shant_k) expose Trump's hypocritical attack on Job Corps—the 60-year-old program that has lifted 2 million young Americans out of poverty through trade training. They reveal how Trump praised trade schools while simultaneously ordering the closure of 99 Job Corps centers that serve 25,000 predominantly African American youth annually, providing not just vocational training but housing and meals for those who need it most. The hosts break down federal court victories in New York and DC that blocked Trump's unilateral shutdown, explaining how Congress created and funded this program that produces skilled workers without student debt. They expose the cruel irony of an administration claiming to support trade education while destroying America's most successful workforce training program, creating chaos that forces students and staff to abandon the centers even as courts rule in their favor. A devastating look at how Trump's mean-spirited policies target vulnerable communities while claiming to help working-class Americans.
