Topic: Mexican American

A viral moment involving former Miss Wisconsin Melissa Young thanking Donald Trump at a rally is analyzed as a potential "plant." Young, who is terminally ill, thanked Trump for a letter he sent her and for his organization's support of her Mexican-American son's education. The hosts note that the story hits multiple political "trifectas" for Trump but received little mainstream media coverage.

The hosts debate the origin of the word "gringo," debunking a popular myth that it originated from Mexicans shouting "Green go home" at U.S. soldiers. Research suggests the U.S. Army wore blue uniforms during the 1840s, and the term likely derives from an old Spanish slang word for "Greek" used to describe anyone who did not speak Spanish.
