    Episode 35 - Is the criminal justice system made for the wealthy?

    On this episode of Vital Questions, Che Guerrero and La Co-Host sit down with Millie, a career public defender in Queens and Manhattan, to ask a difficult but necessary question: Is the criminal justice system made for the wealthy? We begin with the recent release of millions of additional Epstein files — and the outrage over redactions, prosecutorial discretion, and the lack of accountability for powerful figures. While poor and undocumented communities are aggressively policed, detained, and deported, many wealthy individuals tied to financial crimes and abuse scandals seem insulated from consequences. If justice depends on your bank account, is it really justice? This episode connects the dots between wealth, power, prosecution priorities, and who actually faces consequences in America. 🔗 Follow & support Che Guerrero: • Website / hub: https://www.cheguerrero.com/ • Linktree (all platforms): https://linktr.ee/Cheguerrero • TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cheguerreroeng • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cheguerreroeng/ • Substack: https://substack.com/@cheguerreroeng • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CheGuerreroeng #VitalQuestions #CriminalJustice #EpsteinFiles #PublicDefender #WhiteCollarCrime #MassIncarceration #CourtReform #ImmigrationJustice #CheGuerrero

    Ep. 34- Why are the wealthy able to fund elections? ( W/ Tiffany Muller, President of ECU)

    On this episode of Vital Questions, Che Guerrero and La Co-Host speak with Tiffany Muller, President of End Citizens United, about why the wealthy are able to fund elections — and how the Citizens United Supreme Court decision opened the floodgates for Super PACs, dark money, and billionaire control of U.S. politics. We break down how corporations were granted First Amendment “speech” rights, why transparency failed, how Big Oil and Big Tech became early beneficiaries, and what the 2024 election revealed about corruption, deregulation, and power.  Most importantly, we talk about solutions — including how candidates can win without corporate PAC money through initiatives like Unrig Washington. If you’ve ever asked “how is this legal?” — this episode answers that, and what we can actually do about it.

    Ep. 33 - What can I do about what’s happening?

    On this episode of Vital Questions, we’re asking the question so many people are struggling with right now: what can I do about what’s happening? Since our last episode, we’ve witnessed more devastating and undeniable examples of state violence — from children detained by ICE, to families torn apart, to people killed in the streets. These are not abstract policy debates. These are real lives, real harm, and real consequences. In Episode 33, we break down what’s been happening — including the detention of 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father, the separation of 2-year-old Chloe Renata Tipan Villacis from her dad, and the killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis — and talk honestly about the fear, anger, and helplessness many of us are feeling. But this episode isn’t just about naming the harm. It’s about action. We walk through real, accessible ways people can help — even if protesting isn’t an option for you. From calling your representatives, donating money or time, supporting immigrant defense organizations, learning your rights, documenting abuses, boycotting corporations that profit from ICE, voting locally, and using your own skills to support your community. This episode is about community pressure, accountability, and joyful resistance — because authoritarianism depends on silence and isolation, and we refuse both. ⚠️ Disclaimer: Although La-CoHost is a lawyer, everything shared in this episode (and ALL EPISODES for that matter unless otherwise stated) is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be considered legal advice.

    Ep 32 - At least we have our health… or do we?

    On this episode of Vital Questions, Che Guerrero and La Co-Host talk about what happens when “at least we have our health” is no longer a guarantee. From the looming fight over Affordable Care Act subsidies to a brutal job market that’s leaving millions without employer-based insurance, this episode breaks down how federal policy is directly shaping who gets care — and who doesn’t. We dig into preventable deaths caused by skyrocketing prescription drug prices, the resurgence of diseases like the flu, norovirus, and measles, and why vaccine skepticism at the highest levels of government is putting kids, elders, and immunocompromised people at risk. The conversation also takes on major changes inside the CDC and HHS, RFK Jr.’s role in reshaping vaccine recommendations, the chilling effect of political interference in public health research, and why trust in health institutions is collapsing in real time. Then we turn to what’s on your plate — literally — unpacking the new upside-down food pyramid, industry influence on dietary guidelines, the rollback of alcohol consumption limits, and how corporate interests are quietly overriding decades of medical research. This episode connects the dots between capitalism, politics, public health, and everyday survival — with facts, receipts, and the humor needed to process just how wild things are right now.  Follow & Find More ContentWebsite: https://www.cheguerrero.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cheguerreroeng/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cheguerreroeng  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CheGuerreroeng Substack / Writing: https://substack.com/@cheguerreroeng  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/miguel.dalmau.3/ #VitalQuestions #CheGuerrero #PublicHealth #HealthcareCrisis #ACA #BigPharma #CDC #HHS #VaccinePolicy #FoodPolitics #HealthEquity #MedicalMisinformation

    Ep. 31 - Why did Trump Send Troops to Venezuela?

    On this episode of Vital Questions, Che Guerrero and La Co-host ask: Why did Trump send troops to Venezuela? Because once you pull on that thread, it’s not just about Maduro. It’s about who gets sovereignty and who doesn’t. Why Europe is loud about protecting Greenland but quiet when it comes to Latin America. How narratives are built before intervention. How oil, geopolitics, and power shape “law enforcement” operations. And why the consequences won’t stop at Venezuela — they ripple through Puerto Rico, the U.S., and the rest of the world. This episode breaks down what happened, what laws may have been violated, and what history tells us comes next. 🎧 Watch or listen to Vital Questions 📢 Share this and tag your friends with your thoughts.

Behind the viral clips, gaudy spectacle, and celebrity moments is a well-funded political machine targeting young people through high schools, colleges, and Christian nationalism.

    On this episode of Vital Questions, Che and la co host break down the stories we did not have time to fully report on but could not ignore.

We dig into power, smear campaigns, corporate money, AI infrastructure, culture wars, and why aligning with Trumpism increasingly comes with a measurable cost politically culturally and financially.
