E. Martinez 和 Sasha Pfeiffer: 本期节目主要关注三个新闻：台湾总统蔡英文过境美国，数百万美国人可能因医疗补助政策到期而失去医疗保险，以及纳什维尔市为学校枪击案受害者举行悼念活动。
Emily Fang: 台湾总统蔡英文过境美国前往中美洲访问，此举正值台湾面临关键时刻，因为洪都拉斯刚刚转向北京。此行旨在巩固与美国的联系，但同时也面临来自中国的压力。中国政府对蔡英文与美国众议院议长麦卡锡会面表示强烈不满，并威胁采取反制措施。蔡英文则表示外部压力不会影响台湾的决心。
Maria Godoy: 由于疫情期间的医疗补助保护措施即将到期，数百万美国人可能失去医疗保险。重新登记程序将是一个巨大的行政任务，许多人可能因为各种原因错过通知或无法及时完成文书工作，从而失去医疗保险。语言障碍和残疾人士在重新登记过程中面临额外挑战。
Claudia Grisales: 纳什维尔市为学校枪击案受害者举行悼念活动，数百人参加，表达悲伤和愤怒。一些人认为，该国需要更严格的枪支管制法律，但田纳西州近年来却放宽了对武器获取的限制。
