Nov. 21, 2025, 5:00 AM ESTBy Sahil KapurLAS VEGAS — Matt Payan, who co-owns and operates a rare Hispanic-owned brewery in Nevada, said it was a “very slow, scary summer” for the economy in this city.“As the summer is slowly fading, business is slowly picking up, though, but not as much as we were anticipating compared to last year’s numbers,” he said.Payan said his business avoids politics in the taproom of his North 5th Street Brewing Co. But he said they feel the financial strain of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, which have forced the company to scale back canning its own beers, making it harder to distribute the product.“The canning prices went up so high, we can’t keep up with that cost. So unfortunately, we can’t can as much as we really should to keep up with demand,” Payan said, while hoping the tariffs can be reversed to make the finances more manageable.“The cost of living has been a real toll on all of us, including our employees as well. As demand and cost gets higher, our employees need to make more money in order to just survive,” he added. “Also, the average patron that comes in is now dealing with higher cost of living, which mean our regulars tend to shy away, because now they have to save and use their resources for other important needs.”Concerns about the economy and the cost of living and shifts among Latino voters powered Trump to victory in 2024 in Nevada, which flipped to the GOP in a presidential election for the first time in two decades.The economy topped the list of Nevada voter concerns, and those who cited it as the issue that mattered most backed Trump over Kamala Harris by a 3-to-1 margin, according to NBC News exit polls. Latinos, who made up about one-fifth of voters, voted for Trump by 2 points over Harris after Joe Biden carried the group by 26 points in 2020.These dynamics paid dividends for Trump in other battleground states across the country as well, helping him retake the White House.One year later, there are warning signs that Latino voters are souring on the GOP. In two blue-leaning states, Virginia and New Jersey, they voted overwhelmingly for Democratic candidates for governor earlier this month. And recent polling finds deep economic concerns persist among Latino voters in battleground districts ahead of next year’s midterm elections, when control of the House is at stake.The bipartisan Unidos U.S. Latino Vote Initiative poll found that the cost of living and inflation remains by far the top issue for Hispanic voters in battleground districts across six key states. Among these voters, 31% approved of Trump’s job performance while 64% disapproved. And 83% said their current personal financial situation is either “about the same” or “worse,” while 14% said it is “better.”Democrats argue Trump is paying a price for overpromising that he would bring down costs on Day 1 of his presidency.“I think that many voters who trusted in what the president said when he was campaigning feel betrayed by his policies,” said Rep. Steven Horsford, D-Nev., who represents a swing district in the Las Vegas area. “He promised that costs would come down. They’re going up. He said that life would be easier. It’s harder.”Jeff Burton, a lobbyist and longtime strategist for Republican leaders, said Trump and the GOP-controlled Congress have until the end of the first quarter of 2026 to bring prices down.“The American people expected inflation to go down, and costs to go down — and they haven’t,” he said. “If they don’t, then it’s really going to affect the midterms. It’s the No. 1 issue. And the [House] majority is at stake.”Burton said the Treasury Department ought to quickly implement Trump’s “no tax on tips” policy that was included in his so-called “big, beautiful bill” earlier this year, and the president’s team needs to show that it’s delivering. The idea, which Trump embraced in his 2024 campaign, caught Democrats by surprise, and they have since backed versions of it.“The cost of goods, and inflation, is going to determine who’s in the majority next year. Everything else is around the edges,” Burton said, warning that immigration has fizzled as an electoral issue for Republicans and that New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani won’t be the “national super boogeyman that Republicans want” in 2026.Other Republicans counter that the voter shifts in Nevada have been gradual and that the state has moved further toward the GOP overall in every presidential election since 2008. A National Republican Congressional Committee spokesperson said its candidates will continue to work to win over Latinos, who could swing crucial House races across the country.“Democrats have ignored Hispanic communities for over a decade while millions of families rejected their radical, socialist agenda. Republicans are working relentlessly to earn Hispanic support by delivering on No Tax on Tips, lowering everyday costs, and protecting the opportunity to achieve the American dream,” NRCC Hispanic press secretary Christian Martinez said in an email.Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., who held her own with Latinos and won re-election in 2024 on the same ballot as Trump, said there’s also a backlash in the community to the president’s aggressive immigration raids.“What I’m hearing from them now is always the same thing: affordability and opportunity, plus what’s happening on immigration — the cruelty, the fear that has spread within the community,” Rosen said in an interview. She added that the one-two punch of tariffs and immigration policies has brought tourism down and is “hurting everyone.”Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., who would face re-election in 2028, said Trump has “done just the opposite” of what he promised in terms of bringing down costs.“You can’t tell people what they’re seeing and feeling at the grocery store is a hoax,” she said.Peter Guzman, the president of Nevada’s Latin Chamber of Commerce, said that overall his member companies feel that the economic situation is about “the same” as it was last year. Concerns linger about prices — fueled by high gas prices and high interest rates — as well as slowing tourism.“Inflation’s got to come down,” he said. “Cost of goods and services — we rely heavily on construction here, and if it costs too much … then we’re not going to have construction and that’s going to have devastating effects on the rest of the economy.”Guzman added that there are some immigration-related concerns in the hospitality industry. “There’s a little bit of a concern with my smaller restaurant owners because they’re seeing less people in the restaurants and more in grocery stories,” he said. “And that could be because of immigration fears.”Guzman said Trump could use his bully pulpit to push the Federal Reserve to keep lowering interest rates. He praised the tax break for tips, saying it should be bigger than the $25,000 deduction under the law — perhaps even unlimited. Workers can deduct up to that amount if they itemize and don’t use the standard deduction.Ted Pappageorge, the secretary treasurer of the influential Culinary Union, which represents hospitality workers who power the Las Vegas economy, said the “concerns about the economy have gotten worse” since Trump took office.“They were real [in 2024], and as I told you last year, Democrats unfortunately were somewhat tone-deaf, and it cost them the election, at least nationally and at the top of the ticket” he said. “The Trump slump is here and happening. The same bad move Biden made with trying to tell people the economy is good — Trump’s doing the same thing.”Still, Pappageorge said he’s dissatisfied with national Democrats and that the party has more work to do to show Nevada voters they’re serious about addressing the costs of housing, health care, groceries and car insurance.“What we’re seeing now is the rebirth of ‘The Great Gatsby’ and the Gilded Age,” Pappageorge said. “The question is: Are the Democrats going to step up to the plate in a clear, coherent message that they’re with us?”Sahil KapurSahil Kapur is a senior national political reporter for NBC News.

Nov. 21, 2025, 6:22 PM ESTBy Austin MullenWhat does the U.S. government know about “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAPs), aliens and an alleged global alien technology arms race?A brand-new documentary claims to have an answer: more than it’s telling the public.On Tuesday, filmmaker Dan Farah and a group of the film’s subjects screened “The Age of Disclosure” at New York City’s Intrepid Museum aboard the decommissioned USS Intrepid aircraft carrier.The documentary is described by its filmmakers as a look at “an 80-year global cover-up of non-human intelligent life and a secret war among major nations to reverse engineer advanced technology of non-human origin.” It features interviews with more than 30 “U.S. government, military and intelligence community insiders.”“This is one of the most important documentaries ever made,” Jay Stratton, a former director of the covert Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, said at the screening, where a number of stars, including “Karate Kid” and “Cobra Kai” star Ralph Macchio and actor Adrian Martinez, were in attendance.“It will make a huge impact on humanity,” added Stratton, who is featured in the film.A screening of “The Age of Disclosure” at New York City’s Intrepid Museum on Tuesday.Austin Mullen / NBC NewsThe film, which first premiered at the SXSW Film Festival in March, makes its case through a combination of video evidence taken from various military cameras and firsthand accounts from members of the intelligence community who detail declassified events they claim to have witnessed during their time in military service while either on the ground or flying aircraft.“These are otherworldly things that are performing maneuvers that haven’t been seen,” U.S. Rep. André Carson, D-Ind., says in the documentary.Large shapes the size of football fields floating in midair above U.S. nuclear missile sites and aircraft able to travel over 30,000 mph are just a few of the UAPs — a term that the government now favors over the older term “UFOs” — described in their accounts.From left, David Fravor, Dan Farah and Ryan Graves attend “The Age of Disclosure” New York premiere on Tuesday.Dia Dipasupil / Getty ImagesWhile the UAPs they describe often differed in size, shape and movement, they all had one thing in common: The U.S. government had no explanation for what they were or where they were from — or at least not publicly.The film also alleges the existence of an ongoing arms race between the U.S., Russia and China, set off by the discovery of supposed crashed UAPs, with each nation hoping to be the first to crack into alien technology to reverse-engineer it for human use.In the documentary, Secretary of State Marco Rubio says there is a bipartisan effort to push for the declassification of government intelligence related to UAPs. “It’s just not an issue, at least as of yet, in this country, that lends itself to some sort of partisan or ideological divide,” he says in the film.Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., and Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., have also called for learning more about the government’s investigation into UAPs.Earlier this year, Burchett introduced the UAP Transparency Act, which aims to require “the President to direct each federal agency to declassify all agency records related to UAP and make such records available on a public website of the agency.”“We’ve been fighting this battle, some of y’all, for 30 years, and maybe longer,” Burchett said during a House Oversight Committee hearing in September. “The government has something, and they need to turn it over to us.”At the screening, where some attendees wore alien-themed outfits, Stratton stressed the importance of the documentary’s serious tone, noting the decades of skepticism and public stigma faced by people who speak out about their experiences with UAPs.Retired Navy Cmdr. David Fravor, whose military aircraft captured video, featured in the film, of his own purported UAP encounter, told the crowd that it takes “a lot of guts” for people to come forward on the record about their experiences.“Some people claim it would cost them their lives if they spoke out about these things,” Rubio says in the film.Due to these safety concerns, Burchett said he also introduced the UAP Whistleblower Protection Act “to provide whistleblower protections to Federal personnel for disclosing the use of Federal taxpayer funds to evaluate or research unidentified anomalous phenomenon material.”Farah, who spent three years making “The Age of Disclosure,” said he hopes the film leads to a national conversation that “puts pressure on the executive branch to reveal the truth” about UAPs and aliens.“Reach out to your elected representatives,” Stratton also said.On Friday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences named “The Age of Disclosure” among the 201 documentaries eligible for Oscar consideration.It’s now available to rent or buy on Amazon’s Prime Video and is showing in select theaters.Austin Mullen
