Tell Me You’re Joking

Saint Louis University's Professor Ness Sándoval joined to talk all things Demographics, St. Louis, the Region, and beyond. We compare and contrast what is happening here to cities such as Charlotte, Austin, Orlando, and Minneapolis that are heading in the opposite direction of our beloved St. Louis.

Monday's Suck...

Since when have former KGB officers been our friend?

First off... don't be offended by the title. In today's world everyone claims to understand minority issues based on the fact they have "a black friend." Well... so do I. And he's an ACE! Bam Jones... musician, husband, son, father, producer, friend, and baller, he checks a lot of boxes. We peel the onion back on his interests, his interpretations, his feelings, and his focus. I'll treat this like an album in case you want to skip around:

We all think we know or understand why communities fall into cultural quicksand, or why groups vote for this team or that simply "because." Well... you are probably wrong. It's both more complicated than that, and waaaaay simpler in an odd way.

Jim Hacking started his career in law settling barge disputes on the Mississippi River. Jim and wife Amany now run Hacking Immigration Law,  one of the nation’s preeminent resources for immigrants looking to become citizens. Needless to say, this episode is timely given the election of Donald Trump to a second term and the resulting actions and executive orders associated with our border, labor, citizenship, and foreign dreams. We talk about the reality of what Tom Homan is doing, the failures of both Obama and Biden, and more. With over 100K subscribers on his YouTube channel, Jim continues to educate and entertain in this world that simply looks to provide the American Dream for so many that are viewed as enemies and threats in today’s environment.  Please be sure to subscribe to our show, and let’s go!
