Show Notes

James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana consider whether the apparent trafficking of migrants from southern states to northern cities is more of a request for assistance or an effort by some to stick it to their countrymen and discuss how immigrant issues have always had a big influence on American politics (01:35).  The guys also take a look at the NBA’s report on the misdeeds of the controlling owner of the Phoenix Suns and their approach to discipline someone who is a franchise owner as opposed to an employee (46:22).
