The Money That Helped Sow the Seeds of President Trump’s Immigration Agenda
Guest: Nicholas Kulish, Investigative Reporter, New York Times, “The New Nativists” Series
Restricting both legal and illegal immigration to the United States has become a hallmark of the Trump Administration’s policies–and will be central to the President’s re-election campaign. In a New York Times series called “The New Nativists” reporter Nicholas Kulish is investigating the links between a handful of nonprofit organizations and wealthy donors who have helped sow the seeds of President Trump’s immigration agenda.

Guest: Ameya Kulkarni MD, Cardiologist with Mid Atlantic Permanente Medical Group

Baseball Card Collection is America’s Profitable Pastime
Guest: Michael Osacky, President of Baseball in the Attic
They’re still making baseball cards in 2019. That kind of surprises me, actually. But here’s a bit of news from the last few weeks that’s even more surprising –a signed baseball card for a White Sox prospect named Luis Robert sold at auction for $51,000. What makes this so incredible is that Robert doesn’t even play for the White Sox yet, instead he’s a 22-year-old recruit who hasn’t even batted in a major league game. Many people wonder about why baseball cards sell for so much money if they’re just a piece of paper with a picture on it and maybe an autograph. More importantly, if that card sold for $51,000, who’s to say that your grandparents’ box of Cracker Jack Cards won’t sell for more?
