We live in a nation increasingly divided on racial, ethnic, and political lines. Much of the leading media of our day focuses on the agendas that drive these divisions, but little is said about the phenomena itself, or the underlying social justice issues.

Brian Dunn, a leading Civil Rights attorney and the managing partner of The Cochran Firm in California, explores these issues each week with Producer Jim Oates, and various other guests from the legal and business communities. Brian is one of the most successful civil plaintiff attorneys in California in the field of police misconduct and use of deadly force by police. A Nation Divided focuses not only on the reality of the division between law enforcement and the public, but on the deeper divisions in our society. Only on 790 KABC Radio.

Brian Dunn & Producer Jim Oates

Whether we like it or not, the US census is something that legally HAS to happen every 10 years, and we are about at that time again. Today we will discuss an important debate on this topic… What, in the eyes of the census, is a person?? Should the census ask whether or not a person is an American citizen? Should illegal immigrants be counted as a person on this form?

One of the most cutting edge issues our nation is currently facing is the debate of transgender associations. This topic is something that has not always been so openly discussed-- Possibly because it was social taboo, possibly because it was simply an uncomfortable topic for many. Today we will discuss and hear from listeners on an extremely debated question... Should the concept of sexual orientation and identification be a constitutional right??

As shocking as it may seem, there is a chronic housing shortage in the state of California. Because of this problem, even though the general rate of homelessness has gone down by 2-4%, it has gone UP by about 16% in this state alone. Today Jim and Brian will discuss this problem and the confusion that comes with the idea that California is such a smart state, yet the number one cause of homelessness is the state failure to produce low income housing.
