the st. louis post-dispatch, with a story about the change in the prosecutor, wesley bell ime st. louis county elected prosecutor robert mccullough. upset by a ferguson councilmen promising to reform the kernel justice system, earning 57 -- criminal justice system, earning 57% of the vote. did that surprise you? guest: yes and no. given what's happening, local and national elections the last 24 months, i would say very little surprise on the electoral front. he ran against the incumbent, was also a city councilman, but also heavily organizing in the community. not really a political figure, but one who was a community activist. he did the organic sort of work, the grassroots work that elections require. so it does not surprise me that much. host: there has been a real of fergusonhe area in terms of tourism, etc. how about the community itself? how's it doing? guest: the community is still sort of struggling, and so if you look at the numbers in terms of rates of unemployment, median wages, of ferguson and the st. louis region. the high school graduation rates. they remained fairly

st. louis. st. louis, like philadelphia was a place within urban center. in 1800, st. louis was the home of about 2000 people. its numbers took off. then expanded even more during the immigration -- as a rate s as a -- as a result of -- st. louis would become crucial stopping off point where they outfitted themselves, there was a manufacturing base there that would produce materials that they would take with them. these developments i have talked about will set the stage for what follows. as i said manny alderson was at the vanguard in the rockies and southwest. likewise, in urban centers like philadelphia and st. louis, it's manufacturing economy will become an industrial economy. this combination of widespread migration, early industrialization, and then a whole new wave of immigration in the 1880s and 1890s, will further transform the way americans think about their country. this new wave of immigration which i will talk about next week, won't just come across the atlantic. it will come across the pacific or the rio grande. the last thing i want to do is finish up th

in 1876, the city of st. louis separated from st. st. louis c. the city separated from the county because city leaders thought the county was going to be a drag on the city. for those of you who know st. louis, you know how things have changed. but that's because they thought the future was in the city. that's a moment we'll return to later, and it's a change that would have far-reaching consequences for st. louis. another change that would have far-reaching consequences was that at the same time the brewery first established by george snider, acquired by eberhart anheiser and later run by him and his son-in-law, adolphus busch start producing a new beer. what do they call it? and you better know it if you live in st. louis. you said budweiser. are you from st. louis? thank goodness. they start producing budweiser, so i get to close lecture today by talking about beer but also saying that for busch and anheuser, this is their american dream. this is the way that immigration and naturalization create the foundation for their opportunities. in an e

finally, let's come to the confluence region, st. louis. st. louis, like philadelphia was an urban center. in 1800 st. louis was the home of about 2000 people. its numbers took off during the 1820s and 1830s and expanded even more as a result of the immigration waves of the 1840s and 1850s and as white settlers moved farther west st. louis would become crucial for stopping off point where they outfitted themselves. there was a manufacturing base that would produce materials that they would take with them. these developments i talked about will set the stage for what follows. as i said nannie alderson was at the vanguard of a wave of settlements, the great plains, the rockies and the southwest. likewise, in urban centers like philadelphia and st. louis, the manufacturing economy will become an industrial economy. this combination of widespread migration, early industrialization and a whole new wave of immigration in the 1880s and 1890s will further transform the way americans think about their country. this new wave of immigration which i will ta

what are your thoughts on that community, the broader st. louis community in terms of race relations, where these things stand four years hence? guest: sure. thanks for having me this morning, although i wish it would be under happier events. so, as you mentioned, the ferguson shooting, killing of michael brown happened four years ago. he's part of a larger sort of context, i think. as the doj reported in 2015, noted, law enforcement in ferguson, also in greater st. louis, in the st. louis suburbs, see designed, trying to citizens as targets of extraction. so what happened with the michael brown case, with his shooting, was part of that broader context in which law enforcement

traveling, probably some issues from around chicago to st. louis. they don't show anything yet. st. louis has some good thunderstorm activity. heading to the northeast it is hot and humid. you can see chicago to st. louis is the mainline. already 81 in new york city. the heat index is around 104 which means temperatures and humidity's combined are sticky. if you want u.s. open you can tell they're struggling. we do have a pattern that looks like it will bump up a little bit. no big changes into thursday. looking warmer inland. temperatures near average. there is about 85 or 86 or 87 for some. it has been about 76 or 77 for others. there are signs out to the eighth or ninth of a low pressure still hanging out on the west coast. 66 - 80. not as many low clouds this morning. temperatures yesterday work will. kim filled was 67. santa rosa was 72. morgan hill 73. that's amazingly cool. same for concorde and livermore. for the end of august we know if you live in any of those locations that is really cool.. probably on friday. nothing over average . the just getting back to average as we h

and in another missouri race, ferguson city council member wesley bell unseated st. louis county prosecuting attorney robert mcculloch who was widely criticized for his handling of the police shooting of michael brown in 2014. to talk more about tuesday's results and what they mean for the midterms in november, we are joined by two guests. in washington, d d.c., zaid lali is a staff reporter at the intetercept. anand in madison, wisconsin, is john nichols, political writer for the nation. we welcome you both to democracy now! begin with, let's you. talk about the significance of these races. which were you watching most closely? >> we had also reported from

time tomorrow, the 100th us pga championship will be well underway at bellerive country club near st louis in missouri, withjustin thomas defending the title he won at quail hollow last year. thomas is in good form too having won the wgc bridgestone invitational in ohio last weekend, to move up to number two in the world. but, in the 60 years since the pga championship became a stroke—play event, only tiger woods has retained the title, which he managed twice. so history could be against thomas winning again. it's a great opportunity, but the

jessica st. louis is the woman koo we're talking about, released from alameda county's santa rita jail july 28th, at 1:30. four hours later the 26 berkeley mother was found dead at the dublin b.a.r.t. station. the coroner ruled out foul play. her death could be drug related. st. louis only had a b.a.r.t. pass at the time and skinner also wants to make sure inmates get more assistance to get home safely. now the spokeswoman for the alameda county sheriff's office says they've offered to meet with the senator to work on solutions but that, quote, this unfortunate death is about mental health, addiction, and the tremendous amount of drugs in our communities. the proposal to ban night releases for women is illegal and discriminatory. now, here's what we know about the agenda for tonight. we're told we're hear first from st. louis' mother followed by senator skinner then the group will walk to the dublin b.a.r.t. station. that's anywhere from a mile to two miles away from here. that is where, of course, she

wesley bell now joins me from st. louis. thank you very much, congratulation s on your victor. what is the larger meaning of you inhabiting this place, instead of a career prosecutor? >> well, we ran on a campaign that was predicated on bringing people together, inclusion, making sure that everyone had a voi voice. i think that resonated in addition to the issues and ideas that we also ran on. i think it represents an acknowledgement that there is a need for criminal justice reform. there's a need to address issues like mass incarceration. but there's a lot of divisiveness not only in the region but around the country. and that's why i think it's so important for us to strike that tone of bringing people together and working together if we're going to really solve the issues and problems that we face. >> four years ago, the whole nation was absolutely gripped by the emotions and by the frightening results of the anger that the community felt and the police response. who knew that local police departments had this kind of brute force, well beyond what the national guard would ev

st. louis' foster mother was at the rally. she said her daughter had no cell phone. >> well, i'm sorry jessica did not have a cell phone because had she had a cell phone at 1:30 a.m. in the morningsing, she would have called her parents. >> the sheriff's office says st. louis' death was an isolated case, and that stopping releases for part of the day would be against the law. >> we shut down release operationser for continuous periods of time, we would be holding people over incarceration times, and then we would get sued because it would be illegal detentions of people. >> abc 7 news has learned tonight that state senator nancy skinner is considering proposing legislation that would stop night releases of prisoners at santa rita jail. vic lee, abc 7 news. >>> the suspect in a double stabbing at the macarthur bart station friday night has been arrested. 27-year-old solomon espinosa was taken into custody earlier this afternoon. he was wanted in connection with an attack that happened on a richmond bound bart train. one of the

commerce would've come from st. louis to santa fe then down the .amino real avoid mexico -- all the way to mexico. standing on the piece of the camino real. the marker says from this spot to mexico citys and 283 miles to santa fe. as a stand here you can imagine literally thousands of people , everything that came from the spanish world into this country came along this .oad for example people who live in new mexico and have been here for many generations, as sort of fascinating they can stand on this ground where their ancestors walked. this is for part of the story and in terms of the sweep of history, this location is probably more significant for as important in the history of trying to preserve this place i guess there was an attempt to say who was really .ruly famous that was here often times that is used as some sort of rationale. it turns out that in his memoirs , general douglas macarthur young hishen he was herer, arthur mcarthur was and this building is where the .acarthur's lived they came in december 1883. ma

i've never been in the original "spirit of st. louis" because it is hanging in the museum but and my good friend would not take it down for me. however, i was in two flyable replicas which was an experience in oshkosh and another one in new york. i can tell you that even a single seat fighter that i flew in, which i thought was small, was pretty spacious compared to this thing. it was very basic. wicker seat, exposed pedals, you can see the cables every time you move the stick or move the rudders you can see the cables move. i think that would be little disconcerting as a pilot. so he is sitting in this thing. it is not really cold but it is wet, raining, misty. anyone that has ever been to long island in the summer or springtime knows what i'm talking about. the air is heavier and thicker than what he was used to, because he built and tested this in california and now he's sitting very close to the atlantic ocean and is just now occurring to him that maybe the test figures and data and air speeds and load values he came up with in cali
