Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
David Luhnow is the Latin America editor for the Wall Street Journal. An American, he grew up in Mexico City. His brother Jeff is the general manager of the Houston Astros. (Have they done anything lately?) With Jay, David Luhnow talks about various matters Mexican: crime, economy, culture, politics, and more. The next president is expected to be AMLO – Andrés Manuel López Obrador. He is a left-wing populist and “old-fashioned Mexican nationalist,” as Luhnow says. Things could get interesting in a hurry.
Luhnow is a remarkably well-informed, remarkably balanced, and remarkably clear explainer. At the end of this episode, Jay says he wishes there were a David Luhnow for every region of the world.

Assuming that “AMLO” is short for Hamloaf then yes, yes I am.
As a long time Astros fan it was interesting to hear about the Luhnow brother’s background. Yes, he is doing a great job. I was also wondering about the treatment of Central Americans as they pass through Mexico. I knew they weren’t given a free pass. I just hope that we don’t get a refugee crisis from Mexico itself if AMLO turns it into Venezuela.
