Today Steve and Mariah talk about a landmark settlement for the families of Sandy Hook victims, 4 years after the Parkland shooting, the ongoing rise in opioid deaths in our country and what legislators are trying to do about it, and more “alternative facts” and misrepresentations from Fox News. Then we are joined by Daily Beast and New York Times columnist, and author of “Go Back To Where You Came From: And, Other Helpful Recommendations on Becoming American”, Wajahat Ali! It’s an important, and (sorta funny?) conversation about racism in America.
