Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Kate Lynch, Phil Thomas, and Andy Hunter. We continue our deep dive into self-proclaimed "killologist" Dave Grossman and his 1995 book On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society (Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1995), dissecting his claims that America is in the midst of a hellish Purge style world of violent teens who have been activated by watching too many horror movies and playing one too many light gun games.Topics discussed include:  Dave Grossman has never watched a horror movie or played a video game (but that won't stop him from having strong opinions anyway), whether Rodney King was a serial killer, Kevin has a problem with A Clockwork Orange, the gang learns there actually is no crime, and Andy offers more choices between Pokémon and prescription drugs.For more on possible theories behind America's dramatic crime decrease since the 1990s, check out: Dana Lind and German Lopez, “16 Theories for Why Crime Plummeted in the US,” Vox, May 20, 2015, https://www.vox.com/2015/2/13/8032231/crime-drop.

Or click here for more information: Linktr.ee/BeatlesEarth   ----- The Beatles were an English rock band, formed in Liverpool in 1960, that comprised John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. They are regarded as the most influential band of all timeand were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and popular music's recognition as an art form. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock 'n' roll, their sound incorporated elements of classical music and traditional pop in innovative ways; the band later explored music styles ranging from ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock. As pioneers in recording, songwriting and artistic presentation, the Beatles revolutionised many aspects of the music industry and were often publicised as leaders of the era's youth and sociocultural movements. Led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the Beatles evolved from Lennon's previous group, the Quarrymen, and built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over three years from 1960, initially with Stuart Sutcliffe playing bass. The core trio of Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, together since 1958, went through a succession of drummers, including Pete Best, before asking Starr to join them in 1962. Manager Brian Epstein moulded them into a professional act, and producer George Martin guided and developed their recordings, greatly expanding their domestic success after signing to EMI Records and achieving their first hit, "Love Me Do", in late 1962.   Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr all released solo albums in 1970. Their solo records sometimes involved one or more of the others; Starr's Ringo (1973) was the only album to include compositions and performances by all four ex-Beatles, albeit on separate songs. With Starr's participation, Harrison staged the Concert for Bangladesh in New York City in August 1971. Other than an unreleased jam session in 1974, later bootlegged as A Toot and a Snore in '74, Lennon and McCartney never recorded together again. Two double-LP sets of the Beatles' greatest hits, compiled by Klein, 1962–1966 and 1967–1970, were released in 1973, at first under the Apple Records imprint. Commonly known as the "Red Album" and "Blue Album", respectively, each has earned a Multi-Platinum certification in the US and a Platinum certification in the UK. Between 1976 and 1982, EMI/Capitol released a wave of compilation albums without input from the ex-Beatles, starting with the double-disc compilation Rock 'n' Roll Music. The only one to feature previously unreleased material was The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl (1977); the first officially issued concert recordings by the group, it contained selections from two shows they played during their 1964 and 1965 US tours. The music and enduring fame of the Beatles were commercially exploited in various other ways, again often outside their creative control. In April 1974, the musical John, Paul, George, Ringo ... and Bert, written by Willy Russell and featuring singer Barbara Dickson, opened in London. It included, with permission from Northern Songs, eleven Lennon-McCartney compositions and one by Harrison, "Here Comes the Sun". Displeased with the production's use of his song, Harrison withdrew his permission to use it.Later that year, the off-Broadway musical Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on the Road opened. All This and World War II (1976) was an unorthodox nonfiction film that combined newsreel footage with covers of Beatles songs by performers ranging from Elton John and Keith Moon to the London Symphony Orchestra. The Broadway musical Beatlemania, an unauthorised nostalgia revue, opened in early 1977 and proved popular, spinning off five separate touring productions. In 1979, the band sued the producers, settling for several million dollars in damages. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978), a musical film starring the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton, was a commercial failure and an "artistic fiasco", according to Ingham. Accompanying the wave of Beatles nostalgia and persistent reunion rumours in the US during the 1970s, several entrepreneurs made public offers to the Beatles for a reunion concert.Promoter Bill Sargent first offered the Beatles $10 million for a reunion concert in 1974. He raised his offer to $30 million in January 1976 and then to $50 million the following month. On 24 April 1976, during a broadcast of Saturday Night Live, producer Lorne Michaels jokingly offered the Beatles $3,000 to reunite on the show. Lennon and McCartney were watching the live broadcast at Lennon's apartment at the Dakota in New York, which was within driving distance of the NBC studio where the show was being broadcast. The former bandmates briefly entertained the idea of going to the studio and surprising Michaels by accepting his offer, but decided not to.   Bill Wurtz (stylized in lower case as bill wurtz or billwurtz) is an American musician, singer-songwriter, animator, video editor, and internet personality based in New York City. He is known for his distinctive musical, comedic, and narrative style which includes deadpan delivery and singing paired with colorful surrealist, psychedelic, and non-sequitur graphics. Wurtz first published material on YouTube in 2013. He set up a website in 2014, presenting a catalog of music and videos he had created since 2002. Wurtz proceeded to upload edited versions of his videos on Vine, where he gained his initial popularity. He experienced breakout success on YouTube with his animated videos, History of Japan (2016), and History of the Entire World, I Guess (2017). Wurtz released music videos regularly from 2017 to March 2019. Through the rest of 2019 and all of 2020, Wurtz was inactive on YouTube, returning to the platform in January 2021 with a new visual style of 3D animation. Wurtz's first recorded composition was an instrumental named "Late Nite Lounge with Loud Lenny" which according to his site was recorded on June 17, 2002, his first recorded song was "stuck in a rut" recorded on March 3, 2005. Wurtz's first known YouTube activity were on an account called "billynothingshow". Wurtz was first known for his presence on the short-form video-sharing website Vine, where he first gained a following in 2014. He began by taking short videos he had previously published to his website and re-editing them to fit Vine's six-second restriction.Before transitioning fully to YouTube, Wurtz was uploading a video to Vine nearly every day. He received early attention in 2015 for the short video "Shaving My Piano", which was covered briefly in The Verge. On April 11, 2016, Wurtz won the Shorty Award for "Tech & Innovation: Weird" at the 8th Shorty Awards; during the awards ceremony, attention was given to one of his Vine uploads "I'm Still a Piece of Garbage". Wurtz withdrew from making vines to focus on finishing History of Japan. Wurtz had originally intended to make a video on US history, but abandoned it. Alongside interest on Vine, Wurtz achieved wider popularity in 2016 with History of Japan, a nine-minute YouTube video that outlines Japan's history. Wurtz chose the topic due to his lack of knowledge of it. The video covers key events of its history: "Buddhism, internal conflict, alliances with Britain, World War I, World War II, the dropping of atomic bombs and its post-war economic miracle". It showcases Wurtz's quirky visual and comedic style through a mixture of fast-paced narration and animation, intercut with short musical jingles. The video was described as "an entertaining new approach to education". It went viral on social media after its release on February 2, 2016, and under a week later, received over four million views by February 8. It particularly received considerable attention on Tumblr and Reddit. As of August 2021, the video has over 68 million views. German Lopez of Voxcalled it a "strange", "pretty good – and surprisingly funny" video.  History of the Entire World, I Guess was the top video on the YouTube trending page on the day of its release, receiving 3.2 million views on its first day, and on Reddit it became the most upvoted YouTube link of all time. It became an Internet meme and was listed at eighth place on YouTube's list of the top 10 trending videos of the year. As of January 2023, it has over 152 million views.[25] Writer German Lopez for the news website Vox praised the video for not heavily focusing on western and US history, and successfully covering other areas in world history which may be neglected in US schools, such as powers in China, Persia, and India. Because it resists specialization and assembles history in chronological order starting from the beginning of the Universe, history of the entire world, i guess can be considered a work of Big History, and is probably one of the most popular works associated with the discipline. It has been called a "must-see" and is considered to be Wurtz's magnum opus. In 2020, Thrillist ranked the video at number 40 on its list of best YouTube videos of all time. Wurtz's song "Just Did a Bad Thing" and the accompanying video spawned TikTok videos of people lip-syncing to the opening lines; in the platform, #ididabadthing became the top hashtag of March 2019. Following this, Wurtz would only post four more videos before his break, ending with "Might Quit". After "Might Quit" was released, Wurtz would not post any new videos to YouTube for nearly two years, before continuing to release music and videos animated in 3D with Blender. Wurtz has developed an absurdist, surreal style on both his music and animation. Eddie Kim wrote for MEL Magazine that Wurtz "refuses to mimic anyone else's animation or musical style, but it's not weird for weirdness' sake alone", comparing him to Thundercat and Louis Cole and highlighting Wurtz's pretty pop melodies, unexpected chords and multi-layered rhythms as commonalities. Geoff Carter of Las Vegas Weekly stated: "Merge Don Hertzfeldt, Jenny Holzer and Thundercat and you might get someone a little bit like Bill Wurtz". Nick Douglas of Lifehacker summarized him as "somewhere between comedy and education and vaporwave." Wurtz's music has been classified as jazz-pop, incorporating elements of lo-fi music, smooth jazz, funk and easy listening. Wurtz tends to reject genre categorization, and does not consider himself to be a jazz musician. Overall, his music evokes malaise, self-deprecation, and a "blurring of the lines between irony, parody and honesty".[35] This is often paired comedically with dire circumstances or sobering undertones. In an interview with Genius, Wurtz stated that "it's a good... songwriting technique to write about something bad with a good sounding melody, because if you can get people to feel good about something bad, then you're bulletproof in life." Wurtz's voice has been described as "silky tenor with range and energy". Artists who have expressed admiration for Wurtz's music include indie musicians Daði Freyr and Sidney Gish, fellow YouTube musician Adam Neely, DJ and producer Porter Robinson, as well as Australian singer Sia. '[Music] theory' may be fun, but it's made of liquid and has a tendency to melt. The music comes first and then you figure out how to describe what happened, although fully describing it can never be done. One of the classical composers said 'We will never understand music, but music understands us readily and instantly'.   Wurtz started playing music at a very early age. He has claimed to be "wholly self-taught" as a musician, and regularly downplays the importance of music theory in songwriting and composition, insisting that the sound and feel of music should be prioritized over attempts to conform to theory. In fact, one of the defining characteristics of Wurtz's style is a subversion to conventional approaches to composition. One example is "I Wanna Be a Movie Star", highlighted in an article for the student newspaper The Harbinger, where the author praised Wurtz's skill in incorporating complex time signatures without causing the music to feel "either incomplete or too long", instead achieving a sound that "feel[s] completely natural" and "pop-ish". Wurtz has used different programs to edit his music, including GarageBand from 2009 to 2010, and long-discontinued Logic Express 9 until at least 2016. Videos Wurtz's videos are typically in a lo-fi, neon aesthetic, and have been described as surreal and psychedelic. They range from "nonsensical" shorts to animated music videos, and often involve deadpan humor, dancing stick figures, vaporwave-like transitions and neon, sans-serif text on-screen. Wurtz often follows similar patterns in his videos such as multi-layering, and clip art images. He has stated the low-budget quality arose out of a necessity to publish videos regularly and evolved naturally. At Vidcon 2018, Wurtz was asked why his style is so different from other YouTube musicians. He stated that he chooses to "live under a rock" and produce his music in isolation rather than take inspiration from other creators on the platform. Wurtz publicly struggles with perfectionism, making use of schedules and deadlines to overcome it. In response to a fan question he explained that in the process of doing this he has "been forced to become an expert on carelessness". Website Wurtz launched his personal website billwurtz.com in 2014. Despite this, it has been compared to a late 1990s website due to its simple design. Apart from containing all of his released songs and most of his videos dating back since 2002, the website also features many other types of content not available elsewhere. For example, Wurtz posts vlog-style 'reality' videos depicting his creative process. Wurtz maintains a section on his website to answer anonymously submitted questions. His answers to questions are considered an aspect of Wurtz's creative output; the style of his answers have been described as "verging on the poetic" and "earnest, if somewhat loopy-sounding".

Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Elford Stephens, Phil Thomas, and Andy Hunter. As we work our way towards learning how video games got age ratings in the United States by learning about how violent video games, led by Mortal Kombat, made people anxious about the impact of games on kids. This increased attention to Mortal Kombat and its imitators came at a time when Americans were really concerned about violence in society, especially youth violence. These circumstances, in turn, inspired some people to call upon the industry to rate itself, lest the federal government do it for them.Topics discussed include: Mortal Kombat clones, the 1993 “Summer of Violence,” the secret origins of Mokap, the underreported epidemic of centaur leg thefts, and how the media ruined the lives of countless children (but not in the ways you might think).Content warning: (20:00-1:08:48) Discussion of mass shootings, violent crime, gun violence, and mass incarceration.Important sources for this episode:Michelle Alexander, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness (New York: The New Press, 2010).Theodore Chiricos, "Moral Panic As Ideology: Drugs, Violence, Race and Punishment in America," in Justice with Prejudice: Race and Criminal Justice in America, eds.

The Texas school shooting is part of a grisly ritual in American life. A tragedy, followed by mourning, followed by inaction, followed by several months, followed by another tragedy. What can be done? What WILL be done? This episode isn't about false hope. It's about information. The New York Times's German Lopez, who has been reporting on guns and gun control policy for many years, joins the podcast to answer as many questions as we can fit into a show, including: Why are school shootings becoming more common in the U.S.? What are the most successful gun control policies at our disposal? Why doesn't Washington ever do anything about this problem? What happens now? Oh, and Derek will be off next week. New episodes will return in early June! Host: Derek Thompson Guest: German Lopez Producer: Devon Manze Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

German Lopez. Vox journalist on criminal justice

Debunking the myth that Black Lives Matter is trying to destroy families is such an important topic, we're spending our second week in a row talking about it.   If you haven't had a chance to listen to last week's episode — “Black Lives Matter And the Family Part 1: Enslavement” — I would encourage you to check out that one first.    In Part 1, we talk about what Black Lives Matter has actually said about the family, how it's been misinterpreted and how enslavement has affected the history of Black families in our country. In essence, it's an explanation of the historical context of what we're seeing in the Black family, whereas Part 2 focuses on a system that is happening in the present day — a system that is negatively affecting the Black family as we speak.   That system is the over-policing of Black and brown communities and mass incarceration.   In this episode — “Black Lives Matter and the Family Part 2: Over-Policing and Mass Incarceration” — we look at:   Why we see an overrepresentation of Black and brown people in jail and in prison. How sentencing disparities further harm Black families How the law has criminalized the actions of Black people in a way that it has not done for people who hold white privilege. How myths about Black fathers are just that — myths.   My hope is that by the end of these two episodes you can see what I see: that Black Lives Matter loves families so much, that they want lots of different people from lots of different types of families to have the same access to opportunity.   Race Talk Roadmap   Our Race Talk Roadmap is the tool you need to begin conversations about race and racism with your children!

Matt and Dara are joined by Vox's German Lopez to talk about the Biden administration's plan to authorize third doses of the vaccine for Americans beginning in September. They discuss the scientific, political, and moral reasons behind the decision. They also look at the international implications of sharing vaccines and the difficulties of ramping up production in the vaccine supply chain ecosystem. This week's white paper is a study of how slave-owning southern families retained their wealth and influence after the Civil War. The conversation illuminates the importance of social ties to political continuity and explores a similar study of Chinese generational wealth spanning the Maoist revolution.

Matt and Dara are joined by Vox's German Lopez to talk through some of the lessons we seem not to have learned from the way the Covid pandemic unfolded — or, is still unfolding. Our hosts discuss the abandonment of the Obama-era pandemic playbook, the politicized messaging and idiosyncratic inattention of former President Trump, and what it would mean to develop a truly harm-reducing strategy for the America we actually have. Plus, some research is discussed that evaluates the relationship between access to treatment facilities and morbidity due to substance abuse.

Matt and Dara are joined by Vox's Andrew Prokop to talk about the very notion of a president's "first hundred days," whether or not it is a useful or important metric for their performance. Andrew talks about the history of the term, originating with F.D.R., and our hosts evaluate some of the recent lines of comparison between Biden and Roosevelt that have been floating around in the discourse lately. Plus, some research is analyzed that examines the effect of the channel placement of Fox News in certain areas, and Republican performance in federal elections.

For months, the primary tools we had to combat Covid-19 outbreaks were testing, distancing, and masks. Now there's a new and highly effective tool: vaccines. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has asked the White House for more vaccines and resources to address the state's Covid spike. Thus far, the Biden administration is sticking to its plan of distributing vaccines according to population, whatever case rates in certain areas may be. Vox senior correspondent German Lopez (@germanrlopez) discusses whether the US needs to tweak its vaccine plan so that more shots get directed to places where the virus is surging.

(with music) TOPICS: the dehumanizing effect of perfectionism as well as lack of valuing through time and attention context & wabi-sabi inherent in self & others, speed and shortening attention spans through increasingly abusive high-control demands of daily lives and interactions fostering cocaine-esque obsession with detail and appearances at the expense of patience and empathy, using proverbial gasoline to put out dumpster fires created by words and rules and stress and demands by adding more, my recognition of my participation in all these, appreciating that people have context for shortcomings even if I have survival priorities that take precedence over a deep dive with them, recognizing my drive for impossible perfectionism and success in finding 'the right way' to communicate with others when communication is only ever as powerful as the ears and eyes and human who receives it, the inability for a change in my mindset (or approach) to alter how others view and choose to treat me, my thoughts' and words' inability to change my world or the people in it, my words' and thoughts' inability to intellectually pin down and identify love so I can recognize it in the wooly wilderness out there, and finally getting to the place where I could surrender to the music I really needed in the first place.

With Joe Biden in office, the United States has a chance to reset its response to the Covid-19 pandemic and address the crisis at hand. President Biden has set a goal of administering 100 million Covid-19 vaccines in 100 days. Central to his plan to get there: an increased federal role in the process and billions of dollars in investment. Vox's German Lopez discusses America's current vaccination landscape, Biden's coronavirus strategy, and how the new administration's approach differs from Donald Trump's.

German Lopez-periodista con Vox quien hizo la investigación. Nos habla de este tema.

President Gerald Ford took office during one of the most difficult times in the country’s history. In August 1974, the US had just lived through Watergate, President Richard Nixon’s resignation, and more than a decade of divisive fighting over its involvement in Vietnam. While millions of Americans fought in Southeast Asia, many others protested the war at home — or dodged the draft. Ford wanted to find a way to bring the country together. Just a few weeks after assuming the presidency, he created a Clemency Review Board, a bipartisan group that would decide the fate of the young Americans who were convicted of refusing induction, or going AWOL (absent without leave), from Vietnam. Those young men could fill out an application, and the board would decide whether they deserved a pardon — which would erase a felony conviction from their record. Many of the Democratic candidates for president want to do the same thing today. They’re proposing a Clemency Review Board to review applications from federal inmates, many of whom are serving long sentences because of harsh penalties enacted during the War on Drugs.  In this episode: forgiveness and redress after two long conflicts, the Vietnam War, and the War on Drugs. The Impact looks back at how Ford tried to heal the nation — and how he transformed the lives of two men as a result. We’ll also find out how Ford’s idea might work today, for a new generation of young people behind bars.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is running for president with a plan to fight the opioid epidemic. Her legislation would dramatically expand access to addiction treatment and overdose prevention, and it would cost $100 billion over 10 years. Addiction experts agree that this is the kind of money the United States needs to fight the opioid crisis. But it’s a really expensive idea, to help a deeply stigmatized population. How would a President Warren get this through Congress?  It’s been done before, with the legislation Warren is using as a blueprint for her proposal. In 1990, Congress passed the Ryan White Care Act, the first national coordinated response to the AIDS crisis. In the decades since, the federal government has dedicated billions of dollars to the fight against AIDS, and it’s revolutionized care for people with this once-deadly disease.  But by the time President George H.W. Bush signed the bill into law, hundreds of thousands of people in the US already had HIV/AIDS, and tens of thousands had died.  In this episode: how an epidemic begins, and how it ends. We look at what it took to get the federal government to finally act on AIDS, and what that means for Warren’s plan to fight the opioid crisis, today.  We always want to hear from you!

Hello! And welcome to another edition of Inside The Newsroom. Today’s guest is David Armstrong, senior healthcare reporter at ProPublica. David has covered the pharma industry for more than a decade, and is an expert on the current opioid crisis in the U.S. We discussed a ton, and below is my post-game analysis on everything we covered. Enjoy!How Did the Opioid Crisis Even Start?The U.S. opioid crisis is one of its worst-ever drug epidemics. Almost 1,000 people die each week from opioid-related overdoses, and some experts say the death toll could be another 500,000 in the next decade. The problem started when doctors overprescribed legal painkillers for years and years, such as oxycodone, and was made worse by the influx of cheap substitutes supplied by foreign drug cartels, such as fentanyl. In 2017, it was estimated that 1.7 million Americans suffered from an opioid overdose. Claire Felter, Council on Foreign RelationsPain, Meet OxyContinThe most well-known painkiller on the market, and thus the drug attracting the most attention is OxyContin, produced and sold by Purdue Pharma. Purdue’s original best-seller was a drug called MS Contin, which is a slow-release morphine pill that dissolves over several hours into the bloodstream allowing many patients to sleep through the night. Just before the patent for MS Contin expired, Purdue developed a new, more potent painkiller derived from pure oxycodone and about 50 per cent stronger than morphine. This began the opioid crisis.Xan Rice, New StatesmanThanks to Dan Keating and Samuel Granados from the Washington Post for visualizing just how strong the drugs are that people are taking legally and illegally.Is the Crisis Nearing an End?Latest data from the CDC shows that the number of drug overdose deaths fell five percent, the first decline since 1990. Some experts point to the fall being directly linked to the reduction in opioid overprescription, but we’re not of the woods yet. Other experts say that the overdose deaths from illegal painkillers sold by drug dealers are still on the rise.Chelsea Whyte, New ScientistDo You Like Me?Before you read on, please like this edition of Inside The Newsroom by clicking the ❤️ below the title. That way I’ll appear in clever algorithms and more people will be able to read. Cheers.Who Are the Sackler family?Brothers Mortimer and Raymond Sackler bought Purdue Pharma in 1952, which has been controlled by the wider Sackler family since their deaths in 2010 and 2017, respectively. The Sackler family were once known around the world for their generous philanthropic donations to some of the world’s leading institutions, from Yale University to the Guggenheim Museum in the US and the Serpentine Gallery to the Royal Academy in Britain. That’s all changed in the past few years.Joanna Walters, the GuardianThe Danger (but Effectiveness) of Purdue’s MarketingPurdue Pharma first released OxyContin in 1996 and has made billions of dollars from the drug. It did so by concealing the truth about the risk of addiction in its marketing. Purdue knew it would receive criticism, and in 2001, Richard Sackler, the company’s former president and co-chairman and son of the late Raymond Sackler, wrote this in an email with the aim of pinning the blame on the users of his company’s drug: “We have to hammer on the abusers in every way possible. They are the culprits and the problem. They are reckless criminals.”Andrew Joseph, STAT NewsWhy Did Purdue Just Declare Bankruptcy?Earlier this month, Purdue Pharma filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, as part of a deal to settle more than 2,000 lawsuits against the company (my guest David Armstrong said this number is now nearer 3,000). Don’t be fooled though. Purdue and the Sackler family have certainly not run out of money. Such a process is meant to ensure that Purdue can preserve its value while it gets more time to negotiate with every entity it’s being sued by. Andrew Joseph, STAT NewsWho Are the Other Opioid Companies Involved?It’s not just Purdue under fire. Thousands of lawsuits have been filed against other drug companies including Teva and Johnson & Johnson, who were recently ordered to pay a whopping $572million for its part in fuelling the crisis in Oklahoma alone. But it’s not just drug producers that are in hot water. Pharmacies such as CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens, who distribute the opioids to patients are being sued as well.German Lopez, VoxPartisan split?While the opioid crisis should unite Democrats and Republicans against Purdue and the other companies involved, diverging strategies may have started to emerge. Most of the 24 suing states that rejected Purdue’s settlement bill are Democratic, who “are aiming to send a broader message about corporate accountability, not just to Purdue, but to the large collection of even more powerful companies still tied up in opioid litigation,” according to Politico. Meanwhile the GOP are “going for a more pragmatic approach that may also reflect the party’s traditionally closer relationship with industry.”Sara Karlin-Smith, Dan Goldberg and Brianna Ehley, PoliticoAndddddd Trump?As per usual, Trump has claimed credit for the decline in opioid overdose deaths. Like with most things in life, it’s not that simple, and work from previous administrations to tackle the opioid crisis may be part-responsible. More nuanced, the decline in fatalities doesn’t necessarily mean that fewer people are overdosing; it may mean that the campaign to make antidotes widely available is saving their lives, though not necessarily getting people treatment to end their addiction.Brianna Ehley, PoliticoRelated Podcasts#46 — Christine Brennan (USA Today, CNN, PBS)#44 — Sebastian Junger (Tribe, The Perfect Storm)Last Time#48 — Scott Brodbeck (Local News Now)Thanks so much for making it all the way to the bottom.

Today we are going to discuss one of the politics of gun control. We will discuss the current state and federal gun control laws, some new gun control proposals coming from the Democratic candidates for President, and the ever-changing gun control positions of President Trump. We also discuss how Republican candidates and incumbents could communicate their more effectively.  Segment 1: David, Courtney and Ryan’s Backgrounds Segment 2: Current Rules and Regulations 1994 – Federal Background Check Requirement Requires all licensed gun sellers to perform a background check on a purchaser at the time of sale. Unlicensed sellers do not have to run a background check at this time. 22% of US gun owners acquired their most recent firearm without a background check. According to Giffords Law Center to prevent gun violence. State Laws- 22 states require some sort of background check/permit laws 12 States with Universal background checks- Background checks for ALL sales and TRANSFERS on all classes of firearms, no matter if licensed or unlicensed.  CA, CO, CT, DE, NV, NJ, NM, NY, OR, RI, VT, WA and (DC) Two states require background checks for handguns only, but not long guns like rifles or shotguns. MD, PA Three states require a permit to purchase any firearm issued after a background check.  HI, IL, MA Only one state requires a permit and unlicensed sellers to conduct the transaction through a licensed dealer.  NJ Four states require a permit for HANDGUNS only, you do not have to get one for long guns.  IA, MI, NE, NC What Background Checks Look for and Stop People From Purchasing a Gun Convicted of a crime that carried a sentence of more than one year, or a misdemeanor that carried a sentence of over two years Are a fugitive (i.e. there's a felony or misdemeanor warrant for your arrest) Are a drug addict Are diagnosed mentally ill, which can include being involuntarily committed, found not guilty by reason of insanity, or found unfit to stand trial Reside in the US illegally Are dishonorably discharged from the military Had a restraining ordered issued against you (i.e. found guilty of harassing, stalking, or threatening a partner or the child of your partner) Were convicted of domestic violence (i.e. convicted of using or threatening to use a deadly weapon against a spouse, former spouse, parent, guardian of the victim, etc.) Have renounced your US citizenship Current Legislation in Congress: H.R. 8 – To require a background check on every and all firearm sales. H.R. 1112 – Would also extend background checks, but also extend the waiting period for delivery of guns. …and this would do the same in closing that private sale loophole but also extend the waiting period for the delivery of guns when the FBI is having trouble conducting a background check. Under current law, that gun has to be delivered within 72 hours. The proposal that passed the House would extend that to 10 days. Both bills have passed the House, but Senator McConnell has not brought them to the Senate floor. Segment 3: Where do the Democratic Presidential Candidates Stand on Gun Control? What Candidates are going the furthest? Beto O’Rourke – Mandatory Buyback Program on Assault Rifles Cory Booker – Gun Licensing as a Solution Applicants would submit fingerprints, provide basic background info, provide documentation they completed a gun safety course. Limiting individual purchases of firearms to one per month, placing ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Voluntary buyback program- Buttigieg, Bullock, Castro, O’Rourke, Ryan and Yang Harris would take executive action to pass universal background checks and assault rifle bans. Biden - starting with universal background checks and bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Plans to defeat NRA. Warren – Too moderate on guns, in a democratic primary sense of course? The New York Times asked almost all Democratic Primary candidates (excluding Biden) the question “In an ideal world, would anyone own handguns?” Check out their answers here. Should they be more aggressive? In an article on Vox.com, German Lopez discusses why Democrats have not made progress on gun control and how there should be a Medicare-for-all type deal ending gun violence. The article is called, “Democrats have been discussing the same ideas on guns for 25 years. It’s time to change that.” Segment 4: Current Polling on Gun Control August 2019 CNN Poll – 1001n – National Sample G1. Do you favor or oppose stricter gun control laws? 60% Total Favor (41% Strongly) – 35% Total Oppose (21% Strongly Oppose) July 2019 CNN Poll – 1000n – National Sample “Please tell me whether you strongly support, somewhat support, somewhat oppose, or strongly oppose each of the following gun polices: Allowing (a family member/the police) to seek a court order to temporarily take away guns if they feel a gun owner may harm themselves or others.” 77% support family 70% support police  Republican Main Street Partnership Survey of Suburban Women – 530n – 200 interviews in 5 CD’s COCD06, KSCD03, NCCD09, PACD01, VACD10 72 percent said they think gun laws should be stricter, compared to four percent who said they should be less strict and 23 percent who said they should be kept as they are now. 55 percent said they think stricter gun laws would help prevent gun violence. 90 percent support requiring universal background checks for gun purchases at gun shows or other private sales, which would require all gun owners to file with a national firearms registry. 88 percent said they would support requiring a 48-hour waiting period between the purchase of a firearm and when the buyer can take possession of that gun. 84 percent back a national red flag law that would permit law enforcement to temporarily retain firearms from a person who may present a danger to others or themselves. 76 percent said they would ban the purchase and use of semi-automatic assault-style weapons like the AK-47 and the AR-15. 72 percent would support banning the sale and possession of high-capacity or extended ammunition magazines, which allow guns to shoot more than 10 bullets before needing to be reloaded. Segment 5: Colorado Gun Ownership and Concealed Carry Statistics The following information is from an article from Colorado Public Radio called “What the Numbers Tell Us About Guns In Colorado” by Ben Markus (March 2018) Colorado gun sales have increased substantially since President Obama became President in 2008. 26% increase in 2008 compared to 2% average annual increase in sales during President George W Bush two terms in office. Sales also increased after the high-profile mass shootings. After the Aurora theater shooting and Sandy Hook for example. Between 2011 and 2013, guns sales in CO rose 59%. Gun sales decreased by only 5% when Trump took office. In 2017, there were 360,468 guns purchased in CO. Since 2001, Coloradans have purchased 4 million guns. Handguns account for 58% of the purchases. Motivator is self-defense. There have been 379,732 concealed carry permit applications in the last 10 years. 63,904 total permits in 2018 (From CBI Instacheck Unit) 27,421 from Jan to June of 2019 (From CBI Instacheck Unit) In 2017, 77% of Colorado’s 749 gun deaths were suicide. The following information is from an article from the Colorado Sun called “Colorado’s 20,669 gun deaths since 1980, explained in five charts” (May 2019) In 2018, 885 people died by firearm in CO 20,669 gun deaths since 1980 in CO 15255 (74%) by suicide 4406 (21%) by homicide 566 (3%) Other 442 (2%) Unintentional/Accident Segment 6: Solutions to Random Gun Violence What are solutions that work? Will there be a fix? If there isn’t a 100% solution, what can we do? What’s the cause? Social Media NRA Video Games Lack of Communication Mental Health  

Last weekend, there were two mass shootings in the span of 13 hours. In El Paso, 22 were killed in what federal authorities are considering a domestic terrorist attack. And in Dayton, nine people were killed when a gunman opened fire in the city’s Oregon district. After horrific events like these, there's always questions like "Will lawmakers take action?" and "Will this time be different?" While there has been some small movement in the wake of the Parkland and Las Vegas mass shootings, the issue of gun control is largely at a standstill.   This week, we're revisiting the last time major gun control legislation was signed into law. Twenty-five years ago, Congress passed two major gun control bills, but the votes didn’t line up exactly as you’d expect. The Brady Bill, which was signed in 1993, didn’t go into effect until February 1994, and that was followed by the Assault Weapons Ban later that year.   Plus, we take a look at the complex world of absentee ballots. Last week, a new round of charges were filed against a political operative in North Carolina. He's being investigated for alleged voter fraud related to his handling of absentee ballots during the 2016 and 2018 elections. We also break down another voter fraud scandal in Brooks County, Georgia, from 2010.  Guests: Hank Brown (R), former Senator from Colorado Glen Browder (D), former Congressman from Alabama German Lopez, senior correspondent at Vox Professor Barry Burden, director of the Elections Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Steve Harrison, political reporter for WFAE Jon Ward, national political correspondent with Yahoo News Andra Gillespie, associate professor of political science at Emory University

Today, our guest is German Lopez. German a writer and he is currently doing a project called The Rehab Racket, which involves looking into addiction treatment, exploring some of the issues associated with it, and bringing them to light. This challenges the addiction treatment community to provide the very best care for people who are suffering from addictions. German is a senior correspondent at Vox.com. Before, he was writing mostly about drug policy and criminal justice issues, but for the past few months, his focus has been on The Rehab Racket project, which was created to investigate the cost and quality of the treatment that is available for addictions in the United States. At this point, German has received more than 1100 submissions from patients and their families. Episode Link>>>> www.theaddictedmind.com/84 ( http://www.theaddictedmind.com/84 ) For the last few years, German has been researching and writing about the opioid epidemic. He saw that policy-makers had been making an effort to put more money into addiction treatment, which is something that activists had been calling for, for quite some time. This information initially seemed contradictory to him because addiction is hard to treat, and there was a general understanding out there that much of the available treatment was inadequate, not evidence-based, and not really helping a lot of people. German wanted to make sure that the money being poured into addiction treatment was indeed going towards something worthwhile and effective. So he started talking to families, to ascertain whether or not he was onto something. This is how The Rehab Racket project came about. German believes that more money should be poured into addiction treatment but, at the same time, more should be done to ensure that the treatment is good. His hope is that The Rehab Racket project will serve to ensure that addiction treatment is motivated to be good by someone holding it accountable. It seems that the idea that people who use drugs and go through addiction treatment are under-represented overall in the conversation, has changed in recent years, particularly with the opioid epidemic. This is what motivated German to want to hear directly from the affected people. Also, to truly reflect how well addiction treatment is working, he needed to reach out to as many people as possible. This is why there is a survey form on German's website for people who have gone through the system to fill out, talk about their addiction treatment, and help shed a light on this part of the health-care system. Hearing from people who found a treatment that worked for their addiction, and got them into recovery, who had spent thousands, and sometimes even tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars on that treatment was alarming for German. The American health insurance system is supposed to protect people from these catastrophic costs, and in a lot of cases, the insurance is not doing that due to the many barriers that are involved. Mostly, the cost for the treatment of addiction is very high and there are no guarantees that it will be successful, because the treatment, and the various medications for addiction, do not work the same for everyone. Also, the medications that have worked successfully for addictions are not offered at all treatment centers. For a long time, society neglected this particular area of health care. There were initially no places that provided treatment for addictions, so that forced all the assistance to come from community groups, like AA and other twelve-step groups. Treatment for addiction is still a relatively young field, it takes good research to make a good change, and we are still learning about the most effective ways to help people who are struggling with addictions. However, many treatment facilities don't track their outcomes and many of the surveys that are done around addiction and recovery are of very poor quality, so it's difficult, at this stage, to know what kind of treatment is the most effective. But, based on the data that's available from the federal survey of treatment facilities, there seems to be more push lately to find out more about this particular field of health care. Often, issues of addiction, and issues like eating disorders, tend to overlap and may need to be treated simultaneously. This is challenging in terms of the kind of treatment that is currently available. It's difficult right now to find a facility that's the best fit for everyone's specific needs. Shatterproof would like to alleviate that issue. It's going to be a system like Yelp, but for rehab, to give an overview of the facilities and services offered by each treatment center. People with addictions need support. However, there's still a stigma with addictions, so people who struggle with them often get treated badly, with a lack of compassion. German has seen that even doctors, nurses, and other people who have been trained to deal with the suffering, tend to be prejudiced towards people with addictions. He would like to see this change and see the people in authority and policy-makers realizing that people with addictions need to be treated kindly, with compassion and care. He points out that this could be one of our society's main lines of defense against the current drug crisis. It seems clear to German that something is wrong. He hopes that through The Rehab Racket project, he can shine a light on problems like stigma, lack of insurance coverage, and lack of evidence-based care, all of which keep on coming up. He hopes that the policy-makers will soon realize that something needs to change. Telling your story is cathartic. It assists with the recovery process. *Links:* German's Reporting on Vox - www.vox.com/rehab ( http://www.vox.com/rehab ) German on twitter - @ germanrlopez ( http://twitter.com/germanrlopez )
