Some topics are so heavy they are difficult to discuss, but gun violence has become such a problem in America that it is vitally important for us to talk about it in order to bring change. In this special episode of Talk About It, Greg is joined in studio by some great new friends -- Mark Barden, founder of Sandy Hook Promise and co-founder of Artist for Action, and Matthew Reich and Neal Saini, co-founders of Artist for Action. Mark Barden experienced the unimaginable when his 7-year-old son Daniel was killed in the Sandy Hook massacre of 2012, an event that sent shockwaves throughout the country. Mark and his family continue to go through periodic episodes of depression, anger, hopelessness, and warding off bad actors who spread conspiracies. However, he has harnessed those emotions to start Sandy Hook Promise (SandyHookPromise.org) that works to educate communities and school districts about gun violence and notify law enforcement through a tip line when a student or school is in danger. The work he is doing is literally saving lives. Mark also co-founded Arist for Action with Matthew and Neil, an organization that platforms causes for artists to easily promote to fans. Together, they put on major events to promote gun reform and are producing a documentary feature with major musical stars attached. This episode is heavy, but this is a conversation that needs to be had.  The Talk About It podcast is sponsored by Seizures Are Signs — dedicated to educating families on the importance of early and specific diagnosis by providing an assessment to help get the conversation started, educational information, stories from families who have found a diagnosis, links to advocacy groups, and more.

When life throws you a curveball, like a daycare closing on your much-anticipated golf day, you've just got to roll with the punches and maybe throw a Super Bowl party instead. That's exactly what unfolded this week, and I'm here to spill the beans on everything from the homemade wings and burgers that almost made me miss kickoff, to the tantalizing tales of a Vegas Super Bowl experience that was nothing short of electrifying. We even reminisce about unexpected celebrity run-ins, proving that whether you're whipping up game day grub or rubbing elbows with the likes of Matthew Barry and Ryan Clark, it's all about embracing the moment.Sometimes, the game's outcome hinges on a few critical moments - and this Super Bowl was no exception. Join us as we dissect the heart-stopping plays between the 49ers and Chiefs, where a muffed punt and a fumble took center stage alongside Harrison Butker's impressive kicking. But it's not just the on-field action we're chatting about; we also raise a glass to coaching legends, from Andy Reid's triumphant arc to Doc Rivers' scrutinized career. And let's not forget the halftime show - we're betting on Kanye West to bring down the house at a future Super Bowl with his expansive hit list and history of captivating live performances.Steering the conversation to a more serious note, we tackle the urgent topic of gun reform and the responsibility we each hold in ensuring community safety. We share personal encounters that underscore the normalized presence of firearms in everyday life and the varied reasons behind why people carry them. Shifting gears, we then take you on a ride through Saudi Arabia's intimidating driving culture and what it reveals about universal traffic behaviors and cultural nuances.

5.9.2023 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Trump liable for battery, Roland Takes on Project 21 about Gun Reform, & Honoring Harry Belafonte A New York jury finds former President Donald Trump liable for battery and defamation in the E. Jean Carroll case and orders him to pay $5 million in damages.  We'll discuss what this means for his presidential candidacy. On Saturday, I had the pleasure of speaking on MSNBC about gun reform, and I guess my comments about Republicans riled some feathers.  So, today I will talk with a member of a black conservative group about what should be done about guns. Former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is blaming diversity and critical race theory for declining US History scores in grades K-12.  We will speak with the Director of Education Justice Research at NYU about test scores and why we have seen a change. To honor the late actor, singer, and civil rights icon Harry Belafonte I will share my last interview with Harry Belafonte.

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with with a question: Is it safe to go to the mall in a red state? Mass murder has become a regular occurance in red states like Texas, as Republicans apparently keep trying to gaslight us about how the guns somehow have nothing to do with it. Joy and her panel discuss how to demand common sense gun reform now. Plus, we have new information on the eight victims, including three children, in the tragic mass shooting that just took place in Allen, Texas. Also in this episode, the reportedly new and more conversative CNN has decided to host a town hall for Donald Trump at the same time that he is being investigated for fometing an insurrection, among other alleged crimes. Our media experts bring their analyses. Plus, we highlight the blowback from parts of the British Commonwealth, especially in the Caribbean, following this weekend's lavish and anachronistic coronation. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

What world do we live in when you can be shot at and almost killed for ringing the wrong doorbell? This is what happened to Ralph Yarl, a 16-year-old black teenager that went to the wrong house looking for his little brother. Andrew Lester, an 84-year-old white man, didn't ask who he was looking for or say he was at the wrong house, instead, he went to the door with his gun and opened fire on the teenager. Ralph was shot at twice and could have lost his life, for showing up at the wrong house. This is another shooting and still no change to gun reform. In this case, it's not standing your ground but open season. Here's another case where a senior leader of a company went on a rant to employees on a zoom call. Andy Owen's CEO for MillerKnoll company had a town hall call with employees to address the health of the organization and respond to employees' concerns about not getting a bonus this year. Andy started the call off with words of wisdom and how to navigate through the tough times of uncertainty, while telling the employees how to treat each other and continue to work hard. Things quickly took a turn for the worse, and she went down the path of making the employees feel that they needed to figure out how they were going to come up with the $26 million that the company lost. She goes on this rant by telling them not to worry about a bonus and to leave pity city. It was later reported that Andy Owen's receives a yearly salary of $1.1 million and her bonus in 2022 was $3.9 million in stock options. Three words for Andy: READ THE ROOM. This is another real world example of a leader that is tone-deaf and refuses to deal with the truth and reality of this important issue. Welcome to Season Five Episode Ten of Authentic Filters!

Not that we're trying to be overly dramatic here, but you literally can't go anywhere without the fear that someone is going to open fire. And the fact that many Republicans in congress are still singing the same old tune of “needing more guns” is wild to us! There are currently more guns than there are people in the U.S., yet they're NOT the problem…?From a Dunkin' Doughnuts Drive Thru to a Sweet 16 Birthday Party and a Bank Employee, the gun violence has hit heavy these past weeks. It's devastating to the families, the communities, and it just goes to show that there are people in office that really aren't about anything. Additionally, we're also diving into the update on Shanquella Robinson and what the U.S. has decided in regards to her assaulters. Welcome to Season Five Episode Nine of Authentic Filters!

Monterey Park, Half Moon Bay, and Oakland, California are all reeling from mass shootings in their communities this past week that left at least 19 people dead. In Monterey Park, a city east of downtown Los Angeles, the shooter opened fire in a dance hall during Lunar New Year celebrations. The next day's festival, which was set to draw thousands of people, was canceled. Special guest Elise Hu, journalist and host for NPR, was supposed to take her three young daughters to perform at the next day's Lunar New Year festival. She shares her experience trying to make sense of the violence and looking for hope amid tragedy. And with more mass shootings comes the wave of politicians and policymakers demanding gun reform. President Biden is renewing his call for an assault weapons ban, though House Speaker Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield says he won't commit to considering any new legislation. Would stricter gun laws make a difference? And is there a compromise both sides could be content with? Host David Greene discusses with Mo Elleithee, executive director of Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Public Service, and Sarah Isgur, senior editor at The Dispatch. Plus, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is standing by his state's decision to reject an Advanced Placement course in African American studies last week. He said the course lacks educational value and is too political due to its discussion of queer studies, reparations, and abolishing prisons. This is the first time a state has rejected an AP course, which is a class that allows high school students to potentially gain college credit. What's behind this decision and how can policymakers move forward? And special guest Sergio Peçanha, columnist at the Washington Post, discusses his recent article, “Hug an election denier,” and how we can embrace those we love despite disagreeing with them.
