On February 14, 2018, a gunman opened fire inside Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida – killing 17 and injuring another 17. It was one of the deadliest school shootings in American history. Tragically, there have been other deadly mass shootings at schools and places in the U.S. since. David Hogg was a senior at the school at the time. When he heard the gunshots in another school building, he and other students hid and he started interviewing his classmates about guns and the National Rifle Association, while the incident was going on. What students at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas did after the shooting was different than previous mass shootings. They fought back – not with violence, but with their voices and activism to try to stop gun violence. Hogg and other students created March for Our Lives to try to eliminate gun violence. It started as a small group of students reaching out to Florida legislators but grew. On The Spark Wednesday, Hogg described how big the movement got,"We started talking about, okay, what can we do now? And the thing that we thought of was doing a march. So we decided to have a march on Washington, and we thought that we'd only get about a dozen people there, or maybe 90 people there. And we ended up having over 800,000 people there. And we had the largest youth protest in modern American history with tens of thousands of young people registered to vote and tens of millions of them turning out and voting at the highest rate ever for a non-presidential midterm in 2018." Hogg was asked what that turnout said to him,"The fact of the matter is that the vast majority of Americans support stronger gun laws. The NRA doesn't want you to believe that. They want you to believe that they represent all gun owners. They don't. And the reason why I know that is because my father is a gun owner. I was part of the shooting club in college. I know the power and responsibility that comes with these weapons. And I know the vast majority of gun owners do not agree with the NRA. They do not think that people who threaten to shoot up a high school should be able to continue owning an AR-15 like the shooter in my high school did. And Americans are incredibly fed up and they're showing up." Hogg said there are ways to reduce gun violence,"One of the solutions that I advocate for that many states have adopted since Parkland is called a red flag law. It's a law that enables police to temporarily remove some of these firearms if they're believed to be a danger to themselves or others, for example, in Parkland or anywhere else. If this law is in place and there's somebody who's threatening to shoot up their local high school or elementary school or kill themselves, they can have their guns temporarily taken away by the police and be given a court date with a right to due process and counsel to prove that they're not going to go and harm themselves or somebody else." Hogg also supports stronger background checks and more robust mental health screenings, although he added that mental health is not the main reason for gun violence.

46,000 deaths in America, every single year. We have more guns than people in the United States. And yet somehow, many states across the country are working to make it easier to get guns, easier to carry guns, and easier to kill people without consequence. This is partly because of the lies of the gun industry. To help us sort through the myths and find the truth, we've invited one of my favorite humans back on the show. Fred Guttenberg's daughter Jaime was murdered in the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas school shooting in 2018. Since then, Fred has been one of the world's leading voices in gun violence prevention. He is the co-author of the new book American Carnage, which is now available. Editorial Reviews Review “American Carnage by authors Thomas Gabor and Fred Guttenberg is a must read. Fred, like far too many Americans, understands gun violence because of the murder of his daughter Jaime. His work with Thomas Gabor to take on the myths around guns and gun violence in America and to present an evidence-based approach has resulted in a book that should be read by everyone who cares about this issue.” ―Congressman Eric Swalwell, US Representative to California's 15th congressional district “This book, one I will go back to many times, gives you every essential tool to become a well-informed member of a club I want you to join: committed citizens lifting their voices for the lifesaving changes to gun laws the vast majority of Americans want.” ―Steve Kerr, son, husband, father, grandfather, and head coach of the Golden State Warriors “Let me say at the outset that Fred Guttenberg and I agree on very little when it comes to gun policy. But we listen to each other and we constantly search for common ground. This book written by Thomas Gabor and Fred Guttenberg is an important one. And even though I disagree with some of what's written here, I recommend this book to anyone interested in saving lives. Fred and Tom make a passionate & evidenced-based case for facts to consider when pursuing certain reforms, which I'm sure will spur further passionate debate on this issue between us. I highly recommend American Carnage.” ―Former Congressman Joe Walsh of Illinois's 8th district “There's no single voice more important in the conversation in America about gun safety and avoiding the unthinkable tragedy of losing a child to gun violence than Fred Guttenberg. Fred's voice rings like a clarion in American Carnage where he, along with Thomas Gabor, explores the crucially important issue of misinformation when it comes to gun violence. The assault on truth spreads through every aspect of American politics, and there is no issue more uniquely American or deadly than gun violence. American Carnage is an essential read on one of the most important issues of our time.” ―Nicolle Wallace, host of Deadline: White House on MSNBC and former White House communications director “There are few issues in American life where the stakes are as high as gun violence, nor where the steps to prevent it are more straightforward. Virtually every American wants to see changes put in place to strengthen our laws and enforcement mechanisms to make gun violence more rare. Yet, those changes have been much harder to enact than popular sentiment would dictate. Why is that? Tom Gabor and Fred Guttenberg lay out why in this exceptional book, which explains the lies, half-truths, and myths propagated by the gun industry to fight common sense gun laws and to sell as many guns as possible, no matter the lives lost or cost to our society. For those of us in the gun violence prevention movement―which is all Americans wanting a safer country where gun violence is rare―this book provides all you need to break through those lies and mistruths, and help lead and participate in conversations that can result in real change, where public safety laws are advanced that protect all Americans from gun violence.” ―Kris Brown, president of Brady, United Against Gun Violence --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/alyssa-milano-sorry-not-sorry/message

The Florida Everglades was once six million acres of pristine wilderness. Today, it has been literally cut in half to three million acres and has been logged, burned, drained, developed and sequestered into sloughs and canals -- all of which are having monumental impacts on the birds and other wildlife that call the Everglades their home. We speak with two special guests today, Keely Weyker and Cesar Becerra, about the importance of the Florida Everglades -- and the measures being taken to restore it. The fate of the wildlife, particularly the birds, hangs in the balance. To find out more about Keely Weyker and the Everglades Foundation go to www.evergladesfoundation.org.

Hey everyone! So watching the news this morning, 1 year anniversary of the Parkland Florida massacre at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marjory_Stoneman_Douglas)  for me is that she was a passionate environmentalist! She basically created the Everglades. I never heard of her till last fall, when we read about her in the incredible Wonders curriculum. So, IDK for me I have more of a connection there then to the other shootings in our schools. I wish I had some words of wisdom for you today. All I can say, is I feel like what we need more then anything is to teach kids proper use of social media. It should be our tool to teach them how to connect with like minded friends. I am not a fan of violent war games and I do think video games and television has a huge roll to play. Why we glorify violence? Sex and violence. Anyway off-topic. My mom actually told me about this, but my favorite musician Flower in the Gun. (https://www.msn.com/en-us/video/c/through-song-franti-hopes-to-educate-on-gun-violence/vp-BBT0gHo) I wish I could say Mike and I were ready to launch our Free Organic Garden Course today. We’re close that’s all I can say. I posted a pic on Facebook yesterday of Mike reading the workbook. That’s always a good sign, because he never reads anything online. He’s approved everything and I have almost finished all the recordings. We’ve aimed to use our place as a guidebook to help you take your garden journey to the next level using pictures to try to illustrate as many concepts as we can that have been taught on my show.  Today I am going to visit with the The Lower Valley Farm Academy. (http://www.lowervalleyfarm.com/p/welcome.html) If you didn’t get to catch the webinar (https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/991602654801021196)   Steve (and I ~ haha ~ I could barely get on the line) put on was very informative. Something I could watch a few times to get the hang of all he said, but a lot of what he teaches is an in depth version of the same principles Patti Armbrister has shared so I know you are going to be super interested. He hasn’t released the replay yet but when he does I’ll make sure you get a link. So, wishing you all a very Happy Valentines! Stay warm and safe and thanks always for listening! I hope you have something growing, something you’re tending too, caring for watering, because really plants are more then just something to look at they become almost like family. I love my herbs growing in my windows. I look at them everyday with a little bit of love. Support this podcast

His plea to #FixIt was heard around the world, initially at a White House Town Hall, and since that time in the news, on radio and in print. Andrew is here to talk to us about the recent news concerning his mission to #FixIt.

“How would the world be different if politics were rooted in radical love?”  In this kick off to Season 2 of the #SoulForcePolitics podcast, join Grammy and Oscar award-winning rock star Melissa Etheridge and our host, Heather Mizeur, for an in-depth discussion on how radical love can change politics as usual.

Alright folks today we're talking about the white supremacists who were too scared to show up in DC, and the white woman left over from Unite the Right (LOL) who caught wreck for being racist on a bus full of black people. We also talk about security at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas high school, and ask if a good school is enough to set kids up for a good future.

Long time friend and Gary's collaborator on the legendary Klub Kokomo joins us in the Booth to talk about that amazing production and his career as an actor, director, producer, and coach to trial lawyers. Richard directed and Gary was the stage manager for Paul Stanley's production of this wild show in 2000. Read about it here. Our producer was there and has never seen anything like it. A few highlights: They transformed the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts into a nightclub. The show was environmental and interactive (including working bars). Mark Lindsay of Paul Revere and the Raiders fame played a 15 minute set at each intermission. Wish you could have seen it. Richard draws on his background as a theatre artist to train lawyers on presentation skills for the courtroom and depositions. In his business, Speaking Legally, he works with partner Kevin Theis  (episode 58) on coaching performance skills. Chicago Litigation Consultants brings actors into law firms or law schools to portray clients or witnesses to train lawyers in trial practice. Sounds like fun and interesting work. Gary asks him if he's ever had a hopeless case. No, but Richard describes a very interesting challenging client. Thanks once again to awesome friend of the show, Nancy Needles, we learned about an amazing "Urban Glamping Experience" at The Gwen Hotel here in Chicago. You must check out the glamorous details. We think $5,500 per night is extreme, even if you are allowed to share it among 7 people. Still, it's a fun thing to imagine doing. Gary tells us about our friend Jennifer Engstrom's marvelous performance doing exerpts from her Dorothy Parker show at A Red Orchid's fund raiser (which we attended the night after she was on the show).  Jennifer is the real deal, in so many ways. We were thrilled to get to witness some of Frank's mentorship of Jen in action. Richard is an official Tony award voter - first on our show! He and Gary did some fun predictions and we will let you know how that went. Big love to The Band's Visit! A heartfelt thank you to Carnegie Mellon and the Broadway League for recognizing Melody Herzfeld, the remarkable drama teacher at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas high school, with a Tony award. Will write more about that next episode. We, like so so many others, loved Rachel Rockwell. The point of this part of our show is to celebrate and honer someone we admired. Listen to his lovely tribute that includes some beautiful quotes about who she was and her work from her dear friend and collaborator, Rick Boynton, as well as from her dad. Read Chris Jones' obituary here. We were fortunate to be able to spend an afternoon with her as our guest on episode 57.                    

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Brian Mudd of WJNO fills in for Mark. Where is the spike in suicides coming from? Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain get media attention when they commit suicide but the CDC is reporting a 30% increase in suicides since 1999. What happened around that time? With respect to our schools, the Department Of Education began in 1980 and the U.S at that time was second only to Australia in education, today we're 17th. The eradication of God and values in the classroom was around that same time. In 1999 Columbine shooting took us by surprise, and now we have a generation of people that have grown up with social media. Could it be morality or the lack thereof? Why aren't we looking at addressing the root of this evil? Consistent decline in outcomes in education since 1980. Later, Trump is at the G7 today. He blasted other countries for imposing high tariffs on the US for decades. Finally, after the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas school shooting; bump stocks are gone, their manufacturer is bankrupt, and the State of Florida has introduced new mental health safeguards. And interestingly, gun owners are more law abiding than non-gun owners. Guns don't kill people, gun-bans kill people. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
