If It’s a Crisis, Then Fix the Crisis (Guests: Rep. Phillip Ensler and Civil Rights Activist Sheyann Webb-Christburg)

Josh and David open with a discussion of Trump, the New York special election, immigration, and the presidential election. They also discuss some Republicans, including Trump, siding with Russia and its dictatorial leader, Vladimir Putin.

In the guest segment, state Rep. Phillip Ensler zooms in to discuss the 2024 Legislative Session, the gambling bill, and his collection of gun reform legislation.

We mark the first time we're honoring a "Social Justice Warrior of the Week." This week, our honoree is Civil Rights activist Sheyann Webb-Christburg, Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Smallest Freedom Fighter."

In the close, Josh and David discuss DEI and this week's Rightwing Nut of the Week.

You can also send it to us on Facebook and Twitter. Or by emailing us a voice recording to our email with your question, and we may play it on air.
