There is a current Massachusetts bill sponsored by MA Senator Brendan Crighton, S.1061 “An Act to promote public safety and better outcomes for youths” that aims to gradually raise the juvenile-court age to 21 years old. Massachusetts currently treats anyone 18 or older as an adult in criminal court so if this bill passes, that will change. Do you support raising the age of juvenile jurisdiction to 21 years of age? Sen. Crighton joined us to discuss his bill.

We continued the topic of Mayhem on Memorial Drive. Then, after that discussion wound down, Dan introduced a new topic. 

A new poll published this week by NewsGuard/YouGov, finds that nearly one third of Americans (30%) believe that at least one of the three attempts on President Donald Trump’s life over the last two years was staged. Of the 1,000 Americans surveyed, only 38% believe that all three assassination attempts were authentic. Do you believe any of the assassination attempts were staged? If so, why? There is no evidence that any of the attempted assassinations of Trump were “staged”

Shortsleeve has been challenging Minogue to a debate for months and thus far, Minogue has brushed Shortsleeve off. While Minogue had a roughly 70% convention endorsement to Shortsleeve’s roughly over 15% endorsement, Shortsleeve is still an opponent worthy of debating.
