Bullets & Ballots with Dave Weigel, Nato Green & Gina Viola (Ep 139)

Good guys with guns are also bad. Every detail that emerges about the Uvalde, Texas shooting at an elementary school is worse than the last. The takeaway remains the same: we need gun control NOW. If there isn’t the political will, the people are gonna have to make it so. Comedian and union organizer Nato Green is back to discuss the details of another somber week in America. Dave Weigel, political reporter for the Washington Post, also joins to break down both parties’ strategy in a midterm/primary season that is swimming in SuperPAC cash. And even still, progressive have claimed victories! Finally, LA mayoral candidate Gina Viola on why neither Karen Bass nor Rick Caruso are delivering what Los Angeles desperately needs. Finally a *BONUS BISH* on Eric Adams becoming Dems new pro-cop darling, and a positive update on US-Cuba relations. Become a patron at www.patreon.com/bitchuationroom to watch and listen.
