First Hour: On the anniversary of Lincoln’s assassination, Rick discusses the irony of historical gun nuts becoming famous, and Scott Dworkin of the Democratic Coalition joins us to discuss his new op-ed, and also Matt Gaetz and the endless stream of Republican scandals in DC. Second Hour: Treasurer of the DNC Black Caucus Khary Penebaker talks about the Chauvin trial and the charges in the Daunte Wright killing. Rick discusses the recent epidemic of gun violence, and then our good friend and former Ohio Congressman Bob Ney stops by to untangle some of the latest nonsense coming out of the Capitol. Rick closes the show with a local story about nursing home privatization.
