Recap, This Week | Roundtable ⋮ A Pointcast Podcast Two Americas, the Challenges of the Working Poor "It's really bizarre, though, that we are now dependent on 19 year old kids working at Target to be a pillar of our economy by going to work in a viral zone. But they are! They really are essential. But later, essential workers should think about unionizing and demand more, like paid leave, pay raises -- pay people like they are essential. People have fallen under the illusion that they are working themselves up a ladder, but then find out [during times like this] that there is no ladder." Anthony Arnold Episode R14/60 |

Recap, This Week | Roundtable ⋮ A Pointcast Podcast Responding to COVID-19 "Responses from governments have been slow and confusing. So, the fear of not knowing much about this virus has probably become just as great as the impact of the virus itself. Additionally, some people are blaming Asians. France even put up a headline of 'yellow fever' on one of their magazines. They apologized for it, but its just an example of people not focusing on the actual problem. Racializing or politicizing COVID-19 does nothing to stop the virus; and that's what our focus should be on ‐‐ stopping this virus. We also have to recognize that not everyone can stay home from work. We are going to have to engage people on some level. But let's try to be responsible by washing our hands, phones and even light switches; and limiting contact with others if we feel ill." Episode R9/54 |

What people need to realize is what we saw in our last election with Russian interference was just a warm up, where people were trying to see where the cracks are and what areas they can they exploit, with the goal of confusion -- to make Americans distrust each other and believe that nothing is true at all."

Recap, This Week ⋮ Should Politicians Stump in Churches? Arwilda Allen, Real Estate Developer, Guest Real estate developer talks about grassroots politics in her hometown of Jeffersonville, Indiana and how the Black vote was compromised. "Churches do not pay taxes on the money that they raise in the church. So basically what that means [to me] is church and state should be separate. I'm not in favor of [politics in the church]. I think that churches should teach congregations about politics, not about being a republican or democrat, but about politics itself. But this whole thing about politicians in the church is about money and power, so I don't think it will end." Episode R7/51 |

Recap, This Week | Roundtable ⋮ A Pointcast Podcast How the NRA Defeated Washington "Each identity that the NRA absorbs gives them more power. That’s how they move from local politics to national politics. Because in addition to granting them power, these identities also grant them protection. Attacking the NRA is much more difficult when that also means tackling the police, as an example. Or when it means telling an individual supporter, who may have multiple identities tied to the NRA, that this organization which means so much to them is bad." Episode R5/49 |

Recap, This Week | Roundtable ⋮ A Pointcast Podcast Recap, This Week | Roundtable discusses this week's political news with Josh Hyde, Anthony Arnold and Alexander Krohannon. "I don't have a fear of losing my right to bear arms, but we do have to find some sort of space where we can make a true impact on reducing gun violence. We have to change our minds about how we see guns versus the preservation of human life. Again, I don't want the right to bear arms to go away, but I don't want to continue as we are with a rising death rate due to people choosing a gun to solve a problem. Sometimes, we can unknowingly create a context for bad things to happen. I think that we have done that with guns. Now, it's time we take responsibility for this." Episode R1/38 |
