Hi, this is Alonzo Bowden. I want to welcome you to episode 246 of my podcast, Who's Paying Attention?

A quick shout out to a couple of people who've been really nice to me and having me on lately.

The Young Turks, many of you know I like doing episodes of the Young Turks, and I've gotten back into that.

You can find that on

youtube uh t yt they're great very progressive uh farther left than me usually but we get along

and i love them and jank and anna and john the people who run at the anchors they're smart

and brilliant people great show So thank you for that.

And Stephanie Miller, who has me on her show, occasionally whenever our schedules allow, and I just

love her. She's really funny and smart. Check out the Stephanie Miller show. I'm also going to be

on a new podcast. It's called Fear Not. It's going to be done with a man

named Barry Glastner. Barry Glastner wrote a book called The Culture of Fear, why Americans are

afraid of wrong things. And it's great. It's about us being afraid of crime versus the real

statistics, you know, the real odds say that your kid is probably

not going to get grabbed in the park and your airplane's not going to be hijacked.

There's even a chapter about me.

Yes, there is a chapter explaining that you don't have to be afraid of big black men.

We're not that dangerous.

So we're doing a podcast together and that's

going to be released soon. So that's what I've been up to. So I've been busy and it's been good.

But now let's get back to my podcast. So, uh, to kick it off and, and you know, wow, I don't even mean mean to say this like let's get this out of the way

it's just it no no i got a better way to say it here we go again so as you probably know at a stem

school in colorado there was another school shooting and kendrick castillo is one of three kids who rushed the shooter.
