Summary

First, [4:10] Sam Sinyangwe (@samswey) joins us to talk about how media coverage of the Las Vegas massacre largely ignored America’s long history of mass shootings, including the deadliest mass shooting ever, perpetrated by white supremacists. You can read Sam’s tweets about the topic here: https://twitter.com/samswey/status/914963280501858304. We also discuss why gun control policies need to be conscious of race and racism, and why mixing sports and politics continues to be a good thing. Next, [40:16] regular friend and ally of the pod Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) is back to point out the irony in the Right not being more alarmed by Trump’s expansion of federal power — in particular ICE and Homeland Security. We also discuss voting rights and Rick responds to a listener seeking advice on how to have productive conversations with conservatives about gun control in the wake of Vegas. Rick and Ana try and don't entirely fail in modeling that conversation. We love hearing from you! Tweet the pod at @crooked_friends and email questions and thoughts to withfriendslikepod@gmail.com.

0:00.0	Have you ever tried a kind bar? You may have seen them in your local grocery store,
0:04.3	coffee shop, or gym. I keep a box of them in my pantry. They make delicious healthy snacks using
0:10.3	whole ingredients you can recognize and pronounce. And if you're ready to try some tasty and healthy
0:15.9	snacks, I have got a special deal for you. You can try 10 kind bars for free. That is free.
0:23.4	Free is in zero money. All you have to do is pay for shipping. When you order the sample box,
0:28.4	you also get to try kind snack club where you receive monthly snacks at a discount and get
0:33.9	members only bonuses. You shouldn't have to choose between your health and taste when it comes
0:38.4	to snacking. That's why both award-winning chefs and nutritionists love and recommend kind bars.
0:43.7	I actually kind of live on kind bars because I'm one of those people that forgets to eat if I
0:49.4	get engrossed in something. So I have to have a kind of a pile of things that I can eat without
0:56.0	having to do too much to get it going because I'm always afraid I'm going to get out of my magical
1:00.4	groove. So I just keep, like I said, I keep a sort of stash of kind bars in my pantry. I like them
1:07.3	especially because they have stuff that's not especially sweet. There's a jalapeno-flavored one
1:12.2	and a Korean spicy one. They also have your more traditional kind of granoli stuff like dark chocolate
1:17.8	nuts and sea salt, almonds, and spice. That kind of thing. They're all delicious. And again,
1:24.4	you can get a box for free if you go to kynesnacks.com slash friends. That's kynesnacks.com slash friends.
1:34.0	And I want to thank kyn for supporting this podcast. And remember, when you support my sponsors,
1:40.6	you support the podcast. So go get some free kind bars. Kynesnacks.com slash friends.
1:47.3	Hi, I'm Anna Mrycox. Welcome to With Friends Like These, a show about uncomfortable conversations
1:54.5	and messy coalitions. Today's show is particularly messy and pretty uncomfortable. We're going to talk
2:00.7	about the massacre in Las Vegas and we're going to talk a little bit about suicide. So if those
2:06.4	topics are not things that you want to hear about right now, I encourage you to turn off the pod
