Val Atkinson is back this week as we try and process the murder and mayhem here in the US and around the world. Another mass shooting, this time on the Fourth of July, has us collectively wondering if there is anything to stop these mass shootings. If you ask Mitch McConnel and the Republicans, you are likely to get more thoughts and prayers and mumbled thoughts and prayers. We will also discuss the murder of another unarmed black man, this time by police in Akron, Ohio. We also talk about the 1/6 Hearings, assassination in Japan, the end of Boris Johnson in Britain, Brittney Griner pleading guilty in Russia, and we can't leave out the dangers of Clarence Thomas and his desire to upend privacy rights. All of that and anything else we can squeeze in on another information-packed edition of The Deal.
