Episode livestreamed Tuesday, July 7, 2020, on Facebook and YouTube.

This episode is going to be a wide sweeping discussion on current events that have been in the news in the last week, from pandemics to racial discussions.

We're going to continue the hard conversation on how to have the uncomfortable conversation regarding race, differences and the history we were never taught. We will talk about more Covid-19 learnings from the week. We will talk Hamilton, our nation's independence, and now the cancel culture coming for it. We'll welcome Curtis Harkness, Aaron Smalls and Kash Lee Kelly for today's show and potentially a guest. We will give an update on the forming partnership between #BeTheChange and #StreetlightsUnityMovement.

Today's potential discussion items:
Untaught History and the Conversations that Ensue
COVID-19 News of the Week
US's Independence, Hamilton and the Cancel Culture Movement
Whatever New crazy crap comes out in the morning - Black Militant Groups

The concept about this hour on politics is to create open dialogue. We have made ourselves well versed in politics, with a willingness to research every bit of information that comes my way and separating fact from "media fact," based on exhaustive research and common sense in the English language. This will be an open forum for discussion. The first few have been incredibly productive as we try our best to show every side so that we better know to have a conversation in the end. We are going to share our thoughts, and do our best to answer a couple questions. I'll be keeping this show to one hour (ish) and again, looking to continue this regularly. We will talk about the issues in Atlanta, why it's important to listen to different viewpoints, what this division is causing and why this is so dangerous as a society... the hangings, the elderly woman pushed in the street in NY, we have to maintain civility, and we want to help you with that voice.

Here's the "Event" - this starts at 5:30 pm EDT and will go for about an hour to explain the danger in all the hateful posting going on with political posts. Right now, as a country we are in this together and I want to separate opinion from facts, logic from emotion, and what happens when we start to share our "opinions" as fact. Also, I want to challenge some people on their beliefs that may have been rooted in half-truths. We talked in detail about awareness last week, but didn't talk about important parts of created change this week, including self responsibility from all people.

At the end of the day my belief is with the company I started to -- #bethechange you wish to see in the world and the spreading of division and hate going on in a time of turmoil that we as a planet are going through is unacceptable.

Don't be a #socialmediawarrior - instead be a #changeagent with an #openmind

I want both my liberal and conservative friends alike to join me and I will be coming at this conversation from strictly a point of logic and hope. We are allowed to differ in opinions, but we have to separate emotion from logic. I can also invite people on to the stream to have a discussion live instead of just via comments so please feel free to join me, discuss, debate, argue, whatever. I just want to create an open forum to discuss the concept of truth and how dangerous the spreading of judgement and hate without true information can be. #bethechange.

Why is this important to me? I'm a free citizen that has a very open mind and self-educates exhaustively, and it is my right and my wish to do so. Also, with that though process I consider myself a voice of logic and kindness looking to constantly promote positivity despite all the division and hate.

Let's learn together. I will do my best to be searching different articles to determine what really is the truth, so we can all learn, including me, but at the end of the day I suggest tolerance, love, kindness over spreading hate and issues.

Jump on at 5:30 pm, as Anthony starts the stream with some basic thoughts and then I'll get to work fielding concepts and thoughts!

This time is subject to weekly time shifts based on guest availability.
