Massacre Murder & Mayhem On The Edge Of The Pacific; Venice Pulse Episode 13 with Jim Buck

In what was meant to be their joyful “Holiday” episode, Sandy and Chuck actually engage in a candid discussion with political analyst, writer and returnee guest Jim Buck about the murder of Rob Reiner and the tragic massacre on Bondi Beach in Australia. They delve into controversial statements made by Donald Trump, the implications of mental health issues, and the dynamics within families dealing with addiction. The trio express hope for change and a deeper societal understanding of these complex issues. The hosts also talk about how frustrating local politics in Los Angeles is and can be. Finally, Jim discusses his upcoming book: “A Smattering of White Lives Mattering”. He touches upon misinterpretations of historical narratives - particularly those regarding white servitude and slavery. Happy Holidays everybody!
