Gun Control Discussion and Transgender issues

Politicians on the left and right alike are using the horrific Orlando mass shooting to further their own political agenda on gun control, but are stricter laws really the key to preventing mass murders and overall gun violence? And recently a woman militantly paraded up and down the aisles in a local Target denouncing transgender bathroom access claiming that we're on the verge of an epidemic of bathroom sexual assault, but do the facts support her claim? And what about all those pay equity statistics and the war on women? How do we know if women really are paid less than men and what’s the best approach for achieving equitable pay practices? Join Valerie for this special episode where she’ll give you the facts behind the headlines and share her thoughts on a path forward on some of the most controversial topics in the news.
