The Late Night Lockdown: Episode 118
Recorded on May 29, 2022 - It's Memorial Day weekend, and our Hosts, Amiee and Matthew, review their past month of social/current events and experiences. From attending the Women's March on May 14th 2022 at City Hall, Los Angeles, in support of Reproductive Rights for ALL,  the constant Gun Violence issues and mass shootings in America, the Lunar Eclipse, experiences on the Metro LA these days, to Amiee having a "psychic" moment caught on the recording while the news was on in the background.
 It's a 'Slippery Slope' from here with the current attack (and one may argue - the war on women and uterus' everywhere throughout history and societies since the dawn of Mankind) on Women's Rights and People with Uterus' Human Rights being taken away. Roe V. Wade is being dismantled in front of our eyes - a law, that has been in place for your right to PRIVACY for 50 years, is being taken away and that is just the beginning if Republicans have it their way. How can we solve these problems without ANYONE's human rights being infringed upon or is that impossible in today's culture and society? Answer: We need to pass the E.R.A. = Equal Rights Amendment. Please research and support www.EqualRightsAmendment.org and follow @ERAcoalition for more info.
"First they come for my Rights, then they come for Yours."
How uncomfortable is riding the Metro in LA and what is the next Mayor of LA going to actually do with the infrastructure issues?

Amiee and Matt also cover the Ulvade School Shooting in Texas and Gun Violence as whole in America, how it has affected both their lives and experiences differently over the 20+ years of mass shootings happening in America. Did you know that Upland Game Animals (aka Pheasants) are protected MORE by Gun Regulations than HUMAN CHILDREN right now? And that is a FACT folks!  Enough with just the "Thoughts and Prayers." This has always been a PUBLIC Health crisis - when are WE, as a society and nation, going to actually DO SOMETHING about the ludicrous Gun Violence in America and the lack of protection? For over 20+ years this has been going on ever since Columbine and yet nothing has been done to really protect or make a difference for our children and our society. However, many other countries HAVE with actual solutions that have worked, such as: gun regulations, universal background checks, red flag systems, mandatory training and licensese, and making military/war-type firearms, such as the AR-15 and AK-47s, illegal, off the market and off their country's streets, which has resulted in positive outcomes evident by the continued data and statistics. "The first step in solving a problem is recognizing that there IS one."
Our hosts, dissect the 2nd Amendment and what the Founding Father's ACTUALLY, factually meant, by their written words, when they created our country's beloved Democracy and Constitution.
