    Trigger Warning: What Did We Learn About Guns? (Full)

    erremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley close out the Trigger Warning series with a full recap of what four guests taught them about guns in America. 44,000 gun deaths a year. 62% are suicides — disproportionately lonely rural veterans. The rest is mostly young men killing each other in concentrated zones. Richie and Josiah brought the moral framework. Stephen Orr mapped the three-trigger progression. Marie Newman followed the money. Parisa proved $500 million could harden every school. The throughline: this is a crisis of men, not a crisis of guns. And the system profits from leaving it unsolved.

    Harden Schools, Fix Education, Put Purpose Before Pills

    Stronger doors, working locks, bulletproof glass — $500 million could make every American school safe. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley break down why that hasn't happened, then pivot to a harder problem: schools that don't teach. Miami-Dade has buildings at roughly 30% occupancy turning out graduates who can't read, and political resistance blocks every attempt to fix it. They debate where they disagree — check-ins, legislation, enforcement — and land on a throughline: purpose, not pills. Community intervention in the 50 zip codes where violence concentrates, mental health infrastructure, and giving broken men a reason to stay alive. Timestamps: (00:00) Locks, learning, and the way forward – the full episode roadmap(04:12) Education crisis: Miami-Dade and beyond – ~30% occupancy, low proficiency, zero accountability(06:39) Curiosity, teaching, and the love of the sea – why information access alone isn't the answer(14:05) Where they disagree – Jerremy and Dave split on enforcement and legislation(18:21) Pro-human gun safety – check-ins, kindness, and keeping people connected(22:32) Purpose not pills – community intervention in the 50 worst zip codes(25:03) Wrap-up and call to action – where the series lands 🌍 Connect with us: Instagram | YouTube | X 🎧 Listen to Episodes → Here

    Gun Violence: Human Rights & Broken Men

    44,000 Americans die by guns every year. 62% are suicides — disproportionately lonely rural veterans. The rest is mostly young men killing each other in concentrated pockets of violence. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley recap their full guns-in-America series with guests Richie, Josiah, Stephen Orr, former Congresswoman Marie Newman, and Parisa. The throughline: this isn't a gun problem. It's a broken-men problem, a fatherlessness problem, and a campaign finance problem that rewards doing nothing.

    Do Algorithms Keep Us Crazy While Schools Lack Basic Locks? (Full)

    Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley talk school safety with Paresa Noble. Dave, who helped build early social media in the late 1990s, says algorithms amplify division by keeping people crazy. He argues for the gray middle: model positivity and see constant connectivity as a generational issue kids may later view as crazy. Paresa explains Shield Our Schools unites people by seeking info from multiple angles. Most want the same things. Uvalde and media finger-pointing led her to practical entry-delay measures like upgraded locks and ballistic window film, plus mental health. Timestamps: (00:00) Trigger Warning – Paresa Noble(01:28) School Safety as Low Hanging Fruit – achievable common ground(03:25) Cost of Protecting Schools – the financial side(06:02) Common Security Moves & Assessment Process – standard approaches(09:36) Controversial Security Products – what to consider(11:01) Under-Resourced Schools & Funding – the challenges(14:12) Engaging School Boards – building support(16:55) Overcoming Resistance & The Olive Branch – handling pushback(19:54) Mental Health as Root Cause – deeper issues(23:46) Social Media, Phones & Youth Mental Health – connectivity effects(30:22) The Role of Parents – their importance(33:57) Getting Parents Involved in Schools – how to do it(37:35) The Hard Truth About Sustained Effort – long term reality(39:43) What Gives You Hope? – positive notes(44:22) Paresa's Origin Story – how it started(48:57) Lightning Round – quick questions(50:39) What Did You Learn? – reflections(50:45) Bipartisan School Safety Measures – cross party agreement(51:49) Dave's Takeaway: Priorities & Anger – shifting focus(53:15) Shame on Us: Funding & Priorities – hard look(53:59) A Ministry: Getting Involved – deeper involvement(54:19) Schools Without Locks – current state(54:48) Closing & Subscribe – wrap up Connect: Paresa Noble – Shield Our Schools | Website | Instagram | LinkedIn | Threads 🌍 Connect with us: Instagram | YouTube | X 🎧 Listen to Episodes → Here
