Our hosts are joined by Louisiana native, and civil rights activist, Gary Chambers, to discuss how to break the cycle violence.&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><br /><br /></p> <p><strong>FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS:</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>1. During a Pentagon Prayer Breakfast last Wednesday, Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, read a fake bible verse that&rsquo;s actually from the Quentin Tarantino movie, Pulp Fiction.</strong></p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>2.

The Louisiana state House advanced a bill that would force unhoused people to choose between jail or a treatment program (rehab). If they choose treatment, they have to pay for it, and if they can&rsquo;t afford to pay, they&rsquo;ll be forced to do unpaid labor for the state.&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>5. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has shelved the SAVE Act in favor of other legislation that has a better chance at passing.
