Episode Synopsis

They were caregivers and protectors and helpers, running an errand or doing a favor or finishing out a shift, when their paths crossed with a young man driven by racism and hatred and inane theories. In a flash, the ordinariness of their day was broken at Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo, where in and around the supermarket’s aisles, a symbol of the mundane was transformed to a scene of mass murder. John Stolnis remembers the victims of this terrible tragedy. Kevin Carr gives us his thoughts on the new Netflix offering, "Senior Year'.  The outcomes of House primary contests held in Idaho, Kentucky, North Carolina, Oregon and Pennsylvania are not likely to offer hints of which party will control the chamber next year.

And we'll talk about Kentucky specifically with Louisville Courier-Journal political reporter Morgan Watkins. And how will Vladimir Putin react to Sweden and Finland joining NATO? Professor Peter Rutland, an expert in Russian politics from Connecticut Wesleyan University, joins us to offer his expertise.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
