Racially Motivated mass shooting in Buffalo; Policy on Ethical Returns

This country is once again dealing with more mass shootings, two as a matter of fact: one in Buffalo at a grocery store and one in California at a church.

The suspect, an 18-year-old White man, has a record of suspicious behavior and was said to be in Buffalo the day before the shooting took place. He actually drove 200 miles from his hometown near the Pennsylvania border to Buffalo. And to add insult to injury, Tucker Carlson states that the "Great Replacement" theory is already happening, meaning the exodus of white people is happening (another conspiracy theory).

Right now, Arizona is in a battle to keep voter suppression away from its state, and it may lose the biggest event in sports again.  Joe reminds the audience that the state actually did lose the Super Bowl in 1993 (for the 1992 season) and was moved to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, because Arizona didn't support the observation of MLK's birthday as a national holiday. Will Arizona do the right thing this time? Hmmmmm......wait and see.
