Rick Sanchez reports on California’s deadly school shooting and presents some facts about gun violence in America. Then RT America’s Brigida Santos joins from California with the details before “On Contact” host and author Chris Hedges shares his analysis of the role of guns and gun violence in the American national identity. He argues that the “rupture of social bonds, atomization and alienation” instills a will to “self-annihilation” in shooters and that the US culture fetishizes weapons and glorifies violence.
Broadcasting icon Larry King joins Rick Sanchez to weigh in on the politics of impeachment. Plus, professor of history Gerald Horne weighs in on the BRICS summit in Brasilia, Brazil and how it could point to the end of US hegemony.
