Show Notes
On this episode of America At Night with McGraw Milhaven, McGraw is joined by Luis Valdes, national spokesperson for Gun Owners of America, to discuss shifting attitudes within pro–Second Amendment circles, including reactions to recent debates surrounding Alex Pretti and changing views on carrying firearms. Valdes outlines where gun-rights advocates stand today and what these shifts could mean for future policy and activism.
Next, Elena Schlossberg, Executive Director of the Coalition to Protect Prince William County, joins the program to examine the rapid expansion of data centers across America. She explains how these massive facilities impact local communities, infrastructure, energy use, and land development, and why residents are increasingly pushing back.
Later, Peter Ames Carlin, acclaimed author, discusses his books “The Name of This Band Is R.E.M.” and “Tonight in Jungleland: The Making of Born to Run.” Carlin reflects on the creative journeys of R.E.M. and Bruce Springsteen, offering behind-the-scenes stories and insight into how these iconic artists shaped American music.
