We begin the show with U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern in the wake of the Nashville school shooting that left six dead — including three kids. Will a Republican-controlled House take any steps?

Also, why was Richard Gere hugging the congressman on the steps of the Capitol?

Then, a tour of a new exhibit as MASS MoCA called "to see oneself at a distance," with artists Suneil Sanzgiri and Tu Le.

And we take an informal poll: Red Sox or Yankees? It's opening day doe Major League Baseball. The 413 has divided allegiances. Where do your allegiances lie?
