First up on today’s wide-ranging show, Ralph speaks to political scientist Adolph Reed about how American politics has started taking its cues from professional wrestling and how the left can rebuild itself. Then, we welcome Steve Silberstein from National Popular Vote to update us on their interstate compact’s progress. Finally, we’re joined by three interns from the American Museum of Tort Law — Dylan Bird, Gabriel Duffany, and Rachel Donovan — who discuss a rather unique summer assignment.
