YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In an emotional week for the nation, Clay welcomes journalist, author and political maven Jonathan Allen () to discuss the political forces that brought us to our current moment and where they might take us. With justice done after the Chauvin trial, and President Biden’s approval rating sitting near 60%, there are some reasons to hope that we might be getting closer to getting along than we’ve been in years. But are the trends we’re seeing the result of luck, or is a new majority coalescing around the moderate policies of the Biden administration?
