We were joined in our first hour by Elbert Guillory to discuss legal and historical aspects in the cases of Michael Brown, Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd as a part of the larger conversation on the legitimacy of the ongoing protests.

In our second hour we spoke with Michael Krieger about the historical significance, and perhaps inevitability, of the ongoing political crisis. We also talked about the question of the recent economic turbulence, what the oscillating jobs numbers mean, and when we should expect to see deeper fissures in the economic systems intrinsic to the current world order.

We were delighted to be joined by Jesse Ventura for the first time to talk about his history in governance, how he would handle the protests today, and what changed his perspective on the ongoing protests -- which started only blocks from where he grew up.
