Episode 81: The Power of Critical Race Theory (featuring Kate Jackson Cruz)
Available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeartRadio.
In this episode, we examine Critical Race Theory--the framework that Republicans across the country are trying to ban. Adjunct Professor, scholar, and Ph.D. candidate Kate Jackson Cruz joins us for this conversation. We also talk about the pending ouster of Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney from Republican leadership due to her criticism of Trump as well as her potential Trump-endorsed replacement New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, the recent rise and fall of Dogecoin, and the suspicious timing of 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star Porsha Williams' engagement to her former costar's ex husband.
