Say It Ain’t So, Joe

This week, Joe Biden accepts the Democratic nomination and we devote all of the opening segment to the just ended Democratic Convention. Then, this may sound a bit inside baseball (inside Ivy League baseball), but stick with it, because it has implications for cancel culture, affirmative action, and a host of other issues that stem from the way higher education is conducted in the U.S. We're joined by Ambassador Victor Ashe, who is running for a seat on the Yale Corporation, the tightly controlled and opaque governing body that runs Yale University. The policies they institute have wide ranging implications for schools and for our culture at large. Then, WSJ columnist Gerald Baker joins us to discuss some of the topics he's been writing about including defunding the police, the protests, and the Presidential election. We've got Ricochet member @JennaStocker as this week's LPoW winner for her post Minneapolis Isn’t Lost – Yet -- we wonder why? Finally, some thoughts on Steve Bannon and the prospect of life returning to normal. Music from this week's show: the last great american dynasty by Taylor Swift
