Great show and a great episode
However, It is so sad that we even need this.
Great Show with the Great Keith Ellison
Can’t wait to read AG Ellison’s book! Such an insightful & brilliant man. Excellent questions from you, Jonathan! I will never forget the line from the closing arguments in the Chauvin trial: George Floyd didn’t die because his heart was too big, he died because Derek Chauvin’s heart was too small!
As a footnote, I was a barista at a health food coop in Minneapolis when Rep Ellison was running for office and I had the great pleasure of serving him many times & enjoyed speaking with him. He’s very approachable & kind. He often used our little cafe area to work on his campaign.
I listen to all your shows Jonathan, keep up the excellent work! I love you & I love your Aunt Gloria!
Obnoxious, condescending, arrogant…. I could go on & on
Capehart is everything wrong with journalism.
