Major league teams go on strike

Last night, the Milwaukee Bucks left the Orlando Magic waiting on the court in game 5 of the first round of the NBA playoffs. They were the first to go on strike in support of the protests in Kenosha over the shooting of Jacob Blake. That led to all three NBA playoff games last night being postponed along with the WNBA, Major League Soccer and the MLB had a few teams, including the Milwaukee Brewers, who also refused to play. Plus, the political presidential parallels between now and 1968. And, the economic costs of closing schools. Guests: Axios' Kendall Baker, Hans Nichols, and Erica Pandey.
