Between the Scenes - How Democrats Can Avoid a Primary S**tshow

Jon Stewart rips off the mask of corporate “values” and examines how corporations will perform caring about issues like DEI, climate change, or patriotism, as long as it means bigger profits, and how quickly they backtrack on those moral stands when it no longer suits their bottom line. Jon is also joined by basketball analyst, host, ESPN reporter, and NY Knicks Radio analyst, Monica NcNutt, who breaks down her viral debate with Stephen A. Smith about Caitlin Clark and the WNBA. She discusses the larger underlying issues of gender, race, and class that impact the way people talk about women’s basketball as well as the WNBA’s journey to this moment of boosted popularity and what new fans of the league should know about the women who have spent the last 30 years building it.
