あらすじ・解説
President-elect Trump's pick to lead the Pentagon claims the military and its leaders are "too woke". What does that really mean? And is diversity and equity in the armed forces really the threat Pete Hegseth claims it is? Victor speaks with two combat veterans – Retired Army Captain Mary Tobin and Retired Army Major General Dana Pittard - whose personal stories suggest otherwise. Plus, a family in Missouri is pleading for both the outgoing governor and incoming governor of the state to reverse their pledge to release a former officer convicted of killing their son. Both leaders say they're considering clemency for Eric Devalkenaere. Victor has an emotional conversation with Cameron Lamb's parents, Aqil and Laurie Bey. For the first time, Chicago has elected members of its school board. Oscar and Grammy award-winning artist "Rhymefest" is one of them, and he speaks with Victor about the new role and his latest project. And the creator of the "North American Indigenous Songbook” joins Victor to explain the project’s vision and how the death of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement inspired it.
