About this episode

The midterm elections are just months away, and right on cue the culture wars are raging. Michigan Democratic lawmaker Mallory McMorrow found herself in the middle of this pitched battle after defending the LGBTQ community. A Republican colleague accused her of wanting to “groom and sexualize” children. McMorrow's blistering response on the floor of the state senate has been viewed over 15 million times, prompting the question of whether she's offered fellow Democrats a blueprint to navigate thorny social issues usually dominated by Republicans.  Also featured in today's show: Director Heather O'Neill, whose new documentary No Ordinary Life profiles five veteran CNN camerawomen who traveled the world covering conflicts and overcoming sexism. And: author, entrepreneur and professor Scott Galloway examines the impact of Elon Musk's deal to buy Twitter.
