This Sunday in #nerdland: Politics and Super Bowl 50.
First, we’ll start off with reactions to Saturday night’s GOP debate. Will Marco Rubio build on his momentum? Will Ted Cruz sway New Hampshire GOP voters to take him to another primary victory? Will Donald Trump continue to dominate the conversation? Our all-star panel of political strategists will weigh-in.
Then, a one-on-one with Flint Mayor Karen Weaver ahead of Hillary Clinton’s visit to the American city facing one of the worst man-made disasters in recent history.
And, Super Bowl Sunday! On the eve of her half-time performance, Beyonce dropped a surprise new video that took over the internet. Is this her boldest move yet? And with all eyes on Cam Newton, we’re going to go deep into a discussion about what’s really behind the antipathy many football fans feel towards one of the best players in the league today. Our panelists include:
- Dave Zirin, sports editors at The Nation Magazine
- Shana Renee Stephenson, founder & editor-in-chief of All Sports Everything
- Adam Howard, MSNBC reporter
- Ben Leber, former NFL linebackerå
All that, plus, Melissa’s Wake the Vote students join us to talk about their experience on the campaign trail.
