How BLM and Covid Are Wrecking the Theater

In this clip from this week's episode, John McWhorter fills in for Glenn and talks with actor Clifton Duncan. Clifton tells John how opting out of COVID vaccination, protesting what he sees as COVID protocol overreach, and speaking out about race have profoundly damaged his career in the entertainment industry. It's not just Clifton who's at risk. Theater attendance is way down, and some argue that the influence of BLM-style politics accounts for this newfound unpopularity.
