Today's politics and culture wars are intertwined with pro wrestling. More than people realize. Since the summer of 2015 when Donald Trump came down the escalator to announce he was running for president, plenty of people, of course, have noted this relationship that he’s had with WWE owner Vince McMahon and his links to professional wrestling. In our latest, Scott talks with Jason Myles, host of This is Revolution, about his new documentary called “Kayfabe” about pro-wrestling and Trump’s politics.
