    A master class in level-headed politics with Baltimore's "DEI" mayor

    On this episode of our acclaimed podcast, former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and former Philly Mayor Michael Nutter sit down with Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, one of the youngest mayors in the country. In March, a cargo ship lost power and smashed into Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge, thrusting Mayor Scott into the national spotlight amidst ugly insinuations that the tragedy was a result of Scott being a "D.E.I. mayor.” Find out how he creatively shut down the criticisms, as Mayor Scott takes our hosts through the tragedy of that night, as well as detailing his city's stunning success in reversing the trend of shooting victims and fatalities in Baltimore. He even digs into the hilarious bet he has with the youth of his city as they try to unearth the mayor's D.J. alias. (Hint: he ain't worried.) As cities go, so goes the nation!
