Ep. 282 – A Tale of Two Commencement Speeches

Kira analyzes and contrasts two very different college commencement speeches – Joe Biden’s speech at Morehouse and Harrison Butker’s address to Benedictine College. What makes a good commencement speech? What was the difference between the President’s address and Butker’s? And what about THE CONTROVERSY? Did Butker cross a line? Kira thinks through all of it this week. Links to speeches below. Chime in at jlty@protonmail.com
