Summary
Seth takes a closer look at Republicans continuing to spread conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, intimidating people trying to vote and preemptively claiming that the results must be illegitimate if they lose the midterm elections.
Then, author John Irving talks about writing his longest book The Last Chairlift, addressing sexual and gender politics in his novels and writing his 1985 book The Cider House Rules, as a warning of what could happen if abortions were illegal.
