Over the past few
months President Trump has directed much of his anti-media attack at CNN,
publicly attacking the network for its coverage of his administration. But
according to Carlos Maza of Vox.com
the truth is, a lot of the feud between Trump and CNN is theater. Carlos joins me today on the show to talk all
about how CNN has played an important role in mainstreaming and normalizing
Trump’s misinformation, and why when you treat politics like a sport, you end
up with news coverage that cares more about fighting and drama than it does
about serious truth telling.
To most Americans, the
Constitution is a sacred document and considered the foundation of our

In his latest book The Framer’s Coup: The Making of the United States Constitution Michael J. Klarman narrates how the Framers' clashing interests
shaped the Constitution, and as a result American history itself, and explains
how they managed to persuade a divided country to adopt it. Michael joins me
today on the show to talk all about the book and how we have lived with the
consequences, both positive and negative, of the Constitution ever since.
