Summary

In a world of sound bite arguments, the most aggressive move is to listen, even if you expect to disagree. You might think you know former GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee... but there's more to this man than his politics. There's the Huckabee who accidentally became a pastor; the Huckabee who racially integrated his church; the Huckabee who befriends figures on the left. No matter your political persuasion, there's something in this conversation that will surprise, and maybe even delight you. This is part 2 of a 3-part miniseries taking an aggressive look at politics.
