All right, everybody, welcome back to the All In podcast. We are super pleased to have with us today.

Senator Joe Manchin is joining us today here on the All-In interview, and Chumap and I will be interviewing him on his new book, Dead Center in Defense of Common Sense.

A great book. Welcome to the program, Joe Manchin. I know you like to be called Joe. So Joe, welcome for the program. Jason, thank you. And it's great to be with you and Shemoth. And I've followed you all and you've been unbelievable what you've put out and some of the people you've had on. It's been very entertaining, very interesting and very thoughtful. So anxious to be. Thanks. And we have a tradition tradition here I don't know how often you watch

the interview show but we always try to get a personalized gift for each of our our guests and so in the book you talked about your first car your 19604 if you could find that if you could find that thing for me there's a bulletback I can't find the car well there it is with the white interior Oh my God. Can we buy it? No, no, you got it. It's in your driveway right now. When you get out of your office there, it'll be waiting for you by your yacht. Let me tell you that car. Oh, by my yacht. Yeah, I got a bit. It's a $200,000 trawler. it's a fishing trawler correct it's a troller, Joe, what Jason has just proved is he has not read the book, but he looked at the pictures in the middle.

That's all he's done.

No, I did the-it-you-

It's ripping off the pictures of the middle.

No, I don't have the physical book.

I did the audio book.

But, Joe, you did the right thing.

You read it yourself. I did. A lot of authors, you know, they try to get talk about it doing it, but it makes it so much more personal.

Hey, Jason, I didn't know I was supposed to do that. And all of a sudden, my daughter Heather says, Dad, you got to show up at the studio and start reading your book. I said, how did I say, why do I have to do that? she says in the contract.

I said, I didn't see that.

She said, I didn't show it to you.

It's the part of the contract.

It's like six or seven hours of reading.

It took 20 hours. I said, I didn't see that. She said, I didn't show it to you. It's the part of the contract.

It's like six or seven hours of reading. It took 20 hours. 20 hours. So three days, three, four days. Four days. Let me tell you what's the best thing I've ever done. It made me reminisce everything we put in the book. It's just, Chamatha, you haven't done this yet because you haven't written your book. I'm not really in audio books.

I read the book.

Look, I have it.

I like to have the physical pages.

I borrow it. It's just, Chimatha, you haven't done this yet because you haven't written your book. I'm not really into audiobooks. I read the book.
