Summary

We peel back the onion on media reporting a little -- how do journalists balance breaking news for their outlets vs saving a story for a book? Then how do Jonathan and Alex see what's going on with the GOP today? Will this moment pass? How does the world view our democracy and how close to the edge are we? And what's a conversation that they had reporting the book that you might not have heard yet?

0:53.6	the book is a chronicle that should cause future readers to ponder how American leaders
0:59.2	in the 21st century lost the ability and will to govern. I mean, do you agree with that or
1:06.8	with what the Atlantic was saying about this? It's pretty stunning.
1:10.7	Yeah, we felt really heartened by the George Packer piece in the Atlantic and we feel that it really
1:18.8	captures a lot of the spirit of what we're getting at in this book Joe and we are alarmed and I think that if you
