How to Read Politics and Politicians

Jamie is joined by New York Times opinion columnist and Pulitzer Prize winner Carlos Lozada to discuss his new book, The Washington Book: How to Read Politics and Politicians. The two discuss how to read a politician’s memoir and the failures of The 1619 Project.

The Agenda:
—Does everyone use a ghostwriter?
—Insights from the acknowledgments section
—Inside Obama’s presidency
—Has The 1619 Project harmed the NYT’s brand?
—The worst books by politicians
