The hosts discuss the book 'Romney a Reckoning' and Mitt Romney's characteristics, express disappointment in politicians for backing Trump, and transition to a discussion about Twitter's evolution and Elon Musk's role. They also introduce the podcast 'Land of the Giants: The Twitter Fantasy'.
On his way out of the United States Senate, Mitt Romney gave one reporter unprecedented access to his emails, texts, and journals. McKay Coppins, author of Romney: A Reckoning, explains why.
This episode was produced by Jon Ehrens, edited by Amina Al-Sadi, fact-checked by Hady Mawajdeh and Laura Bullard, engineered by Rob Byers and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
