World on Edge: Is Trump Turning America into a Mafia State?

Is it authoritarianism yet? Many may be asking this question about America, but Jeffrey Kopstein thinks we should be asking a different one. 

He joins Steve and Janice Stein to discuss his book "The Assault on the State,” if Trump is turning America into a “family business,” the global shift from the rule of law to the rule of men, how Trump and Viktor Orban and Benjamin Netanyahu are following in Putin’s footsteps, and why when modern states collapse it can lead to arbitrary rule by authoritarian "fathers" and their extended households.
