The Scum Also Rises (with Douglas Brinkley)

Douglas Brinkley is one of the nation's foremost presidential historians. A professor at Rice University, political commentator, and the author of forty books, Brinkley joins Preet to discuss the historic nature of the upcoming election, and the precedent for a political figure like Donald Trump. 

Plus, ever wondered what’s in that piece of paper the jury hands to the judge before a verdict? Why is Trump heading to Madison Square Garden? What are Rudy Giuliani’s most valuable possessions… and why are they all watches?
