Joe Lieberman has been in politics for most of his adult life. First as a Connecticut State Senator, then as the state's Attorney General, and finally, as a U.S. Senator for 24 years. A self-proclaimed "centrist," over the course of his career, he saw the middle of the political spectrum transformed from a place everyone was trying to meet into a place no one would be seen dead. But for Lieberman, the ability to eschew party dogma was a source of power, a journey he documents in his 2021 book, The Centrist Solution: How We Made Government Work, And How We Could Make It Work Again. He joins Mike for an extended interview on today's show.
