Episode: “Beat the NRA.”

It was written by Dan Pfeiffer and discussed the forces in politics that contributed to Donald Trump's rise. It also shared lessons learned during the Obama era for Democrats to apply in the future.

"

It is called Yes, We Still Can: Politics in the Age of Obama, Twitter, and Trump.

And it's about how Barack Obama and all of us navigated the forces in politics that ended up creating Trump, whether that's the Republicans going crazy, changes in media, Twitter.

I got a lot to say about Fox News and the Trump media in there.

But also I try to take from that some lessons that we learned and how Democrats could apply those to the future for the battles that come in 2018 and 2020.

And if you like Pods of America or at least one half of the Thursday Pods of America, I think you'll like this book.
