I also talk about this in the book

I have a book coming out this fall that details the rise of all of it.

What's your book called? It's called The Steal. The Steal. And can people preorder it now?

I believe they can, although I think I'm supposed to be doing some swishy rollout for all of it on--in social media.

Heather Cox Richardson. That's this show. But after Heather Cox Richardson, it's Posse of America. Wait a second. That's this show.

Posse of America.

So, you've written a book coming out next month. Yeah. That's a sermon on Isaiah for America's 250th birthday.

On June 16th, called The Crooked Places Made Straight, Reflections on the Moral Meaning of America.

And that's what I work for in the Senate. It's what I talk about in this book, The Crooked Places Made Straight.

When I wrote my book on Trump in America in 2020, I guess it came out. Yeah. 2020. Yeah. Right before the pandemic.

Which is less welcome, the Jill Biden memoir or the Condoleezza Rice oped?

Honestly, the Jill Biden memoir.

Ben has written an incredible, timely book about that argument... The book is called All We Say, A History of the United States in 15 Speeches.

I read the book... I absolutely fucking loved the book. It is incredible. Everyone should read it.

Go buy the book seriously... it's a fantastic book.

He's got a new book about speeches. American speeches and American identity.

My guest today is the co-creator and long-time host of the smash hit Men in Blazers podcast ... a New York Times best-selling author whose most recent book is called We Are the World Cup buy it now.

I wrote the book if you've had the memories of the World Cup it will reignite them again as powerfully as you did the first time and if you're a newcomer planning to watch the World Cup it will give you the depth the nuances to understand and feel all of it.

The book is We Are the World Cup. So pick up a copy now.

We Are the World Cup is my latest work, and I hope it helps people see the magic and the global unity that the tournament brings, even if only for a fleeting moment.

In my book We Are the World Cup I talk about how the tournament acts like a global eclipse that sweeps the entire world and holds it in its thrall for 39 straight days.

New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan talk to Tommy about their explosive new book, Regime Change, which is full of fascinating revelations about Trump's second term White House.

No, it's a really good book. I really spent the day just inhaling it.

Congrats on the book and for getting this thing into the world. I think you wrote, you have over a thousand interviews. That is remarkable. And the result is just this incredible page turner that provides a level of insight into how Donald Trump operates and how this administration works that I just haven't found everywhere else.

One of the things we tried to convey in this book, and I think we did, is that this is a fundamentally different term than Trump 1.0. This is a very different presidency. It's not 2017 anymore.

I cannot recommend it highly enough to our audience who are desperate to try to understand Donald Trump, the man, this administration, the decisionmaking process, and also just to, I think we even read things that we knew again, but in a way that puts together the whole scene and helps you understand all the different motivations and people involved. It's an extraordinary piece of work.

We have new reporting last week that Trump's literally going around. I guess it's in Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan's new book, Regime Change. Trump literally has like, is it a glue gun? It's some kind of gorilla glue or crazy glue that he's using it to apply, I guess, more gold objects to the mantelpieces and the walls of the White House.
