Summary
There are fewer than 1,000 billionaires in the U.S. Why do they matter so much? New Yorker staff writer Evan Osnos joins Preet to discuss his new book, “The Haves and Have-Yachts,” which paints a broad portrait of the lives of the ultrarich, the state of American oligarchy, and the dire wealth disparity in this country.
Plus, Preet answers questions about the fake video showing Trump hitting Bruce Springsteen with a golf ball, and whether you can protest policies by not paying your taxes.
