59:15Now PlayingAmerican politics today has been marred by increasing levels of “us vs. them” thinking, leading to the destruction of our social fabric and democracy. But critical thinking, facts, and reason can lead us out of that path. Brian Tyler Cohen is a YouTuber, podcaster, and MSNBC contributor who has interviewed a high number of influential figures in our culture today, from ambassadors to politicians at the highest levels like Elizabeth Warren and President Joe Biden. In his new upcoming book, “Shameless,” he discusses America’s increasing dysfunction and what today’s leaders can take from the present moment to create a better future. In this episode, Brian Tyler Cohen joins guest moderator and Reason magazine’s Editor-at-Large Nick Gillespie to discuss his book, the future of democracy in America, and how our political landscape can be rebalanced.
