This is Jonathan Karl's third book on Trump, the three privately known together as the "Treason Trilogy." Karl is ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent. The book is Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party . You can get your copy here. The book is based on his interviews with Donald Trump and top Trump officials, and paints a picture of a chaotic and directionless White House under Trump's leadership. Karl argues that Trump personally led the charge to overthrow the government on January 6th and remains a clear and present danger to democracy. He also discusses the loyalty Trump demands from his supporters and the potential consequences if Trump were to be reelected in 2024. Karl concludes by urging voters to understand the stakes and the potential dangers of a Trump return to power. Today Bill highlights the work of the Laborers' International Union of North America. A union at the heart of the American Labor Movement.

Special for the day after Thanksgiving. What a president eats can tell you a lot about the man. What he serves to people at the White House is also revealing. All that is the subject of a new book by Alex Prud'homme, Dinner With The President: Food, Politics, and a History of Breaking Bread at the White House. You can buy it here. Prud'homme is the author, with his great aunt Julia Child of My Life in France, a New York Times bestseller and the inspiration for half of the movie, Julie and Julia. He's also written several important nonfiction books so he is well positioned to look at food and politics at the White House.Today Bill has a great holiday gift idea!

To commemorate the 60th anniversary of the JFK assassination we're setting the wayback machine to 2018 when I spoke with Helen O'Donnell. Helen is an accomplished author and historian as well as the daughter of President Kennedy's chief of staff Kenny O'Donnell -- you might recognize Kenny from Kevin Costner's portrayal of him in the stellar film about the Cuban Missile Crisis, Thirteen Days. Helen's new book -- out now -- is called Launching LBJ: How A Kennedy Insider Helped Define Johnson's Presidency, culled from Kenny O'Donnell's tapes and journals about the early days of the Johnson administration following Kennedy's assassination.

John Kennedy, Elizabeth Taylor, Sidney Poitier, Edward R. Murrow, James Earl Jones, Steven Spielberg, Laurence Fishburne, Robert Wagner, Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush and George Stevens, Sr., just a few of the people we meet in Bill's interview with George Stevens, Jr. In addition to working with his father, the legendary film director George Stevens. Sr., George Stevens, Jr. was a successful producer and director in Hollywood before being lured to Washington as a member of Edward R. Murrow's team at the United States Information Agency during the Kennedy administration. Stevens founded the American Film institute and created the Kennedy Center Honors. He ran those for 37 years, interacting with the greatest artists and performers of our time and presidents from Carter to Obama. He's captured it all in a new book, a memoir, entitled My Place in the Sun: Life in the Golden Age of Hollywood and Washington.

Today is all about the Fascism Files. The legacy news media has finally started reporting on Trump's fascism. Trump echoes Hitler by calling his political enemies "vermin." Trump allies are pre-screening loyalists to fill 54,000 government jobs, all intended to let Trump do whatever he wants, including remaining in office. Trump circulates post calling for citizen's arrest of Letitia James and Judge Engoron. Jenna Ellis says Trump never intended to leave office, and Sidney Powell describes what Trump's staffers told him about the election. Trump's plans for camps and deportations.

Brian Stelter is one of the top reporters covering the media. After covering media for The New York Times, he had a long career at CNN on the same beat as host of the weekly show, Reliable Services. He is a Special Correspondent for Vanity Fair. And the author of the new book, Network of Lies: The Epic Saga of Fox News, Donald Trump, and the Battle for American Democracy. You can buy a copy here. Bill and Brian explore the close relationship between Fox News and Donald Trump. Stelter discusses how Fox News hosts coordinated with White House officials to spread false information about voter fraud after the 2020 election. He also highlights the extent to which Fox News and Trump are intertwined, and how this relationship has influenced the network's coverage. Stelter argues that Fox News has become an extreme and anti-democratic outlet, and that the media as a whole is struggling to cover a radicalized Republican Party. He also touches on the coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict and the challenges faced by journalists reporting from the region.Today Bill gives a shoutout to the actors' union, SAG-AFTRA. They secured an historic settlement with the studios gaining compensation from streaming and protections from Artificial Intelligence.

The day after Donald Trump testified in his own defense in a New York courtroom, Bill talks to MSNBC and NBC News legal analyst Barbara McQuade. McQuade is a former US attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan and a professor at the University of Michigan law school. She is one of four great lawyers on very popular podcast, Sisters-in-Law. Barb and Bill covered a lot of ground. Former President Donald Trump testifying in his own defense in a courtroom is an unprecedented event. He attacked the judge, prosecutors, and the justice system during his testimony. Trump is facing 91 criminal counts in a string of cases, and it is challenging to keep track of all his legal challenges. McQuade believes that Trump's strategy is to protect his reputation in the court of public opinion rather than help himself legally. McQuade also discusses the possibility of Trump being found guilty in various cases and the potential consequences, including fines and the cancellation of business certificates. She also discusses the likelihood of Trump appealing a guilty verdict and the legal arguments he may use. Finally, McQuaid touches on cases challenging Trump's eligibility as a presidential candidate based on the 14th Amendment.Barbara McQuade has a new book coming out next year, Attack from Within: How Disinformation Is Sabotaging America.
