Josh Shapiro Is Calm but Not Cool

In This Episode

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro stops by the studio to talk to Jon Lovett about Trump’s war in Iran, growing antisemitism and Islamophobia in America, and what it’ll take for Democrats to learn how to do big things again. The two then unpack what it takes for a politician to honestly change their mind, ask the Governor’s sister — who was sitting in the studio — to fact-check his claims about growing up as a troublemaker, and debate whether a calm, collected approach to politics can also be cool in our current political moment.
