McGhee's book "The Sum of Us" is one of the best, most informative books I've read in the last few years.

Seriously one of the best books I’ve ever read. Thank you for having McGhee on the show! It’s so simple - raise up the groups who have been denied, and we are all raised up.

7:38 Thank you so much for mentioning Paul Wellstone! One of the greatest American statesmen of my long lifetime. How I miss him, I suppose now around 20 years since his more-than-suspicious crash. He lives on in thousands of hearts, mine included.
