Rick kicks off this episode with a blistering rant on Trump and his blatant, idiotic buffoonery. It’s so good, you’ll be glad it’s at the top of the show! Then Rick dives into a conversation with authors Sarah Vowell and Casey Cep about their contributions to the new Michael Lewis anthology, "Who is Government? The Untold Story of Public Service."

Through their compelling profiles, Vowell and Cep highlight the essential yet under appreciated roles these individuals play in upholding democracy. Who is Government? The Untold Story of Public Service, available now.
