There is no hotter topic than politics. And with the midterm elections coming up, Evan Meyer chats with Pete Peterson to talk about what politics looks like and discusses important topics, including perceived threats from overseas, the COVID pandemic, and social issues that continue to drive US politics and policies. They also share their insights on how truth has become subjective and how disagreements can be resolved through humility, especially on issues where we hold different positions. Tune in as they recall lessons learned, or failures thereof, from previous generations and how historical awareness influences how we handle the crisis we face today.
