Episode 6: Tom Daschle, Trent Lott & Ernest Hollings - Solutions

Episode 6 changes our focus from examining the relationships of several figures of the era to looking at concrete solutions to the divisions gripping our government and our society, These ideas come from interviews from two books written by United States Senators. 

"Crisis Point" by two former  Senate Majority Leaders from different parties, Tom Daschle and Trent Lott.  They discuss the need to return to regular order, and a five day work week for Congress. They stress the power of relationships and the need to create an atmosphere to foster them across party lines. A return to the old school of politics. 

"Making Government Work Again" by the late Senator Ernest Hollings, here he discusses the influence of money in the system and ways to change it. Plus his ideas about trade and the influence of the media on our politics and our society.

Plus a look at a shameful event and smear campaign against U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein from within her own party for simply reaching across the aisle and being nice to a collogue on the Judiciary Committee. Why we should resist the temptation to just pick sides and penalize those who do try and make our system work again.
