Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Jim Newton joins us to discuss his new book, Man of Tomorrow: The Relentless Life of Jerry Brown. The book covers the modern political and cultural history of California and is essential reading for anyone interested in our state. You'll learn how California was transformed from a swing state to one of the most progressive states in the country. You'll hear about Brown's and Newsom's relationships with Trump. And you'll find out how a "cheap" governor made California governable again.
