The Bulwark Podcast - David Axelrod: Change Agent

Voters have a real hunger for something beyond the constant state of pugilism and the weaponizing of every problem.

Plus, MAGA's perpetual dumping on America, Obama's 2004 convention speech, and staying Zen while debating on CNN.  David Axelrod joins Tim Miller.
