Up next Lawrence Odonnell talks about his book playing with fire. And the transformation of american politics, which recalls the turmoil of the 1968 president ial election. We recorded this in washington to d. C. In 2017. This 1968 election, was the first when i was alert for. I was in high school, i remember zero of the 1964 election, just the one right before that.
