Senator Chris Murphy joins Sam to talk about keeping plants alive and why he’s been walking across the state of Connecticut for ten years, now with titanium screws in his knees!They discuss his new book, Crisis of the Common Good and debate whether it is a sequel to Heated Rivalry (he is adamant it isn’t). Senator Murphy explains why Americans are lonelier than they’ve ever been, and why President Trump is richer than he’s ever been before. They talk the skyrocketing pay of CEOS, and why those CEOs are building secret bunkers because they know their products will destroy the world. They both insist they will never become part of the gerontocracy and unpack why there are so many young people in the Connecticut State House.
