In this extended interview with Elex Michaelson, Murphy talks about his past clients like Jeb Bush, Arnold Schwarzenegger, John McCain, Mitt Romney and more.

And, he breaks news that he'll soon be hosting a podcast with Democratic strategist David Axelrod & wrote a screenplay about President Trump.
