Interview:


As we officially head into the final stretch with weeks to go until the midterm elections, we are taking the temperature of American democracy in this edition.


Mosheh had the opportunity to sit down with CBS Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett and elections expert David Becker to talk about their new book:  'The Big Truth.'


In our interview, Becker and Garrett delve into the dangers of the escalating rhetoric (like calling your political opponents “enemies”), the persistent 2020 election fraud claims and how they have warped views of the validity of American elections. They lay out the dire consequences it could have on next month's midterm elections and beyond…for our democracy.


We also compare our current challenges to the 1960s and 70s--the last time it felt like this country was coming apart. They explain why this time is more dangerous. But, rest assured, it is not all doom and gloom. At the end, we talk about the solutions. If you care about this country and our democracy, this is an important listen.
