In this episode of On Brand, Donny sits down with print journalist for The Atlantic, and former chief national correspondent for The New York Times Magazine, Mark Leibovich. Together they dive into Mark’s writing process, masculinity in politics, and why the Trump Hotel was the perfect backdrop for Mark’s most recent book, Thank You for Your Servitude: Donald Trump and the Price of Submission. The duo also discusses the commonalities between the NFL and Washington and how Mark feels about the upcoming midterms. Additionally, Donny starts off with his weekly "ups" and "downs," naming Pete Buttigieg, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Will Smith, and Gen Z in this week's Brands of the Week.
