As Americans prepare to vote in the most important Midterm election in our 242 year history, we sit down with legendary actor, director, producer, writer and activist Rob Reiner -- someone who knows a thing or two about politics, social unrest, culture wars, and taking on a racist, misogynistic, anti-Semitic bigot from Queens.

And we take a look back at an iconic book and something America needs now more than ever -- "Profiles in Courage" by John F. Kennedy.
