• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I love that. Well, I'll tell you what, it's because
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: you're really digging into something that has my attention, the
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: elections that changed the world. Because anybody who walks into
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: a Barnes & Noble right now, if they do not
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: pick this up and really look into it, they're going
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: to be missing out on something here. Because you opened
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: up my eyes to so many things that changed the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: paths that we walk on.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: That's awesome.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you for that.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I love hearing that. What's your favorite?
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what? First of all, you're going to
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: get my attention when it's Julius Caesar, because I really
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: do believe that, you know, the fall of Rome, that's
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: what everybody's talking about. So, of course, you know, I've
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: got to go there and I've got to find out
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: what Julius Caesar is up to only to find out
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: things about him that I didn't know, because I'm one
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: of those fools. I watch the Hollywood movies and I
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: take that as fact. You guys give me a bigger
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and better truth on this.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, very much. Including the fact that Julius Caesar was
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: was in a little bit of trouble when he decided
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: to run for the top job. And that's because he
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: had so much campaign debt. because he had to borrow
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: so much to continue to climb up the political ladder
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: that he was afraid he was going to be in
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: jail or exiled. So he said, I'll run for Pontifex Maximus,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: which is that not the greatest title in the history
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: of titles?
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Just don't ask me to spell it. I'd have to
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: go to chat GPT to find out if I'm spelling
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: it correctly.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: One of the fun part about doing this book One
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: of the fun parts about doing this book was all
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: the stuff, the kind of fun, cool stuff we learned.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Who knew that negative advertising started with Julius Caesar, where
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: people would write graffiti on walls about the immorality of
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: their opponents?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: See, and that's the kind of stuff that why I
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: really love this, because everything that we're seeing today has
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: been done before. And it almost kind of just gives
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: me a little bit of peace of mind. Is that
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: wrong that it's given me that peace of mind?
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: No, you know why? Because everything, things were rough at
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: times at various points of history, very, very rough. But
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: people changed. we survived and, and the democratic process survived.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: So it should make, it should give you peace of
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: mind because as bad as things feel at any given moment,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: understanding history is not only learning from it, but also
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: feeling like, okay, it's not as.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Bad as that time. Please do not move. There's more
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: with Dana Bash and David Fisher coming up next. The
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: name of the book, The Elections That Changed the World.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: It is not what you assume. You've got to go
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: into this book. We are back with Dana Bash and
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: David Fisher. Come on, you put us right in the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: center of a Martin Luther King Jr. election that was
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: real people just raising their hands. I embrace things like
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that because that's the way that it really is and was.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: And to this day, in some groups, that's how we vote.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's such an important point because... elections and
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: democratic systems don't have to be big, huge votes for
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: the midterms of the United States or for, you know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: German elections or for anything that has to do with government.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: They're civic organizations, they're school boards. And in one case,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: we talk about the conclave voting for Different varieties of
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: the democratic process, and they're all important in their own ways.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: It's such an educational piece, and I know we're on
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: our last minute here, and I'm not going to get
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: enough answers or anything like that. But I just want
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to know what you guys are going to do with this.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Are we going to see it in video form? Because
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I'm one of those people that I've got to read it.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Now I've got to see it.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Do you know a guy?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Do I know a guy? Yeah, I know a guy
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: who'll go do the research for you and find that
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: video for you. There you go.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Well, we do have an audio book. We do have
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: an audio book so you can hear it. You know,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: we'll work on that. I like that idea.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Well, it's because we are that generation now where we
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: have to have the video.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: It would make a wonderful documentary.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: So true. So true. Well, I can't thank you enough
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: for this book because it really does open up my
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: eyes and it prepares me for things to even watch
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: for even as we grow into this election season. It's
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: not even the big one yet. We're only at midterm.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: And the thing about it is, though, is that you
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: guys are positioning this book in a great place. You
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: totally get it.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I love this.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: This is just perfect. That's exactly the goal.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: And the fact that.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: You're embracing it makes my heart warm and I'm sure
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: David would feel the same way.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Well, please come back to this show anytime in the future.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: The door is always going to be open for you. Fantastic.
