Taxing Cory Booker's Patience

About this episode

Senator Cory Booker discusses his tax proposal and various political issues with Jon Lovett.

Senator Cory Booker stops by the studio to talk to Lovett about his bold tax proposal that would see the majority of Americans pay no federal income tax. Jon and the senator debate what it means when both political parties become anti-tax and discuss Trump's war with Iran, AIPAC's role in the Democratic Party, and the president's sudden firing of Attorney General Pam Bondi. You can check out Senator Booker's new book, "Stand," wherever you shop for books.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here .
