Our guest for episode 52 is Chris Hayes, anchor of “All in with Chris Hayes”, which airs weeknights on MSNBC, and the author of “A Colony in a Nation,” a New York Times bestseller.

We begin by discussing the book, which covers race issues from our founding through current day, be exploring with why he wrote it, what he was trying to accomplish, how we can bridge the racial divide in America and whether a class-based affirmative action system would be better than a race-based system.

Then we turned to whether we are currently living in a period of political realignment in both parties, where he believes the Russia inquiry stands, how he develops his nightly cable news show and what he wants it to be, what he’s learned as anchor, and what one question he’d like to ask President Trump.
