In an era of political turmoil, one author has opted for humor to get his message across, as he examines America’s political culture wars. Joel Stein is a former writer for Time Magazine and his new book, “In Defense of Elitism,” offers a sharp and witty take on why he thinks elitism is so important to fight the rise of populism. He sits down with Walter to discuss this subject.
