Dan Rather On The Age Of Trump: This Is Not Normal

Dan Rather has covered every president since Eisenhower, but sees something unprecedented and dangerous about President Trump’s unrelenting campaign against the press.

Dan Rather talks about covering KKK rallies in the 1960’s, another period in American history when there was a resurgence of intolerance and nationalism in the country.

Dan Rather doesn’t think Trump will read his new book “What Unites Us: Reflections on Patriotism,” so Dan's thinking about sending him the audiobook version.

There are a lot of rumors about President Lyndon Johnson’s propensity for carrying on conversations in the restroom, but Dan Rather has “eyewitness testimony."
