Show Notes

Today, Leonard will discuss the new book “The Shadow President: The Truth About Mike Pence,” with Pulitzer Prize-winner Michael D’Antonio and Emmy-nominated journalist Peter Eisner, who follow the path Pence followed from Catholic Democrat to conservative evangelical Republican. They reveal how he used his time as right-wing radio star to build connections with powerful donors; how he was a lackluster lawmaker in Congress but a prodigious fundraiser from the GOP’s billionaire benefactors; and how, once he locked in his views on the issues—anti-gay, pro-gun, anti-abortion, pro big-business – he became laser-focused on his own pursuit of power.
