Join New York Times-bestselling author and former US Attorney Barbara McQuade with former Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkin for a conversation about corruption, national security, and the far right — and McQuade’s new book, The Fix: Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government.
Drawing on decades of legal experience getting to the root of how organized crime and political opportunism exploit the levers of power, Barbara McQuade’s new book is an exploration of the MAGA movement’s uncomfortable overlap with a mafia-style culture of corruption. Weaving together courtroom stories, real-time political analysis, and cautionary lessons from history, McQuade uncovers how a system of legal checks and balances is being dismantled — and how we can reclaim the rule of law.
Hear McQuade and Durkin in an accessible, eye-opening conversation grounded in constitutional faith — a wake-up call for how we can work together to recenter democracy in American life.
