Topics, Sessions And Talks
Everybody knows Washington is broken today: a do-nothing Congress; a powerless president; a divided Supreme Court. Can anybody save Washington, or is it too late? And What changes are necessary to make Washington work again? Commentator And talk show host Bill Press examines this provocative question – and finds the answer!
Based on his first book, Bill Press pokes fun at the wonderful world of spin. With insight and wit, he exposes the worst examples of political spin heard today from both Republicans and Democrats. But he also shows how spin colors every aspect of human behavior today, as practiced by preachers, salesmen, parents, lawyers, boyfriends and girlfriends.
A former seminarian with a degree in theology, as well as a radio/TV talk show host, Bill Press talks about one of the most important issues facing the nation: the intersection between faith and politics. Press argues that Republicans have “overdone” it, by making an unholy alliance with the religious right; but that Democrats have “underdone” it, by ignoring religion and appearing too secular. Referencing his acclaimed book, How the Republicans Stole Christmas, Press gives his formula for the correct mix of faith and politics.
Bill Press, a seasoned political insider and commentator, provides a critical examination of the challenges confronting the political system in America. With his vast experience, which includes his tenure at CNN and insights from The Bill Press Pod, he offers a distinctive viewpoint on the current political dynamics and potential solutions.
