<v Speaker 1>Hello with the WZ Book Club. This is Jordan Rich.

2
00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:06.280
<v Speaker 1>This campaign season for president might be the oddest and

3
00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:09.119
<v Speaker 1>most tumultuous in our lifetimes, but if you look back

4
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:11.679
<v Speaker 1>at the history of presidential campaigns and to this point

5
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:14.599
<v Speaker 1>the men who have held the office, there's fascinating history

6
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:18.120
<v Speaker 1>at every turn. That's why I love this book from

7
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:23.079

8
