Good friend of the show, Julian Zelizer, a political historian at Princeton University and a New America Foundation fellow and I discuss his recent piece written for The Nation Magazine titled "Is the Era of Small Government Over?"

Julian writes "for decades, Democrats have been running away from their own shadow. In Election 2016, they’re finally embracing who they really are." Julian's referring to both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders' plans to strengthen the middle class through legislation; a platform that both have been running on.
