These are the subject of Weissmann's new book, Liar's Kingdom: How to Stop Trump's Deceit and Save America . Political lies, Andrew Weissmann writes, are foundational to Donald Trump's policies: they fuel his administration's weaponization of law enforcement and unlawful deportation of immigrants, among other things. Other politicians, inspired by Trump's success, have flooded the public square with their own falsehoods. And as political lies grow and are widely accepted, Weissmann discusses how they threaten the very foundation of our democracy. But as dire as this crisis is, we are not helpless — Weissmann describes tools to vindicate the public's right to the truth, using examples from around the globe as models we can emulate. In a conversation with MS NOW's Lawrence O'Donnell, hear Weissmann discuss his revelatory new book — a legal guide and citizen's playbook for how to prevent liars from holding office in the future. Don't miss this urgent conversation about how to save democracy from the demagogues.","meta_description":"Join MS NOW legal analyst Andrew Weissmann — a lead prosecutor in Robert Mueller's Special Counsel's Office and FBI General Counsel — with MS NOW anchor L…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3495,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/92ny-talks-397831/episodes/andrew-weissmann-with-lawrence-o-donnell-liar-s-kingdom/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/92ny-talks-397831/andrew-weissmann-with-lawrence-o-donnell-liar-s-kingdom.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
