During the interview, they explore critical topics such as the Electoral College system, the irrationality driven by long-standing human biases, the influence of social media, and the complexities of the two-party political system. They also delve into some of America’s most challenging issues, including failed public policies on immigration, healthcare, criminal justice, and public Education. 

This engaging conversation highlights the urgency of understanding how America’s political system functions—and why it sometimes doesn’t. William Cooper offers a compelling analysis of the issues and shares his hopes for what readers will take from the book.

Betsy highly recommends How America Works…And Why It Doesn’t, praising it for opening her mind to issues she hadn’t considered. This is a must-read if you’re looking for an insightful and eye-opening examination of the U.S. political system!
