CNN Chief Political Correspondent Dana Bash joins Michael to discuss her new book, "The Elections That Changed the World: Fifteen Pivotal Moments That Shaped How We Live" co-written with David Fisher. Listen and learn about pivotal elections whose consequences reached far beyond the ballot box—from Winston Churchill’s stunning 1945 defeat and the little-known vote that helped elevate Martin Luther King Jr., to Ronald Reagan’s 1966 victory in California. It’s a fascinating look at the campaigns, personalities, turning points, and unexpected outcomes that helped shape political history—and a reminder that some elections only reveal their true significance with the passage of time. Original air date 22 September 2026. The book was published on 22 September 2026. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
