Writers Bloc Presents Jacob Weisberg and Julia Turner

The question many Americans ask again and again is why aren't Republicans speaking out against the policies and practices of the current administration? We've learned from some Republicans that the answer is simple: fear. The question has become broader and broader, and is now, Why have law firms, media companies, and influential individuals caved to the president and his demands?

Jacob Weisberg's new book, Profiles in Cowardice: A Study of Collaboration in the Trump Era, looks at eight powerful individuals who capitulated to the president's demands. His profiles include Mitch McConnell, Jeff Bezos, and others -- whose collusions have had enormous impact in media, law, finance, and government.

In conversation with journalist and culture critic Julia Turner. Former Editor-in-Chief of Slate and founder former Deputy Managing Editor of the LA Times, Julia is now Editor- in-Chief and Co-founder of L.A. Material, a wonderful new digital daily newsletter that covers Los Angeles news, personalities, and culture.
