I WANT TO GET TO YOUR NEW BOOK, "SAVING JUSTICE," BECAUSE I

THINK THAT HAS PARTICULAR RESONANCE RIGHT NOW.

BUT BEFORE WE GET INTO THAT, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE EVENTS OF

THIS LAST WEEK AND YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON WORKING FOR THIS

THE PRESIDENT, AS YOU SAID IN YOUR LAST BOOK, ASKED YOU FOR

LOYALTY SEVEN DAYS AFTER HIS INAUGURATION.

AND WE HAVE SORT OF THE DANGEROUS REPERCUSSIONS OF THE

CHERNOBYL-LIKE EXPLOSION OF THE RADIOACTIVE STEW OF RACISM,

MISOGYNY, CONSPIRACY-MINDED VIOLENCE THAT WE'VE LONG HAD IN

THIS COUNTRY BUT WE'VE KEPT IT IN A CONTAINMENT BUILDING.

THEY'VE BEEN DIGGING AT THE FOUNDATION OF THAT BUILDING FOR

THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE YEARS AND NOW THERE'S BEEN AN EXPLOSION

AND THERE HAS TO BE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT.
