The author of a new memoir chronicles his experience of trying to lose weight in a country that loves the fitbit as much as “food porn”. We hear what it’s like to be overweight from the author’s experience as well as other plus-sized Americans he met on the road. We also discuss the fallout from former Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe’s interview on “60 Minutes” and the contentious relationship between President Donald Trump and the FBI.
