Senator Ron Wyden, in his new memoir 'It Takes Chutzpah: How to Fight Fearlessly for Progressive Change,' shares lessons from his career in politics and emphasizes the need for Democrats to have 'chutzpah' to return to power. He believes that despite the current political climate, it is still possible to pass legislation and make a difference. Wyden draws on his Jewish background to explain his approach to life and governing, using the concepts of chutzpah and tikkun olam. He calls for more pushback from his colleagues and everyday citizens and urges serious political action to prevent the United States from falling into fascism. Wyden remains optimistic that the institutions of government will hold and that Democrats can win back Congress and the presidency by showing the ways in which Trump fails to deliver on his economic promises.
