On this episode, Michael Hershman sits down with Rufus Edmisten, former North Carolina Attorney General, Secretary of State, and Deputy Chief Counsel to the Senate Watergate Committee. Rufus reflects on his journey from growing up in a log cabin to serving in historic roles that shaped American politics, including delivering the first congressional subpoena to a sitting president. Together, they discuss lessons from Watergate, the decline of civility in public life, and the urgent need to restore trust, civic education, and respect for institutions to ensure America’s democracy remains strong for generations to come.
