Why does the country seem to erupt into new mass protests every few months? Is it all connected or just a coincidence?

In this episode, John sits down with fellow dad and author Martin Gurri, who sees the profile of the typical protestor as the common thread.

Martin spent three decades as a CIA media analyst. His years of experience culminated with his 2014 book, “The Revolt of the Public,” which explores this topic in depth.
