A year ago, Hillary Clinton joined me on my radio show for a long discussion about her memoir of the 2016 presidential race, “What Happened?” In September, John Kerry — like Clinton, a former secretary of state — came on the show to discuss his memoir “Every Day Is Extra.”
For both former Democratic presidential nominees, it was their first appearance on a program that has run three hours every weekday for more than 18 years, on any day of which they would have been welcomed with the same courtesy and approach: an interview, not a debate.
When he ran for president, Donald Trump joined me by phone more than a dozen times.
