Jenna joins us with a book that's made her feel a little hopeful in what's been a strange year. Humankind: A New Hopeful History of Human Nature by Rutger Bregman is the non-fiction that everyone is bound to hear about this year.

Doug Becker spoke with Aristotle Tziampiris and Nukhet Sandal about the latest standoff.
