Award-winning New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof has been covering human rights abuses around the world, including the genocide in Darfur, the Iraq War and the refugee crisis. Kristof joined Errol to talk about his time as a foreign correspondent and his newest book, “Tightrope: Americans Reaching for Hope,” which he co-wrote with his wife, Sheryl WuDunn. They travel back to Kristof’s farming hometown in Oregon to document a personal story about the struggles facing the families he grew up with, from incarceration to drug abuse and poverty. And he discusses what can be done to help blue-collar America.
