"I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump's Catastrophic Final Year"

Aired on Thursday, July 29th.

Our show today focuses on a newly publsihed book that's widely seen as the definitive journalistic account of former President Trump's final year in office. The book is "I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump's Catastrophic Final Year," and it's written by Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig, the Pulitzer-Prize winning Washington Post reporters who earlier gave us "A Very Stable Genius." Rucker is our guest on StudioTulsa. As was noted of "I Alone Can Fix It" in The Guardian: "A blockbuster follow-up to 'A Very Stable Genius,' in which Leonnig and Rucker chronicled the chaos of Trump's first three years in office. 'I Alone Can Fix It' pulls back the curtain on the handling of Covid-19, the re-election bid, and its chaotic and violent aftermath.... [This] book is essential reading. [Rucker and Leonnig] have receipts, which they lay out for all to see."

Rich Fisher passed through KWGS about thirty years ago, and just never left. Today, he is the general manager of Public Radio Tulsa, and the host of KWGS’s public affairs program, StudioTulsa, which celebrated its twentieth anniversary in August 2012 . As host of StudioTulsa, Rich has conducted roughly four thousand long-form interviews with local, national, and international figures in the arts, humanities, sciences, and government. Very few interviews have gone smoothly. Despite this, he has been honored for his work by several organizations including the Governor's Arts Award for Media by the State Arts Council, a Harwelden Award from the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa, and was named one of the “99 Great Things About Oklahoma” in 2000 by Oklahoma Today magazine.
