Ned Lamont and author David Sirota talk to “Where we Live.”

Sirota talks about the populist revolt he says is scaring Wall Street and Washington, highlighting Ned Lamont’s 2006 senate campaign. His book, THE UPRISING, traces the historical roots of populism, from its start in the rural West in the 19th Century all the way through Lamont’s 2006 race. Sirota asks the question – Will a real movement emerge from all this rage?
