Tom Steyer on climate change, gun safety and impeachment

Season 2019 Episode 245 | 7m 59s

Tom Steyer is a billionaire philanthropist and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate. Perhaps best known for his efforts to impeach President Trump, Steyer sits down with Judy Woodruff to discuss why he believes government in Washington, D.C., is “broken,” how to get corporate cash out of American democracy, criticism of his hedge fund history and the need for aggressive action on climate change.
