Paul Holdengräber is joined by former US Senator Gary Hart on episode 100 of The Quarantine Tapes. They have a stirring conversation about Gary’s recent op-ed in The New York Times, “How Powerful Is the President?” Gary and Paul discuss the revelation of secret and emergency powers of the president and the threat this may pose to the upcoming election.

Gary goes on to emphasize that while he is not an alarmist, he feels that anything may be possible as the next election approaches. They touch on issues of protests and voter intimidation before Gary reminds us of the importance of getting the American people to pay attention to this election.

Gary Hart represented the State of Colorado in the United States Senate from 1975 to 1987.  In 1984 and 1988, he was a candidate for his party’s nomination for President.

Since retiring from the United States Senate, Gary Hart has been extensively involved in international law and business, as a strategic advisor to major U.S. corporations, and as a teacher, author and lecturer.

Senator Hart resides with his family in Kittredge, Colorado.
