When you're 16 years old and have over 50,000 people reading your reporting and analysis of politics on a daily basis, how you do you decide what to publish? What is the response to a president saying the media is the "ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE"? How do you stay objective and bi-partisan in this political climate? And all while you're in high school...

In this episode, I discuss these topics and many more with the fascinating Gabe Fleisher. At the age of 8, he started the daily newsletter Wake Up to Politics, which concisely summarizes the news of the day, and what the president, Congress, and the Supreme Court, are doing that day. It has grown immensely to over 50,000 subscribers, including high profile journalists from the likes of CNN and MSNBC, along with a large twitter following of 23,000.
