“NEXT UP”
On yesterday’s special Father’s Day episode of “Next Up,” I was joined by my father, Morton Halperin, and my son, James, for a candid conversation about fatherhood across three generations.
Then, NewsNation’s Leland Vittert joied me to discuss his bestselling book Born Lucky and the powerful role his father played in helping him overcome the challenges of autism.
It’s a heartfelt conversation about family, resilience, and the people who shape our lives.
