Capital Tonight features many political experts, often referring to them as “friends of the program.” While you may get a brief glimpse into their backgrounds, we rarely get a chance to talk about their own story.
Many, like Jonathan Felts, have incredible tales about working for presidents and in various locations around the world.
On this episode of Tying It Together With Tim Boyum, Tim sits down with Felts, a North Carolina native, to hear about his time serving as the White House political director for former President George W. Bush. He shares several behind the scenes stories about the former president, flying aboard Air Force One and Bush’s insistence on punctuality.
Felts also talks about the incredible experience of training Afghan political hopefuls and how he ended up bringing a new four-legged friend home.
