About this Episode

Hillary and Tina cover former San Francisco Board Supervisor Dan White and Little Rock, Arkansas political Activist Robert “Say” McIntosh.

Hillary's Story
Dan White’s reputation as a local hero and all American guy helped earn him a seat to San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors. But, as he struggled to make ends meet on a public servant’s salary and grew more and more dissatisfied with what he believed to be corrupt politicians, he made a fateful decision that broke hearts throughout San Francisco and the nation.

Tina's Story
Throughout Little Rock, Say McIntosh was known for his vocal critique of local and state politicians, but, when Say lightens up on his usual attacks during Clinton’s presidential campaign, rumors swirl about what may have led to his change of pace.
