My Conversation with Heather Cox Richardson

On the urgent need to defend democracy, rebuild a government that works for more Americans, and find historical context for the challenges we face today.

Yesterday, I joined historian and professor Heather Cox Richardson for an important and timely conversation about this moment in our country’s story. Her daily newsletter, Letters from an American, has become an important source of clarity and perspective for millions of readers trying to make sense of the news.

We covered a range of topics, including how - even in the swirl of chaos and uncertainty we see every day - these challenges are not without precedent. Our conversation reminded me that amid the seriousness and pain of what America is now facing, historical context shows how we can face these moments with boldness and conviction.

Our moment is one not just of great upheaval but of historical importance. History offers warnings - but also guidance and proof that we can act to meet the test.

Thanks for watching. Leave a comment and join the conversation.
