The fixable echo in the room and the record is at best amateurish and at worst uncaring. Am I the only one?

No politician in the US and/or the UK . . . has failed to win votes by running on the popular proposition of more people in jail.

I anticipate that with a proficiency in AI prompts, he'll get it down to six days per book :-)

I turned this on by accident and I couldn't turn it off. Wonderful on many levels. I assume that was David's grandson interviewing him for a school project or something, but it was kind of compelling. Just a kid talking to his grandfather. Thanks for posting.

Portez-vous bien ! / Soignez-vous ! Bonne Santé !

David's such a gentleman.

David McCullough is a national treasure

He spoke truth and wisdom...💯👍

bc the PC world wants "diversity" on NON-European descent. the libtards want 3rd world diversity for democrat votes and to eliminate white people by taxing them to death whites can't afford to have families bc they are too busy working to fund 3rd world migrants who have 8-10 kids and live for FREE on the backs of white people

It is coming again soon I think. Maybe this winter, October 21, 2022. I pray to God I am wrong 180 degrees. Stay safe people!

My daddy was born Jan 3, 1933. He said it was hard, but he grew up on a farm. So, they had chickens, hogs, a milk cow etc. No money, but they bartered or traded for what was needed. Plus, they hunted and fished.

Ross Perot told the same story about marking the house in the great depression for food

What a fantastic video! David McCullough sure can tell a story💕 Godspeed dear friend!

Thank you Mr. McCullogh.

A truly magnificent Historian and Human Being.

How blessed to have this man as your grandfather.

Thank You SO MUCH for posting this! I am transported into his living room having a personal moment with him. We have been extremely fortunate to have this man in our lives I wish I’d seen him speak in person.

Your grandmother was correct on FDR, not your father. Modern America owes so much to him. Alas he was unable to complete his entire vision. Healthcare and a fair tax system would transform the nation... My dad is 91, two yrs older than McCullough, and remembers his mom feeding people at their back door too.

Navy beans and potato pancakes.....great depression dinner!

A Beautiful Man.

I used to have these conversations with people born in the 1910s … I wish I had a recording like this.

America could use a few more men like Mr McCullough.

Charlie Rose should watch this kid to see how one should interview someone. Nice job!

I’m sure he knows about the Poor Houses. Atrocious “medical facilities” to take care of the elderly and poor back in that day and before.

A national treasure - RIP Mr. McCullough.

Rest In Peace Mr. McCullogh. Absolutely one of the finest historians and biographers of American history, and a must-have addition to anyone’s library.

I'm a vegetarian. As long as veggies are cheap during the next depression and, yes, there will be another depression, I'll do fine.

He died today he glorified white slaveholders

I’m two years older than McCullough- I remember men coming to back door foe a sandwich also. We were all poor for nine years but nobody knew it. Great memories- Americans respected each other.

I’m impressed with the kid, excellent questions, great listener

I'd be fascinated to learn how this particular evening came about. It looks like a gutsy seventh-grader. McCullough lives on Martha's Vineyard; if this boy was traveling with parents, perhaps it was during a holiday break? I can only surmise that he was assigned to do a report on the Great Depression, and he had the idea (or Mom/Dad did) to contact David McCullough and ask him to sit down for an hour and discuss the topic. And the great man said "sure, come on over to my home." I wonder how many OTHER times he's done this.(And, I have to chuckle at the fact that a sit-down with a twelve-year-old didn't cause him to forego his evening martini.) :)

Well, I believe it will come again. Jim, in Ohio 12-19-2021

Thanks so much for your study of and writing about the people who made America wonderful! I’ve tried hard to teach my 6 children to appreciate the great efforts and sacrifices made by those who came before them. I’m 72 and they are all patriotic and aware of the serious loss of freedoms now. You are gifted!

I am a naturalized citizen. And I feel like appreciating the words David McCullough says and writes makes me more American than the oath. I especially enjoyed reading The Wright Brothers by him.

My 98 year old mother loves chipped beef too. They still sell it in the grocery stores made by Stouffers. Thank you for this little memoir. I loved listening to you and to my mother on this subject. I especially love all you inspire in the memory of our country's founding with our God given leader, President George Washington. Do you have any knowledge of his mother's prophetic dream of her unborn son's future? She felt God told her that he would be instrumental in founding a country based on freedom especially of religion? It is all so inspirational to me at this time in our history, (2021) when we need men and women who lead by serving. God bless!

My mom and dad told me. They would have meat once a week and usually made a gravy so every body had at least the drippings of the meat. The rest of the time it was Beans or vegetables and rice or potato's and gravy. They would cook a chicken or rabbit or squirrel.
