Thank you for having Doris Kearns Goodwin on Meet the Press. She is a national treasure. It was truly so inspiring to listen to a person of her intelligence and insight!
Isn't her love of baseball incredibly inspiring!?
@@markbeames7852
Yes! It reminds me of talking about and watching baseball games with my own father.
She’s a known plagiarist. Surprised she survived it. But then, the Left circles the wagons for its own.
She is not as impartial as she claims. In "No Ordinary Time" she paints FDR as master of any room and its conversation, then claims the opposite when convenient, saying he was bullied on Japaneese internment.
It is rare to get to hear so much love and wisdom expressed in one interview.
You get what you tolerate. Tolerating injustice increases it. Excellent interview.
Never in all my 60 years have I been jealous of a marital relationship, except for this one. How lucky she was to have found him, and he to have found her.
Love you, Doris Kearns Goodwin.
Great interview! Love you Doris Kearns Goodwin! Your body of work captures the story of the way we were and what we are called to be!
Wow she is sharp at 81
Excellent interview! Thank you to you both!
Oh how I feel her soul. Headed right now to go put my father on hospice. He was born in 1933 (the same year Hitler came to power) and is a 90 year old Korean War Vet. I am going to write his story I have been researching for years now. His father’s family dates back to the Natchez District in 1802 when Thomas Jefferson was President. His mother’s family goes back to the early 1700’s in French Louisiana before America was America. They were Cooks and Blacksmiths during slavery. I have a photo of my dad at 3 years old being held in the arms of his grandmother born in 1886. Her father was the mulatto son of his plantation owner written about in Chapter 9 of the book 12 Years A Slave. What a journey in American history I’ve gone through with this research. His ancestors served in every war in US History and every single generation worked hard, were good citizens and agitated for change to make America even better. His Uncle was in the Civil Rights movement with MLK. We will keep their love, faith and optimism alive for future generations as they pass the torch.
If and when your book is written, I want to read it! Sounds like a series!
Definitely a lot of history there and I'm sure it will be a good/interesting read. So sorry about your father/hospice.....I will keep you/your family in my thoughts as I know what that's like.
Wow, what a story. Writing their story is a wonderful way to honor your ancestors. I hope that your father does well in hospice. I know it has to be difficult and heartbreaking.
Wonderful historical anecdotes, thanks for sharing!
"hold fast" (1Thess.5 :21)
this was a beautiful and inspiring conversation. i ended up in tears. really enjoyed this conversation and the gifts doris gave. also kristen welker did a great job
Kearn Goodwin is an American Scholar, thoughtful, deep. More like her.
Character matters, service to others should be the driving force to public service. Integrity is forever, and the loss of that trait can never taken lightly.

To all the people criticizing Doris for supposedly saying "the peaceful transition of power might not happen in November," if you actually listen to what she really said starting at 27:13 she never used those worrds. What said the concession speech of the losing Republican candidate (in this case, Trump) is what she's worried won't happen in November. She was talking about the vital importance of concession speeches right after election day. She was not talking about Jan 20, inauguration day.
Thank you very much for pointing this out to those making annoying posts!
Thanks for highlighting this. The network must know better than to title it the way they did-that’s so irresponsible. We all need to be concerned and vote but no need to amp up people’s fear and anxiety-we have more than enough of that. It feels like titling it that way twists her words in a way that’s very disrespectful to her.
click bate
Thank you for providing the timestamp to her statement. It is very disappointing to see the title of the video which is misleading clickbait.
I find the titling to be VERY MISLEADING ... RUclips needs to get better at this!
Lots of little pearls of wisdom.💗
This was wonderful. As an 80-=year=old, I often feel depressed because we seem to be going backwards. Doris gives me hope again.
I'm 59 and have similar sentiments. I think regardless of what happens in the next few years, the mounting pressure from below, from those holding the least power, will overwhelm, in time, the corrupt intrenched power that refuses to give up their power. Demographics is working against this power, and the ability of this regime grows weaker by the day, regardless of everything else. Even should a fascism win in the short run, the win will be tentative and temporarary. I take comfort in that, while also believing the forces of fascism are also likely to never hold the reigns to begin with. They have bitten off more than they can swallow in their desperation and they are choking on it even as I write this. They just don't know it yet.
I feel the same way at 69.
Yes. A lot of goodness is still out there. It always prevails, goodness, that is.
Inspiring, optimistic interview talking about the true call to public service: good character.
Imagine being as sharp as Doris when you’re 81. Dare to dream.😂
She looks vibrant too -- such a graceful, empowering, intelligent woman.
You have to keep working at it. Don’t let brain rot creep in keep studying, keep reading, keep learning
I was going to comment on that too. She's sharper than the interviewer.
We need to listen to people like her more often! Words of wisdom!
The big problem in America is when there are people who consider that this lady spouts words of wisdom out of her fundamentalist, fanatic and ignorant mouth.
But be careful, she is a "reputed historian" in academic circles and in the media. Let's cling to the fallacy of authority whenever we can, it always sneaks in.
@juanpc3852
And where are your degrees from wise one? Trump University?

@juanpc3852 Your sad, silly, and simple minded comment is contrary to reality.
@@janetives5470
Ok, let's talk about silly, simple minded and reality.
It's incredible how the ignorance propagated by media like NBC can triumph. It is a mixture between not understanding the basic rules of logic (syllogisms, propositions, analytical judgments, fallacies...) and fundamentalism, fanaticism and intolerance disguised as pious pretensions.
In the name of saving democracy, we legitimize the prosecution process with the ultimate goal of imprisoning a candidate for President of the USA by applying criminal offenses to non-criminal behavior. There is no room for greater cynicism or greater immorality.
We are so sure that our ideas are ethically correct that we will legitimize all means to achieve them.
Democracy does not usually end because a demagogue comes to power and wants to have control over the population (Hitler, Lenin, Mussolini, Hugo Chávez...), democracy has historically ended when an elitist caste has decided that they should be the ones. that control people's decisions. This is what happened in classical Athens and this is what happens now.
Max Born said in his manual of atomic physics that all the problems in the world can be summarized in that someone believes they completely know the truth.
These people take their neighbor like the tamer takes the lions in a circus, they want to tell us exactly what our "objective interests" of class, race, gender are....
They only believe in democracy as long as they continue to rule.
They have a teleological vision of history according to which this is a fight between progressives and reactionaries who want to remove us from our kingdom of acquired rights. It is a children's narrative. Reality does not accept such flat dysologies. The Hegelian evolution and Aristotelian logic are placed far above such circumstantial elements as social class, the color of your skin or gender.
Truly, if this civilization ends up collapsing, we, our ignorance and arrogance will have been the only ones responsible.
"Storytelling is at the heart of it all." ♥ I love her so much.
The power of stories!
Learned so much just with this interview. Thank You for sharing this historical interview story.
We will get through it when we think about and care for others.
uh oh
- 15:55
Everything she stated here is true!
Our country needs to be led by those who exemplify the kind of character and principles that we want our children to have, and to be exposed to.
Being able to be held accountable, to have integrity, empathy, respect for our fellow man, honor, and compassion for others. These are the virtues of a valued leader.
I pray to God that this country will never be subjected to the vicious criminal who caused this nation’s turmoil, and if justice is served, he will be rightfully prosecuted and sentenced to prison. 💙🇺🇸
@mikaylaknighton ….DITTO!!
Are you referring to the turmoil LBJ caused in Vietnam and the turmoil Biden has caused in Ukraine?
Thank you for this delightful interview! This is my favorite author and she is so articulate, serious, and wise. I feel her hope and love for our country!❤❤❤
This was an outstanding and very interesting interview! I could tell that your guest was also a great storyteller with deep-historical knowledge. I could seriously listen to her forever!👍🏾
Doris you are brilliant. Always love to hear your vast wisdom.❤
Doris Kearns Goodwin is a national treasure and a very special public figure who has an innate talent to instantly come across as a dear and long-beloved friend. Hugs and hi-fives to Doris for radiating the kind of American spirit I for one want to define the whole of us as a matter of communal faith. We shall overcome.
I agree with her young people never give up your voice and your voice is get out and vote
Thank You Doris for bring so much History forward that might have never been written, and done it in a way that follows the facts but tells amazing stories most would have never know.
Doris Kearns Goodwin is the rockstar of American history. I just finished reading her latest book today and it is wonderful. If you’re not a reader, get it as an audiobook. It’s a winner!!!
One of my favorite Historians I miss Doris so much Her confidence and love of Country reveals HER true Patriotism
As a Boomer, I was brought up to believe that we had a responsinility to our famies, our towns, our country, and to each other. This is why I was deeply shocked when in high school a very popular history teacher started lecturing us on being independent. He was saying we don't owe our allegiance to anyone but ourselves. He taught that we owe nothing to our families, towns, or even our country. A few years later, I heard the same things in college from a Sociology teacher, that we don't owe anyone and we educate ourselves to get assets from money and we shouldn't be giving anything to anyone else. I think Ayan Rand and her philosophy of selfishness has been intentionally infused into society to break us up and make us loyal to the system of corporate profit-taking.
Thank you so much for sharing this inspiring and informed interview!
This was incredible!!
She is marvelous
Such a wonderful story…..chapter in American….human history. Doris Kearns Goodwin has long been a favorite historian and writer for me. Her “Team of Rivals” is an amazing description of Lincoln as a leader through commitment and collaboration.
Her love with her husband is an extraordinary source of inspiration…..in sharp contrast to the political lunacy of these times
Thank you both for bringing this story to us 👏👏👍👍
I loved 'Team of Rivals' myself. She is an excellent author, the people are always so alive!
National treasure right there.
I love this woman! She is a national treasure. ❤
Great Interview ! Thanks !🦘💙!
WoW! What an amazing person she is. What an amazing story/life she has told us. Thank you.
It's hard not to see the other as the ennemy when their leaders are quoting hitler....
That was a lie. They clipped a little part of her statement to make it sound that way. Please research the facts don't post lies.
@@joeabels3931 Everyone knows he did it, him and other gop people made reference about Hitler "poisoning of the nation" in front of many people and on film. You should seek a way out of this cult.
I loved this interview. But the title of the video is an embarrassing heap of click bait that in no way accurately described the content. NBC, you need to be better.
What a great interview. ❤
Seven years ago she predicted Trump would rise to the office and that the mechanisms of government would check his worst tendencies.
Supreme Court Neutrality for America
Great interview. 🤠
I loved this discussion. I agree with her completely and appreciate the graceful articulation. "We can't search for heroes, right now. We have to look to it ourselves" (or close) This Lady is a Leader. Soothing to hear from.

KEN BURNS' BASEBALL was my introduction to this great woman! Always appreciated Mr. Burns for introducing me to different authors as they commented on America's favorite pastime!❤
We are all immigrants !
Yes, for me it's on all sides of my family, Polish, Russian, Scottish, French/Dutch.... If you're not indigenous you're immigrant..... Mine we all immigrant within the last two generations and in every generation there are some immigrants that are fervently hated, In my aunts era it was Russians that were hated and she pretended she was French when she went to school. Someday it will be your turn.... Your family will be the hated one depending on what's going on. If we end in a war and your family background comes from one of the hated nations you'll be hated too, your dog may be shot, or you may, just because your family immigrated to America. It's happened so many times before and we people are what we are.... We can hate for wrong ( ie. Political, prejudiced,) reasons. And in spite of the fact that some may say they believe in God and the Bible, they seem still able to hate immigrants( ie "foreign residents") even though in that book, God is telling us that we... MUST.... love the foreign resident and do good to them..... And he refers to those who harm them as the "wicked"! There's no way God approves of hatred for immigrants.... He says they must be treated with love! Yes we are all immigrants. Even indigenous peoples came from somewhere.... But we needn't worry, the future won't allow hatred to do it's typical' wickedness'..... In the "new earth" soon to come, with "the conclusion" of this "system of things" there will be no more suffering, no more tears! ie. The best is yet to come! (see, Matthew 24 :3,14 & 6:9,10 / Daniel 2 :44 / Revelation 11 :18 &..... 21 :1-5, in the Bible!)
As of 2024 I would venture to say that most of the American population are children or grandchildren of immigrants who came here legally with not a cent and went through the legal process to become American citizens! America was founded by immigrants and I am a grandson of both my grandparents who was born in America which makes me an instant American citizen! My grandparents came here legally through Ellis island and worked 7 days a week to survive and eventually studied and met the qualifications and passed the exam to become Legal American Citizens! I don’t hate documented immigrants or undocumented immigrants! But I do dislike any government official that has disrespected those who came here legally by allowing millions to come here illegally! It’s very simple…either come here legally like millions did in the early 1900’s or you can’t enter! And the fact that they are being given the privilege to register to vote before they are legal American citizens is the real definition of a threat to democracy!
@@peterwolf2832 Too bad Mike Johnson refused to bring the non partisan immigration bill to a vote. The only fluff to it was assistance to Ukraine, which was passed anyway.

I don't throw around the term "National Treasure" very often. I see others have done it here, and I have to agree.

Beautiful! Thank you!
She is a remarkable person. Thank you for your spirit, Doris Kearns Goodwin.
I think having a mission for young people who will help out in society is a great idea! Not only would it help society but it would give young people a sense of pride and connection to this country. It would show them that they can be useful and make a difference in the world. Great interview.
I have been having the chilly thought that if the ex-president returns to the White House, i must accept peacefully the transfer of power to him.
Trump did NOT accept the peaceful transition of power, and started a RIOT at the Capitol all because he commanded his followers to forge conterfieit elector documents and submit them to Vice-president Pence for him to count instead of the official State certified documents, and the VP wouldn't do it. That's a flagrant, right-in-your face CRIME! Who, in their right mind, WOULD feel comfortable surrendering control of our country back to someone as corrupt as that? The Supreme Court had a Constitutional requirement to block this man from ever running for office again under the 14th Amendment, and they failed in thier duty because, they too are corrupt with three of them appointed by Trump himself and one other of them having a wife who was an integral member of the insurrection plot and fake-elector scheme. This is what she means by"we can't look for heros, we must look to ourselves." We need to do everything in our power to help Biden win, and win big. Get the vote out. Donate to the Biden campaign. Vote! Trump is such a walking disaster area, he nearly destroyed the government and our economy, and allowed hundreds of thousands of Americans to DIE because he kept denying that COVID was happening to us during a time when he was supposed to be taking charge from his position of leadership to get the epidemic contained. Instead, he repeatedly told us over and over again that it would "go away all by itself when the weather gets warmer." And that "everything will be back to normal by Easter." When she says the most important attribute of a president is character, believe it! Trump has no ethics, values, scruples, or trustworthiness. What he HAS is egomania and selfishness.
Great Interview.
The title is misleading. She does not say Biden won't transfer power if he loses. She said essentially that if Trump loses, he will not admit that he lost. Concession speeches are also a part of the peaceful transition of power.
GREAT interview!!

As a high school senior I canvassed for Gene McCarthy. The '68 Democratic convention and the vicious treatment on the streets and in the hall by the 'old guard' Dems radicalized me more than the reactionary Republicans. Yeah, I voted for Humphrey as the 'lesser of two weevils', a pattern of choice presented to me many times since.
