Heather Cox Richardson On This Moment In American History 

Thank you for calling a spade a spade. The Supreme Court has lost all credibility.

Professor Richardson is truly a national treasure.

I wish Heather Cox Richardson would appear on every mainstream media outlet before the election. This is the voice of reason we all need to hear. Please please please everyone vote for Joe Biden.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

Heather's right. Until recently, most of us would not have believed our country was susceptible to major and destructive threats like those we have witnessed since MAGA has risen and expanded its power. WWII was probably actually scarier, but what's happening now is the scariest thing I've experienced in 73 years.

It’s so frustrating. The Dems need to pull together right now. They must stop tearing down their candidate! My God our country is truly looking down the barrel of a gun!🙀💯

And the poorly educated will wake the next morning crying.."Wait, that's not what I meant, I just want cheap gas."

I think this is the first time I’ve Heather call this a coup. 🤯

Grateful for Heather and Christiane.

The worst thing is to have Trump back in power again

Thank you Professor Richardson for your knowledge and guidance at this critical time. You are a national treasure and much needed.

I used to trust CNN but that is gone. There was no monitoring the debate and calling out lying on either candidate. Then the statement that Biden had to go instead of the candidate that lied through the entire event.

It's not just trump. It's also heritage foundation and all his supporters. This is a real issue.

The New York Times has drifted into behavior that is shocking to me as a reader for the last 20 years. Over the last few months, they've focused on Biden's age in ways that are just not journalistic, but rather present more as propaganda. To have six columns on your front page (online) that all present the same point of view, with no counter opinion pieces, is not acceptable. Now, since the debate, they've posted as many as nine headlines per day on the front page with the same message that he should step down. I've submitted countless comments to columns over the years and know what the parameters are for presenting my point of view and being accepted, but now five out of six of my comments are not accepted, and commenting is shut off within a couple of hours. Theirs is the only comment section I'm seeing where Biden is being condemned and asked to step aside with virtually no opposing point of view presented. This flies in the face of comments on youtube videos for The Bulwark, where viewers are pushing back almost unanimously to the point of view of the pundits, and Pod Save America, and the like, even going so far as to unsubscribe over what they see as anti-Biden stances. Biden campaign pages show mostly strong support with some dissenting opinions that prove all comments are being allowed. NYT is now printing openly biased headlines to their news stories like, "House Rep Becomes the First Democrat to Call for Biden to Step Down," a choice of words which obviously presumes there will be more. Is presuming the job of the journalist? Or is it reporting what happened? If I thought it was just me noticing this sea change in the NYT, I was reassured to see independent journalists calling out the same thing. It is stunning to see the oldest and most respected news source in the nation actively fighting for their own agenda in this way.

It's a shame America wasn't grown up enough for Pete Buttigieg.

This woman is crystal clear! Listen carefully to what she is saying and elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Vote blue 💙💙💙

Make a great July 4th, AMERICA’S INDEPENDENCE DAY, decision and vote FOR America, not the wannabe Trumpland.

I was 7 when the Russians rolled into my town in Poland go and ask any pole what happened to their country after that .

Thank you, Heather Cox Richardson. Your insights and well founded reason is much appreciated. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you for being the voice we need right now. VOTE BLUE IN NOVEMBER 🗳️💙🗳️💙🗳️💙

Dr. Cox Richardson- Thank you for your scholarship, speech, and work to preserve our democracy.

I’m for Biden! It’s ridiculous some Dems are working with the media and Magas to advance the narrative of ditching Biden. If we allow this division to continue, we’ll lose! We gotta grow a spine, buck up and fight TOGETHER to defeat those fascists.

I’m a Biden supporter. I voted for him in the primary. The talking heads in both the Democratic Party and the media are still going on and on about his poor debate performance and admittedly, it was poor. It was also a week ago and we have had the earth-shattering Supreme Court decision since then. I am getting so angry. We have so much at stake. If we don’t want our Country to be further debased by the Project 2025 agenda, please stop. Focus on what is important.

Thank you for speaking to the fact that we voted for Biden (whether he was our first choice or not) and NOT the party elites and pundits.

❤ Prof. Richardson. Thank you. Preach sister.

So grateful to be able to gain perspective from these articulate, intelligent, women

Heather is an our National Treasure. Thank you, Prof. ❤ This is a COUP

Heather is a national treasure.

HCR is doing her part. What will the rest of us do?

I so enjoy Dr. Richardson and Christiane Amanpour. I subscribe to Richardson's substack "Letters from an American".

Fearless, truth telling historian Heather Cox Richardson at it again. Thank you!!!❤️❤️❤️

If only...fence-sitting voters in swing states paid heed to Heather Cox Richardson. I fear they don't.

This woman is echoing exactly every word I have been saying. So you most definitely are not alone professor Richardson

Heather Cox Richardson is correct in everything she has stated here. Thank you for this interview.

Bravo - every US citizen should see this video 👏🏼 So succinct, so drama/hyperbole-free, so important! Thank you Christiane and Prof. Richardson 🇺🇸

Thank you, Professor Richardson.

I still have not seen (except buried in the NYTimes) a point by point rebuttal of Trump's debate performance. He lied consistently throughout, and people will believe him if they aren't told otherwise. Somebody needs to do this and flood the zone with it, now!

💙💙💙Heather Cox Richardson 💙💙💙

Thanks for having HCR on to talk about these issues. Please have her back regularly.

Hearing Heather and seeing the comments helps me to believe we can do this. We must come together to save our democracy. It's that simple. I thank all of you here who are voting Blue and praying for the outcome that will do just that. Blessings all.

Wonderful Conversation! Thank You! 💙💙💙Biden-Harris💙💙💙 The alternative for our democracy is Unthinkable! PLEASE keep talking about the achievements of President Biden! Honest & Capable! A Great Team Working Everyday for Americans! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Thank you Heather.

Heather has an amazing grasp on history and communicating the changing landscape of politics.

Heather Cox Richardson is simply brilliant!

People and news agencies need to start using the word "corruption". I've yet to hear a single news source or politician use this word in regards to the Supreme Court even though it's blatantly obvious. Please don't be timid about speaking the truth.

Vote Blue!! Thanks, Heather Cox Richardson!

I could listen the the Professor all day 🇺🇸 Happy 4th all!

The priority is keeping the expertise and integrity of the current administration…that said, I don’t have evidence the the potential “ save our democracy “ voter we’re depending upon will accept a swap out and still show up in sufficient numbers! This must be handled with pure cool headed pragmatism…even though it’s the most emotional and desperate I have ever felt about our country’s vulnerability…THIS is an ACTUAL battle and STRATEGY must be the order of the day!

So grateful for you and others who speak the truth.

Heather, thank you for speaking the truth. Shame on the mainstream media for NOT calling Trump out on his numerous lies.

I’m thinking here! Who was the guy that said, “If you continually lie long enough, the lies become truth!” 7+ years of continuous Trump lies, we have become immune to his bullshit, and worry about Bidens age? WTF😡

HCR gives it to us straight every time.

Contentwise, one of the most important interviews in American history.

Thank you !!! Message to CNN - Please Feature the brilliant Health Cox Richardson ongoingly. Make her a regular Contributor. As an American History professor she is expert at seeing the 'whole picture' and putting current events into the long scope of history. And, that is CRITICAL at this time. We have a tendency to look at isolated instances and miss the overall picture.

Wow- great interview. Thanks you Amanpour for this and a big thank you to Ms Richardson. You are spot on! I read you almost everyday since your info is the real news of the day. I wish we had journalists that report like you do.

Thank you for having Ms. Richardson on as your guest and please 🙏🏽 welcome her back soon.

Heather Cox Richardson - the best!!! Finally, a discussion that makes sense. Thank you Cristian and Heather!

Excellent interview!

Viewed by non American citizens, it's seems that the American people are crossing their fingers and hoping that all will be Ok. Why aren't they engaged ? The future of their country depends on it.

Heather, God bless you!

Smart lady! Supporting JB all the way !! Not entertaining any other character running in his place.

Parallel -> Germany 1933 - I prefer Democracy - What has happened to the GOP/supreme court (The Enabling Act)? I guess fighting with the Allies (defense of democracy) in WW2 was a waste of lives, time & money

Heather is SO articulate. I just hope enough folks are listening!

Two of my all time favorite women. Thank you HCR and CA.

You can’t play by a different set of rules than the people trying to oppress you , if they bring a gun you bring a tank.

A legally construed coup (my thoughts too), thanks in part/largely? to Mitch McConnell. Behaviors we once thought were unethical, even immoral, and therefore required no preventative legislation, have been blown to pieces by the right wing, the same folks who complain there's too much legislation, too many rules. They cannot be trusted to act ethically. It's a sad day, this July 4th. 😞

Thank you Heather for speaking truth. Mainstream Media should be ashamed of themselves.

Thank you, Heather Cox Richardson, for helping us keep from drowning in fear. You deserve so much appreciation and recognition for your clear thinking and articulation of the reality. You should get the Nobel Prize!

Finally a voice of wisdom and truth on mainstream media.

Well said. Several points no one else has made. Fair criticism of CNN

Respect for HCR!

Thanks for being the voice of reason Heather Cox Richardson!

Somehow my mind wants to wander to Don McLean singing the words "....the day the music died."

After LBJ declared he wasn’t going to run for another term as president, Bobby Kennedy most likely would have been nominated at the 1968 Convention, and not Humphrey-Muskie! We will never know, but Bobby Kennedy would have definitely defeated Nixon-Agnew in the election!👍💥

I will Never bow to a leader of this country. Never kneel. Never kiss a ring.

1July2024: The American President was given an Invisibility Cloak hand-tailored by those 6 MAGA Justices.

Heather Cox Richardson is an amazing communicator. Wish she could be cloned!

more Heather Cox Richardson, thank you !

There's only 1 choice this election: BLUE for Democracy. No distractions, no 3rd parties.

Thanks so much for your clear thinking and analysis, HCR. Sad time for our democracy.

No more blind justice. And I refuse to recognize any SCOTUS.

AMEN!!!! THANK YOU FOR SAYING EXACTLY HOW IT IS.! AMERICANS MUST VOTE FOR DEMS ONLY!

I trust Heather Cox Richardson and I'm relieved she did this interview.

Presidents are the executive head of state. Biden understands this and relies on a good cabinet and team. His accomplishments during his first term were extraordinary. That’s why we should vote for him so he can continue with his work.

I am voting for the Democratic Team!! The Republican Team has demonstrated an inability to discern right from wrong and truth from fiction.

I would vote for a deceased squirrel before I would vote for Donald and the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society. Vote Blue or be damned.

Throwing out the Chevron Doctrine is a dark disaster.

These women are the best of us. Speak!

Thank you. This is spot-on!

This was an important conversation. Thanks for posting it.

Sounds like we're doomed actually or perceptionally. What a country and what a mess. 😢

Listen to HCR, People!

So well said. What a relief that I am not alone. Biden, a hero of judicious patience, is willing to use a team that we can trust, and he will work to keep our decency intact. I don't want to consider a change of candidate, as I am positive this kind, seasoned intelligence, will help the Republicans recover from this smarmy excuse. And the Media did it. NYT PBS and all. I am disgusted about us, but I do LOVE our beautiful world. May we live to share our good fortune.

“This is a Coup…It’s a Coup”. Finally someone with authority speaks the truth.

when will the dems use this info and make the case that needs to be stated clearly and widely ...

Heather Cox Richardson? Definitely a fan!

Thank you for calling the media out. The media has only focused on Biden since the debate.

Thank you Heather!

Vote! Vote! Vote! Vote! Vote! Get your asses out and VOTE in November like your life depends on it! Because you have no idea how much it does at this moment in time!

You are absolutely correct !
