America Repeats the Same Crisis Every 80 Years. Here's How We Overcome It - Bob Crawford

Does America face a defining crisis every 80 years? In this episode, I sit down with musician and author Bob Crawford to explore the remarkable life of John Quincy Adams, why history may be rhyming once again, and what one of our most overlooked founding leaders can teach us about democracy, public service, and the challenges facing America today. Bob Crawford is the bassist for The Avett Brothers, the host of American History Hotline on iHeartRadio, and cohost of The Road to Now on SiriusXM’s POTUS channel, where he engages public figures and scholars in conversations that connect the past to the present. Crawford also serves as co-managing partner of the Press On Fund, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing pediatric cancer research.
