Description
“We really can change the direction of our country if we choose to participate in it.” Historian and “Democracy Awakening” author Heather Cox Richardson chats with Desi Lydic about her work on the political state of America and her most-read Substack politics newsletter, “Letters from an American.” The two discuss how the historic 2026 midterms compare to past eras of American political change, how the Democrats’ road to progress requires holding corrupt leaders accountable, and historical figures (dead or alive) Richardson would invite to a hypothetical dinner party with her and Donald Trump. #DailyShow #HeatherCoxRichardson #LettersFromAnAmerican Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.
