Love this interview. I also try to watch the HBO John Adams series every year. What an amazing man and woman!

This episode was stellar. Although all of these documentaries on the Presidents are of infinite value, some of them really stand above the high standard. Together today with David McCullough I felt I was propelled back to the age of the "fireside chats" of FDR. I was very pleased to see them discuss the issue with regards to contact with the Dutch in the immediate stage of the American Revolution. Barbara Tuchman's "The First Salute" provided me with aspects of this history that has largely been ignored. Wonderful to see Mr. McCullough emphasis this. Thank You.

I love reading history and find there are few historians that can captivate my interest from start to end, but Mr McCullough is one of those few historians that I enjoy listening to. He has given me a new perspective on John Adams and I agree what a fascinating man he was including his wife. Amazing family much respect to them. Thank you for this video.

Its all about inciting rage, dividing the population and generating click bait content regurgitated from deceptively edited soundbites. Its sad that it has corroded so drastically. We have more in common than the partisan narratives suggest.

@@brutalhistory5682 That's more the fault of the media than the viewers. The #1 podcaster is Joe Rogan, and despite being a pot-smoking, ex-MMA fighter with seemingly no researchers and almost no staff, he's able to churn out multi-hour long interviews with historians, geologists, and even physicists and mathematicians as prominent as Roger Penrose himself. If he's able to do that, there's really no excuse for the absolute garbage we see on mainstream media networks today.

Still hard to believe they haven't built a memorial in DC for this great man. The plans have been around for years but never realized. I am an ardent John Adams fan who firmly believes that the reason Adams was never given his due was the fact that, as Mr. McCullough appropriately mentioned, he did not support party politics. This made him a target of both parties, and especially some of the other so-called great founders whose names are mentioned in this discussion. By the time Adams was appointed VP, the practice of dirty politics had begun and he, an honorable and honest man, was an easy target.

21:13 Back when this program aired in 1999, JA was the longest-lived President at age 90. Ronald Reagan broke that record in 2001 & lived to age 93 years & 4 months. Gerald Ford broke the record again shortly before his death in 2006 at 93 years & 5 months. George Bush Sr broke the record yet again in 2017, & in June 2018 was the 1st Pres to turn 94. UPDATE, Mar 21 2019: Jimmy Carter surpassed Bush's lifespan today & thus holds the record now.

To live that long back in the 18th and 19th centuries is remarkable. I'm glad he lives to see his son become President as well as (just barely) make it to the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

All, but Reagan (to my knowledge), are directly involved in the demise of our country and setting our trajectory towards the NWO. and both the Bush men and Ford were involved in the assassination of JFK.

Adams' intellect was solid and deep. Jefferson was more esoteric and had a reason to fear the common man. All slaveholders did on some level. Having the two of them at that critical time in our history was beyond fortunate. Yes, JFK, during a dinner he held at the White House for Nobel Laureates, said the last time that room contained more intelligence was when Jefferson dined there alone. Fortunately, McCullough would give Adams his due not long after this broadcast. As for the highest POTUS IQ, however, I suspect that would go to TR 🧐

Alexander Hamilton was smarter than them all put together and what's more he knew it and so did they. It's why they hated him. All but Knox, Washington and Morris who appreciated talented men and didn't feel threatened by them due to petty jealousy like Adam's and Jefferson.

Fascinating. I so appreciate McCullough's scholarship as well as his charm, and the dedication to literature, education and intelligence of this program. I do find it bothersome that everyone seems to pronounce Quincy as Quinzee. The Adamses would not have liked that.
