A 2021 survey of professional historians conducted by CSPAN ranks Carter 26th, between Grover Cleveland and James Garfield. Randy Harris and Jack Turney explore their ideas, hopes, and concerns about what 2025 will bring to our country and the human experience at large. The conversation touches on potential harms in the making and what we can do as individuals to offset those harms - particularly at the individual scale.
