Jon Meacham!!!! Love him. Such an intelligent, quick-witted guy.
I have a crush on him 💓
I love John Meecham. It's great to see his sense of humor, something other than the amazing perspectives and historical elements he brings to the table on MSNBC.
Did you check out Colbie's old buddy, Jon Stewart on the (at the time) trending video from CNN, where he's speaking to the US Congress on behalf of 911 First Responders? Dude is (along with them) a legit HERO. Colbie would be proud of his friend.
there's a video on facebook with Colbert talking about it and telling people to call congressmen
watched it this morning, and then this, because YT recommended: czcams.com/video/i-4r9XE5EM0/video.html
pure gold. Jon Stewart is
He ripped them a new asshole, and I enjoyed every second of it.
I agree 100%. The morons who didn't even bother to show up should be ashamed of themselves and I loved John Stewart's rant. More of these need to be said and broadcast.
@@kathryn3950 Although I agree with the first part of what you said, did you see the same speech I did? He enjoyed none of it. It's heartbreaking that he even needs to be there to convince congress to care about this issue.
wow,
"patriotism and protest are our two wings that enable us to take flight..." 4:13,
love Meacham.
then there's Tom Leher's Folk Song Army >>> czcams.com/video/yygMhtNQJ9M/video.html
Oh, he's a gem. My husband has teased me over my Meacham crush for nearly 20 years.
A much needed interview in such times
I could watch them talk for 30 mins and not get bored. This was a remarkable interview. Thanks Stephen.
Charles Uwakwe Love Meacham. He’s also super sarcastic and I love him for it
LOL to Jon Meacham. Quick wit and perfect timing! :). Also, wow, TimMcGraw just ages gracefully in every possible way.
Very cool interview. Never would've thought of these two guys hooking up.
I love John Meacham!
What a great duo! Really enjoy their sharing. Meachams voice is so comforting. Can't wait to read the book.
I agree, that deep, strong voice gives me chills (good chills)
It's amazing what happens when two people sit down and talk. Complete opposite sides politically but are able to come together and find common ground. THAT IS AMERICA. I have a roommate that holds different political views, but we share something in common...we both faught to make this country a safer and better place. Because at the end of the day, left or right, we all love this country and would do anything to protect her!
@Eric Burkheimer Damn, I didnt know that.
More broadly ... there never was a year usa was NOT at war with SOME country somewhere ... and those wars were intended to strengthen usa's grip as an empire OVER other nations. The problem is war mongering and imperialism .. of ANY nation. A global green new deal is needed to save earth.
@@Brianbeesandbikes say that to the family members of the three thousand that died on 9/11, including 343 Firefighters. Sometimes God's wrath is a bit too slow.
@Eric Burkheimer Guess what brotha...I dont give a flying fuck what party you align yourself with. Just as long as you have love for our country and what she stands for.
@@sramoore0075187 911 was completely preventable. bin Laden had been clear for a decade about usa support of Israel/ funding genocide of Palestinians and other issues related to usa imperialism and what he would do if we did not take the valid concerns of mid east peoples to heart. Moreover it was usa that created bin Laden when we used him temporarily to be the vanguard against ussr communism in Afghanistan only to flip him the bird when ussr pulled out. This is the same pattern with Sadam and dozens of other strong men we've put on cia payroll.
Like any empire b4, usa only achieved this 150 years of status by stepping on the necks of people domestically and overseas ... fueled by warmongering and economies that support war. Selling to both Nazis and brits/french during ww2 was an esp glaring eg ... bc usa feared communists more than fascists. Recall Hitler took usa's slavery institutions as inspiration for his Final Solution. There's nothing democratic about it. Compare that trajectory to indigenous tribal groups that have lived in harmony with not destruction of their region's resources for more then 10,000 years.
God has nothing to do with it either. The 99% have got to rise up against oligarchs ... not gods ... that divide to conquer us. Simple goal. Might save a planet.
We need to take Jefferson's quote All are Created Equal ... and stretch it to not only include the millions usa has killed outright or through proxies like we are doing now via Saudi Arabia and Yemen ... but to the animals and plants that also deserve a home on earth. The greed with which man's so called civilization is as uncivil as it gets w regard any living thing that does not serve to feed human all consuming needs.
YES obama and trump admins have yet to act responsibly w regard to the suffering 911 brought to those families. What else is new in that congress loves to fund the killing / but abandons those that served. Sound familiar?

Yeah, but neither of them mentioned "Lift Every Voice & Sing". Thanks, Jon, for playing it!
I noticed that! I was wondering why they played that..
The song Jon Batiste played as they came out was "Lift every voice and sing", sometimes described as the Black national anthem.
I didn't hear Jon Baptiste play anything. Jon Batiste, on the other hand...
Typo corrected
very fucking cool and a good interview. they touched some very hard topics and handled them well. bravo
The conversation is so important
I love you Jon Meacham 💕
In spite of Everything … America is wonderful . keep it up.. Love Bo.
Tim is fine wine
Let's do a condensed version of this book as a concert/TV program: Jon can read a section and Tim, et. al can sing an portion of the related song... what a PROGRAM!!!
"We didn't steal your music, we just 'sampled' it!"
- DJ Benny "Electric Kite" Franklin
New Message LOL😂😂😂
I actually lol’d!
Tim Mcgraw's body Ohhhh My God fabulous!!!!
LOVE THESE TWO GUYS TOGETHER!...
And to think Tim McGraw is actually 2 years elder to Jon. Wow!
I love how Jon Batiste made country music icon Tim McGraw come out to the music of the “Negro National Anthem.”
I had to look that up. Good ear. I wonder if either of the guests noticed - a very subtle stab by Batiste.
Meachum's Louisiana burns 😆😆😆😆
I KNOW ... cat fight and regionalism / disrespect run amuck ... so much for can't we all just get along...
My new favorite patriotic song is "Heavy Flag" by The Accidentals from Traverse City, Michigan. Gives me chills every time.
Every piece that Duke Ellington & Charles Mingus wrote tells profound parts of America's story. Are they in the book?
Great collaboration
Love stuff like this- "Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World" was super good at discussing where our music comes from and I'd be down to read something about what it says.
Jon Meacham is my hero! Love that guy😊
Jon Meacham is one of the best!
I wanted to hear the rest of Jon Batiste's "Battle Hymn of the Republic" he was just getting into for their exit... Was surprised, when McGraw mentioned it, that Stephen said nothing about the fact that Jon Batiste did this incredible version, commissioned by The Atlantic, as the theme music for their Radio Atlantic....
Lil off-topic, but DAMN - that hat looks so cool! It really works for him. Not everybody can pull that off, I don't think.
Boy Howdy ! Tim McGraw is still HAWT !!
Love Jon Meacham! But I think we should include that history is written by the victors.
As it should. Besides, have you noticed how incredibly bad losers the loser behave? Bad faith, bigotry, racism you name it more than 150 years after the losers are still whining.
That's what the Mongolians said. That's what the Romans said. History outlasts all winners.
@@quantumcat7673 Depends on the fight .... white power is quickly rebuilding from their "ashes" ... tho jim crow laws... the racial divide between schools and the never addresses profiteering north AND south had w regard to slave trade and its modern equiv prisons continues unabated even during Obama's admin. That's not whining ... that looks like winning to me. Tragically.
@@Brianbeesandbikes It is amazing how blind you are. It is not Obama's or the north's fault if the south is of bad faith, corrupted, racist, bigot, lazy, ignorant. No Sir, it is their own fault. Please, take your responsibilities and get an education now. Do your homework before saying anything cause you do not know what you are talking about.
Great interview with 2 handsome men!
Has a historian, my degree was in US History, my senior paper on the Vietnam War, mostly on the fact that the North was NEVER going to quit, the music of that era was one of the reasons the US couldn't continue without breaking itself apart! Our next door neighbor, an enlisted member of the United States Marine Corps, had been killed in that War, brought it just too close to home! And, if the War continued another year, I was looking at a draft number of 18, pretty much a given that I would be called by my "neighbors and friends" to protect the US, in South Vietnam! (I ended up being a USAF NCO medic, never leaving CONUS.) Every once in a while I find myself listening to the song "Abraham, Martin, and John", with Bobby added in the song following his assassination in June 1968! I believe that Dion, by adding Abraham, tied the Civil War with the Vietnam War musically, and nearly with a repeat of another civil war over the latter war! There were some pro war songs, almost all early in the Vietnam War, then turning more against the War as the 1960's end, and the War just kept going on! I'm not sure how these two, a noted Historian and a famous Country singer, got together for this, but, I can see where music from various eras of our Nation's history act as a "trip wire" to some part of the brain that takes you back to that time! Maybe, it will help us to try to find that one out of ten that brings Americans to a better place in our society! Maybe!
BTW the brits stole God save the Queen from the Austrians. Downloaded the book yesterday, can highly recommend.
here in sweden it's called the kings song
It was composed by Händel who's born in Halle Germany. Nothing was stolen and I don't need a book for that.
Thought that was the Sex Pistols.
Cool!
I walked through a county courthouse square
On a park bench an old man was sitting there
I said, your old courthouse is kinda run down
He said, naw, it'll do for our little town
I said, your old flagpole has leaned a little bit
And that's a ragged old flag you got hanging on it
He said, have a seat, and I sat down
Is this the first time you've been to our little town?
I said, I think it is
He said, I don't like to brag
But we're kinda proud of that ragged old flag
You see, we got a little hole in that flag there when
Washington took it across the Delaware
And it got powder-burned the night Francis Scott Key
Sat watching it writing say can you see
And it got a bad rip in New Orleans
With Packingham and Jackson tuggin' at its seams
And it almost fell at the Alamo
Beside the texas flag, but she waved on though
She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville
And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill
There was Robert E. Lee, Beauregard, and Bragg
And the south wind blew hard on that ragged old flag
On Flanders field in World War one
She got a big hole from a Bertha gun
She turned blood red in World War Two
She hung limp and low a time or two
She was in Korea and Vietnam
She went where she was sent by Uncle Sam
She waved from our ships upon the Briny foam
And now they've about quit waving her back here at home
In her own good land here she's been abused
She's been burned, dishonored, denied, and refused
And the government for which she stands
Is scandalized throughout the land
And she's getting threadbare and wearing thin
But she's in good shape for the shape she's in
'Cause she's been through the fire before
And I believe she can take a whole lot more
So we raise her up every morning
We take her down every night
We don't let her touch the ground and we fold her up right
On second thought, I do like to brag
'Cause I'm mighty proud of that ragged old flag
Songwriters: John Cash
Thank you for posting the words to Johnny’s song.
Oh! No wonder Tim pushed Meacham at the end of the “Meanwhile” segment: They are buddies! 😂 I was like WTF? 😂
A hat walked onto the stage with a man hidden underneath it.
My favorite patriotic song is the one by Tim McGraw talks about a soldier I don't remember what it's called but that's the one
Damnnnnnnn Tim ...... Still looking hot AF! I love this man! I like it ... I love it... I want some more of it...
Id buy that and im british. Should bring out a cd set too.
Where can I find a recording of Tim McGraw’s “I’ve Been Everywhere”?
@Ian
I just Googled it.
Here's what I found:
"I've Been Everywhere" is actually not a Tim McGraw song, but a Hank Snow song popularized by the late country legend Johnny Cash.
The actual Tim McGraw song you're interested in is simply titled: "Everywhere" and you can listen to it/stream it for free here on CZcams, or, you could also buy his album, not surprisingly, titled: *Everywhere*
Hope that helped.☺
(When in doubt?
Google works amazingly well.)
P.s. or just type the song name into CZcams's search bar and it should pop up.
Probably both songs will pop up, and you'll see, and hear, the difference right away.
@@toddvandell85 Yes, I did that, but it's not what I meant. I meant "I've Been Everywhere" because I thought that every country artist has made a recording of that song, and I want to hear his.
My ONLY crush in my 60 had been Tim !,,,,
What about the Blues ?
blues gets to the heart n soul of the matter ... sheds the patriotism crap ...
McGraw is as good as Stormy Daniels! Catch the way he opens his jacket when he walks onstage to show off how tight those jeans are. Ufff!!! That made the temperature rise quite a bit.
Tim, "That's me holding Meacham up at the beach cause he was drinking too much."
Always surprises me that Americans in the US refer to late 18th century Britons and Americans as clear and distinctly separate - the tunes were shared, so it wasn’t American lyrics to British tunes, it was new lyrics to shared tunes. So, you get to use My Country ‘it’s of thee, Star spangled banner, Yankee Doodle, Garry Owen Hail to the Chief, and all the rest just of those tunes as legitimately as we do.
Who's here for Jon Meacham?
Meacham is hilarious, I low-key ship him... Don't tell anyone 😘
Not to be a stickler, but in the chyron on the thumbnail Jon Meacham's name is misspelled, with an e instead of the last a.
Woody Guthrie writes the best patriotic songs imo.
Thing is... he died in '67.
@@narvul Francis Scott Key died in 1843. What's your point?
@@Angie-Pants Probably..... that he wrote....??
Most patriotic song everyone can rally around: America we stand as one by Dennis Madalone
What’s that intro song? It’s on the tip of my tongue...(best part of the interview, btw...)
It's called lift every voice and sing the Black national anthem
Papa Bell thanks! I thought so but Tim McGraw threw me off.
These people are more optimistic than I am...
Find a way.:)
Stiffies and hats go together that's what the girls prefer

Hopefully there's something in there related to Native Americans when the children were forced to sing.
Is he related to Joy and Ward?
Ham hiring under hat
With all due respect to Mr. Meacham, no conservatives don't have a point, not even one out of ten times. Just like how the Confederates did not have a point. Also, "My Country 'Tis of Thee" makes a better anthem than "Star Spangled Banner".
yes indeed! My fave songs about usa >>

As a liberal northern country-girl who grew up on a farm, there is still something intensely hot about a cowboy. Tim McGraw seems like a genuinely nice man and good husband.
I think Tim is liberal in many ways as well. He loves hunting, but still supports gun control (just not gun removal of course). He has caught a lot of flack for that from his fans, but he stands for what he believes in.
Tim is handsome.
“If you’re on the left you love data and reason”. I’m not too sure I would agree with that. If you’re on the extremes, either left or right one tends to operate from a visceral sense of righteousness and illogicity. I would say that moderates, be the right or left of centre, are the ones that love data, intellect and reason.
These impulsive hacky trump insults; this is basically the entire show. Jon Meacham is a snarky queen
"Sweet Land of Liberty" - for all Americans. What is taking so long?
Poor beautiful fish - died for that photo. An act of violence against nature should be judged as severely as that against society or another person. - Dr. Michael W.Fox
Saluting flags and worshiping stone gods is a distraction from our half bllion years of accumulating wisdom shared across time that elevated us from being mindless predators into becoming Domesticated Humans.
Jon Meacham & Tim McGraw AND "Grandpa Mr. Bean With Grandpa Justified"
Jon Meacham & Tim McGraw AND "The Southern Felix & Oscar"
Does the book mention racist lyrics in the anthem?
No refuge could save the hireling & slave/
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:/
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave/
O’er the land of the free & the home of the brave.
Anna Galesz True, the anthem is directed at the free, not slaves. It is a anthem for racists. Fitting for America, unless America wants to change.
According to Google Book search, yes those lyrics are included.
I love Jon Meacham, but I will NEVER get to the place in my heart where I look at a MAGA supporter (after ALL the CRAP we've endured the last three years) and think, "Hunh! You may have a point there." Sorry, ain't sorry. NEVER gonna happen.
And I'm kinda sick of hearing people say we've got to 'unite', we need to come together, all that hoo ha. I have ZERO desire to 'come together' with people who go along with the kind of evil, corrupt, injustice & racism & xenophobia & misogyny & homophobia, ETC!!!! (too much to list) & the COUNTLESS crimes against humanity, civility, & the constitution that Trump & his ilk have perpetrated. Besides which, GOOD people do not go along with, remain silent in the face of, nor 'unite' with folks who've lost their way. If they did, Hitler would've never been defeated, & we'd still have slaves & slave owners in America.
Once again, LOVE Jon Meacham & don't have anything in particular against McGraw, but the entire premise of this book/interview was a big fat rotten egg for me.
@@omi_god In the U.S. we fight our "civil" wars in the voting booths. We learned (or should have learned) that spilling the blood of our fellow citizens was not a good thing and not something we should ever consider again. We make our arguments through our best weapon, the vote.
I feel bad for you then. You really don't know and love any Trump supporters? You know how you change hearts and minds? Through respect. I have many relatives who voted for Trump. I have an aunt I am very close to who voted for him and who is against me on many topics. I have opened up her mind so many times and have slowly changed the way she has viewed certain things because I actually talk to her, speak from the heart, listen to her, respect what she has to say, and then we find a common ground. I got her to vote for Obama four years ago, and against a gay marriage ban (which she used to be in approval of) from doing those things. Nobody is gonna listen to you if you disregard them.

"...the prescient view." Tim, honey, I think your high-fallutin' talkin' is a li'l bit above the level of your fans.
This is so wrong. Especially Meacham with all his sweet talk, his MLK references and such.
This is not a conversation. It's the transparent attempt of someone with no intention of having his worldview challenged to win over some gullible people from the other side. To refer to Jefferson and then to follow with: "We don't build monuments for people who build walls and shut doors." speaks volumes with regard to his understanding of history.
Wrong to speak up for inclusiveness vs racial hatred?
win gullible people or educate / shame them into addressing their participation in enforcing the unequal treatment of people?
@@Brianbeesandbikes Wrong to act as if you were speaking up for inclusiveness all the while whitewashing history in favor of presidents on which you hang your southern pride.
Wrong to claim Jefferson wanted equality for all when what he really meant equality just for male, white, Christian folk.
You wanna defend Jefferson. Fine by me. But do it openly. Let the people hear your honest opinion, but do not wrap it into some easily applaudable rejection of Trump just so people assume, you agree with each other.
@@kameramoerder yup
@@kameramoerder I think you would enjoy watching their interview on Morning Joe yesterday. They had more time to address more issues.
@@christianbrenes664 Thanks. I'll make sure to check it out!
