In the final episode of a four-part series on the American presidency, Bill and historian Douglas Brinkley discuss the upcoming 2024 election and compare the qualities and visions of Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Brinkley highlights Biden's experience and character, noting his long career in politics and his ability to work across the aisle. He also emphasizes Biden's commitment to democratic institutions and his belief in the importance of saving democracy. On the other hand, Brinkley describes Trump as an agent of chaos and authoritarianism, who prioritizes isolationism and disregards scientific evidence. He warns that a second term for Trump would have significant consequences for the country, including the potential erosion of NATO and the environment. Despite the challenges, Brinkley encourages listeners to have faith in America and to continue fighting for its values and democracy.
