I would give anything to spend an evening in a Maine cabin with these three and a bottle (or 5😂) of wine.

Why only look at the Republican degradation of democracy. Why not discuss the last administration and the Democratic destruction of everything we knew during COVID. There is no more democracy.

Mitch...perfect pitch moderator@OINO😊

248 years and there are still the same problems still for the same people exists a nice idea is just that. It will take at least another 248 years at this rate and I’ll bet the same problems exist.

Yet to this very day American Equality has failed magnificently a nice idea never to be implemented in any reasonable way. WOKE was a request that, all be found equal before the law failed miserably

I saw other interviews of Isaacson and it is evident he has lot objectivity. Musk is a major jerk lacking moral integrity, but he cannot acknowledge it and instead talks about all his business accomplishments, because people don't want to buy a book about a jerk.

These people like to sit around and smell their own farts they don’t know the real world. that guy is the most hypocritical human being ever to walk planet earth and is everything wrong with our institutions

They all seem like they dont live in the real world. The guy on the right is really TERRIBLE.

I love Ford...as a broadcaster I know not to draw attention to myself and I wish the interviewer didn't

Jason Berry is My heroe. He exposed The p3d0phile of Marcial Maciel in The Hartford Courant in the 97. Recently i Buy his book "Vows of Silence". As a Mexican (Mexico is The birthplace of Maciel and his Criminal group) i admire This incredible Journalist.

The Worst interviewer I've Ever Seen

I missed this session in person and am grateful it's posted online. Thank you.

Hi Bhavna, we went to elementary school together! Always so smart and always offering valuable contributions!!!

Ken Burns is in with Clarence Thomas and Harlan Crow. He's lost all credibility in my opinion. Makes me wonder about the validity of every history piece he's done, how he bent it to cowtow to Crow.

Imagine writing Gentleman in Moscow, and originally not knowing anything about Russia. What an imagination!

I was not able to attend this in person so just now found it on social media. I actually have hope and optimism after a week of utter despair, post debate. We can save our country. And we will!

Thank God Wall Street kept him under cover for 20 years so we now can witness the momentous release of this pure gem of a novelist as he initiates a new American renaissance. 💎

Please read Marshall McLuhan or Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman, to better understand these issues.

Jeffrey Rosen is very bright

Life long learning is much different from 'deep reading', Ken Burns doesn't get it. It's not about the content but rather the process and the medium of literacy, which creates self determination.

Who is this interviewer? She should learn how to let the interview flow. We missed out on many gems Sheila Johnson was trying to deliver bc of her interruptions! 🙄

Katherine Gehl....incented?? That's not a word.🤦🤦 Incentivised is the correct word.😳🤨

Heather Cox Richardson from the 35 minute mark on is absolutely inspiring and amazing. This is the part that gives anyone paying attention hope that is required right now.

My top two non-fiction writers!

Rules of Civility... could not put it down. Towles is a quitessentially a poet. And a great novelist. Best of both worlds.

Bless you Heather. I'm low income and educated. I cannot afford paywalls. Yet I learn. The right wing want destruction . We embrace joy and civility . Thank you all. 💙💙💙💙

The consciousness movement shows we can change. We call it practice.

We need a Living Constitution. Not antiquarian. Conversation and civility is my democracy. Power and dominance are narcissistic and misogynistic. Patriarchy must go.

I adore book fests and am glad I lived in the South where writing was an art. Met Wendell Berry and Adrienne Rich in Nashville.

This was an excellent discussion. I would challenge all of you to take some time to find more scholars of a multitude of races to grow this discussion. Do the same thing to find a way to grow our Democracy and improve what the founding fathers were reaching for in America.

A good panel. But how like the U.S> to usurp the title that the concept of democracy and equality stemmed from them, from Jefferson. Surely a bit of classical reading will point to the ancient Greeks (remember the origin of the word 'Democracy') - and of Socrates in particular, will help. Socrates himself struggled tremendously with the 'purity' and practicality of the concept.

miss her when she was beautiful

The fact that she turns off comments on her videos says a lot.

Wonderful to hear two fine historians that are hopeful and confident about our Democracy!

And everyone is just a world class prosti#ute.

Only in America, the celebrated academics are not familiar with concepts central to national identity. Prof. Richardson's unfamiliarity with the meaning of the First amendment (I just saw her babbling in some letter) is not surprising at all. After all, in this country, justices don't know what is a woman, university presidents don't know that genocide is not a good thing and Prof. Richardson herself doesn't know that the demented shouldn't lead a country (pretend interview with Joe Biden - last month) Maybe in some three hundred years Americans will have genuinely decent (and not just heavily marketed) universities. At this moment, we just have Hollywood preschool dropouts lecturing zombie graduates of Claudine Gay universities to the applause by genuinely illiterate worshippers of PBS/NPR and their diversity successes (100% Democrats, 0% Republicans) dr anna

One, if not THE, best books I’ve read in the last decade. Any understanding of this moment in American must include an understanding of this book. Thank you so much for posting.

Economic inequality, anyone?

Thank you for giving me hope. Wonderful panel.

Khan Sir is Hero Teacher for the World. With Love and Affection!!!! from Hyderabad, INDIA

VTN = CIA imo [Langley clown man -- like Kendi, deAngelo et al]

Prof Glaude is a moral leader for our moment. Amazing leader. Could listen to him all day. His students are so lucky. For the rest of us, I thank the New Orleans Book Festival for posting these talks. It’s our classroom.

Cleo, let Nicole talk!

Best interview on Viet... and I went down the rabbit hole on Viet Than Nguyen... fantastic job.

Wonderful. Hope Trump was watching, but he would have no idea what was being discussed.

Delightfully insightful conversation.
