Fighting simplistic history [Kevin Kruse interview]

At The Table

Kevin Kruse, professor of history at Princeton University, joins Jared to talk about telling nuanced stories, why he engages on Twitter, whether AG Bill Barr can be sure of his legacy, and the next big political issue: labor rights after COVID-19.

Segment 1: In a crisis, people "aren't gonna buy that gauzy, simplistic story"
Segment 2: Twitter "cross-pollinates pretty well"
Segment 3: Will this WH write its own history? "Just gonna be one voice... drowned out by facts"
Segment 4: "Essential workers" and a revival of Labor rights
