Open Book with Anthony Scaramucci · America Repeats the Same Crisis Every 80 Years. Here's How We Overcome It - Bob Crawford · 23 Jun 2026 podcast

I didn't get the intern, the part-time position for the summer at WPVI in Philly.

And the reporter I worked for said drive south, knock on doors, hand out resumes.

I wind up in North Carolina.

And that starts me on the road with the Ava brothers.

And I worked in the film business for a while there, but history started even before the love of music.

I just, for some reason, Anthony, you know, there's these subjects that we just kind of are attracted to, or we just kind of know.

I think I owe it to growing up in the 70s when there were three channels, not 300, not 3,000.

And my old man would come home from work and sit on the couch and he'd watch the local news and then the national news, Walter Cronkite probably.

And then if there was a convention on, you had to watch the convention.

If there was a debate on, you had to watch the debate.

You were kind of a prisoner to it.

And my parents would hymn and haul about it.

But I loved it.

I was fascinated with it.

So I think that's kind of where it all starts for me.

Not easy to be the son of John and Abigail Adams.

John Adams writes to young John Quincy at one point, if you do not rise not only to the head of your profession, but of your country, it owes only to your own laziness.

slovenliness, and obstinacy.

A lot of pressure.

John, of course, John Adams, second president, but before that, one of our most inconsequential founding fathers.
