The Way I Heard It with Mike Rowe · 492: Jon Erwin—Young Washington · 30 Jun 2026 podcast

movie really works in a fundamental way and um but but I do think ultimately

we we have way more that unites us than divides us and we've just lost sight of it.

And my hope is that the movie will be one of those things that

could be an agent of getting us to uh

to love the the ethos of our country together.

I think it can do that, seriously.

Yeah.

If you could find that someone did call Washington the indispensable man, and that is a true statement.

For sure.

There it's undeniable that if this guy does not and here's the crazy thing is he knew.

he had an awareness, especially when he went back, as he said, to the gallows when to become president.

Um uh he knew he embodied the concept, he knew he was the galvanizing figure, and twice he gave up absolute power, gave it back to the people.
