Note: This episode was produced before the news of the
passing of former president Jimmy Carter. The episode scheduled for
this upcoming Friday, Jan. 3, will cover Carter's legacy.
Today's episode: Biden's humiliating fall. Trump's
historic comeback. Assad was ousted. Israel destroyed Gaza. Russia
continued to wage war on Ukraine. Democracy retreated. An accused
murderer became a folk hero. Caitlin Clark was Time's
Athlete of the Year. And the New York Jets -- Martin Di Caro's
favorite sports team -- had another miserable campaign. It's the
2024 Year in Review, with historians Jeremi Suri and Jeffrey Engel.
Happy New Year, everyone. May 2025 be the year when humanity gets
its act together.
