  • Current events with Historical Context

    I like how Dr. Lichtman and his son bring the context of history to what is happening and also they genuinely care about each other which is nice. This is a very informative show.

  • One of the last trustworthy voices in politics

    Allan Lichtman is one of the last trustworthy contemporary voices in politics. Legacy media has completely sold out, lost most credibility, and sacrificed all principles. Allan and his son do a great job breaking down what is happening in Washington, and they do so while preserving the truth. They continue to speak truth to power, unlike most voices in this dire moment. When it feels like everyone is complacent in a time of disgrace in the US, Allan and his son give me hope that there is at leas... more

  • Trustworthy, insightful, & entertaining

    My wife & I have been watching this show on YouTube since last summer, right before the infamous Biden-Trump debate that so many people made into a big deal. Since then, through all the insane twists & turns of this scary roller coaster ride the USA continues to be on, Sam & Allan have always been voices of reason to help guide us through these very uncertain times. As a historian, Professor Lichtman brings the knowledge & expertise that we so desperately need, especially now. And Sam brings his... more

  • Exceptional analysis through a historical lens

    Truth and evidence based analysis of political events with a keen historical perspective. Professor Luchtnan and his son Sam discuss a particular topic and then take questions. Very well done show.

  • Dudes a Hack

    Got 2016 & 2024 wrong and thinks he’s the second coming of Christ himself. His Keys aren’t even a bad indicator, just the way he analyzes them thru an extremely politically bias POV is. The voices in your head are more reliable as a source

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Did Republicans Erase Black Voting Power in Tennessee?! | Lichtman Live #229
Q: Do you think the current redistricting moves are primarily about partisanship or race, and does it matter which motive is proven?
Regardless of whether the motive is partisan or racial, the impact—diluting minority voting power through district design—remains the same, which is why the speakers argue the discriminatory effects are the key concern, not strictly intent.
Did Republicans Erase Black Voting Power in Tennessee?! | Lichtman Live #229
Q: What is the historical significance of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, and why do you think its removal matters today?
Section 5 preclearance required certain jurisdictions to get DOJ approval before changing voting rules, effectively blocking discriminatory practices like packing and cracking; its removal removes a powerful federal check, allowing partisan districting to reemerge and potentially dilute minority influence.
Trump’s Iran War Is Costing WAY More Than Americans Were Told | Lichtman Live #227
Q: What is the endgame for this war and what are the plans to end it?
The hosts state that there is no clear endgame or plan presented, expressing concern about long-term strategy and predictability in the Persian Gulf.
Trump’s Iran War Is Costing WAY More Than Americans Were Told | Lichtman Live #227
Q: Do the Dems still have a chance for the midterms?
Yes, the hosts suggest there is still a path for Democrats, noting that enthusiasm among Democratic voters and political dynamics can influence outcomes even if polls are mixed.
Is Iran “BEGGING” for a Deal??? | Lichtman Live #217
Q: Do you think Trump will put troops on the ground in Iran?
Yes, the hosts think there is a real possibility of ground troops being deployed, and they run a poll showing a majority leaning yes.
