  • 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

  • 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
