    How Gloria Steinem Changed America — And What Happens Now?

    Lichtman Live #261Gloria Steinem changed the course of American history. Now, following her death at age 92, what happens to the movement she helped transform?For more than six decades, Steinem was one of the most influential voices in the American women's movement. As a journalist, author, organizer, and feminist activist, she helped bring issues including women's equality, reproductive rights, workplace discrimination, political representation, and gender roles into the center of American political life.She co-founded Ms. magazine and the National Women's Political Caucus and remained an advocate for women's rights and equality well into her later years. Her influence extended far beyond journalism and activism, helping reshape how generations of Americans understood gender, politics, and equality.Presidential historian Allan Lichtman reflects on Gloria Steinem's extraordinary life and examines the historical significance of her work. How did Steinem help change America? Which battles did she win—and which remain unfinished? And with one of the defining figures of the women's movement now gone, who carries her work forward?Join Allan Lichtman and Sam Lichtman for historical perspective and political analysis on Lichtman Live.🔔 Subscribe for more sharp insights on politics and history!📅 Join us LIVE Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9 PM Eastern!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyQx8dGfgcQ4WUhrKP0ORlQ/joinPreorder Great American Presidents: https://a.co/d/01OoeWQE📚 Order Conservative at the Core here: https://undpress.nd.edu/9780268210304/conservative-at-the-core/Conservative at the Core has been selected as a History finalist for the Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards: https://undpress.nd.edu/blog/2026/03/20/notre-dame-press-titles-named-2025-foreword-indies-finalists/👕🫏Check out Dr. Lichtman’s Merch Shop!🐘🧢 https://allan-lichtman.printify.me/Find all of our links here! 🔗https://linktr.ee/allanlichtman#GloriaSteinem #Feminism #WomensRights #AmericanHistory

    Hegseth’s Pentagon PURGE Just Cost Him the Army Secretary | Lichtman Live #260

    Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is stepping down after months of reported clashes with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, marking yet another major departure from the Pentagon's leadership.Driscoll submitted his resignation after serving just 18 months as the Army's top civilian official. His departure comes amid extraordinary turmoil within Army leadership, including Hegseth's firing of Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George, the departure of Gen. Christopher Donahue, and Hegseth's blocking of numerous military promotions. Recent reporting says Hegseth has removed at least 45 officers from promotion lists in 2026 alone.Presidential historian Allan Lichtman examines the growing upheaval inside the Pentagon and what it could mean for the U.S. military. Is Hegseth reshaping America's armed forces around loyalty? Why are so many senior military leaders being pushed aside or leaving? And what happens when political and personal conflicts reach the highest levels of military leadership?With the United States facing major challenges abroad, the latest resignation raises an increasingly urgent question: what is happening inside Pete Hegseth's Pentagon?Join Allan Lichtman and Sam Lichtman for independent political analysis, historical perspective, and discussion on Lichtman Live.🔔 Subscribe for more sharp insights on politics and history!📅 Join us LIVE Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9 PM Eastern!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyQx8dGfgcQ4WUhrKP0ORlQ/joinPreorder Great American Presidents: https://a.co/d/01OoeWQE📚 Order Conservative at the Core here: https://undpress.nd.edu/9780268210304/conservative-at-the-core/Conservative at the Core has been selected as a History finalist for the Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards: https://undpress.nd.edu/blog/2026/03/20/notre-dame-press-titles-named-2025-foreword-indies-finalists/👕🫏Check out Dr. Lichtman’s Merch Shop!🐘🧢 https://allan-lichtman.printify.me/Find all of our links here! 🔗https://linktr.ee/allanlichtman#PeteHegseth #Pentagon #DanDriscoll #USMilitary #LichtmanLive

    BREAKING: Supreme Court Hands Trump MASSIVE Win on Mail-In Voting | Lichtman Live #258

    The Supreme Court has handed President Donald Trump a major victory in his push to impose new restrictions on mail-in voting ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. In a 6–3 decision, the Supreme Court lifted a lower court injunction that had prevented key portions of Trump's executive order on mail voting from being implemented in 23 states and Washington, D.C. The order calls for major changes involving voter eligibility lists, federal agencies, and the handling of mail ballots by the U.S. Postal Service. However, additional legal challenges remain, and the Supreme Court has not yet decided whether Trump's order is ultimately constitutional. Presidential historian Allan Lichtman breaks down the Supreme Court's decision, Trump's battle over mail-in voting, and what these changes could mean with the 2026 midterm elections rapidly approaching. Could the ruling reshape how Americans vote in November? How much authority does a president have over elections traditionally administered by the states? And what happens next in the escalating legal battle over America's elections?

    Is Trump’s MAGA Base FINALLY Cracking??? | Lichtman Live #257

    Is Donald Trump’s MAGA base beginning to crack? President Trump has maintained remarkably strong loyalty among his core supporters throughout his political career, but are there signs that some of that support is beginning to weaken? Presidential historian Allan Lichtman examines Trump’s political standing, the strength of the MAGA movement, and whether growing dissatisfaction among parts of his coalition could become a serious political problem. What would it actually take for Trump to lose a meaningful portion of his base? Is MAGA loyalty as strong as it appears? And what could cracks in Trump’s coalition mean heading into the 2026 midterm elections?
