Joe Biden, FDR, and the New Deal. Also dogs. With Dr. Allan Lichtman

What a long, interesting spring it’s been! Elusive Films recorded a 10 episode series and we are excited to start sharing it with you. In the first episode EJ and Jay talk about dogs, Joe Biden, the American Rescue Plan, and the concept of the “first 100 days” of a presidency. We invite Dr. Allan Lichtman to discuss FDR and the New Deal to get an expert perspective. Looking back just a few weeks earlier to when we recorded this, it’s interesting how the public conversation about bipartisanship and passing bills has changed. I predict this conversation is likely to change again this year. Maybe more than once! To help us better understand the current context and how it relates to the New Deal era, Dr. Lichtman helps us navigate. He is an expert on this period, as well as the conservative movement that resists it. He’s also well known for a system to predict the winners of presidential elections called 13 Keys to the White House. Incidentally, Dr. Lichtman makes an unprompted prediction on our show! You’re going to want to tune in to this one.
