this was so interesting! you really know your stuff!

Carter spoke spanish also. UN would send him to central America to monitor elections because he could speak Spanish.

11:31 Wow, What Nixon did to Johnson with Vietnam and what Reagen did to Carter with Iran.

If a person can't handle a 2 .5 year campaign then they cannot handle a four year term.

Biden pardoned his own son because the Republican Party used him as a target because they couldn’t drum up anything to go after Biden for

He’s gonna go to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court is going to say that the 22nd amendment is unconstitutional lol

As a disabled person interested in history, it's always inspiring to me when I hear of leaders that were disabled, especially world leaders. We never think of positions of power being suitable for disabled people, regardless of evidence to the contrary. Unfortunately, I can confirm that if you're physically disabled then there is still an assumption that you also have a mental impairment. So many disabled people are underestimated, talked over, and talked for even when they are as compos mentis as a non disabled person. We live in hope that one day this will change.

The fact that retards actually think trump would try again is asinine. I told my dad the same thing because he gets all bent over hyperbole

When there's a 30 minute video on whether Trump can be president or not, you know there's gonna be political biased opinions involved. Sorry to burst this lady's bubble but Trump can be president if he wants. One of the many ways, is running for Vice president and taking over the role or a change in the constitution. In regards to January 6,Trump was impeached and aquited but the media will never acknowledge that because the evidence used for the impeachment was falsified media statements.We are still waiting for the $2 billion damage the BLM movement caused with their violent protests, looting, and vandalism across the country in 2020.

She needs to set up her own channel this was great

10:08 - Ths is so relevant today.

fun fact: herbert hoover got stuck in a bath tub as president.

"I'm not biased, but republicans are evil" ahhhh video

29:20 I was in Desert Storm and he won that war, getting Iraq out of Kuwait. His son later showed why regime change was not a good goal and why his father withdrawing after accomplishing his stated goals was the best outcome.

Martin Van Buren’s first language was Dutch

Yes. He can.

I am glad she didn’t bash trump

For a historian, she’s either dishonest or not informed on some of the heinous things presidents have done that Trump has also done.

Cute Theodore bears

You are wrong. George Herbert Bush was the architect of the first Gulf War. He was poking si los in the tastings that he had to come up with a war. He took advantage that the Soviet Union was collapsing in order to start his war against Sadam Hussein.

Would have been nice if Grant had put as much effort into suporting Indigenous peoples as he did African Americans. BOTH groups needed support but Grant only tried to assimmilate Indigenous people rather than support them.

would be hilarious if Trump tries to make a 3rd term happen lol

SOTU does not have to be a speech.

I think this was a super balanced, and non-partisan take on US politics and Presidents. I like how she was able to avoid polarisation despite the questions and explain the most polarising events in a fact based manner without an agenda other than being informative and factual. Bravo 👏👏👏 Have her on again, please!

9:22 Not terribly comforting to know that this hasn't changed literally at all over the years, nor has the idea that those with intellectual disability are inherently lesser which leads to this kind of thing in the first place. Oof.

Edit: 10:25 OOF!!

Lindsay Chervinsky, you are pretty darn pretty

It's pretty obvious that T*ump doesn't care about the Constitution. Leave it to him to try running for a third term.

@25:42 - the question was "of the 20th Century?"

Obama wasn't president in the 20th Century.

Read the question

He will run, but will be vice president on the ballot. A Vance/Trump ticket very possible.

Burr also became Jefferson's vp right? And because he loathed this he moved to change the law 😂

13:24 oh wow, imagine having presidents who value their constituents not experiencing fear.

I genuinely cant even imagine it. Not trying to scare us of what the other side will do.

What about nixon for impeachment?

Trump can do whatever he can get away with.

Oh look, Wired picked a far left FDR fangirl to do this...SHOCKER! /s

Best-presented book nerd lady I've seen since that book appricer at Pawn Stars :D

16:26 Interesting how she put that caveat in there based on what recently happened.
A good book that would supplement this vid is:
You Know Something is Wrong When..... An American Affidavit of Probable Cause

Biased. Trump had to remind half the country theres only two genders. That's why he gets my support. Sad we had to remind the country of thin skinned pansies this.

so much lies this lady told

I want to point out a very important distinction about Jan 6th.

No matter who you are, or where you stand on what happened, you should not say that they "Tried to overthrow the results of the election". That is not at all what happened. The people protesting were trying to get the results to be investigated. That is not the same as overthrown. You can say that they were misinformed if you would like, but it is very clear that based on the facts they believed, they were helping to enforce the constitution. I ask you this, if it were to be proven beyond a doubt that the 2020 election was in fact fraudulent, would that change your view about what happened on Jan 6th? I bet it would. To me that is the real question. IF There is a reasonable doubt as to the integrity of the election, then the protest was a great thing (obviously a riot is always bad though). IF There is no reasonable reason to doubt the integrity of the election, then the people there were idiots, but had good intentions.

Lindsay is much better than Ruth Ben-Ghiat because Lindsay do not inject her political view.
