YouTube Description
as posted by the channelListen to the full episode
Today we’re bringing you the latest episode of Breaking History, the podcast where Eli Lake goes back in time, in order to make sense of the present.
In the last episode, I told the backstory behind Donald Trump’s plan to declassify every file related to JFK’s assassination. This episode is about how America won the Cold War, with the help of dissidents who refused to repeat their regime’s lies: In the ’80s, the U.S. president aligned with the dissidents behind the Iron Curtain. And those dissidents prevailed. Today, he berates an heir to their struggle in the Oval Office.
