Make It Plain with Mark Thompson

David Shimer, author of "Rigged: America, Russia and 100 Years of Covert Electoral Interference," knows what Russia wants for the United States -- to undermine and discredit our democracy and turn our country into a weakened, corrupt version of itself. After interviewing 26 former advisors to Obama, a handful of Trump officials, and many other national security figures, David is helping us answer the question of "how can we prepare for 2020?" David's research goes well beyond the 2016 election and extends far into the past and across the world, assessing patterns that help us understand exactly what Russia is up to and why it's so difficult for the U.S. to respond. He details all of this in today's eye-opening episode.
