Reflections on Leadership and Upcoming Elections

*This episode originally ran on August 6, 2024 on Honestly with Bari Weiss* 

Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to be cruising after she became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.

But in her anointment to the top of the ticket, there was a strange and silent rewriting of history by the press and party loyalists with the support of a lot of tech companies, who together were changing our collective understanding of the present and of the very recent past. Eli Lake argues this has happened before. Not in America. . . but in the Soviet Union, and also in the works of brilliant writers like Milan Kundera and George Orwell.

While that might sound like hyperbole, listen and decide for yourself. Because whether you agree or disagree with Eli’s conclusions, you will learn so much from listening to this episode.
