Real History with Matt Walsh

A century ago, left-wing radicals seized control of the Russian Empire and unleashed seven decades of ruthless terror, killing millions of people and inflicting untold human suffering. How did it happen? In this explosive episode of Real History, Matt Walsh traces Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks' rise to power and draws striking parallels to America today. He also breaks down the left's "rules for revolution," detailing exactly how radical, resentment-fueled movements seize power.

For decades, historians and pundits have treated the Watergate affair as the quintessence of American political scandals. The events changed the course of history, led to the resignation of an American president, and ushered in a new era of politics. We were taught the coverup was worse than the crime. But decades later, thousands of pages of declassified documents and sworn testimony tell a totally different story: one of intrigue, sabotage, betrayal, and deep state subversion.

Few forces in the history of mankind have done more charitable and benevolent than the British Empire, which brought peace, stability, prosperity, and Christianity to millions of people around the world.

This episode tells the incredible story of how roughly 500 Spaniards, led by Hernán Cortés, were able to conquer a civilization and bring Christianity to Mexico.
