The Marshall Plan

President Harry Truman signed the European Recovery Act into law on April 3, 1948. The Marshall Plan, as it’s more commonly known, was intended to revive the economies of war-torn Western Europe. Extending nearly $13 billion to primarily France, the United Kingdom, Italy, and West Germany, the program was an ambitious foreign aid effort and an unprecedented display of U.S. global power.

He ends every statement and sentence in a low pitch and soft, quiet voice. Then begins the next with a much louder, higher pitched tone. I don't know why but it's strangely irritating. He's got a great voice but it'd be easier to watch if he smoothed out his speaking. Otherwise I really liked the material and found it informative.
