In our first hour, we were joined by Ted Rall to talk about politicians' absolute inability to respond meaningfully to COVID-19, failing to make the major changes Americans need economically as tens of millions reel out of balance.

In our second hour, we were joined first by Misty Winston to talk about the Assange case breaking down ever further as a major witness against Assange says that his critical testimony was faked to gain immunity against prosecution. After we were joined by Teddy Fikre to talk about the Ethiopian government retreating from Mekele as the powerful Tigrayan People's Liberation Front retook the city. Last we were joined by Steve Grumbine to talk about individual states pushing for Medicare for all.

In our third hour, we were joined by Mike Maloof to talk about the possibility of a new and more prominent X-Files-style department following the release of a UFO report last Friday that calls for funding for a new initiative to study unidentified aerial phenomena.
