Anita runs down the things you wouldn't know if you didn't listen to this hour: Where do American women rank in Forbes' "100 Most Powerful Women," is California is losing people to Idaho, might your ceiling fan's blades fly off, and what ARE sea squirts?
As bad a year as 2020 was, some good things happened as well: LGBTQ can't be fired based on sexual identity, and a panda was born at the National Zoo! Anita runs down how bad it got, and the heroes we need to not overlook.
The election has been called, so what's next? Anita outlines challenges facing Biden and the remedies available to Trump as he challenges the results. Why is there fraud where Trump is losing but not where he's winning?
What is Biden's agenda as he becomes President? His first item of business is the Coronavirus, and he's already moving to outline solutions. There's also some good news ... for a change.
The truth about the economy, and the Coronavirus, is stark. Wall Street is preparing for a Biden win, and they're not unhappy about it at all. Plus the reality of the virus can't be denied no matter how Trump tries to spin it. And there's some good news too that has nothing to do with the election or the virus!
Three days to the election and the attempts to interfere are rampant. GOP suing in many states to limit ballots that can be counted, and Trump's record of lack of accomplishment is stirring early voting that is breaking all records.
Why is voting this time around so important, and how is foreign interference affecting American attitudes? Plus, Anita has news under the radar about the environment, sycophant appointments, and what we've lost under Trump.
Anita's personal tribute to Ruth Bader Ginsberg including things you probably don't know about her career. Her first equal protection case wasn't for a woman -- equal rights for a man opened the Constitutional floodgate.
Anita reviews the overwhelming amount of news being generated as the Coronavirus is still raging. There are side effects that go beyond health: insurance not covering small businesses, guidelines not being met, and impacts worldwide on children's and women's health issues, and the economy.
What you need to know about the upcoming vote: only 52 days left, and don't expect final results on election night. What are the issues voters put at the top of the list now? Plus things you might now know if you didn't listen, and some really good news!

About Anita Rufus Show
From the publisher's feed
On radio and online since the early-1990s as the Lovable Liberal, Anita Rufus is an award-winning talk show host who separates policy from politics. She leads a provocative dialogue about the issues making headlines with a viewpoint rarely presented in traditional talk radio every Sunday. Politics is the art of getting things done through people over whom you have no direct control. Anita believes that when we can all understand what an issue is about, and can separate the policy from the politics, we can then have at least the possibility of a reasonable outcome.
Raised in Southern California, Rufus is a J.D. legal scholar, M.A. educator, and has been involved for over 50 years in civil rights, women’s rights, and all public issues relating to equal treatment and protection of constitutional rights. Her past experience includes being corporate executive, non-profit leader, political activist, columnist, Congressional candidate, and mother/sister/daughter/wife.
