Abby and Robbie talk about how surreal and long the Covid-19 pandemic feels and move onto the disturbing incident of a woman in NYC threatening death by cop on an African American bird watcher. They also discuss Trump's Hydroxychloroquine announcement and how bizarre it is that so many of his supporters act like they're in a cult by trying to rationalize every nonsensical rant he's ever made. The last third of the episode is spent discussing more movies and TV shows for quarantine binge-watching including a long list of Robbie's favorite Star Trek The Next Generation episodes.

Abby and Robbie Martin bring standup comedian, political activist and host of Redacted Tonight, Lee Camp, on Media Roots Radio to discuss his new book 'Bullet Points and Punch Lines'. The conversation starts with how we're all coping during the COVID-19 pandemic but then shifts to the domestic civil liberties consequences and quality of life Americans will be facing moving forward.

Robbie Martin speaks to investigative journalist and writer Whitney Webb about her incredible in-depth new series about a group of sketchy individuals who weave a thread of anthrax, bio-terror fear mongering and 'pandemic preparedness' through the Bush Sr, Clinton, George W Bush administration and now the Trump administration. They discuss how these individuals like Robert Kadlec not only profit off of the threat of bio-terror but that they also have bizarre and inexplicable connections to the attacks themselves and following coverup of the attacks.

Abby and Robbie Martin speak to Ian Goodrum of China Daily. During the course of their conversation they cover a whole range of issues frequently raised in the US like the 'social credit system', 5G, the COVID-19 lab leak theories and draconian surveillance. Ian also explains why he believes the hostilities between the United States have been growing, based largely on ruling class profit motivations, Obama's 'Asia pivot' and Trump's trade war.

Robbie Martin breaks down how key neocon figures like Frank Gaffney, Gordon Chang, and James Woolsey from the Committee on the Present Danger: China have taken advantage of the fear in the wake of COVID-19, and how this think tank has a symbiotic relationship with certain GOP elected officials like Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Tom Cotton and Trump administration insiders in spreading and pushing anti-Chinese paranoia and propaganda. The history of The Committee on the Present Danger is also explained, like how it once supplied 33 of its own members into the Ronald Reagan administration.

He then calls out the players and think tanks behind this ramp-up in the wake of COVID-19.

Abby and Robbie discuss the latest updates with COVID-19, how US capitalism is exceptional in all the worst ways to deal with the pandemic and is effectively making the country into one giant corporate sacrifice zone. Abroad, the empire is exploiting the crisis to ramp up militarism and export death, while its so-called enemy states show true leadership and international solidarity.
