For this week's episode, Rania Khalek and Kevin Gosztola begin the show by covering the superseding indictment against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. He became the first publisher in United States history to be charged with violating the Espionage Act, a development that was met with immediate condemnation from news editors and press freedom groups. The rest of the show is spent to questions and comments submitted by patrons of the show. Rania and Kevin go through many of the reasons why Joe Biden should not be doing so well in Democratic presidential primary polls. They also talk about the latest cycle of allegations related to the Syrian conflict and their significance, as well as the intensifying efforts on the part of President Trump's administration to provoke war with Iran.
