Summary
2020 has been "eventful" so Bob & Ben decided to take an episode to sit back and cover what's been happening lately and answer questions from our Patrons. We discuss Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the state of politics in the US and major developments in the 2020 election. Ben also gives a rundown of the recent White House Conference on American History (read his twitter thread here) and what appears to be the agenda behind Trump's announcement of the 1776 commission to "Promote Patriotic Education.
In other words, there's a lot here. Thank you for listening.
