Summary

America has the worlds highest rate of infection and death from the corona virus, and Donald Trump and the Republicans are trying their best to pretend theres nothing going on. While Steve Mnuchin and Donald Trump are passing out hundreds of billions of dollars to each other and their good buddies while refusing to let the American people know who got what, the corona virus continues its deadly spread. Its now killing over 1000 Americans a day.

The Covid crisis is proving that the Republican Party's libertarian theology that the free market will solve all problems is complete and utter BS. We have government to protect us from harms; if a persons house burns down, we dont wait for the free market to magically produce a fire department.

And, the FDA has officially banned off-label use of hydroxycloquine for treating Covid. So why was Trump hawking it so aggressively?

But the argument that was before the Supreme Court

0:58.8

had to do with what's called Title VII,

1:00.8

the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
