Summary
Greg Palast joins Thom to discuss the latest news from states where voting is underway and how it is being manipulated to the advantage of the Republicans. What a surprise!
Republicans like Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump laugh at the idea of democracy, while the American working class lays shattered on the ground.
The question now is: “Can America and democracy recover? And, if so, how long will it take and where should we begin to rebuild our country?
Or do the right wing billionaires intend to continue their war against democracy and the American working class?“

| 0:55.0 | isolation of people who are infected. |
| 0:58.0 | You know, it's going to take another shutdown for a while |
| 1:02.0 | until, you know, the fires burn down to embers and then we can start going |
| 1:05.4 | around putting out the embers but that's how we've got to do it. But when we look at what this |
| 1:09.8 | COVID virus is doing to people, it's breathtaking. |

| 1:24.0 | But also now that it's hitting the red states, 75% of the new infections last week were in states |
