Summary

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.

0:08.0	I'm going to Welcome to Media Roots Radio. This is Abby Martin.
0:41.7	This is Robbie Martin. I hope everybody's doing reasonably well out there, considering that we're in the middle of a global pandemic, which is pretty crazy.

1:21.3	I've been better.
1:33.0	I mean, I'm grateful that I'm healthy and safe and that I'm quarantined with someone that I have fun working together with and stuff like that.
1:38.7	So I'm trying to look at the positive side of things, although it goes through ebbs and flows. You know, I mean, my anxiety goes in waves and sometimes I'll be really overwhelmed.

1:58.0	densely populated building apartment building, like right next to Skid Row. So
2:02.7	it would have just been really intense at this moment. But I mean, I just hope everyone else is
2:07.7	keeping their sanity. That's really what this comes down to. It's a really unpredictable and
2:11.5	scary time. I have not personally turned on the corporate media since I have been home since we
