Hi, this is Josh Marshall, and this is the Josh Marshall Podcast.

We are back with another episode of the podcast.

We are, what, weeks into reopening now. We're two plus weeks into the nationwide

protests about the killing of George Floyd and we've got a lot to discuss.

It's the 2020 is you know we I feel like we've had a succession of years.

First it was 2016. 2016 was the bad year that everybody couldn't

wait for 2016 to be over and I think in many ways each successive year has developed that reputation and in some ways that

that's just a that's just a measure of America under Trump. I think you know who knows what

2021 is going to bring but 2020 certainly seems in an entirely different category.

It's hard to keep track of the different public crises and then just news developments.

We're going to talk about a bunch of them today, but before we do,

before I bring in my co-hosts, Kate and David, let me remind you that the Josh Marshall
