Welcome to the Empire Files podcast. This is your host, Abby Martin. This is the audio of our show.

You can watch the episodes on our YouTube channel or at the Empirefiles.tv.

It's been a couple weeks. I think the last time that we did this was with Jordan Cheriton from Status Koo,

talking about the South Carolina primary, how Joe Biden took that.

It was the day before Super Tuesday.

And little did we know how quickly things would change in the last two weeks.

We took a little bit of time off and now we're back and the country, actually the entire

world isn't a full-blown pandemic.

Global crises, I guess the uniquely comforting thing is that we're all in this together.

The entire world is suffering the same thing.

Every single country is going through the same thing.

So we recently moved.

This is why we have this kind of makeshift studio setup and not our cool greenlit backdrop right now. We're in the process of getting a new studio set up. So bear with us. Our cool gem shelf going on back there. But.

Abby's collecting rocks. I like rocks.

Very cool. Everything's made out of rocks. They're very old.

Soon to come on the Empire Files, of course, in a couple weeks is our documentaries on the

Afghanistan War and the US Empire in Africa.

So stay tuned for those exposés.

We've been working really hard to make those really cool. So stay tuned for that.

But we wanted to just give some updates on COVID, on the U.S. Empire's response, on the state of the

primary right now, and a couple other things that people have brought to our attention of what

they want us to talk about. So, I mean, to start off, I just hope that everyone's doing okay.
