Summary
House Progressive leader Ro Khanna holds a town hall meeting with Thom's callers on wide variety of questions. What are the chances that the U.S. could catch up with the successful policies of countries like Australia that have crushed the virus while supporting their people?

And what does the latest videotaped lynching say about what is really going on in our country?
