And then.

The Hello everybody and welcome back to Red Menace. For this month's episode

we're going to be covering current events. Last month we did critique of the gotha program.

Next month we're going to do a discussion,

I think, on the Communist Manifesto.

But every other month we focus in on current events.

And there are a lot of current events happening right now.

For some of you may have heard my sort of initial episode, America is on fire from Rev Left.

We also posted it for our patrons on Red Menace as well, so they could have

as easy access to it as possible, in which it was really the thick of the moment, and I was, you know, hopefully

giving voice and relating to a lot of people's

a motive feelings about what's going on as well as their

intellectual ones and so if you haven't heard that and want to hear

the sort of in the heat of the moment

examination of what was happening. I would

recommend people check that out. We have a lot of stuff to cover today and so we're

going to be kind of jumping over to a big topic to big topic to big topic to big topic

but we thought that the best way maybe to start this

episode just for our red menace audience is to sort of catch up with a sort of bird's eye

summary of what's happened thus far and where we are in this moment as sort of a

prelude to our overall discussion today so Allison if you're ready for that you

want to just kind of give a summary of what's happened so far?
