Summary
Richard Clarke, former chief anti-terrorism advisor to the National Security Council- How Trump Wasted the Best Tool He Had to Fight the Coronavirus.
Sylvia Albert of Common Cause examines what you need to know about mail in voting?
This deadly virus is here, now, among us and Americans want our government to provide widespread infection and antibody testing so we can get it under control. In this, Trump continues to fail. He was able to walk away from blame for all his many business failures through bankruptcy, and now he’s bankrupting America to try to avoid blame for his incompetence killing so many of us. This time, it’s not gonna work. Or will it?
For the Book Club Thom reads portions from "The Fifth Risk" by Michael Lewis, "The Hermit King: The Dangerous Game of Kim Jong Un" by Chung Min Lee, and "Let the People Pick the President: The Case for Abolishing the Electoral College" by Jesse Wegman.
