Danny Haiphong of Black Agenda Report joins Robbie Martin for an in-depth discussion about COVID-19 showing the US empire in decline, revealing an ugly undercurrent of anti-Chinese xenophobia that has exploded exponentially. In the second half, Danny talks about how Black Lives Matter could merge with other leftist issues movements like anti-imperialism and the class struggle, and how leftists can effectively oppose Trump without resembling the neoliberal press that thrives on sensationalizing everything he does. In the last third, Robbie brings up the 'Boogaloo Boys' shooting death of an officer in Oakland, which was initially blamed on Antifa but was actually done by an active duty US air-force sergeant inspired by a troll right-wing group on 4chan that wants to start a civil war.

Robbie Martin breaks down how key neocon figures like Frank Gaffney, Gordon Chang, and James Woolsey from the Committee on the Present Danger: China have taken advantage of the fear in the wake of COVID-19, and how this think tank has a symbiotic relationship with certain GOP elected officials like Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Tom Cotton and Trump administration insiders in spreading and pushing anti-Chinese paranoia and propaganda. The history of The Committee on the Present Danger is also explained, like how it once supplied 33 of its own members into the Ronald Reagan administration.
