Show Notes

Did America just get manipulated by the meat industry with a fake shortage scare that led to protection from legal liability and stay-at-home orders? If there was a meat shortage, why were we exporting so much meat to China?

Food and Water Watch's Tony Corbo is on the line with Thom- why has Trump's trade agreement with China opened the door for the United States to import chicken meat from China?- and could this lead to low-wage Chinese factory workers processing American chickens and sending them back?

And Caroline Henderson of Greenpeace USA has watched this president systematically take apart environmental regulations- she joins Thom to explain why on June 4th Trump instructed federal agencies to bypass environmental laws like the Endangered Species Act, and to ignore the economic benefit of protecting health. Is Trump's environmental agenda ultimately racist?
