*The most expensive Senate race in US history is taking place in the state of North Carolina. It’s also a battleground state in the presidential race. Davyne Dial from Pacifica affiliate WPVM in Asheville, NC has a report.
*An alarming number of tenants fear losing their housing because of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Attorney, organizer, and Pacifica/WBAI radio producer, Mimi Rosenberg, explains how this is happening in New York.
*A few words from comedian George Carlin on houselessness.
*THE NEW YORK POST recently published a story on Hunter Biden, the son of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. The story alleged Hunter used the family name to make money overseas. The Post’s work was heavily criticized and censored by most media outlets, and by Facebook and Twitter, but not by Pushback, journalist Aaron Mate’s show on thegrayzone.com. As usual, Maté did his homework and spoke to Ray McGovern, a longtime CIA analyst, whose former job was in part to provide briefings to the president of the United States.
*From Mérida, Venezuela, Venezuelanalysis.com editor Ricardo Vaz explains aspects of the upcoming Venezuelan National Assembly elections with Pacifica’s Ken Yale.
*Ann Garrison on the kidnapping of Paul Rusesabagina, the real hero of the movie Hotel Rwanda.
