The coronavirus pandemic, Saint Patrick's battalion in the Mexican-American War

This week Lee sits down with Redacted Tonight correspondents Naomi Karavani and Anders Lee. They discuss the social impacts of the coronavirus pandemic as it sweeps the US, and the state of the US primaries. Then Lee tears apart stories from mainstream newspapers in the US as they maintain their pro-corporate narrative in the face of a worldwide crisis that has been made worse by corporate profiteering and malpractice.

Anders finishes the show off with a ‘Mind Blowing History’ from the Mexican-American War. He reports on a battalion of Irish-Americans who fought on Mexico's side. Saint Patrick's Battalion switched sides after being asked to fight for a country that discriminated against them as Catholics and abused their labor as immigrants.
