The Kamala Cascade | The Roundtable Ep. 30
Joe Biden has picked Kamala Harris as his vice presidential running mate. Is it really as bad a choice as it seems, or do the Dems have a secret game plan? Meanwhile, mask hysteria has taken over not just America, but most of the world, causing activists to cheer on police officers for chokeslamming people on the street. But when a Black Lives MAGA rally was held in Beverly Hills recently, the press was silent. What does that say about the state of politics today?
Veepstakes are Finally Over | The Roundtable Ep. 30 Segment 1

Mask Hysteria | The Roundtable Ep. 30 Segment 2
As riots in the name of George Floyd continue around America’s urban hubs, a viral video has emerged of an Australian police officer chokeslamming a woman who had not donned a mask.

Our editors break down why it is that masks have become a political sticking point. Timestamp: 25:22
