Lee Camp recorded the opening of the show before the 2020 presidential election but even back then it was obvious that the loser in this election would be people and the planet. Knowing that, whatever the result of the election, is depressing. So, Camp dedicates this episode to good news coming out of Latin America, including Bolivia’s MAS party’s electoral victory against US interests, Venezuela’s government successfully navigating US interference and a failed mercenary invasion, Nicaraguans fighting back against another US-backed coup, and Chile’s referendum to rewrite Augusto Pinochet’s right-wing constitution. In ‘Taking The News From Behind’, Camp covers Nestle’s empire of bottled water floundering in response to push-back from activists, Purdue Pharma’s massive court loss over their role in expanding the OxyContin epidemic, and the anti-trust lawsuit against Google.
