In the third segment of "By Any Means Necessary" Justin Flores, Vice President, Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC), AFL-CIO joins Eugene and Sean to talk about a lawsuit filed against the U.S. Department of Labor for allowing growers to pay agricultural workers below minimum wage, the dangerous heat conditions workers are forced to work in, organizing efforts to improve working conditions for farmworkers, the boycott campaign against e-cigarette makers and distributors, and efforts to organize an international worker movement.

Stephens of the Democratic Socialist of America to talk about John McCain's funeral, a new report on the cost of war by the US post-9/11, the Ted Cruz vs Beto O'Rourke Senate race in Texas, the resurgence of white and reactionary nationalism in the US, and the realities of a revolutionary perspective of modern politics.
