We were joined by Mark Sleboda to talk about what a multipolar world order looks like in the period following the financial crisis and the gradual deterioration of the United States as world hegemon.

Later in the show, we were joined by Niko House and Dr. Bill Honigman to discuss Bernie Sanders dropping out of the race. Lee argued with Garland and Niko about whether the progressive base was big enough to get Sanders in as the nominee, and Bill Honigman recommended that we go easier on Bernie over not defending himself against the DNC's abuses.

We were joined by Stephen Oatley to talk about logistics. We looked at what the novel coronavirus has done to the trucking industry in the USA, with freight prices dropping as major organizations and businesses close their doors and drop consumer demand with them.

We spoke with Peter Kuznik about the 1918 flu, and the global similarities between COVID-19 and last century's global pandemic. We looked at the potential impacts of uninhibited spread in the developing world and talked about the economic and political solutions we might need to seize on to make it through this situation.
