Steve Grumbine, founder of Real Progressives, discusses an op-ed in the New York Times on how the US Internal Revenue Service has made this the easiest time for the rich to get richer!

John Ross, author, economist and senior fellow at the Chongyang Institute of Renmin University of China, discusses US President Donald Trump's announcement that Washington has ended Hong Kong’s special status with the US. What does it all mean, and who's it good for?
