Buttigieg appeared on the national stage out of nowhere during the 2016 election for DNC chair. Now we’re being told he’s a front-runner in their primaries. His deep connections with US intelligence might help explain his success. In ‘Taking the News From Behind,’ Lee follows the drama and technical glitches in the DNC primaries so far, he lets Bloomberg expose himself as a racist, and he gives a positive update from Julian Assange in London. Anders Lee reports on how the US justice system is failing to bring the wealthy and corporations to justice.

Naomi Karavani finishes off the show on the suppression of graduate student unions.
