Shinzo Abe's Murder, Biden on Abortion, Executions in Oklahoma, Ukraine, Russia and G20
Dr. Iyabo Obasanjo, Professor of Public Health at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg VA joins the show to talk about the rise of Monkeypox and the developments related to COVID variants, vaccines and immunity to new variants on the horizon.
Paul Wright, Managing editor Prison Legal News and executive director of the Human Rights Defense Center joins the show to talk about Oklahoma, that bastion of human rights, has scheduled 25 executions–you heard that right–between August and December. That means that the state will put to death 58 percent of the people on its death row, including prisoners with severe mental illness, brain damage, and credible claims of innocence. State Attorney General John O'Connor sought the execution dates just four days after a judge ruled that Oklahoma's three-drug death cocktail was not unconstitutional. A lawsuit had been filed by 28 death row inmates who argued that the last two executions were botched, with one prisoner screaming that his body was on fire before finally dying, and another who gasped for air for 30 minutes before dying.
