OA408: What Happens When The CARES Act Expires Tomorrow?

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Today's episode takes a deep dive into the Republican proposal to extend the CARES Act, which is (of course) called the HEALS Act. It's a Republican proposal, so you know it's probably terrible, but... how bad is it? (Bad.) Listen and find out!</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Remember that our <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/posts/live-q-saturday-39889842">LIVE Q&A is THIS SATURDAY, 8/1, at 7:30 pm Eastern / 4:30 pm Pacific!</a></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>We begin, however, with some good news! The D.C. Circuit has granted en banc review and vacated the prior panel opinion in the Michael Flynn case. That means <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/posts/lam40-amicus-38211018">our amicus brief</a> is (potentially) back in business, baby!</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>From there, we take down Trump's idiotic distract-o-Tweet of the day involving postponing the 2020 Election. No. He can't do this. It won't happen. Trump's a monster, but no.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Then it's time for a deep dive on the CARES Act, which includes some mystery provisions we've outsourced to you, our listeners!</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>After all that, it's time for #T3BE, this one a (straightforward?) question about permissible witness testimony. Remember that you too can play along by sharing this episode on social media using #T3BE.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>Patreon Bonuses</strong></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Lots of goodies, including <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/posts/live-q-saturday-39889842">the Q&A Questions thread</a> and Andrew's "100 Seconds" talk to the <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/posts/100-seconds-part-39712849">UK Skeptics in the Pub</a>!</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong
