07-02-19 Terrific Tuesday
Part 1: Ray is riled up this morning about Nike and Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick first “reached out to company officials saying that he and others felt the Betsy Ross flag is an offensive symbol because of its connection to an era of slavery,”. We are celebrating the birth of our Nation, the flag on the back of the shoes is the flag to represent each state designed and produced by Betsy Ross. Ray can’t understand how Kaepernick has the hold on Nike and is somehow the moral compass of this company.
Part 2: Ray and Gurnal Scott of Fox News Radio talk about the Independence Day fireworks in New York City and LL Bean and Linda Bean’s. Ray asks him about the Democratic Presidential Candidates. They look forward to the September Debates and what is going to have to happen to secure their spot on the stage. How did the debates that just happen last week have on the campaigns and who will be the ones to watch. Ray asked him about Kamala Harris’ claim of the busing as a child and some of the other non-fact based.
Part 3: Ray welcomes David Jones of Making Maine Great Again/FO Bailey Real Estate and Auburn Mayor Jason J. Levesque talk about apathy. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez starts it off with her unreasonable claims of the conditions at the Southern Border and the do nothing Congress is not making progress on any of the important issues that are threatening our country. They talk about how non supportive anyone in Congress has been to anything that President Trump does.
Part 4: The boys welcome Tim Frechette of Tim Pro Media. The boys talk about the media. They talk about what would happen if there was a Holocaust of some kind. They go back to media and old school journalists and how most of them are not true journalists, but are more editorial.
Part 5: Ray reads a text about his comments about Colin Kaepernick. Ray wants to know why we can’t talk about race without being called a racist. Why isn’t Serena Williams or a WWII Tuskegee pilot like Lt. Col. Harry Stewart. They also mention some of the football players that have positive vibes.
Part 6: Ray and the boys play a spot on Fox and Friends about Arizona’s Governor Doug Ducey ordering the Arizona Commerce Authority to withdraw incentives for Nike building a manufacturing plant in the state. Tim brings up AOC’s stand against Amazon. This was quite a discussion. Ray asks Jason about Auburn’s Memorial Parade and what Auburn does to Celebrate Independence Day. They talk about a text that David sent Ray about something that was in a Socialist Newspaper in Portland Maine. Their website is MaineSocialists.org. This leads to a discussion about how the young people and what they can’t do. The boys talk about the differences between socialism and capitalism. The discussion comes around to schools and the grading scale.
Part 7: So, Jason has an announcement that he is officially announcing that he will be running for his seat as Mayor again on July 9th at Gritty McDuffs from 4pm to 6pm. Come join him to celebrate the “Utopia of the Androscoggin”. State Rep. Amy Arata joins in the group.
Part 8: The boys are joined by State Rep. Amy Arata and Maine GOP Chair Dr. Demi Kouzounas. Ray asks Demi about the most successful Chairman’s Reception since conception. Ray tells a story the caps that were handed out at Pres. Trump’s campaign rally in Florida. Amy asks about the primary system and how that will effect campaigning. Ray is saying that now is the time to stand up. Amy said that she didn’t go on vacation with her family because she thought they would still be in session. This gives Ray the opportunity to remind people how selfish the Maine Speaker of the House Sarah Gideon is while she is announcing her candidacy.
Part 9: Ray is trying to remember where they where in the discussion. They talk about this legislature was all about banning. This group was about we are going to tell you how you should live because you can’t do it for yourself. Ray brings up Obama’s promise that “you will by insurance”, but this group has said, “we will give everybody insurance”. Amy says that the Portland Mayor’s mouth has written a check that he can’t cash. The panel talks about how this should be a personal decision, not government making if for us with our taxpayer funds.
Part 10: Ray poses the question on the working policies of immigrants. Ray talks about the government regulations that are hindering immigrants from working. Amy wants to know why Maine can ignore the marijuana federal laws, why do they worry so much about the immigrants working. David gives his thoughts and so does Ray and Demi. Demi points out that the legislature and that they make all of this laws and yet they don’t uphold the laws that they make.
Part 11: Drug testing requirements being lifted in housing and other things that the legislature has done.
