Part 1:  Ray talks about Iran and Trump’s relationship. Ray talks about an interview on Fox News with David Rubin, the creator and host of The Rubin Report, a political talk show on YouTube and formerly part of The Young Turks Network and Ora TV. Ray talks about the culture of discrimination. Ray believes that we should stand with Israel. He talks about Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and her anti-American and racist views and statements. Ray doesn’t have a problem other than it isn’t about color, but about the words. Ray takes a call from Larry and he gets Ray all riled up, first thing this morning. He runs late and doesn’t take a break and goes right to Fox News Radio’s Simon Owen. Iran has denied President Trump’s claim that a U.S. warship destroyed an Iranian drone near the Persian Gulf after it threatened the ship USS Boxer. Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, told reporters at the United Nations that “we have no information about losing a drone today.”

Part 2:  This is the History Lesson Segment: John Hancock (January 23, 1737 – October 8, 1793) was an American merchant, statesman, and prominent Patriot of the American Revolution. He served as president of the Second Continental Congress and was the first and third Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. He is remembered for his large and stylish signature on the United States Declaration of Independence, so much so that the term “John Hancock” has become a synonym in the United States for one’s signature. Ray explains the complicated relationship between Hancock and Sam Adams.

Part 3:  Shawn Moody joins Ray in studio this morning. Shawn ponders Joe’s absence and Ray is very quick to say that summer is only so long and he is taking advantage of this beautiful weather on the golf course. They also talk about grandchildren. The boys talk about the progression on how someone starts their own business in the trades. Schools only teach to college and don’t even try to help students that don’t want to go to college. He continues by saying that with the progression of bureaucracy it is suffocating success.

Part 4:  Shawn and Ray continue the discuss the Trades and Trades School. They take a call who supports this discussion about how to have other payments for schools. Some jobs will help pay for schooling.

Part 5:  Ray and Shawn welcome Harold Pachios of Pachios On The News and Preti Flahrety. They compliment Harold on his tan and he explains where he got it, Cooperstown. Shawn asks about the facilities at Cooperstown. They get into a great discussion about baseball. Shawn asks Harold as a longstanding Democrat what his perspective on the changes that have taken lately. Harold talks about Immigration Laws. They talk about the progression in immigration. Ray doesn’t think that elected people don’t really want to solve this immigration policy problem. Harold doesn’t feel that immigrants are taking jobs from other people and Shawn wants to know how it makes sense to have people from other countries to come here and get educated and go back to their own country.

Part 6:  They continue the discussion on the immigration problems that are challenging our country. Shawn says that the state has legalized against federal laws the use of marijuana, but the asylum seekers are federally not allowed to work for certain amount of time. The state should allow them to have a work permit which is against federal law, but the state has a precedent in which to do that.

Part 7:  Harold explains how to pronounce and how his name came to be. Harold talks about public transportation. He says our roads and bridges are in terrible shape. Harold asks Ray if he knows why they won’t fix roads. Ray explains his theory on our infrastructure. Harold asks where is Trump’s proposal for our country’s infrastructure problems. Harold then also asks about the healthcare proposal. Ray says that the healthcare will never get solved with the divisive nature of Congress. They agree to disagree on why Trump hasn’t proposed a bill. Harold says that Republicans like Ray are not being listened to anymore. Ray said that he realized that nobody really cares about the National Debt back when George W announced his budget. They both agree on this point.

Part 8:  Harold asks Ray to articulate his immigration plan. Ray says we need to stop the flow of people and overstaying their visas. Harold says that Ray’s plan isn’t in sync with the Republican Party and Ray points out that it isn’t with the Democratic party either which is why it will never work. Ray says that the bottom line is that nobody really wants to solve this problem.

Part 9:  Ray and Harold continue the politics discussion. They start with the most divisive President. Ray believes that it was President Obama and Harold believes that it is President Trump. Ray gives a couple of examples of his argument. Harold say that both of his examples are about race. This brings up a heated discussion about racism. There is no mistake where Harold stands on Trump and his policies. They talk about a little different topics, some of the things that Harold and Ray agree and some they disagree.
