Part 3: Today’s History Lesson: George Wythe (1726- June 8, 1806) was born in Elizabeth County Virginia, of a wealthy agricultural family. His father died when George was three, but his mother, who was extraordinarily well educated for a woman of that day, tutored him in the classics in a manner that would take him far indeed. His mother died when he was still a teenager and his oldest brother, who took no interest in George, inherited the family property. George entered the college of William and Mary but was unable to keep up with the fees. He dropped out and then managed to secure a study of law at the office of a Stephen Dewey. His studies were so successful that he was admitted to the bar in Spottsylvania County in 1746, at the age of 20. His most valuable contribution to the new nation was his involvement in education. This began in 1761 when he was elected to the Board of Visitors at the College of William and Mary. Eight years later the man who could never gain a degree for want of the money to do it with, became America’s first Professor of Law. His students included Thomas Jefferson, Henry Clay, James Monroe, John Marshal, and several dozen other distinguished public servants. In 1775 Wythe was elected to attend the Continental Congress. He served for two years, voted in favor of the Resolution, and for the Declaration. In 1776 he was called back to Virginia in order to help form the new government. He was elected Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates in 1777. The following year he was made one of the three Chancellors of the State of Virginia, a post that he served in for the rest of his life. George Wythe was revered as a man on great honor and integrity. He was a republican in all things, and a quiet abolitionist. He freed his slaves and made provisions for their support until they could earn a living for themselves. This ended in tragedy-and that tragedy would cost Wythe his own life. A young member of his family, on discovering that Wythe had conditionally willed part of the family property to his slaves, decided to enlarge his own share by poisoning them with arsenic. He incidentally murdered George Wythe in the process. Wythe died on June 8, 1806 at the age of 80.
Part 4: Ray goes into details about, with some detail, of how the whistleblower in the Ukraine scandal and Schiff should be scrutinized and truly investigated. Ray follows the path and comes to the end result that Schiff has almost admitted that he knew of claim before it became public.
Part 5: Ray continues with the Ukraine Inquire, Nancy Pelosi and the hypocrisy of the left. Ray continues by bringing it home to Maine. Gov. Mills is so concerned with global warming and climate change driving 60 miles down from Augusta to Portland and 60 miles back just to get a flu shot and press opportunity at the Portland branch of Planned Parenthood even though they had a flu shot clinic at the State House the day before.
Part 6: Ray, Debi and Bob are joined by David Ciullo of Career Management Services and he also hosts The H.R. PowerHour on WLOB Radio. They talk about listening tours that are happening for the new laws that will be taking effect. This new legislation guarantees earned time off for employees who work for a business with 11 or more employees. Small businesses with 10 or fewer employees and seasonal employers who regularly operate less than 26 weeks in a calendar year are exempt. Dave says that with the new minimum wage increase, we will almost be up to the required minimum wage.
Part 7: The boys say that it is a beautiful day….Dee Dee mentions that it is 39 degrees. Ray sees a commercial on Fox about the Dems. Bob describes a skit on Saturday Night Live.
Part 8: Ray goes back into history about a headline that police are the problem. He calls on everyone to remember that we are now in the time of choice. Everything we do is a choice. He reminds the police that the people in charge have been slowly eroding the respect and dignity. Ray talks about the knife attack in Paris and how it is the knife’s fault, not the person that held the knife.
Part 9: Ray and the gang talk about David Ciullo and her disrespectful nature and not agreeing with the facial recognition software Detroit is implementing. Detroit Police Chief James Craig says that she should talk to the families of homicide victims before criticizing facial recognition technology.
Part 10: Ray goes into another point, but looses it and Bob takes over the show. They talk about Camp Sunshine and LL Bean’s fundraiser. They continue to chat about the wonderful organization Camp Sunshine and their great work. The boys end up talking about Ty Cobb. Ray explains what would be a true and real threat to President Trump’s presidency. Ray talks about some of the candidates and what their candidacy’s threat is to Trump. Ray and Bob talks about the transcript of the call that Bob and Ray re-enacted. Ray finally remembers what he wanted to say. Sen. King’s remarks about the telephone call between Ukrainian President and President Trump.
Part 11: Ray continues with Sen. King’s remarks about the Impeachment jury and length of his call. Ray says that it is just a ploy to make Trump look bad instead of speaking truths. Ray takes a call about King. Ray wants to know why he can speculate on one thing, but not the other.
