Part 1:  Ray takes on Speaker Nancy Pelosi by playing yesterday’s Historic statement. He dissects her speech in the House as she is about to send her Impeachment votes to the Senate.

Part 2:  Bob Witkowski, Visit Portland, joins Ray and Dee Dee in studio. Ray’s Maine History Lesson highlights Adelbert Ames (October 31, 1835 – April 13, 1933) was an American sailor, soldier, and politician who served with distinction as a Union Army general during the American Civil War. A Radical Republican, he was military governor, U.S. Senator, and civilian governor in Reconstruction-era Mississippi. In 1898, he served as a United States Army general during the Spanish–American War. Ames was the second to last general officer of the Civil War to die. He succumbed at the age of ninety-seven in 1933. He was outlived in this respect only by Aaron Daggett, who died in 1938 at the age of one hundred. However, because Daggett was a brigadier general by brevet rank only, Ames was the last full-ranked Civil War general to die.

Part 3:  Ray asks Bob about Maine Bicentennial and Visit Portland‘s involvement and events to celebrate Maine’s 200th birthday. Visit Maine200.org for more information.

Bill Diamond because he is the Maine’s Bicentennial Commission Chair and will be a weekly regular starting next Friday. The boys continue with some history and other informative things.

Part 7:  Ray plays a clip from Fox News of Lou Dobbs interviewing Vice President Mike Pence discussing the Phase 1 of the China trade deal and the economic ramifications. Maine will be directly affected in a positive way. Ray takes a call and Doug Thomas explains another part that people probably don’t know about the China Deal. They talk about the hardwood industry. The boys also talk about how half of Washington wants Trump out of office and they don’t care what he has done for the country. Doug also brings up Maine’s roads and transportation and how the money and management of the department. The boys talk about the trades and trade schools.

Part 9:  Ray welcomes our regular Thursday guest News Center Maine’s Pat Callaghan. The boys discuss Kim Block and her statement that she is going to take a step back from the anchor position because of the lingering effects of a head injury from over a year ago.
