Part 1:  Ray Richardson talks about the Coronavirus, Stay at Home, social distancing, physical distancing and Maine re-opening the state. He says that the Governor will have to answer some tough questions if she doesn’t open the state by May 1. Ray asks why is Van Buren Maine put to the same standards as Portland. People can social distance in some businesses (grocery stores and home Depot as examples) but not in others. Ray says we either can self govern or we can’t. Ray gets into the Payroll Protection Plan and Nancy Pelosi’s roll in stopping it.

Part 2:  Ray talks about the response that people are having. He says that based on what he is seeing, people are being socially responsible and taking care that they are following the guidelines.

Part 3:  Ray welcomes Larry Dunphy by phone to discuss a Coronavirus rally that will be happening in Augusta. Today at noon in Augusta you can join others in a Rally to ReOpen Maine. The President has formed a team of experts and with their counsel they have recommended states start reopening when they meet certain criteria, a point which the ReOpen Maine group wants to make sure Governor Mills adheres to! Cars meet at the Best Buy parking lot at 11:45 and people who are walking are to go to the Blaine house.

Part 4:  Ray explains that Rowe Auto Group is still open for business. You can still buy a car online or remotely. Ray talks about the secret meetings that Governor Mills has been having which are illegal. Ray stresses that she knows better because of her stint as State Attorney. Ray takes a couple of calls about Nancy Pelosi and her holding up the help and relief that Americans need. If you vote for Jared Golden or Chellie Pingree is a vote for Nancy to stay Speaker of the House. Larry calls in to complain about Sara Gideon and her support of Pelosi and smear campaign against Sen. Susan Collins who was one of the architects of this relief bill.

Part 5:  Ray talks about how to get rid of Nancy Pelosi. Don’t vote for Chellie Pingree or Jared Golden. If you vote for them, it is a vote for Nancy Pelosi. Ray takes a call from Maine State Senator Jeff Timberlake. He says that we are now in the day of reckoning that he and other fellow Republicans kept talking about until they were blue in the face while the Democrats passed all of these crazy spending bills.

Part 6:  Ray welcomes Tony Bessey. His story is one of triumph over trials. He gives Ray a history of how he became The Spot Doctor. He explains what he can do to bring your rugs back to their original condition. For more information, visit The Spot Doctor website, call 207-650-1796 and speak to Tony directly or email tony@spotdoctor.net today.

Part 7:  Ray talks about how US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is holding the American people as hostage to get her pet projects put into the (Personal Payroll Payment) PPP Bill. He explains the people and businesses that need this to help them through this crisis. This is suppose to be an emergency bill to help Americans, but she wants to put a bunch of stuff that has nothing to do with wages.

Part 8:  Ray plays a clip of the Wizard of Oz.  Ray welcomes Deputy Communications Director for @GOP, Cassie Smedile (@CMSmedile) and they discuss some of the things that Pelosi wants to add into the bill which she is preventing it from being passed, yet she is blaming the Republicans for not passing it. She stresses that we need to get the US House back. Ray urges everyone to call Pingree’s and Golden’s office and tell them politely to vote for this bill. They talk about that the civility hasn’t worked and that they took that to mean complicity.

Part 9:  Ray continues with his thoughts on the Ivory Tower that Speaker Pelosi is sitting in, eating her expensive ice cream selling her ideas on the late night talk show circuit.

Part 10:  Ray plays the “I’ll get you, my pretty” clip from the Wizard of Oz movie. Ray takes a call from Arthur Langley about the need to watch the people we elect and hold them accountable for their actions and their in-actions. He likens them to children. You wouldn’t allow a young child to be alone without supervision, especially around the cookie jar. He stresses that you need to watch them just as vigilantly. Ray gives some numbers that Governor Mills has spent and warns of the State furlough that will be coming down because she won’t be able to pay what she has promised. Is she going to raise taxes even though she has promised not to raise them? Ray takes a call from Bill of Casco. The people will decide when they are comfortable going to a restaurant, a baseball game or football game.

Part 11:  Ray reiterates some of the statistics and urges people to call their Representatives and Senators for both in Washington and Augusta and let them know how you feel.
