Part 1:  Ray Richardson starts up this morning with the Open the State rally that happened in Augusta yesterday. He talks about Chellie Pingree and questions what she has done for the State of Maine since she has been in office. He talks about Sara Gideon and her claims against Sen. Susan Collins. He stresses that if you vote for Pingree or Golden, it is a vote for Pelosi. He briefly gets into his disdain for a woman sitting in an ivory tower all the while letting the hopes and dreams of small business people die on the vine.

Part 2:  Ray has a short segment and reads a text. Ray talks about the protest up in Augusta and says that from everything that he as seen via pictures or videos, everyone seemed to be doing it responsibly. We need to get the state back open.

Part 3:  Ray and David Jones talk about the Student Loans Debt and Maine’s rainy day fund. Ray points out that the United States Government and the individual state governments have not taken care of the infrastructure of our country, that includes the technology infrastructure.

Part 4:  Ray restates that Maine’s Rainy Day Fund has already been spent and it is gone. He gives a scenario to get herself out of this mess. He and David welcome Col Anthony Barbina and Capt McIntosh. They talk about army and the Salute to the Recruit dinner. Capt. McIntosh explains how this dinner was born. They talk about how they have had to adapt how they are recruiting for the armed forces without the face to face amid the COVID-19 outbreak. Captain MacIntosh explains how his time in Liberia has prepared him for what they are dealing with now.

Part 5:  The boys continue their discussion with Col. Barbina and Capt. McIntosh. Ray asks them what they have learned through this quarantined time. Col. Barbina says that their recruiters have embraced social media as a way to find new recruits. The Colonel tells us how basic training has changed.

Part 6:  Ray and David talk about their different stages of life. David and Ray grew up a lot different, but they have the same thoughts and personalities as adults. Ray talks about girls and chasing them. They end up talking about Nancy Pelosi and what could have made her the way she is and how she thinks. Ray says that we shouldn’t be about party now, we should be about American. Ray says that Pelosi is holding up funds to help Americans over gamesmanship. Ray talks about Tip O’Neil and how he would have handled this crisis. Ray brings up Sen. Angus King and ask David about him. David says he is really frustrated because everything has become political. Not what can I do for Mainers, but how can I stay in office. They talk about President Trump’s press conferences and how/what he did to slow this crisis down. The boys take a call about harassment and intimidation and it has been around for a long time. Trump is standing up to them.

Part 7:  Ray brings up immigration. Trump has put a hold on immigration because of the Coronavirus. The Democrats are all up in arms. Jerry Nadler is from New York and as Ray reminds people that is where the epicenter for America is located. The boys pose the question, during a time of quarantining Americans, why would we open our borders and let more people in? Ray and David welcome Derek Gause and Dr. Sarah Rivard to join their discussion.

Part 8:  Ray and David, Derek Gause and Dr. Sarah continue with their discussion about the Governor’s shutdown and when will it be time to open things back up. They talk about the government “taking care” of you and their ability to take care of roads and bridges. They are in shambles.

Part 9:  Ray talks about now is the time for a long memory about what the Democrats have done during this crisis. They are holding up the money for politics. If you vote for a Democrat for the US House, you are voting for Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Wicked Witch of San Francisco. David doesn’t understand how she continues to get elected. San Fran is in a heap of a mess. Ray brings up her interview on late night TV where she was eating $12 a quart ice cream in her gated mansion. The boys stress that Tip O’Neal would never have let this happen…he was American over Democrat…even though he was one of the biggest Democrat forces that lived. Derek and Sarah give their opinions about President Trump. They all discuss the Never-Trumpers or media and their Trump obsession. They talk about Nancy Pelosi and small businesses if they will be able to open back up. How do they know what they will need if and when they re-open? What about the contractors that depend on employees of other businesses for their paycheck. They talk about Governor Mills and her following her own rules. She has had secret meetings and Derek brings up that she got Gov. LePage fined for the same thing, and Ray wants to know if she will be held to the same standard. She left her home to go visit family in Rockland during the rally yesterday. Why are the rules that she has put into place for the State of Maine, not applied to her?
