Part 1:  Ray Richardson starts the morning with the restaurant in Colorado where the patrons were crammed into the space. Ray wonders if this is because the people aren’t trusting what their government is telling them and uses how they are counting the number of Covid deaths/cases as an example. He talks about the mistrust campaign caused by the lack of real numbers and data. Ray gives examples of his premis.

Part 2:  Ray talks about the dentistry industry in Maine. Ray says that even though dental hygiene is essential for good health the Governor has deemed them not an essential business.

Part 3:  Ray welcomes Thorn Dickerson, President and CEO & President of NECEC Transmission LLC. They discuss the permit issued to Central Maine Power Company (CMP) for construction of the New England Clean Energy Connect (NECEC) project from Maine’s Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).

Part 5:  Ray takes a call from someone asking about how they come up with the way a question is worded for the ballots.  Ray tries to explain a complicated question as simply as he can in this really short segment.

Part 6:  Ray and Mike Violette, heard on Legacy 1160 WSKW from 6am-9am Monday-Friday, do a simulcast of their respective shows to discuss the lawsuit that was filed in support of Maine’s small businesses. They give a shout out to Mike’s former Co-hosts of the past. Ray tells Mike that there will be a big announcement coming this week and that there is a Go-Fund ME account to help cover the lawyer fees. Mike asks him about the ACLU’s presence as the Constitutional rights of the Maine people have been striped away.

Part 7:  Ray thanks Mike for giving him the opportunity to speak to Mike’s audience. He expands on the reasons for the lawsuit. He says that the businesses could have all just decided to open their businesses and see where the chips landed, but they decided to go through the legal channels to fight for our rights.

Part 8:  Ray talks a little more about the lawsuit and wants to make sure that anyone that would like to be a part of Standing Up for Maine and the crazy plans of Maine’s Government has handed down. He welcomes Former Congressman Bruce Poliquin and Derek Gause. Ray and Bruce talk about the rural counties that have had very limited or no cases of Covid-19, yet are being lumped in with the highly populated counties. Bruce is really worried that the damage has already been done and there will be many years before they rebound. The boys talk about some of the inconsistencies of who can be open, and who can’t. Bruce points out that it is important that there are conversations including many different industries and groups that are experts in their field. Bruce points out that we are living in a socialism style of government right now in Maine. Ray asks Derek his opinion about the way the government is ruling over him. Derek is an Army “employee” for the last 10 years. They have a great discussion.

Part 7:  Ray talks about what the qualities of a good leader are and uses President Lincoln as an example. He compares Governor Mills’ “economic committee” that she has “appointed” to get our state back to prosperity. It isn’t even scheduled to meet until July. Ray talks about the reason for the lawsuit and Dr. Shah. Derek Gause is still on the line and he and Ray talk about how Mills has handled this pandemic. Maine hasn’t had the cases to support the massive shutdown of businesses and Ray talks about the broader effect it is having, not just money, but mental health as well. Ray says that the government has had a long history of not supporting our military going all the way back to the Civil War.

Part 8:  Ray and Derek talking about the following the Governor’s orders. Ray tells Derek that we as a family broke the rules and got together for Mother’s Day. We have been responsible adults that had made the choice to hug our kids. Derek says that he wholeheartedly agrees with choice. We should be able to choose whether or not to venture out responsibly. That is why he puts his life on the line, for our Constitutional Rights.
