Part 1: Ray talks about DiMillo’s Floating Restaurant and the landmark that it has become. He talks about Standing up for Maine and the announcement that was made yesterday. He continues with Governor Mills’ devastation on almost every industry in Maine. This is what happens when you have someone in charge with a lot of power, but no credentials.
Part 2: Ray gives a brief line-up of today’s guests. He reminds everyone that elections have consequences.
Part 3: Ray explains Governor Mills’ new plan for opening up. He describes what she laid out for Maine in yesterday’s daily press briefing.
Part 4: Ray welcomes Gary Crosby of Standing Up For Maine. They welcome Gina, who with her family, went up to see the President on his visit to Maine last Friday. She talks about the Black Lives Matter group that mobbed the cars, including hers, on the rotary in Bangor. They were calling her a murderer and a white supremacist. Her kids were holding Trump signs in the back seat, her 10 year old child signed the okay (Ray explains why that was perceived as a bad) in agreement with what the protesters were saying. One of the people that mobbed her car was a teacher and said that she could teach her kids better than Gina. They all agree that what happened to George Floyd was an American tragedy. Ray asks her how she got out of the situation. Gina gives details on how they got out of that potential dangerous situation.
Part 5: Ray talks to Gary about the Black Lives Matters’ list of demands. They talk about what would happen if the roles were reversed and it was a black family in the car and white protestors. Ray brings up the “leaders” in Washington kneeling in Capitol and questions why for George Floyd and not the military, fireman, police, and other murdered individuals. The focus is getting lost. Linc Merrill calls in to tell him about part of a class that one of the schools will be teaching, How To Protest. Linc emphasises that the more we point out our differences, the longer it is going to take for America to become united. The boys take another call and Bill of Casco tells us that his daughter had to do a term paper on The Quran. She didn’t have a choice of subject.
Part 6: Ray and Gary talk about the World Health Organization and their new “revelations” about the Coronavirus. They also talk about the support from the celebrities that are helping WHO financially since Trump pulled the backing because they weren’t doing what they were do. The boys welcome Derek Gause and congratulate him on his promotion to Staff Sergeant. Former Congressman Bruce Poliquin joins in to congratulate Derek. Bruce hopes that the Governor will let the state get back to business. He points out that a lot of the people that would be coming to Maine have moved on to a new vacation spot because of Gov. Mills’ stringent mandates. Bruce talks about the lack of cases of Covid-19 to warrant such draconian measures. Gary hopes that everyone remembers what has happened to Maine come November. Bruce brings up the Jobs Report surprise from Friday and that Maine is ranked #1 in lockdown states. Derek says that there is way too much out-of-state influence in our state. They talk about the protest and how social views override economic views. Ray gives some breaking news about the Anti-Trump ice cream, Pecan Resist, from Ben and Jerry’s. Derek talks about that now calling the police when they are needed is considered white privilege.
Part 7: Ray welcomes Gary and Derek back and thanks Jim and Michelle from the Gold Room for being at the press conference yesterday. Ray talks about how he was driven to the point of frustration level that he is right now. Gary is frustrated the Governor keeps saying that we’re all in this together, but that isn’t a true statement. She and all of the government people are still getting paid. They talk about the George Floyd case and the defining elements. Derek brings up the black on black crimes and murders. Ray poses a question. They take call from Bill of Casco. Ray asks the boys who he thought was the most influencial person in history. The guys give their answers both agreeing on Abraham Lincoln. But they were wrong, it was actually John Wilkes Booth and Ray explains why.
Part 8: Ray wraps up the show and thanks his guests. Derek gives a quick synopsis of charge of racism.
