Ray reads a quote from Hillary Clinton “We are living in challenging times. We’re living through a war on truth, facts and reason, watching as racist and white supremacist views are lifted up in the media and in the White House. But despite it all, there are signs of hope and resilience. And much of that is being led and shaped by black women like my dear friend Maxine Waters.” Ray takes a call from Larry.

Trump isn’t as polished as they would like, but knew he would shake things up and make some real changes.
