Pete started the show talking about Joe Biden's lowered poll and approval numbers, and bridged that into a conversation about how some key Democrats are already putting themselves behind the 8-ball for re-election. Pete referenced the previous Governor's race between Pat McCrory and Roy Cooper and how HB2 was the elephant in the room. To wrap the hour, Pete played audio from Missouri Congresswoman Cori Bush - who said on an ABC program that she's in favor of defunding the police DESPITE hiring private security for herself because she claimed she's had death threats sent her way. Pete started the 1pm hour talking about the way Democrats are defending themselves right now in the media. Pete advised them to not really mention the economy right now if they want to get an edge in their key races. Pete continued the conversation about Cori Bush and talked about her connections to Erica Smith and Cheri Beasley here locally. Pete talked about how there have already been several key members of Beasley's election campaign that have quit. Pete took a call about the wording of the Constitution as well as the Democratic Infrastructure Bill to wrap the hour. To start the 2pm hour, Pete continued to talk about Cori Bush's comments as well as how powerful Jim Clyburn is right now in the Democratic party - with his influence in Ohio as well as speaking up for the continuation of the eviction moratorium in SC. To wrap the show, Pete talked about how efforts to defund the police are not going to work with programs like "Crisis Intervention Training", "Alternatives To Violence" and Nassau County's idea of allowing police to sue protestors that they escalated with.
