On Sunday October 4, 2020, while in patient at Walter Reed Hospital for Covid-19, Donald Trump needlessly endangered his secret service agents for the purposes of a photo op. Why this matters, and why it is yet another example of the poor leadership in the United States and indecent behavior that have epitomized his administration.

Jeff discusses his thoughts on the news that Donald and Melania Trump have been diagnosed with Coronavirus. This after Donald Trump famously has not worn masks and lead packed rallies of his supporters, not encouraging mask use. This was something that was inevitable.

My take on last night's food fight (debate). While the debate did go off the rails, the fault was not equal. Joe Biden came to talk about policies, the other candidate was there to sneer, be cynical and take personal shots at the candidate and his family. Only one candidate in this race will unequivocally denounce white supremacy, instead of fanning the flames of hatred. JFK said "A rising tide lifts all the boats." Donald Trump punches holes in all of the boats so everyone drowns in his cynicism and filth. Hope you get something out of this.

Apathy, cynicism: two words that get in the way of progress and have been weaponized by the Republican party for many decades to get people to not care. To not fight back. To feel they cannot make a difference. To feel hopeless and helpless. They want you to NOT care so they can serve their own interests, stay in power, and not have a real dialogue on issues that affect you and your family. Have a listen.

It’s well known that Donald Trump does not apologize or take ownership of failures that happen on his watch. This has been on full display during this Covid-19 Pandemic. With the revelations last week in Bob Woodward’s newest book “Rage,” confirm what we already knew: it’s always about money and power for himself, it’s never about helping other people He may want to deflect from his incompetent leadership by calling it the “Chinavirus” or “Kung-Flu,” but he cannot run away from his praise of China’s dictator/President Xi. When the American people needed Trump to lead, he decided to stroke Xi’s ego and suck up to him. Don’t believe me? Have a listen. An American President cannot be afraid to have difficult conversations and stand up to bullies like President Xi, and Vladimir Putin. Sadly, with all his bluster, listen with your own ears how weak he is.

Unquestionably Joe Biden took his job as a Senator and Vice President with the seriousness those positions deserve. Still, recently "Golfer in Chief" Donald Trump attacked Joe Biden's work ethic, somehow taking a position campaigning indoors in crowded facilities, without his supporters being required to wear masks for THEIR OWN protection and others was better than Joe Biden's sit downs with voters answering questions, listening rather than just talking. In this episode, I discuss the work ethic that Joe Biden has shown throughout his career, and there is no reason to believe that he would take any different approach if he were given the opportunity to sit in the highest office in the country.

Up until 2016, every Presidential candidate had disclosed their tax returns to the public for the prior 40 years. Donald Trump did not and still has not. Tax returns are one of the most important measures of honesty, integrity, and who a public servant is actually serving. It's a matter of transparency and a safeguard against corruption. Joe Biden's tax returns tell the story of who he really is, and the struggle many Americans' have when a family member gets sick. Donald Trump hiding his tax returns does as well. Listen to find out why.

In the aftermath of the shooting of Jacob Floyd 7 times in the back by a police officer in Wisconsin, Jeff discusses his thoughts on the need for change to how we police in America, no matter how hard it is. Not only would it be better for our country, but it would be better for police officers.

With Earth Day happening this past week, I got to thinking about my time with a very special teacher I had in high school, Charles "Chuck" Deveney. Mr. Deveney started the "Save What's Left" Club at Coral Springs High School, and made a huge impact on me and so many others. He is our "Lorax," and this episode is dedicated to him. Thank you Mr. Deveney.

It's disgusting that the response to the Coronavirus pandemic has become political. But look no further than President Trump for the reasons why. In a time when a nation needs leadership, he predictably is not providing it. Jeff explains why.
