First we talk politics with Av Harris, a longtime political insider working in state government and elsewhere, and most recently the Communicaitons guy for Ned Lamont's Department of Public health. Then, we discuss the unions issue. Former NYC Mayor and presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg is the honest Democrat - the one willing to say that it's time for Joe Biden to stand up to unions and get teachers back in the classroom. And it was Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey who said the "Elephant in the Room" in the shooting of George Floyd was unions and the job security granted to problem cops. Then, 12 Year Old James talks Wall Street and the Great Game Stop Caper on this week's appearance.
