Bob Stefanowski joins us to discuss the MasksForCT.org giveaways, how it went Saturday in Waterbury and a tease of tomorrow's event in New Haven. Also, we discuss why Connecticut joining a consortium of states for buying PPE probably means it will be harder to get.

We discuss Covid issues like - Is distance learning working, are kids working from home? Also, Todd shares his new parody song, 50 Ways to Beat the Democrats.

We talk 'trust' with Producer Mike. Remember when Americans used to believe in government and trust what politicians said? Were we better off then, or now? We take lots of calls, and in hour two we're joined by Eastern CT restaurant owner Brian Jessurun about surviving the shutdown, and Navy Commander and Disaster Expert Dave Stevens on the lessons we should learn from the virus.

There's lot to talk about today, and we've got the time to do it because, today, the governor's press conference was held in the morning, and the president isn't doing one. Wow. We have a full three hours!!! We are joined by an assistant professor from Quinnipiac who talks about CT's looming fiscal crisis.

Pat Sasser from NoTollsCT.org is getting geared up for another anti-toll fight as Jolly Ned indicates he's got tolls on his mind. We discuss that, and other matters of resistance - like the need to get Len Suzio back into the state senate!

We talk Covid issues - but also, some national politics unrelated to the virus - with regular Friday guest Michael Harrison of Talkers Magazine. That national politics is regarding the sex abuse charges against Joe Biden. Can he be derailed?

Activists are pushing for the state to be reopened, ASAP. We talk with one of those activists, LeeAnn Ducat, who argues that in a free society, the state has no right to be infringing our liberties in this way. But she also makes a practical argument, that a continued shutdown is not survivable. LeeAnn's Facebook page is #openctnow . Also visit CTLibertyRally.com.

Can restaurants survive the shutdown? And how will they be different moving forward? We talk to Scott Dolch, Executive Director of the Connecticut Restaurant Association.

Another guest from prison joins us today for the first time. He is longtime Connecticut prisoner Brent McCall, co-author, with Michael Liebowitz, of Down the Rabbit hole. Brent was Liebowitz's "cellie" (cellmate) for 11 years.

Joe Markley is here for his weekly visit. We discuss the Covid shutdown in CT and why it needs to end.
