This week we addressed the following questions:

• How do you feel about Biden picking Sen. Kamala Harris? And do you have any strong feelings about her career and political background - especially since it was good enough to have gotten her elected multiple times in her past (District Attorney 2X, Attorney General 2X, then the US Senate) ? - 00:10:28
• How much does the VP pick normally weigh on your decision of who you vote for? Is that different this year? - 00:36:22
• Commercial Break: Please call your congressperson and demand that they keep the Postal Service fully funded and functioning (number below) and our Patreon will be available soon for supporters to show love -00:49:55
• Do you think there is the same energy around all the first she will become (Female VP, Black VP, Asian VP, HBCU graduate to be VP, Divine 9 member to be VP, etc) like there was with Barack Obama in 2008? Why- why not? - 00:51:59
• Some  feel more people than normal have been more vocal about her faults, especially on social media, then they have been over any candidate in the past (that they will likely still vote for) or even the current president? Do you think that is because of her gender and ethnic background only or other reasons? - 01:03:31

This week in the 1528 Sports segment we addressed the following questions in this episode:

• Question 1: Does sports opening up give  the rest of the world a false sense of safety/ feeling that 'Rona is over? - 00:07:28
• Question 2: Does sports being back distract from the movement? -  00:26:24

• Commercial Break: VOTE DAMMIT!!! Register now and vote early -  01:04:51
• Question 4: Only the NBA has a bubble for  player safety and smaller college conferences are cancelling fall sports... Do you think it is just overreacting by them for taking all these precautions or reckless of the other leagues for not going this far? -  01:08:17
• Question 5:  What are your thoughts on players that decided to sit out the season instead of risking playing and getting exposed to 'Rona? Most notable NFL players Marquis Goodwin was on ESPN last week and said if they had a bubble that he would still play but without one he won't as he is afraid to expose his wife and kids if he does catch it. - 01:18:40
