"I will take my chances and once again predict that Donald Trump will lose this election. Humbled as I am after these 4 yrs, I would still rather bet on and believe in the best in America"

My take, from our Oct. 25 show:

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

I think America should feel an extreme weight of moral shame that the murder of this little girl’s father is what it took for an awakening (and some still remain asleep). Children shouldn’t have to lose their fathers for social change.

Imagine you're an American who works with his hands, & you've lost your job because of the lockdowns. You turn on the TV & hear medical experts, academics, technocrats & journalists explain we must keep the economy closed. All these people making that case have jobs.

My take:

[James Todaro, MD @JamesTodaroMD]

Two categories of people:

1] Those who think COVID-19 will spark a Zoom-fueled remote work from home utopia.

2] Those with young kids.

Wanna watch a highly trained medical professional's soul get slowly squeezed on national television?

[Fareed Zakaria @FareedZakaria]

This crisis seems to have been designed to bring out the worst of Pres. Trump.

My take:

[CNN @CNN]

#FareedsTake: "The spread of the virus can be greatly slowed if governments act early, aggressively and intelligently. Unfortunately, that does not describe the response of the United States government to the coronavirus pandemic."
