There's something unusual going on with Kyle's voice, Emmanuel takes exception to being asked what's new, the loss of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the blatant hypocrisy of allowing Trump to fill the Supreme Court vacancy in this late stage of the campaign, how Republicans are cheating without breaking the rules, 2004 and 1988 are the last two times Republicans have won the popular vote in a presidential election, how Amy Coney Barrett is the "ultimate insult" to the memory of Ginsburg, the ineffectiveness of the Democratic response, how conversations are being hijacked by the right wing, what the Democrats need to do in order to ensure this never happens again, why winning isn't enough, how this sort of thing ties into Emmanuel's being bullied as a child, a nightmarish event on a school bus, how we're at a crucial crossroads, the debate is coming up in a week, why blind hate doesn't solve anything, analyzing an excerpt of a Lee Zeldin statement on his opponent, how Zeldin won't accept the science that protects against COVID-19, how Republicans are labeling their opponents as "socialists" and "radicals," a grand jury decision is due on prosecution of the cops who killed Breonna Taylor, some disturbing statements in advance of this, potential conflicts regarding polling places and face masks, why people need to cause a commotion if met with such idiocy.
