Saturday Morning Coffee for Saturday, Aug 22, 2020

Your host Reese Boyd and Producer Glenn Dye continue their discussion of the COVID-19 pandemic, masks and the perils of not wearing your mask on a Delta Airlines flight. Reese and Glenn discuss the DNC "basement" convention and efforts in South Carolina to challenge Gov. Henry McMaster's plans to allow CARES Act funding to be used by SC families to pay for school tuition, including for private and parochial schools. Reese is joined on the program by Oran Smith with the Palmetto Promise Institute to discuss the legal challenge.
On this episode of Saturday Morning Coffee, Reese discusses his recent family vacation to the mountains of NC and VA and a fun bike ride (no pedaling required!) down Virgnia's "Creeper Trail" in Damascus, VA.

Reese discusses a Coronvirus Update, including concerns about a "Labor Day spike", and recent efforts by SC Governor Henry McMaster to direct COVID relief funds to families who can used these funds for school tuition payments, even for private and religious schools.  Reese discusses the amazing story of Robert O'Neil, a national hero, and the former Navy Seal who shot Osama Bin Laden, was recently removed from a Delta Airlines flight, and even worse - BANNED from all Delta flights for LIFE - for posting a "mask-less selfie" of himself aboard a Delta flight.  Reese and Glen further discuss changes in the residency status of many New Yorkers, and other cities, many of whose residents are moving out because of the COVID pandemic, the lock-downs, and everything else that has happened as a result.

Reese and Producer Glenn Dye discuss the riveting DNC "Basement" convention and the media reactions to the show.  Reese discusses the fact that, despite the majority of COVID-19 deaths occurring in "blue" states, the Democrats, Blue state governors and blue city mayors, and uniformly adopting the talking point that COVID-19, and ALL COVID-19 fatalities (every single one of them!) are Donald Trump's fault!  We note that the only thing holding the convention's "fans" and "true believers" together is there insanely irrational hatred of President Donald Trump.

Reese discusses the Transition Integrity Project and this John Podesta project to hold "war games" on the Trump-Biden election in November.  The verdict - "prepare for a mess."  Reese notes the significant concern he has over the idea that prominent Democrats - and even some prominent Republicans - are  "gaming" various ways they might respond to an election result in November that they do not like.  The rather bizarre possibility that Nancy Pelosi might become President if the election (and its results) cannot be sorted out on a timely basis.  Reese comments on the "mail in voting" epidemic that has been unleashed in various states, and what a disastrous idea mail-in voting is.

Oran Smith, with Palmetto Promise Institute, joins the show to discuss an legal challenge to Gov. McMaster's plans to allow Cares Act funds to pay for school tuition in S.C., whether the schools involved are public, virtual, private, or parochial.

Thanks for listening!
