Newsom, Biden, and the poor
Show Notes

Bill  and Sherry explore whether Gov. Gavin Newsom is caving in to rebels against his shelter-at-home policy.  The podcasters disagree over Joe Biden's   campaign strategy.  Sherry favors Biden laying back, a version of the great heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali's rope-a-dope, where he waited against the ropes until his opponent punched himself into exhaustion.  Bill said Biden should attack--and also tell what a Biden presidency would mean to the country. And they look at the latest data showing the particular harm the coronavirus pandemic is causing Latinos and African Americans, especially the poor.
