Balance for the former Vice President and the democrats to be ahead in the polls, but not a convention balance. Does that surprise you . Guest not really. I did not think there would be much of a convention balance, and i did nothing there will be much for President Trump, either. Two reasons why. Biden, i think, is maxed out.

I feel like there is so much unrest, and it needs to be happening in these communities because there is so much Police Brutality happening, and it frightens me and we have got to take down the establishment. Host when you say take out the establishment, what exactly does that mean . Caller defunding the police, starting from scratch, getting rid of all of these establishments that promote Police Brutality and anarchy and hatred toward black people. We have got to rip it down.
