Thank you,

top of the hour
Ainsley, you heard what the
polsters said.

saying?
Brian PETE Hegseth is talking
to them over breakfast with
friends at Bacon, beach grill in
long branch,
PETE talk to the people, wont
you
PETE. I will, of course, guys
invented this. Now we get a
chance to do it.
Finally, back out with the folks
bacon, Beach, Grill New Jersey
to bees of people out
give Fran and Bacon Beach grill
credited
secret garden back here,
get to those folks, hopefully nut
700 hour.
They have been creative like a
lot of businesses in finding
ways to serve customers and be
open.
If you are out here on long
branch check it out
beautiful beach season. As you
can see,
I wore my flip flops just in
case we get a chance to go down
to the beach
enough about that
talk to the people here about
the news of the day
we will get to the Dnc in a
second,
this fine group of folks. We have
been chatting it up all morning
long.
That gentleman is big. Al
big AL right,
heck of a nickname.
I love it.
First of all your reaction to
the Dnc thats gone on this
week.
I really dont have a
reaction.
They are not impressive.
They havent done anything in forty four
years
and I dont see them doing
anything going forward.
Pete. How about you policeman?
Have you watched a little bit of
it?
I have only watched a little
bit of it.
Big blame game.
Instead of doing what theyre
going to do for us,
theyre busy pointing fingers at
Trump,
it makes no sense to me
PETE, absolutely
Maam. Is there anything Joe
Biden is going to talk tonight?
Is there anything you will wants
to hear from him or would want
to?
The best thing. Can I hear
from Joe Biden is that I am
stepping aside
Trump deserves to win
laughter
PETE. I dont think we are going
to hear that tonight, but you
never know.
I do have to ask you, though, the
good Year story, where good year
tire says its acceptable to
wear black lives matter or Lgbtq
gear, but not accept to be wear
blue lives matter or all lives
matter or Maga. Hats
whats your take
and they say they are not
political.
I say: go Firestone,
you think people look for
another option,
absolutely
absolutely
im a car guy,
im, Firestone or Cooper
PETE Maam. Does this surprise
you at all,
not at all
its just the political
statement?
They should not be making a
statement like that
and new. They have a fallout from
it
PETE they are
absolutely
PETE. Thank you very much.
We appreciate it
keeping moving our way.
Some folks want to talk and some
dont
thats how we are working it out
this morning,
sir, you are a Democrat.
I am
PETE supporting Joe Biden,
your thoughts on the convention
and how its going so far,
what I enjoy is seeing the
largess of the tent Whitman and
Collin Powell coming into the
game
you. What does Chris Steeb
Todd, Whitman agree with AOC or
comrade Cortez on
the environment is certainly
her big thing and it always was.
She is environmentalist of
longstanding, which used to be
big deal with the Republican
Party,
PETE thats, a good answer.
I dont think they agree on much
else.
I agree on that.
Come on back. What is that
ketchup
very important?
I will do. The awkward stand over
here know will probably stand
over here.
All this covid thing,
Sir whats, your name again
MIKE Jones
whats, your background,
retired police sergeant from
Elizabeth
and you,
Barbara Jones, small business
owner.
Thank you for your service
and for you
you are an independent,
very much so
PETE you are independent,
have not voted for Republicans,
often
once in my life.
Yet you are supporting the
president this time, why
supporting the republican
ticket?
Why is that sir?
I usually consider myself to
be Cixd of a leftist, but the
left has left me.
They have gone a little
overboard too far tore me
PETE how about as a law
enforcement officer the defund,
the police stuff? Is that part of
it?
It is part of it
and the false narrative.
I think, ninety nine point, nine percent of the cops are
out there doing the right thing
and we dont support the guys
that are doing the wrong thing.
More emphasis needs to be put on
that
PETE Great Point:
Maam. You are a small business
owner as well.
Yes,
PETE. What have you faced in New
Jersey?
We were closed almost one hundred
days
now that my business, which is a
salon, is open, its still very
difficult because there is less
disposable income out there. I
think in society and some of my
small business friends are going
to go under if everything
doesnt open up soon,
PETE thats the point:
can they make it?
I dont know
I have had my business for seventeen
years,
so I am holding on which is
great for me,
but I worry for my friends who
have small businesses,
the restaurants that Ares
clean up the you know to
indoor dining et Cetera, the
its going to be really really
tough for people to hold
themselves together during this
time.
Pete, you think open up and let
people make a personal choice.
I think all my small business
friends are doing everything
they can to follow the centers
for Disease Control guidelines
and things interest as safe as
they can be
yeah. I do think open things up
and let people make their own
decisions.
Pete Joe Biden says: wear a mask
for three more months.
Have you got alternatives? I
guess
you are hearing from them
more. We want to get to wonderful
people who have come out,
hopefully have more air time to
get to them as well.
People paying attention to, as
you can see, not just the
conventions but the reality of
you who mandates and things in
our country are affecting people
and their businesses
back to you, guys,
Brian. Instead of giving people
a chance to have indoor dining
keep people outside and slowly
starve, the restaurants of a
chance to make a living,
its unbelievable
Steve, but there they are
at the are out at the bacon.
