	♥ 9:13am Doug Schulkind: I hope your special brownies are "special" brownies, Irene. So glad to be hanging with you, alanr! Happy happy, Gina Bacon! chresti! @TDK60 The Democratic Party is far to the right of my political persuasion, but I live in the real world and understand the real consequences of power, and I act accordingly.
	♥ 9:14am Gina Bacon: Hi Really Lisa!
	♥ 9:14am Webhamster Henry: @Doug Stacy Abrams is great! There's probably a good role in government for her.
	9:14am bigplanetnoise: Good morning, Really Lisa! I see you hiding right up there!
	9:14am bigplanetnoise: Morning, GFB!
	♥ 9:14am TDK60: Doug, yeh, of course. Same here.

	9:15am Funky16Corners: Doug! It was your vote that did it!
	9:15am KWilde: Morning Doug and fellow drummers!
	♥ 9:16am Doug Schulkind: Hello again, Chris Albertyn! Almost missed you all the way up at the top!
	♥ 9:17am Doug Schulkind: Welcome welcome welcome, Really Lisa!
	9:18am Bill D: Good morning everyone. These spoken excerpts are stunning and a work of genius to broadcast this morning.
	♥ 9:18am Doug Schulkind: Funky16Corners! KWilde!
	♥ 9:18am Gina Bacon: Thanks for this, Doug.
	♥ 9:18am Doug Schulkind: Happy to see you, Bill D!
	🥁 ♥ 9:23am duke: Please pass the brownies in this direction.
	♥ 9:23am TDK60: Hats off to all who worked to get more people out to vote. And those who hit the streets too. 60 arrested here in NYC the other night.
	🥁 ♥ 9:24am Brian in UK: Hello Doug TDK60, yes it still is the Shropshire Lad.
	♥ 9:24am Doug Schulkind: You get an extra-crunchy corner brownie, duke!
	♥ 9:24am Webhamster Henry: Are we going to hear some music from "Prez"?
	♥ 9:25am Doug Schulkind: @Wehamster Henry I'm staying away from the cute stuff today. One, it didn't seem appropriate, but two, I'm too freaking superstitious to play around with that mojo.
	♥ 9:25am Listener Gregory: Interesting idea for a show. I wasn't at all familiar with Ms. Hamer. Was she seated at the convention?
	♥ 9:27am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory She finally got seated at the 1968 convention. But in '64, the Democrats prohibited her attempt to integrate the all-white (of course) party delegation.
	♥ 9:27am TDK60: Brian, I want to go on a hike over there. One of these years..
	🥁 ♥ 9:28am Brian in UK: TDK0, you are more than welcome to stay here, my friend. Who knows when?
	🥁 ♥ 9:31am Brian in UK: TDK60 you might like to follow this road up the Long Mynd. www.google.co.uk...
	🥁 ♥ 9:32am listener james from westwood: Damn right I clapped to this tune.
	♥ 9:33am Doug Schulkind: You can read Queen Mother Jordan's speech right here: www.americanrhetoric.com...
	♥ 9:33am Doug Schulkind: I was going to edit out all this preamble stuff, but now I'm glad I left it in.
	♥ 9:34am TDK60: Brian, looks beautiful. What is your village, again?
	♥ 9:35am Doug Schulkind: Brian in Georgia? Brian in Pennsylvania? Brian in UK!
	♥ 9:36am Doug Schulkind: Barbara Jordan was the first Black person and first woman to present the keynote address at an American political convention.
	9:37am BillD: Barbara Jordans speech just started and I'm already in tears.
	🥁 ♥ 9:37am Brian in UK: TDK60 Munslow. Sad that 1 in 3 Americans did NOT vote.
	♥ 9:38am Doug Schulkind: Quite a bit of speechifying on today's Give the Drummer Some. If you came for the usual music, I feel your disappointment. I just had to go HERE right NOW. I am confident you will understand. I encourage you to hang on and listen with me.
	🥁 ♥ 9:39am Brian in UK: Brian Kemp is not a Brian you want to be!
	♥ 9:40am Listener Gregory: Hard to believe that the convention could listen to Hamer's speech and then not seat her. Of course, people today listen to stories of children being torn from their parents' arms and say, "They deserve it."
	🥁 ♥ 9:41am dutchtheo: Looks nice, Brian in UK, i went up the road on google maps, beautiful view, near Munslow i see! We wanted to go hiking in Wales last summer...
	♥ 9:42am Doug Schulkind: I believe before becoming a congresswoman, Barbara Joran was a school teacher.
	♥ 9:42am Listener Gregory: You can really hear elocution lessons, from when they were a thing.
	9:44am Marie: Hi Doug! Hi All!
	♥ 9:44am Doug Schulkind: Hi hi hi, Marie!!
	♥ 9:45am Doug Schulkind: Today's Democratic party has much to re-learn from this speech.
	♥ 9:49am Doug Schulkind: It really is worth watching the footage of this speech. The interspersed camera shots of the mostly lily-white crowd of delegates in their absurd hats, taking in this speech with looks of fear and wonder. It is something to see.
	🥁 ♥ 9:51am Brian in UK: dutchtheo, well if you do get here like TDK60 you are welcome. Do see many Dutch plates in North Wales.
	♥ 9:51am TDK60: 1976. One of those rare years this country wasn't invading somewhere. (I think.)
	🥁 ♥ 9:52am Artie: Doug Schulkind, once again bringing the strong spiritual updrafts. Greetings all on this fine morning.
	♥ 9:53am Doug Schulkind: Like breathing with both lungs again, Artie!
	♥ 9:53am TDK60: Huh, Brian. When I was in England a few years ago I made fast fellow-travelling pals with a Dutch couple.
	♥ 9:54am Doug Schulkind: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master." This -- This -- "This expresses my idea of Democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no Democracy."
	♥ 9:56am Doug Schulkind: Up next, Mario Cuomo's beloved "Tale of Two Cities" speech, presented as the keynote to the Democratic National Convention in 1984.
	♥ 9:56am Listener Gregory: Wait, after that speech the convention band started to play "I've been workin' on the railroad"?? Did I hear that right??? Good God.
	🥁 ♥ 9:58am dutchtheo: Thanks, Brian, the Dutch are a travelling clan, with trailers, you see them all over Europe, and beyond
	🥁 ♥ 9:59am Jeff Golick: How many times can we hear the same lesson without getting it? It's as if we actively don't want to learn it. What's up.
	🥁 ♥ 10:00am Irene Trudel: Never heard Jordan's speech, @Doug. Thanks!
	♥ 10:03am Doug Schulkind: How many roads must a Democrat walk down, Jeff Golick?
	♥ 10:04am Doug Schulkind: Glad you heard it, Irene. She has been and remains one of my heroes.
	♥ 10:06am Listener Gregory: @dutchtheo, I watched my DVD of Sun Ra and John Cale two nights ago, which you generously transferred to me after you won it in the fundraiser. It is still fantastic! Thanks again.
	10:07am Marie: I love ya' Doug
	♥ 10:08am Doug Schulkind: Love you back, Marie!
	🥁 ♥ 10:09am Uncle Michael: We have a Vice-President elect?
	♥ 10:09am StringOFperils: Oh, man, I missed the first chunk 'o speechifyin' funk. Well...I'm here now. Bring on the purple prose. Good morning, Doug and everyone!
	♥ 10:09am Webhamster Henry: Governor Tappan Zee!
	♥ 10:10am Listener Gregory: This is the speech that clinched Cuomo's bridge. Ack, you beat me to it, @Webmaster Henry!
	♥ 10:11am Doug Schulkind: Be here NOW, StringOFperils!
	♥ 10:12am TDK60: Oh my, this is a tad impolite. Oh my.
	♥ 10:12am Doug Schulkind: @Uncle Michael Yeah. I called the election. Didn't you get the press release?
	♥ 10:13am Listener Gregory: At this point, Andrew Cuomo would be pointing at a graph.
	10:14am Marie: What a great summary of Ronnie's ideas about government and the poor
	🥁 ♥ 10:15am Jeff Golick: Cuomo's Forest Hills Diary is a good read on local NYC politics.
	♥ 10:18am StringOFperils: Hoo boy. (as they say)
	♥ 10:18am Listener Gregory: This is one of the great American speeches, but we shouldn't forget that in the election, Reagan won 49 states and 58.8% of the vote.
	♥ 10:20am Doug Schulkind: Many thought that Cuomo was a shoe-in for the Supreme Court but for some private details about his family that was held as a threat.
	♥ 10:23am Webhamster Henry: E.R.A. Maybe that'll pass soon.
	🥁 ♥ 10:23am Jeff Golick: Well, his name ends in a vowel, so...
	♥ 10:24am TDK60: This speech would make most neo-liberals in the Demz uncomfortable today!
	♥ 10:25am Listener Gregory: La plus ça change...
	♥ 10:25am Rich in Washington: Hello Doug! Howdy everybody!
	♥ 10:26am Doug Schulkind: Welcome aboard, Rich!
	♥ 10:30am Webhamster Henry: Mario's on fire!
	🥁 ♥ 10:32am dutchtheo: Stellar!, Listener Gregory!
	♥ 10:34am Rich in Washington: This is wonderful, Doug!
	♥ 10:34am Listener Gregory: "The failure to separate the salesman from the product" explains the Reagan presidency in one phrase.
	♥ 10:35am Franco Twinkie: To bad the ideology of the Democratic Party can never seem to remain intact once it is outside the confines of the convention center.
	♥ 10:35am Doug Schulkind: Anne Gorsuch Burford, mother of Neil Fucking Gorsuch...
	10:36am Marie: I'm dipping in and out f here as I am working but I wanted to say that Rupert Murdoch and fox provided a veritable nuclear boost to the repubs. I despise rupert murdock
	♥ 10:37am Doug Schulkind: How creepy is that? Cuomo mention Anne Gorsuch and the Supreme Court in almost the same sentence. VERY CREEPY.
	♥ 10:37am TDK60: Morning Franco.
	10:37am wendy del formaggio: Hi Doug. I just tuned in. Thanks for playing Mario Cuomo’s speech. This is great.
	♥ 10:37am Doug Schulkind: @Franco Twinkie So terribly true. But we still need a lodestar. A moral compass.
	♥ 10:38am Doug Schulkind: You bet, wendy del formaggio!
	10:39am wendy del formaggio: Ooh. I love good swipes against Social Darwinism!
	♥ 10:39am Listener Gregory: I had completely forgotten about Anne Gorsuch Burford. I looked her up, and the description of her time as head of the EPA is exactly what is happening to the EPA during the Trump administration. Exactly the same.
	10:40am Marie: @Franco--the reality of politics is messy and requires compromise
	♥ 10:40am StringOFperils: Yes. Doug. At least a compass reading. Even as the maps dissolve. The alternative is nihilism, and that is a sinkhole.
	♥ 10:41am Doug Schulkind: Saw this on Twitter just now and sharing it here: For people not from Georgia: Please stop spreading the narrative that Stacey Abrams turned GA blue by herself. Tamieka Atkins - ProGeorgia Helen Bulter - GCPA Nsé Ufot - New GA Project Deborah Scott- GA Stand-Up Know their names, learn their work, and give them credit.
	♥ 10:42am Franco Twinkie: On point Doug. From this remove, Ronald Reagan seems like a training wheels monster. If my memory serves me 1984 was less than wonderful, but compared to 2020, it was a day at the beach.
	10:42am Marie: @Doug--I never heard that quote before--it is really powerful
	♥ 10:43am Listener Gregory: Reagan has received a glossy PR treatment focusing on the improvement of American attitudes in his "Morning in America" campaign. Young people ought to hear this speech to get an idea of what it was actually like to live through his presidency, which was totally opposite to his glossy reputation.
	♥ 10:44am TDK60: I do recall the fear of nuke war then. I do recall the fascist death squads unleashed in Central America by Reagan's nod.
	♥ 10:44am Doug Schulkind: Reagan sowed the seeds. He made it acceptable to be intolerant again. Trump was grown in a Petri dish bathed in Reagan solution.
	10:45am Marie: He was really creepy
	♥ 10:45am Webhamster Henry: Trump learned his kind of democracy from his father too!
	♥ 10:45am Listener Gregory: @TDK60, I actually spent time wondering in the 80s whether I should put money into retirement savings given the likelihood that Reagan and Brezhnev would start a nuclear war. This is not a metaphor—I actually did this.
	♥ 10:46am Doug Schulkind: On January 20, 2020, we will have a new president of the United States. And will have a woman Vice President, a child of immigrants. Wow! Wow! Wow!
	♥ 10:47am TDK60: What is Walter Mondale up to these days?
	♥ 10:47am Rich in Washington: I was a teenager when Reagan was in office - most of my teenage years, in fact. I remember hearing a radio production by Joe Cuomo called Second Coming: Ronald Reagan and the Apocalypse and it scared the shit out of me.
	♥ 10:49am Listener Gregory: I have to bug out to... rake leaves of all things. Yes, it must be done now. But thanks for this, Doug. I had no idea it was what I needed when I woke up this morning.
	♥ 10:49am StringOFperils: WE are all still here today. Let's be thankful. And let's be watchful.
	♥ 10:50am Doug Schulkind: RAKING leaves is a big job, Listener Gregory. Don't BLOW it.
	♥ 10:51am Rich in Washington: Ronald Reagan and the Prophecy of Armageddon, originally broadcast on WBIA. I paid a mint to have it digitized from Pacifica Archives (or rather, the person in charge of archives pulled it out of a collection and charged me a mint for it).
	♥ 10:51am Webhamster Henry: @Rich you're lucky WBAI didn't erase it! They were often scrounging for tape.
	♥ 10:52am Doug Schulkind: @Rich in Washington I listened contemporaneously to every minute of Ronald Reagan and the Prophecy of Armageddon. Fucking terrifying.
	🥁 ♥ 10:54am Jeff Golick: @Doug: Stacey Abrams herself is offering thanks to those orgs above and others. twitter.com...
	♥ 10:55am Franco Twinkie: Most people didn't have the displeasure of watching Ronald Reagan build his arsenal like us folks out in California. When he displaced Pat brown as governor, we knew we were in for a hosing. But of course lots of people loved what he had to say! To be a tyrant you need an army behind you, as was demonstrated this past Tuesday. Trump is a living nightmare, but to a lot of people he is a dream come true.
	♥ 10:58am TDK60: Franco, lefties were paying attention to Raygun way back in the '60s. Ya know, Black Panthers, Brown Berets, etc. standing up to him as Calif. gov.
	♥ 10:58am Rich in Washington: I want to find that late 70s SNL skit where one by one people were turning into Reaganites - a parody of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It was both funny and eerily prescient.
	11:03am Marie: @Franco--well said!
	11:05am Marie: When I can, I'm going to go out on my street and start whooping it up
	♥ 11:06am Doug Schulkind: I purchased this album at a campaign rally in Brooklyn for Jesse Jackson in 1988. Unknown to me, my future wife (also named Jessie) was at that same rally and also purchase a copy of this fundraising campaign recording. We may be the only house in a America with TWO COPIES of "Jump For Jessie."
	11:06am thedunkel: Good morning Mr. Drummer! Good morning all! Thank for playing all these speeches today, need it more than ever.
	♥ 11:06am Webhamster Henry: I gave a "Jesse Jackson for President" record to Irwin a few years ago, but it wasn't this tune.
	11:07am Marie: What a neat story, Doug. Sounds like fate that you 2 are together
	♥ 11:07am Doug Schulkind: Jump for thedunkel!
	♥ 11:07am StringOFperils: I know I'm off-world, and probably should avoid the indelicacy of weighing in on this stuff, but I AM looking forward to his orangeness being indicted on a range of charges when all of this is ironed out a bit more.
	🥁 ♥ 11:08am Uncle Michael: Growing up in Chicago, I have a complicated view of Jesse Jackson.
	♥ 11:08am northguineahills: Doug has suddenly become Irwin. (he's a mighty sparrow fan). Off for an interview in my car, then to homeless shelter, at least I got dematological meds I need. (election is almost there!, I did my part, drove to Gainesville to vote).
	11:08am Marie: Amen, SoP! I want to see him in an orange jumpsuit in cuffs.
	♥ 11:09am Michael 98145: destroy all monsters
	🥁 ♥ 11:09am Maggie B.: Doug, remember this one? (Hope the link works...) ourstage.com...
	♥ 11:10am Doug Schulkind: @northguineahills I was digging Mighty Sparrow since before Irwin was born. (Not really.) I provided Irwin with a copy of this tune when he was trawling for Presidential theme music.
	♥ 11:10am Doug Schulkind: @Michael 9814 So many monsters.
	♥ 11:11am fred: @Doug: There was some talk about Obama here after his keynote speech, but he was totally unknown in France. My father asked me who the guy was, and I said he would be the first black president. That impressed him a lot what that came to pass
	11:11am Marie: Good luck, NGH. Hi.
	♥ 11:13am Franco Twinkie: Doug, thanks for playing Christo Redentor. One of my favorite late night records. Why? Because I'm an old person who remembers it from the prehistoric days of free form radio. Just like I remember Ronald Reagan throwing it down with the anti-war movement in Berkeley. The light, the dark the light, the dark.
	♥ 11:13am Doug Schulkind: @fred From your lips to Jah's ears!
	♥ 11:13am northguineahills: I have an interview via Zoom, I guess the library is my best bet (Senior GIS position in Seminole County).
	🥁 ♥ 11:14am Uncle Michael: Good luck, NGH!
	♥ 11:14am Doug Schulkind: Here is my playlist from November 7, 2008. The program that contained this Obama Celebration set: wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:17am Wendy del Formaggio: Has anyone seen the show "Soul!" that was produced out of Newark public television in the late-60s/early-70s? It's on the PBS/Ch.13 Passport streaming service. I mention it because it's really cool, and because Max Roach appears often in it.
	♥ 11:18am northguineahills: @Doug: I knew you were older then I, but not "irwin" older then I....
	11:18am Marie: Yes, NGH, the library. And if they ask about it you can lie and say you were having problems with your internet connection (unasked for advice)
	♥ 11:19am fred: @NGH: Fingers crossed while knocking on wood!
	♥ 11:20am Rich in Washington: I remember the office I was working at during Obama's inauguration, we were allowed to just drop working and watch it on TV. I had this rudimentary DJ/media rig in my office and made an ambient mix of channel flipping, mixed with the audio of Bush flying away on Air Force One's helicopter.
	11:20am rww: Good morning! Perfect selections as always. Thank you DS.
	♥ 11:20am Doug Schulkind: Way to make an entrnace, rww!
	11:21am rw: Huh. Too many w's. Sorry. It's early.
	♥ 11:21am Webhamster Henry: Currently, our library has moved their wifi routers near the walls so people can park outside with laptops/phones and snag the internet.
	♥ 11:21am TDK60: Yeh Franco, that Harvey Mandel album is good.
	♥ 11:22am Webhamster Henry: There were a whole lotta Obama songs!
	11:22am Really Lisa: Rich @10:58, fwiw, here's a page re the SNL episode, but can't find a vid clip. www.onesnladay.com...
	♥ 11:23am Doug Schulkind: True story: My first foray into politics was during the McGovern campaign in 1972. My sister and I went to campaign headquarters to do some envelope stuffing. The headquarters was in the Watergate Hotel. It was two weeks after the "plumbers" got caught breaking in. As my sister and I headed into the building a security guard said to us, with a chuckle, "You all better keep quiet, the place might be bugged."
	11:23am Marie: I did want to say that I am grateful for all the wonderful. strong, good-hearted people who do enter politics--you gotta be tough
	♥ 11:24am Doug Schulkind: @Webhamster Henry I have almost three hours worth of Obama songs. Rob Weisberg played a ton on the air back in 2008: wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:25am Rich in Washington: Thanks, Really Lisa! That's a start!
	♥ 11:26am Michael 98145: at last
	♥ 11:26am TDK60: Reuters and BBC still reporting Biden is in lead. A recount may happen in Georgia.
	♥ 11:26am Doug Schulkind: On Election Day in 2008, WFMU ran a separate special election webstream. Many DJs contributed hour-long programs to celebrate. I did a live show, playing an hour's worth of different versions of "A Change Is Gonna Come": wfmu.org...
	🥁 ♥ 11:27am Uncle Michael: After this epic program...at the top of the hour...join me for the usual Hinky Dinky Time silliness, won't you? wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:27am Doug Schulkind: Here come's Barack Obama's keynote address to the DNC in 2004.
	♥ 11:29am Doug Schulkind: He was echoing Barbara Jordan's opening right there.
	♥ 11:29am Michael 98145: seems so long ago
	♥ 11:30am Webhamster Henry: Irwin's election special Marathon CD from 2016 has lots of goodies on it!
	♥ 11:30am StringOFperils: @UM > Good old run-of-the-mill silliness is something to be treasured always.
	♥ 11:31am fred: I hope Pennsylvania doesn't come down to the segregated ballots that SCOTUS will throw out
	11:31am Marie: I think his story would also be possible in some other countries, like, Canada?
	♥ 11:32am Michael 98145: pride seems so long ago
	♥ 11:33am Franco Twinkie: I just hope that Joe Biden enlists Barak Obama as an advisor going forward.
	♥ 11:34am Doug Schulkind: We have more work to do. Get those motherfucking beautiful Democrats elected senator in Georgia. Volunteer to phonebank and textbank, etc. Send as much $$ as you possibly can.
	🥁 ♥ 11:35am Brian in UK: Heard barackobama talking in Florida. He still sounds as fluent as ever. He knew that he could only do so much in his eight years.
	♥ 11:36am northguineahills: tru dat, Brian.... (especially his second term).
	♥ 11:36am Doug Schulkind: @Brian in UK I should hope Obama is still fluent. He's younger than I am!
	♥ 11:36am Franco Twinkie: By the way, where is John Kerry?
	🥁 ♥ 11:37am Brian in UK: Doug and that is another point. How many people of both parties are in power and over Seventy. Young blood please apply.
	♥ 11:38am northguineahills: Obama's speech in Berlin was better then Kennedy's, IMHO....
	♥ 11:40am northguineahills: Could you imaginean Sec of State w/ the aptitude of Kerry today (mi diosas, gracias). (w/ this administration).
	♥ 11:40am Doug Schulkind: If only it were so, Mr. Obama.
	♥ 11:41am northguineahills: (I heard Obama's Philly speech).
	🥁 ♥ 11:41am Brian in UK: Doug, glad you found a path to create this programme.
	11:42am Marie: I thought John Kerry was great. Remember the swift boaters? (sorry to bring that ugliness up)
	♥ 11:42am Doug Schulkind: @northguineahills Obama's speech on Race in Philadelphia was historic. The speech was given, in part, to flush the news cycle that was rampaging over his comments about Pennsylvanians bitterly clinging to their guns and religion.
	♥ 11:43am fred: This speech painfully shows the steep decline in presidential rhetoric ability (among many things) since then, even though he wasn't president back then
	11:43am Marie: Amen!
	🥁 ♥ 11:44am Brian in UK: Esperanza.
	🥁 ♥ 11:44am Hopey Sockmonkey: Obama sounds so young here. It's making me teary-eyed.
	♥ 11:45am Doug Schulkind: I just learned this. Apparently, Georgia has no residency requirements in order to register to vote. If you can, MOVE TO FRICKIN GEORGIA. New people can register to vote up to December 7 to vote in the run-off elections for the two senate races.
	♥ 11:45am alanr: Hurray for neo-liberalism? yuckee
	♥ 11:47am Doug Schulkind: Campaign rally for Uncle Michael assembles right here: wfmu.org... Vote Hinky!
	🥁 ♥ 11:47am chresti: Aww... a favorite Burning Spear!
	♥ 11:48am Wendy del Formaggio: What alanr said.
	♥ 11:48am northguineahills: @Doug: I saw that today! (Look at Savannah or Atlanta)
	♥ 11:49am northguineahills: I always rally for UM!
	♥ 11:49am fred: I wouldn't mind AOC replacing Schumer in two years, but I guess that would be too much of a long shot
	♥ 11:50am TDK60: Thanks Doug. Good weekend, all.
	🥁 ♥ 11:51am chresti: Thank you Doug!
	♥ 11:52am Doug Schulkind: @fred Not a long shot, as far as I can tell. She won't replace Schumer as the highest-ranking Democrat in the senate, but she could replace him in the senate. That would be a brilliant thing.
	♥ 11:53am Wendy del Formaggio: What Doug said (about AOC)! Right on!
	🥁 ♥ 11:53am Jeff Golick: Thanks, Doug.
	♥ 11:53am Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks for a fabulous show, Doug. Sending love and appreciation your way.
	♥ 11:54am Doug Schulkind: This Steinski number wasn't part of my celebration show back then. This Rev. Joseph Lowery speech was delivered at Obama's first inauguration about seven weeks after the show happened!!
	♥ 11:54am northguineahills: what fred said....
	♥ 11:54am Doug Schulkind: Love to you and yours, dear Wendy!
	🥁 ♥ 11:54am Uncle Michael: Thanks for this monumental show, Doug.
	♥ 11:55am Doug Schulkind: Love you, Michael. Thanks.
	🥁 ♥ 11:55am dutchtheo: Thanks, Doug! Happy day!
	11:55am Marie: I second UM's comment and fully support UM
	♥ 11:56am northguineahills: Amen (so be it, original Hebrew)!.
	11:57am Really Lisa: Thank you, Doug! 🙌💕
	♥ 11:57am northguineahills: Will listen in the car, UM!
	🥁 ♥ 11:57am Uncle Michael: Thanks, NGH.
	♥ 11:57am northguineahills: Needed this. Doug, for my razzled nerves. Gracias!
	♥ 11:57am Doug Schulkind: Bless you all. Thank you so much for sticking it out with me. I had a lot to get off my chest.
	♥ 11:58am StringOFperils: Thank you Doug. And thanks for fighting the good fight down there folks. Wish it was all an ad hominem problem, this burning world, but you just helped us all take a giant step in a better direction. Thank you.
	🥁 ♥ 11:58am Brian in UK: Thank you Mr DJ.
	11:59am rw: Thank you Doug!! Like fred, I still have my fingers crossed, but feeling pretty good.
	♥ 11:59am Franco Twinkie: Thanks Doug for reminded us of all the fire that use to burn.

	♥ 9:14am Gina Bacon: Hi Really Lisa!
	♥ 9:14am Webhamster Henry: @Doug Stacy Abrams is great! There's probably a good role in government for her.
	9:14am bigplanetnoise: Good morning, Really Lisa! I see you hiding right up there!

	♥ 9:16am Doug Schulkind: Hello again, Chris Albertyn! Almost missed you all the way up at the top!
	♥ 9:17am Doug Schulkind: Welcome welcome welcome, Really Lisa!
	9:18am Bill D: Good morning everyone. These spoken excerpts are stunning and a work of genius to broadcast this morning.
	♥ 9:18am Doug Schulkind: Funky16Corners! KWilde!
	♥ 9:18am Gina Bacon: Thanks for this, Doug.
	♥ 9:18am Doug Schulkind: Happy to see you, Bill D!
	🥁 ♥ 9:23am duke: Please pass the brownies in this direction.
	♥ 9:23am TDK60: Hats off to all who worked to get more people out to vote. And those who hit the streets too. 60 arrested here in NYC the other night.
	🥁 ♥ 9:24am Brian in UK: Hello Doug TDK60, yes it still is the Shropshire Lad.
	♥ 9:24am Doug Schulkind: You get an extra-crunchy corner brownie, duke!
	♥ 9:24am Webhamster Henry: Are we going to hear some music from "Prez"?
	♥ 9:25am Doug Schulkind: @Wehamster Henry I'm staying away from the cute stuff today. One, it didn't seem appropriate, but two, I'm too freaking superstitious to play around with that mojo.
	♥ 9:25am Listener Gregory: Interesting idea for a show. I wasn't at all familiar with Ms. Hamer. Was she seated at the convention?
	♥ 9:27am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory She finally got seated at the 1968 convention. But in '64, the Democrats prohibited her attempt to integrate the all-white (of course) party delegation.
	♥ 9:27am TDK60: Brian, I want to go on a hike over there. One of these years..
	🥁 ♥ 9:28am Brian in UK: TDK0, you are more than welcome to stay here, my friend. Who knows when?
	🥁 ♥ 9:31am Brian in UK: TDK60 you might like to follow this road up the Long Mynd. www.google.co.uk...
	🥁 ♥ 9:32am listener james from westwood: Damn right I clapped to this tune.
	♥ 9:33am Doug Schulkind: You can read Queen Mother Jordan's speech right here: www.americanrhetoric.com...
	♥ 9:33am Doug Schulkind: I was going to edit out all this preamble stuff, but now I'm glad I left it in.
	♥ 9:34am TDK60: Brian, looks beautiful. What is your village, again?
	♥ 9:35am Doug Schulkind: Brian in Georgia? Brian in Pennsylvania? Brian in UK!
	♥ 9:36am Doug Schulkind: Barbara Jordan was the first Black person and first woman to present the keynote address at an American political convention.
	9:37am BillD: Barbara Jordans speech just started and I'm already in tears.
	🥁 ♥ 9:37am Brian in UK: TDK60 Munslow. Sad that 1 in 3 Americans did NOT vote.
	♥ 9:38am Doug Schulkind: Quite a bit of speechifying on today's Give the Drummer Some. If you came for the usual music, I feel your disappointment. I just had to go HERE right NOW. I am confident you will understand. I encourage you to hang on and listen with me.
	🥁 ♥ 9:39am Brian in UK: Brian Kemp is not a Brian you want to be!
	♥ 9:40am Listener Gregory: Hard to believe that the convention could listen to Hamer's speech and then not seat her. Of course, people today listen to stories of children being torn from their parents' arms and say, "They deserve it."
	🥁 ♥ 9:41am dutchtheo: Looks nice, Brian in UK, i went up the road on google maps, beautiful view, near Munslow i see! We wanted to go hiking in Wales last summer...
	♥ 9:42am Doug Schulkind: I believe before becoming a congresswoman, Barbara Joran was a school teacher.
	♥ 9:42am Listener Gregory: You can really hear elocution lessons, from when they were a thing.
	9:44am Marie: Hi Doug! Hi All!
	♥ 9:44am Doug Schulkind: Hi hi hi, Marie!!
	♥ 9:45am Doug Schulkind: Today's Democratic party has much to re-learn from this speech.
	♥ 9:49am Doug Schulkind: It really is worth watching the footage of this speech. The interspersed camera shots of the mostly lily-white crowd of delegates in their absurd hats, taking in this speech with looks of fear and wonder. It is something to see.
	🥁 ♥ 9:51am Brian in UK: dutchtheo, well if you do get here like TDK60 you are welcome. Do see many Dutch plates in North Wales.
	♥ 9:51am TDK60: 1976. One of those rare years this country wasn't invading somewhere. (I think.)
	🥁 ♥ 9:52am Artie: Doug Schulkind, once again bringing the strong spiritual updrafts. Greetings all on this fine morning.
	♥ 9:53am Doug Schulkind: Like breathing with both lungs again, Artie!
	♥ 9:53am TDK60: Huh, Brian. When I was in England a few years ago I made fast fellow-travelling pals with a Dutch couple.
	♥ 9:54am Doug Schulkind: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master." This -- This -- "This expresses my idea of Democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no Democracy."
	♥ 9:56am Doug Schulkind: Up next, Mario Cuomo's beloved "Tale of Two Cities" speech, presented as the keynote to the Democratic National Convention in 1984.
	♥ 9:56am Listener Gregory: Wait, after that speech the convention band started to play "I've been workin' on the railroad"?? Did I hear that right??? Good God.
	🥁 ♥ 9:58am dutchtheo: Thanks, Brian, the Dutch are a travelling clan, with trailers, you see them all over Europe, and beyond
	🥁 ♥ 9:59am Jeff Golick: How many times can we hear the same lesson without getting it? It's as if we actively don't want to learn it. What's up.
	🥁 ♥ 10:00am Irene Trudel: Never heard Jordan's speech, @Doug. Thanks!
	♥ 10:03am Doug Schulkind: How many roads must a Democrat walk down, Jeff Golick?
	♥ 10:04am Doug Schulkind: Glad you heard it, Irene. She has been and remains one of my heroes.
	♥ 10:06am Listener Gregory: @dutchtheo, I watched my DVD of Sun Ra and John Cale two nights ago, which you generously transferred to me after you won it in the fundraiser. It is still fantastic! Thanks again.
	10:07am Marie: I love ya' Doug
	♥ 10:08am Doug Schulkind: Love you back, Marie!
	🥁 ♥ 10:09am Uncle Michael: We have a Vice-President elect?
	♥ 10:09am StringOFperils: Oh, man, I missed the first chunk 'o speechifyin' funk. Well...I'm here now. Bring on the purple prose. Good morning, Doug and everyone!
	♥ 10:09am Webhamster Henry: Governor Tappan Zee!
	♥ 10:10am Listener Gregory: This is the speech that clinched Cuomo's bridge. Ack, you beat me to it, @Webmaster Henry!
	♥ 10:11am Doug Schulkind: Be here NOW, StringOFperils!
	♥ 10:12am TDK60: Oh my, this is a tad impolite. Oh my.
	♥ 10:12am Doug Schulkind: @Uncle Michael Yeah. I called the election. Didn't you get the press release?
	♥ 10:13am Listener Gregory: At this point, Andrew Cuomo would be pointing at a graph.
	10:14am Marie: What a great summary of Ronnie's ideas about government and the poor
	🥁 ♥ 10:15am Jeff Golick: Cuomo's Forest Hills Diary is a good read on local NYC politics.
	♥ 10:18am StringOFperils: Hoo boy. (as they say)
	♥ 10:18am Listener Gregory: This is one of the great American speeches, but we shouldn't forget that in the election, Reagan won 49 states and 58.8% of the vote.
	♥ 10:20am Doug Schulkind: Many thought that Cuomo was a shoe-in for the Supreme Court but for some private details about his family that was held as a threat.
	♥ 10:23am Webhamster Henry: E.R.A. Maybe that'll pass soon.
	🥁 ♥ 10:23am Jeff Golick: Well, his name ends in a vowel, so...
	♥ 10:24am TDK60: This speech would make most neo-liberals in the Demz uncomfortable today!
	♥ 10:25am Listener Gregory: La plus ça change...
	♥ 10:25am Rich in Washington: Hello Doug! Howdy everybody!
	♥ 10:26am Doug Schulkind: Welcome aboard, Rich!
	♥ 10:30am Webhamster Henry: Mario's on fire!
	🥁 ♥ 10:32am dutchtheo: Stellar!, Listener Gregory!
	♥ 10:34am Rich in Washington: This is wonderful, Doug!
	♥ 10:34am Listener Gregory: "The failure to separate the salesman from the product" explains the Reagan presidency in one phrase.
	♥ 10:35am Franco Twinkie: To bad the ideology of the Democratic Party can never seem to remain intact once it is outside the confines of the convention center.
	♥ 10:35am Doug Schulkind: Anne Gorsuch Burford, mother of Neil Fucking Gorsuch...
	10:36am Marie: I'm dipping in and out f here as I am working but I wanted to say that Rupert Murdoch and fox provided a veritable nuclear boost to the repubs. I despise rupert murdock
	♥ 10:37am Doug Schulkind: How creepy is that? Cuomo mention Anne Gorsuch and the Supreme Court in almost the same sentence. VERY CREEPY.
	♥ 10:37am TDK60: Morning Franco.
	10:37am wendy del formaggio: Hi Doug. I just tuned in. Thanks for playing Mario Cuomo’s speech. This is great.
	♥ 10:37am Doug Schulkind: @Franco Twinkie So terribly true. But we still need a lodestar. A moral compass.
	♥ 10:38am Doug Schulkind: You bet, wendy del formaggio!
	10:39am wendy del formaggio: Ooh. I love good swipes against Social Darwinism!
	♥ 10:39am Listener Gregory: I had completely forgotten about Anne Gorsuch Burford. I looked her up, and the description of her time as head of the EPA is exactly what is happening to the EPA during the Trump administration. Exactly the same.
	10:40am Marie: @Franco--the reality of politics is messy and requires compromise
	♥ 10:40am StringOFperils: Yes. Doug. At least a compass reading. Even as the maps dissolve. The alternative is nihilism, and that is a sinkhole.
	♥ 10:41am Doug Schulkind: Saw this on Twitter just now and sharing it here: For people not from Georgia: Please stop spreading the narrative that Stacey Abrams turned GA blue by herself. Tamieka Atkins - ProGeorgia Helen Bulter - GCPA Nsé Ufot - New GA Project Deborah Scott- GA Stand-Up Know their names, learn their work, and give them credit.
	♥ 10:42am Franco Twinkie: On point Doug. From this remove, Ronald Reagan seems like a training wheels monster. If my memory serves me 1984 was less than wonderful, but compared to 2020, it was a day at the beach.
	10:42am Marie: @Doug--I never heard that quote before--it is really powerful
	♥ 10:43am Listener Gregory: Reagan has received a glossy PR treatment focusing on the improvement of American attitudes in his "Morning in America" campaign. Young people ought to hear this speech to get an idea of what it was actually like to live through his presidency, which was totally opposite to his glossy reputation.
	♥ 10:44am TDK60: I do recall the fear of nuke war then. I do recall the fascist death squads unleashed in Central America by Reagan's nod.
	♥ 10:44am Doug Schulkind: Reagan sowed the seeds. He made it acceptable to be intolerant again. Trump was grown in a Petri dish bathed in Reagan solution.
	10:45am Marie: He was really creepy
	♥ 10:45am Webhamster Henry: Trump learned his kind of democracy from his father too!
	♥ 10:45am Listener Gregory: @TDK60, I actually spent time wondering in the 80s whether I should put money into retirement savings given the likelihood that Reagan and Brezhnev would start a nuclear war. This is not a metaphor—I actually did this.
	♥ 10:46am Doug Schulkind: On January 20, 2020, we will have a new president of the United States. And will have a woman Vice President, a child of immigrants. Wow! Wow! Wow!
	♥ 10:47am TDK60: What is Walter Mondale up to these days?
	♥ 10:47am Rich in Washington: I was a teenager when Reagan was in office - most of my teenage years, in fact. I remember hearing a radio production by Joe Cuomo called Second Coming: Ronald Reagan and the Apocalypse and it scared the shit out of me.
	♥ 10:49am Listener Gregory: I have to bug out to... rake leaves of all things. Yes, it must be done now. But thanks for this, Doug. I had no idea it was what I needed when I woke up this morning.
	♥ 10:49am StringOFperils: WE are all still here today. Let's be thankful. And let's be watchful.
	♥ 10:50am Doug Schulkind: RAKING leaves is a big job, Listener Gregory. Don't BLOW it.
	♥ 10:51am Rich in Washington: Ronald Reagan and the Prophecy of Armageddon, originally broadcast on WBIA. I paid a mint to have it digitized from Pacifica Archives (or rather, the person in charge of archives pulled it out of a collection and charged me a mint for it).
	♥ 10:51am Webhamster Henry: @Rich you're lucky WBAI didn't erase it! They were often scrounging for tape.
	♥ 10:52am Doug Schulkind: @Rich in Washington I listened contemporaneously to every minute of Ronald Reagan and the Prophecy of Armageddon. Fucking terrifying.
	🥁 ♥ 10:54am Jeff Golick: @Doug: Stacey Abrams herself is offering thanks to those orgs above and others. twitter.com...
	♥ 10:55am Franco Twinkie: Most people didn't have the displeasure of watching Ronald Reagan build his arsenal like us folks out in California. When he displaced Pat brown as governor, we knew we were in for a hosing. But of course lots of people loved what he had to say! To be a tyrant you need an army behind you, as was demonstrated this past Tuesday. Trump is a living nightmare, but to a lot of people he is a dream come true.
	♥ 10:58am TDK60: Franco, lefties were paying attention to Raygun way back in the '60s. Ya know, Black Panthers, Brown Berets, etc. standing up to him as Calif. gov.
	♥ 10:58am Rich in Washington: I want to find that late 70s SNL skit where one by one people were turning into Reaganites - a parody of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It was both funny and eerily prescient.
	11:03am Marie: @Franco--well said!
	11:05am Marie: When I can, I'm going to go out on my street and start whooping it up
	♥ 11:06am Doug Schulkind: I purchased this album at a campaign rally in Brooklyn for Jesse Jackson in 1988. Unknown to me, my future wife (also named Jessie) was at that same rally and also purchase a copy of this fundraising campaign recording. We may be the only house in a America with TWO COPIES of "Jump For Jessie."
	11:06am thedunkel: Good morning Mr. Drummer! Good morning all! Thank for playing all these speeches today, need it more than ever.
	♥ 11:06am Webhamster Henry: I gave a "Jesse Jackson for President" record to Irwin a few years ago, but it wasn't this tune.
	11:07am Marie: What a neat story, Doug. Sounds like fate that you 2 are together
	♥ 11:07am Doug Schulkind: Jump for thedunkel!
	♥ 11:07am StringOFperils: I know I'm off-world, and probably should avoid the indelicacy of weighing in on this stuff, but I AM looking forward to his orangeness being indicted on a range of charges when all of this is ironed out a bit more.
	🥁 ♥ 11:08am Uncle Michael: Growing up in Chicago, I have a complicated view of Jesse Jackson.
	♥ 11:08am northguineahills: Doug has suddenly become Irwin. (he's a mighty sparrow fan). Off for an interview in my car, then to homeless shelter, at least I got dematological meds I need. (election is almost there!, I did my part, drove to Gainesville to vote).
	11:08am Marie: Amen, SoP! I want to see him in an orange jumpsuit in cuffs.
	♥ 11:09am Michael 98145: destroy all monsters
	🥁 ♥ 11:09am Maggie B.: Doug, remember this one? (Hope the link works...) ourstage.com...
	♥ 11:10am Doug Schulkind: @northguineahills I was digging Mighty Sparrow since before Irwin was born. (Not really.) I provided Irwin with a copy of this tune when he was trawling for Presidential theme music.
	♥ 11:10am Doug Schulkind: @Michael 9814 So many monsters.
	♥ 11:11am fred: @Doug: There was some talk about Obama here after his keynote speech, but he was totally unknown in France. My father asked me who the guy was, and I said he would be the first black president. That impressed him a lot what that came to pass
	11:11am Marie: Good luck, NGH. Hi.
	♥ 11:13am Franco Twinkie: Doug, thanks for playing Christo Redentor. One of my favorite late night records. Why? Because I'm an old person who remembers it from the prehistoric days of free form radio. Just like I remember Ronald Reagan throwing it down with the anti-war movement in Berkeley. The light, the dark the light, the dark.
	♥ 11:13am Doug Schulkind: @fred From your lips to Jah's ears!
	♥ 11:13am northguineahills: I have an interview via Zoom, I guess the library is my best bet (Senior GIS position in Seminole County).
	🥁 ♥ 11:14am Uncle Michael: Good luck, NGH!
	♥ 11:14am Doug Schulkind: Here is my playlist from November 7, 2008. The program that contained this Obama Celebration set: wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:17am Wendy del Formaggio: Has anyone seen the show "Soul!" that was produced out of Newark public television in the late-60s/early-70s? It's on the PBS/Ch.13 Passport streaming service. I mention it because it's really cool, and because Max Roach appears often in it.
	♥ 11:18am northguineahills: @Doug: I knew you were older then I, but not "irwin" older then I....
	11:18am Marie: Yes, NGH, the library. And if they ask about it you can lie and say you were having problems with your internet connection (unasked for advice)
	♥ 11:19am fred: @NGH: Fingers crossed while knocking on wood!
	♥ 11:20am Rich in Washington: I remember the office I was working at during Obama's inauguration, we were allowed to just drop working and watch it on TV. I had this rudimentary DJ/media rig in my office and made an ambient mix of channel flipping, mixed with the audio of Bush flying away on Air Force One's helicopter.
	11:20am rww: Good morning! Perfect selections as always. Thank you DS.
	♥ 11:20am Doug Schulkind: Way to make an entrnace, rww!
	11:21am rw: Huh. Too many w's. Sorry. It's early.
	♥ 11:21am Webhamster Henry: Currently, our library has moved their wifi routers near the walls so people can park outside with laptops/phones and snag the internet.
	♥ 11:21am TDK60: Yeh Franco, that Harvey Mandel album is good.
	♥ 11:22am Webhamster Henry: There were a whole lotta Obama songs!
	11:22am Really Lisa: Rich @10:58, fwiw, here's a page re the SNL episode, but can't find a vid clip. www.onesnladay.com...
	♥ 11:23am Doug Schulkind: True story: My first foray into politics was during the McGovern campaign in 1972. My sister and I went to campaign headquarters to do some envelope stuffing. The headquarters was in the Watergate Hotel. It was two weeks after the "plumbers" got caught breaking in. As my sister and I headed into the building a security guard said to us, with a chuckle, "You all better keep quiet, the place might be bugged."
	11:23am Marie: I did want to say that I am grateful for all the wonderful. strong, good-hearted people who do enter politics--you gotta be tough
	♥ 11:24am Doug Schulkind: @Webhamster Henry I have almost three hours worth of Obama songs. Rob Weisberg played a ton on the air back in 2008: wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:25am Rich in Washington: Thanks, Really Lisa! That's a start!
	♥ 11:26am Michael 98145: at last
	♥ 11:26am TDK60: Reuters and BBC still reporting Biden is in lead. A recount may happen in Georgia.
	♥ 11:26am Doug Schulkind: On Election Day in 2008, WFMU ran a separate special election webstream. Many DJs contributed hour-long programs to celebrate. I did a live show, playing an hour's worth of different versions of "A Change Is Gonna Come": wfmu.org...
	🥁 ♥ 11:27am Uncle Michael: After this epic program...at the top of the hour...join me for the usual Hinky Dinky Time silliness, won't you? wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:27am Doug Schulkind: Here come's Barack Obama's keynote address to the DNC in 2004.
	♥ 11:29am Doug Schulkind: He was echoing Barbara Jordan's opening right there.
	♥ 11:29am Michael 98145: seems so long ago
	♥ 11:30am Webhamster Henry: Irwin's election special Marathon CD from 2016 has lots of goodies on it!
	♥ 11:30am StringOFperils: @UM > Good old run-of-the-mill silliness is something to be treasured always.
	♥ 11:31am fred: I hope Pennsylvania doesn't come down to the segregated ballots that SCOTUS will throw out
	11:31am Marie: I think his story would also be possible in some other countries, like, Canada?
	♥ 11:32am Michael 98145: pride seems so long ago
	♥ 11:33am Franco Twinkie: I just hope that Joe Biden enlists Barak Obama as an advisor going forward.
	♥ 11:34am Doug Schulkind: We have more work to do. Get those motherfucking beautiful Democrats elected senator in Georgia. Volunteer to phonebank and textbank, etc. Send as much $$ as you possibly can.
	🥁 ♥ 11:35am Brian in UK: Heard barackobama talking in Florida. He still sounds as fluent as ever. He knew that he could only do so much in his eight years.
	♥ 11:36am northguineahills: tru dat, Brian.... (especially his second term).
	♥ 11:36am Doug Schulkind: @Brian in UK I should hope Obama is still fluent. He's younger than I am!
	♥ 11:36am Franco Twinkie: By the way, where is John Kerry?
	🥁 ♥ 11:37am Brian in UK: Doug and that is another point. How many people of both parties are in power and over Seventy. Young blood please apply.
	♥ 11:38am northguineahills: Obama's speech in Berlin was better then Kennedy's, IMHO....
	♥ 11:40am northguineahills: Could you imaginean Sec of State w/ the aptitude of Kerry today (mi diosas, gracias). (w/ this administration).
	♥ 11:40am Doug Schulkind: If only it were so, Mr. Obama.
	♥ 11:41am northguineahills: (I heard Obama's Philly speech).
	🥁 ♥ 11:41am Brian in UK: Doug, glad you found a path to create this programme.
	11:42am Marie: I thought John Kerry was great. Remember the swift boaters? (sorry to bring that ugliness up)
	♥ 11:42am Doug Schulkind: @northguineahills Obama's speech on Race in Philadelphia was historic. The speech was given, in part, to flush the news cycle that was rampaging over his comments about Pennsylvanians bitterly clinging to their guns and religion.
	♥ 11:43am fred: This speech painfully shows the steep decline in presidential rhetoric ability (among many things) since then, even though he wasn't president back then
	11:43am Marie: Amen!
	🥁 ♥ 11:44am Brian in UK: Esperanza.
	🥁 ♥ 11:44am Hopey Sockmonkey: Obama sounds so young here. It's making me teary-eyed.
	♥ 11:45am Doug Schulkind: I just learned this. Apparently, Georgia has no residency requirements in order to register to vote. If you can, MOVE TO FRICKIN GEORGIA. New people can register to vote up to December 7 to vote in the run-off elections for the two senate races.
	♥ 11:45am alanr: Hurray for neo-liberalism? yuckee
	♥ 11:47am Doug Schulkind: Campaign rally for Uncle Michael assembles right here: wfmu.org... Vote Hinky!
	🥁 ♥ 11:47am chresti: Aww... a favorite Burning Spear!
	♥ 11:48am Wendy del Formaggio: What alanr said.
	♥ 11:48am northguineahills: @Doug: I saw that today! (Look at Savannah or Atlanta)
	♥ 11:49am northguineahills: I always rally for UM!
	♥ 11:49am fred: I wouldn't mind AOC replacing Schumer in two years, but I guess that would be too much of a long shot
	♥ 11:50am TDK60: Thanks Doug. Good weekend, all.
	🥁 ♥ 11:51am chresti: Thank you Doug!
	♥ 11:52am Doug Schulkind: @fred Not a long shot, as far as I can tell. She won't replace Schumer as the highest-ranking Democrat in the senate, but she could replace him in the senate. That would be a brilliant thing.
	♥ 11:53am Wendy del Formaggio: What Doug said (about AOC)! Right on!
	🥁 ♥ 11:53am Jeff Golick: Thanks, Doug.
	♥ 11:53am Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks for a fabulous show, Doug. Sending love and appreciation your way.
	♥ 11:54am Doug Schulkind: This Steinski number wasn't part of my celebration show back then. This Rev. Joseph Lowery speech was delivered at Obama's first inauguration about seven weeks after the show happened!!
	♥ 11:54am northguineahills: what fred said....
	♥ 11:54am Doug Schulkind: Love to you and yours, dear Wendy!
	🥁 ♥ 11:54am Uncle Michael: Thanks for this monumental show, Doug.
	♥ 11:55am Doug Schulkind: Love you, Michael. Thanks.
	🥁 ♥ 11:55am dutchtheo: Thanks, Doug! Happy day!
	11:55am Marie: I second UM's comment and fully support UM
	♥ 11:56am northguineahills: Amen (so be it, original Hebrew)!.
	11:57am Really Lisa: Thank you, Doug! 🙌💕
	♥ 11:57am northguineahills: Will listen in the car, UM!
	🥁 ♥ 11:57am Uncle Michael: Thanks, NGH.
	♥ 11:57am northguineahills: Needed this. Doug, for my razzled nerves. Gracias!
	♥ 11:57am Doug Schulkind: Bless you all. Thank you so much for sticking it out with me. I had a lot to get off my chest.
	♥ 11:58am StringOFperils: Thank you Doug. And thanks for fighting the good fight down there folks. Wish it was all an ad hominem problem, this burning world, but you just helped us all take a giant step in a better direction. Thank you.
	🥁 ♥ 11:58am Brian in UK: Thank you Mr DJ.
	11:59am rw: Thank you Doug!! Like fred, I still have my fingers crossed, but feeling pretty good.
	♥ 11:59am Franco Twinkie: Thanks Doug for reminded us of all the fire that use to burn.
	12:01pm jessie: Yes we can!
	♥ 12:02pm Doug Schulkind: Jumping for you, Jessie!
	♥ 12:03pm Doug Schulkind: Burn, baby, burn, Franco Twinkie!!!
	♥ 12:03pm Doug Schulkind: Me, too, rw. Me, too.
