If Trump rallies in Tulsa and no one attends, does it still make a sound? Maybe holding an indoor rally in a smaller-sized city in the middle of a viral pandemic isn’t the best way to turn out a million people. And yet, somehow the media coverage has been even worse. The Black Lives Matter protests didn’t lead to a spike in COVID outbreaks, but a Trump rally of 7,000 people definitely will? Pick a lane, people. Speaking of the media, how on Earth has CNN continued to allow Gov. Andrew Cuomo to be interviewed fawningly by his brother Chris when Andrew’s state’s as seen more COVID deaths than Florida, which has a larger population? Just over four months until Election Day and it’s not looking good for President Trump. Eric and Joe break down the latest polling data. Baseball is returning! And yet, somehow, discussion of the most vulnerable people in the ballpark is glossed over because they’re lumped into the ownership side of the conversation, and everyone just hates billionaires apparently. Some prominent conservatives are ditching Facebook and Twitter for something called Parler. But not before talking about it endlessly on Facebook and Twitter. And then hanging around those social media platforms endlessly. And finally, Sonic surprises as one of the most popular fast food restaurants during the pandemic. But how the heck was McDonalds more popular in California when they have In-and-Out!?!
