Opening Monologues. You Ain't Black. Says Joe Biden, to any black person who might decide not to vote for Joe Biden. Yikes. The very height of reflexive race paternalism now on display, courtesy of the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. We review Biden's latest campaign disaster, from the original statement to the strong reactions to Biden's belated apology. With Democrats already fretting about Trump's increasing popularity in the black community, this current controversy marks another big step backwards for Team Biden. Meanwhile, a radio debate develops about the utility of the "turnip" in the family garden. Host comes down hard against turnips, engages in some turnip-bashing, but is surprised by listener consensus in solid favor of this preposterous root vegetable. Plus, honoring Memorial Day. With Listener Calls & Music via Zac Brown, Sza, Calvin Harris and Johnny Cash.
