I'm Jonathan Kapard. Welcome to Cape Up.

It's time for our six month check-in with Michael Steele, former chairman of the Republican

National Committee. We talked about what he thought the press should say to

President Trump at his daily rally from the White House.

Mr President, this is my last day on the job.

You are full of shit.

What he has to say to those protesting stay-at-home orders...

I gotta go walk on the beach.

No, you don't.

Sit your ass at home. You know go

grab some dirt out of the backyard and color yellow and call it sand if you want.

I mean, seriously, stop it. And we talk about how Trump has treated the nation

during the coronavirus pandemic. And I think America in some respects has been abused by this president.

He doesn't give a damn about how you feel. It doesn't.

Hear how Michael Steele really feels in this episode that contains explicit language and

listener discretion is advised right now.
