Hello and welcome to the Daily Beans for Wednesday, September 2, 2020. Today, Joe Biden and

Kamala Harris shatter the record for the most money raised in a month. We hear arguments in the Manhattan District Attorney's

subpoena of Mazar's in the second circuit. Trump compares the attempted murder of Jacob Blake to missing a putt in golf.

The Department of Health and Human Services bids $250 million for a communications contract to spin the message on COVID.

Barr removes a 20-year career national security official in the replacement raises questions.

Barr orders more changes in the FBI surveillance under FISA and Elliott Brody is about to be indicted. I'm your host, A.G.

We have a great show lined up for you today. First, we heard arguments in the second circuit about the Mazar's grand jury subpoena and whether or not they would grant us stay.

I will discuss that and their decision with the host of the on topic podcast and former US Attorney Renato Marriotti later in the show.

I will be joined by comedian and activist. She has raised over $30 million for incredible causes. Her name is Dana Goldberg and she's amazing. She's going to join me for the Good News block.

I'm very excited to welcome her to the show. She'll be here on Tuesdays with us. I am firing up the fantasy indictment league music today.

It's going to get old school. We're going to go OG in this joint. We have a lot of news to get to. Let's hit the hot notes.

Hot notes.

Okay, so the lead story today is a good news story and I can't express how proud I am of us for this one from the New York Times.

Joe and Kamala are expected to report a record breaking haul of donations for August raising more than $300 million between his campaign and his shared committees with the Democratic party.

This is according to two people familiar with the matter.

The sum would shatter past monthly records as small donors have poured money into Biden's coffers, especially since the selection of Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate.

In a sign of the financial momentum behind the Democrats act blue. That's the main site that processes donations to the party has reported the second biggest fundraising day in history on Monday with more than $35 million donated.

A majority of Mr. Biden's August total came from online grassroots donors, grassroots donors. Y'all this is according to a person familiar with the figures.

The people familiar with Biden's fundraising did not know the exact final figure on the month for August or how much higher than 300 million it would be.

This sum laps what is believed to be the previous monthly record of $193 million set by Barack Obama in September of 2008, though there is no formal record keeping on this.

I want to thank everyone who has donated and contributed just like every vote matters, every dollar matters.
