>>> THIS IS DAILY BLAST LIVE 
AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WHAT 
YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. 
REAL, HONEST, ENTERTAINING, 
LIVE. 
DBL STARTS RIGHT NOW.  
>>> STRONG GOOD EYE CONTACT, 
WELCOME TO DBL AND IT IS 
FRIDAY.  
I NEEDED THAT. 
>> WITH ERICA AND BRANDON IS 
JOINING US FROM HOME. 
WHAT'S GOING ON BRANDON? 
HOW ARE YOU FEELING? 
>> IT IS GOOD TO BE ON THE SHOW 
AND I LOVE THE ENERGY. 
LET'S HAVE A GREAT SHOW AND 
LEAVE THESE PEOPLE IN TO THE 
WEEKEND. 
>> WE SHALL LEAD. 
>>> LET'S GET STARTED AND TALK 
ABOUT THE BIG LABOR DAY HOLIDAY 
WEEKEND. 
THAT PANDEMIC IS CHANGING 
EVERYTHING. 
WHILE PEOPLE ARE EXPECTED TO 
HIT THE ROAD TO FAMILY GET-
TOGETHERS IT WILL BE FAR LESS 
THAN USUAL. 
HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE STRESSING 
THE IMPORTANCE OF PERSONAL 
RESPONSIBILITY IN THE HOPE OF 
PREVENTING A THIRD WAVE OF 
INFECTIONS THIS FALL. 
HERE IS WHAT THE SURGEON 
GENERAL SAID ABOUT A THIS 
MORNING. 
>> I AM VERY CONCERNED WHEN YOU 
LOOK AT MEMORIAL DAY AND JULY 4 
AND WE HIT A PEAK IN THIS 
COUNTRY ON JULY 24, ABOUT 2-3 
WEEKS AFTER THE FOURTH OF JULY. 
WE KNOW THAT DURING THESE 
HOLIDAYS PEOPLE COME TOGETHER 
AND THAT SETS US UP FOR THE 
SPREAD OF A HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS 
DISEASE. 
WE HAVE FLU SEASON COMING UP 
AND KIDS GOING BACK TO SCHOOL 
AND WE DON'T WANT TO START 
BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL. 
SO WASH YOUR HANDS, WATCH YOUR 
DISTANCE AND STAYED SIX FEET 
FROM PEOPLE, AND WEAR A MASK 
WHEN YOU ARE OUT IN PUBLIC. 
>> WILL THIS WORK? ERIKA? 
>> YOU KNOW I THINK WE HAVE 
GOTTEN TO THE PORTION OF THE 
PROGRAM WHERE PEOPLE ARE READY 
TO RISK IT ALL FOR THE ABILITY 
TO DO AS THEY POLICE. 
I SINCERELY HOPE THE MAJORITY 
OF AMERICANS WILL FOLLOW 
PROTOCOL BECAUSE THE IDEA THAT 
SO MANY STUDENTS ARE BACK IN 
SCHOOL AND HOW EGREGIOUSLY THIS 
COULD SPREAD THROUGH SCHOOL AND 
GOING HOME IS HORRIFYING. 
I REALLY HOPE THAT PEOPLE ARE 
GETTING THE MEMO AND IT WILL 
NOT BE A REPEAT OF MEMORIAL 
DAY. 
>> BRANDON IN YOUR WILDEST 
DREAMS WILL WE BE BETTER THAN 
WE WAS FOR MEMORIAL DAY AND 
JULY 4? 
>> NO, I DON'T THINK SO. 
ERICA IS RIGHT. 
PEOPLE ARE OKAY RISKING IT TO 
HAVE FUN AND GO OUT AND LIVE 
THEIR LIFE NOW. 
WE DID THE LOCKDOWN THING AND 
THE QUARANTINE THING AND WE DID 
THE FIRST THREE PHASES. 
PEOPLE SAY IT IS EITHER ON THE 
GOVERNMENT OR THE BIOLOGIST TO 
COME UP WITH SOMETHING SO WE 
CAN GO BACK TO LIVING A TRUE 
NORMAL LIFE. 
I WILL NOT BE TRAVELING THIS 
WEEKEND BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL 
LIKE I'M READY TO DO ALL THAT. 
>> I AM NOT EITHER AND REMEMBER 
IN MY OPINION IT IS THE 
PATRIOTIC THING TO DO TO WEAR A 
MASK FOR YOUR FELLOW AMERICANS. 
>>> OVERNIGHT OFFICIALS KILLED 
A MAN SUSPECTED IN THE STUDIO 
DEATH OF A PRO-TRUMP SUPPORTERS 
IN PORTLAND LAST WEEKEND. 
WE ARE GOING TO TAKE YOU TO THE 
STORY. 
A FEDERAL TASK FORCE WAS TRYING 
TO ARREST THIS MAN, MICHAEL 
ROURKE -- FOREST. 
HE PULLED A GUN UNDER THE 
COUNTER AND THEN WAS SHOT AND 
KILLED BY AUTHORITIES. 
HE WAS SUSPECTED OF KILLING 
THIS MAN, DARREN DANIELSON, A 
SUPPORTER OF A RIGHT WEARING -- 
RIGHT-WING GROUP KNOWN AS 
PATRIOT CHAIR. 
HE CLAIMS HE ACTUALLY SHOT HIM 
IN SELF-DEFENSE. 
SO LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. 
>> LAWYERS ARE SAYING I SHOULD 
NOT SAY ANYTHING BUT I FEEL IT 
IS IMPORTANT THAT THE WORLD 
WILL GET A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT 
IS REALLY GOING ON. 
I OF SAT THERE AND WATCHED HIM 
KILL A FRIEND OF MINE OF COLOR 
AND I WAS NOT GOING TO DO THAT. 
IF I WAS NOT ACTIVE I AM 
CONFIDENT THAT MY FRIEND AND I 
WOULD HAVE BEEN KEELED. 
I WAS EITHER GOING TO STAND 
THERE AND LET IT HAPPEN. 
>> APPARENTLY THERE WAS SOME 
GRABBING TOWARD A WEAPON AND 
ALLEGEDLY SOME MACE WAS SPRAYED.
WHEN WILL THE SITUATION SORT OF 
STOP BECAUSE WE ARE GETTING 
NEWS OF THIS EVERY SINGLE DAY. 
>> I'M GOING TO BE HONEST AND I 
HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR THE PAST 
THREE YEARS THERE IS A 
CONTINGENCY OF PEOPLE THAT IS 
LOBBYING FOR NOT ONLY A RACE 
WAR WARS BETWEEN POLITICAL 
SCIENCE. 
IT HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY MORE 
VIOLENT. 
UNTIL SOMEONE TAKES CHARGE AND 
I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE A LITTLE 
BIT OF LAW AND ORDER HERE 
BECAUSE THIS WILL NOT GET 
BETTER BEFORE IT GETS WORSE. 
>> I AGREE WITH THIS. 
I CANNOT BELIEVE WE ARE LOOKING 
AT AMERICA. 
BRANDON, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS 
ON THE SITUATION AND WHAT YOU 
THINK WILL DEFUSE THE SITUATION?
DO WE NEED FEDERAL GUARDS TO 
COME IN AT THIS POINT? 
>> WE ARE PAST DEFUSING THIS. 
I DON'T THINK THERE IS DEFUSING 
THIS. 
THERE IS RACE WARS AND 
POLITICAL WARS AND CLASSES, AND 
RIGHT NOW WE CANNOT SEEM TO 
AGREE ON ANYTHING WHEN IT COMES 
TO THIS COUNTRY. 
MY MOTHER SHE FOLLOWS AND 
TRACKS ALL WHITE WING 
EXTREMISTS AND LEFT-WING AND 
SHE HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS 
FOR QUITE SOME TIME ABOUT HOW 
SOMETHING BIG IS GOING TO 
HAPPEN. 
MAYBE NOT A CIVIL WAR AND JUST 
THINK AGO FUNDY WAS SET UP FOR 
OVER $100,000 FOR KYLE 
RITTENHOUSE WITH HIM BEING 
ARRESTED. 
THIS GUY IS DOING TELEVISION 
INTERVIEWS AND I LOOK AT IT HOW 
PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THE MASS 
MURDERS AND WHEN WHAT PEOPLE 
SEES A MASS MURDER HOW THEY 
WANT TO COPYCAT AND NOW THEY 
WANT TO DO THAT. 
WE HAVEN'T HAD THE SCHOOL 
SHOOTINGS ARE THE MASS 
SHOOTINGS IN A LONG TIME AND I 
THINK THIS IS ANOTHER WAY FOR A 
PATRIOT OR EXTREME LEFTISTS OR 
WHATEVER THEY CALL THEMSELVES 
TO GET THE NOTORIETY THAT THEY 
WANT TO GET AND SEE, BUT ALSO 
STICKING IT TO THE OTHER SIDE. 
STICKING IT TO THE OTHER SIDE 
INSTEAD OF EATING THEM WITH 
FACTS ARE DOING SOMETHING TO 
HEAL THE COMMUNITY IS TAKING 
SOMEONE'S LIFE. 
>> EVERYDAY I FEEL LIKE WE ARE 
DOING ANOTHER STORY ABOUT IT. 
IF YOU ARE IN THAT AREA PLEASE 
LET US KNOW AS THE FIRST-HAND 
SOURCES
