Will Trump take-over for Rush Limbaugh?   

By Talk Show Expert Holland Cooke BLOCK ISLAND, RI — Legend has it that – while he was willingly nudged-into running for president in 2000 – Governor George W. Bush really wanted to be commissioner of Major League Baseball. And in his book, For the Good of the Game, Bud Selig reckons, "Had things been different, he could have been the ninth commissioner, not me"

"He and I talked about it"

Selig, who then owned the Milwaukee Brewers, admits "I told him at the time that I didn't want to be commissioner, and I really didn't. George would have done a great job. He had a great personality and he loved the game" But then a funny thing happened in Florida.

Fast-forward to Election Night 2016. Shortly after polls closed at 8:00 pm, Don Jr. is quoted as saying his father "looked as if he had seen a ghost. Melania was in tears — and not of joy" And Steve Bannon said he saw Trump morph from "a disbelieving Trump and then into a horrified Trump"

Roger Ailes: If you want a career in television, first run for president.

"I can be the most famous man in the world," Trump told aide Sam Nunberg at the outset of the race. Encouraged by Ailes, The Donald was floating rumors about a Trump network. He would come out of this campaign, Trump assured Ailes, "with a far more powerful brand"

Had Mrs. Clinton courted voters in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, The Trump Show might be on the air now. But stay tuned…

Back to the Future: 2020 is "a referendum on Trump"

We know Edison Research as an authority on audio listening. Their prescient ongoing "Infinite Dial" survey steers broadcasters as listeners' consumption habits change. And (nonpartisan) Edison is also THE exit poll-taker to the networks.

Edison president Larry Rosin just released "Portents for November," based on 37,001 voter interviews, from the Iowa Caucus through March 17. Among his conclusions:

"The uniting force within the Democratic primary electorate is anger with Donald Trump"

• "Like most presidential elections with an incumbent on the ballot, the race will tend to be more about that incumbent"

• "The Democrats appear largely to be unified around their candidate"

• With pandemic disruption tempting The Gipper's old maxim "Are you better off than you were 4 years ago?" – and with "numbers guy" Trump seeing Approval/Disapproval scores as the daily briefing takes on his arena rally tone — WHAT IF… "Trump Wanted a Radio Show, but He Didn't Want to Compete With Limbaugh"

Lotsa buzz about the New York Times report that "on a Saturday in early March, Donald J. Trump, clad in a baseball cap, strode into the Situation Room for a meeting with the coronavirus task force. He didn't stop by the group's daily meetings often, but he had an idea he was eager to share: He wanted to start a White House talk radio show"

To-which El Rushbo quickly quipped: "We're always looking for guest hosts here. If the president wants to guest host this program one day, we'd be happy to run an audition"

With affiliates I hear from asking so anxiously "Who takes over when…?" – and with Coronavirus surge data grading the administration's early response – it's worth a shot.

Nine Crisis Management Lessons to Learn from the Decisions by States to Reopen Their Economies

Crisis management expert and author Edward Segal, writing in an article posted today on CommPro.biz, said decisions by state governments about reopening their economies in the middle of the pandemic provide nine important lessons on the best and worst ways for companies and organizations to recover from this or any crisis.

Segal said the lessons include knowing the full scope of the crisis, confirming the crisis is over, ensuring the crisis does not return, having the right priorities, and being careful when making forecasts and projections. The article is available at https://www.commpro.biz/right-and-wrong-ways-to-recover-from-the-coronavirus-crisis/

He said the decision by some states to begin reopening their economies "appears to be based more on hope than science — and could lead to the further spread of COVID-19. Adding to the pressure to return to normal, some workers have staged protests, insisting their governments restart their economies or rescind social distancing mandates. That's like hospital patients demanding to go home after a major operation before doctors say it is prudent and safe for them to be released"

Segal observed that, "In any crisis, it is important to get back to normal as soon as it is appropriate to do so. In this national public health emergency, people must truly believe it is safe again to leave their homes before they will be confident about going back to work or to their favorite restaurants and stores — no matter how many 'we're open for business' signs they might see"

Guidelines for Advertising and Marketing in the COVID-19 Era

Research on the emotional impact of COVID-19 http://www.newsreleasewire.com/229963) suggests a number of guidelines for engaging your customers and for overall positioning of your products and services:

Don't stop your digital and advertising content, even if doesn't look as professional as usual. Your brand needs to be top-of-mind positively and authentically.

• Consumers are looking for comfort and to be nurtured. Your marketing messaging needs to feel like "comfort food" -- warm an loving.

• Consumers want authenticity. They want to know that you care about them and their families and how you are being socially responsible.

• They are looking for safety and reality. The world they knew has been turned asunder. If they are digitally purchasing from you or using your brand for business and personal connectivity, they want to know that you have taken every possible measure to secure their digital connections and online communities.

• Consumers are very concerned about their health and the health of loved ones. If you can authentically do it, help consumers believe that they can reach that uncharted, better future with the people they love. Help them stay healthy.

• Use this opportunity to foster community through your marketing and messaging. Consumers are desperate for belonging and the security that community provides.

Will You Be the Next COVID-19 Victim? It's not always physical, but it is always mental

Ten Things You Can Do

1. Maintain a daily/weekly routine. Life still goes on. You have responsibilities and chores to be done, so keep to it. You may need to tweak some things, so find out how to incorporate those changes and keep going.

2. Get enough sleep. If there's one thing that can act as a "medication" for anxiety, depression and a feeling of exhaustion, it's sleep. Researchers, therapists and primary care physicians have all to come to the realization that sleep is essential for good physical and mental health.

3. Keep your social contacts active. You may not be able to visit in person, but virtual visits, chats and phone calls will take the place and can be a great way to lift your spirits.

4.Phone your friends and family. Talking on the phone had almost become a lost art in our technology-centered world but hearing the voice of someone we love or whose company we enjoy is better than cold type on a monitor or cell screen.

5. Record a message from that person that both of you find uplifting and play it whenever you need a bit of re-energizing.

6. Eat a healthy diet. Stress can lead to binge eating of foods that are high in carbohydrates because they convert into substances that lift our mood, but they also cause weight gain and problems in blood pressure. You don't need any of that. Make mealtime a little special if that helps, so put candles on the table, use a tablecloth and do whatever makes it more festive and relaxing.

7. Give yourself a timeout. We usually think of timeouts as a way to let kids know their behavior was unacceptable, but you need a timeout to kick back, read a book, watch a funny movie or watch the clouds go by.

8.Exercise. When I say exercise, I am not talking about lifting weights or running a marathon. Exercise can be as simple as walking up and down stairs a few times (get a pedometer), getting exercise bands to do sets in front of the TV with someone or a friend on a video chat. We know exercise keeps the body tuned for health and acts to lessen stress and anxiety. Do it for you.

9. Learn something new. Stretch your mind with a free online course and explore your hidden talents.

10. Ask for and accept help when you need it. No, it's not a weakness but a display of striving to maintain strength. People are there to help. Let them help when you need it.

We'll get through this with a few changes and a determination to be healthy both physically and mentally. You can do it.

Unprecedented in World History: Oil prices could soon turn NEGATIVE! No Storage means PAYING to Take it Away!

Commenting on this unprecedented event as it unfolds is economist Jack Hanney, CEO of Patriot Gold Group.

Q&A: It seems like just yesterday when oil prices were sky high and there were thousands of news reports of oil shortages, but in the sudden coronavirus era when few people are driving cars, oil is about to do the unimaginable: Going negative. Tell us about that.

Goldman Sachs analysts say landlocked crude prices will be negative.

Global storage is likely to reach maximum capacity in a matter of weeks. What on earth will oil companies do—isn't there some way of turning off the spigot of those oil wells?

Without our being on a gold standard, isn't this 'free' money just watering down the current money supply?

Instead of showing down oil supply to raise prices, OPEC execs in Saudi Arabia promise to increase oil output to a record high. Have they lost their ever-loving minds?

What other economic 'laws of unintended consequences' do you see occurring due to drastic measures being imposed by governments on billions of people?

But oil prices aren't the only thing going down in value. The more money the Fed prints, the less the dollar is worth, right?

They are talking about trillions of dollars more in stimulus, meaning printing even more money. If we cross that invisible line of too much, what might we looking at soon in the form of inflation or even hyperinflation? How much more can government water down money before it becomes worth less—or worthless?

Can you give some examples of hyperinflation and what that looked like historically elsewhere?

What protection do we have against inflation eating away at the money we receive from the stimulus relief?

Where may we receive more information on these matters and proper investing? Reference article: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/01/coronavirus-oil-prices-could-turn-negative-as-storage-nears-capacity.html

Homeschooling During Coronavirus: Teaching Your Kids To Learn

Kinda On Your Own? You Can Do This!

If you're not getting much help from your kids' educational institutions, that puts more work on you, but know you can handle it and don't beat yourself up if things don't go according to plan every day. It's more important that kids know you care and you're there for them and you're trying than to retain a few extra facts throughout a given day.

Here are some flexible strategies to help your kids keep learning even during this stressful time:

Get Scheduled: Creating and sticking to a set routine is critical. Work it up with your students, review and revise daily. Don't overschedule and flexibility is your friend.

Work Together: Time work and play activities at the same time as your kids so they don't feel like they're being ignored, but don't forget to give each other space, as well.

Manage Screen Time: A video is fine, a few videos are fine, hours worth of random YouTube videos? Not fine. Find the middle ground!

Take Breaks: Get outside as much as possible. It's a game changer for a cooped up family. Sometimes chores can feel like taking a break: doing some laundry or cooking with your child or just one of multiple children can turn into solid bonding time.

Be Healthy: This can be difficult with schedules so disrupted, but all of this enforced down time also gives parents some extra time to spend learning about nutrition, exercise and sleep. It's an important time to keep the family's collective immune system at a high level and sleep is an important part of that. You Need To Do You: Take some time to yourself, pieces of enforced downtime for everyone in the family. This will help siblings get a break from each other and will hopefully give you those moments of family you so need and deserve

The Dow Jones Industrial Average in Summer Months

The stock market's most favorable six-month period is coming to an end, and unfortunately, there's not much to show for it.

The six-month pattern, known by both the "Halloween Indicator" and the market mantra to "Sell in May and Go Away", is based on the historical tendency of the market to produce its highest returns during the predominantly winter months and lower average returns during the summer months. Further, in summers following losing winter periods, the returns are not just lower but, on average, negative. In presidential election years (like 2020), the effect isn't very pronounced, yet still slightly negative.

International Stop Plastic Pollution

My obsession is plastic packaging. It makes me sick, all the waste. Everything about it disappoints me. Theo James, Four Eaton UK

The production of plastic is polluting our cities, country, rivers and oceans and causing the death of thousands of animals and birds. This has to stop. Every single living creature on this planet has microplastic material in our bodies. Plastic litters our shorelines and countryside. Remove the plastic and our lives will be enriched. Barrie Lloyd, Guildford England UK

Whales, dolphins and fish are injured and killed by large heavy plastic waste, or by plastic "masquerading" as food. Plastic waste in the Ocean does not respect national boundaries. It moves with the ebb and flow, all over the world. It is abraded, like pebbles into smaller and smaller pieces until bivalves and fish eat the microplastics. If we eat fish, we are surely eating microplastics too. Every positive action to reduce plastic pollution is a step in the right direction. Whatever our nationality we are all in this together as concerned citizens of the world, of Planet Earth. Margaret Beasley, London UK

On the face of it there is a pristine white sandy beach, but within an hour, around 100 of us can collect up to 250-300 kilos of rubbish. It's mostly bits of plastic, fishing line, nylon, bottle caps. We've found everything. Ben Fogle, London UK

I hate the hand that comes out of a car and just drops litter in the street. I hate that! For some reason, it just fills me with fury! It's just utter laziness, lack of interest in other people, lack of interest in the planet, in the hedgehog who might eat the plastic bag, it's a lack of concern. Joanna Lumley, London UK

I'll tell you what me scares me is plastic. Plastic bags and plastic bottles and these things. Why does my water have to be in a bloody plastic bottle? The landfill and the ocean. And I don't know, I'm just terrified with the proliferation of plastic. Helen Mirren, London, UK

I get in a temper with inanimate objects. I can't bear plastic. I do get in a complete rage with something that's been shrink-wrapped. Sandi Toksvig, London UK
