The Pete Kaliner Show

I joined KC O'Dea on Friday morning to discuss his recent interview with WRAL's reporter Travis Fain, as well as the way NC media covers certain stories. Plus, I am now becoming more convinced that Gov. Roy Cooper must've been beaten up by a gym rat at a bar in his youth.

Democrats in Western North Carolina want Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-11) to be punished and leave office for telling attendees at an event last month to: "Call your congressman and feel free, you can lightly threaten them and say, you know what, if you don't start supporting election integrity, I'm coming after you, Madison Cawthorn is coming after you, everybody's coming after you."
