Pete started the show going right to the tail end of the Andrew Cuomo press conference where he announced his resignation. All Pete could do was laugh at the charade because eventually the press conference and the excuses Cuomo gave for groping women were Italian stereotypes. Pete said it was NOT a good look for Cuomo at all. Pete also talked about the lack of success both New York and North Carolina government officials have had in actually staying in office. He wrapped the hour talking about the Charlotte City Council vote last night on nondiscrimination ordinance and how it tried to distance itself from the HB2 law from several years back. Pete started the 1pm hour with concerns over how the NDO will actually be enforced. He also warned people that people are going to use this new ordinance for political agendas just like HB2 was. Pete then talked about the lack of protection in the NDO for political party protection - citing that technically a business can fire you for going to a Trump rally OR a BLM protest. We played back Mark Garrison's question to Vi Lyles today about the infamous case of the cake owner refusing to make a cake for a gay wedding, and asked if there was similar protection for situations like that in this NDO. Lyles could not provide an answer to Garrison and Pete took her to task. To start the 2pm hour, Pete talked about the US' plans to pull out of Afghanistan and the concerns lately about the Taliban taking back key cities in the country. He then talked about House Bill 805 in North Carolina that would raise penalties for those caught rioting. That prompted a listener to call who brought up the police tactics the Mecklenburg County Police Department used on protestors on 4th and Tryon several months back.
