Summary
WBT Charlotte host TJ Ritchie used a two-hour show to focus on four topics: Rep. Jasmine Crockett, the Karmelo Anthony-Austin Metcalf case, a petition targeting Hunter Metcalf, and Graham Platner’s Maine Senate primary victory.
Hour 1 centered on Crockett, with Ritchie airing clips of her saying Black women live in agony and arguing Anthony should have received mercy, then adding his own breakdown of the Anthony-Metcalf confrontation.
Hour 2 shifted to a petition demanding Hunter Metcalf’s arrest for allegedly taking part in an assault on Anthony, extending the show’s focus on fallout from that case.
Ritchie also highlighted Platner’s primary win in Maine and returned to Crockett by discussing a clip in which she insulted Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece.
The episode fit the show’s usual mix of politics, culture and listener callouts, with Ritchie repeatedly responding to critical text-line messages.
