The Holler welcomes authors Belle Boggs and Sylvester Allen Jr. to discuss the life and legacy of Wyatt Outlaw, the first African American to serve as Town Commissioner and Constable of Graham, North Carolina. Outlaw was lynched by the White Brotherhood, a branch of the Ku Klux Klan, on February 26, 1870. Belle and Sylvester explore the role of the Union League, the enduring impact of racial violence, and how history continues to shape the present. They also share the inspirations behind their work and the power of storytelling in bringing local history to life, highlighting the importance of community-driven activism and education in building a more just future.
On the Season 4 premiere of the NC State Philanthropy Podcast, we're joined by Belle Boggs, a professor of English in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, University Faculty Scholar and former director of NC State's Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program, to discuss how private support powers the program forward. The creative writing program is a two-year, fully-funded program consisting of workshops, interdisciplinary coursework and a final thesis of literary work. Distinguished by the one-on-one attention students receive from our faculty poets and writers, the program offers a strong, supportive start to a creative life in words. The program is a small one, accepting about a dozen students each year, with six or seven students in fiction and another six or seven in poetry. It also offers full funding in the form of a graduate teaching assistantship to all eligible admitted applicants. Private support enables the program to go above and beyond what state funding provides, as this interview highlights, with the results helping NC State students and people all across North Carolina. An especially transformative, $1 million gift was made to the program in 2021 by the Tony Brown family; not only was it incredibly generous, it was also the largest gift ever received by a humanities department at NC State and one of the largest funded endowments in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- Secret Service Wanted to Destroy White House Cocaine: Susan Crabtree of RealClearPolitics writes: “Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle and others in top agency leadership positions wanted to destroy the cocaine discovered in the White House last summer, but the Secret Service Forensics Services Division and the Uniformed Division stood firm and rejected the push to dispose of the evidence, according to three sources in the Secret Service community. Multiple heated confrontations and disagreements over how best to handle the cocaine ensued after a Secret Services Uniformed Division officer found the bag on July 2, 2023, a quiet Sunday while President Biden and his family were at Camp David in Maryland, the sources said.” You can read the full article here: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2024/08/05/former_secret_service_chief_wanted_to_destroy_cocaine_evidence_151392.html 4:30pm- Wendi Strauch Mahoney—Investigative Journalist at Uncover DC—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her latest report, “Federal Air Marshal Whistleblowers Report Tulsi Gabbard Actively Under Surveillance via Quiet Skies Program.” You can read the full article here: https://uncoverdc.com/2024/08/04/fams-whistleblowers-report-tulsi-gabbard-on-quiet-skies-list 4:50pm- The Left Blames Trump For Everything: Journalist Matt Taibbi hilariously reacted to a very bizarre New York Times op-ed: “The New York Times ran a guest editorial by Belle Boggs, a North Carolina author who had a bat fly in her house.

Naturally, the episode led her to think of Donald Trump.” You can read the full article here: https://www.racket.news/p/bat-scares-egghead-couple-trump-blamed 4:55pm- While speaking with Lesley Stahl on CBS, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said she believes Joe Biden's presidency has been such a success that he should be added to Mount Rushmore!
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/05/2024): 3:05pm- According to reports, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has narrowed her decision for a running mate to Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Over the weekend, Politico reported that Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) warned the Harris Campaign about Shapiro's work on Pennsylvania's Board of Pardons. 3:15pm- On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell over 1,000 points. Meanwhile, Japan's Nikkei plunged 12% —the largest drop since the Black Monday crash in 1987. Rich wonders if the global market is reacting to the wide-spread perception that Kamala Harris could win the 2024 presidential race? Several days ago, during a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, Donald Trump warned that if Harris wins the election, the world could see an economic crash. 3:40pm- Richard Grenell— Former Acting Director of the United States National Intelligence & Former United States Ambassador to Germany—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to talk about tensions escalating in the Middle East. Are we on the precipice of wide-spread global war? Plus, Grenell reacts to Kamala Harris's past pledge to ban fracking.

Vance's comments about “childless cat ladies”—explaining that her husband wasn't attempting to criticize anyone but was merely emphasizing how difficult it is to be a parent in the United States. Is Usha the Trump Campaign's secret weapon? 5:15pm- Byron Donalds vs George Stephanopoulos: Congressman Byron Donalds's (R-FL) appearance on ABC's This Week devolved into chaos when “unbiased” host George Stephanopoulos condemned Donald Trump and his campaign's surrogates for saying Kamala Harris has used her racial identity for political gain. While Donalds continually attempted to clarify Trump's previous statements, Stephanopoulos interrupted over and over again. Citing a Politico article, Rich reminds that audience that in 2019—during the 2020 Democrat Primary—it was Democrats that questioned Harris's racial identity. 5:30pm- Why did Robert Kennedy Jr. leave a dead bear cub in Central Park? Bradford Betz of Fox News writes: “Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. released a bizarre video on X Sunday, in which he tells comedian Roseanne Barr about the time he dumped a dead bear cub in New York City's Central Park a decade prior…RFK tells Barr he was on his way there when a woman in a van in front of him hit a young bear and killed it.” You can read the full story here: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rfk-jr-admits-dumping-dead-bear-cub-central-park-roseanne-barr-listens-bizarre-video 5:40pm- Did Donald Trump just say he thought Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau might be the son of former Cuban Dictator Fidel Castro? 6:05pm- On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell over 1,000 points. Meanwhile, Japan's Nikkei plunged 12% —the largest drop since the Black Monday crash in 1987. Rich wonders if the global market is reacting to the wide-spread perception that Kamala Harris could win the 2024 presidential race? Several days ago, during a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, Donald Trump warned that if Harris wins the election, the world will see an economic crash. 6:10pm- Fetterman Warns Kamala's Team About Shapiro: Holly Otterbein of Politico writes: “Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman is concerned about the possibility that Vice President Kamala Harris might choose his state's governor, Josh Shapiro, as her running mate, and his advisers have privately relayed those worries to Harris' team, according to three people familiar with the conversations. Fetterman's advisers suggested to Harris' team that the senator believes that Shapiro is excessively focused on his own personal ambitions. His reservations about Shapiro reflect a long-running rivalry between the two ambitious Democrats, who have risen on parallel tracks in a politically crucial state.” You can read the full article here: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/03/fetterman-shapiro-harris-vp-00172557 6:15pm- Josh Shapiro Wants To Be Barack Obama: Katie Glueck of The New York Times writes: “Mr. Shapiro described Mr. Obama as someone ‘whose example I've tried to emulate' in an interview last week, but he declined to comment on ‘any communications that I have with President Obama.' Some have suggested—sometimes lightheartedly, sometimes mockingly—that Mr. Shapiro has taken his goal of emulating Mr. Obama's example literally. Among the likenesses: They both managed to end up with family dogs named ‘Bo.' And Mr. Shapiro's cadence, rhythms and sometimes even hand gestures can seem so reminiscent of the former president's that some people have started jokingly referring online to Mr. Shapiro, who is Jewish, as ‘Baruch Obama.'” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/08/05/us/harris-trump-election 6:20pm- While speaking with Lesley Stahl, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi vehemently denied that she was responsible for convincing Joe Biden to dropout of the 2024 presidential race. 6:40pm- Todd Shepherd of Broad + Liberty writes: “Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) is now claiming that after his Secretary of Legislative Affairs had been accused by a subordinate of sexual misconduct and harassment in the workplace in 2023, he did not find out about either the accusations or the resulting investigation until ‘months after' the events. The new revelation, stemming from a statement made by Shapiro's spokesperson to the New York Times, raises a fresh set of questions, especially given that the governor met with a number of female state senators soon after news of the scandal broke to reassure them that his office took workplace sexual harassment seriously.” You can read the full article here: https://broadandliberty.com/2024/08/04/shapiro-claims-he-didnt-know-of-sexual-misconduct-allegations-against-his-staffer-until-months-later/ 6:50pm- Is Minnesota Governor Tim Walz going to be Kamala Harris's VP pick? The Las Vegas odds indicate he is now suddenly the favorite.
