The ferris wheels, games, giant pumpkins and the smell of fried dough. Yes, it's time once again for the North Carolina State Fair. On this episode of Farms, Food and You we'll hear from North Carolina Agriculture Commissioner and NC State alumnus, Steve Troxler, to talk all things State Fair, including Howling Cow's new location.
If you only know Jenna Wadsworth from her now infamous TIK-TOK video about Trump’s ‘October Surprise’ announcement that he had contracted Covid-19, we’ll show you another side. A side you really ought to see. Jenna is the Democrat opposing Steve Troxler for NC Agriculture Commissioner. She’s currently a Wake County Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor. Not that there’s anything wrong with that TIK TOK video. It was a biting, ironic reaction to Trump contracting the disease he had dismissed as a hoax, said would be gone by April, and refused to take the steps needed to minimize the damage… and death… it has ended up causing.Well, maybe that depends on how old you are. Trump’s legions hate it (and her), of course… enough to be phoning and posting veiled death threats. But Jenna’s been getting shade from state Democratic leadership, too. TTS host Nanny Jen, on the other hand, found it hilarious, and a perfect example of what TIK TOK is all about for young people. ‘OK Boomer’ generation host Gary Pearce also found it funny, but because it was the first video he’d seen of Wadsworth, he needed to go check YouTube for a few of her other appearances. The TIK TOK video in question was ‘performance’, he says, and maybe not designed to make the best first impression. This show can be that better first impression (and if you’re young, feel free to disagree). When you watch or listen to this program, you’ll see it was mistitled (as Stand Back and Mask Up). We invited Jenna on the show at the last minute, after that TIK-TOK video became, well, notorious. But then we never really talked much about Trump. Jenna owned the show.LINKS:Jenna Wadsworth campaign web site: https://www.jennawadsworth.com/Jenna’s TIK TOK video (on WRAL - the original was taken down): https://www.wral.com/coronavirus/jenna-wadsworths-tiktok-video-on-trumps-coronavirus/19317513/Jenna on UNC-TV/PBS: https://www.pbs.org/video/jenna-wadsworth-on-running-for-nc-agriculture-commissioner-lcc6ud/N&O Article: https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article246173660.htmlGet your Booty to the Polls (not Poles) video: https://youtu.be/eTlv2gfrINMReal Women Vote for Trump video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYsvYLfaXF4TTS on YouTube: https://YouTube.com/TriangleTalkShowThis show: https://youtu.be/wWwd1F6JGWUTTS Web Site: https://TriangleTalkShow.com
