Part 1: Ray dives into the sins of the father. Lilly Diabetes has pulled its sponsorship of Conor Daly’s No. 6 car in the Nascar Xfinity race at Road America, citing a racial slur made by the driver’s father in the 1980s that surfaced this week. Ray continues that Daly’s father at the time was new to the country and the word used had a different meaning from where he was from and he apologized. Pete McVety, McVety Hearth & Home, joins Ray with treats from Dunkin Donuts.
Part 2: Ray touches on a tweet from David Hogg and the story that Blue Lives Matter reported. He was the Parkland student turned activist. In his two-part tweet, he told Smith & Wesson to give $5 million dollars to gun violence research or be “destroyed” by “love and economics. Ray and Pete are joined by David Jones and Gordon Draper.
