Speaker 1: The Freakytmning Morning Show from.
Speaker 2: Page right here sending in for Alfreda's with the one
Speaker 2: and on it aren't Franklin, aren't good morning.
Speaker 4: My man, Ricky smiling, good morning to you. Today is Friday,
Speaker 4: August seventh. I'm Mark Franklin. There for Afrida's and here
Speaker 4: are the stories making the front page first this morning.
Speaker 4: There's another rest connected to investigation into the death of
Speaker 4: Mississippi college student Northern Wells, but it's important to point
Speaker 4: out this arrest is not for Welles's death. Federal authorities
Speaker 4: say forty year old Edward James Porter of Illinois is
Speaker 4: accused of threatening to kill the witness and the witness's family,
Speaker 4: even allegedly sending the witnesses home address in an effort
Speaker 4: to intimidate them. He's charged with transmitting threatening communications across
Speaker 4: state lines. Porter's arrest is a third involving threats tied
Speaker 4: to the case. The early arrests involved alls threats against
Speaker 4: the judge and bomb threats targeting government offices in Mississippi. Meanwhile,
Speaker 4: the investigation into the death of eighteen year old Nolan
Speaker 4: Wells continues. Civil rights attorney Being Crump, who represents the
Speaker 4: Wells family, says they're still searching for answers. Authorities stressed
Speaker 4: that while three people have been arrested for making threats,
Speaker 4: no one has been charged in connection with Welles's death. Now,
Speaker 4: let's talk about what's on your dinner plate. The debate
Speaker 4: over lab grown meat is heating up across the country.
Speaker 4: Seven states have now banned the sale or production of
Speaker 4: meat grown from animal cells. The states Alabama, Florida, Indiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska,
Speaker 4: and Texas.
Speaker 1: Supporters of the band say.
Speaker 4: They're protecting farmers, ranchers, and the traditional livestock industry. Critics, however,
Speaker 4: say the laws limit consumer choice and could slow innovation
Speaker 4: and food production. Lab grown meat is created by cultivating
Speaker 4: animal cells in a controlled environment without raising or slaughtering livestock.
Speaker 4: While federal regulators have approved some of those products for sale,
Speaker 4: states are continuing to chart their own course. So if
Speaker 4: you miss any part of the show, make sure you
Speaker 4: check out the Ricky Smoley Morning Show podcast.
Speaker 1: It's available wherever you get your podcast. Now, let's take
Speaker 1: a look at sports.
Speaker 3: What's up to rock The sports genius is in the building.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I appreciate that, Art Man. A preseason NFL season
Speaker 5: officially kicked off last night. The Hall of Fame game
Speaker 5: went down. Carolina Panthers beat Arizona. Arizona rookie quarterback Carson
Speaker 5: Beck look pretty good, man. He's fifteen for nineteen through
Speaker 5: for almost two one of yards, had a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Very efficient.
Speaker 5: It's just a preseason, so it's all good. But he
Speaker 5: looked good and did what he was supposed to do
Speaker 5: as deserves. My Detroit Lions has made Pro Bowl running
Speaker 5: back Jamior Gibbs the highest paid running back in NFL
Speaker 5: history three year, sixty seven point five million dollar extension.
Speaker 5: Fifty million of that is Garontee, the founder of Outkicked Sports,
Speaker 5: has contacted the WNBA and the Las Vegas Aces to
Speaker 5: make it offer.
Speaker 1: Just to prove this point, so Klay Travis.
Speaker 6: He's the man behind OutKick. He announced today he's offering
Speaker 6: ten million dollars to the winner of a game of
Speaker 6: basketball between a high school boys team of his choosing
Speaker 6: and the WNBA defending champions, the Las Vegas Aces, because
Speaker 6: he thinks it is so impossible for any group of women,
Speaker 6: let alone the best in the game, that they could
Speaker 6: ever beat younger and more inexperienced boys.
Speaker 1: Man, let me tell you something. I'm on this. I
Speaker 1: want to see it. It's great for marketing. Let's go
Speaker 1: do it.
