Despite stepping away from WBT, John Hancock is still hosting his annual Bikes for Kids drive with the Charlotte news/talk station.

On Friday, December 9th, WBT will host the 30th annual event from its Charlotte studios from 5-9 PM. The entire event will be broadcast live on the station. Additionally, the company has partnered with Woody’s Auto Service locations in the area to serve as drop-off locations as a more convenient option for the community.

“We are hoping that everyone who has helped us through the years will help us again, and we are excited to continue this great tradition for its 30th year,” Hancock said. “As you’re planning your holiday celebrations, please consider donating a new bike so a deserving kid will have something to celebrate, too.”

Throughout its history, the Hancock’s Bikes for Kids drive has distributed more than 20,000 bicycles to Charlotte-area children.

Mark Levin: Joe Scarborough Is A ‘Chameleon’ That Fails At Everything He Does

“He’s one of these disaffected Republicans who failed in Congress.”

Mark Levin slammed Joe Scarborough after the MSNBC host issued a doomsday reality should former president Donald Trump get re-elected in 2024.

Scarborough analyzed Trump’s vengeful motivators and drew a comparison between his politics and fascism. 

Furthermore, he wound up taking the conversation up a notch by saying the media cannot treat Trump like a typical political candidate because “[Trump] is running to end American democracy as we know it.”

Nonetheless, Levin went after the Morning Joe host during his Tuesday appearance on Sid & Friends in the Morning, labeling him a failure. 

“Scarborough is what he’s always been,” Levin told host Sid Rosenberg. “He’s a chameleon. He’s one of these disaffected Republicans who failed in Congress, failed on radio, failed on Fox, and then he winds up on this MSNBC, which has an audience of basically sonograms and airport radar. That’s pretty much where he is.”

Rosenberg laughed out loud as Levin made his comments.

“Comcast should have pulled his ticket a long time ago,” Levin concluded.
