Police cut ties with 1st Phorm after founder’s rant against female cops
SUMMARY: Please provide the content you would like me to summarize, and I’ll be happy to help!
Two of the region’s largest police departments have cut ties with St. Louis businessman Andy Frisella after he made disparaging remarks about female police officers during an expletive-laden rant on his podcast.
The statements were made on the September 12 episode of Frisella’s podcast, “Real AF,” while he and on-air cohort Davione Johnson were discussing the fallout from a traffic stop involving football player Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins.
Frisella, creator of the 75 Hard fitness challenge and co-founder of Supplement Superstore and 1st Phorm, told Johnson that a lot of officers have a power trip and then he singled out women.
“…There’s a lot of police officers—to be completely honest, especially women police officers—who f—— try to emasculate men. They try to make men feel like they’re being dominated or they’re being, you know, that they have power over them. And, bro, the quickest way to escalate a situation is to do that to a grown man, you know?” Frisella said.

Missouri Democratic Party hosts town hall in challenge to Congresswoman Ann Wagner
SUMMARY: Democrats hosted a town hall in Congresswoman Ann Wagner’s district as part of their effort to reclaim Congress in next year’s midterms. Senator Chris Murphy addressed a crowd of over 1,000, criticizing Wagner and the Trump administration. Although billed as a people’s town hall, the event resembled a political rally led by Democratic activists. Voters voiced concerns about immigration policies and inflation. Wagner, attending Pope Francis’s funeral with a congressional delegation, dismissed the event as a “contrived Democrat spectacle” in a statement. Democrats have yet to announce a candidate to challenge Wagner.
Hundreds of voters were at the town hall to express disapproval of the Trump Administration and call on Congresswoman Ann Wagner, R-Mo., to host a town hall in her district. She is currently travelling to Rome as part of a bipartisan delegation attending the funeral of Pope Francis.
