We open this broadcast looking at President Trump ordering flags lowered nationwide to half-staff following the passing of country music legend Dolly Parton at age 80. Dawn and election integrity attorney Linda Kearns reflect on Dolly’s extraordinary life, her massive philanthropic legacy through the Imagination Library, and her sharp business sense in retaining her publishing rights over Elvis Presley. We also mark the five-year commemoration of the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal and Abbey Gate bombing, as veterans receive upgraded valor awards.
The crew dives into President Trump’s extensive interview with Glenn Beck, breaking down the major foreign policy and domestic takeaways. Dawn and the team analyze Director John Ratcliffe's late-night trip to Russia, Trump’s stance on preventing Sharia law, and the ongoing economic appeal of Marxism to younger generations. Dawn and Linda also react to Trump calling out Canada’s massive tariffs on American agriculture, including its 400 percent milk tariff, and his unfiltered thoughts on Canadian leadership.
Rounding out the show, we cover the Republican National Committee’s plan for a historic two-night midterm convention in Dallas with President Trump and JD Vance. The team pays tribute to actor Tim Curry following his passing at 80, reacts to wild stories of local wildlife encounters, and takes calls from listeners on everything from South Philly bugs to Elvis memorabilia.
