We kick off The Dawn Stensland Show breaking down JD Vance’s appearance on The View, where he coolly managed the crossfire from Sunny Hostin, Ana Navarro, and Whoopi Goldberg. Vance stayed perfectly calm while setting the record straight on the Jeffrey Epstein files, noting that Donald Trump threw Epstein out of his club and reported him to law enforcement. The crew looks at Vance's folksy, middle-of-America style and how he handled relentless interruptions, even delivering a smooth reality check to Ana Navarro about her old-guard ties. Meanwhile, the team rallies around Dan as he fights through a sudden stomach flare-up, prompting Dawn to offer up the classic BRAT diet approach.
Senator Kim Ward joins us to highlight how Pennsylvania ratepayers are getting played by a PJM grid price cap that bails out neighboring states. As a massive energy exporter sitting on a gold mine of resources, Pennsylvania is stuck bailing out blue states like Maryland and New Jersey for their own green climate agendas. We address the dynamic where these democratic governors get political cover while local electric bills soar, and we layout a direct call to action for listeners to swamp the governor's office and demand a fairer deal.
Later, Dr. Michael Busler from Stockton University joins us to break down new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's choice to hold interest rates steady amid a 4.2% inflation rate. We look at the potential economic relief on the horizon if the current Iran deal holds, which could open the Strait of Hormuz, bring oil prices well under $75 a barrel, and pull gasoline prices down further. We wrap up with a warning about clinging, stinging jellyfish invading local Jersey rivers, Dan's unconventional sting remedies, and a handoff to Dom Giordano as he previews a Supreme Court gun ruling and a minor league baseball uniform controversy in York.
