Dawn opens Thursday detailing the major economic and political headlines driving the nation following President Trump’s historic midterm convention speech. We breakdown the administration’s milestone accomplishments with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, from record-low violent crime rates driven by border security to massive tax cuts on tips, overtime, and Social Security. Stockton University economics professor Dr. Michael Busler joins the show to examine the financial reality facing everyday Americans, analyzing why gas prices remain high, how diesel costs impact the supply chain, and whether the Federal Reserve will hold interest rates steady amid ongoing tensions with Iran.
Dawn and Larry Mendte turn to a massive local and national story surrounding Ground Zero and the health of 9/11 first responders. We react to the release of 170,000 pages of previously hidden city documents showing officials knew the air quality at Ground Zero was toxic just weeks after the attack. Larry shares his firsthand experience traveling to Washington, D.C. with injured firefighters and police officers to fight for funding, calling out four separate city administrations for sitting on critical health data while over 9,000 first responders have died from post-9/11 illnesses.
On the solemn one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s tragic assassination, Dawn pays tribute to the conservative icon alongside key voices from the movement. We play President Trump’s moving speech honoring Charlie alongside his widow, Erica Kirk, at the midterm convention. Turning Point USA’s Jack Posobiec joins us live to reflect on his close friendship with Charlie, the grassroots legacy of the organization, and how young Americans are continuing the fight for faith, freedom, and foundational values across college campuses nationwide.
