Next year’s midterm elections may come down to one simple question: How do Americans feel about their household budgets?

President Donald Trump is back on the road, making the economy the centerpiece of his message as he argues voters are still paying the price for what he calls the financial mess left behind by the Biden administration. In today’s show, we break down what top economists are saying about the economic outlook, inflation, growth, and whether voters will feel real relief before heading to the polls.

We also dig into the latest controversy surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein files, as Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche insists that redactions were not made to protect President Trump from political or reputational harm — a claim that’s raising eyebrows across Washington.

Investigators in New England have identified the suspected Brown University shooter, and now authorities are examining a possible connection to the murder of an award-winning nuclear scientist at MIT, just 50 miles away. What started as a campus tragedy may now be part of a much larger and more disturbing investigation.

Meanwhile, “The View” co-host Joy Behar sparked outrage after lashing out at President Donald Trump, floating the idea of invoking the 25th Amendment over mocking plaques beneath portraits of Democratic presidents. Critics say the media meltdown is yet another example of the left escalating rhetoric when Trump refuses to play by their rules.

The nation is also mourning a devastating loss in the racing world. Former NASCAR driver Greg Biffle, along with his wife and two children, were killed in a tragic plane crash near their home in North Carolina. Tributes are pouring in as the motorsports community reels from the sudden loss.

Plus, South Carolina Lt. Governor Pamela Evette joins us to break down President Trump’s latest speech, key Palmetto State political developments, and a little Christmas cheer heading into the holidays.

President Trump Delivers Blistering Address | Bongino Exits FBI | Reiner Murder Case | SC Antisemitic Threat Arrest

President Donald Trump delivered a forceful primetime address to the nation, laying out what he called a full-scale reversal of the economic and political damage left behind by the Biden administration. Speaking from the White House, Trump highlighted tax cuts, tariffs, border enforcement, and a new “warrior dividend,” arguing that America is finally “back on track” after years of runaway spending and inflation

We also break down the sudden departure of FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, who announced he will step down less than a year into the role. Bongino’s exit raises serious questions about internal resistance, reform efforts inside the Bureau, and whether true accountability is even possible within Washington’s permanent institutions.

Plus, disturbing new developments out of Los Angeles: Nick Reiner, the son of famed filmmaker Rob Reiner, appeared in court charged with the brutal murder of his parents. Prosecutors are weighing special-circumstance charges that could bring life without parole — or worse — as the case moves forward.

And closer to home, federal authorities have arrested a Pickens County, South Carolina man accused of making violent, antisemitic threats online, including statements about committing a mass shooting. The FBI says the threats were credible and acted swiftly amid a nationwide surge in antisemitic incidents.

Finally, Congressman William Timmons joins the program to discuss the final chaotic days of Congress before the Christmas recess — and what Americans should expect heading into the new year.

Breaking developments across politics, law enforcement, and higher education dominate today’s show.

We begin with a major update in the Brown University mass shooting investigation, as police release new surveillance images and ask for the public’s help identifying the suspect. Authorities confirm the person of interest was briefly detained and released, and serious questions are now being raised about campus security failures and delayed emergency alerts.

President Donald Trump responds to media backlash after Vanity Fair published comments from Chief of Staff Susie Wiles describing his personality — comments Trump says were taken wildly out of context. The White House pushes back on what it calls another coordinated media hit piece.

We also break down a bombshell revelation about the FBI’s 2022 Mar-a-Lago raid, with newly released internal records showing agents did not believe probable cause existed — yet the Biden DOJ approved the search anyway. This raises serious questions about politicization inside federal law enforcement.

Finally, South Carolina Senator Josh Kimbrell joins the program to discuss legislative priorities ahead of January’s session — including the controversial chemtrails bill that would ban the airborne release of chemicals over South Carolina airspace. Sen. Kimbrell explains why he believes the proposal is unnecessary and voted against advancing it.

The search continues for the Brown University shooter after police confirmed a person of interest was briefly taken into custody — and then released. Authorities are now asking for the public’s help after releasing new surveillance photos of the suspect. What do we know, and why are there still so many unanswered questions?

President Donald Trump escalates the fight against drug cartels, announcing he is officially classifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction — a move that could dramatically expand U.S. military and law-enforcement authority against traffickers flooding America with deadly drugs.

A shocking Hollywood crime story: Rob Reiner’s son, Nick Reiner, has been charged with murder and is being held without bail in the brutal killing of Princess Bride director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele. We break down what’s known and what investigators are saying.

And closer to home — the controversy surrounding Oconee County’s Newry Development Project continues to grow. The proposal to add more than 5,000 housing units in a former mill village has already led to major fallout, including the dismissal of the county administrator and the sudden resignation of Clemson University President Jim Clements — a move some believe is tied to the project.

To answer the growing list of questions, Oconee County Council Chairman Matthew Durham joins us for an in-depth conversation on the Newry Project, transparency, growth, and what happens next.
