Hour 1 of The Dawn Stensland Show:
- Last Saturday night, three people were killed and another eleven people hit by gunfire during a shooting on South Street. Police believe four gunmen were involved in the shooting—the final two suspects were arrested in Virginia on Thursday.
- The latest Consumer Price Index shows that inflation has increased 8.6% percent from May 2021—and climbed 1% since last month's measurement.
- Larry Mendte—Emmy Award winning news broadcaster (& Dawn’s husband)—joins the show to discuss Thursday night’s primetime broadcast of the January 6th Committee Hearing. Prior to the hearing, House G.O.P. Leader Kevin McCarthy criticized the committee for hiring a former ABC Executive to assist in the production of the broadcast, arguing representatives should instead be concentrating on more pressing issues like inflation and education.
- The House’s January 6th Committee Hearing opened with Rep. Bennie Thompson playing a clip of former Attorney General Bill Barr disputing Donald Trump’s claim that the 2020 election was stolen.
- During Thursday night’s hearing, Rep. Liz Cheney claimed that Representative Scott Perry (R-PA) requested Donald Trump pardon him for his role in the 2021 Capitol riots. Perry has denied the claims.
- Thursday night’s hearing, U.S. Capitol Hill police officer Caroline Edwards spoke about what she witnessed and experienced during the January 6th riots. Edwards described witnessing a “war scene” and testifying that she was “slipping in people’s blood.”
