Ben Domenech opens with the Virginia firestorm around attorney general candidate Jay Jones. He details the reported texts, plays the apology, and reacts to Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s response. He also lays out why this controversy raises questions about early voting and accountability. Maria Bartiromo joins Ben to talk AI bias, jobs, and how to keep perspective with new tech. She explains why social platforms should be liable when they act like news outlets, and walks through her 3:45 a.m. routine, live breaking news prep, and why her show is beating CNBC in the mornings. She also shares how to teach kids about money with simple habits that build independence. Investigative journalist Luke Rosiak stops by to break down the latest on the Kavanaugh case sentencing and what it means for deterrence and equal justice. Finally, Ben looks at the CBS shake up and what Bari Weiss moving into legacy media could mean for real journalism, independent voices, and reaching audiences beyond the bubble.
