Hour one opens up with the excitement around the short work week coming to an end and a discussion as to why 4th of July cookouts are hard to manifest for the current generation with how easily accessible people are & just how much everything costs making these events happen. Carrie & Ben also discuss the new drone show coming to the waterfront tonight & if they are here for the changes going forward.

The duo then gets into "Something Juicy" recapping the biggest stories from the past 24 hours including an officer involved shooting in Shorewood overnight, a deadly drive by shooting in Chicago that left 4 dead & 14 injured at an album listening party for rapper Mello Buckz, along with the highly anticipated Diddy decision where he was found guilty on 2 counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and not guilty on 3 other counts including the R.I.C.O charges and what is next for the music mogul.

The conversation around Diddy furthers as Carrie & Ben discuss the facts and the charges he was ultimately found guilty for and acquitted of, asking Truth Nation do they believe the jury ultimately got this decision right & what the next steps could look like for the disgraced media mogul.
