In the 1 o'clock hour, Dom leads off the Dom Giordano Program by switching gears to the economy, discussing the negative impact of President Trump's Liberation Day. Dom plays back audio from Senator John Kennedy, who echoes Giordano's concern for the short term negative implications in the stock market. Then, Dom tells of a claim of racism made centered around the game of baseball.

At 1:30, Dom welcomes Deputy Assistant to the President and Principal Deputy Communications Director Alex Pfeiffer onto the Dom Giordano Program to take us inside the White House, behind the scenes after Trump's Liberation Day announcement. Pfeiffer comments on the negative media bias surrounding Trump's announcement, and explains why, although the short term may be tough, the retaliatory tariffs will ultimately benefit all Americans.
