The Need to Know Morning Show discusses a wide array of topics, from local weather (noting the absence of snow and the coming rain) and sports (Bison QB Cole Payton is Offensive Player of the Week ) to the latest political developments. The hosts cover the absurdity of the upcoming "No King's Rally" planned to protest President Trump, reading the protest's press release and countering the claims of "authoritarian actions". A major segment is dedicated to an explosive investigative report by Peter Schweitzer regarding New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, whose family has deep financial ties to Qatar's royal family—the same family that harbored 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Schweitzer calls the election a "dark echo of the 9-11 terrorist attack". In the final hour, Senator John Kennedy discusses his new book, How to Test Negative for Stupid, and breaks down the ongoing "Schumer Shutdown," calling it a reflection of the "absurd demands of the socialist wing of the democratic party". He is prepared to stay shut down rather than agree to undo a bill and spend $1.5 trillion. The show also celebrates Charlie Kirk's birthday as his family is set to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
