   Number 4: Trump's $5,000 Midterm Dividend Promise Met With Skepticism

   President Trump addressed the GOP's first-ever midterm convention in Dallas and promised a $5,000 dividend to every adult citizen if Republicans win the House and Senate. Host Tim Wildmon strongly challenged the proposal as unrealistic and inflationary, saying it would burden down-ballot Republican candidates. The panel also discussed Senator John Fetterman's video appearance introducing Republican colleague Dave McCormick. Frank Turek joined the program on the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk's assassination at Utah Valley University. Turek reflected on being present during the attack, the memorial service scheduled for tonight, and his new book The One Reality. He addressed campus intolerance, a survey showing higher support for political violence among liberals than conservatives, and defended his wife Erica against conspiracy theories. Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico told Fox News he no longer believes there are six genders, walking back his 2021 comments and pivoting to economic issues. The panel analyzed his reversal as strategic maneuvering in a tight race against Republican Ken Paxton.

   Number 5: Nike Removed From S&P 100 After Political Controversies and Market Losses

   Tim Wildmon, Ed, Fred, and Steve Paisley discuss Nike's announced removal from the S&P 100 after nearly 18 years, following what one article described as an 80% stock decline and over $200 billion in market cap losses since 2021. The hosts argue that partnerships with Colin Kaepernick and Dylan Mulvaney, cancellation of the Betsy Ross flag sneaker, and other politically charged decisions alienated customers and contributed to the company's financial troubles. The panel also covers the nationwide closure of O'Charlie's restaurant chain after 55 years and notes Cracker Barrel's reversal of unpopular menu and branding changes following customer backlash and criticism. They also examine new Apple Watch features, Live Rewind and Siri Recap, that continuously record ambient audio to generate transcripts and conversation summaries.
