In the 7 AM Hour: Larry O’Connor and Patrice Onwuka discussed:

INTERVIEW: Ian Prior: America First Legal Senior Advisor on the AFL urging the Trump Administration to investigate Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland for actively concealing students’ “gender transition” information from parents.

INTERVIEW: Commander Kirk Lippold: Former commanding officer of the United States Navy destroyer USS Cole on October 12, 2000, when the ship was attacked and bombed by al-Qaeda terrorists during a refueling stop in the Yemeni port of Aden, killing 17 U.S. sailors.

IPODS Making a Comeback?: Four years after Apple killed off its digital music player, secondhand sales are surging. It's fueled in part by young people interested not just in its retro looks but a desire to listen to music in a focused way and with playlists not determined by algorithms.

Cardi B: After recent tour stops in Baltimore and Washington, D.C., rapper Cardi B took to social media to share her perspective on the distinct vibes of the two cities.
