Walt Rubel and Jamie Bronstein opened the show with a run-through of local and national topics. Locally, they covered the New Mexico Supreme Court's reinstatement of Rebecca Dow to the House District 38 ballot after her removal over a petition filing dispute, the Las Cruces city budget shortfall of up to $15.8 million discovered by a new finance director, and the school board's 5-0 vote to rename Cesar Chavez Elementary. The conversation also touched on the ongoing U.S. military involvement in Iran and the economic consequences of the Strait of Hormuz disruption, including rising fuel costs and potential impacts on the upcoming World Cup and Olympics. The segment closed with a call from the Community Foundation of Southern New Mexico promoting Giving Day, an online fundraising event running through Friday, with KTAL participating and seeking to reach a $2,500 goal.
