About this listen

 Thanksgiving should be a time of gratitude and togetherness, but for some, it becomes a reminder of sacrifice and loss. Christopher Smitherman joins us again on the 55KRC Morning Show to share his profound reflections on a tragic incident that shook military families across the nation. With the ambush of two National Guard members still fresh in our minds, Christopher opens up about the raw emotions and fears that come with having a child in uniform, drawing from his personal experience as a father whose son serves in the Guard. This heartfelt discussion focuses on the importance of standing united, setting aside political differences to honor those who serve..


We then pivot to the upcoming Tennessee election and its potential ripple effects on the 2026 political landscape. With a Democrat making surprising strides in a traditionally Republican stronghold, this race is heating up in unexpected ways. We discuss the dynamics at play, including the Democratic candidate's controversial remarks about Tennessee and country music, and how they might influence the election's outcome. Christopher offers his insights into whether the Republicans can maintain their stronghold and what this could mean for the future balance of Congress.
