We had an exclusive interview with one of the ten volunteers from our local Red Cross chapter directly helping wildfire victims in Hawaii. Lori Merker-Chapman has been a volunteer with the Red Cross in Connecticut for six years and this is the first time she's had this role as a virtual volunteer connecting families around the globe with loved ones in Hawaii.

After years of fighting to shut them down, The PETA Foundation is celebrating the permanent closure of SeaQuest in the Trumbull Mall. It's set to close the only Connecticut location August 20th. Michelle Sinnott has been on the morning show the last four years talking about the issues they've seen with the aquarium chain. She came back on just hours after the news broke in Trumbull.

Senator Richard Blumenthal stopped by to discuss the latest on abortion pill regulation, a push to ban flavored vaping products, health concerns surrounding easy access to Ozempic and what can be done about SeaQuest staying in business across the US despite leaving CT. ((21:24))
