The Dave Allen Show

Dave Allen opens a Tuesday edition of 580 Live two days after the most significant rainfall event at Yeager Airport since 1961 — 4.23 inches triggering 2,100 emergency calls, 60 water rescues, and a Charleston state of emergency. Attorney General JB McCuskey leads the show with warnings about post-disaster scam contractors and fraudulent charity solicitations, and discusses a federal court victory striking down ATF registration requirements following the elimination of the NFA tax in the Big Beautiful Bill, as well as ongoing cases involving Apple, pharmacy benefit managers, and the Protect College Sports Act. Kanawha County Commission President Ben Salango then details the county's cleanup plan — including curbside debris collection in Cross Lanes and the Upper Kanawha Valley — and addresses a viral social media panic about a dam breaking, clarifying it was unfounded misinformation. Logan Scott of V100 previews the WVRC Media Cares for Kids Radiothon benefiting WVU Medicine Golisano Children's, set for Thursday and Friday.
