PRESS PLAY
O'Connor & Company is Washington morning talk with the brakes mostly removed. It starts from the daily news cycle, then turns each item into a fight over power, media framing, institutional trust, or partisan motive. The tone is blunt. The pace is crowded. In the excerpts, Larry O'Connor appears with Patrice Onwuka and Cassie Smedley, moving from Virginia redistricting and gun legislation to Iran, impeachment records, Supreme Court politics, gas prices, and the Justin Fairfax murder-suicide story. The show leans hard into conservative argument. It asks leading questions, repeats conclusions for emphasis, and treats political language like something designed to conceal the real play. Guests supply fuel. John Solomon brings claims about declassified records connected to the first Trump impeachment. Jason Sneed is positioned around the legality and politics of a Virginia gerrymandering referendum. Josh Christenson adds reporting on Fairfax, divorce filings, finances, and the aftermath of allegations. Other booked names include Jim Jordan, Katie McFarland, Mercedes Schlapp, and George Tamplin. Local Virginia stories matter here, especially when they can be tied to national Democratic strategy, crime, courts, voting rules, or suburban cultural politics. Serious topics are handled with urgency, but not with solemn distance. A tragic scandal can sit next to a mocking read of a politician's social video, and a naval blockade can become both military commentary and a riff on Washington language. That mix is the show: partisan, caffeinated, locally wired, and always ready to turn the next headline into evidence.
Made for: For listeners who want conservative morning radio focused on Washington power, Virginia politics, media fights, and high-conflict national news. It suits audiences who prefer sharp opinion and guest-driven argument over neutral summary.
What sets it apart: Its edge is the blend of D.C. proximity, Virginia local obsession, and rapid-fire ideological framing. The show treats local referendums, national scandals, and foreign policy as connected parts of the same political fight.
