Community events provide a wonderful opportunity to connect with listeners, readers, parents, grandparents, caregivers, veterans, small business owners, and young people who represent the very best of America. From Foster Care to Broadcasting My own journey began under difficult circumstances. As a young child, I entered foster care before eventually being raised by my grandmother in the Bronx. My mother struggled with severe mental illness, and my father was largely absent from my life. Those experiences shaped my perspective and continue to influence my work today. The...

Dominic Carter vs. Ilhan Omar: When America Comes Second When you’re elected to serve the people of the United States of America, your priorities should reflect the interests of the American public first — not politics on another continent. Yet once again, Rep. Ilhan Omar is making headlines for commentary centered overseas rather than the everyday struggles right here at home — inflation, crime, education, housing costs, and the lack of services for families who are trying to survive in the most difficult economy in decades. America deserves leaders who put citizens first. That’s exactly why Dominic Carter, veteran New York journalist and host on 77 WABC Radio, stepped into the national conversation to respond directly — with facts, context, and the kind of straight talk you won’t hear on cable news roundtables. As Dominic puts it plainly: “America comes first. Period.” Whether you agree or disagree with his take, his point sparks a larger and urgent question: Who is fighti...

New York City politics just shifted again — and the discussion is growing louder. Veteran journalist and talk radio host Dominic Carter is digging into a developing political story: NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has officially endorsed Abra Kawass for State Assembly — and critics are raising serious questions about the decision. Why? Kawass has made public statements blaming America for 9/11, and her father was previously deported as an undocumented terrorist. Supporters defend her as bold and unapologetic — while others warn this signals a radical shift in New York’s political direction. Is this just another election headline, or a sign of something much bigger happening in City Hall? Dominic Carter examines the facts, the reaction, and what this endorsement could mean for New Yorkers and for national politics moving forward. 🎙 Dominic Carter Radio Schedule: • LIVE weekdays at 3 PM Eastern on 77 WABC Radio • Back LIVE again midnight–1 AM (ET) • Sunday Edition LIVE 11 PM...

  Dominic Carter, WABC Radio host and keynote speaker, shares his journey from foster care and child abuse survival to resilience and national inspiration. When Dominic Carter steps onto a stage, the room often falls silent. The veteran journalist and talk radio host has interviewed presidents, mayors, and world leaders. Yet the stories that resonate most with audiences are not about politics or power — they’re about family, resilience, and overcoming the odds. Dominic’s memoir, No Momma’s Boy , chronicles a childhood shaped by adversity, including experiences with foster care and the challenges of growing up without stability. For many, these are stories that might remain private. But Dominic chose to share them publicly — not for sympathy, but to inspire. “I always tell audiences, your past doesn’t define your future,” Carter says. “I’m proof of that. If I can make it, anyone can.” That message has carried him across the country and into communities where his voice is needed ...

  Save us the crocodile tears, Jimmy. You left out the three most important words: “I am sorry.” Instead of humility, we saw defiance. But here’s the truth: you’re a comedian who isn’t funny anymore. You’re no Eddie Murphy, and let’s be clear — you’re not on the same level as the President of the United States. And when the President hit a nerve by pointing out your failing ratings, your response was to brag that “millions are watching me right now.” That may have been true in the moment, but the real question is: how many will be watching next week ? Face it, Jimmy — your show is on life support. If you’re tired of media spin and weak late-night comedy, follow Dominic Carter for real talk.

Jimmy Kimmel is returning to ABC this Tuesday, but not without controversy.
