Republican women to ‘Celebrate America’

Mike Slater, host of “The Mike Slater Show” on KFMB-AM radio, will be the guest speaker at Intermountain Republican Women Federated’s last meeting of the season on Monday, June 26.

The meeting, which also is the group’s June fundraiser, will be in Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Lane, and will start at 5:45 p.m. Social time will be at 5:15. “Celebrate America” will be the theme of the evening. Dinner will be $20 per person. A patriotic basket will be the silent auction item, and opportunity drawings will be held.

In addition to his weekday shows on KFMB-AM, Slater hosts Glenn Beck’s The Blaze Radio on Saturdays. He has hosted “Mike Slater: Young Conservative” on SiriusXM PATRIOT and filled in on Glenn Beck’s television and radio show.

Slater, 32, is a graduate of Yale University, where he majored in history. He was selected among the top five “Young Guns” of talk radio last year and conducted a 90-minute interview with President Donald Trump in the Trump Tower board room.

Where other talk hosts may use anger, frustration, and hopelessness to talk about current events, Slater tells stories that connect to eternal principles and conservative values, said the meeting announcement.

“Mike speaks to the conservative heart by focusing on the five values that most inspire a virtuous life: curiosity, gratitude, hope, zest, and love,” the announcement said.
