Lou Dobbs
As a CNN anchor, award-winning journalist, best-selling author and America’s leading voice of reason, Lou Dobbs packs a powerful punch. His views influence our leaders, his viewers, and his readers. Lou now brings his point of view to the radio airwaves in a new daily, 3-hour program. Lou examines the issues, evokes passion and entertains the audience like no other broadcaster.
He brings a true independent voice to Talk Radio, occupying the vital middle ground between the conservative and liberal voices that dominate much of the segment today, particularly as the country heads towards a critical election. The show is guest-centered and features political discussion and listener calls
As Lou says, “The political climate is rapidly changing. Independents are registering at an unprecedented rate and will determine the outcome of the 2008 election. I’m excited to be adding my voice to the talk show arena and have an opportunity, along with my listeners, to help enrich our national dialogue.”
Lou Dobbs is the anchor and managing editor of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight. Dobbs also anchors a nationally syndicated financial news radio report, The Lou Dobbs Financial Report, and writes a weekly commentary on CNN.com.

In addition to his current book, "Independents Day: Awakening the American Spirit," he is also the author of the New York Times bestseller "War on the Middle Class,"  the best-selling book "Exporting America" and co-author of "Space.”
