Dawn opens the hour breaking down the horrific, botched lethal injection of killer Krista Pike in Tennessee. We examine how the media ignores the suffering of victim Colleen Slemmer and her grieving mother, May, who endured 31 years of waiting only to face delays, laughter, and zero closure. Dawn argues that our justice system consistently prioritizes convicted killers over the rights of victims and grieving families, while the crew reacts to the complete failure of state prison protocols.
We cover the looming Pennsylvania deadline as state police prepare to seize unlicensed skill game machines across small businesses. Dawn also dives into the alarming reports out of Siberia after a lab worker’s death sparked pneumonic plague quarantines, raising big questions about dangerous global lab research. Plus, we look into the major Florida lawsuit against Pfizer over deceptive vaccine marketing and discuss whether Pennsylvania officials should pursue similar action.
Frank Scales and Ian McGinnis join Dawn to report on their wild experience confronting radical Marxist and anti-Israel agitators in Manhattan. The Surge Philly crew breaks down shocking footage of protesters waving communist flags, shutting down traffic, and climbing police vehicles with a crucifix. We also tackle the growing controversy surrounding the Cornell 7, discussing how trial by media and political grandstanding by state officials threaten true justice before an investigation even finishes.
