We start with Chick-fil-A’s decision to keep human beings taking drive-thru orders while competitors turn toward computerized ordering. That gives us an opening round of fast-food complaints, Nick’s McDonald’s Happy Meal story and a rainy softball Sunday that nearly interferes with the Eagles. We preview the morning’s political argument, campus drug stories, college freshmen heading home early and the Jason Kelce controversy.
Dawn’s first news run centers on the latest search of Raymond “R.C.” Horsch’s West Chew Avenue home, where Philadelphia police and the FBI continue looking for evidence tied to missing women. We also cover separate North Philadelphia shootings, including one close to Temple, before Phil’s 40th high school reunion becomes its own target. The news then moves to the Haverford Township crash, where police say the deceased pickup driver had a license revoked for medical reasons, and the growing problem of drivers passing stopped school buses.
We close the hour with the #IamJaneDoe movement, the coming Shapiro-Garrity gubernatorial debate, Christa Pike’s failed execution and the Netherlands case involving euthanasia of a severely disabled child. Phil runs through the Eagles’ blown 20–10 lead against Los Angeles before we launch the Big Take: affordability, Mark Kelly’s tax proposal, democratic socialism, Charles Barkley, Bill Maher, political fear surrounding artificial intelligence and the Republican push to keep voters engaged through November.
