We begin with Greg Stocker’s story of Belgian diver Stefan Panis recovering an intact Guinness bottle from an 1864 shipwreck off England. Scientists hope enough material remains to recreate the original beer, while we debate whether anything sitting underwater for 162 years belongs anywhere near a human stomach. Dawn then turns to Philadelphia, where police investigate a double shooting outside Temple University Hospital and several other shootings concentrated largely in North Philadelphia.
Dawn also covers congressional Democrats investigating immigration enforcement involving military families, Derek Reid’s arrest in connection with the Kelly Drive hit-and-run death of Temple student Bryce Wolfe, and a 13-year-old nonverbal autistic boy revived by lifeguards after suffering a seizure in a New Jersey pool. Phil Almquist takes us through the Phillies’ 12-inning win over Toronto, Kyle Schwarber going deep twice, Derek Hill delivering the walk-off hit, Chase Utley entering the Phillies Wall of Fame and Lane Johnson saying this is probably his last season.
Nick’s Big Take centers on the Senate leaving Washington for a 35-day recess without passing the SAVE America Act. We go after John Thune, discuss Trump’s call to end the filibuster, hear Kamala Harris criticize proof-of-citizenship requirements and revisit John Fetterman’s sharp assessment of the Biden-era border. Then 2028 arrives early: Marco Rubio tops JD Vance in a conservative straw poll, Trump reportedly tells donors “we need to elect JD,” and we debate Rubio, Vance, AOC and Kamala Harris as possible matchups while asking whether Iran becomes the issue that separates Rubio from Vance.
