Dawn’s Big Three: Kentucky State Trooper Hayden Phillips Killed

The final portion turns to Trump’s Super Intelligence event and his comments about technology companies working with communities hosting data centers. We question self-regulation, discuss data-center construction in Virginia, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and hear a listener report about a nearby facility affecting his former wife’s house. Jimmy Kelly then runs through the morning’s funniest moments before Phil handles Today in Music History Dawn’s Big Three begins with the killing of 28-year-old Kentucky State Trooper Hayden Phillips during a traffic stop on I-65 north of Bowling Green. Dawn details the arrest of suspect Emonnie Branch, his prior record as described in court reporting and the tributes from fellow troopers who describe Phillips as a mentor, friend and dedicated public servant. Big Three number two is the conviction of former American Idol contestant and church music pastor Caleb Flynn in the killing of his wife, Ashley. We watch old audition footage in which Flynn speaks about the wife he is later convicted of killing, react to his courtroom breakdown and discuss the evidence surrounding his affair and the prosecution’s case. The conversation briefly detours to the Philadelphia Zoo’s famous nearly 100-year-old Galapagos tortoise and her 16 offspring. Big Three number three takes us to East Mount Airy, where surveillance video shows a woman setting a fire outside a daycare and returning during a second incident. Police are asking for the public’s help identifying her. From there, the morning ends exactly as What Up Wednesday should: grocery-store arguments, produce chatter, Sam the Butcher jokes, Dan Borowski feeding the madness and Tony Bruno still hanging around as we close the show.
