We begin the hour with a meat-and-studio-temperature detour before turning to the Supreme Court’s decision clearing a procedural path for Trump’s mail-voting executive order. We dig into Josh Shapiro’s response, the still-unresolved court fight, the proposed federal list of eligible voters and the Postal Service’s role. The conversation then reaches Mikie Sherrill and New Jersey’s voter-registration problems, with Rooney and Dawn debating citizenship, eligibility, public benefits and what similar errors could mean in other civic settings.
With September 11 approaching its 25th anniversary, we explain WPHT’s special broadcast, “9/11 Through the Eyes Of,” from Doylestown Fire Company No. 1 and ask first responders, survivors, relatives, veterans and witnesses to share firsthand accounts. Nick recalls seeing smoke from Easton after the attacks, Dawn recounts reporting from Philadelphia and later interviewing Bucks County families, and Rooney describes being sent home from high school as nobody knew whether more American cities would be attacked. We also discuss the 18 Bucks County residents killed that day and Gary Sinise’s support for cleaning New Jersey’s Empty Sky memorial.
