Dawn opens Monday with major local news out of Essex County, New Jersey, where a diverse jury handed down a unanimous $671,000 verdict to Teddy de Blasio, a Christian groundskeeper fired under former Governor Phil Murphy’s COVID vaccine mandate. Attorney John D. Coyle joins us to break down how county officials rubber-Stamped religious exemptions for Muslim workers while systematically denying Christian employees, hiding the double standard for years. Dawn ties this victory to local accountability, highlighting how Pennsylvania grass-roots pressure forced Governor Josh Shapiro’s administration to withdraw a 502-page IRRC proposal aimed at expanding state health control.
Frank Scales of Surge Philly joins Dawn in studio to talk about keeping the conservative fight alive among the next generation. We react to his latest on-the-ground video outside the UN in New York City, where a pro-Palestine protester openly cheered for attacks on US military members. Frank and Dawn dive into how mainstream media spin and online "blackpill" doom-scrolling are used to disenfranchise young conservative voters ahead of the midterms, and why showing up in person is the key to countering fake news narratives.
Ocean City resident Robin Schaefer checks in with the crew to give us an update on the Jersey Shore's nor’easter cleanup. We trace how Daisy the dog became a viral star after floating down flooded streets in a sage green kayak, while Robin details the massive beach erosion, 150-foot shoreline losses, and the ongoing fight to protect coastal waters from offshore wind turbine projects. Plus, we look at Vivek Ramaswamy confronting media pushback on CNN and mourn the passing of legendary Philadelphia Phillies executive Bill Giles.
