The final recorded hour opens with privacy and policing. We take on Flock license-plate cameras, examples of improper surveillance and Abington Township’s move toward replacing Flock after concerns about data security. Dawn makes the case for cameras as useful investigative tools in burglaries, stolen-car cases and violent crimes, while Tony pushes the Big Brother side of the argument and insists that due process has to remain central. That debate carries directly into the Trenton shooting and the reality that cameras sometimes become witnesses when human witnesses are afraid to speak.
Jimmy Kelly then brings us Fight Club, beginning with news that Novak Djokovic vomits during his first-round U.S. Open loss. The fight video itself gives us a tall man, a shorter man, a one-punch knockdown, a woman in leopard-print shorts and another person who appears to be wearing military-style clothing. The crew openly admits it has no idea where the fight takes place, so we keep that location unknown. After the commercial gap, we return to the Trenton mass shooting, policing, repeat offenders, immigration enforcement and prosecutorial policy before the conversation somehow reaches Costco samples, pigs in a blanket, goat cheese, Robin Bruno and Italian sausage.
Phil Omquist gets an unusually early start on This Day in Music History, running through Glenn Tilbrook, Rudolf Schenker, Debbie Gibson, Jimi Jamison, Fleetwood Mac, the Rolling Stones, Metallica, Traffic, the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Soundgarden. Then Dawn’s Big Three begins at 9:48:45 AM ET with Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent at the G20 finance ministerial in Asheville. Dawn moves to the Newark Airport shuttle crash that injures 13 people, then brief Virginia monument and Tony Bruno “Lake Bruno” banter precede the Lindsay Clancy trial. We finish the supplied recording with the jury’s third day of deliberations, the deaths of Cora, Dawson and Callan Clancy, criminal-responsibility arguments and the crew’s discussion of premeditation.
