We start Tuesday with Shawn Farash, Dawn Stensland, and Greg Stocker trading jokes about Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, a tuberculosis investigation connected to a San Francisco strip club, and another rough weekend for the Eagles and Jets. The conversation quickly turns to Pennsylvania politics, with Josh Shapiro's media appearances receiving scrutiny, while Shawn's presidential impressions have everyone laughing. Dawn then leads us into the morning's local headlines with a troubling update concerning the shooting death of Latosha Cooper outside the Walmart at Cedarbrook Plaza in Cheltenham Township.
We examine the charges against Destino Jean-Louis, the victim's former romantic partner, and the allegation that an immigration-related marriage arrangement deteriorates before the killing. Dawn walks us through the reported immigration history, investigators' account of the shooting, cellphone evidence, and the arrest. From there, we discuss early voting in New Jersey, federal election monitors, and a New Jersey passenger accused of sending a threatening message aboard an aircraft. We also touch on controversy surrounding North Penn School District and the growing concerns of parents and taxpayers.
Phil Almquist joins us with sports, bringing his reactions to the Eagles' struggles and the Milwaukee Brewers' commanding World Series position against the Tampa Bay Rays. We then turn to the November elections and an increasingly heated debate over the direction of the Democratic Party. Shawn, Greg, and Dawn discuss Gavin Newsom's criticism of his party, Democratic Socialists of America candidates, potential changes in House and Senate control, and how to interpret polling errors from previous elections. We debate whether Democrats can capitalize on Republican vulnerabilities and what the political environment means for the 2028 presidential contest.
