We run through Today in Music History with Linda McCartney, Elvis, Prince and AC/DC, then a breaking White House press-access development takes over the rest of the hour. CNN, MS NOW and Politico reporters are turned away again after Judge Timothy Kelly’s order, Rich tells his White House Take Your Child to Work story, and we debate hard passes, due process, press access and the recurring collision between presidents and hostile media coverage.
The Philadelphia cocaine takedown. We revisit the $17 million seizure total, the 10-person indictment, alleged cartel coordination, prior trafficking convictions and sentence commutations, then hear U.S. Attorney David Metcalf describe the scope of the organization and the law-enforcement cooperation behind the case.
Dawn's Big Three then turns to Eagles tailgaters and the new South Philly parking restrictions. We get into designated lots, four standard spaces with up to two extra paid spaces, longstanding family setups and the argument over whether tradition should matter when the parking operator says the changes are meant to ease congestion. The third story is Aldi’s $86 million fall price-cut push, which quickly pivots to the East Nashville Aldi where police say a truck driver intentionally crashes a semi into the store while it is closed.
The East Nashville witness clip featuring Eddie Cox becomes a running joke and gives us one more callback before Rich signs off. After the final break, Linda Kearns joins us in Eagles green and we finish by asking whether longtime tailgaters have a legal case, whether the new system is fair and why a parking setup that has operated for years is changing now.
