Fetterman admits he grieves for small business owners lost to pandemic policies and concedes that the Wuhan lab leak theory was dismissed early on purely due to partisan bias. Dawn, Linda, and Dan analyze the legal fallout of Fauci’s opening statement, whether his blanket Fifth Amendment plea holds up after making accusations against Rand Paul, and why Rand Paul’s committee is pushing a contempt resolution.Dawn breaks down the bombshell revelations from Fauci’s typewritten diaries, including his obsession with media fame and shocking personal entries detailing private consultations with celebrities.

We contrast what Fauci recorded privately in January 2020 regarding the Wuhan lab leak and vaccine side effects with what he told the American public for years.

We open Wednesday with the high-stakes election integrity fallout rocking the region after New Jersey officials admitted to registering over 6,000 non-citizens on state voter rolls. Election integrity attorney Linda Kearns joins Dawn Stensland to break down why calling this issue a mere "software glitch" ignores decades of structural flaws stemming from the 1993 Motor Voter Act. We analyze the Department of Justice stepping in to demand full voter records, how state automatic registration policies dump ineligible people onto voting lists, and why local elections face the greatest risk when voter rolls remain uncleaned.Dawn and the crew dive into the eerie ongoing investigation in Olney, where federal agents and cadaver dogs have taken over a neighborhood property to excavate a massive underground pipe.

The Dawn Stensland Show breaks down major taxpayer savings, corporate capitulation, and political hypocrisy across the country and right here in Pennsylvania. We start with the mind-blowing findings coming out of the federal waste, fraud, and abuse task force overseen by VP JD Vance. Dawn breaks down how Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent blocked nearly $100 million in federal payments from being sent directly to dead people, with up to $350 million more expected to be stopped by the end of the year. The crew reacts to the eye-popping scale of unmonitored federal payouts, including CMS pausing over $1 billion in Medicaid funding to California and Minnesota over suspected fraud.

We react to the "De-ICE Citizens Bank" activist campaign and local municipal pressure from New Jersey city councils that led to this decision. Dawn argues that cutting ties with contractors supporting federal law enforcement is a passive-aggressive slap in the face to ICE, border security, and law enforcement officers. Listeners weigh in on the corporate de-banking trend, with callers threatening to pull six-figure accounts over the bank’s decision to bow to activist pressure.We welcome back commentator Guy Ciarrocchi to break down the broader fallout of corporate virtue signaling, immigration enforcement realities, and local political battles. Ciarrocchi emphasizes that DHS and federal agents have located over 145,000 missing children and saved 60,000 from potential trafficking—accomplishments completely ignored by anti-ICE campaigns. The conversation then shifts to Governor Josh Shapiro's school choice reversal, as Ciarrocchi highlights the governor’s decision to veto school choice legislation despite sending his own children to private faith-based schools. We discuss the federal Education Freedom Tax Credit, why Pennsylvania remains one of the few states stalling on the program, and why accurate, clean voter rolls are essential for election integrity.

Dawn takes a hard stance against the enablement of open-air drug markets, referencing how local initiatives like the "Kensington Cam" document a slow-motion tragedy that city leaders refuse to resolve. We debate the historical precedents of mental health institutionalization, the legal rulings from the 1980s under the Supreme Court, and why treating these encampments as "compassionate" only fuels an estuary of crime, sexual abuse, and human vulnerability.Finally, Frank Scales and Ian McGinnis from Surge Philly join the studio after taking their cameras directly into democratic strongholds in Brooklyn. We watch as they trail Trump-endorsed New York gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman, who is challenging Kathy Hochul by directly confronting small business owners about soaring electric bills and socialist grocery store takeovers. From engaging in impromptu dance-offs with anti-ICE sidewalk protesters at Foley Square to breaking down a developing incendiary device attack at the lower Manhattan federal building, the team proves that showing up to have tough conversations is the only way to shift the political needle. Plus, general manager Road Warrior calls out the guys, forcing them to commit to this Sunday's Families Behind the Badge "Ben to the Shore" bike ride.
Dawn breaks down how progressive, anti-interventionist environmental policies in Canada are fueling these massive wildfires, destroying American air quality, and harming domestic timber management jobs.We shift to the upcoming Pennsylvania gubernatorial race as Dawn and former New Jersey Assemblyman Steve Packaruni call out the mainstream media’s blatant bias by omission. While Florida Governor Ron DeSantis travels to Philadelphia for a massive fundraiser backing Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacey Garrity, local news outlets continue to bury her highly decorated military career, corporate business credentials, and major financial policy achievements. Rich Zeoli joins the studio to praise Garrity's fiscal problem-solving, highlighting how she successfully clawed back $2 billion in wasteful state spending.The conversation intensifies following an afternoon announcement from Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin revealing that over 250,000 non-citizens are registered to vote across four states, including Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Finally, we close out the hour with a bizarre debate over pop star Kesha's collection of fan teeth and preview Dom Giordano's upcoming South Philly parallel parking competition.
We break down a jam-packed show starting with Dr. Josh McConkey, a board-certified emergency medicine physician and military flight surgeon, who joins us to untangle the real medical science behind new military testosterone screenings. While critics and the mainstream media try to spin this as a push for "toxic masculinity," Dr. McConkey explains how extreme operational stress routinely tanks hormone levels in service members over 30 and why routine screenings prolong critical careers. We also dive into the terrifying reality of the nationwide cyclospora outbreak. Dr. McConkey warns that this explosive diarrhea parasite can linger for up to six weeks, cannot be killed by household Lysol or hand sanitizer, and requires a strict cooking temperature of 158°C to neutralize on leafy green vegetables.Dawn gets fiery over the tragic death of Pennsylvania State Trooper Michael Fiera, who was struck and killed by an illegal Haitian migrant operating a massive tractor-trailer on a commercial driver's license. We play the powerful audio of President Trump honoring Trooper Fiera at the Pennsylvania Defense and Innovation Summit and react to the shocking revelation that the suspect had a documented history of severe medical seizures yet was still allowed on the road.

Krasner lashed out at Jordan’s formal investigation into Philly's sanctuary city policies, accusing him of writing "nastygrams" and "doing dirt in the dark." Dawn exposes the true numbers, pointing out that over 78,000 non-citizens reside in Philadelphia County, and calls for full transparency on how much local taxpayers are actively shelling out for daily city services. Finally, economist Dr. Michael Bussler of Stockton University joins the show to dissect the dipping inflation numbers and explain how artificial intelligence spending might temporarily boost demand while ultimately driving prices down by supercharging worker productivity.
We open this episode of The Dawn Stensland Show navigating a brutal triple-digit heat wave across the Philadelphia region, dealing with dangerous air pollution from Canadian wildfires and localized emergency building collapses in West Philly. Dawn breaks down the media hypocrisy surrounding recent law enforcement incidents, exposing how a rookie officer in Maine is denied the benefit of the doubt while corporate media platforms push a one-sided narrative. We urge listeners to take their power back and hold media outlets accountable directly through official channels.The crew welcomes Dr. Beth Ann Rosica to analyze a major proposed Pennsylvania bill introduced by Senator Dawn Kiefer that could completely eliminate school property taxes. We review how this legislation aims to restructure education funding through personal income and sales tax changes, potentially providing a relief calculator to save money for up to 80% of local residents. Dawn argues that the state's record-high $52 billion budget continues to throw taxpayer funding at a shrinking public school enrollment system without demanding real accountability or academic outcomes.Finally, legal analyst Linda Kearns joins the show to provide insider analysis on Todd Blanche's high-stakes Senate Judiciary confirmation hearing for Deputy Attorney General, tracking his intense back-and-forth over the Jeffrey Epstein database redactions.

Dawn Stensland opens the hour with the stunning final exoneration of Zachary Reihl, a local Marine veteran, Temple University graduate, and J6 defendant who had his seditious conspiracy conviction completely thrown out. Dawn breaks down how Reihl survived over a year in pre-trial solitary confinement while treated worse than international terrorists. Reihl joins the show directly to expose the malicious tactics used by federal prosecutors—including withholding evidence, using coerced witness testimony, and scheduling critical hearings on his wife's pregnancy due date—and details his upcoming book and documentary highlighting the weaponization of the justice system.The crew then shifts focus to Washington, where Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Elena Kagan delivered rare Capitol Hill testimony to justify a major budget increase amid skyrocketing personal threats. We react to Justice Barrett's chilling, highly personal accounts of having to explain a bulletproof vest to her twelve-year-old son during the Dobbs leak and experiencing a dangerous swatting incident at her family home. Meanwhile, Donald Trump dominates the foreign policy front, greeting the new businessman-turned-prime-minister of Iraq at the White House and posting a massive Truth Social decree detailing a total maritime blockade on Iranian cargo and massive trade agreements in the Gulf.Finally, Abington Township Police Chief and Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association President Patrick Malloy joins the show to provide a law enforcement perspective on the growing debate over Flock license plate reader cameras. Chief Malloy addresses the privacy concerns of libertarians while demonstrating how these devices are vital in tracking international theft rings, locating missing non-verbal children, and solving local burglaries. Malloy also weighs in on a tragic hit-and-run arrest in Abington and argues passionately that true criminal justice reform in the region is completely impossible without comprehensive education reform and school choice.
The Dawn Stensland Show opens up with a comprehensive debrief on Pennsylvania's newly signed 2026-27 state budget. State Senator Tracy Pennycook joins the program to share insider perspective from Harrisburg, celebrating a long-overdue cost of living adjustment (COLA) for retired first responders who haven't seen a pension increase in over two decades. However, the crew reacts sharply to the billions in unused funds being clawed back from government agencies—a clear sign that the state is actively overtaxing its citizens. Dawn argues that Governor Josh Shapiro is playing politics with Pennsylvania's energy dominance, locking residents into higher electric bills to appease environmentalists and secure out-of-state political favors instead of unleashing the natural gas right under our feet.The conversation shifts to the ongoing crisis in the public education system, specifically looking at the staggering $25,000 to $30,000 spent per child in Philadelphia despite abysmal reading and math scores. Senator Pennycook presses for extreme accountability, highlighting how underperforming students are simply passed to the next grade rather than being held back or sent to mandatory summer school. The team champions school choice and expanding the EITC program, arguing that tax dollars must follow the child so parents can escape failing districts and force public institutions to compete for the best educators.Later in the episode, the crew welcomes Frank Scales and Ian McGinnis from Surge Philly to dissect their intense weekend covering the 250th Independence Day festivities and recent pride events. The journalists share wild footage of a confrontation in Washington, D.C., where an aggressive Antifa mob and a hypocritical "First Amendment Squad" of metropolitan police actively impeded conservative media coverage on public property. The team breaks down the deeply unsettling double standards of the political left, exposing the dangerous rhetoric of individuals celebrating the passing of conservative champions like Lindsey Graham, while illustrating how a complete lack of dialogue directly paves the way for political violence. Finally, the guys bring some sports talk to the table, backing Phillies pitcher Zach Wheeler's bold decision to reject a late MLB All-Star invitation after being disrespectfully snubbed for initial selection.
Dawn opens the Friday show highlighting a major national K-12 educational initiative launched to protect students from adult sexual predators in schools. We look closely at how the current administration is addressing a disturbing, recurring pattern across the nation where authority figures face credible reports of misconduct but are simply transferred to different schools within a district—a process known as "passing the trash."

Welcome to The Dawn Stensland Show. We kick off this gorgeous Friday ahead of Father's Day weekend by tackling the upside-down reality playing out in Ewing Township, New Jersey. Uniformed officers doing their jobs in a marked vehicle pursued juveniles driving a stolen Kia, resulting in a tragic crash that took the life of a 13-year-old girl. Yet, the sanctuary state's Office of Public Integrity and Accountability chooses to publicize and investigate the officers instead of charging the juveniles as adults. We react to the incredibly calm demeanor of the officers on the radio transmissions and detail how New Jersey's lack of its own major television news market leaves local departments defenseless against out-of-state media narratives that imply guilt before the facts are even fully verified.We shift our focus to Washington, where Vice President JD Vance took to the White House podium to deliver a comprehensive update on the fragile peace talks with Iran. Despite mainstream media claims attempting to compare this Memorandum of Understanding to the Obama-era deal, Vance makes it clear that the United States hasn't given up a single cent of American money. With gas prices officially dropping below $4 a gallon and 12.5 million barrels of oil moving safely through the Strait of Hormuz, Vance explains how the administration maintains an economic chokehold on Tehran. We break down the stark internal divisions between Iranian pragmatists and radicals, and why compliance remains the only path forward for their crumbling economy.Finally, we look at President Trump’s exclusive, hard-hitting interview with Axios just before his weekend departure for Camp David. Trump insists the newly signed interim agreement amounts to an "unconditional surrender" by Tehran, boasting about the raw military capability of our B-2 bombers and the absolute enforcement of the naval blockade. We also check in on the geopolitical balance with Israel, as Trump asserts his strong relationship with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will keep the region stable and prevent a wider escalation in Lebanon. To wrap up the hour, we pivot to some lighthearted lifestyle talk, checking out the rising social media craze over anti-aging copper peptides
We open this stretch by centering on our local community during a devastating season. Anthony Giordano joins the show to discuss the heavy cloud hanging over South Philly following the horrific, senseless gunning down of 22-year-old Penn State senior Billy Schmidt Jr. The crew shines a spotlight on the grassroots response, including a massive neighborhood vigil organized by Stand Up South Philly and Take Our Streets Back to demand accountability from city leadership. We dig into the infuriating reality of juveniles roaming our streets in full hoodies and surgical face coverings during 92-degree weather, pointing out the absolute lack of criticism from city officials regarding criminal use of masks even as strict laws target local enforcement agents. We also look at how this rising tide of violence continues to choke enrollment at institutions like Temple University, forcing families to flee to the suburbs.Switching gears to the national stage, Kayal and Company breaks down Donald Trump’s confident posturing at the G7 summit in Evian, France, where world leaders are reacting to the historic 60-day ceasefire deal with Iran. We analyze JD Vance’s media blitz defending the agreement against hyper-partisan news outlets that are actively recirculating IRGC talking points. The crew evaluates how the opening of the Strait of Hormuz effectively dismantles OPEC, paving a prosperous highway for Pennsylvania energy sectors. We also examine Vance's rapid political rise, his deep faith-centered book, and the endless speculation surrounding a potential 2028 presidential run while he prepares for a highly anticipated, high-stakes panel confrontation.Finally, we track the immediate, chaotic fallout from that media appearance on ABC. We react to the audio of JD Vance completely dismantling biased narratives pushed by Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, and Joy Behar. The discussion turns intensely local as we dissect Whoopi's incoherent rambling regarding a federal judge blocking Trump's order to revamp a worn-out slavery exhibit right here on Independence Mall. We cap off the morning reacting to Dom Giordano’s fiery preview of local towns like Mount Holly completely surrendering to fear by canceling their historic July 4th festivities instead of implementing common-sense security.
President Comments On The Iran Conflict. Dr. Josh McConkey On Health Concerns. Issues At The Pentagon. Dr. Michael Busler Talks The Price Of Oil And The Economy. Haven't Heard From Nikki Haley In A While And Melania Trump Proposing A New Savings Account For Foster Children
Dawn Stensland welcomes Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters live in studio for a wide-ranging conversation about the political fight ahead in Pennsylvania and across the country. Gruters discusses the GOP’s strategy to hold the House and Senate, the importance of competitive races involving Congressman Ryan Mackenzie and Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, and why Pennsylvania remains one of the most important battlegrounds in America.Dawn and Gruters also dig into election integrity, affordability, gas prices, school choice, and the Republican Party’s message to working families. Gruters lays out the RNC’s focus on voter confidence, poll watching, lawsuits, and ground-game operations, while Dawn presses him on how Republicans can better reach voters in Philadelphia, the collar counties, and communities frustrated by crime, education failures, and rising costs.Later, Dawn reacts to the latest headlines, including President Trump’s comments on a possible Iran deal, the tragic killing of Penn State student Billy Schmitt, the return of the flesh-eating screwworm threat to U.S. livestock, and the media’s coverage of Washington, D.C. cleanup efforts. Plus, Dawn and the crew lighten things up with debates over folding pizza, fast food, long showers, and the eternal question: McDonald’s or Burger King?
Mollie Hemingway joined Dawn Stensland, with Linda Kerns also part of the conversation, to discuss Hemingway’s new book on Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and his role in reshaping the modern Court. The interview began with Linda sharing a personal story about reading Hemingway’s book Rigged to her father near the end of his life, which led into a broader discussion about election integrity, Pennsylvania, and Linda’s role in helping Hemingway understand the legal and political battles surrounding the 2020 election. Hemingway then explained why she wanted to write about Alito, describing him as a quiet but enormously influential justice whose originalist approach has helped restore constitutional limits and move the Court away from decades of left-wing judicial activism. Much of the conversation focused on the Dobbs decision, the leak of the draft opinion, threats against conservative justices, media bias, and Hemingway’s argument that the left has struggled to accept losing control of the Supreme Court. The interview also covered Alito’s Philadelphia and New Jersey roots, his lifelong Phillies fandom, the state of journalism, America’s 250th anniversary, Hemingway’s Grand Ole Opry backup-singing appearance, and her unexpected side hobby as a successful matchmaker.
Chief Pat Molloy joined Dawn Stensland to discuss community policing, police recruitment, youth outreach, and his upcoming swearing-in as president of the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association. Dawn praised Molloy as one of the community leaders working on real solutions, and Molloy credited his department, local civic groups, the NAACP, the Police Athletic League, and Abington’s broader community for helping build a strong relationship between police and residents. He explained Abington’s “alphabet soup” of community policing programs, including Cops and Kids Together, PAL, youth aid panels, mental health co-responders, and diversion efforts designed to keep young people from entering the criminal justice system unnecessarily. Molloy also discussed the recruitment crisis in law enforcement, saying applicant numbers have dropped sharply since the George Floyd era and that departments must work harder to show young people that policing is still a noble profession. The interview closed with a positive discussion of Philadelphia, with Molloy praising Commissioner Bethel and Mayor Cherelle Parker for rebuilding morale, improving training, and helping the city’s police department move in a better direction and Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia joined Dawn Stensland on New Jersey primary day for a wide-ranging conversation about voter turnout, New Jersey politics, Delaney Hall, immigration enforcement, special education, media bias, and the state’s public image. Fantasia began by discussing primary turnout and the impact of New Jersey eliminating the county line system, noting that the change has created a crowded Democratic field while Republicans still face an uphill battle statewide. The conversation then shifted to Delaney Hall, where Fantasia argued that the controversy was never truly about detention conditions but about activists and politicians opposing immigration detention and enforcement altogether. She criticized what she described as selective outrage from New Jersey Democrats, contrasting their focus on ICE with long-running problems inside state-run correctional facilities, women’s prisons, and special education services. Fantasia also raised concerns about thousands of unresolved special education complaints, criticized New Jersey’s fractured media market, and closed by emphasizing the beauty of the Garden State beyond the political chaos, pointing to its shore towns, mountains, lakes, forests, farms, and outdoor life.
Braun Strowman joined Dawn Stensland to promote the second season of Everything on the Menu with Braun Strowman, his USA Network food-and-travel series where he visits restaurants across the country and orders everything on the menu. Dawn and Braun discussed the show’s upcoming Philadelphia episode, including cheesesteaks, the city’s food culture, and the “Founding Feast” theme tied to America’s 250th anniversary. Braun talked about the surprise of being recognized not only as a WWE star, but now also as “the guy who eats everything on the menu,” including by viewers who did not know his wrestling background. The interview also touched on his size, travel challenges, his early days living out of a Kia Soul, and how Mark Henry helped him get discovered by WWE. Braun framed the show as more than a food program, saying food brings people together, creates memories, and helps people connect across backgrounds and Frank Scales and Ian McGinnis joined Dawn Stensland to discuss their firsthand coverage of the protests and unrest outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey. They described the scene as chaotic and lawless, arguing that the demonstrations were not peaceful protests but coordinated actions involving barricades, threats, helmets, gas masks, and attempts to obstruct federal law enforcement. Dawn asked about Governor Mikie Sherrill’s shifting response, including the decision to bring in New Jersey State Police and impose a curfew after repeated arrests and escalating behavior. Frank and Ian also discussed the role of outside agitators, the difference between daytime and nighttime protest activity, and the risk that left-wing groups were trying to manufacture another Minneapolis-style confrontation. Later in the conversation, they connected their reporting to broader concerns about sanctuary policies, media coverage, threats against citizen journalists, and the importance of social media in forcing stories into the public conversation.
Today, Dawn Stensland talks about President Trump’s endorsement tracker, Ken Paxton’s primary win in Texas, and the money fight Republicans now face heading into a Senate battle. Dawn also digs into Joe Biden’s lawsuit against the Trump DOJ to block the release of audio recordings from his conversations with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer for Promise Me, Dad. The question hanging over the whole segment: what is on those tapes, and could they show Biden’s decline earlier than the public was told?Dawn and Dan also honor David Yadgaroff after a major Philadelphia radio retirement sendoff, then the show takes a lighter turn with Dawn’s laundry confession. What starts as a simple chat about broken washing machines becomes an Andorra laundromat saga involving wash-and-fold, mani-pedis, pizza, tiramisu, Rita’s water ice, and Linda Kearns walking into the middle of it on-air.Dawn Stensland and Linda Kearns then move into the political and legal fights of the day: Paxton’s baggage, Biden’s ghostwriter tapes, Pam Bondi’s thyroid cancer diagnosis, and the stress of life inside the Trump orbit. The conversation then shifts to Philadelphia City Hall, where Sunrise Movement protesters are removed after demanding Mayor Cherelle Parker spend the city’s $1.1 billion surplus. Dawn, Linda, and Dan debate whether the money should go to schools, whether taxpayers deserve relief, and why Philadelphia keeps making it harder for businesses and families to stay.Dawn closes with more on the White House Cabinet meeting, Iran deal rumors, Karoline Leavitt’s absence during maternity leave, Rich Zeoli’s recovery, G. Love’s Lemonade tour, and why live local radio matters when the news keeps changing by the minute.
We start with New Jersey Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia, who reacts to the Memorial Day protest outside Delaney Hall and the videos of Senator Andy Kim caught in the crowd. Dawn and Fantasia talk about why the timing matters, how the media frames these confrontations, and why elected officials standing in the middle of an escalating scene raises major questions. Fantasia also gives us her view on New Jersey’s agriculture emergency after crop damage, the push for federal help, and the flaws she sees in New Jersey’s school funding system.Dawn then turns to local crime after a South Philadelphia father of three, German Corona, is beaten unconscious while walking home from work. We talk through the surveillance video, the possibility that he was targeted as a tipped worker, and why sanctuary city policies can make vulnerable people less likely to report crimes. The conversation then moves to Wildwood, where police shut down a social-media pop-up party at a short-term rental before it could take off during Memorial Day weekend.We also bring in Frank Scales from Surge Philly, who talks about William Small confronting Chris Rabb supporters, illegal immigration, Philadelphia’s wage tax, school failures, and why viral street reporting is forcing stories into the public eye. Dawn Stensland and Frank talk about threats against young reporters, masked protesters, Antifa, Newark’s ICE facility, and why social media has changed the way stories reach people. Dawn and Dan close with a debate over who gets to be called a journalist, why licensing journalism would be dangerous, and why the Pottstown house explosion still needs answers four years after a grandmother and four children were killed.

Dawn is happy to reveal that multiple children are now in custody in relation to the threat, with most information pointing to a false threat, a child making a joke, to which Dawn suggests they have the book thrown at them.

Jean Carroll.

Dr. Marty Makary joins us this morning. Pre-order his new book “Blind Spots” due out in two weeks. With kids going back to school today, should cellphones be allowed in the classroom? Dr. Makary gives his reasoning as to why they should not. Dawn pushes back as she thinks this is an overreach. How does the social media aspect factor into being on phones during class time? When does medicine get it wrong? A lot of times, they get it wrong with our food. What inspired Dr. Makary to write this book?
Will Thibeau joins Kathy this morning. The two discuss earning through merit instead of equity. What about the production of fentanyl from China? How is the FBI’s investigation of Tim Walz going?
Internet Personality and Comedian Tim Young joins the program to chat with Kathy about polling and to take your calls.
Beth Ann Rosica, author at Broad + Liberty, joins the program. As a citizen journalist, how does it feel to bring these various stories to light? Her latest piece focuses on the media bias towards RFK Jr. and how he shredded the media for not covering him. And what did Beth Ann find? That no outlets were publishing his speech! Go figure! How does his race relate to Ross Perot’s? Moving to immigration, where is the communication breakdown in tracking which illegal, and sometimes dangerous, immigrants are going? ICE and border patrol seem to be at odds. A year after Danelo Cavalcante escaped, Beth Ann wonders why he was in our taxpayer prison and not just deported, as he is an illegal immigrant. We wrap up with more media bias on immigration.
Republican candidate for PA Senate Dave McCormick joins us on this Thursday. We start by playing his new ad railing against Bob Casey and Kamala Harris’ incessant spending causing this inflation. What can we do to combat their crazy spending? Dave discusses the horrid media bias propping up legacy candidates and other bad candidates, but he doesn’t think Americans will continue to fall for the same tricks. Fossil fuels are a huge part of our future, especially as Pennsylvanians, for generations to come whether people like it or not. What does the future look like for our kids? Diet Coke okay?
1210 WPHT’s own Rich Zeoli joins the show today to discuss his takeaways at the DNC, with his main point being that Democrats are avoiding any talk about policy with any outlet. He compares it to a movie production where nobody asks what's going on behind the scenes. All Democrats are running on is “joy” and abortion. They also conveniently tucked all the DNC protestors in a nearby park, away from cameras. Is Doug Emhoff a dork or what? What color will Kamala wear for the acceptance tonight? 2 years ago today, Rich broke a local story and to this day we still have no answers. Byron Donalds future?
Guy Ciarrocchi of Broad + Liberty joins us again to discuss the faulty jobs report and how this isn’t just some small clerical error. Why is Kamala like Mary Poppins? Why can’t we get any explanation of where Kamala stands until January, way after the election? How bad are Kamala’s economic policies if WaPo is calling her out?
Classified Series Creator Kagiso Lediga & Star Christine Horn join the program to discuss their new series debuting on Prime. How did this show come to be?

André Béliveau, Senior Manager of Energy Policy at Commonwealth, joins us this morning to discuss the continuous flip-flopping Kamala Harris has done regarding her official policies. Andre hones in on her inconsistent energy policies and how that will impact Pennsylvania in the short and long term. She needs to understand what energy is to not only the Pennsylvania economy, but the national economy as a whole. Where do the draconian federal agencies fit into this equation? Well they wedge themselves between erecting power plants and energy mandates and regulations.
Leigh Richardson joins us to discuss a new study linking dementia to high cholesterol among other variants. As somebody who has dealt with brain issues in her personal life, Leigh speaks very openly and candidly on these types of issues.

Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith joins us today, one month after the Trump attempted assassination, to discuss the fallout and the subsequently released body cam footage that appears damning towards the Secret Service. Betsy is frustrated, yet vindicated watching these bodycam videos displaying that it was not the local police’s fault, but our own government. How much does the local support for the police weigh on the media coverage? Is Defund The Police still a thing? Yeah, just look at Biden, Harris, and Walz.
Hope Danoff of Republicans for Hope joins the program to discuss her program’s efforts in the keystone state, how the big local races are shaking out, and getting out the word of all the great things local Republicans are doing.
Kurt Couchman is senior fellow in fiscal policy for Americans for Prosperity, and he joins us this morning to breakdown the jobs report that tanked the economy and how Bidenomics is continuing to damage it. No budget in Congress leads to the reckless spending we continue to see, year after year. And nobody, whether it’s the media or the politicians themselves, holds them accountable. Kurt doesn’t think it’s appropriate to have mandates for the working class as to what kind of cars they can purchase.
Dr. EJ Antoni, Research Fellow in The Heritage Foundation’s Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, joins the program to give us a reality check on the economy. Why were interest rates so low for so long? What was the plan here? The Treasury is saying there is nothing alarming about the budget expenses, but acts otherwise. Is EJ calling this a recession? Fake news on EJ’s mother.

“Joe from Texas” Joe Penland, joins the program. Are you a history buff? Joe is and he goes around the country presenting people with the facts of the matter of this country and how we are all in big trouble if action isn’t taken, especially on the national deficit. How can we combat this gigantic problem? Well, it’s not going to be by adding jobs. Balance the budget! If it makes sense in Washington, it will never get passed. Nobody wants to “cut” social security, we want to fix it! Reagan’s social security

Caroline Sunshine, spokesperson for the Trump campaign, joins us this morning. We play audio from the mother of a slain veteran from the RNC. Kamala Harris creates a violence problem that she will never have to deal with as an elite. The huge disconnect comes from the lack of context in media clips supplied on news programs. What is the strategy for Trump to win? Do you care about Kamala’s VP?
Pastor John Amanchukwu joins us this morning as we take a call regarding DEI. Is DEI working? Pastor John says it’s insanity. Those who push this want no dissenting voices. Why is Christianity always the punching bag? Have you seen that Hawk Tuah girl? Taking another call. These people are marxists and they need to be stopped. Should politics and religion be mixed at all?
Web Show host and frequent fill-in host/ “Donald Trump” Shawn Farash joins the show. Kathy knows who Kamala will pick for VP, and Shawn agrees as well. They also discuss the controversy in Women’s Olympic boxing.
Continuing the convo with Shawn. DEI is such a scam, and if Democrats don’t want people talking about it, then get rid of it! Kathy’s friend Christian joins the DEI conversation. DEI has become the new tool of tyranny in terms of controlling language and narratives.
There are only truths in this life. Dr. Lauren Schwartz, board certified psychologist, joins us this morning. Why are children’s mental health so bad? Why the push for transgender procedures on minors? If these are the experts, and they reference their own research in their studies, we need to see some records as to the background of all this, especially from Dr. Rachel Levine’s office. WPath says there should not be age restrictions for gender affirming care.
Where is Joe Biden? Neurologist Dr. Jerry Williams joins the show to discuss his health. Kathy argues that if he’s unfit to run for President, then he cannot continue to serve as President. Jerry explains how he evaluates his patients for cognitive issues. What does Dr. Williams think of Joe Biden’s health?

PA Suburbs Guy, Guy Ciarrocchi returns to the program with Pat. Why do Democrats always seem to line up uniformly on issues, but Republicans still speak their mind? Why has populism seemingly taken over the Republican Party? Guy endorses Andy Reilly's word and gives an explanation on why they agree on McCormick’s chances. What will Shapiro’s nomination to VP swing PA blue?

A woman with a job, kids, and a grandkid who speaks the truth.

Guy details the BS narratives that this is the election of a lifetime as left wing media is still debating whether or not Trump really survived an assassination attempt.

TRUMP LATEST - 10:05 CHRISTINE FLOWERS JOINS DAWN LIVE! HER THOUGHTS ON THE NY TRUMP RULING..

LAUREN STEWART JOINS DAWN LIVE! Lauren Stewart is senior federal legislative liaison at Americans for Prosperity and Concerned Veterans for America.
LAUREN JOINS DAWN EXPANDING ON THE REALITY OF HEALTHCARE COSTS UNDER JOE BIDEN... AND THE IGNORED REALITY FROM THE WH ADMINISTRATION...
Lauren Stewart: “President Joe Biden is trying to rewrite his record on healthcare and hoping no one notices….“More Americans have healthcare today than under any other president, and it’s saving the American taxpayers money,” he claimed recently. He then said his political opponents plan to reverse his “accomplishments” and “take healthcare away” from millions of people….A neutral fact-checker would rate those claims “mostly false.””
Lauren Stewart: “Here are the facts on healthcare under Biden:
People are currently experiencing the single largest jump in medical expenses in nearly a decade.
Almost 75% of voters still worry about healthcare costs and unexpected bills.
Nearly 40% of people delayed medical care last year due to concerns about cost.
Sixty-eight percent of voters believe the healthcare system has major problems or is in a state of crisis.”
Lauren Stewart: “Biden’s biggest false claim? That his opponents in Congress don’t have any healthcare solutions and want to take the country backward. I talk to lawmakers and staff on Capitol Hill every day. There’s zero evidence to support the president’s claims….In fact, Congress is focused on bipartisan solutions that expand access to affordable healthcare. Congressional Republicans have introduced dozens of healthcare bills aimed at boosting price transparency, ending unfair billing by hospitals, and empowering lower-income people to control their healthcare dollars through health savings accounts — a measure that would save taxpayers close to $30 billion. Yet another GOP bill would even offer every person the option to obtain the care of their choosing through a generous, universal personal health credit worth $12,000 for a family of four….
These proposals would make healthcare more affordable, expand access, improve quality, and strengthen America’s health safety net, all while protecting taxpayers. And they’re popular with the voters Biden needs – independents, suburban women, lower- and middle-income families, and minorities. An issue that at one time may have been a weakness for Republicans is now a strength….Biden is pushing a narrative on healthcare that ignores reality. Moreover, it’s his own failed policies that have limited access and increased costs. And it’s the solutions at the heart of the GOP’s health agenda that will put patients in control of their healthcare.”

ELIZABETH STELLE OF THE COMMONWEALTH FOUNDATION JOINS DAWN LIVE! ELIZABETH JOINS TO SHARE SOME PERSPECTIVE ON TAX CUTS AND THE IMPACT ON FAMILIES IN THE KEYSTONE STATE...
Pa. Senate’s Proposed Tax Cuts Would Save Families $900 Per Year
SB 269 would reduce the Personal Income Tax and eliminate the Gross Receipts Tax on electricity.
Harrisburg, Pa., May 29, 2024 — Senate Bill (SB) 269 would slash taxes across Pennsylvania and save the average family of four $400 in fiscal year (FY) 2024–25 and $900 in FY 2025–26, according to the Commonwealth Foundation’s latest analysis. The legislation would cut the Personal Income Tax (PIT) rate from 3.07 percent to 2.8 percent beginning in January 2025 and eliminate the Gross Receipts Tax on electricity.
According to the Independent Fiscal Office (IFO), Pennsylvania’s working-age population will decline by 4.3 percent by 2030. Fewer working adults will support a growing number of seniors, resulting in lower tax revenues and higher costs for long-term care programs.
“Pennsylvania is facing a demographic crisis with a shrinking workforce that will severely strain the state's finances in the coming years,” said Elizabeth Stelle, director of policy analysis at the Commonwealth Foundation. “Enacting responsible tax cuts now is crucial to attracting and retaining jobs, empowering working families, and boosting economic growth.”
SB 269’s proposed 9 percent reduction to the PIT rate would improve Pennsylvania's ranking to the 10th lowest individual income tax rate in the nation. Eliminating the 59-mill Gross Receipts Tax on electricity sales would provide additional savings for families by removing a surcharge currently passed on to consumers.
“While Governor Shapiro's proposed budget increases spending, raises energy costs, and creates a structural deficit of more than $6 billion, the Senate Republican tax cut plan offers targeted tax relief to make Pennsylvania more attractive for workers and small businesses,” Stelle said. “Along with spending restraint, these tax cuts are vital first steps toward confronting our economic and demographic headwinds.”
The Commonwealth Foundation’s analysis also determined that Pennsylvania can further improve its economic standing by eliminating the startup penalty on small businesses. Enacting net operating loss reforms would encourage more business startups throughout the state.
Stelle continued: “For too long, Pennsylvania has been losing residents and jobs to other states with more favorable tax climates. SB 269 moves us in the right direction by letting working families keep more of their hard-earned money. The General Assembly should make these tax cuts a priority.”

A wide majority of retailer workers feel unsafe on the job.
Eighty-percent of retail workers are “scared every day” as they clock in for work, and 72% have experienced incidents in which staff couldn’t respond to a threat because their store was understaffed, according to the 2024 Retail Worker Safety Survey, conducted by Theatro by third-party platform Pollfish...
The survey included 600 in-store retail workers aged 18+ in the top 15 metropolitan areas across the United States. Read more.
For perspective on what can be done to make retail workers feel more secure, turn to a 29-year law enforcement veteran who now trains officers around the world.

Ambassador Francis Rooney represented Florida’s 19th Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives from 2017 to 2021. From 2005 to 2008 he served as the United States Ambassador to the Holy See, appointed by President George W. Bush and subsequently wrote a book about diplomacy and the US-Holy See relationship titled The Global Vatican.
He is a successful businessman who brought decades of private sector experience to government. From 1984 to 2005 he served as CEO of Rooney Holdings, Inc., a diversified group of companies engaged in construction, energy, real estate development, finance and electronics manufacturing.
One of the company’s subsidiaries is Manhattan Construction Company, which was founded in 1896 and is in the fifth generation of Rooney family management and ownership. Significant projects the company has built include the Presidential Libraries for both George H. W. Bush in College Station, Texas, and George W. Bush in Dallas, Texas; the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans football stadiums; the U. S. Capitol Visitors Center; the Walter Reed Army Institute for Research; and the International Terminal at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta, Georgia. The company is currently completing one of the few biohazard level four medical and research facilities for the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers at Fort Detrick, Maryland.
Phil Kerpen contends that this policy is contrary to law, and that the survival of internal combustion vehicles may depend on the outcome of the next national elections. Biden’s electric vehicle mandates are bad for America, but Michigan Congressman John James now has a bill that could block the mandates. Might you have some time to have Phil Kerpen on the show?
Phil Kerpen: “Michigan Congressman John James’s bill is the most significant effort yet in Congress to block Biden’s EV mandates and save internal combustion vehicles. It will put every member of the House and Senate on the record whether they think the Biden EPA should be allowed to ban 70% of gas car sales by model year 2032—and it is a privileged resolution that cannot be filibustered. It would force Biden to either back down or use his veto pen to defy bipartisan majorities in the House and Senate to deny consumers the cars and trucks they want—right before the election.”
Philip G. Kerpen is an American free-market policy analyst and political organizer. He is the president of American Commitment, a conservative 501 organization which he founded in 2012. He previously served for over five years as the vice president of Americans for Prosperity.

Study: Black people overwhelmingly want to maintain or increase police presence
According to Reason, a new study finds Black people overwhelmingly want to maintain or increase the presence of police in their neighborhoods.
The study, published in the Journal of Criminal Justice found Black Americans express robust support for maintaining—or increasing—police presence and spending.
"Our key finding was that Black Americans preferred to maintain (or increase) police patrol and spending..." write Linda Balcarová and Justin Pickett of the University at Albany, SUNY; Amanda Graham and Sean Patrick Roche of Texas State University; and Francis T.

Report: FBI violent crime data higher than reported
(Fox News)
An independent group of law enforcement officials and analysts claim violent crime rates are much higher than figures reported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in its 2023 violent crime statistics...
Through aggregated data sets directly from more than 70 of the nation's largest police departments and victim surveys, (The Coalition for Law Order and Safety's "Assessing America's Crime Crises: Trends, Causes, and Consequences" report) showed that due to significant under-reporting of certain crimes, the FBI's official data doesn't completely capture the full snapshot of crime in the U.S...
Sean Kennedy, one of the lead researchers... said that, particularly in the aftermath of the 2020 George Floyd riots, several police departments redefined the classifications for certain violent crimes and transitioned away from a decades-old recording system.
"If you classify something as an aggravated assault, it's a violent crime or a felony, but if you classify it as a simple assault, it's then a misdemeanor and a non-violent crime," Kennedy said. "That is a world of difference when it comes to how the media is going to portray whether or not your department is fighting violent crime."
However, the police are not the only ones appearing to under-report. Businesses and individuals who are victims of violent crimes have also shown a pattern of reluctance when it comes to calling the police. The Loss Prevention Research Council’s survey of retailers sheds light on the reasons behind the lack of reporting. The study shows that typically, business owners tend to harbor the belief that police will not respond promptly or investigate crimes, and prosecutors will not pursue charges against the perpetrators...
In 2019, 89% of municipal police departments – spanning about 97% of the population – submitted crime data to the FBI...
However, by 2021, less than 63% of departments spanning across 65% of the population submitted crime data. Several big cities – Los Angeles, New York City, and Chicago – did not submit crime data at all to the FBI last year...
This month, officials in the New Orleans Police Department announced they had under-reported sex crime data that was filed to the FBI in 2021 and 2022. In 2014, a Los Angeles Times investigation found that the Los Angeles Police Department had "systematically downgraded" serious violent crime offenses to minor offenses between 2005 and 2014.

College POSTS BAIL for pro-Hamas protesters
(Campus Reform)
Emerson College President Jay Bernhardt appeared to apologize for the arrests of anti-Israel campus occupiers in late April and said that staff members were sent to bail students out of jail.
According to Boston.com, 118 students were arrested during an anti-Israel encampment on the Emerson College campus during the early morning hours of April 25. They were charged with trespassing and disturbing the peace...
”We know that the events of that night were, and are, emotionally overwhelming for our entire community, especially for the students present at the protest and the staff and faculty who were on site to provide support,” said Bernhardt. “Emerson has continued to be supportive in multiple ways – sending staff to all the precincts and posting bail for arrested students, canceling and modifying classes so our community could process what had occurred, and providing additional care and support for our community to heal.”
Additionally, the college won’t bring campus disciplinary charges against the protesters related to the encampment and asked the district attorney not to pursue charges. Emerson College will also provide housing to out-of-town students who need to come back to Boston for court appearances.

The National Education Association (NEA), the largest labor union in the United States, recently released a poll question to thousands of educators that contained very clear antisemitic overtones. The NEA included the question within its May 2024 National Educator Survey. The poll question states:
Below are some statements about Joe Biden.
For each one, please indicate whether this statement raises very serious concerns, serious concerns, minor concerns, or no real concerns about Joe Biden.
Biden has given Benjamin Netanyahu billions of dollars in weapons, including 2,000-pound bombs that have killed tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza. He continues to support Israel's war in Gaza even though they've killed 14,000 children and babies and children are starving to death, according to the United Nations.

ELIZABETH STELLE JOINS DAWN LIVE!
ELIZABETH JOINS DAWN TO SPEAK ON THE STATE OF SCHOOL CHOICE IN THE COMMONWEALTH... LIFELINE SCHOLARSHIPS CATCHING ATTENTION NATIONWIDE - WSJ REPORT BELOW...
Wall Street Journal Editorial:
A School Choice Revival in Pennsylvania
The state Senate tees up legislation to provide scholarships.
Pennsylvania students trapped in the state’s worst-performing schools have another opportunity for scholarships following Gov. Josh Shapiro's reversal of his previous stance and veto of bipartisan budget legislation last year. The Pennsylvania Senate Education Committee, ahead of the 2024–25 budget negotiations in June, advanced Senate Bill 795 to establish Lifeline Scholarships, which refers to the program as the Pennsylvania Award for Student Success (PASS).
And, the Wall Street Journal, in a recent editorial, asks, "Will Gov. Josh Shapiro fold again?"
The Wall Street Journal writes:
The scholarships, worth several thousand dollars each, would let low-income students in poorly performing public schools switch to a private school. The funds—which would have their own appropriation, not taken from public schools—could also be used for “school-related fees” and special education services.
Gov. Shapiro’s veto message left room to revive them, and he repeated that in his budget address in February. The scholarships are “something I support and consider to be unfinished business” …
Polling from the Commonwealth Foundation in March found that 77% of registered voters in Pennsylvania support the scholarships. That includes 94% of black voters and 83% of those with income below $40,000. Pennsylvanians could use more options: In Philadelphia, 34% of students scored proficient in English Language Arts and 15% proficient in math on state tests …
Another good sign is a recent failed primary challenge against Democratic Rep. Amen Brown. Last summer Mr. Brown told a radio program, “we have to give our parents another option and leave it in their hands to choose where they want their child to go.” He defeated union-backed challenger Cass Green in April.
Time to use your political capital, Gov. Shapiro.

Pa. Senate Committee Advances Lifeline Scholarships for Students in Failing Schools
SB 795’s progress demonstrates the Senate’s commitment to educational opportunity.
Harrisburg, Pa., May 7, 2024 — Today, the Pennsylvania Senate Education Committee advanced Senate Bill (SB) 795, establishing Lifeline Scholarships for children in failing schools. Sponsored by state Sen. Judy Ward, the legislation passed with bipartisan support by a vote of 8 to 3, marking a crucial step toward providing more educational options and protecting vulnerable students throughout the commonwealth.
Commonwealth Foundation Vice President Stephen Bloom issued the following statement in response:
“The Commonwealth Foundation applauds Sen. Judy Ward and Senate leaders for their unwavering dedication to rescuing kids trapped in failing schools. Time and again, Senate Republicans have championed the belief that all children deserve access to a quality education, regardless of their income or zip code. Today is no different.
“The advancement of SB 795 represents a significant win in the ongoing fight for educational freedom. But more than that, this movement of the bill marks a crucial first step in state budget negotiations. This committee vote illustrates the Senate’s commitment to Lifeline Scholarships and the immediate relief the program would provide for students struggling in Pennsylvania’s worst-performing schools. These institutions continue to lag behind, despite school district revenue increasing by $37 billion last year alone—and 30 percent since 2013.
“The Lifeline Scholarship program would establish Education Opportunity Accounts for families to use toward tutoring, private school tuition, or other educational tools that best meet their kids’ individual needs. Among Pennsylvanians, the program is overwhelmingly popular. According to our latest polling, 77 percent of registered voters in the commonwealth support the proposal. Lifeline Scholarships also boast legitimate bipartisan backing, with Gov. Josh Shapiro, Senator Anthony Williams, and other Democrats voicing support for the program.
“Last budget, this bipartisanship nearly culminated in a compromise between Senate Republicans and Governor Shapiro—an agreement that would have enacted Lifeline Scholarships and protected many of our state’s most vulnerable children. But House Majority Leader Matt Bradford dashed those hopes by blocking the deal from advancing.
“Our kids deserve better. We now call on the full Senate to support this critical lifeline for Pennsylvania students. As the governor noted, budget negotiations ‘will need to be about scholarships that let poor families put their kids in the best position to succeed.’ The Commonwealth Foundation urges him to remain true to his word so that rescuing students from failing schools will no longer be considered ‘unfinished business.’”

Mark Caskey founded Steel Nation Buildings in 2008. As a resident of Western Pennsylvania, Mark followed the industry that cropped up in the region since the beginning of the Marcellus Shale boom. When he visited one of the first Marcellus compressor stations located near his office, Mark was appalled by the noise levels. Drawing upon his years of experience erecting steel buildings for the coal industry, Mark saw an opportunity to serve the oil and gas industry with specialty-designed steel buildings that are cool, quiet, and safe. Steel Nation Buildings was then conceived.
Mark Caskey is instrumental in leading the entire Design-Build process for Steel Nation. From the design of projects, through estimating, contract negotiations, scheduling and safety, Mark oversees the construction management of all energy-related projects. To date, Mark has lead the Steel Nation team in over 1,500 projects for all of the leading mid-stream, gas processing and transmission energy companies.

Vice President of the Commonwealth Foundation Steve Bloom joins Dawn LIVE!
COMMONWEALTH GROW PA BREAKDOWN...
Harrisburg, Pa., April 11, 2024 — Yesterday, Pennsylvania Sens. Scott Martin, Ryan Aument, David Argall, and Tracy Pennycuick and Reps. Jesse Topper and Rob Mercuri introduced “Grow PA,” a higher education reform plan designed to support post-secondary opportunities and career pathways in Pennsylvania.
Starkly contrasting Gov. Josh Shapiro’s “blueprint,” which still lacks detail and uses vague rhetoric on the issue, the lawmakers’ proposal presents a positive step in reforming how taxpayers fund higher education. The plan centers around student-based financial aid, institutional accountability, and workforce development for Pennsylvania’s in-demand industries.
Commonwealth Foundation Senior Vice President Nathan Benefield issued the following statement in response:
“The Commonwealth Foundation applauds these legislators for reframing how we fund higher education. In contrast to Governor Shapiro’s empty platitudes, the Grow PA proposal offers concrete, student-focused reforms.
“Grow PA funds students in all forms of higher education—from career and technical programs to community colleges to four-year universities—instead of offering a blank check to institutions. Rather than throwing money at buildings, bureaucrats, and blatant censorship, it focuses resources on the post-secondary studies that our commonwealth needs.
“Grow PA’s scholarship grants would make college degrees more affordable in high-demand fields, such as health care and agriculture. The proposal ties these funds to results and aligns programs with employer demands, helping students avoid debt and a degree that will never lead to a career.
“Grow PA represents an important step forward. But we mustn’t stop here. Lawmakers must move all state aid to student grants and improve K–12 educational outcomes—through educational choice programs like the Lifeline Scholarship Program—to ensure high school graduates are college-ready.”
Stephen (Steve) Bloom is the Vice President at the Commonwealth Foundation.
Steve grew up in New York, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. He earned his Bachelor of Science from Penn State University in Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology, and his Juris Doctor from the Dickinson School of Law. He became shareholder in a law firm, later founded his own solo practice, and is now Of Counsel with Irwin & McKnight, P.C., in Carlisle, Pa., where he resides. He was an instructor and lecturer at Messiah College, teaching courses in economics, business law and personal finance, and has served as a faculty member for Pennsylvania Bar Institute continuing legal education programs.
In 2010, Steve was elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, where he served four two-year terms. In 2018, he entered a competitive race for the U.S. Congress, finishing a strong third among eight candidates in the Republican primary.

JORGE VELA JOINS DAWN LIVE! JORGE JOINS DAWN TO EXPAND ON THE LATEST LEGAL UPDATES... TRUMP TRIALS AND WHAT'S NEXT... PARENTS HELD ACCOUNTABLE IN MICHIGAN - IS THIS A PATH FORWARD? LATEST ON HARVEY WINSTEIN... TRIED AGAIN? ALL PROMPTS BELOW...
(AP) — The parents of a Michigan school shooter were each sentenced to at least 10 years in prison Tuesday for failing to take steps that could have prevented the killing of four students in 2021.
Jennifer and James Crumbley are the first parents convicted in a U.S. mass school shooting. They were found guilty of involuntary manslaughter after prosecutors presented evidence of an unsecured gun at home and indifference toward the teen’s mental health.
Ethan Crumbley drew dark images of a gun, a bullet and a wounded man on a math assignment, accompanied by despondent phrases. Staff at Oxford High School did not demand that he go home but were surprised when the Crumbleys didn’t volunteer it during a brief meeting.
Later that day, on Nov. 30, 2021, the 15-year-old pulled a handgun from his backpack and began shooting at the school. Ethan, now 17, is serving a life sentence for murder and other crimes...
The couple had separate trials in Oakland County court, 40 miles north of Detroit. Jurors heard how the teen had drawn a gun, a bullet and a gunshot victim on a math assignment, accompanied by grim phrases: “The thoughts won’t stop. Help me. My life is useless. Blood everywhere.”
Ethan told a counselor he was sad — a grandmother had died and his only friend suddenly had moved away — but said the drawing only reflected his interest in creating video games.
The Crumbleys attended a meeting at the school that lasted less than 15 minutes. They did not mention that the gun resembled one James Crumbley, 47, had purchased just four days earlier — a Sig Sauer 9 mm that Ethan had described on social media as his “beauty.”
His parents declined to take him home, choosing instead to return to work and accepting a list of mental health providers. School staff said Ethan could stay on campus. A counselor, Shawn Hopkins, said he believed it would be safer for the boy than possibly being alone at home.
No one, however, checked Ethan’s backpack. He pulled the gun out later that day and killed four students... and wounded seven other people...
The judge, over defense objections, allowed the jury to see excerpts from his journal.
“I have zero help for my mental problems and it’s causing me to shoot up the ... school,” he wrote. “I want help but my parents don’t listen to me so I can’t get any help.”
Asked about Ethan reporting hallucinations months before the shooting, Jennifer Crumbley, 46, told jurors he was simply “messing around.”
At the close of James Crumbley’s trial, the prosecutor demonstrated how a cable lock, found in a package at home, could have secured the gun.
“Ten seconds,” McDonald said, “of the easiest, simplest thing.” Read more.
Will these sentences be upheld if challenged in court? If so, does this set a precedent that other parents of school shooters could be sent to prison?

Rob Dunn: Director of A Taste of Life on Curiosity Stream joins Dawn LIVE!
Every living thing must solve an equation. How much nitrogen to eat, how much
sodium, how much phosphorus, etc. The body solves that equation by taste and
flavor -- by making living things crave what they need. Our appetites are linked
to nutritional requirements. Taste: The Flavor of Life, a new docuseries on
Curiosity Stream, explores the world of taste and how deliciousness unites us
with the rest of animals in surprising ways.
For example -- Organisms need salt for their cells to function properly. If a food
has salt, the taste receptor sends a signal to the brain, creating pleasure. The
umami taste receptor rewards animals for finding nitrogen, an element that’s
essential for building proteins and genes. Sweet taste receptors encourage
animals to find foods with enough sugar to fuel their daily activity. Taste: The
Flavor of Life traces the impact of taste from animals’ first steps on land to top
Michelin star restaurants!
Taste: The Flavor of Life comes from biologist Rob Dunn and is inspired by his
book Delicious – The Evolution of Flavor and How It Made Us Human (co-written
by Monica Sanchez). A Professor at NC State University, Rob leads the Public
Science Lab, a group of scholars from diverse disciplines who work to make new
discoveries about daily life. His research has been awarded more than ten
million dollars in grants from more than twelve different sources for work in 20
different countries. An avid writer, Rob has published many articles in National
Geographic, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal among many others,
as well as seven books including The Wild Life of Our Bodies and A Natural
History of the Future.

ANDRE BELIVEAU OF THE COMMONWEALTH FOUNDATION JOINS DAWN LIVE! Senior Manager of Energy Policy at the Commonwealth Foundation. - ANDRE JOINS TO BREAKDOWN THE EPA RULE THAT WILL HURT PA RESIDENTS, AND ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF FEDERAL OVERREACH...
EPA’s Latest Carbon Emissions Rule Is a Raw Deal for Pennsylvanians
New federal regulation would devastate Pennsylvania’s energy industry, increase electric bills, and undermine energy reliability.
Harrisburg, Pa., April 26, 2024 — The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) unilaterally issued a final rule establishing draconian carbon dioxide emission standards, targeting coal and new natural gas power plants. The rule, submitted this week to the Federal Register, would require 90 percent carbon capture for power-generating facilities—a change that will drastically raise Pennsylvanians’ electricity costs and destroy the state’s natural gas industry.
Commonwealth Foundation Senior Manager of Energy Policy André Béliveau issued the following statement in response:
“The EPA’s final rule is another excessive radical scheme to emerge from the current administration with sweeping federal overreach." Yet another consequence of policies imposed by unelected bureaucrats, the rule aims to effectively shut down the fossil fuel industry.
“Pennsylvanians deserve access to affordable and reliable energy, but the EPA’s decision threatens their ability to keep the lights on and properly heat their homes. Alongside Governor Shapiro’s harmful Pennsylvania Climate Emissions Reduction Act (PACER) and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), this EPA rule will wreak havoc on the state’s economy.
“The Keystone State is the nation’s second-largest natural gas producer and the largest energy exporter. As such, Pennsylvania is uniquely vulnerable to bad energy policies intended to undermine our abundant natural gas resources. Whether those policies come from Harrisburg or Washington, DC, the impact is the same: our families and businesses pay the price.
“Natural gas accounts for nearly 60 percent of Pennsylvania’s electricity generation—and despite what progressives would have you believe, natural gas has reduced our state’s overall emissions." Data from the Independent Fiscal Office (IFO) shows that, from 2022 to 2023, Pennsylvania successfully reduced CO2 emissions by 10.8 percent year-over-year—the largest decrease since the 1990s. All the while producing even more reliable power. How? Transitioning from coal to natural gas for power. The EPA's rule threatens to upend this positive trend and artificially shift the market toward more unreliable sources.
“Policymakers should remove regulatory barriers preventing our energy industry from continuing to provide reliable, increasingly clean power. It shouldn’t hamstring our state with onerous, job-killing regulations. Additionally, our congressional delegation should advance the REINS Act, a policy supported by 79 percent of Pennsylvania voters that would boost accountability and transparency in the Federal regulatory process.
“Pennsylvania must be free to develop the optimal mix of energy sources at the lowest possible cost while ensuring reliability and investing in innovation. That is the path to prosperity.”
André Béliveau is the Senior Manager of Energy Policy at the Commonwealth Foundation.
André has extensive public policy experience. His work includes energy policy, elections law, redistricting, separation of powers, Second Amendment policy, regulatory reform, economic policy, and various elements of social policy. He is a member of the American Enterprise Institute Leadership Network and an alumnus of the State Policy Network Generation Liberty Fellowship and the E.A. Morris Fellowship for Emerging Leaders.
He holds an MA in Government with an honors thesis from Johns Hopkins University and a BA cum laude in History from Marist College. His academic expertise spans various topics, including American political development, American conservatism, political thought and history, governance, social and cultural studies, and intellectual history.
Prior to joining the Commonwealth Foundation, André worked for the National Taxpayers Union Foundation as its policy and outreach manager, as a policy advisor in the North Carolina General Assembly, and for the John Locke Foundation as the strategic projects and government affairs manager—where he concurrently serves as a visiting fellow.
Outside his professional life, André enjoys competition shooting, traveling, hiking, camping, antiquing, playing the bagpipes, and cheering on the Carolina Hurricanes. A native of upstate New York, he resides in Washington, DC.

BETSY EXPANDS ON THE STATE OF PROTESTS AT COLUMBIA - UCLA - PENN - HARVARD - AND OTHERS NATIONWIDE... POLICE FIGHTING BACK? UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA SHOWING THE BLUEPRINT? BETSY ALSO SHARES HER THOUGHTS ON THE TRAGEDY THIS WEEK IN CHARLOTTE NC...
BETSY REPLIES TO THE BELOW PROMPTS:
29-year law enforcement officer on campus protests
29-year police veteran on officers shot in Charlotte
Police hiring increases for first time since before pandemic
Charges dropped against 46 arrested at pro-Palestinian protest
(Morning Brew)
Turmoil continues to engulf US college campuses coast-to-coast. Late last night, police entered Columbia University’s campus and removed pro-Palestinian demonstrators who had occupied an administration building roughly 20 hours before. Violent clashes also broke out overnight between pro-Palestinian protesters and counter-protesters at UCLA. Read more.
AP: At least a dozen people have been arrested at the... University of Wisconsin... as police removed tents erected by protesters...
(Officials at The University of Texas at Austin are preparing) for an expected large protest Wednesday on the main lawn where demonstrations resulted in more than 100 arrests over the past week.
(AP) — Several officers on a task force trying to serve a warrant in a suburban Charlotte, North Carolina, neighborhood were shot Monday afternoon, police said.
Officers from several agencies in the U.S. Marshals Task Force were carrying out the operation in a suburban neighborhood when “a subject” began firing at them and multiple officers were shot, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said in a post on X...
Nearly two hours after the shooting started, police said the scene was still unsafe and promised an update with more information “as soon as the situation stabilizes.” Read more.
WSOC-TV: The number of people shot and the nature of their injuries was not immediately known.
(AP) — Police departments across the United States are reporting an increase in their ranks for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic and... George Floyd's death... which led to a historic exodus of officers, a survey shows.
More sworn officers were hired in 2023 than in any one of the previous four years, and fewer officers overall resigned or retired, according to the 214 law enforcement agencies that responded to a survey by the Police Executive Research Forum, or PERF.
As more and more officers left, many of the departments had to redeploy stretched resources by shifting officers away from investigative work or quality of life issues such as abandoned vehicles or noise violations to handle increases in crime and, in some cases, the shortages meant slower response times or limiting responses to emergencies only, police officials say...
The survey shows that while small and medium departments had more sworn officers than they did in January 2020, large departments are still more than 5% below their staffing levels from that time, even with a year-over-year increase from 2022 to 2023.
The survey also showed smaller departments with fewer than 50 officers are still struggling with a higher rate of resignations and retirements.
(KUT Radio)
Charges have been dismissed against 46 people arrested at a protest Wednesday on (University of Texas) Austin's campus, Travis County Attorney Delia Garza said.
"Legal concerns were raised by defense counsel, we reviewed each case individually and agreed there were deficiencies in the probable cause affidavits," she told KUT in a text. "The Court affirmed and ordered the release of the individuals."
Nearly 60 people were arrested for allegedly trespassing during the pro-Palestinian demonstration. Garza said her office would continue to review cases to determine whether prosecution "is factually and legally appropriate..."
The protest, organized by the Palestine Solidarity Committee, was met by a multiagency show of force. State police responded by request from UT President Jay Hartzell and Gov. Greg Abbott, who characterized the protest as violent and anti-Semitic.
Officers from the Austin Police Department, UT Police and the Department of Public Safety attempted to clear the university's south lawn. Dozens of protesters were arrested for criminal trespassing, a misdemeanor akin to loitering, or disorderly conduct, which is also a misdemeanor. Read more.
Will this embolden protesters to be even more disruptive?

VICTORIA COATES JOINS DAWN LIVE - FORMER DEPUTY NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR TO PRESIDENT TRUMP - UPENN ALUM...
Hundreds of college students have been arrested across the country over violent anti-Semitic protests, with Columbia University and the NYPD unable to guarantee the safety of the school’s Jewish students. And that’s not even mentioning U-Penn President Liz Magill’s prior resignation over her anti-Semitic congressional testimony.
But all isn’t lost. Victoria Coates—U-Penn alum and former deputy national security advisor to President Donald Trump—is joining the University of Pennsylvania Alumni Free Speech Alliance to push back against the assault on freedom of expression on college campuses. Toward the goal of creating brave spaces for open dialogue, she led an in-depth conversation on contemporary national security issues ranging from Russia, to the CCP, and the conflict in the Middle East.
America’s national security and the crisis in the Middle East
What’s happening at universities and how to restore freedom of speech and civility on campus.
Pennsylvania’s role in securing America’s energy future and the danger posed by the Biden administration’s sweeping new energy regulations.
Former deputy national security advisor to President Donald Trump, Victoria Coates is Vice President of the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation. With decades of experience as a national security advisor in Congress, federal agencies, and the White House, Coates leads the Davis Institute in designing and promoting policies that prioritize the security of American citizens while protecting our interests around the world.
In 2007, Coates left academia to become the director of research in former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld’s personal office. Coates then joined then-Governor Rick Perry’s primary campaign for president as senior advisor. In 2013, Coates became senior national security advisor for U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX). In the Senate, Coates oversaw planning, strategy, and communications for Cruz’s participation in writing the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
When President Donald Trump was elected in 2016, Coates joined his transition team for the National Security Council staff, eventually becoming special assistant to the president and senior director for strategic communications. Coates assisted in establishing the NSC communication strategy, coordinated NSC policy related to the Middle East Peace Process, and supported the development of the December 2017 National Security Strategy. In 2019, Coates was promoted to Deputy Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Advisor for the Middle East and North Africa, overseeing the Maximum Pressure Campaign against Iran and initiating the negotiations for the Abraham Accords.
In early 2020, Coates transferred to the Department of Energy to advise Secretary Dan Brouillette on national security issues and act as his personal representative in the Middle East and North Africa. At the conclusion of the Trump administration, Coates became the director of middle eastern programs at the Center for Security Policy, then a distinguished fellow at the American Foreign Policy Council.
Coates holds a bachelor's degree from Trinity College, a master's degree from Williams College and a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania, all in art history.

ANTI ISRAEL ACTIVISTS CHANTING - DEATH TO AMERICA
MIGRANT PROBLEMS FOR HOME DEPOT
LA SENDING LESS OFFICERS TO CALLS...
(New York Post)
Anti-Israel activists were heard chanting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” at a rally in a Michigan city recently dubbed the “jihad capital” of the US.
The sick chants erupted at a rally Friday in Dearborn marking Al Quds Day, in which Muslims around the world denounce Israel, according to a video posted by the Middle East Media Research Institute.
They came after Dearborn activist Tarek Bazzi ripped the US for supporting Israel — and told the crowd that “the chant ‘Death to Israel’ has become the most logical chant across the world today.
“Imam Khomeini, who declared International Al Quds Day, this is why he would say to pour all of your chants and all of your shots upon the head of America,” Bazzi said of former Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini as chants of “Death to America” started.
“It’s not Genocide Joe that has to go,” he continued, referring to President Biden.
“It’s the entire system that has to go.”
Bazzi said that “any system that would allow such atrocities and such devilry to happen and would support it — such a system does not deserve to exist on God’s Earth. Read more.
How concerning is this?
(New York Post)
A New York Home Depot has deployed a guard dog — and other stores may be close behind — to protect shoppers from aggressive migrants and thieves flooding their parking lots, The Post has learned.
Two men wearing MSA Security caps and bulletproof vests with a German Shepherd in tow patrolled the Home Depot in New Rochelle on Tuesday...
The guarded New Rochelle lot was quiet and no migrants loitered there when The Post visited this week, however, seven miles away in Throggs Neck, The Bronx, at least 30 male migrants hovered at the doors of Home Depot.
Some were day laborers simply trying to “shape” for work with local contractors.
But many others aggressively confronted shoppers, trying to sell them phony Apple Airpods or soliciting tips for lifting items from shopping carts into cars — even when uninvited.
“You come out and you’re a woman by yourself, they literally leech onto your wagon, and you’re like ‘No, I don’t need any help,'” one worker said. “And when they’re following you to your car, it’s unnerving.”
She said a female supervisor saw one of the men washing his privates with a water bottle in the lot, and that several women have called customer service to complain that migrants robbed them of purses or phones.
She’s seen the number of grifters in the lot swell as the migrant population in New York City explodes.
“I came to work one day and there had to be 100 guys out here,” she said. “And I’m like, ‘Oh, my God!...'”
Customers frequently complain about the crush of migrants, said LaurieAnn Masciocco, who works in the store’s customer service department.
“It’s come to the point where they’re invading personal space, touching people’s belongings, just harassing,” she said. Read more.
(Los Angeles Times)
Los Angeles officials — eager to ease the city’s reliance on police officers for handling nonviolent mental health emergencies — have launched a new pilot program that sends unarmed civilians with training to respond to such calls.
Modeled after a heralded program out of Oregon, city officials said the so-called Unarmed Model of Crisis Response has two teams of mental health practitioners available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for situations that would typically fall to police, such as conducting welfare checks and responding to calls for public intoxication and indecent exposure.
The program, run by the office of the city administrator, is so far operating in three police divisions... with plans to evaluate its performance after a year and potentially expand...
The program is based on the “Cahoots” model, named for a Eugene, Ore., nonprofit widely considered the gold standard in mobile crisis intervention. The program, started in 1989, today handles about 20% of the mental health calls for the city of around 180,000 by dispatching teams of specialists trained in counseling and de-escalation...
In New York, officials cited staffing and training issues as reasons why a Cahoots-style pilot fell short of its goal of rerouting at least 50% of mental health calls away from police. Read more.
Does it make sense to send trained civilians instead of law enforcement officers on mental health calls?
For perspective, turn to a 29-year law enforcement veteran who now trains officers around the world.
Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith (Ret.) is spokesperson for National Police Association, a non-profit that supports law enforcement officers across the U.S. Betsy began her career as a police dispatcher at age 17 and has held positions in patrol, investigations, narcotics, juvenile, hostage negotiation, crime prevention, K-9 and field training. She has been a law enforcement trainer for over 20 years.

Aizaz Gill, candidate in the GOP Primary in the 172nd District joins Dawn LIVE!
GILL JOINS DAWN TO SHARE PERSPECTIVE ON WHAT HE WOULD OFFER VOTERS IN THE 172ND DISTRICT...
WHAT ARE CITIZENS IN THIS REGION CONCERNED MOST ABOUT?
ESPECIALLY FOLLOWING THE TRAGIC SEPTA SHOOTING THAT MADE NATIONAL HEADLINES....
PER HIS WEBSITE -
Aizaz Joseph Gill’s life has revolved around the core value of service to America, our communities, and our people - something instilled in him throughout his upbringing in Northeast Philadelphia after his parents immigrated to Pennsylvania from South Asia when he was nine years old.
Whether at St. Cecilia, Father Judge High School, or Chestnut Hill College, where he earned his bachelor’s degree, Aizaz was schooled in the value of helping others - and chose to follow that path in his professional life upon graduation from college.
Gill spent years working for City Commissioner Al Schmidt (now Pennsylvania’s Secretary of the Commonwealth) as a Community Outreach Coordinator where he spearheaded outreach efforts to educate voters on the use of a new voting system in Philadelphia, battled misinformation as a frontline election worker, and strategically engaged community, local, state and federal institutions to collaborate on voter outreach and education. He was the first multilingual Asian-American hire for the Philadelphia City Commissioners, helping usher in more language accessibility
Gill previously served as the Pennsylvania Policy Director for Business for America, a corporate alliance dedicated to strengthening democracy and facilitating a healthy business climate to foster job creation for American families. In that role, Gill’s focus was to build coalitions with business leaders to expand a multifaceted education and advocacy campaign centered around developing civic engagement, increasing political stability and reducing polarization.
Most recently, Gill served as manager for Philadelphia City Councilman Brian O’Neill’s re-election campaign, helping develop the strategy and infrastructure that led to the incumbent’s landslide victory this past November.
Gill’s work helping our families extends beyond the professional. Along with giving time and energy to local charities, he currently serves as president of the Burholme Townwatch and Civic Association.

According to Business Insider, new research indicates remote workers may regret fleeing big cities for cheaper rural communities.
We've heard a lot about how the mass migration has been bad for major cities, sending them into a "doom loop" of empty offices and shuttered storefronts. But a new paper coauthored by Enrico Moretti, one of the best thinkers on the geography of jobs, highlights the dangers the migration poses for the very professionals who are ditching big cities. Moving away from a major city, Moretti found, can be terrible for your career.
Moretti, an economist at the University of California at Berkeley, followed workers whose companies shut down between 2010 and 2017. How people fared after that depended on where they lived. Those who lived in small labor markets were less likely to find a new job within a year than those in large labor markets. To get back on their feet professionally, those in small markets were more likely to be forced to relocate for employment. They were also more likely to settle for a role that was misaligned with their college degree, or in an entirely different industry.
"The big takeaway is that market size matters," Moretti says. "It's clear that larger markets improve the quality of the match..."
Let's say you're a coder specializing in AI. You're far more likely to find a job in San Francisco than you are pretty much anywhere else in the world, because there are a lot of AI-related companies there. And it's because AI specialists flock to San Francisco that AI businesses set up shop there in the first place. That's how cities become hubs for particular industries, like finance in New York and fashion in Paris. And that's why people put up with all the downsides of cities — because it increases their odds of growing their careers. Moretti's new paper confirms that when it comes to jobs, geography is destiny.
At first it seemed as though the pandemic had rewritten that rule. With the rise of remote work, professionals thought they could afford to leave their expensive cities without a risk to their careers. If you moved to Des Moines and wound up losing your job, you could just stay put and get another work-from-home gig. Your house might be in Iowa, but your job market was still back in California or New York.
Over the past year, more and more employers have stopped hiring for remote roles. The market for WFH jobs has cratered, putting everyone who moved away from big cities at risk. If they wind up getting laid off or they outgrow their current role, living in a smaller job market is going to severely limit their career options. As Moretti's paper shows, they'll either (1) wind up unemployed for a long stretch, (2) be forced to settle for a local job they're overqualified for, or (3) have to make an abrupt and costly move back to the big city they abandoned.
Moretti characterizes being in a large labor market as "insurance" against future shocks. Living in a big city isn't just about having a good job right now. It's what sets you up for success to land your next job — and the job after that. Those who moved away from big cities effectively gave up their career insurance.
Is Moretti correct that fleeing a city is risky for remote workers?

Employers that don't share pay ranges in a job posting may lose out on talent from soon-to-be and recent graduates.
According to a new survey of recent and upcoming US post-secondary and recent graduates, 85% reported they are "less likely to apply for a job if the company does not disclose the salary range in the job posting."
That's according to Adobe's Future Workforce Study. The December survey, conducted with Advanis, included just over 1,000 respondents who were US post-secondary students and recent graduates. Read more.

According to Men's Journal, a new survey finds work-related stress is leading to an abnormally high rate of breakups and divorces, with 71 percent of respondents reporting that work stress caused a personal relationship to end...
The findings were part of the sixth annual workplace mental health trends report published by the meditation and mindfulness app Headspace. The company partnered with Dimensional Research to survey over 2,000 employees in the United States and U.K., as well as over 200 CEOs and 245 Human Resources leaders.

The number of women in senior corporate leadership has grown every year since S&P Global started tracking gender parity among executives in 2006. That is, until last year. In 2023, women lost C-suite positions across publicly traded firms, with their representation dipping below 12%. Read more.
What's driving this trend?
According to Morning Brew, enrollment in trade schools is skyrocketing.
The number of students enrolled in vocational-focused community colleges increased 16% from 2022 to 2023, according to data from the National Student Clearinghouse.
The number of students studying construction at two-year undergraduate programs rose ~12% since 2021.
Why? Four-year schools used to seem like the most straightforward path to a high salary, but with their costs going up, they also lead to a lot of debt. Meanwhile, a shortage in skilled workers has driven up workers’ earnings: Median pay for construction workers rose more than 5% last year to $48,089, compared to $39,520 for new hires in professional services (like accountants and IT workers), according to payroll provider ADP.
Plus…software can’t repair a leak in your roof (yet). In a recent survey, the majority of young people said blue-collar jobs seemed more secure than white-collar ones amid developments in generative AI technology that could render some jobs obsolete.
How can parents help their college-age kids decide if college or a trade/vocational school is the best option? And what skilled trade jobs will still be viable in twenty years?
Julie Bauke (rhymes with NOW-kee) can offer advice. She is Founder and Chief Career Strategist with The Bauke Group. Julie also worked for 16 years in HR. She is the author of the book, Stop Peeing On Your Shoes: Avoiding the 7 Mistakes That Screw Up Your Job Search.

FBI Director Christopher Wray is set to warn Congress on Thursday of his concerns over potential bad actors carrying out attacks on U.S. soil...
"Our most immediate concern has been that individuals or small groups will draw twisted inspiration from the events in the Middle East to carry out attacks here at home,” Wray is set to tell the House Appropriations Committee, according to a transcript of his opening statement obtained by ABC News. "But now increasingly concerning is the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland, akin to the ISIS-K attack we saw at the Russia Concert Hall a couple weeks ago." Read more.
The Independent: The 22 March attack on a concert hall in suburban Moscow was the deadliest in Russia in 20 years. A branch of the Islamic State militant group claimed responsibility
Daily Mail: (Wray) will say the 'greatest terrorism threat' to the U.S. is 'posed by lone actors or small cells of individuals who typically radicalize to violence online.'
The number of domestic terrorism investigations over the past four years has 'more than doubled,' primarily racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists (RMVEs) and anti-government and anti-authority violent extremists (AGAAVEs), Wray will tell Congress.
At the end of fiscal year 2023, the FBI was conducting 2,700 investigations within its domestic terrorism program and 4,000 probes with its international program.
For perspective on the challenge this presents to law enforcement, turn to a 29-year cop who now trains officers around the world.

NATE BENEFIELD OF COMMONWEALTH FOUNDATION JOINS DAWN LIVE!
NATE EXPANDS ON THE RECENT COMMON GROUND POLL RESULTS - https://www.commonwealthfoundation.org/common-ground-poll/
The juxtaposition between the lack of support for Shapiro’s budget proposal (29%) and the massive support for his unfulfilled campaign promises—like Lifeline Scholarships (77%), lowering the business tax rate (81%), and regulatory reform (89%)—to be one of the most fascinating findings in the poll. Looks like Shapiro has his priorities a little backward.
Nathan (Nate) Benefield is the Senior Vice President at the Commonwealth Foundation.
An Ohio native, Nate holds an undergraduate degree in political science and economics and a master’s degree in public service management from DePaul University in Chicago. He also completed his doctoral studies (ABD) in political science at Loyola University, also in Chicago.
Nate joined the Commonwealth Foundation in 2005. Now as senior vice president, he provides strategic leadership as well as operational oversight spanning policy analysis, government relations, marketing, and communications.
Nate has researched and written extensively on public policy issues including the state budget, public sector labor reform, government spending and taxes, liquor privatization, education, and economic development. Under Nate’s policy leadership, the Commonwealth Foundation’s work on public sector pension law helped drive the bipartisan pension reform of 2017, heralded by the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post as an example for other states to follow.
Nate has testified numerous times before state legislative committees and is often called upon by legislators and members of the media to provide expertise. He is a frequent commentator on both television and radio, and his writings have appeared across the state and nationally in outlets including the Philadelphia Inquirer, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Patriot-News, and Weekly Standard.

Dr. Ben Carson joins Kathy sitting in for Dawn! Dr. Ben & Kathy Barnette discuss the state of the nation nationally, finding support for grassroots movements, & if Americans are waking up on all sides of the aisle.
For a time, the likelihood of Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D. fulfilling his childhood dream of becoming a physician seemed unlikely. Growing up in a single parent home with dire poverty, poor grades, a horrible temper, and low self-esteem appeared to preclude the realization of that dream until his mother, with only a third-grade education, challenged her sons to strive for excellence. She observed successful people and encouraged her sons to emulate their behaviors, including reading. This led to behavior changes which had a profound effect on their education. In 1973, Ben Carson graduated from Yale University. He went on to receive his M.D. from the University of Michigan Medical School.
At the age of 33, Dr. Carson became the chief of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, making him the youngest major division director in the hospital’s history. This would be among an extensive list of outstanding firsts for Dr. Carson. Dr. Carson’s accomplishments have earned him a place in medical history. He performed the first and only successful separation of craniopagus (Siamese) twins joined at the back of the head in 1987. He also performed the first fully successful separation of type-2 vertical craniopagus twins in 1997 in South Africa. In his career, Dr. Carson became a professor of neurosurgery, oncology, plastic surgery, and pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and directed pediatric neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center for over 29 years. He became the inaugural recipient of a professorship dedicated in his name in May 2008. He is now the Emeritus Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D. and Dr. Evelyn Spiro, R.N. Professor of Pediatric Neurosurgery, having retired on June 30, 2013.
Congressman Scott Perry joins Kathy Barnette LIVE - Breaking down his perspective on the Border, and the National Security of all Americans nationwide...
Scott Perry brings a distinct background of hard work, small business and military leadership, and community involvement to the U.S. House of Representatives.
Perry earned the privilege of serving as the Congressman from Pennsylvania’s 4th Congressional District (York, Adams & part Cumberland Counties) from 2013-2017. He earned re-election to the newly-redistricted 10th District (Dauphin County and parts of Cumberland and York Counties) in 2018, and presently serves on the U.S. House Committees on Transportation & Infrastructure, Oversight, and Foreign Affairs. Perry was an early Member and recent Chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, whose mission is “to give a voice to countless Americans who feel that Washington does not represent them. We support open, accountable and limited government, the Constitution and the Rule of Law, and policies that promote the liberty, safety and prosperity of all Americans.”
Perry served three terms in the Pennsylvania State House (2006-2012), where he established a record for protecting Taxpayers’ rights and interests, and served on the Committees on Appropriations, Consumer Affairs, Labor Relations, Veterans Affairs, Emergency Preparedness, and Rules.
Perry knows the importance of hard work and dedication. He’s the grandson of Colombian immigrants, and the son of a single mom who fled abuse, and worked several jobs to survive and support her children – with whom she finally landed in Central Pennsylvania in their first home in Harrisburg on Berryhill Street, then to Dillsburg. Scott and his family were on public assistance for several years during his youth. He was raised in a spartan home (for several years with no electricity and plumbing), bathed in a steel tub on the porch, pumped water from a well, and cut firewood with his older brother to keep the family warm in winter.

NATE BENEFIELD JOINS DAWN LIVE! - NATE SPEAKS ON THE NEW CAMPAIGN FROM THE COMMONWEALTH FOUNDATION PUSHING TO HELP PA STUDENTS AND MOVE AWAY FROM FAILING SCHOOLS...
Commonwealth Foundation Launches Billboards Spotlighting Need for Lifeline Scholarships
Campaign urges Pennsylvanian parents to help rescue kids from failing schools.
Harrisburg, Pa., April 1, 2024 — The Commonwealth Foundation today launched several digital billboards across Philadelphia promoting the Lifeline Scholarship Program that would allow students to escape Pennsylvania’s lowest-performing schools. Kicking off an ambitious awareness campaign, the ads urge parents to visit LifelineScholarships.com to explore the potential of the program’s proposed Educational Opportunity Accounts (EOAs) for their kids.
The three digital billboards will run for the next 12 weeks at major locations along I-76, I-676, and the Schuylkill Expressway in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Multiple other billboards have slated launches in the Pittsburgh, Wilkes Barre/Scranton, and Harrisburg areas.
"Every child deserves access to an excellent education," said Erik Telford, the senior vice president of public affairs at the Commonwealth Foundation. "Lifeline Scholarships empower families to do just that by allowing education funds to follow the student. Parents get to choose the schools that best meet their kids' needs."
Lifeline Scholarships, proposed by the state legislature last year, would establish EOAs for students trapped in schools ranked in the bottom 15 percent of the state’s educational institutions. In these failing schools, fewer than 10 percent of students test proficient in math, and just 25 percent reach proficiency in English.
"Too many kids are currently trapped in failing schools. Lifeline Scholarships would provide parents $10,000 to send their child to a better and safer school,” Telford stated. "We want to make families aware of the transformational impact of Lifeline Scholarships so that when they become available, parents can take advantage of the new opportunity to secure their children’s future."
Funded separately from existing education formulas, Lifeline Scholarships would not impact public school budgets. Though Gov. Josh Shapiro vetoed the legislation in August 2023, the latest polling reveals a strong majority of Pennsylvania voters (61 percent) believe the governor should enact Lifeline Scholarships.
Visit LifelineScholarships.com to join the growing coalition demanding real choice and educational freedom in Pennsylvania.

DEAN CLANCY JOINS DAWN LIVE! DEAN EXPANDS ON HIS LATEST OP ED FROM THE HILL - BREAKING DOWN THE REALITY OF BIDENOMICS WITH RISING COSTS IN ALL AREAS INCLUDING HEALTHCARE...
Biden touts health care wins, but Bidenomics is driving health care costs higher - VIA THE HILL...
Dean Clancy: “In his recent state of the union address, President Biden hailed his health care accomplishments, boasting that this year a record 20 million Americans signed up for health insurance through Affordable Care Act health plans….What the president failed to mention is that average premiums for these plans have more than doubled since 2014. And average deductibles — the amount you must pay before your insurance kicks in — are up nearly 60 percent….Does that sound affordable?”
Dean Clancy: “A recent report showed almost 75 percent of voters still worry about the cost of health care and being able to afford unexpected medical bills. And some 40 percent of Americans delayed medical care last year due to concerns about cost….The ugly truth is, it’s getting harder to find an affordable health care arrangement that fits our unique needs, and harder to find a doctor in our insurance network. These problems stem from, and reinforce, the root cause of today’s medical inflation: over-reliance on third parties like insurance companies, employers, and government programs. Ninety percent of health care today is paid for through third parties. Third parties, not patients, call the shots.”
Dean Clancy: “One is Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas). His Health Care Fairness for All Act (HR-3129) would offer every American under 65 a generous annual personal health credit to use for health insurance and medical expenses, as they see fit. The credit would be worth $4,000 for an adult and $2,000 for a child. That’s $12,000 for a family of four with two kids. People could use the money to choose the mix of coverage that’s right for them….Another pair of lawmakers — Reps. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) and Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) — have come up with a clever way to give people of limited means more options while reducing wasteful transfers to insurers, saving taxpayers an estimated $30 billion over a decade. Their ACCESS Act (HR-5608) would give millions of lower-income Americans a chance to have a tax-free Health Savings Account that’s pre-funded with money that would otherwise have gone to a health insurance company. This “HSA Option” would give them more money for health care, and importantly more access to medical items and services — and trusted doctors — their insurance doesn’t cover.”
Dean Clancy: “We can fix much of what’s broken in health care by funding patients — not third parties like insurance companies. It’s time to empower Americans with more control, more affordability, and above all more personal options.”
Dean Clancy is a senior health policy fellow at Americans for Prosperity and a nationally known health care freedom advocate with more than twenty years’ high-level policy experience in Congress, the White House, and the U.S. health care industry. He is an architect of AFP’s Personal Option plan to give every American simple, affordable health care for life through more choice and control

BETSY BRANTNER SMITH OF THE NATIONAL POLICE ASSOC JOINS DAWN LIVE! BETSY EXPANDS ON BOTH REPORTS BELOW - ONE FOCUSED ON THE PHILADELPHIA POLICE DEPT. LOWERING STANDARDS TO GET MORE EMPLOYEES... AS WELL AS THE NYPD TELLING NY LEADERSHIP TO SKIP THE FUNERAL... ARE WE AT A CROSSROADS FOR POLICE SUPPORT? STEPHANIE DILLER SPEAKS OUT...
(AP) — Faced with gaping vacancies in its police force and concerns about public safety, the Philadelphia Police Department had to think creatively about how to get more candidates in the door. The answer? Fewer pushups.
The city’s move to lower requirements for the entry physical exam at its police academy is part of a broader effort nationally to reevaluate policies that keep law enforcement applicants out of the job pool amid a hiring crisis.
To close the gap, policies on tattoos, previous drug use, physical fitness and college credits are all being reconsidered. Los Angeles is offering housing subsidies. Other departments, like Washington, D.C., are offering signing bonuses of more than $20,000. Several states have expanded eligibility to noncitizens, while others have changed the minimum age of officers to 18. Read more.
Will these changes help solve the nation's law enforcement shortage? How risky is it to lower standards?
(Fox News)
The NYPD's Sergeants Benevolent Association (SBA) sent a damning letter calling out far-left Democratic leaders in New York City for their anti-police and soft-on-crime policies and telling them to stay away from the funeral of slain Officer Jonathan Diller.
The 31-year-old father died Monday after a violent ex-con with 21 prior arrests allegedly shot him in the stomach when police approached the car where the suspect was sitting in the passenger seat.
"I’m sure that many elected officials will attend PO Diller’s funeral, shed a few crocodile tears, and prominently seat themselves for a good photo opportunity," SBA President Vincent Vallelong wrote in a letter to union members. "The sad reality is we don’t want them there..."
Vallelong said he found it infuriating to see city politicians who have supported movements to "defund" police and let criminals out of jail posting politically motivated condolences on social media.
"Their presence is more than a distraction," Vallelong continued. "It is a stain on the legacy of a true hero who made the ultimate sacrifice, as well as the scores of dedicated and committed public servants who will carry on his mission despite their constant criticism, cynicism, negativity, and frivolous accusations." Read more.
For perspective on this, turn to a 29-year law enforcement veteran who now trains officers around the world.
Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith (Ret.) is spokesperson for National Police Association, a non-profit that supports law enforcement officers across the U.S. Betsy began her career as a police dispatcher at age 17 and has held positions in patrol, investigations, narcotics, juvenile, hostage negotiation, crime prevention, K-9 and field training.

LEIGH THEN ALSO EXPANDS TO THE REPORTS AROUND CELL PHONE USE AND DEPRESSION SPECIFICALLY AROUND YOUNG PEOPLE...
According to Deseret News, recent research indicates religious people are happier than non-believers.
The book, “Handbook of Religion and Health...” (reviews) 326 articles on the relationship between health and measures of “religiosity and subjective well-being, happiness, or life satisfaction,” finding that 79% of those studies reported that religious people were happier, while only 1% reported that they were less happy (the rest found no or mixed findings).

The U.S. hit an all-time low ranking in the annual World Happiness Report, tumbling eight spots to 23rd...
The big picture: A steady supply of studies has found that Americans feel glum about issues ranging from loneliness to the economy and the country's political leadership.
It's the first time since the report launched 12 years ago that the U.S. did not rank among the world's 20 happiest countries.
Between the lines: Gallup, whose data powers the World Happiness Report, pointed to "Americans under 30 feeling worse about their lives" for the steep drop.
Today's young people report feeling less supported by friends and family, less free to make life choices, more stressed and less satisfied with their living conditions, Lara Aknin, an editor of the report, told Axios.
People under 30 today also feel less confident in government and have increased perceptions of corruption, she added.
The report also found that older people are now happier than young people in North America — the opposite of many other regions...

Something went suddenly and horribly wrong for adolescents in the early 2010s... Rates of depression and anxiety in the United States... rose by more than 50 percent in many studies from 2010 to 2019. The suicide rate rose 48 percent for adolescents ages 10 to 19. For girls ages 10 to 14, it rose 131 percent...
The problem was not limited to the U.S.: Similar patterns emerged around the same time in Canada, the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, the Nordic countries, and beyond. By a variety of measures and in a variety of countries, the members of Generation Z (born in and after 1996) are suffering from anxiety, depression, self-harm, and related disorders at levels higher than any other generation for which we have data.
The decline in mental health is just one of many signs that something went awry. Loneliness and friendlessness among American teens began to surge around 2012. Academic achievement went down, too. According to “The Nation’s Report Card,” scores in reading and math began to decline for U.S. students after 2012, reversing decades of slow but generally steady increase...
What happened in the early 2010s that altered adolescent development and worsened mental health...?
Those were the years when adolescents in rich countries traded in their flip phones for smartphones and moved much more of their social lives online—particularly onto social-media platforms designed for virality and addiction. Once young people began carrying the entire internet in their pockets, available to them day and night, it altered their daily experiences and developmental pathways across the board. Friendship, dating, sexuality, exercise, sleep, academics, politics, family dynamics, identity—all were affected. Life changed rapidly for younger children, too, as they began to get access to their parents’ smartphones and, later, got their own iPads, laptops, and even smartphones during elementary school. Read more.
Are smartphones to blame for these trends? If so, what's the takeaway for parents?

ELIZABETH STELLE OF THE COMMONWEALTH FOUNDATION JOINS DAWN LIVE!
Recent polling shows that 60% of PA voters are worried about the state's energy grid reliability—and for good reason.
According to our latest research, Pennsylvania urgently needs a plan to prevent future blackouts because our reserve margins are dangerously low. If we were hit with severe cold temperatures, widespread deadly blackouts would occur.
Here's how PA can prevent that from happening:
Focus on the worst-case scenarios.
Harden the present electric power infrastructure and natural gas supply system.
Maintain on-site fuel reserve power.

RETIRED SGT. BETSY BRANTNER SMITH OF THE NATIONAL POLICE ASSOC. - BETSY JOINS DAWN TO EXPAND ON THE STATE OF THE BORDER BOTH IN TX AND FL WITH THE VIRAL EL PASO VIDEO - AS WELL AS DESANTIS AND HIS CONCERN ABOUT HAITIAN MIGRANTS...
The State of Squatting... Police Confidence Dwindling Nationwide... Impact of Sanctuary Cities... Use of American Resources...
(AP) — Faced with gaping vacancies in its police force and concerns about public safety, the Philadelphia Police Department had to think creatively about how to get more candidates in the door. The answer? Fewer pushups.
The city’s move to lower requirements for the entry physical exam at its police academy is part of a broader effort nationally to reevaluate policies that keep law enforcement applicants out of the job pool amid a hiring crisis.
To close the gap, policies on tattoos, previous drug use, physical fitness and college credits are all being reconsidered. Los Angeles is offering housing subsidies. Other departments, like Washington, D.C., are offering signing bonuses of more than $20,000. Several states have expanded eligibility to noncitizens, while others have changed the minimum age of officers to 18. Read more.
Will these changes help solve the nation's law enforcement shortage? How risky is it to lower standards?
For perspective, turn to a 29-year law enforcement veteran who now trains officers around the world.
(Daily Express US)
A boat carrying 25 illegal aliens from Haiti has been intercepted in waters near Florida, according to the state's Governor, Ron DeSantis...
Officers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) were conducting a patrol near Sebastian Inlet at 7.30pm on Thursday, February 29.
They stopped a 42-foot vessel which was involved in what they described as a "human smuggling operation."
Investigators found onboard 25 individuals, including five unaccompanied children, alongside the weapons, night vision gear and drugs.
The vessel operator and a passenger - both identified as U.S. citizens - were turned over to Brevard County Sheriff's Office, according to the press release.
The suspected migrants - referred to as "illegal aliens" by DeSantis - were turned over to the state's Coast Guard for deportation.
The incident comes amid growing concerns about violent criminals from gang-ridden Haiti crossing into the US. Read more.

André Béliveau, Commonwealth Foundation’s senior manager of energy policy JOINS DAWN LIVE! ANDRE BREAKSDOWN THE LATEST COMMONWEALTH SURVEY WITH PA RESIDENTS..
A significant majority of Pennsylvania voters (80 percent) say their household energy bills have increased over the past two years, including 34 percent who say their bills have increased “a lot,” according to a new Commonwealth Foundation poll released yesterday. The statewide survey investigated voters’ attitudes toward various state and federal energy issues, finding that most Pennsylvanians (67 percent) say ensuring affordable energy is a higher priority than combatting climate change (33 percent).
Key findings from the poll include:
· Rising Energy Costs Are Top Voter Concern: Eight in 10 voters say their household energy bills have increased over the past two years, and more than two-thirds (70 percent) say they’re concerned about affording their family’s energy needs. Rising energy costs (63 percent) top the list as the most prominent environmental issue in Pennsylvania.
· Energy Affordability a Critical Policy Priority: Energy affordability remains a top priority ahead of the November elections, with 81 percent saying it is an important factor in deciding which candidates to support and 34 percent saying it is very important. Sixty percent are concerned “about the reliability of the Pennsylvania electricity grid and the possibility of blackouts.”
· Pennsylvanians Want Candidates Focused on Lower Costs: A 59 percent majority want candidates committed to lowering energy costs and using natural resources, compared to 41 percent who prioritize environmental protection.
· RGGI Opposition Grows after Cost Details: Only 22 percent initially supported the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) carbon tax. After learning that RGGI would raise electricity bills by 30 percent, a majority (63 percent) of those who initially supported or were undecided about RGGI said they would be less likely to support the initiative.
· No Appetite for Climate Change Costs: Two-thirds (67 percent) of Pennsylvanians are unwilling to pay to combat climate change.
“Pennsylvania voters have made it clear they prioritize energy affordability and reliability over climate alarmism,” said André Béliveau, Commonwealth Foundation’s senior manager of energy policy. “Likewise, Pennsylvanians overwhelmingly support economic freedom and oppose excessive government regulations and red tape.”
Andre Beliveau has extensive public policy experience. Prior to joining the Commonwealth Foundation, André worked for the National Taxpayers Union Foundation as its policy and outreach manager, as a policy advisor in the North Carolina General Assembly, and for the John Locke Foundation as the strategic projects and government affairs manager. He holds an MA in Government with an honors thesis from Johns Hopkins University and a BA cum laude in History from Marist College.

JULIE BAUKE OF THE BAUKE GROUP JOINS DAWN LIVE!! JULIE EXPANDS ON THE PROMPTS BELOW INCLUDING... MIDDLE MANAGERS PURGE IN CORPORATE AMERICA? WOMEN LANDING LESS PROMOTIONS AND BONUSES? DOLLAR GENERAL SHUT DOWN WHEN ENTIRE WORKFORCE QUIT - AN EXAMPLE ON HOW TO RESTRUCTURE BEFORE THINGS FALL APART? JULIE SHARES HER THOUGHTS ON IT ALL...
(Bloomberg)
Middle managers—defined as non-executives who oversee employees—make up almost a third of terminations, up from 20% in 2018.
In January, United Parcel Service said it would save more than $1 billion by slashing 12,000 manager jobs. Citigroup aims to eliminate 20,000 roles over the next several years.... And more might be coming; mentions of “operational efficiency” in the US hit the highest on record this earnings season, according to an analysis by Morgan Stanley. Read more.
How can middle managers tell that a layoff might be coming? What can they do NOW to protect themselves?
According to CNBC's Women at Work survey, fewer women are landing pay raises and promotions.
SurveyMonkey conducted the study from late February to early March among a sample of nearly 20,000 adults, about half of whom are women...
The most dramatic change from last year is that fewer women secured pay raises: just 39% this year, down from 44% last year. And 17% of women say their salary is actually lower than it was a year ago, up from 15% of respondents who reported a pay decline last year.
Women are facing setbacks not just in pay, but also with promotions. Eighteen percent of women — the same percentage as last year — said their career has experienced a setback, while 20%, just a hair below the prior year, said their career has advanced.
How can women approach their boss to land better pay and promotions?

A Dollar General store in Wisconsin was forced to briefly shut down after its entire workforce quit, citing seven-day work weeks and a “lack of appreciation.” Read more.
Daily Mail: Six staff members, including manager Trina Tribolet, at the Mineral Point store did not show up to open doors on March 9 and instead left a handmade sign saying they quit the night before.
Tribolet said that she had been working seven days a week for months because, as the manager, she was only allotted so many paid hours to give to her staff.
She also noted that the past weekend was her first break from work since Christmas.
'This is something we've been talking about the last couple months. Until Friday night when we walked away, this weekend was my first time off since Christmas,' the manager told Wisconsin TV station 9News.
While one sign at the front of the store read 'We quit!' another sign explained that the 'whole team has walked away due to a lack of appreciation, being overworked and being underpaid...'
Tribolet said that while there were many issues with the store, the “last straw” was seeing Dollar General throw an exorbitant amount of items in the trash despite touting that it donates items to the local community.
“We’re throwing away coffee that’s not expired but it’s close. Or you’re throwing out a box of Lucky Charms that you know there’s a whole world of kids who would love to eat those. But you can’t donate them out, because you’re supposed to throw them away,” Tribolet told Spectrum. “There have been tears that have been shed.”
Dollar General argued in a statement to Spectrum that it does work with Feeding America, but the organization has specific guidelines about what can be donated.
Feeding America’s corporate donation guidelines explicitly state that “food approaching expiration” is welcome.
Its website also lists canned goods as great donations, which Tribolet claims get thrown away at Dollar General, according to Spectrum.
“It’s sickening, and it’s saddening, especially for someone that has morals,” Tribolet told the outlet.
“If you’ve ever been at the bottom and never had anything, you know what it feels like to see items get thrown away. That could have gone to somebody that needed them.”
What's the best way for workers to respond if you feel your employer is mistreating you?

ATLANTA (AP) — Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis must step aside from the Georgia election interference case against Donald Trump or remove the special prosecutor with whom she had a romantic relationship before the case can proceed, the judge overseeing it ruled Friday.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee said he did not conclude that Willis’ relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade amounted to a conflict of interest. However, he said, it created an “appearance of impropriety” that infected the prosecution team...
The sprawling indictment charges Trump and more than a dozen other defendants with violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, known as RICO. The case uses a statute normally associated with mobsters to accuse the former president, lawyers and other aides of a “criminal enterprise” to keep him in power after he lost the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden. Read more.
Jorge Vela is uniqely qualified to discuss this. He is a criminal defense attorney and former federal prosecutor based in Austin.
He served as a felony prosecutor in Laredo, Texas where he prosecuted violent crimes, including aggravated robbery, aggravated assault, intoxicated manslaughter, aggravated kidnapping, murder, and solicitation of capital murder.

SECRET TO CURING YOUR DEPRESSION IS "RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSE"? WHAT SCENTS HELP TREAT DEPRESSION?
(Axios)
On Sunday, we "spring ahead" to daylight saving time, even though many sleep experts wish we wouldn't.
Why it matters: Members of health groups favor standard time over daylight saving time because they say it's more aligned with our body clocks...
What they're saying: "Research shows that the abrupt seasonal shift in time disrupts circadian rhythms, leading to sleep disturbances, increased fatigue and even a heightened risk of heart attacks and strokes," says James Rowley, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
He adds that right after the clocks shift in March, there's "a spike in workplace accidents, road accidents and medical errors due to sleep deprivation and cognitive impairment."
Zoom in: Daylight saving time begins at 2 a.m. Sunday, when clocks are set forward one hour.
How can we help our inner body clocks adjust to the time change?
Brain Health Coach and Consultant Leigh Richardson, PhD, can weigh in on this. Her initial focus was on organizational behavior. She shifted to human behavior in 2003 after her son suffered a traumatic brain injury. Leigh has also been in ICU twice with brain injury. All of this fueled her need to understand how the brain works or why it doesn’t work.
(Gallup)
For just the third time in more than two decades, less than half of Americans say they are “very satisfied” with the way things are going in their personal lives. The 47% of U.S. adults expressing high satisfaction with their lives has edged down three percentage points over the past year and is only one point higher than the 2011 record low for the trend...
However, some groups of U.S. adults are still registering majority-level high satisfaction with their lives, including higher-income, married, more religious, college educated, older Americans and Democrats...

This may seem corny — but if you are feeling overwhelmed by the non-stop pace of digital media and find yourself struggling to concentrate on a single task or thought, you may have “popcorn brain.”
“Popcorn brain refers to the tendency for our attention and focus to jump quickly from one thing to another, like popping corn kernels,” clinical psychologist Dr. Daniel Glazer told Metro UK last week...
Psychologist Dannielle Haig told Glamour UK last week that excessively scrolling and browsing through new posts, alerts, engagements, and advertisements triggers a small dopamine release that rewards the brain and fuels the cycle.
“Over time, this constant demand for attention and the rapid switching between tasks can lead to a feeling of mental restlessness or the brain ‘bouncing around’ as it struggles to maintain focus on any one task for an extended period,” Haig explained.
Research by the University of California at Irvine determined that the average attention span on any screen before switching to something else decreased from 2.5 minutes in 2004 to 75 seconds in 2012 to 47 seconds nowadays...
The constant digital stimulation appears to be affecting brain performance.
Research suggests that neural pathways in the brain “are being rerouted or adapted to accommodate the demands of multitasking and rapid information processing,” Haig says, which may come at the expense of being able to “engage deeply and thoughtfully with content, potentially impacting learning, memory, and emotional regulation over time.”
She warns that “popcorn brain” can negatively affect social interactions, patience, emotional well-being, and productivity while increasing anxiety and the potential for burnout. Read more.

The secret to curing depression is right under your nose, according to a new study.
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh learned that smells are more effective than words in evoking positive memories, which could help people with depression get out of negative thought patterns. Read more.
NBC News: The study included 32 adults with clinical depression. Participants were asked to sniff 24 odor samples from glass jars, which could be pleasant, neutral or unpleasant. The scents included orange, lavender, vanilla extract, cumin, whiskey, red wine, ketchup, cough syrup, disinfectant and shoe polish.
Participants were then asked to share a specific memory from their life in response to those cues. The researchers conducted the same exercise using 24 words that described each smell.
Around 68% of the participants could recall specific memories in response to the odors, whereas only 52% could recall specific memories after hearing words out loud. Memories triggered by smells were also more vivid than memories triggered by words.
How could this impact treating people who suffer from depression?
Brain Health Coach and Consultant Leigh Richardson, PhD, expands on all of this. Her initial focus was on organizational behavior. She shifted to human behavior in 2003 after her son suffered a traumatic brain injury. Leigh has also been in ICU twice with brain injury. All of this fueled her need to understand how the brain works or why it doesn’t work.

LGBTQ MAYOR ADVISOR CAUGHT IN CONTROVERSY WITH A STATE TROOPER - ISSUES AROUND BODY CAMS - SEPTA BUS SHOOTINGS TWO DAYS STRAIGHT - WHAT WILL GIVE TO FORCE SAFETY IN THIS CITY AND SHOW OFFICIALS TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY? BETSY ALSO EXPANDS ON THE REPORT BELOW...
(Fox News)
Austin, Texas residents are expressing outrage over police staffing shortages and longer 911-call response times in the aftermath of the city council's vote to defund the department in 2020.
In February, a section of the city was notably left without a single police officer for a few hours on a Saturday due to the ongoing shortages...
In 2020 following the Black Lives Matter riots, Austin’s city council voted unanimously to cut up to $150 million from its police department budget -- about 34% of its current total -- and reinvest the funds in other services. The following year, the Texas Legislature passed a law essentially forcing Austin to restore the funding, but the officer shortage persists...
Fraternal Order of Police Vice President Joe Gamaldi said council members who voted to defund the police, including now-U.S. House Rep. Greg Casar, D-Texas, don't "give a damn about the people in Austin."
"What the Austin city council did was horrific to the community," he told Fox News Digital." There is no one left to fill these shortages because the city council treats officers like scum. Now, responses are over 10 minutes for emergency calls. Some districts are left without staff. City council should learn their lesson over violent crime. 2021 was the highest ever for recorded murders and, since then, the murder rate continues to stay close to that high and looks like 2024 will not be any better. People are dying over bad decisions." Read more.
For perspective on this, turn to a 29-year law enforcement veteran who now trains officers around the world.
Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith (Ret.) is spokesperson for National Police Association, a non-profit that supports law enforcement officers across the U.S. Betsy began her career as a police dispatcher at age 17 and has held positions in patrol, investigations, narcotics, juvenile, hostage negotiation, crime prevention, K-9 and field training.

JULIE BAUKE JOINS DAWN LIVE!
Julie expands on the prompts below including workplace reports on....
Women & Age Discrimination
College Grad Job report - degrees leading to non educated pay?
Americans leaning into freelance? Due to the economy?
Gen Z ghosting job interviews and 1st shift?
WOMEN & AGE DISCRIMINATION IN THE WORKPLACE
According to a new survey by Women of Influence+, 77.8% of women have encountered age-related discrimination in their careers.
Conducted between January and February 2024, the survey received responses from more than 1,250 women across 46 countries, spanning various industries.
What should workers do if they feel they're being discriminated against because of their age?
COLLEGE GRAD JOB REPORT
According to The Wall Street Journal, 52% of college graduates have jobs that don't require a degree.
That is the key finding of a new study tracking the career paths of more than 10 million people who entered the job market over the past decade...
More than any other factor analyzed—including race, gender and choice of university—what a person studies determines their odds of getting on a college-level career track. Internships are also critical.
The findings add fuel to the debate over the value of a college education as its cost has soared—and whether universities are producing the kind of knowledge workers that employers say they need.
“You’re told your entire life, ‘Go to college, get a bachelor’s degree and your life is gonna be gravy after that,’” said Alexander Wolfe, 29 years old, a 2018 graduate from Northern Kentucky University who currently works security at a corporate facility in the Cincinnati area. “In reality, it hasn’t really helped me that much.” Read more.
What's the takeaway for high school students who are debating whether to go to college - and then what to major in? How can you make sure your degree will help you land a good first job that won't derail your earning potential?
AMERICANS PURSUING FREELANCE NOW MORE THAN EVER
According to Digiday, more Americans are pursuing freelance work instead of a full-time job.
Last year, one of the most buzzed-about trends was The Great Betrayal, defined by employees having grown to feel that workplace stability and employer loyalty are a fantasy, and that workers who bet on themselves and rent out their skills across a range of clients tend to be better off.
A recent survey of 1,000 knowledge workers by the members-only product builders network A.Team found that those sentiments are becoming even more entrenched following the recent wave of layoffs... leading many to go from merely complementing their full-time jobs with side gigs to ditching the staff job altogether.
Nearly three-quarters (73%) of those in the survey said recent layoffs in the news made freelance work more desirable than before, with more than 6 in 10 (64%) losing trust in the stability and security of full-time employment.
Among workers who have been furloughed, about half said they were searching for a job in the same field, while another one-quarter were pivoting to a new line of work. The remainder said they were switching to freelance or starting their own businesses.
What should you consider before starting your own business or relying on freelance work?
93% OF GEN Z GHOST JOB INTERVIEWS: 87% MISS FIRST DAY OF WORK
According to Fortune, a new survey finds Gen Z are treating their would-be employers like bad dates and not showing up for job interviews or their first day on the job without as much as a phone call.
Employment website Indeed surveyed 1,500 businesses and 1,500 working people in the U.K. and found that job ghosting is rife, with 75% of workers saying they’ve ignored a prospective employer in the past year.
But the youngest generation of workers are by far the worst offenders.
A whopping 93% of Gen Zers told the global recruitment platform that they’ve flaked out of an interview.
Worse still, a staggering 87% managed to charm their way through interviews, secure the job, and sign the contract, only to leave their new boss stranded on the very first day.
Their reason for doing so? According to the survey, it makes them “feel in charge of their career”.
How risky is this type of behavior? Could ghosting job interviews or failing to show up for the first day of work come back to haunt these young workers?
Julie Bauke (rhymes with NOW-kee) can weigh in on this. She is Founder and Chief Career Strategist with The Bauke Group. Julie also worked for 16 years in HR. She is the author of the book, Stop Peeing On Your Shoes: Avoiding the 7 Mistakes That Screw Up Your Job Search.

Nate Benefield, Senior VP at the Commonwealth Foundation joins Dawn LIVE! Nate expands on the recent Commonwealth report expanding on the Shapiro budget, and the deficit that PA residents could face long after Gov. Shapiro's stint as Governor...
From the report:
Gov. Josh Shapiro proposed a $48.3 billion 2024–25 General Fund budget, a $3 billion or 7.1 percent spending increase compared to last year’s ongoing general fund spending.
The proposal overestimates revenue growth and underestimates spending growth compared to projections from the Pennsylvania Independent Fiscal Office (IFO), meaning deficits under Shapiro’s plan may be even higher than projected.
Shapiro’s budget would balloon the structural deficit to more than $6 billion. His proposed series of startling increases and new initiatives would empty Pennsylvania’s checking account and illegally raid the Rainy Day Fund, necessitating a tax hike of more than $2,000 per family of four.
Pennsylvania’s aging population and the persistent, troubling outmigration of its working-age residents present long-term budgetary challenges for policymakers. Shapiro’s budget, as proposed, fails to address our economic competitiveness, exacerbating these trends.
Nathan (Nate) Benefield is the Senior Vice President at the Commonwealth Foundation.
An Ohio native, Nate holds an undergraduate degree in political science and economics and a master’s degree in public service management from DePaul University in Chicago. He also completed his doctoral studies (ABD) in political science at Loyola University, also in Chicago.
Nate joined the Commonwealth Foundation in 2005. Now as senior vice president, he provides strategic leadership as well as operational oversight spanning policy analysis, government relations, marketing, and communications.

(CBS News)
The suspect in the murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Hope Riley entered the U.S. illegally from Venezuela and had been previously arrested in New York, officials said Sunday.
The suspect, 26-year-old Jose Ibarra, was arrested by U.S. Customs and Border Protection on Sept. 8, 2022, after he unlawfully entered the U.S. near El Paso, Texas, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a statement.
Ibarra was released by U.S. border officials pending a review of his immigration case, ICE said. He was arrested a little over a year later, on Sept. 14, 2023, by New York Police Department officers and charged with acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17 and a motor vehicle license violation, according to the ICE statement...
The suspect was arrested again on Friday in connection with the murder of Riley after her body was discovered in a wooded area on the Athens campus of the University of Georgia, police said at a news briefing Friday...
ICE has requested to detain Ibarra if and when he's released from criminal custody so it can seek his deportation.
Riley, 22... died of blunt force trauma, Jeffrey Clarke, the police chief for the University of Georgia Police Department, said at the briefing. Read more.
Why was an undocumented immigrant allowed to remain in the United States after being arrested twice?
Recent data from Gallup shows the vast majority of Americans say their most recent experience with law enforcement was positive.
Overall, 77% of Americans say that their most recent interaction with a member of their local police force was a positive experience, 85% say they were treated fairly, and 84% say they were treated with respect. Read more.
Why is the public perception of law enforcement often negative if most Americans report having positive interactions with officers?
For perspective, turn to a retired 29-year law enforcement veteran who now trains officers around the world.

SPECIAL PODCAST SERIES PUTS JEWISH FUTURE FRONT AND CENTER
The Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History Partners with Tablet’s Unorthodox Podcast to Share Ideas from its 2023 Conference
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (February 27, 2024) – Today, Tablet’s Unorthodox podcast will launch a special six-part series, “Jewish Priorities: Life after 10/7,” in collaboration with the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History (The Weitzman) in Philadelphia.
The Weitzman’s Jewish Priorities Conference, held mere weeks after the horrific attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists, sought to kick off a global conversation and bring together some of the most distinguished Jewish leaders and thinkers worldwide in the U.S. for meaningful conversations about the future of the Jewish people, religion, identity, American Jews, the Holocaust, Israel, and many more topics.
Now, Unorthodox will air six of the most compelling sessions in its special series.
“Bringing these voices together during the most challenging time in recent history for Jews worldwide was a natural extension of the Museum’s mission to unleash the power of education as an antidote to antisemitism,” said Dr. Misha Galperin, President and CEO of The Weitzman. “With this podcast series, these ideas will reach a wide audience and become part of the worldwide conversation on the Jewish people, antisemitism, and Israel.”
The podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, TabletMag.com, or wherever you get your podcasts.
“Jewish history, if you think about it, is really just a series of contentious revelatory and absolutely essential conversations,” said Tablet’s Liebovitz. “These conversations became even more prescient after October 7, 2023, and with Jewish Priorities we have the privilege of hearing from some of the most astute and insightful thinkers out there. They may not always agree and they may not always have the answers but they ask all the right questions.”
Unorthodox is the universe’s leading Jewish podcast. Each week, hosts Stephanie Butnick, Liel Leibovitz, and Joshua Malina discuss Jewish people, news, and ideas.
The conference and subsequent podcast were inspired by the fall 2023 release of “Jewish Priorities: Sixty-five Proposals for the Future of Our People,” (Wicked Son) an anthology edited by David Hazony.
Established in 1976, The Weitzman is the only museum in the nation dedicated exclusively to exploring, preserving, and interpreting the nearly four centuries of American Jewish history from the dawn of our nation to the present day. The Jewish Priorities Conference, held October 22, 2023, signified a pivotal moment for The Weitzman, as it embraces the role of a nationwide leader and convener of Jewish thought leadership.
The Museum is building upon this thought leadership work in 2024 with co-presented antisemitism lectures series with University of Pennsylvania and Gratz College, an upcoming conversation with New York Times best-selling author Yossi Klein Halevi, and the nationwide effort it leads for Jewish American Heritage Month.
ABOUT THE WEITZMAN NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AMERICAN JEWISH HISTORY
Established in 1976, and situated on Philadelphia’s Independence Mall, the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History is the only museum in the nation dedicated exclusively to exploring and interpreting the American Jewish experience. The Weitzman presents educational programs and experiences that preserve, explore, and celebrate the history of Jews in America. Standing as a joyful bulwark against antisemitism, bigotry, and hate, The Weitzman serves to connect Jews more closely to their heritage and to inspire in people of all backgrounds a greater appreciation for the diversity of the American Jewish experience and the freedoms to which Americans aspire. www.theweitzman.org

CINDY ZIPF OF THE CLEAN OCEAN ACTION JOINS DAWN - LATEST IN THE LOCAL NJ WIND TURBINE PROJECT... CINDY EXPANDS ON THE RECENT APPROVAL AND WHAT IT COULD MEAN...
NJ hits reset on offshore wind, approves two massive projects - VIA EE NEWS BY POLITICO...
New Jersey was ground zero for offshore wind’s woes in 2023. Now, it’s a testing ground for the industry’s recovery.
New Jersey utility regulators awarded contracts Wednesday to a pair of the largest offshore wind projects ever planned in the United States. The two projects combined would generate enough power to supply 1.8 million homes and deliver an emissions cut equivalent to removing nearly 1.3 million cars from the road.
The decision by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities came on the heels of a Danish developer’s move last year to cancel two projects slated to serve the state. The cancellation dealt a major blow to Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy’s climate and clean energy goals and raised serious questions about the future of offshore wind in the United States.
Cindy Zipf uses her passion for science and advocacy to create campaigns and programs to drive public policy and reduce pollution. Since its beginning in 1984, she has been at the helm of COA, the lean, green, ocean pollution fighting machine that is the only full-time ocean advocacy organization dedicated exclusively to the NY and NJ region. She reviews and evaluates regional, state, and federal policies for impacts to marine water quality and, through science, research and education, works toward solutions for issues of concern.
Cindy is a graduate of the University of Rhode Island with a B.A. in Geography and Marine Affairs with a special emphasis in marine science. In 1984 the waters off the NY/NJ coasts were known as the “Ocean Dumping Capitol of the World”, and in response, the Coalition was formed and consisted of 20 organizations. As a founder and a staff of one, Cindy has expanded the coalition to over 120 organizations and a professional staff of ten full-time employees.

STEVE KRAKAUER - AUTHOR OF "UNCOVERED: How the Media Got Cozy with Power, Abandoned Its Principles, and Lost the People"
STEVE BREAKS DOWN HIS BOOK - THE REASONING BEHIND IT - AND THE STATE OF LEADERSHIP, POWER, AND THE INFLUENCE ON AMERICAN MEDIA... STEVE ALSO EXPANDS ON HIS EXPERIENCE AS MEGYAN KELLY'S EXECUTIVE PRODUCER - AS THEY CONTINUE TO SUCCEED WITH HER STRONG PERSPECTIVE AND OUTLOOK...
From the COVID lab leak theory to Hunter Biden's laptop to Jeffrey Epstein, media critic and former CNN producer Steve Krakauer spotlights the problems of a news industry filled with geographically isolated, introspection-free, egomaniacal journalists.
In Uncovered, America’s sharpest media critic, former CNN insider Steve Krakauer, reveals exactly what went wrong—and why the media went off the rails. The fourth estate is supposed to be a conduit to the people and a check on power. But instead, we have geographically isolated, introspection-free, cozy-with-power, egomaniacal journalists thirsty for elite approval.
Krakauer dives deep into some of the most egregious examples of the elite censorship collusion racket, like how tech suppression and media fear led to the New York Post-Hunter Biden email debacle before the 2020 election. Krakauer takes readers inside CNN after the shock Trump election, inside the New York Times after the Tom Cotton op-ed backlash, inside ESPN after the shift away from sports-only coverage, and more.
No one understands these problems (and people) better than Krakauer. He has spent years getting to know the most influential players in the industry and this fascinating book is what he’s learned. But most importantly, Krakauer equips readers with the crucial tools to sniff out when the press is lying or misleading the people of America in the future—so together, we can bypass them altogether.
"Steve Krakauer's new book, Uncovered, is vital reading. It's the best and most perceptive deep dive into legacy media bias out there, from someone who knows where all the bodies are buried." ― Ben Shapiro
"One of the most insightful critiques that has been published on this topic in years." ― Glenn Greenwald
STEVE BIO -
Steve Krakauer is a journalist and media critic who has worked at CNN, Fox News, NBC and TheBlaze.

PAUL H TICE JOINS DAWN LIVE - AUTHOR OF "THE RACE TO ZERO - HOW ESG INVESTING WILL CRATER THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM..."
Washington, DC—Over the past few years, so-called “sustainable investing”—a new practice based on the theory that environmental, social, and governance (or “ESG”) factors should drive corporate policy and investment decisions—has swept across Wall Street. Spurred on by the United Nations, national governments, and financial regulators, and cheered on by academics, environmental activists, and the media, the ESG orthodoxy has received little public resistance as it has integrated itself into almost every corner of the financial sector. By 2030, the iron curtain of sustainability will have fully cast its shadow across Wall Street.
In THE RACE TO ZERO: How ESG Investing Will Crater the Global Financial System (Encounter Books, February 20, 2024), Paul Tice—a 40-year Wall Street veteran and renowned critic of the ESG agenda—exposes how the practice of sustainable investing is truly a socialist ruse meant to undermine traditional shareholder capitalism while promoting a globalist agenda of climate hysteria, economic collectivism, and progressive social values. He argues that sustainable investing is a fraud being perpetrated on the financial markets that violates all the traditional rules and conventions of investing that were meant to protect shareholders while funding profitable goods and services preferred by consumers in a free-market economy and free society.
Paul Tice spent 40 years working on Wall Street and is author of the new book, THE RACE TO ZERO: How ESG Investing Will Crater the Global Financial System. He worked at some of the industry’s most recognizable firms, including JP Morgan Chase, Lehman Brothers, Deutsche Bank/Bankers Trust, and BlackRock. For most of his career, he specialized in the energy sector—both as a top-ranked sell-side research analyst and a buy-side investment manager—which has made him an expert in climate policy and environmental regulation as well as its financial off-shoot, the ESG and sustainable investment movement. In recent years, he has taught as an adjunct professor of finance at New York University’s Stern School of Business.

COURTLAND BRAGG JOINS DAWN LIVE - EMMY AWARD WINNING DIRECTOR AND PRODUCER AT NFL FILMS - COURTLAND BRAGG SHARES HIS THOUGHTS ON THE NEW PROJECT FOCUSED ON REGGIE WHITE - THROUGH THE FLAMES REGGIE'S CHURCH... THE UPBRINGING FOR REGGIE WHITE - TRIALS, TRIBULATIONS, AND STRUGGLES AS A MAN OF FAITH... THE REALITY OF HIS COMMUNITY IN KNOXVILLE...
ESPN Introduces a New Podcast
Investigating the Mysterious Burning of a Church Belonging to NFL Hall of Famer Reggie White
THROUGH THE FLAMES:
REGGIE’S CHURCH
Following a Popular ESPN 30 for 30 Episode on the Subject, the New Podcast Takes a Deeper Dive, Shining a Light on the Legacy of Reggie White
Speak with Emmy Award-Winning Producer/Director Courtland Bragg, the Man Behind Both Projects, About this Intriguing Story and the Hall of Famers Legacy
A recent installment of ESPN’s 30 for 30 series, “The Minister of Defense” (now streaming on ESPN+), chronicled the extraordinary career, complicated life, and profound spiritual journey of NFL Hall of Famer and Super Bowl champion Reggie White. Now, ESPN introduces a new podcast – Through the Flames: Reggie’s Church – which focuses on one unfortunate in White’s life – the mysterious 1996 burning of his church in Knoxville, Tennessee.
In the midst of a rash of mid-1990s church burnings across the United States, White’s Inner City Church boasts a growing interracial congregation, and after the building is firebombed and reduced to ashes, White believes the attack is the work of racists. The NFL legend and pastor uses his platform to maintain public pressure on the investigation, even as the sensitive nature of the crime causes government officials to tread carefully. As the story unfolds, questions are raised about the church’s financial status, along with the possibility of arson. The podcast brings the story to life through the voices of those involved with the church and the investigation – and in the process, draws a powerful parallel between these ugly incidents and the deeper challenges the nation still faces.
A three-time Emmy Award winner, Courtland Bragg is a Director and Producer at NFL Films, the film/television production company of the National Football League. In addition to co-directing the ESPN 30 for 30 “The Minister of Defense” and producing /hosting the Through the Flames podcast, Courtland was a director on multiple seasons of Hard Knocks for HBO, All or Nothing for Amazon and A Football Life for NFL Network.
REGGIE 30 FOR 30 POD TRAILER....
Watch Here!
an award winning storyteller, independent filmmaker and public speaker who's purpose is to be an inspiration to the world. After graduating with a degree in Communications from West Chester University, Bragg had aspirations of becoming the next big thing in broadcasting, but humility quickly set in. Being denied by 80+ jobs and internships, including NFL Films, Courtland’s life plan and trajectory seemed all but clouded.
and his student loan payments due, Bragg became a substitute teacher at his high school alma mater to help manage his financial responsibilities. Outside of the classroom, Courtland began directing, writing and producing stories on his own. He scraped up every dollar he could spare as a substitute teacher to finance his projects and invested more of his spare time into his passion of storytelling; the result was launching the digital anthology series entitled “Stories to Bragg About". Garnered the attention of thousands of online viewers but most importantly, NFL Films, who soon hired Bragg. Aside from producing enterprise stories for NFL fans across the world, Courtland dedicates his life to inspiring the next generation seeking guidance and direction in finding their dreams. As an inspirational speaker, he takes you through the journey from being a substitute teacher to becoming a 3x Emmy Award-winning Associate Producer. His message shares what it takes to break into the field of broadcasting, overcoming depression and finding one’s purpose. Courtland’s ultimate goal and passion is to share his testimony in hopes that it will inspire others and give them the assurance that their greatest successes will come when they trust their journey to becoming someone worth “bragging about."

KRISTEN LAPPAS - DIRECTOR GIANNIS: THE MARVELOUS JOURNEY - Emmy Award-Winning Filmmaker
Prime Video introduces the new documentary Giannis: The Marvelous
Journey, the definitive first-person account of NBA mega-star Giannis
Antetokounmpo’s odyssey from an impoverished childhood in Greece as the son
of Nigerian immigrants to the very top of the basketball world.
Before becoming one of the NBA’s most dominating performers (a two-time league
MVP who led the Milwaukee Bucks to a championship in 2021), Giannis’ path
began on the streets of Athens, where he was raised on the margins of society, by
parents who immigrated from Nigeria in search of a better life. After finding images
of NBA stars in an Internet café, Giannis picked up a basketball. From there
unfolded an epic journey, ultimately landing him in his adopted home of
Milwaukee, where he emerged as “The Greek Freak,” a superstar who transformed the game with his athleticism and versatility, all the while striving to use the memory of the loss he endured along the way to spearhead an impact far beyond the court.
Giannis: The Marvelous Journey features interviews with Giannis and his entire family as well as basketball luminaries Jason Kidd, Khris Middleton, Jrue
Holiday, Kenny Smith, Vin Baker Ernie Johnson and more. It marks the first time
the family has given first-person accounts on their collective journey.
Of Greek descent herself, Emmy Award-winning director Kristen Lappas visited
Greece many times in the making of this film, getting back to her own family
roots. The daughter of Steve Lappas (former basketball coach at both Villanova
and Manhattan College, and now an analyst for CBS Sports in New York), Kristen
produced eight installments of ESPN’s acclaimed 30 for 30 series, and directed
the 30 for 30 multi-part series Dream On about the 1996 gold-medal-winning U.S.
women’s basketball team. She won Emmys for her short sports docs Blackfeet
Boxing: Not Invisible and A Mountain to Climb and her short film Arthur w a s
adapted into a movie starring Mark Wahlberg and premieres in 2024

JULIE BAUKE OF THE BAUKE GROUP JOINS DAWN LIVE - JULIE REPLIES TO THE CNBC REPORTS ON CAREER BREAKS - HOW CAN WORKERS HANDLE A LAPSE IN A CAREER? WHAT SHOULD EMPLOYEES BE PLANNING FOR WITH THE FUTURE IN MIND?
(CNBC)
Bobbie Bain had been working at American Airlines for less than a year when she received devastating news.
Her son died.
She hadn’t worked long enough to qualify for unpaid family leave, she said. So she decided to quit.
“I worked my two-week notice that I barely remember,” she said. And “that’s that.”
Bain said it took about six months to recover, during which time she was caring for a sick family member.
“About the time I got my head squared back away, the pandemic came around and there was just no work anywhere,” she said. She said she starting applying for jobs when the airlines started hiring again. By that time, about two years had passed, she added.
“I started applying for jobs … but almost everybody said, ‘Well, what have you been doing?’” she said. “I don’t even know how to answer them.”
How common are career breaks?
Surveys show that most people have at least one event during their lifetimes that requires time off from work.
According to a LinkedIn survey of 23,000 workers in 2022, nearly two-thirds (62%) of employees have taken a career break at some point — and 35% would be interested in one in the future...
Thomas Baiter was laid off from Microsoft in late 2022, just as his father’s dementia was worsening.
“He lives alone, and my wife and I took on the responsibility of managing his care,” he said. “I can’t imagine the stress we would have been under if I’d try to do what we did for him while working 40-plus hours per week.”
When he decided to seek employment again months later, he wondered whether he should disclose his time off.
In CNBC/Milieu’s survey, only half of respondents who took a career break said they disclosed it on their resumes or in job portals. One common tactic is to fudge the dates of past employment — blurring start and end dates to minimize the break. Read more.
How should you handle a career break on your resume, in a job portal or during an interview?
Julie Bauke (rhymes with NOW-kee) can offer advice. She is Founder and Chief Career Strategist with The Bauke Group. Julie also worked for 16 years in HR. She is the author of the book, Stop Peeing On Your Shoes: Avoiding the 7 Mistakes That Screw Up Your Job Search.

PA GOP Candidate for Senate - Dave McCormick joins Dawn Stensland LIVE on 1210 WPHT. Dave first reacts to the Boyle drama seen in MontCo, before expanding on his campaign running against Bob Casey, and finding ways to give PA voters hope and opportunity..
Dave was born into a family of two hard-working teachers and spent his early years helping on the family farm. His parents instilled the values of hard work and resilience, which he follows today, and he is passing the lessons on to his children.
Growing up, Dave played football and wrestled for his high school's team. He delivered newspapers and bused tables at a hotel. And when the time came, trimmed the Christmas trees so everyone who came to the farm had something beautiful to put in their home.
As a 7th-generation Pennsylvanian who grew up outside of Pittsburgh, he knows the Steel City like the back of his hand. But after high school, it was time for Dave to leave the city and head to college.
Dave was nominated and graduated from West Point, the United States Military Academy, with a mechanical engineering degree. When he wasn't keeping his head down studying for exams, you would see Dave practicing his wrestling skills for the school where he was a four-time letterman and a co-captain.
His time at West Point only furthered the lessons that his parents instilled in him as a young child. He truly saw how dedication and hard work can pay off.
Upon graduation, Dave enrolled in the U.S. Army Airborne School and Ranger School, where he was named the Honor Graduate of Ranger School. Shortly after, Dave joined the 82nd Airborne Division as a paratrooper and was one of the first waves of deployments into Iraq during the Gulf War. As a Captain, Dave led his team of 130 soldiers in clearing minefields and destroying enemy munitions.
Dave's service in the military ended in 1992, after five years of commissioned service, earning him a Bronze Star. His time in the Army again exemplified the hard-working and resilient values from his parent's teachings.
From there, Dave went and earned his Ph.D. from Princeton University, moved back to Pittsburgh, and entered the private sector, where he employed hundreds of Pennsylvanians in his successful tech start-up.
His work ethic was strong, and his accomplishments were so well known that he was nominated to serve in multiple positions, including Under Secretary of Treasury and Deputy National Security Advisor. In these roles, he led the fight to protect American technology from Chinese theft and advised the President on national security issues.
When Dave returned to the private sector, he met his wife, Dina. The two of them have six daughters.
Dave is running for the United States Senate to ensure this nation provides a promising future for his children and future generations.

BETSY ALSO EXPANDS ON THE TRAGEDY IN EAST LANSDOWNE INVOLVING LOCAL OFFICERS - HOW TO CONTINUE TO CHANGE THE CULTURE OF CRIME IN OUR REGION - BETSY EXPANDS ON THE REPORT BELOW AS WELL....
(NBC News)
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said Thursday that the reported migrants who were recorded on video assaulting two police officers over the weekend in Times Square should be deported.
“Get them all and send them back,” she said in response to a question about the people who have been arrested in connection with the assaults. “You don’t touch our police officers. You don’t touch anybody...”
Assaulting a police officer is a federal crime, and such a charge can make a person eligible for deportation.
A police spokesperson told NBC News on Thursday that all of the seven people arrested in the incident so far are migrants...
About 8:30 p.m. Saturday, officers tried to disperse a disorderly group on 42nd Street when a physical altercation broke out, a police spokesperson said.
When officers tried to arrest a person, “multiple unidentified individuals repeatedly kicked and punched the officers in the head and body,” the spokesperson said...
Five of the seven who have been arrested were arraigned and released on their own recognizance, a spokesperson for the district attorney’s office said...
Those five defendants face felony charges that carry a penalty of up to seven years, the spokesperson said.
Hochul on Wednesday criticized the decision to allow the suspects to be released.
“I’m not satisfied with that at all,” she said. “These are law enforcement officers who should never, under any circumstances, be subjected to physical assault. It’s wrong on all accounts, and I’m looking to judges and prosecutors to do the right thing. We have changed bail laws. We have different laws now as a result of what we did in 2022, in the 2023 budgets, and we’re seeing a decline in repeat offenders. We have all sorts of data that shows it’s working, but that situation is abhorrent to me.” Read more.
How in the world could migrants suspected of assaulting law enforcement officers be released?

Luis Scott of 8 Figure Consulting joins Dawn LIVE! Luis expands on the most absent day of the year - Super Bowl Monday! How can any business put guardrails in place to emphasize attendance on days like this one.
Luis then expands on the reality of the Trump Colorado case that was center stage yesterday in the news cycle.
Luis responds to the prompt below:
(Independent)
Businesses across the United States are bracing for an outbreak of ‘Super flu’ next Monday when over 16m Americans are expected to phone in sick after watching the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs play for the Lombardi Trophy.
A survey from UKG, a provider of human resources, payroll, and workforce management solutions, estimated that 16.1m U.S. employees plan to miss work the day after the 11 February Super Bowlin Las Vegas.
The survey also found that 22.5m U.S. employees, or 14 percent of the workforce, expect they will miss at least some work on Monday while 45m say they’ll be less productive than usual.
“The Monday after the Super Bowl has become the number one day in absenteeism or people taking a vacation day,” Derek Stevens, owner and CEO of several Las Vegas casinos including Circa, told Reuters. Read more.
How should bosses handle this? Is it important to put a policy in place now about missing work the day after the Super Bowl?
Business strategist and attorney Luis Scott can weigh in on this. He's overcome adversity to build two successful businesses. And now he advises others on how to do the same thing.
Within a three-month period in 2017-2018, Luis went through a divorce and his law partners kicked him out of their practice. Less than six years later, a law firm he has since cofounded has five offices with nearly 30 attorneys. And his company 8 Figure Firm Consulting helps law firms achieve 8-figure yearly revenues. 8 Figure Firm clients employ almost 5,000 people nationwide.

Chris Autry built, opened and ran corporate call centers for about 30 years. His longest stretch of unemployment was for six months in 1989. Until recently, that is.
Autry, 64, lost his job last year in a corporate downsizing and hasn’t been able to find another one in the nine months that he has been looking. He thinks ageism may be playing a role.
He’s applied for about 500 jobs and gotten a 12% response rate that has led to dozens of interviews and follow-ups...
“Everything is virtual nowadays. I’ve found that if the first interview or screening is done over the phone, I always get to the next level. If it’s by video, I don’t make it to the next level,” Autry said. “Perhaps it might be unconscious bias if they see me as an older applicant...”
During one interview, he said, he dressed appropriately, in his view, wearing a jacket and tie. The vice president of human resources asked him if he always dressed so formally.
“I got the impression that maybe I come off as old school, stuffy, from a bygone era,” Autry said...
AARP found that 64% of adults age 50 and over in the workforce think older workers face discrimination, and nine in 10 believe that age discrimination against older workers is common in the workplace. More than one in 10 said they have been passed up for a promotion or chance to get ahead because of their age. Read more.
How should older workers approach job interviews if they're worried about ageism?
A story by The Wall Street Journal notes that remote workers are more likely to be laid off.
Workers logging on from home five days a week were 35% more likely to be laid off in 2023 than their peers who put in office time, according to an analysis of two million white-collar workers conducted by employment data provider Live Data Technologies. The analysis showed 10% of fully remote workers were laid off last year, compared with 7% of those working in an office full time or on a hybrid basis.
“When a hiring manager gets news they have to cut 10% of the staff, it’s easier to put someone on the list you don’t have a close personal relationship with,” says Andy Challenger, senior vice president at Challenger, Gray & Christmas, an outplacement firm. Much of the disparity, he says, is that it’s simply harder to build attachments to people you don’t see face to face.
Does this mean workers should think twice before taking a fully remote job? Can remote workers do anything to avoid being laid off?
According to a new Harris Poll carried out exclusively for Fortune, bosses feel Gen Z workers lack soft skills and have unrealistic expectations.
Fortune: Eighty-two percent of managers—among the Harris Poll’s pool of 1,200 knowledge workers—said their new Gen Z hires’ soft skills need more guidance, time, and training. They think Gen Z newbies also have unrealistic workplace expectations, more so than they used to, and three in four managers say it’s harder to train new hires in soft skills than in actual technical skills.
The story includes examples of soft skills such as how to receive blunt feedback or strike up a conversation with a senior manager if you run into them in the office kitchen.
How can young workers improve their soft skills to advance their career? And how can they have a more realistic picture of what the workplace is really like?

Do-nothing Dems in the Pa. House hold bipartisan reforms hostage - VIA PHILA INQUIRER
In the last two years, tens of thousands of Pennsylvanians have fled the state. This trend is not new. For 12 of the past 13 years, more residents have moved out of the commonwealth than have moved in. We now have the ignominy of having the fourth-highest population loss in the country. At this rate, analysts anticipate Pennsylvania losing another congressional seat by 2030.

LEIGH RICHARDSON JOINS DAWN LIVE! LEIGH EXPANDS ON THE MENTAL HEALTH EPIDEMIC SEEN IN THE US... AND HOW TO HANDLE IT MOVING FORWARD...
(Axios)
"Sesame Street" favorite Elmo's wellness check-in post on X asking "How is everybody doing?" has been met with thousands of responses this week.
The big picture: Many made clear in the comments section that they're not doing so well — with some citing being laid off, feeling tired or nothing they're "depressed and broke."
Why it matters: The responses to Elmo's post that was seen an estimated 140 million-plus times underscore a growing mental health crisis across the U.S. and a national spike in anxiety and depression, with young people driving a rise in mental health spending in recent years.
American spending on mental health with private insurance surged during the pandemic, while Gallup polling in 2023 found 23% of U.S. adults visited a mental health professional in 2022, compared to 13% in 2004.
Three recent studies suggest overdose deaths, depression and barriers to care have weighed heaviest on disadvantaged and minority groups — and they're aligning to widen health disparities as the U.S. emerges from the pandemic, per Axios' Caitlin Owens.
Meanwhile, about half of all adults in the U.S. have reported they feel lonely. Read more.
What's driving this mental health crisis? And what steps can each of us take to keep mentally fit - and to help loved ones who may be struggling with depression or loneliness?
For perspective, please consider interviewing a woman who dedicates her life to studying how the brain works - and how it impacts behavior.
Brain Health Coach and Consultant Leigh Richardson's initial focus was on organizational behavior. She shifted to human behavior in 2003 after her son suffered a traumatic brain injury. Leigh has also been in ICU twice with brain injury. All of this fueled her need to understand how the brain works or why it doesn’t work.

DR MERION MASS JOINS DAWN LIVE BREAKING DOWN HER LATEST COLUMN ON THE DAILY CALLER... HOW CAN WE PUSH FOR A BETTER SYSTEM, AND AWAY FROM THE CURRENT TRENDS OF MONOPOLIZATION... CAN PATIENTS FIND MORE OPTIONS MOVING FORWARD?
Time To End Policies Driving Higher Healthcare Costs
In particular, Dr. Mass explains how monopolistic healthcare consolidation is harming Americans and what should be done to address this major challenge: “The Senate and President Biden should support patients by quickly passing and signing the bipartisan transparency package passed by the House. It is possible to put an end to the government policies that drive up the cost of healthcare, and there is no better time than the present.” Might you have some time to have Dr. Marion Mass on the show?
Dr. Marion Mass: “Healthcare consolidation has economically beaten down most communities across the United States, driving up the price of health care services….When the nation’s largest hospital operator, HCA Healthcare, acquired western North Carolina’s Mission Health System in 2019, few in Asheville expected their daily lives would be impacted. Not only did HCA acquire the region’s seven largest hospitals, but it snapped up 124 physician practices too. By the end of the merger this single health system controlled 90 percent of the hospital market, as well as significant portions of primary and specialty care….In any other industry, such monopolistic practices would sound the alarm of regulatory watchtowers, but when it comes to healthcare the federal government actively subsidizes and enables the barbarians at the gate.”
Dr. Marion Mass: “Across the United States vulnerable patients in thousands of jurisdictions have faced the devastating consequences of consolidation. As hospitals and health systems consolidate in-patient and out-patient care, study after study has shown that patients face higher prices and fewer options. As consolidation tramples communities, patients can be left with no nearby alternatives to a health system monopoly. Poor government policies are driving this vicious cycle of rising prices, and it is imperative that Congress take action to end it….Americans would expect the federal government to be on high alert against monopolies, but instead, their healthcare reimbursement policies explicitly reward them.”
Dr. Marion Mass: “The consolidated health systems are thriving, but patients are being underserved and overcharged….This is why the House overwhelmingly passed the Lower Costs, More Transparency Act, which would take a first step toward reducing the monopoly privileges Medicare bestows on consolidated health systems and expose exorbitantly high prices to help consumers compare options….The bill combats consolidation by requiring Medicare to give the same reimbursement for drugs administered, regardless of whether they’re administered at a hospital out-patient department or at an independent physician practice. Same service, same reimbursement….This is a great first step. But Congress should also take up policies to make Medicare payments for all out-patient services site-neutral — that is, the payment should depend on the service and not the location or the owner of the practice….The Senate and President Biden should support patients by quickly passing and signing the bipartisan transparency package passed by the House. It is possible to put an end to the government policies that drive up the cost of healthcare, and there is no better time than the present.”

BETSY BRANTNER SMITH OF THE NATIONAL POLICE ASSOC. - BETSY JOINS DAWN BREAKING DOWN THE CAR JACKING TRENDS IN PHILADELPHIA AND NATIONWIDE - CRIME NUMBERS LAST YEAR SHOWED AN AVERAGE OF 64 CARS A DAY WERE STOLEN IN PHILADELPHIA ALONE... BETSY EXPANDS ON THE PROMPT BELOW...
(Daily Mail)
'We are f***ed,' an exasperated police officer candidly declares as he patrols a Chevron gas station in Oakland, California, during the morning rush.
The spot is one of three gas stations that surround Oakland Airport and which have become notorious for vehicle thefts. Within a single square mile, cops claim criminals strike a dozen times or more per day, every day, mainly targeting victims who are headed to and from the airport.
But the officer, who's picked up an overtime shift to keep watch and act as a deterrent, wasn't just referring to the theft epidemic when he made the strikingly blunt assessment.
He was referring, in his words, to the 'restrictive' policies passed by city and state lawmakers which mean police officers can't even pursue the thieves because smash-and-grab theft is a 'nonviolent crime'.
'We can't do a car chase on nonviolent crime,' he told DailyMail.com from the seat of his police cruiser. 'I can go behind the cars and try and turn on my lights, but why would they stop...?'
Crime stats for Oakland... reveal car theft has risen nearly 50 percent across the past year. There were 8,675 car theft cases in the city in 2022, compared with 12,956 last year.
The officer said they often see repeat offenders. 'We see someone and they're arrested, then a week later they are back out,' the cop said. Read more.
For perspective on what can be one to reverse this trend, turn to a 29-year law enforcement veteran who now trains officers around the world.
Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith (Ret.) is spokesperson for National Police Association, a non profit that supports law enforcement officers across the U.S. She began her career as a police dispatcher at age 17 and has held positions in patrol, investigations, narcotics, juvenile, hostage negotiation, crime prevention, K-9 and field training. She has been a law enforcement trainer for over 20 years.
BETSY ALSO EXPANDS ON BELOW AP REPORT ON DECRIMINALIZING DRUGS... LIVE WITH DAWN AT 11 AM
(AP) — Democratic lawmakers in Oregon on Tuesday unveiled a sweeping new bill that would undo a key part of the state’s first-in-the-nation drug decriminalization law, a recognition that public opinion has soured on the measure amid rampant public drug use during the fentanyl crisis.
The bill would recriminalize the possession of small amounts of drugs as a low-level misdemeanor, enabling police to confiscate them and crack down on their use on sidewalks and in parks, its authors said...
Voters passed the pioneering decriminalization law, Measure 110, with 58% support in 2020. But Democratic legislators who championed it as a way to treat addiction as a public health matter, not a crime, are now contending with one of the nation’s largest spikes in overdose deaths...
Measure 110 directed the state’s cannabis tax revenue toward drug addiction treatment while decriminalizing “personal use” amounts of illicit drugs. Possession of under a gram of heroin, for example, is only subject to a ticket and a maximum fine of $100.
Those caught with small amounts can have the citation dismissed by calling a 24-hour hotline to complete an addiction screening within 45 days, but those who don’t do a screening are not penalized for failing to pay the fine.
In the year after the law took effect in February 2021, only 1% of people who received citations for possession sought help via the hotline, state auditors found. As of last June, the hotline received an average of 10 calls per month that were related to citations...
The measure’s details have yet to be finalized, but “personal use” possession of illegal drugs would become a misdemeanor punishable by up to 30 days in jail or a $1,250 fine. The bill would not affect Oregon’s legalization of cannabis or psychedelic mushrooms.
Those arrested for small amounts would be referred by police to a peer support specialist to schedule an assessment or intervention. If the person shows up to the meeting, they wouldn’t be charged. If they don’t, the offense could be referred to the district attorney’s office.
If charges are filed, they could avoid jail by agreeing to certain conditions of probation, or by agreeing to have their case diverted to drug court, where judges place people in treatment programs rather than jail. Read more.
Will this help decrease the number of drug-related deaths in Oregon? Or should lawmakers adopt tougher measures? And what can other states learn from Oregon's failed experiment to decriminalize drugs?
For perspective on what can be one to reverse this trend, turn to a 29-year law enforcement veteran who now trains officers around the world.

Superhot spicy peppers are on fire lately - but while most experiment
with heat, others live their lives in pursuit of fire. SUPERHOT is a wild
ride into the Spicy World of Pepper People – the self-proclaimed chili
heads who have taken the chili pill and want to find out how deep the
rabbit hole goes. This 10-part series goes deep into a subculture
fueled by spice: from the elite growers who strive to create new
superhots to the chili eaters who chase the endorphin rush of
consuming them. Along the way, one legendary chili head sets out on
a quest to answer the spiciest of questions: is there a pepper that
can challenge the world’s hottest?
When you conjure an image of who is likely to be at the top of the
competitive chili eating heap, you probably wouldn’t imagine
Shahina Waseem. But for 10 years now she has dominated the
field, taking all comers and never losing a bout. Known as the “UK
Chilli Queen,” Shahina has set her sights on an unfathomable goal:
100 straight competitive chili eating competition wins. Superhot joins
Shahina as she climbs that mountain. Can she establish herself as
the Greatest of All Time?

SGT BETSY BRANTNER SMITH JOINS DAWN LIVE! BETSY EXPANDS ON THE STATE OF PHILADELPHIA LEADERSHIP AS NEW MAYOR CHERELLE PARKER SETS A POLICE PRESENCE IN INFAMOUS KENSINGTON DISTRICT... HOW CAN KEVIN BETHEL AND PARKER FIND A WAY TO ENFORCE LAW & ORDER... BETSY ALSO EXPANDS ON THE RECENT TREND OF "SWATTING" AND FINDING A WAY TO COMBAT THIS PROBLEM THAT WASTES TIME, EFFORT, AND RESOURCES FROM MANY POLICE DEPTS NATIONWIDE...
According to Morning Brew, incidents of swatting involving politicians and judges are on the rise across the U.S.
On Sunday, swatters targeted Tanya Chutkan, the federal judge presiding over the case concerning Donald Trump’s alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election, claiming there was a shooting at her house (there wasn’t). And she’s just the latest in a recent wave of swatting—a form of harassment that involves calling the police under false pretenses to send a SWAT team to someone’s home.
Federal lawmakers including Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, New York Rep. Brandon Williams, and Florida Sen. Rick Scott have been swatted recently.
Jack Smith, the special counsel who’s prosecuting former President Trump in two cases, was swatted on Christmas Day.
A 911 caller pretended to have broken into the home of Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows the day after she disqualified Trump from being on the state’s primary ballot...
The fake calls often claim a bomb threat, murder, or burglary, creating a dangerous situation as law enforcement arrives prepared to deal with potentially armed criminals...
What’s being done about it: Multiple politicians have called for legislation that would make it easier to identify those responsible for swatting and levy stronger penalties. For now, no arrests have been made in connection with these crimes as the callers almost always use fake caller ID or phone spoofing software to remain untraceable.
For perspective on what can be done to stop this, turn to a 29-year law enforcement veteran who now trains officers around the world.
Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith (Ret.) is spokesperson for National Police Association, a non profit that supports law enforcement officers across the U.S. She began her career as a police dispatcher at age 17 and has held positions in patrol, investigations, narcotics, juvenile, hostage negotiation, crime prevention, K-9 and field training.

(Yahoo News)
In an era where the world's triumphs and tragedies are a mere click away, the past few years have delivered a relentless wave of heartbreaking stories and images, from the global toll of the COVID-19 pandemic to the anguish wrought by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
In late October 2023, a fresh tragedy (took center) stage: the loss of innocent lives in Israel and Palestine. The ongoing war in Gaza has kept some glued to their screens, consuming news and images that haunt them day and night.
This unceasing cycle of scrolling through distressing news, known as "doomscrolling," is taking a significant toll on one's mental and emotional well-being.
A 2022 study published in the Health Communication Journal revealed that 16.5 per cent of participants exhibited a "severely problematic" habit of consuming negative news. Read more.

JULIE COMMENTS ON ALL THIS...
(Business Insider)
Employees do pay a professional price for being able to work from home, a recent survey found.
Remote employees were the least likely to get promotions and raises in 2023, according to a survey from Resume Builder that surveyed 1,190 full-time employees in December.
The survey... found just 42% of remote workers surveyed got a promotion in 2023, as compared to 55% of those in the office all the time.
As for raises, just 41% of remote workers got a 10% raise or more while about 50% of fully in-office and hybrid staff got the same raise.
However, remote employees also appear to be happier.
Employees who were in the office fully reported more stress and unhappiness at work, with 11% of full in-office employees rating their mental health as "poor or terrible" as compared to 8% of remote workers. Another 43% of fully in-office employees said they were "very stressed" against 30% of remote workers.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, half of the fully in-office employees said they will be seeking a new job next year, while just over a third of remote workers said they would do the same. Read more.

Retention bonuses aren’t anything new. But one that relies on what your coworkers are doing? That’s not something you see every day—unless you work at Stella & Chewy’s.
The pet food company’s Wisconsin manufacturing site, which employs over 600 of its nearly 800 global employees, has struggled with retention in recent years, said Bruce Larson, chief people officer at Stella & Chewy’s, with its voluntary turnover rate hitting 62% in 2022...
He hopes his company’s new retention plan will help dramatically decrease their voluntary turnover rate.
What’s the plan? Earlier this year, Stella & Chewy’s announced the Stay Plan to boost retention. It incentivizes manufacturing workers, dubbed “production pack members,” to stay with the company by offering $15,000 bonuses if the site’s overall voluntary turnover rate drops below 23% in three years. All manufacturing employees at the Wisconsin site, at the end of three years, are eligible for the bonus. Read more.

"The final weekend of 2023 has been a deadly one for law U.S. law enforcement officers.
AP: An Oakland, California, police officer was shot and killed Friday while answering a report of a burglary at a marijuana dispensary, authorities said.
Tuan Le, 36, was one of several who responded to a report of a burglary in progress at the cannabis business near Jack London Square at about 4:30 a.m., about 3 1/2 hours after an earlier burglary was reported at the same business, authorities said.
The arriving uniformed and plainclothes officers saw several people leaving the business and one opened fire several times, hitting the officer, who was in plainclothes and driving an unmarked car, interim Police Chief Darren Allison said at a news conference.
AP: A Georgia sheriff’s deputy was fatally shot Friday while responding to a report of a domestic disturbance at a home in Spalding County, officials said.
Sheriff Darrell Dix said at a news conference that a man fired a shotgun from a window of the home as two deputies crossed the yard, hitting one of them in the head. The deputy was taken to a hospital but died. Read more.

America’s Rent-A-Womb Industry Lures An Alarming Number Of Chinese Nationals
China not only owns a disproportionate amount of American debt, but a new report reveals it also rents a disproportionate number of American wombs.
In July, researchers using data from the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology Clinic Outcome Reporting System found that Chinese nationals make up the largest percentage of foreign surrogacy contracts in the United States. This report — in the journal Fertility and Sterility, which is published on behalf of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine — compared the demographics of domestic and international intended parents. The latter category refers to men and women who are foreign nationals but come to the United States to hire an American surrogate to bear their child(ren). The rent-a-womb industry is disproportionately fueled by Chinese nationals (13.4 percent), followed by France (2.9 percent).
Of these foreign nationals, which come mainly from China, many are men over the age of 42 (33.9 percent compared to 26.2 percent of domestic intended parents). They are also far more likely than prospective domestic parents (roughly 74 percent as opposed to 54 percent) to use preimplantation genetic testing. This allows intended parents to select the “ideal” embryo based on the child’s sex, health, lack of genetic anomalies, and even eye, hair, and skin color. While sex-based abortion is illegal in some states, preimplantation genetic testing provides intended parents with an effective workaround.

Other popular stress relieving activities:
cleaning (31%)
gardening (30%)

Writing in the New York Post, former Queens executive district attorney Jim Quinn argues that stats touting a reduction in New York City crime are misleading.
Last week, the NYPD issued a press release touting the 4.1% reduction in crime in November 2023 compared to November 2022.
But when you look at the numbers year to date, crime is down a statistically insignificant 0.77% this year compared to 2022, but it is a hefty 33.7% higher than it was in 2019, before bail reform and discovery reform trashed our criminal justice system...
New York City felony index crimes went down in 17 of the 20 years between 2000 and 2019. Crime went down every year from 2014 through 2019.
It was only after thousands of “non-violent” career criminals were released from city jails (pre-COVID) in early 2020 that crime began to rise.
For perspective on this, turn to a 29-year law enforcement veteran who now trains officers around the world.

Betsy Brantner Smith (Ret.) is spokesperson for National Police Association, a non profit that supports law enforcement officers across the U.S. She began her career as a police dispatcher at age 17 and has held positions in patrol, investigations, narcotics, juvenile, hostage negotiation, crime prevention, K-9 and field training.

Ambassador Francis Rooney: “I hope that we will react forcefully to support Israel and help it defeat Hamas. No wonder bad actors around the world are acting out when they see our feeble president and stalemated Congress. This is a prescription for a foreign policy disaster.

JULIE BAUKE OF THE BAUKE FOUNDATION JOINS DAWN LIVE! JULIE BAUKE EXPANDS ON THE TRENDS AROUND USING SOCIAL MEDIA AND TIK TOK FOR CAREER ADVICE - IS THIS A GOOD OR BAD TREND? HOW CAN WE RESPOND TO IT AS WE TRY TO NETWORK... REPORT BELOW...
According to Business Insider, a new survey finds 70% of Gen Z turns to TikTok for career advice.
Edubirdie, an essay-service platform for students... surveyed 2,000 Gen Zers between the ages of 18 to 26 in the US in October about the influence of TikTok in their lives.
It found that 70% of Gen Z were using TikTok to get advice on their careers...
In Edubirdie's survey, 46% of Gen Zers said TikTok influenced their choice of profession...
In one recent viral video, a TikToker promoted a networking hack called "corporate flirting" which draws on tips from dating situations that are also applicable when building connections at work.
Another workplace strategy called "managing up" picked up almost eight million views on the platform this year as TikTokers advised Gen Zers on how to get their boss to accommodate their needs. Read more.

DAVID OSBORNE OF COMMONWEALTH FOUNDATION JOINS DAWN LIVE! HE EXPANDS ON THE REPORT CLAIMING THAT GOV SHAPIRO WAS THE LARGEST RECIPIENT OF PUBLIC UNION MONEY IN THE NATION...
Government Unions Spent Over $708 Million on Near-Exclusively Leftist Causes
New research shows public-sector unions have become cash cows to advance progressive politics.
Harrisburg, Pa., December 7, 2023 — The four largest public-sector unions—the National Education Association (NEA), the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU)—spent $708.8 million on political activities across the country during the 2021-22 election cycle, according to a new report from the Commonwealth Foundation. The research combines campaign finance data at the state and federal levels with union tax filings to paint a complete picture of public-sector union political activity.
The report, titled "The Battle for Worker Freedom: How Government Unions Fund Politics Across the Country," exposes the substantial influence that public-sector union executives have in shaping the national political landscape and advocating for a progressive agenda in red and blue states.
Its findings, moreover, challenge the typical union narrative that membership dues are not used for politics. Government union political action committee (PAC) contributions accounted for just 40 percent of political spending, with union membership dues accounting for the remaining 60 percent. In many states, union dues are deducted automatically through taxpayer-funded public payroll systems, raising serious questions about union executives’ accountability to membership, who may be unaware of their role in funding executives’ political projects.
David R. Osborne is the Senior Fellow for Labor Policy with the Commonwealth Foundation.
David is an attorney with on-the-ground experience advocating for teachers, firefighters, and other public employees mistreated by union officials. Before joining the Commonwealth Foundation, David was the CEO of Americans for Fair Treatment, a nonprofit organization that supports, educates, and empowers public employees to exercise their First Amendment rights.
He also served as President & General Counsel of the Fairness Center, a nonprofit, public-interest law firm providing free legal representation to those hurt by public sector union officials, and as a Presidential appointee to the Federal Service Impasses Panel, which resolves labor impasses between federal agencies and federal employee unions.

JACKIE DUCCI - FOUNDER OF THE HUMAN ANIMAL ALLIANCE JOINS DAWN LIVE! CONSIDERING A PET FOR CHRISTMAS? MAYBE THINK TWICE... JACKIE REACTS TO THE AXIOS PROMPT BELOW, AS CONSUMERS LOOK TO PETS FOR HOLIDAY CHEER....
While pets are always a popular gift, shelter owners urge people to think long and hard before buying a dog or cat this holiday season. According to multiple media reports, pet surrenders are near an all-time high and shelters nationwide are overcrowded:
Axios: Animal shelters are overrun with stray or owner-surrendered pets this year, leading to spiking post-pandemic euthanasia rates across the country.
Why it matters: Animal intakes at both public and private shelters across the country are expected to reach a 3-year high this year, and adoptions or returns to owners are not keeping pace, according to the Shelter Animals Count database.
Vox: From Rhode Island to Seattle and everywhere in between, shelters are reporting they’re at capacity, forcing an increase in the number of dogs killed due to space constraints. Earlier this year, almost half of shelters surveyed reported an increase in euthanized dogs, while only 10 percent reported a decrease.
Los Angeles Times: An overcrowding crisis has gripped animal shelters across the state and nationwide...
Adoptions aren’t keeping up with the number of dogs coming in, leading to higher euthanasia rates, according to Shelter Animals Count, a nonprofit that tracks shelter statistics nationwide.
KTLA-TV: 1 in 6 dog owners surrendered a pet in (the) last year, according to a survey by Veterinarians.org.
One issue: new pet owners underestimate how expensive it is to care for a dog or cat:
USA Today: The average annual cost of owning a dog is $376 a month or $4,512 a year, according to a recent survey of 1,000 U.S. dog owners...
The cost of owning a dog may be higher in the first year, with adoption or purchase fees, the cost of dog supplies and initial vaccines and vet treatment expenses.
USA Today: The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has quoted the average cost to own a cat as $1,149 per year, with the first year of pet ownership often being more expensive at an average of $1,904.
Jackie Ducci (pronounced "DOO-chee") can explain what you should consider before adopting a pet this holiday. She is founder of The Human-Animal Alliance, a nonprofit which creates opportunities for people to experience loving and life-changing relationships with animals.
A successful entrepreneur, Jackie transitioned into nonprofit work in 2022 after a 17-year career in the recruiting industry. Her talent acquisition agency gained a national reputation for its astounding 90% success rate placing candidates in long-term positions with Fortune 500 companies nationwide. Jackie’s love of animals (and firm belief in the profound ability they have to make human lives better) inspired her to leave her career in recruiting to found The Human-Animal Alliance and focus on her true passion: advocating for the value of the human-animal bond.

BETSY BRANTNER SMITH OF THE NATIONAL POLICE ASSOC JOINS DAWN LIVE! BETSY RESPONDS TO THE PROMPTS BELOW - MACYS CENTER CITY TRAGEDY - AS WELL AS THE VEGAS SHOOTING... HOW CAN WE COMBAT THESE TRENDS?
(Philadelphia Inquirer)
Two security guards working at Macy’s in Center City were stabbed, one fatally, Monday morning inside the store, police said.
Shortly before 11 a.m., a man attempted to steal merchandise — specifically hats — from the store... When security guards confronted the man and retrieved the stolen items, he left without incident, said Interim Police Commissioner John Stanford.
But about 10 minutes later, the man returned, then approached one of the guards and started stabbing him, Stanford said.
When a second security guard attempted to intervene, Stanford said, the man slashed and stabbed that guard as well...
One of the men, a 30-year-old who had been stabbed in the neck, died from his injuries, Stanford said. The second guard, a 23-year-old stabbed in the face and forearm, was in stable condition...
The suspected attacker is in custody. He fled the scene, but was apprehended a short time later...
(The story notes that this Macy's) often sees higher rates of homelessness and... has recently faced what Stanford said was some of the highest rates of retail theft in the city. So far this year, he said, police have received reports of 250 incidents of retail theft at the location — a number that is likely undercounting the number of incidents (the theft prior to the stabbing was not initially reported to police, he said). Read more.
The National Retail Federation estimates stores lost approximately $41 billion in inventory to shoplifters last year.
For perspective on what can be done to stop this, turn to a 29-year law enforcement veteran who now trains officers around the world.

RETIRED SGT BETSY BRANTNER SMITH JOINS DAWN LIVE! BETSY EXPANDS ON THE STATE OF POLICING IN OUR CITIES, AS WELL AS THE PURPOSED SKI MASK BAN HERE IN PHILADELPHIA - BETSY REPLIES TO THE FOLLOWING PROMPTS...
(The Philadelphia Inquirer)
Philadelphia City Council is poised to ban the wearing of ski masks in certain public spaces this week, a move that police say could help them solve more crimes and stop more pedestrians they suspect of being involved in criminal activity...
The bill allows the city to fine people $250 for wearing ski masks in parks, schools, and on public transit. There are carve-outs for religious expression and “First Amendment activities” like protesting...
The ACLU says it could violate free expression rights and be misused by officers stopping and frisking pedestrians — a controversial but legal law enforcement tactic that’s been embraced by Mayor-elect Cherelle Parker...
(Bill author) Councilmember Anthony Phillips... said during a hearing on the bill earlier this month that several recent shootings were committed by people in ski masks. He cited the September 2022 shooting at Roxborough High during a football scrimmage, when 14-year-old Nicolas Elizalde was fatally gunned down. Several of the shooters were seen on surveillance footage the same day, but their faces were obscured by ski masks.
Several states, including Virginia, Florida, and Georgia, have similar bans on people wearing facial coverings that are intended to disguise their identity.
The Police Department is supportive of the legislation, but its leadership says enforcing the rule and issuing citations may be complicated given the exceptions. Read more.
For perspective on whether banning ski masks would help law enforcement, turn to a 29-year law enforcement veteran who now trains officers around the world.
(New York Post)
New York’s Finest continue to bolt from the job at an alarming rate, according to new data obtained by The Post — and some cops worry the exodus will only get worse because the city plans to cancel the next five Police Academy classes, shrinking the nation’s largest police force to the smallest its been in decades.
A total of 2,516 NYPD cops have left so far this year, the fourth highest number in the past decade...
The number of cops quitting before they reach the 20 years required to receive their full pensions also skyrocketed from 509 in 2020 to 1,040 so far this year — an alarming 104% increase, the data show...
The drastic cuts will reduce the department to just 29,000 cops by the end of fiscal year 2025 — the lowest level since the mid-90s. Read more.
NBC News notes that communities across the nation are struggling to retain and recruit law enforcement officers:
America is in the midst of a police officer shortage that many in law enforcement blame on the twofold morale hit of 2020 — the coronavirus pandemic and criticism of police that boiled over with the murder of George Floyd by a police officer...

A Wall Street Journal investigation published last week revealed allegations of a toxic workplace culture at the agency that drove many female bank examiners to quit.
Here's an excerpt from the original WSJ story: A male Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. supervisor in San Francisco invited employees to a strip club. A supervisor in Denver had sex with his employee, told other employees about it and pressed her to drink whiskey during work. Senior bank examiners texted female employees photos of their penises.
All of the men remained employed at the agency.

According to Fortune, insurance giant Allstate has seen a 23% spike in applications since embracing a flexible work strategy, allowing managers and their teams to determine their own work arrangements. As such, Allstate has slashed more than half of its real estate, selling its Northbrook, Ill., headquarters in 2022. Some 99% of its 54,000 employees work either remotely or hybrid near one of its now hub-like office configurations.
“I know there are all these articles about people thinking five days a week is coming back, and everyone’s going to the office—I don’t,” Bob Toohey, Allstate’s chief human resources officer, tells Fortune. “We don’t know what the new way is ultimately going to be. I think as long as we stay flexible, test, learn, move with it, and have a good partnership between the employer and employee, we’ll have a great outcome...”

(The Philadelphia Inquirer)
A Montgomery County (Pennsylvania) township cannot bar police and municipal employees from displaying the “thin blue line” flag, a federal judge ruled this week.
The ruling comes after Pennsylvania’s largest police union filed a lawsuit in January, alleging that leaders in Springfield Township had violated the Constitution by banning the flag.
Adopted by some police departments and their supporters after 2020′s mass protests over police brutality, the flag depicts a black-and-white American flag with one blue stripe, and has been tied to the “Blue Lives Matter” slogan used by supporters of law enforcement...
Springfield Township officials banned its employees from displaying the flag on township property in January, saying that the flag had become central to tensions between marginalized communities and law enforcement, and adding that it had been adopted by white nationalists since its introduction.

The National Police Association, a non profit that supports law enforcement officers across the U.S., has supported efforts in Florida and Colorado that keep Homeowners Associations from banning Thin Blue Line flags.

JULIE BAUKE ON THE LATEST JOB AND EMPLOYMENT TRENDS... JULIE RESPONDS TO THE FOLLOWING PROMPTS...
A recent survey finds that 70% of workers lie on their resume.
According to ResumeLab's Job Applicant Behavior Survey, the top four resume lies are:
Embellishing responsibilities in general – 52%
My job title (to make it sound more impressive) – 52%
Fabricating how many people I managed – 45%
The length of time I was employed at a job – 37%
The survey also found that 76% of workers admit to lying in their cover letters.
How risky is it to lie (or even embellish) on your resume or cover letter?
Julie Bauke (rhymes with NOW-kee) is uniquely qualified to weigh in on this. She's Founder and Chief Career Strategist with The Bauke Group. Julie also worked for 16 years in HR. She is the author of the book, Stop Peeing On Your Shoes: Avoiding the 7 Mistakes That Screw Up Your Job Search.
(The Wall Street Journal)
The white-collar labor market is softening to a point that companies are encountering an issue that would have been unthinkable in the era known as the Great Resignation.
These days, too few people are voluntarily leaving their jobs.
Turnover has declined so steeply at some large employers that companies now find themselves over budget on certain teams, requiring leaders to weigh whether to postpone projects or to cut additional staff as the end of year approaches...
Morgan Stanley had layoffs in recent months in part because of low attrition within the 80,000-person Wall Street firm, CEO James Gorman said on a call with investors in mid-October...
Wells Fargo’s Chief Financial Officer Mike Santomassimo told investors this summer that attrition has been slower than expected at the company and that the bank planned to record higher severance expenses to reduce its head count. He reiterated the message in mid-October, telling investors that the company believed it still had more jobs to cut, as attrition has remained low, which will likely result in additional severance costs next year...
At Bank of America, the company told investors in January that it planned to cut its head count this year through slower hiring and attrition. But that task became more challenging, executives said, as fewer employees left the bank.
“Over the course of 2023, we’ve seen moving from 2022’s Great Resignation to a current level of a record low attrition in our company,” CEO Brian Moynihan told investors last month. “All that meant the team had to work harder to manage that head count down.”
Since January, Bank of America’s workforce has shrunk by about 6,000 full-time employees, to roughly 213,000 people. Read more.
What's the takeaway for workers? How can you successfully navigate this current work environment to either get a better job or a promotion with your current employer?

DR RICHARD KUBE JOINS DAWN BREAKING DOWN HEALTHCARE MONOPOLIES AND THE GOVERNMENT - EXPANDS ON HIS RECENT NEWSWEEK COLUMN...
Dr. Richard Kube: “Rising health care costs are a major concern for most Americans. A Pew poll from earlier this year found 64 percent of Americans consider health care affordability a "very big problem in our country today." That includes majorities of both parties—54 percent of Republicans and 73 percent of Democrats. Our country may struggle with division and polarization, but it's clear that health care is an area where bipartisan reform is possible….One of the key drivers for rising prices is consolidation in the health care market—when a smaller number of providers control a greater share of the overall market. Consolidation leads to less competition and therefore higher prices for consumers.”
Dr. Richard Kube: “The rise of consolidation and decline of small private practices did not happen by chance. It was the unintended consequence of government policies, such as Medicare's reimbursement rate, which pays large hospitals and hospital systems more than small doctor offices for the same care. This payment differential benefits large hospital systems, which buy up small doctor practices and charge consumers higher prices by simply affixing the company name to an existing facility's front door….A report from the American Enterprise Institute found that "for a 30-minute office visit, the physician fee schedule payment rate for calendar year 2017 was $109.46 for a new patient, while if delivered in a hospital setting, the total would be 68.5 percent higher or $184.44." This massive difference in reimbursement for the same service not only distorts the market, but, according to the researchers, it is "harmful to patients, who experience higher [Medicare] Part B coinsurance amounts due to bigger bills for the same clinical service."”
Dr. Richard Kube: “All of this can be resolved by ending two-tier Medicare reimbursement policies. Instead, the program should implement site-neutral reimbursement payments based on the care provided, not facility location or ownership….Site-neutral payment would put an end to the unfair policies that promote consolidation and encourage higher prices. Proposals to do so in Congress have support among Republicans and Democrats. Several congressional committees are now debating a health reform package that includes provisions to establish site neutrality in limited circumstances. That would be a vital first step, one which physicians across the country hope will soon expand to other services. After all, what could be more fair than reimbursing providers the same amount for the same service?”

DIRECTOR OF "THE SHEPHERD" IAIN SOFTLEY JOINS DAWN:
Based on the novella by the acclaimed author Frederick Forsyth, The Shepherd follows the story of a young RAF pilot flying home across the North Sea on Christmas Eve. He finds himself in peril when his radio and electric power cut out, leaving him stranded and running on limited fuel. Just when it appears his luck is about to run out, a mysterious good Samaritan appears above the fog below him and the story takes an unexpected turn.

BETSY BRANTNER SMITH OF THE NATIONAL POLICE ASSOC JOINS DAWN - BETSY EXPANDS ON THE HEIGHTENED LEVEL THREATS WITH THE STATE OF THE MIDDLE EAST AND ISRAEL - WHAT IS HER TAKE ON THE 30TH STREET PROTEST? MOBILE BILLBOARD TO BE IN PHILLY NEXT WEEK? BETSY ALSO RESPONDS TO THE REPORT BELOW:
(Axios)
FBI Director Christopher Wray warned Tuesday of "violent extremists" in the U.S. and abroad drawing inspiration from Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
The big picture: Part of Wray's warning includes possible extremist attacks toward Jewish and Muslim populations in the U.S., who have already experienced an increased number of threats since the war began.
What he's saying: "We assess that the actions of Hamas and its allies will serve as an inspiration the likes of which we haven't seen since ISIS launched its so-called caliphate years ago," Wray said Tuesday when testifying in front of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
Wray said that in just the past few weeks, "multiple foreign terrorist organizations have called for attacks against Americans and the West..."
The most immediate concern in the U.S., according to Wray, is "that violent extremists — individuals or small groups — will draw inspiration from the events in the Middle East to carry out attacks against Americans going about their daily lives."
"That includes not just homegrown violent extremists inspired by a foreign terrorist organization but also domestic violent extremists targeting Jewish or Muslim communities," Wray said.
Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith retired in 2009 as a 29-year veteran of a large metropolitan police department in the Chicago suburbs. Beginning her career as a police dispatcher at age 17, Betsy became an officer four years later and has held positions in patrol, investigations, narcotics, juvenile, hostage negotiation, crime prevention and field training. She received her four year degree from Western Illinois University in 1991, and was a class officer and graduate of the Northwestern University Center for Public Safety’s School of Staff and Command in May of 2001.
As a sergeant, she supervised her department’s K-9 Unit, served as a field training sergeant, recruitment team sergeant, bike patrol coordinator, Crowd Control Bike Team leader, and supervisor of the Community Education/Crime Prevention Unit. Betsy served on the Elderly Services Team, the Crisis Intervention Team, and was a proud founding supervisory member of NPD’s Honor Guard Unit. Betsy received numerous awards and commendations from her police department as well as many local and national awards for her performance as a police officer and supervisor.

CINDY ZIPF OF THE CLEAN OCEAN ACTION - CINDY JOINS DAWN LIVE TO BREAKDOWN THE NATIONAL NEWS AS ORSTED PULLS OUT OF THE WIND TURBINE WIND FARM PROJECT IN NJ - PHIL MURPHY FURIOUS - WHAT DOES THIS MEAN MOVING FORWARD? WILL THE ENVIRONMENTAL BASE REALIZE THIS IS DISRUPTING THE NATURAL HABITAT?
VIA NY TIMES -
Offshore Wind Firm Cancels N.J. Projects, as Industry’s Prospects Dim
Denmark’s Orsted said it would be forced to write off as much as $5.6 billion as wind developers in the U.S. faced wrenching financing costs.
Plans to build two wind farms off the coast of New Jersey were scrapped, the company behind them said on Wednesday, a blow to the state’s efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions and the latest shakeout in the U.S. wind industry.
The move, which will force Orsted, a Danish company, to write off as much as $5.6 billion, will crimp the Biden administration’s plans to make the wind industry a critical component of plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. High inflation and soaring interest rates are making planned projects that looked like winners several years ago no longer profitable.
“The world has in many ways, from a macroeconomic and industry point of view, turned upside down,” Mads Nipper, Orsted’s chief executive, said on a call with reporters on Wednesday.
The two projects, known as Ocean Wind 1 and 2, were destined to provide green energy to New Jersey. They were strongly backed by the state’s governor, Phil Murphy, a Democrat with national ambitions who stresses his environmental credentials but who has lately drawn scorn for falling short in combating climate change. On Wednesday he suggested that Orsted was a dishonest broker and insisted that the “future of offshore wind” along the state’s 130-mile coastline remained strong.
Cindy Zipf uses her passion for science and advocacy to create campaigns and programs to drive public policy and reduce pollution. Since its beginning in 1984, she has been at the helm of COA, the lean, green, ocean pollution fighting machine that is the only full-time ocean advocacy organization dedicated exclusively to the NY and NJ region. She reviews and evaluates regional, state, and federal policies for impacts to marine water quality and, through science, research and education, works toward solutions for issues of concern.
Cindy is a graduate of the University of Rhode Island with a B.A. in Geography and Marine Affairs with a special emphasis in marine science. In 1984 the waters off the NY/NJ coasts were known as the “Ocean Dumping Capitol of the World”, and in response, the COAlition was formed and consisted of 20 organizations. As a founder and a staff of one, Cindy has expanded the coalition to over 120 organizations and a professional staff of ten full-time employees.

Leigh Richardson of the Brain Performance Center joins Dawn to expand on the impact of Social Media on Mental Health, and the issues around viral apps like Tik Tok and Snapchat. Leigh responds to the report below...
Writing on KevinMD, neurosurgeon Marc Arginteanu, MD, argues social media may be altering our kids' brains.
A 2023 study of middle school-aged children laid out some alarming findings. Scientists recruited more than 150 children, all aged 12, from rural North Carolina public schools. The children were surveyed regarding their social media usage... The researchers performed functional MRIs, which are imaging studies that can evaluate brain anatomy and activity, on the children every year for 3 consecutive years. The researchers also asked the children a series of psychological questions.
Based on the answers to these questions, the scientists concluded that kids who check social media too often become hypersensitive to feedback from their peers. In other words, these children may enter a pathological psychological state, swinging from joy to dread, craving positive electronic reinforcement and fearing any disapproval mirrored in their screens.
The functional MRI results demonstrated that habitual social media users had significantly different brain activity than those who didn't pay much attention to platforms like Snapchat and others. The observed differences were widespread and included the amygdala (part of the limbic system, which regulates emotions), dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (associated with executive functions such as focusing attention and decision-making), insula (responsible for sensory processing, self-awareness, and emotional guidance of social behavior), and ventral striatum (part of the brain's reward system).
The essay goes into much more depth, including a possible link between TikTok and a psychogenic pseudo-Tourette's syndrome in certain susceptible teenagers.
What's the takeaway for parents? Should you try to limit your child's time on social media? If so, how do you do that? For perspective, turn to a woman who devotes her life to studying how the brain works - and its impact on behavior.
Brain Health Coach and Consultant Leigh Richardson's initial focus was on organizational behavior. She shifted to human behavior in 2003 after her son suffered a traumatic brain injury. Leigh has also been in ICU twice with brain injury. All of this fueled her need to understand how the brain works or why it doesn’t work.

AMY WILBURN - BANKRUPTCY ATTORNEY AT LINCOLN GOLDFINCH LAW JOINS DAWN.... AMY EXPANDS ON THE FOLLOWING PROMPTS...
FORBES REPORT ON AMERICA AND DEBT:
A quick check of headlines reveals a growing number of Americans are struggling to pay bills:
Forbes notes that Americans are falling behind on their auto loans at the fastest pace in almost 30 years.
Higher car prices and rising interest rates are hindering car owners’ ability to afford their vehicle payments, as 6.1% of subprime auto borrowers are at least 60 days past due on their loans, the highest percentage in data dating back to 1994, according to Bloomberg, which cited Fitch Ratings.
Insider adds that in the second quarter of this financial year, credit card debt surpassed $1 trillion for the first time in the NY Fed survey's history.
Adding to the financial struggles for many Americans, student loan payments that were paused for more than three years are resuming as well.
Will this lead to an increase in personal bankruptcies? What can people who are struggling financially do NOW to avoid that?

In the past two weeks, several Jewish megadonors and their allies have thunderously announced that they are pulling financial support from their alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania. The donor letters that have been made public thus far eviscerate Penn president Liz Magill and other university leaders for failing to condemn the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas on Israeli civilians as terrorism.

TODD SHEPHERD JOINS DAWN TO BREAKDOWN DELCO DA JACK STOLLSTEIMER IN HIS LATEST COLUMN: A top Delco Democrat rejects his party’s plea to fire Republican judges -
Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer is making clear he has no intention of following the advice of his county party, at least where the issue of judicial retention is concerned.
“Our Commonwealth’s constitution requires judicial retention elections to be nonpartisan for a reason: to protect the principle of judicial integrity. Personally, I plan to vote to retain Judges Cappelli, Dozor, and Mackrides, each of whom has earned my support,” Stollsteimer, a Democrat, told Broad + Liberty in an email.
Stollsteimer’s comment comes as the debate continues to heat up in Delaware County, especially among Democrats, as to whether the county Democratic Party should recommend to its voters that they vote “no” on retaining the three judges Stollsteimer named — all three of whom have either run as Republican in the past or welcomed Republican endorsements.

FOX 29 PHILADELPHIA - A Philadelphia police officer was killed late Thursday night and another was injured after a shooting inside a parking garage at the Philadelphia International Airport.
Both officers had just arrived to work at the airport, when Interim Commissioner John Stanford says they came across a group of suspects attempting to break into a vehicle in the garage.
The officers approached the suspects who proceeded to open fire. One of the officers was shot multiple times in the torso and the other was shot in the arm.
The officer who was hit multiple times was rushed to Penn Presbyterian Hospital where he was pronounced dead just after 11:30 p.m., Stanford said. The second officer was taken to Jefferson Hospital where he was listed in stable condition.The slain officer was a 22-year veteran of the Philadelphia Police Department, according to Stanford, and was married with one child. Stanford described the killing as a "numb moment" for his department after three officers were injured in a shooting last week.Sgt.

(Axios)
A trio of new studies paints a grim picture of how overdose deaths, depression and barriers to care are... aligning to widen health disparities as the U.S. emerges from the pandemic...
Overdose deaths
What they found: Educational attainment was a huge factor in who might die from an overdose from 2000 to 2021, with differences becoming especially stark during the pandemic, a study published last week in JAMA Health Forum found.
From 2019 to 2021, the overdose death rate for people who didn't attend college at all increased by 30.6 per 100,000 people, the study found. In contrast, the death rate for people with at least some college increased by only 4.5 per 100,000...
"The opioid crisis has increasingly become a crisis disproportionately impacting those without any college education," the study concludes.
Teens with depression
What they found: In 2021, 1 in 5 adolescents had major depressive disorder, but less than half who needed treatment received any, per a study published this week in JAMA Pediatrics.
Teenagers of color — particularly Latinos — had the lowest treatment rates...
Adult depression and mortality
What they found: Adults with depression — particularly moderate or severe cases — are at higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease, ischemic heart disease and other causes, according to a new study in JAMA Network Open...
In 2020, some 21 million U.S. adults (8.4%) had at least one major depressive episode. Researchers noted the onset of cardiovascular disease occurs an average of 7.5 years earlier in adults with mood disorders. Read more.
What is driving these spikes in depression and overdose deaths? And what can each of us do to help a loved one who may be struggling with these issues?

Scott Presler of Early Vote Action joins Dawn to expand on the game plan the GOP needs to follow with early and mail in voting. Read more about Early Vote Action below.
Early Vote Action PA (“EVA”) was created to achieve a strict purpose — organize & mobilize Republicans to vote early, so that by the time Election Day rolls around, the Republican victory is already baked in.
At EVA, we’re intent on marshaling the time, labor, and resources of conservatives around the country to achieve this goal in 2024, with a specific focus on the key swing states of Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
The foremost goal for Republicans in 2024 is to take back the White House, and the path to 270 Electoral College votes runs through these five key swing states.
If we win these swing states, Republicans will retake the Senate, strengthen our hold on the House, retake the North Carolina Governor’s Mansion, retake the Nevada Legislature, strengthen our holds on the other respective states’ legislatures, and see victories in down-ballot races at the county and local levels.
It will be efficient, precise trickle-down organizing & mobilizing.
Importantly, also, at EVA we’re working to ensure that Republicans from every state are operating not merely as 50 disjointed operations, but rather as one team of concerned American conservatives fighting to win the necessary electoral fights to retake our country.
Because if we retake these five key states, we can continue our movement’s march into every state across the country with powerful momentum, until every state on the map is ruby Republican red!
Whether you’re in Tulsa or Jersey City, Bar Harbor or Anchorage, at EVA we are ready to connect with you to organize teams of conservative Americans, build phone banks and letter writing centers, provide the requisite data to engage with the voters we need to get to the polls, and get them to the polls early.
We’re ready to win, and we’re intent on ensuring that our path to victory begins on the day ballots go out.
To reach this goal, we need you on our team, because when we organize and mobilize we win.

Director Christopher Sharp of "The People's President" now streaming on Disney + and Hulu joins Dawn to expand on the new documentary focused on Uganda, and the struggle to fight for freedom and fair elections nationwide.
Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, famously known as Bobi Wine, is a musician
turned politician who is the current leader of the National Unity Platform (NUP) and
the People Power Movement. Bobi was born in Mpigi District in Uganda on Feb.
12, 1982. He grew up in the Kamwokya slums in the northeast part of Kampala.
His mother was a nurse, and his father was a veterinarian and farmer.
Bobi is a singer, musician, actor and activist. He has campaigned for hospital
sanitization, malaria prevention, refugees’ rights and children’s education. His
songs are known as peaceful protest and edutainment (a mix between education
and entertainment), focusing on the struggles of Uganda’s underprivileged and low-
income earners and calling upon young people to join politics and change their
country’s destiny. He is married to Barbara Itungo Kyagulanyi, known as Barbie,
with whom he has four children.
His characteristic enthusiasm for democratic discourse and the popularity he had
earned from his prior artistic and philanthropic endeavors successfully endured his
transition to politics. Bobi Wine continues to lead the NUP, the largest political
opposition party in Uganda and has become the main opposition leader to
President Museveni’s rule.
Christopher Sharp was born in Uganda and has a deep appreciation for the
country’s people, culture and extraordinary natural beauty. He spent his early
working life as a film editor in London and more recently has revisited the
profession as director of ‘Bobi Wine: The People’s President’.
He met Bobi and Barbie in 2017 and was inspired by their courage. Christopher
believed in their extraordinary capacity to enact change, and instantly knew that
their enormous sacrifice and resilience needed to be documented.
He worked closely with a number of talented individuals, including Editor Paul
Carlin, as well as acclaimed Producer John Battsek, Co-Director Moses Bwayo,
and other inspirational cinematographers. Collectively they have made a film which
he hopes gives courage to all those who struggle under oppressive regimes.

Betsy joins Dawn to react to the latest trends around policing, as police chases rise and deaths caused by these incidents are also rising... Dawn expands on Philly Policing specifically - under new leadership as the 4th largest force in the nation, the Philadelphia PD community is hoping to get a grip on the city's crime trends... Besty then responds to the recent AP report
(AP) — Aiming to curb the hundreds of deaths caused by police chases in the U.S. each year, a new report calls for police not to start a pursuit unless a violent crime has been committed and the suspect poses an imminent threat.
The study released Tuesday by the Police Executive Research Forum, a national think tank on policing standards, follows a spike in fatalities from police chases during the pandemic and the criticism of several police departments for the increased use of pursuits, including in Houston and New York City.
The report produced by a committee of experts and policing executives says police chases should be rare, noting that the danger to suspects, officers and bystanders often outweighs the immediate need to take someone into custody.
"A lot of this has to do with the new thinking in policing today, which is about proportionality," said Chuck Wexler, executive director of PERF. "It's about the sanctity of life and balancing the risk to everyone. Police officers die in pursuits. Suspects die in pursuits and even citizens can be injured or die."

Phil Kerpen: “The Biden administration’s infatuation with electric vehicles is no secret, with billions in subsidies lavished on them in the so-called Inflation Reduction Act and now direct bribes to vehicle manufacturers to shift their production. But the president’s so-called “transition” is not being driven only by massive subsidies, but by draconian mandates that will make gasoline-powered vehicles difficult to find and exorbitantly priced far sooner than most Americans expect….Biden’s goal is laid out plainly on the Green New Deal page of JoeBiden.com, which commits to “developing rigorous new fuel economy standards aimed at ensuring 100% of new sales for light- and medium-duty vehicles will be electrified” and was formalized in Biden Executive Order 14037, which sets “a goal that 50 percent of all new passenger cars and light trucks sold in 2030 be zero-emission vehicles, including battery electric, plug-in hybrid electric, or fuel cell electric vehicles.”….This policy is contrary to law. Specifically, 49 U.S.C. § 32902(h)(1), which states NHTSA “may not consider the fuel economy of dedicated automobiles,” defined as “an automobile that operates only on alternative fuel.” This is precisely what the Biden rules do.”

Thomas Kimbrell of the Americans for Prosperity Foundation joins Dawn to expand on the lack of Telehealth in PA post-COVID, and the harsh reality of working in the PA healthcare system with constant changes in rules and regulations.
Thomas recently wrote about this issue, see below...
Thomas Kimbrell: “As the country marks national Telehealth Awareness Week, a new investigation reveals that Pennsylvanians are losing access to remote health services. Initial findings of a study conducted by Americans for Prosperity Foundation (AFPF) show that patients have lost access to thousands of health care providers from other states offering telehealth services to Pennsylvanians….In early 2020, patients sick from the first wave of COVID-19 were flooding Pennsylvania’s health systems. To ramp up services, on March 18, 2020, Gov. Tom Wolf authorized health care practitioners licensed in other states to provide telehealth services to Pennsylvanians without obtaining a Pennsylvania license. Out-of-state practitioners were required to be in good standing in their state of practice and submit their licensure information to the appropriate Pennsylvania health-licensing board….This new flexibility greatly expanded access to health care, but last summer, the Pennsylvania Department of State began phasing it out. The out-of-state waivers officially expired on June 30, 2022….For over two years, Pennsylvanians had enjoyed expanded health care access, establishing intimate patient-provider relationships with out-of-state health care practitioners via telemedicine. These patients no longer have access to their providers.”
Thomas Kimbrell is an analyst on the Legal and Judicial team at Americans For Prosperity Foundation, whose work focuses on regulatory reform and government transparency. Previously, Thomas worked as an investigative analyst at Cause of Action Institute, where he utilized oversight tools such as the FOIA in his work to limit the power of the administrative state and check government overreach. Before moving to the D.C. area, Thomas worked as the office manager at a law firm in San Diego and as department lead at another firm in Atlanta.

She received her medical degree from Weill Cornell Medicine and has been in practice for more than 20 years.
Dr. Marlene Wust-Smith: “Electrocardiograms, x-rays, casting, stitches– you name it, the government will pay the “hospital doctor” more. Except that the actual doctor doesn’t see a penny of the upcharges. That money is pocketed by the greedy bureaucrats that have hijacked healthcare….The solution is simple: Medicare needs to adopt a site-neutral payment system that pays hospitals the same rate as it pays its independent doctors.”

The failure of our elected officials to ensure that policies and plans were in place to hold him in custody until he was transferred to state prison — or (my preference) extradited to Brazil — is inexcusable. This convicted murderer is here illegally and there is a warrant for his arrest in his native Brazil. " Read more from Guy on this subject here.

Dawn is joined by Dawn to speak on the Biden Budget, and how Healthcare & insulin are impacting the current structure.
Dean Clancy: “The president says he’s doing something about Medicare, but doing something is not the same as doing something smart,” said Dean Clancy, senior health policy fellow at Americans for Prosperity. “We don’t need tax hikes, price controls or benefit cuts to protect Medicare—we can modernize the program through reforms that increase competition, such as enacting site-neutral payments for doctors.”
Dean F. Clancy is a senior policy fellow at Americans for Prosperity and a Paragon Health Institute public advisor. A specialist in U.S. health care, tax, budget, and entitlement policy with nearly three decades of high-level experience in Congress, the White House, and the U.S. health care industry—he played a role in the creation of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and is a long-time advocate for making this powerful tool available to all Americans.

Peacock’s new reality series The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning is about a team of people who come to your house and clean out all your crap so your family doesn’t have to do it when you’re dead. (Hang on, stay with me!). Sounds morbid, right? It’s not. Executive produced and narrated by Amy Poehler, it’s actually a funny, heartwarming, transformational series in which a team of “death cleaners” from Sweden help their subjects sort out, not just their home, but their lives and relationships by facing their mortality, speaking honestly about death, and confronting all the “crap” that’s been collecting dust for years. As the woman in the trailer says “I knew you were going to declutter my house; I didn’t know you would declutter my soul.” In each episode, Amy Poehler hilariously guides us through stories about dealing with our “stuff,” leaving us smiling with a lighter view of death and a more celebratory vision for the future. Think Marie Kondo meets Queer Eye. Watch the trailer – you’ll get it. Katarina, Ella, and Johan all join Dawn to break down what to expect from the new series!

Ambassador Francis Rooney joins Dawn to speak on inflation, American coastlines, and his work around Religion: “First, get control of inflation, which is largely driven by excess deficit spending — stop spending money and reduce the cost of an out-of-control government. The so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” is a joke — a massive spending spree to be paid for by the taxpayers. Twenty-nine percent of all money in circulation today was created since February 2020. Isn’t that incredibly profligate? Turn off the spigot and reduce cost. Just like every household must do.”

A new report - released today - by the National Opportunity Project shows hundreds of millions of dollars in federal Covid relief intended for disadvantaged students has failed to reach them.
The first-of-its-kind report, which relied on public records requests, research, and direct communication with state education officials in all 50 states, found that at least $736 million across 27 states has been or is at risk of being diverted away from the country’s youngest and most at-risk students.
In many cases, these funds are instead being used by governors on pet projects having little to do with education.
Here are just a few examples of where these K-12 funds are being spent (for a comprehensive list, click here):
Alaska gave $1.2 million toward a program that uses the video game Minecraft to teach coding.
Oregon gave $1.6 million to “Moonshot for Equity,” a multi-year initiative aimed at “eliminating equity barriers” in several state colleges.
West Virginia used $600,000 for awards to 12 public schools that won a statewide “I Got Vaxxed!” competition.
Patrick Hughes, president and founder of the National Opportunity Project:
“The fact that we found at least $736 million in federal funding that has not reached our K-12 schools is alarming. It should not be used by governors for grants on special projects when young and low-income students are months or even years behind in learning. We are working to get the remaining federal funding to the independent, private, and religious school students Congress intended to reach.”

Amazon Freevee’s new docu-style comedy series, Jury Duty, chronicles the inner workings of an American jury trial through the eyes of one particular juror, Ronald Gladden. What Gladden doesn’t know is that the entire case is fake, everyone except him is an actor, including James Marsden, and everything that happens — inside the courtroom and out — is carefully planned.
Jury Duty originated with a question: Was it possible to make a sitcom like The Office about a trial, populate it with brilliant comedic performers, and put a real person at the center of the show who doesn’t realize he's surrounded by actors? Ronald Gladden, a solar contractor from San Diego, CA, is the hero of the story, and completely unaware this is not an official jury duty summons. James Marsden stars as an alternate version of himself alongside an ensemble cast of comedic actors.
Alan Barinholtz (father of comedy actors Ike and Jon Barinholtz) was a Chicago-based attorney for most of his life, and now – in his first major acting role – Alan portrays the judge presiding over one of the most outlandish court cases in TV history. Alan, who can also be seen in History of the World Part II, can share his experiences in this uniquely inventive comedy experiment. Watch the series starting April 7th on Amazon Freevee.
