Flood Emergencies Spread Across The Philadelphia Region

Dawn’s Big Three starts with “water and waves.” We cover flood emergencies, seven-inch rainfall reports, evacuations and the first responders who keep the regional disaster from producing reported deaths or major injuries. The story moves west to Ryder Williams, the 16-year-old rookie lifeguard who holds onto a 10-year-old boy through violent Santa Cruz surf and then takes part in two more rescues. We next play Trump’s Lindsey Graham eulogy, including the barroom story from Graham’s childhood and the account of him raising his younger sister after both parents died. The hour then returns to Capitol Hill as Ron Johnson questions Fauci about ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine and emergency-use rules. We read Trump’s post defending Operation Warp Speed while blaming Fauci and Democratic governors for shutdown policy and mandates. After arguing that public hearings still matter even when prison is unlikely, the crew jokes about Nick packing up before the microphones stop.
