PECO Union Goes On Historic Strike As Severe Flash Flooding Slams Philadelphia

Dawn opens the Monday show breaking down the historic PECO union strike, marking the first time in company history that members have walked out, leaving thousands without power amidst severe flash flooding alerts across the Philadelphia area. We dive into a stunning twist of events on the international soccer stage, where Donald Trump picked up the phone to call FIFA President Gianni Infantino, successfully demanding a review of the controversial red card suspension given to American star player Folarin Balogun. Dawn also covers Trump's massive $6 billion corporate backing for new tax-advantaged investment accounts for American children, highlighted by major commitments from Michael and Susan Dell. The crew shifts focus to a devastating local tragedy as multiple Philadelphia police officers and their families file lawsuits against the city over fatal brain cancers linked to toxic radioactive contamination at the old Frankfurt Arsenal Complex. Additionally, we provide an update on the heartbreaking line-of-duty death of Pennsylvania State Trooper Michael Pajera Jr., who was killed by an illegal Haitian national driving a semi-truck on I-81. Dawn reacts to the state troopers' demands for absolute transparency regarding why this individual was permitted to remain in the United States after being ordered to leave. Frank Scales and Ian McGinnis from Surge Philly join the studio to celebrate their one-year anniversary and share wild field footage from Independence Day protests in Washington, D.C. and New York City. The crew reacts to viral encounters with left-wing agitators, including a puzzled protester struggling to define fascism and an organized Antifa group chat that deployed a human wall to block journalists on public property. Finally, Dawn tackles the fiscal realities of illegal immigration, pushing back on progressive virtue signaling by proposing a new digital "opt-in" box on federal tax returns so wealthy elites can personally finance non-citizen benefits out of their own pockets.
