Power Plants With Hard Drives And Data Centers,

Today in Music History closes the hour with birthdays for Slash, Martin Gore, John Rutsey and Nick Menza, plus Amy Winehouse, Sun Studio and the Iranian rock ban that inspires “Rock the Casbah. Dawn’s Big Three begins with a Secret Service agent placed on leave over a suspected leak involving JD Vance’s travel details. The second story follows a juvenile accused of setting American flags on fire at homes in Perkiomen Township, leading us to separate protected speech from arson and property damage. We then discuss the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that requires game wardens and other officials to obtain warrants before entering clearly posted private land. The “I Play Rocky” trailer brings the show back to Philadelphia and Sylvester Stallone’s refusal to sell his script unless he stars in the movie. We connect his persistence to the morning’s arguments about work ethic, risk and self-belief. Dawn’s third story covers Upper Merion’s proposed data-center sites, with residents warning about noise, electricity use, secrecy and projects they describe as “power plants with hard drives.” We finish with New Jersey’s admission that roughly 6,600 people who identified themselves as noncitizens were mistakenly registered to vote through the motor-vehicle system, with fewer than 400 casting ballots. We discuss Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s response, the vendor’s competing account and the Justice Department probe. The show closes with Gilbert police rescuing a three-year-old during an armed standoff and an emotional tribute to the fallen officers’ families supported by Families Behind the Badge.
