The Crew Checks Mackenzie’s Education And Work History

Dawn’s Big Three begins with Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District. Bob Brooks attacks Ryan Mackenzie’s résumé and voting record, while Gov. Josh Shapiro credits his administration with lower crime, lower homicide totals and child-care tax relief. We test the claims heard in the clips, discuss Shapiro’s speaking style and ask whether the Bethlehem rally doubles as an early 2028 presidential audition. Ryan Mackenzie answers with tax relief, a larger standard deduction and no federal tax on tips, overtime and Social Security. We discuss his television delivery, his effort to separate his record from the attacks and NBC10’s decision to air both campaigns. The conversation widens into Kamala Harris, Shapiro’s national prospects, his Jewish identity and the Iran war’s growing role in a district that could help decide House control. Dawn’s second story covers a hot-air balloon caught by a gust at a Richland Township carnival, lifting a crew member before the basket tips and three people go to the hospital. Her third story heads to Ocean City’s Night in Venice, where Randy Quaid and John Kruk serve as grand marshals for an America 250 theme. We finish with pontoon dreams, a fierce argument over Ocean City’s boardwalk and beach rules, Ana’s exit and one last PA-7 spending comparison
