Hour 1 of The Dawn Stensland Show:
- A judge has dismissed third-degree murder charges against Jayana Tanae Webb—the woman accused of killing Pennsylvania State Troopers Branden Sisca and Martin Mack II in a crash on I-95. According to police, Webb’s blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit when she struck, and killed, two state troopers and a pedestrian. District Attorney Larry Krasner has vowed to refile the dismissed charges. Webb, however, still faces several other charges in relation to the crash.
- Phillip Magness—Director of Research and Education at the American Institute for Economic Research & Author of “The 1619 Project: A Critique”—joins the show to discuss his latest editorial, “Is Twitter-Famous Princeton Historian Kevin Kruse a Plagiarist?” Recently, Dr. Magness brought several incidents of plagiarism to the attention of Princeton University involving publications made by one of their most prominent professors, Kevin Kruse. Why is Princeton ignoring these credible allegations of academic dishonesty?
- On Thursday morning, the U.S. Supreme Court issued rulings in two cases. In Berger v. North Carolina State Conference of the NAACP, an 8-1 majority ruled that North Carolina legislators have the legal authority to defend voter identification laws. In New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen, a 6-3 majority struck down a New York State law that restricted concealed carry permits. The Wall Street Journal referred to it as the “biggest Second Amendment case in a decade.”
- According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, although homicides in Philadelphia are down slightly from this time last year, shootings have actually increased by 8%—with 1,100 people having been shot.
