- On Thursday, a disagreement over parking in Rittenhouse Square lead to the shooting of a delivery driver.
- Michael Bresnan—President of Philadelphia Firefighters & Paramedics’ Union Local 22—joins the show to talk about how the city is not providing a cancer-stricken Fire Department Battalion Chief with the pension, medical coverage, and benefits he is entitled to as a firefighter who had been exposed to hazardous materials. Bresnan explains that John Narkin has given his entire life to the city of Philadelphia and that every politician in the city needs push Mayor Kenney to fix this injustice.
- Yeadon Borough Council voted to terminate Police Chief Anthony Paparo in a 4 to 3 vote on Thursday night. Reports suggest that several city council members had explicitly mentioned Paparo’s race when considering his employment—leaving many to conclude that the firing was racially motivated. Chief Paparo joins the show to talk about what happened and express gratitude for the overwhelming support he has received from the community.
- Fears of a Russian invasion of Ukraine persist despite claims from Moscow that they are withdrawing troops from the border.
