In the second hour of the show, regular caller Lenny in Pitman reminded Dom of a Fox News report this week by Lawrence Jones, which took an in-depth look at the situation evolving in Kensington. In the piece, Jones noted that the Kensington section of Philadelphia echoes similar sentiments to Los Angeles's Skid Row in the 1970s. Giordano and Producer Dan explain that they're incredibly happy to see the situation being reported on a national platform, further noting the lack of interest and understanding of the tragic situation from those who don't see or feel any effect of the opioid epidemic. This turns into a conversation about the relentless electing of Democrats by Philadelphians, with Giordano asking his oft-asked question, "if people recognize the issue, why do they continue to vote for the same leaders?"
