Full Hour | In today’s third hour, FOP Lodge 5 Vice President John McGrody brings in a doodle and sits down for an interview with Giordano. First, Giordano and McGrody discuss the doodle itself and move into a conversation about other doodles, including Maureen Faulkner’s drawn police badge of her late husband Danny Faulkner, who was killed by Mumia Abu-Jamal. This leads Giordano and McGrody to reflect upon other tragedies that the FOP stepped up to help with, telling of the safety hazards that Philadelphia officers face on a daily basis. Also, McGrody updates the situation on recruiting, revealing pitiful turnouts for new officers, and tells what the FOP is doing to fight back against progressive policies that continue to hinder the Police Department’s ability to do their job.

Then, Giordano spends some time forecasting the upcoming election, offering his opinions on the campaigns of Senate candidates of to this point. Out of this comes a conversation between Giordano and producer Dan about the potential disqualifiers for candidates, with Giordano making a point about the importance of debates. Giordano suggests that both McCormick and Oz involve themselves in debates, and argues that without a debate he couldn’t bring himself to support either candidate. For the remainder of the hour, Giordano floats between the rest of the topics talked about during the show, and asks listeners for something or somebody that is intimidating.
