Full Show For Friday October 16 2026

Round number one, 6:06, the great Dawn Stensland.

And good morning on this happy Friday, October the 16th.

So we're a little over two weeks to the midterm elections, if you're counting and making sure that you're registered and all that good stuff.

Severe storm warnings.

Uh, we could have...

We could see severe storms moving in as early as 4:00 this afternoon.

A lot of weather alerts, but hot today, so all the timing and the forecast upcoming.

We are sponsored this morning by the Philly Pops.

Let's get to it.

Federal investigators- Releasing information that they are looking into these suspicious letters.

They were mailed to state election officials, and we're told some of them, yes, in our region, as well as congressional officers, some of which did contain unknown powdery substances or substances.

That's how this is being described.

At least a half dozen Senate offices of Democrats were, according to the authorities, sent these letters, most of which were intercepted, thank God, before they were delivered.

Uh, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's office was one of those targeted.

That's, um, making national news this morning.

The FBI as well as the US Postal Inspection Service investigating these suspicious mailings, and, uh, that's according to the f- the federal authorities, like I say.

They're saying that some of the letters did contain an unknown substance.

They were sent to, quote, "various addresses across the nation," so this appears to be coordinated and specifically toward Democrats, and some election offices and/or election officials.

So we expect to get some kind of, you know, new information and update today.

But we know that the Senate Sergeant at Arms also issuing a notice to congressional staff informing them of this investigation.

And, um, you know, the congressional offices were among those who received these suspicious letters.

So we did have, uh, a release of a statement for Delaware Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester saying that a state office received a suspicious letter that contained a white powder, and the letter was never opened in the office.

Uh, there was a- another letter meant for New York Senator Kirsten, um, uh, Gillibrand.

She w- uh, that, that one was found at the senator's office, so it did make its way into the office in New York City.

Postal inspectors were on the scene to investigate that one, and there are other reports of, uh, local senators, local officials as well.
