Full Show For July 28 2026

We open with Washington, D.C.’s appetite for unusual food, Nick’s willingness to try nearly anything and a memorable debate over “Kamala olives.” From there, we turn to the Fauci diary ahead of his congressional testimony, focusing on his early private views about COVID mortality, the lab-leak theory, school closures, media access and his contact with Jake Tapper. We play CIA whistleblower James Erdman III, discuss the money trail and hear callers describe medical distrust, school-sports concerns, hospital isolation and the lasting effects of pandemic rules. We cover wheel thefts in Fairmount, an off-duty Philadelphia officer’s self-defense claim, the Royersford door-kick challenge, Plymouth Township’s rejection of a huge data center and the Ocean Casino shutdown after a fire and burst pipe. We also discuss Bryan Kohberger’s new innocence claim, Iranian threats against Melania and Barron Trump, the Phillies’ collapse against Miami, LeBron James’ reported New York living plan and the shooting involving Eric Bieniemy’s family. Zohran Mamdani’s five municipal grocery stores bring a long argument over subsidies, competition, thin grocery margins and the failed Kansas City Sun Fresh example. The Cut Sheet moves through Howard Stern’s reduced schedule, Kaitlan Collins’ response to Trump’s correspondents’ dinner jokes, polling on Iran, the Pennsylvania 7th District race and the push to keep Mamdani away from the 25th-anniversary September 11 ceremony. We react to the tanmaxxing trend, a 16-year-old lifeguard’s rescue in Santa Cruz, Dr. Craig Wax’s bike-ride stories and Matt Rooney’s return for the Fauci discussion. Fight Club delivers a slow-motion fast-food brawl, Haley Stevens answers jokes about her voice, Phil Almquist marks July 28 in music history, and Dawn’s Big Three closes with Jersey Shore sharks, Lindsey Graham’s funeral, Trump’s GM visit, tiny cars and an update on Big Bear bald eagle Jackie.
