Full Show For Tuesday August 11 2026

We open a Rooney-less Tuesday with Matt Rooney tied up in court, an unforgettable discussion about fecal-transplant pills being studied for severe peanut allergies, and a packed news slate with Philadelphia at the center. Dawn gets into Bryce Harper’s appearance in a personalized FanDuel video sent to a man who says he battles gambling addiction, the search for suspects connected to the Billy Schmidt murder investigation, and charges against a former Bucks County preschool worker accused of rough handling a two-year-old. We also get into President Trump’s childhood-vaccine executive order, the secret security maneuver used to move Trump out of Turkey amid an Iranian threat, a Phillies win in St. Louis, and Nick’s Big Take on Francesca Hong, AOC and the WNBA controversy surrounding DiJonai Carrington and Sophie Cunningham. The vaccine debate takes center stage when we dig through newly released text messages from Anthony Fauci’s government phone, including his private discussion with Rochelle Walensky and Vivek Murthy about a theoretical first-trimester miscarriage concern. We also hear a disputed interpretation of 2021 pregnancy data, Dawn shares her own deeply personal experience with miscarriages, and the crew argues over what the government knew, when officials knew it and how much trust was lost during the pandemic. From there, the Cut Sheet brings us back to Trump’s secret flight switch, Hunter Biden’s lengthy sit-down with Tucker Carlson, newly released police video from the deadly Folly Beach DUI case, Nashville Lt. Mike Hotz talking a man away from the edge of a bridge, and the Shake Shack kiosk controversy that launches an all-out tipping debate. The final stretch brings a Long Island Little League team’s five-hour no-phone rule, a wild Fight Club entry, the lockdown aboard Alaska Airlines Flight 305, and a federal push aimed at recruiting gamers for air traffic control work. We also size up Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial primary, Troy Jackson’s Senate bid in Maine, resurfaced clips showing Zohran Mamdani changing the way he speaks in different settings, and Phil’s rapid-fire music-history segment. Dawn’s Big Three then takes over with the Billy Schmidt manhunt, a heated debate over RFK Jr.’s autism claims and research priorities, another pass through the Fauci pregnancy texts, and some welcome Sixers news as LeBron James prepares for opening night against the Knicks and a Christmas Day return to Los Angeles. The available transcript closes as Dawn turns the discussion toward the rising age of first-time mothers across recent decades.
