Full Show For Tuesday July 7 2026

We kick off this Tuesday on Kayal and Company with Sean Farash in for Greg Stocker, Dawn Stensland on news, and the whole crew reacting to Team USA’s 4–1 World Cup loss to Belgium. The soccer talk turns into a full crew roast of fake soccer fandom, player theatrics, and the sudden national passion that disappears the second America exits. Dawn’s news brings us into local stories across the Delaware Valley, from the PECO strike deal and South Jersey flooding to the BJ’s roof collapse in Ocean Township, the Bucknell hazing charges tied to CJ Dickey’s death, and the tragic drowning of three-year-old Elijah Stephen. Nick’s Big Take centers on two arguments the right says it gets proven right on: the effect of illegal immigration on housing costs and the media treatment of the Patriot Front Metro photo. We dig into the Dallas Fed working paper cited in the New York Post, revisit Scott Jennings being pressed on CNN, and talk through the basic supply-and-demand argument around housing, rent, and illegal immigration. From there, we get into the July 4 Patriot Front march, the viral Reuters image on the Metro, Jake Tapper’s reaction, and the contrast Nick draws with the Charlotte train murder of Iryna Zarutska. The biggest political story of the morning is Graham Platner, as Politico’s report on a sexual assault allegation sends Democrats scrambling before Maine’s July 13 withdrawal deadline. We play the CNN interview with Jenny Racicot, Platner’s response, John Fetterman ripping him on Fox News, and a full cut sheet of Democrats who once praised him or downplayed prior warning signs. Matt Rooney joins for Fight Club, Trump and Hannity impressions, Bernie and Levin chaos, a Memphis brawl, Trump Accounts, Waymo’s July 4 gridlock in San Francisco, and the 9 AM hour rolls into Today in Music History before Dawn’s Big Three begins with Trump in Turkey and the NATO summit.
