Full Show For Wednesday August 5 2026

We open with America’s unmatched thirst for tequila, Long Island iced tea memories and a packed slate that quickly turns serious. Dawn brings us skeletal remains found in Northeast Philadelphia, Larry Krasner’s push to appeal or retry the Moses Walker murder case, cyberattacks aimed at New Jersey water systems and the Minnesota Chipotle salmonella probe. Phil Almquist follows Luis Arraez’s productive Phillies debut, the green laser aimed at Trea Turner, Jaylen Brown’s chip-on-the-shoulder message to Philadelphia and Penn State’s preseason ranking. Our Big Take centers on alleged home-care fraud in Pennsylvania, where nineteen defendants face charges tied to millions in false Medicaid claims. We dig into aides accused of billing while jailed, hospitalized or working elsewhere, Dr. Oz’s figures on Pennsylvania personal-care payments, voter-roll changes and a Flushing senior daycare under scrutiny. From there, we track Abdul El-Sayed’s tight Michigan primary win, clash over AIPAC and Israel, question the armed man arrested near Trump’s Los Angeles golf club and assess ICE’s record-setting month. Tony Bruno joins us for a Cut Sheet loaded with an OnlyFans algorithm excuse, a Maui beach-chair knockout, Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out memories, an Ohio father’s confrontation with his daughter’s accused rapist and a DSA leader’s evasive prison answer. We also take on the Max Miller allegations, Josh Shapiro’s reported LeBron James pitch, Kamala Harris’ Malibu mansion, the Reflecting Pool dispute, Trump’s oil-company criticism, the Iran war and a Mexican League baseball brawl. Dawn's Big Three covers the Strait of Hormuz, Trump’s security risk, Michigan and the Moses Walker case before we close with Perez Hilton’s public crisis,
