Full Show For Wednesday July 29 2026

We open with new federal survey data showing daily marijuana use passing daily alcohol and cigarette use, then trade first-drink stories before turning to the Lindsay Clancy trial. From there, we set up Vindication Week with released Joe Biden ghostwriter recordings, his handling of classified papers and the sharp contrast we see between the Biden inquiry and the Mar-a-Lago raid. The biggest political event unfolds live as Anthony Fauci appears before Rand Paul’s Senate committee, invokes the Fifth Amendment and refuses question after question tied to his diary, Wuhan research, lockdowns and pandemic policy. We also take on Mitch McConnell’s absence, proof-of-life photos and Andy Beshear’s demand that he speak publicly or resign. That opens a wider argument over aging lawmakers, term limits, taxpayer-funded pensions, stock-trading loopholes and why two dozen members of Congress are at least 80. New Jersey’s mistaken registration of 6,600 noncitizens, Philadelphia’s ICE Out package, city-run grocery stores in New York and sports-betting money flowing into the midterms keep the political discussion moving. Closer to home, we cover severe flooding across Bucks County and the wider Philadelphia region, Honda wheel thefts, Jalen Carter’s record Eagles extension and another brutal Phillies loss. Tony Bruno joins for a packed Cut Sheet featuring Tony Romo’s OWI body-camera footage, Trump’s Tic Tac technique, Chicago transit crime signs and a fierce sleepover and helicopter-parenting argument. Dawn’s Big Three brings the regional flood response, Ryder Williams’ ocean rescue, Trump’s Lindsey Graham eulogy and fresh Fauci clips
