Jersey Shore Shark Sightings Surge

Phil Almquist marks July 28 in music history with Jacoby Shaddix, Dusty Hill, Deep Purple, Slipknot, Tom Petty, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Aerosmith and the former WFIL American Bandstand studio. The final stretch moves into Dawn’s Big Three with severe-weather warnings and the first shark footage from the Jersey Shore. That handoff sets up the last half-hour of the supplied show file. Dawn’s Big Three begins with reports that Jersey Shore shark sightings have surged, plus drone footage of an injured shark near Sea Bright and a huge shark near Seaside Park. We trade Shark Week jokes, discuss cages and aquariums and return to the Santa Cruz rescue. The footage prompts a serious talk about filming emergencies, trained lifeguards, human chains and the risk of untrained helpers becoming victims. The second story covers Lindsey Graham’s funeral in Washington, with Trump set to speak and Benjamin Netanyahu and Volodymyr Zelenskyy attending. We discuss Graham’s reputation as a strong supporter of military action, Trump’s blunt description of him and the proper balance of warmth, humor and honesty in a eulogy. A David Hasselhoff tangent adds Baywatch and cheeseburger memories between the major stories. The third story follows Trump’s visit to General Motors’ Milford Proving Ground, where an Epstein heckler is drowned out by the crowd. We discuss auto tariffs, domestic production, compact cars and Nick’s costly truck before the crew talks him out of downsizing. Dawn closes with Big Bear bald eagle Jackie, who remains stable but critical after a fight with younger eagles and treatment for severe anemia and kidney inflammation.
