The U.S. Loses 4–1, Democrats Lose Plattner, And Bernie Loses the Plot

The final stretch of the hour rolls into Trump Accounts, with the crew playing CNN’s explanation of the $1,000 accounts for eligible kids and discussing why the program can be a political winner. Nick, Dawn, Sean, Jimmy, and Rooney joke about family deposits, babies born on July 4, and whether Uncle Nick should contribute. The cut sheet closes with Waymo robotaxis in San Francisco running into July 4 chaos, cars stuck in traffic, batteries dying, and a debate over whether self-driving cars, Uber, or SEPTA is the worst option. Today in Music History follows, and Dawn’s Big Three begins at the end of the hour with Trump in Turkey, Erdogan, NATO, Ukraine, Iran, and defense spending.
