Five Cups of Coffee

$32K For First Responders

We return with Nick’s injury report after a chiropractor says a displaced rib is irritating a nerve near his shoulder and neck. That makes him probable for the Ben to the Shore ride, and the audience quickly gives him another reason to pedal. Team Kayal and Company sits eighth in the fundraising standings and closes in on $30,000 as we call for a final wave of donations. We describe the early-morning start, the national anthem, the first responders lining up for the ride, and the Showboat after-party in Atlantic City. Dr. Craig calls to discuss caffeine, preparation, and the purpose behind supporting families of fallen or critically injured first responders. Donations keep arriving until the crew moves from hundreds of dollars short to crossing the $30,000 mark before the Cut Sheet. Our workplace discussion asks whether employers should search a candidate’s entire internet history and use automated tools to find old posts, private accounts, and deleted material. We debate context, maturity, merit, office grudges, and the danger of giving strangers a decade-old post with no explanation.

Five Cups of Coffee

We start with the American Heart Association’s caffeine guidance and the important distinction between five eight-ounce cups and five oversized tumblers. The crew debates black coffee, sugar-heavy drinks, heart risk, and whether the study accounts for diet and activity. We then preview a morning filled with political conflict, workplace stories, Iran, immigration enforcement, and a station announcement set for Wednesday. Dawn Stensland tracks severe storms across the region before reporting on a missing teenager killed by a freight train in Bustleton. We cover the charges against David Vincent Rosa, the guilty plea from doctor Habib Bhatti, and the case against former Bucks County deputy Ryan Gaffney, while stressing the need to vet workers invited into a home. Phil shifts to sports with the Phillies beating the Dodgers, two fans losing home-run balls, retro Field of Dreams uniforms, Jamie Drysdale’s Flyers contract, and LIV Golf’s payment dispute. Our Big Take frames the morning as a series of wars: an incendiary attack outside 26 Federal Plaza, a socialist surge inside the Democratic Party, and the continuing conflict with Iran. We play Marco Rubio’s warning about far-left political violence, Abdul El-Sayed’s call to abolish ICE, and reports casting AOC and Kamala Harris as possible 2028 rivals. We then press the White House on Iran’s staying power, conservative media skepticism, casualty reports, possible ground troops, Canada tariffs, rising household costs, and the deaths of Tyler James Fee and Isabella Gonzalez.

Full Show For Tuesday July 21 2026

We open with a coffee study that gives Greg Stocker permission to keep pouring, then turn to severe-weather alerts, a fatal train strike involving a missing teenager in Bustleton, and three disturbing criminal cases involving a West Chester house painter, a Pennsylvania doctor, and a former Bucks County sheriff’s deputy. Phil Almquist brings us the Phillies’ 10–7 win over the Dodgers, two home-run-ball disputes in the stands, the club’s Field of Dreams uniforms, Jamie Drysdale’s new Flyers deal, and a lawsuit against LIV Golf. Our Big Take connects the attack outside 26 Federal Plaza, the socialist-progressive split inside the Democratic Party, the growing 2028 talk around AOC and Kamala Harris, and mounting fatigue over the war with Iran. We move into the Ben to the Shore push with Nick Kayal’s rib diagnosis, a surge of donations for Families Behind the Badge, and a race to clear $30,000 before the Cut Sheet. We debate how employers use automated searches to inspect years of social-media posts, whether youthful mistakes should cost someone a job, and how petty office disputes can turn old photos into ammunition. The Cut Sheet then brings Ashley Webb’s Maine Senate campaign, a switched-at-birth lawsuit in North Dakota, Elizabeth Warren’s nearly identical endorsements, Harry Enten’s warning about the Democratic House ballot, and the SAVE America Act. Matt Rooney joins us for Zohran Mamdani’s threat to pursue Benjamin Netanyahu in New York City, the limits of mayoral power, and the way social-media feeds can trap young voters inside one political viewpoint. We assess Darline Graham Nordone’s bid for her late brother’s Senate seat before Fight Club brings an In-N-Out brawl, an alleged $300 dine-and-dash, a national-anthem slap at Wrigley Field, and a Yellowstone bison tossing a grandfather into the air. We close with James Talarico’s tense Texas town hall, Van Jones warning Democrats about the socialist left, July 21 music history, and Dawn’s Big Three: the Federal Plaza attack, a Southlake officer’s burning-car rescue, a catastrophic cruise excursion injury, a New Jersey meteorite carrying prebiotic compounds, Saquon Barkley’s home burglary, and Zack Wheeler’s $26 million penthouse sale.

Kensington Cam And New Rules In New Jersey For E Bike Riders

Phil closes with Today in Music History, covering Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington and several major record dates before Dawn’s Big Three begins. Dawn’s Big Three opens in Kensington, where police search for suspects accused of targeting unhoused victims and a live camera streams street activity around the clock. We watch Kensington Cam, question who operates it and react to the strange mix of viewers, ads and open-air disorder. The segment connects the feed with recent robberies, shootings and drug seizures in the neighborhood. Big Three item two moves to Canada geese. Abington hires federal wildlife staff to use green lasers, boats and noise devices, while a Madison community authorizes the killing of 550 geese after health and sanitation complaints. We discuss aggressive birds, waste, pet exposure, water hazards and the FDA’s admission that a Taylor Farms cyclospora result was a false positive. Big Three item three covers New Jersey’s e-bike law, including registration, licenses, helmets, insurance and age limits. The crew then turns the rules into another attempt by Nick to shorten the Ben to the Shore ride, followed by a serious talk about pace, rest stops, volunteers and the Atlantic City finish. With the team roughly $2,500 short of $30,000, a Families Behind the Badge video brings the show to an emotional close.

Hunter Biden Believes A Closeted Republican Power Circle Runs Washington.

Hunter Biden opens the hour by alleging that a closeted Republican power circle runs Washington. We question the point of his claim, the refusal to name names and the broader obsession with private lives. Harry Enten’s voter-ID figures then pull us back to policy, with strong support across racial and party groups feeding our demand for the SAVE America Act. Fight Club features a skateboarder, a Mercedes and a shattered windshield outside Mamoun’s Falafel. The crew tries to decide who starts the trouble, then moves to Tom Brady slapping Logan Paul and the possibility that the entire scene is staged for wrestling. Shane Gillis’ stadium show returns briefly as we debate large venues for stand-up. The final major Cut Sheet clip comes from the University of Central Florida, where police body-camera footage shows a student confronting officers over pronouns before the encounter turns physical. We focus on the officer’s original stolen-vehicle call, repeated efforts to calm the scene, pepper spray, a Taser and the resulting charges.
