Amy Coney Barrett’s Mail-Ballot Mess Meets A Vault-Toilet Rescue

episode Amy Coney Barrett’s Mail-Ballot Mess Meets A Vault-Toilet Rescue cover

Description

We spend the first portion of the 7 AM hour taking Watson v. RNC apart from every angle. The crew explains why the ruling does not force every state to count late-arriving ballots, then urges listeners who want different rules to pressure their own legislatures instead of waiting for a federal fix. That turns into a larger argument about turnout, a potential socialist tilt inside the Democratic Party, the household-cost squeeze, Trump’s housing push, and whether voters feel the economic numbers they hear about. We also talk executive authority after the FTC ruling, voting IDs, a federal Election Day holiday, and sports-fan mockery sparked by Kathy Hochul’s Bills chant.

Fight Club, Harvard’s A-Grade Problem, And A Quarter In The Urinal

More toilet-story aftermath, a Trainspotting reference, and a Los Angeles arrest after a BB gun fires during a naked bike ride. We move through Cory Booker jokes, the Alabama case involving Jessica Folds and Daniel Robbins, then Harvard’s response to runaway top grades. The crew argues that college transcripts lose value when top marks become common, before launching into Fight Club and scoring a video brawl featuring a pool skimmer and a rough stairwell moment. The closing stretch pits broadcast standards against unfiltered podcasts, then caller Lori joins the grade-inflation debate. We finish with Dianna Russini’s Ridgewood bodycam stop, her NFL name-dropping and expired license, the listener vote on Sean’s proposed retraction, and a final sign-off before Dan Bongino’s next appearance.

From A 3,000-Foot Drone Scare To The Mets’ Little League Homer

Cut Sheet starts with the day’s most ridiculous rescue: a California camper falls into a vault toilet after dropping sunglasses. From there, we take on CNN’s Declaration discussion, French heat deaths, Rand Paul’s COVID-origin hearing, a Rush tour call-in, and Kenny Chesney’s stance that a concert crowd deserves an evening away from political speeches. We keep Cut Sheet moving with Supergirl star Milly Alcock’s comments about the character, Bill Maher’s alarm over socialist wins in New York, and reports that a JetBlue flight may have struck a drone near JFK. Matt Rooney then joins, bringing the crew into a sharp dispute over Madeleine Dean’s account of a phone call with Steve Witkoff during an Iran briefing. Rooney and the crew argue over manners, foreign-policy priorities, and how much outrage is real versus manufactured. We also revisit the vault-toilet sunglasses question, keep the 600-like challenge going, and put Sean Farash’s on-air retraction argument to a listener test. Sports and local oddities close the hour: the Mets hand George Springer a Little League homer after a defensive mess, then a Paramus middle school pulls yearbooks after a baby Hitler photo appears. The crew saves a string of stranger items for the final hour, including a naked bike ride arrest, an Alabama homicide case, grade inflation, and Fight Club.

Election Day Is One Day—So Why Are We Still Counting?

We begin with Shawn Farash and Greg Stocker holding down the studio while Nick Kayal travels, and the crew starts with the summer heat, a Strawberry Moon, and anger at the latest mail-ballot ruling. Watson v. RNC becomes the morning’s central legal fight as the crew argues that Election Day ought to mean one actual day, while the Court leaves receipt deadlines to state law. The opening news run also brings the Court’s rulings involving FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter and Fed Governor Lisa Cook, plus a look ahead at birthright citizenship. We cover Luigi Mangione’s newly scheduled federal trial, then turn to the Olney raid that leaves investigators with a strange written item, firearms, chemicals, and hard questions. Before the first big Court reaction, we hit a packed local slate: a Gloucester Township party, a house explosion in Bucks County, Comcast’s company split, and Collingswood’s liquor-sales debate. Phil Almquist delivers a painful Phillies loss, Eagles ticket details, Chris Johnson’s ALS news, and a warning that the holiday stretch could bring heat indices well above 100.

Full Show For June 30 2026

We open with the Supreme Court’s Watson v. RNC ruling, where a 5–4 majority says states may count certain mail ballots received after Election Day. Shawn Farash and Greg Stocker vent about the ruling, size up Amy Coney Barrett’s majority opinion, weigh the Court’s limits on President Trump’s removal power, and anticipate the birthright-citizenship decision. We also get into federalism, the Electoral College, early voting, and what election-law fights look like in state capitals rather than Washington. We keep the local file moving with the disturbing Olney investigation surrounding Eugene Horsch, a written item tied to Ted Bundy, weapons, chemicals, fake IDs, and a 55-gallon drum. We also hit the Hilltown Township house explosion, Gloucester Township’s enormous party, Collingswood’s possible end to its dry-town rule, Comcast’s planned split, and a brutal Phillies loss after a 5–0 lead. Add Chris Johnson’s ALS revelation, a feverish Fourth of July forecast, and a close look at the Strawberry Moon for a packed first hour. Then Cut Sheet takes over: a California camper falls into a vault toilet chasing sunglasses, CNN takes on a line in the Declaration of Independence, and Rand Paul’s Fauci whistleblower hearing lands on the table. We debate Kenny Chesney’s decision to keep politics out of concerts, Supergirl’s latest press tour, Bill Maher’s warning to Democrats, and a possible JetBlue drone strike near JFK. Matt Rooney joins for the Madeleine Dean–Steve Witkoff clash, the Mets’ epic fielding error, Paramus’ recalled yearbooks, Harvard grade inflation, Fight Club, and Dianna Russini’s bodycam embarrassment.
