The second half turns to Graham Platner’s exit from Maine’s Senate race after a rape allegation he denies. We separate accusation from conviction, debate due process, and question a replacement system that could leave party officials choosing a nominee after voters cast ballots. Harry Enten’s numbers then show Democratic incumbents facing a rare primary revolt. Pete Ciarrocchi closes the hour with one-dollar Crabfries, the 13th annual fundraiser, scholarships for police families, and support for Families Behind the Badge. We continue the primary discussion with six House Democrats facing defeat, a figure that could reach a 50-year high. The crew compares the energy behind MAGA voters with the Democratic Party’s socialist wing, asks who could pull Democrats toward the center, and considers John Fetterman’s place in that fight. A debate over Nordic economies, taxes, and government services leads directly into Philadelphia’s plastic-bag ban and a survey finding widespread noncompliance. The cut sheet returns to the Fort Wayne arson case before Dawn reports on two children and dozens of animals removed from a Northeast Philadelphia house in deplorable condition. We then hear the much warmer story of Sgt. Travis Henderson, who finds a nonverbal child with autism at a Target and uses toy dinosaurs to gain his trust. Sean connects that response to training, hiring, leadership, and the kind of policing that builds public confidence. A 7-foot-3 officer in Kemah, Texas, gives the crew another lighter moment before the show turns to federal election monitors assigned to jurisdictions in six states. We debate voter rolls, legal eligibility, and public confidence, then play a field-sobriety stop that becomes a comedy bit. A Waymo vehicle reports teenagers carrying toy guns and alcohol, and we stress the danger of realistic weapons during a police stop. The hour ends with Karoline Leavitt’s clash with Kaitlan Collins and Dawn’s account of the pressure conservative women face in television news.
