    South Philadelphia Residents Say A Sinkhole Has Sat Open For Weeks

    Phil closes the hour’s regular material with Today in Music History before Dawn’s Big Three begins. Jalen Hurts’ foundation gives Northeast High School $600,000 for cooling equipment, setting off a spirited fight over Philadelphia school spending, aging buildings, classroom conditions, laptops and school choice. Big Three story two then introduces Jackie DeAngelis’ lawsuit against Whole Foods over a 2023 dog attack at Columbus Circle, and Rooney explains why New York’s filing deadline and the extent of her hand injuries matter. Dawn’s Big Three carries directly into 10 AM as we finish the Jackie DeAngelis discussion. Dawn recounts being bitten by a German Shepherd as a child, Rooney talks through possible liability and damages, and we argue over pets inside grocery stores, the responsibility of dog owners and whether Whole Foods has enough exposure to settle rather than fight the case. Big Three story three takes us to Fort Worth, where a family is suing Arka Montessori Academy after a substitute teacher allegedly encourages preschool children to fight and is accused of physically handling a 4-year-old. Surveillance footage drives the conversation as we distinguish between telling a child to defend himself and an adult employee allegedly encouraging her own child to hit another student. State citations against the school add another layer to the case. We finish with two local and regional stories. South Philadelphia residents say a sinkhole on South Percy Street has remained open for weeks while sanitation vehicles drive over sidewalks to get around it, creating new property damage and liability concerns. Then Dawn turns to Delaware’s primary, where Chris Coons faces Democratic challengers including E. No-Trump Hansen, whose legal name and previous party affiliation generate our final round of jokes before Matt Rooney signs off.

    Eagles Fans Brawl Outside Stateside Live In South Philadelphia

    Fight Club starts the hour with Eagles fans going at each other outside Stateside Live. Security gets involved, jerseys fly and the crew blames the 4:25 kickoff for giving everybody far too many hours to drink before football. That spins into a broader argument over tailgating, the South Philadelphia stadium district, whether football is better from the couch and how expensive an Eagles game becomes for a family of four. Rooney stays with us as the conversation becomes much more political. Todd Blanche defends tighter mail-voting requirements before Rooney reacts to the Supreme Court’s 7-2 ruling, raises concerns about voter rolls, discusses redistricting and argues that Senate Republicans may regret preserving the filibuster instead of pushing the SAVE Act through. From there, Kamala Harris’ account of considering Pete Buttigieg as a running mate prompts us to ask whether the country is ready for an openly gay president and which groups would actually object.

    Cut Sheet Opens With Greg’s Self-Inflicted Huey Lewis Mistake

    Cut Sheet brings Nancy Mace’s Buc-ee’s stop and social-media persona, another look at the Philadelphia truck video, Brandon Herrera’s crude old remarks about gun-control mothers and Mitch McConnell’s return to the Senate after months away. We stay with Mitch McConnell long enough to argue about age, term limits, political power and the similarities with what Democrats previously did with Dianne Feinstein. Brandon Herrera’s remarks then get their full context as we debate the difference between defending somebody’s right to speak, endorsing the substance of what they say and deciding whether crude speech should disqualify a candidate for Congress. Hasan Piker then becomes the bridge into Michigan politics. Abdul El-Sayed pushes back when CBS repeatedly asks him about Piker, saying voters are talking to him about groceries, medical costs and everyday expenses instead. We debate whether Republicans and the press are helping El-Sayed by repeatedly putting Piker at the center of the race and whether that strategy misses stronger arguments against the Democratic nominee as his contest with Mike Rogers approaches. The hour takes a much darker turn with Xu Bo, the Chinese gaming billionaire reported to have fathered scores of children through U.S. surrogacy. We discuss a surrogate who says she did not know the full identity and family history of the intended father, the reported use of more than 20 surrogates at once, the $120,000 payment and the legal and citizenship questions surrounding the arrangement. Then Oprah’s Lindsay Clancy discussion brings an extended argument over postpartum psychosis, criminal responsibility, access to help, the killing of Clancy’s three children and the danger of turning her case into a broader cause. Matt Rooney finally arrives near the end of the hour and immediately gets roasted for his timing.

    Newsom’s Fly-Fishing Clip Turns Into Nick And Greg’s Fishing Debate

    We start the hour with Gavin Newsom’s presidential future. His political fundraising operation has plenty of cash behind it, but the big line comes while he fishes with Jake Tapper and says he would not run if Kamala Harris runs. We question how spontaneous that exchange really is before the fishing setting sends Nick and Greg down a much less serious path involving tiny catches, saltwater versus freshwater, invitations Greg instantly rejects and an equally unsuccessful attempt to arrange a hunting trip. The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool story brings us back to an old argument after a contractor attributes problems to repair mistakes rather than vandalism. Dawn and Greg clash over what earlier police reports showed, what public officials said before the investigation was finished and how later findings should change the discussion. Then Greg gets his own fact-check when the YouTube chat correctly points out that “The Power of Love” is not on Huey Lewis and the News’ Sports, producing one of the morning’s best self-inflicted mistakes. Sydney Sweeney takes over next as female athletes criticize her Novig sports-prediction ad. We argue about who the ad is actually trying to reach, compare the outrage with past athlete photo shoots and discuss Sweeney’s reported stake in the company.

    Office Silence, Gen X Social Habits And Story Time With Stocker

    We start with the collapse of everyday socializing, including research showing fewer Americans spending time communicating face-to-face and more time on screens. That sends us into Gen Z, pandemic-era habits, disappearing hangout spots, workplace silence and Greg’s defense of Gen X. The conversation naturally becomes a crew argument over whether people simply forgot how to interact with one another. Dawn’s first news run is packed. We cover the Supreme Court refusing to let the Trump administration change mail-ballot rules before the midterms, the Philadelphia officer facing dismissal after Eugene Beauford is left in a bike lane and later struck, the criminal case involving Lehigh Valley Phantoms employee Matthew Francis, Treva Harris’ pandemic-relief fraud sentence and the young Philadelphia girl who miraculously survives after being knocked underneath a truck. Landon Dickerson’s injured-reserve move and Macklemore’s removal from Ed Sheeran dates also give us plenty to argue about. Nick’s Big Take centers on ICE and what he sees as the political battle over immigration enforcement heading into November. We move through California legislation affecting federal immigration officers, the killing of Shalini Thakur, San Diego ICE chaser Arturo Gonzalez, the public-charge lawsuit involving Zohran Mamdani and Letitia James, police cooperation with ICE in Pennsylvania and Atlantic City protest arrests. We close the hour debating whether Republicans are effectively telling the public why ICE operations are happening and whether national and local media are giving violent immigration cases comparable attention.

    Full Show For Tuesday September 15 2026

    We open Tuesday with a striking look at how little Americans socialize, why Gen Z is spending less time face-to-face, and how phones, remote work and the pandemic change everyday interaction. Dawn Stensland then brings us the Supreme Court decision rejecting President Trump’s attempt to change mail-ballot rules before the midterms, the Philadelphia officer facing dismissal after Eugene Beauford is left in a bike lane before a fatal collision, charges against Lehigh Valley Phantoms employee Matthew Francis, Treva Harris’ pandemic-relief fraud sentence and the incredible video of a Philadelphia schoolgirl surviving after a truck runs over her. We also get into Landon Dickerson’s injury, Macklemore being removed from Ed Sheeran tour dates and the latest college football rankings before Nick Kayal’s Big Take turns directly to ICE, immigration enforcement and the Republican message heading toward November. We move into Gavin Newsom’s presidential ambitions after he tells Jake Tapper that he would stay out of the race if Kamala Harris runs, and somehow the fishing setting sends Nick and Greg into their own fishing and hunting arguments. We revisit the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool controversy, watch Greg take his lumps after incorrectly putting “The Power of Love” on Huey Lewis and the News’ Sports, and dive into the backlash surrounding Sydney Sweeney’s Novig ad. The Cut Sheet brings Nancy Mace at Buc-ee’s, the terrifying Philadelphia truck video, Brandon Herrera’s old remarks about gun-control mothers, Mitch McConnell’s return to the Senate and Abdul El-Sayed pushing back on repeated Hasan Piker questions. Then a CBS investigation into Chinese billionaire Xu Bo’s reported use of U.S. surrogates leads us into citizenship, contracts and ethics before Oprah’s Lindsay Clancy discussion creates one of the morning’s most intense exchanges. Matt Rooney joins us for the final stretch, where childbirth jokes quickly give way to Fight Club and an Eagles-fan brawl outside Stateside Live. We get Rooney’s view of the Supreme Court mail-ballot ruling, the SAVE Act and the filibuster before Pete Buttigieg and Kamala Harris spark a long debate over whether America is ready to elect an openly gay president. Phil Almquist handles Today in Music History before Dawn’s Big Three takes over: Jalen Hurts gives Northeast High School $600,000 for a new cooling system, Fox Business anchor Jackie DeAngelis sues Whole Foods over a 2023 dog attack, and a Fort Worth Montessori school faces a lawsuit over an alleged preschool fight involving a substitute teacher. We finish with the South Philadelphia sinkhole frustrating residents and Delaware’s primary ballot, including Senate challenger E. No-Trump Hansen.

    Crew Trades Stories About Bathroom Close Calls During Sports And Travel

    We finish with Today in Music History, including Megadeth, Meat Loaf, Dokken and a Beatles lyric auction. The measles story returns as we separate support for routine vaccination from the broader political fight around RFK Jr., Trump and vaccine skepticism. Then Joanna Wietrzyk’s HYROX Beijing victory after suffering bowel incontinence sends the room completely off the rails, from hygiene rules and organizer responsibility to stories about close calls during sports and travel.

    How 9/11 Is Taught Becomes The Next Major Question

    Harry starts by backing the morning’s 9/11 Big Take, and the conversation quickly returns to what Americans are taught about the attacks. An Abby Phillip clip sets off a dispute over Islam, terrorism and George W. Bush’s post-9/11 messaging before we turn to state standards. Minnesota’s move toward broader themes rather than naming specific events becomes the example for a larger question about whether 9/11 is getting enough classroom attention. We then spend the bulk of the hour on artificial intelligence and regulation. Dario Amodei argues for stronger oversight and a slower pace, while we question why the biggest firms want government rules after growing under a much freer system. Dawn argues that established companies could use those barriers to protect themselves from new competitors, while former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon’s resignation and warnings get a different reception because he actually walks away from the company. David Sacks’ 0-for-4 critique of doom predictions and Alex Karp’s argument that China makes a pause unrealistic push us into a closing defense of American competition.
