    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.

    Harry Mayes Joins And Gives His First Eagles Reaction

    Harry Mayes joins us, assesses the Eagles and flags the offensive line and Cooper DeJean. The Cut Sheet then runs through Steve Sarkisian walking away from an ESPN interview, the purpose of sideline reporters, Ted Cruz getting booed at College GameDay, a Palestinian-flag runner at Yankees-Mets and Trump removing the tariff on Irish whiskey. We reopen Trump’s proposed $5,000 dividend and question whether the numbers behind the pledge work. The crew compares the projected cost with tariff revenue cited on the show and asks how much of the pitch depends on Republicans retaining Congress. That sends us into campaign messaging and whether big promises work even when Congress still has to act. Pennsylvania politics takes over as we discuss Stacy Garrity, Josh Shapiro, campaign ads, Garrity’s flock-camera stumble, her military record, Republican prospects and the money needed to compete statewide. Data centers and the gas tax join that argument before Tom Homan’s comments about an investigation involving Ilhan Omar lead us back to immigration enforcement. We then hear Hakeem Jeffries leave impeachment neither ruled in nor ruled out, and we argue Democrats would be better served spending a possible House majority on their own agenda rather than another Trump impeachment fight. The hour’s longest discussion starts with Karyann Parkinson, the Virginia mother convicted after her five-year-old son walks through their gated neighborhood to collect goose feathers near a pond. We debate whether five is too young, how much independence children should get, whether swimming ability changes the risk and whether modern parenting has become too fearful. The seven-year child-abuse registry penalty, Parkinson’s decision to reject a plea, the role of HOA security, childhood tracking and our own rules for kids staying home alone all keep the argument going.

    Gayle King Learns The Lone Clancy Holdout Juror Is A Black Man

    We begin with Lindsay Clancy and the lone juror who prevents a unanimous finding that she is not criminally responsible. Gayle King’s reaction to learning that the holdout is a Black man becomes the spark for a much wider conversation about race, identity politics and assumptions about how jurors are supposed to think. The band-and-water-bottle reenactment inside deliberations and the remarks from juror Nick Dargie give us a closer look at the split. We spend the middle of the hour arguing for juror independence while still examining the flaws in the process. The crew discusses Massachusetts’ insanity standard, the prosecution’s performance, the media attention on the holdout, the “non-practicing white” clip and Kevin Reddington being described as a feminist icon. Dawn returns to the sequence of events before the killings and explains why the planning and timing remain central to her view of the case. After the break, we move to New Jersey, where an ICE target fleeing a stop crashes into Dr. Penelope Cohen, wife of East Brunswick Mayor Brad Cohen, prompting a fight over sanctuary policy and driver licensing.

    Crew Thanks Listeners After Friday’s 9/11 Remembrance Broadcast

    We start with the virtual-girlfriend service and question what happens when people replace real interaction with customized artificial companions. A frantic NFL RedZone search gives us an early detour before we thank everyone who came out for Friday’s 9/11 broadcast. Dawn’s news brings a West Philadelphia crash involving a police officer, shootings in Wilmington, a Pennsylvania measles death and a debate over vaccination, underlying health problems and how the story is being covered. From there, record diesel prices push us into fuel, freight and the Iran war, while Trump’s proposed $5,000 dividend gets a skeptical reception. We react to the vandalized Charlie Kirk statue, then shift to sports: the Eagles survive Washington 24-22, Dallas Goedert and Zack Baun get their due, Jalen Hurts works with another offensive coordinator, and the Phillies beat Atlanta 9-4 after a seven-run eighth. Nick also admits he sleeps through Texas’ 24-23 comeback. The Big Take begins at 6:33 as we work through newly released 9/11 records and warnings tied to the Clinton and Bush administrations. Nick argues the 1998 hijacking warning, the USS Cole attack and the August 2001 briefing deserve renewed attention, while we replay Bill Clinton’s 2006 clash with Chris Wallace and Condoleezza Rice’s remarks about the failure to prevent the attacks. We close the hour by discussing possible additional releases, Saudi questions from victims’ families, AOC and Zohran Mamdani at the memorial, Iraq-era pressure and how today’s border and counterterrorism fights connect to Hillary Clinton’s warning.

    Full Show For Monday September 14 2026

    We open Monday with a bizarre virtual-girlfriend service and what artificial companions could do to real human contact, then move through a packed news run: a West Philadelphia police crash, deadly Wilmington shootings, a Pennsylvania measles death, record diesel prices, Trump’s proposed $5,000 dividend and vandalism of a Charlie Kirk memorial statue. We mix in a tense Eagles win over Washington, the Phillies’ seven-run eighth against Atlanta and Nick missing Texas’ comeback because he falls asleep. From there, our Big Take centers on newly released 9/11 records and Nick’s argument that warning signs under both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush deserved far more scrutiny before the attacks. We spend much of the 7 AM hour on the Lindsay Clancy mistrial after Gayle King learns the lone holdout juror is a Black man. We examine the other jurors’ comments, the band-and-water-bottle reenactment, the media reaction, Massachusetts insanity rules and whether identity politics is swallowing the basic question of criminal accountability. Then Harry Mayes joins us for Eagles talk and the Cut Sheet, with the New Jersey sanctuary-policy crash, Steve Sarkisian’s ESPN walk-off, Ted Cruz getting booed in Austin, a Palestinian-flag runner during Yankees-Mets and Trump’s Irish-whiskey tariff move all entering the conversation. We turn in the 8 AM hour to Trump’s $5,000 proposal, the Pennsylvania governor’s race, Stacy Garrity, Josh Shapiro, Tom Homan’s Ilhan Omar comments and Hakeem Jeffries leaving impeachment on the table. A Virginia mother’s conviction after her five-year-old walks alone through a gated neighborhood opens a long argument about old-school parenting, child independence, HOA power and the seven-year child-abuse registry penalty. In the 9 AM hour, we return to 9/11 education, Minnesota social-studies standards and Abby Phillip’s terrorism discussion before a long fight over artificial-intelligence rules, Dario Amodei, Jacob Coxon, David Sacks, Alex Karp, China and whether big firms want government barriers after securing their own position. We finish with music dates, measles vaccination politics and Joanna Wietrzyk’s messy HYROX victory in Beijing.

    We Saw The Best Of America": Ryan Mannion On Honoring Our Heroes And Uniting The Nation

    We reflect on the 25th anniversary of September 11th and examine what it means to carry forward the legacy of our fallen heroes. We discuss the profound impact of that historic morning, tracing how a single day altered the course of millions of lives and shaped a generation of service members and first responders. Throughout the broadcast, we emphasize that honoring history requires action rather than passive remembrance, urging listeners to teach younger generations about the true cost of freedom. We welcome Gold Star Sister Ryan Mannion, President of the Travis Mannion Foundation, to share personal memories of her brother, Marine Lt. Travis Mannion, and her father’s military service. Ryan details the sacred bond between military personnel and New York City firefighters, recalling her brother's visit to FDNY Rescue 1 in Manhattan shortly before his final deployment to Iraq. We discuss how TMF continues to empower veterans, military families, and communities across the nation through character-driven service projects and the annual 9/11 Heroes Run. We also examine the state of American unity 25 years later, questioning why it often takes major national tragedies for citizens to set aside political differences and support one another. We reflect on a troubling reality: roughly one-third of the current U.S. population has no direct memory of September 11th, leaving a massive civic gap that must be addressed through education. We emphasize that character, duty, and community service transcend partisan politics, offering a path forward rooted in selflessness and local action.

    From Fifth-Grade Teacher To Volunteer Firefighter: Steve Downs Shares His September 11 Story

    We broadcast live from the firehouse to reflect on September 11 through the personal accounts of local community members and first responders who lived through the tragedy. Our guest, retired educator and 17-year volunteer firefighter Steve Downs, recounts his experience during his very first week of teaching fifth grade at Newtown Elementary School in Newtown, Pennsylvania. He details the quiet tension inside the school building as news broke of the attack on the World Trade Center, the steps taken to keep ten-year-old students calm, and how school protocols evolved in the aftermath to keep children protected. We examine how local communities across Bucks County pulled together amidst immense personal loss and grief. Steve explains how many parents in the area commuted to New York City for work, creating an agonizing atmosphere as administrators handled parent arrivals and secured the facility without causing widespread panic. We discuss how school communications operated in an era preceding instant smartphone alerts, relying heavily on main office coordination to maintain safety throughout the afternoon. We explore what drives individuals to step up and serve their local fire departments in response to national crisis. Inspired by the ultimate sacrifice of 343 fallen firefighters on September 11 and encouraged by his son, Steve joined the volunteer fire service in 2009. We talk about the deep bond shared among firefighters from all backgrounds, the rising generation of young leaders inside local stations, and why remembering the selflessness displayed on September 11 remains vital today.
