Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's me Michael. Your morning show has heard live
from five to eight am Central, six to nine am Eastern,
three to six am Pacific on great radio stations like
News Radio eleven ninety k EX in Portland, News Talk
five point fifty k f YI, and Phoenix, Arizona Freedom
one oh four seven in Washington, d C. We'd love
to have you join us live in the morning, even
take us along on the drive to work, but better
(00:21):
late than never. Enjoy the podcast starting your morning off right.
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael gil John. Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I know that you're talking about Morgan Walling and how
it's his birthday, but there's somebody birthday to date.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
It's a little bit more important. It's Jimmy Suits's birthday.
Good morning from Mama Suits. Thank you Mama, So Jimmy,
Jimmy Suits from having yes birthday. Oh Jimmy, I am
so glad you were born. I'm so glad God brought
you into my life. I owe you a round of golf.
If I'd have known today would have been the day.
(01:10):
But as you know, I'll be in a fetal position,
mourning my son being in Europe. Happy birthday, Jimmy Suit,
So glad you were born eight minutes after the hour.
Good morning, and welcome to Wednesday, May the thirteenth. You
have a lord. Twenty twenty sixth, the President is landed
in China. He's meeting with Chi. I think he's got
carrots and sticks with him and some CEOs. We'll get
a preview here coming up. Also the World Health Organization
(01:32):
saying there are no signs of the start of a
larger hantavirus outbreak. Oh, I think the media, I think
the left would love to create a COVID out of this.
Now you have the CDC and the World or Health
Organization all saying it's not and it got a little fiery.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth had to stand before Congress,
(01:54):
as did FBI Director Cash Patel. Used to be that,
you know, if you were a friend of one side,
they would use their time to puff you up and
praise you and defend you. The other side would attack you.
And the person that's normally testifying just takes it. But
this cabinet doesn't. They love to give it back for
(02:17):
Pam BONDI didn't play very well I think for cash.
Pttella did play very well for Tech. Secretary of War
Pete Hegseth. We'll let Rory O'Neill be the judge. Fireworks
on the Hill yesterday, give us the latest. Good morning, Rory, Yeah,
good morning.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
To be honest with you, I was expecting more Real
housewives kind of behavior, but the Defense Secretary that was
a pretty reasoned hearing back and forth. It was interesting
because a lot of the Senators and House members at
the morning hearing were essentially asking, Hey, why did you
stop this military contract.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
In my district or what do I do to get
it restarted again?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
So it was a lot of selfish interest in there,
not too much of the political grand standing. I asked
a lot of questions about Iran, of course, but this
was supposed to be about appropriations and the nearly forty
percent increase in defense spending as requested by the Trump administration.
So actually it was a little bit more taim than
I was expecting. On the on the side of Secretary Heaseth, yeah,
(03:18):
I agree, and I think because then I'll just elaborate.
From my perspective, I thought, well, they're going to try
to make the case of quagmire the you know, we
don't need another endless war.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
It's already cost too much money. So I thought they'd
be pounding away at how much it's costing, how we
can't afford And it really wasn't it really if anything?
Like you said, every now and then they were like, hey,
what happened to our kishu in all the cash? Paatel?
He did give it back that that did. In fact,
one clip made our Sounds of the day, it was.
But he does it very well. I mean he did.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
When that hearing, I thought Cash Battel was very much
like the rest of the cabinet, whereas Hexseth played it
very straight.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Right and h you know, obviously it was Cenator van
Holland bringing up accusations in the Atlantic that director Patel
has flatly rejected. But that's that was the attempt to
try to stir the pot, to try and go viral.
Not sure Van Holland was the best man for that job.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Well, I don't do casting for the opposition, you know,
it's just interesting. We're gonna do this more in the
third hour, But the president has landed and the summit
with China. It's clearly a carrot and stick meeting. That's
why these big name CEOs, Apple and Elon Musk and
everybody are with him. I think the President's going to
(04:35):
kind of show him here's what China could be like
working with the sane part of the world, as opposed
to here's what it could look like for you if
you continue to back you know, Iran, because we all know,
but I don't. I think we had a long conversation
with Colonel Bouchi yesterday. Yeah, I mean, has Belah is,
(04:56):
you know, under the thumb of Iran, and Iran is
under the thumb of The difference is though China won't
necessarily listen like North Korea will. I don't know that
China can stop Ran, but the President is going to
sure make an effort to get them involved well, right.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
And certainly Beijing looks at things through a longer lens,
to be sure. So it'll be interesting to see how
these conversations go and if this really is more to
what the original intention of the summit was, about tariffs
and about joint operations in the future, and about AI
and things like that. But of course all of it's
been derailed by the events in Iran.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Well, if Iran, if it wasn't a more favorable moment
to discuss Iran, I think you need to delay it again,
wouldn't you have? I mean right, one has to think
that you know, China is hurting. They want this over
as much as the US. And I don't know why
the presence fixated on a piece deal just to open
the straight of her moves and just move on. If
they make a move from nuclear materials, vomb it again.
(05:52):
Maybe that's why they're going to call it sledgehammer. Well, no, no,
I'm always gonna be back in the third hour. We'll
kick around more about the objectives of the Trump administration
and these key met with China and the President I
believe is on the ground now and has landed. All right,
two other things that we're going to try to get to.
(06:13):
And again, if you're calling balls and strikes, if you're
not making political weaponry of this, it shouldn't matter which
state it's found. We have, just like we have a
spending problem, which really is a symptom of a bigger problem.
We don't ever ask the question and we don't ever answer,
(06:34):
what is the proper size and role of government. Nobody
has that conversation. Somebody sent me a clip of Mamdani
and you know it was only a matter of time
before you got the Muslim Islamic and doctrination from this mayror.
They didn't get an Islamist elected mayor of the largest
(06:58):
city in this country, the great Satan of infidels, where
they're not going to make a play, and he certainly
did in the speech. That speech is not new, I
think it's from late February of this year, and it's
not so much the way he has changed the life
of Mohammad and the Qoran and made it about a
religion of migration. I mean, you can get there on
(07:24):
your own with Wikipedia. Just ask it, Just ask Google.
Is Islam a religion of migration or a religion of
invasion and conquer and it will explain it to you accurately.
(07:48):
But even if you don't, get distracted by that, and
it should frighten you. The twenty fifth anniversary of nine eleven,
this kind of talk coming from mayor's office clearly knows
separation of church and state in that speech, but nobody
is complaining. It's the role of government that's being described
(08:09):
that our country doesn't have a door and a right
to decide who comes in it, that anybody that comes
here should not just be welcomed and loved, but should
be cared for as the prophet is instructed. That's just
(08:33):
an ignorance of what the proper size and role of
the federal government is versus what the role and the
responsibility of the self governed or the specific god and
morality that it entails to self governed. The ignorance of
that you have driven God, who is Jehovah Provider out
(08:56):
of the conversation. Well, I guess you're going to need
a new God, and you've made it government. So just
as that that leads to a spending problem, so you're
going to have a fraud problem because for everything you create,
(09:17):
I mean, nobody has ever even taken a long hard look.
Can you imagine the level of fraud during COVID And
maybe one of the greatest frauds ever perpetrated was people
were dying of cancer, heart attack, strokes, but because they
tested positive for COVID, they were considered a COVID casualty
(09:40):
to drive up those numbers and to trigger funding to
the hospitals nobody's even looked at the fraud of COVID,
and everybody wants to talk about the fraud in Minnesota. Well,
(10:01):
guess what, you might even have a bigger one in Ohio.
And the House GOP is launching a new task force
to probe the medicaid fraud in Ohio. And they should
be as interested in fraud in red states as they
are as fraud in blue states. And I hope what
America finally can connect the dots to is government's too
big doing things that never should have done, and there's
(10:23):
a lot of people taking advantage of it, legally and illegally.
We'll have more on that coming up. This is something
that should make you very angry. I wish it did
make you. I wish I had the confidence to know
this was going to make you angry enough to take
an action. Data brokers don't just sell your address and
(10:43):
your phone number. They sell your beliefs. They sell your
political views, they sell your religious affiliations, they sell all
your charitable giving, even your family structure, and it's all
packaged up and sold to political operatives, activist organizations, and
corporations who want to target you because of what you
(11:06):
believe in how you live well in America. Man's faith
and his family should be his own business, or at
least that's what I always thought. Usually took piza, courts
and judges probable cause to get this information. Now we
commerce online, they access it package with your social media footprint,
(11:28):
and they're out making you a product and selling you.
And that's where Cogne comes in to fight for us.
In Cogni I Ncogni, they send legal removal request to
hundreds and hundreds of data broker companies on your behalf,
and they keep sending them because a lot of these
companies try to put your information back out there. They
(11:49):
remove me from five hundred and thirty eight data broker
sites in the first forty eight hours. It's already priceless
and so affordable. But just for being a your morning
show listener and acting today, you'll get sixty percent off.
Go to Incogniti dot com, I nc og n I
and Cogni dot Com promo Codemichael. In Cogniti dot Com
promo code, Michael, your values are not data points. You
(12:12):
need to disappear and get this information removed. In Cogni
dot Com promo code Michael, this is your morning show
with Michael del Chuno. You know, we often say we're
all in this together, and I don't know what goes
through your mind, like, do you think, oh, in the
Republican versus Democrat or the conservative versus liberal fight, no life,
We're all in this life together. Thank God, I always
(12:36):
have you the listeners when I need.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
You good more Mikey Jeffrey read just wanted to call
in and just send you my prayers for you and
your son. We'll be fine. God watches over everybody, including
your son. Don't worry about it too much. Sweet, So
I want to shout out to give me suits happy birthday. Brother,
Have a great day and we talk to you soon.
Speaker 1 (12:59):

Speaker 5 (13:00):
Good morning, Jim, I'll see you a little down this morning.

not going to false low Aquba.
Speaker 1 (13:16):

guess I am grateful he's not going there. So much
comfort I find in all of your time for your
Top five Stories of the Day. A replacement for the
acting Ice director Todd Lyons has been selected. Mark Mayfield
has our story.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
According to multiple reports, Dame Ventrella will assume the role
after Lions leaves his post at the end of this month.
Lion says led the agency since March of last year,
and his last day will be May thirty first. His replacement,
Venturella is a longtime ICE official and a former private
prison executive.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I'm Mark Mayfield a Pallas agreeing to pay thirty million
dollars in settlement with the Department of Justice to resolve
concerns of bias in favor of minority owned businesses. Jim
Roup has more.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
The issue centered on the company's Economic Opportunity Fund, which
aimed to use five hundred and thirty million dollars to
uplift the black and minority owned small businesses, but the
Justice Department accuses the program of being discriminatory. Now, PayPal
will launch a new initiative waving processing fees on a
billion dollars worth of transactions, as well as designating a
director for the initiative and submit proposals for it. However,
(14:25):
the company is not expected to pay any money to
the government and was not found liable for violating the
Equal Credit Opportunity Act.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I'm Jim roop. South Carolina Republicans are rejecting a call
from President Trump. They're likely to be targeted next election cycle,
but they're rejecting the president's call to redraw the state's
congressional mac. Tammy Trihio has the very latest live.
Speaker 8 (14:46):
State senators broke ranks with the party on Tuesday and
voted against a plan to divide South Carolinas one Democratic
black majority House district. On True Social Monday night, Trump
called on the South Carolina sent it to be quote
bold and courageous, like the Republicans in Tennessee who moved
last week to eliminate that state's only Democratic Black majority district.
(15:06):
The redistrict incomes after a recent Supreme Court ruling limited
the use of race in drawing congressional maps. I'm Tammy Trihuel.

Speaker 4 (18:22):
My son and youngest son just went to Raleigh, North.

Something happens to my son. I got a passport and
a waituh, Meredith wrote me this at Michael dat iHeartMedia
(18:53):
dot Com. I just finished watching a great heartwarming movie.
I do love a heartwarming movie. I like a movie Jeffrey.
At the end, I just sit like this. You got
that good grin on your face. Yeah, it's called remarkable
bright creatures. Something tells me, Meredith knows the the more
(19:16):
I know people, the more I love animals. Sally Field
starts in, Oh the flying nod, wasn't she adorable? Loved her?
Your wife will love it too. Can't wait to hear
what you think about. Apparently her husband dies and she
takes a job at an aquarium and has an extraordinary
relationship with an octopus. Apparently, my wife just watched the movie.
(19:36):
It's great, is it? I often watch that. You know,
that was my nickname in high school. Octopus. You were
kind of all over the place. No, it was a
little handsy.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
This is used to call Joe Biden a mentally retarded person.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
They call me King. Now do you believe it? No, King,
I'm such a king. I can't get a bowl rim approved.
All right, Always revealing, often entertaining. Time for your Sounds
of the Day. The President was on the tarmac yesterday.
He's now in China getting ready to meet with she.
But on the tarmac he was asked the question, yay,
you know all these polls and the American people worried
(20:16):
about the economy. Is that going to play a role
in any of your decisions.
Speaker 9 (20:19):
We're in deltating with Iran as the president.
Speaker 10 (20:22):
What extent our Rican finances makes it motivating you to
make it feel not even a little bit.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
The only thing that matters when I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Iran they can't have a du blue weapon.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
I don't think about American financial situation.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I don't think about anybody.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
I think about one thing.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
We could not let Iran have a new glue weapon now.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
That would bring everything to an end, right because they
can't have a nuclear weapon right now. In fact, most
estimates are close to a decade. You've achieved that. There
is one other thing you should care about, and that
is opening up the straight of poor Moves. And if
that takes boots on the ground on that island and
ships in the actual strait, then do it. But secure
(21:07):
it and move on. This is what you would call
you know, in any campaign. We always say this about debates,
but in any campaign too, you just want to avoid
any really bad moments and you want to find one
or two great moments, like in that Mirrors race in
(21:27):
Los Angeles. Brad has done that. He found a great
moment in the last debate, he found a second great
moment in his opponent's attack ad which actually really sells
him effectively. This is a candidate for governor and for
Xavier Makara. This is what I would call a bad
(21:48):
moment and a bad interview. By the way, this is
a profile piece. This is not a gotcha piece.
Speaker 10 (21:54):
Right.
Speaker 11 (21:54):
Well, look, I think we're these questions are fair. It's
in order to learn about you as a candidate.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
So whe it's about the profile.
Speaker 11 (22:01):
I don't know how you define profile, but I'd like to.
Speaker 12 (22:03):
Begin the interview the way I described profile is you
talk about all the things that I've done, things I
want to do, and along with some tough questions, but
not only tough questions.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
In other words, your job is to help me get elected.
The media is supposed to be in the Democrat Party's
back pocket. Well, what are you doing with the Listen
to this exchange?
Speaker 11 (22:25):
During your time is anxious as secretary?
Speaker 1 (22:27):
A New York Times investigation found.
Speaker 11 (22:29):
The Health Department couldn't find some eighty five thousand children
it had released.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
That's not accurate. What you just read is not accurate.
Speaker 12 (22:36):
First, That's what I'll say, because it was never the
case that we could not find kids. You're essentially I
don't know if you've got those talking points from Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
It's from a New York Times article. It's from a
New York Times article entitled alone and exploited. Migrant children
work brutal chops across the US and you were the
Health and Human Service, I mean, article said York Times
said that individuals and the children and their sponsors did
not respond to cause they didn't say we couldn't find kids.
(23:08):
It said the agency could not reach more than eighty
five thousand children. Overall, the agency lost a media contact
with a third of the migrant children.
Speaker 11 (23:16):
The reporter goes on to say, king overnight in slaughterhouses,
replacing roofs operating machineries and factories, children as young as
fourteen years old.
Speaker 12 (23:25):
That part occurred after these children had left the care
of departmenty Healthy Human Services to.
Speaker 11 (23:31):
Let these children go into those individual sponsors in their responsibility.
Speaker 12 (23:36):
Some of these kids, probably because they needed to earn
some money, I started working in places that were very exploited.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I don't think you're going to see much change in
those polling numbers in California. You're going to see two
Republicans face off in the final election. All right. We
talk about this all the time, this particular administration and cabinet.
They don't play the game the same. Usually when you
(24:05):
have a cabinet member before a Congressional hearing, if it's
a Democrat administration, for example, the Republican's attack and the Democrats' support.
If it's a Republican administration, the Democrats attack and the
Republican support. What makes the Trump cabinet different as they
hold their own and they fight back. Now, that has
(24:26):
worked for many of them. It didn't work for Pam Bondi.
It never came off well. Cash Pattel always comes off well.
Or as Rory O'Neil tried to defend, perhaps Senator Chris
van Holland wasn't the right one to do the attack.
Either way, it is my favorite sound of the day.
(24:46):
Occasions when you're security detail at difficulty waking or locating you.
Is that right? No, if it's a total force, I
don't even know where you get this stuff. But it
doesn't make it credible because you say so. I'm not
saying it, Director Patel, It's been written in document. You
are literally saying it. No, I'm saying that these are reports,
Director Patel.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Unlike unlike reports, the only person that was slinging margaritas
in the Salvador on the taxpayer dollar with a convicted
gang banging rapist was you. You know, the only person
that ran up a director thousand dollar bar tab in Washington,
d C.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
Is the lobby you.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
In this room, allegation drinking on tax payer dime during
the day.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
Director Patel, come on, these are serious allegations that were
made against you.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Failed you drinking Margarita's with a gang running a seven.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Thousand dollar bar tab at the lobby bar, but has
been filed by your own off show during the day.
That's you an ultimate example of apocapa. I will not
be tarnished by baseless allegation.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Let me statements from the media.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
The fact that you mentioned that indicates you don't know
what you are talking about.
Speaker 9 (25:58):
Now you're directly the always you're the one drinking ruggeryas with.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I mean, let's face it, if you're going to be
combative right back, nobody does it better than cash Ptel.
Not to mention, do you really want to go there
with an FBI director that's got all the goods on.
Speaker 12 (26:17):
You go ahead, Red, Oh no, did you see how
Red van Holland's face was getting He was like perplexed
beyond belief.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah, I had. You know, I'm trying to think of
moments where I've ever had that. We're like that I
never had. I just can't imagine a moment going so
wrong for a senator. But this is a cabinet that
will give it right back. And you know, there's a
(26:47):
lot of exchanges that happen. All it takes because it's
a whole different cycle. Now, nobody watched that live and
so their only exposure to it will be funneled through
the matrix. So you know, the left won't The left
could hear that exact same clip, and they think it's
a bad moment for Patel. But most, you know, in
(27:10):
the center, the silent center, as Nick Nixon called it
in sixty eight. We'll listen to that exchange, maybe far
more outraged by the truthful statements that Patel made versus
the allegation smearing statement that Ben Holland made. It was
just a really, really bad exchange. Another's sunny Houston artists.
(27:33):
This is the view which like a tree if it
falls in the forest and no one's there. Does it
make a sound? Why do we care? I just want
you to hear how the left as an American compliments
a president for doing good. This is a complement the
hatred and disorder of the left towards this president. This
(27:56):
is what a compliment sounds like.
Speaker 13 (27:59):
The fact that this is something like this is available
where you do have help with IVF, that you do
have help with the drugs, the IVF drugs, I think
is a win. There's so much to criticize Donald Trump for,
especially his racism and his xenophobia and his misogyny. Yes,
but these particular things where you have an account, a
(28:21):
Trump account, where your children can't have two hundred thousand
dollars when they're eighteen years old, and the help with infertility,
which is also a crisis.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
In this country.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I think you call a thing a thing, and I
think these are good policies. Yeah, I mean, I can't
believe Hitler did it. I can't believe a tyrant dictator
would do such a thing. All Right. We talked about
this earlier and I kind of teased it. Listen, I
hope in the matrix the way it would go is
(28:49):
the right would talk all about Minnesota while the left
ignores the fraud in Minnesota. And now the left will
talk about the fraud in Ohio and the right will
try to sweep under the rug, which is exactly what
the governor of Ohio is trying to do. But for
the journalists that uncovered the mass of alleged fraud in Ohio,
(29:09):
here's his story.
Speaker 9 (29:10):
Well, it's interesting because we're doing a five part series
at the Daily Wire and after part one he said,
you guys didn't find anything, and he didn't even wait
to see what we had. But we're talking about one
billion dollars a year in what I call free Butler's
for Somalis. These are people who are paid to go
to your house and cook and clean for you, and
oftentimes they're actually what they're almost awesome Ali. And what
(29:32):
they've done is they're doing it for their own family members.
And one of the things you can actually build a
government for is called conversation and companionship. So you can
charge the governments an hourly rate for sitting around the
dinner table talking to your family. So maybe we've all
been missing out. We could have been submitting that bill
to Medicaid.
Speaker 10 (29:51):
Is that perfectly legal under the federal godlines that cover medicaid?
And it's confusing with medicaid because some of it the
rules are dictated at the state level.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
But is that permissible?
Speaker 10 (30:04):
And is that what the governor of Ohio seems to
be talking about that it's not technically fraud, although it's abusive.
Speaker 9 (30:14):
This is primarily waste with also a massive amount of fraud,
and because of the way the program is set up,
it's very difficult to actually prove the fraud. But certain states,
mostly left wing states like California and New York, have
gotten what they call waivers to do special programs that
aren't really even medical at all and to insert.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Them into Medicaid.
Speaker 9 (30:33):
And even though Ohio is run by Republicans, they've done
the same thing. And so when you look at the data,
does released a data set that was very monumental release,
just like the UFO documents transparency, but actually talking about
real money here, and the money trail led me directly
to Columbus, Ohio, which it turns out has the second
biggest concentration of Somali's after Minneapolis.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
And so the challenge is do you care as much
about Ohio as you do many so because you should.
This is your tax dollars. This leads to your inflation
that you pay for. By the way, by these standards,
I should be a millionaire for the care I've given
(31:16):
my mother in ten years. What a dummy, I am, right.
I have seen a lot of this firsthand. I'll tell
you another one that I wish I could find this
reporter and have him look into not children in some
cases grandchildren, and not the kind of Rockwellion image you
(31:37):
get of grandchildren taking people out of nursing homes that
were my mother's roommate. And I have witnessed day in
and day out, incapable of caring for themselves and an
endangerment to themselves. And I've seen these grandchildren take them
home in order to recover their Social Security And I'll
bet no one's taking care of that woman in the
(31:57):
home while they're getting her security money. I don't even
think that was what Social Security was intended to provide.
But in this particular case in Ohio, this is not
Medicaid care for those in need. This is family members
frauding the government and using the loose guidelines and care
(32:18):
to do it. So the president is extremely unpopular when
it comes to the economy. After all, that's what they're
taught in school, that's what the media sells them every day.
That's got to translate, along with historical proclivities to the
Democrats win in Congress, right, ladies and gentlemen, CNN and
Harry Hetton to prove nos. Okay, take a look here.
Speaker 14 (32:40):
Democrats in the National House vault margin a coin to
my estimate, what they need for control with redistricting in
terms of the national popular vote is somewhere of a
win between three and four points. What's CNN's current poll
with no clear leader, it's a three point advantage. If
this were in fact the actual result come election day
the Congress, the race of the House would be basically
(33:02):
a toss up. And that is why the redistricting efforts
that have been happening are so important. Because before the
redistricting happened, Democrats essentially just needed to win the National
House popular vote in order to win control of the
House of Representatives. But now with the redistricting their ladder
they had to climb ever higher, and a three point
win may very well not do it. This is well
(33:23):
within the realm of possibilities. It could be Democrats take
back the House. You know, if Democrats outperform the CNN
pulled by a few points, they take it back. But
they could underperform as well, and that would be big
time trouble.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
And I might add too, I appreciate harryet and calling
it redistricting and not just jerry mandering, though some of
it or a lot of it is jerry mandering and
that should appall you. But there has been a lot
of population movement. That's nothing compared to the uphill battle
the Democrats are going to have with the electoral College
starting in twenty twenty eight, but by twenty thirty two especially,
(33:57):
I get on at your South of the Day.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
People who measured an online activision with a minor and
puberty block a little bit.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Any of you in the media clearly missed the art
of the deal. It's going to work out, all right.
Everybody's talking about these weight loss injections because they get
results dramatically. They work to lower your blood sugar, they
reduce your appetite. That leads to weight loss in many cases,
muscle loss, own density loss. And you ultimately have that question. Well,
(34:30):
someday when I stopped. Then what but they do work? Now?
What if you're trying to lose weight, but you're not
interested in the painful weekly injections, especially when you hear
of all the intense side effects. That's why the doctors
at Brickhouse Nutrition created Lean and the results are equally remarkable.
The studied ingredients and Lean have been shown to lower
your blood sugar check, burn fat by converting it into
(34:52):
energy check and it feels great, curb your appetite and
your cravings so you're not as hungry and you eat less.
Salary deficit weight loss and when combined with a healthy
diet and exercise plan, no muscle loss, no bone density loss,
just results. The Lean is not for the casual diet
or trying to lose a pound or two right before
(35:15):
a wedding or something. Can be used effectively in prior
to studying for exams. However, I digress. The doctors at
Brickhouse Lean Nutrition created Lean for frustrated diets needing to
lose ten or more pounds, and I'd love to get

Michael del Churno. Thanks to Bree Tennis. We have found
out today as National Apple Pie Day, which got everybody
missing the old apple pies at McDonald's. My high school
(36:00):
buddy Keith Andrews wrote, had a Hubigs pie in Louisiana
a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if this
came after I moved. I don't remember those, but these
are Hubigs New Orleans style pies. They come in coc
it out, peach, pineapple, lemon, chocolate and apple. But he
claims they're the best, the Hubigs apple pie, I imagine
(36:21):
and get him probably online and have a mail to you.
So take that tip, will you. Fifty seven minutes after
the hour, President Trump is optimistic about the visit with China.
The plane is now taxiing, waiting the red carpet arrival
of the President. Even as we speak, the World Health
Organization says there's no signs of the start of a
larger hantavirus outbreak. It's all very contained. That's now the
(36:44):
World Health Organization and the CDC saying, don't listen to
the online movement, don't listen to the Democrat Party or
the legacy media that's trying to sell you this is
the next COVID. There are no signs of that whatsoever.
And the crew of NASA's ambitious Artemis two Moon mission
received to heroes well welcome on Capitol Hill yesterday. A
replacement for the acting ice director, Todd Lyons has been selected,
(37:06):
and the Sabers won three to two in Montreal last night.
Buffalo now leads that series three games or it's tied.
The series tied two games two and returning to Buffalo
for Game five tomorrow night. We're all in this together.
This is your Morning Show with Michael Nheld, journo
Hey, it's me Michael. Your morning show has heard live
from five to eight am Central, six to nine am Eastern,
three to six am Pacific on great radio stations like
News Radio eleven ninety k EX in Portland, News Talk
five point fifty k f YI, and Phoenix, Arizona Freedom
one oh four seven in Washington, d C. We'd love
to have you join us live in the morning, even
take us along on the drive to work, but better
(00:21):
late than never. Enjoy the podcast starting your morning off right.
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael gil John. Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I know that you're talking about Morgan Walling and how
it's his birthday, but there's somebody birthday to date.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
It's a little bit more important. It's Jimmy Suits's birthday.
Good morning from Mama Suits. Thank you Mama, So Jimmy,
Jimmy Suits from having yes birthday. Oh Jimmy, I am
so glad you were born. I'm so glad God brought
you into my life. I owe you a round of golf.
If I'd have known today would have been the day.
(01:10):
But as you know, I'll be in a fetal position,
mourning my son being in Europe. Happy birthday, Jimmy Suit,
So glad you were born eight minutes after the hour.
Good morning, and welcome to Wednesday, May the thirteenth. You
have a lord. Twenty twenty sixth, the President is landed
in China. He's meeting with Chi. I think he's got
carrots and sticks with him and some CEOs. We'll get
a preview here coming up. Also the World Health Organization
(01:32):
saying there are no signs of the start of a
larger hantavirus outbreak. Oh, I think the media, I think
the left would love to create a COVID out of this.
Now you have the CDC and the World or Health
Organization all saying it's not and it got a little fiery.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth had to stand before Congress,
(01:54):
as did FBI Director Cash Patel. Used to be that,
you know, if you were a friend of one side,
they would use their time to puff you up and
praise you and defend you. The other side would attack you.
And the person that's normally testifying just takes it. But
this cabinet doesn't. They love to give it back for
(02:17):
Pam BONDI didn't play very well I think for cash.
Pttella did play very well for Tech. Secretary of War
Pete Hegseth. We'll let Rory O'Neill be the judge. Fireworks
on the Hill yesterday, give us the latest. Good morning, Rory, Yeah,
good morning.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
To be honest with you, I was expecting more Real
housewives kind of behavior, but the Defense Secretary that was
a pretty reasoned hearing back and forth. It was interesting
because a lot of the Senators and House members at
the morning hearing were essentially asking, Hey, why did you
stop this military contract.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
In my district or what do I do to get
it restarted again?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
So it was a lot of selfish interest in there,
not too much of the political grand standing. I asked
a lot of questions about Iran, of course, but this
was supposed to be about appropriations and the nearly forty
percent increase in defense spending as requested by the Trump administration.
So actually it was a little bit more taim than
I was expecting. On the on the side of Secretary Heaseth, yeah,
(03:18):
I agree, and I think because then I'll just elaborate.
From my perspective, I thought, well, they're going to try
to make the case of quagmire the you know, we
don't need another endless war.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
It's already cost too much money. So I thought they'd
be pounding away at how much it's costing, how we
can't afford And it really wasn't it really if anything?
Like you said, every now and then they were like, hey,
what happened to our kishu in all the cash? Paatel?
He did give it back that that did. In fact,
one clip made our Sounds of the day, it was.
But he does it very well. I mean he did.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
When that hearing, I thought Cash Battel was very much
like the rest of the cabinet, whereas Hexseth played it
very straight.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Right and h you know, obviously it was Cenator van
Holland bringing up accusations in the Atlantic that director Patel
has flatly rejected. But that's that was the attempt to
try to stir the pot, to try and go viral.
Not sure Van Holland was the best man for that job.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Well, I don't do casting for the opposition, you know,
it's just interesting. We're gonna do this more in the
third hour, But the president has landed and the summit
with China. It's clearly a carrot and stick meeting. That's
why these big name CEOs, Apple and Elon Musk and
everybody are with him. I think the President's going to
(04:35):
kind of show him here's what China could be like
working with the sane part of the world, as opposed
to here's what it could look like for you if
you continue to back you know, Iran, because we all know,
but I don't. I think we had a long conversation
with Colonel Bouchi yesterday. Yeah, I mean, has Belah is,
(04:56):
you know, under the thumb of Iran, and Iran is
under the thumb of The difference is though China won't
necessarily listen like North Korea will. I don't know that
China can stop Ran, but the President is going to
sure make an effort to get them involved well, right.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
And certainly Beijing looks at things through a longer lens,
to be sure. So it'll be interesting to see how
these conversations go and if this really is more to
what the original intention of the summit was, about tariffs
and about joint operations in the future, and about AI
and things like that. But of course all of it's
been derailed by the events in Iran.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Well, if Iran, if it wasn't a more favorable moment
to discuss Iran, I think you need to delay it again,
wouldn't you have? I mean right, one has to think
that you know, China is hurting. They want this over
as much as the US. And I don't know why
the presence fixated on a piece deal just to open
the straight of her moves and just move on. If
they make a move from nuclear materials, vomb it again.
(05:52):
Maybe that's why they're going to call it sledgehammer. Well, no, no,
I'm always gonna be back in the third hour. We'll
kick around more about the objectives of the Trump administration
and these key met with China and the President I
believe is on the ground now and has landed. All right,
two other things that we're going to try to get to.
(06:13):
And again, if you're calling balls and strikes, if you're
not making political weaponry of this, it shouldn't matter which
state it's found. We have, just like we have a
spending problem, which really is a symptom of a bigger problem.
We don't ever ask the question and we don't ever answer,
(06:34):
what is the proper size and role of government. Nobody
has that conversation. Somebody sent me a clip of Mamdani
and you know it was only a matter of time
before you got the Muslim Islamic and doctrination from this mayror.
They didn't get an Islamist elected mayor of the largest
(06:58):
city in this country, the great Satan of infidels, where
they're not going to make a play, and he certainly
did in the speech. That speech is not new, I
think it's from late February of this year, and it's
not so much the way he has changed the life
of Mohammad and the Qoran and made it about a
religion of migration. I mean, you can get there on
(07:24):
your own with Wikipedia. Just ask it, Just ask Google.
Is Islam a religion of migration or a religion of
invasion and conquer and it will explain it to you accurately.
(07:48):
But even if you don't, get distracted by that, and
it should frighten you. The twenty fifth anniversary of nine eleven,
this kind of talk coming from mayor's office clearly knows
separation of church and state in that speech, but nobody
is complaining. It's the role of government that's being described
(08:09):
that our country doesn't have a door and a right
to decide who comes in it, that anybody that comes
here should not just be welcomed and loved, but should
be cared for as the prophet is instructed. That's just
(08:33):
an ignorance of what the proper size and role of
the federal government is versus what the role and the
responsibility of the self governed or the specific god and
morality that it entails to self governed. The ignorance of
that you have driven God, who is Jehovah Provider out
(08:56):
of the conversation. Well, I guess you're going to need
a new God, and you've made it government. So just
as that that leads to a spending problem, so you're
going to have a fraud problem because for everything you create,
(09:17):
I mean, nobody has ever even taken a long hard look.
Can you imagine the level of fraud during COVID And
maybe one of the greatest frauds ever perpetrated was people
were dying of cancer, heart attack, strokes, but because they
tested positive for COVID, they were considered a COVID casualty
(09:40):
to drive up those numbers and to trigger funding to
the hospitals nobody's even looked at the fraud of COVID,
and everybody wants to talk about the fraud in Minnesota. Well,
(10:01):
guess what, you might even have a bigger one in Ohio.
And the House GOP is launching a new task force
to probe the medicaid fraud in Ohio. And they should
be as interested in fraud in red states as they
are as fraud in blue states. And I hope what
America finally can connect the dots to is government's too
big doing things that never should have done, and there's
(10:23):
a lot of people taking advantage of it, legally and illegally.
We'll have more on that coming up. This is something
that should make you very angry. I wish it did
make you. I wish I had the confidence to know
this was going to make you angry enough to take
an action. Data brokers don't just sell your address and
(10:43):
your phone number. They sell your beliefs. They sell your

corporations who want to target you because of what you

believe in how you live well in America. Man's faith
and his family should be his own business, or at
least that's what I always thought. Usually took piza, courts
and judges probable cause to get this information. Now we
commerce online, they access it package with your social media footprint,

And that's where Cogne comes in to fight for us.
In Cogni I Ncogni, they send legal removal request to

and they keep sending them because a lot of these

with Michael del Chuno. You know, we often say we're
all in this together, and I don't know what goes
through your mind, like, do you think, oh, in the
Republican versus Democrat or the conservative versus liberal fight, no life,
We're all in this life together. Thank God, I always

Top five Stories of the Day. A replacement for the
acting Ice director Todd Lyons has been selected. Mark Mayfield
has our story.

aimed to use five hundred and thirty million dollars to
uplift the black and minority owned small businesses, but the
Justice Department accuses the program of being discriminatory. Now, PayPal
will launch a new initiative waving processing fees on a
billion dollars worth of transactions, as well as designating a
director for the initiative and submit proposals for it. However,

the government and was not found liable for violating the
Equal Credit Opportunity Act.

voted against a plan to divide South Carolinas one Democratic

I'm such a king. I can't get a bowl rim approved.
All right, Always revealing, often entertaining. Time for your Sounds
of the Day. The President was on the tarmac yesterday.
He's now in China getting ready to meet with she.
But on the tarmac he was asked the question, yay,
you know all these polls and the American people worried
(20:16):
about the economy. Is that going to play a role
in any of your decisions.
Speaker 9 (20:19):
We're in deltating with Iran as the president.
Speaker 10 (20:22):
What extent our Rican finances makes it motivating you to
make it feel not even a little bit.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
The only thing that matters when I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Iran they can't have a du blue weapon.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
I don't think about American financial situation.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I don't think about anybody.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
I think about one thing.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
We could not let Iran have a new glue weapon now.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
That would bring everything to an end, right because they
can't have a nuclear weapon right now. In fact, most
estimates are close to a decade. You've achieved that. There
is one other thing you should care about, and that
is opening up the straight of poor Moves. And if
that takes boots on the ground on that island and
ships in the actual strait, then do it. But secure
(21:07):
it and move on. This is what you would call
you know, in any campaign. We always say this about debates,
but in any campaign too, you just want to avoid
any really bad moments and you want to find one
or two great moments, like in that Mirrors race in
(21:27):
Los Angeles. Brad has done that. He found a great
moment in the last debate, he found a second great
moment in his opponent's attack ad which actually really sells
him effectively. This is a candidate for governor and for
Xavier Makara. This is what I would call a bad
(21:48):
moment and a bad interview. By the way, this is
a profile piece. This is not a gotcha piece.
Speaker 10 (21:54):
Right.
Speaker 11 (21:54):
Well, look, I think we're these questions are fair. It's
in order to learn about you as a candidate.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
So whe it's about the profile.
Speaker 11 (22:01):
I don't know how you define profile, but I'd like to.
Speaker 12 (22:03):
Begin the interview the way I described profile is you
talk about all the things that I've done, things I
want to do, and along with some tough questions, but
not only tough questions.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
In other words, your job is to help me get elected.
The media is supposed to be in the Democrat Party's
back pocket. Well, what are you doing with the Listen
to this exchange?
Speaker 11 (22:25):
During your time is anxious as secretary?
Speaker 1 (22:27):
A New York Times investigation found.
Speaker 11 (22:29):
The Health Department couldn't find some eighty five thousand children
it had released.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
That's not accurate. What you just read is not accurate.
Speaker 12 (22:36):
First, That's what I'll say, because it was never the
case that we could not find kids. You're essentially I
don't know if you've got those talking points from Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
It's from a New York Times article. It's from a
New York Times article entitled alone and exploited. Migrant children
work brutal chops across the US and you were the
Health and Human Service, I mean, article said York Times
said that individuals and the children and their sponsors did
not respond to cause they didn't say we couldn't find kids.
(23:08):
It said the agency could not reach more than eighty
five thousand children. Overall, the agency lost a media contact
with a third of the migrant children.
Speaker 11 (23:16):
The reporter goes on to say, king overnight in slaughterhouses,
replacing roofs operating machineries and factories, children as young as
fourteen years old.
Speaker 12 (23:25):
That part occurred after these children had left the care
of departmenty Healthy Human Services to.
Speaker 11 (23:31):
Let these children go into those individual sponsors in their responsibility.
Speaker 12 (23:36):
Some of these kids, probably because they needed to earn
some money, I started working in places that were very exploited.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I don't think you're going to see much change in
those polling numbers in California. You're going to see two
Republicans face off in the final election. All right. We
talk about this all the time, this particular administration and cabinet.
They don't play the game the same. Usually when you
(24:05):
have a cabinet member before a Congressional hearing, if it's
a Democrat administration, for example, the Republican's attack and the Democrats' support.
If it's a Republican administration, the Democrats attack and the
Republican support. What makes the Trump cabinet different as they
hold their own and they fight back. Now, that has
(24:26):
worked for many of them. It didn't work for Pam Bondi.
It never came off well. Cash Pattel always comes off well.
Or as Rory O'Neil tried to defend, perhaps Senator Chris
van Holland wasn't the right one to do the attack.
Either way, it is my favorite sound of the day.
(24:46):
Occasions when you're security detail at difficulty waking or locating you.
Is that right? No, if it's a total force, I
don't even know where you get this stuff. But it
doesn't make it credible because you say so. I'm not
saying it, Director Patel, It's been written in document. You
are literally saying it. No, I'm saying that these are reports,
Director Patel.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Unlike unlike reports, the only person that was slinging margaritas
in the Salvador on the taxpayer dollar with a convicted
gang banging rapist was you. You know, the only person
that ran up a director thousand dollar bar tab in Washington,
d C.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
Is the lobby you.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
In this room, allegation drinking on tax payer dime during
the day.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
Director Patel, come on, these are serious allegations that were
made against you.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Failed you drinking Margarita's with a gang running a seven.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Thousand dollar bar tab at the lobby bar, but has
been filed by your own off show during the day.
That's you an ultimate example of apocapa. I will not
be tarnished by baseless allegation.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Let me statements from the media.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
The fact that you mentioned that indicates you don't know
what you are talking about.
Speaker 9 (25:58):
Now you're directly the always you're the one drinking ruggeryas with.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I mean, let's face it, if you're going to be
combative right back, nobody does it better than cash Ptel.
Not to mention, do you really want to go there
with an FBI director that's got all the goods on.
Speaker 12 (26:17):
You go ahead, Red, Oh no, did you see how
Red van Holland's face was getting He was like perplexed
beyond belief.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah, I had. You know, I'm trying to think of
moments where I've ever had that. We're like that I
never had. I just can't imagine a moment going so
wrong for a senator. But this is a cabinet that
will give it right back. And you know, there's a
(26:47):
lot of exchanges that happen. All it takes because it's
a whole different cycle. Now, nobody watched that live and
so their only exposure to it will be funneled through
the matrix. So you know, the left won't The left
could hear that exact same clip, and they think it's
a bad moment for Patel. But most, you know, in
(27:10):
the center, the silent center, as Nick Nixon called it
in sixty eight. We'll listen to that exchange, maybe far
more outraged by the truthful statements that Patel made versus
the allegation smearing statement that Ben Holland made. It was
just a really, really bad exchange. Another's sunny Houston artists.
(27:33):
This is the view which like a tree if it
falls in the forest and no one's there. Does it
make a sound? Why do we care? I just want
you to hear how the left as an American compliments
a president for doing good. This is a complement the
hatred and disorder of the left towards this president. This
(27:56):
is what a compliment sounds like.
Speaker 13 (27:59):
The fact that this is something like this is available
where you do have help with IVF, that you do
have help with the drugs, the IVF drugs, I think
is a win. There's so much to criticize Donald Trump for,
especially his racism and his xenophobia and his misogyny. Yes,
but these particular things where you have an account, a
(28:21):
Trump account, where your children can't have two hundred thousand
dollars when they're eighteen years old, and the help with infertility,
which is also a crisis.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
In this country.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I think you call a thing a thing, and I
think these are good policies. Yeah, I mean, I can't
believe Hitler did it. I can't believe a tyrant dictator
would do such a thing. All Right. We talked about
this earlier and I kind of teased it. Listen, I
hope in the matrix the way it would go is
(28:49):
the right would talk all about Minnesota while the left
ignores the fraud in Minnesota. And now the left will
talk about the fraud in Ohio and the right will
try to sweep under the rug, which is exactly what
the governor of Ohio is trying to do. But for
the journalists that uncovered the mass of alleged fraud in Ohio,
(29:09):
here's his story.
Speaker 9 (29:10):
Well, it's interesting because we're doing a five part series
at the Daily Wire and after part one he said,
you guys didn't find anything, and he didn't even wait
to see what we had. But we're talking about one
billion dollars a year in what I call free Butler's
for Somalis. These are people who are paid to go
to your house and cook and clean for you, and
oftentimes they're actually what they're almost awesome Ali. And what
(29:32):
they've done is they're doing it for their own family members.
And one of the things you can actually build a
government for is called conversation and companionship. So you can
charge the governments an hourly rate for sitting around the
dinner table talking to your family. So maybe we've all
been missing out. We could have been submitting that bill
to Medicaid.
Speaker 10 (29:51):
Is that perfectly legal under the federal godlines that cover medicaid?
And it's confusing with medicaid because some of it the
rules are dictated at the state level.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
But is that permissible?
Speaker 10 (30:04):
And is that what the governor of Ohio seems to
be talking about that it's not technically fraud, although it's abusive.
Speaker 9 (30:14):
This is primarily waste with also a massive amount of fraud,
and because of the way the program is set up,
it's very difficult to actually prove the fraud. But certain states,
mostly left wing states like California and New York, have
gotten what they call waivers to do special programs that
aren't really even medical at all and to insert.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Them into Medicaid.
Speaker 9 (30:33):
And even though Ohio is run by Republicans, they've done
the same thing. And so when you look at the data,
does released a data set that was very monumental release,
just like the UFO documents transparency, but actually talking about
real money here, and the money trail led me directly
to Columbus, Ohio, which it turns out has the second
biggest concentration of Somali's after Minneapolis.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
And so the challenge is do you care as much
about Ohio as you do many so because you should.
This is your tax dollars. This leads to your inflation
that you pay for. By the way, by these standards,
I should be a millionaire for the care I've given
(31:16):
my mother in ten years. What a dummy, I am, right.
I have seen a lot of this firsthand. I'll tell
you another one that I wish I could find this
reporter and have him look into not children in some
cases grandchildren, and not the kind of Rockwellion image you
(31:37):
get of grandchildren taking people out of nursing homes that
were my mother's roommate. And I have witnessed day in
and day out, incapable of caring for themselves and an
endangerment to themselves. And I've seen these grandchildren take them
home in order to recover their Social Security And I'll
bet no one's taking care of that woman in the
(31:57):
home while they're getting her security money. I don't even
think that was what Social Security was intended to provide.
But in this particular case in Ohio, this is not
Medicaid care for those in need. This is family members
frauding the government and using the loose guidelines and care
(32:18):
to do it. So the president is extremely unpopular when
it comes to the economy. After all, that's what they're
taught in school, that's what the media sells them every day.
That's got to translate, along with historical proclivities to the
Democrats win in Congress, right, ladies and gentlemen, CNN and
Harry Hetton to prove nos. Okay, take a look here.
Speaker 14 (32:40):
Democrats in the National House vault margin a coin to
my estimate, what they need for control with redistricting in
terms of the national popular vote is somewhere of a
win between three and four points. What's CNN's current poll
with no clear leader, it's a three point advantage. If
this were in fact the actual result come election day
the Congress, the race of the House would be basically
(33:02):
a toss up. And that is why the redistricting efforts
that have been happening are so important. Because before the
redistricting happened, Democrats essentially just needed to win the National
House popular vote in order to win control of the
House of Representatives. But now with the redistricting their ladder
they had to climb ever higher, and a three point
win may very well not do it. This is well
(33:23):
within the realm of possibilities. It could be Democrats take
back the House. You know, if Democrats outperform the CNN
pulled by a few points, they take it back. But
they could underperform as well, and that would be big
time trouble.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
And I might add too, I appreciate harryet and calling
it redistricting and not just jerry mandering, though some of
it or a lot of it is jerry mandering and
that should appall you. But there has been a lot
of population movement. That's nothing compared to the uphill battle
the Democrats are going to have with the electoral College
starting in twenty twenty eight, but by twenty thirty two especially,
(33:57):
I get on at your South of the Day.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
People who measured an online activision with a minor and
puberty block a little bit.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Any of you in the media clearly missed the art
of the deal. It's going to work out, all right.
Everybody's talking about these weight loss injections because they get
results dramatically. They work to lower your blood sugar, they
reduce your appetite. That leads to weight loss in many cases,
muscle loss, own density loss. And you ultimately have that question. Well,
(34:30):
someday when I stopped. Then what but they do work? Now?
What if you're trying to lose weight, but you're not
interested in the painful weekly injections, especially when you hear
of all the intense side effects. That's why the doctors
at Brickhouse Nutrition created Lean and the results are equally remarkable.
The studied ingredients and Lean have been shown to lower
your blood sugar check, burn fat by converting it into
(34:52):
energy check and it feels great, curb your appetite and
your cravings so you're not as hungry and you eat less.
Salary deficit weight loss and when combined with a healthy
diet and exercise plan, no muscle loss, no bone density loss,
just results. The Lean is not for the casual diet
or trying to lose a pound or two right before
(35:15):
a wedding or something. Can be used effectively in prior
to studying for exams. However, I digress. The doctors at
Brickhouse Lean Nutrition created Lean for frustrated diets needing to
lose ten or more pounds, and I'd love to get

out today as National Apple Pie Day, which got everybody
missing the old apple pies at McDonald's. My high school
(36:00):
buddy Keith Andrews wrote, had a Hubigs pie in Louisiana
a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if this
came after I moved. I don't remember those, but these
are Hubigs New Orleans style pies. They come in coc
it out, peach, pineapple, lemon, chocolate and apple. But he
claims they're the best, the Hubigs apple pie, I imagine
(36:21):
and get him probably online and have a mail to you.
So take that tip, will you. Fifty seven minutes after
the hour, President Trump is optimistic about the visit with China.
The plane is now taxiing, waiting the red carpet arrival
of the President. Even as we speak, the World Health
Organization says there's no signs of the start of a
larger hantavirus outbreak. It's all very contained. That's now the
(36:44):
World Health Organization and the CDC saying, don't listen to
the online movement, don't listen to the Democrat Party or
the legacy media that's trying to sell you this is
the next COVID. There are no signs of that whatsoever.
And the crew of NASA's ambitious Artemis two Moon mission
received to heroes well welcome on Capitol Hill yesterday. A
replacement for the acting ice director, Todd Lyons has been selected,
(37:06):
and the Sabers won three to two in Montreal last night.
Buffalo now leads that series three games or it's tied.
The series tied two games two and returning to Buffalo
for Game five tomorrow night. We're all in this together.
