Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard on
great radio stations across the country like News Talk ninety
two point one and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee,
or thirteen hundred The Patriot and Tulsa our top six
fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. We invite you to listen
live while you're getting ready in the morning, and to
take us along for the drive to work. But as
we always say, better late than ever. Thanks for joining

(00:21):
us for the podcast three.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Because we're in Mistiget.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell John He
already called I'm not taking another He's gonna wake his wife.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
All right.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Here's Woody in Arizona.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Michael if Rad is in the corner for Doggin Rod Stewart.
He is.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
I think you need to join him for that strain
impression of sharing. Please come on. I fella Onion Share Show,
wearing those Bob Mackie dresses coming out for that opening
monologue the Lovely Ship. And then my brother brought home
half breed and that was the picture of her on
the horse it was like the scene in Animal House.

(01:14):
I was like, God must have sought me enjoying that
so much. He brought me a Native American wife and
made me happy forever. Don't even get me started. I
have freed. Share is eighty years old. Today we celebrate
with Medley's of my hits of hers eight minutes after
they're after just waking up. President Trump says he's hoping

(01:36):
to end the conflict in Iran very quickly, and he
better because the Senate voted to limit his war power.
The FBI says the two teen suspects behind the deadly
shooting in the Islamic center of San Diego were radicalized online.
No kidding. Mom had a lot of guns. Three of
them were missing. These two met each other online. It's

(01:57):
not a case of Islamophobia. They hated Jews, they hated Muslims,
they hated Gays, they hated everybody. Mostly they hated themselves
and the Calves drop game one one fifteen one oh
four to the Knicks, as I told David Sinati, they would.
The Knicks are you know, they're just kind of like sleepy,
You don't They just don't look like much, but they
just keep swarming and they find ways to win. It's

(02:18):
going to be tough series for the Calves and all
they got to do is win one on the road
to get the home court advantage. But that's going to
be tough to do at Madison Square Garden. All Right,
we had elections. You know what the big story is. First,
Bill Cassidy. Now Thomas Massey has fallen in the fourth
District of Kentucky. The power of crossing the president and
surviving continues to be a death sentence, and it begs

(02:43):
the question of who might be next. Clearly, the President
is certainly the most powerful voice in the Republican Party.
That translates in primaries greatly, So who will be next?
It may translate in the generals in the midterms, it
may translate. And who the next Republican nominee for President
of the United States. We've talked about the Reagan Revolution
for decades. Is there a Trump Revolution still to come?

(03:05):
David Sinati's our senior contributor. He's also the CEO of
the American Police Surround Table, host of the Public Square
heard on two hundred stations, and of course our senior contributor. Well,
another victory for the President last night, another defeat for
one who crossed him.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Good morning, Michael.

Speaker 5 (03:20):
Yes, I think that the question of whether Trump's the
most powerful voice in the Republican Party, that's easy. He
is the most powerful voice because he's willing to say
what he means, means what he says, and say.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
It out loud in public.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
The people who are the real power brokers behind the
scenes are the ones who are sitting in the Senate.
They don't say anything out loud. They say it all
behind closed doors. They say it all in the Club
of one hundred. And they're not happy with the President
once again at all. Because the people that run the
Senate are establishmentarianisms or institutionalists, depending on what word you

(03:57):
want to use. They believe the instant tuition of the
United States Senate, the power of the Club of one hundred.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
And they're not happy right now. They're not happy.

Speaker 5 (04:05):
About the President endorsing Paxton, they're not happy about what's
going on now, what that means for Cornyon, and they're
not happy about anything. So this is going to be
an interesting pushback by members in Congress. Now when you
look at what happened on the ground in Massi's district,
it's very good possibility. This wasn't as much about Donald

(04:26):
Trump as it was about Speaker Johnson about giving another
vote to the Speaker and the Republican caucus and the
Republican fractional majority that they could count on if things
get really tough.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Coming in January.

Speaker 5 (04:44):
If in fact the Democrats have got the majority, they
can't afford to have one more person voting with the
Democrats Club of one hundred. We've talked about that a lot.
You've often talked about that and how they use the
filibuster to protect the Club of one hundred. But let's
talk about as these targets turned to Senate members, do
you suspect that they'll be any more successful in stopping it?

(05:07):
Are representatives more vulnerable than senators when Donald Trump targets them? Yeah,
they are, because the politics is the more local we are,
the more opportunity there is for movement. I mean, Massey
lost this race by ten thousand votes. Actually me, he
lost it by ten points. Ten thousand votes end up
being the same thing. Yeah, so it was it was

(05:30):
one close, so the people in that district weren't engaged.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
They got it.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
Now, these were not two horrible candidates or one good
candidate and one horrible candidate. These were two credible candidates
and incumbent who had a track record and a business
person Navy seal coming in who's attempting to basically get
behind the speaker and get with the president's agenda.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
And so now we've got this, you know, a radical.

Speaker 5 (05:58):
Libertarian vote on principle, always forever, no matter what the cost,
is a luxury in the United States House. And if
you take that luxury too far, you can get out
of touch to the place where the people don't want
to back you, because even though they may agree with you,
even though they may admire you, they want to see
something accomplished. And so it may be that Massey overplayed

(06:22):
his sense of independence and then ultimately he got crosswise
with the president. It would seem that Massy be the
kind of person that Donald Trump would like as an outsider,
a fighter, etc. But when you put this in the
context of what the conflict is for Speaker Johnson to
hold together a coalition that prevents the most radical wing

(06:43):
of the Democrat Party from basically controlling policy in the House,
it's a very slim margin. So it looks like that's
what the people of Kentucky figured out in that district.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
We're going through the election results six states at primaries yesterday.
Davidson Audio, Senior contributor joining us. It's interesting, you know,
you think about jd Vance, for example, was once an
anti Trumper and somehow managed to overcome crossing Trump and
getting the running mate position and now being a heartbeat away.
Most people who cross the president get targeted. Massy did

(07:14):
and he got defeated. He's not the only one. Brad Raftssenburger,
he came in third place in the primary for the
governor's race in Georgia. Bert Jones took first place with
thirty eight point four percent. Rick Jackson, the billionaire, came
in second with thirty two and a half percent. Neither
reached the fifty percent threshold, so they'll be a runoff.
But Raffinsburger is gone. And that's another example of you

(07:37):
get on the president's wrong side. This was over election
results in twenty twenty. He's going to use his voice
and his coattails to impact your defeat, and that happened
once again. We talked a little bit about this on
the golf course because I talked about it Monday on
the air. Polling is just not accurate anymore. Can't trust
it because they can't get to the people. People don't

(07:59):
answer the phone. But boy, these polymarkets where people are gambling,
they may be a sign. I mean, in the case
of Massy, he went from a sixty four percent chance
of winning to a forty four percent chance of winning
in ten days and he ended up with forty five
percent of the vote. Maybe we should stop talking about
polls and talk more about what people are betting with

(08:20):
their real money.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
Yeah, I you noticed the first time you brought that up,
I didn't say anything. In the second time, I'm going
to say even less. I hate to tell you, Michael,
I know what you said is true. I think I
understand perhaps why it might be true. But the reality
is it's so abundantly stupid that not what you said,

(08:46):
but the fact that we're doing it.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
That this is where I the.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Fact that I'm not encouraging it. I'm encouraging the gambling
addiction in this country. But I'm saying they won't answer
the phone and tell you what they think. That's but
if you watch where their money's going, they're telling you
what they think. Maybe the only way to find this
phantom group of voters.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
Well, I think my point is not that the premise
is stupid at all. Is really you're when you're reporting
is absolutely accurate. The question is why and and why
is it that the betting companies can get closer to
reality than the polling companies.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
That is that just that's a great puzzle.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Any other surprises that you saw, anything that you would
you would say, well, this is a trend. We're seeing
this because I think what I leave with is is
more the obvious what we expected. And then questions, questions like, Okay,
the president has a big say in the primary process,
but is he gonna have a big say in the
general elections when he comes into some of these you know,

(09:44):
divided districts. Is he enough to get the Republican over
the Democrat in those districts let alone? What kind of
say does he have even after he leaves office? Is
this a Trump revolution that's beginning.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Again, that's a big question.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
I don't see. I don't think yesterday is any more
trend or evidence. We just won't know until the general.

Speaker 5 (10:11):
But because the general is going to come down to
whether or not people who want to continue the direction
of policy in this country that's going are going to
stand up and say we needed Congress to back a
president that's trying to make change and continue to move forward.
Or the reaction the hatred of Donald Trump, the hatred
of everything that he stands for, the hatred of the declaration,
the hatred of the celebration two fifty. Just basically the

(10:34):
radical left manages to crust over. Now they don't have
more numbers than the Conservatives in this country and the
moderates and the independence. It's just a question of who's
going to show up, and historically, if there's not a
giant top of the ticket to come out for, people.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
Don't show up.

Speaker 5 (10:49):
Now, that was a change that didn't happen in Kentucky
in that Republican primary, there was a big turnout, So
there might be an indicator there that if enough money's
spent and enough people are made aware of really what's
at stake, they will make a solid choice. They will
look at the process and make a decision, as opposed
to just one side overwhelm the others just based on
reaction and the other side being sleepy.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Well, it ends up being not only the most expensive
primary in history. I think it's a number that will
never be beat more with Davidson not e when we return.
I want every father and grandfather who's listening right now
to listen. There are websites right now or anyone, and
I mean anyone can look up your home address, find

(11:29):
the names of your children, your spouse, map out where
you live, what your daily routine looks like, the things
you believe in, the things you support and give to
data brokers build that database, and they do it without
your permission, without your knowledge, and even profit from it
every single day. Now, that's not just an issue of privacy.

(11:51):
You're a person of faith who takes the responsibility of
protecting your family serious. It's a threat you simply can't ignore.
The real solution is you gotta disappear. Somebody's got to
make you disappear. So if you're shopping online, or if
you're renting hotels or cars online, this is where they
get all the information, sometimes just renewing your license, and

(12:13):
then they put that together with your social media footprint.
So you got to get that information removed. And that's
where in Cogni comes in, and cognis who protects me
and my family. They removed my information from five hundred
and thirty eight sites in the first forty eight hours.
That would have taken me over five hundred hours to
do and I never would have found the time. And
Cogne does it for you and it's always affordable. But

(12:34):
as at your morning show listener, you can get sixty
percent off if you act today in Cogni I, ncog
Ni and Cogniti dot Com use the promo code Michael
and Cogni dot Com promo code Michael. Protecting your family
starts with protecting your information. They can't scam you, they
can't spam you, they can't sell you. They can't target
you if they can't find you. In Cogni dot Com

(12:57):
promo code Michael.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chuna.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Well, we can't know everything that President Trump and Chijingping
discussed during that China summit. Something tells me Vladimir Putin's
getting a briefing of that the Russian president visited. Was
she in China just days after President Trump was in Beijing.
You could brainstorm any number of things that could be

(13:24):
being discussed. Ending the war with Ukraine cooperation as China
plans to cooperate and ending the war in Iran and
opening the Strait of Hormuz. They are allies, there are adversary,
but they were talking days after the President visited. And
then she plans to visit the President here in America

(13:45):
again in September. So a lot of eyes on that
meeting with Vladimir Putin and President. She at Gallerin one
backed by the President, and that knocks Thomas Massey out
of the US Congress across the President in the next primary,
and that certainly ends up being the case for Cassidy
and Massey with the question of who might be next.

(14:06):
And you know, we were talking earlier. You know, we forget.
We tend to be more forgetful of recent history than
than past history that tends to get revised. I lived
eight years of Ronald Reagan. I felt great about him
being president. There were a lot of people that were
very critical of him. There was an assassination attempt, there

(14:28):
was the releasing of the hostages at the end. There
was around contra in the middle. I don't think it's
revised history at all to remember Ronald Reagan far more
influential after his eight years in office in terms of
the Reagan Revolution and a generation inspired much the same
way Kennedy did for Democrats. These are people that were
far more loved, respected and influential after office than in

(14:54):
It is that are we seeing that picture developed for
Donald Trump?

Speaker 3 (14:58):
Oh? What a great question. Analysis.

Speaker 5 (15:00):
It's funny because everyone was tired of Reagan until he
was gone, right, and then everybody missed him. I don't
know if that's going to be the same thing for
Donald Trump. But one thing I know for certain. You
speak about the exterior reality of the Reagan Revolution out
here in the real world of House races and Senate
races and legislators and governors and young people deciding to

(15:21):
pursue public policy and public service.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
That's very real.

Speaker 5 (15:25):
The tragedy of the Reagan Revolution was the bad handoff,
the handoff.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
To George H. W.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Bus, the ultimate establishment, the ultimate establishment, who ultimately failed
and then opened the door to Hillary Clinton and all
the grief that then followed.

Speaker 5 (15:41):
And so this is and I said, Hillary Clinton by design. Yes,
I know Bill Clinton was elected, but it always has
been John Podessa and Hillary Clinton.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Now we know that it was always two for one.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Yeah, it was really three for one. Used to hide Podesta.

Speaker 5 (15:57):
And to tie these two stories together, we look at
look at what Jijiping and and putin.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
These are long term people, very very long term.

Speaker 5 (16:07):
They know if there is a eight year follow through
with Donald Trump and it is somebody of substance in
caliber and the nation continues to go in the direction
of the policy, forget the personality, that China and Russia
have to make an adjustment. They also know that if
the Americans just play politics, give up swing the pendulum,
and go back to someone from the radical left, then

(16:28):
China and Russia are back in charge because they know
that America can't function off a leftist platform.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
They know that.

Speaker 5 (16:35):
So they're right now talking about what we're talking about
the long term reality of what's.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Going to happen next.

Speaker 5 (16:42):
And so the question is, will the extremists on the left,
the radical tear everybody down, socialists who can't stand the
fundamental morality of America take back over in the reaction,
or will the Trump train keep moving even though Trump's
not there and it stops being about Trump being about policy.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
So I brought up earlier the terrible timing in Oregon
to try to pass a gasoline tax at a time
when everybody is fixated on gasoline. Well, I could say
the same with any audio I play of Kamala Harris.
You know they're talking about stacking the cord and black
athletes boycotting SEC universities. I mean, it's all this teardown

(17:23):
of the Republic for the purposes of them having an
advantage in winning. They're making it about dse Americas wanted
to make it about A and Russia, and China is
wondering do they can they survive the energy crisis over
the next two years to see if they can get
dummies back in the office that they can control. This

(17:44):
is Shannon Gregory and my morning show is your Morning
Show with Michael de Jono. Hi, I'm Michael, and your
Morning show is heard on great radio stations across the
country like one oh five nine twelve fifth d WHNZ
in Tampa, Florida, News Radio five seventy WKBN in Youngstown, Ohio,

(18:06):
and News Radio one thousand KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love
to have you listen to us live in the morning.
And of course we're so grateful you came for the podcast.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Enjoy.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Thanks for bringing your morning show along on Michael Jeffrey's
Got the Sound Reds keeping eye on the content. Our
senior contributor Davidson Audius with us tomorrow a visit with
Brett Baar from Fox News. His anticipated book, A Case
for America, is coming out. It really is a great
question to ask. We're about to celebrate two hundred and
fifty years. We are, in reality the divided states and

(18:40):
the divided people of America, under any God or no God,
completely divisible and liberty and justice is hanging by a thread.
Can the document itself, the Declaration of Independence, lead us
back to not just the ideal, but unitis is a nation.

(19:03):
Prett Bear's going to make that case for America tomorrow
and your morning shows to stick around for that. We
were talking a little bit off the air and on
the air about this big picture topic in America today
and whether or not you know there's going to be
a Trump revolution like a Reagan revolution. Will Trump have

(19:26):
the same amount of say in the general election as
he does in influencing a primary or the next presidency?
And I'm just struck and follow me on this day
bed because I don't want to get another I won't
go there with you. I'll be silent. But the biggest
things that we seem to oppose. All die without a battle,

(19:46):
and fast, it seems, and they all die of the
same thing, reality or ultimately truth. I mean, look at
what we have battled with wokeness and how far it
went till it went too far and then just gone.
And I would say for the by the same way

(20:08):
of trans trans agendas the gay movement as well. It's
almost like when they push just gratuitously homosexuality and like
shows now it's not the same. And I just wonder
what's going to happen with voters. They're either going to

(20:28):
respond to the left, which is is all about. Remember envy.
This this is a gospel of envy. And MB says,
you have something, it belongs to us, whether it's an office,
you know, whether it's an executive branch. And if we
can't have it, you can't have it either. We'll destroy it.
So you don't like the way the Supreme Court's doing,
just stack the court or destroy the court. You don't

(20:51):
like the way votes are going, well you know what
we'll do. We'll have two representatives from each district. Whatever
it takes for us to out number you. Sense of
my gut, please tell me you're feeling it too. This
is going to die as quick and as silently as
wokeness for them. Or if it works and I don't
think it will wow, well, then I worry about the

(21:13):
other side becoming so disenfranchised, so disgusted, so disparaged, that
that would kill a Trump revolution from turning into a
Reagan revolution. But do you see where I'm coming from.
I think you're right on it. You are right over
the target.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
Friend.

Speaker 5 (21:30):
The question is will the voters have the capacity to
hang tough or will will they get bought off by
the commercials and the personality games? Will will they will
they take the petty offense or the long term example
Donald Trump, people not talk about look at what he's
done to prices. Okay, yep, there's no doubt about that
in regardss to fuel prices. But we have already forgotten

(21:51):
that if the folks that supported the President's tax cuts
had simply not supported those tax cuts, had someone else
been in office, you wouldn't be looking right now at
the cost of gasoline. You'd be looking at your income
taxes soaring because all of those tax cuts would have disappeared.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
Now they're permanentized. That is critical.

Speaker 5 (22:12):
That was the most important economic move that the next
president had to get done. And Trump and that tiny, tiny,
fractional majority got it done.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
I don't care whether you hate the people.

Speaker 5 (22:22):
The bottom line is look at the economic impact and
the results and the justice of it as opposed to
being blasted away with more taxes so they can spend.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
Away more money.

Speaker 5 (22:33):
And one of the things you have to remember is
when they cut taxes, oh my god, it increases the deficit. Yes,
but it exposes everything that they're doing. That would have
been a tragic disaster had that one not go through.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
Well, but wait a minute, we got high fuel prices. Yeah,
you got high fuel prices for what reason?

Speaker 5 (22:49):
Because Trump saw as a president the opportunity to take
on a forty seven year problem which goes back sixteen
fourteen hundred years in regards to is the window if
historic opportunity was there, and he took it, tipped over
the apple cart. And yeah, I hate paying four dollars
a gallon for gasoling, just like everybody else. But the

(23:09):
fact is, I hate worse ignoring the Islamic stuff that's
going on. And I was using stuff because there's a
lot of words I can't use what's going on around
the world and around this country. When people say death
to America every single day, they mean it.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
By the way, everybody thinks, oh, well, they don't have
any delivery system they could have got they weren't on
the brink of it. I love when people bring you
want to know, my worst scenario is an EMP? Do
you know how EMPs are done? Those are nuclear explosions
high in the atmosphere, and guess what, it's sixteen hundred. Again,
I don't know about you, but none of us know
how to hunt other than this mother in San Diego,

(23:49):
or how to live without electricity. They could have easily
pulled something like that up, and then what do you
think your gas prices would have been, or what do
you think your life would have been. There's just been
no respect for the threat of Iran, and so you know,
if you say the temporary pain for the ultimate security,
well you got to understand what the ultimate threat was,
and we don't.

Speaker 5 (24:10):
And the personality stuff, look care, you get a president
with great personality, that's a wonderful thing. You get a
present with great policy that's better. Yes, now I'm not
suggesting that everything that he's done is great policy. But
I'll tell you he's not missing the big points. That's
why Shijiping and Putin are sitting around scratching them their
beards going, you know, their chin's going, what's going to

(24:31):
happen next? Which way is America going to go? They
listen to these radio shows, Michael. They know we're a
country that's decided between two points. They also know that
what they've got as socialist communist empires is not going
to last either. So the question they're wondering is how
much longer can they pull the wool over the eyes
of Americans?

Speaker 1 (24:51):
And they'd love for that that Your first tint should
have been when all of the media and all of
the political analysts and all the talking heads were all
unifor immediately Donald Trump's never going to be president. Donald
Trump can't be president. This guy is a joke. That
should have been your first clue. Now we're at a
point where I actually think, in the case of Donald Trump,

(25:16):
he is going to be more powerful. He is going
to have a say in who the next nominee for
President of the United States is. I think the Democrats
I don't see a personality on the horizon that they
can add bad policy to and get away with it.
I mean things are looking things are looking pretty good,
and we often talk about I don't think mag is

(25:38):
as big as you think, but I think you know, mat,
I go back to that same question. I keep asking,
what has Donald Trump done that's not in the Republican
Party platform to have so many Republicans against him.

Speaker 5 (25:50):
He's challenged the Club of one hundred, he's challenged the billionaire.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
But it's in their platform. He has nothing outside of
that platform. Yeah, just remember he's exposed how they're all taught.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
Yes, the premise of your thought is exactly correct, that
a platform should mean something because it is a promise
by a political party. The only problem is, that's the
mistake that we make, is to think that the platform
is anything other than throwing a piece of paper to
people who are ideologues, giving them what they want on paper,
and then ignoring them for the rest of the term.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
That's what happens every single time. And he has exposed
that fraud once and for all. Well, I think there's
some very interesting times ahead. I don't know. I'll let
you take the final say on what yesterday and then
what next Tuesday might add to this, But I think
what we see is the President of the United States
is the most powerful voice in the Republican Party. He's

(26:41):
very influential in primaries and that will continue. As to
whether or not he's going to be influential in general
elections or in selecting the next nominee for the Republicans
for president remains to be seen. But across him now
and have a very rough time of it in your primary.
Is the ongoing theme.

Speaker 5 (26:58):
Well in Kentucky, maybe a bit, because it may be
that their people did not choose on personalities because they
liked both people and they didn't consider Thomas Massey.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
To be a trader or a horrible person.

Speaker 5 (27:10):
They just recognized that the coming political wins require a
more pragmatic approach, and they went with policy, not personality.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
They decided to hang tough.

Speaker 5 (27:19):
If that's the indicator that the voters are going to
hang tough on policy, then the Democrats have got a problem,
because if you have rightly portrayed earlier, the socialist's agenda
never works.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
It's always just a matter of time.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Makes us all wonder which way the winds are blowing
in Texas. Next week we'll have a forecast for you
in the coming days. Thank you. David Davis Anadi's the
CEO of the American Policy round Table, host of the
Public Squirm, probably be back tomorrow. I would assume he
is our senior contributor. I appreciate his time. All right,
here are your top five stories waking up. Russian President
Vladimir Putin had meetings with Shijhing Ping and China yesterday,

(27:51):
just days after President Trump left.

Speaker 6 (27:53):
The two leaders were seen shaking hands during the welcoming ceremony.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
Russian media says.

Speaker 6 (27:57):
Putin began their talks by healing the strong positive relationship
between the two countries, and Chinese media says she hailed
their unyielding relationship. The Chinese leader also reportedly told Putin
that further conflict between the US and Iran was inadvisable
and that a lasting ceasefire was necessary.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
I'm Mark Neeview.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Republican Member of Congress, Thomas Massey, a vocal critic of
the president, conceded defeat in the Republican primary of Kentucky's
Sports Congressional district. We weren't really running against Ed Galeran,
we weren't running against Donald Trump. We were running for
what we believe in no, you were actually running against

(28:37):
both just ask ed.

Speaker 4 (28:38):
It was a David versus Goliath. I was the underdog.
I want to thank the President. I want to thank
the Conservative Republicans from this district and my supporters and team,
because it sends a message that we the people are
going to stand up.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
The very limited edition Trump coin marking the nation's two
hundred and fiftieth birthday will not be ready in time
for the celebration.

Speaker 7 (28:58):
The US Men confirmed that the twenty four carrot gold
coins featuring President Trump will not be finished in time
for the nation's semiquincentennial. According to a legal filing reviewed
by Newsweek, the project is still in early development. The
final design has not yet been approved, and production is
expected to take several more months. Only forty seven coins

(29:19):
are planned, each containing roughly ninety thousand.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
Dollars worth of gold. I'm Jim Roop.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Speaking of that club of one hundred. The Senate passed
a war powers resolution yesterday meant to limit President Trump's
iron war powers. Tammy Treheel reports it.

Speaker 8 (29:34):
Marks the first time it's passed after several failed attempts.
Republican senators who's in collins of Maine. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska,
Ran Paul of Kentucky, and Bill Castiy of Louisiana joined
Democrats to pass the motion fifty to forty seven. Cassidy
lost his primary bid just days ago and voted in
favor of the resolution for the first time as before.
Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania was the only Democrat to

(29:57):
oppose it. If it passes in the House, the measure
will Shirley be vetoed by Trump. I'm Tammy Trujillo.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Well, I've never been seen an episode of The Simpsons,
let alone south Park, but Comedy Central is setting the
premiere date for the highly anticipated new season of South Park.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
I'm going damn.

Speaker 6 (30:10):
South but I'm going to have myself time.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Sadly bases everywhere I'm look for.

Speaker 6 (30:15):
The show has won an Emmy for Best Animated Program
five times, raking up eighteen nominations, and it's almost thirty
year run. The season premiere is September the sixteenth on
Comedy Central. New episodes will drop every other Wednesday. I'm
Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Will a tennis legend proves that it's never too late
to go back to school? Or from Jason Nathanson.

Speaker 9 (30:33):
In nineteen sixty one, Billy Jean King started taking classes
at count State Los Angeles, studying history, but before finishing,
she left to focus on her professional tennis career, where
she'd gone to win twelve Grand Slam Singles championships. Sixty
five years later, she finally got that history degree, graduating
Monday and telling students one of her favorite life lessons
she picked up along the way everything.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
We do winning or losing, good or bad, it's feedback,
not failure.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
It's feedback.

Speaker 9 (30:58):
The eighty two year old also said she hopes to
inspire others to finish school.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
I'm Jason Athenson.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Well, I'll bet everybody in Cleveland last night only wanted
a Calves win. They got a Guardian's win instead, Guardians
four to three over the Tigers. Tigers have now lost
twelve of their last fourteen. Cardinals beat the Pirates nine
to six, raise One four to one over the O's,
Philly's lost four to one to the Reds. A's pounded
the Angels fourteen to six, Fbacks beat the Giants five
to three, and the Dodgers won five to four over

(31:26):
the pod Race. Western Conference Final Game one is tonight
in the NHL, it'll be the Golden Knights traveling to
Colorado to take on the Avs and the NBA Calves
dropped Game one one fifteen one oh four to the Knicks. Knicks,
We're rusty in the first half with all that weight time,
but they got it together. New York now leads the
series one game to nothing. Tonight, Spurs lead one game

(31:46):
to nothing over OKC. Game two is tonight in Oklahoma City,
thunder Trail one game to nothing. Birthdays today, I will
not sing, but Cher is eighty now dressed like it
Buster rhymes, The rapper is fifty four, ghost actor Tony
Goldwyn is sixty six, and fight singer Fight song singer
Rachel Plattin is forty five. If it's your birthday, Happy birthdays,

(32:08):
So glad you were born and thanks for waking up
with your morning show. Well, what what's happening right now
in Iran isn't just another headline. It's a direct hit
to your wallet for how long we don't know, but
why we do know. Because when conflict breaks out in
the Middle East, oil moves first, and then everything follows.
Gas prices rise, shipping costs spike, and then suddenly your

(32:31):
dollar isn't going this far. We've seen it before, and
now banks are forecasting even higher gold and silver prices.

gold or silver, Who you work with really matters, and

Speaker 2 (33:19):
It's Your Morning Show with Michael del Churno.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
President Trump says he's open in the conflict with Iran.
Very quickly. Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Shijingping in
China just days after the President was in Beijing. Wonder
what they were talking about. FBI says that the two
teens suspects behind the deadly shooting at the Islamic Center
in San Diego. All both were found each other and
met online and radicalized online. They don't think this is

(33:47):
targeted at Islam, was in Islamophobia. These two were very troubled,
mentally ill and hated everybody, including Gay's Jews, you name it.
Roy O'Neill is joining us. I guess what we're ultimately
doing is looking at impacts of fuel cost and how
it might impact your summer vacation to the most affordable

(34:08):
places to buy a house, Energy and interest rates that
seems to be driving cost of living primarily rory, so
why would this be any different? Right?

Speaker 10 (34:17):
Yeah, and these bond market yields keep going up, that's
likely going to make mortgage rates continue to climb. But
new study from bank Wallet finds that gas prices this summer,
fifty nine percent of Americans say high gas prices will
affect their summer travel plans, with about half of Americans
say they plan to spend less money this summer than
they did last year. Although no, I don't know how

(34:38):
you're going to be able to do to spend less
money with everything costing so much more, especially gas and
food prices.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
You know, sometimes you see these wallet Hutch studies and
you go, I don't know. I don't buy that. No,
I get this this. I mean it would be purely anecdotal.
I'm not going anywhere. I don't have any money and
I can't afford that I would. I'd love to go
to Universal Woul. I'd love to go to Europe. I
mean my sons and locker rooms of soccer state. I
mean having the time of his life. He got to
play in the old course. But I'm not going anywhere.

(35:06):
So if people are like me, there's gonna be a
lot less spending going on. There can be a lot
of stay home vacations.

Speaker 10 (35:12):
About thirty percent say they're still paying off the last
summer vacation on their credit cards. Although we heard from
the CEO of Delta saying demand remains very strong, especially
for international travel and business travel.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
So he's seeing a bit more.

Speaker 10 (35:26):
I don't want to say the luxury mark, but more
of an upscale market continues to be strong. Larder of
that is fed on the success of Wall Street, and
the markets keep breaking these records.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
So we have home prices that are up, we have
interest rates that are high, and if anything, mortgage rates
are going up. I mean other than if you live
somewhere where home values are very, very high, to the
point where you could sell and then move somewhere where
you could pay cash and eliminate a house payment. Altogether,

(35:58):
I don't know that it's even a discussion. What's more,
affordable prices are high everywhere. The interest rates are high everywhere.

Speaker 10 (36:05):
Right, most affordable cities Flint, Michigan, Detroit, Michigan, and surprise, surprise,
Arizona coming in at number three.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
By the way, we have a mosler that always calls
some surprise Arizona. Surprise, Arizona is one of the more affordable.
Number three on the list. You Arizona is fourth.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
Akron, Ohio is fit.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
And let me just brag.

Speaker 10 (36:23):
I am telling this to everybody, and I won't shut
up about it. I got the wordle in one today.
Oh that's lucky.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Yep. So you're not one who starts with the same
word every day. I do not. Yeah, I kind of
rotate between three. I got in three but one. That's
impressive that now I played the practice game. Yeah, I've
never had it happen in real wordle and practice wordle,
I've had it happened twice. Well, congratulations you got in one,
I got in three. Were bound to have a great day,
great reporting.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
As always, we're all in this together. This is your

Bleep! with Ana Navarro

Bleep! with Ana Navarro

Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
