Speaker 4 (00:41):
Her eyes and shine. Ernie Bird gets the worm.

Speaker 5 (00:45):
Lazy squirrel, missus the nut that's.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
As profound as I'm going to get today.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Welcome to Thursday June, the twentieth year of our Lord
Time Stories.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
I can tell you Ben Tiger's toy.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Well, you know, it's always my dream to do overnight
love songs, you know, like at the end of my career,
after you know, spending decades and having to talk about
serious things, you know, just turned out to one of
those people that do late night snugle up music.

Speaker 5 (01:11):
We're gonna get you a YouTube channel.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Got some snug a loup music from Mary Supply on
the way for you. Next light rock less talk. Would
that be so relaxed? They must live in a world
they don't even know fights.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
Are going on. Here's a little riverband and reminiscing.

Speaker 6 (01:25):
Ah.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
Here's a little river ban for your lady with lady.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
I could be doing that right now for everybody in
Seattle and Portland.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
They're they're in snuggle up time.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
They are in snuggle up time, Rise and shine, early
bird gets the worm. Thursday, June the twentieth, the Year
of hon Load, twenty twenty four is awaiting us.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
And you know what it.

Speaker 5 (01:42):
Means, the charge of summer.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
My least favorite season you other than baseball, I don't
find anything about summer.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
I really enjoy it. I do love the summer. I
enjoy mowing my yard. Is that sad?

Speaker 1 (01:57):
I don't want to get away with this because my
yard boy is up this early, okay, but that was
one of my favorite things. I'm weird like that. I
like to mow the lawn, I like to vacuum. I
think it's that immediate. There's nothing more gratifying than you know,
when you mow a strip a lawn and you can
see it that looks right, so pretty that then the

(02:18):
lawn is right next to it, and you know you're
going there next. I think it's that immedia gratification. Yep,
I will watch it. I used to love to mow
my lawn, and I don't because if I did, I'd
have to fire Corey and I don't want to do that.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
I just pay. But I do miss it. Pay Corey
to watch.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Well, he's not like he's not that good. It's not
a beggar on the street. He's got five jobs, man.
But yeah, I don't know. Summer's always been my least favorite.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
I guess I always had this old theory that when
it's hot and now, of course we call it not
a heat wave, now it's.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
A heat dome.

Speaker 5 (02:54):
Oh yes, under the heat dome of global warminguddly nineties
will kill us.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
But it is the first official day of summer, and
I'm going to go out on a limb because well,
bat and I know when she lived abroad she liked
top places. But aaron summer, I would guess you're the
kind you're like the opposite of me. Summer's probably your
favorite season.

Speaker 7 (03:16):
I love summer, I do. I pretty much love every
I like all the seasons. But I get exhausted by
winter pretty quick.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
See, and I love to be there's something you know,
and even go to the clothes. And I like a
pair of jeans. I like a shirt with a V neck, sweater,
throw a scarf, a jacket. You know, at least when
you're cold, you can put something on. When you're hot,
you're down to skin and you're still hot. I never
liked being hot. And the beach is too slow and
boring for me. What Yeah, I don't. I'm not into that.

(03:46):
It's my least favorite season. But it's officially here was
the long wind up. Summer's here. We'll talk about the
heat dome. Canting sebody to come with a new song.
It's a heat dome.

Speaker 8 (03:57):
Possibly, I don't see why not?

Speaker 4 (04:00):
All right, I am the opposite of your story today.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
I think if I ever looked whenever I do take
a glance at like you know, credit card statements, whatever,
I'm always seeing stuff I don't recognize.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
I just don't.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
I wouldn't even know what to begin to do to
dispute something or who to contact, and then the amount
of time it would take. But shoppers are disputing millions
in credit card charges. Guess what they're winning. Aaron Rayel's
here with one of our top stories today that we're
going to cover with her.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
What are most of the disputes about, Just.

Speaker 7 (04:31):
Any sort of charge that they didn't see, they didn't like.
And actually, under federal law debiting credit card holders, they
can dispute billionairerows anything that's unrecognized or unauthorized, if it's misrepresented,
they have a right to do that. And much like
everything else, is started in the pandemic. So long story short,
the companies, the card companies, they streamline the dispute process

(04:53):
very early in the pandemic because so many customers were
trying to get their money back for flights, hotels, cancel plans,
you name it. So they made it really easy. You
just go online, a couple of clicks and you get
it back. Before that, customers had to you know, call
and then the card issue needed documents of their claims.
Not anymore very easy. So while theoretically customers are supposed

(05:16):
to make this like good faith effort to resolve disagreements with.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
It because because you know this is going to turn
to something good for people that were getting harassed now
that people are going to use it and arrass the companies.

Speaker 7 (05:28):
Indeed, Yeah, and like the idea is that you're supposed
to make a good faith effort to reach out to
the merchant try and get your money back, but people
are going directly to the nuclear option, calling the card company.
And the reason people like this is because you immediately
get money credited back to your account, and when the
card holder misuses this process, it's called friendly fraud. But essentially,

(05:50):
when you have a dispute, the company gives you a
temporary credit for the amount in question, and then they
pull the money from the merchant. So this is very
problematic for merchants, not so bad for the actual consumer,
but merchants end up suffering quite a bit from this
because they have to then go and dispute and say no,
this was or this wasn't. But you, as the card holder,

(06:11):
it's kind of nothing but upside.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Well, yeah, I mean, I'm not going to far be
it from me not to stick up for the little man,
because it's usually me. But there's one of us, all right,
And so we're the ones, you know, but there's millions
of consumers put it's got to be putting a cost
on the companies that'll eventually get passed down to all
of us. I'm guessing friendly fraud doesn't take long before

(06:35):
it gets unfriendly expense for me.

Speaker 8 (06:39):
Exactly.

Speaker 7 (06:40):
But at the moment we're not seeing that. And this
might speak to how much money the credit cards company have.
But credit card companies have, but last year, consumers apparently
disputed over one hundred million charges just over that that
was worth an estimated eleven billion. It's up from only
seven billion in twenty nineteen, and they think it's going
to rise forty percent by twenty two. This is not

(07:01):
going away. And again, cardholders are always given the benefit
of the doubt. The merchants are not. And if you're
a small merchant, a small business, apparently every dispute it
costs the average merchant thirty seven bucks to resolve, but
it can take months to get the money back on
your card. And if you have too many of these
then you can get dinged by the credit card companies.

(07:22):
They could charge you more for using their cards and
the transactions that take place, or.

Speaker 8 (07:27):
They could withdraw.

Speaker 7 (07:28):
Their ability to have their cards processed at your shop.

Speaker 8 (07:33):
So this could be bad. This could be bad, and
at the same time, it's kind of nice to.

Speaker 7 (07:38):
Know that there is recourse if you are using a
credit card, but you don't want to constantly pull this
one and find yourself in trouble.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
So John Decker always says, I like Michael, he's curious.
There is a link between curiosity and street smarts or intelligence.
I noticed, you know a lot of smart people are curious,
is all I'm getting at. It's also very aggravating, so
the curious side of me is still wondering, all right,

(08:07):
could some of this or a lot of this be
We've gotten into this marketing culture where everything is you know,
used to be if you needed something, it was there.
Now it might be a subscription, or it might be
a temporary subscription or a trial. So we have that
for channels on television, for websites, so all these things
have these trial things that we forget we did and

(08:29):
then they're there.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
Is that causing an increase?

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Is that a part of this because that's the part
that gets me. I don't remember things that I hit
to see a story and it triggered some kind of
a seven day free trial and actually know I got
all these charges that are adding up to a lot monthly,
and then I'm wondering how much of the bulk of
the increase in because it can't be consumers buying things
and changing their mind or buying things in it not arriving.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
That's always happened.

Speaker 7 (08:56):
Right, it's a little bit of both, to be honest,
Like some people since it's so easy. Now, let's say
you like a chair and the chair arrived and it's
not exactly what you wanted from the pictures. Quickly, instead
of like sending the merchant and saying we want this back,
they'll just go to the card company and be like, no,
stop the purchase, which seems silly, but that's what a
lot of people are doing. But you're right, it's any
unrecognized charge, any unwanted subscription. Just trying to get stuff

(09:19):
for free. Is different from oh, I didn't even realize
I signed up for this. And I think in the
age that we live in where all of a sudden,
you're like, my card's being hit all the time for
this random subscription that somehow.

Speaker 8 (09:31):
I don't even remember getting.

Speaker 7 (09:32):
So that's a part of it too, and I'm sure
that's why the card company streamlined it. The ability to
put a hold on any sort of charge back and
then get your money credited back to you while they
figure out what's going on.

Speaker 8 (09:45):
And most of the time the consumer wins.

Speaker 7 (09:47):
These disputes usually go in the customer's favor and the
credit becomes permanent.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Aaron's gonna be back. We're going to talk about artificial intelligence.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
It's reached a point where a created profile has actually
run for office, let alone how it's going to affect
races in general, which, by the way, I may throw
a curveball at you later too, because now we think
our only hope to protect us from AI is AI
that can monitor AIS. It's like the wolf is going
to be guarding us the Henhouse.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
Aaron, great reporting. We'll talk again in a little bit.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
It's seventeen minutes after the hour if you're just waking up. Look,
we got a tropical storm Alberto that is going to
be bringing severe weather to the coast of Texas and
the country of Mexico. Along with it, we have the
White House reportedly canceling a high level meeting with Israeli
officials who are already in the air on their way
here for the meeting, and apparently the White House is

(10:38):
upset over the waybb Net and Yahoo has framed our
support with weapons shipments. Again, this is part of the
eye problem for the really the Democrat Party, but this
particular administration, they have an Israel problem, and if they

(11:02):
support them too much, they lose part of their base.
If they don't support them enough, Things like this get
in the news and everybody's like, what is going on
the United States can't decide whether it wants to root
for Israel or terrorists. You know, we're next on the
terrorist lists. So this is kind of like a high
profile dispute slash embarrassment shaping today. Meanwhile, Russia and North

(11:24):
Korea are they strengthening their ties as Vladimir Putin seeks
ammunition for his ongoing war in Ukraine. We talked with
James Karafano about this and Lieutenant Colonel says, well, first
of all, all of a sudden, Putin's just visiting places.
It's not even on the docket. Nobody even invited them.
It appears as though he's building these alliances, but it's

(11:45):
all show and it's not real. Well, I guess if
we start seeing North Korean weapons arriving in Ukraine to
support Russian efforts and troops, we might change our mind
on that. That's what it's being sold as. Is it
really that we just simply don't know? But from people
Lieutenant Colonel Carafano talks to it appears to be more

(12:06):
show than it does reality Time will tell got a
new Fox poll.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
Of all the polls, foxes is the only poll showing
Joe Biden in the lead.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Really, Fox got old Joe in the lead over Trump
for the first time since October.

Speaker 5 (12:20):
Joe's surging.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
How was that happening? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
And again you got always whenever it comes to polls,
are these likely voters registered voters? Is this nationwide? Because
as you know, it's not. We have an electoral college.
Popular vote does not elect the president. So the real
key things are the you look into the swing states,
where is it leaning, and that's pretty consistently Donald Trump.

(12:50):
So these are some of the stories that we're going
to be kicking around. We've got a lot of smart
people that are going to be joining us. Roy o'nil's
gonna talk to us about a new study the average American.
Remember the old expression years old as you feel. Yep,
that's a good news. Bad news is we feel on average,
ten years older than we are.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Yeah, I feel seventy.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
But how do you know?

Speaker 1 (13:05):
That's the part, you know, this is where my curiosity
becomes aggravating. How do you know? I don't know what
seventy feels like. Frankly, I don't know what sixty feels like.
Yet I go by what my parents tell me. Is
this like a Facebook thing where you answer three ridiculous
questions and it tells you.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
Your mental age is? You know?

Speaker 9 (13:24):
Could be?

Speaker 4 (13:26):
So I don't know what you know? We write more.
I mean, this is the part of getting old, don't
I only know what I feel and what I have
felt my hips.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, that's that's just life, life in a temporary body
that's been dying since birth.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
Thank you Jesus.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
David Bonson, Look, if the solution to the housing crisis
is building more houses? Is the solution to the rent crisis?
Build more apartments? We'll ask our money? Was an expert
David Bonson about that. My favorite conversation is going to
be Far and Away with John Decker as the first
debate is now a week away. What can we expect,
what will it look like? How are these candidates preparing,

(14:05):
who's helping them prepare? What debate is necessary for one
to gain an advantage? Remember, debates are always about having
a couple one at least, or a couple of good
moments and avoid a bad moment. You can't win an
election with a debate, but you can lose an election

(14:27):
with a debate.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
Let's talk to a White House correspondent about that.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
We'll get a preview from John Decker coming up later
in the show.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chna.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Good morning, and welcome to your morning show, streaming live
and on the Earth on your iHeartRadio app. All right,
if you're just waking up, it is twenty eight minutes
after the hour, and welcome to summer. It's official, the
first day of summer. Martin Murrayfield has more.

Speaker 10 (14:54):
It's the summer solstice, the longest day of the year
north of the equator.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
Earth has a solstice every.

Speaker 10 (14:59):
Six month months in June, which has the most minutes
of daylight, and in December, which has the fewest minutes
of daylight. Thursday, we'll show sunlight for over fourteen hours.
Temperatures are already feeling like summer across the US as
there's no relief in sight for the heat wave, which
is roasting the Northeast and the Midwest. It's been decades
since such dangerous heat as lingered for this long in
some of those areas. Multiple cities from Chicago to Boston

(15:22):
are expected to reach the highest level of the Weather
Service Heat risk forecast over the coming days. I'm Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 4 (15:29):
I love Dror.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yesterday He's like, you know, one hundred and ten degrees
you know what that is in Texas Tuesday. Yeah, But boy,
when it hits New York where all the reporters are,
suddenly we got a heat dome and we're all going
to die. Russia and North Korea are they strengthening ties?

Speaker 11 (15:44):
Lisa Taylor reports is Vladimir Putin seeks ammunition for his
ongoing war in Ukraine. Putin made a rare visit to
North Korea to hold a summit with Kim Johan Nun
in which the two signed a pact. Janie Mackie Frere
has details.

Speaker 12 (15:55):
That provides mutual assistance in case of aggression against either
of the two countries. Putin said the agreement lifts their
ties to a new level as they're both looking to
strengthen their partnership in the face of sanctions from the West.

Speaker 11 (16:09):
The trip marks Putin's first trip to North Korea in
more than two decades. I'm he's a Taylor.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
The White House has reportedly canceled a high level meeting
with Israeli officials as they're in the air and on
their way to the United States concerning Iran and nuclear ambitions.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
Axio supports.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
The move was in response to a video posted by
Israeli Prime Minister benjaminette Yahoo in which he claimed the
US was withholding military aid. This outraged the White House
and they canceled the meeting. More tension between the US
and Israel, more eye problem for the Biden administration. In sports,
our area baseball teams, well, we had mostly winners. In fact,

(16:46):
only two losers are playing other cities. Cardinals loss to
the Marlins, Rangers one Raised one, Nats one, Guardians one.
Of course, the Mariners and the Dbacks lost to the
Nats and Guardians respectively. Birthdays today beach boy Brian Wilson
two years old, Lionel Ritchie seventy five, and actor John
Goodman seventy two and actress Nicole Kidman fifty seven.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
Hi, it's Michael.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Your morning show can be heard on great radio stations
across the country like News Talk ninety two point one
and six hundred WREC and Memphis, Tennessee, or thirteen hundred
The Patriot and Tulsa or Talk six to fifty KSTE
in Sacramento, California. We invite you to listen live while
you're getting ready in the morning. It take us along
for the drive to work, but as we always say,
better late than never. Thanks for joining us for the podcast.

(17:31):
It's time to start the day in a serious manner.
Good morning, and welcome to your morning show. I am
Michael del Joran. I'm just sitting here looking at I
get Look, I'm not afraid I understand what. We live
in a matrix right now. We don't have news, we
don't have understanding. We just have narratives and narrative repeating.
But you know, I've got to go into all the

(17:52):
different narrative domes and know what people are talking about.
And it's interesting to me. The New York Times sends
me a daily email and it's I still remember how
hot the summer of ninety three felt. I was an
intern working at the Boston Globe. Nobody was talking global
warming back then. I's at the Boston Globe form a

(18:12):
big shot now with the New York time, And when
I returned to the office in the afternoon after reporting
trips around the city, you just feel myself melting walking
across the parking lot. As the Globe headline put it,
the entire city pavements buckle, People lose cool, fans just
blow hot air. Since then, I've often thought of the

(18:33):
ninety three hot a summer ever, but it really wasn't
according to historical weather data.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
Just felt that way, And of.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
Course the rest of the whole email is about global
warming and how we're just getting used to it. Then
they'll do a chart and the'll do tenths of degrees
to make whatever point it wants to make with an
overlay of global temperatures compared to pre and dust real levels.

(19:01):
And again everything has to be crafted into the narrative
because the narrative generates the understanding. You know, this can
happen in the legal world, and I'm not even an attorney,
but you can have notions or feelings or emotions and

(19:22):
they can guide you, or you can let the evidence
lead you to the perpetrator.

Speaker 4 (19:33):
I was thinking of.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
My wife jokingly, I get away with this. I don't
think she's up yet. Whenever something pops up, because life happens. Right,
a kid drives to the garage door. You weren't expecting
to have to get a new garage door, and now
you do. You thought you were going to replace a
few boards in your deck. Next thing, you know, the
whole deck's got to be replaced. It one from being
a few hundred dollars that you had planned and prepared
for two thousands. All right, So that's life. And my

(19:59):
wife just says constantly, always saying the same thing. And
this speaks to a real sacrifice she made when we
found out we were pregnant, and then later we found
out they were twins. She stopped being an attorney and
made the choice to stay home and pour her life
into her children. So she carries that. You know, again,

(20:20):
I find so much worth in her as a wife
and a mother. That has always impressed me more than
being an attorney. So her big line is, I gotta
get a job. I gotta get a job, I gotta
get a job, So then me mocking her whenever something happens.
Now I just go, well, I gotta get a job.
I gotta get a job. But you know what joking aside,

(20:41):
Do you know what I noticed? I started feeling anxiety.
I started I started getting all these feelings. That's the
power off our mom. Your mind is nothing but a
computer for your heart and soul to control. If you
stand in a mirror and tell it, and you you
look at yourself in the mirror and you say to

(21:01):
your mind, why am I so fat? Your mind will
start telling you while you're so fat, why am I
so ugly? Your mind will start telling you why you're
so ugly? I mean, think about when for those of
you of faith and read the Bible, how often you read?
Set your mind on these things? Guard your heart and mind.

(21:26):
It's powerful. So why does it surprise us collectively that
we have agendas that are driving narratives, not facts, not news,
not understanding, not personal responsibility, not proportional in context information.
You have agendas driving narratives. You have divided people doing

(21:50):
nothing but fighting with each other and repeating narratives that
suddenly you can't have a hot day without it.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
Being summer.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
It's got to be global warming and we're all gonna die,
or it's gotta be There're a bunch of idiots. Everything's
global warming, just hot. I'll give you an example. This
is the Washington Post forecast for it, by the way,
And may I add if there was something big going
on in the news right now, in other words, if

(22:17):
they had something of their other agendas that they could
really sell you, kind of like they're minering right now
and the gas lighting coming from the White House that
Joe Biden's not old. That's all video manipulation. They just
don't have it, so they're focus on it. But they
would drop this at the end of the day. Nobody
cares really about global warming. They'd like you too, so

(22:40):
they can control you, but no one at the end
of the day really does.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
That's why I think we're so fascinated.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
During COVID global warming, they say, don't drive this, don't
work here, don't live there, don't use this, don't lose that,
and you would never listen. COVID comes along, wear a mask.
Hey they did social distance, Holy crap they did. And
I'm stay at home and close your business.

Speaker 5 (23:06):
Oh my gosh. They did, they'll do whatever.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
We found a world that won't obey Almighty God, but
they'll do whatever fauc She says. They were shocked and
no sooner when the whole duping was coming to a close.
I remember telling a friend of mine on the air,
I said, well, you know they're scrambling now, how can

(23:30):
we get people to shift this blind obedience from COVID
and the thread of dying to global warming. In the
thread of dying, they're going to try to do it,
So of course they're doing it. And now it's summer. Look,
I grew up in Chicago. We had many days in
the nineties. I remember being hot. We didn't need to
have air conditioning, didn't need it for about ten days

(23:56):
a year where it could happen. You just had ten
miserable days and save only the rest of the year.
It's pretty much how it rolled. But you had a heater.
Let me tell you that was five months.

Speaker 5 (24:06):

There's two feet of snow out there.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah, all right, but watch the Washington Post forecast for
eleven cities at.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
The core of the heat dome. Where's our bump, bump, bump, bomb.

in the nineties. Okay, that's Thursday, No, not today, not
an agenda's narrativized America.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Forecasts for eleven cities at the Core of the Heat Dome.

Speaker 4 (24:44):

as things near peak intensity.

Speaker 4 (24:56):
Al Right, so real quick, I only have two minutes.
What is.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
The stories you cover, the stories you don't cover, the
angles you choose, the angles you don't, the people you
talk to, the people you don't, the quotes you use,
the quotes you don't, the words you choose to craft
the entire story and put the ribbon and bow on it.

Speaker 4 (25:21):
I can't even get.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Past the headline forecasts for eleven cities at the core
of the Heat Dome as it nears its peak intensity summer. Now,
I understand this is a little early, and this is
a little hot, especially for Indianapolis, DC.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
I laugh at I lived in DC.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
DC's a lot like Nashville, and that we have four seasons,
but you can have a couple of weeks of extremes
in all of those seasons, Cities like Indianapolis, DC, Buffalo
all expected to reach a level four heat risk. Have
you ever seen so many words packed in such a

(26:03):
small space. Why don't they just come out and go?

Speaker 9 (26:07):
Fear Fear Fear Fear cartoons are in section three, Fear fear,

The core of the heat dome peak intensity reaching a
level four heat risk, the highest level of human health risk.
Then the story starts. Temperatures will soar into the mid nineties.

(26:47):
Now listen, if it was going to be one hundred
and sixty five degrees today in New York City, I'd say,
let's be alarmed.

Speaker 5 (26:55):
Things are soaring.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
It's gonna be one hundred and sixty five today in
Manhattan like the mid nineties.

Speaker 4 (27:01):

Five months a year, live it.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
In the desert. But you know, you have to ask yourself.
Can you have a heat wave? Can you have summer anymore?
I gotta get a job. I gotta get a job.

(27:52):
I gotta get you as afraid of global warming as
you were of COVID so we can control you. You'll
live or we tell you to live. Drive what we
tell you to drive, Do what we tell you to do.
I don't even know what you know at the end
of the day, I don't know how many of them

(28:13):
really believe it. Some of them probably do. I know
ed Bagley Junior does because my entire life he's been
refusing to drive a car, and he's peddling around Los
Angeles right now. At least for him, I go, you
get it, and you really believe it, So I'm okay
with you. But these people living any way they want,
flying their private jets, owning their newspapers, owning their television stations,

(28:39):
doing everything to control the way we live so that
they can continue to live the way they live that
I reject. This is not news, this is not even weather.
This is narrative and agenda. I know you guys are
way too smart not to see through that.

For those of you on the West Coast, insomnia.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Continues, and here's your top five stories.

Speaker 5 (29:25):
Of the day.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Well, according to Fox News, Old Joe's back in the lead,
Mark Mayfield has Today.

Speaker 10 (29:35):
In politics, a Fox News poll is showing President Biden
ahead of former President Trump for the first time since October.
The poll, published Wednesday shows Biden with a two point
lead over Trump for the twenty twenty four election, marks
a three point improvement for Biden and the first time
that he's gone over fifty percent this election cycle. A
group of US lawmakers are in northern India meeting with

(29:56):
the Dali Lama Ishan Gharan reports.

Speaker 13 (29:59):
For Sure now meeting with him ahead of the bill
being presented before President Biden.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
It calls for funds.

Speaker 13 (30:05):
To be provided to Tibet to counter what the US
calls Chinese propaganda over its unlawful annexation of Tibet.

Speaker 10 (30:11):
It's a bind partisan delegation of seven lawmakers meeting with
the exiled Buddhist monk at his monastery in the Himalayas.
The Dalai Lama fled China in nineteen fifty nine after
it failed uprising against Chinese rule in Tibet. Chinese officials
have been calling on President Biden not to sign the bill,
and the growing number of progressive Democrats planned to skip.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin D. Yaho's addressed to Congress. Dan

(30:32):
Yahu's speechure is set for in July twenty fourth, Max Politics,
Mark Mayfield, NBC News Radio.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
And let me guess they're all Democrats because they have
an eye problem Israel.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
By the way, one of those US officials was asked
after the meeting with the Dalai Lama, what do you say?

Speaker 4 (30:47):
What do he say?

Speaker 5 (30:48):
What do you say?

Speaker 1 (30:49):
And the official said, my deathbed, I'll receive total consciousness.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
Shah I got Shako before me. Sorry, couldn't couldn't.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
Resist the caddyshack thoughts, Well, here's a good strike that worked.
The US Central Command says an airstrike in Syria killed
a senior ISIS official.

Speaker 4 (31:05):
Lisa Taylor has more.

Speaker 11 (31:06):
The strike took place on Sunday. Sentcomm says the death
will disrupt isis's ability to conduct terror attacks. It adds
there is no indication any civilians were harmed in the strike.
I'm Lisa Taylor.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
The campaign for independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Junior
raised roughly three million dollars in May, according to federal filings.
Chris Karazio has details.

Speaker 14 (31:27):
It marks a sharp drop from April, when it took
in nearly eleven million dollars. The number is nowhere close
to President Biden or former President Trump. However, Biden reportedly
gained eight million dollars from just one fundraiser earlier this week,
while Trump's campaign says it took in over one hundred
and forty million dollars in May. I'm Chris Krajio, and
again this isn't you know when you're an independent candidate,

(31:50):
right away your audience is people that are rejecting the
two mainstream candidates. So it's not going to take you know,
television ads to change minds kind of money. But you
do have to have operational cash flow, and that is
a bad sign for RFK.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
And I think in big picture, we look at this
and we say, well, you know, we started off with
seven and ten Americans saying we don't want Trump or Biden.
When's the window of opportunity for RFK to peak. It
hasn't happened yet. Could that interest level rise after the debates?
But only if both fail during the debates. Time will tell.

(32:29):
But this is a really quiet time for RFK Junior
and you're seeing that in his fundraising. Justin Timberlake's attorney
is speaking out over the pop stars d WI arrest
early Tuesday morning and sag Harbor, New York, Lisa G reports.

Speaker 6 (32:43):
In a statement to Page six, Edward Burke Junior said,
we look forward to vigorously defending mister Timberlake against these allegations.
He will have a lot to say at the appropriate time.
After leaving a local hotel restaurant, cops say forty three
year old Timberlake ran a stop sign and when he
got pulled over. He reportedly refused a breathalyzer test. Timberlake

(33:04):
was taken into custody, arraigned, and released without bail. The
incident comes in the middle of his World tour. He
set to play Madison Square Garden next week. Lisa g
NBC News Radio, New York.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
So economically, it feels like a check made. We find
ourselves under a heat dome. We're all going to die
of global warming? What else could go wrong? Hurricane in Texas,
oh Mount Saint Helen's eruptinglo has more.

Speaker 15 (33:27):
Since February first, there have been over three hundred and
fifty small earthquakes with the magnitude of less than two
Seismologists at the US Geological Surveys say it could indicate
magma is moving into chambers beneath the volcano. There's no
indication it could erupt anytime soon. The last eruption was
in two thousand and eight, which added lava inside the crater.
Mount Saint Helen's most destructive eruption was in nineteen eighty,

(33:51):
and it killed fifty seven people. Mount Saint Helens is
the most seismically active volcano in the Cascade Range and
considered to be the most likely to erupt in the future.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
I'm Tammage Rho and that's your top five stories of
the day.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
