listening on the iHeartRadio app. That way, you don't have
to wait on hold. You get thirty seconds to make

this morning's kitchen table. All right, eight minutes after the hour,
and welcome to Monday, July the seventh. You about Lord
twenty twenty five. Israel has sent a team of negotiators
to Cutter to talk with Hamas about a gaza ceasefire. Meanwhile,
(01:27):
net Yaho's headed to the White House to visit with
the President about a hamasless gaza.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
In the future.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
President Trump slamming Elon Musk's announcement that he'll be starting
a third party. And it's the third day of search
and rescue after the tragic flooding in central Texas that
took eighty two lives. Now that death toll is at
eighty two, still fording the county unaccounted for ten campers
and one counselor among them. The Community Foundation of the
(01:54):
Texas Hill County has launched the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund.
It's specifically aim at helping those affected in the communities
such as hunt Ingram, Kerrville, Center Point, comfort all along
the Guadalupe River. The relief funds are being directed to
vetted local organizations involved in rescue, relief and recovery efforts,
(02:15):
flood assistance programs for displaced families, and rebuilding efforts in
the area's hardest hit. You're interested in giving, and we
talked earlier about you know, there is a human capacity issue.
You know, we experience so much with twenty four hour
news cycles, with social media. It's just more pain than
(02:39):
we can handle. You've got to actually release this to
a God who is yesterday, today and forever, who is
capable of bottling tears, is capable of being near to
the broken hearted, who can make a difference. So encourage
people to pray and make a difference by giving. You
can go to Community Foundation dot net and this will
(03:00):
all go to trusted local organizations to provide food, shelter,
and healthcare and hope. So we encourage you to go
to Communityfoundation dot net to give and to continue to
keep everyone in your thoughts in prayers. All right, First,
the left fights cutting all fraud and waste. They were
no fan of doge. Then the Big Beautiful Bill which
(03:23):
makes permanent and avoids tax increases and makes permanent the
tax cuts as well as increases funding. Medicaid actually increases
in funding twenty percent over ten years. But that's not
the narrative you hear now, the media doesn't control the
(03:44):
narrative like it used to, and social media can't, you know,
silence all opposition opinion like it used to. But there's
still a lot of shirts and skins and a lot
of narrative games being played because we have narratives and
narrative repeaters and not actual journalism news and news consumers.
But it would appear, and I don't like to play
(04:06):
shirts and skins, but it would appear that the left
first first fights all the cutting and fraud and waist
and now somehow they want to sell the narrative.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
We can't live safely without it.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I mean, at least that seems to be the leftist
delusional blame game that is underway. We even saw him
play it with a tragic flood in Texas. Republican consultant
and analystist Chris Walker is joining us as he does
every Monday. Well, Chris, that's obviously the strategy, right, that's
their response to the big beautiful Bill, the Big beautiful scare.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Yeah, good morning, Michael. I mean, you know, my obviously,
just my heart's so heavy just seeing the news out
of Texas, and just you know, my daughter's fourteen, and
you know, you think about something like that, it's just
it's it's tragic. And then you you know, you watch
the news this weekend, you read the great online, and
you see Democrats going out there trying to playing Trump.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
On this, and it's just, you know, I just I
don't even.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Know where to begin on the on the heartlessness of
some polks being able to take a tragic moment like
this for people who are still unaccounted for, and trying
to score cheap political points on it on cable news.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Just that's sick. The White House called it.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Discussed, and anything I can think is decency.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
No, the White House called it disgusting, and it is.
I went to loop chapter six, which is out of
the abundance of the heart, that mouth speaks, and I'm
trying to think what could be in these people's hearts.
And we had somebody down in the Houston area that
was basically saying it was an you know, all white
I did a montage of every single good Texas deserves it,
and you know it's and it just speaks to the matrix.
(05:43):
It speaks to the darkness in people's minds and hearts.
I will say for the record, independent meteorologists as well
as former National Weather Service officials said the warnings issued
in the run up of the flooding were about as
timely inaccurate as could have been expected with the weather
data available in real time. The fact that it was
(06:04):
in the middle of the night, remote camping area may
not have had signals. I mean, that's always the danger
when these things happen in the middle of the night,
that the warnings are issued, they're just not received. But
the fact that people would shamelessly try to make this
politics or even try to conflate it with the big
beautiful bill which couldn't even impossibly have gone into effect,
it's just ignorant. But I guess there is no hunger
(06:26):
for the truth, to understand any issue wanted at a time,
just immediate shirts and skins, immovable positions. It's the one
thing that's the most dangerous. It still hasn't been addressed.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
You and I are both in Nashville. We've experienced flooding here.
You know, gush ten twelve years ago. You know, we
all saw the flooding in North Carolina and East Tennessee
last fall with the hurricane that was up there, rainfall.
I mean, it's just, you know, you hate to see
these these you know, natural disasters happen, but they have.
And instead of praying like you're saying, and like having
(07:03):
the actual you know, decency of human compassion, we go
and play politics on it. It just I'm not even
sure how to talk about it today without just being
angry about that.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
However, I was just going to.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Say, I said to my anger Yeah, I said, I
said to my wife, it's just so difficult to do
shows on days like this because I'm I'm a parent,
I'm a believer first and foremost, and I'm a husband
that I'm a parent, and you know, and we're starting
to see the pictures of the identified little girls and
that's his did my day is shot because my girls
(07:35):
looked like that, it seems like yesterday. And the notion
that if this happened, that I wasn't there to protect them,
that they were scared, that they they died in such
a horrific way, I just get silent and of course,
here I am being paid to speak, so my heart
goes out.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I just encourage listeners.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
We live in a day of social media where we're
experiencing things more than we should be. I use this
analogy earlier. The average American will lose a pet every
ten years. On social media, somebody's dog or cat has
died every day. It's just too much pain, too much suffering.
It's beyond our human capacity. And I think I feel
the need and maybe it's inappropriate. You know, it's appropriate
(08:16):
for a pulpit on Sunday, but not a national show.
But I would just encourage people. You've got to release this.
You got to release this to a God who can
be there, can bottle tears, can heal hearts, can be
near to the broken hearted, and and then give to
organizations like I just said, which you know I encourage
people to do. To make a difference. You got to exhale,
(08:39):
a work and a letting go, because it's it's overwhelming
if you don't.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
All right, you know, yeah, Well, one of the things
you know I did, I did young Life.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
When I was in high school, and you know, every
every camp leader was always talking about like somebody's gonna
come and ask a questions why did good things happen?
Why did bad things happen to good people? And you
know there's just no answer to that sometimes and in
this case, you know, you're a feeling to God, and
this is certainly a better way to handle it than
what we see from our political kind of at least
our political talking class right now.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, and the seams player community, Yeah, community foundation dot net.
If you want to give that money's going to go
directly to those organizations in that area that's going to
provide food, shelter and care.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
All right, all right, So but as far as.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
The big beautiful bill, you know, watching some of the
weekend talking head shows, it's like nobody is interested in
the truth. Nobody's interested in fact. Certainly nobody's interested on
you know, being Americans. It's just shirts and skins and narratives.
The fact is that medicaid is going to increase by
twenty percent over ten years. We're going to get rid
(09:43):
of the fraud and the waste, and we're going to
focus more on those who deserve it and then get
away from those who have been abusing it. Any chance they're.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Going to hear this, I mean, I think it's important
that that's why we talk about it, right.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
I mean, look, this is going back to pre COVID,
you know, increased the increased fraud that came from COVID.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
We're able bodied people were going on you.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Know, assistance healthcare instead of trying to find jobs. We're
having work requirements.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Is not is not inhumane, It actually is the most
human thing we can do. We talk about faith. I
mean people are made to work. There's dignity and work.
And instead of giving handouts and having a consistently unaccountable,
you know, health system that just continues to drive from
producers and create more more handouts, We're trying to say, look,
(10:36):
you know, you're able bodied, you should be working.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
If you want help. And White Health said if you
if you want healthcare, you should get a job.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
You know, that's that's not inhumane. That is the most
humane and dignifying thing a person can do.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
And so from that perspective, I think we've got a
long way to go.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Obviously, folks like ABC and CBS and NBC and the
New York Times and everybody are have gotten their talking
points and are spewing them with reckless of abandon the
right and the Congress is right.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
It's clear though, this is their strategy for the midterm,
Big beautiful bill uh is going to be to blame
for everything that happens wrong, including flooding.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
That that's just going to be their.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Guest when they when they nominate people who want to
nationalize grocery stores, and when they embrace socialism and flat
out communism, the talking points that they can push will
not negate the fact of what they're offering is a
pathway to destruction and and breadlines, and that's that's you know,
(11:36):
that's something The problem is a lot.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Of the young people don't know that because they haven't lived.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
In a world where that has, you know, been been realized.
Then they don't know the Soviet Union, they don't know,
you know, the Eastern Block. And so from that perspective,
you know, they're paying a lot for a sandwich and
they feel like it's it's it's being unfair.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Well, that's not unfair. Try making a sandwich on your own.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
It'll cost you two thousand dollars. So, you know, like
let's let's remember the beauties of capitalism here and why
we have the freedoms we have.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
It was, it was pretty hard to live through when
they were fighting for waste and fraud and overspending. Now
we're about to witness them try to convince this we
can't live without it. Chris Walker, all things Republican. What
do you make of Elon Musk? You know, now this
third party he's following through. I can't imagine how this
(12:22):
works out personally for him from a business standpoint, but
I think he's very much overreaching. It's not as simple
as I'm going to start a party. But the tragedy
is missing the part of an American party and a
coalition he was he was key in to try to
now sabotage it.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It's just the whole thing's just sad.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Yeah, I mean he is right to be worried about
the debt. That is a big problem.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
He sees it from a businessman's perspective, and and you
know there there are concerns that there should be concerned.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
I mean, Rand Paul talked about it. I mean, you know, look, there.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Are members of the Republican Party that still are concerned
about that.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
I think honestly President Trump is concerned about that.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
The problem is, you've got to figure out a growth strategy.
You can't increase taxes, you can't, you know, kind of
choke choke the economic engine of our economy. And so
that's you know, the sausage making of a big, beautiful
bill aside. You know, this is a net positive for
the country. The Democrats could try to scare it as
much as they want, but ultimately, again work requirements, tax cuts.
We know these are policies that work because they have
(13:26):
in the past. The less government in your life, the
more the more freedom and opportunity you have, the better
everyone's going to be in the long How.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Is it he doesn't see this, Chris, I mean, he's
got to see the role he played in DOGE and
that was the first part, the recommendations and the cutting
because we have a spending problem. Then you got to
secure the tax cuts. Then you've got to get things focused.
The entitlement programs are are in jeopardy. You've got to
start to address that. But then there's a Congress involved,
and these things have to go through Congress and long term,
(13:54):
that's the How does he lose track of where we're
at in the process the role he played that he
jumps to such a it makes me smell a rat
and unless.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
He's just interesting.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I don't know, you.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Know, I think he looks from a from a business
background and think a lot of things.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I think, but this is a business. It's a government.
You can't run a government like a business completely. You
don't have a complete way.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Yeah and answer I's going. I mean, I think Prince
and Trump's a one of the.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Only few I've ever seen the history that comes from
the business world and kind of you know, understand politics better.
I think Elon, you know, government is not the art
of a you know, benevolent dictators telling you how to
like run your business. I mean, I've read Elon Walker's
book on Elon. I mean, Emilon makes decisions on the
Harrison Notice and that's how his companies are run. Government
does not work that way. It takes time and effort
(14:43):
and compromise, and it's frustrating.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Government's incredibly frustrating. But it's also it's the only way
to move stuff ahead.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
And so if it's not moving at the.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Speed of Elon, you know, I understand that. I think cuts,
you know, budget cuts are.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Have been an elusive goal for longer than those exists.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
I've been doing that for twenty plus years.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Body he really.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Cares about the debt, being frustrated.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
It's different if he really cares about the debt. Maybe
Tom z, our listener in Akron, Ohio, has it right.
Go find independent candidates who who prioritize this and support
their candidacies rather than try to start a party that's
just going to divide. Should the Republicans be concerned that
this is going to have a ross Pero effect, I
don't see it.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I think I can have a much bigger Tesla effect.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Yeah, well, I mean Tessa's down as a Tesla stock owner.
I would for him to talk about Tesla and SpaceX.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
I mean, look, we know President Trump showed exactly how
to change policy.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
It's by you know, going within the party structure and
and showing the party leadership where to go. You know, parties,
you know, the same Republican party that elected Georgio E.
Bush twice is now a Magau Republican party. You know,
parties have been flowed based on who the leaders are.
Elon should know that. I mean, goodness, gracious, I mean
(15:56):
he helped in twenty twenty four in in a tremendous way.
You have to see that, you know, in any type
of discussion through the party apparatus is the best way
to get results rather than trying to, you know, create
some outsider group.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
Where just a bunch of consults are going to come in.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
And charge in fifty grand a month to take his
money and really not produce any results. It's it's all
just gonna be about big money and time tuck for him.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
When you can actually accoplish stuff by working with President
Trump and working with members of Congress are already there.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I will sum it up by saying, how could somebody
so brilliant be so politically ignorant and destructive? I have
no words, Chris Walker, all things Republican. We will talk
again next Monday or sooner if conditions Warren, thank you
so much.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Have a great day, sir.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Hey. This is Jeff from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael dev Jorno. Hi.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on great
radio stations across the country like one oh five nine
twelve fifty WHNS in Tampa, Florida, news Radio five seventy
WKBN and Youngstown, Ohio, and news Radio one thousand KTOK

This is your morning show. I'm Michael Jeffrey keeping a
control of the sound. Red's keeping an eye on the content.
We're going to visit with Roy O'Neil coming up in minutes.
We were having a long conversation off the year. Again
they like to have conversations off the air that should
be on the air. But you know, we have Pam
(17:37):
Bondi what was that February of.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
This year.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Saying she had the Black Book on her desk of Epstein.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
So now we've got Trump in office, we're going to
get some answers, right, They're going to look into this
and what does the FBI and the Justice Department conclude?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
He committed suicide by a thousand sheets, he committed and
there is no you know, blackmailing or black book.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
It's enough And I know there's a conspiracy theory for everything,
but it's enough to have you wonder, all right, who
was in that Black Book and who's making a go
away now. But we're gonna have more with Roy O'Neil
coming up about that, as well as the president with
twelve letters for twelve countries. This would be or take
it or leave it tariff offer, and they all hit
the mail today. Jurassic World Rebirth took in one hundred
(18:32):
and forty million dollars.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I was wrong, and I admit it.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
I said I was looking forward to my medical procedure
and dreading the movie. The procedure really hurt bad. The
movie shocked me. I think it was the best yet.
This is not a connoisseur of Jurassic Park movies, but
I always forced me to watch a few of them. Yeah,
by far, I thought it was the best. In fact,
(18:58):
I don't think this will ruin it for anybody. Imagine
Jurassic Park meets Jaws. Does that interest you?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yeah? All right, Well that's it, and it's one hundred
and forty million dollars richer.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
And then we're welcoming two new stations in Buffalo, New
York twelve seventy AM, The Patriot WUSW Buffalo's new Conservative Talk.

Bills and the Great Seven ninety k NST and Tucson,
Arizona joins your morning show family this morning, So welcome everybody.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
When we say your morning show, it's not just a slogan,
we really mean it. It belongs to you. So if
you're listening on an iHeart app, you'll see a microphone.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Click it.

It'll count you down really professionally, three two one, and
then it gives you thirty seconds to make a common
to ask a question. No more rotting on Holden Talk Radio,
and instantly you take your place at the kitchen table.
Stephen Johnson may have just top tom Z and Akron
who topped and boise as our comment of the day, Steve,
(20:05):
just back from a trip in Minnesota, says Trump versus
Elon isn't hard to understand. Trump's business experience comes from construction.
You know what that means, permits, unions, licenses, delays. Elon's
experience is a dot com world with one guy at
the top. It's more, I say, you do world. That's
(20:28):
an interesting take in perspective. I think you nailed it there.
Not bad for an old wrestler, I might add, And
then I think, what's on?
Speaker 4 (20:36):
You know?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
The elephant in the room. It's heavy on all of
our hearts. Just tragedy unfolding in Central Texas all weekend long,
and today marks the third day of search and rescue operations.
Eighty two people now confirmed dead in Central Texas, ten
campers still unaccounted for, one counselor still unaccounted for, forty
(20:59):
on ounted for in the county in Central Texas. President
went ahead and issued a state of emergency and granted
that for Governor Abbott that will free funds.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
There was a lot of.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
There's a lot of bad moments on social media politicizing this,
some even cheering this. That you would be such a
caught in such a political matrix that you would delight
in the death of children and human beings at this
level is just beyond disturbing and sick. Those that pointed
(21:47):
fingers at the big beautiful bill, which is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
It couldn't have had anything to do with it.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Those who got even more specific and cutbacks, whether it
was to the National Weather Serve US were early retirements.
Mostly there is some planned cuts to FEMA, but there's
really kind of a re envisioning and reorganizing of FEMA
(22:13):
that is beginning, FEMA has become pretty much just distribution
of money from the federal government in to locally hit areas.
So you know, to some degree there's a restructuring that
is necessary, and then to another degree, you're just going
to retrace the steps that kind of created it to
begin with. So I'll be interested see how it plays out.
(22:35):
I don't play shirts and skins with issues. I just
call balls and strikes. The notion that this had anything
to do with it is disgusting. The fact that we
don't wait to have facts, that everybody just takes an immediate,
permanent position. This is something that's sicker about us than
(22:56):
the bad things that are happening. And we gave some
of the examples, but only for the purposes of just
exposing how wrong this is. I mean, the two most
disturbing things I saw this one was this woman with
a like a maga red hat with white lettering. Only
(23:17):
it said make abortions great again. I'm like, what's in
your heart that you celebrate the taking of life. We
shared some of the posts people you know cheering good.
Texas deserves it. It just exposes a darkness and divide
(23:41):
that we still haven't addressed in this country. To make
a long story short, independent meteorologists along with former National
Weather Service officials, have all said the issued warnings in
the run up to the flooding was as timely inaccurate
as could to be expected with the weather data that
was available in real time. Did it turn out to
(24:02):
be more rain, yes, but they predicted extreme rain. They
predicted deadly flash flooding. Hard to do it beyond several hours,
but they did. The forecasting was good, The warnings were good.
It's always about getting people to receive the message. That's
(24:25):
the problem. When this is happening in the middle of
the night, and you've got campers who may or may
not have cell service, or may not have that turned
down on their phone, or may not have heard it.
That is always the challenge when these things happen in
the middle of the night. None of the meteorologists that
they talked to felt like the understaffed offices were in
(24:49):
any way a factor in this tragic outcome. Now, well
that stop the narrative. Probably not. This were a sick
country caught in a sick matrix. I warned the death
(25:09):
of journalism coming, and it happened. In twenty sixteen. Donald
Trump winning that election was not the most significant thing
that happened that year, the blatant death of journalism for
all to see, the mocking of him. He can't win,
then he wins, and they have a tantrum on the air.
We went from media bias to death of journalism. Now
(25:31):
we're in decomposition, decay. But as I said then, I
repeat now, this is not a victory for the right.
This is a defeat for the Republic. And now you
have a country that thirsts for division over truth, division
(25:54):
over unity, and there is no tragedy that they can't
find an opposition position too scary. Is there a hero
in all this? If you haven't heard about Petty Officer
(26:14):
third Class Scott Ruskin, twenty six years old, singled out
by the US Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christy nom
for his efforts in saving one hundred and sixty five
victims as the only triage coordinator at the scene of
the floods. Death tolls at eighty two terms of the campground,
(26:35):
ten campers, one councilor still unaccounted for. How much worse
would it have been without him directly saved an astonishing
one hundred and sixty five lives. I choose to focus
on him and not the nonsense in the political world
(26:58):
or on social media. So that's the very latest out.
The President will be heading to Central Texas. He's not
going to probably go until Friday. Doesn't want to get
in the way. This is still very much an active
search and rescue. We pray and search and recovery operation,
and the death toll is said eighty two. All right,
if you're just waking up, these, ah your top five
(27:18):
stories of the day. President Trump is letting it be
known how he feels about Elon Musk and his announcement
of starting a third party.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
Trump slammed the idea on Sunday, saying it's always been
a two party system.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I think it's ridiculous just out a third party.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
We have a tremendous success with the Republican Party. The
Democrats have lost their way, but it's always been a
two party system.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
He ended.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
He felt it only adds confusion and a third parties
had never worked. The attack billionaire announced the America Party
on x Saturday, claiming, when it comes to bankrupting our
country with waste and graft, we live in a one
party system not a democracy. Musk was a vote credit
of Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, which was signed it to
law Friday. I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
NFL's two Texas based teams, the Dallas Cowboys and the
Houston Texans. They're joining the NFL Foundation to help support
the families of victims and survivors after the devastating floods
in central Texas. More from Lisa Carton.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
The National Football League said Sunday they will contribute one
point five million dollars to provide immediate assistance and long
term resources to those most impacted by the catastrophic flooding.
At least seventy people have been killed and dozens are
missing following the July fourth disaster. I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
President Trump says he signed letters to twelve countries and
they're hitting the mail today. It's a take it or
leave at tariff offer.
Speaker 8 (28:44):
Treasury Secretary Scott Besson said tariffs that were paused for
negotiating will take effect on August first for those countries.
Besson said Trump's letters say that if you don't move
things along, then on August first, you will boomerang back
to a higher tariff level. Beston added he expects to
see several big announcements over the next couple of days
about trade deals. I'm Tammy Truhillo.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
It was a scary bride. Spice is now married.
Speaker 9 (29:12):
Melby walked down the aisle this weekend marrying hairstylist Rory McPhee.
The two tie the knot in the crypt of Saint
Paul's Cathedral in London, England. Saturday reception was held at
the Shangri La Hotel inside the Shard, the UK's tallest building.
Melby Shar's daughter angel Iris Murphy Brown with Eddie Murphy,
who she had a relationship with in two thousand and six.
(29:32):
Her distinction as a Member of the Order of the
British Empire, which she received from Prince William in twenty
twenty two, was for her awareness work in domestic violence
and permitted the ceremony at Saint Paul's Cathedral. I'my s Taylor.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Joey Chestnuts once again the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest champion.
He ate seventy and a half dogs in ten minutes
to reclaim his throne after missing last year's contest due
to the controversy over a sponsorship deal with Impossible Foods.
His total came up of his world record seventy six
hot dogs in ten minutes. It's the seventeenth time chestnut.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
He's the goat. He is the greatest. Yes, he is
the greatest.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
I you know, after the contest, I had two Nathan's dogs.
I'll admit frieda.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
And but this second place person was like twenty dogs behind.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Oh yeah, he's got Now I'm just gonna I don't
mean to be gross. People could be in breakfast, but
you don't keep that down right after you eat seventy
He must thanks.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Do an investigative report. Well, yeah you can't. There's no
way you can digest seven.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Yeah, no way. I think what goes down must come
up somewhere. Spinning Wheel one of those deals.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Third day of search and rescue operations underway. That death
toll has now risen to eighty two in Central Texas.
Ten campers and one counselor still unaccounted for, as well
as forty others. We got more on that with Rory
O'Neil and Roya. Early indications are the president will be
headed that way Friday doesn't want to get in the way.
(31:07):
How much of this is search and rescue still versus recovery.
Speaker 10 (31:12):
Yeah, I think today is going to be the swing
day on that. Right now, the governor has said that
they're still twenty four or seven in a search and
rescue operation, but I think after today they'll probably make
an adjustment to that description. It's also being complicated by
the fact that more rain is falling today, perhaps up
to ten inches in some spots. You know, you're hoping
(31:33):
that the water recedes to help it becomes easier to search,
but it looks like there could be more flooding in
that same area today.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
I was thinking of that twenty six year old from
New Jersey who is responsible for saving at least one
hundred and sixty eight lives himself single handedly, And I
was thinking of the rushing water, the terrain, the water,
moccasins and snakes and you know, everything that has been
making it so difficult for any kind of rescue and
(32:03):
now here comes more rain.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
It's just unthinkable.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
I think a lot of people are going to be
shocked by this because they expected, well, Donald Trump won
and you got Pam BONDI now head of the Justice
Department Attorney General, and you got Cash Pattel at the FBI.
Let's get to some serious findings on Jeffrey Epstein, and then.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
It's all a sudden done. No just suicide and no
black book, right, but it's all done.
Speaker 10 (32:30):
The Justice Department and the FBI concluded there's no evidence
that Jeffrey Epstein either blackmailed powerful figures that it kept
a client list, or no evidence that he was murdered.
In this memo that was first obtained over the weekend
by Axios, they're saying that there would be no more prosecutions,
no documents being released in this case. Essentially, they're putting
(32:51):
a period on this, saying that Gilain Maxwell was the
only other person involved in She's serving a twenty year sentence.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
I know there were stories. I remember Pambondi, for example,
in February saying black books right at my desk. We're
going to get to the bottom of this. A lot
of big claims made. This isn't going to play well
within that constituency for sure. And then finally these letters.
Twelve countries are getting letters today. This is the take
it or leave it tariff offer. Yes, and we don't
(33:18):
know which twelve countries. I was watching Scott Bessens, these
Treasury Secretary on CNBC a few minutes ago, saying that
the letters are going out today and we're going to
be hearing a lot more about potential trade deals happening
before the July ninth deadline obviously coming up in a
couple of days. But there's going to be a focus
on all these trade deals all week long.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
But these letters are essentially they're not trade deals.
Speaker 10 (33:43):
They're essentially just President Trump saying, Okay, country X, here's
the deal.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
You're going to pay this kind of tariff. Bang, that's it.
No negotiations.
Speaker 10 (33:52):
He did say on True Social that there would be
an additional ten percent tariff on countries that support bricks nations.
That's a Brazil, Russia, China, India working together for their
own economic advantage, sort of like a Eurozone but with
bricks down there. So it's so there could be additional
tariffs there. Again, no negotiations on that aspect, So we'll
(34:15):
see how these talks go.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Busy, busy news day.
Speaker 3 (34:17):

and welcome to Monday, July the seventh. You about Lord
twenty twenty five. Israel has sent a team of negotiators
to Cutter to talk with Hamas about a gaza ceasefire. Meanwhile,
(01:27):
net Yaho's headed to the White House to visit with
the President about a hamasless gaza.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
In the future.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
President Trump slamming Elon Musk's announcement that he'll be starting
a third party. And it's the third day of search
and rescue after the tragic flooding in central Texas that
took eighty two lives. Now that death toll is at
eighty two, still fording the county unaccounted for ten campers
and one counselor among them. The Community Foundation of the
(01:54):
Texas Hill County has launched the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund.
It's specifically aim at helping those affected in the communities
such as hunt Ingram, Kerrville, Center Point, comfort all along
the Guadalupe River. The relief funds are being directed to
vetted local organizations involved in rescue, relief and recovery efforts,
(02:15):
flood assistance programs for displaced families, and rebuilding efforts in
the area's hardest hit. You're interested in giving, and we
talked earlier about you know, there is a human capacity issue.
You know, we experience so much with twenty four hour
news cycles, with social media. It's just more pain than
(02:39):
we can handle. You've got to actually release this to
a God who is yesterday, today and forever, who is
capable of bottling tears, is capable of being near to
the broken hearted, who can make a difference. So encourage
people to pray and make a difference by giving. You
can go to Community Foundation dot net and this will
(03:00):
all go to trusted local organizations to provide food, shelter,
and healthcare and hope. So we encourage you to go
to Communityfoundation dot net to give and to continue to
keep everyone in your thoughts in prayers. All right, First,
the left fights cutting all fraud and waste. They were
no fan of doge. Then the Big Beautiful Bill which
(03:23):
makes permanent and avoids tax increases and makes permanent the
tax cuts as well as increases funding. Medicaid actually increases
in funding twenty percent over ten years. But that's not
the narrative you hear now, the media doesn't control the
(03:44):
narrative like it used to, and social media can't, you know,
silence all opposition opinion like it used to. But there's
still a lot of shirts and skins and a lot
of narrative games being played because we have narratives and
narrative repeaters and not actual journalism news and news consumers.
But it would appear, and I don't like to play
(04:06):
shirts and skins, but it would appear that the left
first first fights all the cutting and fraud and waist
and now somehow they want to sell the narrative.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
We can't live safely without it.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I mean, at least that seems to be the leftist
delusional blame game that is underway. We even saw him
play it with a tragic flood in Texas. Republican consultant
and analystist Chris Walker is joining us as he does
every Monday. Well, Chris, that's obviously the strategy, right, that's
their response to the big beautiful Bill, the Big beautiful scare.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Yeah, good morning, Michael. I mean, you know, my obviously,
just my heart's so heavy just seeing the news out
of Texas, and just you know, my daughter's fourteen, and
you know, you think about something like that, it's just
it's it's tragic. And then you you know, you watch
the news this weekend, you read the great online, and
you see Democrats going out there trying to playing Trump.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
On this, and it's just, you know, I just I
don't even.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Know where to begin on the on the heartlessness of
some polks being able to take a tragic moment like
this for people who are still unaccounted for, and trying
to score cheap political points on it on cable news.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Just that's sick. The White House called it.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Discussed, and anything I can think is decency.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
No, the White House called it disgusting, and it is.
I went to loop chapter six, which is out of
the abundance of the heart, that mouth speaks, and I'm
trying to think what could be in these people's hearts.
And we had somebody down in the Houston area that
was basically saying it was an you know, all white
I did a montage of every single good Texas deserves it,
and you know it's and it just speaks to the matrix.
(05:43):
It speaks to the darkness in people's minds and hearts.
I will say for the record, independent meteorologists as well
as former National Weather Service officials said the warnings issued
in the run up of the flooding were about as
timely inaccurate as could have been expected with the weather
data available in real time. The fact that it was
(06:04):
in the middle of the night, remote camping area may
not have had signals. I mean, that's always the danger
when these things happen in the middle of the night,
that the warnings are issued, they're just not received. But
the fact that people would shamelessly try to make this
politics or even try to conflate it with the big
beautiful bill which couldn't even impossibly have gone into effect,
it's just ignorant. But I guess there is no hunger
(06:26):
for the truth, to understand any issue wanted at a time,
just immediate shirts and skins, immovable positions. It's the one
thing that's the most dangerous. It still hasn't been addressed.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
You and I are both in Nashville. We've experienced flooding here.
You know, gush ten twelve years ago. You know, we
all saw the flooding in North Carolina and East Tennessee
last fall with the hurricane that was up there, rainfall.
I mean, it's just, you know, you hate to see
these these you know, natural disasters happen, but they have.
And instead of praying like you're saying, and like having
(07:03):
the actual you know, decency of human compassion, we go
and play politics on it. It just I'm not even
sure how to talk about it today without just being
angry about that.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
However, I was just going to.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Say, I said to my anger Yeah, I said, I
said to my wife, it's just so difficult to do
shows on days like this because I'm I'm a parent,
I'm a believer first and foremost, and I'm a husband
that I'm a parent, and you know, and we're starting
to see the pictures of the identified little girls and
that's his did my day is shot because my girls
(07:35):
looked like that, it seems like yesterday. And the notion
that if this happened, that I wasn't there to protect them,
that they were scared, that they they died in such
a horrific way, I just get silent and of course,
here I am being paid to speak, so my heart
goes out.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I just encourage listeners.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
We live in a day of social media where we're
experiencing things more than we should be. I use this
analogy earlier. The average American will lose a pet every
ten years. On social media, somebody's dog or cat has
died every day. It's just too much pain, too much suffering.
It's beyond our human capacity. And I think I feel
the need and maybe it's inappropriate. You know, it's appropriate
(08:16):
for a pulpit on Sunday, but not a national show.
But I would just encourage people. You've got to release this.
You got to release this to a God who can
be there, can bottle tears, can heal hearts, can be
near to the broken hearted, and and then give to
organizations like I just said, which you know I encourage
people to do. To make a difference. You got to exhale,
(08:39):
a work and a letting go, because it's it's overwhelming
if you don't.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
All right, you know, yeah, Well, one of the things
you know I did, I did young Life.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
When I was in high school, and you know, every
every camp leader was always talking about like somebody's gonna
come and ask a questions why did good things happen?
Why did bad things happen to good people? And you
know there's just no answer to that sometimes and in
this case, you know, you're a feeling to God, and
this is certainly a better way to handle it than
what we see from our political kind of at least
our political talking class right now.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, and the seams player community, Yeah, community foundation dot net.
If you want to give that money's going to go
directly to those organizations in that area that's going to
provide food, shelter and care.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
All right, all right, So but as far as.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
The big beautiful bill, you know, watching some of the
weekend talking head shows, it's like nobody is interested in
the truth. Nobody's interested in fact. Certainly nobody's interested on
you know, being Americans. It's just shirts and skins and narratives.
The fact is that medicaid is going to increase by
twenty percent over ten years. We're going to get rid
(09:43):
of the fraud and the waste, and we're going to
focus more on those who deserve it and then get
away from those who have been abusing it. Any chance they're.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Going to hear this, I mean, I think it's important
that that's why we talk about it, right.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
I mean, look, this is going back to pre COVID,
you know, increased the increased fraud that came from COVID.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
We're able bodied people were going on you.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Know, assistance healthcare instead of trying to find jobs. We're
having work requirements.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Is not is not inhumane, It actually is the most
human thing we can do. We talk about faith. I
mean people are made to work. There's dignity and work.
And instead of giving handouts and having a consistently unaccountable,
you know, health system that just continues to drive from
producers and create more more handouts, We're trying to say, look,
(10:36):
you know, you're able bodied, you should be working.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
If you want help. And White Health said if you
if you want healthcare, you should get a job.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
You know, that's that's not inhumane. That is the most
humane and dignifying thing a person can do.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
And so from that perspective, I think we've got a
long way to go.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Obviously, folks like ABC and CBS and NBC and the
New York Times and everybody are have gotten their talking
points and are spewing them with reckless of abandon the
right and the Congress is right.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
It's clear though, this is their strategy for the midterm,
Big beautiful bill uh is going to be to blame
for everything that happens wrong, including flooding.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
That that's just going to be their.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Guest when they when they nominate people who want to
nationalize grocery stores, and when they embrace socialism and flat
out communism, the talking points that they can push will
not negate the fact of what they're offering is a
pathway to destruction and and breadlines, and that's that's you know,
(11:36):
that's something The problem is a lot.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Of the young people don't know that because they haven't lived.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
In a world where that has, you know, been been realized.
Then they don't know the Soviet Union, they don't know,
you know, the Eastern Block. And so from that perspective,
you know, they're paying a lot for a sandwich and
they feel like it's it's it's being unfair.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Well, that's not unfair. Try making a sandwich on your own.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
It'll cost you two thousand dollars. So, you know, like
let's let's remember the beauties of capitalism here and why
we have the freedoms we have.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
It was, it was pretty hard to live through when
they were fighting for waste and fraud and overspending. Now
we're about to witness them try to convince this we
can't live without it. Chris Walker, all things Republican. What
do you make of Elon Musk? You know, now this
third party he's following through. I can't imagine how this
(12:22):
works out personally for him from a business standpoint, but
I think he's very much overreaching. It's not as simple
as I'm going to start a party. But the tragedy
is missing the part of an American party and a
coalition he was he was key in to try to
now sabotage it.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It's just the whole thing's just sad.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Yeah, I mean he is right to be worried about
the debt. That is a big problem.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
He sees it from a businessman's perspective, and and you
know there there are concerns that there should be concerned.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
I mean, Rand Paul talked about it. I mean, you know, look, there.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Are members of the Republican Party that still are concerned
about that.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
I think honestly President Trump is concerned about that.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
The problem is, you've got to figure out a growth strategy.
You can't increase taxes, you can't, you know, kind of
choke choke the economic engine of our economy. And so
that's you know, the sausage making of a big, beautiful
bill aside. You know, this is a net positive for
the country. The Democrats could try to scare it as
much as they want, but ultimately, again work requirements, tax cuts.
We know these are policies that work because they have
(13:26):
in the past. The less government in your life, the
more the more freedom and opportunity you have, the better
everyone's going to be in the long How.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Is it he doesn't see this, Chris, I mean, he's
got to see the role he played in DOGE and
that was the first part, the recommendations and the cutting
because we have a spending problem. Then you got to
secure the tax cuts. Then you've got to get things focused.
The entitlement programs are are in jeopardy. You've got to
start to address that. But then there's a Congress involved,
and these things have to go through Congress and long term,
(13:54):
that's the How does he lose track of where we're
at in the process the role he played that he
jumps to such a it makes me smell a rat
and unless.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
He's just interesting.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I don't know, you.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Know, I think he looks from a from a business
background and think a lot of things.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I think, but this is a business. It's a government.
You can't run a government like a business completely. You
don't have a complete way.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Yeah and answer I's going. I mean, I think Prince
and Trump's a one of the.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Only few I've ever seen the history that comes from
the business world and kind of you know, understand politics better.
I think Elon, you know, government is not the art
of a you know, benevolent dictators telling you how to
like run your business. I mean, I've read Elon Walker's
book on Elon. I mean, Emilon makes decisions on the
Harrison Notice and that's how his companies are run. Government
does not work that way. It takes time and effort
(14:43):
and compromise, and it's frustrating.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Government's incredibly frustrating. But it's also it's the only way
to move stuff ahead.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
And so if it's not moving at the.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Speed of Elon, you know, I understand that. I think cuts,
you know, budget cuts are.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Have been an elusive goal for longer than those exists.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
I've been doing that for twenty plus years.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Body he really.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Cares about the debt, being frustrated.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
It's different if he really cares about the debt. Maybe
Tom z, our listener in Akron, Ohio, has it right.
Go find independent candidates who who prioritize this and support
their candidacies rather than try to start a party that's
just going to divide. Should the Republicans be concerned that
this is going to have a ross Pero effect, I
don't see it.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I think I can have a much bigger Tesla effect.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Yeah, well, I mean Tessa's down as a Tesla stock owner.
I would for him to talk about Tesla and SpaceX.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
I mean, look, we know President Trump showed exactly how
to change policy.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
It's by you know, going within the party structure and
and showing the party leadership where to go. You know, parties,
you know, the same Republican party that elected Georgio E.
Bush twice is now a Magau Republican party. You know,
parties have been flowed based on who the leaders are.
Elon should know that. I mean, goodness, gracious, I mean
(15:56):
he helped in twenty twenty four in in a tremendous way.
You have to see that, you know, in any type
of discussion through the party apparatus is the best way
to get results rather than trying to, you know, create
some outsider group.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
Where just a bunch of consults are going to come in.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
And charge in fifty grand a month to take his
money and really not produce any results. It's it's all
just gonna be about big money and time tuck for him.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
When you can actually accoplish stuff by working with President
Trump and working with members of Congress are already there.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I will sum it up by saying, how could somebody
so brilliant be so politically ignorant and destructive? I have
no words, Chris Walker, all things Republican. We will talk
again next Monday or sooner if conditions Warren, thank you
so much.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Have a great day, sir.
Speaker 5 (16:42):

We're going to visit with Roy O'Neil coming up in minutes.
We were having a long conversation off the year. Again
they like to have conversations off the air that should
be on the air. But you know, we have Pam
(17:37):
Bondi what was that February of.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
This year.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Saying she had the Black Book on her desk of Epstein.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
So now we've got Trump in office, we're going to
get some answers, right, They're going to look into this
and what does the FBI and the Justice Department conclude?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
He committed suicide by a thousand sheets, he committed and
there is no you know, blackmailing or black book.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
It's enough And I know there's a conspiracy theory for everything,
but it's enough to have you wonder, all right, who
was in that Black Book and who's making a go
away now. But we're gonna have more with Roy O'Neil
coming up about that, as well as the president with
twelve letters for twelve countries. This would be or take
it or leave it tariff offer, and they all hit
the mail today. Jurassic World Rebirth took in one hundred
(18:32):
and forty million dollars.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I was wrong, and I admit it.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
I said I was looking forward to my medical procedure
and dreading the movie. The procedure really hurt bad. The
movie shocked me. I think it was the best yet.
This is not a connoisseur of Jurassic Park movies, but
I always forced me to watch a few of them. Yeah,
by far, I thought it was the best. In fact,
(18:58):
I don't think this will ruin it for anybody. Imagine
Jurassic Park meets Jaws. Does that interest you?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yeah? All right, Well that's it, and it's one hundred
and forty million dollars richer.

Stephen Johnson may have just top tom Z and Akron
who topped and boise as our comment of the day, Steve,
(20:05):
just back from a trip in Minnesota, says Trump versus
Elon isn't hard to understand. Trump's business experience comes from construction.
You know what that means, permits, unions, licenses, delays. Elon's
experience is a dot com world with one guy at
the top. It's more, I say, you do world. That's
(20:28):
an interesting take in perspective. I think you nailed it there.
Not bad for an old wrestler, I might add, And
then I think, what's on?
Speaker 4 (20:36):
You know?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
The elephant in the room. It's heavy on all of
our hearts. Just tragedy unfolding in Central Texas all weekend long,
and today marks the third day of search and rescue operations.
Eighty two people now confirmed dead in Central Texas, ten
campers still unaccounted for, one counselor still unaccounted for, forty
(20:59):
on ounted for in the county in Central Texas. President
went ahead and issued a state of emergency and granted
that for Governor Abbott that will free funds.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
There was a lot of.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
There's a lot of bad moments on social media politicizing this,
some even cheering this. That you would be such a
caught in such a political matrix that you would delight
in the death of children and human beings at this
level is just beyond disturbing and sick. Those that pointed
(21:47):
fingers at the big beautiful bill, which is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
It couldn't have had anything to do with it.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Those who got even more specific and cutbacks, whether it
was to the National Weather Serve US were early retirements.
Mostly there is some planned cuts to FEMA, but there's
really kind of a re envisioning and reorganizing of FEMA
(22:13):
that is beginning, FEMA has become pretty much just distribution
of money from the federal government in to locally hit areas.
So you know, to some degree there's a restructuring that
is necessary, and then to another degree, you're just going
to retrace the steps that kind of created it to
begin with. So I'll be interested see how it plays out.
(22:35):
I don't play shirts and skins with issues. I just
call balls and strikes. The notion that this had anything
to do with it is disgusting. The fact that we
don't wait to have facts, that everybody just takes an immediate,
permanent position. This is something that's sicker about us than
(22:56):
the bad things that are happening. And we gave some
of the examples, but only for the purposes of just
exposing how wrong this is. I mean, the two most
disturbing things I saw this one was this woman with
a like a maga red hat with white lettering. Only
(23:17):
it said make abortions great again. I'm like, what's in
your heart that you celebrate the taking of life. We
shared some of the posts people you know cheering good.
Texas deserves it. It just exposes a darkness and divide
(23:41):
that we still haven't addressed in this country. To make
a long story short, independent meteorologists along with former National
Weather Service officials, have all said the issued warnings in
the run up to the flooding was as timely inaccurate
as could to be expected with the weather data that
was available in real time. Did it turn out to
(24:02):
be more rain, yes, but they predicted extreme rain. They
predicted deadly flash flooding. Hard to do it beyond several hours,
but they did. The forecasting was good, The warnings were good.
It's always about getting people to receive the message. That's
(24:25):
the problem. When this is happening in the middle of
the night, and you've got campers who may or may
not have cell service, or may not have that turned
down on their phone, or may not have heard it.
That is always the challenge when these things happen in
the middle of the night. None of the meteorologists that
they talked to felt like the understaffed offices were in
(24:49):
any way a factor in this tragic outcome. Now, well
that stop the narrative. Probably not. This were a sick
country caught in a sick matrix. I warned the death
(25:09):
of journalism coming, and it happened. In twenty sixteen. Donald
Trump winning that election was not the most significant thing
that happened that year, the blatant death of journalism for
all to see, the mocking of him. He can't win,
then he wins, and they have a tantrum on the air.
We went from media bias to death of journalism. Now
(25:31):
we're in decomposition, decay. But as I said then, I
repeat now, this is not a victory for the right.
This is a defeat for the Republic. And now you
have a country that thirsts for division over truth, division
(25:54):
over unity, and there is no tragedy that they can't
find an opposition position too scary. Is there a hero
in all this? If you haven't heard about Petty Officer
(26:14):
third Class Scott Ruskin, twenty six years old, singled out
by the US Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christy nom
for his efforts in saving one hundred and sixty five
victims as the only triage coordinator at the scene of
the floods. Death tolls at eighty two terms of the campground,
(26:35):
ten campers, one councilor still unaccounted for. How much worse
would it have been without him directly saved an astonishing
one hundred and sixty five lives. I choose to focus
on him and not the nonsense in the political world
(26:58):
or on social media. So that's the very latest out.
The President will be heading to Central Texas. He's not
going to probably go until Friday. Doesn't want to get
in the way. This is still very much an active
search and rescue. We pray and search and recovery operation,
and the death toll is said eighty two. All right,
if you're just waking up, these, ah your top five
(27:18):
stories of the day. President Trump is letting it be
known how he feels about Elon Musk and his announcement
of starting a third party.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
Trump slammed the idea on Sunday, saying it's always been
a two party system.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I think it's ridiculous just out a third party.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
We have a tremendous success with the Republican Party. The
Democrats have lost their way, but it's always been a
two party system.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
He ended.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
He felt it only adds confusion and a third parties
had never worked. The attack billionaire announced the America Party
on x Saturday, claiming, when it comes to bankrupting our
country with waste and graft, we live in a one
party system not a democracy. Musk was a vote credit
of Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, which was signed it to
law Friday. I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
NFL's two Texas based teams, the Dallas Cowboys and the
Houston Texans. They're joining the NFL Foundation to help support
the families of victims and survivors after the devastating floods
in central Texas. More from Lisa Carton.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
The National Football League said Sunday they will contribute one
point five million dollars to provide immediate assistance and long
term resources to those most impacted by the catastrophic flooding.
At least seventy people have been killed and dozens are
missing following the July fourth disaster. I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
President Trump says he signed letters to twelve countries and
they're hitting the mail today. It's a take it or
leave at tariff offer.
Speaker 8 (28:44):
Treasury Secretary Scott Besson said tariffs that were paused for
negotiating will take effect on August first for those countries.
Besson said Trump's letters say that if you don't move
things along, then on August first, you will boomerang back
to a higher tariff level. Beston added he expects to
see several big announcements over the next couple of days
about trade deals. I'm Tammy Truhillo.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
It was a scary bride. Spice is now married.
Speaker 9 (29:12):
Melby walked down the aisle this weekend marrying hairstylist Rory McPhee.
The two tie the knot in the crypt of Saint
Paul's Cathedral in London, England. Saturday reception was held at
the Shangri La Hotel inside the Shard, the UK's tallest building.
Melby Shar's daughter angel Iris Murphy Brown with Eddie Murphy,
who she had a relationship with in two thousand and six.
(29:32):
Her distinction as a Member of the Order of the
British Empire, which she received from Prince William in twenty
twenty two, was for her awareness work in domestic violence
and permitted the ceremony at Saint Paul's Cathedral. I'my s Taylor.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Joey Chestnuts once again the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest champion.
He ate seventy and a half dogs in ten minutes
to reclaim his throne after missing last year's contest due
to the controversy over a sponsorship deal with Impossible Foods.
His total came up of his world record seventy six
hot dogs in ten minutes. It's the seventeenth time chestnut.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
He's the goat. He is the greatest. Yes, he is
the greatest.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
I you know, after the contest, I had two Nathan's dogs.
I'll admit frieda.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
And but this second place person was like twenty dogs behind.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Oh yeah, he's got Now I'm just gonna I don't
mean to be gross. People could be in breakfast, but
you don't keep that down right after you eat seventy
He must thanks.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Do an investigative report. Well, yeah you can't. There's no
way you can digest seven.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Yeah, no way. I think what goes down must come
up somewhere. Spinning Wheel one of those deals.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Third day of search and rescue operations underway. That death
toll has now risen to eighty two in Central Texas.
Ten campers and one counselor still unaccounted for, as well
as forty others. We got more on that with Rory
O'Neil and Roya. Early indications are the president will be
headed that way Friday doesn't want to get in the way.
(31:07):
How much of this is search and rescue still versus recovery.
Speaker 10 (31:12):
Yeah, I think today is going to be the swing
day on that. Right now, the governor has said that
they're still twenty four or seven in a search and
rescue operation, but I think after today they'll probably make
an adjustment to that description. It's also being complicated by
the fact that more rain is falling today, perhaps up
to ten inches in some spots. You know, you're hoping
(31:33):
that the water recedes to help it becomes easier to search,
but it looks like there could be more flooding in
that same area today.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
I was thinking of that twenty six year old from
New Jersey who is responsible for saving at least one
hundred and sixty eight lives himself single handedly, And I
was thinking of the rushing water, the terrain, the water,
moccasins and snakes and you know, everything that has been
making it so difficult for any kind of rescue and
(32:03):
now here comes more rain.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
It's just unthinkable.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
I think a lot of people are going to be
shocked by this because they expected, well, Donald Trump won
and you got Pam BONDI now head of the Justice
Department Attorney General, and you got Cash Pattel at the FBI.
Let's get to some serious findings on Jeffrey Epstein, and then.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
It's all a sudden done. No just suicide and no
black book, right, but it's all done.
Speaker 10 (32:30):
The Justice Department and the FBI concluded there's no evidence
that Jeffrey Epstein either blackmailed powerful figures that it kept
a client list, or no evidence that he was murdered.
In this memo that was first obtained over the weekend
by Axios, they're saying that there would be no more prosecutions,
no documents being released in this case. Essentially, they're putting
(32:51):
a period on this, saying that Gilain Maxwell was the
only other person involved in She's serving a twenty year sentence.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
I know there were stories. I remember Pambondi, for example,
in February saying black books right at my desk. We're
going to get to the bottom of this. A lot
of big claims made. This isn't going to play well
within that constituency for sure. And then finally these letters.
Twelve countries are getting letters today. This is the take
it or leave it tariff offer. Yes, and we don't
(33:18):
know which twelve countries. I was watching Scott Bessens, these
Treasury Secretary on CNBC a few minutes ago, saying that
the letters are going out today and we're going to
be hearing a lot more about potential trade deals happening
before the July ninth deadline obviously coming up in a
couple of days. But there's going to be a focus
on all these trade deals all week long.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
But these letters are essentially they're not trade deals.
Speaker 10 (33:43):
They're essentially just President Trump saying, Okay, country X, here's
the deal.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
You're going to pay this kind of tariff. Bang, that's it.
No negotiations.
Speaker 10 (33:52):
He did say on True Social that there would be
an additional ten percent tariff on countries that support bricks nations.
That's a Brazil, Russia, China, India working together for their
own economic advantage, sort of like a Eurozone but with
bricks down there. So it's so there could be additional
tariffs there. Again, no negotiations on that aspect, So we'll
(34:15):
see how these talks go.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Busy, busy news day.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Lucky to have your roy O'Neil are your morning show
National corresponding, great work as always.
