we're so grateful you came for the podcast. Enjoy two
(00:21):
three starting your morning off right. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in the stage.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
This is your morning show with Michael Bill Trump.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Well from the top of my cup of coffee up
very sincere, Good morning to all.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
It is three oh.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Five on the West Coast, five oh five Central, six
oh six on the East coast. To you my early morning,
Platinum Card listeners, Good morning, Welcome to Tuesday, July the ninth,
fl Lord twenty twenty four on the air and on
your radio. iHeart app this is your morning show. I'm
Michael del Jorna. What a busy day yesterday. The drip,
drip drip continued in Washington. First, we had the chaos
(01:06):
at the White House news conference. It's very.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Wait, hold on, wait, wait, wait, wait a second. Eight
wait times, or at least once in regards, wait, hold
on a second, you should be a.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
This no business like show business like no, get rid
of it.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Then the White House not a minute but a few
hours later released a formal statement. We now know that
the Parkinson specialist is doctor Kevin Canard. He visited the
White House eight times in eight months, but only as
a part of the President's annual fitness like show.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Annual physical eight times in eight months.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
Now hit it.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Hard or not. Here comes the the NATO summit.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
We also had a radio host in Philadelphia fired for
using the questions that the Biden campaign gave her.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Ahead of time.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
By the way, that's not Chapter two premature, by the way,
that is the very interview where the president thought he
was the first African American female vice president.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
I'm proud, I said, the first vice president, the first
black woman with the black president, the first black woman
in the Supreme Court.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Just so much.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, and that's when the questions provided by the Biden Now,
there's no like show like, Oh you didn't know I
was a singer dancer as well?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Did you? Aaron Rail? That's just some of the headlines.
It's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
It's beautiful. Well, that's what we're waking up to this morning.
We'll have all the tough stories this morning throughout the morning. Also,
Beryl is now weakened into a tropical depression. But here
comes lots of rain for Oklahoma, Arkansas and southern Missouri
and the record heat wave for everyone else is left
and the president is defiant to say the least, and
(03:20):
all the calls for him to step aside, and all
the revelations of medical issues Parkinson's dementia, he's refusing to leave.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
We'll have more on that coming up.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
All right, Aaron, Speaking of not refusing to leave, we're
traveling at record levels, So why is that not equaling
profits for the airlines?
Speaker 8 (03:37):
So a lot of it has to do with the
fact that they have a lot of overhead. We know
this from airline. There's really owners regulation, all that other stuff.
But the fact that we're seeing so much demand and
in some cases truly record historically, but higher payrolls, other
expenses they're eating into the profits. And this is in
spite of take a price is coming down for us.
(04:00):
We know for sure, is that nearly three million people
passed through US checkpoints on June twenty third alone. This
is going to the TSA. We're going to get clear
numbers over this past long holiday weekend. But airs have
been coming down because airlines have been expanding their schedules.
We know that US Europe capacity it's up eight percent.
And just to give you some context, flights are cheaper
(04:20):
if you're going to Europe, and this also applies to
some destinations in the US. But if you're going to
Europe this summer, it's going to cost you around eight
hundred and ninety two bucks. That's compared with one thousand
dollars last year. Airfare was down nearly six percent across
the board in May, but some of these carriers are
having much weaker sales in spite of these increased flights,
and it's because simple supply and demand. You know, they're
(04:41):
cutting their second quarter revenue and profits and they're going
to the third quarter. The second half of the year
is flow for airlines traditionally. They'll be interesting to see
how this tail end of summer, which is never the
highest peak travel season Labor Day gets a bump, but
after that it goes down.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
All right, If we were in tenth grade together, which
was possible because I'd have been twenty years older but
still in tenth grade. But if we were in tenth
grade together, it would be I looking over your paper,
not the other way around. But I'm thinking to myself
out loud. We have the airlines with fewer flights right
because they don't have as many pilots, so they've been
(05:18):
using less planes. That could be it fuel cost, that
could be it. What are some of the I mean,
these are the kind of factors I would think that
would have travel up. And they're charging less too, which
is what's got people traveling all That would probably pretty
rationally mean less profit for sure.
Speaker 8 (05:38):
Also there's delays these more fuel efficient aircraft, those air
buses from Boeing. Yeah, those are going to take a minute.
There's also this huge engine recall from Pratt and Whitney,
so that's grounded a lot of flights as well. And
they're increasing capacity. So again simple supply and demand, but
some carriers have admitted that these weaker sales are because
(05:58):
of increased lights. American airlines they're cutting their profits coming
up next quarter, and then they're also making changes like
if you look at some of the money losing carriers
Jet Blue, Frontier. Jet Blue is cutting unprofitable flights. I
think that's a fine thing. And they're also expanding their
Mint business Class because if you look at the winners here,
Delta is a big winner and they're the best of
(06:21):
the bunch, largely because they have more expensive premium seats,
so they're trying to get rid of more coach sheets
and have more business class seats. If you look at
Frontier and Spirit Airlines, they're completely doing away with these,
not completely, but decreasing the add ons. People hate that
and what they're doing both those budget carriers are starting
(06:41):
offering bundled fares. This includes your seat assignment, other add ons,
basically everything that was normal about that.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Basically, just be like Southwest Airlines if you want to
be successful. I don't know why everybody and just roll
model them, but go ahead. I mean they're the ones
that don't have any of those ad ins. Everything it
runs like a clock. Everybody's smiling and happy. I see,
I just fly Southwest Airlines. I don't have to deal
with any of this drama. What is Mint business Class?
You get a little mint on your tray or.
Speaker 8 (07:08):
It's just what they call their business class. So it's
lovely like all business classes. But they what's interesting is that,
like you said, with Southwest, that is a winning formula.
People appreciate that. And now the other one at the frontier,
the spirits, they're seeing that and they're saying, okay. So
you either have one of two options. You either go
Delta style and serve a premium customer, or you stop
(07:30):
with the nonsense and you just give people the ticket price.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
People really.
Speaker 8 (07:38):
Flying with you, Even if the price is a little
bit better, the experience is going to be so so terrible,
And I don't want to feel like cattle, and will
go with Southwest.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I never thought we would talk about commercial airlines in
large overhead in the same sentence, but different meaning that's
the latest done, how much we're traveling.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
And how the airlines are making a lot of process. Well,
there's never enough overhead, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
When Eerin comes back back next hour, we're gonna talk
a little about a new survey that's out about the
most and least stressed cities in America. Well, I'm feeling
pretty laid back today. We'll see how Nashville did and
your city. When Aaron returns in an hour. Thanks for
joining us, Aaron, all right, God bless all right. Welcome
to Tuesday, the ninth of July. Obviously, everything centers around
(08:21):
the presidency. I literally when I was putting together our
top five stories that we will be covering throughout the morning,
it's really hard to get away from this race. I
remember a long time ago as a program director and
a talk show host in my local city and as
a friend of Rush Limbaugh Russia, and I had a
conversation one time about Bill Clinton because he had becomes
(08:45):
so much a part of the news cycle that if
you weren't careful every day, all you would do is
talk about Bill Clinton. And then I remember living in
Nashville year decades later and Barack Obama came along. It
was the same thing with Barack Obama, and if you
were not careful, everything out of your mouth would be
(09:08):
Barack Obama. So what I did was I started doing
Barack Obama updates. That way, you could get all the
Barack Obama stories done in about two three minutes, and
then we could go on and have another life too.
And it's starting to feel that way, and it's the pressure.
It's an inside the belt weigh expression, but the drip,
drip drip, A dishonest media that up until a week
(09:30):
ago has been covering and lying to you and hiding
from you the truth about the president is now in
a full court press to push him out to the
point where you could we could have a brainstorming this morning.
All right, every day there's going to be a barrage
like yesterday until this they break his defiance, and it's
(09:52):
all the people that's been covering for him. Washington Times
is the first to sneak and release the Parkinson specialist
than the same media that put up with it, with
the exception of a Fox reporter. Every day at the
White House press corps starts pressing and pressing, and then
you get chaos.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Then you get a.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Statement from the White House, and now that spills over
into today because who's buying an eight times in eight
months annual physical. If the President has no signs of
neurological or Parkinson's issues, why is the specials coming every month?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Why don't you just give.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Us the drip drip drip, I mean, everything just drips
into the next drip, into the next drip, into the
next drip. The President remains defiant, but that drip's going
to continue. It's going to force him to give up. Now,
the President, with a little interesting shift yesterday, says something,
want to take me on. This was after you get
a meltdown on morning, Joe, don't Oh, it was even
(10:56):
worse than that.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Perfect. But then he's like, basic, come on, take me
out at the convention. Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Is that where we're headed? A contentious open convention? Now
the statement itself isn't very logical. Only Joe Biden can
give up his delegates for anybody to take him on,
and he's not willing to. I don't know if he
understands what he's saying. So where is this all headed?
(11:26):
I can tell you this by law, unless he dies,
those delegates are his God forbid anything happens to him.
Please Lord, don't let it come to that. But clearly
there's something wrong with the president. Nobody is willing to
(11:46):
cover up anymore. Everybody's on the attack. I think it's
not going to stop until he gives up. But at
the moment he remains defy him, and then everything else
we do are just interesting twists. But that's the essence
of the stalemate we're in. How we got here is fascinating.
How we get out of this is fascinating. One thing's
(12:08):
for sure. We're all in this together. This is your
morning show with Michael del Trono. I'd like to do
the top five stories of the day with a little
Western theme if I could.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Well, As you know, Sheriff Media formed himself a little
posse axy Osh, Washington Post, New York Times. They're all
circling to Biden, trying to get him come out of height.
Want to chase him down. This old scram riffing is defiant,
(12:45):
not budget. You won't leave. Gotta be some give.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Brian Schuck's here with more in a less Western style.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
To the White House.
Speaker 9 (12:56):
Twenty twenty four tresident fight says he's not going anywhere.
Biden called into MSNBC Monday morning to try and make
his case for staying in the twenty twenty four race
after questions were raised about his shaky debate performance.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
That was wrong that night.
Speaker 7 (13:14):
It's not like it had come to me.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
That's one night and goes away.
Speaker 9 (13:17):
That's friving out.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
I've been testing myself since then.
Speaker 9 (13:20):
More Democrats have reportedly asked him to drop out due
to concerns about his mental fitness. The President claimed average
Democrats want him to stay, and he's not going to
listen to elites calling for him to exit. He again
insisted his debate performance was due to an illness in Washington.
I'm Brian, shook a.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Note to shelf and the Jeffrey Beck in the studio.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Go ahead, next time we do the Western music, Let's
make sure it doesn't share a fader with the newscamp.
I'll me while the White House is facing a barrage
of questions about the mental fitness of the president. Monday's
press briefing became very contentious following a report that a
Parkinson's disease expert had visited the hospital. I visited the
(14:04):
White House rather eight times in an eight month period.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I don't need no.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Press Secretary Coreine Jean Pierre would not confirm why the
expert met at the White House with the physician, citing
privacy issues. This comes as President Biden's facing scrutiny over
his age and ability to serve his next term as
president if re elected in November.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
So this is how it sounded that the White House.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
A second, No more like hours.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
But after waiting late Monday night, the White House put
out a memo from presidential physician doctor Kevin O'Connor, who
said the visits from the neurological specialists that we now
know as Kevin Cannard were part of Biden's annual physicals
and that all results have been made public to that end.
O'Connor said there were no findings which were consistent with
(15:07):
any type of neurological disorders such as stroke, multiple sclerosis,
or Parkinson's. Why do you have a Parkinson's neurologist specialist
visiting the White House eight times in eight months if
it's just a part of an annual physical just doesn't
make sense. Meanwhile, Philadelphia radio host is parting ways with
(15:28):
the station she worked after she revealed she used the
questions given to her by the Biden campaign in the interview.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Lisa Taylor has that story.
Speaker 10 (15:38):
Andrea Laffel Sanders mutually left the station after she said
on CNN that she was given a list of eight
questions from the Biden campaign and she approved four of them.
The interview came after Biden's shaky debate performance against former
President Trump. A Biden administration official told CBS News they
do not condition interviews on acceptance of these questions, and
any host is free to ask any question they please.
(16:01):
I'misa Taylor.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Look at the feeling that a month ago that would
have been fine, but now in the media canceled Biden
culture not so fine. And by the way, using the
questions given, he still thought he was a female, black
vice president.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
I'm proud, I said the first vice president, first black woman,
sir with a black president.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Proud.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Yeah, I thinks didn't go well even providing the questions. Hi,
It's Michael.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Your morning show airs live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern in great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happierre here now.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Enjoyed the podcast, Good Morning Rise and shide Erni burd
Gets the worm, lazy squirrel, missus, the nut, all those
things you need to hear waking up all right, thirty
six minutes after the hour if you're just waking up.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
The White House has released a letter from President Biden's doctor.
I don't think it's solved anything.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
So what happened to is yesterday the news breaks a
Parkinson specialist, now identified Kevin Canard, visited the White House
and consulted with the White House physician eight times.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
And eight months.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Chaos, literally chaos breaks out in the press room at
this point.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Wait no, no, no, no, no, no, no, wait a minute, come, Ed,
please a little respect here, please. So every year around
the present's physical examination, he sees a neurologist. That's three times, right,
So I am telling you that he has seen or
(17:42):
a neurologists three times while he has been in this presence.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
The Parkinson's specialist neurologist came eight times in eight months
according to the visitors laws.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
So I don't know how you're going.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
To That's what I'm saying. I am telling you that
he has seen them three times. That is what I'm
sharing with you. Right, every time he has a physical
he has had to see a neurologists. So that is
answering that question. No, it is, it is you're asking.
I also said to you, Ed. I also said to
(18:13):
you for security reasons, we cannot share names. We cannot
share names.
Speaker 10 (18:19):
We have to we have would have met with in
regards to if someone came here.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
We cannot share We cannot share names of specialist.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Broadly, the name is irrelevant. It's eight times and eight months.
That isn't consistent with an annual physical or three times
over a presidency. Well, then the White House comes back
hours later to identify the neurologist to confirm the visits, and.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Doctor Kevin O'Connor, who was the president's physician, said the
visits from the specials were part of his annual physical,
again which doesn't add up, and that all results have
been made public. And to that end, he said there
were no finding which would be consistent with a central
(19:15):
neurological disorder such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson's. By
the way, he doesn't mention vascular dementia, for example. But again,
none of this, and this is why it becomes a
drip drip, to use a Washington expression, It's not going
to end.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
It's going to be every day until this president relents.
Now to this moment, the president remains defiant. In fact,
in the morning, Joe yesterday, you challenged anybody to come
after him, take me on in the convention.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Nobody can take you on. You've already secured enough delegates
to be the nominee unless you die, God forbid. And
that's what I'm really starting to worry about, which is
why you'll hear me stalling using very careful wording. That's
what I'm worried about. If The New York Times takes
him out of the knees with this latest drip, drip drip,
(20:11):
which is the neurologist eight visits in eight months. They're
going to keep going until they get their way. And
if old Joe Scranton, Joe remains defiant, I worry about
to what lens they would do it?
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Now?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
What is real and what has happened? Well, looking from
a historical platform, an administration has been this dishonest with
the American people FDRs and hiding from America that the
then president could not walk and was wheelchair bound. Now
(20:50):
again he had his full mind. You don't have to
walk to be president. You do have to think. So
that doesn't match. Then there's LBJ who came to the
conclusion himself, Oh, you're right, I can't win our best
bet as I step aside and let the vice president
(21:11):
take a shot. But that's not Joe. He won't step aside.
He wouldn't step aside. Immediately after the election, which I
think was your initial plan. He won't step aside now,
so old Joe's kind of an unchartered territory. Now every
step of this can't emphasize this enough. I think we
need to keep top of mind. As the media is
(21:33):
so aggressive doing its job now, you should be asking
the question, what have they been doing for the previous
four years or forty I might add, so Now the
same media that is prosecuting the White House for not
being transparent, not doing its job, misleading the American people,
(21:56):
are they not guilty of it for not having done
at the last four years. It's just an honest question.
But where does the drip, drip drip lead? No one
was going to buy it from cringe Jean Pierre. I
(22:17):
was just a part of his physical three times. No,
the story was this neurologist is on the logs coming
eight times in eight months. That's not three times in
an annual physical. We wait hours and the White House
releases another statement just as inconsistent. Expect the drip to
(22:38):
continue today. Now there is a neurologist who, just from
observing the president says he undoubtedly has Parkinson's disease. I
would say, I would have guessed dementia. In fact that
I guessed specifically vascular dementia. But I'm not a doctor,
(23:02):
nor am I a neurologist like this guy. He's right,
that doesn't explain the movements and the facial issues. So
watch as I was reading what his take was, some
light bulbs started going off. Maybe they'll go off for you.
He starts with his shuffling gait. Something we all notice,
(23:25):
he said, the absence of associated movements facially, all the
things that we do as human beings when we're healthy.
I don't ever think about my hands. In fact, if
I do, I think it would start looking really awkward.
I don't think about where my head is, my eyes are,
my face, or how we naturally act.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
When we're moving and we're healthy.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
So this neurologist says his shuffling gait the absence of
associated movements, facial expression, arm swinging. In fact, when he
does swing his arms, it appears stilted, probably because his
handlers have told him to swing his arms when he walks.
It's something we all do naturally, the neurologist says, but
(24:04):
it goes away in Parkinson's disease. And then there's gait, instability,
soft voice, on and off periods, times when the medication
seems to be working well and when it isn't. Also
explains a lot of what he's seeing when he looks
at the president. This is the key part of the
(24:27):
This is not the neurologists to visit a day times.
This is just another neurologist. So his physicians undoubtedly know this.
So going back to his physician O'Connell and trying to
continue this nonsensical narrative that this neurologist just comes as
a part of his physical and sees no signs of anything,
(24:48):
this neurologist is saying, of course, anybody can see these signs,
and undoubtedly his own physicians know this. Watch the statement,
and it is uncommon meunctionable that we do not know
this about his health record. He says, I understand hipA issues,
but this is worse than Roosevelt's secret, because at least
(25:13):
he had his mind about him. Here we have someone
with cognitive issues with his hands on a nuclear button.
Now is this neurologists observatory diagnosis? Which, by the way,
one of the points he makes also in this rather
long summation, is that Parkinson's like dementia.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
A dementia you can do MRIs.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
And see things, but Alzheimer's you can see the calcification.
But he says all of this is very clinical, So
any doctor would make this diagnosis based on an observatory
examination more than a blood test or a scan. So
(26:05):
it's all very very relevant. And this is only Tuesday.
The drip drip continues, and we're getting closer and closer
to what they've been hiding from you all along. And
the media that once covered and helped them hide it
is now diligently every day now in pursuit of revelation,
(26:32):
in pursuit of the truth which might be necessary for
this to come to pass. Where have they been for
four years? Now?
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Suddenly they want to do their job and be the hero.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
So this is what kind of builds to the And
I'm going to do a story about a US senator.
This is one senator in particular that is really in trouble,
and they're going to turn on them as well. Everybody's
going to turn on the president. But until the President
comes to the personal decision or death, there's nothing any
(27:11):
of them can do. And that's what makes me fear
for how far the pressure will go.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
I am actress Lisa Varga and my morning show is
your Morning Show with Michael.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Don't you want to.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Tom for your top five stories up the day? If
nothing else, the Dems are Democrats are working on legislation
to classify Donald Trump's actions leading up to the attacks
(27:48):
at the US capital as unofficial acts and an effort
to get around the Supreme Court ruling of immunity.
Speaker 9 (27:56):
Brian Shook reports. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Monday.
This is in response to the Supreme Court's ruling that
presidents are entitled to broad immunity for official acts. Schumer
said the conservative justices effectively placed a crown on Trump's
head in their ruling, and Congress has the authority to
check the High Court. The ruling is expected to impact
(28:18):
Trump's federal election interference case, as well as the other
criminal cases against the former president. I'm Brian Shook. As
for the current president, Ready or not. Biden's going to
host the high stakes.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
NATO's summit in Washington this week to mark the seventy
fifth anniversary of the Alliance National Security Council. Spokesman John
Kirby said NATO has been a major focus of the
Biden administration.
Speaker 11 (28:40):
For seventy five years. NATO asserted a vital role when
protecting the American people and making the world a less
dangerous place. NATO is the strongest defensive alliance in history,
and today it is bigger, stronger, better resource, and more
united than ever before, in large part due to President
Biden's leadership over the last three years.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Appreciate him reading that straight from the heart.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
The summit comes at a critical time for Biden is
under pressure to follow his fit to serve another four
years as president. The President will hold a press conference
on Thursday to close out the summit.
Speaker 11 (29:08):
President's looking forward to hosting the leaders from thirty eight
different countries this week in Washington for a historic summit
to mark the seventy fifth anniversary of the NATO Summit.
This will obviously include the leaders of all our NETO
allies as well as NATO partners including Ukraine, Japan, New
Zealand and Republic of Korea.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Well a question yesterday was his President Biden in denial
or is he being defiant? Yesterday was his attempt to
prove defiant? Is he wants his doubters to challenge him
during the Democrat convention. During a phone interview with MSNBC Monday,
Biden tried to address concerns coming from his own party
about his mental fitness.
Speaker 12 (29:44):
We get so.
Speaker 7 (29:45):
Frustrated by the leap in the party, who they know
so much more with any of these guys, I don't
think I should.
Speaker 12 (29:52):
Run against me.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
He then challenged his doubters.
Speaker 7 (29:57):
Announced for president challenge man to convention.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Which makes about as much sense as eight visits from
a neurologist in eight months being just a part of
his annual physical The president owns these delegates.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
They have been won. He is the presumptive nominee. Other
than death, only he can release those delegates. So to
ask people to take him on is simply well illogical.
What does Doald Trump make of all this chaos on
the left? Mark Mayfield reports.
Speaker 12 (30:27):
Former President Trump believes that President Biden will remain in
the race.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
There's November.
Speaker 13 (30:32):
Well, they cover for him, and they still are sort
of covering, but now it's getting very difficult to do that.
And you know, it looks to me like he may
very well stay, and he's got an ego and he
doesn't want to.
Speaker 12 (30:42):
In an interview with Fox News Monday, Trump said that
he thinks Biden's wife Jill would like him to stay
and that nobody wants to give that up that way.
Referring to being potentially forced out, Trump predicted that Vice
President Harris would become the nominee if Biden were to
drop out, but said Biden has all the power. During
a phone interview with MBC on Monday, Biden tried to
address concerns coming from his own party about his mental fitness.
(31:05):
He said those Democrats wanting him to drop out should
run against him and challenge him at the DNC in August,
and the White House is facing a barrage of questions
over the mental fitness of President Biden. Monday's press briefing
became contentious following a report that a Parkinson's disease expert
has visited the White House eight times over an eight
month period. That's Politics, Mark Neefield, NBC News Radio.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
The city of Houston is dealing with the aftermath of
Hurricane Beryl. Mayor John Whitmer is pleading with residents to
help those in need.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Look out for your family, your neighbors, your pets, the
most vulnerable. If you're responsible for senior citizens. It's your duty,
your responsibility to look out for the most vulnerable.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Reports say a Russian missile hit a children's hospital in Ukraine.
Michael Kasner reports.
Speaker 14 (31:51):
Skeeves Mayor confirmed the attack on his city, calling it
one of the worst. In two years of war. Russia
hit targets in Keyland around the country with hypersonic missiles.
More than twenty were killed across the country and attacks
that targeted apartment buildings and infrastructure. Russia invaded Ukraine about
two and a half years ago on Michael Kassner.

manslaughter trial.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Kristin Marx reports.
Speaker 6 (32:18):
This after a judge rule during a pre trial hearing
in Santa Fe Monday that evidence related to Baldwin's rule
as a producer for the film Rest will not be
used in the case against the award winning actor. Baldwin

Mexico when it went off, firing a live round and
killing cinematographer Helena Hutchins in twenty twenty one. He faces
