Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, gang, it's me Michael. You can listen to your
morning show live. Make us a part of your morning
routine or your drive to work companion on great stations
like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and fifteen ten
WLAC in Nashville, Tupelos News and Talk one oh one
point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk
six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love to have you

(00:21):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the
podcast Enjoy.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Well two three.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding, because we're in.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
This to give.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
This is your morning show with Michael Dell Jordan. Almost
before we went on the air, I broke out into
Charles Nilson Briley. I guess that's starting your morning off wrong.
You broke out into like twenty different things. Get it
out of this system. You never did make a Guess
who used to end his radio program this way. It's

(00:59):
not goodbye, it's just good night. I love you New
York our starn No, I really don't know, man. This
is Walter Eagan, Magnet and Steele. One of the biggest
hits of my freshman year of high school. Great singer
guitarists stayed at Stevie Nicks also my son's Nick's substitute

(01:23):
teacher at Centennial High School. Only in Nashville is your Saba?
A former seventies hit maker out of work. Guitarist Alan
Freed used to end his show, No, kidden, it's not goodbye,
It's just good night. I love you New York. I
got radio history this morning. I can't believe it. My
favorite was Dave Baum, who did probably the first talk

(01:45):
show in America. It was Nights on wyn D and
Chicago in the late sixties and seventies. He always ended
with I'm gonna put the coffee on the kids on
his way. I always loved that one. Well, well, we'll
save goodbye for three hours from now. Good morning, and
welcome to Friday. Where this we go? Do you think
it's the phones that are making time fly so fast? Yes?

(02:05):
I really honest the good night I did too. I
think that we cannot process all of the information fast
enough that comes in on our phone, and it makes
time fly by. I mean, somewhere, get a little piece
of property, get yourself from land, put a fence around,
put a fence around and just sit down the porch,
drink and lemonade. I bet your time would slow down

(02:26):
a little bit, get a no feed the raccoons and
the squirrels, and just like that, it's Friday. Well that
means Friday with forty five. Later in the third hour,
he ought to be in rare form. Could things be
going any better for Donald Trump? The fall of his opponent,
his big viep announcement, the convention all upon him, all
of the attempts of law fair have failed. He's soaring

(02:48):
in what looks like an even better electoral college map
than twenty sixteen. In twenty twenty four, We'll visit with
Friday with forty five. In the third hour, yesterday, all
the focus was, well, look, let's face it, it was
a bad debate for Joe Biden's dude, like what, I'd
like to just break out a dumb player. So then

(03:09):
to make up for it, he sat down with George
step up, Stefanopolis. Wait a minute, if where's the take
me out to the bowl game? Should we be playing?
We don't have to do that, okay, And then, of
course yesterday was to be hell and to the count
of the President, everybody asking him to step down, but
he's got one last solo news conference. He didn't even

(03:33):
get to the news conference. I mean, I don't know
how this would have been Churchill introducing FDR as Hitler.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
Perhaps now I want to hand it over to the
President Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination,
ladies and gentlemen, President putin, Oops, and now I want to.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Ops Benzelinski. All right, So that didn't go well. Then
the news conference begins. And of course when he chose
Donald Trump to be his vice president, he did so
knowing he was ready to be president.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
I wouldn't have picked vice President Trump to be vice president,
so I think.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
She's not qualified to be president. So let's start there. Well,
I thought i'd start that this morning. I don't think
this is going particularly well. There was a lot of sleepiness.
There was a lot of really strange whispering throughout the word.

(04:35):
I'm trying to figure out exactly how many times. I
think it was fifteen anyway whenever he get stuck anyway,
the word anyway was used fifteen times. That's nitpicking. Introducing
Zelensky as putin. His vice president is Donald Trump. Those
are big gaffes, and then between there was just a

(04:55):
lot of.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
This let me you know, for the longest time it
was you know, Biden's not prepared to see those nounscripted.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Biden's not prepared to in any way. It's interesting nobody
has mentioned to me were the most obvious. And I
try to do this as kind as I can. I
was raised to respect my elders. I think Bible encourages
us to respect our elders. It's it's something that gets
me usually thinking about Joe Biden, know what's going on

(05:26):
there that she doesn't take her husband and go home.
But this is clearly something more like you would see
in a memory care unit of a retirement facility than
president of the United States. And nobody believes he's up
to the job. In fact, it even came up, you know,
his his handlers have leaked and he's basically a ten
am to two pm president and that's it. And then

(05:49):
gone for the weekend. And then Biden himself basically has
said that you know, I pretty much got to be
done by seven, sorry, which did not go over very

(06:10):
big and actually came up yesterday in the Q and
A of his news conference, and he got gave this response.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
What I said was in said of my every day
starting at seven and going to bed at midnight, it'd
be smarter for me to pace myself.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
A little more. And then the pace is what has
everybody concerned. So things that nobody brings up was the
constant whispering. You know, do it once or twice as creepy,
but I think he did it about seven eight times.
Nobody made any mention to him being almost exactly an
hour late. What was that about? It was funny. I
went back and forth between CNN and Fox because you know,

(06:48):
I do what they do for a living, and there
are times, hopefully you don't notice it, guests are related
to this show, and I am prepared to begin to
talk to them, and then they're not here. You have
to what we call vamp phil. Yeah, and they filled
for an hour and never on Fox or CNN, and
all the filled even had to switch shows. Nobody made

(07:10):
him mention this news conference was to begin at five
point thirty. So here was the big test for Joe
Biden and he shows up an hour late. Look, I
can tell you in our house and nobody was making fun.
It was just like, what's going on. My thought was, gee,
I hope they didn't overdose him on amfetamines or something
to pep him up. And they're having some kind of
a medical emergency. Gotta let him come down a little bit.

(07:33):
Another person of the room speculated, well, maybe the medicine
hasn't kicked in yet. He didn't have enough energy yet.
I don't know what were we waiting for. Why was
it an hour late? Why all the whispering. I think
some caught the tone difference where there was complete defiance
and the debate is it was failing. In the Stephanopoulos
interview after I'm not going anywhere yesterday, it did seem

(07:56):
to be hedged a bit. If I think somebody could
beat me, I'd step aside. If they showed me in
the polls that there was no path forward, I would
step aside. So he's opened the door. There was some
speculation as to you know, if Obama's pressuring him, will

(08:18):
that backfire? Is Nancy Pelosi the only one who really
can get through to him. Some still believe it's only
Jill they could get through to him. But he softened
that defiance yesterday. Now, first of all, we do this
one straight three just to kind of, you know, take
some of the tension out of the room. He has

(08:39):
struck out. If that was the big moment yesterday, he
did not live up to it. And at the end
of the day, all anybody's going to talk about is.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
This and now I want to hand it over to
the President Ukraine, who has as much courage as he
has determination.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Ladies and gentlemen, President putin or be this.

Speaker 4 (09:02):
I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president,
so I think she's not qualified to be president.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Let's start there. Well, a whole lot of this in
between me. For the longest time, it was strike three.
He failed. Joe Biden's gone. Now. I don't know how
they're going to orchestrate this or coordinate this. I think
if you are rooting for Donald Trump, you don't want
to see him go. He will be the easiest to defeat,

(09:30):
and he gives you the likelihood, i'd say even over possibility,
the likelihood of taking over the United States Senate and
demoralizing your lead in the House to take them decades
to overcome. You want Joe Biden to stay in the race,
I think there's zero chance he does now. And if

(09:50):
they orchestrate this. In his trip to Texas out fitting
at the LBJ Library, he comes to the LBJ conclusion, besides,
I've always felt like I've been saying it now for
ten months, it's not going to be Joe Biden. I've
been corrected by some of my correspondents. Oh, it's going
to be Joe Biden. It's not going to be Joe Biden.

(10:10):
And yesterday was the final straw, and it was uncomfortable
to watch, and it was sad to watch. I wasn't
sitting in my home laughing. I was sitting in my
home feeling sorry for an individual who needs to be resting,
not leading. And I felt very concerned for our time

(10:32):
and my children and all time, and curious who's really
been running this country. But yeah, I would call that
strike three. And I guess he gets a bonus strike
because they recorded the interview with ABC, and in it
again he says some things that alarm a lot of Democrats,

(10:53):
which is not the least of which is well, if
I lose, as long as I gave it my all,
that's not what anybody wants to hear. So that was
pretty disastrous yesterday for Joe Biden. And a pretty good
indication as to why you don't see the president do
more than fifteen solo news conferences in a presidency whispering

(11:16):
late referring to Zelensky as Putin, Kamala Harris as Trump.
It was a mess, and that's what we wake up
to this morning. They like to call, you know, Joe
Biden senile, but Donald Trump, he's he's a liar bo

(11:37):
Donald Trump, he's the devil himself. He's going to dismantle democracy.
In fact, the President yesterday even warned about Project twenty
twenty five, as if that has anything to do with
Donald Trump, as if that has anything to do with
dismantling democracy. Project twenty twenty five is the vision of

(11:57):
the Heritage Foundation. And I know you've been hearing a
lot of false claims and narratives and attacks and associations
with Trump. Nothing to do with that. It's real policy
solutions based on four pillars. It's a one hundred and
eighty day policy playbook to get the country back on

(12:17):
course again. We'll talk to Hans von Spakovsky from the
Heritage Foundation, one of the people that put this together.
The truth about Project twenty five, how it like Donald
Trump is being made the boogey man. Of course, it's Friday,
so we'll visit with forty five. Our correspondents are sprawled
out over topics and the country, not the least of
which is John Decker, our White House correspondent on the

(12:40):
highly anticipated news conference. I suspect even our White House
correspondent John Decker has the same take on yesterday that
I do. Joe Biden had at best a shaky solo
day and failed the test for a third time, perhaps
the final test, perhaps the end of his road to

(13:01):
the White House. This is your morning show with Michael
del Chona. If you're listening on the iHeartRadio app, it's
a little microphone. Just press that microphone. Leave your message.
We get it instantly. We can share it with the class.
You can do it just like that guy did. All right.
More than a dozen congressional Democrats are calling on Biden

(13:21):
to drop out of the race. If that was his
third and final attempt to convince this he's okay to
be president. I think at the point he called President
Zelenski boutin, and at the point he called Kamala Harris
Vice President Trump, he may have failed that test. We'll
have more of your top stories coming up. Also one
of the best dates for business. Well it should be

(13:42):
all fifty, but it's not. And how does yours stack up?
Our national correspondent Aaron Rayal is joining us. Good morning, Aaron,
Good morning Michael.

Speaker 5 (13:51):
How are you.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
I'm good.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
I just gagging through a Friday as they say, did
you walk last night?

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yeah? It was. You know, these are not fun moments.
I'm not one of these talk show radio guys. The
president thinks his vice president is Donald Trump. Give me
a call j eight ninety five. Nint No, it's sad.
I want to grab Jill Biden and say, go get
your husband and give him a dignified retirement. But it
was obviously not the bar they were hoping he could achieve.

(14:20):
And I suspect he'll be gone in weeks four days.

Speaker 5 (14:23):
I mean, I hope, I hope. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
And it's had to watch, I mean to me, the
most fascinating thing is nobody brought up all the whispering.
Nobody brought up the fact that he had some energy
when he came out and then completely lost it. Nobody
mentioned that he was an hour late. You know, there's
a lot of things.

Speaker 6 (14:41):
Nobody mentioned, but right, those are forgivable relatives to like
calling your vice president.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
You know that.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (14:49):
There was just so much there.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
I agree.

Speaker 6 (14:51):
But know what, I keep thinking all week, I've been
thinking about your listener, that woman who called in who
said that she had experienced with dementia, and like the
the defiance that comes with it. That's really stuck with
me because I'm like, wow.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yeah, it was a good action for those didn't hear it.
It's a survival mechanism for those that are suffering from
dimension now, their fury is you're gonna put them away,
You're gonna put me in a home, that kind of thing.
So there's a denial and a defiance and they go
hand in hand. It too looks like a symptom. And
then of course the questions came up about having a
neurological and cognitive test. You know, the president could easily

(15:26):
do that, but would fail. I presume, Yeah, that's why
he won't. Yeah, so you're down to two minutes. Good states,
bad states for business should be all fifty. What are they?

Speaker 6 (15:35):
Yeah, let's talk about the thing at hands. I just
loved chatting with you.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
No, I do too, but I just don't want to
get cut off. Actually when you keep chatting and just
not do this story best.

Speaker 6 (15:44):
Thanks for Business in America twenty twenty four. CNBC compiled this.
It was wildly comprehensive. They used one hundred and twenty
eight metrics, ten broad categories. None of this was opinion.
They looked at census data. They had a really really
great methodology.

Speaker 7 (15:59):
Most of them are in this.

Speaker 6 (16:00):
Virginia number one, followed by North Carolina, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Minnesota, Ohio, Tennessee, Michigan,
and Washington. If you want to open a business, run
a business. They looked at everything from infrastructure, the workforce,
the actual state's economy, quality of life. If you want
to secure great talent, you're going to need a high

(16:22):
quality of life, the cost of doing business, innovation, education,
access to capital, cost of living. All of this went
into it. So I think this is really really interesting
Virginia to throw in North Carolina, which for a long
time had the top spot, But yeah, Virginia, if you
want to start a business, do a business, they're open
to it.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
I guess Michigan is the one that is probably the
most surprising. Tennessee the least I'm living in the traffic
of it, and probably a pretty average mix of blue
and red states, which we normally don't see in these
When Eric comes back next, how we're going to talk
about despite inflation, the actual number of low wage workers
is not going up, it's going down. Hi, It's Michael.

(17:00):
Your morning show can be heard on great radio stations
across the country like News Talk ninety two point one
and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee, or thirteen hundred
The Patriot and Tulsa or Talk six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California.
We invite you to listen live while you're getting ready
in the morning and to take us along for the
drive to work. But as we always say, better late
than never. Thanks for joining us for the podcast, Thanks

(17:22):
for waking up with your morning show. I guess let's
just tab a little one on one time and talk.
You know, sometimes you can get caught up in this
whole process that you There was a great story about
the building of the taj Mahal and the king is
trying to build this as a tribute to his wife,
and at some point things are so busy that he's

(17:46):
he's walking through the building while it's in progress, and
he bumps into this thing and stubs his toe, and
he gets all angry, say what is this blank? Get
this stuff out of here. And of course that was
the body and the remains of his wife. He got
so fixated on building this tribute to her, he forgot
what he was building it for, and she was now

(18:07):
in the way. Sometimes we get so caught up in
the process we lose the meaning. The meaning is one
nation under God. Perhaps we should discuss that God and
choose him once again. Indivisible is the goal, not completely
divided the norm. We use words on this show like

(18:33):
we're all in this together as gentle reminders. You think
it's a good thing your president is senile and introducing
President Zelenski is Vladimir Putin. You think it's a good
thing that if Churchill, in the midst of a world
war can't tell the difference between FDR and Hitler, Now,

(18:55):
that would be a bad thing for the war, be
a bad thing for the world. So I can't help
but notice America. When I was watching yesterday, Sure I
got the elementary notion if this was his third and
final chance to prove to us he's fine, he's not,

(19:18):
and it's probably strike three and the drip, drip, drip,
and the pressure, pressure, pressure from the media. I mean somewhere,
if Robert de Niro was speaking today and you heard
de Niro say something like he's got to be stopped,
you would suddenly presume he's talking about Biden, not Trump. Now,

(19:42):
so all the people that have been covering it up
are all the people trying to push him out. And
you may be watching that, going, oh, and this is great,
Trump's gonna win. That's not great, not if the goal
is one nation under God, indivisible, with liber and justice
for all, and a government of for and by the people,

(20:03):
with prosperity and security. It's all very frightening. And don't
get caught up in this and think anything bigger than
the moment is happening. The minute they force Biden out,
that same media will go right back on the bandwagon

(20:25):
of whomever the next choice is. Like yesterday, I can't
tell you that it's never happened. I haven't been paying
attention that closely. I don't recall ever seeing it happen,
and I don't ever recall it being the top story
when I went to the Washington Post website a fact

(20:46):
check of the president. So to me, my fascination is
the death of journalism. We don't have news anymore. We
don't have honest middleman anymore. We don't have what our
founding fathers desired in a freedom of the press to
hold elect officials accountable, so that we who grant are

(21:07):
consent to be governed by someone is getting what we
granted it to. No, we get narratives. And we're not
even news consumers anymore. We're narrative repeaters. We're in our
silos watching the shows we watch, listening to the people
we listen to, reading the things that we read, and
sharing amongst ourselves. And that's how we have formed a

(21:30):
matrix in a divided States of America. My father always
called Abraham Lincoln Abraham Linguini, trying to give us some
Italian heritage. As Abraham Linguini would say, a house divided
cannot stand. And if that's true, even yesterday, in the

(21:50):
midst of Joe Biden's third biggest failure, as a divided
nation that cannot stand, that should still be your chief concern.
The second point I would make to help you through
the wilderness is Joe Biden isn't the failure. Joe Biden

(22:10):
is merely skin bones, a figurehead that represents a party,
a worldview, a policy view, and it's failing. When you
connect those dots, now you're getting closer. We talked about

(22:31):
this a little bit yesterday, but in case you weren't listening,
Joe Biden having cognitive impairment is not the failure at
the border. The policy is. Joe Biden's cognitive inabilities is
not what's confusing people on what a boy is and
a girl is and what bathroom to go do. The

(22:53):
policies are failing. But in the midst of this, we
have these narratives and these narrative repeats, and now it
seems like then the people that control the narrative have
turned down Joe Biden. And you think, wow, that won't
that be refreshing? If CNN and the Washington Post starts
holding Democrats accountable too, they won't do it for long.

(23:13):
They'll just do it till they get their way and
Joe Biden is gone because they don't think he can win. So,
as I was saying, nobody made a mention of the whispering,
which was odd. Nobody made a mention of the energy
that dropped. After ten minutes, nobody made a reference to
him was an hour late. They were in cover up
mode until he referred to as Vice president as Donald

(23:37):
Trump instead of Kamala Harris. I'll give you one other
really odd moment that no one is talking about, and
I'm so grateful that the Washington Post posted this clip
and started it when they did. It's Joe's been whispering
all day long, and sometimes really whispering. If my delegates

(24:05):
want to vote for someone else, they can, but they won't.
If Democrats want me to step aside, I'll step aside,
but they won't ask me. I mean, it's just all
day long with the whispering and the low energy, and
then also very common for those suffering with extreme forms

(24:29):
of dimension Alzheimer's, they're outbursts, emotional outbursts, abrupt energy changes
like this.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
I'm going to be going around making the case of
the things that I think we have to finish and
how we can't afford to lose what we've done or
backslide on civil rights of liberties, women's rice and that
little button may have.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Control guns not girls.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
I mean, the idea we're sitting around this for Kamos
so good as well. We're sitting around. More children are
killed with by the bullet than any other cause of
death the United States of America.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
What hell are we doing. It's a real odd energy change,
very common with those suffering from dementia. Oh, by the way,
more children are not killed by bullets than any other cause.
Automobile accidents is still number one. And that's some of
the things that the Washington Post actually got in and
fact checked. There was a point where Biden said, in fact,
the day after Putin invaded Ukraine, here's what he said.

(25:36):
It was genius, it was wonderful. Some of you forgot that.
That's exactly what he said. Well, that's completely out of context,
which the Washington Post doesn't make clear. The Post fact
checks and says Biden is basically correct on what what
Trump said, but he has the chronology wrong. Trump was
admiring Russian President Vladimir Putin the day before the not

(26:00):
the day after. Unfortunately for the Washington Post, they include
this next paragraph, which only those who read the Washington
Post in the left matrix wouldn't notice anyway, but reasonable
people should notice. Trump's quote was you got to say
it was pretty savvy, meaning if you got a week

(26:24):
president that isn't going to do anything to stop you,
isn't even trying to stop you. Yeah, take you Kring
go on to poland from his evil perspective, that's the
savvy move. That's the context in which Trump said it.
And you know, and this is the furtherance of the

(26:46):
quote from Donald Trump with the conservative talk radio show.
And you know what the response was from Biden. No response,
They didn't have one for that. Very sad, very sad.
But Biden and the left, and certainly the left narrative
narrative narrative ists always try to portray it as Donald

(27:07):
Trump is as evil as Putin, and on Putin's side,
that's not it. Donald Trump is making the point of
peace through strength and how weakness emboldens aggressors, makes war
more likely, makes aggression more likely. They fact checked him

(27:29):
on the encounters along the border and how inaccurate it
is and how the numbers are still far higher than
when Donald Trump was president. He said, the UAW just
endorsed me. The United Auto Workers endorsed Biden in January
after Biden made this statement and response to a question

(27:51):
about the UAW support. There was an increase in search
traffic about whether the union had endorsed him, perhaps because
during his debate with Donald Trump, Biden falsely said that
he had the endorsement of the Border Patrol Union when
he didn't. And they go on and fact check a
bunch of things about four or five blatant lies, two
or three out of context. Big picture. Oh, you mean

(28:14):
the Washington Post is now going to fact check Joe
Biden for a change. It's because they want them out,
not because they care about you, not because they care
about our nation. They care about their worldview, their policy views,
and the control of you. And they're losing the control

(28:36):
of that ability. And if Joe Biden goes down, he's
taking the Senate in the House with him. But don't
expect the Washington Post to keep doing that once they
force them out. So you know, in all of this,
you got to take a deep breath. There's Joe Biden

(28:58):
the person, and there's no dignity left. He really needs
to be in memory care and getting the care he deserves.
His desire to hang on to power or his wife's
desire to hang on to power, but the whole power
machine is now against him and the clock is ticking.

(29:19):
I suspect he's days away from going away, weeks at
the most, and the defiance along with the gaffs yesterday
point two. He's a heck of a lot more open
to it today than he was a week ago. So
imagine where he'll be a week from now. That's our
one on one time gretton Frank and Tennessee on My

(29:44):
Morning Show.

Speaker 7 (29:45):
Is your Morning Show with Michael del John out.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
You can always email Michael dietiheartmedia dot com rights. Let's
remember what Biden's first response to Putin after invading Ukraine was,
sent him a plane ticket to retreat and abandon his
country and save his butt. If that had happened, all
of Ukraine would be Russian today. Yeah, he sent a

(30:08):
ticket to the Ukrainian president for asylum. I did forget
that as a matter of fact. All right, your top
five stories a day. Waking up this morning. If this
was Biden's last chance, it was a shaky solo at best,

(30:28):
and it could be the end of his road to
the White House.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Brian Shook reports Road to the White House twenty twenty four.
President Biden says he's the best qualified candidate for the job.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
During a rare.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
Solo press event that lasted nearly an hour, Biden said
there are other people who could beat Trump, too, but
it's awful hard to start from scratch. Biden said he
needs to engage more with voters.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
Let me see my you know, for the longest time,
it was, you know, Biden's not prepared to citizens.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
I'nscripted. Biden's not prepared.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
To Biden made several mental gaffes, like calling Trump his
vice president. He's facing increasing calls from Democrats to drop
his reelection bid over concerns about his mental fitness. Biden said,
I'm just going to keep moving in Washington. I'm Brian shook.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
Really, you said, they can't even pick a SoundBite that
makes any sense. Former President Obama and Nancy Pelosi have
held private meetings about the future of Biden's campaign. Mark
Mayfield has that story.

Speaker 7 (31:27):
CNN reports both Obama and the ex House Speaker have
expressed worries about Biden's mental fitness and how difficult it
will be for him to beat Donald Trump. The meetings
come as sixteen congressional Democrats have called on Biden to
exit the race. CNN reporters spoke with over a dozen
members of Congress and people in touch with Obama and Pelosi,
and many have allegedly said the end of Biden's candidacy

(31:47):
feels clear. The news comes the same day that Biden
spoke at an hour long press conference.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
I'm Mark Mayfield the two big gaffs everyone's going to
talk about.

Speaker 4 (31:56):
And now I want to hand it over to the
President Ukraine, who has there's as much courage as he
has determination, ladies and genthn, I'm President Putin.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
Yeah. And it got even worse later during his solo
one on one news conference when he confused his vice
president's name.

Speaker 4 (32:14):
I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president,
so I think she's not qualified to be president.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
So let's start there. Chinese military ships are off the
coast of Alaska. Yeah, let's keep our eye on the ball.
Here's Lisa Taylor.

Speaker 5 (32:28):
The US Coast Guard says all four of the ships
were in international waters, but inside the US Exclusive Economic Zone,
which goes out two hundred miles from the shoreline. The
Coastguard says the Chinese vessels claimed they were in the
area for freedom of navigation. Operations. I'm Lisa Taylor.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
I missed a simpler time. Get off work on Friday.
You go with your wife to Blockbuster. You get that
new release because somebody left it in the return pile.
When you go home and have a nice evening wedd
things have changed thanks to technology. Another sign of that
Blockbuster's long gone and say goodbye to red Box. Tammy
Trilo has this story for.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
More than two decades. The company has rented out DVDs
at thousands of kiosks all over the country, but it
appears it's finally given into the digital revolution. Redbox's parent company,
Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, converted its Chapter eleven
bankruptcy case to a Chapter seven liquidation preceding this week.
It means all one thousand workers at red Box are

(33:26):
expected to be laid off, but it's not clear what
will happen to the over twenty four thousand red kiosks.
As far back as March, there aven reports that some
of them were found unplugged with their credit card readers
taped over.

Speaker 1 (33:38):

the springtime. Dave Lockins passed away Yesterday. Actors Shelley Duvall
