(00:21):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the podcast.
Enjoy starting your morning off right.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
it because we're in this togavin.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
This is your morning show with Michael Bill Chap Thank
you Mike mccannon.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Seven minutes after the hour on this Tuesday drive, Thanks
for bringing us along with you on the Aaron streaming
live on your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show.
I'm Michael Red's staring at his phone with herban in
the background.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Jeffrey keeping the.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Sounds moving, and here are your top stories waking up both.
It's been to days since we've had a murder in
our nation's capital. President Trump's deployment of federal troops seems
to be working like a charm no winner in the
powerball jackpot it now goes to a staggering eight hundred
and fifteen million dollars, which if you won that today
(01:16):
and took the payment plan, maybe you could buy a
car with.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
A thirty six month payment plan, but not likely.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Hey remember the days when a car loan was three
years four years at the most. These days people won't
finish paying off their car until twenty thirty two. Your
morning show national correspondent Roy O'Neil is joining us with
the story of why seven year auto loans Somewhere I
think Dave Ramsey's head just exploded. Seven year auto loans
(01:46):
are becoming the new normal.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Good morning, Rory, I don't want to be nor good morning.
Yeah right, good morning.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
In the second quarter of this year, about one in
five auto loans twenty one percent of them or for
seven year. Look, as you said, the average price of
a car is now just under fifty thousand dollars brand new,
and a lot of people can't make that monthly payment
unless they stretch it out over more time. So seven
(02:13):
years is becoming the new norm, and there are actually
some eight year car loans floating around out there. You know,
there are pluses and minuses to this. Yeah, you get
the smaller payment, but now you are almost trapped in
that car for longer. By the time it's paid off,
its resale value is even lower.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
And then the.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Bigger issue is you're also probably going to hold onto
that car longer, which means you actually end up buying
cars less frequently, which actually could hurt the car.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
But you left out another possible scenario two, and that
is that most people don't keep cars that long. And
then you trade it in and you owe more than
it's worth because the interest is front loaded. Now you're
upside down. I don't think eight years will cover your
next one. I mean, it's just I mean, it's so point.
(03:00):
You know, the Dave Ramsey's been very successful just doing
common sense stuff, right, don't spend money you don't have
U at the point you need to do a seven
year I mean, wouldn't even at least make more sense.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Well, right now.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
You're going to have to run the numbers to figure
out what you're buying and why you're buying. And maybe
you should be able the used car a lot, not
buying new instead. But there are sometimes they have sweeter
offers with the new cars, so it's difficult to figure
it all out. But look, there's also that point in
your life when you're twenty five you find great satisfaction
and driving down the street in the cool car. When
you're fifty five you find great satisfaction and off the
(03:37):
car loan for the last time, going oh oh, and
you know one to write off on. So yeah, it's
a you know, different times of life demand different things.
I guess, all right, so I can't. I can't even believe.
I did see.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
When I was buying I think it was Nick's Nick's car,
that one of the options was seven year, which I
couldn't it was in months, so I had to add
it up. I was just like, that's insane, right, and
now you're telling me eight and what's next? Average aage's
up in four three. All they try to well, they'll
try to sell you that extended one too, but look,
(04:14):
the average monthly car payment these days is seven hundred
and forty five dollars a.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Month, and it's appreciating asset.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I'm afraid I'm going long. Do you have like sixty
more secs? I guess yeah, yes, Okay, Well because one
of the things that you and I did together, and
I know it's been on your radar for a long time,
is insurance has just exploded.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
And a lot of it has to do.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
With the price of replacing the vehicle, all right, because
if they go up, the insurance goes up, and other
things you start adding all together. And at what point
is depending on how I mean. I've seen people buying
new cars that they're not driving but five thousand miles
a year. It's mostly just sitting there. And at some
point uber makes sense, leasing makes sense.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
This, this does and then think of the technolog right,
you want your phone to connect to the car, Well,
you don't know what your phone I.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Call them gazintas and gazatas.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
You know, you don't know what the gazina is going
to look like on the cable of what end it's
a USBC.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
A K who knows?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
So, I mean, how much more outdated will the car
be seven eight years from now because it doesn't keep
up with the technology.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yeah, all great points, all bad signs, not good all right. Well,
if you think your state work's the hardest, the results
when Rory comes back in our third hour may surprise you.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
We've got the hard workers and the slackers.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
When Rory returns, I can't have your morning show without
your voice, and we wouldn't want to. There was one
before Big John. I think it was Roger, wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Do you have Roger? Yes? Yeah, Rogers first, Ry and
Michael Ay.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
You talking about people diminishing what crime is, whether it's
serious enough or not hot, and how to classify it.
I was watching a story of a high tech crime
ring Los Angeles that they just caught, and it seemed
like one of the officials, I don't know if he's
with the police department or not, but he tried to
(06:11):
distinguish it between crimes of need and crimes of greed,
and I really think that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
It's as if they've got a justification for everything but
law and order, isn't it. Now what he's reacting to
is the big story today coming out of the New
York Post. Zoran mom Donnie wants to end all misdemeanor
charges or as the Post took a shout at him
and said, what is this easy pass for criminals? Now,
(06:39):
he's long been a supporter of defunding the police. He
kind is smart enough to back away from that. But
everything adds up to that. Oh, I know how we
can stop crime in New York. We just won't arrest
anybody acknowledge it's a crime, or charge anybody, or jail
anybody for a crime.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Or as our emailer said not long before, why has
come out to play that movie? I would watch that today,
but it would never hold up with it.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I don't know, man, when I was that's a classic man, No,
but I mean thirteen thirteen years old.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
That comes on HBO, you know, with.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
All these gangs, and when that creepy gang wearing Yankee
uniforms with their bats start coming up and they wore
cleates too, as they're running down.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
The streets being baseball. Very nice. Rad Jeffrey had no clue.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
So Mondani and his comrades at the Democrat Socialists of America,
they want to wipe out the enforcement of all misdemeanor offenses.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
And you're like, oh, what's that.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Well, the reason is the platform of the Democrats Socialist
of America who endorse him, of which I think he's
an Islamist more than he's a socialist. They blast policing
in general, detention in general. They are instruments of class
war designed to guarantee that the domination of the working class.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
They demand an end to what it.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Calls criminalization of the working class survival. Getting back to
our caller, can you imagine how they view crime of need?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
For all? You ready for this, You're gonna love this,
for all of the working class. To achieve collective liberation,
we must constrain, diminish, abolish forces of the state, from
prisons to police themselves, to their manifestations and all forms
throughout society. On the campaign trail, Mandani likes to summarize
(08:41):
it by saying, we want to stop the police from
focusing on what he keeps referring to as non serious crimes.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
We had a long discussion about that. We live in
moral relativism right now. There is no absolute truth, There
is no absolute right or wrong. How can anybody make
any kind of broad statement about what is serious or
non serious in terms of crimes. I can tell you
anybody that's been at a crime perpetrated on them feels
like it's serious, whether you beat me with a bottle
(09:10):
or a gun, Mom Donnie. As an assemblyman, he even
questioned the purpose of prisons repeatedly calling for the rollback
of punishment. Critics, of course, remained unconvinced that he can
lead law enforcement and tame the New York City crime.
(09:31):
You know, whether you go through the Democrats, socialists, or
you go through mom Donnie's stump speeches or his past
assembly comments, you never really do hear. They don't want
to get into that that you would literally dial nine
one one.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
There's somebody in my house.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
They're beating up my husband and they're asking me to
get the jewelry.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
And how does that make you feel?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
What?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
How does that make you feel?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
How scared?
Speaker 6 (09:58):
Set it?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Please?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
We don't have police, but we're here to help. We're
a social worker.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Or this ridiculous assumption that, oh, all people are good,
inherently good. No no one's gonna steal, no one's gonna stab,
no one's gonna shoot, nobody's gonna abduct, nobody's gonna rape.
Listen the numbers state, Mam Donnie is gonna win if
(10:25):
he does. What's the future of New York beyond the
funny line warriors come out and play. Seriously, you may
have to get Kurt Russell needs to dust off the
eye patch it's gonna be escaped from New York. Of course,
that's the latest polling. If you go by Big John,
(10:46):
all's gonna be well in the end.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Here's Big John.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
So Big John is saying it right here, right now.
Curtis Leiwa will win in a landslide. He's a silent
majority winner. There's a lot of boats out there for him.
He's hitting every borough. You's got a lot of money
coming in in September.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Curtis Liwa and Snoop Dogg will be attending a gay
animated double feature this week. I hope so from your
lips to God's ears, picked John, I hope so. I
hope so for every resident in New York City. But
it's not looking good at this moment.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
All right.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Eighteen minutes after the hour, listen, if you're living on
credit cards just to cover groceries, gas bills, any surprises,
you know, those interest rates are brutal. I keep paying
twenty twenty five or more percent to banks, and you

Speaker 2 (13:00):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Do you have the creepy sounds of the Rogues? Play
it right now?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Wiors hellow to play?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
And then it was the Lizzies. What was the Yankees
with the cleats and the bats Baseball Furies? Baba, we're
all talking about Warriors the movie, because that's about what
New York is going to turn into. New York City
mayoral front runner Zoron Mom Donnie wants to stop the
enforcement of all misdemeanor offenses. Queen's Assemblymen has campaigned on
(13:40):
the need for police to stop honing in on low
level crimes, you know, like shoplifting, assault without a weapon,
drug possession.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
What could possibly go wrong?
Speaker 8 (13:52):
Police have a critical role to play, but right now
we're relying on them to deal with the failures of
our social safety net, which is preventing them from doing.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Theirs, which is what the New York Post reports. Mam
Donnie is backed by the Democrats Socialist of America, which
calls detention and policing instruments of class war that aim
to dominate the working class. Mam Donnie also wants to
make prostitution legal. The Republican led House Oversight Committee is
(14:20):
issuing new subpoenas for documents being held by the estate
of the late defender Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 9 (14:24):
The committee is moving ahead with its probe into the
disgraced financier with a request for his will and he
documents resembling a client list, any black books containing Epstein's contacts,
flight logs, and an alleged book of birthday letters from
Epstein's friends. According to a letter from committee chair James Comer,
the Epstein estate is ready and willing to provide these documents.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Monday mark the twelve days without a murder in Washington,
d C. Not a bad track record at all. Since
Donald Trump has deployed the federal troops to the city.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Tammy Trehio has the very latest.
Speaker 10 (15:00):
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller praised the
efforts on Fox News Monday.
Speaker 11 (15:04):
President Trump has literally set the people of Washington DC free.
They're so happy now they can just go out and
live their lives. Go to the favorite restaurant, go to
the favorite bar, Go to the favorite pool hall, go
to the favorite park.
Speaker 10 (15:16):
DC police told the Washington Post in March that the
nation's capital went sixteen days without a murder, calling it
the longest period in at least six years. Meanwhile, the
DC Police Union is touting an overall drop in crime
since the arrival of the National Guard compared to the
fourteen days prior to the federal control. It says robbery's
down forty two percent, in violent crime down twenty five percent.
(15:37):
I'm Tammy Truhio.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Little nas X is facing four felonies in connection to
his arrest in Los Angeles last week. The rapper, whose
legal name is Montero Lamar Hill, was arrested early Friday
morning after officers found him walking naked on the street.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
He was wearing cowboy boots at a street comb.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Authority say a Little nas X charged at the responding officer,
but was subdued and taken to a local hospital for
suspicion if possible overdose before being taken to jail. According
to the DA's office, prosecutors charged the musician with three
counts of battery with injury on a police officer, and
one felony count of resisting arrest, none of which would
(16:20):
have been counted in New York City if Mom Donnie
were mayor. According to the CDC, forty nine percent of
US had lofty goals of losing weight this summer.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
How do we do? Pre Tennis has.
Speaker 12 (16:31):
More at one to two pounds of weight loss per week.
Twenty pounds is a ten week plan, and that success
right is between ten and thirty three percent. But the
agency says all is not lost. That summer plan can
become a holiday weight loss plan, and we might just
make it. Health officials say cold weather makes your body
work harder, which makes weight loss easier. Of course, that
(16:52):
Thanksgiving pie is against us. I'm pre Tennis.
Speaker 13 (16:58):
This is PB from White House, and your morning show
is my Morning Show with Michael o'del jorno.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Hi, it's Michael.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Your morning show can be heard on great radio stations
across the country, like News Talk ninety two point one
and six hundred WREC and Memphis, Tennessee, or thirteen hundred
The Patriot in Tulsa, our 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.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Morning is Broken. Now let's make sense of it all.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
It's been twelve days since there's been a murder in DC,
since the President has deployed federal troops to the city.
We had one talk back when I'm time to play it,
but he was making the point. You watched the minute
there's a murder. The Democrats will say, see it didn't work.
Twelve days a pretty good run in and of itself. Meanwhile,
no winner in the powerball jackpot. It'll roll over again
(17:57):
now the jackpot jumps to a staggering eight hundre under
fifteen million dollars, and the President wants the Federal Reserve
Governor Lisa Cook to leave her position. He wants to
fire her. Does he have the ability to fire her?
Maybe we'll find time to ask John Decker that some
big moves in Washington this week. The president faces a
packed week. It'll start with a major cabinet meeting today
(18:20):
and one guy who will be there in person following it,
asking all the tough questions is our White House correspondent,
John Decker inside the West Wing.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Good morning, John, Hey, good morning to you. Michael. Hope
you're doing well today.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Well, I'm not as wrested as you. How dare you
travel the world with the President? Then take a couple
of days off, but you're back just in time. What's
at stake in this cabinet meeting today.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
Well, this is a monthly meeting that the president has
getting updates from each of his cabinet members, and the
President will get a readout from each of those departments
and agencies about what's taking place as far as the
economy's trade and also as you reference the war in Ukraine.
All of that will be discussed and the press will
(19:05):
be in there at the very top of the meeting.
It happens at eleven a m. Eastern time, so we'll
hear from the President in terms of his take on.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
A variety of issues.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah, it's There was a poll I think it was
Rasmussen and basically fifty four percent of voters. I think
it was fifty four. Wait, hang on, let me find it.
I'm going to give the wrong number. It fell down
party line forty six. Well overall, forty two percent of
likely US voters believed Trump's recent meetings are making it
(19:37):
more likely that a peace agreement will achieve be achieved.
Thirty eight percent I believe the deal is less likely.
And then it just falls pretty much down partisan lines.
Forty six percent of voters believe these meetings are generally successful.
Forty five percent didn't think they were successful. And I'll
give you an example, seventy two percent of Republicans considered
the meeting successful, only thirty one percent of Democrats. But
(19:59):
if you take the partisan politics out of it, and
I wish we could do that every day, it really
becomes irrelevant.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Right, You gotta try.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
You can't give away the farm, obviously, but you got
to begin the process. You got to strive for peace.
And that much seemed to have gone well. What is
odd is the mixed signals coming from the foreign ministers
in Russia and whether or not they speak for Trump.
That's part. That's the part that's discouraging for me. How's
(20:28):
the President feeling it went and still is well.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
The President has been asked about this over the course
of the past few days. He recognizes that despite his
talks with both Putin and Anchorage, and Zelensky and the
Oval Office.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
The war continues.
Speaker 8 (20:46):
Russia continues to attack civilian areas of Ukraine on a
daily basis with missile strikes, with drones strikes. So if
that is the marker as to whether or not it
was a successful meeting with Putin, you know, I think
that the results speak for themselves.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
The fighting continues.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Not to mention, no meeting has been set yet with
the Linski and Putin, or a trilateral meeting for that matter.
Closing moments with John Decker, our White House correspondent at
in the West Wing. So the President wants to fire
Lisa Cook. There's some questions as to whether or not
she's committed mortgage fraud.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
But does he have the authority.
Speaker 8 (21:22):
Well, that's a very good question. It will likely be
decided by the federal courts. The federal Reserve governors can
only be fired for quote unquote four cause such as
malth seasans. Now, I certainly think that the idea of
mortgage fraud would fit into the category of malthfeasans. Here's
the issue, and I think anyone would agree with this.
(21:45):
She has been accused of mortgage fraud. Those are the
allegations and I don't think anybody anywhere in this country
should be losing their job just based on an allegation.
Through the allegation, if indeed she committed mortgage fraud, then
I think that president would have every right to remove
LEAs to Cook from her position. But to me, to
(22:05):
just be fired based upon an allegation being put forward,
I think it's premature. And I don't think the President
would like that if he was essentially locked up without
having a criminal trial like he did, he doesn't like
the results of that. But those are the things that
we do in this country. We have due process for everybody. Yeah, yeah,
innocent until proven guilty. All right, Well, the President's got
(22:26):
twelve days with no murder in DC. This is also
a legal question.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Whether you got your eyes on Boston, Baltimore, Chicago, it's
much different. DC falls under the Congress, which he didn't
really quite go through completely. Not so easy just to
go into other cities, but smart to show that law
can be law and order can be achieved, and laws
can be enforced, and it's a shining example for those
(22:53):
cities to look back to their leaders to do the same.
But I don't think it's as easy to send the
National Guard to Chicago as.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
It is DC. Is it?
Speaker 8 (23:02):
You're right, it is it, you know. And the reason
why the President did that here in Washington, d C.
He had the authority, the legal authority to do that.
It's based upon the charter of the District of Columbia.
He does not have that same legal way in which
to deploy the National Guard to places like Baltimore or
Chicago or New York City.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
And it just so.
Speaker 8 (23:25):
Happens that when you think about those places in particular,
all governed by democratic governors, so they're not going to
invite the National Guard into their states likely to deal
with the issue of crime in their states.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
See why I missed you so much, John Decker back
where belongs in the West Wing covering the President today?
Forrest on your morning swift right, miss Jim White, Come
all right, forty two minutes after the hour, if you're
just waking up, these are your top five stories of
the day. The Republican led House Oversight Committee is issuing
a new subpoena for documents that were held by the
(23:59):
estate the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 9 (24:02):
The committee is moving ahead with its probe into the
disgraced financier with the request for his will and he
documents resembling a client list, any black books containing Epstein's contacts,
flight logs, and an alleged book of birthday letters from
Epstein's friends. According to a letter from Committee chair James Comer,
the Epstein estate is ready and willing to provide these documents.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
I'm Brian Shook Well. Monday mark twelve days without a
murder in Washington, d C. Since the President deployed the
federal troops in the city. Tammy Trehil has the very latest.
Speaker 10 (24:35):
White House Deputy Chief of STAF Stephen Miller praised the
efforts on Fox News Monday.
Speaker 11 (24:39):
President Trump has literally set the people of Washington, DC free.
They're so happy now they can just go out and
live their lives. Go to the favorite restaurant, go to

I'm Tammy Truhio sales of.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
A new single family homesload more than expected.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
In July.
Speaker 13 (25:16):
Government figure show new home sales fell to a seasonally
adjusted annual rate of six hundred and fifty two thousand
units last month. Industry analysts say it's another sign the
housing market is struggling as mortgage rates remain high. The
average sales price of new houses sold in July was
just over four hundred and eighty seven thousand dollars. New
home data is seen as an indicator of the broader economy.
(25:38):
I'm at Mattinson.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Most of my audience can stand them, but it does
mark fifty years ago today, Born to Run by Bruce
Springsteen was released.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Chris Caratio has.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
More the studio album first released in nineteen seventy five,
when platinum seven times, earning a place in the Library
of Congress. It comes as US Representative Frank Polone introduces
a House resolution honoring the fiftieth anniversary of the Boss's
(26:11):
iconic album, calling it a way to celebrate the enduring
cultural and musical legacy of one of New Jersey's favorite suns.
The resolution also highlights the importance of federal support for
the arts, along with institutions like the Bruce Springsteen Archives
and Center for American Music. I'm Chris Craschio.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
All right, So Southwest Airlines first starts charging for a bag.
Now they're going to assign seating. Well, here's the latest
changing seating policy for large customers.
Speaker 10 (26:41):
According to the Dallas based airlines, larger passengers who cannot
be accommodated in a single plane seat will be required
to purchase a second seat ahead of time and can
then request a refund after the flight. Refunds can only
be issued if both seats were in the same fair class.
The refund request is made within ninety days, and the
plane would have taken off with at least one extra seat.
The changes are part of southwest broader shift to assigned seating.
(27:03):
There's that to take effect on January twenty seventh, the
next year. I'm tammage for HEO.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I can't help but think about I can't remember what
hurricane it was. It was it was in Florida and
I was flying from DC to Charlotte, and I felt
the plane grunt as it just was powering through the
outer bands of the hurricane. And I had happened to
(27:29):
get a late boarding pass on Southwest, and so when
I got to the only really remaining seat, it was
two very large individuals, and all I can remember is
when I sat down, I was just trying not to
touch either of them because I was in the middle
seat and they were well spilled over into mind. Now
I was thinner than I could have, you know. And
(27:50):
then I remember when that flight got all scary and
bumpy from the hurricane, I just eased into it. There
was something I just I couldn't tell where I ended,
and they began, and I felt the warmth of their
saw like a body pillow. And I sure I was
just taking the turn to this, but it was very
(28:14):
It's very comforting.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
It's your morning show with Michael del Jono.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
I can't have your morning show and wouldn't want to
have your morning show without your voice. It's a conversation
nobody likes to talk with themselves. You can email me
Michael diet iHeartMedia dot com, or use that talkback button
for those of you listening on the iHeart app.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Like Bill down in Tampa. Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 9 (28:36):
I think Mondomi wants to throw New York City into
complete chaos, and then and only then would it be
easy to push Sharia law.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Umm, I'm trying to think. I know in Sharia law
you're not allowed to be gay. I didn't think prostitution
was possible in Sharia law for Islamist that's one of
the he's proposing. I don't know that it is worthy
of note to keep an eye on this guy. Is
he really a Democrat socialist or is he rather a
(29:11):
beginning movement for an Islamist party. You are right to
be suspicious of that and cautious of that. I can
tell you that much. Fifty four percent of voters say
Trump's actions in DC are justified. I can tell you
before I even go past the headline that this is
going to fall into the matrix and write down partisan line.
And that's really where I want to start. Why is
(29:32):
safety and crime a partisan issue? Because the Trump derangement
obsession response to everything he does has to be the opposite.
But can we all agree we're a government of laws
and laws have to be enforced. The alternative is chaos anarchy.
(30:02):
But just as you might have thought. More than half
of the respondents said they believe President Trump's actions aimed
at reducing crime in Washington, DC are justified. Forty six
percent of voters, primarily Democrats, called Trump's actions unjustified and
not necessary. Muggings, rape, murder. Why would you stop that?
(30:28):
I'd even answered that question like that. Opinions on Trump's
strategy to reduce crime in Washington were strongly divided on
party lines, as you can imagine, seventy two percent of
Democrats calling the actions unjustified and not necessary, eighty five
percent of Republicans calling them justified and necessary. Oh, if
only the criminals would just attack one side, so the
(30:54):
Democrats can play this ridiculous, dumb game and yet be
safer because of it. Among independent if you want to
have a middleman, forty seven percent called Trump's actions justified,
Fifty three percent set unjustified. Now we've had this conversation
a million times, and that's what makes.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Polls like this irrelevant.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Law and order, protecting citizens, that is the number one
priority of every municipality, quite frankly, every county and every state,
and collectively the federal government against enemies abroad. And from within,
what if this is all just an analogy. Under his authority,
(31:42):
he can stop the crime, stop the murders in our
nation's capital. Because of the Charter, he cannot go into Boston,
he cannot go into Baltimore, he cannot go into Chicago.
But if he can show everybody, just like he did
at the border, you didn't need a new law, You
just needed a new president. As border crossings went from
(32:05):
ten million to zero a month the last five months,
and now murders in DC's zero for twelve days, the
hope would be, well, that would send a clear message
to Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
You can't make crime partisan politics.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
There's bad guys and they have to be found, they
have to be charged, they have to be convicted, they
have to be locked up. They can't be released, they
can't be ignored. People deserve protection. But the truth is
it's always been partisan. And if you have enough bad
guys in a city you can run on that are
(32:53):
so the disconnect I mean, the hope would be that
these very blue inner city would awaken to the reality
you don't have to live with high murder rates. You
don't have to live with high carjackings and rape and assault.
You just have to prioritize it. And if you did
(33:17):
prioritize your budget, you would keep them safe because you'd
have plenty of money to hire.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
The people.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
That your pawls are plenty for. This Tuesday, August the
twenty eighth.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael, Vindheld Joe
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 starting your morning off right.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
it because we're in this togavin.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
This is your morning show with Michael Bill Chap Thank
you Mike mccannon.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Seven minutes after the hour on this Tuesday drive, Thanks
for bringing us along with you on the Aaron streaming
live on your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show.
I'm Michael Red's staring at his phone with herban in
the background.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Jeffrey keeping the.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Sounds moving, and here are your top stories waking up both.
It's been to days since we've had a murder in
our nation's capital. President Trump's deployment of federal troops seems
to be working like a charm no winner in the
powerball jackpot it now goes to a staggering eight hundred
and fifteen million dollars, which if you won that today
(01:16):
and took the payment plan, maybe you could buy a
car with.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
A thirty six month payment plan, but not likely.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Hey remember the days when a car loan was three
years four years at the most. These days people won't
finish paying off their car until twenty thirty two. Your
morning show national correspondent Roy O'Neil is joining us with
the story of why seven year auto loans Somewhere I
think Dave Ramsey's head just exploded. Seven year auto loans
(01:46):
are becoming the new normal.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Good morning, Rory, I don't want to be nor good morning.
Yeah right, good morning.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
In the second quarter of this year, about one in
five auto loans twenty one percent of them or for
seven year. Look, as you said, the average price of
a car is now just under fifty thousand dollars brand new,
and a lot of people can't make that monthly payment
unless they stretch it out over more time. So seven
(02:13):
years is becoming the new norm, and there are actually
some eight year car loans floating around out there. You know,
there are pluses and minuses to this. Yeah, you get
the smaller payment, but now you are almost trapped in
that car for longer. By the time it's paid off,
its resale value is even lower.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
And then the.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Bigger issue is you're also probably going to hold onto
that car longer, which means you actually end up buying
cars less frequently, which actually could hurt the car.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
But you left out another possible scenario two, and that
is that most people don't keep cars that long. And
then you trade it in and you owe more than
it's worth because the interest is front loaded. Now you're
upside down. I don't think eight years will cover your
next one. I mean, it's just I mean, it's so point.
(03:00):
You know, the Dave Ramsey's been very successful just doing
common sense stuff, right, don't spend money you don't have
U at the point you need to do a seven
year I mean, wouldn't even at least make more sense.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Well, right now.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
You're going to have to run the numbers to figure
out what you're buying and why you're buying. And maybe
you should be able the used car a lot, not
buying new instead. But there are sometimes they have sweeter
offers with the new cars, so it's difficult to figure
it all out. But look, there's also that point in
your life when you're twenty five you find great satisfaction
and driving down the street in the cool car. When
you're fifty five you find great satisfaction and off the
(03:37):
car loan for the last time, going oh oh, and
you know one to write off on. So yeah, it's
a you know, different times of life demand different things.
I guess, all right, so I can't. I can't even believe.
I did see.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
When I was buying I think it was Nick's Nick's car,
that one of the options was seven year, which I
couldn't it was in months, so I had to add
it up. I was just like, that's insane, right, and
now you're telling me eight and what's next? Average aage's
up in four three. All they try to well, they'll
try to sell you that extended one too, but look,
(04:14):
the average monthly car payment these days is seven hundred
and forty five dollars a.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Month, and it's appreciating asset.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I'm afraid I'm going long. Do you have like sixty
more secs? I guess yeah, yes, Okay, Well because one
of the things that you and I did together, and
I know it's been on your radar for a long time,
is insurance has just exploded.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
And a lot of it has to do.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
With the price of replacing the vehicle, all right, because
if they go up, the insurance goes up, and other
things you start adding all together. And at what point
is depending on how I mean. I've seen people buying
new cars that they're not driving but five thousand miles
a year. It's mostly just sitting there. And at some
point uber makes sense, leasing makes sense.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
This, this does and then think of the technolog right,
you want your phone to connect to the car, Well,
you don't know what your phone I.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Call them gazintas and gazatas.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
You know, you don't know what the gazina is going
to look like on the cable of what end it's
a USBC.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
A K who knows?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
So, I mean, how much more outdated will the car
be seven eight years from now because it doesn't keep
up with the technology.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yeah, all great points, all bad signs, not good all right. Well,
if you think your state work's the hardest, the results
when Rory comes back in our third hour may surprise you.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
We've got the hard workers and the slackers.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
When Rory returns, I can't have your morning show without
your voice, and we wouldn't want to. There was one
before Big John. I think it was Roger, wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Do you have Roger? Yes? Yeah, Rogers first, Ry and
Michael Ay.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
You talking about people diminishing what crime is, whether it's
serious enough or not hot, and how to classify it.
I was watching a story of a high tech crime
ring Los Angeles that they just caught, and it seemed
like one of the officials, I don't know if he's
with the police department or not, but he tried to
(06:11):
distinguish it between crimes of need and crimes of greed,
and I really think that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
It's as if they've got a justification for everything but
law and order, isn't it. Now what he's reacting to
is the big story today coming out of the New
York Post. Zoran mom Donnie wants to end all misdemeanor
charges or as the Post took a shout at him
and said, what is this easy pass for criminals? Now,
(06:39):
he's long been a supporter of defunding the police. He
kind is smart enough to back away from that. But
everything adds up to that. Oh, I know how we
can stop crime in New York. We just won't arrest
anybody acknowledge it's a crime, or charge anybody, or jail
anybody for a crime.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Or as our emailer said not long before, why has
come out to play that movie? I would watch that today,
but it would never hold up with it.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I don't know, man, when I was that's a classic man, No,
but I mean thirteen thirteen years old.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
That comes on HBO, you know, with.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
All these gangs, and when that creepy gang wearing Yankee
uniforms with their bats start coming up and they wore
cleates too, as they're running down.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
The streets being baseball. Very nice. Rad Jeffrey had no clue.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
So Mondani and his comrades at the Democrat Socialists of America,
they want to wipe out the enforcement of all misdemeanor offenses.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
And you're like, oh, what's that.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Well, the reason is the platform of the Democrats Socialist
of America who endorse him, of which I think he's
an Islamist more than he's a socialist. They blast policing
in general, detention in general. They are instruments of class
war designed to guarantee that the domination of the working class.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
They demand an end to what it.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Calls criminalization of the working class survival. Getting back to
our caller, can you imagine how they view crime of need?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
For all? You ready for this, You're gonna love this,
for all of the working class. To achieve collective liberation,
we must constrain, diminish, abolish forces of the state, from
prisons to police themselves, to their manifestations and all forms
throughout society. On the campaign trail, Mandani likes to summarize
(08:41):
it by saying, we want to stop the police from
focusing on what he keeps referring to as non serious crimes.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
We had a long discussion about that. We live in
moral relativism right now. There is no absolute truth, There
is no absolute right or wrong. How can anybody make
any kind of broad statement about what is serious or
non serious in terms of crimes. I can tell you
anybody that's been at a crime perpetrated on them feels
like it's serious, whether you beat me with a bottle
(09:10):
or a gun, Mom Donnie. As an assemblyman, he even
questioned the purpose of prisons repeatedly calling for the rollback
of punishment. Critics, of course, remained unconvinced that he can
lead law enforcement and tame the New York City crime.
(09:31):
You know, whether you go through the Democrats, socialists, or
you go through mom Donnie's stump speeches or his past
assembly comments, you never really do hear. They don't want
to get into that that you would literally dial nine
one one.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
There's somebody in my house.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
They're beating up my husband and they're asking me to
get the jewelry.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
And how does that make you feel?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
What?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
How does that make you feel?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
How scared?
Speaker 6 (09:58):
Set it?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Please?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
We don't have police, but we're here to help. We're
a social worker.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Or this ridiculous assumption that, oh, all people are good,
inherently good. No no one's gonna steal, no one's gonna stab,
no one's gonna shoot, nobody's gonna abduct, nobody's gonna rape.
Listen the numbers state, Mam Donnie is gonna win if
(10:25):
he does. What's the future of New York beyond the
funny line warriors come out and play. Seriously, you may
have to get Kurt Russell needs to dust off the
eye patch it's gonna be escaped from New York. Of course,
that's the latest polling. If you go by Big John,
(10:46):
all's gonna be well in the end.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Here's Big John.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
So Big John is saying it right here, right now.
Curtis Leiwa will win in a landslide. He's a silent
majority winner. There's a lot of boats out there for him.
He's hitting every borough. You's got a lot of money
coming in in September.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Curtis Liwa and Snoop Dogg will be attending a gay
animated double feature this week. I hope so from your
lips to God's ears, picked John, I hope so. I
hope so for every resident in New York City. But
it's not looking good at this moment.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
All right.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Eighteen minutes after the hour, listen, if you're living on
credit cards just to cover groceries, gas bills, any surprises,

This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Do you have the creepy sounds of the Rogues? Play
it right now?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Wiors hellow to play?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
And then it was the Lizzies. What was the Yankees
with the cleats and the bats Baseball Furies? Baba, we're
all talking about Warriors the movie, because that's about what
New York is going to turn into. New York City
mayoral front runner Zoron Mom Donnie wants to stop the
enforcement of all misdemeanor offenses. Queen's Assemblymen has campaigned on
(13:40):
the need for police to stop honing in on low
level crimes, you know, like shoplifting, assault without a weapon,
drug possession.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
What could possibly go wrong?
Speaker 8 (13:52):
Police have a critical role to play, but right now
we're relying on them to deal with the failures of
our social safety net, which is preventing them from doing.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Theirs, which is what the New York Post reports. Mam
Donnie is backed by the Democrats Socialist of America, which
calls detention and policing instruments of class war that aim
to dominate the working class. Mam Donnie also wants to
make prostitution legal. The Republican led House Oversight Committee is
(14:20):
issuing new subpoenas for documents being held by the estate
of the late defender Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 9 (14:24):
The committee is moving ahead with its probe into the
disgraced financier with a request for his will and he
documents resembling a client list, any black books containing Epstein's contacts,
flight logs, and an alleged book of birthday letters from
Epstein's friends. According to a letter from committee chair James Comer,
the Epstein estate is ready and willing to provide these documents.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Monday mark the twelve days without a murder in Washington,
d C. Not a bad track record at all. Since
Donald Trump has deployed the federal troops to the city.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Tammy Trehio has the very latest.
Speaker 10 (15:00):
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller praised the
efforts on Fox News Monday.
Speaker 11 (15:04):
President Trump has literally set the people of Washington DC free.
They're so happy now they can just go out and
live their lives. Go to the favorite restaurant, go to
the favorite bar, Go to the favorite pool hall, go
to the favorite park.
Speaker 10 (15:16):
DC police told the Washington Post in March that the
nation's capital went sixteen days without a murder, calling it
the longest period in at least six years. Meanwhile, the
DC Police Union is touting an overall drop in crime
since the arrival of the National Guard compared to the
fourteen days prior to the federal control. It says robbery's
down forty two percent, in violent crime down twenty five percent.
(15:37):
I'm Tammy Truhio.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Little nas X is facing four felonies in connection to
his arrest in Los Angeles last week. The rapper, whose
legal name is Montero Lamar Hill, was arrested early Friday
morning after officers found him walking naked on the street.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
He was wearing cowboy boots at a street comb.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Authority say a Little nas X charged at the responding officer,
but was subdued and taken to a local hospital for
suspicion if possible overdose before being taken to jail. According
to the DA's office, prosecutors charged the musician with three
counts of battery with injury on a police officer, and
one felony count of resisting arrest, none of which would
(16:20):
have been counted in New York City if Mom Donnie
were mayor. According to the CDC, forty nine percent of
US had lofty goals of losing weight this summer.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
How do we do? Pre Tennis has.
Speaker 12 (16:31):
More at one to two pounds of weight loss per week.
Twenty pounds is a ten week plan, and that success
right is between ten and thirty three percent. But the
agency says all is not lost. That summer plan can
become a holiday weight loss plan, and we might just
make it. Health officials say cold weather makes your body
work harder, which makes weight loss easier. Of course, that
(16:52):
Thanksgiving pie is against us. I'm pre Tennis.
Speaker 13 (16:58):
This is PB from White House, and your morning show
is my Morning Show with Michael o'del jorno.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Hi, it's Michael.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Your morning show can be heard on great radio stations
across the country, like News Talk ninety two point one
and six hundred WREC and Memphis, Tennessee, or thirteen hundred
The Patriot in Tulsa, our 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.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Morning is Broken. Now let's make sense of it all.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
It's been twelve days since there's been a murder in DC,
since the President has deployed federal troops to the city.
We had one talk back when I'm time to play it,
but he was making the point. You watched the minute
there's a murder. The Democrats will say, see it didn't work.
Twelve days a pretty good run in and of itself. Meanwhile,
no winner in the powerball jackpot. It'll roll over again
(17:57):
now the jackpot jumps to a staggering eight hundre under
fifteen million dollars, and the President wants the Federal Reserve
Governor Lisa Cook to leave her position. He wants to
fire her. Does he have the ability to fire her?
Maybe we'll find time to ask John Decker that some
big moves in Washington this week. The president faces a
packed week. It'll start with a major cabinet meeting today
(18:20):
and one guy who will be there in person following it,
asking all the tough questions is our White House correspondent,
John Decker inside the West Wing.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Good morning, John, Hey, good morning to you. Michael. Hope
you're doing well today.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Well, I'm not as wrested as you. How dare you
travel the world with the President? Then take a couple
of days off, but you're back just in time. What's
at stake in this cabinet meeting today.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
Well, this is a monthly meeting that the president has
getting updates from each of his cabinet members, and the
President will get a readout from each of those departments
and agencies about what's taking place as far as the
economy's trade and also as you reference the war in Ukraine.
All of that will be discussed and the press will
(19:05):
be in there at the very top of the meeting.
It happens at eleven a m. Eastern time, so we'll
hear from the President in terms of his take on.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
A variety of issues.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah, it's There was a poll I think it was
Rasmussen and basically fifty four percent of voters. I think
it was fifty four. Wait, hang on, let me find it.
I'm going to give the wrong number. It fell down
party line forty six. Well overall, forty two percent of
likely US voters believed Trump's recent meetings are making it
(19:37):
more likely that a peace agreement will achieve be achieved.
Thirty eight percent I believe the deal is less likely.
And then it just falls pretty much down partisan lines.
Forty six percent of voters believe these meetings are generally successful.
Forty five percent didn't think they were successful. And I'll
give you an example, seventy two percent of Republicans considered
the meeting successful, only thirty one percent of Democrats. But
(19:59):
if you take the partisan politics out of it, and
I wish we could do that every day, it really
becomes irrelevant.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Right, You gotta try.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
You can't give away the farm, obviously, but you got
to begin the process. You got to strive for peace.
And that much seemed to have gone well. What is
odd is the mixed signals coming from the foreign ministers
in Russia and whether or not they speak for Trump.
That's part. That's the part that's discouraging for me. How's
(20:28):
the President feeling it went and still is well.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
The President has been asked about this over the course
of the past few days. He recognizes that despite his
talks with both Putin and Anchorage, and Zelensky and the
Oval Office.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
The war continues.
Speaker 8 (20:46):
Russia continues to attack civilian areas of Ukraine on a
daily basis with missile strikes, with drones strikes. So if
that is the marker as to whether or not it
was a successful meeting with Putin, you know, I think
that the results speak for themselves.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
The fighting continues.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Not to mention, no meeting has been set yet with
the Linski and Putin, or a trilateral meeting for that matter.
Closing moments with John Decker, our White House correspondent at
in the West Wing. So the President wants to fire
Lisa Cook. There's some questions as to whether or not
she's committed mortgage fraud.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
But does he have the authority.
Speaker 8 (21:22):
Well, that's a very good question. It will likely be
decided by the federal courts. The federal Reserve governors can
only be fired for quote unquote four cause such as
malth seasans. Now, I certainly think that the idea of
mortgage fraud would fit into the category of malthfeasans. Here's
the issue, and I think anyone would agree with this.
(21:45):
She has been accused of mortgage fraud. Those are the
allegations and I don't think anybody anywhere in this country
should be losing their job just based on an allegation.
Through the allegation, if indeed she committed mortgage fraud, then
I think that president would have every right to remove
LEAs to Cook from her position. But to me, to
(22:05):
just be fired based upon an allegation being put forward,
I think it's premature. And I don't think the President
would like that if he was essentially locked up without
having a criminal trial like he did, he doesn't like
the results of that. But those are the things that
we do in this country. We have due process for everybody. Yeah, yeah,
innocent until proven guilty. All right, Well, the President's got
(22:26):
twelve days with no murder in DC. This is also
a legal question.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Whether you got your eyes on Boston, Baltimore, Chicago, it's
much different. DC falls under the Congress, which he didn't
really quite go through completely. Not so easy just to
go into other cities, but smart to show that law
can be law and order can be achieved, and laws
can be enforced, and it's a shining example for those
(22:53):
cities to look back to their leaders to do the same.
But I don't think it's as easy to send the
National Guard to Chicago as.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
It is DC. Is it?
Speaker 8 (23:02):
You're right, it is it, you know. And the reason
why the President did that here in Washington, d C.
He had the authority, the legal authority to do that.
It's based upon the charter of the District of Columbia.
He does not have that same legal way in which
to deploy the National Guard to places like Baltimore or
Chicago or New York City.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
And it just so.
Speaker 8 (23:25):
Happens that when you think about those places in particular,
all governed by democratic governors, so they're not going to
invite the National Guard into their states likely to deal
with the issue of crime in their states.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
See why I missed you so much, John Decker back
where belongs in the West Wing covering the President today?
Forrest on your morning swift right, miss Jim White, Come
all right, forty two minutes after the hour, if you're
just waking up, these are your top five stories of
the day. The Republican led House Oversight Committee is issuing
a new subpoena for documents that were held by the
(23:59):
estate the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 9 (24:02):
The committee is moving ahead with its probe into the
disgraced financier with the request for his will and he
documents resembling a client list, any black books containing Epstein's contacts,
flight logs, and an alleged book of birthday letters from
Epstein's friends. According to a letter from Committee chair James Comer,
the Epstein estate is ready and willing to provide these documents.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
I'm Brian Shook Well. Monday mark twelve days without a
murder in Washington, d C. Since the President deployed the
federal troops in the city. Tammy Trehil has the very latest.
Speaker 10 (24:35):
White House Deputy Chief of STAF Stephen Miller praised the
efforts on Fox News Monday.
Speaker 11 (24:39):
President Trump has literally set the people of Washington, DC free.
They're so happy now they can just go out and
live their lives. Go to the favorite restaurant, go to
the favorite bar, go to the favorite pool hall, go
to the favorite park.
Speaker 10 (24:51):
DC police told The Washington Post in March that the
nation's capital went sixteen days without a murder, calling it
the longest period in at least six years. Meanwhile, the
d Police Union is touting an overall dropping crime since
the arrival of the National Guard compared to the fourteen
days prior to the federal control. It says robbery is
down forty two percent, in violent crime down twenty five percent.
(25:11):
I'm Tammy Truhio sales of.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
A new single family homesload more than expected.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
In July.
Speaker 13 (25:16):
Government figure show new home sales fell to a seasonally
adjusted annual rate of six hundred and fifty two thousand
units last month. Industry analysts say it's another sign the
housing market is struggling as mortgage rates remain high. The
average sales price of new houses sold in July was
just over four hundred and eighty seven thousand dollars. New
home data is seen as an indicator of the broader economy.
(25:38):
I'm at Mattinson.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Most of my audience can stand them, but it does
mark fifty years ago today, Born to Run by Bruce
Springsteen was released.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Chris Caratio has.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
More the studio album first released in nineteen seventy five,
when platinum seven times, earning a place in the Library
of Congress. It comes as US Representative Frank Polone introduces
a House resolution honoring the fiftieth anniversary of the Boss's
(26:11):
iconic album, calling it a way to celebrate the enduring
cultural and musical legacy of one of New Jersey's favorite suns.
The resolution also highlights the importance of federal support for
the arts, along with institutions like the Bruce Springsteen Archives
and Center for American Music. I'm Chris Craschio.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
All right, So Southwest Airlines first starts charging for a bag.
Now they're going to assign seating. Well, here's the latest
changing seating policy for large customers.
Speaker 10 (26:41):
According to the Dallas based airlines, larger passengers who cannot
be accommodated in a single plane seat will be required
to purchase a second seat ahead of time and can
then request a refund after the flight. Refunds can only
be issued if both seats were in the same fair class.
The refund request is made within ninety days, and the
plane would have taken off with at least one extra seat.
The changes are part of southwest broader shift to assigned seating.
(27:03):
There's that to take effect on January twenty seventh, the
next year. I'm tammage for HEO.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I can't help but think about I can't remember what
hurricane it was. It was it was in Florida and
I was flying from DC to Charlotte, and I felt
the plane grunt as it just was powering through the
outer bands of the hurricane. And I had happened to
(27:29):
get a late boarding pass on Southwest, and so when
I got to the only really remaining seat, it was
two very large individuals, and all I can remember is
when I sat down, I was just trying not to
touch either of them because I was in the middle
seat and they were well spilled over into mind. Now
I was thinner than I could have, you know. And
(27:50):
then I remember when that flight got all scary and
bumpy from the hurricane, I just eased into it. There
was something I just I couldn't tell where I ended,
and they began, and I felt the warmth of their
saw like a body pillow. And I sure I was
just taking the turn to this, but it was very
(28:14):
It's very comforting.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
It's your morning show with Michael del Jono.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
I can't have your morning show and wouldn't want to
have your morning show without your voice. It's a conversation
nobody likes to talk with themselves. You can email me
Michael diet iHeartMedia dot com, or use that talkback button
for those of you listening on the iHeart app.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Like Bill down in Tampa. Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 9 (28:36):
I think Mondomi wants to throw New York City into
complete chaos, and then and only then would it be
easy to push Sharia law.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Umm, I'm trying to think. I know in Sharia law
you're not allowed to be gay. I didn't think prostitution
was possible in Sharia law for Islamist that's one of
the he's proposing. I don't know that it is worthy
of note to keep an eye on this guy. Is
he really a Democrat socialist or is he rather a
(29:11):
beginning movement for an Islamist party. You are right to
be suspicious of that and cautious of that. I can
tell you that much. Fifty four percent of voters say
Trump's actions in DC are justified. I can tell you
before I even go past the headline that this is
going to fall into the matrix and write down partisan line.
And that's really where I want to start. Why is
(29:32):
safety and crime a partisan issue? Because the Trump derangement
obsession response to everything he does has to be the opposite.
But can we all agree we're a government of laws
and laws have to be enforced. The alternative is chaos anarchy.
(30:02):
But just as you might have thought. More than half
of the respondents said they believe President Trump's actions aimed
at reducing crime in Washington, DC are justified. Forty six
percent of voters, primarily Democrats, called Trump's actions unjustified and
not necessary. Muggings, rape, murder. Why would you stop that?
(30:28):
I'd even answered that question like that. Opinions on Trump's
strategy to reduce crime in Washington were strongly divided on
party lines, as you can imagine, seventy two percent of
Democrats calling the actions unjustified and not necessary, eighty five
percent of Republicans calling them justified and necessary. Oh, if
only the criminals would just attack one side, so the
(30:54):
Democrats can play this ridiculous, dumb game and yet be
safer because of it. Among independent if you want to
have a middleman, forty seven percent called Trump's actions justified,
Fifty three percent set unjustified. Now we've had this conversation
a million times, and that's what makes.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Polls like this irrelevant.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Law and order, protecting citizens, that is the number one
priority of every municipality, quite frankly, every county and every state,
and collectively the federal government against enemies abroad. And from within,
what if this is all just an analogy. Under his authority,
(31:42):
he can stop the crime, stop the murders in our
nation's capital. Because of the Charter, he cannot go into Boston,
he cannot go into Baltimore, he cannot go into Chicago.
But if he can show everybody, just like he did
at the border, you didn't need a new law, You
just needed a new president. As border crossings went from
(32:05):
ten million to zero a month the last five months,
and now murders in DC's zero for twelve days, the
hope would be, well, that would send a clear message
to Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
You can't make crime partisan politics.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
There's bad guys and they have to be found, they
have to be charged, they have to be convicted, they
have to be locked up. They can't be released, they
can't be ignored. People deserve protection. But the truth is
it's always been partisan. And if you have enough bad
guys in a city you can run on that are
(32:53):
so the disconnect I mean, the hope would be that
these very blue inner city would awaken to the reality
you don't have to live with high murder rates. You
don't have to live with high carjackings and rape and assault.
You just have to prioritize it. And if you did
(33:17):
prioritize your budget, you would keep them safe because you'd
have plenty of money to hire.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
The people.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
That your pawls are plenty for. This Tuesday, August the
twenty eighth.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
