Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
on great stations across the country like Talk Radio eleven
ninety in Dallas, Fort Worth, Freedom one oh four point
seven and Washington, DC and five point fifty k FYI
and Phoenix, Arizona. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine or take us along on the drive
to work, but as we always say, better late than never.
Enjoy the podcast well two three, starting your morning off right,

(00:24):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael Bill Chorno. Thanks you Mike McCann from the
Chris Berry Studios of iHeart Nashville. This is your morning show.
I am Michael del Jordon. If you're just waking up

(00:45):
to say, hey, kid, Willie Mays gone at the age
of ninety three, the oldest living Hall of Fame or
twelve Golden gloves, twenty four All Star games, six hundred
and sixty home runs, three hundred stolen bases, may be
the greatest baseball player who ever lived. A new study
up by Stanford University shows if you go to bed late,
like Lieutenant Colonel Carafano, it may not be good for

(01:06):
your mental health. And while they fight at home over
bb NETNYA, who coming to speak the Democrats, that is,
the Republicans force a moving forward of sale of weapons
to Israel. I think probably the thing we really need
to focus on is is has Belah on the rise
to take the place of Hamas and escalate the war
in the Middle East. And then what to make of

(01:29):
Vladimir Putin's visit to North Korea and North Korea and
Kim Jonguin's assurance of support his war expanding. Lieutenant Colonel
James Karafano, I think, one of the finest military and
foreign policy minds in the world, joins us to discuss
just that. Good morning, Lieutenant colonel.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah, so this this Putin thing is really really interesting.
It's just in central age. I was in Kurzikstan, but
Putin was in Zbekistan and then he went I think
I got this right. Then he went to Vietnam, or
he's going to North Korea, and then he's going to Vietnam.
So here we are in the middle of a major

(02:08):
summer offensive and a conscription in the Russian military and
an incredible reversal in the Russian market because of a
new range of sanctions on Russian banks and putin literally
and I know this because I talk to the people
in preaching. Literally calls up Luzbekistan and says, hey, I'm

(02:31):
coming for a visit, and they're like okay, and he
shows up. He hangs around for a couple of days.
They do a bunch of stuff to entertain him. That
they sign a meaningless deal on a nuclear plant which
will never get billed. Then he does essentially the same
thing to the North Korean and the Vietnamese. There's no

(02:55):
agenda for these meetings. It's a completely made up trip.
And you know, I know a lot of people are
reading inst this. Oh my god, he's going to literally
he is on a tour of some of the only
countries in the world who will let him in to
do nothing. And you have to ask, what the heck.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Is this modern day saber rattling? Is that what this is?

Speaker 2 (03:21):
No, I don't think so. I think it's literally putin'
you know, I don't know. I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
But it almost you know, it sounds like he's bored
and he seeks to do something, and I think it's
more about showing that he.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Can, you know, he can get out and he can
do things and stuff. But it I think it's out
of weakness, not out of strength on this trip. So
I think a lot of people are misreading this.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Trip all right, So it's not about a war turning
or to impact a battle field as much as his
perception at home. Maybe, I mean, at what point do
they look at Ukraine and go, this is Afghanistan all
over again.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Three months ago? But for real? I mean, I don't
speak Russian, which it was just turning out to be
a great flaw in the world today, right that we
don't none of us speak Russia anymore. But I have
friends that speak Russian and and follow telegram and a
lot of the Russian channels, and they hear this chatter
all the time, and and and the warfront is not

(04:34):
is not going well for the Russians. The offensive as
has literally stalled out. And and you know, they know
the F sixteens are coming. They started, They're already starting
to see the impact of the additional amal on the battlefield.
The G seven was tough against them. The meeting of

(04:58):
the G seven countries, the NATO meeting, the Ministerial Meeting
of Foreign Ministers, was tough against them. They know the
NATO summit, which is coming up in July is not
going to be good for them, So they're not they're
not seeing the cracks and resolve in Western in the

(05:19):
Western world that they expect. Even this notion that's how
Trump's going to come to power and you know, hand
everything over to the Russians, the Russians don't believe and
they're really not seeing that either. I mean, if you
actually unpack the president speech and turning point, it was
actually nothing that he hadn't said before, and nothing that
I think everybody in the world doesn't realize. The notion

(05:41):
that somehow the United States can dump one hundred billion
dollars into Ukraine every year and there's like no plan
for the way. That's not sustainable. We all get that.
That's just common sense, but it's a far cry from
saying that, well, I'm just going to walk away from
the praying with the Russians, walk in and hand it
over to them. That's not what the president said. Prisident
Trump said, so you know, where's the good news here?

(06:05):
And the answer is there's not. Even if you look
at the summit, the peace seller that they had and
you know, they had several countries that didn't sign on
for various reasons. Still, it was really an overwhelming response
from the West. So I think if you're Putin, you're
not having a good day.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
No Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano joining us, all right, So
this kind of falls under the headline of the enemy
of my enemy is my friend. But it's kind of
the fuel for war means mode of an opportunity. The
motives are all Putin, they're not even all Russia, all right.
So it's my belief, and I may be wrong, and
you are far more credible on this topic than me.

(06:46):
But I don't think Vladimir Putin likes that they're not
the Soviet Union. But I think what he's real goal
is to put back together the Russian Empire map. But
that's a driven thing in his mind. There is no
appeal for other enemies of America to get excited about that.
They don't have it out for Ukraine. They don't have
this desire for the Russian Empire map to be reassembled

(07:09):
or the Soviet Union necessarily to come back. Whereas when
we talk about Hamas may be failing and has Billah
waiting in the wings. Yeah, in that case, if radical
Islamic sex begin to unite against Israel and America, that
can fuel escalation. But he doesn't have that fuel because
nobody really cares about the Russian Empire but him.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
So I would say it is more than Putin. You know,
the Fspeed, the Russian intelligence network that ran in the
Soviet Union. It was never really dismantled at the end
of the Cold War. So there is this core of
hard liners, not just Putin, who really think that the
West is the problem and that NATO has to be

(07:54):
destroyed and that they have to They are only secure
if basically they're running all of century Europe. But I
think you're generally right. The Chinese support for Russia is
very transactional.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
It's right, by the way, explain what that. Explain what
that means. Transactional. They only care about money and economy and.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Right, I mean China only came. I mean we all
talk about you know, America first, you know, Europe first, whatever,
But it's different with China. Literally, China is what's in
it for me, and and the only thing that's in
the war in Europe is that it weakens, distracts disorganizes. Uh,

(08:40):
maybe creates strains with the Americans. So and and so
and and what and and really what are the Chinese
really risky? They get cheap oil from the Russians, They're
they're selling stuff to the Russians. I mean, there's not
much downside for them for supporting this, because you know,

(09:02):
there's there's supports. Actually, you know, like many things, it's
very two faces. One hand to say, oh, well, we'd
like the word to stop it. On the other hand,
they're giving the Russians everything they can and then taking
everything from them they can get. So your point on
the Middle East, though, is is interesting. So it's it
benefits the Chinese, the Russians, and the Iranians all to

(09:27):
have this chaos in the Middle East. So they're they're
all in for that, which, weirdly enough, if you think
about it, right, the rise of radical Islam creates threats
for all three obviously, you know, it creates for the
threats for the Chinese if if that radicalism spreads across

(09:47):
Central Asia and in the Western China. Now they're trying
to deal with that by basically killing or destroying every
shred of Muslim life in China. That's start playing. The
Russians have already had one war against Radical Islam and Chechia.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Right and rebels have been a thorn in their side
ever since. And so they like when when Iran you know,
keeps things uh, you know in disarray in the Middle
East or towards America, but they don't want it in
their neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
And all radical Islamis are not necessarily pro Iranian or
pro Shia, and so there's always the risk even as
the the Iranians support Sunni Islamis and il twere in
the Middle East, that that they could turn on them.
So it is kind of you know, playing with fever.

(10:40):
We you know, we've seen this before if you actually
think back to both World War One and World War Two,
Germany tried to enlist radical Islam to you know, set
the Middle East on fire, to turn it against the British.
So this is nothing nothing new. But you know, I

(11:00):
don't think these really are rocket science. You know, we
always say this thing about, well, the Chinese are playing chess,
the Americans are playing checkers, and Bootens playing chess, and
the American player checkers and the Chinese have one hundred
year plan and you know, geranium. But I don't know
if these guys are really master strategies either, because it
is I'm not trying to look it is costing what

(11:23):
it's costing Ukrainian lines, it's costing us a ton of money.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
But on the other hand, and when people when you know,
because some people of the Endless Wars training American utris,
it's like, you know, protecting yourself against enemies isn't cheap.
But what's really hurting us it's the stuff we do
to ourselves. I mean, just look at the headlines. I mean,

(11:50):
the open border thing, I mean, and this amnesty thing,
which is really going to set the if.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
We don't, if we don't have a terrorist attack on
our soil of nine to eleven proportion, it's only the
mercy and grace of God. It would make almost no
military or political sense to me.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
That's the one. And on the other hand, see that
you saw a story the other day about forty two
billion dollars for ice feed Internet, which has done nothing.
You know, I don't how many billions of dollars for
electrical charging stations, of which they created twelve, and our
debt is hitting trillions of dollars. So it's really not
what our enemies are doing to us that I think

(12:31):
right now are our greatest risus what we're doing for us.
So people keep worrying about World War three if World
War three happens, and only because we've created such a
sense of internal weakness and distraction that our enemies think
they can get away with something.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Think, you know, I.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Tend to think more of our divisions at home than
the possibility of a North Korean Russian unity and alliance.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yeah, I really do worry about that. I mean, I
really worry about what we're doing to ourselves. And it's
not even you know, people portray this as kind of
some kind of civil war between right and left, and look,
there aren't sharp differences between the right and left, and
we have very very different ideas. But it's really about
governance because at the end of the day, Okay, maybe

(13:19):
some people would love to put out a gay pride
flag and think, you know, buying a tesla is awesome
find but they're not operationalizing this. I mean, if you
look at these the protests in America, the right, that's
not the American people running to the streets. That is
These are well funded entities and our government is just

(13:43):
letting them effact. This is just the other day about
the rise of anti Semitic climb in the United States
and the complete lack of prosecution and attention of this
from the federal government. So this is about and you know,
I mean, look, I'm not a Republican, I'm not a Democrat,
you know, or I work in a non partisan foundation
on the conservative I get that, but you know, I

(14:03):
want all Americans to prosper it. It's about governance. It's
about the people that are running the country that are
doing this to us, not the people that we've even
politically disagree with.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
People run for leadership, people run for office. Very few
actually governed once they're in it. That's a big problem. Hey,
you can read the great work of James Carafano and
his colleagues at Heritage dot org and we enjoy and
we're so grateful for your time for our weekly visits.
Soutenant colonel, have a great.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Day, Nick, Thank you, my friends.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
This is your morning show with Michael del Tuono from Seattle,
Portland and Sacramento, Tampa to DC to Cleveland with Dallas,
Saint Louis and Nashville in between. This is your morning
show on the Aaron Streaming Live. I am Michael del Jorno.
This week we welcome WMQ and Old Claire Wisconsin News
Talk eight eighty and one oh six point three. Welcome

(14:56):
to your morning show table. Waking up this morning. Top
story is potential and I think most experts would argue
the greatest baseball player whoever lived in one of the
greatest guys has passed. Phil Ferrr has to tails.

Speaker 4 (15:07):
Willie Howard Mays played in the Negro Leagues and then
with the New York Giants in nineteen fifty one until
they moved to San Francisco. Some fans say he was
the greatest to ever wear a major League baseball uniform.
Others say the most exciting. He'll always be remembered for
the catch in the nineteen fifty four World Series. When

(15:35):
he retired, Mays finished third on the all time home
run list with six hundred and sixty. Willie May's dead
at the age of ninety three. I'm Phil Ferrar.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Former President Donald Trump. They're always trying to enforce a
gag order against him. Now the left, in desperation is
trying to put words in his mouth about Milwaukee, and
he addressed that Mark Mayfield has that story.

Speaker 5 (15:56):
While campaigning in the key swing state of Wisconsin on
Tuesday's all the crowd in Racine. It's a complete line
made up by the Democrats ahead of the Republican Convention
next month in the city. Trump also mentioned the videos
of President Biden that critics say show Biden looking confused.
He claimed the videos are embarrassing the US on the
global stage.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
I'm Mark Neefield. A tropical storm warning is now in
effect for the coast of Texas and Mexico. Lisa Taylor
has more.

Speaker 6 (16:21):
This comes as the National Hurricane Center in Miami tracks
potential tropical cyclone one in the Gulf of Mexico. The
system is expected to become a tropical storm by Wednesday
and bring heavy rain and coastal flooding to Texas and
northeastern Mexico. Forecasters are also watching another system near the Bahamas,
but it has a low chance of developing in the
next week or so. I'm Lisa Taylor, and.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
While we're in it under a tropical storm watch, we're
also under an asteroid watch. Pre Taylor has the details.

Speaker 7 (16:49):
NASA has issued an asteroid alert for the planet. They
say a one hundred and ten foot space rock is
barreling toward Earth. It's traveling in over twenty seven thousand
miles per hour, and they say it's due to pass
by June nineteenth. Don't worry. NASA says it'll be more
than three million miles away, so no impact for us,
and you won't be able to see it either. But

(17:09):
they say it's there and it will cruise by again
in another four hundred and sixty three days. I'm pre
Tennis Hi.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
I'm Michael del Journal and your morning show can be
heard live as it's happening five to eight am Central
and six to nine Eastern on great stations like six
twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or Akrons, News Talk six
forty WHLO and Akron, Ohio and News Radio five seventy
WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. Love to be a part of
your morning routine. But we're glad you're here now enjoyed

(17:37):
the podcast. We welcome WMQ News Talk eight eighty and
one oh six point three FM to the Your Morning
Show family. I made a nice cheesy onlet to celebrate
our new home in eau Claire. Welcome to the show.
All right, thirty six minutes after the hour, if you're
just waking up, Willie Mays has passed away at the
age of ninety three. Congress is moving forward, and another
sale of weapons to Israel. Meanwhile, the Democrats are going crazy.

(18:00):
Many are threatened to boycott bb Netanya Who's Joint Session
of Congress visit. And a new study out shows from
Stanford University that those of us that'd like to hoop
with the owls and stay up late, it's not good
for our mental health. Those are just some of the
top stories waking up this morning. Another big, big, big
story of the day as President Biden taking executive action
to give legal protection to about a half a million

(18:22):
undocumented spouses. Who are these people? Is this politics? Is
this pandering for votes? Or is this something desperately needed
in the workforce. John Decker is our White House correspondent
and attorney joining us this morning. Good morning, John, Hey,
Good morning, Michael.

Speaker 8 (18:39):
I hope you're doing well today.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Good We knew this was coming and it has come.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Well, that's right.

Speaker 8 (18:45):
This impacts about half a million individuals, individuals who've been
in the country for at least ten years, have not
committed any crimes, are not a threat to national security,
and this will likely be challenged in the federal courts
in the same way at the president's executive action that
he took two weeks ago, which cuts down on asylum claims,

(19:08):
will also be challenged in the federal courts. But that
being said, this is an action the president took with
less than five months to go until election day.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
All right, so something tells me, Look, I am not
a Republican, just so you know, in full disclosure, I'm
not interested because of worldview, because of policy view, and
being a Democrat. I'm not interested in being a Republican
because they spend as much as the Democrats and quite frankly,
they really live their platform. But this isn't getting by
you either. In fact, there's a third one you could
bring up about being challenged in federal courts, and that

(19:39):
is student loan forgiveness. But you brought up five months
to election. We all know that he's hemorrhaging Hispanic votes,
Black votes. You know, the polls speak for themselves. In
the swing states. He's losing youth vote and they're going
to need campus get out to vote. It doesn't seemingly
look like it's going to be there. The question is,

(19:59):
is this governor answers this politics? And I guess we
asked that question in a culture where perception is the
new reality, right.

Speaker 8 (20:08):
Well, I see this every cycle in which the president
is running for reelection. They take actions in the final
year of the presidency that certainly could have been taken
in the first three and a half years of their presidency.
I see with Republicans and Democrats.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Absolutely that is the norm, you know.

Speaker 8 (20:26):
But the President of taking this action yesterday hacked East Room.
I was there, as were a number of border mayors,
border sheriffs who applaud the president's action that he took yesterday.
They say that this is the humane thing to do
for individuals who are so sort of stuck in limbo. Michael,

(20:48):
if you follow the rules that were in place before
the President took this action, those spouses who are in
the country illegally but married to US citizen would have
to wait out the process in their home country, separated
from their spouse, separated from their children. And that's why
the President, the White House, the Biden campaign, as well

(21:10):
as Democrats also on hand for this event. Talking about
how it was the humane thing to do for these individuals.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Well, I don't have to tell you. If I broke
the law today and I got arrested, and I got
convicted and I went to jail, my family would be
separated from me too. But all right, so let me
ask you this from a political standpoint. So the president
could have, and you bring up a great profound point,
could have in his first year not done ninety three
executive orders that reversed immigration laws. But then in the

(21:40):
waning hours, because he's got a border problem, he decides
to do an executive action to secure the border. Well
that and then he turns right around and does this,
So it sends a mixed message. Does anybody think he's
really achieving anything with Hispanic voters and doing this because
a lot of Hispanics, by the way, are also against
illegal immigration because many of them came here legally.

Speaker 8 (22:01):
Well that's you know, I don't think you can speak
of Latino voters as one full group there. They're from
different places, they have different views on a variety of subjects,
whether you're talking about social issues like abortion or the
economy or immigration. So you can't, you know, paint the
Hispanic community with a broad brush. That being said, there

(22:23):
were Latinos, certainly in the Eastern yesterday, very enthusiastic and
pleased with the President's action that he took yesterday. I
don't know if ultimately it will be beneficial to the president,
but certainly this is a voting block that both former
President Donald Trump and the current President Joe Biden are

(22:43):
reaching out to and will continue to reach out to
leading up to the November election.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
John Decker, White House correspondent who was at the White
House for the announcement yesterday, Thanks so much for joining
us another great day of thanks for Michael, appreciate you
very very much. All Right, you know, it's just it
is what it is. I think the bigger conversation is,
or a bigger frustration is we have campaigns. Used to
be campaigns, Most Americans didn't pay attention until right before elections.

(23:15):
Now the election will be over and we'll immediately start
talking about the next election in four years, do we ever,
govern or We've in forever an election process and therefore
everything is about personality or everything is about political tactics,
and it's never about solving the problems. You know, there's

(23:37):
a big difference between compromise and consensus. And so if
you prioritize national security, that gives you a different perspective
on the border. If you prioritize voting blocks, that gives
you a different perspective on the border. So the biggest
question is do we ever ever really govern anymore? Or

(23:58):
is it always politics, politics, and personality over real solutions.
And while they play these games and don't solve these problems,
make no mistake about it, you're paying for all of them.
Right well, if you're just waking up. Arguably the greatest

(24:19):
baseball player wherever lived, and certainly the oldest living Hall
of Famer, has passed at the age of ninety three,
Willie Mays. Chris Garagio had the formal response from Rob Manford,
the Commissioner of Major League Baseball.

Speaker 9 (24:32):
Manfred said that all of Major League Baseball is in mourning,
adding that his achievements and statistics do not begin to
describe the awe that came with watching May's dominate the
game in every way imaginable will He May spend most
of his twenty two year career playing for the San
Francisco Giants. He ended that career in nineteen seventy three
with six hundred and sixty home runs, and he won
a record tying twelve.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Goal Globe Awards. I'm Chris Caagio with a left. Isn't
trying to put words in the president former president's mouth
about what he said about Milwaukee. They're trying to gag
him from saying anything about what happened in New York.
Lisa Taylor has more.

Speaker 6 (25:05):
The court is maintaining the restrictions following his felony conviction.
Trump's legal teams planned to continue fighting the gag order
imposed by Judge jan Urshan, with a ruling expected soon
on a defense request to lift the order. Trump was
convicted on thirty four counts of falsifying business records related
to a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels. He said
to be sentenced July eleventh. Iinly Se tailor.

get it. Another Kathy writes, good morning, how about those
factory buildings that have gone out of business? A rental
company could simply buy those and then turn them into apartments.

(28:46):
Could be a solution, and it would have that retro look.
Polls are plenty waking up this morning. You know, one
of the questions people often ask themselves. Is the twenty
sixteen map about to appear or the twenty twenty map.
One head Trump win over here Clinton, the other lose
to Joe Biden. Well your latest Real Clear politics poll
of And I don't know that Virginia isn't now a

(29:08):
swing state. New York could potentially be a swing state.
But if the swing states we consider swing states, Arizona, Nevada,
Trump leads by four point six percent in Arizona, he
leads by five point three percent in Nevada. Georgia he
leads by four point eight percent, North Carolina five point
three percent, Pennsylvania now two point three percent. Michigan and

(29:31):
Wisconsin so key to his win over Hillary Clinton. He
now leads by zero point three percent Michigan and zero
point one percent in Wisconsin. The election will not be
held today, but if it were held today on juneteenth,
it would be the twenty sixteen map. Roy O'Neill's joining
us much of the United States. By the way, can
we have a discussion about heat without everybody getting you know,

(29:51):
froffed up over global warming? And I understand some people
make it about that, but the reality is it is
hot and hot in places people aren't used to being hot.
Yes it is.

Speaker 11 (30:04):
You know, You've got these records that are being set
in places like Manchester, New Hampshire, ninety seven degrees to yesterday, Scranton,
Pennsylvania hitting ninety four, beating the old record of ninety three.
But Bradford, Pennsylvania ninety degrees it was the eighty seven
was the old record. And keep in mind, summer doesn't
start until tomorrow, so you know we are. Yeah, it's

(30:25):
been this hot before, but just usually.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Early early on.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
I remember growing up in Chicago and I don't I
don't believe we had air conditioning, which, by the way,
didn't bother us that much because most nights there was nothing.
There was nothing like that cool breeze coming through the
screen and hearing noise outside and you know, and the
smell of fresh air. But I can tell you a
few you know, when we would get in the nineties
or get near one hundred, it was miserable because we

(30:50):
didn't have an air conditioner. You know, we did. These
temperatures are high and areas that aren't used to them,
and that's what makes these big stories. By the way,
I'm always thinking to my listeners in Saint Louis. You know,
Saint Louis right now is sitting eighty nine somewhere around there.
But it's next week they're going to be one hundred.
Even though we're in the news cycle talking about this

(31:11):
heat wave, it actually gets worse over the next week
or so well because the heat is hitting New York.
So therefore it's a national story. That's what's causing it.
Pretty much, that's where the producers live.

Speaker 11 (31:26):
So therefore as they commute from New Jersey to their
New York City studios, boy, it's hot.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
So now it's.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Suddenly the national story because New York is hot. Yeah,
but we've.

Speaker 12 (31:37):
Also got wildfires in California, New Mexico and what will
probably be Tropical Storm Alberto forming later today in the
Gulf of Mexico. It's a huge storm in terms of area,
not particularly powerful, but it is so big it's going
to cause a lot of coastal flooding, maybe even some
interior flooding across Texas.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
I feel like putting in front of a weather map.
There's a there's a heat dome of the Midwest in
the Great Lakes area, and a low pressure system coming
Rory O'Neil slash Willard Scott. There it is all right, Rory,
great reporting, We appreciate it. Thanks for joining us.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
All right.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
So weather, you know, from as you mentioned fires isn't
so much weather but weather related in terms of heat
and conditions and dryness that lead to the fires. And
you've got the tropical storm Mexico Texas under a warning
even as we speak. And then this heat wave really
probably from the Midwest all the way to the upper
East coast. And there's just no simpler way of saying

(32:40):
it than areas that aren't used to being this hot.
And hydration, you know, most of us are terrible about hydration.
I think it's probably one of the biggest health deficiencies
that we have, that and sugar intake and diabetes. But
most of us walk around every day dehydrated. You're supposed
to be drinking and ounces half your body weight, and

(33:01):
then when it's hot like this or if you're outside
and your sweating even more so. Obviously avoid big meals,
lots of fruits and vegetables, many small meals. An hydrate
becomes very key. Stories that we didn't get to today
that I think are worthy of note Fisker has filed

(33:23):
for bankruptcy the electric vehicle maker. Fisker filed the Chapter
eleven Bankruptcy Protection Act for that's the second electric startup
to do so in the last year. I had made
a statement not so long after we launched in November
of last year that for the amount of pressure. Now, look,

(33:48):
if you want an electric car, great, that's your decision.
But when the government gets involved, penalizes other decisions, incentivizes
invests in, that's a story. And I said, this is
becoming like a Solindra for Joe Biden. A Solendro was
when we wanted to get involved in solar heating and

(34:10):
America wasn't interested because America didn't stand homes long enough
to make sense unless you wanted to be off the grid.
And by the way, even if solar did make sense,
China just owned the industry. So all that money lost
your money. The government doesn't have money, it's taxpayer's money.
With Solindro was a huge Obama failure. Is electric vehicles

(34:32):
becoming the Biden failure? Fisker would suggest today it is
