Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's me Michael. Your morning show has heard live
from five to eight am Central, six to nine am Eastern,
three to six am Pacific on great radio stations like
News Radio eleven ninety k EX in Portland, News Talk
five point fifty k f YI and Phoenix, Arizona and
coming soon to Freedom one oh four seven in Washington,
d C. We'd love to have you join us live
in the morning, even take us along on the drive
(00:22):
to work. But better late than never. Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Two three.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Starting your morning off right, thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding.
Not because we're in the stiget. This is your morning
show with Michael O'Dell joining. You know, most mornings I
say there's no place I'd rather be than here serving
all of you on your morning show. But today was different.
(00:50):
Today I almost didn't show up. What happened? What I
had the most incredible dream and it lasted a long
long time. I was hanging out with Larry David and
Jerry Seinfeld No, and we were eating dinner, talking about Israel,
planning a trip, discussing life, cracking jokes, and then I
(01:15):
hear the alarm and I'm like there I am. Do
I say goodbye? Or do I stay my love for
this audience? I left, But it wasn't easy, and Larry's
hair was remarkably accurate. Easy in my dream? How is
there that much to tail floating around in our brains?
(01:35):
Who needs ai? We just need to go to sleep, right,
And just that was That's a good dream. And now
if I could just have one with Johnny Carry that
should be the new question. If you could have lunch
with anybody in a dream, who would it be? Well,
apparently I must have answered it. And with Seinfeld and
Larry David, seriously you bring that. Yeah, that bizarre. That's bizarre,
(01:58):
very realistic too. Wow, I gotta get that skill. That's
a great skill. It is. It's better than think on television.
So I noticed downline that the big thing that's kind
of trending. They say, you know, they take an unflattering
picture of Taylor Swift on stage or she wears you know,
I don't know what you would describe like a baton
(02:20):
twirler outfit while she's singing, So there leaves nothing to
the imagination. But she had like a little little pooch
could have been anything, could have been the angle could
have been gas who knows, but it starts the rumor
is she pregnant with Travis Kelsey's baby, And that's been treading.
Now the latest is pictures of Lady Gaga who stood
(02:41):
up in someone's wedding. Now she either is pregnant or
she's gained a lot of weight. Either way, what happened
to You can't say those things out loud, right, that's risky.
Who hasn't ever put their foot in their mouth? Are
you expecting? And then you're like, no, you can't take
that risk. What if it's travel as Kelsey's well do
(03:03):
you know Tator Swift isn't well pregnant or yeah, Lady Gaga,
I'm not so certain. I mean, I think that might
check out. I mean, she could have gained that much weight.
But how do you just start that without fear of
embarrassing yourself. You don't do that. You don't ask their age,
you don't ask what they do. It's just common sense.
(03:24):
By the way, I'd like to confirm all rumors. I
am six months pregnant. It's great. I don't want you
to think I'm fat, all right, Gift. This obviously came
out in the Special Council's document case. So if you
don't believe that there's political lawfare or political lawfare abuse
(03:46):
going on, well, why did Donald Trump's home get invaded?
Why did he get charges pressed against him? Although it's
going nowhere in his document's case at mar Lago? And
then Joe Biden didn't well, if if you go by
what the Special Council said, well, primarily because he had
very little recollection of even being vice president or when
(04:08):
he was vice president, we just found him too cognitively
impaired to charge. Well, that started a whole other political
debate because if he's too cognitively impaired to be charged,
he's too cognitively impaired to be president twenty fifth Amendment.
They're like, oh no, no, the President's not cognitive impaired. Okay, Well,
then if he's not cognitively impaired and you don't want
(04:29):
to remove him from our office with the twenty fifth Amendment,
then where are the charges? And that's where it just
got left, as things often do politics that lead to nowhere. Well,
here's an interesting headline, and this, by the way, is
in Fox News but comes from the Wall Street Journal.
Biden displays signs of decline in private meetings with congressional leaders.
(04:54):
Let's take a look and see what that says. President
Biden has shown signs a poor cognitive perform ormans in
private meetings with Congressional lawmakers. As his age and mental
acuity continued to come into question ahead of November's presidential
election by eighty one as the oldest person to hold
the presidency, and his faced skepticism from voters and Republican
(05:16):
lawmakers about his ability to do the job. Many Republicans,
even some Democrats, said the president showed his age in
private meetings. This according to The Wall Street Journal, which
spoke with forty five lawmakers and administrative officials about the
president's mental performance. Most of the people interviewed by the
outlet who were critical of Biden's performance were Republicans, although
(05:42):
some Democrats said the president showed his age in several
exchanges they had with him. These interviewees participated in a
meeting with Biden or were briefed, including administrative officials and
other Democrats who did not express concerns about how the
(06:02):
President handled the meeting. And then I guess you know,
the more you read, the more you start thinking well,
how could it be any different in meetings than what
we're seeing in public where he just loses his train
of thought, which happens to all of us as we
get older. So does he lose his train of thought
(06:25):
in meetings? You see him fall asleep on stage? Does
he fall asleep in meetings? And just at what level
is it? He can't walk well on stage, or he
can't walk well when he's getting on the plane, but
he walks well into meetings, And so then you just
(06:48):
begin to think, well, even in this Wall Street Journal report,
even some Democrats are saying they're noticing it. I'm going
to jump on about six paragraphs previously having a reputation
in Washington for being a master negotiator of legislative deals,
possessing great detailed knowledge of issues and insights into the
(07:13):
other side. By the way, these these in general, you
might yell at your radio. I always thought, and I
know he's famous for plagiarizing, but Joe Biden used to
be very sharp. A tough debate, if you will, maybe
(07:35):
loose with some with some quotes, but he was very sharp.
There's no question. You don't even need to read the
rest of this paragraph to know Joe Biden is not
the same Joe Biden was twenty thirty and especially forty
years ago. The question is he capable of being president
(07:55):
of the United States? And that is really something only
the American people can decide. And it's funny, I don't
know that if the election continues to go in the
direction it's going right now, will we look back and
say Joe Biden lost because of he made a mess
(08:18):
of the border. He and Trump both made a mess
of COVID and created inflation and high deficit and debt
and uncertainty in the economy. He had a divided party
that he couldn't please on Israel or as we see
today as a top story on the border, the ACLU
(08:38):
issuing him. Imagine American Civil Liberties Union issuing on behalf
of those trying to break into the country because they
have a right to break into the They have citizen
rights to break into the country and seek as island.
But he can't win on any issue or was it
(08:59):
all long just under the surface. This guy's too old.
I'll tell you why. I asked that I can talk
to you and wax poetically about an outsider referendum election
in twenty sixteen. I can talk about how the Democrats
fought that and blocked that in Bernie Sanders. But at
(09:24):
the end of the day, to cut the conversation short,
is it possible Hillary Clinton didn't become president of the
United States because she was a woman? Well? Never know
that right? Or was she the wrong woman? She was? Hillary?
Sniper fire that didn't happen, emails that were destroyed, laptops
(09:47):
that disappeared. It makes you wonder in the end, well,
we remember this as well, between Israel, the border, and
the economy and a divided party. Did him in or
was it his age and cognitive ability and or just
(10:09):
not allowed to say that out law? Well, now, the
Wall Street Journal's reporting about forty five people who have
met with the president saying it is on the decline,
and by the way, there's four more years to go
if he wins, and does anybody think he's got what
he needs to achieve that. Meanwhile, on this immigration issue,
he's not getting any love from his own party. It's
(10:34):
a lot better than doing nothing, but not as preferable
as passing legislation. Chucky Schumer says, flanked by largely Democrat
elected officials, The White House announced Tuesday that Biden is
taking action on the border because Republicans refuse to, so
(10:54):
he's going to take the necessary steps. He didn't want
to fit the issue, wanted to use it to attack me,
says Joe Biden weeks before the debate. It was an
extremely cynical political move and a complete disservice to the
American people. Well, are we not supposed to connect the
(11:17):
dots that if you could have taken this action yesterday,
you could have taken it a week ago, a month ago,
a year ago, two years ago, three years ago. In fact,
I can't dumb myself down enough to ignore that you
took two hundred and ninety six executive orders, eighty nine
of which reversed Trump policies, which leads to our sound
(11:38):
of the day. I don't think anybody there's no question
this was purely political. The President made it political. That's
a quick sound bite. This is all politics. This has
nothing to do with the financial security of our country,
the homeland security of our country, law and order, a
(11:58):
sovereign nation's right to secure its border duty honor all
that pure politics.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Today, I'm announcing actions to bar migrants who cross our
southern border unlawfully from receiving asylum. Migrants will be restricted
from receiving asylum at our southern border unless they seek
it after entering through an established lawful process. And those
who seek come to the United States legally, for example,
(12:26):
are making an appointment and coming to a port of entry,
asylum will still be available to them, still available.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Now, if it sounds like it's still with loopholes, it is.
If it sounds like, you know, it's just Don Moore
the same. Contrast that with what Ted Cruz said afterwards.
This kind of nails it.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Joe Biden, the Democrats have presided over a criminal invasion
of the United States of America. We are facing the
worst illegal immigration our nation has ever seen. Eleven million
illegal immigrants have come in invited by the Demo crafts.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
When Joe Biden came into office, he.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Inherited the lowest rate of illegal immigration in forty five years.
All he had to do was nothing, just sit there
and stare at the wall. But instead he deliberately broke
the system.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Two hundred and ninety six executive orders that broke it,
one that fixes it, or just moves forward the political
football in a political season. That's your Sound of the Day.
Ted Cruz gets the award. I pretty much. I think
in thirty two seconds, that pretty much summed it up.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chona.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
If you're just waking up your top five stories of
the day. I can't wait to hear how this will work.
The ACLU, who is planning to sue Joe Biden in
the White House over a new policy restricting asylum claims
on the Southern border. Lisa Taylor has details.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
The organization posted on x The move puts tens of
thousands of lives at risk. The Biden administration took executive
action Tuesday, turning away migrants crossing the Southern border illegally
while seeking asylum. The ACLU compared the order to similar
Trump era policies.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I'm Lisa Taylor, American, several Liberties, Union, They're not Citizens.
Primaries took place across five states yesterday Iowa, Montana, New Jersey,
New Mexico, and South Dakota. To no one surprise, Biden
and Trump both won, but in Montana, Republicans selected Trump
backed Tim Sheehey to take on Democratic Senator John Tester.
(14:44):
That's significant because a Donald Trump still has capital and
co tails and b Tester is considered one of the
most vulnerable Democrats in the election cycle. In New Jersey,
Congressman and Kim beat embattled Senator Bob Menendez not a
big shock mande as is facing a trial on federal
bribery charges. For a President Trump is asking the Judge
(15:06):
of New York to lift that gag order. Cas is
over right, Bryan Shook reports.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
In a letter to Judge Wan Mershawn, Trump's lawyers said
the concerns made by the court do not justify the
continued restrictions of President Trump. It also said the case
to lift the gag order is even stronger after President
Biden addressed the verdict and witnesses have publicly talked about
the case. Trump was found guilty of all thirty four
councy faced of falsifying business records to cover up hush
(15:34):
money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels last week. He's
said to be sentenced on July eleventh. I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Well, it's June. It's going to get hotter, but this
is a dangerous heat wave set to hit the West coast.
Tammy Trahilo explained.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
California, Arizona, and southern Nevadica all see record setting temperatures
this week. An excessive heat warning starts today in California's
Central Valley, with temperatures possibly up to one hundred and
eight degrees. Another excessive heat warning goes into effect on
Wednesday and stretches from Las Vegas to the Lake Havasu
area of Arizona. Then on Thursday and Friday, temperatures in Vegas, Phoenix,
(16:07):
and Palm Springs, California are expected to hit a high
of at least one hundred and twelve degrees. I'm Tammy Trihio.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
We've got a shout out to my family at iHeart
Dojokat Gwen Stefani among those who will perform at the
iHeart Music Festival. Other Axelent code include Keith Urban, Kimila Cabello,
and Hosier's I Think I Do We say Hosier. We
never did get the clarification on that. I think it's Hosier, Hosier, Hoosier,
whatever it is. He's got a great bluesy sound and
I love him. The Festal is gonna take place September
(16:36):
twenty and twenty first at the T Mobile Arena in
Los Vegas. It'll be live streamed don Hulu and tickets
for the festival go on sale June fourteenth. And that's
your top five stories of the day. Waking Up, Hi,
It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live on
great radio stations across the country like wilm and w
DOV and Wilmington and Dover, Delaware or wgst AM seven
(16:58):
twenty The Voice in Middle George, We're gonna eat some
blankets coming soon to news Radio six fifty k e NI, Anchorage, Alaska.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine.
Now enjoy the podcast. Michael del Jordan. I was feeling
so good about myself. As you know, I created some
artificial intelligence headshots of myself. I got the Yellowstone met
(17:20):
Cowboy me, Yeah, whimsical me out on the ocean, golfer,
me got the Bradley. I was so excited about my
nineteen thirties Hollywood headshot because I thought I looked like
James Cagney and you go, h James Cagney or Lou Costello.
Oh you do? And now all I can see is
lu Costello. Thanks to you hey, yeah, bet so, maybe
(17:42):
not feeling so good about myself? All right, if you're
just waking up. What can we do to protect our
kids from these phones from the internet. Here comes the
government to the rescue. New York may soon pass a
law where parental consent would be needed for social media
companies to serve automated feeds and late night notifications. Aaron,
(18:04):
the facts are in and we know what phones are
doing to kids, interrupting sleep, brain development, giving them poor
self image that is leading to eating disorders, depression, loneliness, suicide.
We got to do something. Is this going to help? Yes?
Speaker 9 (18:20):
So well, is it going to help?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
That's the question.
Speaker 9 (18:22):
I can't say yes categorically, but we know that New
York State is weighing this landmark legislation. It's going to
prevent tech platforms, the Instagrams, the tiktoks, of using algorithms
for social.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Media feeds for kids.
Speaker 9 (18:35):
So what it will do is that it will give
you the feed chronologically. That will be the stream as
opposed to algorithmically, which makes it much more stickier and
much more addictive. And it will also not allow the
social media companies to send updates to kids between the
hours of midnight and six am. All I can say
is like, wait, can you make my phone do that too?
(18:57):
I want to sign up, I want my feed chronologically,
and no one needs me between midnight and.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Six Well, somebody in the house has got to be
not addicted. If the parents are, they're bad, and the
kids got to you know, pay the bills late at night.
Speaker 9 (19:07):
The right Yeah, exactly, No, I personally I applaud this.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
The interesting part is the state level versus the federal level.
And then you know, because I think at some point
this is going to probably have to be addressed federally,
but we certainly don't want it where some kids are
more prone to being you know, predatory tactics than others
(19:33):
based on the state that their parents chose to live in.
So but but I do love it, and I love
the time because we know that a lot of this
is happening and interrupting suite sleep. But yeah, the addictive nature.
First of all, all these algorithms were designed to get
us to use the product and use it longer. By
the way, we're in the radio business. Our job technically
is to get you to listen and then keep you
(19:54):
listening longer or coming back and making more appointments with us,
so more a case or longer each occasion. That's just
a business model. The problem was these algorithms never stopped learning,
never stop perfecting, and they achieved the goal a lot
better than radio. I don't have to tell you times
been viewing his way up.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Listen.
Speaker 9 (20:16):
It's a problem, and I think that Congress is dragging
their feet, which is not surprising. So states have taken
us up. But if there was ever a thing that
is bipartisan, it's keeping our kids safe on social media.
You have California looking at similar legislation, South Carolina, Minnesota.
We're talking about states on different sides. And if you
look at Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, he actually signed
(20:37):
a law in March that prohibits anyone under the age
of fourteen from having social media, regardless to parental consent. Now,
many would argue that that's a huge government overreach. Listen,
if it just takes the onus off of you know
a lot of people for having to enforce us with
(20:57):
their kids, You're like, no, but it's a law. Sorry, guys,
But I get at the same time, regardless of parental consent,
that's the same as taking anything out, and that does
not sit well with a lot of people, particularly independent
minded ones. So again Congress is dragging their feet. States
have to pick this up. If federal lawmakers on both
parties are going to grill the CEOs but then never
(21:17):
have specific legislative plans to address it, there's an issue,
and the states are picking it up now.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
Opponents of this, they say that.
Speaker 9 (21:24):
That feed, that algorithmic feed, it helps filter harmful speech,
and this infringes on First Amendment rights. Industry groups say
that media literacy would be better. I have I'm so
interested to hear the legal arguments around this, because, as
someone who always falls on the side of a gyues
First Amendment is wildly important free speech. I don't understand
how you can argue that like an algorithm is free
(21:47):
speech and has constitutional rights. Like I get that the
company owns the algorithm, but wouldn't it be more for
some supposed to have a chronologial doesn't.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Some of us become somewhat of a distractive waltz in that?
All right, even this it's a start. You know, you
got to give credit, some credit to New York. They're
trying to do something that's a step in the right direction.
It seems more disruptive, more of a disrupting for disruptive
force than a solution. I mean, ultimately, what we're battling
(22:17):
is ourself. By the way, the internet only does what
our mind already does. So you you ask yourself a question.
This is a powerful thing about our mind. You stand
in a mirror and you go, why am I so ugly?
Your brain is going to answer. It's going to start
telling you all your flaws. So you know, we have
to protect ourselves first and foremost with our thoughts and
(22:40):
where we allow them to go. What happens on the
internet is if a kid is having self esteem issues
or appearance issues, it starts looking at certain topics and
then the algorithm picks up on that and starts feeding it.
If you go to mind, it's very revealing and it's embarrassing.
You will constantly see either homes for sale because I'm
(23:01):
always looking at homes in different regions of the country,
or you will see boats for sale. Why because it
knows I'm dying to buy a boat, and I'm always
looking at forty foot cruisers, you know, to buy. So
that's very revealing. Now do I need to be focused
on that and distracted by that?
Speaker 9 (23:15):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Do I need to be spending money on that? No,
But that's where my mind goes. The problem is kids.
And remember us when we were kids. Remember how insecure
we were walking around in third grade, self conscious about everything,
our clothes, our hair, how people were looking at us
if somebody made a joke about us. So you go
online and you start picking at some of this stuff, Well,
guess what. These algorithms will feed it, feed it even
(23:38):
better than your mind. That's why I've often said these
algorithms in the Internet and the social dilemma, I think
Satan gets to take half a century off the internet
will do the work for them. Who's going to you?
Gotta parents got to protect kids, and kids are going
to learn to protect themselves. It's just that simple. And
will they and will they?
Speaker 9 (23:58):
And also I think I think you have to take
into consideration that kids' brains aren't developed until your brain's five. Yeah, Like,
so it's not really like being like, Nope, it's up
to the kids. It's like, well, it's up to the parents.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
Stuff to the kids.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
And we're also navigating waters we've never swam in. Before,
so it's it's a difficult one to square. And then again,
I'm most interested to hear the legal arguments around this,
because how someone's going to make a really good argument
for an algorithm having a constitutional right and then someone's
going to say, that's a preposterous statement in and of itself,
and how do you I don't know, I don't I
(24:34):
don't know. So it's like, as a journalist, you listen,
you learn, and I'm excited to hear the debates around
this because the rebuttal is strong. Is media literacy important,
Of course it.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Is, and that'll all be fascinating, But I think the
cultural and human ramifications are would capture my attention because
you know, at the end of the day, like take
radio for example, there's seven eight I mean, first of all,
there's thousands the stories every morning when I wake up,
I got to kind of think, for my listeners, what
do they need to know, you know, what do they
(25:07):
need to know about the narrative cycle? What do they
need to know about what's really happening so they can
connect dots, they can anticipate the future. Somebody's got to
make that decision, and then I got to execute one
of them, but I can only execute them one at
a time. What the Internet can do is Taylor make
all the products specifically for you, real after real after real,
article after article, video, influencer after influencer. That's impossible. That's
(25:29):
a powerful force. I mean the marketing advantage of that
to get people to keep going to it and staying longer,
which it was designed to do. But what's the result.
All very destructive, destructive. We're not living, we're projecting, and
we're not interacting. We're lonely and we're not happy. We're
(25:51):
very depressed, and it is leading to very destructive behavior.
So something's got to be done. But I don't know.
These are all like, I don't one shutter when a
hurricane's on the way protecting one window. I don't know
the door is vulnerable and all the other windows are vulnerable.
I'm out of analogies, but I guess it's a start
in the right direction.
Speaker 9 (26:11):
We'll see, we absolutely will see. And again, few things
are bipartisan. This one seems to be.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
It seems to be. Aaron Rayel, thanks for your time.
We'll talk again tomorrow. Good reporting today, All right, if
you're just waking up, these are your top five stories
of the day narratives speaking. Although Jerry finally got to
see Hunter Biden's infamous laptop as day three of his
trial continued in Delaware, Lisa Taylor has that story.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
The president's son is accused of illegally buying and possessing
a gun while being addicted to drugs. In twenty eighteen,
an FBI witness explained on the stand how prosecutors obtained
evidence of Hunter Biden's drug use on the laptop. The
computer was a focal point of the twenty twenty election,
with Donald Trump claiming it contained damaging emails about President Biden,
while Biden maintained it could be fake and part of
Russian election interference. It marks the first time in US
(27:02):
history the child of a sitting president has gone on trial.
Biden has pleaded not guilty to the three charges. I'm
li Se Taylor.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
As for former President Donald Trump, He's wanting to know
and asking a judge enough of this gag order. The
trial's over. Brian Shook reports.
Speaker 7 (27:17):
In a letter to Judge Wanmrshawn Trump's lawyers said the
concerns made by the court do not justify the continued
restrictions of President Trump. It also said the case to
lift the gag order is even stronger after President Biden
addressed the verdict, and witnesses have publicly talked about the case.
Trump was found guilty of all thirty four councy faced
(27:38):
of falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments
to porn actress Stormy Daniels last week. He's said to
be sentenced on July eleventh. I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
So Biden's big executive order concerning the border. Is that
a national security action? Was that a law and order action?
Or was that a political move? I'll let you decide.
Mark Mayfield reports.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
That Biden has signed an executive order to limit the
flow of migrants at the US Mexico border. In remarks
from the White House, Biden said he made the decision
after Congress failed to pass a bipartisan border bill earlier
this year.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
We came to a clear bipartisan deal. It was the
strongest border security agreement in decades. Then the public is
in Congress, not all of it walked away from it.
Why because Donald Trump told them to.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
The move prohibits migrants who crossed the US Mexico border
illegally from requesting asylum once the number of daily encounters
tops twenty five hundred between official ports of entry. Polling
hash owned most Americans disapprove of Biden's handling of immigration,
as border crossings surge and former President Trump asking the
judge in his New York hush money case to terminate
the gang order against him because the trial is finished.
(28:48):
In a letter to Judge Wanmer Schawan, Trump's lawyer said
the concerns made by the court do not justify the
continued restrictions of former President Trump. That's politics. Mark Mayfield,
NBC News Radio.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
One of the real reasons to do something at the border,
and do something permanent and impactful is you've learned something
since nine to eleven. But it doesn't appear though we have.
Even the Attorney General agrees we're vulnerable to a terrorist attack.
I am worried about the possibility of a terrorist attack
in the country.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
After October seventh, the threat level for US has gone
up enormously every morning.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
He told Congress and the hearing that the FBI is
closely tracking migrants whose names pop up on the FBI's
terror screening database. So far this year, there's been eighty
arrested along the southern border with terrorist ties. Martha the
Vandellas would make this sound so good it would even
kick off fifty minutes of NonStop music, But it's not
fun to live. A dangerous heat wave hitting the West coast. Tabu,
(29:48):
Trijhilo has more.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
California, Arizona, and southern Nevadica all see record setting temperatures
this week. An excessive heat warning starts today in California's
Central Valley, with temperatures possibly up to one hundred and
eight degrees. Another excessive heat warning goes into effect on
Wednesday and stretches from Las Vegas to the Lake Havisu
area of Arizona. Then on Thursday and Friday, temperatures in Vegas, Phoenix,
(30:09):
and Palm Springs, California are expected to hit a high
of at least one hundred and twelve degrees. I'm Tammy Trihio.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
I blame my son. I blame my Sonny. I abandoned
the NBA for decades, and I was peaceful and I
was happy. Now he's got me addicted again. Is it
ever gonna be? Thursday Night, the Mavericks and the Celtics
NBA Finals Game one finally here tomorrow night. I think
(30:38):
this is gonna be an epic matchup. NHL Stanley Cup
Finals will get underway on Saturday with Edmonton and Florida.
I think I like the Oilers in that one. Game
one will be Saturday night at seven o'clock. All in all,
we were four and three yesterday your morning show. Cities
in Major League Baseball d Backs one, Guardians one, Mariners one,
Raise one, the Cardinals loss the Nats law, and the
(31:00):
Rangers loss to the Tigers. That's embarrassing. Birthdays today. Patriots
owner Robert Kraft is eighty three years old. I don't
think he dare gets a massage on his birthday. Well.
Actor Mark Wahlberg probably one of my favorites. I think, yeah,
he's really good. Love Invincible, I love every movie. Mix
(31:20):
hasn't made a bad one, Marky Mark. Mark Wahlberg is
fifty three years old, and sax Man Kenny G. We
don't have any Kenny G for rejoined Doo. No, we
probably shouldn't. Yeah, I think I agree with you. Okay,
happy birthday, but really didn't care for your stuff. Sixty
eight years old and if it's your birthday, happy birthday.
We're so glad you were born.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael Hill.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Joan though, thanks for taking us along for the drive
in your gray car. I don't know. I just did inventory.
Roy O'Neil is joining us in the del journer home.
We have two blue, two red, one white, red, white
and blue. Baby. We're American, but that's not the case
for most Americans. A lot of drab colors of vehicles.
What's up with that? I love this story.
Speaker 10 (32:02):
Right now, only twenty percent of cars are not gray scale,
so eighty percent or white, black, gray, and silver. It
was forty percent of cars that had the broader colors
just twenty years ago. So we've seen our real narrowing
out there and what the consumer is driving. In part
because well, it's easier for inventory management when the makers
(32:24):
get the cars out to dealerships. Also because when we
sell the car back to the dealer for a trade in,
you might not as good as much for your car
if it's purple or orange or something.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, So traditionally, wasn't it black was the top resale value?
I think traditionally, yeah, I don't have the resale value numbers.
Speaker 10 (32:43):
But yeah, black and white are typically the most common,
and then it depends on the kind of vehicle. If
it's a truck right now, white is the most common.
If it's a sports car, you'll start to see more
of the colors.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Yeah, but I mean, if if gray doesn't pop up
on the why make so much gray? If gray doesn't
seem to do so well in resale?
Speaker 10 (33:05):
Oh well no, but the problem is the orange and
the yellows and the browns.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
And the gold gold. That's well, there's a really there's
a really bad orange out there, circular. It's kind of
like an orange e rust. I don't get that one.
Speaker 10 (33:20):
We're seeing a lot of these she has made, you know,
on the on the fake jeeps.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
You know it's a jeep, but it's not really a jeep.
Jep jeep. Uh, it's a sedan that's higher up.
Speaker 10 (33:30):
But they really experimented with some pretty bold colors.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Yeah, man, but I mean it's all in the eye
of the beholder.
Speaker 10 (33:36):
But I guess you what was your first What was
the color of your first car?
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Are you ready? It was a two tone Mustang, so
it was red with a black hood. I think that
there was black somewhere else. I can't remember if it
was the trunk, Yeah, that was my What about yours?
Bright bright, almost neon yellow? Although two of my favorite
cars were gray.
Speaker 10 (34:00):
One the original Swagon rat, Yeah, Volkswagen Rabbit Deesel.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
I learned on a Volkswagen Beetle. But yeah, one of
my grays was a Honda Cord, an early Honda Cord
in the eighties. And then I had a Mercedes that
was gray. That an SUV that I loved.
Speaker 10 (34:14):
But yeah, right now my car is dark red maroon ish,
but my last two were white and silver.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
All right, why all the gray? There's your answer? So
it's what eighty six eighty percent or gray, white or silver?
Speaker 10 (34:27):
Eighty percent of cars or silver, gray, black and white.
Only twenty percent have color. That's a drop by half
in just twenty years.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
All right, Well, Fauci didn't have a good day on
the hill and Marck Garland had a pretty frank grilling
yesterday on the Hill, and R will be back with
that story in the next hour.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
This is James from Greenwood, South Carolina, and my morning
show is your morning show.
Speaker 10 (34:47):
But Michael does Ornam
Hey, it's me Michael. Your morning show has heard live
from five to eight am Central, six to nine am Eastern,
three to six am Pacific on great radio stations like
News Radio eleven ninety k EX in Portland, News Talk
five point fifty k f YI and Phoenix, Arizona and
coming soon to Freedom one oh four seven in Washington,
d C. We'd love to have you join us live
in the morning, even take us along on the drive
(00:22):
to work. But better late than never. Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Two three.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Starting your morning off right, thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding.
Not because we're in the stiget. This is your morning
show with Michael O'Dell joining. You know, most mornings I
say there's no place I'd rather be than here serving
all of you on your morning show. But today was different.
(00:50):
Today I almost didn't show up. What happened? What I
had the most incredible dream and it lasted a long
long time. I was hanging out with Larry David and
Jerry Seinfeld No, and we were eating dinner, talking about Israel,
planning a trip, discussing life, cracking jokes, and then I
(01:15):
hear the alarm and I'm like there I am. Do
I say goodbye? Or do I stay my love for
this audience? I left, But it wasn't easy, and Larry's
hair was remarkably accurate. Easy in my dream? How is
there that much to tail floating around in our brains?
(01:35):
Who needs ai? We just need to go to sleep, right,
And just that was That's a good dream. And now
if I could just have one with Johnny Carry that
should be the new question. If you could have lunch
with anybody in a dream, who would it be? Well,
apparently I must have answered it. And with Seinfeld and
Larry David, seriously you bring that. Yeah, that bizarre. That's bizarre,
(01:58):
very realistic too. Wow, I gotta get that skill. That's
a great skill. It is. It's better than think on television.
So I noticed downline that the big thing that's kind
of trending. They say, you know, they take an unflattering
picture of Taylor Swift on stage or she wears you know,
I don't know what you would describe like a baton
(02:20):
twirler outfit while she's singing, So there leaves nothing to
the imagination. But she had like a little little pooch
could have been anything, could have been the angle could
have been gas who knows, but it starts the rumor
is she pregnant with Travis Kelsey's baby, And that's been treading.
Now the latest is pictures of Lady Gaga who stood
(02:41):
up in someone's wedding. Now she either is pregnant or
she's gained a lot of weight. Either way, what happened
to You can't say those things out loud, right, that's risky.
Who hasn't ever put their foot in their mouth? Are
you expecting? And then you're like, no, you can't take
that risk. What if it's travel as Kelsey's well do
(03:03):
you know Tator Swift isn't well pregnant or yeah, Lady Gaga,
I'm not so certain. I mean, I think that might
check out. I mean, she could have gained that much weight.
But how do you just start that without fear of
embarrassing yourself. You don't do that. You don't ask their age,
you don't ask what they do. It's just common sense.
(03:24):
By the way, I'd like to confirm all rumors. I
am six months pregnant. It's great. I don't want you
to think I'm fat, all right, Gift. This obviously came
out in the Special Council's document case. So if you
don't believe that there's political lawfare or political lawfare abuse
(03:46):
going on, well, why did Donald Trump's home get invaded?
Why did he get charges pressed against him? Although it's
going nowhere in his document's case at mar Lago? And
then Joe Biden didn't well, if if you go by
what the Special Council said, well, primarily because he had
very little recollection of even being vice president or when
(04:08):
he was vice president, we just found him too cognitively
impaired to charge. Well, that started a whole other political
debate because if he's too cognitively impaired to be charged,
he's too cognitively impaired to be president twenty fifth Amendment.
They're like, oh no, no, the President's not cognitive impaired. Okay, Well,
then if he's not cognitively impaired and you don't want
(04:29):
to remove him from our office with the twenty fifth Amendment,
then where are the charges? And that's where it just
got left, as things often do politics that lead to nowhere. Well,
here's an interesting headline, and this, by the way, is
in Fox News but comes from the Wall Street Journal.
Biden displays signs of decline in private meetings with congressional leaders.
(04:54):
Let's take a look and see what that says. President
Biden has shown signs a poor cognitive perform ormans in
private meetings with Congressional lawmakers. As his age and mental
acuity continued to come into question ahead of November's presidential
election by eighty one as the oldest person to hold
the presidency, and his faced skepticism from voters and Republican
(05:16):
lawmakers about his ability to do the job. Many Republicans,
even some Democrats, said the president showed his age in
private meetings. This according to The Wall Street Journal, which
spoke with forty five lawmakers and administrative officials about the
president's mental performance. Most of the people interviewed by the
outlet who were critical of Biden's performance were Republicans, although
(05:42):
some Democrats said the president showed his age in several
exchanges they had with him. These interviewees participated in a
meeting with Biden or were briefed, including administrative officials and
other Democrats who did not express concerns about how the
(06:02):
President handled the meeting. And then I guess you know,
the more you read, the more you start thinking well,
how could it be any different in meetings than what
we're seeing in public where he just loses his train
of thought, which happens to all of us as we
get older. So does he lose his train of thought
(06:25):
in meetings? You see him fall asleep on stage? Does
he fall asleep in meetings? And just at what level
is it? He can't walk well on stage, or he
can't walk well when he's getting on the plane, but
he walks well into meetings, And so then you just
(06:48):
begin to think, well, even in this Wall Street Journal report,
even some Democrats are saying they're noticing it. I'm going
to jump on about six paragraphs previously having a reputation
in Washington for being a master negotiator of legislative deals,
possessing great detailed knowledge of issues and insights into the
(07:13):
other side. By the way, these these in general, you
might yell at your radio. I always thought, and I
know he's famous for plagiarizing, but Joe Biden used to
be very sharp. A tough debate, if you will, maybe
(07:35):
loose with some with some quotes, but he was very sharp.
There's no question. You don't even need to read the
rest of this paragraph to know Joe Biden is not
the same Joe Biden was twenty thirty and especially forty
years ago. The question is he capable of being president
(07:55):
of the United States? And that is really something only
the American people can decide. And it's funny, I don't
know that if the election continues to go in the
direction it's going right now, will we look back and
say Joe Biden lost because of he made a mess
(08:18):
of the border. He and Trump both made a mess
of COVID and created inflation and high deficit and debt
and uncertainty in the economy. He had a divided party
that he couldn't please on Israel or as we see
today as a top story on the border, the ACLU
(08:38):
issuing him. Imagine American Civil Liberties Union issuing on behalf
of those trying to break into the country because they
have a right to break into the They have citizen
rights to break into the country and seek as island.
But he can't win on any issue or was it
(08:59):
all long just under the surface. This guy's too old.
I'll tell you why. I asked that I can talk
to you and wax poetically about an outsider referendum election
in twenty sixteen. I can talk about how the Democrats
fought that and blocked that in Bernie Sanders. But at
(09:24):
the end of the day, to cut the conversation short,
is it possible Hillary Clinton didn't become president of the
United States because she was a woman? Well? Never know
that right? Or was she the wrong woman? She was? Hillary?
Sniper fire that didn't happen, emails that were destroyed, laptops
(09:47):
that disappeared. It makes you wonder in the end, well,
we remember this as well, between Israel, the border, and
the economy and a divided party. Did him in or
was it his age and cognitive ability and or just
(10:09):
not allowed to say that out law? Well, now, the
Wall Street Journal's reporting about forty five people who have
met with the president saying it is on the decline,
and by the way, there's four more years to go
if he wins, and does anybody think he's got what
he needs to achieve that. Meanwhile, on this immigration issue,
he's not getting any love from his own party. It's
(10:34):
a lot better than doing nothing, but not as preferable
as passing legislation. Chucky Schumer says, flanked by largely Democrat
elected officials, The White House announced Tuesday that Biden is
taking action on the border because Republicans refuse to, so
(10:54):
he's going to take the necessary steps. He didn't want
to fit the issue, wanted to use it to attack me,
says Joe Biden weeks before the debate. It was an
extremely cynical political move and a complete disservice to the
American people. Well, are we not supposed to connect the
(11:17):
dots that if you could have taken this action yesterday,
you could have taken it a week ago, a month ago,
a year ago, two years ago, three years ago. In fact,
I can't dumb myself down enough to ignore that you
took two hundred and ninety six executive orders, eighty nine
of which reversed Trump policies, which leads to our sound
(11:38):
of the day. I don't think anybody there's no question
this was purely political. The President made it political. That's
a quick sound bite. This is all politics. This has
nothing to do with the financial security of our country,
the homeland security of our country, law and order, a
(11:58):
sovereign nation's right to secure its border duty honor all
that pure politics.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Today, I'm announcing actions to bar migrants who cross our
southern border unlawfully from receiving asylum. Migrants will be restricted
from receiving asylum at our southern border unless they seek
it after entering through an established lawful process. And those
who seek come to the United States legally, for example,
(12:26):
are making an appointment and coming to a port of entry,
asylum will still be available to them, still available.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Now, if it sounds like it's still with loopholes, it is.
If it sounds like, you know, it's just Don Moore
the same. Contrast that with what Ted Cruz said afterwards.
This kind of nails it.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Joe Biden, the Democrats have presided over a criminal invasion
of the United States of America. We are facing the
worst illegal immigration our nation has ever seen. Eleven million
illegal immigrants have come in invited by the Demo crafts.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
When Joe Biden came into office, he.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Inherited the lowest rate of illegal immigration in forty five years.
All he had to do was nothing, just sit there
and stare at the wall. But instead he deliberately broke
the system.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Two hundred and ninety six executive orders that broke it,
one that fixes it, or just moves forward the political
football in a political season. That's your Sound of the Day.
Ted Cruz gets the award. I pretty much. I think
in thirty two seconds, that pretty much summed it up.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chona.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
If you're just waking up your top five stories of
the day. I can't wait to hear how this will work.
The ACLU, who is planning to sue Joe Biden in
the White House over a new policy restricting asylum claims
on the Southern border. Lisa Taylor has details.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
The organization posted on x The move puts tens of
thousands of lives at risk. The Biden administration took executive
action Tuesday, turning away migrants crossing the Southern border illegally
while seeking asylum. The ACLU compared the order to similar
Trump era policies.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I'm Lisa Taylor, American, several Liberties, Union, They're not Citizens.
Primaries took place across five states yesterday Iowa, Montana, New Jersey,
New Mexico, and South Dakota. To no one surprise, Biden
and Trump both won, but in Montana, Republicans selected Trump
backed Tim Sheehey to take on Democratic Senator John Tester.
(14:44):
That's significant because a Donald Trump still has capital and
co tails and b Tester is considered one of the
most vulnerable Democrats in the election cycle. In New Jersey,
Congressman and Kim beat embattled Senator Bob Menendez not a
big shock mande as is facing a trial on federal
bribery charges. For a President Trump is asking the Judge
(15:06):
of New York to lift that gag order. Cas is
over right, Bryan Shook reports.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
In a letter to Judge Wan Mershawn, Trump's lawyers said
the concerns made by the court do not justify the
continued restrictions of President Trump. It also said the case
to lift the gag order is even stronger after President
Biden addressed the verdict and witnesses have publicly talked about
the case. Trump was found guilty of all thirty four
councy faced of falsifying business records to cover up hush
(15:34):
money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels last week. He's
said to be sentenced on July eleventh. I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (15:42):

It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live on

We'd love to be a part of your morning routine.
Now enjoy the podcast. Michael del Jordan. I was feeling
so good about myself. As you know, I created some
artificial intelligence headshots of myself. I got the Yellowstone met
(17:20):
Cowboy me, Yeah, whimsical me out on the ocean, golfer,
me got the Bradley. I was so excited about my
nineteen thirties Hollywood headshot because I thought I looked like
James Cagney and you go, h James Cagney or Lou Costello.
Oh you do? And now all I can see is
lu Costello. Thanks to you hey, yeah, bet so, maybe
(17:42):
not feeling so good about myself? All right, if you're
just waking up. What can we do to protect our
kids from these phones from the internet. Here comes the
government to the rescue. New York may soon pass a
law where parental consent would be needed for social media
companies to serve automated feeds and late night notifications. Aaron,
(18:04):
the facts are in and we know what phones are
doing to kids, interrupting sleep, brain development, giving them poor
self image that is leading to eating disorders, depression, loneliness, suicide.
We got to do something. Is this going to help? Yes?
Speaker 9 (18:20):
So well, is it going to help?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
That's the question.
Speaker 9 (18:22):
I can't say yes categorically, but we know that New
York State is weighing this landmark legislation. It's going to
prevent tech platforms, the Instagrams, the tiktoks, of using algorithms
for social.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Media feeds for kids.
Speaker 9 (18:35):
So what it will do is that it will give
you the feed chronologically. That will be the stream as
opposed to algorithmically, which makes it much more stickier and
much more addictive. And it will also not allow the
social media companies to send updates to kids between the
hours of midnight and six am. All I can say
is like, wait, can you make my phone do that too?
(18:57):
I want to sign up, I want my feed chronologically,
and no one needs me between midnight and.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Six Well, somebody in the house has got to be
not addicted. If the parents are, they're bad, and the
kids got to you know, pay the bills late at night.
Speaker 9 (19:07):
The right Yeah, exactly, No, I personally I applaud this.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
The interesting part is the state level versus the federal level.
And then you know, because I think at some point
this is going to probably have to be addressed federally,
but we certainly don't want it where some kids are
more prone to being you know, predatory tactics than others
(19:33):
based on the state that their parents chose to live in.
So but but I do love it, and I love
the time because we know that a lot of this
is happening and interrupting suite sleep. But yeah, the addictive nature.
First of all, all these algorithms were designed to get
us to use the product and use it longer. By
the way, we're in the radio business. Our job technically
is to get you to listen and then keep you
(19:54):
listening longer or coming back and making more appointments with us,
so more a case or longer each occasion. That's just
a business model. The problem was these algorithms never stopped learning,
never stop perfecting, and they achieved the goal a lot
better than radio. I don't have to tell you times
been viewing his way up.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Listen.
Speaker 9 (20:16):
It's a problem, and I think that Congress is dragging
their feet, which is not surprising. So states have taken
us up. But if there was ever a thing that
is bipartisan, it's keeping our kids safe on social media.
You have California looking at similar legislation, South Carolina, Minnesota.
We're talking about states on different sides. And if you
look at Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, he actually signed
(20:37):
a law in March that prohibits anyone under the age
of fourteen from having social media, regardless to parental consent. Now,
many would argue that that's a huge government overreach. Listen,
if it just takes the onus off of you know
a lot of people for having to enforce us with
(20:57):
their kids, You're like, no, but it's a law. Sorry, guys,
But I get at the same time, regardless of parental consent,
that's the same as taking anything out, and that does
not sit well with a lot of people, particularly independent
minded ones. So again Congress is dragging their feet. States
have to pick this up. If federal lawmakers on both
parties are going to grill the CEOs but then never
(21:17):
have specific legislative plans to address it, there's an issue,
and the states are picking it up now.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
Opponents of this, they say that.
Speaker 9 (21:24):
That feed, that algorithmic feed, it helps filter harmful speech,
and this infringes on First Amendment rights. Industry groups say
that media literacy would be better. I have I'm so
interested to hear the legal arguments around this, because, as
someone who always falls on the side of a gyues
First Amendment is wildly important free speech. I don't understand
how you can argue that like an algorithm is free
(21:47):
speech and has constitutional rights. Like I get that the
company owns the algorithm, but wouldn't it be more for
some supposed to have a chronologial doesn't.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Some of us become somewhat of a distractive waltz in that?
All right, even this it's a start. You know, you
got to give credit, some credit to New York. They're
trying to do something that's a step in the right direction.
It seems more disruptive, more of a disrupting for disruptive
force than a solution. I mean, ultimately, what we're battling
(22:17):
is ourself. By the way, the internet only does what
our mind already does. So you you ask yourself a question.
This is a powerful thing about our mind. You stand
in a mirror and you go, why am I so ugly?
Your brain is going to answer. It's going to start
telling you all your flaws. So you know, we have
to protect ourselves first and foremost with our thoughts and
(22:40):
where we allow them to go. What happens on the
internet is if a kid is having self esteem issues
or appearance issues, it starts looking at certain topics and
then the algorithm picks up on that and starts feeding it.
If you go to mind, it's very revealing and it's embarrassing.
You will constantly see either homes for sale because I'm
(23:01):
always looking at homes in different regions of the country,
or you will see boats for sale. Why because it
knows I'm dying to buy a boat, and I'm always
looking at forty foot cruisers, you know, to buy. So
that's very revealing. Now do I need to be focused
on that and distracted by that?
Speaker 9 (23:15):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Do I need to be spending money on that? No,
But that's where my mind goes. The problem is kids.
And remember us when we were kids. Remember how insecure
we were walking around in third grade, self conscious about everything,
our clothes, our hair, how people were looking at us
if somebody made a joke about us. So you go
online and you start picking at some of this stuff, Well,
guess what. These algorithms will feed it, feed it even
(23:38):
better than your mind. That's why I've often said these
algorithms in the Internet and the social dilemma, I think
Satan gets to take half a century off the internet
will do the work for them. Who's going to you?
Gotta parents got to protect kids, and kids are going
to learn to protect themselves. It's just that simple. And
will they and will they?
Speaker 9 (23:58):
And also I think I think you have to take
into consideration that kids' brains aren't developed until your brain's five. Yeah, Like,
so it's not really like being like, Nope, it's up
to the kids. It's like, well, it's up to the parents.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
Stuff to the kids.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
And we're also navigating waters we've never swam in. Before,
so it's it's a difficult one to square. And then again,
I'm most interested to hear the legal arguments around this,
because how someone's going to make a really good argument
for an algorithm having a constitutional right and then someone's
going to say, that's a preposterous statement in and of itself,
and how do you I don't know, I don't I
(24:34):
don't know. So it's like, as a journalist, you listen,
you learn, and I'm excited to hear the debates around
this because the rebuttal is strong. Is media literacy important,
Of course it.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Is, and that'll all be fascinating, But I think the
cultural and human ramifications are would capture my attention because
you know, at the end of the day, like take
radio for example, there's seven eight I mean, first of all,
there's thousands the stories every morning when I wake up,
I got to kind of think, for my listeners, what
do they need to know, you know, what do they
(25:07):
need to know about the narrative cycle? What do they
need to know about what's really happening so they can
connect dots, they can anticipate the future. Somebody's got to
make that decision, and then I got to execute one
of them, but I can only execute them one at
a time. What the Internet can do is Taylor make
all the products specifically for you, real after real after real,
article after article, video, influencer after influencer. That's impossible. That's
(25:29):
a powerful force. I mean the marketing advantage of that
to get people to keep going to it and staying longer,
which it was designed to do. But what's the result.
All very destructive, destructive. We're not living, we're projecting, and
we're not interacting. We're lonely and we're not happy. We're
(25:51):
very depressed, and it is leading to very destructive behavior.
So something's got to be done. But I don't know.
These are all like, I don't one shutter when a
hurricane's on the way protecting one window. I don't know
the door is vulnerable and all the other windows are vulnerable.
I'm out of analogies, but I guess it's a start
in the right direction.
Speaker 9 (26:11):
We'll see, we absolutely will see. And again, few things
are bipartisan. This one seems to be.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
It seems to be. Aaron Rayel, thanks for your time.
We'll talk again tomorrow. Good reporting today, All right, if
you're just waking up, these are your top five stories
of the day narratives speaking. Although Jerry finally got to
see Hunter Biden's infamous laptop as day three of his
trial continued in Delaware, Lisa Taylor has that story.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
The president's son is accused of illegally buying and possessing
a gun while being addicted to drugs. In twenty eighteen,
an FBI witness explained on the stand how prosecutors obtained
evidence of Hunter Biden's drug use on the laptop. The
computer was a focal point of the twenty twenty election,
with Donald Trump claiming it contained damaging emails about President Biden,
while Biden maintained it could be fake and part of
Russian election interference. It marks the first time in US
(27:02):
history the child of a sitting president has gone on trial.
Biden has pleaded not guilty to the three charges. I'm
li Se Taylor.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
As for former President Donald Trump, He's wanting to know
and asking a judge enough of this gag order. The
trial's over. Brian Shook reports.
Speaker 7 (27:17):
In a letter to Judge Wanmrshawn Trump's lawyers said the
concerns made by the court do not justify the continued
restrictions of President Trump. It also said the case to
lift the gag order is even stronger after President Biden
addressed the verdict, and witnesses have publicly talked about the case.
Trump was found guilty of all thirty four councy faced
(27:38):
of falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments
to porn actress Stormy Daniels last week. He's said to
be sentenced on July eleventh. I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
So Biden's big executive order concerning the border. Is that
a national security action? Was that a law and order action?
Or was that a political move? I'll let you decide.
Mark Mayfield reports.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
That Biden has signed an executive order to limit the
flow of migrants at the US Mexico border. In remarks
from the White House, Biden said he made the decision
after Congress failed to pass a bipartisan border bill earlier
this year.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
We came to a clear bipartisan deal. It was the
strongest border security agreement in decades. Then the public is
in Congress, not all of it walked away from it.
Why because Donald Trump told them to.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
The move prohibits migrants who crossed the US Mexico border
illegally from requesting asylum once the number of daily encounters
tops twenty five hundred between official ports of entry. Polling
hash owned most Americans disapprove of Biden's handling of immigration,
as border crossings surge and former President Trump asking the
judge in his New York hush money case to terminate
the gang order against him because the trial is finished.
(28:48):
In a letter to Judge Wanmer Schawan, Trump's lawyer said
the concerns made by the court do not justify the
continued restrictions of former President Trump. That's politics. Mark Mayfield,
NBC News Radio.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
One of the real reasons to do something at the border,
and do something permanent and impactful is you've learned something
since nine to eleven. But it doesn't appear though we have.
Even the Attorney General agrees we're vulnerable to a terrorist attack.
I am worried about the possibility of a terrorist attack
in the country.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
After October seventh, the threat level for US has gone
up enormously every morning.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
He told Congress and the hearing that the FBI is
closely tracking migrants whose names pop up on the FBI's
terror screening database. So far this year, there's been eighty
arrested along the southern border with terrorist ties. Martha the
Vandellas would make this sound so good it would even
kick off fifty minutes of NonStop music, But it's not
fun to live. A dangerous heat wave hitting the West coast. Tabu,
(29:48):
Trijhilo has more.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
California, Arizona, and southern Nevadica all see record setting temperatures
this week. An excessive heat warning starts today in California's
Central Valley, with temperatures possibly up to one hundred and
eight degrees. Another excessive heat warning goes into effect on
Wednesday and stretches from Las Vegas to the Lake Havisu
area of Arizona. Then on Thursday and Friday, temperatures in Vegas, Phoenix,
(30:09):
and Palm Springs, California are expected to hit a high
of at least one hundred and twelve degrees. I'm Tammy Trihio.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
I blame my son. I blame my Sonny. I abandoned
the NBA for decades, and I was peaceful and I
was happy. Now he's got me addicted again. Is it
ever gonna be? Thursday Night, the Mavericks and the Celtics
NBA Finals Game one finally here tomorrow night. I think
(30:38):
this is gonna be an epic matchup. NHL Stanley Cup
Finals will get underway on Saturday with Edmonton and Florida.
I think I like the Oilers in that one. Game
one will be Saturday night at seven o'clock. All in all,
we were four and three yesterday your morning show. Cities
in Major League Baseball d Backs one, Guardians one, Mariners one,
Raise one, the Cardinals loss the Nats law, and the
(31:00):
Rangers loss to the Tigers. That's embarrassing. Birthdays today. Patriots
owner Robert Kraft is eighty three years old. I don't
think he dare gets a massage on his birthday. Well.
Actor Mark Wahlberg probably one of my favorites. I think, yeah,
he's really good. Love Invincible, I love every movie. Mix
(31:20):
hasn't made a bad one, Marky Mark. Mark Wahlberg is
fifty three years old, and sax Man Kenny G. We
don't have any Kenny G for rejoined Doo. No, we
probably shouldn't. Yeah, I think I agree with you. Okay,
happy birthday, but really didn't care for your stuff. Sixty
eight years old and if it's your birthday, happy birthday.
We're so glad you were born.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael Hill.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Joan though, thanks for taking us along for the drive
in your gray car. I don't know. I just did inventory.
Roy O'Neil is joining us in the del journer home.
We have two blue, two red, one white, red, white
and blue. Baby. We're American, but that's not the case
for most Americans. A lot of drab colors of vehicles.
What's up with that? I love this story.
Speaker 10 (32:02):
Right now, only twenty percent of cars are not gray scale,
so eighty percent or white, black, gray, and silver. It
was forty percent of cars that had the broader colors
just twenty years ago. So we've seen our real narrowing
out there and what the consumer is driving. In part
because well, it's easier for inventory management when the makers
(32:24):
get the cars out to dealerships. Also because when we
sell the car back to the dealer for a trade in,
you might not as good as much for your car
if it's purple or orange or something.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, So traditionally, wasn't it black was the top resale value?
I think traditionally, yeah, I don't have the resale value numbers.
Speaker 10 (32:43):
But yeah, black and white are typically the most common,
and then it depends on the kind of vehicle. If
it's a truck right now, white is the most common.
If it's a sports car, you'll start to see more
of the colors.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Yeah, but I mean, if if gray doesn't pop up
on the why make so much gray? If gray doesn't
seem to do so well in resale?
Speaker 10 (33:05):
Oh well no, but the problem is the orange and
the yellows and the browns.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
And the gold gold. That's well, there's a really there's
a really bad orange out there, circular. It's kind of
like an orange e rust. I don't get that one.
Speaker 10 (33:20):
We're seeing a lot of these she has made, you know,
on the on the fake jeeps.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
You know it's a jeep, but it's not really a jeep.
Jep jeep. Uh, it's a sedan that's higher up.
Speaker 10 (33:30):
But they really experimented with some pretty bold colors.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Yeah, man, but I mean it's all in the eye
of the beholder.
Speaker 10 (33:36):
But I guess you what was your first What was
the color of your first car?
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Are you ready? It was a two tone Mustang, so
it was red with a black hood. I think that
there was black somewhere else. I can't remember if it
was the trunk, Yeah, that was my What about yours?
Bright bright, almost neon yellow? Although two of my favorite
cars were gray.
Speaker 10 (34:00):
One the original Swagon rat, Yeah, Volkswagen Rabbit Deesel.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
I learned on a Volkswagen Beetle. But yeah, one of
my grays was a Honda Cord, an early Honda Cord
in the eighties. And then I had a Mercedes that
was gray. That an SUV that I loved.
Speaker 10 (34:14):
But yeah, right now my car is dark red maroon ish,
but my last two were white and silver.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
All right, why all the gray? There's your answer? So
it's what eighty six eighty percent or gray, white or silver?
Speaker 10 (34:27):
Eighty percent of cars or silver, gray, black and white.
Only twenty percent have color. That's a drop by half
in just twenty years.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
All right, Well, Fauci didn't have a good day on
the hill and Marck Garland had a pretty frank grilling
yesterday on the Hill, and R will be back with
that story in the next hour.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
This is James from Greenwood, South Carolina, and my morning
show is your morning show.
Speaker 10 (34:47):
