Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live daily on great radio stations like News Radio six
fifty k e n I Anchorage, Alaska, Talk Radio eleven
ninety Dallas Fort Worth, and Freedom one oh four seven
in Washington, d C. We'd love to have you listen
live every day and make us a part of your
morning routine. But better late than never. Enjoy the podcast on.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together. This is your morning.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Show with Michael, Bill Charna. Now, which one of us
is the one behind the curtain? Is the christ Well,
it's just kind of metaphor for life, rite the Wizard
of Red or you seven minutes after the hour. Welcome
to Wednesday, July, the ninth year of Our Lord, twenty
twenty five. Good morning, I'm Michael. This is your morning show.
(00:56):
We start with head spinning new use. First, the missing
Texas flood victims has quadrupled overnight to now believe to
be one hundred and seventy two are still unaccounted for,
as the death toll has risen to one hundred and eleven.
(01:18):
The Supreme Court will allow the Trump administration to resume
plans to carry out mass job cuts across federal agencies. Again,
there's been a lot of activist federal judges. We had
law fair during the campaign, and we've had judge fair
during the presidency. But the Supreme Court continues and appeals
courts continue to rectify these attacks against Donald Trump. Another
(01:43):
victory this time again in the Supreme Court. TSA is
going to let us now leave our shoes on? Am
I the only one the shoes. I'm a pretty simple
shoe guy, So the shoes have not been the problem.
It's the belt that takes me a long time. Yes,
it's just the whole hassle. And I don't know what
(02:03):
taking the belt off does. I mean, obviously you know
the metal we once said maybe, well, I guess it
could be that. But my trousers need that belt. So
then I got to sit there and hold my pants
up right. Then I got to try to thread it
afterwards and hold my carry on bag. But all the
(02:25):
things they do to are harassed, as the tsay, oh,
I gotta leave her shoes on, now that's something. And
of course why do we have to take them off
to begin with? Shoe bombers. So do we not have
threats of shoe bombers or would somebody like to explain
to us we have a new technology that can sense
that even if they're on.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Is that's our big tsa victory that's gonna supposedly. I mean,
I'm not just disgruntled and bashing, but you know, security
is the biggest nightmare, and I don't think the shoes
is going to make all of a sudden our airline
experience bleasant. Oh we to leave our shoes on, that'll
(03:09):
make it all better. The State Department is investigating incidents
involving someone using AI AI Voice impersonating technology to impersonate
Marco Rubio and then made contact with foreign officials as
well as US officials. This is the open door of
chaos that's coming with AI and the IRS will now
(03:31):
allow churches to endorse political candidates without losing their tax
exempt status. I think that's been going on for quite
some time. To be honest with you, stories behind the stories.
We've got two great ironies today. Maybe that should be
our talkback. Which is the greater irony one. You've got
(03:53):
Mandini who once claimed on a this was Columbia University
or New York Universe, Columbia University, right, not New York University, Columbia, Yeah,
Columbia University. So on his application at Columbia University, he
claims to be both Asian and African American, presumably for
whatever advantages that could get him. Okay, that's embarrassing in
(04:18):
and of itself, but the irony comes in where he
receives the largest education union endorsement in New York for
the race for mayor. A guy that cheat, I mean,
as the story is he was cheating schools. I saw
(04:41):
somebody did a meme and it had Elizabeth Warren, native American,
you know, had all the different craziness of the left.
And now we got ad Mandini who claimed to be
Asian an African American at Columbia University as the New
York Teachers Union endorses him for mayor. Isn't it ironic?
(05:02):
Don't you think? The other one is the story that
nobody wants to seem to cover. But Mexicans are protesting
Americans in Mexico. You know what this is. These are
what they call digital nomads, these remote workers. They can
do their work from anywhere. Well, we could, well, I could,
(05:24):
because you can't. Those in Sherman Oaks can't. You can't.
Red could red? And I could do this job anywhere. Yeah,
and so you know, would we go to Mexico because
it's cheap? And then if enough of us do that,
is it not cheap anymore? So the Mexicans are in
the streets protesting Americans. Who they are chanting are gringos,
(05:51):
protesting the American glingos for driving up rent, not to mention,
and this is the one that's the most ironic, erasing
our culture.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
They all celebrated the fourth of July the other day.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Yeah, how dare you now? We're not there burning their
flag by any stretch of the imagination. We're not taking
any of their government funding away from their people. But
just by being there and driving up rent, these gringos
got to go, and they're eraising our culture. I mean
(06:33):
it's oh, but isn't it ironic? Don't you think there's
a lot of buzz? Okay, so no one's buying, there's
nothing to the Septstein files. So now everybody's just in
in full free for all of what we really think
is happening. In fact, right before one in the ear
was catching one of Tucker Carlson states, Tucker, for one,
(06:55):
doesn't think it has anything with Trump being in there
that Elon Muskus is trying to push, and Tucker says,
and that's because I know the President number one, and
for all of his sentence, this isn't one of them.
He's not creepy in this way. But they do think,
you know, kind of like I mean, one of the
(07:17):
big stories today is the FBI is launching the criminal
investigation into John Brennan and James Comby. There's gonna be
zero excitement for this, right does anybody? I mean, now
we're gonna go back to the Russian hoax and do nothing.
I mean, this would have been something for the first
Trump administration maybe to have tackled. But now call me me.
(07:38):
This guy's putting eighty six forty seven in the sand
and they probably can't find anything on him. But it
just had, you know, after this Epstein debacle. The JFK
promises that weren't followed through with the RFK promises that
weren't fault. The MLK promises that weren't fault. I mean,
of course, wouldn't it be come Ian Brennan's lock. This
(08:01):
is the one they actually followed through. I mean, the
safest place for any criminal to be is to be
investigated by the FBI, it would seem. But America is
just in a full breath now of disgust. And so
I don't you know, my nephew texted me, You're not
(08:23):
buying all this, are you? And so I just kind
of texted him what we had talked about on the
air If if there's no black book, if there's no
flight logs, if there's no evidence of blackmail, you can't
The one analogy everybody's using that just doesn't work is
(08:45):
and what's you know Maxwell doing in prison? Well, she's
in prison for lining up underage girls, among other charges.
So but but if there was no evidence of any
of this, why Epsteen kill himself? That's That's the one
(09:07):
thing that will never make sense to anybody, that why
was the man given so many sheets? That's a lot
of sheets.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
I mean, Michael, they named the airplane the Lolita Express.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yeah, come on, so everybody is now now the question is, okay,
so why are we sweeping this under the rug? Why
would we have sweep JFK under the rug? You know,
the JFK one is is a little simpler. It really
falls under the line of COVID in China. What was
(09:48):
the main is the dead giveaway? What was the biggest
concern of the US government in the moments, and I
mean the moments He's not even at Parkland Hospital yet,
let alone pronounce dead. What was the big concern? We
(10:09):
were headed to war? This is a year after the
Cuban missile crisis, Cuba Russia, Bey of pigs. But even
that aside, what did the military and the CIA and
the NSA and everyone else to believe immediately every American
(10:36):
would pass the test once the closest we came to
a nuclear exchange of Russia, Oh, Cuban missile crisis. No,
it may have been the moments after Kennedy was assassinated. Look,
the FBI knew, I mean roughly about the time JFK's
pronounced dead. They were aware of our being in Mexico
(11:01):
City with the guy who headed up assassinations for Russia.
We were ready to go to war. You know, when
people ask me, you know, why do you think we
swept all that JFK stuff under the rug? Because it
would have led to World War When you look at
(11:24):
what China did. Now there's Fauci and US involvement and
gain a function research, but be that as it may.
Never mind how outraged you are that they're creating such
things in labs. And then it gets out the actions
of China after it got out to protect its own
people and be reckless to expose the rest of the
(11:45):
world and especially America. I mean, was something that specifically
targets What was the biggest surprise of COVID. Everybody forgets
about what it did to overweight people, never mind lung issues, smokers, No,
(12:06):
it was diabetics. So if Trump was winning an economic
and in the court from a public opinion, major war
against China and making their life miserable, well didn't COVID
get him back and destroy his presidency and ultimately thanks
(12:30):
to the Democrats in their shadow campaign to save the democracy,
and he attempted a second term. Why don't we investigate that? Why?
Why why does nobody want to look at China with
COVID because it could lead to a world war. But Epstein,
(12:55):
so this is my take, and I could be way off,
and that's how we have a talk back button. The
show belongs to you. Epstein is now in a file
with JFK, RFK and MLK, and for good reason, something
would be revealed that's far worse than what happened, and
(13:16):
therefore we could never know. But are you serious now
today you want us to get excited, You're gonna look
into Brennan and call me.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Finally, this is your morning show with Michael del Chno me.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
I'm in Mexico City driving up the rent. Good morning
if you're just waking up. Welcome to Wednesday, July the ninth.
These are your top five stories of the day. The
State Department is investigating after someone using an AI generated
voice impersonated Secretary of State Marco Rubio to contact both
(13:57):
US and foreign officials Stinct Departments.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Spokesperson Jammy Bruce sent her department is aware of the reports.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
The State Department, of course, is aware of this incident,
and it is currently monitoring and addressing the matter.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
The person contacted three foreign ministers and two US officials
in mid June via the Signal messaging app, and left
voicemails for at least two of them. The Cable also
share that the actor likely aimed to manipulate targeted individuals
using AI generated texts and voice messages with the goal
of gaining access to information or accounts.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
I'm Mark Matfield. Well talk it up to another victory
for President Trump. The Supreme Court will allow the Trump
administration to resume plans to carry out mass job cuts
across federal agencies. Brian shook you all Morning Long reports.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Justice is lifted a district judges order blocking the large
scale federal layoffs that could potentially impact hundreds of thousands
of jobs. The Supreme Court said it was not assessing
the legality of any specific plans for layoffs at federal agencies.
President Trump signed an executive order in February directing agencies
to prepare for the government overhaul.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
I'm Brian Shuck. I'm just thinking, do we have you
can leave your hat on as a rejoin. I can
make that happen for you. We shouldn't be a good one,
wouldn't it. Bound Bound Boum Boum's had a pretty solid intro.
You can leave your shoes on at the airport for
security screenings. Ira Spitzer reports on the tsay's decision to
(15:23):
scrap the nearly two decade old shoe removal rule.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
The rule began in two thousand and six in response
to the failed shoe bomber plot five years earlier, but
has remained unpopular ever since. In a statement, Homeland Security
Secretary Christy Nomes says she expects the change will drastically
decrease passenger wait times, leading to what she called a
more pleasant and efficient passenger experience.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Ira Spitzer, San Francisco. You know, like they're going to
reissue peanuts again. Get a hold of yourself. In baseball,
the Tigers for two over the Rays Oi. Those Tigers
are good. Cardinals beat the Nats four to two. Guardians
that's two in a row after losing ten in a row,
out slugged the Astros ten to six, Angels lost Big
(16:11):
thirteen to one to the Rangers, Dbacks lost one nothing
to the Pods as Rock the Braves ten to one,
and the Dodgers lost to the Brew Crew three to one.
Birthdays today and Jeffrey can't stand him. Tom Hanks is
sixty nine, Little Wonder years, Fred Savage is forty nine,
and top gun actress Kelly Miguelis is sixty eight. If

Welcome to Wednesday, July, the ninth year of Our Lord,
twenty twenty five on the Aaron streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app. This is the show that belongs to you.
This is your morning show. Honored to serve you. I'm
Michael Jeffrey's got the sound read keeping an eye on
the content. We want to welcome two great cities. Buffalo,
New York, and Tucson, Arizona, Buffalo. We're excited for the
(17:43):
all new AM twelve seventy The Patriot WUSW. It's Buffalo's
conservative talk station, and don't you think it's about time
Buffalo had one. We do proud to start the day
at twelve seventy the Patriot in Buffalo, and we welcome
the great seven ninety k NST in Tucson, Arizona. Just
(18:06):
like me to be standing on a corner in Tucson,
Arizona instead of Winslow, Arizona. We'll we welcome these two
great stations to our your morning show family. It is
a show that belongs to you, not to a city,
not to a radio station, certainly not to this host.
It belongs to you, and we can't have it without
your voice. So make your voice heard each morning. If
you're listening on the iHeartRadio app, go see a microphone
(18:27):
press it. It's very impressive and professional. It'll count you
down three two, one, and you have thirty seconds to
make a comment, ask a question, and take your place
at this morning's kitchen table. No more rotting on hold
and talk radio. Instantly you are at the table, so
use the talkback button. For those of you that prefer
to type, we have the email Michael d at iHeartMedia
(18:49):
dot com. All right, if you're just waking up, this
is shocking for everyone. The missing Texas flood victim number
has quadrupled over night, Governor Rabbit releasing the figures that
there's some one hundred and seventy two officially unaccounted for
this as the death toll has risen to one hundred
(19:11):
and eleven. Another victory in the Supreme Court for Trump.
His administration can resume its plans to carry out mascots
of federal agencies, and the TSA says, our life is
all better now we can leave our shoes on. Hey,
who knows, maybe a smile and a peanut isn't far off.
Whenever things would get out of control in my home
(19:32):
when we were kids, yeah, just because you know whatever.
I would talk to groups and you know, say how
many of you are parents, and how many of you
have only one child? And when they would raise their
hands and say, put that down, You're not a parent.
Anybody can raise one kid. That's a You gotta have
enough kids where they can turn on you, where you
can be outnumbered. Yeah, well they got numbers on you.
(19:53):
And so when things get out of control, my dad,
who was a radio personality, my dad's voice did needed
no no compression, no EQ or no reverb. It was
naturally in his vocal courts. So it was bigger than life.
And with my father cleared his voice, he had two
threats in one minute. We never did find out what
(20:14):
would happened in one minute, okay, And then it was
I want all of you to go to your rooms
when things just get out of hand. There was something
settling about all right, let's just split them up and
send them all to their rooms. At least gets control
of the situation. Maybe that's what we need to do.
This definitely falls under the headline ironic headline Mexicans protest
(20:37):
American gringos driving up rent and erasing culture. That's right,
Mexicans are taking to the streets to protest to Mexico
City the wave of American what they call digital nomads
and tourists they say are driving up rents and dis
(21:00):
displacing locals from their neighborhoods. Any of this sound familiar,
This is like right out of the Chicago Tribune two
years ago. What began is largely peaceful on Friday, a
march through Condessa. By the way, I like to do that,
(21:21):
like the anchors do. Just throw in the accent, develop
the accent as you said, Yeah, I love like an
anchor is talking in absolute perfect English. And then they
get to a Condessa and they put the accent with
the French or Russian or any of them, but any other.
They want to prove that they can do it anyway,
just you know, kind of like you know, obviously taking
(21:43):
their cues from the US. You know, we started out
with a little peaceful march and then uh, you know,
start smashing some store front windows. Next thing, you know,
you start grabbing some televisions. Then you grab a couple
of foreigners and scare the crap out of them, spray
paint some graffiti, get out of my hole. At least
(22:04):
they're damaging their own country and making their statement. The
signs are saying, gringoes, stop stealing our homes, demanding tougher
housing laws. The targets are mostly American tourists, so called
digital nomads, who can work remotely from anywhere, so they
relocate to places that are cheaper or more scenic. The
(22:29):
influx began in twenty twenty, when, by the way, I'm
the only one that wants that. You know, this would
be life changing for me if I went to Italy.
Do you realize I'm doing the show at one o'clock
in the afternoon instead of getting up at three am,
being on the air at five am. That far ahead. Really, yeah,
it makes sense, doesn't it. It makes sense? Yeah, well,
eleven or noon somewhere in there. Either way, it's it
(22:53):
would be delightful scenery. But apparently a lot of Americans
digital nomads. They go to Mexico and this all began
after COVID in twenty twenty, and now the Mexicans are
upset with US for invading their country, erasing their culture,
and driving up their expenses. Isn't it ironic?
Speaker 5 (23:20):
I had to make sure I wasn't looking at the
Babylon b That.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Story, well, I put that right up there with our
other favorite story, which is Mandini. Ma'm Donnie. You should say,
Ma'm Donnie. Mandini makes him sound like a magician. Headline
in New York Times, Mam Donnie once claimed to be
Asian and African American. Should it matter, question Mark, Well,
(23:50):
he's a Shia Muslim, so he's lying on his Columbia
University form. I think Red had probably the most honest action.
Are you serious? Did Andrew Cuomo not do any opposition
opposition research on this guy? My first thought went to
(24:12):
the law of diminishing return. That which is shocking today
is normal tomorrow. Now that means you gotta be really
shocking tomorrow, and then that becomes normal. So we've been
down this road with Elizabeth Warren who claimed to be
Native American and had did she have any or was
it like zero point zero point zero one percent.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
One one hundred and sixty fourth? I believe it was, yeah,
you know, and I mean from Oklahoma. Come on, that's everybody.
But I guess if you didn't care when she did it,
who cares that he's doing it? But that's not the irony.
The irony is and I could play talk radio here.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Soul Man was a great movie with c Thomas Howell
and Raydon Cheng. I bring that up because I had
a crush on Raydon Cheng when I was a teenager.
She was adorable. Anyway, She's a black student working in
the cafeteria and he finds out by faking to be
black and getting a scholarship to Harvard, that it's her
scholarship he took. He eventually comes clean, but yeah, there
(25:18):
is that notion. Who's the place at Columbia did he
get by claiming to be Asian or African American?
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Well, the funny part, Michael, is he didn't get in.
Speaker 8 (25:32):
Well but even with his parents working there, and well
that actually, you're right, that is the biggest irony.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Can't even get into a university his parents are working at.
But you know, I mean, there's that's what's misleading about this.
That's what's despicable about this, that you would fake something.
But yeah, I'm with you. Didn't anybody do any opposition
research whatsoever? But that's not the irony. The irony is
on the day the New York Times is doing that story,
(26:02):
is the story that the New York teacher's largest teachers
union endorsed them from mayre. So you could say it
out on one side of your mouth, My gosh, didn't
Andrew Cuomo do any opposition research on this guy? Well
did the teachers union? I mean, they're in the same
(26:22):
paper on different pages. Go figure if if there's anything
even even close to what we're experiencing with the Epstein investigation,
I guess it would be JFK. Right, And you can
(26:47):
meet people sixty years later thoroughly convinced it was Oswald.
But even in that, okay, if you think Oswal locked
head alone, what was he doing in Mexico City two
weeks earlier, and why was he meeting with the Cuban
(27:09):
government and the person that presided over assassinations for the
Soviet Union. Even if a lot of people you know,
the magic bullet of the Warrant Commission is somewhat laughable.
It simply doesn't understand where the shooter was. On a
(27:32):
sixth floor, the trajectory down the offset of Governor Conley.
He was beneath the president, so the President the first
Lady were in a raised seat. They were in set
to him. It's a straight line through his neck, out
the front of his throat into the back of Conley.
(27:55):
And the soft tissue that it went through to go
through the back of the President's neck and out his throat,
it was virtually nothing. So it was basically from the
torso through the wrist and then lodged into the It's
all explainable, but to this day you have people who
(28:17):
believe it was Oswaldt. You have people that believe it
was our own government, or it was the mafia, or
was all the buff and it just goes into that
jar of conspiracy insanity. And that's apparently where we're going
to send Epstein, and that's apparently where we're going to
send JFK sixty years later to remain r MLK. I
(28:39):
gotta do this for red. And what about Trump's assassination?
Is anybody even going to look into that? I saw
the funniest thing this morning. It's every time I get
the visual and it's such a cheap laugh. I'm embarrassed
to admit it. But it's a guy posted using AI
(29:00):
they found the missing video at the Epstein jail, and
there's Hillary in a blue pants suit. I saw that
she looked a little chunky on the back end. We
got the giggles over. I said, you know, I don't know,
I'm kind of tired. I may have to put it
on autopilot and take a rest. And then we started
going through the autopilot scene in the movie Airplane and
Leslie Nielsen walking in. You know the look on his face.
(29:21):
I mean, I I still crack him, but every time
I picture that pants suit walking through the door. What
were so many sheets doing in there? If there's nothing
on this guy, why did he kill himself? I don't
necessarily think he killed himself obviously, but so out there
(29:42):
was no video. Now there's video. Yeah. So but no
matter what you doesn't matter what this is like JFK,
No matter what angle you take, you can't end it
because you can't make sense of a lie. So you know,
I'm gonna make one serious statement today. Nobody's buying there
(30:06):
was nothing to this Epstein's story.
Speaker 7 (30:08):
This.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
I brought this up with John, our White House correspondent
John Decker. He laughed out loud. But this reminds me
of after the twenty twenty election, when the Trump officials
were promising a Kraken was coming. You can't keep making
promises without losing people's trust when you don't deliver. No
(30:31):
kraken ever arrived, a Senil o Man and a fake
presidency in an auto pen arrived, and war in Ukraine
and people hanging off planes in Afghanistan. But here's my
serious comment. Promising to give us the information we've deserved
all along on JFK and then not delivering. See promising
(30:57):
the same for OURFK as, our FK juniors in this
administration's cabinet, two mlks, now epstein'strike four not even bringing
up the Trump assassination. Blow it away for a ball.
And now you want to bring up Bannon and Komby,
(31:23):
Brennan and Koby and come on, what a joke. But
here's what's serious. They all add to the lack of trust.
That's the biggest problem in America today, and not just
our loss and trust with government, our loss of trust
(31:45):
with political office holders, our loss of trust with the
media and reporters, and our loss of trust in each
others carried out in the social dilemma. He must have
had a black book. Of course, he had a flight log.
(32:07):
I mean, he could have had all those cameras because
he's a pervert and like to watch. But he liked
to gather powerful people and if he had them filmed
in very compromising positions, that's my concern. I add Epstein
(32:28):
to a long list, a long list that adds up
to more mistrust.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
It's your morning show with Michael del Choano.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
This business. If you're not careful, all you'll report on
is bad news. The good news is there, just got
to find it, and we found some. There's nothing I
respect more than police officers, firefighters, paramedics. These are people
that risk their life every day to protect ours. And
we have some good news.
Speaker 7 (32:56):
Now.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
We're only halfway through the year, but the CEO of
the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, Bill Alexander, is
with us, and Bill, the numbers look good as far
as fatalities report, right, Michael, good morning.
Speaker 9 (33:08):
Yes, yes, indeed they do. We don't really love to
use the words good news when we're talking about even
a single officer dying. And I know you don't mean
it that way, but certainly this is a very very
positive trend to be down so substantially for the first
six months this year.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
All right, So what doll we credit this too?
Speaker 9 (33:25):
You know, I think it's a couple of high level things.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
One.
Speaker 9 (33:28):
I think there's just no question that both efforts on
our side from our organization in terms of finding creating
programs and best practices which make it safer for the
men and women out on the streets.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
We aren't alone in that effort.
Speaker 9 (33:39):
Every major law enforcement organization has been doing the same
thing for decades.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
I hope to some degree, these numbers reflect that long work.
Speaker 9 (33:47):
I also think that the change in the tone and
rhetoric of all and about law enforcement over the last
six to eight months particularly has helped bolster the morales
of the men and women in uniform, and I think
to some degree it is likely shaping public response to
law enforcement and when they're actually interacting with law enforcement.
Not universally, but I think it is changing ever so
(34:09):
slightly those marginal and oftentimes really tragic and fatal outcomes.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
I'm hoping to some degree that's it.
Speaker 9 (34:16):
And my final thought is that violent crime seems to
be going down mostly around the nation. I think that's
because cities and towns states have re engaged on that front,
and the idea that we should be defunding or marginalizing
law enforcement agencies, I hope continues to wane, but I
hope that that is also playing a factor here, that
(34:36):
the fewer robberies and carjackings and murders law enforcement officers
have to respond to, the fewer times they are going
topletely be put in harm's way and ultimately killed.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Bill appreciate you joining us this morning. We've got to
have you back when we have more time If people

Speaker 3 (35:07):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael Vinteld Journo
Hi, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live daily on great radio stations like News Radio six
fifty k e n I Anchorage, Alaska, Talk Radio eleven
ninety Dallas Fort Worth, and Freedom one oh four seven
in Washington, d C. We'd love to have you listen
live every day and make us a part of your
morning routine. But better late than never. Enjoy the podcast on.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together. This is your morning.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Show with Michael, Bill Charna. Now, which one of us
is the one behind the curtain? Is the christ Well,
it's just kind of metaphor for life, rite the Wizard
of Red or you seven minutes after the hour. Welcome
to Wednesday, July, the ninth year of Our Lord, twenty
twenty five. Good morning, I'm Michael. This is your morning show.
(00:56):
We start with head spinning new use. First, the missing
Texas flood victims has quadrupled overnight to now believe to
be one hundred and seventy two are still unaccounted for,
as the death toll has risen to one hundred and eleven.
(01:18):
The Supreme Court will allow the Trump administration to resume
plans to carry out mass job cuts across federal agencies. Again,
there's been a lot of activist federal judges. We had
law fair during the campaign, and we've had judge fair
during the presidency. But the Supreme Court continues and appeals
courts continue to rectify these attacks against Donald Trump. Another
(01:43):
victory this time again in the Supreme Court. TSA is
going to let us now leave our shoes on? Am
I the only one the shoes. I'm a pretty simple
shoe guy, So the shoes have not been the problem.
It's the belt that takes me a long time. Yes,
it's just the whole hassle. And I don't know what
(02:03):
taking the belt off does. I mean, obviously you know
the metal we once said maybe, well, I guess it
could be that. But my trousers need that belt. So
then I got to sit there and hold my pants
up right. Then I got to try to thread it
afterwards and hold my carry on bag. But all the
(02:25):
things they do to are harassed, as the tsay, oh,
I gotta leave her shoes on, now that's something. And
of course why do we have to take them off
to begin with? Shoe bombers. So do we not have
threats of shoe bombers or would somebody like to explain
to us we have a new technology that can sense
that even if they're on.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Is that's our big tsa victory that's gonna supposedly. I mean,
I'm not just disgruntled and bashing, but you know, security
is the biggest nightmare, and I don't think the shoes
is going to make all of a sudden our airline
experience bleasant. Oh we to leave our shoes on, that'll
(03:09):
make it all better. The State Department is investigating incidents
involving someone using AI AI Voice impersonating technology to impersonate
Marco Rubio and then made contact with foreign officials as
well as US officials. This is the open door of
chaos that's coming with AI and the IRS will now
(03:31):
allow churches to endorse political candidates without losing their tax
exempt status. I think that's been going on for quite
some time. To be honest with you, stories behind the stories.
We've got two great ironies today. Maybe that should be
our talkback. Which is the greater irony one. You've got
(03:53):
Mandini who once claimed on a this was Columbia University
or New York Universe, Columbia University, right, not New York University, Columbia, Yeah,
Columbia University. So on his application at Columbia University, he
claims to be both Asian and African American, presumably for
whatever advantages that could get him. Okay, that's embarrassing in
(04:18):
and of itself, but the irony comes in where he
receives the largest education union endorsement in New York for
the race for mayor. A guy that cheat, I mean,
as the story is he was cheating schools. I saw
(04:41):
somebody did a meme and it had Elizabeth Warren, native American,
you know, had all the different craziness of the left.
And now we got ad Mandini who claimed to be
Asian an African American at Columbia University as the New
York Teachers Union endorses him for mayor. Isn't it ironic?
(05:02):
Don't you think? The other one is the story that
nobody wants to seem to cover. But Mexicans are protesting
Americans in Mexico. You know what this is. These are
what they call digital nomads, these remote workers. They can
do their work from anywhere. Well, we could, well, I could,
(05:24):
because you can't. Those in Sherman Oaks can't. You can't.
Red could red? And I could do this job anywhere. Yeah,
and so you know, would we go to Mexico because
it's cheap? And then if enough of us do that,
is it not cheap anymore? So the Mexicans are in
the streets protesting Americans. Who they are chanting are gringos,
(05:51):
protesting the American glingos for driving up rent, not to mention,
and this is the one that's the most ironic, erasing
our culture.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
They all celebrated the fourth of July the other day.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Yeah, how dare you now? We're not there burning their
flag by any stretch of the imagination. We're not taking
any of their government funding away from their people. But
just by being there and driving up rent, these gringos
got to go, and they're eraising our culture. I mean
(06:33):
it's oh, but isn't it ironic? Don't you think there's
a lot of buzz? Okay, so no one's buying, there's
nothing to the Septstein files. So now everybody's just in
in full free for all of what we really think
is happening. In fact, right before one in the ear
was catching one of Tucker Carlson states, Tucker, for one,
(06:55):
doesn't think it has anything with Trump being in there
that Elon Muskus is trying to push, and Tucker says,
and that's because I know the President number one, and
for all of his sentence, this isn't one of them.
He's not creepy in this way. But they do think,
you know, kind of like I mean, one of the
(07:17):
big stories today is the FBI is launching the criminal
investigation into John Brennan and James Comby. There's gonna be
zero excitement for this, right does anybody? I mean, now
we're gonna go back to the Russian hoax and do nothing.
I mean, this would have been something for the first
Trump administration maybe to have tackled. But now call me me.
(07:38):
This guy's putting eighty six forty seven in the sand
and they probably can't find anything on him. But it
just had, you know, after this Epstein debacle. The JFK
promises that weren't followed through with the RFK promises that
weren't fault. The MLK promises that weren't fault. I mean,
of course, wouldn't it be come Ian Brennan's lock. This
(08:01):
is the one they actually followed through. I mean, the
safest place for any criminal to be is to be
investigated by the FBI, it would seem. But America is
just in a full breath now of disgust. And so
I don't you know, my nephew texted me, You're not
(08:23):
buying all this, are you? And so I just kind
of texted him what we had talked about on the
air If if there's no black book, if there's no
flight logs, if there's no evidence of blackmail, you can't
The one analogy everybody's using that just doesn't work is
(08:45):
and what's you know Maxwell doing in prison? Well, she's
in prison for lining up underage girls, among other charges.
So but but if there was no evidence of any
of this, why Epsteen kill himself? That's That's the one
(09:07):
thing that will never make sense to anybody, that why
was the man given so many sheets? That's a lot
of sheets.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
I mean, Michael, they named the airplane the Lolita Express.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yeah, come on, so everybody is now now the question is, okay,
so why are we sweeping this under the rug? Why
would we have sweep JFK under the rug? You know,
the JFK one is is a little simpler. It really
falls under the line of COVID in China. What was
(09:48):
the main is the dead giveaway? What was the biggest
concern of the US government in the moments, and I
mean the moments He's not even at Parkland Hospital yet,
let alone pronounce dead. What was the big concern? We
(10:09):
were headed to war? This is a year after the
Cuban missile crisis, Cuba Russia, Bey of pigs. But even
that aside, what did the military and the CIA and
the NSA and everyone else to believe immediately every American
(10:36):
would pass the test once the closest we came to
a nuclear exchange of Russia, Oh, Cuban missile crisis. No,
it may have been the moments after Kennedy was assassinated. Look,
the FBI knew, I mean roughly about the time JFK's
pronounced dead. They were aware of our being in Mexico
(11:01):
City with the guy who headed up assassinations for Russia.
We were ready to go to war. You know, when
people ask me, you know, why do you think we
swept all that JFK stuff under the rug? Because it
would have led to World War When you look at
(11:24):
what China did. Now there's Fauci and US involvement and
gain a function research, but be that as it may.
Never mind how outraged you are that they're creating such
things in labs. And then it gets out the actions
of China after it got out to protect its own
people and be reckless to expose the rest of the
(11:45):
world and especially America. I mean, was something that specifically
targets What was the biggest surprise of COVID. Everybody forgets
about what it did to overweight people, never mind lung issues, smokers, No,
(12:06):
it was diabetics. So if Trump was winning an economic
and in the court from a public opinion, major war
against China and making their life miserable, well didn't COVID
get him back and destroy his presidency and ultimately thanks
(12:30):
to the Democrats in their shadow campaign to save the democracy,
and he attempted a second term. Why don't we investigate that? Why?
Why why does nobody want to look at China with
COVID because it could lead to a world war. But Epstein,
(12:55):
so this is my take, and I could be way off,
and that's how we have a talk back button. The
show belongs to you. Epstein is now in a file
with JFK, RFK and MLK, and for good reason, something
would be revealed that's far worse than what happened, and
(13:16):
therefore we could never know. But are you serious now
today you want us to get excited, You're gonna look
into Brennan and call me.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Finally, this is your morning show with Michael del Chno me.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
I'm in Mexico City driving up the rent. Good morning
if you're just waking up. Welcome to Wednesday, July the ninth.
These are your top five stories of the day. The
State Department is investigating after someone using an AI generated
voice impersonated Secretary of State Marco Rubio to contact both
(13:57):
US and foreign officials Stinct Departments.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Spokesperson Jammy Bruce sent her department is aware of the reports.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
The State Department, of course, is aware of this incident,
and it is currently monitoring and addressing the matter.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
The person contacted three foreign ministers and two US officials
in mid June via the Signal messaging app, and left
voicemails for at least two of them. The Cable also
share that the actor likely aimed to manipulate targeted individuals
using AI generated texts and voice messages with the goal
of gaining access to information or accounts.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
I'm Mark Matfield. Well talk it up to another victory
for President Trump. The Supreme Court will allow the Trump
administration to resume plans to carry out mass job cuts
across federal agencies. Brian shook you all Morning Long reports.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Justice is lifted a district judges order blocking the large
scale federal layoffs that could potentially impact hundreds of thousands
of jobs. The Supreme Court said it was not assessing
the legality of any specific plans for layoffs at federal agencies.
President Trump signed an executive order in February directing agencies
to prepare for the government overhaul.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
I'm Brian Shuck. I'm just thinking, do we have you
can leave your hat on as a rejoin. I can
make that happen for you. We shouldn't be a good one,
wouldn't it. Bound Bound Boum Boum's had a pretty solid intro.
You can leave your shoes on at the airport for
security screenings. Ira Spitzer reports on the tsay's decision to
(15:23):
scrap the nearly two decade old shoe removal rule.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
The rule began in two thousand and six in response
to the failed shoe bomber plot five years earlier, but
has remained unpopular ever since. In a statement, Homeland Security
Secretary Christy Nomes says she expects the change will drastically
decrease passenger wait times, leading to what she called a
more pleasant and efficient passenger experience.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Ira Spitzer, San Francisco. You know, like they're going to
reissue peanuts again. Get a hold of yourself. In baseball,
the Tigers for two over the Rays Oi. Those Tigers
are good. Cardinals beat the Nats four to two. Guardians
that's two in a row after losing ten in a row,
out slugged the Astros ten to six, Angels lost Big
(16:11):
thirteen to one to the Rangers, Dbacks lost one nothing
to the Pods as Rock the Braves ten to one,
and the Dodgers lost to the Brew Crew three to one.
Birthdays today and Jeffrey can't stand him. Tom Hanks is
sixty nine, Little Wonder years, Fred Savage is forty nine,

Welcome to Wednesday, July, the ninth year of Our Lord,
twenty twenty five on the Aaron streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app. This is the show that belongs to you.
This is your morning show. Honored to serve you. I'm
Michael Jeffrey's got the sound read keeping an eye on
the content. We want to welcome two great cities. Buffalo,
New York, and Tucson, Arizona, Buffalo. We're excited for the
(17:43):
all new AM twelve seventy The Patriot WUSW. It's Buffalo's
conservative talk station, and don't you think it's about time
Buffalo had one. We do proud to start the day
at twelve seventy the Patriot in Buffalo, and we welcome
the great seven ninety k NST in Tucson, Arizona. Just
(18:06):
like me to be standing on a corner in Tucson,
Arizona instead of Winslow, Arizona. We'll we welcome these two
great stations to our your morning show family. It is
a show that belongs to you, not to a city,
not to a radio station, certainly not to this host.
It belongs to you, and we can't have it without
your voice. So make your voice heard each morning. If
you're listening on the iHeartRadio app, go see a microphone
(18:27):
press it. It's very impressive and professional. It'll count you
down three two, one, and you have thirty seconds to
make a comment, ask a question, and take your place
at this morning's kitchen table. No more rotting on hold
and talk radio. Instantly you are at the table, so
use the talkback button. For those of you that prefer
to type, we have the email Michael d at iHeartMedia
(18:49):
dot com. All right, if you're just waking up, this
is shocking for everyone. The missing Texas flood victim number
has quadrupled over night, Governor Rabbit releasing the figures that
there's some one hundred and seventy two officially unaccounted for
this as the death toll has risen to one hundred
(19:11):
and eleven. Another victory in the Supreme Court for Trump.
His administration can resume its plans to carry out mascots
of federal agencies, and the TSA says, our life is
all better now we can leave our shoes on. Hey,
who knows, maybe a smile and a peanut isn't far off.
Whenever things would get out of control in my home
(19:32):
when we were kids, yeah, just because you know whatever.
I would talk to groups and you know, say how
many of you are parents, and how many of you
have only one child? And when they would raise their
hands and say, put that down, You're not a parent.
Anybody can raise one kid. That's a You gotta have
enough kids where they can turn on you, where you
can be outnumbered. Yeah, well they got numbers on you.
(19:53):
And so when things get out of control, my dad,
who was a radio personality, my dad's voice did needed
no no compression, no EQ or no reverb. It was
naturally in his vocal courts. So it was bigger than life.
And with my father cleared his voice, he had two
threats in one minute. We never did find out what
(20:14):
would happened in one minute, okay, And then it was
I want all of you to go to your rooms
when things just get out of hand. There was something
settling about all right, let's just split them up and
send them all to their rooms. At least gets control
of the situation. Maybe that's what we need to do.
This definitely falls under the headline ironic headline Mexicans protest
(20:37):
American gringos driving up rent and erasing culture. That's right,
Mexicans are taking to the streets to protest to Mexico
City the wave of American what they call digital nomads
and tourists they say are driving up rents and dis
(21:00):
displacing locals from their neighborhoods. Any of this sound familiar,
This is like right out of the Chicago Tribune two
years ago. What began is largely peaceful on Friday, a
march through Condessa. By the way, I like to do that,
(21:21):
like the anchors do. Just throw in the accent, develop
the accent as you said, Yeah, I love like an
anchor is talking in absolute perfect English. And then they
get to a Condessa and they put the accent with
the French or Russian or any of them, but any other.
They want to prove that they can do it anyway,
just you know, kind of like you know, obviously taking
(21:43):
their cues from the US. You know, we started out
with a little peaceful march and then uh, you know,
start smashing some store front windows. Next thing, you know,
you start grabbing some televisions. Then you grab a couple
of foreigners and scare the crap out of them, spray
paint some graffiti, get out of my hole. At least
(22:04):
they're damaging their own country and making their statement. The
signs are saying, gringoes, stop stealing our homes, demanding tougher
housing laws. The targets are mostly American tourists, so called
digital nomads, who can work remotely from anywhere, so they
relocate to places that are cheaper or more scenic. The
(22:29):
influx began in twenty twenty, when, by the way, I'm
the only one that wants that. You know, this would
be life changing for me if I went to Italy.
Do you realize I'm doing the show at one o'clock
in the afternoon instead of getting up at three am,
being on the air at five am. That far ahead. Really, yeah,
it makes sense, doesn't it. It makes sense? Yeah, well,
eleven or noon somewhere in there. Either way, it's it
(22:53):
would be delightful scenery. But apparently a lot of Americans
digital nomads. They go to Mexico and this all began
after COVID in twenty twenty, and now the Mexicans are
upset with US for invading their country, erasing their culture,
and driving up their expenses. Isn't it ironic?
Speaker 5 (23:20):
I had to make sure I wasn't looking at the
Babylon b That.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Story, well, I put that right up there with our
other favorite story, which is Mandini. Ma'm Donnie. You should say,
Ma'm Donnie. Mandini makes him sound like a magician. Headline
in New York Times, Mam Donnie once claimed to be
Asian and African American. Should it matter, question Mark, Well,
(23:50):
he's a Shia Muslim, so he's lying on his Columbia
University form. I think Red had probably the most honest action.
Are you serious? Did Andrew Cuomo not do any opposition
opposition research on this guy? My first thought went to
(24:12):
the law of diminishing return. That which is shocking today
is normal tomorrow. Now that means you gotta be really
shocking tomorrow, and then that becomes normal. So we've been
down this road with Elizabeth Warren who claimed to be
Native American and had did she have any or was
it like zero point zero point zero one percent.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
One one hundred and sixty fourth? I believe it was, yeah,
you know, and I mean from Oklahoma. Come on, that's everybody.
But I guess if you didn't care when she did it,
who cares that he's doing it? But that's not the irony.
The irony is and I could play talk radio here.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Soul Man was a great movie with c Thomas Howell
and Raydon Cheng. I bring that up because I had
a crush on Raydon Cheng when I was a teenager.
She was adorable. Anyway, She's a black student working in
the cafeteria and he finds out by faking to be
black and getting a scholarship to Harvard, that it's her
scholarship he took. He eventually comes clean, but yeah, there
(25:18):
is that notion. Who's the place at Columbia did he
get by claiming to be Asian or African American?
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Well, the funny part, Michael, is he didn't get in.
Speaker 8 (25:32):
Well but even with his parents working there, and well
that actually, you're right, that is the biggest irony.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Can't even get into a university his parents are working at.
But you know, I mean, there's that's what's misleading about this.
That's what's despicable about this, that you would fake something.
But yeah, I'm with you. Didn't anybody do any opposition
research whatsoever? But that's not the irony. The irony is
on the day the New York Times is doing that story,
(26:02):
is the story that the New York teacher's largest teachers
union endorsed them from mayre. So you could say it
out on one side of your mouth, My gosh, didn't
Andrew Cuomo do any opposition research on this guy? Well
did the teachers union? I mean, they're in the same
(26:22):
paper on different pages. Go figure if if there's anything
even even close to what we're experiencing with the Epstein investigation,
I guess it would be JFK. Right, And you can
(26:47):
meet people sixty years later thoroughly convinced it was Oswald.
But even in that, okay, if you think Oswal locked
head alone, what was he doing in Mexico City two
weeks earlier, and why was he meeting with the Cuban
(27:09):
government and the person that presided over assassinations for the
Soviet Union. Even if a lot of people you know,
the magic bullet of the Warrant Commission is somewhat laughable.
It simply doesn't understand where the shooter was. On a
(27:32):
sixth floor, the trajectory down the offset of Governor Conley.
He was beneath the president, so the President the first
Lady were in a raised seat. They were in set
to him. It's a straight line through his neck, out
the front of his throat into the back of Conley.
(27:55):
And the soft tissue that it went through to go
through the back of the President's neck and out his throat,
it was virtually nothing. So it was basically from the
torso through the wrist and then lodged into the It's
all explainable, but to this day you have people who
(28:17):
believe it was Oswaldt. You have people that believe it
was our own government, or it was the mafia, or
was all the buff and it just goes into that
jar of conspiracy insanity. And that's apparently where we're going
to send Epstein, and that's apparently where we're going to
send JFK sixty years later to remain r MLK. I
(28:39):
gotta do this for red. And what about Trump's assassination?
Is anybody even going to look into that? I saw
the funniest thing this morning. It's every time I get
the visual and it's such a cheap laugh. I'm embarrassed
to admit it. But it's a guy posted using AI
(29:00):
they found the missing video at the Epstein jail, and
there's Hillary in a blue pants suit. I saw that
she looked a little chunky on the back end. We
got the giggles over. I said, you know, I don't know,
I'm kind of tired. I may have to put it
on autopilot and take a rest. And then we started
going through the autopilot scene in the movie Airplane and
Leslie Nielsen walking in. You know the look on his face.
(29:21):
I mean, I I still crack him, but every time
I picture that pants suit walking through the door. What
were so many sheets doing in there? If there's nothing
on this guy, why did he kill himself? I don't
necessarily think he killed himself obviously, but so out there
(29:42):
was no video. Now there's video. Yeah. So but no
matter what you doesn't matter what this is like JFK,
No matter what angle you take, you can't end it
because you can't make sense of a lie. So you know,
I'm gonna make one serious statement today. Nobody's buying there
(30:06):
was nothing to this Epstein's story.
Speaker 7 (30:08):
This.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
I brought this up with John, our White House correspondent
John Decker. He laughed out loud. But this reminds me
of after the twenty twenty election, when the Trump officials
were promising a Kraken was coming. You can't keep making
promises without losing people's trust when you don't deliver. No
(30:31):
kraken ever arrived, a Senil o Man and a fake
presidency in an auto pen arrived, and war in Ukraine
and people hanging off planes in Afghanistan. But here's my
serious comment. Promising to give us the information we've deserved
all along on JFK and then not delivering. See promising
(30:57):
the same for OURFK as, our FK juniors in this
administration's cabinet, two mlks, now epstein'strike four not even bringing
up the Trump assassination. Blow it away for a ball.
And now you want to bring up Bannon and Komby,
(31:23):
Brennan and Koby and come on, what a joke. But
here's what's serious. They all add to the lack of trust.
That's the biggest problem in America today, and not just
our loss and trust with government, our loss of trust
(31:45):
with political office holders, our loss of trust with the
media and reporters, and our loss of trust in each
others carried out in the social dilemma. He must have
had a black book. Of course, he had a flight log.
(32:07):
I mean, he could have had all those cameras because
he's a pervert and like to watch. But he liked
to gather powerful people and if he had them filmed
in very compromising positions, that's my concern. I add Epstein
(32:28):
to a long list, a long list that adds up
to more mistrust.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
It's your morning show with Michael del Choano.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
This business. If you're not careful, all you'll report on
is bad news. The good news is there, just got
to find it, and we found some. There's nothing I
respect more than police officers, firefighters, paramedics. These are people
that risk their life every day to protect ours. And
we have some good news.
Speaker 7 (32:56):
Now.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
We're only halfway through the year, but the CEO of
the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, Bill Alexander, is
with us, and Bill, the numbers look good as far
as fatalities report, right, Michael, good morning.
Speaker 9 (33:08):
Yes, yes, indeed they do. We don't really love to
use the words good news when we're talking about even
a single officer dying. And I know you don't mean
it that way, but certainly this is a very very
positive trend to be down so substantially for the first
six months this year.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
All right, So what doll we credit this too?
Speaker 9 (33:25):
You know, I think it's a couple of high level things.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
One.
Speaker 9 (33:28):
I think there's just no question that both efforts on
our side from our organization in terms of finding creating
programs and best practices which make it safer for the
men and women out on the streets.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
We aren't alone in that effort.
Speaker 9 (33:39):
Every major law enforcement organization has been doing the same
thing for decades.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
I hope to some degree, these numbers reflect that long work.
Speaker 9 (33:47):
I also think that the change in the tone and
rhetoric of all and about law enforcement over the last
six to eight months particularly has helped bolster the morales
of the men and women in uniform, and I think
to some degree it is likely shaping public response to
law enforcement and when they're actually interacting with law enforcement.
Not universally, but I think it is changing ever so
(34:09):
slightly those marginal and oftentimes really tragic and fatal outcomes.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
I'm hoping to some degree that's it.
Speaker 9 (34:16):
And my final thought is that violent crime seems to
be going down mostly around the nation. I think that's
because cities and towns states have re engaged on that front,
and the idea that we should be defunding or marginalizing
law enforcement agencies, I hope continues to wane, but I
hope that that is also playing a factor here, that
(34:36):
the fewer robberies and carjackings and murders law enforcement officers
have to respond to, the fewer times they are going
topletely be put in harm's way and ultimately killed.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Bill appreciate you joining us this morning. We've got to
have you back when we have more time If people
want to get this information, where can they find it?
Speaker 9 (34:54):

Memorial Fund. We are a non It never received so much.

Speaker 9 (35:03):

please do so.
Speaker 4 (35:06):

We're all in this together. This is your morning show
