Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael. I'd love to have you listen to
your morning show live. Every day We're heard on great
stations like News Talk five point fifty KFYI and Phoenix
News Radio, eleven ninety k EX in Portland and ten
ninety The Patriot in Seattle. Make us a part of
your morning routine. We'd love to have you listen live.
But in the meantime, enjoy the podcast starting your morning
(00:20):
off right. A new way of talk, a new way
of understanding, because we're in this together.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
This is your Morning Show with Michael O'Dell Chuman.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Donald Trump. With another victory from the Supreme Court, this
will allow the Trump administration to resume plans to carry
out mass job cuts across federal agencies. TSA says leaders
shoes on after two decades of taking them off, and
Governor Abbott after a news conference. Now the death toll
from the catastrophic flooding in Texas is above one hundred
(00:55):
and eleven, and then quadrupling is the number overnight of
flood victims that are missing. That number has now risen
to seventy two. Our national correspondent Roy o'neilis here. We're
gonna talk a little bit about side hustles, but before
we get to that, that number was at about forty
(01:15):
right yesterday. Now after looking into this, we think there's
more like one hundred and seventy two still unaccounted for,
and the death toll has risen from one hundred and
four to.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
One hundred eleven, right so, and we're also talking about
the six county area. So I know that sometimes you'll
hear numbers that suddenly started that's suddenly low.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I thought it was higher.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Remember in those numbers who gave one hundred and seventy
plus missing, one hundred and eleven dead. Those are for
the six county area that's been affected by these floods.
And again, the search and recovery operations are continuing, another
commitment from the governor yesterday saying they will not stop
working until everyone is accounted for. You know, we did
get the grim confirmation that the last survive iver of
(02:00):
the flood in Kerr County was found on Friday, So
they haven't found anyone alive since then, which is troubling news.
But the crews are still out there and there's just
so much debris to clear and to go through as
they search for any of the victims.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
And we're going to come back in the third hour
and talk about the warnings. And you know, this is
stuff that from the very beginning we were we were
talking about the warnings came out. It was late at night,
the rain was worse, the surge was worse than expected.
We don't know if phones were on, you know, the
(02:38):
settings were on. We don't know if they had cell service.
So there's a lot of things to scrutinize there. We'll
do that in the third hour. All right. New report
shows twenty seven percent of Americans have a side hustle.
And actually that's down. That's a number that's been trending down.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
You know, at the height of the inflation spike after
COVID in twenty twenty two, three, and twenty four, we
used to see thirty six even thirty nine percent of
Americans had side hustles.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Now that's down to twenty seven percent.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Some do it because they need to make money to
pay the bills every month. Others do it for their sanity.
You know, it's their little side job they like to do.
They hate the Monday through Friday nine to five, but
they do this little something extra on the side because
out of pure enjoyment, others have goals.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
You know, I'm going to save.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Money for our vacation or a car or a pay
off a credit card bill.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
So plenty of different reasons in there.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
But it's interesting a younger workers, about a third, think
they're going to need some sort of a side hustle
the rest of their lives.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
So you have a forty hour work week and then
on top of it, you go out in uber for
a little while or I don't remember, I don't know
all the names of these things. What's someone that delivers
food uber each door dash? Yeah, my kids use door dash.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Me.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I just go, I open the cabinet door and just
stare at it the old fashioned way and there's nothing
in there. But it's stuff like that. I mean, what
are the top side hustles. Yeah, so a lot of
it is online sales.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
They'll do some if they make a product and it's
their hobby and say they would working and they'll sell
their products online. It's professional or business services like freelance writing,
web design, graphic design, some sort of consulting. Then maybe
in addition to what they do during the week, and
as you said, food delivery is out there landscaping. Pet
sitting is another big side hustle that's out there as well.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Pet sitting is huge. I thought I had it made
with delivering subpoenas. My high school coach had a contract
with the law firm, and I made great money. When
my friends had these jobs that would tie up all
their time, I would go deliver subpoenas for a couple
of hours and I was making as much money more
than them. But I can tell you the amount of
money my daughters make pet sitting while in college would
(04:50):
jaw drop. Rory has a side hustle too. It's called
the weekend dive. Oh there you go.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah, I did pet sitting, but it was a swamp
so that I stayed in their place in Hamburg, Germany
for a month taking care of two cats and a snake.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I can tell you that there is a pair of
doctors uh and their dogs go to school every day.
What they paid my daughter to drive them to school,
pick them up from school, then sleep over with them
and they would be out of town for like six
seven days would be jaw dropping to you. There are
people and then they were gone so often. I was like,
why did they even have dogs, but yeah, pet sitting
(05:29):
good money.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I'm sure they paid all their taxes on that income, right,
No idea I.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Did, unfortunately, Yeah, I do everything by the book. I can't.
I stole Elmer's Glue when I was five years old
because it had the same last name as my grandfather
and glue Elmer's Glue, well, you know his name was
Howard Elmer. I do everything by the book. All right,
we'll talk to you in the third hour. Red and
(06:00):
I just had a conversation off the air. I don't
know how to do it on the air. The easy
way for me to do it is to say, Okay,
nobody's buying this Epstein story, and this is a massive
loss of trust. And then Red made a comment, you
(06:24):
know this could explain Elon Musk. I got it instantly.
I don't know if you're getting it instantly right now,
but this is a can of worms that I you know,
I'm trying to be responsible because there's more we don't
know than do. No, we just feel like something's being withheld.
And they promised they knew, and they promised they would deliver. Now,
(06:48):
this is going to sound mean, and I don't want
it to sound mean, my wife was a huge fan
of Dan Bongino. I wasn't only because I do for
a living. I mean, I don't think. I don't think
doctor's surgeons after operating for eight hours a day go
home and watch television shows about surgery. It's just it's
(07:10):
kind of like that. I will tell you this. Dan
Bongino is a heck of a lot better talk show
host than I would be a secret service agent. That's
my kindest way of saying it. But I I what
I have heard, mostly his speeches or him being guests
on other shows. I have nothing but high respect for.
(07:36):
I like his mind, I like his background. I like
the way he frames conversations. So I'm going to do
something that will lead into what I think read was implying.
Where is he fact? This guy had one of the
(08:01):
top four podcasts for two years, had a radio show
for a company I used to work for. I don't
think he liked him anymore than I did. Then went
on on his own he had a successful podcast. That's
hard to do. I mean him, Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan.
(08:25):
I'm gonna leave somebody out and then I'm gonna get
nasty emails. But I guess I'll throw them Magan Kelly
in there. That's hard to do, and it's to be respected.
And if you're lucky enough to have achieved that, and
you're good enough to have achieved that, that's a lot
to walk away from. Now, having said that, think about
(08:46):
the two years a body of work of him. Just
discussing Epstein. You want to really go on a fun
rabbit hole trip. Google Tuck Carlson interviewing Dan Bongino about
the Trump assassination. When he talks about levels of incompetence
(09:13):
equally intent, it's brilliant stuff. So I'm just gonna pick
one person out. But I can do the very same
exercise with Cash Patel. Many of you do the same
exercise with Donald Trump. Ah Trump one, We're gonna get
to the bottom of jfk Oh Trump one. We're gonna
(09:34):
get to the bottom of rfk Oh Trump one. We're
gonna get to the bottom of mlk Oh Trump one.
We're gonna in the bottom of his own assassination.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
No, you're not, well wait a minute now, because he's
got Cash Patel.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
And he's got damn Bongino just left his Number four podcast.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I mean this guy's gonna mean business. And this is
what we get. Oh, it wasn't. It wasn't a murder
with suicide. He just likes sheets. There was no black book,
there's no flight logs, there's nothing. He wasn't blackmailing anybody.
Nothing there. So then Red makes a comment, well, this
(10:13):
explains a lot with Elon Musk. Why because maybe Elon
Musk is the one guy in all of his brilliance
and spectrum and they do go together, which makes him
smart enough to get to space, smart enough to change
(10:36):
and revolutionize the automobile industry, but childlike enough to jump
on stage like a goofball? Is he the one guy
that got to Washington? And you couldn't change his focus,
You couldn't silence his voice, you couldn't get him to ignore.
(11:01):
Why do all these people promise big revelations and then
they get there and we get the same sweeping under
the rug And then in a social media world where
left with everybody's imagination going wild, I have no clue.
(11:24):
I don't get Elon Musk. I don't get what he's
doing to his own interests. He's risked them enough and
now he's trying to find the other half of the
equation to destroy everything he's built, because in the end,
the left's gonna hate him and the right's gonna hate him.
I don't know what he's doing, but I really don't
know what became of our hope in cash Pttel, What
(11:49):
became of our hope in Dan Bongino, What became of
our hope. If we've got a second Trump administration, there'd
be some justice. And I can just tell you twenty
eight hours later, nobody's buying there's nothing to this Epstein story.
And there's a massive loss of trust in a nation
(12:13):
already reeling from its people not trusting it's government or
elected officials. But that may be one of the wiser
things I've ever heard anybody just throw out into the room. Yeah,
that could explain Elon. He may be the one guy
that couldn't get there and get sucked into it. Every
time I'm in Washington, I am telling you, do you
(12:36):
know the human instinct to fight or flee? I have
both simultaneously. I don't know whether to tip over tables
or run elbows over you know what, Run, take a
shower and get out of there. That's how filthy that
place is. Maybe Elon's the one guy they couldn't suck in.
(12:59):
Get the sh shut up, and that's why he saw
too much. But anyway, that's the latest. Uh and and
you know, this just feels like a middle finger to me.
And now the very FBI that doesn't deliver on Epstein
and says, oh, after all there was nothing, doesn't deliver
(13:21):
on JFK, doesn't deliver on RFK, doesn't deliver on MLK,
doesn't deliver a thing on the Trump assassination. Now they
announced the criminal investigation to do. John Brennan and James
call me me, let's go back to don't give Pam
Bondy a free pass here. I don't know what to
(13:45):
make of that. The only thing I can clear her
on is is I think when I went back and
watched that video from February, I think she was clearly
talking about the directive and not the Black Book being
on her date free with you, Michael. But that wasn't
the question, and she was given and she diverted from
it perfectly, like a true Washington inspider. I guess I
(14:08):
really leave it up to you all in talkbacks. You know,
is this just an Epstein thing? You're willing to let
go of or is it Epstein plus JFK r K
MLK Trump and now seriously, Comy and Brennan, who has
any trust in that? Or what are your thoughts on
you know, Dan Bongino take take his worst non substantive
(14:30):
show of the last four years. How does that add up?
What did he give up to go do? What didn't
you have higher hopes for cash? Betel? Coming up in
our Sounds of the Day, you hear the President respond
to the direct question on Epstein as your Morning show continues.
(14:50):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Trono AI
as Weird It's Ugly had. The State Department is investigating
after someone used AI generated voice impersonations to personate the
Secretary of State Marco Ruvio and make contact with the
US and foreign officials.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
State Department spokesperson Jammy Bruce sent her department is aware
of the reports.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
The State Department, of course, is aware of this incident
and is currently monitoring and addressing the matter.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
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 1 (15:35):
Our Mark Metfield won't denounce the NTIFADA, doesn't believe in police,
doesn't believe in capitalism. Of course, he gets the endorsement
of the largest teachers union in New York.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
The powerful United Federation of Teachers, endorsed Democratic nominees or
on Mam Donnie Tuesday. After being unable to pick a
preferred candidate in the primary, Union president Michael Mulgrew told
reporters their choice was between Mom Donnie current mayor Eric Adams,
despite previously calling Adams a quote hostage to the Trump administration,
(16:06):
He added the retirees in the city's largest teachers union
largely backed Andrew Cuomo in an internal poll, while most
active UF team members supported Mom Donnie Andrew Whitman. NBC
News Radio New York.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
And that's your top five stories.
Speaker 9 (16:21):
Of the day, Chris is Gabrew at Saint Louis and
you're listening to your mourningship with Michael dell Jora.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Hi, I'm Michael. We'd love to have you listen every
weekday morning to your morning show live, even take us
along with you on the drive to work. We can
be heard on great radio stations like one oh four
ninth The Patriot in Saint Louis, Our Talk Radio ninety
eight point three and fifteen ten WLAC and Nashville, and
News Talk five fifty k f YI in Phoenix, Arizona.
Love to be a part of your morning routine. But
we're always grateful you're here now. Enjoyed the podcast on
(17:03):
the air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This
is your morning show. Remember, can't have your morning show
without your voice. Thank goodness for the invention of the talkback.
No longer do you rot on hold and wait. You
instantly press a button and boom, we get your comment
in question, just like this one from Chris. Just like
(17:24):
this one from Chris.
Speaker 10 (17:26):
Good morning, Michael. I'll spend many years working in a jail.
And if somebody on Suicide Watch, which I believe Epstein was,
you don't even have sheets. You're wearing a suicide prevention
vest or paper. So if he had multiple sheets, that's
way outside the norm.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I think multiple is an understatement for the amount of
sheets that were in that room. Then we had missing
video footage, and then suddenly it's not missing, and sure
looked like he was murdered, but no concluded he committed suicide.
And if there is no black book and there is
no blackmail and there's nothing to this story, why did
he bother to kill himself? These are all the questions
we have. Big John Next, I really think Pam Bondie's
(18:12):
got to give a press conference about these Epstein files
as soon as possible.
Speaker 10 (18:16):
Guess my opinion.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I don't know what I You know, you'll hear in
sounds the day some questions the President got And I again,
I can't. I can't unlearn everything I heard Dan Bongino
talk about for the last two to four years. I
can't unlearn everything Cash but Tell or Pam Bondi or
(18:40):
others have talked about for the last two to four years.
It makes sense of this story. Austin is next.
Speaker 11 (18:45):
I feel like you're overestimating the importance of the Epstein files.
Two everyday hardworking Americans. It never crosses my mind, not
even once.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Well, that's purely anecty. It certainly crosses Prince Andrew's mind.
He's been removed from the royal family. If you have
former presidents who are having sex with underage children and
a massive cover up, or if you've had elected officials
who've been compromised due to blackmail. Look, it may not
(19:19):
cross your mind that you had a fake president for
four years, but it crosses my mind. It's the greatest
political hoax. This isn't just our living in a little
world to ourselves. It's an offense to the Declaration of Independence,
(19:43):
it's an offense to the Constitution, it's an offense to
our intent. And if you don't care and a government
upformed by the people, well we're in real trouble. No. Look,
I can walk at you at the same time. I
know what you're saying. You've got a job, you got
(20:04):
a to do list, you got a wife, you got children.
I get that. But the minute our honeydew list is
too big for us to carry out our duties in
a constitutional republic, a government of the people, it's going
(20:25):
to be a problem. And it's not just this. We
know nothing more about the Trump assassination. We know nothing
more about Epstein, nothing more about JFK, RFK MLK, And
now they want us to care about comy flip flip is.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Next wwh dd water's wet, fire's hot, dust is dry.
If we can't agree on that fact, the rest is lunacy.
And that's the world they live in in Washington.
Speaker 9 (20:56):
D C.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I think he's talking about is self evident truth. We
can't even agree on water's water. Probably the greatest of
my life is I literally watched America trying to convince
himself that criminals are good and cops are criminal. Yeah,
(21:20):
that's a ww F for sure. Doug gets the final say.
Speaker 12 (21:27):
My whole theory on the Epstein thing is that Jeffrey
Epstein was a massade operation to gain intelligence, not powerful people.
And the reason why none of it can be released
is because they's say national security issue.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Yeah. I was watching a video with Tucker Carlson. I
think he lays out that's the most reasonable explanation that
there's more to this story. He doesn't think it's what
Elon Musk thinks, that it's because Trump is in there.
And this is Tucker saying this. I know Trump, and
for all of his sins, this isn't one of them.
(22:06):
This isn't his thing that he suspects something like that
whatever it is. You know, Red used an analogy earlier
off the air, back in the days when everybody was blogging.
I used to make fun of a local radio station
that I competed with in a different city, and they
would run these promos a major announcement today it's seven
(22:29):
oh five. You know, you say something like that, you
better have a major freaking announcement at seven oh five.
Then you tune in at seven oh five and it's
you know, it's a contest or something. You don't that's
by the way, that's buried. I want to I almost
(22:49):
have to. I almost have to throw a shout out
to the Atlantic at the risk of losing my eternal soul.
The Atlantic is famous for writing long and I don't
know why, I you know, nothing like sending me in
an article late at night, because you know, I swear
it's like I used to leave these messages for my
(23:11):
dad that would go on and on and on, and
at the end I would say, and the code word
to prove that you would listen to the entire messages
water logged. And you know then when he would call
me back, he go, ah, water logged, Like, oh yeah,
you listened the whole thing. But it was like a
gang how much can I get you to listen to?
And that's how they write, and it goes on and
on forever. And they basically were saying careful with all
(23:34):
this finger pointing and flooding, and then they logically and
responsibly went through everything, which is why it went on
for pages and pages and lost in it is something
nobody's ever talked about. It's what we often talk about
with hurricanes. Why do we end up with people dying
(23:54):
in hurricanes because of dramatic predictions and forecasts and crying
wool for years and then nothing happens. And that's what
makes them think I'm gonna write it out and then
you get a Katrina. So yeah, this is flash flood Alley.
That ought to be your first clue. But when you
(24:18):
live in flash flood Alley and since nineteen thirty seven,
these forecasters are all telling you, Boop's gonna hit the fan,
Boop's gon to hit the fan. The poop doesn't hit
the fan. Then the poop does hit the fan, even
worse than you thought it was, and in the middle
of the night, at a hundred year historic level. But
(24:38):
don't forget all those other watches and warnings, and then
everybody wants to make it about the watches in the warnings,
did they have cell service, where they asleep, where their
phone set to trigger or silence? And how many years
of camp directors hearing these warnings and nothing since nineteen
(24:58):
thirty seven. That's all a part of it. So you
can't get away with this. Oh, when we get elected,
you're gonna find out about Epstein. When we get elected,
You're going to find out about JFK. When we get elected,
the Kraken is going to be And then nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.
(25:20):
That all adds up to a tremendous lack of trust.
All right, if you are just waking up these all right,
our top five stories of the day. I don't know
why the President Trump's engaging in this. I would just
let the Democrats fight their own zoron mom donnie dilemma.
(25:41):
But the President got involved again, calling Mam Donnie a
communist and implying that if he's elected mayor of New
York City it could trigger a federal takeover.
Speaker 13 (25:50):
Who's not very capable in my opinion, other than he's
got a good.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Line of book.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
President Trump trashing state Assemblyman Zora and Mom Donnie Well
at the same time claiming he's not getting involved in
the race for the Big Apples mayor this November. But
at a Tuesday news conference, Trump worn voters not to
cast their ballots for the thirty three year old Democratic
socialist who's leading in the polls.
Speaker 13 (26:11):
He if the communist gets elected to run New York,
it can never be the same.
Speaker 7 (26:16):
Trump also claimed the White House has tremendous power to
run places. Governor Cathy Hochal's response, the voters decide who'll
run New York City, not a president who wants to
be king. I'm Sarah le Kessler.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Supreme Court gave the president another big victory. He can
resume his plans to carry out mass job cuts across
federal agency.
Speaker 14 (26:35):
Justices 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 1 (26:57):
I'm Brian Schuck. Oh don't get exact, and you still
have to take your belts off, and there's still no peanuts,
but you can leave your shoes out at the airport.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
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.

Iras Betzer San Francisco, Alice Cooper is headed to the
Radio Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
He will be only the second artist to be inducted
as a performer in both the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame and the Radio Hall of Fame. The first
person was R and B legend James Brown. The ten
new inductees into the Radio Hall of Fame fort twenty
twenty five will be honored in person during the twenty
twenty five Radio Hall of Fame Induction ceremony. The event
takes place in Chicago on October the thirtieth. I'm Marknefield.
(27:58):
My gosh, I think it was nineteen seventy seven. The
doorbell rang in Harlington Heights, Illinois, and me and my
brother Vic answered the door and there was a girl scout.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
And she was like, I've sent cookies, and so then
we went, oh, okay cookies, see a saday and she
got I got mint cookies, I got Shika cookies. And
I don't know what it was, but for thirty years
after that we would always go Schuga cookies. To this day,
I could call my brother and go sugar cookies, and.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Maybe I should. Today is National Sugar Cookie Day.
Speaker 15 (28:34):
Sugar cookies are typically a winter holiday staple, but slap
on some frosting and cheerful sprinkles and you have yourself
a some retreat. You can bake them on your own
or buy them, no judgment. Crummy Cookie says the average
American eats about two hundred cookies every year. That's nearly
four a week. A lofty but achievable goal. I'm Bree Tennis.

I'm a big ad Democratic. This is like a goldstong,
always revealing you should have a government that just minds
its own damn entertaining. Time for your Sounds of the day. Well,
(29:54):
it didn't take long. We talked about this with our
White House correspondent John Decker yesterday. Obviously the president has
very transparent cabinet meetings and invites the press in, and
there's going to be questions, and there's going to be
a lot concerning the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
Speaker 16 (30:07):
And there was your memo and released yesterday and Jeffrey
Epstein less the leader in mysteries. One of the biggest
ones is whether he ever worked for an American foreign
intelligence agency. The former Labor Secretary, who is Miami US
attorney Alex Kostiki, allegedly said that he did work for
(30:29):
an intelligence agency.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
So could you resolve whether.
Speaker 16 (30:31):
Or not he did, and also could you say why
there was a minute missing from the jailhouse tape on
the night of the steps.
Speaker 13 (30:39):
Are you still talking about Jeffrey and Epstein? This guy's
been talked about for years. You're asking we have Texas,
we have this, we have all of the things, and
are people still talking about this guy that's great, that
is unbelievable? Do you want to waste the time? I
think do you feel like answered?
Speaker 17 (30:59):
I'm answering.
Speaker 13 (31:00):
I mean, I can't believe you're asking a question on
at Epstein at a time like this where we're having
some of the greatest success and also tragedy with what
happened in Texas.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
It just seems like a desecration. You know, I wasn't.
It's going to sound like I'm gangang up today, and
I don't mean to. I wasn't. I wasn't drooling over
this story like others. But the release of this now
after the tragedy in Texas and then this reaction like
(31:33):
it's outrageous that you promised to get to the bottom
of Epstein, and you made grandiose promises of what was
going to be revealed, and now nothing and somebody finally
asks a logical question, and this is how they get treated.
If this wasn't Donald Trump, you all would be very critical,
(31:55):
but you go ahead. Sure, sure.
Speaker 17 (31:57):
First to back up on that, in February, I did
an interview on Fox and it's been getting a lot
of attention because I said, I was asked a question
about the client list, and my response was it's sitting
on my desk to be reviewed, meaning the file along
with the JFK MLK files as well. That's what I
(32:21):
meant by that. Also, to the tens of thousands of
video they turned out to be child porn downloaded by
that disgusting Jeffrey Epstein, childborn is what they were never
going to be released, never going to see the lighted
day to him being an agent. I have no knowledge
about that. We can get back to you on that.
And the minute missing from the video we released the
(32:44):
video showing definitively the video was not conclusive, but the
evidence prior to it was showing he committed suicide. And
what was on that there was a minute that was
off the counter, And what we learned from Bureau of
Prisons was every year, every night they redo that video
(33:06):
as old from like nineteen ninety nine. So every night
the video is reset and every night should help the
same minute missing. So we're looking for that video to
release that.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Now convenient from the coordinate his suicide. And during that
one minute, I leave it up to you, As I
always say, I don't tell you what to think. I
just give you a lot to think about. Why even
(33:37):
focus on that? After all, we can leave our shoes out.
Speaker 18 (33:39):
We have some very exciting news to announce that today
we have started a new no shoes policy with the Department.
The Transportation Security Administration TSA will no longer require travelers
to remove their shoes when they go through our security checkpoints.
This is something that I know for quite some time
(33:59):
people have talked about in discuss.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Now we're really more concerned about the long delays, the harassment,
the bullying, the belt and why can't we get a
freaking peanut? But nice time. We're all in this Together.
This is your morning show with Michael Ndheld, Joano
Hi, I'm Michael. I'd love to have you listen to
your morning show live. Every day We're heard on great
stations like News Talk five point fifty KFYI and Phoenix
News Radio, eleven ninety k EX in Portland and ten
ninety The Patriot in Seattle. Make us a part of
your morning routine. We'd love to have you listen live.
But in the meantime, enjoy the podcast starting your morning
(00:20):
off right. A new way of talk, a new way
of understanding, because we're in this together.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
This is your Morning Show with Michael O'Dell Chuman.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Donald Trump. With another victory from the Supreme Court, this
will allow the Trump administration to resume plans to carry
out mass job cuts across federal agencies. TSA says leaders
shoes on after two decades of taking them off, and
Governor Abbott after a news conference. Now the death toll
from the catastrophic flooding in Texas is above one hundred
(00:55):
and eleven, and then quadrupling is the number overnight of
flood victims that are missing. That number has now risen
to seventy two. Our national correspondent Roy o'neilis here. We're
gonna talk a little bit about side hustles, but before
we get to that, that number was at about forty
(01:15):
right yesterday. Now after looking into this, we think there's
more like one hundred and seventy two still unaccounted for,
and the death toll has risen from one hundred and
four to.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
One hundred eleven, right so, and we're also talking about
the six county area. So I know that sometimes you'll
hear numbers that suddenly started that's suddenly low.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I thought it was higher.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Remember in those numbers who gave one hundred and seventy
plus missing, one hundred and eleven dead. Those are for
the six county area that's been affected by these floods.
And again, the search and recovery operations are continuing, another
commitment from the governor yesterday saying they will not stop
working until everyone is accounted for. You know, we did
get the grim confirmation that the last survive iver of
(02:00):
the flood in Kerr County was found on Friday, So
they haven't found anyone alive since then, which is troubling news.
But the crews are still out there and there's just
so much debris to clear and to go through as
they search for any of the victims.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
And we're going to come back in the third hour
and talk about the warnings. And you know, this is
stuff that from the very beginning we were we were
talking about the warnings came out. It was late at night,
the rain was worse, the surge was worse than expected.
We don't know if phones were on, you know, the
(02:38):
settings were on. We don't know if they had cell service.
So there's a lot of things to scrutinize there. We'll
do that in the third hour. All right. New report
shows twenty seven percent of Americans have a side hustle.
And actually that's down. That's a number that's been trending down.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
You know, at the height of the inflation spike after
COVID in twenty twenty two, three, and twenty four, we
used to see thirty six even thirty nine percent of
Americans had side hustles.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Now that's down to twenty seven percent.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Some do it because they need to make money to
pay the bills every month. Others do it for their sanity.
You know, it's their little side job they like to do.
They hate the Monday through Friday nine to five, but
they do this little something extra on the side because
out of pure enjoyment, others have goals.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
You know, I'm going to save.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Money for our vacation or a car or a pay
off a credit card bill.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
So plenty of different reasons in there.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
But it's interesting a younger workers, about a third, think
they're going to need some sort of a side hustle
the rest of their lives.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
So you have a forty hour work week and then
on top of it, you go out in uber for
a little while or I don't remember, I don't know
all the names of these things. What's someone that delivers
food uber each door dash? Yeah, my kids use door dash.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Me.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I just go, I open the cabinet door and just
stare at it the old fashioned way and there's nothing
in there. But it's stuff like that. I mean, what
are the top side hustles. Yeah, so a lot of
it is online sales.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
They'll do some if they make a product and it's
their hobby and say they would working and they'll sell
their products online. It's professional or business services like freelance writing,
web design, graphic design, some sort of consulting. Then maybe
in addition to what they do during the week, and
as you said, food delivery is out there landscaping. Pet
sitting is another big side hustle that's out there as well.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Pet sitting is huge. I thought I had it made
with delivering subpoenas. My high school coach had a contract
with the law firm, and I made great money. When
my friends had these jobs that would tie up all
their time, I would go deliver subpoenas for a couple
of hours and I was making as much money more
than them. But I can tell you the amount of
money my daughters make pet sitting while in college would
(04:50):
jaw drop. Rory has a side hustle too. It's called
the weekend dive. Oh there you go.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah, I did pet sitting, but it was a swamp
so that I stayed in their place in Hamburg, Germany
for a month taking care of two cats and a snake.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I can tell you that there is a pair of
doctors uh and their dogs go to school every day.
What they paid my daughter to drive them to school,
pick them up from school, then sleep over with them
and they would be out of town for like six
seven days would be jaw dropping to you. There are
people and then they were gone so often. I was like,
why did they even have dogs, but yeah, pet sitting
(05:29):
good money.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I'm sure they paid all their taxes on that income, right,
No idea I.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Did, unfortunately, Yeah, I do everything by the book. I can't.
I stole Elmer's Glue when I was five years old
because it had the same last name as my grandfather
and glue Elmer's Glue, well, you know his name was
Howard Elmer. I do everything by the book. All right,
we'll talk to you in the third hour. Red and
(06:00):
I just had a conversation off the air. I don't
know how to do it on the air. The easy
way for me to do it is to say, Okay,
nobody's buying this Epstein story, and this is a massive
loss of trust. And then Red made a comment, you
(06:24):
know this could explain Elon Musk. I got it instantly.
I don't know if you're getting it instantly right now,
but this is a can of worms that I you know,
I'm trying to be responsible because there's more we don't
know than do. No, we just feel like something's being withheld.
And they promised they knew, and they promised they would deliver. Now,
(06:48):
this is going to sound mean, and I don't want
it to sound mean, my wife was a huge fan
of Dan Bongino. I wasn't only because I do for
a living. I mean, I don't think. I don't think
doctor's surgeons after operating for eight hours a day go
home and watch television shows about surgery. It's just it's
(07:10):
kind of like that. I will tell you this. Dan
Bongino is a heck of a lot better talk show
host than I would be a secret service agent. That's
my kindest way of saying it. But I I what
I have heard, mostly his speeches or him being guests
on other shows. I have nothing but high respect for.
(07:36):
I like his mind, I like his background. I like
the way he frames conversations. So I'm going to do
something that will lead into what I think read was implying.
Where is he fact? This guy had one of the
(08:01):
top four podcasts for two years, had a radio show
for a company I used to work for. I don't
think he liked him anymore than I did. Then went
on on his own he had a successful podcast. That's
hard to do. I mean him, Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan.
(08:25):
I'm gonna leave somebody out and then I'm gonna get
nasty emails. But I guess I'll throw them Magan Kelly
in there. That's hard to do, and it's to be respected.
And if you're lucky enough to have achieved that, and
you're good enough to have achieved that, that's a lot
to walk away from. Now, having said that, think about
(08:46):
the two years a body of work of him. Just
discussing Epstein. You want to really go on a fun
rabbit hole trip. Google Tuck Carlson interviewing Dan Bongino about
the Trump assassination. When he talks about levels of incompetence
(09:13):
equally intent, it's brilliant stuff. So I'm just gonna pick
one person out. But I can do the very same
exercise with Cash Patel. Many of you do the same
exercise with Donald Trump. Ah Trump one, We're gonna get
to the bottom of jfk Oh Trump one. We're gonna
(09:34):
get to the bottom of rfk Oh Trump one. We're
gonna get to the bottom of mlk Oh Trump one.
We're gonna in the bottom of his own assassination.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
No, you're not, well wait a minute now, because he's
got Cash Patel.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
And he's got damn Bongino just left his Number four podcast.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I mean this guy's gonna mean business. And this is
what we get. Oh, it wasn't. It wasn't a murder
with suicide. He just likes sheets. There was no black book,
there's no flight logs, there's nothing. He wasn't blackmailing anybody.
Nothing there. So then Red makes a comment, well, this
(10:13):
explains a lot with Elon Musk. Why because maybe Elon
Musk is the one guy in all of his brilliance
and spectrum and they do go together, which makes him
smart enough to get to space, smart enough to change
(10:36):
and revolutionize the automobile industry, but childlike enough to jump
on stage like a goofball? Is he the one guy
that got to Washington? And you couldn't change his focus,
You couldn't silence his voice, you couldn't get him to ignore.
(11:01):
Why do all these people promise big revelations and then
they get there and we get the same sweeping under
the rug And then in a social media world where
left with everybody's imagination going wild, I have no clue.
(11:24):
I don't get Elon Musk. I don't get what he's
doing to his own interests. He's risked them enough and
now he's trying to find the other half of the
equation to destroy everything he's built, because in the end,
the left's gonna hate him and the right's gonna hate him.
I don't know what he's doing, but I really don't
know what became of our hope in cash Pttel, What
(11:49):
became of our hope in Dan Bongino, What became of
our hope. If we've got a second Trump administration, there'd
be some justice. And I can just tell you twenty
eight hours later, nobody's buying there's nothing to this Epstein story.
And there's a massive loss of trust in a nation
(12:13):
already reeling from its people not trusting it's government or
elected officials. But that may be one of the wiser
things I've ever heard anybody just throw out into the room. Yeah,
that could explain Elon. He may be the one guy
that couldn't get there and get sucked into it. Every
time I'm in Washington, I am telling you, do you
(12:36):
know the human instinct to fight or flee? I have
both simultaneously. I don't know whether to tip over tables
or run elbows over you know what, Run, take a
shower and get out of there. That's how filthy that
place is. Maybe Elon's the one guy they couldn't suck in.
(12:59):
Get the sh shut up, and that's why he saw
too much. But anyway, that's the latest. Uh and and
you know, this just feels like a middle finger to me.
And now the very FBI that doesn't deliver on Epstein
and says, oh, after all there was nothing, doesn't deliver
(13:21):
on JFK, doesn't deliver on RFK, doesn't deliver on MLK,
doesn't deliver a thing on the Trump assassination. Now they
announced the criminal investigation to do. John Brennan and James
call me me, let's go back to don't give Pam
Bondy a free pass here. I don't know what to
(13:45):
make of that. The only thing I can clear her
on is is I think when I went back and
watched that video from February, I think she was clearly
talking about the directive and not the Black Book being
on her date free with you, Michael. But that wasn't
the question, and she was given and she diverted from
it perfectly, like a true Washington inspider. I guess I
(14:08):
really leave it up to you all in talkbacks. You know,
is this just an Epstein thing? You're willing to let
go of or is it Epstein plus JFK r K
MLK Trump and now seriously, Comy and Brennan, who has
any trust in that? Or what are your thoughts on
you know, Dan Bongino take take his worst non substantive
(14:30):
show of the last four years. How does that add up?
What did he give up to go do? What didn't
you have higher hopes for cash? Betel? Coming up in
our Sounds of the Day, you hear the President respond
to the direct question on Epstein as your Morning show continues.
(14:50):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Trono AI
as Weird It's Ugly had. The State Department is investigating
after someone used AI generated voice impersonations to personate the
Secretary of State Marco Ruvio and make contact with the
US and foreign officials.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
State Department spokesperson Jammy Bruce sent her department is aware
of the reports.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
The State Department, of course, is aware of this incident
and is currently monitoring and addressing the matter.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
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 1 (15:35):
Our Mark Metfield won't denounce the NTIFADA, doesn't believe in police,
doesn't believe in capitalism. Of course, he gets the endorsement
of the largest teachers union in New York.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
The powerful United Federation of Teachers, endorsed Democratic nominees or
on Mam Donnie Tuesday. After being unable to pick a
preferred candidate in the primary, Union president Michael Mulgrew told
reporters their choice was between Mom Donnie current mayor Eric Adams,
despite previously calling Adams a quote hostage to the Trump administration,
(16:06):
He added the retirees in the city's largest teachers union
largely backed Andrew Cuomo in an internal poll, while most
active UF team members supported Mom Donnie Andrew Whitman. NBC
News Radio New York.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
And that's your top five stories.
Speaker 9 (16:21):
Of the day, Chris is Gabrew at Saint Louis and
you're listening to your mourningship with Michael dell Jora.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Hi, I'm Michael. We'd love to have you listen every
weekday morning to your morning show live, even take us
along with you on the drive to work. We can
be heard on great radio stations like one oh four
ninth The Patriot in Saint Louis, Our Talk Radio ninety
eight point three and fifteen ten WLAC and Nashville, and
News Talk five fifty k f YI in Phoenix, Arizona.
Love to be a part of your morning routine. But
we're always grateful you're here now. Enjoyed the podcast on
(17:03):
the air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This
is your morning show. Remember, can't have your morning show
without your voice. Thank goodness for the invention of the talkback.
No longer do you rot on hold and wait. You
instantly press a button and boom, we get your comment
in question, just like this one from Chris. Just like
(17:24):
this one from Chris.
Speaker 10 (17:26):
Good morning, Michael. I'll spend many years working in a jail.
And if somebody on Suicide Watch, which I believe Epstein was,
you don't even have sheets. You're wearing a suicide prevention
vest or paper. So if he had multiple sheets, that's
way outside the norm.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I think multiple is an understatement for the amount of
sheets that were in that room. Then we had missing
video footage, and then suddenly it's not missing, and sure
looked like he was murdered, but no concluded he committed suicide.
And if there is no black book and there is
no blackmail and there's nothing to this story, why did
he bother to kill himself? These are all the questions
we have. Big John Next, I really think Pam Bondie's
(18:12):
got to give a press conference about these Epstein files
as soon as possible.
Speaker 10 (18:16):
Guess my opinion.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I don't know what I You know, you'll hear in
sounds the day some questions the President got And I again,
I can't. I can't unlearn everything I heard Dan Bongino
talk about for the last two to four years. I
can't unlearn everything Cash but Tell or Pam Bondi or
(18:40):
others have talked about for the last two to four years.
It makes sense of this story. Austin is next.
Speaker 11 (18:45):
I feel like you're overestimating the importance of the Epstein files.
Two everyday hardworking Americans. It never crosses my mind, not
even once.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Well, that's purely anecty. It certainly crosses Prince Andrew's mind.
He's been removed from the royal family. If you have
former presidents who are having sex with underage children and
a massive cover up, or if you've had elected officials
who've been compromised due to blackmail. Look, it may not
(19:19):
cross your mind that you had a fake president for
four years, but it crosses my mind. It's the greatest
political hoax. This isn't just our living in a little
world to ourselves. It's an offense to the Declaration of Independence,
(19:43):
it's an offense to the Constitution, it's an offense to
our intent. And if you don't care and a government
upformed by the people, well we're in real trouble. No. Look,
I can walk at you at the same time. I
know what you're saying. You've got a job, you got
(20:04):
a to do list, you got a wife, you got children.
I get that. But the minute our honeydew list is
too big for us to carry out our duties in
a constitutional republic, a government of the people, it's going
(20:25):
to be a problem. And it's not just this. We
know nothing more about the Trump assassination. We know nothing
more about Epstein, nothing more about JFK, RFK MLK, And
now they want us to care about comy flip flip is.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Next wwh dd water's wet, fire's hot, dust is dry.
If we can't agree on that fact, the rest is lunacy.
And that's the world they live in in Washington.
Speaker 9 (20:56):
D C.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I think he's talking about is self evident truth. We
can't even agree on water's water. Probably the greatest of
my life is I literally watched America trying to convince
himself that criminals are good and cops are criminal. Yeah,
(21:20):
that's a ww F for sure. Doug gets the final say.
Speaker 12 (21:27):
My whole theory on the Epstein thing is that Jeffrey
Epstein was a massade operation to gain intelligence, not powerful people.
And the reason why none of it can be released
is because they's say national security issue.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Yeah. I was watching a video with Tucker Carlson. I
think he lays out that's the most reasonable explanation that
there's more to this story. He doesn't think it's what
Elon Musk thinks, that it's because Trump is in there.
And this is Tucker saying this. I know Trump, and
for all of his sins, this isn't one of them.
(22:06):
This isn't his thing that he suspects something like that
whatever it is. You know, Red used an analogy earlier
off the air, back in the days when everybody was blogging.
I used to make fun of a local radio station
that I competed with in a different city, and they
would run these promos a major announcement today it's seven
(22:29):
oh five. You know, you say something like that, you
better have a major freaking announcement at seven oh five.
Then you tune in at seven oh five and it's
you know, it's a contest or something. You don't that's
by the way, that's buried. I want to I almost
(22:49):
have to. I almost have to throw a shout out
to the Atlantic at the risk of losing my eternal soul.
The Atlantic is famous for writing long and I don't
know why, I you know, nothing like sending me in
an article late at night, because you know, I swear
it's like I used to leave these messages for my
(23:11):
dad that would go on and on and on, and
at the end I would say, and the code word
to prove that you would listen to the entire messages
water logged. And you know then when he would call
me back, he go, ah, water logged, Like, oh yeah,
you listened the whole thing. But it was like a
gang how much can I get you to listen to?
And that's how they write, and it goes on and
on forever. And they basically were saying careful with all
(23:34):
this finger pointing and flooding, and then they logically and
responsibly went through everything, which is why it went on
for pages and pages and lost in it is something
nobody's ever talked about. It's what we often talk about
with hurricanes. Why do we end up with people dying
(23:54):
in hurricanes because of dramatic predictions and forecasts and crying
wool for years and then nothing happens. And that's what
makes them think I'm gonna write it out and then
you get a Katrina. So yeah, this is flash flood Alley.
That ought to be your first clue. But when you
(24:18):
live in flash flood Alley and since nineteen thirty seven,
these forecasters are all telling you, Boop's gonna hit the fan,
Boop's gon to hit the fan. The poop doesn't hit
the fan. Then the poop does hit the fan, even
worse than you thought it was, and in the middle
of the night, at a hundred year historic level. But
(24:38):
don't forget all those other watches and warnings, and then
everybody wants to make it about the watches in the warnings,
did they have cell service, where they asleep, where their
phone set to trigger or silence? And how many years
of camp directors hearing these warnings and nothing since nineteen
(24:58):
thirty seven. That's all a part of it. So you
can't get away with this. Oh, when we get elected,
you're gonna find out about Epstein. When we get elected,
You're going to find out about JFK. When we get elected,
the Kraken is going to be And then nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.
(25:20):
That all adds up to a tremendous lack of trust.
All right, if you are just waking up these all right,
our top five stories of the day. I don't know
why the President Trump's engaging in this. I would just
let the Democrats fight their own zoron mom donnie dilemma.
(25:41):
But the President got involved again, calling Mam Donnie a
communist and implying that if he's elected mayor of New
York City it could trigger a federal takeover.
Speaker 13 (25:50):
Who's not very capable in my opinion, other than he's
got a good.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Line of book.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
President Trump trashing state Assemblyman Zora and Mom Donnie Well
at the same time claiming he's not getting involved in
the race for the Big Apples mayor this November. But
at a Tuesday news conference, Trump worn voters not to
cast their ballots for the thirty three year old Democratic
socialist who's leading in the polls.
Speaker 13 (26:11):
He if the communist gets elected to run New York,
it can never be the same.
Speaker 7 (26:16):
Trump also claimed the White House has tremendous power to
run places. Governor Cathy Hochal's response, the voters decide who'll
run New York City, not a president who wants to
be king. I'm Sarah le Kessler.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Supreme Court gave the president another big victory. He can
resume his plans to carry out mass job cuts across
federal agency.
Speaker 14 (26:35):
Justices 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 1 (26:57):
I'm Brian Schuck. Oh don't get exact, and you still
have to take your belts off, and there's still no peanuts,
but you can leave your shoes out at the airport.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
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.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
In a statement, Homeland.

(27:58):
My gosh, I think it was nineteen seventy seven. The
doorbell rang in Harlington Heights, Illinois, and me and my
brother Vic answered the door and there was a girl scout.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
And she was like, I've sent cookies, and so then
we went, oh, okay cookies, see a saday and she
got I got mint cookies, I got Shika cookies. And
I don't know what it was, but for thirty years
after that we would always go Schuga cookies. To this day,
I could call my brother and go sugar cookies, and.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Maybe I should. Today is National Sugar Cookie Day.
Speaker 15 (28:34):
Sugar cookies are typically a winter holiday staple, but slap
on some frosting and cheerful sprinkles and you have yourself
a some retreat. You can bake them on your own
or buy them, no judgment. Crummy Cookie says the average
American eats about two hundred cookies every year. That's nearly
four a week. A lofty but achievable goal. I'm Bree Tennis.
Speaker 9 (28:55):
It's your morning show with Michael del Journo.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Now include it's Buffalo, New York and Tucson, Arizona. So
thrilled to be out of these two cities. Buffalo's got
a brand new great radio station, twelve seventy AM. The
Patriot WUSW Buffalo's Conservative Talk and we are thrilled to
start the morning off in Buffalo, New York. And we
also want to welcome the great seven ninety k nst
(29:21):
in Tucson, Arizona. Well you know what they call me,
mister Ohio, mister Arizona.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
Now we're building on mister New York, mister Arizona.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Well some call me that, not many. All right, time
for your Sound to the day. Our this is CNN,
this is the news, and that's why more people are
watching the cartoon networks stunge while Marie runs right now,
I'm a big ad Democratic. This is like a goldstong,
always revealing you should have a government that just minds
its own damn entertaining. Time for your Sounds of the day. Well,
(29:54):
it didn't take long. We talked about this with our
White House correspondent John Decker yesterday. Obviously the president has
very transparent cabinet meetings and invites the press in, and
there's going to be questions, and there's going to be
a lot concerning the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
Speaker 16 (30:07):
And there was your memo and released yesterday and Jeffrey
Epstein less the leader in mysteries. One of the biggest
ones is whether he ever worked for an American foreign
intelligence agency. The former Labor Secretary, who is Miami US
attorney Alex Kostiki, allegedly said that he did work for
(30:29):
an intelligence agency.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
So could you resolve whether.
Speaker 16 (30:31):
Or not he did, and also could you say why
there was a minute missing from the jailhouse tape on
the night of the steps.
Speaker 13 (30:39):
Are you still talking about Jeffrey and Epstein? This guy's
been talked about for years. You're asking we have Texas,
we have this, we have all of the things, and
are people still talking about this guy that's great, that
is unbelievable? Do you want to waste the time? I
think do you feel like answered?
Speaker 17 (30:59):
I'm answering.
Speaker 13 (31:00):
I mean, I can't believe you're asking a question on
at Epstein at a time like this where we're having
some of the greatest success and also tragedy with what
happened in Texas.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
It just seems like a desecration. You know, I wasn't.
It's going to sound like I'm gangang up today, and
I don't mean to. I wasn't. I wasn't drooling over
this story like others. But the release of this now
after the tragedy in Texas and then this reaction like
(31:33):
it's outrageous that you promised to get to the bottom
of Epstein, and you made grandiose promises of what was
going to be revealed, and now nothing and somebody finally
asks a logical question, and this is how they get treated.
If this wasn't Donald Trump, you all would be very critical,
(31:55):
but you go ahead. Sure, sure.
Speaker 17 (31:57):
First to back up on that, in February, I did
an interview on Fox and it's been getting a lot
of attention because I said, I was asked a question
about the client list, and my response was it's sitting
on my desk to be reviewed, meaning the file along
with the JFK MLK files as well. That's what I
(32:21):
meant by that. Also, to the tens of thousands of
video they turned out to be child porn downloaded by
that disgusting Jeffrey Epstein, childborn is what they were never
going to be released, never going to see the lighted
day to him being an agent. I have no knowledge
about that. We can get back to you on that.
And the minute missing from the video we released the
(32:44):
video showing definitively the video was not conclusive, but the
evidence prior to it was showing he committed suicide. And
what was on that there was a minute that was
off the counter, And what we learned from Bureau of
Prisons was every year, every night they redo that video
(33:06):
as old from like nineteen ninety nine. So every night
the video is reset and every night should help the
same minute missing. So we're looking for that video to
release that.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Now convenient from the coordinate his suicide. And during that
one minute, I leave it up to you, As I
always say, I don't tell you what to think. I
just give you a lot to think about. Why even
(33:37):
focus on that? After all, we can leave our shoes out.
Speaker 18 (33:39):
We have some very exciting news to announce that today
we have started a new no shoes policy with the Department.
The Transportation Security Administration TSA will no longer require travelers
to remove their shoes when they go through our security checkpoints.
This is something that I know for quite some time
(33:59):
people have talked about in discuss.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Now we're really more concerned about the long delays, the harassment,
the bullying, the belt and why can't we get a
freaking peanut? But nice time. We're all in this Together.
This is your morning show with Michael Ndheld, Joano
