Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show airs live five to
eight am Central, six to nine Eastern and great cities
like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine, but we're happier
here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
This is your Morning Show with Michael O'Dell Jordan.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Thank you, Mike McCann. It is seven minutes after the
hour on this Thursday, August, the seventh year of Our Lord,
twenty twenty five. President Trump's sweeping tariffs are now in effect.
He's hopeful, optimistic, but not confirming an upcoming meeting with
Vladimir Boutin as peace talks continue in the Russian Ukrainian War,
and another official in the Biden administration is scheduled to
(00:52):
testify with the GOP probe into the ex president's mental
fitness in office. This one of former chiefest staff who
agreed to speak in a closed door meeting, but not
in an open door meeting. This is open doors, so
many are suspecting the Fifth Amendment. Later today and when
you're looking at housing in America, Milwaukee ends up being
(01:12):
the best place to be selling your house right now,
Las Vegas the best place to be buying one. How
does your city compare? Are you on the buy list
or the cell list? When it comes to a Forda
Billy roy O'Neil are your morning show national correspondent is
here to run the numbers with us.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Good morning, Rory, Hey there, Michael, good morning. You know
it's interesting the numbers out from redfind yesterday. Looked at
a couple different things where we're seeing all that buying
and selling activity. As you said, Milwaukee tops the charts. Chicago, Philadelphia, Minneapolis,
and even New York. New York are some of the
better markets. Some of the worst ones. As you said,
(01:47):
Las Vegas is at the bottom of the barrel. Sacramento, California,
at Denver, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, and San Diego also toward
the bottom. Multiple factors depending on what part of the country.
Some it's the high cost of insurance. Others, even Washington,
d C. Was sort of on the down side. It's
because they've had a lot of turnover and some people
are looking for work these days, so a lot of
(02:09):
homes have hit the market there as well. And I
thought the other interesting number they provided was the cost
of buying a home these days, in terms of what
you should earn on average, a home buyer needs to
make one hundred and twelve one hundred and thirty one
dollars to afford a typical American home.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
That's on average. So obviously home prices went up, then
inflation hit, interest rates went up. Home prices plus higher
interest rates mean higher payments. You also brought up the
other factor in some of these flood areas, hurricane areas,
higher insurance rates that all goes into the payment, which
(02:49):
drives that number up. In fact, I would probably make
a guess, especially in the places we're talking about here,
one hundred and twelve thousand dollars could get you to
buy something, but I'm guessing it's a very small conto,
not necessarily what we envision in a home. There are
some people on this list that have always struggled, like Vegas.
This is this is about the two and a half,
maybe third decade they've been struggling in the field of housing.
(03:14):
So areas struggling before.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Yeah, but one of the big issues in places like
Las Vegas and other cities across the South is they've
also had the building boom and a lot more inventory.
New inventory is coming on the markets there, especially in
multi family housing. Older cities, say in the Rust Belt
or the Northeast, not as aggressive with new home buildings.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
So and we still have that lack of the starter
home construction.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
They love building those eight bedroom, four car garage monstrosity McMansions,
but what the economy needs is a lot more fourteen
hundred square foot three bedroom small houses.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, you mentioned Sacramento. You know, there was a time
when we would do Nashville, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Tampa. You
know we were smaller now with one hundred stations, can't
feature every But how did some of our cities like
Phoenix and Memphis and Nashville, or Tampa, or Detroit and
Saint Louis, how did they fare up?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Sure so, Nashville middle of the pack, coming in number
twenty two out of the fifty markets that were surveyed
by this Phoenix number thirty nine. They're listed as having
a bit of a cooling economy. In Tampa they came
in thirty five, also a bit of a cool down there.
With some of the prices actually starting to come down
a tenth of a point or so.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
It is a process, Roy O'Neil, and I'm gonna make
this make really good sense as we go into our
ras muse and polls of plenty today. But Roy's gonna
be back in the third hour. We're gonna talk a
little bit about what happened at Fort Stewart, Georgia in
that shooting yesterday. So is the American Dream still alive?
Is the question that Rasmussen asks, and voters overwhelmingly consider
(04:55):
home ownership crucial to the American dream. So this is tied.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Look, the president inherited a mess, and he vowed to
fix some things that he had fixed before again and better,
and some things he didn't get to because of COVID
this time. And he's done a great job. The one
thing he's been struggling with and they're not necessarily tied.
But he can't get interest rates down. And if interest
(05:24):
rates came down, mortgage interest rates would likely follow. Now. Remember,
I'm sitting in a home right now and blessed to
be sitting in it, and I give God all the
credit for it. It's sitting at two and two point
seven percent interest. I don't think we're ever going to
see that again, and that's part of what hurt inventory
(05:47):
because somebody like me is going to hang onto this house.
I'm going to make career decisions based on hanging out
of this house. Why Because I'm going to get something
half as nice, half as big for more money if
I leave. Why would I leave right out? Allowed Depending
on how much equity there is, you might want to
do a reverse mortgage before you leave. And that's what's
(06:08):
tied up inventory, and that's what's kept sales down. So
obviously you got to build a lot. And then obviously
interest rates have to come down, so boomers and others
let go of these homes that they have. But what
is that number? And I talk to realtors all the time,
I talk to money experts like our money was David
Bonson all the time. Nobody really knows for sure. But
(06:32):
my guess is you get somewhere between four and five,
this thing explodes again. Then you've solved the housing problem
with the development and building. Now you've got the American dream.
Because everything the president's done has to has been done
to secure the nation. That's pretty important because you don't
want to live anywhere you're not safe. And then the
(06:53):
building blocks of a strong economy, and not just a
strong economy, a strong economy that builds things, because that's
your biggest weapon against inflation. Now they haven't quite proven.
DOJE was a good start, but it's really Congress's job
to either get serious or not get serious about that.
(07:16):
But just as Rory did that story, we wanted to
dovetail it with this rasmusen is the American dream alive now?
The shallow way to look at this would be, well,
Trump's president now, and he's making America great again, so
it must be the American dreams alive. No, it is
still absolutely tied to home ownership, and that hasn't been
solved yet. So let's go through the numbers. Ninety percent
(07:42):
of likely US voters believe home ownership is important in
terms of achieving the American Dream, including sixty two percent
of that ninety percent who consider it very important. You
will not feel like you're living the American Dream, by
the numbers, unless you own a home. Voters are evenly
divided on whether it's possible for most young Americans today
(08:05):
to achieve the American dream because nobody thinks it's possible
for them to achieve home ownership, and Rory's giving you
average numbers of what takes even qualified. Because of the
high cost of homes and the high interest rate, you
have to have an income of over one hundred twenty
thousand dollars to even be in the picture to buy something,
(08:28):
and I'm not so certain you'd want to live there.
So the American Dream is gray right now, because home
ownership is gray, especially for the next generation who doesn't
already have one. Forty percent rate Trump is doing a
good or excellent job in terms of making the American
dream possible, and I'm guessing it's at forty five percent
(08:52):
because the realiest dude can see what he's doing to
build the jobs and the economy, but the housing has
yet to be solved. It's not going to happen in
the first two hundred days of his second term, that's
for sure. Among voters who believe it is still possible
for most Americans today to achieve the American dream, sixty
six percent rate Trump is doing a good or an
(09:13):
excellent job matrix majorities of every political I mean, obviously,
if you own a home, you have a little bit
of a rose colored view of home ownership. Shouldn't be
that way, especially if you have kids. I don't even
think about the home I have. I think about my
children's future, and that's why I'm a rabid dog on
(09:37):
a bone. Good luck getting it out of my mouth.
I'm never going to let go of the debt. And
at the end of the day, what the previous two
generations did to set up our children for failure with
debt or even their utopian views of love with other
people's money that got us in debt. The next generation
(10:01):
is certainly on a steep uphill climb. Majorities of every
political category sixty eight percent of Republicans, sixty one percent
of Democrats, fifty eight percent of non affiliated voters consider
home ownership to be very important in terms of achieving
the American Dream. There's a twelve point gender gap on
the question of whether most young people still have a
(10:22):
shot at the American dream. Forty eight percent of men
say yes, but only thirty six percent of women say yes.
Fifty three percent of self identified conservative voters. That's one
of the rare numbers above fifty percent. I think it's
still possible for young Americans today to achieve the American dream. Now,
(10:46):
obviously to some degree, it is what it is, and
you do what you can do, and we're finally starting
to do it. But there's a lot more to be
done for this to be achieved, and at some point
the next generation, the young generation. You know, somebody did
a post on Facebook yesterday, Well thanks to all the boomers,
(11:10):
because that's what young people like. Yeah, a Karen is
saying what a Karen says about a woman, boomer is
saying what it says about a person sixty and above.
But they want to blame everything on the boomers. Thanks
to the boomers. I got to make sixty dollars an
hour before would they they were able to afford at
ten dollars an hour. Well, okay, first of all, what's
that young person doing on Facebook?
Speaker 6 (11:31):
NERD?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I well that too, I was saying, And you're on
Facebook posting that when you could be out doing what
I don't know. I mean, what I tell my kids
is I try to help them where they're at make
the smartest choices, so we're not doing dumb things like
going to very expensive universities and racking up very high
debt to do a forty thousand dollars year job. But
(11:58):
you know that's your choice. As a young person. You
were going to have to be very wise about much
wiser about every decision you make, and you're either going
to have to earn more or work more and hope
that there are more Donald Trump's after Donald Trump to
continue this process of fixing what was broken. But the
(12:22):
bottom line to this research, no one is going to
feel like the American dream has been achieved or is
even possible without home ownership being at the centerpiece of it.
I only have time to do this last one. Rasmusen
did a poll on EV's and you know, nothing has
been focused on more than that. And I always felt
(12:45):
like EV's were like the beta. They weren't BHS. This
isn't you know. But we went all in on it,
and we tied it to global warming, which I believe
is a hoax. And it's bombed miserably and a lot
of it was from rushing it before the infrastructure was
in place. The infrastructure is very much there now, but
the desire to own EV's has not budged, and with
(13:09):
federal tax credits set to expire soon, fewer than a
third of Americans or even in the market or would
even consider buying an EV. Seventy percent of the market
is not interested or has no plans to buy an
(13:29):
EV as their next automobile purchase. And yet you still
see manufacturers going all EV and you wonder what are
they thinking? And then what percentage of the EV market
does Tesla already own. Last month's passage of the One
(13:50):
Big Beautiful Bill means that the seventy five hundred dollars
tax credit for buying or leasing a new electric vehicle.
In other words, a government investing and forcing you to
make a choice that you ought to be just allowed
to make on your own. And builders and designers should
be building and desiring according to the patterns of what
the consumers want. But this is a big miss aim
(14:14):
as much as EV's have been. And I have one
now and I love it. I did get it for
global warming purposes. I like the way it drives better.
I've never owned one. I lease it because I don't
like the formula of added expense of adding a new battery.
But the bottom line is, for all the push, still
(14:35):
no market and the companies haven't adjusted yet. They just
refuse to see this reality and think they can force it,
but it hasn't worked. That people always get the final say,
and that's your polls are plenty. This is your morning
show with Michael Del Trono. We simply do not exist
(14:56):
without your voice. Like Roger listening to kste and Sacker, Meto, Morrian,
Michael and Crewe. I am living in the American dream.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I'm sixty five, but my path was very unique and
the fact that I dropped out of high school at
fifteen so very fortunate. And what I'd say it is
becoming more difficult. I've got to thirty somethings that are
both college educated, making decent money, neither owns a home.
So I would say the dream is there, but probably
on life support.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah. Well, and what we do makes a difference, and
what we do quickly makes a difference. And home ownership
is the biggest part of that puzzle, and that's the
one part of the puzzle that has yet to be solved.
We got to get interest rates down. We've got to
get mortgage interest rates down, and some of these building
blocks to take effect in order to do that. Can
(15:45):
we get in Ken real quick in Nashville?
Speaker 7 (15:47):
Michael, it didn't acquire university education before. But today air
traffic controllers can make two hundred thousand dollars a year
with a two year associates degree and be under thirty
years old before you're hired as a plomping amount of
money for somebody with little education.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yeah, and a lot of home buying power too. So
just look, it is what it is. Understanding and seeing
it for what it is and planning a quarterly accordingly
is what's going to make differs between you being able
to do it with your kids versus others who are not.
But it's certainly an uphill battle, that's for sure.
Speaker 8 (16:24):
Hey, everybody's john Ford Coley of England, Dan and john
Ford Coley And my morning show is your Morning Show
with Michael del Journo.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Hi, it's Michael. Your Morning show could be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast. My wife and son thought it would
be fun to go to downtown Nashville in the middle
of the night and be an extra on a filming
(17:00):
of the nine one show real and what suckered them
in was the promise of a major country music star
being involved in the scene. Garth so Andrews dressed all country, which,
if you know my wife, that's laughable, right, she's in
boots and a hat. Well, now my wife is still
(17:21):
stunned as obviously very stunning. So she's in the front row.
She's probably going to be in the show. But they're
all disgruntled because the big superstar that's a part of
the show is Caane Brown. Oh, I mean, just wouldn't
all the kids like Kane Brown. I think I know
what song he'll be playing in the show when the
(17:41):
fire starts, I guess looks Kane Brown off road. O me.
Do you think they're going to be collapsing the stage
for an emergency or you think a fire, pyrotechnic fire?
I mean, some something calls for a nine to one
one scene. But they're all disgruntled. They were hoping for
like you know, Morgan Wallen or Keith Urban, somebody big.
(18:03):
They get that household name Kane Brown. But they got
their extras, that's for sure. John Decker is joining us.
It's thirty seven minutes after the hour in the Eastern
time zone. You got about twenty three minutes to be
to work by eight o'clock. As of midnight, the global
tariffs have gone into effect. Now that means those who
have deals and revenue. It also means those without a
(18:25):
deal and heavy payments. John sorted out for US, Well,
that's right.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
It's a ten percent baseline tariff for every wad of
America's trading partners across the board. But certain countries are
paying more than that. Japan fifteen percent trade tariff, South
Korea fifteen percent, the European Union negotiated a fifteen percent
trade tariff, Canada thirty five percent. And interestingly enough, the
(18:50):
President doubled the teriff rate yesterday for goods coming into
the United States from India from twenty five percent.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
To fifty percent.
Speaker 9 (18:58):
And the reason for that is because India continues to
purchase a significant amount of oil from Russia, which the
President says funds their war effort against Ukraine. And this
is punishment against India for doing.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Just that, which plays into another story that we need
to talk about, which is, and I know the President's hesitation.
I think he would like to say he's optimistic. He
says he's hopeful. He's been let down before. Boutin says,
we were only let down because you have unreasonable expectations.
But they're hoping to have a talk next week and
this India defiance isn't helping those talks, and the talks
(19:36):
and peace would resolve that. So everybody kind of needs
to cooperate because we're doing more than one thing at
a time. Canada and India, they're really I mean, I
said this earlier in the show on the five o'clock
at the first hour, that you know Canada, of those
deal or no deal who haven't made a deal yet,
they're the biggest one sitting, you know, behind the eight ball. Now,
(19:57):
are there other countries that we haven't had and secured
deals with that this could be a very expensive day
for them?
Speaker 9 (20:05):
Well yeah, I mean, let's take a look at our
neighbor to the south, Mexico. Mexico still doesn't have a
deal to President giving a ninety day extension to reach
a deal with Mexico, still no firm deal. As it
relates to China, those discussions continue. You recall that there
were meetings that took place just last week between US
(20:25):
officials and Chinese officials in Stockholm. But again no deal
in those two countries, in particular, they represent a significant
amount of trade with the United States.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
But in Mexico's case, they've got the ninety day delay.
China there's still a framework in a worry But Canada,
they're just sitting there bake it with no deal. I mean,
they better come to the table or it's going to
get expensive for them. All right, how much how olful
are you the Putin's going to sit down?
Speaker 9 (20:55):
I have zero percent hope that this will lead to
the end of fighting in Ukraine. And I'm a realist.
I'm not a pessimist. I'm a realist. Vladimir Putin has
shown no desire to end this war. There's been a
thirty day cease fire on the table for the past
five months. President Trump put that proposal on the table.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
It was agreed to immediately by Ukraine. It has not
been agreed to by Russia.
Speaker 9 (21:20):
I think this is Vladimir Putin playing for even more time.
And the President, you know, he's someone who meets with
our adversaries.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
He did it with Kim Jong un.
Speaker 9 (21:30):
In his first term, and he's meeting potentially with Vladimir
Putin as early as next week. I'm very curious as
to where that meeting will take place. Very limited in
terms of the places where it can take place because
of that arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court for
Vladimir Putin, and it rules out a lot of places
that typically would be a place where they could potentially meet.
(21:51):
So for instance, Geneva, Switzerland, that's out, Reykiavik, Iceland that's out.
So it leaves certain places like the United States, not
a part of the ICC, like Russia, like a Dohak
hutter Ryodds, Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Perhaps even the Vatican.
Speaker 9 (22:09):
Those are some possibilities in terms of where a meeting
between President Trump and Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I'm trying to think of all the iconic images of
this president, you know, from a McDonald's drive through window
to a garbage truck passenger seat, to his fist in
the air with blood coming down his ear after an
assassination attempt. I do remember him sitting with Zelenski on
two little folding chairs having a talk. If these two
(22:37):
meet at the Vatican, there's going to be another image
for the record books. The president. You know, I've been there.
Speaker 9 (22:43):
I've been there for many of those images, and you know,
I'm very privileged to I've said that. You know, I
think about the first term when the President met with
Kim Jong un. You know that iconic image of the
President shaking hands at that point at the Joint Security
Area and the DMZ where the President shook hands with
Kim jungun. So, yes, it could be another one. The
President likes those images. But you think back to Kim jungun.
(23:06):
The three separate times the President met with Kim Jung un.
Nothing came out of those discussions, literally nothing, you know,
it didn't lead to even a pause in the nuclear
program that North Korea has. Hopefully something comes out of
this meeting that the president has with President Putin and
potentially also President Dolensky. I don't think that Zelensky is
(23:27):
going to be in the same room as Putin, however,
simply because Putin does not see Zelensky as an equal
and will not meet with Zelenski for that reason.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
It's worthy of note. Though the President says he's not
interested in meeting unless a ceasefire and peace talks are
in play. I don't. I mean, you talked about you're
not very hopeful, but much'll come of it. I'm still
not very hopeful. The meeting itself is going to take
place if the President sticks to that criteria. So we'll
see how it plays out, but we'll see. Yeah, John Decker,
(23:56):
White House Correspondent. As always, we appreciate your coverage. I
don't know what you know. We had this discussion earlier.
I don't know what's on the mind of Vladimir Putin.
Joe Biden is not president, Kamala Harris is not president.
He has not been able to even achieve his objectives
in Ukraine. Thanks to Donald Trump, NATO is more united
(24:19):
than ever, with more funding than ever, and you're paying
a bigger share of it and more committed than ever.
So I don't know if his I believe this is
just my belief that Vladimir Putin is trying to reassemble
the map of the Russian Empire. He's nowhere near any
ability in his lifetime to achieve that. So he's been
(24:44):
given many chances to take an exit ramp and save
face and go home and say whatever the heck he wants.
But I mean in terms of false reality and reality.
I don't know what he thinks he can accomplish. And
I know we've talked a lot with the tenant, Colonel
James Carafano, that the enemy always has to say, so
he has that right. But he's losing a lot of soldiers.
(25:09):
Probably doesn't care as much about the North Korean ones,
but he does should be caring about his own and
he's losing a lot of support at home, and there's
nobody that you know, like Lieutenant Cernok says, I think
he's taken the option of fighting one more year. What's
it gonna achieve in one year? Even so, I don't
know what's on his mind. I don't know what his
reluctance is to come to the table. It's like playing
(25:32):
poker and we know you don't have the hand and
if you want to escalate this, I mean, he can't
go into a neighboring nation and expand this. He can't
even close the deal in Ukraine. And I don't know
what big ask he's holding out for because it's not
coming and nobody thinks he could take on another nation
(25:55):
when he's struggling and depleted from Ukraine that he thought
would be a kickwalk. So well, you just hope and
you pray. You know, it's time to move on from this.
And I pray first that they meet, and then I
pray that somehow something can be achieved in that meeting
(26:15):
for our time and for all time. I really don't
know what else to add to that, Youngstown, Ohio. On
the talkback line, I heard.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
On Handy last night that there's a new virus going
around in China where they're quarantine and people. Now hopefully
they ain't trying to pull some crap again.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Oh, first of all, to your I hope they're not
trying to pull some crap again.
Speaker 9 (26:42):
It was.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
A year and a half, two years in to the
Trump first administration. And who was the big loser China?
Who was the big target China? Who was China's big response? Oh?
Just the coincidence of a gain of function virus that
got outside the lab that they meticulously ensured their people protected,
(27:07):
but were reckless in it spread across the countries and
the world. Oh, and I guess at the end of
the day, after being manipulated by Fauci, who should be
in jail, and the media playing along as it always does,
(27:27):
just like with Russia, Russia, Russia, the Trump presidency was
destroyed and an old guy hitting in an abasement beat
him in the next election. It sure looks like a
China ploy, which is why Trump calls it the China virus.
They wouldn't do it again, right, Well, let me give
(27:47):
you some differences and give you a little bit of hope. Yeah,
I think they would do it again because you never
really identified them doing it the first time. That's why
I want to go back and get Russia, Russia, Russia right.
That's why I want to go back and expose the
shadow campaign to say the democracy and get it right,
a fake presidency and get it right. These are things
(28:10):
that have to be exposed so that their weapons and
the players would never call the play again and do it.
This one is different. So this is the Chi Kongaganya virus.
I think is how it's pronounced. It's spread only through
bites of mosquitoes, and it is not a fatal virus.
(28:33):
It has spread quickly across dozens of cities in the
province just north of Hong Kong, with almost three thousand
cases reported. It's usually a rarity in China, but infections
have spread after imported cases were detected. But they're doing
everything they can that what makes this one different A,
(28:56):
it's not new. It comes through mosquito bites only, and
they are waging war against mosquitoes throughout that province and spraying,
and there are no indications that, in addition to protecting
their people, they're being reckless supports spread and there's no
real In other words, this is all very different. Then.
(29:18):
Let's face it, a biological weapon from a gain of
function lab, probably released and spread on purpose, and probably
knowing the virus itself, the weapon that would target obesity, diabetes,
lung and heart comorbidities was the perfect one to have
(29:45):
accidentally slip out and affect America. So there's not a lot,
you know, to the answer to your question. Do I
think they would do it again? Sure, but I don't
think this one is it. It could be wrong. It's
way too early to say, but there are a lot
of different is between this and coronavirus. This is not
a gain of function created weapon, released on accident or
(30:07):
on purpose, spread on purpose that could be fatal depending
on the comorbidities, and exaggerated by a cooperative medium. Right now,
this is a mosquito virus, and they're treating mosquitos and
it doesn't appear to be deadly at this point. All right,
If you've never heard of karaaluma, kraaluma is an edible cactus.
(30:29):
It's from Indian and it's known for naturally suppressing appetite.
It's one of the key ingredients, one of many key ingredients,
and the breakthrough weight loss supplement called Lean.
Speaker 9 (30:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I take Lean, I've been taking Lean. I also do
two other brickhouse products. I do the greens and the fruits.
I do that mainly so I drink the water, but
also to get those things to supplement the diet. I
don't know what's making me feel great, whether it's the
Lean or the greens, or the fruits in my water
or just hydrating moral water, but it's all of the above.
(30:59):
And I have sl and steadily lost eleven pounds, no yoying, slow,
steady loss. It's been a great answer for me and
how I feel and losing weight. I think it could
be the same for you. Doctors behind Lean say it's
the closest they've come to replicating the benefits of the
popular injections, only we don't need needles. Lean helps you
maintain healthy blood sugar levels, control your appetite and cravings.

it to energy. Another big reason you'll feel great. No needles,

(32:06):
if you're just getting up and rolling, it's fifty four
minutes after the hour and the President's sweeping tariff slate
went into effect. That means a lot of revenue and
a lot of taxation. For some who didn't cut a deal.
Speaker 8 (32:16):
Important taxes are going to reach levels not seen in
the country in almost one hundred years, with over sixty
countries and the European Union facing rates of fifteen percent
or more. A wide variety of products will be hit,
ranging from appliances, cars, food, and furniture. In a post
on truth Social just after things went into effect, Trump
said billions of dollars are now flowing into the US.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
A Martneyfield official say the five soldiers shot at the
Fort Stewart based on Wednesday morning are all in stable condition,
thank god for that. They're expected to recover now. As
for the.
Speaker 10 (32:49):
Suspect, we have identified the alleged shooter as Sergeant Cornelius Radford,
an automated logistics sergeant assigned to second Brigade Combat Team.
Sergeant Radford has not previously deployed to combat.
Speaker 11 (33:01):
That's Brigadier General John Lubis, who says fellow soldiers subdued Ratford,
who is in custody. It's believed that Sergeant Radford used
his handgun in the shooting, not an army issued weapon.
Lubis also said the shooting took place at Ratford's workplace.
Speaker 10 (33:18):
It did involve his coworkers. We're still not certain about
the motivations.
Speaker 11 (33:21):
Lubis believes more information will be gained as Army investigators
continue their interviews with Ratford.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
I'm Liz Kennedy. President Trump was joined by Apple CEO
Tim Cook at the White House yesterday for the big announcement.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Today, Apple is announcing that it will invest six hundred
billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
This with the B. Part of the investment includes new
facilities in Texas, Arizona, Utah, and New York. But there
was a surprise extra billion with a B.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
That's one hundred billion dollars more than they were originally
going to invest.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
An extra one hundred billion. That's how big they're winning.
Speaker 6 (33:59):
Well.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
I can't believe Night Live hasn't caught out of this,
but certainly the folks at south Park avs they're going
to be featuring Christy Nome as their latest target. I'm
going down South. I'm going to have myself time, send
me everywhere.
Speaker 8 (34:13):
The satirical cartoon has been taking aim with the Trump
administration in its new season that debuted last month. Episode
one brought in the largest share for south Park in
twenty five years and received more social media posts than
any other in the show's history. Episode two aired Wednesday
and featured a cartoon Christy Nome leading ice raids and
shooting puppies in the street, including Crypto from the Superman movie,
(34:34):
but also featured mar Alago as a fantasy island, with
President Trumpe as mister O'Rourke and JD Vance as his
tiny assistant.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
I'm Mark Mayfield. There are so many national days every
single day, so it was only a matter of time
before we had National Sea Serpent Day? Are they even real?
Never mind? Greek tennis says more.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
That serpent was the Daedalus in the South Atlantic. There
are sea serpent sightings in every ocean in the world.
Canada has Ogopogo, Scotland the Lochness Monster, there's one in
Japan with eight tails, and don't forget the Kraken. But
there's no scientific evidence proving they actually exist because the
government will not fund searches, which means they don't exist,
(35:16):
or they do.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
I'm pre tennis three NFL preseason games for you to enjoy. Colts, Ravens, Bengals,
Eagles and Raiders, and Seahawks birthdays today. Speaking of the Eagles,
Jalen hurts Is twenty seven, actress Charlie's thon is fifty,
NHL Great Sydney Crosby thirty eight Today, and David Dukevney
actor X Files sixty five. If it's your birthday, Happy birthday.
(35:38):
We're so glad you were born and thanks for making
us a part of your big day. We're all in
this together. This is your Morning Show with Michael Nhild
Joano
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show airs live five to
eight am Central, six to nine Eastern and great cities
like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine, but we're happier
here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
This is your Morning Show with Michael O'Dell Jordan.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Thank you, Mike McCann. It is seven minutes after the
hour on this Thursday, August, the seventh year of Our Lord,
twenty twenty five. President Trump's sweeping tariffs are now in effect.
He's hopeful, optimistic, but not confirming an upcoming meeting with
Vladimir Boutin as peace talks continue in the Russian Ukrainian War,
and another official in the Biden administration is scheduled to
(00:52):
testify with the GOP probe into the ex president's mental
fitness in office. This one of former chiefest staff who
agreed to speak in a closed door meeting, but not
in an open door meeting. This is open doors, so
many are suspecting the Fifth Amendment. Later today and when
you're looking at housing in America, Milwaukee ends up being
(01:12):
the best place to be selling your house right now,
Las Vegas the best place to be buying one. How
does your city compare? Are you on the buy list
or the cell list? When it comes to a Forda
Billy roy O'Neil are your morning show national correspondent is
here to run the numbers with us.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Good morning, Rory, Hey there, Michael, good morning. You know
it's interesting the numbers out from redfind yesterday. Looked at
a couple different things where we're seeing all that buying
and selling activity. As you said, Milwaukee tops the charts. Chicago, Philadelphia, Minneapolis,
and even New York. New York are some of the
better markets. Some of the worst ones. As you said,
(01:47):
Las Vegas is at the bottom of the barrel. Sacramento, California,
at Denver, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, and San Diego also toward
the bottom. Multiple factors depending on what part of the country.
Some it's the high cost of insurance. Others, even Washington,
d C. Was sort of on the down side. It's
because they've had a lot of turnover and some people
are looking for work these days, so a lot of
(02:09):
homes have hit the market there as well. And I
thought the other interesting number they provided was the cost
of buying a home these days, in terms of what
you should earn on average, a home buyer needs to
make one hundred and twelve one hundred and thirty one
dollars to afford a typical American home.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
That's on average. So obviously home prices went up, then
inflation hit, interest rates went up. Home prices plus higher
interest rates mean higher payments. You also brought up the
other factor in some of these flood areas, hurricane areas,
higher insurance rates that all goes into the payment, which
(02:49):
drives that number up. In fact, I would probably make
a guess, especially in the places we're talking about here,
one hundred and twelve thousand dollars could get you to
buy something, but I'm guessing it's a very small conto,
not necessarily what we envision in a home. There are
some people on this list that have always struggled, like Vegas.
This is this is about the two and a half,
maybe third decade they've been struggling in the field of housing.
(03:14):
So areas struggling before.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Yeah, but one of the big issues in places like
Las Vegas and other cities across the South is they've
also had the building boom and a lot more inventory.
New inventory is coming on the markets there, especially in
multi family housing. Older cities, say in the Rust Belt
or the Northeast, not as aggressive with new home buildings.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
So and we still have that lack of the starter
home construction.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
They love building those eight bedroom, four car garage monstrosity McMansions,
but what the economy needs is a lot more fourteen
hundred square foot three bedroom small houses.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, you mentioned Sacramento. You know, there was a time
when we would do Nashville, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Tampa. You
know we were smaller now with one hundred stations, can't
feature every But how did some of our cities like
Phoenix and Memphis and Nashville, or Tampa, or Detroit and
Saint Louis, how did they fare up?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Sure so, Nashville middle of the pack, coming in number
twenty two out of the fifty markets that were surveyed
by this Phoenix number thirty nine. They're listed as having
a bit of a cooling economy. In Tampa they came
in thirty five, also a bit of a cool down there.
With some of the prices actually starting to come down
a tenth of a point or so.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
It is a process, Roy O'Neil, and I'm gonna make
this make really good sense as we go into our
ras muse and polls of plenty today. But Roy's gonna
be back in the third hour. We're gonna talk a
little bit about what happened at Fort Stewart, Georgia in
that shooting yesterday. So is the American Dream still alive?
Is the question that Rasmussen asks, and voters overwhelmingly consider
(04:55):
home ownership crucial to the American dream. So this is tied.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Look, the president inherited a mess, and he vowed to
fix some things that he had fixed before again and better,
and some things he didn't get to because of COVID
this time. And he's done a great job. The one
thing he's been struggling with and they're not necessarily tied.
But he can't get interest rates down. And if interest
(05:24):
rates came down, mortgage interest rates would likely follow. Now. Remember,
I'm sitting in a home right now and blessed to
be sitting in it, and I give God all the
credit for it. It's sitting at two and two point
seven percent interest. I don't think we're ever going to
see that again, and that's part of what hurt inventory
(05:47):
because somebody like me is going to hang onto this house.
I'm going to make career decisions based on hanging out
of this house. Why Because I'm going to get something
half as nice, half as big for more money if
I leave. Why would I leave right out? Allowed Depending
on how much equity there is, you might want to
do a reverse mortgage before you leave. And that's what's
(06:08):
tied up inventory, and that's what's kept sales down. So
obviously you got to build a lot. And then obviously
interest rates have to come down, so boomers and others
let go of these homes that they have. But what
is that number? And I talk to realtors all the time,
I talk to money experts like our money was David
Bonson all the time. Nobody really knows for sure. But
(06:32):
my guess is you get somewhere between four and five,
this thing explodes again. Then you've solved the housing problem
with the development and building. Now you've got the American dream.
Because everything the president's done has to has been done
to secure the nation. That's pretty important because you don't
want to live anywhere you're not safe. And then the
(06:53):
building blocks of a strong economy, and not just a
strong economy, a strong economy that builds things, because that's
your biggest weapon against inflation. Now they haven't quite proven.
DOJE was a good start, but it's really Congress's job
to either get serious or not get serious about that.
(07:16):
But just as Rory did that story, we wanted to
dovetail it with this rasmusen is the American dream alive now?
The shallow way to look at this would be, well,
Trump's president now, and he's making America great again, so
it must be the American dreams alive. No, it is
still absolutely tied to home ownership, and that hasn't been
solved yet. So let's go through the numbers. Ninety percent
(07:42):
of likely US voters believe home ownership is important in
terms of achieving the American Dream, including sixty two percent
of that ninety percent who consider it very important. You
will not feel like you're living the American Dream, by
the numbers, unless you own a home. Voters are evenly
divided on whether it's possible for most young Americans today
(08:05):
to achieve the American dream because nobody thinks it's possible
for them to achieve home ownership, and Rory's giving you
average numbers of what takes even qualified. Because of the
high cost of homes and the high interest rate, you
have to have an income of over one hundred twenty
thousand dollars to even be in the picture to buy something,
(08:28):
and I'm not so certain you'd want to live there.
So the American Dream is gray right now, because home
ownership is gray, especially for the next generation who doesn't
already have one. Forty percent rate Trump is doing a
good or excellent job in terms of making the American
dream possible, and I'm guessing it's at forty five percent
(08:52):
because the realiest dude can see what he's doing to
build the jobs and the economy, but the housing has
yet to be solved. It's not going to happen in
the first two hundred days of his second term, that's
for sure. Among voters who believe it is still possible
for most Americans today to achieve the American dream, sixty
six percent rate Trump is doing a good or an
(09:13):
excellent job matrix majorities of every political I mean, obviously,
if you own a home, you have a little bit
of a rose colored view of home ownership. Shouldn't be
that way, especially if you have kids. I don't even
think about the home I have. I think about my
children's future, and that's why I'm a rabid dog on
(09:37):
a bone. Good luck getting it out of my mouth.
I'm never going to let go of the debt. And
at the end of the day, what the previous two
generations did to set up our children for failure with
debt or even their utopian views of love with other
people's money that got us in debt. The next generation
(10:01):
is certainly on a steep uphill climb. Majorities of every
political category sixty eight percent of Republicans, sixty one percent
of Democrats, fifty eight percent of non affiliated voters consider
home ownership to be very important in terms of achieving
the American Dream. There's a twelve point gender gap on
the question of whether most young people still have a
(10:22):
shot at the American dream. Forty eight percent of men
say yes, but only thirty six percent of women say yes.
Fifty three percent of self identified conservative voters. That's one
of the rare numbers above fifty percent. I think it's
still possible for young Americans today to achieve the American dream. Now,
(10:46):
obviously to some degree, it is what it is, and
you do what you can do, and we're finally starting
to do it. But there's a lot more to be
done for this to be achieved, and at some point
the next generation, the young generation. You know, somebody did
a post on Facebook yesterday, Well thanks to all the boomers,
(11:10):
because that's what young people like. Yeah, a Karen is
saying what a Karen says about a woman, boomer is
saying what it says about a person sixty and above.
But they want to blame everything on the boomers. Thanks
to the boomers. I got to make sixty dollars an
hour before would they they were able to afford at
ten dollars an hour. Well, okay, first of all, what's
that young person doing on Facebook?
Speaker 6 (11:31):
NERD?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I well that too, I was saying, And you're on
Facebook posting that when you could be out doing what
I don't know. I mean, what I tell my kids
is I try to help them where they're at make
the smartest choices, so we're not doing dumb things like
going to very expensive universities and racking up very high
debt to do a forty thousand dollars year job. But
(11:58):
you know that's your choice. As a young person. You
were going to have to be very wise about much
wiser about every decision you make, and you're either going
to have to earn more or work more and hope
that there are more Donald Trump's after Donald Trump to
continue this process of fixing what was broken. But the
(12:22):
bottom line to this research, no one is going to
feel like the American dream has been achieved or is
even possible without home ownership being at the centerpiece of it.
I only have time to do this last one. Rasmusen
did a poll on EV's and you know, nothing has
been focused on more than that. And I always felt
(12:45):
like EV's were like the beta. They weren't BHS. This
isn't you know. But we went all in on it,
and we tied it to global warming, which I believe
is a hoax. And it's bombed miserably and a lot
of it was from rushing it before the infrastructure was
in place. The infrastructure is very much there now, but
the desire to own EV's has not budged, and with
(13:09):
federal tax credits set to expire soon, fewer than a
third of Americans or even in the market or would
even consider buying an EV. Seventy percent of the market
is not interested or has no plans to buy an
(13:29):
EV as their next automobile purchase. And yet you still
see manufacturers going all EV and you wonder what are
they thinking? And then what percentage of the EV market
does Tesla already own. Last month's passage of the One
(13:50):
Big Beautiful Bill means that the seventy five hundred dollars
tax credit for buying or leasing a new electric vehicle.
In other words, a government investing and forcing you to
make a choice that you ought to be just allowed
to make on your own. And builders and designers should
be building and desiring according to the patterns of what
the consumers want. But this is a big miss aim
(14:14):
as much as EV's have been. And I have one
now and I love it. I did get it for
global warming purposes. I like the way it drives better.
I've never owned one. I lease it because I don't
like the formula of added expense of adding a new battery.
But the bottom line is, for all the push, still
(14:35):
no market and the companies haven't adjusted yet. They just
refuse to see this reality and think they can force it,
but it hasn't worked. That people always get the final say,
and that's your polls are plenty. This is your morning
show with Michael Del Trono. We simply do not exist
(14:56):
without your voice. Like Roger listening to kste and Sacker, Meto, Morrian,
Michael and Crewe. I am living in the American dream.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I'm sixty five, but my path was very unique and
the fact that I dropped out of high school at
fifteen so very fortunate. And what I'd say it is
becoming more difficult. I've got to thirty somethings that are
both college educated, making decent money, neither owns a home.
So I would say the dream is there, but probably
on life support.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah. Well, and what we do makes a difference, and
what we do quickly makes a difference. And home ownership
is the biggest part of that puzzle, and that's the
one part of the puzzle that has yet to be solved.
We got to get interest rates down. We've got to
get mortgage interest rates down, and some of these building
blocks to take effect in order to do that. Can
(15:45):
we get in Ken real quick in Nashville?
Speaker 7 (15:47):
Michael, it didn't acquire university education before. But today air
traffic controllers can make two hundred thousand dollars a year
with a two year associates degree and be under thirty
years old before you're hired as a plomping amount of
money for somebody with little education.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yeah, and a lot of home buying power too. So
just look, it is what it is. Understanding and seeing
it for what it is and planning a quarterly accordingly
is what's going to make differs between you being able
to do it with your kids versus others who are not.
But it's certainly an uphill battle, that's for sure.
Speaker 8 (16:24):
Hey, everybody's john Ford Coley of England, Dan and john
Ford Coley And my morning show is your Morning Show
with Michael del Journo.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Hi, it's Michael. Your Morning show could be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast. My wife and son thought it would
be fun to go to downtown Nashville in the middle
of the night and be an extra on a filming
(17:00):
of the nine one show real and what suckered them
in was the promise of a major country music star
being involved in the scene. Garth so Andrews dressed all country, which,
if you know my wife, that's laughable, right, she's in
boots and a hat. Well, now my wife is still
(17:21):
stunned as obviously very stunning. So she's in the front row.
She's probably going to be in the show. But they're
all disgruntled because the big superstar that's a part of
the show is Caane Brown. Oh, I mean, just wouldn't
all the kids like Kane Brown. I think I know
what song he'll be playing in the show when the
(17:41):
fire starts, I guess looks Kane Brown off road. O me.
Do you think they're going to be collapsing the stage
for an emergency or you think a fire, pyrotechnic fire?
I mean, some something calls for a nine to one
one scene. But they're all disgruntled. They were hoping for
like you know, Morgan Wallen or Keith Urban, somebody big.
(18:03):
They get that household name Kane Brown. But they got
their extras, that's for sure. John Decker is joining us.
It's thirty seven minutes after the hour in the Eastern
time zone. You got about twenty three minutes to be
to work by eight o'clock. As of midnight, the global
tariffs have gone into effect. Now that means those who
have deals and revenue. It also means those without a
(18:25):
deal and heavy payments. John sorted out for US, Well,
that's right.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
It's a ten percent baseline tariff for every wad of
America's trading partners across the board. But certain countries are
paying more than that. Japan fifteen percent trade tariff, South
Korea fifteen percent, the European Union negotiated a fifteen percent
trade tariff, Canada thirty five percent. And interestingly enough, the
(18:50):
President doubled the teriff rate yesterday for goods coming into
the United States from India from twenty five percent.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
To fifty percent.
Speaker 9 (18:58):
And the reason for that is because India continues to
purchase a significant amount of oil from Russia, which the
President says funds their war effort against Ukraine. And this
is punishment against India for doing.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Just that, which plays into another story that we need
to talk about, which is, and I know the President's hesitation.
I think he would like to say he's optimistic. He
says he's hopeful. He's been let down before. Boutin says,
we were only let down because you have unreasonable expectations.
But they're hoping to have a talk next week and
this India defiance isn't helping those talks, and the talks
(19:36):
and peace would resolve that. So everybody kind of needs
to cooperate because we're doing more than one thing at
a time. Canada and India, they're really I mean, I
said this earlier in the show on the five o'clock
at the first hour, that you know Canada, of those
deal or no deal who haven't made a deal yet,
they're the biggest one sitting, you know, behind the eight ball. Now,
(19:57):
are there other countries that we haven't had and secured
deals with that this could be a very expensive day
for them?
Speaker 9 (20:05):
Well yeah, I mean, let's take a look at our
neighbor to the south, Mexico. Mexico still doesn't have a
deal to President giving a ninety day extension to reach
a deal with Mexico, still no firm deal. As it
relates to China, those discussions continue. You recall that there
were meetings that took place just last week between US
(20:25):
officials and Chinese officials in Stockholm. But again no deal
in those two countries, in particular, they represent a significant
amount of trade with the United States.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
But in Mexico's case, they've got the ninety day delay.
China there's still a framework in a worry But Canada,
they're just sitting there bake it with no deal. I mean,
they better come to the table or it's going to
get expensive for them. All right, how much how olful
are you the Putin's going to sit down?
Speaker 9 (20:55):
I have zero percent hope that this will lead to
the end of fighting in Ukraine. And I'm a realist.
I'm not a pessimist. I'm a realist. Vladimir Putin has
shown no desire to end this war. There's been a
thirty day cease fire on the table for the past
five months. President Trump put that proposal on the table.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
It was agreed to immediately by Ukraine. It has not
been agreed to by Russia.
Speaker 9 (21:20):
I think this is Vladimir Putin playing for even more time.
And the President, you know, he's someone who meets with
our adversaries.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
He did it with Kim Jong un.
Speaker 9 (21:30):
In his first term, and he's meeting potentially with Vladimir
Putin as early as next week. I'm very curious as
to where that meeting will take place. Very limited in
terms of the places where it can take place because
of that arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court for
Vladimir Putin, and it rules out a lot of places
that typically would be a place where they could potentially meet.
(21:51):
So for instance, Geneva, Switzerland, that's out, Reykiavik, Iceland that's out.
So it leaves certain places like the United States, not
a part of the ICC, like Russia, like a Dohak
hutter Ryodds, Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Perhaps even the Vatican.
Speaker 9 (22:09):
Those are some possibilities in terms of where a meeting
between President Trump and Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I'm trying to think of all the iconic images of
this president, you know, from a McDonald's drive through window
to a garbage truck passenger seat, to his fist in
the air with blood coming down his ear after an
assassination attempt. I do remember him sitting with Zelenski on
two little folding chairs having a talk. If these two
(22:37):
meet at the Vatican, there's going to be another image
for the record books. The president. You know, I've been there.
Speaker 9 (22:43):
I've been there for many of those images, and you know,
I'm very privileged to I've said that. You know, I
think about the first term when the President met with
Kim Jong un. You know that iconic image of the
President shaking hands at that point at the Joint Security
Area and the DMZ where the President shook hands with
Kim jungun. So, yes, it could be another one. The
President likes those images. But you think back to Kim jungun.
(23:06):
The three separate times the President met with Kim Jung un.
Nothing came out of those discussions, literally nothing, you know,
it didn't lead to even a pause in the nuclear
program that North Korea has. Hopefully something comes out of
this meeting that the president has with President Putin and
potentially also President Dolensky. I don't think that Zelensky is
(23:27):
going to be in the same room as Putin, however,
simply because Putin does not see Zelensky as an equal
and will not meet with Zelenski for that reason.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
It's worthy of note. Though the President says he's not
interested in meeting unless a ceasefire and peace talks are
in play. I don't. I mean, you talked about you're
not very hopeful, but much'll come of it. I'm still
not very hopeful. The meeting itself is going to take
place if the President sticks to that criteria. So we'll
see how it plays out, but we'll see. Yeah, John Decker,
(23:56):
White House Correspondent. As always, we appreciate your coverage. I
don't know what you know. We had this discussion earlier.
I don't know what's on the mind of Vladimir Putin.
Joe Biden is not president, Kamala Harris is not president.
He has not been able to even achieve his objectives
in Ukraine. Thanks to Donald Trump, NATO is more united
(24:19):
than ever, with more funding than ever, and you're paying
a bigger share of it and more committed than ever.
So I don't know if his I believe this is
just my belief that Vladimir Putin is trying to reassemble
the map of the Russian Empire. He's nowhere near any
ability in his lifetime to achieve that. So he's been
(24:44):
given many chances to take an exit ramp and save
face and go home and say whatever the heck he wants.
But I mean in terms of false reality and reality.
I don't know what he thinks he can accomplish. And
I know we've talked a lot with the tenant, Colonel
James Carafano, that the enemy always has to say, so
he has that right. But he's losing a lot of soldiers.
(25:09):
Probably doesn't care as much about the North Korean ones,
but he does should be caring about his own and
he's losing a lot of support at home, and there's
nobody that you know, like Lieutenant Cernok says, I think
he's taken the option of fighting one more year. What's
it gonna achieve in one year? Even so, I don't
know what's on his mind. I don't know what his
reluctance is to come to the table. It's like playing
(25:32):
poker and we know you don't have the hand and
if you want to escalate this, I mean, he can't
go into a neighboring nation and expand this. He can't
even close the deal in Ukraine. And I don't know
what big ask he's holding out for because it's not
coming and nobody thinks he could take on another nation
(25:55):
when he's struggling and depleted from Ukraine that he thought
would be a kickwalk. So well, you just hope and
you pray. You know, it's time to move on from this.
And I pray first that they meet, and then I
pray that somehow something can be achieved in that meeting
(26:15):
for our time and for all time. I really don't
know what else to add to that, Youngstown, Ohio. On
the talkback line, I heard.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
On Handy last night that there's a new virus going
around in China where they're quarantine and people. Now hopefully
they ain't trying to pull some crap again.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Oh, first of all, to your I hope they're not
trying to pull some crap again.
Speaker 9 (26:42):
It was.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
A year and a half, two years in to the
Trump first administration. And who was the big loser China?
Who was the big target China? Who was China's big response? Oh?
Just the coincidence of a gain of function virus that
got outside the lab that they meticulously ensured their people protected,
(27:07):
but were reckless in it spread across the countries and
the world. Oh, and I guess at the end of
the day, after being manipulated by Fauci, who should be
in jail, and the media playing along as it always does,
(27:27):
just like with Russia, Russia, Russia, the Trump presidency was
destroyed and an old guy hitting in an abasement beat
him in the next election. It sure looks like a
China ploy, which is why Trump calls it the China virus.
They wouldn't do it again, right, Well, let me give
(27:47):
you some differences and give you a little bit of hope. Yeah,
I think they would do it again because you never
really identified them doing it the first time. That's why
I want to go back and get Russia, Russia, Russia right.
That's why I want to go back and expose the
shadow campaign to say the democracy and get it right,
a fake presidency and get it right. These are things
(28:10):
that have to be exposed so that their weapons and
the players would never call the play again and do it.
This one is different. So this is the Chi Kongaganya virus.
I think is how it's pronounced. It's spread only through
bites of mosquitoes, and it is not a fatal virus.
(28:33):
It has spread quickly across dozens of cities in the
province just north of Hong Kong, with almost three thousand
cases reported. It's usually a rarity in China, but infections
have spread after imported cases were detected. But they're doing
everything they can that what makes this one different A,
(28:56):
it's not new. It comes through mosquito bites only, and
they are waging war against mosquitoes throughout that province and spraying,
and there are no indications that, in addition to protecting
their people, they're being reckless supports spread and there's no
real In other words, this is all very different. Then.
(29:18):
Let's face it, a biological weapon from a gain of
function lab, probably released and spread on purpose, and probably
knowing the virus itself, the weapon that would target obesity, diabetes,
lung and heart comorbidities was the perfect one to have
(29:45):
accidentally slip out and affect America. So there's not a lot,
you know, to the answer to your question. Do I
think they would do it again? Sure, but I don't
think this one is it. It could be wrong. It's
way too early to say, but there are a lot
of different is between this and coronavirus. This is not
a gain of function created weapon, released on accident or
(30:07):
on purpose, spread on purpose that could be fatal depending
on the comorbidities, and exaggerated by a cooperative medium. Right now,
this is a mosquito virus, and they're treating mosquitos and
it doesn't appear to be deadly at this point. All right,
If you've never heard of karaaluma, kraaluma is an edible cactus.
(30:29):
It's from Indian and it's known for naturally suppressing appetite.
It's one of the key ingredients, one of many key ingredients,
and the breakthrough weight loss supplement called Lean.
Speaker 9 (30:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I take Lean, I've been taking Lean. I also do
two other brickhouse products. I do the greens and the fruits.
I do that mainly so I drink the water, but
also to get those things to supplement the diet. I
don't know what's making me feel great, whether it's the
Lean or the greens, or the fruits in my water
or just hydrating moral water, but it's all of the above.
(30:59):
And I have sl and steadily lost eleven pounds, no yoying, slow,
steady loss. It's been a great answer for me and
how I feel and losing weight. I think it could
be the same for you. Doctors behind Lean say it's
the closest they've come to replicating the benefits of the
popular injections, only we don't need needles. Lean helps you

(32:06):
if you're just getting up and rolling, it's fifty four
minutes after the hour and the President's sweeping tariff slate
went into effect. That means a lot of revenue and
a lot of taxation. For some who didn't cut a deal.
Speaker 8 (32:16):
Important taxes are going to reach levels not seen in
the country in almost one hundred years, with over sixty
countries and the European Union facing rates of fifteen percent
or more. A wide variety of products will be hit,
ranging from appliances, cars, food, and furniture. In a post
on truth Social just after things went into effect, Trump
said billions of dollars are now flowing into the US.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
A Martneyfield official say the five soldiers shot at the
Fort Stewart based on Wednesday morning are all in stable condition,
thank god for that. They're expected to recover now. As
for the.
Speaker 10 (32:49):
Suspect, we have identified the alleged shooter as Sergeant Cornelius Radford,
an automated logistics sergeant assigned to second Brigade Combat Team.
Sergeant Radford has not previously deployed to combat.
Speaker 11 (33:01):
That's Brigadier General John Lubis, who says fellow soldiers subdued Ratford,
who is in custody. It's believed that Sergeant Radford used
his handgun in the shooting, not an army issued weapon.
Lubis also said the shooting took place at Ratford's workplace.
Speaker 10 (33:18):
It did involve his coworkers. We're still not certain about
the motivations.
Speaker 11 (33:21):
Lubis believes more information will be gained as Army investigators
continue their interviews with Ratford.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
I'm Liz Kennedy. President Trump was joined by Apple CEO
Tim Cook at the White House yesterday for the big announcement.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Today, Apple is announcing that it will invest six hundred
billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
This with the B. Part of the investment includes new
facilities in Texas, Arizona, Utah, and New York. But there
was a surprise extra billion with a B.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
That's one hundred billion dollars more than they were originally
going to invest.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
An extra one hundred billion. That's how big they're winning.
Speaker 6 (33:59):
Well.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
I can't believe Night Live hasn't caught out of this,
but certainly the folks at south Park avs they're going
to be featuring Christy Nome as their latest target. I'm
going down South. I'm going to have myself time, send
me everywhere.
Speaker 8 (34:13):
The satirical cartoon has been taking aim with the Trump
administration in its new season that debuted last month. Episode
one brought in the largest share for south Park in
twenty five years and received more social media posts than
any other in the show's history. Episode two aired Wednesday
and featured a cartoon Christy Nome leading ice raids and
shooting puppies in the street, including Crypto from the Superman movie,
(34:34):
but also featured mar Alago as a fantasy island, with
President Trumpe as mister O'Rourke and JD Vance as his
tiny assistant.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
I'm Mark Mayfield. There are so many national days every
single day, so it was only a matter of time
before we had National Sea Serpent Day? Are they even real?
Never mind? Greek tennis says more.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
That serpent was the Daedalus in the South Atlantic. There
are sea serpent sightings in every ocean in the world.
Canada has Ogopogo, Scotland the Lochness Monster, there's one in
Japan with eight tails, and don't forget the Kraken. But
there's no scientific evidence proving they actually exist because the
government will not fund searches, which means they don't exist,
(35:16):
or they do.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
I'm pre tennis three NFL preseason games for you to enjoy. Colts, Ravens, Bengals,
Eagles and Raiders, and Seahawks birthdays today. Speaking of the Eagles,
Jalen hurts Is twenty seven, actress Charlie's thon is fifty,
NHL Great Sydney Crosby thirty eight Today, and David Dukevney
actor X Files sixty five. If it's your birthday, Happy birthday.
