Episode Transcript

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 k FYI 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 to make.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
The dom and on two three starting your morning off right.
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michaeldell Charman.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Seven minutes after the hour, early bird gets the arm,
rise and shine. Do not be the lazy squirrel, You'll
miss the nut. We're all in this together. Welcome to Tuesday,
August the nineteenth, twenty twenty five.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
That list is getting longer and longer. Things I say
every day, Well, oh squirrel, have you seen these new
squirrels that had like horns growing out of them? Zombie squirrels.
I saw that. I thought it was this raven or squirrel.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Rabbits, some one with the horns. What's the zombie squirrel that's
like I have seen that got things growing out of it.
I'll find a picture for you. You definitely don't want to
be the zombie squirrel. No, you do not. Not only
do you miss the nut, you're ugly. Now it's eight
minutes after the hour. Ukrainian presidents Lynsky all leaving on
the same page, but says no date has been set
yet for that meeting with the Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
The end of mail in ballots is.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Something Donald Trump would like to see before the twenty
six midterm election. You know what my laundry list is.
That's a biggie on that one. We want to see
one or both parties gone, obviously, but that's not on
the list. Zero based prioritize balance budget, no continuing resolution,
and the budgets tied to the two year congressional term.

(01:46):
Flatter fair tax system, so everybody has skin in the game.
Term limits number four on the list. Only paper ballots,
in person voting, and the President's all over it getting
start it on that. MSNBC is gonna change its name
to ms now. You beat me, You beat everyone in

(02:09):
the obvious concluded, No peacock, no NBC, just ms now.
Oh now we can't connect the dots. I don't think
the name was their problem. I think the worldview and
the product is Hillary Clinton. I think there's no question
Denzel Washington is the winner of the day, Denzel Washington
for what happened in DC, Yes, Denzel Washington. But as

(02:33):
for loser of the day, it's a tough one between
Hillary and ms now MSNBC. So for Hillary, she comes
up with this supposedly big hypocrisy of MAGA.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
And tweets.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
That basically, on one hand, the Republican officials call themselves
war fighters.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
They're looking more like peacemakers to me. But okay, we
do have the most powerful military, and when we use it,
we use it with great precision, great impact, and great resolve.
But if there's any signature of Donald Trump, it's ending wars,

(03:27):
not starting them. So the first half of the hypocrisy
I don't even get. On one hand, Republican officials call
themselves war fighters. On the other, they become whiny cry
babies at the thought of setting foot in DC streets

(03:47):
in New York City subways that literally school children navigate
every day without incident.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
I don't even know where to begin to break.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Is there anybody that thinks that there's no crime in
DC in New York City, that no children have ever
had incident in either city? This is this mixed up backwards.
I guess narrative stranglehold they find themselves in where there

(04:23):
suddenly pro war, there's suddenly anti peace. And apparently this
is not necessarily very new for them. I remember the
lead up to the twenty twenty election. You know, the
good trouble on the streets. There's suddenly pro crime and

(04:44):
anti war on crime. Not a very gotcha moment for
Hillary Clinton. But that's not the point of me bringing
it up. The point of me bringing up is and
somewhere on line and the secret language of idiocy that

(05:07):
they speak. This resonated with those on the left in
the bubble. This made perfect language sense to them, and
I thought this may be one of the greatest examples
of the matrix I've ever seen.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
On one hand, Republican.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Officials call themselves war fighters. I've never seen any Republican
call themselves a war fighter.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
I think he's referring to like PETEXXAF, who refers to
the military as.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
War Oh well, warfighter, Okay, well, yeah, I guess you're right,
but still, I mean, it just doesn't make it just
doesn't make any sense. And it's not a big hypocrisy.
And for the the top of the ticket, Donald Trump,
he's trying to make peace, peace in the Middle East,
peace in Russian Ukraine, peace in Pakistan. I mean, I

(06:07):
don't know. It just seems so out of touch with me.
I guess it's tough to top the peacock this morning.
So I guess you're leaning towards MSNBC is the loser
of the day. Then we would suddenly go, oh, like
changing the logo on Arsenic.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
It's are now, Oh well, that don't make it safe.
I'll forget the bad taste.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Those your winners and your losers of the day. All right,
what's next in all of these meetings? Okay, so we're
gonna talk with Mike Gonzales. Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano is
still traveling, but Mike Gonzalez is a senior fellow a heritage.
I'm just fascinated at you know, how many chefs you
can have in the kitchen and each arriving with their
own personal concerns, paranoias or agendas, and how difficult that

(06:55):
makes the peace process. It's hard enough to get two
people at war with each other, exchanging bombs and lives
to sit in a room and find common ground. Now
you're gonna get all these leaders from Europe, and we
got our first glimpse of that yesterday. I've very own

(07:17):
John Decker, who's going to join us live later on.
Got some questions in with the President. Here's how it sounded,
Thank you, mister President.

Speaker 5 (07:23):
Last week you warned of what you called severe consequences
if a thirty day seas far or any type of
ceasefire we're not agreed to by Russia, will there be
severe consequences?

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Does that change? Because I don't mean.

Speaker 6 (07:36):
What you need to see as fire. You know, if
you look at these six deals that I settled this year,
they were all at war. I didn't do what he
sees fires. And I know that it might be good
to have, but I can also understand strategically, like, well,
you know, one country or the other wouldn't want it.
You have a ceasefire and they rebuild and rebuild and rebuild,
and you know, maybe they don't want that. But we

(07:58):
can work a deal where we're working on a piece
deal while they're fighting.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
They have to fight.

Speaker 6 (08:03):
I wish they could stop. I'd like them to stop,
but strategically that could be a disadvantage for one side
or the other. But all of these deals I made
without even the mention of the words ceasefire.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
So everybody made the goal cease fire. The goal for
the president has always been end of war slash, lasting peace,
no reoccurrence. And there's the President flat out saying I
don't think it's necessary. You can go from war to
end of war. You don't have to have a cease fire.

(08:38):
And a very interesting perspective. Sometimes people use that to rearm.
John got another question, This is it.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
On social media, mister president.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
A very touching letter from the first Lady and the
letter was hand delivered to President Putin, and it calls
for an end of the war, essentially because of the
children and the children's future. Why did the first Lady
feel that le was necessary? Was it because she believed
that mister Putin is the aggressor in the war? Is

(09:05):
a similar letter being to hand delivered to President Zelensky?

Speaker 6 (09:09):
So the first Lady felt very strongly. She's watched the
same thing that you watch and that I watch, But
when she's got a great love of children. She used
to see something like this happening.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
And that goes for other wars too.

Speaker 6 (09:23):
I mean she sees that the heartbreak, the parents, the
funerals that you see Ali was always funerals.

Speaker 7 (09:29):
We want to see.

Speaker 6 (09:30):
Something other than funerals. Now she felt it was a
beautiful letter. It was very well received by him.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Well received by Putin. No mention that a similar letter
went to Zelenski in nor would it be necessary to
go to Zelensky. Zelensky was the one invaded. So what
are the big takeaways? Well, one takeaway is and I
made this reference yesterday and it seemed to fall on
deaf ears. But when Trump left Alaska with Putin's agreement

(10:05):
of securing Ukraine, that was a huge game changer that
everybody didn't seem to quite grasp. Now, yesterday we get
into Article five type protections for Ukraine. And Article five
is the NATO Pact that if you attack a NATO nation,

(10:27):
it's like attacking them all, So you don't touch this one,
or you're touching all of them, and you'll face consequence
from all of them. And the notion that even though
Ukraine would never be admitted into NATO, they would receive
an Article five type protection and that Putin is fine
with that moving forward. That was Zelensky's biggest concern about

(10:50):
lasting peace and long term security. No negotiated end of
the war. That only leads to another invasion once Trump's gone.
So that was huge, and that's listed as the number
five takeaway.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
I might have put a number one.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Number four on the list is what you just heard
with our own John Decker, that the President doesn't see
a necessary step of ceasefire, that we can go from
the next step, which is a trilateral meeting with Trump, Putin,
and Zelensky, straight to end of war, straight to lasting peace.

(11:28):
That there doesn't have to be that step of a
cease fire. Pretty big takeaway. Another one the President made
pretty crystal clear is a post war election, and he
got Zelensky to agree to that. So Zelensky will face
an election as soon as the war is over. The

(11:51):
President's been laser focused not just on peace but lasting peace.
Here's a quote from the president. The war is going
to end. We all know that there's no way for
it to go forever. Plutin's ability to take over Ukraine
is clearly out of reach, his ability to reassemble the

(12:14):
Russian Empire map, which I think is far more significant
to him, the geography than even the Soviet Union. That's
out of reach. He's not winning, he can't win. It
can't go on forever. But the enemy has to say
and if he wants to fight another year, he certainly could.
So the president's kind of acknowledging this war is going

(12:35):
to end, and when it does, I want to design
something for lasting peace.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
When it ends.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
And I can't tell you but it will end, can't
tell you when and when it does. The goal and
the design is for lasting peace. That's his priority. The
next step, which is the main takeaway you all want
to know, And as I mentioned, I can't wait to
talk about this with my Gonzalez a little bit later on.

(13:06):
I mean, it's hard to get two people at war
to come to a table and find some common ground.
You start adding the interest of all these European nations
that were there yesterday.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
It just looked like way too many chefs in the kitchen.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
But I guess as long as Chef Trump is there,
we all know the rest are soo chefs. But obviously
the next step and that that was achieved is a
tri trilateral meeting with Zelensky, Putin and Trump. Question as
to when well as of yesterday afternoon, Zelensky said no

(13:38):
date was set. So the next very next thing you
will hear is the date of that trilateral meeting, and
that's the progress that was made. We're gonna more. John
Decker will be joining us later next hour to talk
about all the big picture stuff from yesterday's negotiation. Will
give you the latest on Aaron Hamas is accepted an

(13:58):
Arab ceasefire proposal for the Gaza, which I think is huge.
This is that when the Arabs are leading, it seems
to be more progress. I think they are the key
intermediate to peace and lasting peace in control of the Gaza,
and I think that's a brilliant strategy that Donald Trump

(14:19):
has put into place.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
We'll also visit Roy O'Neil.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
I'll let you know if you're on the list of
cars that may be stolen and stolen very soon. If
you're driving a muscle car, there's a good chance you're
high on the list of cars that are stolen. We'll
have that along with the sounds of the day and more.
One chance to live this August nineteenth, Tuesday, and we're
all in it together.

Speaker 8 (14:43):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chronow.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
All right, twenty eight minutes after the hour, Well, I
guess you could say not everybody left optimistic. French President
Nahan does not believe President Vladimir Putin is ready for peace.

Speaker 9 (14:58):
Speaking to NBC News Tripp to Washington, d C. For
a high stakes White House meeting, Macrohne said when he
looks at the situation and the facts, he doesn't see
Putin willing to get peace. He went on to say
he may be too pessimistic and that the optimism of
your president is to be taken seriously. So if he
considers he can get a deal done, this is great
news and we have to do whatever we can to
have a great deal. President Trump says he's putting things

(15:20):
in play for a meeting between Ukrainian President Zelenski and Putin.
After Zelenski and European leaders were at the White House Monday,
Zelenski said he had a productive meeting with President Trump.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Don't bother looking for your tickets. Nobody
won the powerball jackpot rolled over again.

Speaker 10 (15:34):
There was no grand prize. Winner on Monday Night, pushing
the already massive jack bought up to an estimated six
hundred and forty three million dollars. Taking the cash option
on that would net you nearly two hundred and ninety
one million. Of course, striking you rich is anything that easy.
Odds of walking away with all that money are roughly
one in two hundred and ninety two million. The next
drawing is coming up on Wednesday. I'm Tammy Trihio.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Well Monday night football preseason action last night.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
Don't let this score fool of you.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
If the commanders had kept their starters in, well, if
both had kept their starters in beyond the first quarter,
it would have been quite a game. Bob Bengals took
a thirty one seventeen. It is preseason.

Speaker 7 (16:12):
Hi.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
I'm Dennis from People of Mississippi and my morning show
is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno. Hi, I'm Michael.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
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 or Talk Radio ninety eight point three
and fifteen ten WLAC and Nashville and News Talk five
fifty k f YI and Phoenix, Arizona. Love to be
a part of your morning routine. But we're always grateful

(16:46):
you're here. Now, enjoy the podcast. You know, Jeffery, you
could use a lifeline and have one of the listeners
help you use in the talkback line.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
Oh I can do that, you don't know? Ah, yes,
CP chest out in cootage man, what does that from?

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Only your lifeline and the talkback line who were doing
movie lines. Thirty six minutes after the hour, Ukrainian President
Zelensky says there's no date set, but he's all for
the next step, which is a trilateral meeting with Zelensky,
Putin and Trump and the.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
End of mail in ballots.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
That's something Donald Trump wants done before the midterm elections.
At MSNBC will soon have a new name, same field product,
same field worldview, same field policy views. We'll just call
it MS now instead. Oh well, that'll work as opposed
to it. Later and Jimmie Cod gets a stamp, it'll

(17:38):
be a forever stamp.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
You know what.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
I think they're like seventy eight cents each now or
something they've been.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Looked up with the I mean I've never I cannot
tell you the last time I've used to stamp. It
used to be.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Well, yeah, you would think, I guess, yeah, that's probably
all they're good for. I mean, who's who mails stamps anymore?
I don't think there's this there's there's not a single bill.
There's one of my mom's I'm gonna maybe need a
stamp for. But the rest I just to draft right
out of you with you. But the US Postal Service
as soon could issue a new forever stamp honoring President.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
Jimmy Carter.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Red and I were just having a very interesting conversation
off the air that I think we should bring on
the air. He used an analogy from the Patriots. But
by the way, why would you bring them up? First
of all, only if they went back to their old uniforms.
What I even consider maybe tolerating the New England Patriots?

(18:35):
Pat the Patriot, but remember him on the helmet was
was Grogan's first name, I can't remember now, the big
long neck Steve Grogan. Yeah, but we were talking about,
you know, situational football that the Patriots made famous, really
borrowing as Red was talking about from baseball, because baseball
is very high iq, very situational, and so basically what

(18:58):
happened was he started applying that to football. And that's
kind of what happened yesterday in the White House. I
bring up this whole so many chefs in the kitchen analogy,
and because of that, you weren't and because of the
last time they were in the Oval Office, I didn't

(19:18):
expect you would hear much from JD. Vance or Marco
Rubio because you have all these European leaders and you
have Zelenski. You know, Trump's going to play situational football,
and that is He'll do all the talking. And I
think it was you know, even in the machron criticism

(19:40):
that he doesn't necessarily have a lot of high hopes
that Vladimir Putin is ready to stop fighting. He respects
President Trump's optimism and desire to try and give it
a shot. And so when it's all said and done,
the next step is a trilateral meeting. No date has
been set, but this would be Zelenski, Putin, and Trump

(20:03):
sitting down, just the three of them. So apparently all
of Europe and everybody left on the same page. One
of the most interesting things is the Article five type protections.
That's what we're gonna call it, Article five type protections
because part of the agreement is going to be that
Ukraine isn't allowed in NATO, but it would still get
the benefits of NATO and protection. That was the biggest

(20:26):
stumbling block for Zelensky. And I don't blame him because
I see Muslim brotherhood do this, I see Hamas do this.
They'll play this game if something. When the US troops
were on the ground, they played along, but they would
knock on people's doors and say, sooner or later, the
US is gonna leave. And when they do, you've been cooperating,

(20:46):
We're gonna come cut your head off. And they did,
by the way, when we left Afghanistan. So Zelensky's not
an idiot. He doesn't want to just rush into some
deal that ends the war. And they just wait for
Trump to be gone, and if America gets a Democrat
president again, he just takes it right up from there,

(21:08):
which is why the President keeps stressing peace and lasting
peace and security guarantees that all came into play next
step of trilateral meeting. That's the latest one that I
loved this piece with Denzel Washington. By the way, don't

(21:29):
rush through it. Don't be so fast to make Denzel
Washington your hero that you miss the powerful cultural statement.
This is just an interview with Denzel Washington, and the
podcaster basically brings up cancel culture and somebody has changed

(21:55):
an eternal scoreboard and Denzel Washington wants nothing to.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
Do with it.

Speaker 9 (22:03):
Listen, do you guys consider being quote unquote canceled?

Speaker 3 (22:07):
What does that mean?

Speaker 9 (22:08):
You can't.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
It means you lose public support. Who cares?

Speaker 8 (22:12):
What made public support so important to begin with?

Speaker 3 (22:15):
I guess because followers now are currency. I don't care
who's following.

Speaker 11 (22:19):
Okay, you can't lead and follow at the same time,
and you can't follow and lead at the same time.
I don't follow anybody. I follow the heavenly Spirit. I
follow God, Man, I follow Man. I have faith in God,
I have hope and man.

Speaker 8 (22:36):
But look around, it ain't working out so well.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
And what a powerful satement. I have faith in God,
I have hope and man. And the difference. You could
chew on that for an entire Sunday. How about the
concept of you can't be a leader and a follower
at the same time. How about your shutting down this
whole fake currency that we're creating with very dangerous trajectory

(22:59):
and consputquins.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
What was the sci fi movie? Or was it a series?

Speaker 1 (23:06):
And they've already done it in China where you have
to have x amount of likes in order to commerce.
It was kind of like a twist on the Mark
of the Beast.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
Oh it was great. It was a long time ago.
Wasn't the Circle?

Speaker 9 (23:19):
Was it?

Speaker 1 (23:19):
Or was it the Circle? I think it was called
the Circle? Well, somebody google it. That's what we have
AI for by loss of memory. I think it might
have been one of those Is it the Black Mirror?
Remember what they do? Like it's a rip off of
the Twilight Zone, but they do a whole series and
each episode in and of itself stands on its own,

(23:42):
and it was one of them that they did.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
But it was based on that.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
Listen when that podcast or interviewer says, well, that's the
currency of today, is it? I think with Denzel Washington asked,
have you allowed that to become your cue? Your currency?
Is that a good day? How many likes you got?

(24:09):
And I can tell you that Denzel Washington is a
great commission guy. So he knows he's been purchased at
a price and that he has a calling to live.
And it goes by an anesthetical scoreboard to likes, cancel culture.

(24:37):
Who cares? What does that mean? To be canceled? Well,
you'll lose your public support. Who cares? Followers or currency?
I don't care who's following who. I don't follow anybody.
I follow God, I follow mammal role. But then I thought,

(25:04):
what a what a brilliant thing he embarks on faith
in God, hope and man. But looking around at man.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
Forget being followed. You can't be canceled.

Speaker 11 (25:14):
If you haven't signed up, don't sign up, get me started,
don't sign up.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Listen, I have I have observed, I have not joined.
But in my line of work, there's a big value
placed on socials because to some degree, in this world,
in this hour, that is a currency, and that is

(25:47):
a currency that is resold. Let me give you an example.
For forty two years, I've worked in radio in a
lot of ways. For many of those years, isn't about
the disc jockey. Although a disc jockey can bring the
stationality alive and keep things forwardly moving, your format set

(26:12):
your demise or your success. The music selections set your
demise or your success. You get into talk radio, you're
a little bit more. You are the product, you are
the content. So either win or you lose. And if
you have a lot of people who listen, that gets
converted into advertising. But even that's changing. But that is

(26:33):
a currency, and now they even want your full reach,
which I may have as many followers on Facebook as
I had on some radio stations I've worked that listen
all right, so it's a significant number. How do we
all get tricked into playing this game? And I have

(26:56):
seen how social media has destroyed I made a comment
to my wife the other day and she agreed. But
as I just observe, it seems to have impacted women
more than men. I see women getting sucked into it,
getting validation, getting likes, getting obsessed with how they look

(27:21):
or what they're saying. And all I can think of is,
you're doing that when you could be doing what. And
I think that's what Denzel's finally coming to. Don't subscribe,
don't play the game. Denzel Washington are Winner of of
the Day. Lose of the Day was tough between MSNBC,

(27:44):
which is now going to call itself ms Now does
anybody really think that the name change.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
Is going to help?

Speaker 11 (27:53):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (27:53):
No, more MSNBC, So I won't associate it with mb
I mean, this is the big mistake they made at
the beginning. And I said this when they were doing it,
when MSNBC made the decision in two thousand and eight
to go all in with Barack Obama and just the
media person that I was said, all right, where you're

(28:14):
going with that? Because at best, the most you can
serve as eight years? Then what are you after you
alienated your audience? Why would you do that? And you're
not just doing that independently, you're attaching your parent company.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
Named to it NBC.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
So now if NBC News, if MSNBC is perceived as bias,
NBC will be perceived as biased. And of course they
both were, they all are. But from a branding standpoint,
this is branding one oh one mistake. And now, sixteen
years after Obama they're going to finally address it. Well,

(28:57):
too late, but MSNBC is going to check change its
name and it's spin off from Comcast NBCUniversal, the left
leaning cable network, and that's being kind, will rebrand as
my source news opinion, world ms NOW as they sell
you what they have been news, opinion and news.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
Don't you love They've already come up with a new
acronym for now no one watches.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yeah, well, unless you change your worldview, unless you change
your very content, unless you get back to being what
you were supposed to be all along news, No, nay,
that's can't put lipstick on a pig. You can't put
msn NOW on the slaughtered pig and get any different result.

(29:50):
And then you've got the Hillary Clinton analogy, which I
just couldn't make sense of.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
Can you read?

Speaker 1 (29:55):
I mean, she says, on one hand, Republican officials call
themselves war fighters. On the other, they become whiny cry
babies at the thought of setting foot in DC streets
or New York City subways that literally school children navigate
every day without incident. I mean, the implication that there
are no there's no crime in New York City in Washington,
DC is laughable. Number Two, there's nobody that's been a

(30:17):
cry baby. The cry baby's been the Democrats about the
President sending in federal support to secure the seats of
our district of Columbia.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
So I just don't even get the analogy. What am
I missing?

Speaker 4 (30:29):
She's just bitter she lost in twenty six.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
Oh it's that simple, Okay, I'll buy that.

The Trump administration will provide the House Oversight Committee with
documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Speaker 3 (31:13):

Speaker 9 (31:15):
The Department of Justice will hand over the files on Friday,
although House investigators originally requested the documents to be submitted
by August nineteenth. Requested materials include all documents and communications
in the DOJ's possession connected to Epstein and his associate
Geelan Maxwell, as well as files further relating or referring
to human trafficking exploitation of minors, sexual abuse or related activity.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
DC Mayor Bowser is pushing back on President Trump's declaration
that is anti crime crackdown is making the city safer.

Speaker 10 (31:48):
Trump called DC's crime statistics fake in a truth Social
post on Monday, adding that the surgeon, federal agents, and
National Guard troops is already improving safety. Mayor Bowser disputed
that during remarks to report orders, saying the increasing number
of troops posted in the city doesn't make sense. She
went on to say that a better question is why
the military would be deployed in an American city to

(32:09):
police Americans. I'm tammage rheouh.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
No, the better question is why is a officer who
changed those crime numbers on leave? As documented by your
city's newspaper, Oh well, President Trump is moving to eliminate
mail in ballots ahead of the twenty twenty six midterm elections.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Brian Shook reports.

Speaker 12 (32:29):
The President shared a post on truth Social which outlined
his plan to lead a movement to get rid of
mail in ballots, and it targets what he called highly inaccurate,
very expensive, and seriously controversial voting machines.

Speaker 6 (32:42):
Ballots are corrupt mail in ballots, so you could never
have a real democracy with mail in ballost.

Speaker 12 (32:49):
Trump has previously claimed there's been widespread voter fraud involving
mail in ballots and pledged to fight for election integrity.

Speaker 3 (32:57):

The National Potato Council says Idaho grows the most spots
in the country, about fourteen billion pounds every year, and
that's good because the average America needs about one hundred
and twenty pounds of them yearly. They grow in every state,
even on the International Space Station. Many vodkas are made
from them. You can power a clock with one for
about a day, but French pride is the number one choice.
