Speaker 1 (00:00):
TG if fake news that you can trust from the
Babylon b Trump jerrymanders US to include Canada and a
quote from Kamala Harris's new book, quote, that was the
day I found out I've been pronouncing my first name
wrong this whole time. Now for the real thing. Today

(00:22):
is the day President Trump has told Russian dictator Vladimir
Putin either stop shooting at Ukraine and come to the
peace table, or you will get hit with the most
painful economic sanctions in history. That makes this a more
dangerous world. Overnight, Russian drones veered off into Romanian airspace.
Romania is a member of NATO. If some Russian operator

Why so much for them? They buy one third of
Russia's oil, which is funding the Ukraine war. These are
the highest tariffs in almost one hundred years. Treasury Secretary

admits the tax is paid by the person who receives
the product. Besson agrees that check is written by the importer,

his two daughters, but this is new. Five months before

(01:54):
the blast, regulators found a faulty dust collection system there
allowed sawdus to blow around. Neighbors complained that the sawdust
was potting up on their cars and clogging up drains.
Did the company do anything? Did the sawdust cause the accident? Maybe?
But right now nobody is for sure. Trump's big beautiful

years ago. Politics watched the race for governor of Michigan.

(03:01):
The leading candidate is Mike Duggan, who as mayor brought
Detroit back to economic life. He's an independent left The
Democrats says all they care about is hating Trump, and
Republicans can't control their own spending, so he's going at
it alone. Already raised three point two million leads in
polls among Detroiters. Champions of Character, Jen Powwall of West Milton,
