I want to start in Tucson, Arizona, because we have a diary entry for today. Dear diary, as I reflect, people used to love to call me a little worm. But what they don't realize is that I have injected the fly with a little worm and I have become relevant again. I am the new world screw worm. That's not a bad Anthony Fauci. By the way, I stand by my listeners. We're one of the few national shows that our listeners do the schick. Good stick, Mark. You're welcome anytime. You do know he was doing Anthony Fauci, right? Yeah, I picked that up. Oh, okay. Why am I the only one laughing? That was funny. Because if I laugh right now, I cough when I laugh, so I'm having to be careful. I'm playing hurt. Let's go to Oakland and Slabo. Oakland Slabo. The question of the day is, will Anthony Fauci be wearing a mask or not? 520 days till retirement. Not that I'm counting. Yeah. That dessert actually a rim shot. Wouldn't it be funny if he showed up in a mask? Oh my gosh. A cloth one. Oh, that's another great memory that we all forget. Remember when they would, they'd all be sitting, the cameras, you know, different angles would show you. They'd all sit in there talking without their mask. And it was time to do the news conference. They put their mask on. Yeah. I mean, it was such a fraud. Oh.

Oh, Valerie, call on me. Valerie. I think he'll miss the boat because the best song for him is Liar, Liar by the castaways. Liar, liar, liar. That's true. Anyway, love the show. All right. Castaways could be good. Liar, liar, liar. Tell me lies, Fleetwood, Mac. Actually, Reds is good. The arithmetic one. Yeah. Yeah, that's silly. Which caused us to spend five minutes. These two had never heard the song, Why. George Michael had a song that I, and I will go to my grave thinking, Andy Williams, Moon River, may be the greatest vocal performance I've ever heard in my life. What? It's haunting. It's just, it's unbelievable. But. George Michael had one. You know, these moments where you go, that may be the best vocal I've ever heard in my life. Annie Lennox and Y might be the greatest vocal, vocal performance I have ever heard. And that's why it's kind of a downer for me to do the arrhythmics, even though Red had to chime in, it was number five. Number one with a bullet in my dorm in my penthouse magazine. I'm doing that. Our program director, Mike, at K-S-T-E in Sacramento, has an idea. Dear Diary, as I reflect, people. That's not, Mike. That's Mark. I've got these things all out of the way. Here's Mike, I think. So trying to pick one song. Use them all. Use it. Mix them up. Tell them you can choose from. Just use the bits and pieces that you want. Yeah, that's what we do with Dr. Joe. We do a montage. That's it. You know what? I'm going to go with Mike in Sacramento. We're going to do a montage. Okay. That way we can get castaways, Fleetwood Mac, your rhythmics, got to do Marys too. And Marys is strong. Marys is like made to be a radio bit. That's the Thompson twins, last, last, last, yeah? Yeah, we'll do a montage. All right, we'll do that. All right, I'm ending our question of the day. Okay. Now, that's, of course, assuming that Anthony Fauci doesn't just bleed the fifth through a cloth mask. And only time we'll tell on that. You're a fresh person. I think that this is a mentally retarded person. He called me king now, do you believe it? No king. I'm such a king. I can't get a ballroom. All right, always revealing often entertaining time for your sounds of the day. I watched in its entirety. I couldn't watch it live, but Red scared me. I told the story in the Platinum Hour. I'm buying a refrigerator at Home Depot. Beautiful, LG. Anyway, and he's like, remind me not to have Sean Hannity ever do my eulogy. And so I'm thinking, what? Because, you know, Sean can get up and wing. First of all, I'm not, you know. You may not like Sean Hannity on air. I understand that, but I cannot tell you what a genuine, wonderful person he is in real life. I mean, he's one of the nicest, warmest, humblest, you know, people. But, you know, these kinds of things are really usually in his wheelhouse, you know, just give him a microphone and let him just, you know, tell stories.

named drop or whatever. So I thought, wow, he must have had a bad eulogy, which that would be shocking for me because Sean would prepare and do a good, well, it wasn't that. It was the things he was revealing in the eulogy that made Red, say, remind me not to have Sean Hannity. I thought Sean did an absolutely brilliant job eulogizing Lindsey Graham. I thought he got everybody in. from the people of South Carolina to his staff members, to members of Congress. Everybody that was impacted by his life and grieving his death and family just did a terrific job. And so did the president. And my favorite story was the one that I kind of alluded to before the actual memorial service. And that is, don't forget, these two did not get off to a good start. I mean, Lindsey Graham and the president talked about this during his remembrance. If you were on the same side as Lindsey Graham, he was great. If you were on an opposing side, he was tenacious and vicious. And he was that way to the president in 2016. Now, most people just dismissed the president like it was some kind of a reality TV joke. This guy's never going to be. They would always default to this guy's never going to be president. Lindsay saw the potential and attacked and attacked hard. and the president retaliated. How did these two immediate enemies end up such close, dear friends? I'll let the president tell you. As you remember, Lindsay and I did not exactly get off to the best of starts, running against each other. Back in 2016, Lindsay said something rather nasty on his flight to becoming the next president of the United States. So naturally, I did something that I shouldn't have done. I shared his personal cell phone number with the millions of people that happened to be watching that particular day. As I made a speech, a very important speech, and I remember the number 202-228-0292, if anybody wants to give it a shot. His phone exploded. He said, I had that number for 20 years. His phone totally, I don't know what he did with it. But it exploded. That was the beginning of a friendship in a way. But it was Lindsay who had the last laugh because while I blew up his phone for one day, we became great friends. And Lindsay did not stop calling me for the next 10 years. It was not easy. That was a great line. Wouldn't have been funny if you'd heard a little muffled ring coming from the casket. President sharing some really personal stories and some very loving remarks about his dear friend. All right, we got all this focus on Anthony Fauci. This is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just obliterating Anthony Fauci for lying about the COVID vaccine. Listen, this massive dichotomy between what he was saying privately and what he was simultaneously saying publicly. He says in his diaries on January 30th that the Wuhan lab could not possibly be the source of the virus. Oh, we know that was all. Well, we all know it. But now his diary, he says he knew that. And yet for two years, he told us that that was. But he was given a pardon prospectively from the last administration. We don't know if it was an auto pen pardon. It doesn't really matter for legality purposes. But.

Americans want to know a lot of them. Is there going to be any accountability? For trillions of dollars lost, children's education destroyed, and public health reputation, and public health industry reputation shattered. Yeah, and millions of people injured. He lied about mass. He lied about social distancing. He lied about the transmission. He lied about natural immunity. He lied about the capacity, as you just said, of the... a vaccine to prevent infection. He got vaccinated a very, very public press conference in January of 2020. And then five months later, he had, and it's the first time that we knew this from the diary. He had a pulmonary infarction, which is one of the adverse events. that NIH, CDC, and FDAs that are expected from the vaccine. I realize it's difficult to listen to Bobby in long form because of his illness. But he's making powerful points. And these are all the lies. Now, it's not that we didn't know they were lies and we haven't already confirmed they were lies, but now he confirms them in these diary entries. So he was purposely misleading the president, purposely misleading Congress, purposely misleading the American people. He was standing in a tremendous conflict of interest, being involved with the very lab where the leak took place. Somewhere along the line having a narcissistic, wonderful time with his newfound fame. But this is why David Zanai and I keep coming back to that Institute meeting, Malkin Institute, because they're all talking about MRNA technology. And they're... all lamenting on, well, yeah, we're going to have to spend billions of dollars, wait a decade for testing. And one of the scientists goes, no, but what if, literally, what if, let's say one of these deadly viruses leak from one of our facilities, you know, let's say in China, literally says this. This is two weeks before COVID. And we had some kind of worldwide emergency. Well, then we wouldn't have to go through trials. We wouldn't have to spend billions of dollars. They would do it because of the emergency. And then it happened two weeks later. Who were the big winners? China and Big Pharma and Anthony Fauci. And just to cut to the chase, as I warn, this was a nothing more than a political weapon. And if there's no accountability and there's no consequence, the weapon still... in use and one of its main operatives is still out there. And they will use it again. This is very interesting. I don't know if I can get this in is the problem. So this is Harry Anton and CNN. And he's kind of going over the numbers on voters on the war in Iran. And you would think that this would be the number one thing the Democrats could ride to the finish line in the midterms. But just like everything else with the Democrats, they stand against things, but they don't stand for anything, and they have no likability or credibility. So believe it or not, the president is still polling better on Iran than Democrats.

I can't get the second part in, listen. The Democratic Party and the minds of the American public are weak, weak, weak to quote the great Tony Blair. I mean, just look at this. Just look at these net approval ratings of Democrats in Congress. In late February 8, the beginning of the war, was minus 41 points, minus 39, minus 39. And so you're just looking at these numbers right here and you go to yourself. No wonder, no wonder what's going on at this point that Democrats simply put cannot take the ball and run with it and actually in the polls be trusted born and run. Because the Democrats in Congress simply put are not well liked. In fact, these are the three lowest on record in terms of percentage points for the approval for Democrats. In history. And we all know what the socialists want to destroy, but nobody knows what they plan to build or how they plan to build it. And if that's the snapshot today, it's a glimpse of the results come November. Do you understand the words? I hope so. People who majored in online activism with a minor in puberty box. They're getting a little bit yippy. Many of you in the media. It's the art of the deal. Just be cool. It's going to work out. And that is your sounds of the day for Wednesday, July the 29th. Top five stories of the day are next. God, gold and silver, rather, recently soared to record highs. Well, God has always so. But golden silver recently sorted to record highs, and then it kind of pulled back a little bit. So that would initiate the question, our precious metal is still a good buy. Well, major banks think so. And they're forecasting even higher prices ahead. And why? Well, we're $40 trillion in debt. The dollar is declining. Inflation keeps shrinking our savings. And even with corrections along the way, gold remains a historical hedge for wealth protection. Maybe that's why Morgan Stanley ditched the 6040 stock to bond portfolio. They're recommending now 20% in precious metals. That begs the question. Have you... been prepared for this moment and prepared for what's coming next. Should you have 20% of your investments in gold and precious metals?

This is your morning show with Michael Del Chon. The U.S. and Saudi Arabia have launched airstrikes on Iran-backed groups in Iraq. Mark Mayfield has our top story.

The attacks carried out late Tuesday come after Iran launched ballistic missiles at U.S. forces in the Middle East. In a post on X U.S. Central Command said all of those missiles were successfully intercepted. Sentcom described the assault as an attempted surprise attack. These strikes in Iraq targeted what Sentcom called terrorist logistics and weapons sites. I'm Mark Mayfield. And so much for the narrative that we had to pause because we didn't have defense systems and munitions. This is Dan calling from Erie, Pennsylvania.

Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard weekday mornings in great cities like Tulsa, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Memphis, and Nashville, Tennessee. And we got you covered in California. San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento. We'd love to be a part of your morning routine. We're thrilled you're here now. Enjoy the podcast. I believe the Anthony Fauci testimony. On the origins of COVID is beginning in our nation's capital with opening statements from the chairman, Rand Paul, of this particular committee. But Anthony Fauci, in the spotlight, going before a Senate hearing today. And it's already begun. American Airlines has lifted that nationwide ground stoppage after a system outage. The airline confirmed a technology issue, briefly impacted connectivity. for some of these systems, and they are now free to move about the cabin. Flooded dead's for the cabin first purchase, secure doors. At least 13 people have been confirmed dead in an earthquake in Japan yesterday, a sanctions bill, sponsored by the late Senator Lindsey Graham, receiving bipartisan support and passing, and they're expecting Spider-Man brand new day to bring in about $300 million in its opening weekend. Can't have your morning show without your voice. Let's start with Shane. Shane is calling from... Our Twin Cities talk, news talk in Minnesota. Good morning, guys. I lost my spouse because of Anthony Fauci and the lies at Tim Walz and everybody during COVID. I had to watch her slowly pass away for a year because of them. I want to see these guys get the maximum penalty and be prosecuted if not. I have no faith in this country anymore whatsoever. First and foremost, Shane, we're sorry for your loss. Secondly, this is why, and I think it gets lost. Everybody gets to the examples. And several flash before your eyes. People's jobs and careers impacted. Students who lost education in a time of their life that they'll never catch up. I mean, we go through all the costs of COVID. The greatest cost spent by COVID was not the trillions that led to inflation that lead to our economic struggles even today. It was the loss of trust. This is no small thing I'm saying. I will never trust the World Health Organization again. They might as well change their name and the CDC to go with it. Or even some major hospital names that I used to trust, I no longer trust. I watch them just blindly follow these procedures and participate in a very misleading death toll that was used to scare and grip and fear. for the purposes of controlling the American people. These were individuals that were dying of comorbidities. But because they happened to have COVID at the time of their death, they were listed as COVID deaths. Now, there were some people that died from the complications of COVID. There are some people who died from an untested vaccine without any liability. There were people who died of whatever they died of and forced to die alone. And family members couldn't be with them.

We had a question earlier in the day. I thought it was a great question. Nobody asked the obvious, simple ones. If Anthony Fauci were to look the camera in the eye today in this committee and say, I was wrong and apologize, would that be enough? And the answer is no. No, because of the damages. The damages require consequence. And then ultimately, this is a weapon. that hasn't been diffused. That's what COVID was, a political weapon. Now, the people who used it, the operatives and those that detonated the weapon, they need to be held to accountability. And the weapon itself needs to be revealed. Now, the question is, can it? It's like when we were talking with David Sinati. All right, so we had a, and I don't know what you call it, fake news, death of journalism. mainstream media, biased media, legacy media, whatever it is. They didn't cover the story honestly and objectively when it was happening. What makes you think they will now with the diaries? The matrix is why half of America was pro-mask and half was anti. Half was pro-vax. Half was anti. Half was pro-social distancing. The other half was not. But somewhere in the midst of all of those issues was the truth. A virus is a virus. It's never a new normal. And we never defeat viruses. Let me repeat that because I think people forget that. Doctors have forgotten that. Viruses are never defeated. They're absorbed. You get it and die or you get it and live and then you're immune. And of course, the lesson of all lies are you tell one big lie and they've got to tell a million because of the first one. And so then that played out. Oh, get the vaccine, nothing will happen to you. Not true. Every America needed to weigh the risk. You don't die of this or that. You die of life and choices. Let me repeat that. You don't die of this or that. You die of life and choices. Even innocent choices. Oh, honey, I'll go get the milk and then you die in a car accident. But if you make the choice to smoke day after day, year after year, even if you quit someday, the proclivity for you to get cancer exists. So did you die of cancer or the bad choice of smoking or drinking or eating? We have a nation that's literally digging its grave with a fork right now. What will the cause of death be? Could be a heart attack, could be a stroke, could be diabetes, could be kidney failure, liver. But you died of living and the choices that you made. You died of eating and overeating your entire life. But with COVID, that was all different. You could have been in the process of dying of cancer, but at the time you died of cancer, if you also had the COVID virus, even though that didn't kill you, you were listed as a COVID death. And that was danced across the bottom of a screen. to peak your fear, to peak their control. It was a political weapon. They got you to do what they could never get you to do with global warming. Obey. And by the way, it starts with Anthony Fauci, but frankly, I don't play that game. I don't have a litigious bone in my body.

The U.S. and Saudi Arabia have launched air strikes on Iranian-back groups in Iraq. Mark Mayfield has that top story. The attacks carried out late Tuesday, come after Iran launched ballistic missiles at U.S. forces in the Middle East. In a post on X, U.S. Central Command said all of those missiles were successfully intercepted. Sentcom described the assault as an attempted surprise attack. These strikes in Iraq targeted what Sentcom called terrorist logistics and weapons sites. I'm Mark Mayfield. Elon Musk has launched a new financial service on his ex-social media platform.

And stations across America, this is your morning show. Honor to serve you. I'm Michael. Jeffrey's been serving up to sound. I caught you one out with Rush there after I did the... You like that, don't you? Nothing gets by you. This is the big time. Red's been keeping an eye on our top stories, and of course, Rory O'Neill's been following one of those. The president, of course, pushing for interest rate reductions. This is like a tornado watch, Rory. A conditions are favorable, certainly not for a rate cut, but conditions are somewhat favorable for an increase. That's what should be watched. Let's hope it just stays even. What do you see coming today? Right. Now, remember, the Fed has to do two things. They have to maximize employment and they have to keep inflation around 2%. And unfortunately, that inflation number is a bit out of whack right now, almost twice where it should be. Now, the June inflation data, that was encouraging. But you and I both know. that in the past couple of weeks, we've seen the gas prices spike, oil prices spike because of new strikes in Iran. So maybe it is, things are a bit more inflationary. Now, this is why most people agree that the Fed will probably just keep things where they are for right now. And this new Fed chair, Kevin Warsh, he's actually asked for some more research and is waiting for some final reports to come in. So everyone thinks today's meeting essentially make it a placeholder, maybe some real action happening at their next meeting. Yeah. And again, you know, I'm just trying to be honest about everything. Tariffs threw a wrinkle in things. This war that was supposed to be day, would have been days, maybe a couple of weeks has turned into months. At this moment, things seem calm, oils down to $80 where it should be, the market's back up. But we all know more bombing is coming. In fact, Iran attacked overnight. Inflation is where it is, and it would require, I think, a rate increase. The employment numbers are a little, if anything, not concerning, but uncertain. So I, yeah, I say likely nothing, no change. And if anything, an increase is what the president should be worrying about today. If they do their jobs, they normally do. And the difference between Kevin Warsh, the new Fed chair, and his predecessor, Jerome Powell, is that Jerome Powell used to send out signals to the market, saying essentially like, hey, this is where we are now, and then at the next meeting, we're probably going to do this. Whereas Kevin Warsh... is much more close to the vest. He's not showing any ankle. He's not really giving us any indication as to what could be around the corner. So let's see what the reporters can get out of them at the news conference that follows today's rate announcement. But don't expect much. He's pretty tight-lipped about the future.

I had never heard that one, but it always creeped me out when a man, you know, would like cross his legs or something. You'd see a little bit of ankle. It's a reference to women. No, it's a reference to women showing skin and, you know, they wouldn't a woman in Victorian era. She wouldn't show any ankle, meaning that she was approved. That's twice angles came up this week. Ancles came up. My son asked me what a Bobby Sox was, and I actually knew, which shows how old I am. All right, great reporting, as always. We'll keep our fingers crossed at those interest rates. Just stay where they're at and don't increase. Roy O'Neill. He'll be back tomorrow. All right, one chance to live, Wednesday, July 29th, 2026. It'll never happen again.
