Hey everybody, it is Thursday, July 9th. You're listening to the MoNews podcast. I'm Moshe Oinounou.

**Jill Wagner** (1:13)
And I am Jill Wagner. This is the place where we bring you just the facts.

**Mosheh Oinounou** (1:17)
And where we read all the news and read between the lines so you don't have to. And sometimes, Jill, we report on things happening in the future, like the way future.
And there's a report, a new scientific out report, about what's going to happen when the sun burns out. And I have good news and bad news, but mainly bad news. First things first, the sun is good for another five billion years.

**Jill Wagner** (1:39)
Okay, good.

**Mosheh Oinounou** (1:40)
But that's when it will, as a star, will burn out. It will die. When the sun dies, basically, it'll burn up some of the planets around it. There was initial thinking that we would be one of those planets along with Mercury and Venus. Now, according to a new study, there is a scenario where Earth is pushed farther out into the solar system.
The planet still exists, but humanity doesn't survive that. Just FYI, we're good for a while, for a few more billion years, depending on what we do to ourselves, of course. But I just wanted to let everyone know in case they were thinking, as one does about what happens five billion years from now, that apparently now there are multiple studies about what could happen.

**Jill Wagner** (2:22)
So my takeaway here is, don't put this on your list of things to worry about.

**Mosheh Oinounou** (2:27)
No. Even if we can, medical science and AI can make us live a little longer, you're likely not lasting a few more billion years.

**Jill Wagner** (2:36)
Yeah. Okay. Good information.
Definitely something to talk about, I guess, at a dinner party, but not something I think I'm going to worry about on a day-to-day basis.

**Mosheh Oinounou** (2:47)
It's definitely a fun fact if you have a kid in the car right now listening to this.
They're like, do you know how the world is going to end? In five billion years, the sun could burn us up or push us farther out of the solar system. Anyway, I digress, but I nerd out on that stuff.

**Jill Wagner** (3:00)
Okay. Let's get to some headlines. Graham Platner ending his Senate bid after those rape allegations. What is next? More strikes against Iran overnight. President Trump says the ceasefire is over, and he has some strong words for Iran's new government.

**Mosheh Oinounou** (3:15)
Yeah. Calling them cuckoo, among other things, the 180 from a couple of weeks ago will tell you why the change in tone.

**Jill Wagner** (3:23)
The president left the NATO summit on Wednesday. We have headlines from the alliance's meeting in Turkey, and why President Trump unexpectedly switched back to his old Air Force One.

**Mosheh Oinounou** (3:35)
It was why he says he did.

**Jill Wagner** (3:36)
And as speculation grows about how Senator Mitch McConnell is doing, the governor of Kentucky is urging him to provide an update on his health.

**Mosheh Oinounou** (3:45)
Apparently those statements about phone calls with no audio, video or statement as to what he's suffering from have not been enough.

**Jill Wagner** (3:54)
With everybody who talked to him seemingly talking to him for about 20 minutes.

**Mosheh Oinounou** (3:59)
He's been busy on the phone, Jill. We just haven't heard what he said or why he's in the hospital.

**Jill Wagner** (4:03)
Democratic presidential hopeful Rahm Emanuel has some tough words for Israel in a speech at Tel Aviv University on Wednesday.
