Hello there, you're on Live the Dream Media, Christopher DeSimone. Shea is rocking it on a Thursday, throwback Thursday, thankful Thursday, thirsty Thursday. I forgot it was. It used to be thirsty Thursday and back at Fiddlesticks up in NAU, which is now a parking lot, but it had its moments. Happy anniversary to our friends, Francisco and Katie Gonzalez. Fernando, she's too old. Fernando and Katie, happy anniversary. 54 years, amazing couple, one of my favorites. Love you guys, keep up the great work. We got Schweikert, the author educator interview that I double booked yesterday, which is now back at 7.30, followed by John Winchester running for Ld 17 state house. So that's happening today. Rundown of stuff today will be, I was going back through the desimonehq.com blog, and there is a Barbara Lawal op-ed from about 12, 14, 16 months ago. We're going to see, we like to see how things, whether how they age or not, right? And I'll read this one. You guys tell me how you think this one aged or not. Then I have competing op-eds here. We have this Islamic DSA guy in Michigan, right? And I got an op-ed that says he offers the template for Democrats to defeat Trumpism. But then I have another one that's why you shouldn't be surprised if Democrats don't flip the house. So we'll talk about that together. Fetterman says other Dems won't call out the DSA radicals because they're, quote, afraid of them.
Then we'll talk about this guy, Abdul Sayed, saying that what he keeps seeing on his Instagram page, and I think it's one of the funniest things. It's the non-self-awareness moment of the week. We'll talk about this Clay Travis thing where he wants to, originally there was a $10 million bet with the WNBA that a good high school team could beat any of their team, of all their, but now he wants to field an old transgender WNBA team, just to keep testing the WNBA.
City of Tucson discusses safe action plan, targeting homeless drug use and crime.
Then we have, I want to talk about this, you'll see Katie has her, Katie, the governor, has her erasure of a billion dollars of medical debt.
Let's find out where that money came from.

It's cute, it's cute.

We're also going to play.
The call to the audience at the City of Tucson council last night. It's the grandson of Ms. Gerhke, the nice lady who was pretty much murdered being in her apartment. And her grandson comes devastatingly spicy to the call to the audience. So we'll talk about that. We're going to play it for you before this hour is over. And he doesn't hold back.

**SPEAKER_4** (4:24)
It's pretty serious.

So let's start bringing up some live chats with the kids here. Let's go. We got to do that. Very important. You can very, very fun way to interact with the show. And you know, and you can still call up 520-771-5101.
But the live chat is such an easy way for everyone to participate in the show. I read 90, depending on what's going on, 97 to 99 percent of all comments. Not all of them. And don't get butthurt if I don't read yours. That's just life. Tomorrow, Van Buren top 10 Jeff Goldblum movies.
After we came out of the Sam Neill movies and we're talking about Jurassic Park and I was talking about my admiration for Jeff Goldblum in that movie. I think he's the best character in that movie. And Sam Neill, actually the two of them are the two best. I feel like I'm rocking the Tucson Young Professionals look today with the V-neck and my jacket today. So, all right, let's see what's going on here. Cowboy Tilly, good morning my friend. Remember, we have, it's going to be Luke and Ron Arenas on The Flavor, they got a football coach. I forgot which one it is, I'll get it before I go look back and buy my phone. They're on Southwest Flavor later today. Also, happy anniversary to Ron and Janay Arenas. I think it was 36 or 37, 34, in the 30s. Anyway, another one of my favorite two people. Mother Mucker, good morning, humid morning, torrential downpour at the ranch overnight. OV, we just, I woke up to, go to the bathroom, sorry, too much information, at like 12.3 in the morning and it was wind like you would never believe. I got umbrellas all over my backyard, ones that I thought I had down. I mean it was, it was just like, it was like literally just all of a sudden it was like, it wasn't like stopping.
