June Calloway: Good morning. You slept; he posted. Let’s read the overnight tape first.

June Calloway: Now, his posts. He framed the election as a choice between capitalism and socialism, sharing a Newsmax piece on reframing that narrative for a win.
June Calloway: On foreign policy, he claimed near-total control of the Hormuz Strait, dismissing any need to force Iran to bargain. He wrote that their economy is collapsing and asked when their people will rise up.
June Calloway: He also shared a link about drug pricing, arguing these announcements secure America’s supply chain beyond just lower costs for consumers.
June Calloway: Domestically, he posted a long string of disaster aid figures. He announced 50.5 Million for Texas, 19.9 Million for Missouri, and 13.2 plus 7.3 Million for Kansas.
June Calloway: He listed smaller sums: 9.1 Million for Kentucky, 3.4 Million each for North Dakota and South Dakota, and 1.7 Million for the Oglala Sioux Tribe in South Dakota.
June Calloway: He also nominated Hung Cao as Secretary of the Navy and indicted a suspect in the WWII Memorial vandalism case, sharing headlines for both.
June Calloway: What to watch today: how markets react to his claim of controlling the Hormuz Strait.
June Calloway: That's the show. We're on Spotify and YouTube — if this earned it: like, subscribe, tell a friend. And housekeeping: the machine that writes this gets tuned constantly for cleaner news. The numbers are real; the jokes are not. One more thing: this whole station runs on one garage computer, and if the tape ever earned you a coffee, there's a tip jar at informant.reiners.io. It keeps the phone line on.
