Hey, everybody. It is Tuesday, August 1st. You're listening to the Mo news podcast. I'm

Mochewanunu. And I'm Jill Wagner. This is the place where we bring you just the facts.

And we read all the news and read between the lines. So you don't have to Jill, for those

of you watching on YouTube, you're going to a glimpse behind me of actually sort of my

childhood bedroom recreated. My parents have retired to Fort Worth, Texas, still moving

in here and I'm visiting for a couple of days. And we were talking before the podcast.

It is hot AF as the kids say, or do they not say that anymore? I don't think they say

that anymore. It's just it's super hot. I think 106 was the high today in Fort Worth, Jill.

You look at the 10 day forecast. It's 105, 106, 104, 105. They tell me though it's a dry

heat though, Jill, after a couple of minutes, I don't care if it's dry heat. I need the

PC. Yeah, that's dry heat. It's a total scam. It's a misnote. I know you people in

the Southwest, that's a dry heat. I'm like, it's still hot. Jill, just before we get started

here today, I got a note just as we were about to tape here from one of our listeners who

writes in. This is Michelle, who says, my son and I listened to your podcast every morning

on the way to his high school. We have the best conversations following your episodes.

Thank you. And Jill. Michelle, thank you and your son.

That is why we do this, right? I think that's the goal. We actually do it for you two.

We think about what you guys might want to hear about every day. But in all earnestness,

we love to hear that what we talk about and the way we talk about it does provoke productive

conversations about what's happening out there and give you the facts you need to really

be informed about this world. And with that, let's get to some headlines. The US government

is preparing to take on Amazon in a battle that can lead to the break up of the company.
