Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, gang, it's me Michael. You can listen to your

routine or your drive to work companion on great stations
like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and fifteen ten
WLAC in Nashville, Tupelos News and Talk one on one
point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk
six fifty KSTE and Sacramento, California. Love to have you
(00:21):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the
podcast Enjoy.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Well two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
This is your morning show with Michael Gill charm. My
dad always said, Michael, just sensitive. I'm feeling it today.
Two Israeli embassy staff members are dead and I can't
get either of them off my mind. You know, sometimes
you just got to take an action. And the action
is people of faith out there be praying for their
(00:57):
mothers and fathers, for their brothers and sis and their
family and friends. Just a senseless murder in our nation's
capital last night. The Big Beautiful Bill has passed the
House narrowly two fifteen two fourteen it's headed at the
Senate and the thunders SGA named NBA MVP, good morning
(01:17):
and welcome to Thursday made the twenty second. Al Right,
I guess what Budapest? Are you going to make a guess?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
That's I was going to go with hungry, Hungry read
you want to make a guess? Kazakhstan costics don Lieutenant
Colonel James Carafano a world away joining us this morning
from where.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Bucharest in Romanian.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Oh, I said, Budapest, that was so close you.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Were seeing you were you went? You're like when country off?
You know? Not right?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
So obviously the big question is a.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Game wordle game, right, it is.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I want to I want to die. I don't believe
in reincarnation, but if I did, I want to come
back your miles, your airline miles. All right. So Israel
has the Iron Dome. Donald Trump wants the Golden Dolome.
Ronald Reagan wanted Star Wars. How is Golden Dome different
from Iron Dome and Star Wars? Isn't it worth the price?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Well? Actually it's it's it's in some ways more sophisticated
than Star Wars. Star Wars was the original conception which
was space based interceptors really designed it to deal with
ballistic missiles, but the contemporary threats ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles,
cruise missiles, and drones. And so this is actually a
much more ambitious program in some ways, but a lot
(02:38):
less than others. I mean, when when a lot of
reagans proposed star Wars, but the technology to actually do
that did not exist. I mean, it fundamentally comes down
like hitting a bullet with a bullet. Right. You basically
take anything that's flying relatively in any aerodynamic structure needs
(03:08):
you know, structural stability in order to fly, and all
you have to do is take that away, and the
thing is going to fall apart and fall down. You
don't have to blow it up. You just have to
punch a hole in it or dent it. And so
that's the idea of hitting a bullet with a bullet,
and this is the technology to do this is really
(03:29):
not a question. The cost of it's actually pretty reasonable
because people completely misinterpret costs of Go, oh my god,
an aircraft Caurier, you know, costs x billion dollars. When
you look at defense, it's just like when you look
at insurance, it's not what it costs you. It's the
(03:49):
value of what you are protecting. And when you look
at the American economy, touring for a million, multi trillion
dollars of dollars dollars of infrastructure and everything else, the
the ability to protect that twenty five billions actually cheat
And more importantly, what this really is that is is
you know, people wrap their heads on this. They said, well,
(04:12):
we're protecting the homeland. What we're really doing is protecting
the ability of the United States to go out in
the world and do things and to people who take
our nuclear things seriously. It's called the offense defense mix.
You know, if you can punch a guy in the face, okay,
that's a threat. But if you can take a punch
and not get hurt, well, then you're superman, right. And
(04:33):
that's the idea of the offense defense mix, which enables
not only does it empower your ability to defend yourself,
it greatly empowers your ability to not be threatened by
other countries. Say well, if you don't do what I said,
it's going to blow you up.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I love a given missile crisis.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
The I was there, I did not love it.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
It was no no, no, I know you were there,
but the Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was basically, I
mean the military was up in arms. Sorry, that's it.
Let's go blow these up and let's go, you know, invade,
invade Cuba. But you know what the Secretary of State
was conveying to President Kennedy was, this is first strike capability.
This is massively destabilizing. Because you had nothing to block
(05:17):
the punch and no time to block the punch. It
was massively destabilizing to offense. That's that offense defense that
you're trying to explain.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
So it's not just what essentially yeah, right, well, actually
what you have done was risk war to get rid
of a threat. And what we actually did not know
at the time is they actually had tactical nuclear warheads
in Cuba that they could have fired us if they
were attacked. So it was it was extremely dangerous. So
you're right. So the point about Iron Dome and these
(05:46):
other things is if you can defend yourself, that gives
you more options and that the least make your defense
more great better to make your offensive capability worth righting.
But some he punches you, you can shoot you out of
this guy and say, you know what, before I totally
destroy your country, you know, we might want to let's
(06:06):
think about this or right. Yeah, so it's yeah, so
it really is, no.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Question, no question, it's worth the price this threat from space.
The difference and that's the difference between iron Dome and
golden dome. This would protect us because going back to Kennedy,
he got it. You know, if you think it's important
to control c and air and ground, guess what. Somebody's
going to control space And that's the ultimate play. How
(06:33):
will this do that? And I know we only have
two minutes left, so just kind of give the lowdown.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Well, you know the ability, you know, it's it's the
ultimate high ground. So if you're in the space, which
is you know, a frictionless, airless environment, you can look
down and see things and you can interdict them much
more efficiently and effectively. And some of them might be lasers,
some of them might be you know, steel rods and
other things. But it's uh and by the way, it's
(07:00):
perfectly legal under the Outer Space Treaty, despite the Chinese
say they're absolutely wrong. And you know, again it's something
that we've we've talked about for a really long time.
We've advocated for a really long time. But honestly, the
all credit for Donald Trump is doing this. But what
if the Democrats said in response, nothing, you know, as
(07:24):
opposed to when Donald Trump, I mean Reagan provotes this
is a big deal. They camplained everything else. But mostly
Democrats supports us because they know it's feasible, they know
it's it's totally doable. It's actually strategically stabilizing, and the
cost is well within reaching.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Well, if you and if you think being world police
and the expense of wars and interest around the world,
this will prevent a lot of wars.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Well, it'll certainly make American military power more respected by
our friends and our enemies, and I do think that's
a stabilizing force in the world.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Does any if we achieve this, where does this rank
Jim in terms of the space right? I mean, would
we be the first to have this ability? And how
far behind would China and Russia Bee and all that?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
This would be like when the United States got the
first atomic bomb. It's that much of a game. Children now, look,
other countries will probably develop similar capabilities, and we're kind
of fine with that. The purpose of creating missile defense
is not to use to start wars, it's to prevent them.
So if other countries wanted to play similar capabilities, you
know what, that's the first of all, it's going to happen.
(08:44):
And second all, actually it will make the world more stable.
And the final thing, I'll say book, nobody should think
this means the end of war for you, American Untory Speranci.
It's not the way it works. You know, No matter
how much missile defense we have, some Yahoo is going
to go and shoot to wish kids in the front
of the museum if he wants to, right, right, So,
people are going to find evil. People are going to
(09:05):
find a way to do evil. Never dismiss that. But
this significantly lowers the threshold for nuclear war. It significantly
lowers the likelihood, I mean, he lowers the potential for war,
significantly lowers the potential for something like a pearl harbor.
It definitely enhances all of our military capability and the
(09:28):
technology technology that we advance from this. Like all times
we advance, military technology is going to spill off in
other things as well. And the price is reasonable, and
and and the thing about it is, we're not building
this at the expense of the defense budget, like this
is built into the defense budget, so we're not getting
rid of aircraft carriers or the army or the Air
Force to do this. This is on top and part
(09:49):
is because some recognizes piece restraints, but also because he's
going to eliminate eliminating the fraudways and abuse in the
defense budget, which is money you can pull back into
doing necessary things like your choice. It's your choice. You
can have all the drag queen shows you want. Well,
you can have a missile defense of somebody you want.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
And for all of debt we've saddled our children and
grandchildren with, this may be the wisest money we've ever
spent to protect them. Thank you so much. I know
you're busy abroad. It's your morning show with Michael Delcho.
Why am I a good mood? That big, beautiful bill
is headed to the Senate. It ended up passing two
fifteen to two fourteen. Not a single Democrat voted yea.
(10:33):
It does beg the question are they just partisan politicians
voting for their party or are they really representing constituents
and American people? Because we just see this over and
over again. Zero Democrat support. Two Republicans did vote nay,
(10:54):
and probably for very good reason, with concerns of the debt.
Now for the arm twisting, it seemed to be because
one Republican just voted President, you're not gonna get meet,
You're not gonna blame me for this failing. They get
me voted out of office, and then two didn't vote.
So those three potentially could have toppled this bill, but
(11:17):
they didn't. So obviously Donald Trump's visit paid off in
that respect, So it narrowly leaves the House. Now, remember
they separated out the no tax on tips, but for
the no tax on overtime, for the what I would
call triple taxation, but removing the tax on social security
that's in the big beautiful bill that's now headed to
(11:38):
the Senate. Meanwhile, talk about another uncomfortable moment in the
Oval office, President Trump confronted the President of South Africa
over allegations of genocide. Mark Mayfield has more.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Wednesday, with reporters and President Cyril Ramaposa present in the
Oval office, Trump played video clips that he says proves
there is genocide against white africaners. Ramo Posa has denied
the other GUS telling Trump there was a minority party
behind the tensions between blacks and whites. He went on
to stress that he wants to sit down and talk
about the issue. South Africa native Elon Usks being an
outspoken critic of the current government and was attending the meeting.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I think it was Martha and Fox who said, you
just can't walk into that Oval office and think you're
going to get the Joe Biden or presidential soft treatment.
You got to enter the Oval office like you're in
a deposition, like you're entering a debate. Here's how it sounded.
(12:34):
The South African president trying to downplay and say everything's okay,
and Trump didn't let him off the hook.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
We in nineteen fifty five a document which said, so
Africa cup belongs to poor relat But.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Why wouldn't you arrest that man?
Speaker 6 (12:49):
That man said kill the white farmers, kill the white farmers,
and then he danced, and he's dancing dancing and has
killed the white farmers.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I think I'm not sure, but I think.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
If somebody got up in Parliament and started saying kill
a certain group of people, that he would be in
he would be arrested very quickly. That man is going
all over South Africa. And that's not a small party.
That was a stadium that holds one hundred thousand people,
and I hardly saw an emptyc That's a lot of people.
(13:21):
That's a lot of representation. And those crosses. We have
dead white people, dead white farmers mostly. And you take
a look at Australia, they're being inundated and whipping innundated
with people that want to get out. And if farmer
is valueless, it's valueless and they just want to get
(13:41):
out with their life. And this is a very serious situation.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
President Trump holding the South African President Libel all right,
Rapper Kid cutting I say that like I know who
it is. He's the next witness to take the stand
in the Diddy trial. Get Cutty, who's real is?
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Scott Muscutty will be questioned about dating the music mogul's
ex girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Cassie has already testified that Combs,
in a jealous rage, told her he wanted to blow
up Cutty's car. Misscutty is expected to testify that his
car was firebombed after that. Meantime, Combe's former personal assistant
(14:21):
George Kaplan testified Wednesday that part of his job was
protecting Diddy's image, which included buying drugs for him on
two occasions and removing the liquor bottles and baby oil
from hotel rooms before check out.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I'm Sarah Lee Kessler. Where we thought just the lyrics,
we're the worst part of this. These people are really
living this to privity. United Healthcare Group stock lost five
point eight percent of market value at close yesterday on
the news the company secretly paid nursing homes to cut
down on hospital transfers. Tabby Trijhello has more.
Speaker 8 (14:57):
News was reported by The Guardian, which looked at corporate
and patient records, court files, interviews, and whistleblower allegations. The
practice allegedly saved the company millions but risk the health
of patients. United Health denied the allegations, noting the Justice
Department conducted a lengthy investigation and decided not to pursue
the matter. I'm Tammy Truhio.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Oklahoma City thunder point guard Shay gilgiois Alexander your NBA
most valuable player and SGA said he didn't earn it alone.
Gave credit to his teammates.
Speaker 2 (15:29):

mean that. And without this, without you, guys, sorry, none
of this would be possible. And I want you guys

Speaker 1 (15:45):
And the MVP and the Thunder will be back on
the hardwood tonight. They lead one game to nothing in
the Western Conference Final. Game two against the Timberwolves is tonight.
Last night, Pacers took Game one on the road. That's
a big win in overtime, one thirty five over the Knicks.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
My name is Joey from Goodyer, Arizona, and my morning
show is Your Morning Show with Michael del Jorna.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Hi, It's Michael. Your Morning show can be heard on
great radio stations across the country, like News Talk ninety
two point one and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee,
or thirteen hundred The Patriot in Tulsa, or Talk six
fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. We invite you to listen
live while you're getting ready in the morning to take
us along for the drive to work, but as we
always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining us
(16:37):
for the podcast. Two Israeli embassy staff members shot and
killed in a senseless murder and pro Palestinian political statement
last night, two beautiful young people who were about to
be engaged coming out of the Jewish Museum just and
(17:00):
I keep reminding everybody, you know, at some point you
got to do something. And so the only thing I
can do to help take the ache out of my
heart is pray for their family and this tremendous loss.
These two individuals deserve to get married, have a life,
or these children. It was just absolutely senseless. Red said
something earlier, although it is shockingly true. I just can't
(17:21):
bring myself to get to there yet. But it is
funny every time it's a pro pro Palestinian motive. Nobody's
worried about guns. It all depends on who gets shot
and for what reason. And it seems that's the shallowness
of the ignorance of evil and what really kills, because
(17:47):
guns never just get up, get in a car and
go kill somebody on their own. The House passing the
big beautiful bill for the President two fifteen two fourteen yes,
that's narrow, and it was thanks to one republic Looking
who just voted president and two who didn't vote because
I suspect by making that statement, they weren't necessarily yea's,
(18:07):
they were nays. Two Republicans did vote nay. Not a
single Democrat voted YEA on this, so straight on party
line and some arm twisting from the President certainly made
the difference. And we talked about this one earlier. You'll
(18:30):
never see anybody with a presidential approval rating over fifty percent.
Fifty two to fifty three. That's the new ninety, that's
the new high eighties. There are very few things in
life that you can get seven out of ten Americans
to agree on in the matrix. We now live so
much at misinformation, so much ignorance, so much blind partisanship,
(18:52):
so much Trump arrangement. It's just the way these numbers flow.
So I can't emphasize enough that if seventy two percent
of the American people in a poll say that the
cover up of a Joe Biden presidential decline and or
fake presidency is a serious scandal, that's like saying this
(19:13):
is one of the biggest scandals in American political history,
and it is so the seventy two is very significant.
White House officials concealing the president's cognitive impairment, does that
(19:34):
constitute a serious scandal? Seventy two percent said yes, Forty
eight percent of the seventy two percent and nearly half
of the country considerate a very serious scandal, and just
twenty three percent don't think the cover up of Biden's
condition was very serious at all. And we said, we'd
(19:55):
love to talk to who could that possibly be other
people that pulled off the scam they had up to.
I mean, this is the biggest scandal in American political
history when you think of what the left portrayed January sixth,
that is being a threat to democracy, what's weaponizing COVID
(20:17):
to destroy a presidency, what's stealing an election? And what's
faking a presidency? The democracy? And there were two that
did not come out unscathed. One is the Democrat Party
and the other is the medium. In fact, sixty three
(20:41):
percent of voters believe it's likely that the major media
journalists were aware of Biden's declining mental condition. Well, I
think when you went sixty three days before a news conference,
and when you never ever really asked any tough questions
but played soft ball with him. Of course they knew.
(21:04):
Everybody knows they knew. Look, how did they get him
in office? The shadow campaign was, we control the narrative
the media because we're in arm of the Democrat Party.
We silence any opposition thought because we control social media,
We weaponize COVID, we change election laws without going through legislatures,
(21:26):
and we steal the election in swing cities, swing precinct,
swing districts, which is exactly what they did. And if
you thought he was bad telling you about the hair
and his legs and corn pop, his decline was pretty quick.
By the end of his first year of his presidency,
(21:46):
he was incapable, and they cover that up. It's all
one big story that reveals the corruption of this party.
But if you and following it, you would have known
it all along. Because Bernie Sanders would have been the
nominee in twenty sixteen, but the party rigged it for
Hillary and lost. Bernie Sanders would have been the nominee
(22:12):
in twenty twenty, but the party rigged it for Joe Biden.
Then they made sure he secured all of his primary votes,
and then they rigged it for Kamala and lost. So
who is the We all know everybody sees the scandal
for what it is. They see the media for what
(22:33):
they were, shills and accomplices. What's the future of the
Democrat Party and what's the future of the media. Well,
the media, I say, is already dead and decomposing. But
I suspect this is irreparable for the Democrat Party. So
it begs the question, what is the future of the
Democrat Party. Well, the immediate future is AOC. It's interesting.
(22:58):
We covered this very early in the show, so I
don't want to be too repetitious for those that are
listening to the podcast. But veteran Democrat Party strategist James Carvell,
who was the mastermind of Bill Clinton and this party's
unrecognizable from Bill Clinton, let alone JFK. He was so
anti AOC, so anti Jasmine Crockett, so anti squad. A
(23:23):
week ago it was shut up and leave the party.
Now suddenly he's embracing AOC that in and of itself
is something to consume and digest. And his suggestion is, well, yeah,
if she's the party, I'll support it, which led to
(23:44):
our next story, which is she is the face of
the party already. Now remember this far left socialist justice
portion of the party. Their goal is to target other
Democrats because their goals to take over the party, then
remove the electoral College, and then dismantled the Republic. So
this whole Biden scandal that blows up in the face
(24:07):
of the DNC and the establishment. This paves the way
for their victory. But like a parasite, if they win
and kill the host, the host dies and they die
with it. They don't get that yet. When I saw
Bernie Sanders passing the torch to AOC, because I was
alive in twenty twenty, and I was alive in twenty sixteen,
(24:31):
and I'm alive now, I would tell you AOC is
going to get the nomination unless the party does something
to stop it, which was laughable in the Carvel interview
when he said, oh, Paul's media, the party is not
going to pick the next nominee. The people will. Well,
they did in twenty sixteen. How'd that work because Bernie
(24:53):
didn't get it? They didn't twenty twenty. How that work
because Bernie didn't get it? They did it in twenty
twenty four with Kamala. How'd that work. You're so I
can't believe your eyes aren't more brown. But in the
latest poll, this is a coefficient survey conducted May seventh
through the ninth, twenty six percent identified AOC as the
(25:18):
face of the Democrat Party. Do you know what tied
her as the face of the party? No? One, twenty
six percent. What came in third? Other twenty two percent?
To get to a human, actual human being, name you go?
(25:39):
Twenty six percent, AOC all the way down to eight percent,
and guess who it is? Jasmine Crockett, Texas the new
loan we documented on the show. AOC passed the torch
to Crockett. She's now at second. Bernie passed the church
(26:01):
to her. She's now in first for the presidency. And
you probably thought I was crazy when I said it.
Now it's a reality. Oh where's Mama La Kamala? She's
down at six percent, Pete Bodages is at five percent.
Hajeen Jeffries is at five percent. Corey Booker always looking
at his phone, is at four percent. And I gotta
admit I'm a little shocked. Gavin Newsom. I mean, most
(26:24):
people reasonably would say Gavin Newsom from the failed state
of California, which will be uncomfortable, and Shapiro in Pennsylvania
probably their two best candidates. Some would even throw in
the governor of Maryland. No, Gavin Newsom's at two percent
AOC is the runaway face of the party. She will
(26:45):
be the early leader in the presidential race. Oh, by
the way, if you're a conservative woman, you're probably a
handmaiden to the patriarchy. This, according to Hillary Clinton, from
deplorables to handmaiden.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Just like that.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Hillary can never resist the temptation to insult and berate
those who don't think like her. These leftists are the
most intolerant people on the face of the earth. First deplorable.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Now this.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
With one broad stroke, Hillary Clinton called all conservative women
handmaidens and remarks in an event in New York City. Well,
first of all, don't be a handmaiden to the patriarchy,
which kind of eliminates every woman on the Republican side
(27:48):
of the aisle except for a very few, said Hillary Clinton.
If a woman runs who I think would be a
good president, as I thought Kamala Harris would be, well,
there goes all credibility. Clinton's comments revealed a bizarre strategy
on the political leaf to bash anyone who thinks differently
(28:10):
than they do, and then act surprised and play the
victim when the same people you berated don't support you.
There's no way to divide your way to unity and
a party that's in the midst of a civil war
that AOC has already won. This is your Morning Show
(28:33):
with Michael del Chrona. You know, Catherine just wrote and
said I'm not married to anybody who's handmaid to mine.
I mean, this all coming from Hillary Clinton to stand
by your cheating man when her husband was president, past
right wing conspiracy I mean, and then that begs the question,
you know what's most insulting? What Hillary said her new
deplorable handmaiden or James Call me on with Steve Colbert,
(28:57):
listen to this. You'd have to be born yesterday to
buy this nonsense.
Speaker 9 (29:00):
Beach, what happened You walking on the beach and you
saw this on the beach? Yeah, My wife and I, Patrice,
were walking on the beach and saw those numbers in
shells on the beach.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
And you didn't do that.
Speaker 9 (29:10):
Somebody else did this, Yeah, somebody else did it. We
were on a walk preparing for this week I roll
out of my book. She looked at it and said,
why'd someone put their address in the sands?
Speaker 3 (29:18):
All right?
Speaker 9 (29:20):
I stood at it, trying to look at it, trying
to figure ot what it was. And she'd long been
a server in restaurants, and she said, you know what
I think it is.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
I think it's a reference to restaurants when you had
eighty six something in a restaurant, right, it's.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Off the menu. Yeah, I said, not any former FBI
director of course, says no, I don't think so.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
I remember I was a kid. You'd say eighty six
to get out of a place. This place stinks, so
it's eighty six. I was a bartender. You would eighty
six a customer if they were getting drunk, like, that's
eighty six on this like give them a low proof
alcohol or something like that.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (29:47):
And so I said, I think it's a clever political message,
and she said you should take a picture of it.
I said sure, and then she said you should instagram
that and boom, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Just a victim. FBI director doesn't know eighty six is?
I guess this is insulting to us and embarrassing to himself.
And we were all born yesterday. All right, this is
kind of stuff that aggravates me. So take me to
the happiest place in the world. Where can I go
and be happy and get away from all this.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
That's exactly why I keep on bringing up these topics
because they aggravate you.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
So the world.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
Rankings show that Copenhagen, Denmark is top.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Stop. Tell Rory what I picked Copenhagen. Speak into your
microphone for crying out loud that ran or me. You
picked a new work, I thought, No, I picked Copenhagen.
What was your pick? I forgot? Now you went with
Scandinavian countries, Scandinavian countries in general. Yeah, I went with Copenhagen,
(30:46):
So I nailed it. Why Copenhagen. It's flat and everyone
is on a bicycle, and they're all tall. You're not
frustrated by you know, people standing in front of them,
and they can get items from the top shelf and
they easily decorate their homes.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
At Christmas because they're tall. Zurich, Switzerland also number two.
Singapore comes in at number three, na Host Denmark, and Antwerp,
Belgium also from the top five. Now those are the
global leaders. They rank two hundred cities, ranking the highest
among American cities because it's known for its happy, happy,
happy people. Number seventeen. New York City, Well, I'm happy.
(31:24):
Let me tell you them. There's two places I don't
I don't know what the criteria.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
For this is. I'm going to ask in a second, sure,
but I am it's going to strike you very odd.
I am very happy when I'm in New York City,
and they're completely different, and I'm very happy when I'm
in Pitcheon Forde, Gatlinburg, which seemed like polar opposites of
each other. But it's just something. I get there and
it is well with my soul, and I am home
(31:49):
and I am at peace. But it begs the question,
you know, what's the criteria? Because you know what's making
somebody happy in Copenhagen today, Maybe I get there and
I'm not happy.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
By the way, Nashville number ninety six on the list
of the world's two hundred soty quite respectable. It's above
San Jose, California, Boston and Orlando, and Phoenix and Houston.
But as far as criteria they put together, it's funny.
Someone I was talking to earlier said, is this because
they have stuff that should make you happy, or is
it that they're actually happy?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
The drugs, Yeah, good question. Well no, not even that.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
It's the Oh they have an education system that promotes
equality and everyone gets to have full employment. And the
good government, good urban management, is good environmental policies, strong economies,
with the number of new businesses being created, access to healthcare,
mental healthcare as well. Mobility is a factor. Is there
(32:45):
good mass transit? Is that mass transit accessible for everyone,
even with disabilities. So again it's ticking the box for
things that should make you happy.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
But are they actually happy? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Yeah, have you ever been to Copenhagen? I have a
couple of times, And did it strike you as a.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Well, it's funny because it's a very rainy, gray place
for the most part, allows you weather but flat, which
is good and everyone really does go around on bicycles.
Beautiful place, great architecture, you know, but it's a lot
of government taxes, pay for a lot of government programs.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, nice place to visit. Wouldn't want to live there.
Rory with the happiest places, I'm gonna stick with ninety
nine on the list. Middle Tennessee Nashville. All right, great
reporting today. Rory will be back again tomorrow, God bless you.
My friend will talk then for the rest of you, well,
the big beautiful Bill is on its way to the
Senate fingers crossed. Go out there and realize one you

Del Jorno.
Hey, gang, it's me Michael. You can listen to your
morning show live. Make us a part of your morning

six fifty KSTE and Sacramento, California. Love to have you
(00:21):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the
podcast Enjoy.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Well two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
This is your morning show with Michael Gill charm. My
dad always said, Michael, just sensitive. I'm feeling it today.
Two Israeli embassy staff members are dead and I can't
get either of them off my mind. You know, sometimes
you just got to take an action. And the action
is people of faith out there be praying for their
(00:57):
mothers and fathers, for their brothers and sis and their
family and friends. Just a senseless murder in our nation's
capital last night. The Big Beautiful Bill has passed the
House narrowly two fifteen two fourteen it's headed at the
Senate and the thunders SGA named NBA MVP, good morning
(01:17):
and welcome to Thursday made the twenty second. Al Right,
I guess what Budapest? Are you going to make a guess?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
That's I was going to go with hungry, Hungry read
you want to make a guess? Kazakhstan costics don Lieutenant
Colonel James Carafano a world away joining us this morning
from where.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Bucharest in Romanian.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Oh, I said, Budapest, that was so close you.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Were seeing you were you went? You're like when country off?
You know? Not right?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
So obviously the big question is a.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Game wordle game, right, it is.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I want to I want to die. I don't believe
in reincarnation, but if I did, I want to come
back your miles, your airline miles. All right. So Israel
has the Iron Dome. Donald Trump wants the Golden Dolome.
Ronald Reagan wanted Star Wars. How is Golden Dome different
from Iron Dome and Star Wars? Isn't it worth the price?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Well? Actually it's it's it's in some ways more sophisticated
than Star Wars. Star Wars was the original conception which
was space based interceptors really designed it to deal with
ballistic missiles, but the contemporary threats ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles,
cruise missiles, and drones. And so this is actually a
much more ambitious program in some ways, but a lot
(02:38):
less than others. I mean, when when a lot of
reagans proposed star Wars, but the technology to actually do
that did not exist. I mean, it fundamentally comes down
like hitting a bullet with a bullet. Right. You basically
take anything that's flying relatively in any aerodynamic structure needs
(03:08):
you know, structural stability in order to fly, and all
you have to do is take that away, and the
thing is going to fall apart and fall down. You
don't have to blow it up. You just have to
punch a hole in it or dent it. And so
that's the idea of hitting a bullet with a bullet,
and this is the technology to do this is really
(03:29):
not a question. The cost of it's actually pretty reasonable
because people completely misinterpret costs of Go, oh my god,
an aircraft Caurier, you know, costs x billion dollars. When
you look at defense, it's just like when you look
at insurance, it's not what it costs you. It's the
(03:49):
value of what you are protecting. And when you look
at the American economy, touring for a million, multi trillion
dollars of dollars dollars of infrastructure and everything else, the
the ability to protect that twenty five billions actually cheat
And more importantly, what this really is that is is
you know, people wrap their heads on this. They said, well,
(04:12):
we're protecting the homeland. What we're really doing is protecting
the ability of the United States to go out in
the world and do things and to people who take
our nuclear things seriously. It's called the offense defense mix.
You know, if you can punch a guy in the face, okay,
that's a threat. But if you can take a punch
and not get hurt, well, then you're superman, right. And
(04:33):
that's the idea of the offense defense mix, which enables
not only does it empower your ability to defend yourself,
it greatly empowers your ability to not be threatened by
other countries. Say well, if you don't do what I said,
it's going to blow you up.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I love a given missile crisis.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
The I was there, I did not love it.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
It was no no, no, I know you were there,
but the Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was basically, I
mean the military was up in arms. Sorry, that's it.
Let's go blow these up and let's go, you know, invade,
invade Cuba. But you know what the Secretary of State
was conveying to President Kennedy was, this is first strike capability.
This is massively destabilizing. Because you had nothing to block
(05:17):
the punch and no time to block the punch. It
was massively destabilizing to offense. That's that offense defense that
you're trying to explain.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
So it's not just what essentially yeah, right, well, actually
what you have done was risk war to get rid
of a threat. And what we actually did not know
at the time is they actually had tactical nuclear warheads
in Cuba that they could have fired us if they
were attacked. So it was it was extremely dangerous. So
you're right. So the point about Iron Dome and these
(05:46):
other things is if you can defend yourself, that gives
you more options and that the least make your defense
more great better to make your offensive capability worth righting.
But some he punches you, you can shoot you out of
this guy and say, you know what, before I totally
destroy your country, you know, we might want to let's
(06:06):
think about this or right. Yeah, so it's yeah, so
it really is, no.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Question, no question, it's worth the price this threat from space.
The difference and that's the difference between iron Dome and
golden dome. This would protect us because going back to Kennedy,
he got it. You know, if you think it's important
to control c and air and ground, guess what. Somebody's
going to control space And that's the ultimate play. How
(06:33):
will this do that? And I know we only have
two minutes left, so just kind of give the lowdown.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Well, you know the ability, you know, it's it's the
ultimate high ground. So if you're in the space, which
is you know, a frictionless, airless environment, you can look
down and see things and you can interdict them much
more efficiently and effectively. And some of them might be lasers,
some of them might be you know, steel rods and
other things. But it's uh and by the way, it's
(07:00):
perfectly legal under the Outer Space Treaty, despite the Chinese
say they're absolutely wrong. And you know, again it's something
that we've we've talked about for a really long time.
We've advocated for a really long time. But honestly, the
all credit for Donald Trump is doing this. But what
if the Democrats said in response, nothing, you know, as
(07:24):
opposed to when Donald Trump, I mean Reagan provotes this
is a big deal. They camplained everything else. But mostly
Democrats supports us because they know it's feasible, they know
it's it's totally doable. It's actually strategically stabilizing, and the
cost is well within reaching.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Well, if you and if you think being world police
and the expense of wars and interest around the world,
this will prevent a lot of wars.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Well, it'll certainly make American military power more respected by
our friends and our enemies, and I do think that's
a stabilizing force in the world.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Does any if we achieve this, where does this rank
Jim in terms of the space right? I mean, would
we be the first to have this ability? And how
far behind would China and Russia Bee and all that?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
This would be like when the United States got the
first atomic bomb. It's that much of a game. Children now, look,
other countries will probably develop similar capabilities, and we're kind
of fine with that. The purpose of creating missile defense
is not to use to start wars, it's to prevent them.
So if other countries wanted to play similar capabilities, you
know what, that's the first of all, it's going to happen.
(08:44):
And second all, actually it will make the world more stable.
And the final thing, I'll say book, nobody should think
this means the end of war for you, American Untory Speranci.
It's not the way it works. You know, No matter
how much missile defense we have, some Yahoo is going
to go and shoot to wish kids in the front
of the museum if he wants to, right, right, So,
people are going to find evil. People are going to
(09:05):
find a way to do evil. Never dismiss that. But
this significantly lowers the threshold for nuclear war. It significantly
lowers the likelihood, I mean, he lowers the potential for war,
significantly lowers the potential for something like a pearl harbor.
It definitely enhances all of our military capability and the
(09:28):
technology technology that we advance from this. Like all times
we advance, military technology is going to spill off in
other things as well. And the price is reasonable, and
and and the thing about it is, we're not building
this at the expense of the defense budget, like this
is built into the defense budget, so we're not getting
rid of aircraft carriers or the army or the Air
Force to do this. This is on top and part
(09:49):
is because some recognizes piece restraints, but also because he's
going to eliminate eliminating the fraudways and abuse in the
defense budget, which is money you can pull back into
doing necessary things like your choice. It's your choice. You
can have all the drag queen shows you want. Well,
you can have a missile defense of somebody you want.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
And for all of debt we've saddled our children and
grandchildren with, this may be the wisest money we've ever
spent to protect them. Thank you so much. I know
you're busy abroad. It's your morning show with Michael Delcho.
Why am I a good mood? That big, beautiful bill
is headed to the Senate. It ended up passing two
fifteen to two fourteen. Not a single Democrat voted yea.
(10:33):
It does beg the question are they just partisan politicians
voting for their party or are they really representing constituents
and American people? Because we just see this over and
over again. Zero Democrat support. Two Republicans did vote nay,
(10:54):
and probably for very good reason, with concerns of the debt.
Now for the arm twisting, it seemed to be because
one Republican just voted President, you're not gonna get meet,
You're not gonna blame me for this failing. They get
me voted out of office, and then two didn't vote.
So those three potentially could have toppled this bill, but
(11:17):
they didn't. So obviously Donald Trump's visit paid off in
that respect, So it narrowly leaves the House. Now, remember
they separated out the no tax on tips, but for
the no tax on overtime, for the what I would
call triple taxation, but removing the tax on social security
that's in the big beautiful bill that's now headed to
(11:38):
the Senate. Meanwhile, talk about another uncomfortable moment in the
Oval office, President Trump confronted the President of South Africa
over allegations of genocide. Mark Mayfield has more.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Wednesday, with reporters and President Cyril Ramaposa present in the
Oval office, Trump played video clips that he says proves
there is genocide against white africaners. Ramo Posa has denied
the other GUS telling Trump there was a minority party
behind the tensions between blacks and whites. He went on
to stress that he wants to sit down and talk
about the issue. South Africa native Elon Usks being an
outspoken critic of the current government and was attending the meeting.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I think it was Martha and Fox who said, you
just can't walk into that Oval office and think you're
going to get the Joe Biden or presidential soft treatment.
You got to enter the Oval office like you're in
a deposition, like you're entering a debate. Here's how it sounded.
(12:34):
The South African president trying to downplay and say everything's okay,
and Trump didn't let him off the hook.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
We in nineteen fifty five a document which said, so
Africa cup belongs to poor relat But.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Why wouldn't you arrest that man?
Speaker 6 (12:49):
That man said kill the white farmers, kill the white farmers,
and then he danced, and he's dancing dancing and has
killed the white farmers.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I think I'm not sure, but I think.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
If somebody got up in Parliament and started saying kill
a certain group of people, that he would be in
he would be arrested very quickly. That man is going
all over South Africa. And that's not a small party.
That was a stadium that holds one hundred thousand people,
and I hardly saw an emptyc That's a lot of people.
(13:21):
That's a lot of representation. And those crosses. We have
dead white people, dead white farmers mostly. And you take
a look at Australia, they're being inundated and whipping innundated
with people that want to get out. And if farmer
is valueless, it's valueless and they just want to get
(13:41):
out with their life. And this is a very serious situation.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
President Trump holding the South African President Libel all right,
Rapper Kid cutting I say that like I know who
it is. He's the next witness to take the stand
in the Diddy trial. Get Cutty, who's real is?
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Scott Muscutty will be questioned about dating the music mogul's
ex girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Cassie has already testified that Combs,
in a jealous rage, told her he wanted to blow
up Cutty's car. Misscutty is expected to testify that his
car was firebombed after that. Meantime, Combe's former personal assistant
(14:21):
George Kaplan testified Wednesday that part of his job was
protecting Diddy's image, which included buying drugs for him on
two occasions and removing the liquor bottles and baby oil
from hotel rooms before check out.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I'm Sarah Lee Kessler. Where we thought just the lyrics,
we're the worst part of this. These people are really
living this to privity. United Healthcare Group stock lost five
point eight percent of market value at close yesterday on
the news the company secretly paid nursing homes to cut
down on hospital transfers. Tabby Trijhello has more.
Speaker 8 (14:57):
News was reported by The Guardian, which looked at corporate
and patient records, court files, interviews, and whistleblower allegations. The
practice allegedly saved the company millions but risk the health
of patients. United Health denied the allegations, noting the Justice
Department conducted a lengthy investigation and decided not to pursue
the matter. I'm Tammy Truhio.

the Western Conference Final. Game two against the Timberwolves is tonight.
Last night, Pacers took Game one on the road. That's
a big win in overtime, one thirty five over the Knicks.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
My name is Joey from Goodyer, Arizona, and my morning
show is Your Morning Show with Michael del Jorna.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Hi, It's Michael. Your Morning show can be heard on
great radio stations across the country, like News Talk ninety
two point one and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee,
or thirteen hundred The Patriot in Tulsa, or Talk six
fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. We invite you to listen
live while you're getting ready in the morning to take
us along for the drive to work, but as we
always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining us
(16:37):
for the podcast. Two Israeli embassy staff members shot and
killed in a senseless murder and pro Palestinian political statement
last night, two beautiful young people who were about to
be engaged coming out of the Jewish Museum just and
(17:00):
I keep reminding everybody, you know, at some point you
got to do something. And so the only thing I
can do to help take the ache out of my
heart is pray for their family and this tremendous loss.
These two individuals deserve to get married, have a life,
or these children. It was just absolutely senseless. Red said
something earlier, although it is shockingly true. I just can't
(17:21):
bring myself to get to there yet. But it is
funny every time it's a pro pro Palestinian motive. Nobody's
worried about guns. It all depends on who gets shot
and for what reason. And it seems that's the shallowness
of the ignorance of evil and what really kills, because
(17:47):
guns never just get up, get in a car and
go kill somebody on their own. The House passing the
big beautiful bill for the President two fifteen two fourteen yes,
that's narrow, and it was thanks to one republic Looking
who just voted president and two who didn't vote because
I suspect by making that statement, they weren't necessarily yea's,
(18:07):
they were nays. Two Republicans did vote nay. Not a
single Democrat voted YEA on this, so straight on party
line and some arm twisting from the President certainly made
the difference. And we talked about this one earlier. You'll
(18:30):
never see anybody with a presidential approval rating over fifty percent.
Fifty two to fifty three. That's the new ninety, that's
the new high eighties. There are very few things in
life that you can get seven out of ten Americans
to agree on in the matrix. We now live so
much at misinformation, so much ignorance, so much blind partisanship,
(18:52):
so much Trump arrangement. It's just the way these numbers flow.
So I can't emphasize enough that if seventy two percent
of the American people in a poll say that the
cover up of a Joe Biden presidential decline and or
fake presidency is a serious scandal, that's like saying this
(19:13):
is one of the biggest scandals in American political history,
and it is so the seventy two is very significant.
White House officials concealing the president's cognitive impairment, does that
(19:34):
constitute a serious scandal? Seventy two percent said yes, Forty
eight percent of the seventy two percent and nearly half
of the country considerate a very serious scandal, and just
twenty three percent don't think the cover up of Biden's
condition was very serious at all. And we said, we'd
(19:55):
love to talk to who could that possibly be other
people that pulled off the scam they had up to.
I mean, this is the biggest scandal in American political
history when you think of what the left portrayed January sixth,
that is being a threat to democracy, what's weaponizing COVID
(20:17):
to destroy a presidency, what's stealing an election? And what's
faking a presidency? The democracy? And there were two that
did not come out unscathed. One is the Democrat Party
and the other is the medium. In fact, sixty three
(20:41):
percent of voters believe it's likely that the major media
journalists were aware of Biden's declining mental condition. Well, I
think when you went sixty three days before a news conference,
and when you never ever really asked any tough questions
but played soft ball with him. Of course they knew.
(21:04):
Everybody knows they knew. Look, how did they get him
in office? The shadow campaign was, we control the narrative
the media because we're in arm of the Democrat Party.
We silence any opposition thought because we control social media,
We weaponize COVID, we change election laws without going through legislatures,
(21:26):
and we steal the election in swing cities, swing precinct,
swing districts, which is exactly what they did. And if
you thought he was bad telling you about the hair
and his legs and corn pop, his decline was pretty quick.
By the end of his first year of his presidency,
(21:46):
he was incapable, and they cover that up. It's all
one big story that reveals the corruption of this party.
But if you and following it, you would have known
it all along. Because Bernie Sanders would have been the
nominee in twenty sixteen, but the party rigged it for
Hillary and lost. Bernie Sanders would have been the nominee
(22:12):
in twenty twenty, but the party rigged it for Joe Biden.
Then they made sure he secured all of his primary votes,
and then they rigged it for Kamala and lost. So
who is the We all know everybody sees the scandal
for what it is. They see the media for what
(22:33):
they were, shills and accomplices. What's the future of the
Democrat Party and what's the future of the media. Well,
the media, I say, is already dead and decomposing. But
I suspect this is irreparable for the Democrat Party. So
it begs the question, what is the future of the
Democrat Party. Well, the immediate future is AOC. It's interesting.
(22:58):
We covered this very early in the show, so I
don't want to be too repetitious for those that are
listening to the podcast. But veteran Democrat Party strategist James Carvell,
who was the mastermind of Bill Clinton and this party's
unrecognizable from Bill Clinton, let alone JFK. He was so
anti AOC, so anti Jasmine Crockett, so anti squad. A
(23:23):
week ago it was shut up and leave the party.
Now suddenly he's embracing AOC that in and of itself
is something to consume and digest. And his suggestion is, well, yeah,
if she's the party, I'll support it, which led to
(23:44):
our next story, which is she is the face of
the party already. Now remember this far left socialist justice
portion of the party. Their goal is to target other
Democrats because their goals to take over the party, then
remove the electoral College, and then dismantled the Republic. So
this whole Biden scandal that blows up in the face
(24:07):
of the DNC and the establishment. This paves the way
for their victory. But like a parasite, if they win
and kill the host, the host dies and they die
with it. They don't get that yet. When I saw
Bernie Sanders passing the torch to AOC, because I was
alive in twenty twenty, and I was alive in twenty sixteen,
(24:31):
and I'm alive now, I would tell you AOC is
going to get the nomination unless the party does something
to stop it, which was laughable in the Carvel interview
when he said, oh, Paul's media, the party is not
going to pick the next nominee. The people will. Well,
they did in twenty sixteen. How'd that work because Bernie
(24:53):
didn't get it? They didn't twenty twenty. How that work
because Bernie didn't get it? They did it in twenty
twenty four with Kamala. How'd that work. You're so I
can't believe your eyes aren't more brown. But in the
latest poll, this is a coefficient survey conducted May seventh
through the ninth, twenty six percent identified AOC as the
(25:18):
face of the Democrat Party. Do you know what tied
her as the face of the party? No? One, twenty
six percent. What came in third? Other twenty two percent?
To get to a human, actual human being, name you go?
(25:39):
Twenty six percent, AOC all the way down to eight percent,
and guess who it is? Jasmine Crockett, Texas the new
loan we documented on the show. AOC passed the torch
to Crockett. She's now at second. Bernie passed the church
(26:01):
to her. She's now in first for the presidency. And
you probably thought I was crazy when I said it.
Now it's a reality. Oh where's Mama La Kamala? She's
down at six percent, Pete Bodages is at five percent.
Hajeen Jeffries is at five percent. Corey Booker always looking
at his phone, is at four percent. And I gotta
admit I'm a little shocked. Gavin Newsom. I mean, most
(26:24):
people reasonably would say Gavin Newsom from the failed state
of California, which will be uncomfortable, and Shapiro in Pennsylvania
probably their two best candidates. Some would even throw in
the governor of Maryland. No, Gavin Newsom's at two percent
AOC is the runaway face of the party. She will
(26:45):
be the early leader in the presidential race. Oh, by
the way, if you're a conservative woman, you're probably a
handmaiden to the patriarchy. This, according to Hillary Clinton, from
deplorables to handmaiden.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Just like that.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Hillary can never resist the temptation to insult and berate
those who don't think like her. These leftists are the
most intolerant people on the face of the earth. First deplorable.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Now this.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
With one broad stroke, Hillary Clinton called all conservative women
handmaidens and remarks in an event in New York City. Well,
first of all, don't be a handmaiden to the patriarchy,
which kind of eliminates every woman on the Republican side
(27:48):
of the aisle except for a very few, said Hillary Clinton.
If a woman runs who I think would be a
good president, as I thought Kamala Harris would be, well,
there goes all credibility. Clinton's comments revealed a bizarre strategy
on the political leaf to bash anyone who thinks differently
(28:10):
than they do, and then act surprised and play the
victim when the same people you berated don't support you.
There's no way to divide your way to unity and
a party that's in the midst of a civil war
that AOC has already won. This is your Morning Show
(28:33):
with Michael del Chrona. You know, Catherine just wrote and
said I'm not married to anybody who's handmaid to mine.
I mean, this all coming from Hillary Clinton to stand
by your cheating man when her husband was president, past
right wing conspiracy I mean, and then that begs the question,
you know what's most insulting? What Hillary said her new
deplorable handmaiden or James Call me on with Steve Colbert,
(28:57):
listen to this. You'd have to be born yesterday to
buy this nonsense.
Speaker 9 (29:00):
Beach, what happened You walking on the beach and you
saw this on the beach? Yeah, My wife and I, Patrice,
were walking on the beach and saw those numbers in
shells on the beach.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
And you didn't do that.
Speaker 9 (29:10):
Somebody else did this, Yeah, somebody else did it. We
were on a walk preparing for this week I roll
out of my book. She looked at it and said,
why'd someone put their address in the sands?
Speaker 3 (29:18):
All right?
Speaker 9 (29:20):
I stood at it, trying to look at it, trying
to figure ot what it was. And she'd long been
a server in restaurants, and she said, you know what
I think it is.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
I think it's a reference to restaurants when you had
eighty six something in a restaurant, right, it's.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Off the menu. Yeah, I said, not any former FBI
director of course, says no, I don't think so.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
I remember I was a kid. You'd say eighty six
to get out of a place. This place stinks, so
it's eighty six. I was a bartender. You would eighty
six a customer if they were getting drunk, like, that's
eighty six on this like give them a low proof
alcohol or something like that.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (29:47):
And so I said, I think it's a clever political message,
and she said you should take a picture of it.
I said sure, and then she said you should instagram
that and boom, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Just a victim. FBI director doesn't know eighty six is?
I guess this is insulting to us and embarrassing to himself.
And we were all born yesterday. All right, this is
kind of stuff that aggravates me. So take me to
the happiest place in the world. Where can I go
and be happy and get away from all this.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
That's exactly why I keep on bringing up these topics
because they aggravate you.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
So the world.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
Rankings show that Copenhagen, Denmark is top.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Stop. Tell Rory what I picked Copenhagen. Speak into your
microphone for crying out loud that ran or me. You
picked a new work, I thought, No, I picked Copenhagen.
What was your pick? I forgot? Now you went with
Scandinavian countries, Scandinavian countries in general. Yeah, I went with Copenhagen,
(30:46):
So I nailed it. Why Copenhagen. It's flat and everyone
is on a bicycle, and they're all tall. You're not
frustrated by you know, people standing in front of them,
and they can get items from the top shelf and
they easily decorate their homes.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
At Christmas because they're tall. Zurich, Switzerland also number two.
Singapore comes in at number three, na Host Denmark, and Antwerp,
Belgium also from the top five. Now those are the
global leaders. They rank two hundred cities, ranking the highest
among American cities because it's known for its happy, happy,
happy people. Number seventeen. New York City, Well, I'm happy.
(31:24):
Let me tell you them. There's two places I don't
I don't know what the criteria.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
For this is. I'm going to ask in a second, sure,
but I am it's going to strike you very odd.
I am very happy when I'm in New York City,
and they're completely different, and I'm very happy when I'm
in Pitcheon Forde, Gatlinburg, which seemed like polar opposites of
each other. But it's just something. I get there and
it is well with my soul, and I am home
(31:49):
and I am at peace. But it begs the question,
you know, what's the criteria? Because you know what's making
somebody happy in Copenhagen today, Maybe I get there and
I'm not happy.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
By the way, Nashville number ninety six on the list
of the world's two hundred soty quite respectable. It's above
San Jose, California, Boston and Orlando, and Phoenix and Houston.
But as far as criteria they put together, it's funny.
Someone I was talking to earlier said, is this because
they have stuff that should make you happy, or is
it that they're actually happy?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
The drugs, Yeah, good question. Well no, not even that.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
It's the Oh they have an education system that promotes
equality and everyone gets to have full employment. And the
good government, good urban management, is good environmental policies, strong economies,
with the number of new businesses being created, access to healthcare,
mental healthcare as well. Mobility is a factor. Is there
(32:45):
good mass transit? Is that mass transit accessible for everyone,
even with disabilities. So again it's ticking the box for
things that should make you happy.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
But are they actually happy? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Yeah, have you ever been to Copenhagen? I have a
couple of times, And did it strike you as a.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Well, it's funny because it's a very rainy, gray place
for the most part, allows you weather but flat, which
is good and everyone really does go around on bicycles.
Beautiful place, great architecture, you know, but it's a lot
of government taxes, pay for a lot of government programs.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, nice place to visit. Wouldn't want to live there.
Rory with the happiest places, I'm gonna stick with ninety
nine on the list. Middle Tennessee Nashville. All right, great
reporting today. Rory will be back again tomorrow, God bless you.
My friend will talk then for the rest of you, well,
the big beautiful Bill is on its way to the
Senate fingers crossed. Go out there and realize one you
(33:46):
only get one chance to live this Thursday, May twenty second,
twenty twenty five. It will never come back again. Go
make a difference in someone's life. Make sure you cherish
your own, make the most and live in the moment,
and cherish your time with those you love. We're all
in this together. This is your morning Show with Michael
Del Jorno.
