Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, gang, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live each weekday morning on great radio stations like k
EIB in Los Angeles, WFDF nine ten AM Detroit, Michigan,
the Superstation, and the Rock of Talk sixteen hundred AM
KIVA and Albuquerque, New Mexico. We'd love to have you
listen live every morning. But glad you're here now for
the podcast Enjoyed three.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Because we're in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael O'Dell Troy. I got one eye on the
television screen. I got. I asked the question out a loud,
is there any chance Bernie Sanders is actually a muppet?
Did somebody confirm that that is? And that maybe Juckie
Schumer is perhaps a muppet puppet as well? Been seven

(00:49):
minutes after the hour, up in the balcony and eckled
together in the balcony. Seven after the hour. Welcome to Wednesday, June,
the third year of Our Lord, twenty twenty six. Election
day yesterday, and six states. We're going to run down
some of the numbers. Make a long story short. It
is looking as though it's going to be a Republican
and Democrat runoff both for governor and premier in Los Angeles.

(01:11):
We call it peace time and peace negotiations are going
well as the US and Iran exchanged missile fire in
the Persian golf last night and singer songwriter people Bryce
in his dead at the age of seventy five taking
Game one on the road was Vegas over Carolina and
the NBA Finals tip off tonight in San Antonio Spurs
and the Knicks national correspondent Roy O'Neil is here.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
Rory.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
I guess what would shock people the most waking up
this morning and again we got to do this little
asterix because in California they'll be counting mail in votes
for up to a week. But it is Steve Hilton
in first place with sixty two percent of the votes
being counted one point three million, and Bishera is in
second one point two million, And that's about the same

(01:54):
as it was when it was fifty one percent, So
it continues to track with Hilton leading by one hundred
look like we're headed for a Republican Democrat runoff.

Speaker 5 (02:03):
Right, So whoever the two top vote getters are, they
will be on the ballot this November, and that's the
jungle primary system they have there more than sixty candidates
on the ballot in California for governor alone. So as
you said, Steve Hilton is leading the charge. Also interesting
that Spencer Pratt and the La may All race is
also outperforming some of his earlier polls. So we're seeing

(02:26):
more of a red turnout now, is that because red
districts were counted.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Let's see what finally shakes down.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
But you know, in practical terms, what matters is who's
one and two And in this case, you've got Hilton
and Besera for the governor's race squaring off this November.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Yeah, that's the two issues I think everybody because while
we're on in San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Sacramento,
so we should probably cover California pretty well. But you're
looking at Hilton with one point three million in stire
at nine hundred and thirty four thousand, and that was
with fifty nine percent of the vote. Said that that's

(03:02):
not going to change a lot by county. And then
when you get when you start looking at the mail
in voting, it does lean democratic, and if it does well,
you would presume that that might be split between Steire
and bischeris so I don't think there's any way to
prognosticate Hilton out of this equation. But oh no, yeah,
I'm saying that those two I say you are, but
there are nervous people that are calling in and stuff. Right.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
No, but whether or not they're one or two doesn't
really matter, you know, as long as you just want
to be on the ballot in November. So you just
want to be one or two when all the counting
is done, and to your point, that might take some time.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
You know, it's interesting. I never do this with you,
but just a quick little piece of sound. So the
notion is okay. The ceiling for Mayor Bass seemed a
little higher than most people were talking. There were a lot
of people didn't think she can get above twenty nine percent,
and she certainly did, right, And so the message turned
to Spencer Pratt, Well, all appearances are you're going to

(03:57):
make the runoff, but you know, do you think it's
a really uphill battle once the Democrats all unite against you?
And here was his response, absolutely not.

Speaker 6 (04:06):
I think the next five months is I'm gonna have
time to build out this.

Speaker 7 (04:09):
Team, to show everybody the level of Democratic supporters that.

Speaker 6 (04:14):
Are have behind me, the heavy hitters that are in
this room that are all behind I mean, I think
this idea that I don't represent Democrats and Republicans and independents,
anyone that's just a Los Angeles citizen, the most basic
quality of light, I'll be able to show that him.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
I bring that up rary because if he shines, it's
a great answer. But if he shines in this next
three months the way he shined leading up to last night,
Laser focused on being everyone's mayor, and he does have
a who's who of Hollywood behind him. This guy's got
the celebrity angle going for him. I don't mean from

(04:52):
his reality show. I mean a celebrity candidate. He's like
the hot thing right now. He may have the ultimate
the notion that California made up with a Republican mayor
in Los Angeles and a Republican governor is alive and
well this morning, that's for sure. It's just all it's
a high bar. So yeah, let's see what anything else
in the highlights. I know that we had the guy

(05:12):
tied to al Kaeda back by the squad who won
his I think Trump went like three and one with
people he supported.

Speaker 5 (05:20):
You lost that guy, Yeah, that that Iowa case, Randy Feinstra,
he had endorsed last week but came up short last night.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
I like a point, so it's a tight race.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
Yeah, I think those were the only real headline surprises
that came.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
Out of this. Always going to be back in the
third hour, we're gonna talk a little bit more about
a new study it's out analyzes how much the war
in Iran is costing the US households. And again, you know,
anytime you're dealing with the Middle East. First of all,
I'm laser focused when you're in the Middle East, that
you're in the epicenter of the world, and you're in
the epicenter of our time, all time and maybe the

(05:55):
return of God. All right, so there are other implications.
But yes, you are dealing with energy, and that's why
America has spent so much time trying to be energy
independent or at least not dependent on enemies for our energy,
which we've done a pretty good job against most left opposition.
But yeah, you know, you can you know, gas prices

(06:17):
go up, everything goes up. It makes the vote go around,
the vote go around. So but we'll look at some
of the analysis of those costs coming up with Rory
in the third hour. All right, I got calls to
get in, and I want to make one more point.
We've got at least get the calls right. It's called
your morning show, not mine. Can't have your morning show
without your voice to the talk back line will start.

(06:39):
If you're listening on the iHeartRadio app, you'll see a microphone.
If you press it, it gives you thirty seconds to
make a common or ask a question. Because we think
talk radio should be a conversation. Again, enough of the pontificating.
Let's hear and let's understand together, and let's solve together,
or as this wacky Wednesday unfolds, laugh together. Let's start
with Big John. I think he's nervous as a buddy

(07:01):
and Poughkeepsie. Don't get me wrong, Big John is nervous
about this Nick series. If we could just steal one
game out there, that would be tremendous. Well, that's what
yeah bang, that's what Vegas did last night in Raleigh.
That's the key and that's the goal for the Knicks.
When one of these on the road in San Antonio.

(07:22):
San Antonio can get hot with threes. They have a superstar,
as you know, and they're kind of a two headed
monster with streaky threes. That that will be what you'll
have to stop. Nobody plays team basketball like the Knicks.
But let's see if they're rusty from sitting out. Next
up is another John, this time Youngstown Michael.

Speaker 8 (07:43):
That was an excellent pilot over the intercom imitation.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
But here comes mine. I that I do that with
Jeff all the time. That's the sleepy pilot is just

(08:07):
mailing it. Louis lips. Does he brother finish words or
pronounces a bit? There is always that And I say,
what what did you say? I did tell you that story.
We were flying back from a funeral in a private
plane and they all wanted me to do pilot man no,
and so I grab it. And I have to tell
you it was not suitable for radio. The message pilotman

(08:31):
was saying, Aby's cracking up on the plane with their
headsets on, and all of a sudden we hear piper
two seven nine, Uh would you repeat? And apparently, well,
because you have, I was pressing both buttons, so I
was talking to everyone who was laughing, and apparently to
a control tower somewhere as well. And I called that

(08:51):
in between breaks. In between breaks, Yes, Boston had yacht
to go here my kids. Jimmy says, good morning, Brother
God blessed.

Speaker 9 (09:00):
Hey, is this is gonna be a voice takeover?

Speaker 3 (09:03):
No, it's not add which one is it? Brother God blessed? Hey,
I'll be in town Friday. I'll see you again. I
started the show laser focused. I am not responsible for today.
This has turned into a who was that caller's name?
Who was the caller's name that wanted originally to do Pilotman?
That was John John and w KBN. All right, so

(09:23):
it's Youngstown's fault. Youngstown, Ohio is a d D, not
your host. Donna is in Philadelphia.

Speaker 10 (09:29):
Tom Stuyers spent two hundred and thirteen million dollars of
his own wealth running for governor and what did it
get him. It's not about the money, like you said,
it's about outcomes.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yeah, I you know, I don't know how to say
it any more concise than this. There if there was
an open door. They don't have an issue, they don't
have ideas, they don't have a platform, and they don't
have a candidate that can walk through it, and no
amount of money you'll get you there. There is an

(10:05):
anti incumbent referendum that is going to be the theme
of this midterm election, and I got news for you.
It's a bigger problem for the Democrats than the Republicans.
And you saw signs of that last night as well,
Roger and Sacramento, I believe is.

Speaker 11 (10:22):
Last morning, Michael Jeffrin read and Michael, I noticed that
your imitation of me sounds a lot like the imitation
of Red and it reminds me of some of the
comparisons where you wondered if we were ever seen in
the same room at the same time. I know the
first comment that you made about me was I was
pictured as sitting on a couch in the dark with
a blanket and a bottle of bourbon. The second one,

(10:44):
I was came from an ad from Dunkin Donuts.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
Did I really that's so long ago, that's before we
were friends, Roger. Roger and I talked throughout the day
through emails. Did I really start off that bad? Well,
you know, the first thing I ever said my wife
was who's the Indian in the kitchen? It's like Willman Mankiller,
and Andrew looked at me like, that's my mother. Nice. Yeah,
so you know, some of my best relationships start with

(11:10):
me putting my foot in my mouth. Steve wrote to
Michael at iiheartmedia dot Com. I'm with you, Michael. I
have been pushing to vote out every single incumbent for
over two years now, and I'll continue to do so.
I feel like every single one of them is bought
off and have lost sight of we the people, and
the fact that they work for us. There is no

(11:31):
sense of servant leadership. I always say, if you have
fired them all and started over, you'd maybe lose a
handful of good people. Boy, you'd get rid of a
lot of scum. Time to clean house and get rid
of all of them. Yes, but that's why we played
that audio from harriy Anton. The ones with the real

(11:51):
referendum anti incumbent problem is the Democrats. Renee writes, Dear Michael,
I couldn't do my mornings without you, so please don't
be mad at me. The pronunciation of the man running
for governor in California is Bessarah. No what am I
saying now? I don't remember what I was saying so.

(12:13):
First of all, Renee would never get mad. Second of all,
I would never live in California. Third of all, I
really don't care if I mispronounced the name, because I'm
encouraging everyone to stay at Hilton. No, I've been saying Besarah,
haven't I maybe I've been saying but Shera, Bshera, Besara.
You guys know who I'm talking about. He came in second,

(12:34):
But there is a severe Shenanigan watch that is in effect.
Keep those calls coming. Use that iHeartRadio app and the
talkback so talk radio can be a conversation. Again. I
appreciate that I have way more fun talking to you
all than I do talking to myself. And you can
always email Michael d at iHeartMedia dot com. All right,
nineteen minutes after the hour, picture this. You're at work,

(12:55):
your phone buzzes, and at your kid's number. You answer,
and you hear kids avoid and they're panicked. They're saying
they've been in an accident. They need money right now.
You'd move heaven and Earth, wouldn't you. And that's exactly
what the scammer is counting on. Here's the play. Criminals,
buy your phone number and your family details from data brokers.
Then they grab three seconds of your kid's voice using AI,

(13:18):
they clone it and they make the call and they
get your money. Now, you can't stop them from cloning
a voice, but you can make sure they never get
your number in the first place. And that's done using Incogni,
a trusted website you can use to put data brokers
on notice. They can't sell your data if they don't
have it. I rely on them to protect me and

(13:40):
my entire family. They contact hundreds and hundreds of brokers,
force them to delete your personal information, and they keep
it gone because they'll keep trying to get it. It
coss about seven dollars a month and it's worth every penny.
But for you, my your morning show listener, they're offering
sixty percent off. Don't miss this. First of all, you
ought to be outraged. They can't scam you, can't spam you,

(14:01):
they can't disqualify you, sell you, or make a profit
off you. If they can't find you, disappear within Cogni,
and you'll get sixty percent off the regular price just
for being a your morning show listener. Go to incognit
I n C O G N I in Cogniti dot
com forward slash Michael. That's promo Codemichael in cognit dot
com forward slash Michael. This is your morning show with

(14:24):
Michael del Chno.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Hey, good morning, Michael. Strike from Michael Pennsylvania. Hey, please
please do not insult my two favorite muppet characters by
turning them to them.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
My deepest apologies to the Henson family and to you.
I never thought of that, Bernie and Chuckie. That's an
insult to the Muffet and an insult to the Muppets.
All right, if you're just waking up, these are your
top five stories up today? Well, uh, the US and
Iran exchange, missile fire, and the Persian golf. But the

(15:01):
president says he does not. He dismisses anyone that thinks
that the negotiations are failing. Mark Mayfield has that story
top boards.

Speaker 12 (15:10):
Under the regency, Iran began firing missiles at US allies
after the US attacked an oil tanker bound for an
Iranian port that did not comply with the US blockade.
The US also reportedly struck an Iranian military ground control
station near i the Strait of Hormuz, which triggered Iran
to fire missiles at the Gulf nations of Bahrain and Kuwait.
Kuwaiti authorities say the Iranian attack insured a number of

(15:33):
people at its international airport and that all flights were
forced to be suspended for rains as it intercepted three
Iranian missiles and called the attacks heinous.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
I'm Mark Neyfield Well. The candidates are set now for
the only New Jersey House race this fall that will
not feature an incumbent.

Speaker 13 (15:48):
That's New Jersey's twelve congressional district Democrat Bonnie Watson Coleman
is retiring. NBC News projects Democrats in the Central Jersey
twelfth nominated plastic surgeon and former combat surgeon Adam Hamaway.
Ham Away, who's been critical of Israel's war in Gaza,
had the support of Bernie Sanders and AOC, though doctor

(16:08):
Hamaway is not a Democratic Socialist like they are. Ham
Away figures to be the favorite in November over Republican
Greg Meely, a lawyer who's run more than once and
was unopposed Tuesday. Democrats outnumber Republicans in the twelfth by
more than two to one. I'm Andrew Whitman.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
Ashley Hinson will win the Republican Senate primary in Iowa.
She thinks she thanked her supporters afterwards and gave a
shout out to the President.

Speaker 12 (16:33):
We know that no one has fought harder and persevered
it through, more sacrificed more just to do the right
thing for our country than our President.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
Has Henson, endorsed by President Trump, defeated Jim Carlin in
the race to succeed retiring Republican Senator Jony Ernst. She'll
square off against the Democrat John Turik come November. While
singer and songwriter Pbo Bryce has passed away at the
age of seventy five.

Speaker 12 (17:05):
Ndutastic Boy, his family sins Bryson dined surrounded by his
loved ones just days after suffering a stroke. Bryson was
an eight time Grammy nominee known for his chart topping
Disney collaborations, including his nineteen ninety two duet Whole New
World from Aladdin with Regina Bell, who was the first
song from an animated film to top the Billboard Hot
one hundred is to Edit. The title song from the

(17:27):
Disney film Beauty and the Beast with Celine Dion, was
also a hit I'm Mark Nephew and that's your top
five stories of the day.

Speaker 9 (17:36):
This is Eric from East Liverpool, Howe in My Morning Show?

Speaker 13 (17:40):
Is your Morning Show with Michael Del Jero.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Hi, it's Michael. Your Morning show can be heard weekday
mornings in great cities like Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Memphis,
in Nashville, Tennessee. And we got you covered in California,
San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine. We're thrilled you're here.
Now enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 4 (18:04):
Michael del Journal, Did I hear you say it's National
Repeat Day?

Speaker 3 (18:08):
I think about the silliest thing.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
I've ever heard of in my life? Michael Del Journal?
Did I hear you say it's National Repeat Day? I
think that's about the silliest thing I've ever heard of
my life.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
I can't I'm embarrassed. I'm laughing at that. What is
wrong with you people? This morning? It's usually me misbehaving.
There is something serious in the water. Thirty six minutes
after the hour, Good morning and welcome to Wednesday, June
the third year of Our Lord twenty sixth. On the
air and on your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show.

(18:42):
I think I'm honored to serve you. I'm Michael del Journal.
Jeffrey has the sound, which, by the way, I hear
that rejoin way too much and there's no way that
airs every one out of every three hundred nights. I
have to play that because I'm practicing it for our
next yacht rocket, so I can do that Peter Gabriel song.
I'm telling I hear that a lot. Play the next one,

(19:03):
Play the next one. Yeah, I hear that one too
all the time. Play the next one, kind of like
that one that's meant at work. Save that one, next one.
I hear that a lot too. I'm telling you, I

(19:26):
don't get your rotation. I don't think it's working one
right after the other. You've got them on these little carts.
They just anyway. Jeffrey's got the sound, and it is
a repeat day, So I guess that's why you're repeating
the ones you like over and over again. Red'll keep
an eye on the content, and let me give you
an example of that. Donna called in from Philadelphia and
talked about what Steyer has shelled out of his own

(19:48):
wealth in this race, and it doesn't appear as always
going to make the runoff by any stretch as it
stands right now, and this will get only worse. But
as it stands right now, st has paid two hundred
and twenty eight dollars per vote. You could walk around
like Monty Hall handing out crokers a couple of one

(20:09):
hundred bucks to people. By the way, if a candidate
walked up to you and hand you two hundred dollars,
would you vote for him? I think I might save
your ads. Just pay me. I'm shameless. By the way,
if somebody walked up to you a candidate and hand
you to two hundred dollars, would you vote for him?
I would? I'm shamed. I just wanted to repeat like
you repeating that.

Speaker 4 (20:29):
No.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
So Styer has paid two hundred and twenty eight dollars
per vote. The guy leading in the governor's race in California,
Hilton just eleven bucks. Talk about the smarter millionaire, right,
He's paid eleven dollars a vote. Stier two hundred and
twenty eight dollars per vote. I think that pretty much
sums it up well. We've had a lot of the

(20:50):
cabinet members filling in while Caroline Levitt is on maternity leave.
Marco Rubio, Vice President JD. Vance had been two that
have gotten a lot of at tent. Well, doctor Oz
made his appearance yesterday and I thought he did fabulous.
Of course, he's got a long television background. John Decker
is our White House correspondent for over thirty years covering presidents.

(21:14):
How did you and your colleagues think doctor Oz did.
This has kind of been fun to have access to
all these cabinet members, I would.

Speaker 8 (21:19):
Think, Well, it is the problem is when you send
someone like a doctor Oz in there, it limits the
ability to ask questions on a variety of topics. Whereas
with Caroline Levitt, she speaks for the administration on everything.
You can ask her about foreign policy, you can ask
her about domestic policy.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
No problem.

Speaker 8 (21:39):
Yesterday when several questions were asked about of doctor Oz
about the president's choice to have one of his members
of his team lead that d and I he could
not answer that question. We're talking about Bill Poulty as
the acting Director of National Intelligence. Many Republicans have come

(22:00):
out publicly that have said he has no qualifications for
this position. And what we heard yesterday from doctor Oz
is he couldn't weigh in on this one way or another.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
Let me ask you a question, because I know that
there is a White House Press Secretary, there's also a
deputy White House Press secretary. Why not just film with that?

Speaker 8 (22:23):
You know, that's a choice that was made by the
team that operates the Communications office, and they just felt
that this was the best way to handle things. I
don't think that they may have the confidence, for instance,
in one of the people on Caroline's team handling questions
on a.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
Variety of topics just yet. But I don't know. I mean,
that's just a pure yeah or really conjecture, or it's
genius and this is their way. I mean, I said
early on, I think the president is playing apprentice with
Marco and JD. And I think a lot of this
had to do with giving everybody the exposure to both,
just like he gave big assignments to both. So I
think that's I think I'm probably right. And then I

(23:03):
think the secondary good idea about it was just to
give you know, sell the entire cabinet and the personalities.
That's good for the administration, not necessarily good for the reporters.
Depending on the day and what they're trying to cover,
so they might be kind of about playing it there.
This is probably one of the first time that I
think it's really just kind of didn't you know, it

(23:24):
fell a little flat as far as variety and ability
to carry out the job. But when's Caroline coming back?
Is probably the most urgent question of the morning. Yeah,
I don't know. I don't know. Bring the baby. I
don't care. The baby can cry during the press conference,
I don't care. Yeah, that's right. She's very good at
her job.

Speaker 8 (23:42):
I center a text just the other day of not
her back, So I think she just really focused on
being a mom right now. So my guess is this
is simply a guess.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
I think it's after labor Day she comes back to
take on the duties of press secretary.

Speaker 8 (23:58):
It's a demanding job, so we deserved this time off
at a time when she's now being a busy mom
with two children, two young children.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Well, I don't think. I mean, she's just too exceptional
of a talent. I don't know what her future is.
I suspect she's going to have a lot of options.
So I'm sure that that's been baked into the cake.
That again, my wife was an attorney just like you,
and we had twins. And guess what, she never went
back to work again, so she may never come back.
That's a very very demanding job, maybe one of the

(24:29):
most That's probably one of the best things that came
out of the West Wing. I never thought about this,
but I bet that was a great, very popular show
among reporters, right because it takes place in your room,
your life.

Speaker 8 (24:41):
Well, it was a popular show period, you know, one
of the top rated shows at the time that it aired.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
And it's still popular.

Speaker 8 (24:47):
I get all kinds of questions regarding a show that
what is it, Michael, like twenty years old, and yet
it's still popular.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
That's pretty remarkable. But it shows you how strenuous that
job is. All Right, I don't know how the President's
going to keep up this space. I had a Lieutenant
curone James Carafano yesterday. He couldn't even convince me. I
just don't get why we're trying to put lipstick on
a pig, and a pig that doesn't even need to exist.
Why are we negotiating with somebody that, even if he
had a deal, you couldn't trust it. You don't need
to negotiate with him. You just need to secure the
strait of horror moves, keep an eye on the nuclear materials.

(25:16):
If they move on them, blow them up, and if
they make a move on the straight, blow them up.
I don't even know why we're trying to make this
a peace quagmire. But now you have the President saying
I reject any reports that our negotiations have broken down
as they're exchanging missiles yesterday a lot. Yeah, that's exactly right.

Speaker 8 (25:35):
Things really heated up in the past twelve to eighteen
hours with both countries launching strikes at each other and
shutting down, by the way, the Kuwait airport with a
strike launch to buy iron against KUW eight. So you're right,
I mean, right now, peace negotiations, they're really nothing to
speak of given what has occurred over the course of

(25:57):
the past twenty four hours.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
Coming up today at the White House briefing with yourself, well,
we'll be talking about this latest skirmish between the US
and Iran, talking also about the President's decision to name
Bill Poulti as the acting DNI and what that means
going forward in terms of relations with Republicans in Congress.

(26:20):
So those two things really will dominate today's White House
Press briefing, And as you mentioned, you can download that
easily on your app.

Speaker 8 (26:30):
Make it a preset. It's only a less than ten
minutes or something like that. That's how long it is.
Typically you can listen on it on the way to work,
as you prepare lunch for your kids, whatever. It's a
great way to get caught up in terms of what's
happening at the way.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
Well, of course, it depends on when they go to work.
I'd rather than listen to me than you, but after me,
make it a precept to you, no, I think for you,
just search the White House Briefing Room with John Decker
on your iHeartRadio app. When you find it, give it
a preset. It'll be waiting for you every morning, eight
Central ninety. It really is concise, It really is unbiased
and objective, and it keeps you in touch with the

(27:06):
issues that are really shaping things around the White House.
John is always a pleasure. We'll talk again tomorrow. Thank you, Michael.
I don't know them even do the I don't know.
Jeffrey works very hard on them. I guess I'll do.

Speaker 5 (27:18):
It all right. Everybody block a loud look you just
gotta try harder, not just something.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
To every opportunity for a brief specifics lesson.

Speaker 4 (27:26):
Sure, perhaps you'd like to be alone with you a
deteriorating mental condition.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
I wanted to just start with this because you know,
I've always said if I, if I could have Jill
Biden come on the show, and right now we're going
to try the trigger. But you know they can google.
They figure out real quick who we are. Uh. I
pulled that up once in Tulsa, but you can't pull
that off on the national level. But I doubt Joe
Biden would appear on this show, but I would ask
her that question, all right, So because you've heard me,

(27:55):
and I don't like to just attack people, but my
clear question that Joe Biden would be okay. So you
were scared to death that your husband was having a stroke,
so scared that you let him finish a debate, so
scared that you cheered him on after the bait and
told him how good he did. Still didn't go to
an emergency room, so concerned that you went to the

(28:16):
waffle house after that. How about throughout all of this,
knowing his condition to be used by the DNC, you
saw the signs or you were scared to death? Why
didn't you take an out? Well, guess what the view
had access to her and good for the view. They
asked the question so we can get the answer.

Speaker 14 (28:36):
We've given so much of himself and to see you
even saying like I thought he was having a medical episode,
I was concerned. Was there any part of you that
went into protection mode of like Joe, you can't keep
doing this like this is they're taking so much.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
For the doctors told me he was fine. I'm not
a doctor. I mean I am a doctor. She is
all about herself, isn't she? How revealing is that there's
something that stinks to high Heaven about this woman? Can't

(29:08):
come to the surface fast enough? Or has it already?
What happened at sixty minutes? What happened at CBS? How
did Scott Pelly get fired?

Speaker 15 (29:20):
Listen this morning turmoil at sixty minutes. I'm Scott Pelly,
veteran correspondent Scott Pelly blasting CBS News leadership and a
fiery meeting Monday, accusing editor in chief Barry Wise of
murdering the Revered Show.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
According to a source in the.

Speaker 15 (29:35):
Room and an audio recording, obtained by NBC News. The
tense exchange came during a staff meeting with the brand
new sixty minutes executive producer, technology journalist and documentary maker
Nick Bilton, who was tapped by Weiss's last week despite
never having worked in traditional broadcast news and Monday's meeting,
Builton warrenstaff that broadcast is an ice cube that is

(29:57):
melting and the show must adapt, but added that wise
loved sixty minutes, according to the recording. At that Pelly interrupted,
saying firmly she does not love this place. She was
brought in to kill it and she's been doing exactly that,
adding she has no qualifications for her job, and telling
his new boss directly, you have slender qualifications for this job.

(30:19):
Former sixty minutes had Bill Owens also blasting CBS Monday
Night for a while away as concerns grow for the
landmark show.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
See journalism is dead, and I think sixty minutes is
officially dying. It's been dying for a while, and the
egos are clashing. But Scott Pelly is out and it's
internal fighting that is now public. So you have Spencer
Pratt advancing to the runoff. I mean, I realize they're

(30:51):
still counting. There's not enough that could change it, including
mail in votes counted for a week. But it appears
pretty evident that unless there's some severe shenanigans, that Spencer
Pratt will be in the runoff with Mara Bass. And
you might think, Okay, well now you're in the runoff,
but now the Democrats are all gonna yeah unit and
you don't have a chance. Listen to his response, absolutely not.

Speaker 6 (31:14):
I think the next five months is I'm gonna have time.

Speaker 7 (31:17):
To build out his team, to show everybody the level
of Democratics supporters that are have behind me, the heavy
hitters that are in this room that are all behind me.
And I think this idea that I don't represent Democrats
and Republicans and independents, anyone that's just a Los Angeles citizen,
the most basic quality of light.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
I'll be able to show that in five months. Well,
there's a couple of things, and I think this speaks
for America, not just California. But if you're waking up
this morning and we're on in San Diego, Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Sacramento, there's a lot of you listening. So
there is an anti incumbent referendum in full bloom. So

(32:00):
anybody that's an incumbent isn't a disadvantage in this case,
Mayor Bass. And we know the circumstances in which a
lot of people in Los Angeles are very frustrated. You
also have a star candidate in Spencer Pratt, who has
the backing of a who's who in Hollywood, and a
lot of them Democrats. Their houses burned down too when

(32:24):
we went through the numbers with Harry Enton in his
CNN presentation. This anti incumbent referendum spirit in America is
mainly Democrats, very dissatisfied with Democrat leaders and incumbents. So

(32:46):
it is far too early to assume that the Democrats
will rally around bay A Bass. Now, she increased the
ceiling beyond what people or polling suggested she could. But
if this is just a short elementary view, if the
other forty one percent of the vote that went non

(33:13):
Pratt's way is anti Bass, a disproportionate amount can go
to Pratt in this runoff, And if he rises to
the occasion of the next three months the way he
did leading up to this, great moments in a debate,
great social media staying on point. He's already got the

(33:33):
great point focus right now, which is I'll be everybody's mayor.
This isn't an R and D race. This is a
right wrong race. I think he's got a real chance.
As for the governor's race, well, not only is it
going to be a Republican and a Democrat in the runoff,

(33:54):
it looks as though the Republican will head into the
runoff starting off in the lead. Here's Hilton last night.

Speaker 9 (34:01):
We're not there yet, but it's looking good.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
It looks very much. It looks very much.

Speaker 9 (34:10):
As if Californians really will have the chance to vote
for change in November and take and take our state
and take our state in a new direction afresh, a
fresh start for our state, which is long overdue. But

(34:31):
I just want to say something to every single person
who voted for me, and every single person who voted
in this election, whether you voted for me or not,
I am here for you, for every single one of you.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
So that seems to be a common theme and a
smart theme for the Republican candidates. Now make the runoff
and then appeal to Democrats. Well, for Steve Hilton, this
is with sixty two percent of the votes counted, and
again you still have a week to count all the
mail in vote. He was at one point three million,
Bischer was at one point two million. Stier was at

(35:04):
nine hundred and ninety seven thousand. It just doesn't seem
like there's the capability for whether you loaded red counties
first or not, for that much ground to be made
up to get Stire in that run. Unless there's some
really severe shenanigans. It looks as though Steve Hilton and
Bisher will be the runoff in the governor's race. We
did the price per vote for Hilton. It costs him

(35:28):
about eleven dollars a vote for Stire two hundred and
twenty eight dollars a vote and a good bit of
his wealth. And that's your sounds of the day. What's
happening in the Middle East right now? Well, it's not
just another headline because it could be a direct hit
to your walplet. The Iran conflict is pushing oil prices higher,
and that impacts everything you buy, gas, groceries, utilities. When

(35:49):
energy spikes, your dollar buys less fast. Inflation just jumped again,
driven largely by energy and now major banks more and
more volatility could be ahead. Are you concerned? You should be.
If inflation sticks, energy stays high, and the economy slows,
the risk of recession rises. Moodies is putting the odds
at nearly fifty percent. That's a warning sign. You simply

(36:12):
cannot ignore. What are central banks doing. They're buying more gold.
Several banks are now forecasting even higher goal prices ahead.
Shouldn't you own gold? Start with my friends at Lyar
Capital because we are a no pressure education, first trusted voice.
Call Dear Capital at eight hundred eight eight zero twenty

(36:33):

KIP eight hundred eight zero twenty four to twenty four.
That's Lyri Capital one eight hundred eighty eight zero twenty
four to twenty four for Lear Capital. Today, it's your
morning show with Michael Delchono. We just had a talkback.
I don't have time to play it, but he was
talking about how doctor Oz did great, especially when somebody

(36:54):
asked him do you think you can find a cure
for Trump derangement syndrome?

Speaker 10 (36:57):
There they're suffering from a very serious helmet called chunks
arrangement syndrome.

Speaker 16 (37:02):
I am concerned about folks who have focused their entire
life energy on dislike of the president. It's disheartening to
see if people lost in that way, But you know,
it's it's treating stupid.

Speaker 3 (37:17):
It's really hard. That was the perfect moment for him.
Other than that, he's no j D. He's no Marco.
