Mike McCann, Hakeem, Jeffries, Tellibas string. As the debating continues,
sooner or later they'll vote and the big beautiful bill
will pass and after all the theater will be headed
to the Oval Office for the President's signature.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
And as it turns out, July third, not July fourth.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Pentagon says US strikes have knocked Aron's nuclear program back
closer to at least two years maybe more. President is
celebrating the US has struck a trade deal with Vietnam
and freed hostage Eden. Alexander is going to meet with
the President the First Lady at the Oval Office later today,
and I think the President goes on a trip today too,
to set up and announce all the planning for the

We're going to turn two hundred and forty nine tomorrow,
but the following year will be two hundred and fifty
years old as a nation.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
America, on the.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Eve of celebrating its two hundred and forty ninth birthday,
National correspondent Roy O'Neil is here to take a look
at some of the traditions and facts behind the Fourth
of July celebration. Good morning, roryan Happy fourth of July.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Happy Independence Day, And yes, the President will be going
to Iowa today this evening to sort of kick off
events leading into the two hundred and fiftieth I want
to bring back the by centennial minute.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Can we do that? Can we dig those up and
bring those Do you remember, though, how old? I shouldn't
do that because then you may not be comfortable. But
I'm trying to think. I think I was twelve and
nineteen seventy six, and I have so many vivid memories
of the bicentennial, especially going to Rolling Metal High School
to watch the fireworks on that night. But it was
two hundred was a big, big deal. And I said,
(02:11):
two and fifty is going to be a big deal.
Well it should be. I remember the tall Ship's parade.
I was what six, I guess technically still six? Really
so I'm older than you. Why do you look so
much older than me?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Nice, Well I'll speak louder. Yeah, so the no. But
the tall ships sailing into.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
New York, remember that, because they had started and gathered
right outside my window in Newport, Rhode Island first before
sailing and gathered.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
That's where they sailed from to sail into New York.
Was from Rhode Island, which by the.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Way, is home to the oldest continuous Fourth of July
parade in the nation in Bristol, Rhode Island, where the
main street is the main street. It does not have
a double yellow line. It has a red, white and
blue line down the parade route. First parade in seven
teen eighty five.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Well, we're all looking for something that can bust this
matrix we're stuck in where we're a divided nation. We
were pre divided in nineteen seventy six too, coming out
of Watergate and coming out of Vietnam, and then the
whole rebellious.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Peachment and Hippie movement and all that.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Maybe two hundred and fifty can get us a focused
where I'd like us to be focused for two hundred
and forty nine. What are some of the tradition just
brought up one the oldest parade? What are some other traditions?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Any idea?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
How many flags the US has had in its history
officially speaking, six twenty seven? Really that high, always the
same blue square, red white stripes the number, but as
we adopted the states, it went up to twenty seven
official different flags. And then what's another fun one four
(03:48):
point seven million dollars. That's how much we have paid
to import American flags in twenty.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Four Yeah, there's nothing like the pride of waiving that
made in China flag.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Sixty four percent of American's own an American flag. And
an he guesses as to how many hot dogs we're
eating tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Oh gosh, no clue of.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Remember three there are three hundred and fifty ish million Americans,
So how many hot dogs do you think?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I think over one hundred million, one.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Hundred and fifty million hot dogs to be consumed tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
So that's a lot of processed meat, so a lot.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Of that's another argument. But yeah, that's a lot of
pepto bismo all the day after.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
So that's a bit Fourth of July celebration traditions. Rory O'Neil, thanks,
You'll be back in the third hour. We're gonna talk
attle bit more about this big beautiful bill that I
suspect about that time they may be concluding the debate
and getting ready to vote. They were busy throughout the
night Fourth of July. Or I really like the way
Rory corrected me. Independence Day. What is it today compared
(04:54):
to what it has been in the past, What must
it always be? And how much of that is determined
by where focuses. Senior contributor David'sanadi is joining us. We
wanted it yesterday. This came up kind of impromptu. Just
have a little conversation about the importance now. I want
to say something in pure confession. This is always a
struggled holiday for me. When I was a kid, it
(05:18):
was kind of you know, like Christmas changes. I think
Independence State can change, or at least it feels that
way in our experiential memories.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
David, you need to undo the mute and you can
be able to talk.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
But you know, when you're a kid, fireworks are a
much bigger deal when you're a kid. Yankee, Doodle Dandy,
was you know watch that on WGN you had the fireworks?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I mean it was all that.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Now as an adult, it's hot to go see fireworks.
There's a lot of travel, and even that, David, is
an issue of focus right and neuroassociation. But boy, when
I think of that document, the Declaration of Independence, when
I think of the Constitution, when I think of the
men and women who have sacrificed to preserve and protect
this republic, Yeah, like a human being, we got a
(06:03):
lot of wrinkles. Our flag is tethered somebody q red skeleton.
But we still are one nation under God, indivisible with
liberty and justice for all in intent and design, and boy,
that's worth celebrating and remembering if we're ever going to
continue to preserve it. Good morning and Happy Independence Day.
Good morning, Thank you, Michael. Sorry for the froggy voice today,
(06:25):
but David had a gathering in Ohio and he flew
in a plane that means illness.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yes, And the gathering we had was to launched our
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary celebration of the declaration. I
went back and a number of years ago, when we
did at Christmas in America in nineteen seventy six, I
went back and studied how did people celebrate the two
hundredth anniversary. ABC News literally cleared the decks of the
(06:51):
network for all day, complete coverage. For twelve hours they
were covering the Declaration of Independence and the celebrations. It
was so boring. I fell asleep at least three times.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
It was who would that have been? Back the woud
that it been Peter Jennings. No, Ry Reasoner, Harry Reasoner,
that's right.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Harry Reasoner. Yep, this isn't going to be that kind
of celebration, Michael. The two hundred and fiftieth celebration of
the Decoration of Independence is very, very important. I'm mindful
of an interview I did once on one of your
other radio shows in years gone by. You were out,
I had the privilege of filling in, and I was
interviewing a gentleman who had become the governor of Tennessee.
(07:31):
Bill Lee. The first question I asked him was tell
me what the Declaration of Independence means to you? And
he stopped and he said, no one's ever asked me
that question before. That's the status of where we are
in our country. It's kind of a document that is
the very heartbeat of who we are and what we do,
(07:54):
but we really don't think about it very much. So
this is a big deal to have a two hundred
and fiftieth anniversary, very very big deal. And of course
to the American poul surrounding, well, we're gonna do everything
we can to bring back to people the reality. But
what you can read this thing in just a few
minutes and it can change your life. My old co host,
Gwen Freeman has it memorized. I wish I could say
I have a memorized the whole thing. That's magnificent. I
(08:15):
don't even do that.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah, No, she has the whole thing, and she can
and we would do it every year, and she just
come everywhere, and it should be imprinted. It is our
mission statement in essence. You know, people don't do this anymore.
I'll never forget. I don't even think it exists anymore.
It's here in Franklin, Tennessee. It was a it's like
a piece. No, it was an Italian like catering to go.
(08:38):
You would pick it up to go and they would
do large sizes for catering. And I walked in and
it's the first time I've seen it.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I don't know how long.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
But the first thing staring at you was not we
don't accept checks, not no shirt, no shoes, no sir boom.
Was their mission statement as a family and as a company,
and their commitment to me walking in there for their
product and service, And I thought, wow, you just don't
see those anymore. I view the Declaration of Independence as
(09:09):
our mission statement. I think our pledge is our war
cry more or less if you will, and then our
anthem is our anthem. But it's everything. It's the spirit,
it's the intent, it's it's the it's the center of
the being. It's from which everything comes from. And you're right,
(09:30):
how does a guy run for governor? Nobody's brought it up.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, And by the way, this happens all the time
when we interview political candidates for major races.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
So, by the way, in the case of there's been
other disappointment since But in the case of Bill Ye,
he answered the question very well. Yes he did, and
Covid I don't know that he lived it very well,
but he answered it very well. So the Declaration of Independence,
you're right, Michael, is it's a worldview document.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
It's a rationale, it's a defense. It's an apologetic for
American liberty. Now it's in the the consent of in
the sense of a confession. This is a confession of
what we believe to be real. We hold these truths
to be self evident, that all men are created equal,
that they're endowed by their creator with certain and alienable rights,
(10:15):
that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the consent of the government.
That is a worldview treatise that defines America in less
than a sentence. Not a wasted syllable, not a wasted
was a lot of commas, but not a wasted word.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
They wrote big sentences back then. I was just gonna say,
I coming up on a break in my conversation with Rory,
we looked at the bi centennial, the two hundred year birthday,
coming out of Watergate, coming out of well both a
hippie movement, a rebellion movement and a spiritual revival in
(10:57):
a Jesus movement. And then of course very divisive war,
the Vietnam War, but the Bisonteni was a big deal
and America united for it. Fifty years later. Are we
going to be able to in other words, what does
the fourth of July look like in the midst of
the matrix. When our conversation with David Sinnati continues.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
It's your morning show with Michael Del Journo. Big, good morning,
Senior Michael, Miguel. Excuse me.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
President d Trump is going to be coming to the
Iowa State Fairgrounds.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
The gates open at eight.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Be there early because the cars are already probably lined
up three miles long.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
The Declaration of Independence is the human writ of God's divine,
merciful providence over this nation.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Boy, that's a that's a tough one to ever top.
Isn't that great car? Who was that last caller? That
was beautiful? That was Flip Gregory Flip. We don't give
last names. I'm sorry, sorry, just Flip. Then give me
his exact GPS location. Okay, stand out, you beautifully stated,
thank you for that, twenty five minutes after the hour,
visiting with David Sinati. I don't know if we have
overtime in US today. We may get to it. Let's
(12:11):
before we move on, let's answer that question, not just
compared tonight nineteen seventy six and the bi centennial to now,
but how might fourth of July Independence Day look in
the midst of a matrix compared to the past. And
(12:32):
I think a great way of saying it is we've
got tens of thousands, maybe one hundred thousand that are
playing to protest a no king that doesn't exist as
we embark on. And by the way, we're very words,
two hundred and forty nine this year, two hundred and
fifty next year. But the president had to die with
a kick off the two hundred and fifty year celebration
on the eve of the two hundred and forty ninth birthday.
But how is the matrix confect I mean, how does
(12:54):
the matrix impact patriotism, let alone views of Independence Day.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Well, one thing for sure, Michael is to listen for
what the opponents of the declaration don't say that's the key.
They don't quote this document, they don't recite it, they
don't memorize it, because the words of this document completely
upend every single thing that they stand for. You'll hear
them use the word freedom, not liberty. You'll hear them
(13:20):
talk about anything but the democracy, not republic democracy. Now,
I will say this.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
The DNC did make the theme for Kamala Harris's convention
were the people, wasn't it or was that well twenty
twenty in Biden, I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah, Biden would walk around talking about the soul of
the nation, but never give us the cure. That the
cure is found in the Declaration of Independence. And the
other thing that you'll hear a lot of conversation about
is a separation of church and state. But most people
don't recognize the fact that if you read the Declaration
of Independence, God has mentioned four times in the one
page document four times, and he is the source of
(13:56):
our rights.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Well, because they got it exactly backwards. This nation is
to keep man out of God, not God out of man.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
So yeah, and out of government. So you'll get the
godless equations approach to what and what is that that's
do whatever you want to do, of course, go on
the streets and parade around like a bunch of adolescents
who can't get their way through the elected process, through
the discipline process, through the governing process, and eventually it
always ends up in the same place, mob rule. That's
where they end up with. Because what the declaration teaches
(14:26):
is if we lose God, we lose man. But if
we find God, we find man. I didn't write it,
I didn't say it. It's right there, four times mentioned,
and it's mentioned in the context of the hour, which
makes it even more powerful and more applicable. Nature Nature
is God, the creator from where our rights come from,
the supreme judge of the world, to whom we must
answer for the rectitude of our intentions. And then finally,
(14:47):
the divine providence that, through him alone, will give us
an opportunity to survive a war and maybe even with
his grace, win a war that we can be free.
So this is an amazing reality. It's the most not
talked about reality in the American world of civil governments.
We've spent forty five years as an organization, hopeful hoping
to bring this one document to the forefront. This is
(15:11):
unfair to do with two minutes left in the segment.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
But you know, I look back at my walk with
God and my zeal and my passion was fresh, at
fresher at my rebirth than it is today. And we
used to joke certain songs remind us when we first
got saved and we'd feel the joy of our salvation again.
I think I'm much wiser fifty years later, but I
(15:35):
was probably much more zealous. It's remarkable that this experiment
has lasted two hundred and fifty years, and it is
not abnormal for it to go through ebbs and flows
where it needs to rediscover itself and return to the
joy of its creation. Because it would be easy to
say we were best at our beginning, those were our
(15:58):
most remarkable leaders.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
They just don't exist like that, especially in numbers. Well,
and see, I would say, there's no way you could
possibly minimize the effectiveness and the commitment of the founding generation.
But we've had some amazing people. I'll take that World
War II group a time. Yeah, freedom by the Depression, yeah,
I really will. So we've had some wonderful times. But
the beauty of this document is that it restores hope.
(16:23):
That's what it really does. It restores hope because it's
built upon moral agency and conscience, which is basically defined
in this document is the consent of the government. Is
the bok Wisconsin. In My Morning show with your Morning
Show with Michael Design of Hi, It's me and Michael.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Your Morning Show can be heard on great stations across
the country like Talk Radio eleven ninety and Dallas Sport Worth,
Freedom one oh four point seven and Washington, DC and
five point fifty k f YI and Phoenix, Arizona. We'd
love to be a part of your morning routine or
take us along on the drive to work, but as
we always say, better late than never.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Enjoy the podcast Morning.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Michael, Jeffrey and Red just wanted to wish you all
a happy Independence Day.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I for one, am grateful that I understand what that means.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
I've been taught well by three generations that came before
me that I knew personally, and so that includes the
people pre depression, Depression, World War two, so forth. I'm
grateful for this day and everything it means. I have
a long weekend.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I have my favorite co host, you the listener, great comments, Roger.
You get my mind going in a million directions, one
of which is, when you think of me at the
bi centennial, I'm only thirty years removed from World War Two.
That's remarkable because today, when I think of thirty years ago,
nineteen ninety five, it seems like yesterday. Look how diff
(18:00):
this generation is, which begs where we're really headed. Thirty
six minutes after the hour on the air, streaming live
on your heart radio app this is your morning show,
there will be a vote in the big beautiful build.
They're still debating or filibustering or whatever the rules are
allowing them, or their disobeying disobeying. Sooner or later there'll
be a vote and it will head to the president's task. Well,
lot more on that coming up. But no, David, you
know we didn't get here by chance.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
They have.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Wonderfully and played for the long haul carefully by indoctrinating
our children. Used to be they would wait till they
got to higher education and then try to erase everything
that was instilled to them growing up. Then they took
over K through twelve, So the indoctrination begins in preschool,
let alone kindergarten all the way through. We don't teach
(18:48):
the Declaration of Independence, No wonder we don't marvel at
the document, we're not aware of it. And then you know,
you have media bias, rewriting reality, history being revery written,
so on and so forth. So there's been an amazing
fifty year indoctrination that's going to have an impact on
help people celebrate Independence Day. Imagine if I live the
(19:09):
rest of my day today focused on all my failures
to live Christ's example and calling versus focused on his
grace in spite of me, that remains the answer and
perfection for eternity. It's a matter of focus to some
degree too, and indoctrination.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Right well, it reminds me of Psalm one O three,
which says that he, speaking of the Creator, God remembers
our frame. He knows that we are dust. His expectations
of us aren't sometimes as high as ours ours. He
recognizes we will fall down. The key is that we
get up and keep walking in the right direction. And
that is the story of America. But it begins with him.
(19:48):
That's what you won't hear from the left, all the marches,
all the hoopla, You'll never hear the reality of the
worldview of the declaration, because that's the worldview that sets
peace people free. So this weekend, Michael I just checked.
We just posted on the Public Square the celebration that
(20:09):
we had to launch our two fold project going into
the Declaration of Independence. We hit the twenty twenty five
button the twenty twenty six button at the same time
and said, let's start the celebration. Now, let's get a
head start on the knuckleheads. We got all dollars in
the queue, everybody's on all hands on deck. Let's redeclare
the declaration and let it speak for itself.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
By the way, Public Square is hurt on two hundred
stations nationwide, but it's on demand anytime you want it
at the Public Square dot com.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
And we're on some great iHeart stations for which we're
very grateful. Well, thank you for a plug.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Did I mention that my boss Julie Talbot is inducted
into the Radio Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
God?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Yeah, I mean, I've you've been around me for a
long time. I've worked for some really bad people. I've
been very unhappy and now I work for the best
and I've never been happier. And boy, I mean it's
surreal every now and then to think I have the
same boss Russel and bid. But there is no one
more worthy than Julie Talbot. But yes, iHeart and premiere
(21:15):
two very dear networks for us, all right, bottom line,
fourth of July two hundred and forty nine.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
What's it mean? Well, what it means is that we're
still free if we choose to be. That's what it means.
Because liberty is a choice. Liberty is a choice built
upon conscience. It's a choice built upon moral agency. It's
a choice built upon commitments. What the Declaration of Bendependence
tells us more than anything else is you can confess
these truths, but until you commit to them, nothing changes.
(21:45):
And the fifty five people that signed that document made
a commitment of their lives, their fortunes, their sacred honor,
without which we wouldn't be here today. Their task was impossible.
They knew that. That's why they called upon the supreme
Judge of the world and his divine providence to help them.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Are we in a better place at two hundred and
forty nine than we were at two hundred or a
worst place?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Great question. I don't know, to be honest with you,
that I can say that that brief period of.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Well, it's darkest, darkest before dawn, kind of a feeling,
so I would say worse, but on the verge.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Of a miracle. But when I was in DC last Michael,
I got to say it. I always have to walk
by the National Archive and know the document's still in there, fading,
but it's there. It's still there. Yeah. And one of.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
The interesting things I see America having a political and
cultural shift, that's for sure. I sense a spiritual shift coming,
but I don't see it yet. And my problem with
all this conversation is, well, you just finished a book,
(22:53):
and I saw the manuscript behind you, and it's John
Quincy Adams, son of John Adams, our second president and
also a president, and an extraordinary man that we need
to study more. This son may have top dad. He's
one of my favorite historical characters that nobody ever brings up.
So I'm so excited that you've written a book about
John Quincy Adams. His quote was, this republic it's all
(23:16):
together wrong for an immoral people. And while I see
America turning to Donald Trump, which is better than a
two party system, grant you, it's still looking at politicians
and government and not we the people, and it's still
returning to family, but not yet to God. And family
won't sustain without God. Man won't sustain without God, and
(23:39):
this republic certainly can't sustained without God. So I'm still
waiting on the full repentance, but I'm seeing signs that
we're heading in that direction. And because we're returning in
reverse order of which we left, does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Sure, People like you're right on it, People like John
Quincy Adams didn't make that statement as a more judgments,
saying until we're perfect, God won't very practical. You can't
self govern unless you have God exactly right. You lose God,
you lose Man. And so it was really more of
a prayer and a plea that we would remain intelligent
enough to understand that we didn't make this place with humans.
(24:16):
The dreams of the declaration are basically impossible, but not
with God, because with God all things are possible. So
they kept the door open to help from above.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
The climax of the Star Spangled Banner is which, by
the way, our listener brought this up yesterday, and it
was so powerful. The rockets red glare in that song.
That's because they had to use fireworks to light the
sky when they were battling at night. So it was
when that was lit you could see your enemy and
target as well as see what is still and what isn't.
(24:50):
So the rockets, red glare, the bombs bursting in air
gave proof through the night that the flag was still there.
And I love what you said. As long as you
can go by that National Archives and that document is
still there, there's the hope that it may be taught,
there's the hope that it may be read. It is
that there is the hope that it may be lived.
(25:11):
And with that we wish everyone a happy Independence Day
at two hundred and forty nine, with the hope in
the prayer of the two hundred and fifty may look
just like two hundred and beyond, we've overcome our divide
and united once again. That's our hope. Anyway, right, Thank you, Michael,
Well said.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
God bless you. Don't miss the Public Square.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
They're kicking off the big two hundred and fifty on
the eve of two hundred and forty nine. You can
hear these important broadcasts at the Public Square dot com.
Happy Independence Day, David, you too.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Thanks guys, all right.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
If you're just waking up forty four minutes after the hour. Well,
they were into the wee hours of the night, and
it was about three am this morning that I think
and the President of course, had put out a message
on social media which indicated in essence that they had
twisted the final arms and that the Republican holdouts had
(26:06):
been satisfied. And then about three point thirty this morning,
I think the Speaker realized he had the votes to
make it, and so then the debate began over the
rules of the debate. The debate is going on now,
sooner or later, it's got to end. They can't talk forever,
and when it does end, there will be a vote.
In all indications are the Big Beautiful Bill is headed
to the President's big beautiful desk on the third of July,
(26:28):
not the fourth of July. Meanwhile, the President had other
good news. The US had struck a trade deal with Vietnam.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
According to the President, the deal includes a twenty percent
tariff on the Southeast Asian country's imports to the US,
and we'll give the US tariff free access to Vietnam's markets.
Vietnam has also agreed that goods would be hit with
a forty percent tariff rate if they originated in another
country and were transferred to Vietnam for final shipment to
the United States. The agreement was unveiled less than a
week before a ninety day pause on reciprocal tariffs is
(26:57):
set to expire by Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Is laying off thousands of employees in its latest round
of cuts.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
The move is expected to impact less than four percent
of its global workforce across different teams. The software company
has held several rounds of layoffs already this year, including
in May when it announced layoffs of around six thousand workers.
Microsoft reportedly is looking to reduce the layers of managers
that stand between individual contributors and top executives.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I'm Brian Schuk.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
So just how far did we set Iran's nuclear program back? Well,
the Pentagon says the airstrikes at least knocked the program
back two years.
Speaker 7 (27:36):
Annegon spokesman Sean Parnell gave the assessment one that's more
optimistic than what UN inspectors have said.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
We believe, and certainly all of the intelligence that we've
seen have led us to believe that Iran's those facilities
especially have been completely obliterated.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
Last weekend, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Iran could
be enriching uranium in a matter of months. The US
military has said three key nuclear sites were significantly damaged
by more than a dozen bunker busting bombs and Tomahawk missiles.
I'm Tammy Trichillo.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Well, as we predicted, they were never going to be
able to prove racketeering, reco trafficking. Did he dodge the
big charges, but it was found guilty on two other
charges and they come with a ten year sentence and
he'll remain locked up until the sentencing hearing. Kristin Marx reports.
Speaker 8 (28:25):
The judge ordered all sides to return to court on
October third, but noted it could change if Ditty's team
argues to meet earlier than that. The judge denied the
hip hop mogul bail Wednesday, calling him a danger to others,
noting his tendency toward violence as displayed in that infamous
hotel video.
Speaker 7 (28:43):
Showing the beating of his ex Cassie Ventura.
Speaker 8 (28:45):
The defense had argued, did he be released because the
jury acquitted him of the more serious charges of racketeering, conspiracy,
and sex trafficking. Prosecutors are seeking a four to five
year prison sentence.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Kristin Marx NBC News Radio.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Well, obviously, as Rory mentioned in his Fourth of July facts,
we're going to consume about one hundred and fifty million
hot dogs. Fourth of July is a big barbecue day,
with sixty six percent of us firing up the grill.
You bought the food company is coming and there's lots
of pressure to get it right.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Pre Tennis has more.
Speaker 9 (29:19):
I recute disasters can range from minor like overcooking the food,
or major like your pro Paine tank exploding. Pitmasters say
you can avoid disaster by planning your cook Start with
a clean grill, have water nearby, go easy on the
lighter fluid, and invest in a meat thermometer so you
don't overcook. The USDA says outdoor bashes also increase the
(29:40):
chance for food poisoning, so keep things cold and wash
your hands. I'm pre Tennis.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
They're still debating, but the big beautiful bill will be
voted on and we'll head to the President's desk by
July third, not July fourth. We'll have more on that
coming up in minutes if you're just waking up. It's
a special Thursday, fourth of July eve. I was notified
by the White House at about five five h two
am this morning.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Because I was upset.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I thought, you know, it's nice to have the fourth
of July off, but I hate missing Friday with forty seven.
The President will be joining us for a very special
Thursday with forty.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Seven coming up in just minutes from now. Did consequence,
it's the best way to get back on your pagers,
to get up off your arm. I've been living rent
free in that guy's head for years, and that's just
a bote icle. That chicken a d They're just blowing off.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Steve Tie for your Sounds of the day, They're always revealing,
often entertaining. This is Harryton on CNN, uh finally describing
in research what I've been saying for years. The Democrats
have an eye problem, an Israel problem, and they may
have an n Y eye problem New York Intofada problem.
(30:56):
They both came together with these results.
Speaker 10 (30:57):
Listen true, I mean, look Andrew Cuomo during the primary
attack Mandania as being insufficiently pro Israel. I'm not quite
sure the former governor understood how much the politics have
changed around this issue among Democrats.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
What are we talking about here, all right?
Speaker 10 (31:11):
Who Democrats sympathized more with Israelis or Palestinians. In twenty seventeen,
the Democratic Party was a pro Israeli party.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Look at this.
Speaker 10 (31:18):
They sympathized with the Israelis by thirteen points, more with
the Israelis than the Palestines. But look at the sea change.
Now Democrats sympathize one with the Palestinians by forty three
points off.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
The death of journalism. That's the matrix, from a thirteen
point support for Israel in twenty twenty seven to a
plus forty three point support of Palestine. Always important to
keep in mind, America is leaving the two party system.
(31:51):
The Democrat Party has abandoned the Democrat worldview and policy
view and gone socialist. And now with the New York
election threatening to go Islah mist left. Now that was
always in the socialist justice movement.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Hello the squad.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
But think about how many people disproportionately are becoming independent
out of the Democrat Party versus the Republican Party. Slowly,
as the sink drains, all that's left is the soot.
You know what I mean, which is the far left
that explains a lot of these numbers, plus the narrative,
plus the narrative repeating, plus the matrix and death of journalism.
(32:34):
But that's an extraordinary snapshot. At some point we would
have to say the Democrat Party doesn't have an eye
problem an Israel problem. They're a pro pea party now
in terms of biblical worldview. Keep in mind this all
gets close to the end when the world unites against Israel.
(32:56):
That's not going to happen as long as America is
standing by israel side. If we are, and we're not
necessarily a two party system anymore, but if we were,
half of America has a band in Israel.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
I bet you never thought that was possible.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Mom Donnie, whether he wins or loses, may have a
much bigger ramification for the Democrat Party than a mayor's election.
So it says one of the top Democrat strategy.
Speaker 11 (33:27):
This is a nine to one one moment for the
Democratic Party. In the sense that he's an anti Semitic socialist,
I think you have to throw both of them at
both of those things. And because he has really not
disavowed the global infantata. He has not really disavowed his
comments that you should seize the means of production. He
(33:48):
is perhaps the most extreme major candidate ever to win
such a major office, and the system itself, the primary system,
has been hijacked. There normally would have been a runoff,
which would have then exposed his views rather than his
smiling through the primary.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
And now the dilemma what do you do with Andrew Cuomo,
which is why Al Sharpton is calling on him to
stop his race because if he runs, he might pave
the way for this which might pave the way or
not just a socialist Democrat party, but an Islamist Democrat party.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
That just sounds the day. We're all in this together.
This is Your Morning Show with Michael Enhild Joano
Hi, I'm Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
We'd love to have you listen every weekday morning to
your morning show live, even take us along with you

new way of talk, a new way of understanding different.
But because we're in this togev, this is your morning
show with Michael O'Dell charm, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Mike McCann, Hakeem, Jeffries, Tellibas string. As the debating continues,
sooner or later they'll vote and the big beautiful bill
will pass and after all the theater will be headed
to the Oval Office for the President's signature.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
And as it turns out, July third, not July fourth.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Pentagon says US strikes have knocked Aron's nuclear program back
closer to at least two years maybe more. President is
celebrating the US has struck a trade deal with Vietnam
and freed hostage Eden. Alexander is going to meet with
the President the First Lady at the Oval Office later today,
and I think the President goes on a trip today too,
to set up and announce all the planning for the
(01:18):
We're going to turn two hundred and forty nine tomorrow,
but the following year will be two hundred and fifty
years old as a nation.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
America, on the.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Eve of celebrating its two hundred and forty ninth birthday,
National correspondent Roy O'Neil is here to take a look
at some of the traditions and facts behind the Fourth
of July celebration. Good morning, roryan Happy fourth of July.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Happy Independence Day, And yes, the President will be going
to Iowa today this evening to sort of kick off
events leading into the two hundred and fiftieth I want
to bring back the by centennial minute.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Can we do that? Can we dig those up and
bring those Do you remember, though, how old? I shouldn't
do that because then you may not be comfortable. But
I'm trying to think. I think I was twelve and
nineteen seventy six, and I have so many vivid memories
of the bicentennial, especially going to Rolling Metal High School
to watch the fireworks on that night. But it was
two hundred was a big, big deal. And I said,
(02:11):
two and fifty is going to be a big deal.
Well it should be. I remember the tall Ship's parade.
I was what six, I guess technically still six? Really
so I'm older than you. Why do you look so
much older than me?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Nice, Well I'll speak louder. Yeah, so the no. But
the tall ships sailing into.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
New York, remember that, because they had started and gathered
right outside my window in Newport, Rhode Island first before
sailing and gathered.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
That's where they sailed from to sail into New York.
Was from Rhode Island, which by the.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Way, is home to the oldest continuous Fourth of July
parade in the nation in Bristol, Rhode Island, where the
main street is the main street. It does not have
a double yellow line. It has a red, white and
blue line down the parade route. First parade in seven
teen eighty five.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Well, we're all looking for something that can bust this
matrix we're stuck in where we're a divided nation. We
were pre divided in nineteen seventy six too, coming out
of Watergate and coming out of Vietnam, and then the
whole rebellious.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Peachment and Hippie movement and all that.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Maybe two hundred and fifty can get us a focused
where I'd like us to be focused for two hundred
and forty nine. What are some of the tradition just
brought up one the oldest parade? What are some other traditions?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Any idea?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
How many flags the US has had in its history
officially speaking, six twenty seven? Really that high, always the
same blue square, red white stripes the number, but as
we adopted the states, it went up to twenty seven
official different flags. And then what's another fun one four
(03:48):
point seven million dollars. That's how much we have paid
to import American flags in twenty.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Four Yeah, there's nothing like the pride of waiving that
made in China flag.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Sixty four percent of American's own an American flag. And
an he guesses as to how many hot dogs we're
eating tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Oh gosh, no clue of.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Remember three there are three hundred and fifty ish million Americans,
So how many hot dogs do you think?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I think over one hundred million, one.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Hundred and fifty million hot dogs to be consumed tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
So that's a lot of processed meat, so a lot.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Of that's another argument. But yeah, that's a lot of
pepto bismo all the day after.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
So that's a bit Fourth of July celebration traditions. Rory O'Neil, thanks,
You'll be back in the third hour. We're gonna talk
attle bit more about this big beautiful bill that I
suspect about that time they may be concluding the debate
and getting ready to vote. They were busy throughout the
night Fourth of July. Or I really like the way
Rory corrected me. Independence Day. What is it today compared
(04:54):
to what it has been in the past, What must
it always be? And how much of that is determined
by where focuses. Senior contributor David'sanadi is joining us. We
wanted it yesterday. This came up kind of impromptu. Just
have a little conversation about the importance now. I want
to say something in pure confession. This is always a
struggled holiday for me. When I was a kid, it
(05:18):
was kind of you know, like Christmas changes. I think
Independence State can change, or at least it feels that
way in our experiential memories.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
David, you need to undo the mute and you can
be able to talk.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
But you know, when you're a kid, fireworks are a
much bigger deal when you're a kid. Yankee, Doodle Dandy,
was you know watch that on WGN you had the fireworks?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I mean it was all that.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Now as an adult, it's hot to go see fireworks.
There's a lot of travel, and even that, David, is
an issue of focus right and neuroassociation. But boy, when
I think of that document, the Declaration of Independence, when
I think of the Constitution, when I think of the
men and women who have sacrificed to preserve and protect
this republic, Yeah, like a human being, we got a
(06:03):
lot of wrinkles. Our flag is tethered somebody q red skeleton.
But we still are one nation under God, indivisible with
liberty and justice for all in intent and design, and boy,
that's worth celebrating and remembering if we're ever going to
continue to preserve it. Good morning and Happy Independence Day.
Good morning, Thank you, Michael. Sorry for the froggy voice today,
(06:25):
but David had a gathering in Ohio and he flew
in a plane that means illness.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yes, And the gathering we had was to launched our
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary celebration of the declaration. I
went back and a number of years ago, when we
did at Christmas in America in nineteen seventy six, I
went back and studied how did people celebrate the two
hundredth anniversary. ABC News literally cleared the decks of the
(06:51):
network for all day, complete coverage. For twelve hours they
were covering the Declaration of Independence and the celebrations. It
was so boring. I fell asleep at least three times.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
It was who would that have been? Back the woud
that it been Peter Jennings. No, Ry Reasoner, Harry Reasoner,
that's right.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Harry Reasoner. Yep, this isn't going to be that kind
of celebration, Michael. The two hundred and fiftieth celebration of
the Decoration of Independence is very, very important. I'm mindful
of an interview I did once on one of your
other radio shows in years gone by. You were out,
I had the privilege of filling in, and I was
interviewing a gentleman who had become the governor of Tennessee.
(07:31):
Bill Lee. The first question I asked him was tell
me what the Declaration of Independence means to you? And
he stopped and he said, no one's ever asked me
that question before. That's the status of where we are
in our country. It's kind of a document that is
the very heartbeat of who we are and what we do,
(07:54):
but we really don't think about it very much. So
this is a big deal to have a two hundred
and fiftieth anniversary, very very big deal. And of course
to the American poul surrounding, well, we're gonna do everything
we can to bring back to people the reality. But
what you can read this thing in just a few
minutes and it can change your life. My old co host,
Gwen Freeman has it memorized. I wish I could say
I have a memorized the whole thing. That's magnificent. I
(08:15):
don't even do that.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah, No, she has the whole thing, and she can
and we would do it every year, and she just
come everywhere, and it should be imprinted. It is our
mission statement in essence. You know, people don't do this anymore.
I'll never forget. I don't even think it exists anymore.
It's here in Franklin, Tennessee. It was a it's like
a piece. No, it was an Italian like catering to go.
(08:38):
You would pick it up to go and they would
do large sizes for catering. And I walked in and
it's the first time I've seen it.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I don't know how long.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
But the first thing staring at you was not we
don't accept checks, not no shirt, no shoes, no sir boom.
Was their mission statement as a family and as a company,
and their commitment to me walking in there for their
product and service, And I thought, wow, you just don't
see those anymore. I view the Declaration of Independence as
(09:09):
our mission statement. I think our pledge is our war
cry more or less if you will, and then our
anthem is our anthem. But it's everything. It's the spirit,
it's the intent, it's it's the it's the center of
the being. It's from which everything comes from. And you're right,
(09:30):
how does a guy run for governor? Nobody's brought it up.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, And by the way, this happens all the time
when we interview political candidates for major races.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
So, by the way, in the case of there's been
other disappointment since But in the case of Bill Ye,
he answered the question very well. Yes he did, and
Covid I don't know that he lived it very well,
but he answered it very well. So the Declaration of Independence,
you're right, Michael, is it's a worldview document.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
It's a rationale, it's a defense. It's an apologetic for
American liberty. Now it's in the the consent of in
the sense of a confession. This is a confession of
what we believe to be real. We hold these truths
to be self evident, that all men are created equal,
that they're endowed by their creator with certain and alienable rights,
(10:15):
that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the consent of the government.
That is a worldview treatise that defines America in less
than a sentence. Not a wasted syllable, not a wasted
was a lot of commas, but not a wasted word.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
They wrote big sentences back then. I was just gonna say,
I coming up on a break in my conversation with Rory,
we looked at the bi centennial, the two hundred year birthday,
coming out of Watergate, coming out of well both a
hippie movement, a rebellion movement and a spiritual revival in
(10:57):
a Jesus movement. And then of course very divisive war,
the Vietnam War, but the Bisonteni was a big deal
and America united for it. Fifty years later. Are we
going to be able to in other words, what does
the fourth of July look like in the midst of
the matrix. When our conversation with David Sinnati continues.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
It's your morning show with Michael Del Journo. Big, good morning,
Senior Michael, Miguel. Excuse me.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
President d Trump is going to be coming to the
Iowa State Fairgrounds.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
The gates open at eight.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Be there early because the cars are already probably lined
up three miles long.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
The Declaration of Independence is the human writ of God's divine,
merciful providence over this nation.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Boy, that's a that's a tough one to ever top.
Isn't that great car? Who was that last caller? That
was beautiful? That was Flip Gregory Flip. We don't give
last names. I'm sorry, sorry, just Flip. Then give me
his exact GPS location. Okay, stand out, you beautifully stated,
thank you for that, twenty five minutes after the hour,
visiting with David Sinati. I don't know if we have
overtime in US today. We may get to it. Let's
(12:11):
before we move on, let's answer that question, not just
compared tonight nineteen seventy six and the bi centennial to now,
but how might fourth of July Independence Day look in
the midst of a matrix compared to the past. And
(12:32):
I think a great way of saying it is we've
got tens of thousands, maybe one hundred thousand that are
playing to protest a no king that doesn't exist as
we embark on. And by the way, we're very words,
two hundred and forty nine this year, two hundred and
fifty next year. But the president had to die with
a kick off the two hundred and fifty year celebration
on the eve of the two hundred and forty ninth birthday.
But how is the matrix confect I mean, how does
(12:54):
the matrix impact patriotism, let alone views of Independence Day.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Well, one thing for sure, Michael is to listen for
what the opponents of the declaration don't say that's the key.
They don't quote this document, they don't recite it, they
don't memorize it, because the words of this document completely
upend every single thing that they stand for. You'll hear
them use the word freedom, not liberty. You'll hear them
(13:20):
talk about anything but the democracy, not republic democracy. Now,
I will say this.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
The DNC did make the theme for Kamala Harris's convention
were the people, wasn't it or was that well twenty
twenty in Biden, I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah, Biden would walk around talking about the soul of
the nation, but never give us the cure. That the
cure is found in the Declaration of Independence. And the
other thing that you'll hear a lot of conversation about
is a separation of church and state. But most people
don't recognize the fact that if you read the Declaration
of Independence, God has mentioned four times in the one
page document four times, and he is the source of
(13:56):
our rights.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Well, because they got it exactly backwards. This nation is
to keep man out of God, not God out of man.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
So yeah, and out of government. So you'll get the
godless equations approach to what and what is that that's
do whatever you want to do, of course, go on
the streets and parade around like a bunch of adolescents
who can't get their way through the elected process, through
the discipline process, through the governing process, and eventually it
always ends up in the same place, mob rule. That's
where they end up with. Because what the declaration teaches
(14:26):
is if we lose God, we lose man. But if
we find God, we find man. I didn't write it,
I didn't say it. It's right there, four times mentioned,
and it's mentioned in the context of the hour, which
makes it even more powerful and more applicable. Nature Nature
is God, the creator from where our rights come from,
the supreme judge of the world, to whom we must
answer for the rectitude of our intentions. And then finally,
(14:47):
the divine providence that, through him alone, will give us
an opportunity to survive a war and maybe even with
his grace, win a war that we can be free.
So this is an amazing reality. It's the most not
talked about reality in the American world of civil governments.
We've spent forty five years as an organization, hopeful hoping
to bring this one document to the forefront. This is
(15:11):
unfair to do with two minutes left in the segment.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
But you know, I look back at my walk with
God and my zeal and my passion was fresh, at
fresher at my rebirth than it is today. And we
used to joke certain songs remind us when we first
got saved and we'd feel the joy of our salvation again.
I think I'm much wiser fifty years later, but I
(15:35):
was probably much more zealous. It's remarkable that this experiment
has lasted two hundred and fifty years, and it is
not abnormal for it to go through ebbs and flows
where it needs to rediscover itself and return to the
joy of its creation. Because it would be easy to
say we were best at our beginning, those were our
(15:58):
most remarkable leaders.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
They just don't exist like that, especially in numbers. Well,
and see, I would say, there's no way you could
possibly minimize the effectiveness and the commitment of the founding generation.
But we've had some amazing people. I'll take that World
War II group a time. Yeah, freedom by the Depression, yeah,
I really will. So we've had some wonderful times. But
the beauty of this document is that it restores hope.
(16:23):
That's what it really does. It restores hope because it's
built upon moral agency and conscience, which is basically defined
in this document is the consent of the government. Is
the bok Wisconsin. In My Morning show with your Morning
Show with Michael Design of Hi, It's me and Michael.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
Michael, Jeffrey and Red just wanted to wish you all
a happy Independence Day.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I for one, am grateful that I understand what that means.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
I've been taught well by three generations that came before
me that I knew personally, and so that includes the
people pre depression, Depression, World War two, so forth. I'm
grateful for this day and everything it means. I have
a long weekend.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I have my favorite co host, you the listener, great comments, Roger.
You get my mind going in a million directions, one
of which is, when you think of me at the
bi centennial, I'm only thirty years removed from World War Two.
That's remarkable because today, when I think of thirty years ago,
nineteen ninety five, it seems like yesterday. Look how diff
(18:00):
this generation is, which begs where we're really headed. Thirty
six minutes after the hour on the air, streaming live
on your heart radio app this is your morning show,
there will be a vote in the big beautiful build.
They're still debating or filibustering or whatever the rules are
allowing them, or their disobeying disobeying. Sooner or later there'll
be a vote and it will head to the president's task. Well,
lot more on that coming up. But no, David, you
know we didn't get here by chance.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
They have.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Wonderfully and played for the long haul carefully by indoctrinating
our children. Used to be they would wait till they
got to higher education and then try to erase everything
that was instilled to them growing up. Then they took
over K through twelve, So the indoctrination begins in preschool,
let alone kindergarten all the way through. We don't teach
(18:48):
the Declaration of Independence, No wonder we don't marvel at
the document, we're not aware of it. And then you know,
you have media bias, rewriting reality, history being revery written,
so on and so forth. So there's been an amazing
fifty year indoctrination that's going to have an impact on
help people celebrate Independence Day. Imagine if I live the
(19:09):
rest of my day today focused on all my failures
to live Christ's example and calling versus focused on his
grace in spite of me, that remains the answer and
perfection for eternity. It's a matter of focus to some
degree too, and indoctrination.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Right well, it reminds me of Psalm one O three,
which says that he, speaking of the Creator, God remembers
our frame. He knows that we are dust. His expectations
of us aren't sometimes as high as ours ours. He
recognizes we will fall down. The key is that we
get up and keep walking in the right direction. And
that is the story of America. But it begins with him.
(19:48):
That's what you won't hear from the left, all the marches,
all the hoopla, You'll never hear the reality of the
worldview of the declaration, because that's the worldview that sets
peace people free. So this weekend, Michael I just checked.
We just posted on the Public Square the celebration that
(20:09):
we had to launch our two fold project going into
the Declaration of Independence. We hit the twenty twenty five
button the twenty twenty six button at the same time
and said, let's start the celebration. Now, let's get a
head start on the knuckleheads. We got all dollars in
the queue, everybody's on all hands on deck. Let's redeclare
the declaration and let it speak for itself.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
By the way, Public Square is hurt on two hundred
stations nationwide, but it's on demand anytime you want it
at the Public Square dot com.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
And we're on some great iHeart stations for which we're
very grateful. Well, thank you for a plug.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Did I mention that my boss Julie Talbot is inducted
into the Radio Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
God?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Yeah, I mean, I've you've been around me for a
long time. I've worked for some really bad people. I've
been very unhappy and now I work for the best
and I've never been happier. And boy, I mean it's
surreal every now and then to think I have the
same boss Russel and bid. But there is no one
more worthy than Julie Talbot. But yes, iHeart and premiere
(21:15):
two very dear networks for us, all right, bottom line,
fourth of July two hundred and forty nine.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
What's it mean? Well, what it means is that we're
still free if we choose to be. That's what it means.
Because liberty is a choice. Liberty is a choice built
upon conscience. It's a choice built upon moral agency. It's
a choice built upon commitments. What the Declaration of Bendependence
tells us more than anything else is you can confess
these truths, but until you commit to them, nothing changes.
(21:45):
And the fifty five people that signed that document made
a commitment of their lives, their fortunes, their sacred honor,
without which we wouldn't be here today. Their task was impossible.
They knew that. That's why they called upon the supreme
Judge of the world and his divine providence to help them.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Are we in a better place at two hundred and
forty nine than we were at two hundred or a
worst place?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Great question. I don't know, to be honest with you,
that I can say that that brief period of.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Well, it's darkest, darkest before dawn, kind of a feeling,
so I would say worse, but on the verge.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Of a miracle. But when I was in DC last Michael,
I got to say it. I always have to walk
by the National Archive and know the document's still in there, fading,
but it's there. It's still there. Yeah. And one of.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
The interesting things I see America having a political and
cultural shift, that's for sure. I sense a spiritual shift coming,
but I don't see it yet. And my problem with
all this conversation is, well, you just finished a book,
(22:53):
and I saw the manuscript behind you, and it's John
Quincy Adams, son of John Adams, our second president and
also a president, and an extraordinary man that we need
to study more. This son may have top dad. He's
one of my favorite historical characters that nobody ever brings up.
So I'm so excited that you've written a book about
John Quincy Adams. His quote was, this republic it's all
(23:16):
together wrong for an immoral people. And while I see
America turning to Donald Trump, which is better than a
two party system, grant you, it's still looking at politicians
and government and not we the people, and it's still
returning to family, but not yet to God. And family
won't sustain without God. Man won't sustain without God, and
(23:39):
this republic certainly can't sustained without God. So I'm still
waiting on the full repentance, but I'm seeing signs that
we're heading in that direction. And because we're returning in
reverse order of which we left, does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Sure, People like you're right on it, People like John
Quincy Adams didn't make that statement as a more judgments,
saying until we're perfect, God won't very practical. You can't
self govern unless you have God exactly right. You lose God,
you lose Man. And so it was really more of
a prayer and a plea that we would remain intelligent
enough to understand that we didn't make this place with humans.
(24:16):
The dreams of the declaration are basically impossible, but not
with God, because with God all things are possible. So
they kept the door open to help from above.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
The climax of the Star Spangled Banner is which, by
the way, our listener brought this up yesterday, and it
was so powerful. The rockets red glare in that song.
That's because they had to use fireworks to light the
sky when they were battling at night. So it was
when that was lit you could see your enemy and
target as well as see what is still and what isn't.
(24:50):
So the rockets, red glare, the bombs bursting in air
gave proof through the night that the flag was still there.
And I love what you said. As long as you
can go by that National Archives and that document is
still there, there's the hope that it may be taught,
there's the hope that it may be read. It is
that there is the hope that it may be lived.
(25:11):
And with that we wish everyone a happy Independence Day
at two hundred and forty nine, with the hope in
the prayer of the two hundred and fifty may look
just like two hundred and beyond, we've overcome our divide
and united once again. That's our hope. Anyway, right, Thank you, Michael,
Well said.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
God bless you. Don't miss the Public Square.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
They're kicking off the big two hundred and fifty on
the eve of two hundred and forty nine. You can
hear these important broadcasts at the Public Square dot com.
Happy Independence Day, David, you too.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Thanks guys, all right.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
If you're just waking up forty four minutes after the hour. Well,
they were into the wee hours of the night, and
it was about three am this morning that I think
and the President of course, had put out a message
on social media which indicated in essence that they had
twisted the final arms and that the Republican holdouts had
(26:06):
been satisfied. And then about three point thirty this morning,
I think the Speaker realized he had the votes to
make it, and so then the debate began over the
rules of the debate. The debate is going on now,
sooner or later, it's got to end. They can't talk forever,
and when it does end, there will be a vote.
In all indications are the Big Beautiful Bill is headed
to the President's big beautiful desk on the third of July,
(26:28):
not the fourth of July. Meanwhile, the President had other
good news. The US had struck a trade deal with Vietnam.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
According to the President, the deal includes a twenty percent
tariff on the Southeast Asian country's imports to the US,
and we'll give the US tariff free access to Vietnam's markets.
Vietnam has also agreed that goods would be hit with
a forty percent tariff rate if they originated in another
country and were transferred to Vietnam for final shipment to
the United States. The agreement was unveiled less than a
week before a ninety day pause on reciprocal tariffs is
(26:57):
set to expire by Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Is laying off thousands of employees in its latest round
of cuts.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
The move is expected to impact less than four percent
of its global workforce across different teams. The software company
has held several rounds of layoffs already this year, including
in May when it announced layoffs of around six thousand workers.
Microsoft reportedly is looking to reduce the layers of managers
that stand between individual contributors and top executives.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I'm Brian Schuk.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
So just how far did we set Iran's nuclear program back? Well,
the Pentagon says the airstrikes at least knocked the program
back two years.
Speaker 7 (27:36):
Annegon spokesman Sean Parnell gave the assessment one that's more
optimistic than what UN inspectors have said.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
We believe, and certainly all of the intelligence that we've
seen have led us to believe that Iran's those facilities
especially have been completely obliterated.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
Last weekend, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Iran could
be enriching uranium in a matter of months. The US
military has said three key nuclear sites were significantly damaged
by more than a dozen bunker busting bombs and Tomahawk missiles.
I'm Tammy Trichillo.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Well, as we predicted, they were never going to be
able to prove racketeering, reco trafficking. Did he dodge the
big charges, but it was found guilty on two other
charges and they come with a ten year sentence and
he'll remain locked up until the sentencing hearing. Kristin Marx reports.
Speaker 8 (28:25):
The judge ordered all sides to return to court on
October third, but noted it could change if Ditty's team
argues to meet earlier than that. The judge denied the
hip hop mogul bail Wednesday, calling him a danger to others,
noting his tendency toward violence as displayed in that infamous
hotel video.
Speaker 7 (28:43):
Showing the beating of his ex Cassie Ventura.
Speaker 8 (28:45):
The defense had argued, did he be released because the
jury acquitted him of the more serious charges of racketeering, conspiracy,
and sex trafficking. Prosecutors are seeking a four to five
year prison sentence.

Kristin Marx NBC News Radio.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Well, obviously, as Rory mentioned in his Fourth of July facts,
we're going to consume about one hundred and fifty million
hot dogs. Fourth of July is a big barbecue day,
with sixty six percent of us firing up the grill.
You bought the food company is coming and there's lots
of pressure to get it right.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Pre Tennis has more.
Speaker 9 (29:19):
I recute disasters can range from minor like overcooking the food,
or major like your pro Paine tank exploding. Pitmasters say
you can avoid disaster by planning your cook Start with
a clean grill, have water nearby, go easy on the
lighter fluid, and invest in a meat thermometer so you
don't overcook. The USDA says outdoor bashes also increase the
(29:40):
chance for food poisoning, so keep things cold and wash
your hands. I'm pre Tennis.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
They're still debating, but the big beautiful bill will be
voted on and we'll head to the President's desk by
July third, not July fourth. We'll have more on that
coming up in minutes if you're just waking up. It's
a special Thursday, fourth of July eve. I was notified
by the White House at about five five h two
am this morning.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Because I was upset.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I thought, you know, it's nice to have the fourth
of July off, but I hate missing Friday with forty seven.
The President will be joining us for a very special
Thursday with forty.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Seven coming up in just minutes from now. Did consequence,
it's the best way to get back on your pagers,
to get up off your arm. I've been living rent
free in that guy's head for years, and that's just
a bote icle. That chicken a d They're just blowing off.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Steve Tie for your Sounds of the day, They're always revealing,
often entertaining. This is Harryton on CNN, uh finally describing
in research what I've been saying for years. The Democrats
have an eye problem, an Israel problem, and they may
have an n Y eye problem New York Intofada problem.
(30:56):
They both came together with these results.
Speaker 10 (30:57):
Listen true, I mean, look Andrew Cuomo during the primary
attack Mandania as being insufficiently pro Israel. I'm not quite
sure the former governor understood how much the politics have
changed around this issue among Democrats.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
What are we talking about here, all right?
Speaker 10 (31:11):
Who Democrats sympathized more with Israelis or Palestinians. In twenty seventeen,
the Democratic Party was a pro Israeli party.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Look at this.
Speaker 10 (31:18):
They sympathized with the Israelis by thirteen points, more with
the Israelis than the Palestines. But look at the sea change.
Now Democrats sympathize one with the Palestinians by forty three
points off.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
The death of journalism. That's the matrix, from a thirteen
point support for Israel in twenty twenty seven to a
plus forty three point support of Palestine. Always important to
keep in mind, America is leaving the two party system.
(31:51):
The Democrat Party has abandoned the Democrat worldview and policy
view and gone socialist. And now with the New York
election threatening to go Islah mist left. Now that was
always in the socialist justice movement.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Hello the squad.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
But think about how many people disproportionately are becoming independent
out of the Democrat Party versus the Republican Party. Slowly,
as the sink drains, all that's left is the soot.
You know what I mean, which is the far left
that explains a lot of these numbers, plus the narrative,
plus the narrative repeating, plus the matrix and death of journalism.
(32:34):
But that's an extraordinary snapshot. At some point we would
have to say the Democrat Party doesn't have an eye
problem an Israel problem. They're a pro pea party now
in terms of biblical worldview. Keep in mind this all
gets close to the end when the world unites against Israel.
(32:56):
That's not going to happen as long as America is
standing by israel side. If we are, and we're not
necessarily a two party system anymore, but if we were,
half of America has a band in Israel.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
I bet you never thought that was possible.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Mom Donnie, whether he wins or loses, may have a
much bigger ramification for the Democrat Party than a mayor's election.
So it says one of the top Democrat strategy.
Speaker 11 (33:27):
This is a nine to one one moment for the
Democratic Party. In the sense that he's an anti Semitic socialist,
I think you have to throw both of them at
both of those things. And because he has really not
disavowed the global infantata. He has not really disavowed his
comments that you should seize the means of production. He
(33:48):
is perhaps the most extreme major candidate ever to win
such a major office, and the system itself, the primary system,
has been hijacked. There normally would have been a runoff,
which would have then exposed his views rather than his
smiling through the primary.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
And now the dilemma what do you do with Andrew Cuomo,
which is why Al Sharpton is calling on him to
stop his race because if he runs, he might pave
the way for this which might pave the way or
not just a socialist Democrat party, but an Islamist Democrat party.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
That just sounds the day. We're all in this together.
