Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I'm Michael del jorno, and your morning show can be
heard live as it's happening five to eight am Central
and six to nine Eastern on great stations like six
twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or Akrons, News Talk six
forty WHLO and Akron, Ohio and News Radio five seventy
WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part
of your morning routine, but we're glad you're here now.
(00:22):
Enjoy the podcast a new way.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Of understanding because we're in this together.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
This is your morning show with Michael o'del Truman session,
family slide over, a little bit mikeroom for some people
here at the table.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
We're entering Buffalo, New York.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I want to welcome twelve seventy am, The Patriot wus W,
Buffalo's conservative talk to the your morning show family, and
the great seven ninety k NST and Tucson, Arizona. We
just kicked get happier and bigger every day. Welcome Buffalo,
I know mine. Welcome Buffalo, Welcome Tucson. This is your
(01:00):
morning show. Eight minutes after the hour, President Trump has
signed letters to twelve countries. We believe this is the
take it or leave it tariff offers. Israel set a
team of negotiators to Cutter for talks with Hamas on
a ceasefire. And it's the third day of search and
rescue operations in the flash flood zone of central Texas,
where now the death toll has risen to eighty two,
(01:21):
still ten campers and one councilor unaccounted for, and I
believe upwards of forty unaccounted for in the county. Your
morning show national correspondent Roy O'Neil is here with the
very latest rory. This is almost just too painful for
any one person to take in.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Isn't it.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
It really is, And you know, the sun coming up
in Texas, it's going to obviously help with rescue operations.
But we've got local, federal, state all out there trying
to do this all out effort to try to find
anyone who may still have survived this catastrophe that seems
to just be a confluence of terrible events, the timing
of when it happened, the location of some of these
(02:01):
camps where the rainfall came down along the Guadalupe River
and its contributaries.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
It just seems to be an awful series of events. Yeah,
and now we're.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Starting to see pictures of some of the children being identified,
and these are beautiful, beautiful, young little girls. And every
parent's instinct, of course, is to protect their children. And
I just can't imagine the level of pain and grief
knowing how scared they must have been, or how horrific
the end may have come. It's just like I said,
(02:32):
it's just too much for any one individual to take in.
Let's talk about the President. He definitely responded to Governor
Abbott's call for disaster relief and as well as plans
to visit for later.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
In the week. Right.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
I think he's tentatively planning to visit on Friday. Of course,
there is more rain than the forecast happening today, so
you just put a peenia on Friday. But we'll see
how it actually happens. He has promised full federal support.
Still raises the question he was asked about it last
night in terms of well, if you're going to get
rid of FEMA, how is this going to work? So
they still need to develop some I understand their intent
(03:10):
on getting rid of FEMA, but they still need some
sort of a mechanism to coordinate federal assistance with the
states that face these disasters that they cannot handle on
their own. So still waiting for a blueprint on what
a new kind of emergency response mechanism would look like
through the Trump administration, but they say any available resources
(03:31):
being put out there.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, And we had this conversation I don't know what
it was, a couple of weeks ago or so. You
brought up some great points about you know, FEMA is
basically a financial mechanism for flows of money to areas
that otherwise, you know, couldn't afford it on their own.
It is interesting that if you go back and you
try to redo FEMA, you're going to actually retrace the
(03:53):
steps of its original creation. But maybe that's the I
guess that's one way to reel it in. But yeah,
I mean, if you go back and do all this
all over again, that's how you ended up with THEMA
in the first place.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Is it not?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Well, it is, but it's also its structure under emergency
management and I'm rather under Homeland security. You know, that
sort of makes it weird. And how things changed since
nine to eleven. And then look, it used to be
FEMA would send out tractor trailer trucks with bags of
ice and cheese sandwiches. Right, They've also moved away from
that to trying to say, all right, let's do everything
(04:28):
possible to open up the walmart, to open up the target,
to get businesses open, and letting the home depot open
and let them just serve the community because their logistics
are better than federal logistics. So that tended to be
the shift and focus for the agency, trying to get
some local entities up and running as quickly as possible.
The old waffle house index right when they say get
(04:50):
the waffle house open, everything's going to be fine.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Coming up in the third hour, Ory's going back to
talk about those signed letters to twelve countries that your
tariff take it or leave it. And the Epstein investigation
is concluded from the FBI and the Justice Department, and
I think he'll be surprised by the findings.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Ory, you'll be back in the third hour, all.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Right, can't have your morning show without your voice. I
think we're starting with Matthew, but I don't know where
Matthew's calling from.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Matthew, is it k talk, say Lewis.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Yeah, good, morning, michaelis So the answer to your question,
and my point of view would be twofold. He hurts
himself and he hurts the country. You know, he's an idiot, savant.
He doesn't comprehend like normal everyday people. Therefore it's wish washy.
But that the issue is is that, like you said,
(05:40):
he created something great and now he's wanted to reinvent
the wheel, but he also sends rockets to the moon
and now going to Mars.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
What the hell?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah, there's no question Elon Musk is a brilliant person.
I think you you know, I talked about this very
unique coalition that I even called an American Party coalition
at one point. I mean, you had Telsey Gabbard, a
Democrat presidential candidate.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
You had Robert F.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Kennedy Junior, a Democrat presidential candidate, not to mention from
the name Camelot Kennedy. It was a unique coalition, and
then you had Elon come on board. By the time
you got to the inauguration, all of big tech was present.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
It really was.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
And it took this kind of a coalition to overcome
the death of journalism and legacy media and it being
rotten to the core it had carried out in twenty twenty,
the ability to control a narrative and then silence any
opposing views because it controlled technocracy and social media. Then
(06:45):
it weaponized COVID, changed election laws without going through state legislatures.
And that's the shadow campaign, quote unquote to save the
democracy and how they stole the election. So this American
coalition had to rise up to make sure it didn't
happen again, and it didn't. So for me, my main
(07:05):
observation is, I can't believe that Elon Musk is this
naive about what he's achieved, this naive about the process
that exists. Heck, Doge wasn't even designed to have achieved
anything by now other than investigate research and make recommendations
(07:29):
for a long term plan. But if I take him
at his word and think of him at his best,
it's he's serious about debt. Well, so is the Tea
Party movement. So are a lot of conservatives, So are
a lot of MAGA followers. They just love Trump more
(07:49):
than they hate that. But there's a process to address that,
and it takes time. You're not running a company where
you can come in as a CEO and just change everything.
So first he has the tantrum and whatever fight he
had with Percent and then a tantrum because Trump didn't
(08:12):
that to me politically, that's unforgivable, the things he said
about Donald Trump online. He's already alienated himself with Trump followers.
He alienated himself with the far left long before that
getting involved in this election process. So the Democrats are
(08:33):
never going to forgive him MAGA. And I don't think
Reagan Revolution type older conservatives. You know, maybe an element
in the Tea Party that may prioritize debt over other things,
but I just don't. I don't see a window politically
to form a party of any kind of consequence, not
(08:54):
even enough to hurt Republicans, to be honest with you,
But I just don't know what to do with him.
How could somebody so smart, I mean, never mind the
space travel even gets the rocket to return and land softly,
(09:18):
and he can't figure out how this is going to
destroy his business opportunities. Read me to joke off the air.
Watch Donald Trump now change his mind about these cheap
evs from China and allow them to be built and
sent over the board. I got news for you. There
are a lot if you want to do an EV
(09:41):
there are a lot of great evs in every brand.
Tesla was just the leader because there's that power of
being first and the power of being trendy and cool. Well,
it's not trendy and cool with the left. We saw
that for months. I'm not sure it's going to be
very trendy and cool on the right either. I don't
(10:05):
see anything other than self destruction for his personal business interests,
and I think his board members are going to make
that clear this week. But I don't see any pathway
for a party of significance. I always say you're the
star of your morning show, and with Mary that's always
(10:25):
the case.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
I don't think Elon Musk stands much of a chance
of creating any type of relevant political party. It almost
sounds like a vanity project. But the last time a
new party came around was the Republicans after the Whigs,
and they had Abraham Lincoln. Elon Musk is not Abraham Lincoln.
(10:48):
Thanks have a great day.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I knew, honest day he was a friend of mine.
You're no, honest day. Well, yeah, it's been a long time.
I mean.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
That's why I quoted Scott Jennings earlier and he'll pop
up in our sounds a day, coming up in twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
It's not it's not easy to start a party. It's
a lot harder than starting a company.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
And what would I mean this is probably more for
like a Wednesday with with our senior contributor David Sonati.
But and how would your platform different differ from the
Republican Party? I mean that that's what the difficult cell
would be. Look, political parties, like all of us as people,
(11:34):
we fail because we don't do what we know, not
because we don't know what to do. I guarantee you
every Republican and every Democrat knows that debt is not good.
It must be a priority, it must be addressed the
different but they don't do it. So you're gonna do
(11:55):
a whole party based on that? With what the notion
you're gonna do it?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
And then what else? And how would that differ?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
And even if you started the party, who would your
candidates be? I mean when Scott Jennings says it's not
easy to start a party. You can start a company,
but to start a political party. That's why I like
what I said in the in the Platinum Hour, the
first hour. Anybody notice we've been in a two party
system for a while, not supposed to be, never intended
(12:26):
to be. We really aren't a two party system, but
that's how we choose to operate. You ever, notice how
many how long it's been since there's been a viable
third party, and he thinks he can do it. Something
tells me when he gets back to the office's board
is gonna have a different view of this. But your
(12:47):
thoughts on Elon Musk and starting a third party, what
does it do to him? Does the party have a chance,
And if it did, you think it would have any effect?
I suspect we could go all three hours and more
gonna think it does.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chano. I never
thought I'd say this as long as I lived.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I think Tom z and Akron Toms Mary is our
caller of the day.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
What we in the grassroots need is Elon Musk and
Nicole Shanahan and some of these other billionaires to support
grassroots efforts to elect independent candidates.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
We don't need a new party or a third party.
We don't want the two parties we've got.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
If we had the money to elect independent candidates who
actually represented us.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
We'd all be a lot better off. Love it, love it.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Don't forget to use that talkback button. For those of
you listening on the iHeart app. That's how you take
your place here at this morning's kitchen table. All right.
Twenty seven minutes after the hour, Donald Trump says he
plans to be in Texas probably Friday, to visit the
state after the catastrophic flash flooding.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Trump told reporters of the Timeline on Sunday, probably on Friday.
Speaker 8 (13:58):
If we wanted to leave a little time, I would
have done today, but it would just be.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
In their way.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Search and recovery efforts continue after catastrophic flooding killed at
least eighty people in central Texas. Depths have been reported
in six counties.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
The NFL's two Texas based teams, the Dallas Cowboys and
the Houston Texans, are joining the NFL Foundation to help
support the families of victims and survivors of the devastating floods.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Lisa Cardon has details.
Speaker 9 (14:21):
The National Football League said Sunday they will contribute one
point five million dollars to provide immediate assistance and long
term resources to those most impacted by the catastrophic flooding.
At least seventy people have been killed and dozens are
missing following the July fourth disaster. I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
President Trump says he signed letters to twelve countries. They
go out today. It's the take it or leave it
tiff offers.
Speaker 10 (14:46):
Treasury Secretary of Scott Benson said tariffs that were paused
for negotiating will take effect on August first for those countries.
Dessont said Trump's letters say that if you don't move
things along, then on August first, you will boomerang back
to a higher terraff level. De'stin addity he expects to
see several big announcements over the next couple of days
about trade deals.
Speaker 9 (15:04):
I'm Tammy Trhio.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Jurassic World Rebirth took a huge jump out of the
box office.
Speaker 11 (15:10):
Fortunately for us, all these species exists in one isolated place.
Speaker 12 (15:15):
The seventh installment to the Dinosaur films, starring Scarlett Johansson
and Mahershela Ali, had its biggest day Saturday since opening Wednesday,
with thirty five point six million. That's upt thirty five
percent from the fourth of July. On Friday, with a
five day total at more than one hundred and forty
five million.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
I'm he's a Taylor.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Well, it turns out an epidural steroid shot with a
giant needle directly into your disc. It's very uncomfortable, I said,
I was looking forward to that more than going to that. No,
I actually found. I found Jurassic World Rebirth good. See
I thought I would. Actually, I actually think it was
(15:53):
the best of all of them I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I give it a highly recommend.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
This is Sean Paul from Vita, Florida, and my morning
show is your Moring show with Nostros.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Don't Joorno, Hey gang, it's me Michael. You can listen
to your morning show live. Make us a part of
your morning routine or your drive to work companion on
great stations like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and
fifteen ten WLAC in Nashville, Tupelow's News and Talk one
oh one point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how
(16:26):
about Talk six to fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love
to have you listen live, but are grateful you're here
now for the podcast.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Enjoy.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
We have the President sending off twelve signed letters. It's
your take it or leave it tariff offers to twelve
different countries. The President slamming Elon Musk's announcement that he's
going to start a third party and third day of
search and rescue operations in Central Texas. At death toll
is now at eighty two ten campers, one councilor still
(16:58):
unaccounted for, about forty in the county still unaccounted for.
I mentioned I don't do well on days like this.
My heart's just too broken for too many people. I
can't imagine that there are parents out there whose daughters
(17:20):
suffered and died in this way. I don't know how
they breathe, and it just it consumes all of my thoughts.
Having said that, there was probably nothing more disgusting than
some of the social media posts, and I'm going to
share a couple of them with you. They really don't
(17:40):
deserve our attention, but just to show that it exists.
One person posted rough Road, Texas, what you're going to
do now? There's no FEMA to pick you up by
your bootstraps. You gave it all to ice. I'm kind
of happy that the National Weather Service gave incorrect predictions
when it came to how much rain would fall, especially
as since the best and brightest from that organization were
(18:03):
let go thanks to Doze and Elon and Trump cry harder.
Texas deserves it. It's not awful, it's what Texas deserves.
Texas deserves every flood God it can give. This one
is as bad as it gets.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Good.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I'm glad did it take Rogan with it too? I
can only hope Texas deserves it. It's God's will, of course,
that's what God would have wanted, right Republicans ha ha,
And the notion that this is what's in people's hearts.
(18:47):
It leaves me.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Speechless, as.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
We have been known to do, trapped in the social
dilemma in the midst to the death of journalism in
a divided nation. We like to form immediate positions. It's
a ready shoot aim style of living. What's fascinating is
(19:18):
is that we take these immediate positions and then even
when we get the information, we remain immovable, which can
only prove that you're more interested in your team or
(19:40):
your division than you are the truth. So independent meteorologists,
a former National Weather Service official, all said the warning
is issued in the run up to the flooding, whereas
timely and as accurate as could be expected with the
weather data that was availed in real time. The difficulty
(20:04):
came in and that it was the middle of the night.
So you're issuing the warnings, but are people receiving them.
We've had last year, we had a couple of tornadoes
in the middle of the night. That's always unsettling. A
you can't see it coming, and B. Many people don't
(20:27):
get the warnings. Could be that you have a setting
off on your phone. Could be that if you're camping
in a location you don't have a signal. Could be
that they don't hear it because they're asleep. There's many
things that go in. In the end, they were expecting
and they predicted flash flooding, but they got more rain
(20:50):
in inches than they predicted, but the warnings still went out.
It's the foolishness that I don't have time for in
the midst of tragedy, but I bring it up because
it is the foolishness that reveals our biggest challenge. Our
(21:15):
biggest enemy is ourselves, and we still haven't solved A.
The social dilemma be the death of journalism and see
the level of matrix hatred that exists, and it's still
(21:36):
our biggest enemy and still our most predictable threat. How
on earth you could put politics over the loss of life,
especially children, is beyond me. I'm with the White House.
(21:59):
It's discussed.
Speaker 13 (22:03):
People who measured an online activision with a minor and
puberty block really a little bit.
Speaker 10 (22:10):
Any of you in the media clearly missed the art
of the.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Dear oh, revealing often entertaining time for your sounds of
the day. This one's a little academic, and it goes
on for a little while. But we talk about narratives
in narrative repeating, not journalism, not truth, not facts, not
(22:34):
understanding narratives and narrative repeating. So here is CNN interviewing
Treasury Secretary Scott Pissent trying to sell the narratives of
the big beautiful bill being nothing more than, of course,
a big Medicare cut for the poor ability.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
How is making cuts on medicaid programs? Well, how does
that and and how it affects the theople who are
at the lowest ranking when it comes to income. How
does that help with the affordability crisis in America.
Speaker 14 (23:05):
Well, first of all, the affordability and saving Medicaid, let's
separate those and only in DC. Only in DC is
a twenty percent hike over ten years a cut, So
Medicaid funding will go up twenty percent over the next
ten years. The people who Medicaid were designed for, the
(23:29):
pregnant women, the disabled, and families with children under fourteen
will be refocused. The able bodied Americans are not vulnerable Americans.
So a work requirement or a community service requirement, that's
very popular with the public, and many state programs.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Have that now Number one. It is hard enough to
keep up with an ever changing world policies. But I
remember this from when Barack Obama was president. I would
watch the president either tell a lie or a distortion,
(24:14):
and he could take five seconds to say it, and
it would take me an hour to correct it and
disprove it. That's the power of these stupid narratives. So
I have people coming up to me all the time,
including my own mother laying in a bed, how's this big,
beautiful bill going to affect me? Because that's the narrative,
(24:41):
and that's the narrative repeating. How many people on social
media are discussing that medicaid is actually going to have
a twenty percent increase over ten years, and that it's
going to be more focused on getting to the people
who have paid into it, or by definition, deserve it,
versus those who've been taking advantage of it fraudulently.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
But we continue these questions like they're real.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
In fact, we spend so much time responding to false
narratives we never get around to explaining the real. Bill.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
I let you go.
Speaker 8 (25:13):
It's not a big secret that you had your differences
with Elon Musk when he was working in the administration,
and he announced this weekend that he is starting a
new political party.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
By the way, I like the way she starts with,
it's no secret you've had your differences. It was a secret.
What do you mean it's a It was a secret.
I never do this, and I'm going to break a
commandment in doing it. But David Zanani and I were
the only two that ever brought this up. I never
saw anybody else bring it up on radio or television.
(25:46):
We got the reports from the Atlantic that they had
gotten in a big fight, a lot of f bombs,
a lot of in your face almost fisticuffs, exchanged between
Scott p Assent and Elon Musk, and then Musk disappears
and we were like, hey, is there something up next?
Speaker 13 (26:07):
Thing?
Speaker 3 (26:07):
You know, after about five days, Elon Musk comes to
the Oval Office and the President does a big thank
you and to goodbye for all of his work, a doge,
and I'm like, nobody's going to acknowledge the fight that
they had.
Speaker 13 (26:19):
Now.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
My speculation was pretty simple. They got a big fight,
and I get it. I think Elon Musk was expecting
the President to take his side, and the President take
either side. And then Musk, after being thanked for his
service and said goodbye to in the Oval Office, goes
off and has what could only be described as a tantrum,
(26:47):
which even included well, don't expect to get to the
bottom of the Epstein files because the president's in there.
I mean, it was just really awful stuff, politically unforgivable stuff.
And now here comes the Third Party, an American party.
An American party, some would argue, was already created through
(27:09):
the most unique of coalitions to former Democrat presidential candidates
joined forces to get Donald Trump elected.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Now they're in his cabinet.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
The notion that Elon Musk, who played such a huge
role by buying X Twitter at the time now X
to block that silencing of any opposing views during an
election process that was huge. Then his role in DOGE
was huge. The fact that he can't see that he's
a part. There's a Democrat Party dissolving right before your eyes,
(27:49):
and you're a part of creating this new American Party,
which I describe as the Reagan Revolution meets the Tea
Party movement meets MAGA and it becomes this new trump
Ism or American Party.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
And now he's going to create a party as if
you can. And it's that easy.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
But I had to stop and just say, don't you
love that? Only CNN, Oh, it's no secret? Is that
to imply to me that they knew about this fight
when only we were talking about it and they weren't.
My wife's suggestion is that the name of his party
ought to be the Muskrats. Maybe they can get Ricky
(28:28):
Ticky tave as they're leading candidate. I don't know, but
I'm starting to smell a rat.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Slipped.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
So the tongue like that at CNN make me question
the role Elon Musk is really trying to play here,
let me rephrase it and restart it. So it's no
secret even though they kept it a secret about the
percent Musk fight.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Here we day.
Speaker 9 (28:50):
Let you go.
Speaker 8 (28:51):
It's not a big secret that you had your differences
with Elon Musk when he was working in the administration,
and he announced this weekend that he is starting a
new pool poitical party. Does that worry that Trump administration?
Speaker 14 (29:03):
Look, the principles of Dosee were very popular. I think
if you looked at the polling, Elon was not. So
I believe that the boards of directors at his various
companies wanted him to come back and run those companies,
which he is better at than anyone. So I imagine that
those board of directors did not like this announcement yesterday,
(29:24):
and we'll be encouraging him to focus on his business activities.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
One the same people that didn't like Elon Musk didn't
like Doge. So he's a little inaccurate there to frame it.
The Doge was very popular, but Elon Musk wasn't. That's
a bit of a cheap shot. Only the left didn't
like Musk and took it out on Tesla, And only
the left didn't like Doge, but he is right, that's
(29:56):
not going to go over big because it's not a
very lucrative choice for him to make for his companies. Now,
the left hand the right are going to hate Tesla. Later,
Scott Jennings joined the conversation, and I love the way
he framed it.
Speaker 8 (30:13):
List when it comes to bankrupting our country and waste
with waste and graft, we live in a one party system,
not a democracy. Today, the America Party is formed to
give you back your freedom. Scott Jennings.
Speaker 11 (30:29):
It's harder than it looks to start a political party,
and you know, we'll see where they go with it.
My humble advice to Elon, who I admire very much,
actually is that you may be dividing the forces of
people who want to save Western civilization to the benefit
of the people who don't. And so to the extent
that this effort would divide conservatives and Republicans against each other,
(30:52):
that would be helpful because it would leave the country
to people who want unfettered immigration, who don't share your
fiscal views, and so on and so forth.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
So we'll see where it goes.
Speaker 11 (31:02):
I sort of hope everybody puts the band back together
the way they head it back in twenty twenty four,
because when everybody was working together, things work quite well.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
That's an interesting take that you're really gonna help. I mean,
if you're true. Look, if Elon Musk and I'm just
taking him at his word, if I hold him in
the highest possible regard, he cares about debt, well, unless
you're delusional. And there hasn't been a new party really
(31:33):
created successfully since the Republican Party following the Whigs. I mean,
you're thinking really highly of yourself. Do you think you
can start a legitimate party? I say you're blind to
the most powerful statement, which is you've already been a part,
a big part of forming an American party. This Reagan
(31:58):
Revolution meets Tea Party meets trump Ism becomes this. And
if your focus is the debt, you're only going to
hurt the people trying to cut the debt that are
more realistic about how long it takes and the process.
(32:19):
I mean, those should just be recommendations at this point,
let alone. He should be unsatisfied that it isn't enough.
As for James Carville, well, he believes this is the
beginning of the end for the Republicans. Starting with the midterms.
Speaker 13 (32:38):
We got the starting candidates also in Virginia and New Jersey.
And I think he's going to see this big, beautiful
bill is about twenty five points underwater. It's going to
be thirty points underwater. He's going to see a massive
defeat coming, and he's going to try to do anything
he can to extricate himself in at defeat. And I
would not put it at all pass him to try
to call martial law. It does some kind of national emergence.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
There we go again with the Great Boogeyman and the
Great fear card. Meanwhile, from the Federalist editor in chief,
Molly hemingways See said a little different.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
Washington Post puts it this way.
Speaker 15 (33:14):
History and dismal public pullings suggests President Trump's three point
three trillion dollars tax bill, approved by Congress Thursday, could
help Democrats win back the House in the twenty twenty
six midterm elections. By it's always a tough midterm election
for the president.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
In power, that's true.
Speaker 16 (33:28):
But you also have the situation where every single Democrat
in Congress voted to raise taxes, a massive tax increase.
Because this bill perpetuates the tax belief that happened in.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Those last two sounds prove is the two party system
is still in effect.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
And it also proves that I'm with tom Z and Acron.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
We really needed these billionaires to give money to really
independent candidates who will stay focused on the issues. Everybody, Look,
you just got to try harder to go after the
opportunity for a brief Civics lessons.
Speaker 12 (34:02):
Perhaps you'd like to be alone with your RAS a
deteriorating mental condition.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Vindeld Journo
Hi.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I'm Michael del jorno, and your morning show can be
heard live as it's happening five to eight am Central
and six to nine Eastern on great stations like six
twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or Akrons, News Talk six
forty WHLO and Akron, Ohio and News Radio five seventy
WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part
of your morning routine, but we're glad you're here now.
(00:22):
Enjoy the podcast a new way.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Of understanding because we're in this together.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
This is your morning show with Michael o'del Truman session,
family slide over, a little bit mikeroom for some people
here at the table.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
We're entering Buffalo, New York.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I want to welcome twelve seventy am, The Patriot wus W,
Buffalo's conservative talk to the your morning show family, and
the great seven ninety k NST and Tucson, Arizona. We
just kicked get happier and bigger every day. Welcome Buffalo,
I know mine. Welcome Buffalo, Welcome Tucson. This is your
(01:00):
morning show. Eight minutes after the hour, President Trump has
signed letters to twelve countries. We believe this is the
take it or leave it tariff offers. Israel set a
team of negotiators to Cutter for talks with Hamas on
a ceasefire. And it's the third day of search and
rescue operations in the flash flood zone of central Texas,
where now the death toll has risen to eighty two,
(01:21):
still ten campers and one councilor unaccounted for, and I
believe upwards of forty unaccounted for in the county. Your
morning show national correspondent Roy O'Neil is here with the
very latest rory. This is almost just too painful for
any one person to take in.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Isn't it.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
It really is, And you know, the sun coming up
in Texas, it's going to obviously help with rescue operations.
But we've got local, federal, state all out there trying
to do this all out effort to try to find
anyone who may still have survived this catastrophe that seems
to just be a confluence of terrible events, the timing
of when it happened, the location of some of these
(02:01):
camps where the rainfall came down along the Guadalupe River
and its contributaries.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
It just seems to be an awful series of events. Yeah,
and now we're.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Starting to see pictures of some of the children being identified,
and these are beautiful, beautiful, young little girls. And every
parent's instinct, of course, is to protect their children. And
I just can't imagine the level of pain and grief
knowing how scared they must have been, or how horrific
the end may have come. It's just like I said,
(02:32):
it's just too much for any one individual to take in.
Let's talk about the President. He definitely responded to Governor
Abbott's call for disaster relief and as well as plans
to visit for later.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
In the week. Right.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
I think he's tentatively planning to visit on Friday. Of course,
there is more rain than the forecast happening today, so
you just put a peenia on Friday. But we'll see
how it actually happens. He has promised full federal support.
Still raises the question he was asked about it last
night in terms of well, if you're going to get
rid of FEMA, how is this going to work? So
they still need to develop some I understand their intent
(03:10):
on getting rid of FEMA, but they still need some
sort of a mechanism to coordinate federal assistance with the
states that face these disasters that they cannot handle on
their own. So still waiting for a blueprint on what
a new kind of emergency response mechanism would look like
through the Trump administration, but they say any available resources
(03:31):
being put out there.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, And we had this conversation I don't know what
it was, a couple of weeks ago or so. You
brought up some great points about you know, FEMA is
basically a financial mechanism for flows of money to areas
that otherwise, you know, couldn't afford it on their own.
It is interesting that if you go back and you
try to redo FEMA, you're going to actually retrace the
(03:53):
steps of its original creation. But maybe that's the I
guess that's one way to reel it in. But yeah,
I mean, if you go back and do all this
all over again, that's how you ended up with THEMA
in the first place.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Is it not?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Well, it is, but it's also its structure under emergency
management and I'm rather under Homeland security. You know, that
sort of makes it weird. And how things changed since
nine to eleven. And then look, it used to be
FEMA would send out tractor trailer trucks with bags of
ice and cheese sandwiches. Right, They've also moved away from
that to trying to say, all right, let's do everything
(04:28):
possible to open up the walmart, to open up the target,
to get businesses open, and letting the home depot open
and let them just serve the community because their logistics
are better than federal logistics. So that tended to be
the shift and focus for the agency, trying to get
some local entities up and running as quickly as possible.
The old waffle house index right when they say get
(04:50):
the waffle house open, everything's going to be fine.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Coming up in the third hour, Ory's going back to
talk about those signed letters to twelve countries that your
tariff take it or leave it. And the Epstein investigation
is concluded from the FBI and the Justice Department, and
I think he'll be surprised by the findings.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Ory, you'll be back in the third hour, all.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Right, can't have your morning show without your voice. I
think we're starting with Matthew, but I don't know where
Matthew's calling from.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Matthew, is it k talk, say Lewis.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Yeah, good, morning, michaelis So the answer to your question,
and my point of view would be twofold. He hurts
himself and he hurts the country. You know, he's an idiot, savant.
He doesn't comprehend like normal everyday people. Therefore it's wish washy.
But that the issue is is that, like you said,
(05:40):
he created something great and now he's wanted to reinvent
the wheel, but he also sends rockets to the moon
and now going to Mars.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
What the hell?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah, there's no question Elon Musk is a brilliant person.
I think you you know, I talked about this very
unique coalition that I even called an American Party coalition
at one point. I mean, you had Telsey Gabbard, a
Democrat presidential candidate.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
You had Robert F.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Kennedy Junior, a Democrat presidential candidate, not to mention from
the name Camelot Kennedy. It was a unique coalition, and
then you had Elon come on board. By the time
you got to the inauguration, all of big tech was present.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
It really was.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
And it took this kind of a coalition to overcome
the death of journalism and legacy media and it being
rotten to the core it had carried out in twenty twenty,
the ability to control a narrative and then silence any
opposing views because it controlled technocracy and social media. Then
(06:45):
it weaponized COVID, changed election laws without going through state legislatures.
And that's the shadow campaign, quote unquote to save the
democracy and how they stole the election. So this American
coalition had to rise up to make sure it didn't
happen again, and it didn't. So for me, my main
(07:05):
observation is, I can't believe that Elon Musk is this
naive about what he's achieved, this naive about the process
that exists. Heck, Doge wasn't even designed to have achieved
anything by now other than investigate research and make recommendations
(07:29):
for a long term plan. But if I take him
at his word and think of him at his best,
it's he's serious about debt. Well, so is the Tea
Party movement. So are a lot of conservatives, So are
a lot of MAGA followers. They just love Trump more
(07:49):
than they hate that. But there's a process to address that,
and it takes time. You're not running a company where
you can come in as a CEO and just change everything.
So first he has the tantrum and whatever fight he
had with Percent and then a tantrum because Trump didn't
(08:12):
that to me politically, that's unforgivable, the things he said
about Donald Trump online. He's already alienated himself with Trump followers.
He alienated himself with the far left long before that
getting involved in this election process. So the Democrats are
(08:33):
never going to forgive him MAGA. And I don't think
Reagan Revolution type older conservatives. You know, maybe an element
in the Tea Party that may prioritize debt over other things,
but I just don't. I don't see a window politically
to form a party of any kind of consequence, not
(08:54):
even enough to hurt Republicans, to be honest with you,
But I just don't know what to do with him.
How could somebody so smart, I mean, never mind the
space travel even gets the rocket to return and land softly,
(09:18):
and he can't figure out how this is going to
destroy his business opportunities. Read me to joke off the air.
Watch Donald Trump now change his mind about these cheap
evs from China and allow them to be built and
sent over the board. I got news for you. There
are a lot if you want to do an EV
(09:41):
there are a lot of great evs in every brand.
Tesla was just the leader because there's that power of
being first and the power of being trendy and cool. Well,
it's not trendy and cool with the left. We saw
that for months. I'm not sure it's going to be
very trendy and cool on the right either. I don't
(10:05):
see anything other than self destruction for his personal business interests,
and I think his board members are going to make
that clear this week. But I don't see any pathway
for a party of significance. I always say you're the
star of your morning show, and with Mary that's always
(10:25):
the case.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
I don't think Elon Musk stands much of a chance
of creating any type of relevant political party. It almost
sounds like a vanity project. But the last time a
new party came around was the Republicans after the Whigs,
and they had Abraham Lincoln. Elon Musk is not Abraham Lincoln.
(10:48):
Thanks have a great day.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I knew, honest day he was a friend of mine.
You're no, honest day. Well, yeah, it's been a long time.
I mean.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
That's why I quoted Scott Jennings earlier and he'll pop
up in our sounds a day, coming up in twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
It's not it's not easy to start a party. It's
a lot harder than starting a company.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
And what would I mean this is probably more for
like a Wednesday with with our senior contributor David Sonati.
But and how would your platform different differ from the
Republican Party? I mean that that's what the difficult cell
would be. Look, political parties, like all of us as people,
(11:34):
we fail because we don't do what we know, not
because we don't know what to do. I guarantee you
every Republican and every Democrat knows that debt is not good.
It must be a priority, it must be addressed the
different but they don't do it. So you're gonna do
(11:55):
a whole party based on that? With what the notion
you're gonna do it?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
And then what else? And how would that differ?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
And even if you started the party, who would your
candidates be? I mean when Scott Jennings says it's not
easy to start a party. You can start a company,
but to start a political party. That's why I like
what I said in the in the Platinum Hour, the
first hour. Anybody notice we've been in a two party
system for a while, not supposed to be, never intended
(12:26):
to be. We really aren't a two party system, but
that's how we choose to operate. You ever, notice how
many how long it's been since there's been a viable
third party, and he thinks he can do it. Something
tells me when he gets back to the office's board
is gonna have a different view of this. But your
(12:47):
thoughts on Elon Musk and starting a third party, what
does it do to him? Does the party have a chance,
And if it did, you think it would have any effect?
I suspect we could go all three hours and more
gonna think it does.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chano. I never
thought I'd say this as long as I lived.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I think Tom z and Akron Toms Mary is our
caller of the day.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
What we in the grassroots need is Elon Musk and
Nicole Shanahan and some of these other billionaires to support
grassroots efforts to elect independent candidates.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
We don't need a new party or a third party.
We don't want the two parties we've got.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
If we had the money to elect independent candidates who
actually represented us.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
We'd all be a lot better off. Love it, love it.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Don't forget to use that talkback button. For those of
you listening on the iHeart app. That's how you take
your place here at this morning's kitchen table. All right.
Twenty seven minutes after the hour, Donald Trump says he
plans to be in Texas probably Friday, to visit the
state after the catastrophic flash flooding.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Trump told reporters of the Timeline on Sunday, probably on Friday.
Speaker 8 (13:58):
If we wanted to leave a little time, I would
have done today, but it would just be.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
In their way.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Search and recovery efforts continue after catastrophic flooding killed at
least eighty people in central Texas. Depths have been reported
in six counties.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
The NFL's two Texas based teams, the Dallas Cowboys and
the Houston Texans, are joining the NFL Foundation to help
support the families of victims and survivors of the devastating floods.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Lisa Cardon has details.
Speaker 9 (14:21):
The National Football League said Sunday they will contribute one
point five million dollars to provide immediate assistance and long
term resources to those most impacted by the catastrophic flooding.
At least seventy people have been killed and dozens are
missing following the July fourth disaster. I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
President Trump says he signed letters to twelve countries. They
go out today. It's the take it or leave it
tiff offers.
Speaker 10 (14:46):
Treasury Secretary of Scott Benson said tariffs that were paused
for negotiating will take effect on August first for those countries.
Dessont said Trump's letters say that if you don't move
things along, then on August first, you will boomerang back
to a higher terraff level. De'stin addity he expects to
see several big announcements over the next couple of days
about trade deals.
Speaker 9 (15:04):
I'm Tammy Trhio.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Jurassic World Rebirth took a huge jump out of the
box office.
Speaker 11 (15:10):
Fortunately for us, all these species exists in one isolated place.
Speaker 12 (15:15):
The seventh installment to the Dinosaur films, starring Scarlett Johansson
and Mahershela Ali, had its biggest day Saturday since opening Wednesday,
with thirty five point six million. That's upt thirty five
percent from the fourth of July. On Friday, with a
five day total at more than one hundred and forty
five million.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
I'm he's a Taylor.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Well, it turns out an epidural steroid shot with a
giant needle directly into your disc. It's very uncomfortable, I said,
I was looking forward to that more than going to that. No,
I actually found. I found Jurassic World Rebirth good. See
I thought I would. Actually, I actually think it was
(15:53):
the best of all of them I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I give it a highly recommend.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
This is Sean Paul from Vita, Florida, and my morning
show is your Moring show with Nostros.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Don't Joorno, Hey gang, it's me Michael. You can listen
to your morning show live. Make us a part of
your morning routine or your drive to work companion on
great stations like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and
fifteen ten WLAC in Nashville, Tupelow's News and Talk one
oh one point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how
(16:26):
about Talk six to fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love
to have you listen live, but are grateful you're here
now for the podcast.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Enjoy.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
We have the President sending off twelve signed letters. It's
your take it or leave it tariff offers to twelve
different countries. The President slamming Elon Musk's announcement that he's
going to start a third party and third day of
search and rescue operations in Central Texas. At death toll
is now at eighty two ten campers, one councilor still
(16:58):
unaccounted for, about forty in the county still unaccounted for.
I mentioned I don't do well on days like this.
My heart's just too broken for too many people. I
can't imagine that there are parents out there whose daughters
(17:20):
suffered and died in this way. I don't know how
they breathe, and it just it consumes all of my thoughts.
Having said that, there was probably nothing more disgusting than
some of the social media posts, and I'm going to
share a couple of them with you. They really don't
(17:40):
deserve our attention, but just to show that it exists.
One person posted rough Road, Texas, what you're going to
do now? There's no FEMA to pick you up by
your bootstraps. You gave it all to ice. I'm kind
of happy that the National Weather Service gave incorrect predictions
when it came to how much rain would fall, especially
as since the best and brightest from that organization were
(18:03):
let go thanks to Doze and Elon and Trump cry harder.
Texas deserves it. It's not awful, it's what Texas deserves.
Texas deserves every flood God it can give. This one
is as bad as it gets.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Good.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I'm glad did it take Rogan with it too? I
can only hope Texas deserves it. It's God's will, of course,
that's what God would have wanted, right Republicans ha ha,
And the notion that this is what's in people's hearts.
(18:47):
It leaves me.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Speechless, as.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
We have been known to do, trapped in the social
dilemma in the midst to the death of journalism in
a divided nation. We like to form immediate positions. It's
a ready shoot aim style of living. What's fascinating is
(19:18):
is that we take these immediate positions and then even
when we get the information, we remain immovable, which can
only prove that you're more interested in your team or
(19:40):
your division than you are the truth. So independent meteorologists,
a former National Weather Service official, all said the warning
is issued in the run up to the flooding, whereas
timely and as accurate as could be expected with the
weather data that was availed in real time. The difficulty
(20:04):
came in and that it was the middle of the night.
So you're issuing the warnings, but are people receiving them.
We've had last year, we had a couple of tornadoes
in the middle of the night. That's always unsettling. A
you can't see it coming, and B. Many people don't
(20:27):
get the warnings. Could be that you have a setting
off on your phone. Could be that if you're camping
in a location you don't have a signal. Could be
that they don't hear it because they're asleep. There's many
things that go in. In the end, they were expecting
and they predicted flash flooding, but they got more rain
(20:50):
in inches than they predicted, but the warnings still went out.
It's the foolishness that I don't have time for in
the midst of tragedy, but I bring it up because
it is the foolishness that reveals our biggest challenge. Our
(21:15):
biggest enemy is ourselves, and we still haven't solved A.
The social dilemma be the death of journalism and see
the level of matrix hatred that exists, and it's still
(21:36):
our biggest enemy and still our most predictable threat. How
on earth you could put politics over the loss of life,
especially children, is beyond me. I'm with the White House.
(21:59):
It's discussed.
Speaker 13 (22:03):
People who measured an online activision with a minor and
puberty block really a little bit.
Speaker 10 (22:10):
Any of you in the media clearly missed the art
of the.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Dear oh, revealing often entertaining time for your sounds of
the day. This one's a little academic, and it goes
on for a little while. But we talk about narratives
in narrative repeating, not journalism, not truth, not facts, not
(22:34):
understanding narratives and narrative repeating. So here is CNN interviewing
Treasury Secretary Scott Pissent trying to sell the narratives of
the big beautiful bill being nothing more than, of course,
a big Medicare cut for the poor ability.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
How is making cuts on medicaid programs? Well, how does
that and and how it affects the theople who are
at the lowest ranking when it comes to income. How
does that help with the affordability crisis in America.
Speaker 14 (23:05):
Well, first of all, the affordability and saving Medicaid, let's
separate those and only in DC. Only in DC is
a twenty percent hike over ten years a cut, So
Medicaid funding will go up twenty percent over the next
ten years. The people who Medicaid were designed for, the
(23:29):
pregnant women, the disabled, and families with children under fourteen
will be refocused. The able bodied Americans are not vulnerable Americans.
So a work requirement or a community service requirement, that's
very popular with the public, and many state programs.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Have that now Number one. It is hard enough to
keep up with an ever changing world policies. But I
remember this from when Barack Obama was president. I would
watch the president either tell a lie or a distortion,
(24:14):
and he could take five seconds to say it, and
it would take me an hour to correct it and
disprove it. That's the power of these stupid narratives. So
I have people coming up to me all the time,
including my own mother laying in a bed, how's this big,
beautiful bill going to affect me? Because that's the narrative,
(24:41):
and that's the narrative repeating. How many people on social
media are discussing that medicaid is actually going to have
a twenty percent increase over ten years, and that it's
going to be more focused on getting to the people
who have paid into it, or by definition, deserve it,
versus those who've been taking advantage of it fraudulently.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
But we continue these questions like they're real.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
In fact, we spend so much time responding to false
narratives we never get around to explaining the real. Bill.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
I let you go.
Speaker 8 (25:13):
It's not a big secret that you had your differences
with Elon Musk when he was working in the administration,
and he announced this weekend that he is starting a
new political party.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
By the way, I like the way she starts with,
it's no secret you've had your differences. It was a secret.
What do you mean it's a It was a secret.
I never do this, and I'm going to break a
commandment in doing it. But David Zanani and I were
the only two that ever brought this up. I never
saw anybody else bring it up on radio or television.
(25:46):
We got the reports from the Atlantic that they had
gotten in a big fight, a lot of f bombs,
a lot of in your face almost fisticuffs, exchanged between
Scott p Assent and Elon Musk, and then Musk disappears
and we were like, hey, is there something up next?
Speaker 13 (26:07):
Thing?
Speaker 3 (26:07):
You know, after about five days, Elon Musk comes to
the Oval Office and the President does a big thank
you and to goodbye for all of his work, a doge,
and I'm like, nobody's going to acknowledge the fight that
they had.
Speaker 13 (26:19):
Now.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
My speculation was pretty simple. They got a big fight,
and I get it. I think Elon Musk was expecting
the President to take his side, and the President take
either side. And then Musk, after being thanked for his
service and said goodbye to in the Oval Office, goes
off and has what could only be described as a tantrum,
(26:47):
which even included well, don't expect to get to the
bottom of the Epstein files because the president's in there.
I mean, it was just really awful stuff, politically unforgivable stuff.
And now here comes the Third Party, an American party.
An American party, some would argue, was already created through
(27:09):
the most unique of coalitions to former Democrat presidential candidates
joined forces to get Donald Trump elected.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Now they're in his cabinet.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
The notion that Elon Musk, who played such a huge
role by buying X Twitter at the time now X
to block that silencing of any opposing views during an
election process that was huge. Then his role in DOGE
was huge. The fact that he can't see that he's
a part. There's a Democrat Party dissolving right before your eyes,
(27:49):
and you're a part of creating this new American Party,
which I describe as the Reagan Revolution meets the Tea
Party movement meets MAGA and it becomes this new trump
Ism or American Party.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
And now he's going to create a party as if
you can. And it's that easy.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
But I had to stop and just say, don't you
love that? Only CNN, Oh, it's no secret? Is that
to imply to me that they knew about this fight
when only we were talking about it and they weren't.
My wife's suggestion is that the name of his party
ought to be the Muskrats. Maybe they can get Ricky
(28:28):
Ticky tave as they're leading candidate. I don't know, but
I'm starting to smell a rat.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Slipped.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
So the tongue like that at CNN make me question
the role Elon Musk is really trying to play here,
let me rephrase it and restart it. So it's no
secret even though they kept it a secret about the
percent Musk fight.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Here we day.
Speaker 9 (28:50):
Let you go.
Speaker 8 (28:51):
It's not a big secret that you had your differences
with Elon Musk when he was working in the administration,
and he announced this weekend that he is starting a
new pool poitical party. Does that worry that Trump administration?
Speaker 14 (29:03):
Look, the principles of Dosee were very popular. I think
if you looked at the polling, Elon was not. So
I believe that the boards of directors at his various
companies wanted him to come back and run those companies,
which he is better at than anyone. So I imagine that
those board of directors did not like this announcement yesterday,
(29:24):
and we'll be encouraging him to focus on his business activities.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
One the same people that didn't like Elon Musk didn't
like Doge. So he's a little inaccurate there to frame it.
The Doge was very popular, but Elon Musk wasn't. That's
a bit of a cheap shot. Only the left didn't
like Musk and took it out on Tesla, And only
the left didn't like Doge, but he is right, that's
(29:56):
not going to go over big because it's not a
very lucrative choice for him to make for his companies. Now,
the left hand the right are going to hate Tesla. Later,
Scott Jennings joined the conversation, and I love the way
he framed it.
Speaker 8 (30:13):
List when it comes to bankrupting our country and waste
with waste and graft, we live in a one party system,
not a democracy. Today, the America Party is formed to
give you back your freedom. Scott Jennings.
Speaker 11 (30:29):
It's harder than it looks to start a political party,
and you know, we'll see where they go with it.
My humble advice to Elon, who I admire very much,
actually is that you may be dividing the forces of
people who want to save Western civilization to the benefit
of the people who don't. And so to the extent
that this effort would divide conservatives and Republicans against each other,
(30:52):
that would be helpful because it would leave the country
to people who want unfettered immigration, who don't share your
fiscal views, and so on and so forth.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
So we'll see where it goes.
Speaker 11 (31:02):
I sort of hope everybody puts the band back together
the way they head it back in twenty twenty four,
because when everybody was working together, things work quite well.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
That's an interesting take that you're really gonna help. I mean,
if you're true. Look, if Elon Musk and I'm just
taking him at his word, if I hold him in
the highest possible regard, he cares about debt, well, unless
you're delusional. And there hasn't been a new party really
(31:33):
created successfully since the Republican Party following the Whigs. I mean,
you're thinking really highly of yourself. Do you think you
can start a legitimate party? I say you're blind to
the most powerful statement, which is you've already been a part,
a big part of forming an American party. This Reagan
(31:58):
Revolution meets Tea Party meets trump Ism becomes this. And
if your focus is the debt, you're only going to
hurt the people trying to cut the debt that are
more realistic about how long it takes and the process.
(32:19):
I mean, those should just be recommendations at this point,
let alone. He should be unsatisfied that it isn't enough.
As for James Carville, well, he believes this is the
beginning of the end for the Republicans. Starting with the midterms.
Speaker 13 (32:38):
We got the starting candidates also in Virginia and New Jersey.
And I think he's going to see this big, beautiful
bill is about twenty five points underwater. It's going to
be thirty points underwater. He's going to see a massive
defeat coming, and he's going to try to do anything
he can to extricate himself in at defeat. And I
would not put it at all pass him to try
to call martial law. It does some kind of national emergence.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
There we go again with the Great Boogeyman and the
Great fear card. Meanwhile, from the Federalist editor in chief,
Molly hemingways See said a little different.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
Washington Post puts it this way.
Speaker 15 (33:14):
History and dismal public pullings suggests President Trump's three point
three trillion dollars tax bill, approved by Congress Thursday, could
help Democrats win back the House in the twenty twenty
six midterm elections. By it's always a tough midterm election
for the president.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
In power, that's true.
Speaker 16 (33:28):
But you also have the situation where every single Democrat
in Congress voted to raise taxes, a massive tax increase.
Because this bill perpetuates the tax belief that happened in.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Those last two sounds prove is the two party system
is still in effect.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
And it also proves that I'm with tom Z and Acron.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
We really needed these billionaires to give money to really
independent candidates who will stay focused on the issues. Everybody, Look,
you just got to try harder to go after the
opportunity for a brief Civics lessons.
Speaker 12 (34:02):
Perhaps you'd like to be alone with your RAS a
deteriorating mental condition.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
