Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern in great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
Drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Two three starting your morning off right, A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding because we're in
the stage.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del jorn From
the bottom of my cup of coffee to the top
of yours, top of the morning to you, Good morning,
Welcome to Tuesday, July the ninth year of Our Lord,
twenty twenty four on the aeron streaming.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
On your iHeartRadio app. This is your Morning Show on
Michael del JORNA one chance to live this day, one
chance to understand it, and we have a lot to understand,
all right. The drip, drip drip on Joe Biden. It's
a real thing, and yesterday there was a lot of dripping.
First of the rips came in the White House news
(01:04):
conference press conference and cringe. Jeanpierre had a very outraged
media waiting for her and they all wanted an explanation
for why a neurologist leaked by the way, by the
New York Times, had visited eight times in eight months.
(01:24):
She clearly wasn't prepared for this, and that's why it
sounded like this.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Wait, wait, wait, wait a second. Wait once.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
By the way, she's famous for turning in the book
to give the pre prepared answer. There was no page
for this. So sometimes you'll wonder if the wait, wait,
wait was while I figure out my spin here in regards.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Hold on a second.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
You should be able to answer by this point.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Wait no, no, no, no, no no no, wait a minute,
please a little respect here, please. So every year around
the president's physical examination, he sees a neurologist. That's three times, right,
So I am telling you that he has seen or
(02:16):
a neurologists three times while he has been in this presidency.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
The problem with that is an annual physical is once
a year. The neurologist who's now identified as Kevin Cannard
visited eight times in eight months. That's why they keep
coming back at her.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
I am telling you that he has seen them three times.
That is what I'm sharing with you, right, So every
time he has a physical, he has had to see
a neurologist.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
So that is answering that question. No, it is. It
is you're asking.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
I also said to you, Ed, I also said to you,
for security reasons, we cannot share names.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
So on the fact that he used the name, the
point of his question was, it's not an annual physical.
If he's coming monthly eight times in eight months, we.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Cannot share names.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
We have to we have to would have met with
We can't regards if we cannot share. We cannot share
names a specialist broadly from a dermatologist to a neurologist,
we cannot share names.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
There are security reasons we have to.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
We have to product. I understand that.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
I hear you. I hear you.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
I cannot from here confirm any of that because we
have to keep their privacy.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
I think they would appreciate that too. We have to
give them.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
We have to keep their privacy public.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
I hear you. I answer you.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Guys, guys, guys, Hold on a second. There's no reason
to get back and go back and forth, and me
in this aggressive way missed around here about how information
has been shared with the press.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
For why do you missed the maout?
Speaker 5 (04:04):
He just asked about what do you And then every
time I come back and I answer the question that
you guys asked, I never answered the question incorrectly. That
is not true. I was asked about a medical exam.
I was asked about a physical that was in the
line of question that I answered.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I don't think there's many Americans that think the White
House has been transparent, let alone very truthful. And as
the drip drip drip goes, well, the New York Times
took the President out by the knees. So if you
don't want to take the subtle, nuanced notions of dropping
(04:39):
out of the race, they're obviously going to play rougher
and rougher and rougher. And yesterday's roughness led to the
revelation a neurologist has visited eight times in eight months now.
A separate neurologist, this was also released online, gave his
assessment because it is a clinical diagnosis, therefore it can
(05:00):
be diagnosed from viewing. It's not a blood test. This
particular neurologist, not the one that visited the White House
eight times in eight months, said the President undoubtedly has
Parkinson's disease and is increasingly suffering from Parkinson's dementia. Now
(05:25):
this should make sense to everybody, but watch how he
explains one that we all notice some I hope not
all of you listening make fun of, but his odd gait,
especially when he runs. What makes it odd is Parkinson's,
the neurologistays, the absence of associated movements, facial expressions, and
(05:47):
arms swinging. When he does swing his arms, it appears stilted,
probably because his handlers have told him, swing your arms.
Makes some faces now and then, which even adds to
the awkwardness. The neurologist explains, this is something we do naturally,
but it goes away in Parkinson's disease, and with it
(06:09):
gay instability, the shuffle, the stiffness, the lack of arm movement,
the soft voice on and off periods, times when the
medication seems to be working well in times when it's not.
If you give too much, you get that blank look
(06:31):
to little medication, he starts having resting tremors. Now, whether
you take this neurologist's word for it or not, does
the president have Parkinson's disease and increasingly suffering from Parkinson's dementia.
I think it resonates with a lot of our view
(06:53):
and notions, especially those of us with parents who have
suffered with these things. But if nothing else, the White
House has its handful with the New York Times taking
out the President with eight visits in eight months from
a Parkinson's neurologist specialist that wouldn't be associated with just
(07:14):
the physical and then we wait hours for the White
House to release a formal statement from the president's doctor
and he reiterates it's just a part of his annual
physical You don't have eight annual physicals in eight months.
This is a really bad drip, drip drip. Now, as
we keep reiterating, if the media is going to be
this diligent in burying the president, you ought to beg
(07:34):
the question, what was their role in covering for the
president for the last four years? So they've been doing
their job for about five days. What were they doing
the previous four years? Note the death of journalism. In
the midst of all of this, the President remains defiant.
On the Morning Joe, not very cognitively aware. He says,
(07:55):
if somebody wants to take me on, come take me on.
Run for president. Well, you have the delegates secure, and
other than death, you would have to release them. No
one can just take you on. But it was a
sign I guess at defiance. How long can that defiance
hang on? And how rough does the drip drip drip
plan to get? Another big bombshell yesterday? Was the radio
host in Philadelphia fired for using the pre prepared questions
(08:18):
given to her by the Biden campaign? And how did
the president do with these pre prepared softball questions?
Speaker 6 (08:24):
By the way, I'm proud and as I said, the
first vice president, first black woman with a black president all,
the first black woman in the Supreme Court, and there's
just so much.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
He was the first black female vice president. That's how
well he did. All Right, this is a very interesting
two more interesting stories just to kind of wrap this
all up with Joe Biden. Senator John Tester, he's a
Democrat in Montana. He's very vulnerable in this election cycle.
So what you're seeing is a lot of Democrats who
(08:59):
are up for election who are very secure coming out
and support the president. Those that are vulnerable and know,
because remember what our question was yesterday, how do you
lose the presidency? If he remains defiant and doesn't step
down without losing the Senate with it. And if you're
John Tester, you lose everything. You lose all of your power,
(09:21):
your seat, and your future because this guy won't step down.
That's basically what Senator John Tester said yesterday. Biden needs
to prove his ability to serve a second term in
the White House. He joined a group of Democrat lawmakers
scrutinizing the President after a lackluster debate performance last month.
I guess they could add to that now a neurologi's
(09:42):
visit eight times in eight months. Tester's quote, President Biden
must prove to the American people, including me, that he's
up for the job for another four years. So if
you think the media is in a full court press
to shove Joe off the scene, now some lawmakers who
(10:02):
might go down with them are about to add to
that pressure. Finally, in the midst of all of this,
two things one. What's best for America, not the Democrat Party,
(10:27):
Not Democrat control of the Senate, not a chance for
the Democrats to get control of the House and have
their agenda be the agenda of America. We are America,
we are Americans. If we have an ill president that
should be unacceptable. Doesn't mean there's going to be a
power takeover. It would just mean the vice president would
(10:50):
rise to the presidency. Now that doesn't make me feel
any better because it's Kamala Harris, but it's still the
right thing for America. In fact, on our talkback line,
we got this message earlier.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
Hey, what happened to the twenty fifth amendment?
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Option? Is that off the table?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I mean, what does it say? The Today's story is
one vulnerable senator who's likely to go down with Joe
Biden if he stays on the ticket, saying, come on,
you got to prove to the American people, including me,
that you're up for the job. No, you're a United
States senator. Where are all the Democrat, independent, Republican senators
(11:34):
and members of the House to discuss the twenty fifth
Amendment that a sitting president may be unfit to serve
his term and the divided states of America and the
polarized matrix afar left and far right, And I guess
we'd throw in centralized government slash swamp slash power hungry
(11:59):
career politicians. It rarely even comes up. Focus is just
about the election and their power, not the presidency, not
the security of the American people. Well, the twenty fifth
Amendment is there? Why no one's bringing it up? Is
very revealing. And then the second last is in the
(12:23):
midst of all of this, what are they really up to? Well,
Chucky Schumer and a bunch of Democrats are working to
advanced legislation to strip former President Trump of his immunity
he was granted under the recent Supreme Court ruling protecting
(12:46):
official acts. By taking all of the things that he
did on January sixth and prior and having them all
ruled unofficial acts. Therefore, he could still face legal ramifications.
Now several things. And I'm already at time. Yes, they
(13:09):
are obsessed with Donald Trump. Yes, no one's more unhinged
than the left. Yes, they have no respect for the
separation of powers or the Supreme Court. Nor does Joe
whatever his cognitive abilities are. We saw that with the
student loan pandering. But if this party, who says democracy
(13:34):
is at stake all the time really cared about democracy,
isn't it obvious democracy is their power. The Democrat Party platform,
only Democrat Party candidates, only the Democrat Party's worldview and
vision and policy view for America and anyone who opposes it,
including the Supreme Court or you. The voters are nothing
(13:56):
more than in the way, and they don't respect you,
they don't ignore. What a disrespect to the Supreme Court
and what another desperate attempt to keep anything but you
showing up on election day and deciding who your president is.
It's just shameless and pathetic. But it all seems to
(14:22):
in a drip drip drip be blowing up in their
face that hope could be hope. But it's going to
take and aware America to see that the very media
(14:42):
now that is coming to the rescue to hold Joe
accountable was the same one that was covering for him
for four years. You're supposed to be the top priority.
All evidence points to you're the least priority. And that's
our one on one time for Tuesday, July the ninth,
(15:04):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Deltrona. Well, yesterday
was all drip, drip, drip. Why was in neurologist at
the White House eight times in eight months? He never
got a straight answer from cringe On Pierre or really
from the White House physician. Later that night, in a
White House release statement, because it just doesn't make sense
if it's just a part of his annual physical Why
(15:25):
eight times in eight months, nobody has monthly annual physicals.
Whether or not the President is going to host the
high stakes NATO summit in Washington this week, is he
up to the task. It'll mark the seventy fifth anniversary
of the Alliance. Meanwhile, we've been saying is it denial
or defiance? Yesterday it was defiance. The President says he's
(15:46):
not going anywhere. Therefore, we expect the pressure to mount
even further today. Formerly known as Hurricane Barrel now just
weakened to a tropical depression. It'll bring heavy rains to Oklahoma, Arkansas,
and southern Missouri today. And then we have records setting
heat wave set for western US today. And sports Guardians
(16:09):
lost the Tigers want to Nothing, Cardinals won six nothing
to the Nationals. Rangers won nine to four over the Angels,
Dbacks lost five for to the Braves, and the Mariners
and Rays were both off birthdays today. Tom Hanks is
sixty eight years old, Wonder years. Fred Savage is forty eight,
and singer Courtney Love is sixty. If it's your birthday,
Happy birthday. We're so glad you were born, and thanks
(16:31):
for making us a part of your big day. When
we come back and visit with Aaron Reyal. A new
survey is out the most and least dressed cities in
America and do you live in one of them? Hey,
it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
five to eight am Central, six to nine Eastern and
great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio, or Columbus, Georgia.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
(16:51):
and we're grateful you're here now enjoy the podcast. Thanks
for waking up with your morning show, and welcome to Tuesday, July,
the ninth year of Our Lord, twenty twenty four on
the air and live on your iHeartRadio app everywhere. I
am Michael del Jorna. Well, if you're just waking up.
The White House, of course, having to respond to the
report that a neurologist of Parkinson's expert visited the White
(17:11):
House was on the White House logs eight times in
eight months. White House released a letter from Biden's doctor
saying it was just annual physical consultations. Not many people
have eight annual physicals in eight consecutive months. The drip, drip, drip,
and problems for the White House continue. Meanwhile, former President
(17:32):
Trump believes Joe Biden will remain in the race and
remain defiant and be his opponent in November and ready
or not, Biden plans to host the high stakes NATO
summit and Washington this week. We're going to visit with
Lieutenant James Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano about that next hour
and what's on the line for America and the world.
Aaron Real is your morning show correspondent, joining us now
(17:53):
with a new survey that's out the most and least
stressed cities in America. Well, I'm thinking Washington, DC is
on that list somewhere.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
I know, right it should be. It is on the list.
But I'm not going to bury the lead here.
Speaker 7 (18:05):
I'm going to give you the.
Speaker 8 (18:06):
Most stress cities because they It actually surprised me. Number
one most stressed city in the country. Cleveland, Ohio really
follow it, but yeah, I know, I know.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
And I'll we can go into y right after. It's
followed by Detroit that was less.
Speaker 8 (18:18):
Surprising, Baltimore, Memphis, Gulfport, Mississippi, Philly, Birmingham, Alabama, Akron, Ohio,
New Orleans, and Jackson, Mississippi. So why did this happen?
And by the way, we're looking at wallet Hub. They
looked at thirty nine metrics and they looked at everything
from unemployment to divorce to suicide rates.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
And Cleveland, it actually has.
Speaker 8 (18:41):
The lowest median household income in the country after adjusting
for cost of living. It's under forty one thousand bucks.
So you have low wages and then you have a
tremendous amount of households falling behind on their bills. You
have the second highest foreclosure rate, you have a very
high poverty rate, and then you have a high divorce rate.
Nearly forty one per of the folks in Cleveland are divorced.
(19:04):
It has the nineteenth highest single parent home. The list
goes on and on, and then finally clime, it has
the highest violent crime.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
Rate in the country. That blew my mind. I did
not know that.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I didn't know that. Well, these are a lot of
your morning show cities. Cleveland and Akron we have covered
with whl O News Talk six forty Memphis WRC. We're
on in Jackson Mississippi. Yeah, that's and in Baltimore, which
is you know, the DC station as well. So all right,
(19:37):
you know, I don't want to play partisan politics, but
that's a lot of blue.
Speaker 8 (19:40):
By the way, you're not incorrect, You're not incorrect, And
you know, I think what this shows you is that
dollars don't always fix the problem. So much of the
problem has to do with kind of like the culture.
And yes, there can be intrinsic dangers, like if you
look at Detroit, that used to be a thriving city,
(20:01):
one of the greatest cities in the nation.
Speaker 7 (20:02):
I'm not saying that it isn't.
Speaker 8 (20:03):
It's still one of the greatest cities in the nation,
but I meant in terms of wealth. And then you
have an entire sector just up and leave, or at
least leave for a big part, and that creates this situation,
this dynamic where you lost your industry, you lost employment,
you lost middle class and then it takes decades, potentially
generations to find a way back.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
Now Detroit is doing great in terms of rebuilding.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
There's a lot of native Detroiters Detroit to Urge that
have come back and really reinvigorated that city.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
It's pretty incredible.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
But at the same time, they have the highest poverty
rate in the country, the very highest poverty rate at
thirty one percent.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
And actually another thing they looked at is that the.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
Median credit scores are pretty gnarly around six fourteen, which
is not great. Bad credit makes life a little bit
harder here in America. You need a high credit a
score in order to participate in a lot of the
things that go on.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah, and to put words to life. Lookinancial troubles, you know,
death and grief, Yes, moving, these are all great things great,
you know, stress creators financial problems is always high on
the list, and it's also the leading cause of divorce,
(21:16):
and divorce is high on the list. So I mean,
you know, this is all real life stuff.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
You know.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I wrote a book that was consistently on the worst
seller's list. It's the greatest book no one's ever read,
called Standing Up for What's Right, and in it, the
thesis was that there are three simultaneous wars. There's a
cultural war we're abandoning at God and absolute truth for
a theory, moral relativism and anything goes. We have an
economic war, which is socialism versus capitalism, and what is
(21:46):
the proper size and role of government, what is the
role and responsibility of the self governed? And ultimately, the
outcome of those first two wars will play the defining
role in the outcome of the third war, which is
a military war and an ongoing Holy war. Obviously, you
can see why no one wanted to read that book.
But no, because this.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Sounds really interesting. To be honest, I'll read it. That
sounds awesome, copy, it sounds really good.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
No, but here's the point. World views matter because we
were intended to be self governed individual and without a
moral context, we're incapable of self governance. So we need
someone to govern us. And then that gets government out
of its proper size and role in terms of a republic.
So worldviews matter and policies matter. When we go all
(22:32):
anti cop for three years and it leads to crime,
you know that matters. Education, it matters. We fell behind.
We fell behind a lot with COVID in a way
we probably won't catch up for two or three generations.
We're gonna talk to Rory here in a few minutes
about our views of higher education and how it's become.
And it was the first now common education is just
as guilty of becoming indoctrination and socialization over education. These
(22:55):
policies all matter. When I said I and listen, I'm
trying not to be either, because we've got a matrix
problem in America and I don't want to add to it.
I want to eliminate it. But you know, when you
list all these cities and they're all blue, it tells,
it reminds you worldview matters, policy matters. And this is
more than a Joe Biden failure. This is a Democrat
Party worldview and platform failure. And what you're reporting on
(23:19):
right now is how it fails at the very local level,
how it leads to divorce, how it leads to financial
falling behind and never catching up, and quality of life
no longer exists. This is not the land of opportunity
that we were promised, and we get off, we get
out of focus by worldview, which leads to policy view.
So I think it's all very real and fascinating. So
(23:41):
where are the least stressed places?
Speaker 8 (23:43):
Yeah, so this is interesting too, because Pierre, let me
just give me them no No Overland Park, Kansas, Portland, Maine,
National and New Hampshire, Boise Idahos you Fall, South Dakota, Bismarck, Lincoln, Nebraska, Argo,
North Dakota, South Burlington, Vermont, and Fremont, California.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
So kind of to your point, these there are a
lot of blue as well.
Speaker 8 (24:08):
And so it's not I like how you say, like
it's not one thing. It's not one thing, and it
would be easy. People like it to be one thing
because it's easier to understand, but it's not.
Speaker 7 (24:17):
It's complex.
Speaker 8 (24:18):
It's a culmination of things that like one begets the next,
like you said, you know, like the financial stress leads
to divorce, all these other things. It's not None of
this is just happening in a vacuum and seeing the
bigger picture, the pulling out thirty thousand feet like you did,
you know, breaking it down into three specific entities and
then diving into those. That's a good way in terms
(24:39):
of segmenting the metrics that are creating this.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Boy to all my listeners in Cleveland, Akron, Jackson, Mississippi.
Who else is on that list? Memphis, Tennessee. Yeah, we'll
try to ease your stress every morning, Aaron, great reporting,
we'll talk again tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (24:58):
Likewise, you got it.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
That's a lot of your Orange show cities that are
stressed out. All right, that I had your stress, but
you're tough. Stressful stories of the day. Senate Democrats, Yes,
obsessed with Trump, Yes, obsessed with taking them out rather
than letting you vote. Continue their hinged behaviors as they're
(25:20):
working on legislation to classify Donald Trump's actions leading up
to the attack. The capital is unofficial acts to get
around the ruling of the Supreme Court, I presume, Brian Shook, reports.
Speaker 9 (25:30):
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Monday. This is in
response to the Supreme Court's ruling that presidents are entitled
to broad immunity for official acts. Schumer said the conservative
justices effectively placed a crown on Trump's head in their ruling,
and Congress has the authority to check the High Court.
The ruling is expected to impact Trump's federal election interference case,
(25:53):
as well as the other criminal cases against the former president.
I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Well, it was all yesterday day, and I presume it's
going to be all today. The White House facing a
barrage of questions about the mental fitness to President Biden,
Monday's press briefing became very contentious following a report the
New York Times taking out the Knees of the President
that Parkinson's disease expert and neurologists had visited the White
House eight times in eight months.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
I hear you, guys, guys.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Press Secretary Corin Jean Pierre would not confirm why the
expert met at the White House with the White House physicians,
citing privacy issues. This comes as Biden's facing scrutiny over
his age and ability to serve another term as president
if re elected in November.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Hold on, wait, wait, wait, wait is second?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Well, not a second? It was more like ours. But
late last night, the White House put out a memo
from the presidential physician, doctor Kevin O'Connor, who said the
visits from the neurological specialists, who we now know is
Kevin Cannard, were a part of Biden's annual physicals and
that all results have been made public. To that end.
O'Connor said there are no findings which would be consistent
(27:06):
with a central neurological disorder such as stroke, multiple scrolls
dis or Parkinson's. O'Connor said the neurologist also makes visits
in support of military personnel assigned at the White House
as well, because clearly you don't have eight physicals and
eight months all right?
Speaker 9 (27:25):
Um?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
The radio host fired parting ways with their station why
she used questions that were given to her by President
Biden's campaign in an interview last week Lisa Taylor has.
Speaker 10 (27:38):
More Andrea Laffel Sanders mutually left the station after she
said on CNN that she was given a list of
eight questions from the Biden campaign and she approved four
of them. The interview came after Biden's shaky debate performance
against former President Trump. A Biden administration official told CBS
News they do not condition interviews on acceptance of these questions,
and any host is free to ask any questions they please.
(28:01):
I'm mis Taylor.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Question one, do you think she'd have been fired a
month ago? You know, when the media was all a
part of hiding this and selling this. Now it's more
of a cancel culture. And question two, wasn't that the
same interview where he thought he was a female, black
vice president?
Speaker 6 (28:20):
By the way, I'm proud I said the first vice president,
first black woman heard with a black president.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
And the answer is yes, it was. As for President
Biden's doubters come and get me at the convention. The
president defiantly said on an MSNBC interview.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
I'm getting so frustrated by the leap in the party,
who they know so much more. But any of these guys,
I don't think I should.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Run against me.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Of course. The problem is you have the delegates, and
if you're alive and not dead, only you can release them.
No one can challenge you. Former President Donald Trump holding
a rally at Trump National Dorel, Miami as he tries
to win back the keys to the White House. Wendy
Grossman has more from Miami.
Speaker 11 (29:10):
Trump's rallies, who expected to focus on attacking President Biden's policies,
along with the debate debacle that has led many Democratic
lawmakers and donors to call for Biden to bow out
of the race. Trump's not expected to announce his running mate,
although there are rumors US Senator Marco Rubio is a
top contender. The rally comes the day after Jill Biden
was in Tampa stumping for support, and it also comes
(29:31):
less than a week before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee,
where Trump will be formally nominated to the GOP ticket
Wendy Grissman, Miami.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
This would be about the time you would announce your
vice president, Marco Rubio is going to be at this
event in Miami at the Trump Durell Is it Marco Rubio?
My guess is yes. And finally, the NTSB has changed
where they want your hands on the stif wearing wheel
(30:00):
and it's all due to your thumbs. Pre tennis with
a safety revisal, The Safety.
Speaker 12 (30:05):
Administration says hands at ten and two is out, nine
and three is in. That is, if you want to
keep your thumbs. The Administration altered the hand position about
two years ago because they say if an airbag deploys,
your thumbs can be a casualty if they're not in
the nine and three o'clock positions. They say the new
hand position doesn't just save thumbs, it also reduces broken
(30:25):
wrists and your thumb's jabbing you in the face.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
I'm pre tennis, yes, but as someone that was nearly
killed on under State sixty five in Nashville going to work,
I can tell you it's the burns on your arms
that really stuck.
Speaker 9 (30:39):
Hey there, I'm Kimmy Stevens and my morning show is
your Morning Show with Michael Bljornho.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Well, a new poll is out on how Americans feel
about higher education, and there are some surprises. Your Morning
show correspondent Roory O'Neil is here to share with us
those surprises. Good morning, Rory. Hey there, Michael, Good morning.
Speaker 13 (30:56):
Yeah, we've seen a steady decline in confidence in higher
ever since Gallup started asking this question back in twenty fifteen.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Twenty fifteen, I circled that because I would have thought
it would have started well before then. I had some
concerns back in eighty two of free speech out.
Speaker 13 (31:15):
Yeah, they haven't started measuring them until twenty fifteen, and
that's where we've seen this steady fall off that essentially
breaks down to a third, a third, a third have
a lot of confidence, a third or and a third
have no.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Confidence at all, and higher education.
Speaker 13 (31:29):
We've been seeing the falling numbers in particular among Republican voters.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
All right, So, yeah, there is a polarized view upon this,
and the failures is that in what a degree can
actually create for you, or the quality of the degree
you're getting or the education you're getting while you're there.
Speaker 13 (31:48):
Well, the question is how much confidence that you do
you have in colleges, And they've found that there's a
falling level of confidence because they feel that students are indoctrinated,
they feel that students are not being properly prepared for
the real world, and they feel college is too darn expensive.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Well expensive, I can assure you I'm paying for two
even as I speak.
Speaker 13 (32:11):
Interesting, though, there's still a high level of confidence in
two year colleges that's remained high. I think because a
lot of two year colleges tend to be more program focused,
more job focused, whereas the four year schools offer a
broader option for students.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
And an uncertainty, right and the trust. You know, it's funny.
We used to say, well, there was a time when
Americans would work their way through school or serve in
the military to pay for school. I mean, the tuitions
are so high, you really can't do that. Why more
and more kids aren't taking advantage of like the two
year community college, getting the associate degree and then moving
on to get their degree somewhere else to get around
(32:49):
some of those costs. That's a big part of it.
So we don't really know the lack of most of
the lack of confidence as the whole indoctrination versus education.
Speaker 13 (32:57):
Yeah, so they asked an open question, so not just
to fill in the bubble here. So the responses included
to liberal trying to indoctrinate or brainwash.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Was the other word offered up by the respondents. And
how concerned should universities be that this is how America
is feeling about them.
Speaker 13 (33:16):
Well, it makes it that much more interesting if you're
trying to attract students from conservative households.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
That may be something the schools want to address.
Speaker 13 (33:25):
Also, it depends on the level of state funding as well.
They didn't get into specifics, but are we talking state
universities versus public ones and private ones?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
We're going to talk about Donald Trump's rally today in
South Florida. I know Marco Ruby is going to be there.
I think he's the choice. In fact, I think today's
the day it's announced. But we'll see what you think
when we come back next half hour. We're all in
this together. This is your Morning Show with Michael Hill,
