Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show has heard on
great radio stations across the country like one oh five,
nine twelve fifty w HNZ and Tampa, Florida, News Radio
five seventy wkb N and Youngstown, Ohio and News Radio
one thousand KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you
listen to us live in the morning, And of course
we're so grateful you came for the podcast. Enjoy well
(00:21):
two three. You're starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding, because we're
in the stickific. This is your morning show with Michael
o'dale Trump shepery lines of course at the control board
at the Chris Berry Studios high top. iHeart Nashville. Yeah,
(00:45):
you just said to me moments ago, have you ever
seen the interview about filming stripes in Kentucky in a
dry county? And of course I said to you, yes,
and John Candy filled up the tub with beer and
You're like, my gosh, what don't you know you're well read.
I do a lot of study, and I say this
all the time, not to impress upon impress anyone, but
just to impress upon you how much time I waste
(01:07):
because it could come up. Ninety percent literally of the
things I read and study I never talk about, but
they're there in case they come up. Sure, So there
is a if you've ever seen the movie Thirteen Days,
which is the Cuban missile crisis story beautifully told, accurately told,
(01:28):
wonderful cast. Most of the script is taken straight from
the White House tapes, So even though it's Kevin Costner
and different actors, they're just telling you because all.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Of the meetings were recorded.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Everything the General said, everything Kennedy said, any of the
consultants said, it's all right there, So it's very accurate.
Having said that the Cuban missile crisis is on going,
they're trying to figure out what to do. The main
choices are take the missiles out. Although you bomb those missiles,
you're going to kill some Russian personnel and they're going
to move on Berlin. So that wasn't an exciting option,
(02:08):
but it was a necessary one because if they were operational,
it was first strike capability, and if they plan to
carry it out, millions of Americans would die. The other
was a missile strike followed by invasion, So that was
the dilemma of the hour, and nobody knew if there
was any other way which we would eventually find. So
they bring in Dean Atchinson, who sought the Soviets at
(02:33):
the conclusion of World War Two and throughout the Cold War,
and they're all kicking around all this stuff. And so
after the meeting, Bobby Kennedy and John F. Kennedy are
standing there with Kenny O'Donnell, who was the chief of staff,
and at one point o'donnald says, hey, look, there is
no wise man in the room.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
There's just us.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, which I can relate to right now because it
may sound like we're bigger than life, but at the
end of the day, it's just me and Jeffrey.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
That's all right, It's just us.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
We're a small show. So, having said that, in addition
to my research, singing Neil Diamond, which by the way,
I stumped you. You did you went deep Diamond. I
went deep Diamond this morning. I don't know what made
me think of.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
It, but Linda was mine until the time that I
found her hold and Jim loving him, I kept the suit,
came along and love me strong.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Well, that's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Of course, it was solitary, man, is he doing, Billy Joel?
That's what I think. That's what I said. It's no,
that's solitary man. I know now, I know now.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
But anyway, so I have all this stuff going on,
I am capable of making a mistake. What Hans von
Spakowsky is tomorrow at say so five, not today. So
we were all outry, where's hot?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And then I read the email Friday, so that one's
on me. It was very very nice to listen. It
is still a big deal, and we're gonna cover it
because the left is narrativizing Heritage's Project twenty twenty five
before Heritage can explain.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Project twenty twenty five, and it's.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Filled with false claims and scare tactics and associations with
Trump that are simply not true. It is real policy
solutions based on the four pillars that Hans will explain tomorrow,
no today.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
This is a great tease.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
It's one hundred and eighty day policy playbook delayed by
twenty four hours. My bad dude, As they say, all right,
what is my favorite story of the day. And I
think it's very relevant to what virtually everybody on television
and radio is going to be talking about, but don't
quite connect the dots. So big picture, what's the dilemma
(04:39):
for the Democrats, Well, they want to maintain control, and
they don't want just the White House. They want to
maintain control of the United States Senate. They worked hard
to steal it and maybe gain control of the House.
Not because they care about you, not because they care
about democracy.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
That says stake.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
They care about their power and their control over you.
So for the longest time, just as they did in
twenty twenty, they control the narrative because they control the
mainstream media, and they hide a cognitively impaired president. Then
the president does a debate and there's no hiding it anymore.
(05:18):
Now the media has turned on him, many Democrats have
turned on him. Is this guy in denial or is
he being defiant? Well, defiance in denial are a big
part of dementia, so it's probably both. But they got
a dilemma. And so a week ago we were asking
the question, how do you lose the presidency and still
maintain control of the Senate and try to get control.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Of the House.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Can you lose the top of the ticket but win
everything else, And there were many that thought you could
because the polls were suggesting, Oh, Biden may be down
six to ten points, but in the Senate races the
Democrats are leading.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
But that's changed.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So if you're wondering why the media and the parties
against Joe Biden, it's because they've come to the realization
this isn't just a Joe Biden problem, and we may
lose control of the Senate, we may lose control of
the House. We may lose control for over a decade.
Now they're in full press, full panic. So you get
(06:20):
George Clooney from Hollywood coming out, you know, I met
with Joe three weeks ago. That's not the same Joe.
Love your work, George, but you need to work on
your discernment. No, Joe Biden is not the same Joe
Biden of twenty twenty. But the Joe Biden of twenty
twenty was telling hair on the legs and corn pop
stories straight out of West Side Story, Remember the one
(06:44):
with they had the blades and they're sharpening him on
the curb and the black guy underneath the pool gave
him a chain. And Joe was out there and said,
first of all, I'm sorry. I called Jester Williams. Second
of all, I'm gonna take you out with his chain.
And then one looked at him and said, why are
we doing this? And then Joe said, I don't know,
why are we doing this? Next thing, you know, they
(07:04):
all went out and had a slurpee. I mean, just crazy, crazy, Stop.
That's why I say, if this is news to you
that Joe Biden is cognitively impaired, you you've been having
your hands over your eyes. And if it's news to
the media, they haven't been very honest with you. But
you got clooney. Now it's like they're saying, guy, Meatheadamn meathead.
(07:25):
Rob reinan stifled stifle yourself. This guy's gotta go away.
The problem, Jon Stewart, stop with the FMBS. This guy's
gotta go away. I mean, all this filthy talk from Hollywood,
but yes, Hollywood turning against the president. First, we had
the Colorado Senator Michael Bennett two days ago, this guy's
got to step down. Yesterday Vermont Senator Peter Welch, this
(07:48):
guy's got to step down. Why Because they're looking at
the polls and I just shared them with you a
half hour ago, go to the podcast, listen to our one.
But these Senate races are now being lost or their draws.
So it's not just a Joe Biden problem. Joe goes down,
He's taken the Senate in the house with him. That's
why they're in a panic. But here's some polling that
(08:11):
I want to share with you. I think it's our
story of the day, far and away, and I don't
know that you'll hear it anywhere else. It's first, it's fast,
it's accurate, depend on it.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
It's now.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Show business like business. That's why any program director out there,
they're by, Hey, that's a really nice, really nice shut
up there with credibility, and that depends on it.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
So this is an exclusive battleground poll. Yes, it shows
Joe Biden tanking in all of the swing states, but
watch the narrative. Democrats in a number of key states
are running behind their Republican opponents as Joe Biden continues
to struggle to contain the fallout from last week's presidential debate.
(08:55):
Poll results from the Remington Research across Arizona, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Wisconsin,
I don't know that I have Texas in there as
a swing state, by the way, or Montana quite frankly,
but Arizona, Nevada definitely, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania definitely.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Ohio not so much, but anyway enough for us to
take a look at this. The results suggest that Biden's
electoral struggles have been exasperated by larger issues within the
Democrat Party. Remember the big question, no, Remember the big
answer is this is not a Joe Biden problem. Joe
(09:39):
Biden being cognitively impaired isn't why the border's open. Joe
Biden being cognitively impaired isn't why we have inflation and
an economy. Joe Biden being cognitively impaired isn't why we
haven't recovered from COVID or we can't figure out what
bathrooms to go to, or what's a boy and what's
(10:00):
the girl. This is a worldview failure and a policy failure.
This is a death of consequence, a death of reality
over narrative. The Remington Poll polled voters across each state
from June twenty ninth to July first, coming up with
(10:22):
results with a margin of era four points in each state,
Trump is leading Biden by between three and twenty points.
The three is Michigan, the twenty is Montana, and Testers
going down. That's why tester is so concerned about Biden
staying in the race. And I can say the same
in Ohio, and I can say the same in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
The results also show Democrats across each state losing at
least a plurality of votes two Republicans running for US House.
Polling for the Senate is somewhat mixed, with Democrats leading
in Michigan, barely, Nevada, Ohio barely, Pennsylvania really barely, almost
a toss up, and Republicans now leading in Montana and Texas.
(11:05):
The Senate races in Arizona and Wisconsin are tied. But
the poll also covered opinions on generalized pushes to ban
or limit the manufacture of new gas and diesel powered vehicles,
hybrid vehicles, legislation and regulatory pushes in about a dozen states,
and by the Biden administration seeking to promote the manufacturer
(11:27):
of electric electric vehicles, which has kind of become their
cylindra issues. The voter's side overwhelmingly against Now listen, the
left hasn't even come to terms with This isn't just
a Joe Biden problem. He's going to take the Senate,
the House down with him. They haven't realized yet. It's
(11:49):
also a policy and worldview problem. Roughly sixty percent of
voters in each state said they opposed the regulations, while
roughly twenty percent supported them. They're on the wrong side
of reality. A large majority of voters in each state
(12:13):
said that such policies are either somewhat are very important
in deciding their vote. Yeah, the border's a big deal.
Israel's a big deal. The economy is a big deal.
The pole as respondents on their picks for US presidential election,
Trump versus Biden if it's Biden, as well as the
independent candidates led by Robert Kennedy at ten percent out
(12:36):
of the swing states, look, Trump leads Biden all swing
states Arizona by seven, forty nine to forty two, Michigan
by three, forty five to forty two, Montana fifty six
to thirty six by twenty, Nevada forty seven to forty
by seven, Ohio fifty one to forty one by ten. Pennsylvania,
Remember Pennsylvania, Trump wins Pennsylvania. Yeah, looks a lot like
(12:59):
twenty six. Biden loses Pennsylvania, he loses, Trump leads forty
eight to forty three, and the Senate race there is
now a draw. President leads Texas by ten, Wisconsin by six.
And as we often talk about, this isn't the twenty
sixteen map versus a twenty twenty map. No, it's kind
(13:21):
of its own unique twenty twenty four map, which is
not just a landslide for Donald Trump and a mandate
for his presidency. It takes down Democrat control of the
Senate and losses in the House that will take decades
to recover. That's the real reason. George Clooney, Rob Reiner,
John Stewart, Senator Bennett, Senator Tester, Senator Welsh, Axios, The
(13:47):
Washington Post, the Associated Press, the left narrative controllers are
all calling for this president, whether it's denial or defiance,
to step aside. The truth is they care about their power,
not you, not America, not democracy, not your right to
choose and lend your consent for governance. They care about
(14:11):
their power and the writings on the wall. The answer
to our question a week ago, can you lose the
presidency without losing the Senate and the House for decades.
And the answer is no, and that's why they're freaking out.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Delturno.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
And welcome to your morning show on Michael del Journal.
You know, I don't believe in news anymore. I think
we have narratives, and I don't believe in news consumers anymore.
We have narrative repeaters on social media. But if that's true,
here's what the narratives are saying. If you go to
the New York Times, the headline is Pelosi and others
try a new track with Joe Biden. Is that your
final answer? Trump rejoices at how the landscape has changed.
(14:57):
President Biden faced fresh calls to out of the race
as Democrats in Hollywood and Capitol Hill aired their concerns.
Peter Weilsher Vermont became the first, really second said it
democrat to publicly call him President Biden to end his candidacy.
And that's just the New York Times. Axios continues to
pound away, Washington Post continues to pound away. And if
(15:17):
you believe old narratives, somehow he performs well. Today it
is NATO news conference well, that'll make things all better.
Don't count on it. We'll have more in your top
five stories of the day coming up next. Well, there
are adult children living with their parents.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Are we now in.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
An era of endless parenting? Well as a child taking
care of two parents?
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I can tell you I don't think childhood ends at eighteen.
In fact, I think it begins at fifty. But something
tells me he doesn't end at eighteen either. Aaron Rayal's
here was one of our top stories today. Kids are
still at home? Eh, where's Aaron? Why don't I hear?
Speaker 2 (15:58):
I don't know, and we don't hear you? Mean off?
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Michael?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Now? I can I apologize for Aaron's technical difficulties?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
I'm sorry?
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Everyone listening if you can, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Now? You know what? I hear me?
Speaker 7 (16:18):
Now?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
You know what I always say. You're worth a weight, Aaron.
So we're not getting rid of our kids like we
used to. They're coming back.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Yeah, no, they're not. Only are they not leaving, they're
coming back and the parents are liking it, believe it
or not.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
So.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
According to Pew Research Center, seventy percent of response to
a survey with kids ages eighteen to thirty four say
they talk to their kid at least once a day
on the phone. Sixty percent help their kids financially. And
then there's another Harris poll that says forty five percent
of young adults in their twenties are living with their parents.
So this makes it the most common living arrangement for
(16:53):
that age group. This is the first time this has
happened since the Great Depression, Michael. And while you know,
like a lot of folks say, oh, this is a
lor it's a bunch of grown babies, and it's a
hopless generation, turns out not so much, because you have
social scientists and psychologists who poured over the data for
the past decade, and it turns out that these kids
are not that picture of like, you know, the slug
(17:14):
in the basement playing video games. What they are is
they're helping with the household income, they're helping with labor.
They have a nice relationship with their parents, and each
side is benefiting.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
So it doesn't take a village.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
That was a narrative and it failed with Hillary Clinton,
but it does take a whole family. Apparently, by the way,
this kind of you can put this together with the
latest survey that reveals sixty percent, and I can confirm
this because I'm living it with my kids. The number
one anxiety very similar to yours in mind when we
were their age in college, Oh my gosh, what am
(17:48):
I going to be? What am I going to do?
By the way, conflating what I'm going to be and do,
because I always, as I tell my daughters, that's two
different things. What you're going to be is what you've
been purposed, purchased and called to be. What you're going
to do for a living, it's probably going to naturally happen.
I don't know that God's all that concern as much
as who you're going to be while you're doing it.
But that's two different things. But right after that is
(18:09):
their anxiety of well, I'm never going to be able
to have a house. How am I going to afford
a house? And we're finding out sixty percent of gen
zs worry they may never own a home. This is
that home crisis we've talked about, the American dream of
home ownership. It may be out of reach for a
future children and no wonder many of them are either
having to stay at home throughout their twenties to save money,
or stay at home to help mom and dad paid
(18:30):
for that home. At least it's a roof over all.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Of our head.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
This is kind of growing into something that looks far
more permanent than transitory.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
Oh for sure.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
And like you said, it's driven by this confluence of
societal trend So, yes, this transition to adulthood is taking longer.
Kids are taking longer to do these things like get married,
have kids, but we're also living a lot longer and
then so young adults essentially what they need is this
guaranteed relationship that used to be someone that they knew
they could count on and they could go to first,
that was a spouse. So, and this is really important.
(19:01):
This panic again, it rests on the assumption that growing
up means leaving your family behind. That was not always
the norm in the US, actually only until World War Two.
After that happened, there was federal programs like the GI
Bill that gave young people this big incentive to buy
a house. So that led to couples going out earlier
(19:21):
and striking it on their own. That is not necessarily
the case with the cost of living with the cost
of real estate at the moment, and just the changing
shape of society. And again, children living with parents who
are helping with the household, labor, who are helping with
the income. It's a good thing, especially here in the
US for single parents. And by the way, the US
has the world's highest rate of children living with just
(19:44):
one parent. Both sides are benefiting from it. And then
the minutia that just like happens in life. Used to
share this with your parents because you were toiling in
the field.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Now you're just.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Sharing it over coffee or watching TV together. And if
you had listen, if your parents are trouble, get out,
if your kids are try that. You know, not every
situation is lovely. But if you have a nice relationship
with your parents, you trust and you know they love you,
and vice versa with your kids, there is no there's
no evidence or data that says pushing them out is
(20:12):
better for any party.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Aaron Rael joining us the latest survey showing adult children
living at home with their parents. This is looking more
like a permanent movement than a temporary one. You know,
most days I'm thrilled with it. My one daughter has
a habit of doing the treadmill and then leaving. I
don't know why she likes to leave with the remote
(20:36):
control to the television with her. So then I come
to my bedroom to watch the Yankees before I go
to bed, and I can't find the road control. I'm
digging the bed apart and everything, and then I go, oh,
I'll bet Alex was on the treadmill. I find it
in a kitchen, all right, So that markets egty, But
you know there's a lot of good that comes from
it too, you know, So I don't know. I mean,
(20:57):
we have the side hustle economy that Rory's going to
discuss in a few minutes that's becoming more and more permanent.
And then we have the kids staying at home or
at least you know the one that you brought up
that's most fascinating. Well, we all live longer, so you know,
I guess we'll just extend that decade from the twenties
to back at home. I will say this, ready or not.
I was gone at seventeen and I never returned home,
(21:19):
and thank god I never had to. But as a parent,
my perspective is I love the thought of my kids.
I'd rather have them be with me than out somewhere
making mistakes.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Yes, I know what everything you just said, Like you
couldn't have paid me to live with my parents at eighteen. Literally,
I know that was not it. But I was a
different generation. And I also think I have very little
kids now. But I'm like, I want them to achieve
everything they want in life. I want them to feel
feel feel fulfilled. But no, I would love it if
they came back and like, like that would not be
(21:49):
a problem at all. It would make my heart warm,
and I hope they stay close by or I can
stay close to them. But again, it's it's this fine
line between dependence, over dependence and then just really liking
each other's company, which.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Happened to the empty nest scenario.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I mean, by the time I'm done taking care of
my parents, by the time my kids leave, what do
I get five minutes a piece before I rest in peace?
Other than that, you have any good news for us.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
There, Aaron Rayel.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah, for those of you that are mourning that your
kids are going off to college, don't don't be back.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
Don't don't worry. It's a break knocks out a chae.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Great reporting are We'll talk again.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Tomorrow, forty three minutes after the hour. If you're just
waking up, here's what you need to know. Your top
five stories of the day. Well, the chorus of Democrats
calling for President Biden to exit the twenty twenty four
sweepstakes is growing. Louder Mark Mayfield has the story.
Speaker 8 (22:42):
New York's Pat Ryan on Wednesday became the eighth congressional
Democrat calling for Biden to step aside in a New
York Times op. And on Wednesday, longtime Democrat George Clooney
pleaded for Biden to withdraw. He said he recently hosted
a fundraiser for the president and noted he was not
the Joe Biden of twenty ten or even the Joe
Biden of twenty twenty. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stopped
(23:03):
short of saying Biden should remain in the presidential election,
even after Biden just said he's staying foot. Pelosi said,
the decision is up to the president. I'm Mark Meefield, or.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Even the Jill Biden of twenty minutes ago. Thank you,
john that's funny, shoff, thank you, Johnny. President Biden's top
campaign advisors will meet with Senate Democrats today, as the
Democratic lawmakers are growing concerned.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Over Biden's candidacy. Lisa Taylor has.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
More senior advisors Mike Donollan, Si Berschetti, and Biden campaign
chair Genomalley Dillon will join a special caucus lunch meeting
at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. The meeting comes after
Democratic Senators John Tester, Shared Brown and Michael Bennett have
said they think Biden will lose to Donald Trump in
the general election and hurt the party's chances of holding
the Senate. Tester and Brown are two of the most
(23:50):
vulnerable Senate Democrats. A handful of House Democrats, meanwhile, have
called on Biden to drop out of the race. I'm me,
Sa Taylor mean.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
While President Trump is getting closer and closer to announcing
his run mate, yesterday's indications would be exciting to do
it at the convention or maybe right before. Who are
the top picks? Well, there's no North Dakota Governor Doug
Bergham that's high on a lot of people's lists. Our
White House correspondent John Decker is still sticking with Donald Trump.
Junior Nikki Haley. No, those are the three we can
(24:19):
rule out. Nikki Ailey Niggi Hale, Marco Rubio probably high
on the list. JD Vance. Although there were rumors that
the President doesn't like beards, the President puts that to rest,
saying no, he's like a young Abe Lincoln. One thing's
for sure. He ramped up his attacks on the current
Vice president Kamala Harris and who the choices are for
the Democrats if they move forward without Joe Biden.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
You know, you got some good people, and I have
changed a little bit, but you have They're all great.
Anyone would be fantastic. Anyone would be a lot better
than laughing Kamala, She's terrible.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Kamala is just terrible. Kevin Costner's Horizon in American Saga
Chapter two is being from its August release. Tammy Trihilo
Expank explain the.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Film still remains set for a theatrical release, with the
new date still to be decided. In a statement of
Variety in New Line, cinema spokesperson said they've decided not
to release the film on August sixteenth in order to
let audiences discover the first installment by either renting it
or watching it on the Mac streaming service. Chapter one
open two eleven million dollars in its first weekend in
(25:24):
theaters and never gained traction at the box office. The
franchise is meant to span over four films. I'm Tammy Trihio.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Well, if you're looking to beat the heat this summer,
today could be a good day. You can stop by
any seven eleven for a free slurpee. Gotta find a
seven eleven. They're not everywhere like they used to be
on every corner. And this doesn't work for ICs and
flushies or whatever else. Somebody's gotta go to seven eleven
and it's gotta be a slurpee. But today it's free.
(25:53):
It's National Slurpy Day. By the way, if you haven't
figured out the calendar, it is seventh month, July seven,
eleventh day, seven eleven, seven eleven stores slurpe National Slurpey Day.
What a coincidence is that cowinky dinky if I ever
heard one? And that's your top five stories of the day. Hi,
it's Michael. Your morning show airs live five to eight
am Central six to nine Eastern in great cities like Memphis, Tennessee,
(26:16):
tell Usa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California. You'd love to be a
part of your morning routine, but we're happy you're here now,
enjoyed the podcast, Thanks for waking up with your morning show.
I'm Michael del Journal Things you need to keep an
eye on Today. President Biden will be sitting down for
an exclusive one on one interview with NBC, hoping it
goes better than the one with ABC. He also has
this big solo press conference today. There are some still
(26:38):
clinging to the narrative. Hey, if he looks presidential today,
he'll be fine. Meanwhile, Vermont Senator Peter Wells joins Colorado
Senator Michael Bennett and calling for the President to step down.
And the FED Chair Jerome Powell brought the Central Bank
semi annual Monetary Policy Report to the House. He's been
testifying all week long as America is still hoping for
(26:59):
some interest rates to be reduced to help at home
money with David Bonsen will join us on that to
follow the news break next hour. In hour three, and
it's a new study that's out and have found more
than one in three of us in America have a
side hustle. Rory, We've become the side hustle economy and
nobody ever talks about it. Good morning, what's your side hustle?
(27:22):
By the way, I.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
Haven't figured it out yet, I know. Well it's interesting
though in that the Bank Great Survey also found an
asked with a follow up question of well, what's.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
The money for?
Speaker 9 (27:33):
You know, are you doing it because you can't afford
the rent or you need to put groceries in the refrigerator,
or is it because you're paying off your credit card debt,
or maybe you're putting the money into your savings account.
A lot of people said they were doing it. It's
sort of their mad money is how they use it.
So this is something that we've seen spike really in
the past two years, as you mentioned, something we've seen
(27:55):
since the return of inflation. And it's a pretty good
dollar nearly nine hundred bucks a month on average.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah, I mean, well, you know some of this is
everything always kind of points to COVID, but you know,
everybody was sent home and then they realized, you know,
it's not so bad to be home. You know, it
just got us to look at money different, our budgets different,
and then people started doing side hustles.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
I think you hit the nail on the head.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
The most fascinating point is what we're doing with it
in that you know, is this because really inflation takes
up all of our money just for groceries, just for gas,
just for electric, just for the mortgage or the remp
just for the car payments, and there's nothing left for entertainment, vacations,
are going out to eat, And it seems to be
more that right than it is you need the side
(28:41):
hustles to pay your bills.
Speaker 9 (28:43):
Well, it's a third to third a third, so it
really thirty seven percent said it's for discretionary purposes, thirty
six percent edits for the necessities so and the other
third said they think they'll always need a side hustle
in order to make ends meet. And of course then
you can break down by demographic age wise, and things
are very different. Gen z ers are more likely out
(29:05):
there to be doing these kinds of things, not surprising
they're starting out Baby boomers and gens gen X less likely.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
But still out there.
Speaker 9 (29:14):
Plus, you've also seen the emerging opportunities out there, you
know Etsy and people you know using home printers to
personalize items and sell them online. For sixteen percent, they'd
love to make their side hustle their main job, but
for a lot of them. You know, it's sort of
these crafty things they sell at the farmer's market on
(29:34):
the weekends or sell online.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
A lot more opportunities for people to make money on
the side.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Yeah, Rory's joining us on side hustles.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
You know, I was thinking, this is what made me
think of COVID.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
You know, we started, you know, having food delivered, and
then you know, I have a friend who doesn't have
a car. The thought of not having a car was
unthinkable for me. And then ever since watching him, I'm like,
you know what, the thought of not having a car
is very thinkable. We have these neighborhoods now where everything's
kind of right in the neighborhood and if you need
to go somewhere you uber. You don't have any car insurance,
(30:06):
which is through the roof, you don't have any car payments,
and car prices are through the root. Stuff delivered. But
it all created great side hustles. I mean I would
rather uber or door dash than sit stand in a
retail store all day.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Or I don't know about making donuts. I eat more
than I make.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
But do we have anything on the list about what
the top side hustles are. Uh?
Speaker 9 (30:29):
They didn't go into details, but obviously a lot of
it is going to be a lot of those home
based businesses, and then of course the delivery businesses like
never before, I did have the Pete the Dominoes guy
came in a teslat the other day.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
That's that's a high end delivery, right exactly.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I'm like, okay, it's alright.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Well, while Rory takes an hour to try to figure
out what his side hustle will be, We've got Sonny
and oh I always pride myself butch and Sonny trapped
in space not lost in space, but trapped in space.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Or we'll be back with that story next hour.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Thank you, Rory, all right, when we come back, David Bonson,
you know, we keep cutting to this. I don't think
there's any coming as far as interest rate cuts, but
the complexity of cutting. Is it always good to cut
interest rates? It may feel like it is and in
the would it help you, but it's actually not necessarily
a good thing. Should we be hoping for interest rate cuts?
(31:23):
Should we be expecting them? Our visit with Money was
David Bonnson is coming up.
Speaker 8 (31:27):
This is Shannon Gregory and my Morning show is your
morning show.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
With Michael del Jona,
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show has heard on
great radio stations across the country like one oh five,
nine twelve fifty w HNZ and Tampa, Florida, News Radio
five seventy wkb N and Youngstown, Ohio and News Radio
one thousand KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you
listen to us live in the morning, And of course
we're so grateful you came for the podcast. Enjoy well
(00:21):
two three. You're starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding, because we're
in the stickific. This is your morning show with Michael
o'dale Trump shepery lines of course at the control board
at the Chris Berry Studios high top. iHeart Nashville. Yeah,
(00:45):
you just said to me moments ago, have you ever
seen the interview about filming stripes in Kentucky in a
dry county? And of course I said to you, yes,
and John Candy filled up the tub with beer and
You're like, my gosh, what don't you know you're well read.
I do a lot of study, and I say this
all the time, not to impress upon impress anyone, but
just to impress upon you how much time I waste
(01:07):
because it could come up. Ninety percent literally of the
things I read and study I never talk about, but
they're there in case they come up. Sure, So there
is a if you've ever seen the movie Thirteen Days,
which is the Cuban missile crisis story beautifully told, accurately told,
(01:28):
wonderful cast. Most of the script is taken straight from
the White House tapes, So even though it's Kevin Costner
and different actors, they're just telling you because all.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Of the meetings were recorded.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Everything the General said, everything Kennedy said, any of the
consultants said, it's all right there, So it's very accurate.
Having said that the Cuban missile crisis is on going,
they're trying to figure out what to do. The main
choices are take the missiles out. Although you bomb those missiles,
you're going to kill some Russian personnel and they're going
to move on Berlin. So that wasn't an exciting option,
(02:08):
but it was a necessary one because if they were operational,
it was first strike capability, and if they plan to
carry it out, millions of Americans would die. The other
was a missile strike followed by invasion, So that was
the dilemma of the hour, and nobody knew if there
was any other way which we would eventually find. So
they bring in Dean Atchinson, who sought the Soviets at
(02:33):
the conclusion of World War Two and throughout the Cold War,
and they're all kicking around all this stuff. And so
after the meeting, Bobby Kennedy and John F. Kennedy are
standing there with Kenny O'Donnell, who was the chief of staff,
and at one point o'donnald says, hey, look, there is
no wise man in the room.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
There's just us.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, which I can relate to right now because it
may sound like we're bigger than life, but at the
end of the day, it's just me and Jeffrey.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
That's all right, It's just us.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
We're a small show. So, having said that, in addition
to my research, singing Neil Diamond, which by the way,
I stumped you. You did you went deep Diamond. I
went deep Diamond this morning. I don't know what made
me think of.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
It, but Linda was mine until the time that I
found her hold and Jim loving him, I kept the suit,
came along and love me strong.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Well, that's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Of course, it was solitary, man, is he doing, Billy Joel?
That's what I think. That's what I said. It's no,
that's solitary man. I know now, I know now.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
But anyway, so I have all this stuff going on,
I am capable of making a mistake. What Hans von
Spakowsky is tomorrow at say so five, not today. So
we were all outry, where's hot?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And then I read the email Friday, so that one's
on me. It was very very nice to listen. It
is still a big deal, and we're gonna cover it
because the left is narrativizing Heritage's Project twenty twenty five
before Heritage can explain.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Project twenty twenty five, and it's.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Filled with false claims and scare tactics and associations with
Trump that are simply not true. It is real policy
solutions based on the four pillars that Hans will explain tomorrow,
no today.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
This is a great tease.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
It's one hundred and eighty day policy playbook delayed by
twenty four hours. My bad dude, As they say, all right,
what is my favorite story of the day. And I
think it's very relevant to what virtually everybody on television
and radio is going to be talking about, but don't
quite connect the dots. So big picture, what's the dilemma
(04:39):
for the Democrats, Well, they want to maintain control, and
they don't want just the White House. They want to
maintain control of the United States Senate. They worked hard
to steal it and maybe gain control of the House.
Not because they care about you, not because they care
about democracy.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
That says stake.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
They care about their power and their control over you.
So for the longest time, just as they did in
twenty twenty, they control the narrative because they control the
mainstream media, and they hide a cognitively impaired president. Then
the president does a debate and there's no hiding it anymore.
(05:18):
Now the media has turned on him, many Democrats have
turned on him. Is this guy in denial or is
he being defiant? Well, defiance in denial are a big
part of dementia, so it's probably both. But they got
a dilemma. And so a week ago we were asking
the question, how do you lose the presidency and still
maintain control of the Senate and try to get control.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Of the House.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Can you lose the top of the ticket but win
everything else, And there were many that thought you could
because the polls were suggesting, Oh, Biden may be down
six to ten points, but in the Senate races the
Democrats are leading.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
But that's changed.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So if you're wondering why the media and the parties
against Joe Biden, it's because they've come to the realization
this isn't just a Joe Biden problem, and we may
lose control of the Senate, we may lose control of
the House. We may lose control for over a decade.
Now they're in full press, full panic. So you get
(06:20):
George Clooney from Hollywood coming out, you know, I met
with Joe three weeks ago. That's not the same Joe.
Love your work, George, but you need to work on
your discernment. No, Joe Biden is not the same Joe
Biden of twenty twenty. But the Joe Biden of twenty
twenty was telling hair on the legs and corn pop
stories straight out of West Side Story, Remember the one
(06:44):
with they had the blades and they're sharpening him on
the curb and the black guy underneath the pool gave
him a chain. And Joe was out there and said,
first of all, I'm sorry. I called Jester Williams. Second
of all, I'm gonna take you out with his chain.
And then one looked at him and said, why are
we doing this? And then Joe said, I don't know,
why are we doing this? Next thing, you know, they
(07:04):
all went out and had a slurpee. I mean, just crazy, crazy, Stop.
That's why I say, if this is news to you
that Joe Biden is cognitively impaired, you you've been having
your hands over your eyes. And if it's news to
the media, they haven't been very honest with you. But
you got clooney. Now it's like they're saying, guy, Meatheadamn meathead.
(07:25):
Rob reinan stifled stifle yourself. This guy's gotta go away.
The problem, Jon Stewart, stop with the FMBS. This guy's
gotta go away. I mean, all this filthy talk from Hollywood,
but yes, Hollywood turning against the president. First, we had
the Colorado Senator Michael Bennett two days ago, this guy's
got to step down. Yesterday Vermont Senator Peter Welch, this
(07:48):
guy's got to step down. Why Because they're looking at
the polls and I just shared them with you a
half hour ago, go to the podcast, listen to our one.
But these Senate races are now being lost or their draws.
So it's not just a Joe Biden problem. Joe goes down,
He's taken the Senate in the house with him. That's
why they're in a panic. But here's some polling that
(08:11):
I want to share with you. I think it's our
story of the day, far and away, and I don't
know that you'll hear it anywhere else. It's first, it's fast,
it's accurate, depend on it.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
It's now.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Show business like business. That's why any program director out there,
they're by, Hey, that's a really nice, really nice shut
up there with credibility, and that depends on it.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
So this is an exclusive battleground poll. Yes, it shows
Joe Biden tanking in all of the swing states, but
watch the narrative. Democrats in a number of key states
are running behind their Republican opponents as Joe Biden continues
to struggle to contain the fallout from last week's presidential debate.
(08:55):
Poll results from the Remington Research across Arizona, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Wisconsin,
I don't know that I have Texas in there as
a swing state, by the way, or Montana quite frankly,
but Arizona, Nevada definitely, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania definitely.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Ohio not so much, but anyway enough for us to
take a look at this. The results suggest that Biden's
electoral struggles have been exasperated by larger issues within the
Democrat Party. Remember the big question, no, Remember the big
answer is this is not a Joe Biden problem. Joe
(09:39):
Biden being cognitively impaired isn't why the border's open. Joe
Biden being cognitively impaired isn't why we have inflation and
an economy. Joe Biden being cognitively impaired isn't why we
haven't recovered from COVID or we can't figure out what
bathrooms to go to, or what's a boy and what's
(10:00):
the girl. This is a worldview failure and a policy failure.
This is a death of consequence, a death of reality
over narrative. The Remington Poll polled voters across each state
from June twenty ninth to July first, coming up with
(10:22):
results with a margin of era four points in each state,
Trump is leading Biden by between three and twenty points.
The three is Michigan, the twenty is Montana, and Testers
going down. That's why tester is so concerned about Biden
staying in the race. And I can say the same
in Ohio, and I can say the same in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
The results also show Democrats across each state losing at
least a plurality of votes two Republicans running for US House.
Polling for the Senate is somewhat mixed, with Democrats leading
in Michigan, barely, Nevada, Ohio barely, Pennsylvania really barely, almost
a toss up, and Republicans now leading in Montana and Texas.
(11:05):
The Senate races in Arizona and Wisconsin are tied. But
the poll also covered opinions on generalized pushes to ban
or limit the manufacture of new gas and diesel powered vehicles,
hybrid vehicles, legislation and regulatory pushes in about a dozen states,
and by the Biden administration seeking to promote the manufacturer
(11:27):
of electric electric vehicles, which has kind of become their
cylindra issues. The voter's side overwhelmingly against Now listen, the
left hasn't even come to terms with This isn't just
a Joe Biden problem. He's going to take the Senate,
the House down with him. They haven't realized yet. It's
(11:49):
also a policy and worldview problem. Roughly sixty percent of
voters in each state said they opposed the regulations, while
roughly twenty percent supported them. They're on the wrong side
of reality. A large majority of voters in each state
(12:13):
said that such policies are either somewhat are very important
in deciding their vote. Yeah, the border's a big deal.
Israel's a big deal. The economy is a big deal.
The pole as respondents on their picks for US presidential election,
Trump versus Biden if it's Biden, as well as the
independent candidates led by Robert Kennedy at ten percent out
(12:36):
of the swing states, look, Trump leads Biden all swing
states Arizona by seven, forty nine to forty two, Michigan
by three, forty five to forty two, Montana fifty six
to thirty six by twenty, Nevada forty seven to forty
by seven, Ohio fifty one to forty one by ten. Pennsylvania,
Remember Pennsylvania, Trump wins Pennsylvania. Yeah, looks a lot like
(12:59):
twenty six. Biden loses Pennsylvania, he loses, Trump leads forty
eight to forty three, and the Senate race there is
now a draw. President leads Texas by ten, Wisconsin by six.
And as we often talk about, this isn't the twenty
sixteen map versus a twenty twenty map. No, it's kind
(13:21):
of its own unique twenty twenty four map, which is
not just a landslide for Donald Trump and a mandate
for his presidency. It takes down Democrat control of the
Senate and losses in the House that will take decades
to recover. That's the real reason. George Clooney, Rob Reiner,
John Stewart, Senator Bennett, Senator Tester, Senator Welsh, Axios, The
(13:47):
Washington Post, the Associated Press, the left narrative controllers are
all calling for this president, whether it's denial or defiance,
to step aside. The truth is they care about their power,
not you, not America, not democracy, not your right to
choose and lend your consent for governance. They care about
(14:11):
their power and the writings on the wall. The answer
to our question a week ago, can you lose the
presidency without losing the Senate and the House for decades.
And the answer is no, and that's why they're freaking out.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Delturno.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
And welcome to your morning show on Michael del Journal.
You know, I don't believe in news anymore. I think
we have narratives, and I don't believe in news consumers anymore.
We have narrative repeaters on social media. But if that's true,
here's what the narratives are saying. If you go to
the New York Times, the headline is Pelosi and others
try a new track with Joe Biden. Is that your
final answer? Trump rejoices at how the landscape has changed.
(14:57):
President Biden faced fresh calls to out of the race
as Democrats in Hollywood and Capitol Hill aired their concerns.
Peter Weilsher Vermont became the first, really second said it
democrat to publicly call him President Biden to end his candidacy.
And that's just the New York Times. Axios continues to
pound away, Washington Post continues to pound away. And if
(15:17):
you believe old narratives, somehow he performs well. Today it
is NATO news conference well, that'll make things all better.
Don't count on it. We'll have more in your top
five stories of the day coming up next. Well, there
are adult children living with their parents.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Are we now in.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
An era of endless parenting? Well as a child taking
care of two parents?
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I can tell you I don't think childhood ends at eighteen.
In fact, I think it begins at fifty. But something
tells me he doesn't end at eighteen either. Aaron Rayal's
here was one of our top stories today. Kids are
still at home? Eh, where's Aaron? Why don't I hear?
Speaker 2 (15:58):
I don't know, and we don't hear you? Mean off?
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Michael?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Now? I can I apologize for Aaron's technical difficulties?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
I'm sorry?
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Everyone listening if you can, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Now? You know what? I hear me?
Speaker 7 (16:18):
Now?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
You know what I always say. You're worth a weight, Aaron.
So we're not getting rid of our kids like we
used to. They're coming back.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Yeah, no, they're not. Only are they not leaving, they're
coming back and the parents are liking it, believe it
or not.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
So.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
According to Pew Research Center, seventy percent of response to
a survey with kids ages eighteen to thirty four say
they talk to their kid at least once a day
on the phone. Sixty percent help their kids financially. And
then there's another Harris poll that says forty five percent
of young adults in their twenties are living with their parents.
So this makes it the most common living arrangement for
(16:53):
that age group. This is the first time this has
happened since the Great Depression, Michael. And while you know,
like a lot of folks say, oh, this is a
lor it's a bunch of grown babies, and it's a
hopless generation, turns out not so much, because you have
social scientists and psychologists who poured over the data for
the past decade, and it turns out that these kids
are not that picture of like, you know, the slug
(17:14):
in the basement playing video games. What they are is
they're helping with the household income, they're helping with labor.
They have a nice relationship with their parents, and each
side is benefiting.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
So it doesn't take a village.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
That was a narrative and it failed with Hillary Clinton,
but it does take a whole family. Apparently, by the way,
this kind of you can put this together with the
latest survey that reveals sixty percent, and I can confirm
this because I'm living it with my kids. The number
one anxiety very similar to yours in mind when we
were their age in college, Oh my gosh, what am
(17:48):
I going to be? What am I going to do?
By the way, conflating what I'm going to be and do,
because I always, as I tell my daughters, that's two
different things. What you're going to be is what you've
been purposed, purchased and called to be. What you're going
to do for a living, it's probably going to naturally happen.
I don't know that God's all that concern as much
as who you're going to be while you're doing it.
But that's two different things. But right after that is
(18:09):
their anxiety of well, I'm never going to be able
to have a house. How am I going to afford
a house? And we're finding out sixty percent of gen
zs worry they may never own a home. This is
that home crisis we've talked about, the American dream of
home ownership. It may be out of reach for a
future children and no wonder many of them are either
having to stay at home throughout their twenties to save money,
or stay at home to help mom and dad paid
(18:30):
for that home. At least it's a roof over all.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Of our head.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
This is kind of growing into something that looks far
more permanent than transitory.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
Oh for sure.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
And like you said, it's driven by this confluence of
societal trend So, yes, this transition to adulthood is taking longer.
Kids are taking longer to do these things like get married,
have kids, but we're also living a lot longer and
then so young adults essentially what they need is this
guaranteed relationship that used to be someone that they knew
they could count on and they could go to first,
that was a spouse. So, and this is really important.
(19:01):
This panic again, it rests on the assumption that growing
up means leaving your family behind. That was not always
the norm in the US, actually only until World War Two.
After that happened, there was federal programs like the GI
Bill that gave young people this big incentive to buy
a house. So that led to couples going out earlier
(19:21):
and striking it on their own. That is not necessarily
the case with the cost of living with the cost
of real estate at the moment, and just the changing
shape of society. And again, children living with parents who
are helping with the household, labor, who are helping with
the income. It's a good thing, especially here in the
US for single parents. And by the way, the US
has the world's highest rate of children living with just
(19:44):
one parent. Both sides are benefiting from it. And then
the minutia that just like happens in life. Used to
share this with your parents because you were toiling in
the field.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Now you're just.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Sharing it over coffee or watching TV together. And if
you had listen, if your parents are trouble, get out,
if your kids are try that. You know, not every
situation is lovely. But if you have a nice relationship
with your parents, you trust and you know they love you,
and vice versa with your kids, there is no there's
no evidence or data that says pushing them out is
(20:12):
better for any party.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Aaron Rael joining us the latest survey showing adult children
living at home with their parents. This is looking more
like a permanent movement than a temporary one. You know,
most days I'm thrilled with it. My one daughter has
a habit of doing the treadmill and then leaving. I
don't know why she likes to leave with the remote
(20:36):
control to the television with her. So then I come
to my bedroom to watch the Yankees before I go
to bed, and I can't find the road control. I'm
digging the bed apart and everything, and then I go, oh,
I'll bet Alex was on the treadmill. I find it
in a kitchen, all right, So that markets egty, But
you know there's a lot of good that comes from
it too, you know, So I don't know. I mean,
(20:57):
we have the side hustle economy that Rory's going to
discuss in a few minutes that's becoming more and more permanent.
And then we have the kids staying at home or
at least you know the one that you brought up
that's most fascinating. Well, we all live longer, so you know,
I guess we'll just extend that decade from the twenties
to back at home. I will say this, ready or not.
I was gone at seventeen and I never returned home,
(21:19):
and thank god I never had to. But as a parent,
my perspective is I love the thought of my kids.
I'd rather have them be with me than out somewhere
making mistakes.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Yes, I know what everything you just said, Like you
couldn't have paid me to live with my parents at eighteen. Literally,
I know that was not it. But I was a
different generation. And I also think I have very little
kids now. But I'm like, I want them to achieve
everything they want in life. I want them to feel
feel feel fulfilled. But no, I would love it if
they came back and like, like that would not be
(21:49):
a problem at all. It would make my heart warm,
and I hope they stay close by or I can
stay close to them. But again, it's it's this fine
line between dependence, over dependence and then just really liking
each other's company, which.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Happened to the empty nest scenario.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I mean, by the time I'm done taking care of
my parents, by the time my kids leave, what do
I get five minutes a piece before I rest in peace?
Other than that, you have any good news for us.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
There, Aaron Rayel.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah, for those of you that are mourning that your
kids are going off to college, don't don't be back.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
Don't don't worry. It's a break knocks out a chae.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Great reporting are We'll talk again.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Tomorrow, forty three minutes after the hour. If you're just
waking up, here's what you need to know. Your top
five stories of the day. Well, the chorus of Democrats
calling for President Biden to exit the twenty twenty four
sweepstakes is growing. Louder Mark Mayfield has the story.
Speaker 8 (22:42):
New York's Pat Ryan on Wednesday became the eighth congressional
Democrat calling for Biden to step aside in a New
York Times op. And on Wednesday, longtime Democrat George Clooney
pleaded for Biden to withdraw. He said he recently hosted
a fundraiser for the president and noted he was not
the Joe Biden of twenty ten or even the Joe
Biden of twenty twenty. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stopped
(23:03):
short of saying Biden should remain in the presidential election,
even after Biden just said he's staying foot. Pelosi said,
the decision is up to the president. I'm Mark Meefield, or.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Even the Jill Biden of twenty minutes ago. Thank you,
john that's funny, shoff, thank you, Johnny. President Biden's top
campaign advisors will meet with Senate Democrats today, as the
Democratic lawmakers are growing concerned.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Over Biden's candidacy. Lisa Taylor has.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
More senior advisors Mike Donollan, Si Berschetti, and Biden campaign
chair Genomalley Dillon will join a special caucus lunch meeting
at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. The meeting comes after
Democratic Senators John Tester, Shared Brown and Michael Bennett have
said they think Biden will lose to Donald Trump in
the general election and hurt the party's chances of holding
the Senate. Tester and Brown are two of the most
(23:50):
vulnerable Senate Democrats. A handful of House Democrats, meanwhile, have
called on Biden to drop out of the race. I'm me,
Sa Taylor mean.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
While President Trump is getting closer and closer to announcing
his run mate, yesterday's indications would be exciting to do
it at the convention or maybe right before. Who are
the top picks? Well, there's no North Dakota Governor Doug
Bergham that's high on a lot of people's lists. Our
White House correspondent John Decker is still sticking with Donald Trump.
Junior Nikki Haley. No, those are the three we can
(24:19):
rule out. Nikki Ailey Niggi Hale, Marco Rubio probably high
on the list. JD Vance. Although there were rumors that
the President doesn't like beards, the President puts that to rest,
saying no, he's like a young Abe Lincoln. One thing's
for sure. He ramped up his attacks on the current
Vice president Kamala Harris and who the choices are for
the Democrats if they move forward without Joe Biden.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
You know, you got some good people, and I have
changed a little bit, but you have They're all great.
Anyone would be fantastic. Anyone would be a lot better
than laughing Kamala, She's terrible.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Kamala is just terrible. Kevin Costner's Horizon in American Saga
Chapter two is being from its August release. Tammy Trihilo
Expank explain the.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Film still remains set for a theatrical release, with the
new date still to be decided. In a statement of
Variety in New Line, cinema spokesperson said they've decided not
to release the film on August sixteenth in order to
let audiences discover the first installment by either renting it
or watching it on the Mac streaming service. Chapter one
open two eleven million dollars in its first weekend in
(25:24):
theaters and never gained traction at the box office. The
franchise is meant to span over four films. I'm Tammy Trihio.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Well, if you're looking to beat the heat this summer,
today could be a good day. You can stop by
any seven eleven for a free slurpee. Gotta find a
seven eleven. They're not everywhere like they used to be
on every corner. And this doesn't work for ICs and
flushies or whatever else. Somebody's gotta go to seven eleven
and it's gotta be a slurpee. But today it's free.
(25:53):
It's National Slurpy Day. By the way, if you haven't
figured out the calendar, it is seventh month, July seven,
eleventh day, seven eleven, seven eleven stores slurpe National Slurpey Day.
What a coincidence is that cowinky dinky if I ever
heard one? And that's your top five stories of the day. Hi,
it's Michael. Your morning show airs live five to eight
am Central six to nine Eastern in great cities like Memphis, Tennessee,
(26:16):
tell Usa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California. You'd love to be a
part of your morning routine, but we're happy you're here now,
enjoyed the podcast, Thanks for waking up with your morning show.
I'm Michael del Journal Things you need to keep an
eye on Today. President Biden will be sitting down for
an exclusive one on one interview with NBC, hoping it
goes better than the one with ABC. He also has
this big solo press conference today. There are some still
(26:38):
clinging to the narrative. Hey, if he looks presidential today,
he'll be fine. Meanwhile, Vermont Senator Peter Wells joins Colorado
Senator Michael Bennett and calling for the President to step down.
And the FED Chair Jerome Powell brought the Central Bank
semi annual Monetary Policy Report to the House. He's been
testifying all week long as America is still hoping for
(26:59):
some interest rates to be reduced to help at home
money with David Bonsen will join us on that to
follow the news break next hour. In hour three, and
it's a new study that's out and have found more
than one in three of us in America have a
side hustle. Rory, We've become the side hustle economy and
nobody ever talks about it. Good morning, what's your side hustle?
(27:22):
By the way, I.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
Haven't figured it out yet, I know. Well it's interesting
though in that the Bank Great Survey also found an
asked with a follow up question of well, what's.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
The money for?
Speaker 9 (27:33):
You know, are you doing it because you can't afford
the rent or you need to put groceries in the refrigerator,
or is it because you're paying off your credit card debt,
or maybe you're putting the money into your savings account.
A lot of people said they were doing it. It's
sort of their mad money is how they use it.
So this is something that we've seen spike really in
the past two years, as you mentioned, something we've seen
(27:55):
since the return of inflation. And it's a pretty good
dollar nearly nine hundred bucks a month on average.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah, I mean, well, you know some of this is
everything always kind of points to COVID, but you know,
everybody was sent home and then they realized, you know,
it's not so bad to be home. You know, it
just got us to look at money different, our budgets different,
and then people started doing side hustles.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
I think you hit the nail on the head.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
The most fascinating point is what we're doing with it
in that you know, is this because really inflation takes
up all of our money just for groceries, just for gas,
just for electric, just for the mortgage or the remp
just for the car payments, and there's nothing left for entertainment, vacations,
are going out to eat, And it seems to be
more that right than it is you need the side
(28:41):
hustles to pay your bills.
Speaker 9 (28:43):
Well, it's a third to third a third, so it
really thirty seven percent said it's for discretionary purposes, thirty
six percent edits for the necessities so and the other
third said they think they'll always need a side hustle
in order to make ends meet. And of course then
you can break down by demographic age wise, and things
are very different. Gen z ers are more likely out
(29:05):
there to be doing these kinds of things, not surprising
they're starting out Baby boomers and gens gen X less likely.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
But still out there.
Speaker 9 (29:14):
Plus, you've also seen the emerging opportunities out there, you
know Etsy and people you know using home printers to
personalize items and sell them online. For sixteen percent, they'd
love to make their side hustle their main job, but
for a lot of them. You know, it's sort of
these crafty things they sell at the farmer's market on
(29:34):
the weekends or sell online.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
A lot more opportunities for people to make money on
the side.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Yeah, Rory's joining us on side hustles.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
You know, I was thinking, this is what made me
think of COVID.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
You know, we started, you know, having food delivered, and
then you know, I have a friend who doesn't have
a car. The thought of not having a car was
unthinkable for me. And then ever since watching him, I'm like,
you know what, the thought of not having a car
is very thinkable. We have these neighborhoods now where everything's
kind of right in the neighborhood and if you need
to go somewhere you uber. You don't have any car insurance,
(30:06):
which is through the roof, you don't have any car payments,
and car prices are through the root. Stuff delivered. But
it all created great side hustles. I mean I would
rather uber or door dash than sit stand in a
retail store all day.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Or I don't know about making donuts. I eat more
than I make.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
But do we have anything on the list about what
the top side hustles are. Uh?
Speaker 9 (30:29):
They didn't go into details, but obviously a lot of
it is going to be a lot of those home
based businesses, and then of course the delivery businesses like
never before, I did have the Pete the Dominoes guy
came in a teslat the other day.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
That's that's a high end delivery, right exactly.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I'm like, okay, it's alright.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Well, while Rory takes an hour to try to figure
out what his side hustle will be, We've got Sonny
and oh I always pride myself butch and Sonny trapped
in space not lost in space, but trapped in space.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Or we'll be back with that story next hour.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Thank you, Rory, all right, when we come back, David Bonson,
you know, we keep cutting to this. I don't think
there's any coming as far as interest rate cuts, but
the complexity of cutting. Is it always good to cut
interest rates? It may feel like it is and in
the would it help you, but it's actually not necessarily
a good thing. Should we be hoping for interest rate cuts?
(31:23):
Should we be expecting them? Our visit with Money was
David Bonnson is coming up.
Speaker 8 (31:27):
This is Shannon Gregory and my Morning show is your
morning show.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
