Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
We'd love to have you listen every weekday morning to
your Morning show live, even take us along with you
on the drive to work. We can be heard on
great radio stations like one oh four nine The Patriot

fifty k FYI in Phoenix, Arizona. Love to be a
part of your morning routine, but we're always grateful you're here.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Enjoy the podcast starting your morning off right.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
This is your Morning Show with Michael gil Jordan.
Speaker 5 (00:37):
Gunfire leaves two women dead at a Kentucky church. Trump says, Bongino,
and he spoke on Sunday and he's in good shape.
And it was Chelsea three to nothing over Paris Saint
Germain and the FIFA Club World Cup or is it FIFA?
I was trying to sound so knowledgeable about soccer. President
(00:59):
even joked around that he was thinking about doing an
executive order to make sure we refer to soccer as
football in the US. The President and First Lady Milanya
Trump huge hits attending the World Cup. Fine, all right,
it's eight minutes after the hour. Welcome to Monday, July,
the fourteenth year of our Lord, twenty twenty five. I
(01:19):
hope you all had a wonderful week and I did.
And now it's time to get rocking and engage in
an understanding where we're at in the courtroom of public
opinion concerning some of the top stories. And the big
focus really is Donald Trump. One year after the assassination attempt,
some new.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Ultimatums given, and.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
This time to all the major companies or countries rather
that we do import from, so a very significant window
of uncertainty concerning tariffs, and then of course the drama
in the dugout. We don't need another Elon Musk for this.
More we turn to all Things Republican. Republican consultant analyst
(02:03):
Chris Walker is also a contributor here at your morning show.
Good morning, Chris, Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
How are you. I'm doing good? All right, So I
guess there's several ways to look at it.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
You know.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Dan Bongino talked about the Epstein case a lot. He
gave up a lot to serve at the FBI, and
then this giant sweeping under the rug. He then lays
out an ultimatum, it's me or it's Pam Bondi, which,
by the way, now his credibility is at stake, because
if you give an ultimatum like that and you say
(02:34):
it's me ror and you know it's neither, and then
you stay, you know, then you start to lose credibility.
So this is again, and this happens in every administration.
You're gonna put the best people together you can for
the best positions. Some will make mistakes that need to
be replaced, some will not get along with others. That
all happens. But what do you make of this Trump
(02:55):
dugout drama? And can this be smoothed over? And why
don't we know more about Epstein?
Speaker 7 (03:03):
Yeah, you know, we're diving round in this morning.
Speaker 8 (03:06):
You know, there's no.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Time like the present.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
I did indeed, indeed, I think at the.
Speaker 7 (03:17):
Beginning of administration, you know, bringing those those binders out,
talking about Phase one, building up a kind of a
media narrative and an expectation that she may not have
even known was realistic.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
You know, I just I.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Think she, you know, gave a Cuny interview with Songs
and just turned into she said she had a.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
List and it didn't exist.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I'm not sure that's what.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
She said, but you know, on the.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
Whole, I think it was handled pretty poorly at d
o J. And I think Dan Bongino and Castell and
others are probably rightfully, you know, correct in their assumption
that to they feel a little bamboozled by it as
to the American people. But look, I know Pam Pam
Terry general was a tremendously fantas as cotturn in general
in Florida, and I don't sense a level of deceit
(04:04):
from her from the standpoint of, you know, wanting to
get to the fact, I think she probably misspoke. At
the beginning administration, she came in, you know, having had
high expectations based on, you know, kind of an outsider's
perspective getting involved in it, probably seeing that the Biden
administration probably you know, less than with little things to
(04:24):
work with. Let's not forget. I mean, if the Biden
administration had a big detail of information I've been bad
for Donald Trump Republicaus, they would have used it. So
in a way, I think there's a it may may
not have been possible to reach to the level of
an expectation of the conspiracy quote unquote that people want
to see.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
Out of it.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
So you know, look, Dan Bongino and Pam Bondi and
Cash Mattel are all kind of patriots and heroes, and
you know, I think we should be. You know, when
they're saying things that they're that's not realistic, I kind
of give them a little bit of benefit of doubt
on that. However, I do think there there is a
you know, certainly a you are side of this early
part that was you know, mishailed very poorly.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
All right, So let me break it down this way
might give everybody a different way of looking at it,
because I you know, I have no idea. You know,
narratives take form and everything is spread out over so
many different levels of media. I don't know if you're
on this social media site or that, or if you're
listening to this podcast or that, or if you're listening
(05:25):
to this radio show or that, or this television show
or that.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
So it's also narrative.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
By there are probably some that are out there right
now believing this has been swept under the rug because
Donald Trump's probably there's something condemning about him. I don't
think anybody really buys that. There might be names that
could be conflated and confused. You know, they may have
had associations with Epstein, they may have been on his plane,
but that doesn't mean they were up to the sexual deviance.
But they'll get lumped together, so we want to protect that.
(05:52):
It could be a lot of things. But here's what
I want to bring up that puts all that to
the side. The key to all of this is can
Donald Trump. I mean, the Democrats, they're a party that
might be coming to an end, and they got to
find a leader and a voice, and then the people
and their constituents have to choose it.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
They got a long way to go.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
But for Republicans, the key is simple handing off trump Ism,
whatever that is. And I happen to be firmly believing
that on the older end it's Reagan Revolution, in the
middle it's Tea Party movement, and then it's also made
up a lot of MAGA and Trump's supporters. He's got
to do a seamless handoff to the next generation or
(06:31):
guess what. Both parties could be irrelevant and as soon
as twenty twenty eight. This isn't helping that. So let
me ask the question this way. If Donald Trump smooths
out everything and this a big smooths out everything on tariffs,
he secures the border, he improves manufacturing, he improves the economy,
even gets around to solving the housing crisis, and maybe
(06:57):
even get us going down the road of really significant
addressing of the debt. Is that a successful presidency if
all that happens and he doesn't have a successful handoff,
because right now, the list of other things like Epstein, uh,
like what happened in his assassination attempt, like a fake presidency.
(07:21):
There's a lot of other things that were promised and
people were hoping they'd get some truth on and some
consequence on that hasn't been delivered. Does he need both
to have a successful presidency.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
It's a good question, Michael I would say no, But
you know, I feel like that's going to be a
long word answer to than this morning's question. But you know,
look like he has had one of the without doubt,
one of the most successful months of any presidency. The
I ran strike, you know, the ending of a war
in Africa, you know, the record high you know, kind
(07:57):
of an economic improvement.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
You know, the resident has had a.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
Tremendous record over the last month, and having the distraction
of Epstein, while understandable and frankly, you know with merrit Is.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Is kind of a distraction.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
So you know, obviously there's a lot that have to happen,
but like, let's not forget that the accomplishment that the
president has done in his first six months in office,
and we're just getting started. So in a way, I
think we have a lot, you know, the big beautiful bill,
all other pieces of it too. I mean obviously there's
like a you know, a double sword there. But this
is a very successful presidency, so irrespective of who he
(08:33):
adds it off to next, what he's doing right now
and the mandate he was given to the American people
is one of success. So yes, I think he can
have a successful presidency, irrespective of the handoffs.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
All right, Visiting with Chris Walker, Republican consultant, analyst, and
a regular contributor here on your morning show every Monday,
we do all things Republican. One year ago yesterday, the
assassination attempt. You know, still so many questions now new
information that perhaps there was two weeks notice on this,
(09:08):
but I don't even need that. You got a guy
trying to get through security with a rangefinder, and the
President still goes on stage. He's then lost track of
and the president still goes on stage. He's then seen
climbing up a building and the President's still on stage,
and he's allowed to get seven shots off before the
snipers take him out while the president's on stage. You know,
(09:29):
there's a lot of answers that we all still need
on that. But the big question is, I say, America,
it was a dramatic difference when John F. Kennedy didn't
leave Daily Plaza alive. Instead of rolling back the New Deal,
you got the Vietnam War and the Great Society. That
is a significant path difference in the United States. Donald
(09:52):
Trump turns in a split second and lives. Imagine where
we'd be now if I would presume Joe I would
have never dropped out of the race, and you're having
a second term of of Biden and Harris. I don't
have to tell you from the Border alone, let alone
the Big Beautiful Bill, none of that's a reality. How
significant is that dramatic moment in history?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
A year ago.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
You and are both people faced. And you know that
that was a truly divine moment that I just don't
you know, I'm sure you've seen the video of just
the angle that if he had turned his head what
second later, wouldn't be here. And I mean he said
so in his convention speech. I mean in a way
he said I shouldn't be here right now.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
And I think that was indication of kind of a
mandate that even in his own mind he has in
his second term.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Oh look, I mean that.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
Was a it was a moment that I'll never forget.
I was in Milwaukee for you know, that was the
weekend before the RNC convention tact I mean just everything
changed dramatically that weekend. The failures of the Secret Service
and the failures of the protective unit around him. I
think we're you know, indicative of a broader kind of
(11:08):
you know, failure of the federal government. I hate to
kind of put it into such a long term, but
I mean, look like institutions across the you know, the
nation's capital are failures. Look at the State Department and
look at the you know the failures that we see there,
and you know, USAID and all these other things that
the president is working to try to overturn. It's all
based on the function of that.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
You know, a lot of these.
Speaker 7 (11:29):
Federal bureocracies are absolutely you know, meritocrat, you know, meritorious failures.
So from that perspective, it's not surprising. But it is
also something that just you know, defies any amount of
logic or reasoning in terms of understanding how that could
have happened. And thank goodness it didn't, and thank goodness
there was a divine intervention there, because goodness gracious. I mean,
(11:50):
I agree, is this one one head turn and we're
talking about much different situation that you know, I've just
and it goes to your earlier point too, like can
the president have a successful you know term? This is
about him, right, I mean, there's so much about this
that that's him and his leadership and his gut instinct
and his you know, ability to kind of enact policy
(12:11):
that a few others can do. And I think a
reminder of Butler is a reason to you know, kind
of the benefit of the doubt for him has earned
in my view, you know, beyond most measures that I
would have given a politician. And look, you know, every
politician's and fall you know, as fallible, like, let's not
forget that. But at the same time, you know, the
president deserves a lot of leeway given the team that
(12:32):
he's built and the goals that he's trying to achieve
on a macro level for the country.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Had the assassin achieved the assassination, there's no question would
be in much different place as a country. But even
in the attempt, I think Donald Trump is a much
different Donald Trump this term, so I mean you either way,
America has been reshaped by the attempt alone. Not to
mention probably one of the most iconic pictures ever Fight
(12:59):
Fight Far I fist in the air literally, and I
mean goodness that that moment was such a I put
myself in.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
In in in his shoes. If that were me on
the stage, I don't think I'd have the character and
the courage for what he did. I'd be you know,
I can't imagine somebody getting back up look having the
instinct to go back to the crowd and tell him
that that he's okay and to tell to urge people
to fight. Goodness, what a what a moment. And that's
(13:29):
not just about a picture, that's about the man and
what he you know, uh, facing literal gunfire and standing
up to it and breaking his fist in defiance.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
It's just can I can I say it in a
really in a really crude kind of simple way. Prior
to that, it was him versus the alternative. From that
moment on, it was that leader and that man. That's
what swung the difference. Final minute, there's a new poll
out I'm gonna do this coming up, but it delivers
some pretty troubling signs to Democrats. This is a Democrat
(14:01):
poll with Democrat polsters, and it all comes back two words.
It ought to be your party's slogan against them, But
what do Democrats feel about their party?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Woke and weak? What do you make of that?
Speaker 7 (14:16):
I mean, I'm glad that Democrats have self awareness of
what they are. I mean, there's no better definition of that.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Actually, it's two different things, because I think there's some
that see they're losing on wokeness and there's other that
thinks they're weak and they're weak because they're not being
left enough. So it's actually it's a great description of
their own divide, but it's also a great description to
use against them.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
Well, the weakness that they would describe is basically just
the hatred for the president. And you know that's that's
a that's a different, different conversation, but you know all
it's it's classified mostly.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Through Vondani and New York right.
Speaker 7 (14:55):
I mean, that's the new avatar of of far left grievance,
which is basically communism and a new name, and that
and of itself should frighten anyone in New York, anyone
across the country to see the Democrats, that's where they're going.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
This is your morning show with Michael delle Choina. I'm
run derby tonight. I'll start game tomorrow night.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Gunfire leaves two women dead at a Kentucky church, and
House lawmakers are set to vote this week on a
number of cryptocurrency bills. Meanwhile, I was talking about that poll.
It was conducted by Unite the Country. It's a Democratic
super pack showed voters perceive the Democrat Party is out
of touch, woke, and weak. Here's this moment in what's
(15:38):
left of a two party system. Again, disproportionately more leaving
the Democrat Party to become independent than the Republican Party
to become independent. But you're pretty close to three parties now,
and the out of touch means they're not pivoting back
towards the American people. In fact, half their parties trying
(15:59):
to pivot woke, and the weakness could be coming from
both sides, those that think they're not going left enough
and fighting Trump enough. This could pose some serious trouble,
not only for the donors and the bundlers, but for turnout,
especially in battleground states Orhouse and Senate seats are up
for grabs about a year from now.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I'm executive chef George Harveille.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
My morning show is Your Morning Show with Michael Dojorna.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Hi, it's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Your Morning show can be heard on great stations across
the country like Talk Radio eleven ninety and Dallas Fort
Worth Freedom one oh four point seven and Washington, DC
and five point fifty k FYI and Phoenix, Arizona. We'd
love to be a part of your morning routine or
take us along on the drive to work, but as
we always say, better late than never. Enjoy the podcast
if you're just getting up. Gunfire left two women dead
(16:57):
at a Kentucky church. We really don't know.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
So it appears early on that this person might have
stolen a vehicle, which is what got him pulled over
to start with, where he shot an officer, but was
trying to get to this church that he may have
the motive may have been to get to this church
and harm These two individuals will know more. Trump said Bongino,
and he spoke Sunday and he's in good shape.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Now.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Meanwhile, there's this story, which is huge. President promised to
make America great again. You're gonna hear him in a
moment talk about how his life was spared a year ago,
probably to fulfill the promise of making America great again. Well,
employment numbers suggest he is. The surface numbers actually hide
(17:43):
just how good the Trump economy has been for American workers.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Overall.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
The number of employed people in the United States has
increased by one point five million since January of this year.
You could make a case as drum matic is closing
the border. Never mind two hundred thousand people trying to
enter the country in a single month. That's down to
(18:08):
six thousand, zero allowed in compared to the tens of
thousands a year ago, two years ago. I mean, he
simply solved the border. Even in that Democrat research, I
was just sharing with you a moment ago, and it's
not lost in that research. They continue the Democrats continue
(18:31):
to lose the They have the support of the communists,
they have the support of the socialists, they have the
support of the Trump deranged, but they continue to lose
the support of the working middle class, the Hispanic, the
blackmail vote.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
These are the kind of numbers that do that. They
left panders and talks a good game to them. Donald
Trump delivers.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
One point five million new employeed people since January. One
point five million people working getting a paycheck is far
more important than even whether Dan Bongino likes some Pambama.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
He's done with the Epstein stuff.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
When you look at just American born workers, the Trump
job boom is even greater. Over two million more American
born workers are working today than they were in January,
and the number of foreign born workers with jobs has
actually fallen by five hundred thousand.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Now, what does that do to the narrative? They're doing
the jobs Americans don't want to do.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
When Biden first took office, the economy was already recovering
from the COVID lockdowns, but it hadn't fully recovered yet.
Overall Between January of twenty one and January and Front
twenty twenty five, the economy added almost fourteen million jobs,
but most of those jobs were added only with p
people going back to their jobs after being sent home
(20:04):
and paid to stay home. The number of employed people
in the United States didn't match the pre COVID peak
until July of twenty twenty two, at one hundred and
fifty nine million. Remember, the workforce is something to keep
an eye on. The unemployment rate is almost a worthless
number because it doesn't take into account those who have
left the workforce, or those who left lost a two
hundred thousand dollars job and are now making fifteen dollars
(20:26):
an hour somewhere. That's called under employment, and none of
that is figured in. So these are good numbers to follow.
Since then, the Biden economy added almost three point three
million jobs, but only one hundred and eighty nine thousand
of them went to American born workers. The remaining three
point one million jobs under Biden's economy all went to
foreign born workers. In short, the Biden economy was great
(20:53):
for foreigners. The Trump economy is great for American workers.
And unless we have more voter fraud. That's exactly who's
going to be voting in the midterm elections.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
The consequence, it's the.
Speaker 9 (21:07):
Best way to get back on your fee is to
get up.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Off your eye. I've been living renfree in that guy's
head for years, and that's just the vote.
Speaker 9 (21:13):
Do you call that chicken a d They're just blowing off.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Steep, always revealing, often entertaining. Time for your sounds of
the day. Well, one year ago yesterday was the assassination
attempt on Donald Trump. Who gets the glory from being
alive today? Now the recording of the President himself, it's God.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
God was protecting mention. Maybe because God wanted.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
To see our cut, peat you better or do really
well make America great again. But God was protecting me, Brian,
I'll tell you it's the more you think about it,
the more you see it. But uh no, I just
I don't like to think about it much. You know,
I have a job to do, so I don't like
to think about it much. It's a little bit of
a dangerous profession, being president, the.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Dangers of being president. The President elaborated on that, uh
and talked a little bit more about the Secret Service
in general. In this interview with his daughter in law.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
But they brief me, and I'm satisfied with it. I'm
satisfied with it. They should had somebody in the building.
That was a mistake. They should have had communications with
the local police. They weren't tied in, and they should
have been tied in. So there were mistakes made and
that you know, shouldn't have happened. And that building was
a prime building in terms of what they were trying
(22:33):
to do. So but I was satisfied in terms of
the bigger plot, the larger plot, I was satisfied. And
you know, have great confidence.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
In these people.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
I know the people and they're very talented, very capable.
They had a bad day, and I think they'll admit
that had a rough day. This is a very dangerous
job being president. You know, I say a race car
driver one of one percent, think of that die. It's
not a lot A bull rider. I think that's pretty dangerous.
(23:10):
It's like one tenth of one percent die, and with
a president, it's like five percent. Why didn't you tell
me this, I could have maybe made a different decision.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
So the president obviously very gracious. That perspective comes from
crediting God more than happenstance. It also is put into
perspective with the larger Iranian plot, so he sees the
(23:45):
good they've done, but boy, what a bad day and
what a different president because of it. And we would
have been in a much different place had it gone
a different way. This was an interesting exchange with Dana Bash.
Obviously far left, CNN and borders are Tom Holman. Now again,
(24:11):
this is a clash of narratives because you either have
law and order or you have lawlessness and chaos. There's
no in between. And when you enforce the law, you're
not being heartless. That's your job. Every one of us
(24:34):
lock our door at night. Does that show a contempt,
a mistrust, or a hatred for others or a love
for those within the home. But the left continues to
pound at this narrative, and I know you guys are
seeing it all over social media. The latest attack from
the left is all these notions that in the name
(24:56):
of Jesus, the Republicans are doing all these things, all
these awful things. Nobody ever really gets specific about what
it is, what enforcing the law, cutting waste, fraud, spending.
It's interesting that left is never interested in Jesus. Now
(25:19):
suddenly they are. And faith comes by hearing and hearing
by the Word of God and through discipleship and by
the Holy Spirit, and in being in a relationship with God.
It doesn't come from either party while you're looking for
God there. Jesus wasn't interested in that with Barabbas, he
(25:39):
wouldn't be interested in today. And he's above all the nations.
But that doesn't stop CNN, and that doesn't stop Dana
Bash And I usually love Tom Holman in these situations
because that's when he shines the brightest.
Speaker 8 (25:56):
But you just said that there are called collateral arrests,
and that is sparking fear in communities where people are
again scared to go out. So I guess my question is,
do you have compassion for those people who are seeing
what's going on, hearing you speak, seeing what's happening in their.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Neighborhoods translation enforcing the law is uncompassionate?
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Well, here comes the answer.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
Shouldn't have any concern, but do just because of the reality.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Data.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
The bottom line is if you want less collabor arrest
and let us in the jail, I mean, we want
to arrest a bad guy in the safety and security
of the accounty jail, but sanctuious cities released in this community,
which means we've got to go in the community and
find him. And when we find that bad person, many
many times, whether it's at the work site or in
the community, they're with other people, other people in the
United States. So legally, and we're going to ICE enforce law,
(26:55):
uphold the oh they took. We're not going to be
like the last administration who told ICE instructed ICE, you
can't arrest somebody for simply being here. Legally, they got
to be convicted of a serious offense. That's how the
law says. We're enforcing the law. But look, immigration enforcement,
I'm gonna be clear, Immigration enforcement has always been emotional.
It's always been controversial. I've been doing this since nineteen
eighty four. I get it, and I understand why people
(27:18):
want to come to the greatest nation on Earth. I
get it. But we can't send the message to the
whole world it's okay to enter this country. Lead you
don't worry about it, even though it's the crime. Come
and enter legally, and when you get order removal from
a judge, you don't have to leave. You can become
effusitive and we'll never look for it. We got to
send a message the whole world. There are consequence of
(27:39):
breaking laws, and I think that's why one of the
reason we have the most secure boarder in history this
nation today.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
It's just not because we got boots on the ground
on the border.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Not because we end the catcher leaves a lot of
these consequences. You're watching what's happening. We're enforcing the immigration law,
and I think that consequence has a lot to do
with having the most secure border in.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
The history of this day, which I love because when
we look at the number of people trying to come
in that's down from one hundred and fifty two hundred
thousand to six thousand. He's right, ninety five percent of
the battle is the enforcement and the consequence, and they
(28:19):
don't come in the first place. We're very compassionate nation
and we're very welcoming to immigrants. There's a legal way
to do it, and then there's an illegal way to
do it. Moral relativism playing a dangerous game with eternity.
Legal relativism, well, you've just experienced it. Compare last year
(28:43):
to this year. I was talking about some of the
problems in that internal polling for the Democrats. Here's NBC
News Steve Kernaki analyzing what Republicans are up against as
they seek to protect their majority in both chambers.
Speaker 9 (28:58):
Listen, yeah, let's take a look at this big picture
midterm landscape here from the standpoint of Republicans trying to
protect these majorities they used to pass this legislation. Good news,
bad news for Republicans politically. The good news start on
the Senate side for them, and it's this. They do
have that fifty three forty seven majority right now in
the Senate. It means that Democrats would need to post
next year on the Senate side a net gain of
(29:20):
four seats. Remember, if it lands fifty to fifty with
Trump as president, his vice president JD. Vans would break
the tie. So Democrats would need to get a net
gain of four seats. Here, and you just start to
look at the map. Look at some of these seats
that are up. Look where they're up. Democrats going to
be playing defense in Michigan, a state that Trump won
narrowly John Ossoff in Georgia, you know, a Trump state
right there. Meanwhile, how many Republicans are going to be
(29:43):
up in hair states. The answer is only one at
Susan Collins up in Maine. And Collins, of course has
survived some very difficult climates before. So the map here,
just in terms of the math for Republicans, it's favorable,
very favorable to Republicans holding that major already. We'll see
how it plays out, but they're probably feeling good about
at least hanging on to their majority.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
There.
Speaker 9 (30:04):
It's the House side, though, and you just heard those
comments you played from Mike Johnson. Right here, this is
what the balance of power looks like in the House
right now. These three vacancies, they are in Democratic districts,
so functionally you could say two twenty two point fifteen
right now. What that means for Republicans is two twenty.
That means if they lose net three seats in the
(30:24):
House next year, their majority is gone three seats. And
here's what history says about how the White House Party
fairs in midterm elections. These are the seat changes in
the House. We're going back here to LBJ in sixty six.
Look at all that red ink. The redd ink here
doesn't mean Republican, it means losses. It means the losses
(30:45):
of seats only two times here since this is in
this modern Ana, have you seen the White House's com
comparing to history, not to reality, and they may find
it's two different things.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
It's interesting.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
The Republicans were thoroughly convinced we're going to get a
red wave. Now the Democrats are thoroughly convinced they're gonna
get a blue wave. I guess nobody wants to compare
to that history, right.
Speaker 9 (31:13):
People who majored in online activision with a minor and puberty, Bob,
they're going.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
A little bit.
Speaker 9 (31:19):
Any of you in the media clearly missed the art
of the deal.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
It's going to work out. Yeah, that's your Sounds of
the Day.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chorno.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Boy, this morning flew by fast. All Right.
Speaker 5 (31:33):
We've got some uncertainty on the Tara front, as the
president's given a new deadline of August first for several
that we trade with the most. We'll have to watch
that play out, claims he had a conversation with Dan
Bongino on Sunday and everything's in good shape. We'll see
how that plays out. And it turns out we spent
about twenty four billion dollars this year during Amazon Prime Days,
(31:57):
I tried to buy one pair of golf shoes, only
they have them send me the wrong size twice and
in the third time charge me twenty dollars more. I
think I was just as Roy O'Neil predicted. I was
amazoned ry. They're expecting more spending cuts. I think that
you know, we began that process, but they were sure
a sek expecting more information and promised more information on
(32:19):
the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. For Donald Trump's most vocal supporters,
where does this leave his base?
Speaker 10 (32:27):
Well, right, it's just a lot of disappointment, and it
was organized and vocal this weekend at Turning Point USA,
the Student Conservative Group at a meeting in Tampa this week,
and we heard from a lot of leading voices in
what you could call the MAGA movement expressing their frustration
at this decision to stop the Epstein investigation, not to
(32:47):
release any more information. And as you brought up, you
add this to the new debt that they're adding on
with the spending bill more weapons today for Ukraine. It
seems like a few of the promises that were made
during the campaign aren't coming to fruition.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
Yet well, here's what he got, here's what he has.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Going for him.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
The border was the big promise, and man, he locked
it down. You have it allows these six thousand even
trying to enter and zero getting in. That's a major
set making permanent. The tax cuts in the Big Beautiful
bill came with some spending that made people uncomfortable, but
they could still address that. But he does get them
the tax cuts secured. I just did a story on
(33:29):
a million and a half new jobs. I mean, he's
still delivering for the working class. I mean he's achieved
a lot of promises, made promises, cap there's just a few.
I think people want to know who was president for
four years in a fake presidency and ensure that never
happens again. I think you promised stuff on Epstein, JFK,
MLK and you didn't deliver. I don't know how it
(33:50):
weighs out, but Dan Bojino could hurt him more than
Elon Musk. So in the president's my advice, Presidence, I
hope you have I hope you have smoothed that out
because that could be problematic.
Speaker 10 (34:04):
Well, look, and we've also seen the president going on
truth social to say what's going on with my boys
and in some cases girls, sort of acknowledging he can
see that within his own base, there's some grumbling there. Look,
liberal media outlets are going to make a whole lot
of this.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
I get it.
Speaker 10 (34:18):
You know, they're gonna say, oh, they're falling apart, they're fractured,
it's you know, it's whatever. But there's clearly, though, some
disappointment on a few different fronts here.
Speaker 5 (34:28):
The base's fust They're not gonna I was gonna say
the base.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Is frustrated, but they're never going to turn on Trump.
But it is a contention of frustration, that's for sure.
Roy and Neil great reporting us always. We'll see you
guys tomorrow morning. Thanks for listening. We're all in this together.
