Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael del jorno and your morning show can
be heard live as it's happening five to eight am
Central and six to nine Eastern on great stations like
six twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or Akrons, News Talk
six forty WHLO and Akron, Ohio and News Radio five
seventy WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a
part of your morning routine, but we're glad you're here now.
(00:22):
Enjoy the podcast two.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell Jordan. Thank you,
Mike McCann. Seven minutes after the hour, Welcome one and
all to Tuesday, July the fifteenth, pay Day, twenty twenty five.
Sad News Waking up this morning. John macarthy died at
the age of eighty six. The American pastor, Christian theologian Calvinist,
(00:55):
founder of Grace to You, the nationally syndicated radio show,
died of applications due to pneumonia at the age of
eighty six. Put that with Jimmy Swagger. Those are two
significant deaths in the Christendom. Roughly fifty million people across
the Northeast are dealing with flash floods. Former President Biden
says he made every decision on his own when defending
(01:16):
the use of the auto pen at office. And the
Democrats not polling well. Not in the latest Harvard Harris poll,
where four in ten respondents approve of the job they're doing,
Republicans got a forty eight percent approval rating, neither above
fifty percent. The Democrats now at forty percent. That's not
the numbers they wanted to see right before the midterms.
(01:37):
And last night cal Riley got a million dollars and
won the home run derby. The Seattle Mariners catcher was
the first catcher to ever win the home run Derby.
He will start behind home played tonight in the All
Star Game in Atlanta, where the American League has won
twenty two of the last twenty seven games against the
National League that's dominant since nineteen ninety seven. And get
(02:00):
to the Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano. Can't have your morning
show without your voice. Let's give the Lieutenant Colonel a
proper introduction. Another beautiful Tuesday morning with the colonel.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Let's go.
Speaker 6 (02:08):
Everybody gather around the kitchen table, grabbed your double espresso,
and let's listen to the colonel.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
You know, I gotta tell you, I love sharing brilliant
minds with my audience, but I don't like my audience
enjoying my brilliant minds more than me. James Carafano is
a lieutenant colonel. He's one of the brightest military and
foreign policy voices in the world today. I'm honored to
have him on once a week. You can read his
work and his colleagues great work at Heritage dot Org.
All right, so the president, we all knew the door
(02:38):
that Vladimir Putin chose, and that is to continue to
fight in a war that he can't win. That's certainly
his prerogative. The enemy has to say and if they
want to fight another year, fine, But the president just
with a game changer, gave him fifty days or else,
and the or else is sanctions and one hundred percent
tariffs on anybody they do business with. Now you're Russia,
what do you do?
Speaker 7 (03:00):
Well?
Speaker 6 (03:00):
You know, first, the first thing I want to do
is is I think people explain Trump wrong. And this
is you know, kind of pitched as well. Trump is
learning who Putin really is.
Speaker 8 (03:12):
From the beginning, absolutely, and what what if he has
learned anything, He's learned how Putin has changed the Putin
in the first term really got the.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
Message get out of my way. You get out of
my way, and I will leave you alone. And after
killing the mercenaries in Syria, pulling out of the treaties
of the Russians, retreating on Putin got the message and
he respected Donald Trump's space.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
I think that's the nicest way to put it. Yep.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
But colonel he may have also thought that it was
just a flash in the plant, flash in the pan
four years too. And now Donald Trump's back, and now
it's a movement. It's really the formation of a new party. Uh.
And he's into Ukraine and he's looking for a way out,
and he's really testing the waters and he's he's messing with.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
It's not the in a sense, it's not the Putiny
faced in the first term.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Just Putin is way too deep. And and the other.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
Thing people don't realize is Trump does have a party
that he has to lead. By definition is diverse. It's
not like the Democrats. It's not we're all Lemon like
have to think the same thing. It's it prides itself
and not having an orthodoxy.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
It has people with very different views on foreign policy.
But he has to do what's in this America's interest.
But he also has to bring his party with them.
So some of this is showing the base that, look,
we can't abandon Ukraine.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Sorry guys, you know, it's just it doesn't work for us.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
It's not in our interest to have the Russians and
the Chinese run wild all over Europe.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
That that doesn't work.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
So but we're going to do it in a way
that minimizes risks to the United States.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
So my because I don't think there were Russians, really
can't do much.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
Dust but to show my my more restrained, unsure part
of the party, I got this. So he has given
Vladimir Putin to every chance to cut a deal.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
H he has. He is.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
He is doing more in a way that is putting
pressure on Putin.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
It is ensuring the survival.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Of Ukraine, which is a much bigger deal, but also
the way that is demonstrating the people I'm not reckless,
I'm not stupid and doing so. I think he's walking
in a line much the way FDR did in passage
World War two. But but but in a way to
bring the party with him. So I actually think he's
doing I don't want to say it. I think he's
(06:02):
doing a brilliant job. I mean, I never could be honest,
I never thought that negotiating thing was going to work.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Because what what Trump did is what.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
He always does. He goes, you want an off I'll
give you an off ramp. Here's a good deal. Take
the freaking deal.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Well they didn't, and they trust to fight it. So
now there's no saving face. Now you've got fifty days
or else. And I think, you know, first of all,
there's two brilliant things here. One uh, the way we'll
provide the weapons, NATO will buy them and distribute them.
All right, that's brilliant, I mean. And by the way,
how's that for a middle finger? That's NATO that Russia
(06:41):
is a part of finding out.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
It's not actually NATO.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Everybody's said that it's actually Norway and Germany.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Right, it's not NATO. There's no NATO. NATO doesn't have right.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
But but and I and I actually said to the Germans,
I said, you know, it doesn't matter. Trump's going to say,
it's NATO, right, you got that right, And because it
sounds like, you know, NATO's paying for this, but it's
the Germans in the Norwegians.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
But what's the difference.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
But it's still not blank checks from America to part
of that constituency that's had a problem. So the President
finds a brilliant way to get them their weapons without
just like we got the minerals deal, something we needed
that pays us back for the blank checks Biden wrote
for an invasion. That probably Biden's weakness, cause I get
all that, But I mean this is I mean, if
you'd have talked to well first of what I'm dancing
(07:34):
around is yesterday I wanted to talk to you about
how different the world might look today had Donald Trump
been assassinated, and you were like, no, tomorrow, trust me,
we're going to talk about Russia. So I think you
have a little bit more to say in the design
of this strategy rather than just analyzing it. But I
think it's brilliant, and I think it's brilliant in that
if you're if you're Russia, now you had a chance
(07:55):
to take the deal and save face. That's over, you
choose to fight another year, what do you care? It's
mostly North Korean's troops that are going to be dying
or fighting for you. And now that what's the interim
game to end it? Prior to a year? This brilliantly
and I didn't see this coming. And not just the sanctions,
but anybody that does business with you will start paying
(08:16):
a one hundred percent tariff price. This forces his hand.
That's why I come back to our first question, Lieutenant
Colonel James Carafano joining us. Now you're Vladimir Putin, you
better take this deal.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Look, I still don't think he has to take the deal,
because I do think the Russians can find ways to
keep going and fight on if they want to. So
I'm not even sure that the threat. You know, everybody
gets one hundred percent tariffs. You know, most of this
is coming from North Korea and China. The Chinese will
(08:48):
find a way to cheat, they'll put it through the
North Koreans and North Kreans are already sanctioned anyway, We're
not doing business with them.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
So I'm not even sure that this crinks it down.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
But it does do something else, that's which which is
ten billion dollars. That's ten billion dollars being spent on
the American defense industrial base. We need to ramp up
our defense industrial billities in our production, and this is
this money is going to help pay to build build
out the industrial base. It's going to replenish our missile stocks,
(09:19):
our our our towery stocks by our drone industry.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
So Americans are not just going to benefit.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
We're gonna benefit because it's going to help defend Ukraine,
which is in our interest, right, It's going to benefit
and that we're gonna get ten billion dollars, which is nice,
and it's gonna help build our defense industrial basis. So
it's a triple win for.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Us really, all right, And then that begs this question
because we had roy O'Neil on earlier and he was
talking about China basically controls seventy percent of the drone market.
We've got to meet. I mean, we don't need a
Manhattan project to do it, but this would be handy
money to do it. All right, Let's let's spend our
final time with the question I was going to ask you.
(10:05):
You know, uh, I'm an apologetic apologist for John F. Kennedy.
I really think that was a defining, game changing, shifting
never the same trajectory for America. His death in daily Plaza,
this is a guy that was going to roll back
the New Deal. Let alone, his death led to the
Great Society and one of the great failures in political history.
(10:30):
So we're a different country because John F. Kennedy is killed.
We're a different country because Donald Trump turns his head
and a split second at the right time. How different
is the world? Where would we have been? First of all,
I don't think Biden would have left the race. He
wouldn't have had to, and he hadn't yet, So I
presume a second term with an auto pen in Kamala Harris.
How different does the world and foreign policy look?
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Let alone the border, Well, you know, everything, everything that Americans.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Liked in the world today would not have happened.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
There's if you if you wanted lower inflation, if you
wanted to real economic growth, if you wanted a secure border,
if you wanted you know, people trying to come into.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
The border to be going near near zero.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
If you wanted Iran put back in a very very
small box in an unprecedented six amount of time, Israel
to survive. If you wanted, you know, China to be
put on notice, and if you wanted to significantly reduce
the potential for a widening war in Western Europe, none
(11:32):
of that would have happened.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
I absolutely guarantee.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
That nothing would have Remember Harris said in an interview,
they said, what would you do different than Joe Biden?
Speaker 5 (11:42):
She said nothing.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Nothing.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
So nothing would have changed in the world, except everything
would have gotten worse for America. It's not a political comment,
it's not a Republican develop it's just it's just it's
just subjective reality.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
I'll add one nuance that I think is significant, and
that is going back to my earlier point. I think
Putin was different the first time, probably because he you know,
what's four years, you know, and this guy's going to
be gone. He's a flash in the pan. Well then
he's gone, and he gets aggressive and offensive, he invades,
(12:16):
but then he comes back. You don't think Putin was shocked.
He won a primary in a courtroom with a muzzle
on his mouth, and then went on to win the
election and survive and assassination. I mean, all these things,
and he knows it's a movement now, so that even
when Donald Trump is gone, the torch gets passed, probably
to JD. Vance, maybe to Marco Rubio, but that the
(12:37):
Republican Party itself has now become an American party. It's
probably the Reagan Revolution meets the Tea Party meets Maga.
He knows he's got to deal with this in the
long term. And I think that has impacted America as
impacted the world.
Speaker 6 (12:51):
That is the most important thing is that has changed
because Donald Trump lived, is there are over fifty percent
of Americans who are now willing to believe in America again,
who aren't afraid to be patriotic, who aren't afraid to
challenge things in their face which are obviously stupid.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Who are who are to.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
Say that just changing what America is and is something
that's not America anymore, it's not okay. That would not
have happened because people would have been afraid to stand.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Up and say that without without Donald Trump. And maybe
that's the most important thing of all.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
And I think the funding Fathers in their declaration and
then through living it became the world's biggest nightmare by example,
and then we became our own nightmare through war with ourselves.
And I think the world is sensing America's back to
living its intent and thus being a great shining example
to the world, and thus enemies of the world like Russia, China, Ron,
(13:55):
We're back to being their worst nightmare.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
I think that's pretty significant. Can I give you a
really stupid example of this.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Sure, I love stupid examples. I'm stupid.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Look watch the debate over the Movers movie Superman that
just came up. There are people on the right that said,
this is whoa, this is terrible, blah blah blah. But
there are also people saying, hey, Superman actually acts like
a man. Superman actually like, where's a suit that goes red.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
White, and blue?
Speaker 6 (14:27):
So we're actually and you you could argue because people
just want to make a movie that makes money, right,
and so in that movie you could say, well, there's
woke threads in here, But you could also say, you
know what, there's there's some very positive, masculine, very patriotic.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Did you did you see the movies?
Speaker 5 (14:45):
I did.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Okay, I went just to be because I hate these
kinds of movies, but I went to be with my
son and my wife. Yeah, but no, I loved it.
I thought it was great. I thought it was Jaws meet. Yeah,
and then I didn't see any of these overtimes. I
think the most was the director's comments that he made.
But that speech to you know that that you'd have
(15:07):
to be really hotterly sensitive for that. But yeah, how
different the world is because Donald Trump has lived, he's
still acting, he's still leading, he's still the adult in
the room, and he's still winning. Lieutenant Colonel James Carafond,
you can read his great different country.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
What's that is that? Because we are becoming a different country?
Were but the coming country that people thought? He said
the words, you know, the American dream. But this actually
could be a country where you can live the American dream.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
That is the biggest change.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Yeah, and just in time for the two hundred and
fiftieth birthday, beyond my wildest dreams. All right, Lieutenant Colonel
James Carafano. As always, I hope you satisfied, Big John
and the others. We'll have you back next weekend or
sooner if conditions weren't.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Hey, this is Top Cop Kathy Hinters in my morning
show is your morning show with Michael Dell Jorno. Hey, Gang,
it's me Michael. You can listen to your morning show Live.
Make us a part of your morning routine or your
drive to work companion on great stations like Talk Radio
(16:15):
ninety eight point three and fifteen ten WLAC in Nashville,
Tupelos News and Talk one oh one point one and
ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk six to fifty
KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love to have you listen live,
but are grateful you're here now for the podcast.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Enjoy. Thanks for bringing us along with you on the drive.
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Journal, honored
to serve you. Jeffrey serving us all up with sound
Red keeping an eye on the content. We got roughly
fifty million people across the Northeast dealing with flood watches today.
As the rain continues to pound, President Trump continues to
pound and frustration against Russia to reach a peace deal
(16:54):
with Ukraine. We're gonna have more on that with John
Decker coming up. And the Major League Baseball All Star
Game is tonight in a Atlanta. The Senate is debating spending.
It could trigger oh that word again, the looming government
to shut down. Rory O'Neill is here with the latest.
Done that. Good morning, Rory. Yeah, good morning, Michael.
Speaker 9 (17:11):
So we've got a big vote happening later this week
on these recisions or clawbacks from federal spending that were
already approved by Congress. But the Trump administration wants to
stop the outflow of the cash. They want to stop
the money that goes for a lot of international aid
programs like USAID, for the anti AIDS programs that in
(17:33):
Africa that started under former President George W.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Bush.
Speaker 9 (17:37):
And they also want to pull back more than a
billion dollars that had been already authorized for the Corporation
for Public Broadcasting NPR and PBS. So that's on the line.
Some senators are on the fence about it, Republican senators.
So let's see how especially as it relates that they
like the support for the anti AIDS program in Africa.
So let's see if they if to perhaps make final
(17:59):
change is before a bout this week.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
A lot of these are what DOGE recommendations, right right,
and this is sort of a trial balloon.
Speaker 9 (18:07):
If they can get this nine and a half billion
dollars got, then they'll go through with some other recommendations
from DOGE.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
But same, you know, we were joking earlier this is
becoming like an ongoing soap opera like the Sands through
the Hourglass. These are the days of the Trump Lives
because it's the same game over and over again. So
the question is it's going to take Republicans to stop this,
(18:33):
And there's always this drama that you know, a couple
of them don't like it, but in the end they
all come in line. So does this episode play the
way the previous episodes played?
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Well?
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Right, but look, the.
Speaker 9 (18:44):
Last time around, Lisa Murkowski got a lot done for Alaska.
Let's see, if you know, in order to get her
on board with the big beautiful bill. You know, let's
see if this can be massaged to help us Maine
or Alaska.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Again, how important is it that the Senate get the
play the playbook right before it goes to the house
where it's a little tighter.
Speaker 9 (19:04):
Well, it's already passed the house, so this is right.
So when it passed the house, it started a forty
five day clock and I think the eighteenth is day
forty five, So that's how those send it up.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
But if you make a change, it goes back too though, right.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
Yeah, but that should be pretty rubber stampy, which leads
us back to the beginning.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
All right, Rory. By the way, we just had to
talk with Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano, and part of the
triple win is this NATO deal, which he was very
clear it's really you know, Germany and one other country,
but it's going to produce ten billion dollars, ten billion
dollars that they plan to use a lot of to
And he even mentioned by name the investment in drones
(19:47):
and competing in drone productions. So one of your stories
got a little follow up from another one of our
contributors and experts. Good work, and as always, Rory, we'll
be back again tomorrow morning with more great reporting. And
we're going to visit with John in just a few
minutes about Vladimir Putin and his deadline and how he
may respond and why the President is off to Pittsburgh.
That's all straight ahead. Well, obviously, the biggest story of
(20:10):
the day, the President comes up with the fifty day
ultimatum to Russia, and that ultimatum is you end this war,
and you end this war in fifty days or else.
In addition to the sanctions, in addition to providing weapons
for Ukraine in a way that is actually funded by
other countries, not just the US. We're also going to
(20:31):
do a one percent tariff on anybody you do business with.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
The President spoke to reporters at the White House.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
We're going to be doing very severe tariffs if we
don't have a deal in fifty days.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
While meeting with the NATO Secretary General Mark Ruta, Trump
also announced a new deal to sol top of the
line weaponry to NATO, including defensive patriot missiles meant for
distribution in Ukraine. Trump had been blaming both sides for
the continued war in Ukraine, but lately it has been
putting most of it on President Putin, adding he thought
he had a deal in about four times.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
I'm mark meeview.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Another defeat for activist judges and another big victory for
Donald Trump. The Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration
to resume its layoffs at the Department of Education.
Speaker 10 (21:11):
US Secretary of Education Linda McMahon is pleased at Monday's ruling.
Speaker 7 (21:16):
This is a real it's a real victory I think
for the future of American education.
Speaker 10 (21:21):
McMahon said not being able to fire Department personnel was
a roadblock to the White House goal of returning education
back to the States and out of the hands of
the federal government. The court ruled six to three to
lift the judge's order that reinstated employees let go in
mass layoffs. I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Well, Andrew Cuomo isn't going anywhere. He's staying in the race,
but as an independent for mayor in New York. Natalie
macgliori has more.
Speaker 11 (21:48):
Sources tell News Nation that New York's former governor is
set to make the announcement he's running as an independent
sometime this week. But it comes as no shock to
New Yorkers.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Classic Cuomo because he's selfish.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
It's a narcissist.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Clomo's campaign says.
Speaker 11 (22:03):
The sixty seven year old blends to ask Gold candidates
except Zoran mam Donnie, the Democrat nominee, to back out
of the race if they are not in the lead
by the middle of September.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
But he doesn't have the right to say that they
might have a good connection if they get together to
beat Mandanni, but the chances off.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
I don't really think to see that happening. I'm Natalie Migliori.
NBC News Radio are using the rank file system. That's
how they got Zoran Mandani through the toughest part, which
was the primary. Had you had a runoff, well the
current mayor or Clomo would have been gone and then
things probably would have evened out. So now what's the game. Well,
(22:42):
one of the games is first just strut him around
like a darling of socialism. Well that kind of had
a rough run yesterday because the minute he started doing
a few questions and they started asking questions about him
being a socialist and other thingsquickly his handlers jumped in,
I think we're done here. We got to go. We're sorry,
(23:04):
that's going to do it. Obviously their planned to hide
him in plain sight like they did Joe Biden blew
up in their face. And don't forget that was a
low turnout to some degree. So turnout could even the
playing field. But there are many the belief somebody's gotta
go the current mayor or Cuomo to keep this nightmare
from happening. Well, the price of Mexican tomatoes could be
(23:26):
going up soon. Tammy Treheo has more.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Trump administration announced in April that it was withdrawing from
an agreement that set minimum prices for Mexican tomatoes imported
into the US. The Commerce Department also announced a new
anti dumping tariff to prevent Mexican importers from flooding the
market with cheaper tomatoes. There'd been a push for the
administration to delay the tariffs for another ninety days, but
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik said the decision is in line
(23:50):
with President Trump's trade policies and approach with Mexico.
Speaker 12 (23:53):
I'm Tammy Tricheo.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Paul McCartney's Got Back Tour is returning to North America
this fall. Maybe I'm Amazed to do you love Me
all the Time? Maybe I'm Afreie the way I Love you.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
The twenty twenty five runo Got Back consists of nineteen dates,
starting on September the twenty ninth in Palm Swings, California,
and wrapping up in Chicago, Illinois, November twenty fourth and
twenty fifth.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
General tickets go on sale this Friday.

Elon Musk, of course, is obsessed with getting to Mars.
We talked to our futurist Kevin Sarelli, who said this
is not a crazy dream and it's likely to happen
within fifteen years. Turns out a big chunk of Mars
has already come to Earth and it's up for auction.
Speaker 10 (24:49):
Southerbast in New York says the opening bid for the
fifty four pound space rock is one point six million dollars.
It was found in the Sahara Desert in twenty twenty
three and is more more than twice the size of
any other known Mars rock found on Earth. Sotherby says
the meteorite has a reddish brown fusion crust, which gives
(25:09):
the item an unmistakable Martian Hugh.

I've never been a fan of gummies, and certainly not
ones that look like worms, but today is National Gummy
Worm Day.
Speaker 12 (25:18):
The German candy company Harrowbo takes credit for inventing the
gummy in the twenties, but they became a North American
suite in nineteen eighty one. Gummy bears came first, followed
by the worms. They taste the same with three flavors,
but it's the shape people reach for. The gummy worm
was intended to be fun and slightly icky. Eat up
once they're open. They have a seven day shelf life,
(25:40):
sharing optional. I'm pre tennis.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
I've been accused of favoring my Arizona listeners, but this
really is one of my favorite stories of the day.
Police and Tempe Arizona say they're committed to serving the community,
even when that means completing a pizza delivery. Two officers
finished off a delivery earlier this month after arresting the
rub hub driver responsible for the order. Video posted on
(26:03):
social media shows a surprise customer receiving the pizza after
being told the driver was taken into custody. The post
said the order was hot and ready, the suspect was
caught and steady. Unclear what the delivery driver was arrested for,
or if she tipped the police officers, or if a
(26:25):
bunch of people got really scared with the munchies and
flushed all their marijuana when the police delivered their pizza down.
Just no way of knowing what all's buried in that story.
Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Riley had eighteen home runs in
the final round to beat Tampa Bay's Junior Caminero and
win the home run derby in Atlanta last night. That's
the first catcher to ever win the home run derby.
(26:48):
I predicted to my son Nicholas, he would win the
home run derby before I went to bed. He will
also start behind him play for the American League in
the All Star Game tonight. That the American League has
literally dominated twenty four of the last twenty seven games
since nineteen ninety seven. It's Your Morning Show with Michael
(27:11):
del Chorno. I'm trying to think. I would have never
thought I'd dream about being in prison, and I did.
Started out being a bad apartment complex in New Orleans,
but it turned into a prison, and then I never
would have dreamt Carlton, your Dorman, would have come up
on today's show, but he did also a great interview
with James Carafano. If you missed any of today's show,
(27:31):
the podcast will be up in about an hour. You
didn't miss a thing. Catch up and listen today if
you're just getting up and rolling. This morning, we got
a roughly fifty million people across the Northeast dealing with
flood watches. The rain continues to pummel the East, the
President putting the pressure on Russia, former President Biden saying
(27:51):
he's made every decision defending his use of the auto pen.
I'm not sure that's a defense. That's might be the
only thing more frightening, what if he really was president
in that condition? And then finally, why the President's heading
to Pittsburgh and the ultimatum to Vladimir Putin, which we've
talked a lot about today, but let's do it now
(28:12):
with White House correspondent John Decker. Good morning, John, I
am there here, Michael A good let's start. What's the
President doing in Pittsburgh today? I am curious.
Speaker 7 (28:27):
Yeah, it's a trip that was just added.
Speaker 13 (28:30):
To the schedule. He's was invited by Pennsylvania's new senator,
Senator McCormick, who's got a good relationship with the President's
focused solely on economic issues, and I'm sure we're going
to hear from the President what he viewsed as the
benefits of the new, big, beautiful bill sign that took
(28:50):
place last week and how it will benefit Pennsylvanians in particular.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
I did like the President yesterday, and this was at
the faith. I love that he brought up what would
have happened had we not done it, and then he
did his best imperson impersonation of our Friday with forty
seven impersonation. He started cracking me up talking about you
guys would go broke, you'd lose your beautiful wives.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
You know.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
It was hilarious. But there's not a lot of talk
about what if we hadn't done anything. I think that's
a great angle for the President to explain bipartisan lee
what this bill does and what the alternative was, which
would be what the largest tax increase potentially at the
worst possible time, and other things. So it'll be interesting
to see if he takes that same tack today in Pittsburgh.
(29:35):
All Right, the ultimatum v Vladimir Putin. A lot of
genius things going on here. One. Putin's decided he wants
to keep fighting in a war he knows he can't win,
and he wants to take another year. You know, I
guess to cost some more of his own troops lives
in Northern Korean troop lives. This is a way of
the President trying. I gave you a good chance to
get out and save face. Now here's an ultimatum. No
(29:56):
more saving face, but get out in fifty days or
we're going to really tighten the screws.
Speaker 7 (30:01):
Well, that's right.
Speaker 13 (30:02):
So two big announcements from the President yesterday in the
Oval Office with the NATO Secretary General Mark Ruda.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
By his side.
Speaker 7 (30:09):
One announcement what you just alluded to, the announcement that
if Russia does not come to a peace.
Speaker 13 (30:15):
Deal within fifty days, the US would impose differ trade
tariffs not only on Russia, but on any country that
does business with Russia one hundred percent trade tariffs. The
other announcement, the US will permit NATO countries to purchase
from the US ammunition as well as military equipment, including
(30:37):
those Patriot missile batteries, and those NATO countries in turn
will provide that to Ukraine. That will happen literally within
a matter of days. And that's a game changer, Michael,
because it really does make the war for Russia unwinnable.
And you know, I think that's the message that the
President wants to deliver to President Putin.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
It's an unwinnable war, come to the negotiating table, declare victory,
and go home.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
But it's a great win in it in bringing peace
about and getting them to go ahead and take this
off for him, but it's also a win for his
base that doesn't want to see blank checks going. Well,
now you've got a mineral rights deal coming from Ukraine
to pay back a lot of our investment. Now you
got a way of producing these arms and then selling
them to NATO. And I know it's primarily Germany and
(31:22):
a couple of other countries paying for it, but this
is NATO. It actually builds our economy, helps secure Ukraine,
and really tightens the screws on Vladimir Putin. I loved
red'sline earlier when he said they'd like to play good
Bolshevik and bad Bolshevik. So you have Medvedev coming out
and saying, well, it's a ridiculous ultimatum to give to
(31:43):
Russia and not necessarily a peep out of Vladimir Putin.
So what now, John, We wait to see what the
reaction will be from Putin.
Speaker 13 (31:52):
We wait and see, We wait and see if those
drone strikes continue on a.
Speaker 7 (31:57):
Daily basis from Russia.
Speaker 13 (32:00):
And the fact that these patriot missile batteries will now
be conveyed to Ukraine, they can defend themselves because those
patriot missile.
Speaker 7 (32:08):
Batteries are really the best equipment in.
Speaker 13 (32:10):
The world as far as a defense system to ward
off these daily attacks coming from the Russian military.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
John Decker, great reporting, as always. We'll talk again tomorrow,
all right. In conclusion, I just kind of wanted to
end where we started, which is there's a bit of
a full circle to the today's show, because there's a
bit of a circular, repetitive motion in the news stories
and whether it's the border, whether it's wars, rumors of
(32:39):
wars and ending wars. I mean, here's another great example,
and I get it. You know, you haven't you put
an administration together, And I don't A lot of people
think Pam Bondi's days are numbered. I don't think so.
I don't know why they haven't done a better job
of explaining some of this Epstein stuff. But all right,
so you have a cup of the elon. This thing
(33:00):
kind of blows up a little bit. It's a minor distraction.
The Epstein thing could be handled better, or it's a distraction.
And we still don't know what the status of Dan
Bongino is. But on the things that matter most, securing
the border done, secured standing by Israel, and ending this
battle with Hamas done, and now a major checkmate move
(33:24):
to Russia on the war with Ukraine. The president, we
had what one point five million middle class jobs created
for Americans they had Today we got the news that
the economic confidence hit a four year high. I mean,
this president continues to win and those who continue to
doubt him and rebel against him continue to lose. That
(33:48):
is an obvious ongoing pattern. We're all in this together.
This is your Morning Show with Michael Hill, Joano
Hi, I'm Michael del jorno and your morning show can
be heard live as it's happening five to eight am
Central and six to nine Eastern on great stations like
six twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or Akrons, News Talk
six forty WHLO and Akron, Ohio and News Radio five
seventy WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a
part of your morning routine, but we're glad you're here now.
(00:22):
Enjoy the podcast two.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell Jordan. Thank you,
Mike McCann. Seven minutes after the hour, Welcome one and
all to Tuesday, July the fifteenth, pay Day, twenty twenty five.
Sad News Waking up this morning. John macarthy died at
the age of eighty six. The American pastor, Christian theologian Calvinist,
(00:55):
founder of Grace to You, the nationally syndicated radio show,
died of applications due to pneumonia at the age of
eighty six. Put that with Jimmy Swagger. Those are two
significant deaths in the Christendom. Roughly fifty million people across
the Northeast are dealing with flash floods. Former President Biden
says he made every decision on his own when defending
(01:16):
the use of the auto pen at office. And the
Democrats not polling well. Not in the latest Harvard Harris poll,
where four in ten respondents approve of the job they're doing,
Republicans got a forty eight percent approval rating, neither above
fifty percent. The Democrats now at forty percent. That's not
the numbers they wanted to see right before the midterms.
(01:37):
And last night cal Riley got a million dollars and
won the home run derby. The Seattle Mariners catcher was
the first catcher to ever win the home run Derby.
He will start behind home played tonight in the All
Star Game in Atlanta, where the American League has won
twenty two of the last twenty seven games against the
National League that's dominant since nineteen ninety seven. And get
(02:00):
to the Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano. Can't have your morning
show without your voice. Let's give the Lieutenant Colonel a
proper introduction. Another beautiful Tuesday morning with the colonel.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Let's go.
Speaker 6 (02:08):
Everybody gather around the kitchen table, grabbed your double espresso,
and let's listen to the colonel.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
You know, I gotta tell you, I love sharing brilliant
minds with my audience, but I don't like my audience
enjoying my brilliant minds more than me. James Carafano is
a lieutenant colonel. He's one of the brightest military and
foreign policy voices in the world today. I'm honored to
have him on once a week. You can read his
work and his colleagues great work at Heritage dot Org.
All right, so the president, we all knew the door
(02:38):
that Vladimir Putin chose, and that is to continue to
fight in a war that he can't win. That's certainly
his prerogative. The enemy has to say and if they
want to fight another year, fine, But the president just
with a game changer, gave him fifty days or else,
and the or else is sanctions and one hundred percent
tariffs on anybody they do business with. Now you're Russia,
what do you do?
Speaker 7 (03:00):
Well?
Speaker 6 (03:00):
You know, first, the first thing I want to do
is is I think people explain Trump wrong. And this
is you know, kind of pitched as well. Trump is
learning who Putin really is.
Speaker 8 (03:12):
From the beginning, absolutely, and what what if he has
learned anything, He's learned how Putin has changed the Putin
in the first term really got the.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
Message get out of my way. You get out of
my way, and I will leave you alone. And after
killing the mercenaries in Syria, pulling out of the treaties
of the Russians, retreating on Putin got the message and
he respected Donald Trump's space.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
I think that's the nicest way to put it. Yep.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
But colonel he may have also thought that it was
just a flash in the plant, flash in the pan
four years too. And now Donald Trump's back, and now
it's a movement. It's really the formation of a new party. Uh.
And he's into Ukraine and he's looking for a way out,
and he's really testing the waters and he's he's messing with.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
It's not the in a sense, it's not the Putiny
faced in the first term.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Just Putin is way too deep. And and the other.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
Thing people don't realize is Trump does have a party
that he has to lead. By definition is diverse. It's
not like the Democrats. It's not we're all Lemon like
have to think the same thing. It's it prides itself
and not having an orthodoxy.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
It has people with very different views on foreign policy.
But he has to do what's in this America's interest.
But he also has to bring his party with them.
So some of this is showing the base that, look,
we can't abandon Ukraine.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Sorry guys, you know, it's just it doesn't work for us.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
It's not in our interest to have the Russians and
the Chinese run wild all over Europe.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
That that doesn't work.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
So but we're going to do it in a way
that minimizes risks to the United States.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
So my because I don't think there were Russians, really
can't do much.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
Dust but to show my my more restrained, unsure part
of the party, I got this. So he has given
Vladimir Putin to every chance to cut a deal.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
H he has. He is.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
He is doing more in a way that is putting
pressure on Putin.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
It is ensuring the survival.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Of Ukraine, which is a much bigger deal, but also
the way that is demonstrating the people I'm not reckless,
I'm not stupid and doing so. I think he's walking
in a line much the way FDR did in passage
World War two. But but but in a way to
bring the party with him. So I actually think he's
doing I don't want to say it. I think he's
(06:02):
doing a brilliant job. I mean, I never could be honest,
I never thought that negotiating thing was going to work.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Because what what Trump did is what.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
He always does. He goes, you want an off I'll
give you an off ramp. Here's a good deal. Take
the freaking deal.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Well they didn't, and they trust to fight it. So
now there's no saving face. Now you've got fifty days
or else. And I think, you know, first of all,
there's two brilliant things here. One uh, the way we'll
provide the weapons, NATO will buy them and distribute them.
All right, that's brilliant, I mean. And by the way,
how's that for a middle finger? That's NATO that Russia
(06:41):
is a part of finding out.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
It's not actually NATO.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Everybody's said that it's actually Norway and Germany.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Right, it's not NATO. There's no NATO. NATO doesn't have right.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
But but and I and I actually said to the Germans,
I said, you know, it doesn't matter. Trump's going to say,
it's NATO, right, you got that right, And because it
sounds like, you know, NATO's paying for this, but it's
the Germans in the Norwegians.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
But what's the difference.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
But it's still not blank checks from America to part
of that constituency that's had a problem. So the President
finds a brilliant way to get them their weapons without
just like we got the minerals deal, something we needed
that pays us back for the blank checks Biden wrote
for an invasion. That probably Biden's weakness, cause I get
all that, But I mean this is I mean, if
you'd have talked to well first of what I'm dancing
(07:34):
around is yesterday I wanted to talk to you about
how different the world might look today had Donald Trump
been assassinated, and you were like, no, tomorrow, trust me,
we're going to talk about Russia. So I think you
have a little bit more to say in the design
of this strategy rather than just analyzing it. But I
think it's brilliant, and I think it's brilliant in that
if you're if you're Russia, now you had a chance
(07:55):
to take the deal and save face. That's over, you
choose to fight another year, what do you care? It's
mostly North Korean's troops that are going to be dying
or fighting for you. And now that what's the interim
game to end it? Prior to a year? This brilliantly
and I didn't see this coming. And not just the sanctions,
but anybody that does business with you will start paying
(08:16):
a one hundred percent tariff price. This forces his hand.
That's why I come back to our first question, Lieutenant
Colonel James Carafano joining us. Now you're Vladimir Putin, you
better take this deal.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Look, I still don't think he has to take the deal,
because I do think the Russians can find ways to
keep going and fight on if they want to. So
I'm not even sure that the threat. You know, everybody
gets one hundred percent tariffs. You know, most of this
is coming from North Korea and China. The Chinese will
(08:48):
find a way to cheat, they'll put it through the
North Koreans and North Kreans are already sanctioned anyway, We're
not doing business with them.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
So I'm not even sure that this crinks it down.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
But it does do something else, that's which which is
ten billion dollars. That's ten billion dollars being spent on
the American defense industrial base. We need to ramp up
our defense industrial billities in our production, and this is
this money is going to help pay to build build
out the industrial base. It's going to replenish our missile stocks,
(09:19):
our our our towery stocks by our drone industry.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
So Americans are not just going to benefit.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
We're gonna benefit because it's going to help defend Ukraine,
which is in our interest, right, It's going to benefit
and that we're gonna get ten billion dollars, which is nice,
and it's gonna help build our defense industrial basis. So
it's a triple win for.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Us really, all right, And then that begs this question
because we had roy O'Neil on earlier and he was
talking about China basically controls seventy percent of the drone market.
We've got to meet. I mean, we don't need a
Manhattan project to do it, but this would be handy
money to do it. All right, Let's let's spend our
final time with the question I was going to ask you.
(10:05):
You know, uh, I'm an apologetic apologist for John F. Kennedy.
I really think that was a defining, game changing, shifting
never the same trajectory for America. His death in daily Plaza,
this is a guy that was going to roll back
the New Deal. Let alone, his death led to the
Great Society and one of the great failures in political history.
(10:30):
So we're a different country because John F. Kennedy is killed.
We're a different country because Donald Trump turns his head
and a split second at the right time. How different
is the world? Where would we have been? First of all,
I don't think Biden would have left the race. He
wouldn't have had to, and he hadn't yet, So I
presume a second term with an auto pen in Kamala Harris.
How different does the world and foreign policy look?
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Let alone the border, Well, you know, everything, everything that Americans.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Liked in the world today would not have happened.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
There's if you if you wanted lower inflation, if you
wanted to real economic growth, if you wanted a secure border,
if you wanted you know, people trying to come into.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
The border to be going near near zero.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
If you wanted Iran put back in a very very
small box in an unprecedented six amount of time, Israel
to survive. If you wanted, you know, China to be
put on notice, and if you wanted to significantly reduce
the potential for a widening war in Western Europe, none
(11:32):
of that would have happened.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
I absolutely guarantee.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
That nothing would have Remember Harris said in an interview,
they said, what would you do different than Joe Biden?
Speaker 5 (11:42):
She said nothing.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Nothing.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
So nothing would have changed in the world, except everything
would have gotten worse for America. It's not a political comment,
it's not a Republican develop it's just it's just it's
just subjective reality.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
I'll add one nuance that I think is significant, and
that is going back to my earlier point. I think
Putin was different the first time, probably because he you know,
what's four years, you know, and this guy's going to
be gone. He's a flash in the pan. Well then
he's gone, and he gets aggressive and offensive, he invades,
(12:16):
but then he comes back. You don't think Putin was shocked.
He won a primary in a courtroom with a muzzle
on his mouth, and then went on to win the
election and survive and assassination. I mean, all these things,
and he knows it's a movement now, so that even
when Donald Trump is gone, the torch gets passed, probably
to JD. Vance, maybe to Marco Rubio, but that the
(12:37):
Republican Party itself has now become an American party. It's
probably the Reagan Revolution meets the Tea Party meets Maga.
He knows he's got to deal with this in the
long term. And I think that has impacted America as
impacted the world.
Speaker 6 (12:51):
That is the most important thing is that has changed
because Donald Trump lived, is there are over fifty percent
of Americans who are now willing to believe in America again,
who aren't afraid to be patriotic, who aren't afraid to
challenge things in their face which are obviously stupid.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Who are who are to.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
Say that just changing what America is and is something
that's not America anymore, it's not okay. That would not
have happened because people would have been afraid to stand.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Up and say that without without Donald Trump. And maybe
that's the most important thing of all.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
And I think the funding Fathers in their declaration and
then through living it became the world's biggest nightmare by example,
and then we became our own nightmare through war with ourselves.
And I think the world is sensing America's back to
living its intent and thus being a great shining example
to the world, and thus enemies of the world like Russia, China, Ron,
(13:55):
We're back to being their worst nightmare.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
I think that's pretty significant. Can I give you a
really stupid example of this.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Sure, I love stupid examples. I'm stupid.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Look watch the debate over the Movers movie Superman that
just came up. There are people on the right that said,
this is whoa, this is terrible, blah blah blah. But
there are also people saying, hey, Superman actually acts like
a man. Superman actually like, where's a suit that goes red.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
White, and blue?
Speaker 6 (14:27):
So we're actually and you you could argue because people
just want to make a movie that makes money, right,
and so in that movie you could say, well, there's
woke threads in here, But you could also say, you
know what, there's there's some very positive, masculine, very patriotic.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Did you did you see the movies?
Speaker 5 (14:45):
I did.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Okay, I went just to be because I hate these
kinds of movies, but I went to be with my
son and my wife. Yeah, but no, I loved it.
I thought it was great. I thought it was Jaws meet. Yeah,
and then I didn't see any of these overtimes. I
think the most was the director's comments that he made.
But that speech to you know that that you'd have
(15:07):
to be really hotterly sensitive for that. But yeah, how
different the world is because Donald Trump has lived, he's
still acting, he's still leading, he's still the adult in
the room, and he's still winning. Lieutenant Colonel James Carafond,
you can read his great different country.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
What's that is that? Because we are becoming a different country?
Were but the coming country that people thought? He said
the words, you know, the American dream. But this actually
could be a country where you can live the American dream.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
That is the biggest change.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Yeah, and just in time for the two hundred and
fiftieth birthday, beyond my wildest dreams. All right, Lieutenant Colonel
James Carafano. As always, I hope you satisfied, Big John
and the others. We'll have you back next weekend or
sooner if conditions weren't.

ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk six to fifty
KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love to have you listen live,
but are grateful you're here now for the podcast.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Enjoy. Thanks for bringing us along with you on the drive.
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Journal, honored
to serve you. Jeffrey serving us all up with sound
Red keeping an eye on the content. We got roughly
fifty million people across the Northeast dealing with flood watches today.
As the rain continues to pound, President Trump continues to
pound and frustration against Russia to reach a peace deal
(16:54):
with Ukraine. We're gonna have more on that with John
Decker coming up. And the Major League Baseball All Star
Game is tonight in a Atlanta. The Senate is debating spending.
It could trigger oh that word again, the looming government
to shut down. Rory O'Neill is here with the latest.
Done that. Good morning, Rory. Yeah, good morning, Michael.
Speaker 9 (17:11):
So we've got a big vote happening later this week
on these recisions or clawbacks from federal spending that were
already approved by Congress. But the Trump administration wants to
stop the outflow of the cash. They want to stop
the money that goes for a lot of international aid
programs like USAID, for the anti AIDS programs that in
(17:33):
Africa that started under former President George W.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Bush.
Speaker 9 (17:37):
And they also want to pull back more than a
billion dollars that had been already authorized for the Corporation
for Public Broadcasting NPR and PBS. So that's on the line.
Some senators are on the fence about it, Republican senators.
So let's see how especially as it relates that they
like the support for the anti AIDS program in Africa.
So let's see if they if to perhaps make final
(17:59):
change is before a bout this week.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
A lot of these are what DOGE recommendations, right right,
and this is sort of a trial balloon.
Speaker 9 (18:07):
If they can get this nine and a half billion
dollars got, then they'll go through with some other recommendations
from DOGE.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
But same, you know, we were joking earlier this is
becoming like an ongoing soap opera like the Sands through
the Hourglass. These are the days of the Trump Lives
because it's the same game over and over again. So
the question is it's going to take Republicans to stop this,
(18:33):
And there's always this drama that you know, a couple
of them don't like it, but in the end they
all come in line. So does this episode play the
way the previous episodes played?
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Well?
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Right, but look, the.
Speaker 9 (18:44):
Last time around, Lisa Murkowski got a lot done for Alaska.
Let's see, if you know, in order to get her
on board with the big beautiful bill. You know, let's
see if this can be massaged to help us Maine
or Alaska.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Again, how important is it that the Senate get the
play the playbook right before it goes to the house
where it's a little tighter.
Speaker 9 (19:04):
Well, it's already passed the house, so this is right.
So when it passed the house, it started a forty
five day clock and I think the eighteenth is day
forty five, So that's how those send it up.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
But if you make a change, it goes back too though, right.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
Yeah, but that should be pretty rubber stampy, which leads
us back to the beginning.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
All right, Rory. By the way, we just had to
talk with Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano, and part of the
triple win is this NATO deal, which he was very
clear it's really you know, Germany and one other country,
but it's going to produce ten billion dollars, ten billion
dollars that they plan to use a lot of to
And he even mentioned by name the investment in drones
(19:47):
and competing in drone productions. So one of your stories
got a little follow up from another one of our
contributors and experts. Good work, and as always, Rory, we'll
be back again tomorrow morning with more great reporting. And
we're going to visit with John in just a few
minutes about Vladimir Putin and his deadline and how he
may respond and why the President is off to Pittsburgh.
That's all straight ahead. Well, obviously, the biggest story of
(20:10):
the day, the President comes up with the fifty day
ultimatum to Russia, and that ultimatum is you end this war,
and you end this war in fifty days or else.
In addition to the sanctions, in addition to providing weapons
for Ukraine in a way that is actually funded by
other countries, not just the US. We're also going to
(20:31):
do a one percent tariff on anybody you do business with.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
The President spoke to reporters at the White House.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
We're going to be doing very severe tariffs if we
don't have a deal in fifty days.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
While meeting with the NATO Secretary General Mark Ruta, Trump
also announced a new deal to sol top of the
line weaponry to NATO, including defensive patriot missiles meant for
distribution in Ukraine. Trump had been blaming both sides for
the continued war in Ukraine, but lately it has been
putting most of it on President Putin, adding he thought
he had a deal in about four times.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
I'm mark meeview.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Another defeat for activist judges and another big victory for
Donald Trump. The Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration
to resume its layoffs at the Department of Education.
Speaker 10 (21:11):
US Secretary of Education Linda McMahon is pleased at Monday's ruling.
Speaker 7 (21:16):
This is a real it's a real victory I think
for the future of American education.
Speaker 10 (21:21):
McMahon said not being able to fire Department personnel was
a roadblock to the White House goal of returning education
back to the States and out of the hands of
the federal government. The court ruled six to three to
lift the judge's order that reinstated employees let go in
mass layoffs. I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Well, Andrew Cuomo isn't going anywhere. He's staying in the race,
but as an independent for mayor in New York. Natalie
macgliori has more.
Speaker 11 (21:48):
Sources tell News Nation that New York's former governor is
set to make the announcement he's running as an independent
sometime this week. But it comes as no shock to
New Yorkers.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Classic Cuomo because he's selfish.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
It's a narcissist.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Clomo's campaign says.
Speaker 11 (22:03):
The sixty seven year old blends to ask Gold candidates
except Zoran mam Donnie, the Democrat nominee, to back out
of the race if they are not in the lead
by the middle of September.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
But he doesn't have the right to say that they
might have a good connection if they get together to
beat Mandanni, but the chances off.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
I don't really think to see that happening. I'm Natalie Migliori.
NBC News Radio are using the rank file system. That's
how they got Zoran Mandani through the toughest part, which
was the primary. Had you had a runoff, well the
current mayor or Clomo would have been gone and then
things probably would have evened out. So now what's the game. Well,
(22:42):
one of the games is first just strut him around
like a darling of socialism. Well that kind of had
a rough run yesterday because the minute he started doing
a few questions and they started asking questions about him
being a socialist and other thingsquickly his handlers jumped in,
I think we're done here. We got to go. We're sorry,
(23:04):
that's going to do it. Obviously their planned to hide
him in plain sight like they did Joe Biden blew
up in their face. And don't forget that was a
low turnout to some degree. So turnout could even the
playing field. But there are many the belief somebody's gotta
go the current mayor or Cuomo to keep this nightmare
from happening. Well, the price of Mexican tomatoes could be
(23:26):
going up soon. Tammy Treheo has more.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Trump administration announced in April that it was withdrawing from
an agreement that set minimum prices for Mexican tomatoes imported
into the US. The Commerce Department also announced a new
anti dumping tariff to prevent Mexican importers from flooding the
market with cheaper tomatoes. There'd been a push for the
administration to delay the tariffs for another ninety days, but
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik said the decision is in line
(23:50):
with President Trump's trade policies and approach with Mexico.
Speaker 12 (23:53):
I'm Tammy Tricheo.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Paul McCartney's Got Back Tour is returning to North America
this fall. Maybe I'm Amazed to do you love Me
all the Time? Maybe I'm Afreie the way I Love you.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
The twenty twenty five runo Got Back consists of nineteen dates,
starting on September the twenty ninth in Palm Swings, California,
and wrapping up in Chicago, Illinois, November twenty fourth and
twenty fifth.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
General tickets go on sale this Friday.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
McCartney launched the Got Back Tour in twenty twenty two,
with sixteen shows across the US.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
I'm Mark Matfield.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Elon Musk, of course, is obsessed with getting to Mars.
We talked to our futurist Kevin Sarelli, who said this
is not a crazy dream and it's likely to happen
within fifteen years. Turns out a big chunk of Mars
has already come to Earth and it's up for auction.
Speaker 10 (24:49):
Southerbast in New York says the opening bid for the
fifty four pound space rock is one point six million dollars.
It was found in the Sahara Desert in twenty twenty
three and is more more than twice the size of
any other known Mars rock found on Earth. Sotherby says
the meteorite has a reddish brown fusion crust, which gives
(25:09):
the item an unmistakable Martian Hugh.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
I've never been a fan of gummies, and certainly not
ones that look like worms, but today is National Gummy
Worm Day.
Speaker 12 (25:18):
The German candy company Harrowbo takes credit for inventing the
gummy in the twenties, but they became a North American
suite in nineteen eighty one. Gummy bears came first, followed
by the worms. They taste the same with three flavors,
but it's the shape people reach for. The gummy worm
was intended to be fun and slightly icky. Eat up
once they're open. They have a seven day shelf life,
(25:40):
sharing optional. I'm pre tennis.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
I've been accused of favoring my Arizona listeners, but this
really is one of my favorite stories of the day.
Police and Tempe Arizona say they're committed to serving the community,
even when that means completing a pizza delivery. Two officers
finished off a delivery earlier this month after arresting the
rub hub driver responsible for the order. Video posted on
(26:03):
social media shows a surprise customer receiving the pizza after
being told the driver was taken into custody. The post
said the order was hot and ready, the suspect was
caught and steady. Unclear what the delivery driver was arrested for,
or if she tipped the police officers, or if a
(26:25):
bunch of people got really scared with the munchies and
flushed all their marijuana when the police delivered their pizza down.
Just no way of knowing what all's buried in that story.
Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Riley had eighteen home runs in
the final round to beat Tampa Bay's Junior Caminero and
win the home run derby in Atlanta last night. That's
the first catcher to ever win the home run derby.
(26:48):
I predicted to my son Nicholas, he would win the
home run derby before I went to bed. He will
also start behind him play for the American League in
the All Star Game tonight. That the American League has
literally dominated twenty four of the last twenty seven games
since nineteen ninety seven. It's Your Morning Show with Michael
(27:11):
del Chorno. I'm trying to think. I would have never
thought I'd dream about being in prison, and I did.
Started out being a bad apartment complex in New Orleans,
but it turned into a prison, and then I never
would have dreamt Carlton, your Dorman, would have come up
on today's show, but he did also a great interview
with James Carafano. If you missed any of today's show,
(27:31):
the podcast will be up in about an hour. You
didn't miss a thing. Catch up and listen today if
you're just getting up and rolling. This morning, we got
a roughly fifty million people across the Northeast dealing with
flood watches. The rain continues to pummel the East, the
President putting the pressure on Russia, former President Biden saying
(27:51):
he's made every decision defending his use of the auto pen.
I'm not sure that's a defense. That's might be the
only thing more frightening, what if he really was president
in that condition? And then finally, why the President's heading
to Pittsburgh and the ultimatum to Vladimir Putin, which we've
talked a lot about today, but let's do it now
(28:12):
with White House correspondent John Decker. Good morning, John, I
am there here, Michael A good let's start. What's the
President doing in Pittsburgh today? I am curious.
Speaker 7 (28:27):
Yeah, it's a trip that was just added.
Speaker 13 (28:30):
To the schedule. He's was invited by Pennsylvania's new senator,
Senator McCormick, who's got a good relationship with the President's
focused solely on economic issues, and I'm sure we're going
to hear from the President what he viewsed as the
benefits of the new, big, beautiful bill sign that took
(28:50):
place last week and how it will benefit Pennsylvanians in particular.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
I did like the President yesterday, and this was at
the faith. I love that he brought up what would
have happened had we not done it, and then he
did his best imperson impersonation of our Friday with forty
seven impersonation. He started cracking me up talking about you
guys would go broke, you'd lose your beautiful wives.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
You know.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
It was hilarious. But there's not a lot of talk
about what if we hadn't done anything. I think that's
a great angle for the President to explain bipartisan lee
what this bill does and what the alternative was, which
would be what the largest tax increase potentially at the
worst possible time, and other things. So it'll be interesting
to see if he takes that same tack today in Pittsburgh.
(29:35):
All Right, the ultimatum v Vladimir Putin. A lot of
genius things going on here. One. Putin's decided he wants
to keep fighting in a war he knows he can't win,
and he wants to take another year. You know, I
guess to cost some more of his own troops lives
in Northern Korean troop lives. This is a way of
the President trying. I gave you a good chance to
get out and save face. Now here's an ultimatum. No
(29:56):
more saving face, but get out in fifty days or
we're going to really tighten the screws.
Speaker 7 (30:01):
Well, that's right.
Speaker 13 (30:02):
So two big announcements from the President yesterday in the
Oval Office with the NATO Secretary General Mark Ruda.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
By his side.
Speaker 7 (30:09):
One announcement what you just alluded to, the announcement that
if Russia does not come to a peace.
Speaker 13 (30:15):
Deal within fifty days, the US would impose differ trade
tariffs not only on Russia, but on any country that
does business with Russia one hundred percent trade tariffs. The
other announcement, the US will permit NATO countries to purchase
from the US ammunition as well as military equipment, including
(30:37):
those Patriot missile batteries, and those NATO countries in turn
will provide that to Ukraine. That will happen literally within
a matter of days. And that's a game changer, Michael,
because it really does make the war for Russia unwinnable.
And you know, I think that's the message that the
President wants to deliver to President Putin.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
It's an unwinnable war, come to the negotiating table, declare victory,
and go home.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
But it's a great win in it in bringing peace
about and getting them to go ahead and take this
off for him, but it's also a win for his
base that doesn't want to see blank checks going. Well,
now you've got a mineral rights deal coming from Ukraine
to pay back a lot of our investment. Now you
got a way of producing these arms and then selling
them to NATO. And I know it's primarily Germany and
(31:22):
a couple of other countries paying for it, but this
is NATO. It actually builds our economy, helps secure Ukraine,
and really tightens the screws on Vladimir Putin. I loved
red'sline earlier when he said they'd like to play good
Bolshevik and bad Bolshevik. So you have Medvedev coming out
and saying, well, it's a ridiculous ultimatum to give to
(31:43):
Russia and not necessarily a peep out of Vladimir Putin.
So what now, John, We wait to see what the
reaction will be from Putin.
Speaker 13 (31:52):
We wait and see, We wait and see if those
drone strikes continue on a.
Speaker 7 (31:57):
Daily basis from Russia.
Speaker 13 (32:00):
And the fact that these patriot missile batteries will now
be conveyed to Ukraine, they can defend themselves because those
patriot missile.
Speaker 7 (32:08):
Batteries are really the best equipment in.
Speaker 13 (32:10):
The world as far as a defense system to ward
off these daily attacks coming from the Russian military.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
John Decker, great reporting, as always. We'll talk again tomorrow,
all right. In conclusion, I just kind of wanted to
end where we started, which is there's a bit of
a full circle to the today's show, because there's a
bit of a circular, repetitive motion in the news stories
and whether it's the border, whether it's wars, rumors of
(32:39):
wars and ending wars. I mean, here's another great example,
and I get it. You know, you haven't you put
an administration together, And I don't A lot of people
think Pam Bondi's days are numbered. I don't think so.
I don't know why they haven't done a better job
of explaining some of this Epstein stuff. But all right,
so you have a cup of the elon. This thing
(33:00):
kind of blows up a little bit. It's a minor distraction.
The Epstein thing could be handled better, or it's a distraction.
And we still don't know what the status of Dan
Bongino is. But on the things that matter most, securing
the border done, secured standing by Israel, and ending this
battle with Hamas done, and now a major checkmate move
(33:24):
to Russia on the war with Ukraine. The president, we
had what one point five million middle class jobs created
for Americans they had Today we got the news that
the economic confidence hit a four year high. I mean,
this president continues to win and those who continue to
doubt him and rebel against him continue to lose. That
(33:48):
is an obvious ongoing pattern. We're all in this together.
