Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey gang, it's me Michael. You can listen to your

routine or your drive to work companion on great stations
like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and fifteen ten
WLAC in Nashville, Tuopolos News and Talk one oh one
point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk
six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love to have you
(00:21):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the
podcast Enjoy.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Well two three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Miss is your morning show with Michael del Jornville on
the air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app six
minutes after the hour. Welcome to Thursday, July the eighteenth.
This is your morning show. I am Michael del john
We have breaking news at this hour. They have tried
showing them polling. They have tried calling him stepping down. Now,
(00:57):
Hakeim Jeffreys, Chucky Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and the DNC singers
are trying song.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
You gotta go.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Our White House correspondent.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
I always like to wait for the high note. Though
that's only that makes me laugh out long.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Here comes, Here comes John Decker is our White House
correspondent joining us from Milwaukee, which I bet the week
is catching up with you like it is me.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
I'm getting less and less sleep. It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
At what point, as a news person do you see
the fall of Joe Biden kind of overshadowing at least
day three anyway of the rise of the Trump vance ticket,
Because it feels like it a little.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Bit good morning.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
You know, we're.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
You know, we're seeing momentum and strengths behind the Republicans
and nothing but layoffs and uh terminations from the from
the Biden team and the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Let me cut, Let me cut to the chase this way.
Let me cut the chase this way, John, Let's say
Biden doesn't go. I mean, I want to have a
little bit of sympathy for the Democrats. How on earth
do you even stage a convention in four weeks, I mean,
with Joe Biden, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
How they can. You know, they're obviously trying to rush
things and push stuff together on you know, on trying
to put a vote on an online vote before the convention,
and trying to push this thing along. I mean, there
there's no way to be able.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
To really kind of figure out what they're how they're
going to get go forward with the Nomadia have because
everyone on the leadership for the congressional side understands that
Biden hasn't wait on the second.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
By the way, time out, This is Chris Walker. I
know my friend's voice. I just realized you called Chris Walker,
not Decker. Has Decker called in?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Was just always a.
Speaker 7 (02:47):
Matter of fact. I did think that this was Decker.
I apologize Chris. Yeah, I was just sitting here trying
to call Chris. It's not nice to fool with mother
nature and do that to your host.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
So well, I didn't want to. I didn't want to
correct you. Michael. I figured you know you had her
coffee this morning or something.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Well, yeah, no, I didn't know. But we have a
small window with Decker. Do we still want to do
Decker or not? Or I'll just go Chris. Well, Decker
has not called in, so all right.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Well then we'll just go Chris Chris.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
All right, So I'm gonna shoot straight with you, Chris.
Number one, I don't feel like Night three from a
television set lived up to Night one and two.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
And that's okay.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Last night felt a little bit like a normal convention
night to me, things that were strategized that kind of
worked and didn't work, a little bit of loss of
tone and a little bit of loss of focus, playing
more to the raw raw into the crowd instead of
what I think is a wiser thing. You got the nomination,
you got, you know, the Republican Party vote, talk to America.
(03:47):
They did that flawlessly night one and night two. It
was right after an assassination attempt that was forged and
played to perfection. Last night it felt like two revisited
the Donald Trump sitting which worked in Night one and two.
The Little Godfather he last night, and then JD. Vance
in his speech struck me as a great guy, which
I knew going in, but it didn't strike me like
(04:09):
Marco Rubio.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
I want that guy to be my kid's president.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
So I don't know. I kind of felt like last
night was nowhere near the level of Night one and two.
And maybe that's by design, and maybe that'll be good.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
It'll help Donald Trump shine tonight.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
But what was it like being there?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
What's the reaction from the delegates?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Did they feel like Day three was as good as
one and two.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
You know, Michael, I really wish I could disagree, but
I can't. I mean, I felt like a lot of
people I talked to you after the event felt the
same way. I think they felt like there was a
little bit of a of a lull from the first
two nights. I mean, the biggest, the biggest wow moment
of the night was the ninety eight year old veteran
more than it was kind of the political speeches, you know,
(04:48):
from the from the from the go. You know, I
do think that there's a lot of momentum coming into
tonight for Trump.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
But yes, I think that was interesting.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
You know, roomin us go ahead. I was just gonna
say Tuesday night was the greatest convention night, and I
would say that I've seen in my life, but I
have access to videos and documentaries. I've experienced conventions even
from before I was born. That was an American magical
night that'll never be probably duplicated, all right, so it's
(05:18):
not fair to compare. Last night was typical. A lot
of the things that were planned didn't work, which is
typical for a convention. But what concerned me most was
the loss of the tone. They were taking the high road.
They were doing a message of hope, sticking to the message.
It's okay tonight, lock Donald Trump, but vote for him
for our sake and for our children's future. Last night
(05:40):
got a lot more kind of negative and a lot
more raw raw, And then I saw the focus shift
from the American people to Republican delegates on the floor.
That better changed tonight or guess what the stake isn't
going to sizzle?
Speaker 6 (05:54):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
It seemed to me to be you know, you know,
a how delegation it was was having fun. But at
the same time, here Shade Events trying to give a
speech and you know they're kind of doing in an Ohio
state chant, which is fine. But you know, I think
that that that's.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
All about time. It got real old.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Yeah, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Yeah, And you know as well said, you know, it's
interesting though, Michael. I mean I was in the place
where I could like read the teleprompter while he was speaking,
so I was actually reading him give his speech, and
I would kind of, you know, kind of see how
he would change it.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
He said, he made some really.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Good you know, he's very natural in terms of adding
his own piece of himself into his speech.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
I mean, there's a lot of ad living.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
There was a lot of you know, kind of homes
fun additions to to what he was saying, and and
the naturalness that.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
With which he had to give such a big speech for.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
His life was very impressive, just on the sense of like, hey,
this this is a guy who's sharp.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
He knows what he's.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Doing, he knows how to he knows how to emode.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
And communicate in a really solid way.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
And I thought those were all positive. But yeah, I
think overall, I think your points are and I thought
Don Junior's speech he really kind of hit its tone
of attack and you know, he has some righteous anger
there and that's fine. But I do think it was
it was kind of a different It was a notable
shift in tone, and I think the right.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
It was awful.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
The daughter worked, although that's going to the say, look,
Laura is the co chair of the R and C
and the daughter in law of the president, and she
made the case of how he is as a man.
It's interesting there's a lot of references to Donald Trump
as a father and a grandfather. People forget to mention
him as a husband I hope that's not intentional and
(07:37):
there is more going on to that narrative.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
But you got that from the daughter in law.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
But okay, so if you're going to do the daughter
at that point, you should come back after she's done
speaking and just introduce. After all, I feel this way.
You may not agree. I think it's Junior that godd
us Jade Vance. I think Donald Trump wanted Marco Rubio.
He maybe didn't want to have a court case to
get him, but I have no question he wanted Marco Rubio,
(08:03):
and so maybe, you know, Junior should have just introduced
him and made his case for him as he was
introducing him, rather than bring the daughter out, than do
a long speech than a video. And then it just,
you know, a lot of the things that forged perfection
kind of ran out last night. They better find their tone,
they better find their focus, and then the mainstay cast
a sizzle and deliver this closing remark. You know that
(08:25):
party's falling apart. Somebody better connect the dot that Joe
Biden being old and low in the polls and cognitively
impaired isn't what cause that border crisis or two wars,
or inflation or high interest rates or higher debt. It's
their worldview and policy view. And last night the focus
was all on Joe Biden and kind of mocking and
making fun of him. I just think, look, it should
(08:49):
lend credibility to my praise for Monday and Tuesday. But
I thought last night was really typical, if not weak.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Yeah, I don't just degree. I also, you know, it'll
be interesting to see tonight. Obviously Saturday changed the entire
calculation of what he's going to say tonight and what
he wants to do, And you know, I think that
will be a very It's going to be a very
epic night. I mean, this is this is a building
that wants to hear from Trump, that has a relationship
(09:18):
with Trump that you know, it transcends, you know, normal
political relationships, and so this is going to be a
very It's going to be a very rauckeous, proud all
kind of cheering for him and wanting to hear from
him directly. And this is going to be a very
very big speech effort. He was you know, attempted to
be assassinated. I mean, it's just not serve coated and
(09:39):
is going to be a strong, strong moment tonight, and
I'm not sure anything can kind of get.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Around that r and see consultant analyst Chris Walker joining
us from Milwaukee in the convention. I asked John Decker earlier,
but I'll ask you now formally, how on earth were
the Democrats under Joe Biden. That's why I just say
it has to be he's got to exit now. First
of all the parameters he set have been met. So
(10:04):
now Pelosi Schumer have come to him and said leave.
He said, but they won't, Well, they just did. If
the polls show I can't win, but they won't. They
do show that he is clinging to can you prove
to me Kamala can win? And they're not going to
be able to. So if Joe pulls a Dave or
unlike the movie Dave and refuses to leave, there's nothing
they can do. And it puts them in a tough
(10:25):
place with democracy because it unless they use the twenty
fifth Amendment, they're going to spit in the face of
all the voters for the course of the year. But
I mean, let's let's presume Joe stays. Let's have a
little sympathy for the other side of the aisle. How
on Earth. Do they stage a week long convention and
a raw raw to get everybody united behind Joe Biden
(10:45):
when they're divided about Joe Biden. I mean, he's got
to go or they can't do a convention.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
I mean, it couldn't couldn't happen to a better group
of people.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Now we need the elephant sound effect.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
See now you're getting Donald try your honest no.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I mean, but that's what makes the tiebreaker for me
that I just don't And by the way, my discernment
screamed me as he was stumbling up their force one stairs.
He wasn't going back to Delaware because of COVID. That
was the end of Joe Biden's political life. I think
it's over, but it has to be ultimately, doesn't it.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
He can't do the job now. It is clear.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
It is evident everyone's watching and looking at him as
if he is already, you know, not capable of completing
what he was elected.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
To do three and a half years ago.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
He can't make an honest paste to be back in
the Whitehouse for those four years. It's just it is
the single most absurd situation I've ever seen, where there's
this insistence of running again when everyone knows that he
can't do the job.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
He's in that all all.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Right, So Democrat voters, Democrat voters don't want him, they
don't think he can win.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
The mainstream media doesn't want them.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
I mean, we have one Sound of the day and
it's Van Jones, and I never thought I'd highlight him
in CNN, but boy did he nail it with this quote.
A bullet couldn't stop Trump. A virus just stopped by Yeah. So,
but are they going to get behind Kamala Harris or
is this nineteen sixty eight in the rioting in Chicago
is going to be over who the nominee actually is.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Well, I think Republicans and both on my side, you know,
I'm from the center right side, particularly those who like
fall politics regularly, are a little overconfident on you know,
Kamala being a loser candidate.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Yes, she was the firstone not in the primary.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Yes she's you know, incredibly weak on policy and speeches
and everything else. But let's not forget what the media
will do to kind of paint her as a you know,
the second coming of Barack Obama, you know, running against
you know, the person they truly loath, which is Donald Trump.
Despite the you know, the assassination attempt. You know they're
(12:58):
going to paint in such a way that she will
be I think she will be for minamble, just in
the sense of the media is going to everything you
can trying to make her formidable.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
There's the other side of it too, which is right now,
the media is completely focused on showing Joe the door.
The minute Joe goes to the door, then they'll spend
it all their time attacking Donald Trump. Again, they haven't
changed at all. You want Donald Trump to you want
Joe Biden to stay in the race against Donald Trump,
and you want to stay in as long as possible,
and you certainly want to see their disastrous convention happen
if you're a Republican. I don't think that's going to happen.
(13:29):
I think he's going to be gone by I would
think he'll be gone by Monday, if not sooner. And
that gives them a month to sort this out and
then create and put on a show, and they'll have
the media just like they did in the shadow campaign.
They won't have to technocracy, but they will get rid
of one of their weakest links, which is you can't
hide Joe in a basement and he's out there and
(13:50):
nobody's buying it. So you get rid of that, and
then you've got the media and the tank for you,
technocracy and social media. Not so much with Twitter, but
you can make a close run of it. You can
certainly firm up places like Virginia and make a run
in Michigan, in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, which is necessary to
get to two seventy and avoid a landslide. So careful
(14:10):
what you ask for. It's about to be real, all right,
I'm glad I'm not alone. I didn't know if it
was the Secret Service stories, which is a story of
a decade, the running off of Joe Biden, which is
like an LBJ story of the decade, kind of overshadowing
the RNC convention, or.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Did Night three not live up tonight two?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
In the tone and focus kind of shifted poorly and
it needs to be corrected tonight for Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Nice to see that I'm not going crazy. You're not,
You're not.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
I'm in agreement.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Do you want to see anything? Do you want to
say anything? On behalf of John Decker? Before we go?
Speaker 6 (14:44):
This is John Decker this.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Is my friend. All right, Well, we'll recap. The President
will speak tonight, and we will understand together tomorrow. Enjoy yourself,
get some sleep. I know I haven't and I'm not
even there. All right, God blessed. All right, if you're
just waking up. The big stories are the obvious ones.
Jd Vance accepted his nomination for vice president, and tonight
Donald Trump will do the same. The Secret Service details
(15:10):
get worse and worse by the moment, and there was
an ugly confrontation with two senators on the R and
C convention floor, and they chased the director of the
Secret Service all the way to hide in a room
with other agents. And Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have
made it official and leaked at their CNN for all
to hear. They want Donald Trump to step aside, and
(15:31):
Donald Trump Donald Trump. They want Joe Biden to step aside,
and he just just that, getting on a plane with
COVID nineteen last night.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Joe Biden himself laid out the groundwork for his exit.
He said, if Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer come to
me and tell me to leave I'll.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Listen, but they won't. They just did.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
He said. If the poll suggests I can't win, I'll
be open to it. They vote, but they do now
if the voters don't want me, but they do know
they don't. The latest ape pole shows two thirds of
Democrats do not think he can win and want him
to leave. If I get sick, he tells b e T,
then I would consider leaving. He just left the campaign
(16:18):
trail with COVID. The only other criteria he gave is
if the Lord came to me and told me not
to run, and the scripture comes to mind.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
And he stands at the door and knocks.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
If you invite him and he will come.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
I don't know if that's the Lord or Nancy and
Chuck and Hakim Jeffreys, but they're knocking.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
And the Democrats need him to step aside because they
preach democracy and threats to democracy. And if the voters
gave him the delegates and they just simply take them away,
that's not very democratic. So they need him to step aside.
Will he We wait and see. As for the Republicans,
I don't know if it's the Secret Service details the
fall of Biden. If there was distraction or just a
(17:06):
poor performance last night. But last night was nothing like
Monday or Tuesday was a very typical rah rah rah.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
What concerns me is the tone.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard on
great radio stations across the country, like News Talk ninety
two point one and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee,
or thirteen hundred The Patriot in Tulsa, our Talk six
to fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. We invite you to
listen live while you're getting ready in the morning and
to take us along for the drive to work. But
as we always say, better late than never. Thanks for
(17:36):
joining us for the podcast, Catherine Writes, said Michael d
Atiheartmedia dot Com. The Republicans definitely need to switch from
talking about Biden's failures to talking about Democrat policy failures.
Well that's my take. I thought the tone got changed
a little bit last night and a little bit more negative,
a little less hopeful, and the focus got more aggressively
on Biden and on delegates in Raw. Raw needs to
(17:58):
go back to you got republic can talk to the
American people and have a message of hope. We also
got these two quick talkbacks to get in. The first
one is Jeffrey. I believe listening to WRC in Memphis, Tennessee,
Michael is jeff this COVID stuff. That's exactly what the
Democrats going to use, and we remove him from the
(18:20):
ticket to say he's got COVID and he's gone. Well,
if they go all the way to the twenty fifth Amendment,
I don't know that they'll it's going to come to that.
I assume he has COVID. If they say he has COVID,
he said COVID three times. He's going to be fine.
But my thoughts and prayers are with his recovery. He's
just run out of runway, runout of excuses. I think
Joe Biden is getting ready to exit. I had such
(18:41):
a discerning feeling when he walked up those steps that
that was the end of his presidency and candidacy and
not just going home to Delaware to recover from COVID.
I don't think they're it's going to come to that.
Am Force quickly becoming my favorite listener.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
I don't know many everyday voters who watch as much
convention coverage as we do and break it down and
think about it from a media point of view. They
catch what they can between their other responsibilities and schedule
needs and everyday life, and they will know who they're
voting for well in advance of November fifth and why,
(19:19):
and tonight the stake will sizzle.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
From your lips to God's ears. Look, it all comes
down to Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Tonight.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
He's got to close his own deal. And that's the
speech that's going to be the most scrutinized. It'd be
interesting to see if he does more of a kind
of a rally style or a nomination speech style. And
I think he needs to make the point. Look, I
agree with you, except for there are a lot of
people looking for an excuse that it's okay to vote
for Donald Trump. It's okay to not be loyal to
(19:48):
their party and want to have the prosperity. And I
think it's Donald Trump's job to connect the dots. It's
not a Joe Biden problem. It's a worldview problem that
brings in Aaron Reale, because Aaron, what's really driving all this. Look,
if the America people were doing fine like they were
during Bill Clinton, they wouldn't care if he had a
scandal in the Oval office. They wouldn't care if he
was cognitively impaired. The problem is we are paying that
(20:10):
much for gas, we are paying that much for groceries.
Home ownership is becoming out of reach. The American people
hurting is Joe Biden the Democrat's real problem. And you've
got some stats to prove the age old Ronald Reagan question,
are you better off than you were four years ago?
That answer too is clear.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Oh, the answer is clear, and listen.
Speaker 9 (20:29):
Forty three percent of Americans say their personal financial situation
has gotten worse since January twenty twenty one, when Biden
took the presidency. This is not a great thing if
you're trying to get reelected. Like you said, it always
comes down to the economy Whereagan said it, and it
is true, and not surprisingly, opinions are split by parties.
(20:50):
Sixty percent of Republicans say their situation is worse, but overall,
thirty seven percent of US adults say that Trump would
be better for their personal financial situation.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Michael, this does not get you reelected.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
No, no, Well, the approval rating points that we can't
get reelected. This points do we can't get re elected.
I could go through all the battleground states that he's losing.
I mean, this isn't even looking like the twenty sixteen map.
This is looking like a Ronald Reagan map I posed,
and I'll pose it to you. I pose it to
Rory this way, and to Chris Walker if you're the Democrat.
(21:23):
I mean, just have a little sympathy for them. Let's
say Joe and it's Joe Biden's he's got to walk away,
or they got to do the twenty fifth Amendment. But
you know, if you've got to move forward with with
Joe Biden, how do you do a convention four weeks
from now, how do you even go through the motions
of acting unified and raw raw?
Speaker 4 (21:39):
And you know, it's just it's got to be He's
got to go.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
And then then we got to hope that the American
people look at policies, because that's really what drives it.
Joe Biden's cognitive impairment hasn't led to a fentanyl or
border crisis. Their policies have the gas prices are their
energy price policies. These these dots need to be connected
by the American people. The American people know they're hurting,
(22:04):
do they know what would make them stop hurting. That's
probably not in your information, right Listen.
Speaker 9 (22:10):
They know that having more money and being able to
pay their bills would stop them hurting, at least in
the short term, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
And we have a tendency to do this.
Speaker 9 (22:17):
The President gets too much credit good and bad in
terms of the forces that impact American finances. And we
know that it's supply shocks during COVID nineteen, COVID nineteen
rescue package pent up demand and then inflation as a result.
So there's a number of factors. And yes, policies that
were approved under both Trump and Biden exacerbated the situation.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
But none of that really matters.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Actually, you just dropped a bombshell, you see. I mean, look,
I don't want to poopoo on Donald Trump. I want
him to win. I want him to be president personally,
But the truth of the matter is he got duped
by Fauci. I mean, he's the one that shut down
the economy, He's the one that sent us all home.
He's the one that you know, I love that. You know,
the two people you would get in a room that
(23:02):
are the most anti VACS and most pro Trump and
they'll never connect the dots of who gave them the
vas and who's told them to get the vacs, Donald Trump.
So but yeah, they have masterfully avoided that connection. And
so you know, Joe's holding the bag and but it
has It's been a disaster.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
I don't know how they they work their way out
of this. Everything points to they can't win.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Their only hope is the distraction of a change, and
I think it's coming.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
But exactly and listen, it doesn't matter what caused it
or who caused it. What matters and the only thing
that sticks in people's minds is that they feel worse
now financially than they did four years ago.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
And that's how they're going.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
To vote it.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Well yeah, yeah, that and one one dates back to
a mistake Trump made. But Trump's plan moving forward is
vastly different than Joe Biden's continuing to do what's not working.
So that you know, that's what I think the voters
have kind of connected the dots on. But yes to
the age old Ron, what with all the swing state polling,
(24:04):
with all the pressure for Joe to go away with COVID,
with the Secret Service to bacle and nobody being fired
all that aside, the bottom line is Americans don't feel
like they're doing better than they were four years ago.
That usually spells because remember, at the end of the day,
for an incumbent to lose, you got a first fire them,
and then a challenger can win.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
This all points to he's about to be fired.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Yes, it does, It really really does. And listen.
Speaker 9 (24:30):
Another twenty six percent of those surveys said that regardless
of who they'll vote for, they are more likely to
vote for Biden due to his handling of the economy.
That's less than a quarter. I think that if you
look at this another way, people just aren't happy.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
This isn't about like it is about politics.
Speaker 9 (24:47):
But the way the question is posed is that like,
you don't like this, you don't like what's happening, and
you just want to change.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
And that that's seventy five percent want to change.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Yeah, at the end of it, to go go to
am force his comment. You know, the average person doesn't
follow things like we do. But the average person senses
this that Joe Biden is cognitively impaired. That's a problem.
He has an eye problem. Inflation that has stood up,
he has an e problem. The economy that has stood up.
He has a wars two wars problem and an Israel
(25:20):
problem that has stood up. The only thing he had
going for him was when you could hide him in
a basement or abortion. And people won't get to social
issues if they're having economic urgencies. This is as old
as politics itself and the writings on the wall. Now,
the question for the Democrats are is there anybody, especially Kamala,
that you can replace them with that'll change the trajectory?
And I don't necessarily think there is, but at least
(25:42):
it gives him a shot, whereas moving forward.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
With him is a no brainer. How it'll come.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
But there's your final answer, probably the closest to the
general election. What was the percentage of Democrats who feel
like their life is worse off?
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Much less?
Speaker 9 (25:58):
Did you do the percentage of Democrats that like their
life is worth all?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
That is only thirty two percent.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yeah, but that's like saying, you know, Biden still has
seventy percent of the black support. Yeah, but if you
don't have ninety percent, you can't win an election. So
thirty percent of his own party aren't doing well either.
That makes those fringe people very susceptible. To the messaging
of Donald Trump. Tonight, good reporting, Aaron, We'll talk again tomorrow.
Speaker 10 (26:21):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Michael R.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Tough five stories of to day. Well, I think I
can sum it up this way. I want it's like
a clever Fox anchor, But I'll sum it up this way.
Trump's got Vance and Biden's got COVID.
Speaker 11 (26:34):
Road to the White House. Twenty twenty four. Ohio Senator JD.
Vance officially accepted the nomination for Vice President Wednesday night
at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Speaker 10 (26:46):
And I'm overwhelmed with gratitude to say I officially accept
your nomination to be Vice President of the United States
of America.
Speaker 11 (26:56):
The nation's first Millennial Party nominee formally introduced himself to
the voting public, touching on his humble beginnings, his journey
to become an Ohio senator and now VP nominee. Meantime,
President Biden has tested positive for COVID nineteen. The White
House says Biden tested positive following an event in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
In Washington.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
How Speaker Mike Johnson wants the director of the Secret
Service to resign following attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Brian Shook as that story.
Speaker 11 (27:27):
Johnson told Fox News Wednesday that the security lapses at
the Pennsylvania rally were inexcusable. He joins a growing list
of lawmakers calling on the Protective Services leader to step down.
The Speaker is also creating a special task force to
investigate the shooting. When lawmakers returned to Washington on Monday,
(27:48):
I'm Brian Shook, a.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Couple of GOP senators confronted Kimberly Keitl, the head of
Secret Service, screaming at her they want answers up an
escalator into a room and hid, saying this is not
the time or the place to ask or answer questions. Wow,
that's weird, all right. Joe always said, well, if.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Nancy and Chuckie came to me, well then maybe.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
I'd step aside.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
But they won't.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Well they did. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi has reportedly.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
In secret but reported by CNN, told Joe Biden you
can not win and you could ruin Democrats' chances of
winning the House if you continue on with this campaign.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
That followed Hakeem Jeffries and Chucky Schumer, who both did
the same thing earlier in the day. Meanwhile, the virtual
roll call to nominate President Biden for the twenty twenty
four ticket is moving ahead as planned, not being moved
forward as wanted, but as planned. The DNC planned to
nominate Biden with a virtual meeting before the convention in Chicago,
(28:53):
but new reports say the group of Democrats wanting to
delay that virtual call after questions arose about Biden's mental fitness.
The DNC says the role call will happen as planned.
What does that say if Joe doesn't go with everybody
in the polls telling him to go, and if the
DNC is sticking to the pre convention role, there's one
(29:14):
thing left, the twenty fifth Amendment. So Joe goes volitionally
or he gets forced out and his own cabinet would
have to initiate that. These are interesting times, so interesting
in some ways they could overshadow a bit of the RNC,
But it all comes down to Trump's speech tonight.
Speaker 8 (29:34):
This is Rebecca in spring Hill, Tennessee, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
By the way, Donald Trump will formally accept the nomination
for President of the United States for a third time
he's the only person to be nominated three times and
actually serve as a president, and it could lead to
a second term. Then you have the Secret Service details,
and they get worse and worse as they trickle and
trickle by day. And then you got Joe Biden being
pushed out the door and finally leaving the campaign trail
(30:03):
with COVID. We did get this talkback question on the
president and COVID.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
Did, but not get the washer.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
He the father him that old, that old narrative. Yes,
you can get the vaccine and still get COVID. He's
been vaccinated three times and I think this is his
third third bout with COVID. And then Cathy writes, Michael,
just because you were right about the convention tone last
night doesn't mean that you're not crazy. Oh don't I
know that? And doesn't Rory love to aimen comments like that?
(30:38):
You like when people pick on me? Roory O'Neil's here
with our Rory final story. A lot on the line
for the president tonight. What do we know about what
the President's going to address in this speech? We know
it's gonna rewritten, but to what.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Yeah, we don't know.
Speaker 10 (30:53):
Very little has been said as a telegraphing what the
president may focus on tonight. How much does he talk
about what happened on Saturday? How much does he talk
about Joe Biden? And what other.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Messages does he want to send about uniting America. We
know some of his posts on truth social say one thing,
but it's also Donald Trump, and a teleprompter.
Speaker 10 (31:14):
Is a suggestion, not really something he's bound to follow.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Well, you you bring that up. Look, you return to
your comfort, all right, So he's comfortable in that rally
style and not necessarily you know, as long as you
and I think you can go in and out of that,
as long as it ends with a strong I think
content wise. Look, they've been perfect. Last night I think
was a bad night, but they've been perfect all week,
(31:39):
sticking to the message, which is this constant flow of
different people, you know, suggesting it's okay not to like him,
and it's also okay to want to, you know, restore security, resport,
restore prosperity, and vote for him.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
I think that's going to be in there.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
I think he does need to uniquely tell he was
the one that was shot at, so I think he
does need to cover that. But I do think unlike
last night, the tone needs to return to not making
the case that Joe Biden is cognitively impaired and unfit,
but that their policies have failed. And I think the
focus needs to be not so much, certainly not on
the delegates as I think happened last night, and not
(32:17):
so much even to Republicans whose votes he has. He
needs to talk to the American people with a message
of hope and a plan to write the course. And
I were simple to you know, to say tougher to
pull off.
Speaker 10 (32:28):
Well right well, because in many ways, a lot of
the other speeches he's given in the past focus on
things like water pressure, the last election, you know, and
things like that. And to your point of you know,
this has to be a much more disciplined message that
he's giving out tonight, because most Americans don't tune into this.
(32:49):
I know we do where the friend we mean, we mean, you,
me and this audience we tune into this stuff. Most
of the country does not, so and that's who he's
got to be talking to tonight.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
I have said all along there needs to be a
Donald Trump two point oh, and then this could be
a very power me He's gonna be one of the
rare people to get two first terms to get things
done and then hand things off if he can set
the tone right and set the direction correctly. But I've
said we needed Donald two point oh when he nearly died.
That's a life changing experience. People are usually very changed
(33:22):
after that. And so the notion that he ripped up
the other speech and then he could deliver something where
because I think at some point he could look at
American people right in the eye and even address you know, Look,
I'm not for everybody. I understand people don't like me,
but like what I do and trust me. I've done
it before and I will do it again, or that
(33:43):
I have changed and here's how I've changed and here's
how it's different. Or to look at the American people
and I say, I'm not a dictator, i don't love
Vladimir Putin, I'm not an Adolf Hitler, and I will
leave after one term. I mean he should. I think
that's part of the theme this week, and it would
be very effective if he did it.
Speaker 10 (33:58):
If he did it, yeah, because the campaign for twenty
eight starts in on November sixth, exactly because he's getting
he's well, you said, I'm I'm disagreeing with you because
he said, you know, he'll be the president with two
first terms.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
No, he's going to be a lame duck on day one.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Well, yes and no, it depends. If this is a landslide.
He's got a mandate, he'll he'll have three months to
get a lot of changes.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
Made and we'll see what happened.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
You bring up, you bring up. We have twenty seconds.
So this isn't fair. But you know I left the
Jade Vance's speech with that's a great guy. I knew that,
and he appears to be that. I didn't get excited
about him being, you know, the air apparent to trump
Ism and the future of America like I do with
Marco Rubio.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
So he might have that problem.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
You know, when we get to November sixth and we
start talking about four years from now, Jady Vance has
some rising to do to be the heir apparent.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
I can tell you that after last night, a little
age would help him. He still he's still green on
the vine. Well, you look at me at forty is
a moron compared to me today, But you know he's
he's way ahead of me at forty.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
That's pretty sure we're all in miss together. This is
Your Morning Show with Michael del Joiner
Speaker 7 (35:08):
M
Hey gang, it's me Michael. You can listen to your
morning show live, make us a part of your morning
routine or your drive to work companion on great stations
like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and fifteen ten
WLAC in Nashville, Tuopolos News and Talk one oh one
point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk
six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love to have you
(00:21):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the
podcast Enjoy.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Well two three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Miss is your morning show with Michael del Jornville on
the air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app six
minutes after the hour. Welcome to Thursday, July the eighteenth.
This is your morning show. I am Michael del john
We have breaking news at this hour. They have tried
showing them polling. They have tried calling him stepping down. Now,
(00:57):
Hakeim Jeffreys, Chucky Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and the DNC singers
are trying song.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
You gotta go.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Our White House correspondent.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
I always like to wait for the high note. Though
that's only that makes me laugh out long.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Here comes, Here comes John Decker is our White House
correspondent joining us from Milwaukee, which I bet the week
is catching up with you like it is me.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
I'm getting less and less sleep. It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
At what point, as a news person do you see
the fall of Joe Biden kind of overshadowing at least
day three anyway of the rise of the Trump vance ticket,
Because it feels like it a little.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Bit good morning.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
You know, we're.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
You know, we're seeing momentum and strengths behind the Republicans
and nothing but layoffs and uh terminations from the from
the Biden team and the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Let me cut, Let me cut to the chase this way.
Let me cut the chase this way, John, Let's say
Biden doesn't go. I mean, I want to have a
little bit of sympathy for the Democrats. How on earth
do you even stage a convention in four weeks, I mean,
with Joe Biden, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
How they can. You know, they're obviously trying to rush
things and push stuff together on you know, on trying
to put a vote on an online vote before the convention,
and trying to push this thing along. I mean, there
there's no way to be able.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
To really kind of figure out what they're how they're
going to get go forward with the Nomadia have because
everyone on the leadership for the congressional side understands that
Biden hasn't wait on the second.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
By the way, time out, This is Chris Walker. I
know my friend's voice. I just realized you called Chris Walker,
not Decker. Has Decker called in?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Was just always a.
Speaker 7 (02:47):
Matter of fact. I did think that this was Decker.
I apologize Chris. Yeah, I was just sitting here trying
to call Chris. It's not nice to fool with mother
nature and do that to your host.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
So well, I didn't want to. I didn't want to
correct you. Michael. I figured you know you had her
coffee this morning or something.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Well, yeah, no, I didn't know. But we have a
small window with Decker. Do we still want to do
Decker or not? Or I'll just go Chris. Well, Decker
has not called in, so all right.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Well then we'll just go Chris Chris.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
All right, So I'm gonna shoot straight with you, Chris.
Number one, I don't feel like Night three from a
television set lived up to Night one and two.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
And that's okay.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Last night felt a little bit like a normal convention
night to me, things that were strategized that kind of
worked and didn't work, a little bit of loss of
tone and a little bit of loss of focus, playing
more to the raw raw into the crowd instead of
what I think is a wiser thing. You got the nomination,
you got, you know, the Republican Party vote, talk to America.
(03:47):
They did that flawlessly night one and night two. It
was right after an assassination attempt that was forged and
played to perfection. Last night it felt like two revisited
the Donald Trump sitting which worked in Night one and two.
The Little Godfather he last night, and then JD. Vance
in his speech struck me as a great guy, which
I knew going in, but it didn't strike me like
(04:09):
Marco Rubio.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
I want that guy to be my kid's president.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
So I don't know. I kind of felt like last
night was nowhere near the level of Night one and two.
And maybe that's by design, and maybe that'll be good.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
It'll help Donald Trump shine tonight.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
But what was it like being there?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
What's the reaction from the delegates?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Did they feel like Day three was as good as
one and two.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
You know, Michael, I really wish I could disagree, but
I can't. I mean, I felt like a lot of
people I talked to you after the event felt the
same way. I think they felt like there was a
little bit of a of a lull from the first
two nights. I mean, the biggest, the biggest wow moment
of the night was the ninety eight year old veteran
more than it was kind of the political speeches, you know,
(04:48):
from the from the from the go. You know, I
do think that there's a lot of momentum coming into
tonight for Trump.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
But yes, I think that was interesting.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
You know, roomin us go ahead. I was just gonna
say Tuesday night was the greatest convention night, and I
would say that I've seen in my life, but I
have access to videos and documentaries. I've experienced conventions even
from before I was born. That was an American magical
night that'll never be probably duplicated, all right, so it's
(05:18):
not fair to compare. Last night was typical. A lot
of the things that were planned didn't work, which is
typical for a convention. But what concerned me most was
the loss of the tone. They were taking the high road.
They were doing a message of hope, sticking to the message.
It's okay tonight, lock Donald Trump, but vote for him
for our sake and for our children's future. Last night
(05:40):
got a lot more kind of negative and a lot
more raw raw, And then I saw the focus shift
from the American people to Republican delegates on the floor.
That better changed tonight or guess what the stake isn't
going to sizzle?
Speaker 6 (05:54):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
It seemed to me to be you know, you know,
a how delegation it was was having fun. But at
the same time, here Shade Events trying to give a
speech and you know they're kind of doing in an Ohio
state chant, which is fine. But you know, I think
that that that's.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
All about time. It got real old.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Yeah, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Yeah, And you know as well said, you know, it's
interesting though, Michael. I mean I was in the place
where I could like read the teleprompter while he was speaking,
so I was actually reading him give his speech, and
I would kind of, you know, kind of see how
he would change it.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
He said, he made some really.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Good you know, he's very natural in terms of adding
his own piece of himself into his speech.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
I mean, there's a lot of ad living.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
There was a lot of you know, kind of homes
fun additions to to what he was saying, and and
the naturalness that.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
With which he had to give such a big speech for.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
His life was very impressive, just on the sense of like, hey,
this this is a guy who's sharp.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
He knows what he's.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Doing, he knows how to he knows how to emode.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
And communicate in a really solid way.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
And I thought those were all positive. But yeah, I
think overall, I think your points are and I thought
Don Junior's speech he really kind of hit its tone
of attack and you know, he has some righteous anger
there and that's fine. But I do think it was
it was kind of a different It was a notable
shift in tone, and I think the right.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
It was awful.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
The daughter worked, although that's going to the say, look,
Laura is the co chair of the R and C
and the daughter in law of the president, and she
made the case of how he is as a man.
It's interesting there's a lot of references to Donald Trump
as a father and a grandfather. People forget to mention
him as a husband I hope that's not intentional and
(07:37):
there is more going on to that narrative.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
But you got that from the daughter in law.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
But okay, so if you're going to do the daughter
at that point, you should come back after she's done
speaking and just introduce. After all, I feel this way.
You may not agree. I think it's Junior that godd
us Jade Vance. I think Donald Trump wanted Marco Rubio.
He maybe didn't want to have a court case to
get him, but I have no question he wanted Marco Rubio,
(08:03):
and so maybe, you know, Junior should have just introduced
him and made his case for him as he was
introducing him, rather than bring the daughter out, than do
a long speech than a video. And then it just,
you know, a lot of the things that forged perfection
kind of ran out last night. They better find their tone,
they better find their focus, and then the mainstay cast
a sizzle and deliver this closing remark. You know that
(08:25):
party's falling apart. Somebody better connect the dot that Joe
Biden being old and low in the polls and cognitively
impaired isn't what cause that border crisis or two wars,
or inflation or high interest rates or higher debt. It's
their worldview and policy view. And last night the focus
was all on Joe Biden and kind of mocking and
making fun of him. I just think, look, it should
(08:49):
lend credibility to my praise for Monday and Tuesday. But
I thought last night was really typical, if not weak.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Yeah, I don't just degree. I also, you know, it'll
be interesting to see tonight. Obviously Saturday changed the entire
calculation of what he's going to say tonight and what
he wants to do, And you know, I think that
will be a very It's going to be a very
epic night. I mean, this is this is a building
that wants to hear from Trump, that has a relationship
(09:18):
with Trump that you know, it transcends, you know, normal
political relationships, and so this is going to be a
very It's going to be a very rauckeous, proud all
kind of cheering for him and wanting to hear from
him directly. And this is going to be a very
very big speech effort. He was you know, attempted to
be assassinated. I mean, it's just not serve coated and
(09:39):
is going to be a strong, strong moment tonight, and
I'm not sure anything can kind of get.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Around that r and see consultant analyst Chris Walker joining
us from Milwaukee in the convention. I asked John Decker earlier,
but I'll ask you now formally, how on earth were
the Democrats under Joe Biden. That's why I just say
it has to be he's got to exit now. First
of all the parameters he set have been met. So
(10:04):
now Pelosi Schumer have come to him and said leave.
He said, but they won't, Well, they just did. If
the polls show I can't win, but they won't. They
do show that he is clinging to can you prove
to me Kamala can win? And they're not going to
be able to. So if Joe pulls a Dave or
unlike the movie Dave and refuses to leave, there's nothing
they can do. And it puts them in a tough
(10:25):
place with democracy because it unless they use the twenty
fifth Amendment, they're going to spit in the face of
all the voters for the course of the year. But
I mean, let's let's presume Joe stays. Let's have a
little sympathy for the other side of the aisle. How
on Earth. Do they stage a week long convention and
a raw raw to get everybody united behind Joe Biden
(10:45):
when they're divided about Joe Biden. I mean, he's got
to go or they can't do a convention.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
I mean, it couldn't couldn't happen to a better group
of people.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Now we need the elephant sound effect.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
See now you're getting Donald try your honest no.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I mean, but that's what makes the tiebreaker for me
that I just don't And by the way, my discernment
screamed me as he was stumbling up their force one stairs.
He wasn't going back to Delaware because of COVID. That
was the end of Joe Biden's political life. I think
it's over, but it has to be ultimately, doesn't it.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
He can't do the job now. It is clear.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
It is evident everyone's watching and looking at him as
if he is already, you know, not capable of completing
what he was elected.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
To do three and a half years ago.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
He can't make an honest paste to be back in
the Whitehouse for those four years. It's just it is
the single most absurd situation I've ever seen, where there's
this insistence of running again when everyone knows that he
can't do the job.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
He's in that all all.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Right, So Democrat voters, Democrat voters don't want him, they
don't think he can win.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
The mainstream media doesn't want them.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
I mean, we have one Sound of the day and
it's Van Jones, and I never thought I'd highlight him
in CNN, but boy did he nail it with this quote.
A bullet couldn't stop Trump. A virus just stopped by Yeah. So,
but are they going to get behind Kamala Harris or
is this nineteen sixty eight in the rioting in Chicago
is going to be over who the nominee actually is.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Well, I think Republicans and both on my side, you know,
I'm from the center right side, particularly those who like
fall politics regularly, are a little overconfident on you know,
Kamala being a loser candidate.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Yes, she was the firstone not in the primary.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Yes she's you know, incredibly weak on policy and speeches
and everything else. But let's not forget what the media
will do to kind of paint her as a you know,
the second coming of Barack Obama, you know, running against
you know, the person they truly loath, which is Donald Trump.
Despite the you know, the assassination attempt. You know they're
(12:58):
going to paint in such a way that she will
be I think she will be for minamble, just in
the sense of the media is going to everything you
can trying to make her formidable.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
There's the other side of it too, which is right now,
the media is completely focused on showing Joe the door.
The minute Joe goes to the door, then they'll spend
it all their time attacking Donald Trump. Again, they haven't
changed at all. You want Donald Trump to you want
Joe Biden to stay in the race against Donald Trump,
and you want to stay in as long as possible,
and you certainly want to see their disastrous convention happen
if you're a Republican. I don't think that's going to happen.
(13:29):
I think he's going to be gone by I would
think he'll be gone by Monday, if not sooner. And
that gives them a month to sort this out and
then create and put on a show, and they'll have
the media just like they did in the shadow campaign.
They won't have to technocracy, but they will get rid
of one of their weakest links, which is you can't
hide Joe in a basement and he's out there and
(13:50):
nobody's buying it. So you get rid of that, and
then you've got the media and the tank for you,
technocracy and social media. Not so much with Twitter, but
you can make a close run of it. You can
certainly firm up places like Virginia and make a run
in Michigan, in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, which is necessary to
get to two seventy and avoid a landslide. So careful
(14:10):
what you ask for. It's about to be real, all right,
I'm glad I'm not alone. I didn't know if it
was the Secret Service stories, which is a story of
a decade, the running off of Joe Biden, which is
like an LBJ story of the decade, kind of overshadowing
the RNC convention, or.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Did Night three not live up tonight two?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
In the tone and focus kind of shifted poorly and
it needs to be corrected tonight for Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Nice to see that I'm not going crazy. You're not,
You're not.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
I'm in agreement.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Do you want to see anything? Do you want to
say anything? On behalf of John Decker? Before we go?
Speaker 6 (14:44):
This is John Decker this.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Is my friend. All right, Well, we'll recap. The President
will speak tonight, and we will understand together tomorrow. Enjoy yourself,
get some sleep. I know I haven't and I'm not
even there. All right, God blessed. All right, if you're
just waking up. The big stories are the obvious ones.
Jd Vance accepted his nomination for vice president, and tonight
Donald Trump will do the same. The Secret Service details
(15:10):
get worse and worse by the moment, and there was
an ugly confrontation with two senators on the R and
C convention floor, and they chased the director of the
Secret Service all the way to hide in a room
with other agents. And Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have
made it official and leaked at their CNN for all
to hear. They want Donald Trump to step aside, and
(15:31):
Donald Trump Donald Trump. They want Joe Biden to step aside,
and he just just that, getting on a plane with
COVID nineteen last night.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Joe Biden himself laid out the groundwork for his exit.
He said, if Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer come to
me and tell me to leave I'll.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Listen, but they won't. They just did.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
He said. If the poll suggests I can't win, I'll
be open to it. They vote, but they do now
if the voters don't want me, but they do know
they don't. The latest ape pole shows two thirds of
Democrats do not think he can win and want him
to leave. If I get sick, he tells b e T,
then I would consider leaving. He just left the campaign
(16:18):
trail with COVID. The only other criteria he gave is
if the Lord came to me and told me not
to run, and the scripture comes to mind.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
And he stands at the door and knocks.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
If you invite him and he will come.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
I don't know if that's the Lord or Nancy and
Chuck and Hakim Jeffreys, but they're knocking.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
And the Democrats need him to step aside because they
preach democracy and threats to democracy. And if the voters
gave him the delegates and they just simply take them away,
that's not very democratic. So they need him to step aside.
Will he We wait and see. As for the Republicans,
I don't know if it's the Secret Service details the
fall of Biden. If there was distraction or just a
(17:06):
poor performance last night. But last night was nothing like
Monday or Tuesday was a very typical rah rah rah.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
What concerns me is the tone.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard on
great radio stations across the country, like News Talk ninety
two point one and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee,
or thirteen hundred The Patriot in Tulsa, our Talk six
to fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. We invite you to
listen live while you're getting ready in the morning and
to take us along for the drive to work. But
as we always say, better late than never. Thanks for
(17:36):
joining us for the podcast, Catherine Writes, said Michael d
Atiheartmedia dot Com. The Republicans definitely need to switch from
talking about Biden's failures to talking about Democrat policy failures.
Well that's my take. I thought the tone got changed
a little bit last night and a little bit more negative,
a little less hopeful, and the focus got more aggressively
on Biden and on delegates in Raw. Raw needs to
(17:58):
go back to you got republic can talk to the
American people and have a message of hope. We also
got these two quick talkbacks to get in. The first
one is Jeffrey. I believe listening to WRC in Memphis, Tennessee,
Michael is jeff this COVID stuff. That's exactly what the
Democrats going to use, and we remove him from the
(18:20):
ticket to say he's got COVID and he's gone. Well,
if they go all the way to the twenty fifth Amendment,
I don't know that they'll it's going to come to that.
I assume he has COVID. If they say he has COVID,
he said COVID three times. He's going to be fine.
But my thoughts and prayers are with his recovery. He's
just run out of runway, runout of excuses. I think
Joe Biden is getting ready to exit. I had such
(18:41):
a discerning feeling when he walked up those steps that
that was the end of his presidency and candidacy and
not just going home to Delaware to recover from COVID.
I don't think they're it's going to come to that.
Am Force quickly becoming my favorite listener.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
I don't know many everyday voters who watch as much
convention coverage as we do and break it down and
think about it from a media point of view. They
catch what they can between their other responsibilities and schedule
needs and everyday life, and they will know who they're
voting for well in advance of November fifth and why,
(19:19):
and tonight the stake will sizzle.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
From your lips to God's ears. Look, it all comes
down to Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Tonight.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
He's got to close his own deal. And that's the
speech that's going to be the most scrutinized. It'd be
interesting to see if he does more of a kind
of a rally style or a nomination speech style. And
I think he needs to make the point. Look, I
agree with you, except for there are a lot of
people looking for an excuse that it's okay to vote
for Donald Trump. It's okay to not be loyal to
(19:48):
their party and want to have the prosperity. And I
think it's Donald Trump's job to connect the dots. It's
not a Joe Biden problem. It's a worldview problem that
brings in Aaron Reale, because Aaron, what's really driving all this. Look,
if the America people were doing fine like they were
during Bill Clinton, they wouldn't care if he had a
scandal in the Oval office. They wouldn't care if he
was cognitively impaired. The problem is we are paying that
(20:10):
much for gas, we are paying that much for groceries.
Home ownership is becoming out of reach. The American people
hurting is Joe Biden the Democrat's real problem. And you've
got some stats to prove the age old Ronald Reagan question,
are you better off than you were four years ago?
That answer too is clear.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Oh, the answer is clear, and listen.
Speaker 9 (20:29):
Forty three percent of Americans say their personal financial situation
has gotten worse since January twenty twenty one, when Biden
took the presidency. This is not a great thing if
you're trying to get reelected. Like you said, it always
comes down to the economy Whereagan said it, and it
is true, and not surprisingly, opinions are split by parties.
(20:50):
Sixty percent of Republicans say their situation is worse, but overall,
thirty seven percent of US adults say that Trump would
be better for their personal financial situation.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Michael, this does not get you reelected.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
No, no, Well, the approval rating points that we can't
get reelected. This points do we can't get re elected.
I could go through all the battleground states that he's losing.
I mean, this isn't even looking like the twenty sixteen map.
This is looking like a Ronald Reagan map I posed,
and I'll pose it to you. I pose it to
Rory this way, and to Chris Walker if you're the Democrat.
(21:23):
I mean, just have a little sympathy for them. Let's
say Joe and it's Joe Biden's he's got to walk away,
or they got to do the twenty fifth Amendment. But
you know, if you've got to move forward with with
Joe Biden, how do you do a convention four weeks
from now, how do you even go through the motions
of acting unified and raw raw?
Speaker 4 (21:39):
And you know, it's just it's got to be He's
got to go.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
And then then we got to hope that the American
people look at policies, because that's really what drives it.
Joe Biden's cognitive impairment hasn't led to a fentanyl or
border crisis. Their policies have the gas prices are their
energy price policies. These these dots need to be connected
by the American people. The American people know they're hurting,
(22:04):
do they know what would make them stop hurting. That's
probably not in your information, right Listen.
Speaker 9 (22:10):
They know that having more money and being able to
pay their bills would stop them hurting, at least in
the short term, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
And we have a tendency to do this.
Speaker 9 (22:17):
The President gets too much credit good and bad in
terms of the forces that impact American finances. And we
know that it's supply shocks during COVID nineteen, COVID nineteen
rescue package pent up demand and then inflation as a result.
So there's a number of factors. And yes, policies that
were approved under both Trump and Biden exacerbated the situation.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
But none of that really matters.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Actually, you just dropped a bombshell, you see. I mean, look,
I don't want to poopoo on Donald Trump. I want
him to win. I want him to be president personally,
But the truth of the matter is he got duped
by Fauci. I mean, he's the one that shut down
the economy, He's the one that sent us all home.
He's the one that you know, I love that. You know,
the two people you would get in a room that
(23:02):
are the most anti VACS and most pro Trump and
they'll never connect the dots of who gave them the
vas and who's told them to get the vacs, Donald Trump.
So but yeah, they have masterfully avoided that connection. And
so you know, Joe's holding the bag and but it
has It's been a disaster.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
I don't know how they they work their way out
of this. Everything points to they can't win.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Their only hope is the distraction of a change, and
I think it's coming.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
But exactly and listen, it doesn't matter what caused it
or who caused it. What matters and the only thing
that sticks in people's minds is that they feel worse
now financially than they did four years ago.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
And that's how they're going.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
To vote it.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Well yeah, yeah, that and one one dates back to
a mistake Trump made. But Trump's plan moving forward is
vastly different than Joe Biden's continuing to do what's not working.
So that you know, that's what I think the voters
have kind of connected the dots on. But yes to
the age old Ron, what with all the swing state polling,
(24:04):
with all the pressure for Joe to go away with COVID,
with the Secret Service to bacle and nobody being fired
all that aside, the bottom line is Americans don't feel
like they're doing better than they were four years ago.
That usually spells because remember, at the end of the day,
for an incumbent to lose, you got a first fire them,
and then a challenger can win.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
This all points to he's about to be fired.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Yes, it does, It really really does. And listen.
Speaker 9 (24:30):
Another twenty six percent of those surveys said that regardless
of who they'll vote for, they are more likely to
vote for Biden due to his handling of the economy.
That's less than a quarter. I think that if you
look at this another way, people just aren't happy.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
This isn't about like it is about politics.
Speaker 9 (24:47):
But the way the question is posed is that like,
you don't like this, you don't like what's happening, and
you just want to change.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
And that that's seventy five percent want to change.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Yeah, at the end of it, to go go to
am force his comment. You know, the average person doesn't
follow things like we do. But the average person senses
this that Joe Biden is cognitively impaired. That's a problem.
He has an eye problem. Inflation that has stood up,
he has an e problem. The economy that has stood up.
He has a wars two wars problem and an Israel
(25:20):
problem that has stood up. The only thing he had
going for him was when you could hide him in
a basement or abortion. And people won't get to social
issues if they're having economic urgencies. This is as old
as politics itself and the writings on the wall. Now,
the question for the Democrats are is there anybody, especially Kamala,
that you can replace them with that'll change the trajectory?
And I don't necessarily think there is, but at least
(25:42):
it gives him a shot, whereas moving forward.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
With him is a no brainer. How it'll come.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
But there's your final answer, probably the closest to the
general election. What was the percentage of Democrats who feel
like their life is worse off?
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Much less?
Speaker 9 (25:58):
Did you do the percentage of Democrats that like their
life is worth all?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
That is only thirty two percent.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yeah, but that's like saying, you know, Biden still has
seventy percent of the black support. Yeah, but if you
don't have ninety percent, you can't win an election. So
thirty percent of his own party aren't doing well either.
That makes those fringe people very susceptible. To the messaging
of Donald Trump. Tonight, good reporting, Aaron, We'll talk again tomorrow.
Speaker 10 (26:21):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Michael R.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Tough five stories of to day. Well, I think I
can sum it up this way. I want it's like
a clever Fox anchor, But I'll sum it up this way.
Trump's got Vance and Biden's got COVID.
Speaker 11 (26:34):
Road to the White House. Twenty twenty four. Ohio Senator JD.
Vance officially accepted the nomination for Vice President Wednesday night
at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Speaker 10 (26:46):
And I'm overwhelmed with gratitude to say I officially accept
your nomination to be Vice President of the United States
of America.
Speaker 11 (26:56):
The nation's first Millennial Party nominee formally introduced himself to
the voting public, touching on his humble beginnings, his journey
to become an Ohio senator and now VP nominee. Meantime,
President Biden has tested positive for COVID nineteen. The White
House says Biden tested positive following an event in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
In Washington.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
How Speaker Mike Johnson wants the director of the Secret
Service to resign following attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Brian Shook as that story.
Speaker 11 (27:27):
Johnson told Fox News Wednesday that the security lapses at
the Pennsylvania rally were inexcusable. He joins a growing list
of lawmakers calling on the Protective Services leader to step down.
The Speaker is also creating a special task force to
investigate the shooting. When lawmakers returned to Washington on Monday,
(27:48):
I'm Brian Shook, a.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Couple of GOP senators confronted Kimberly Keitl, the head of
Secret Service, screaming at her they want answers up an
escalator into a room and hid, saying this is not
the time or the place to ask or answer questions. Wow,
that's weird, all right. Joe always said, well, if.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Nancy and Chuckie came to me, well then maybe.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
I'd step aside.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
But they won't.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Well they did. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi has reportedly.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
In secret but reported by CNN, told Joe Biden you
can not win and you could ruin Democrats' chances of
winning the House if you continue on with this campaign.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
That followed Hakeem Jeffries and Chucky Schumer, who both did
the same thing earlier in the day. Meanwhile, the virtual
roll call to nominate President Biden for the twenty twenty
four ticket is moving ahead as planned, not being moved
forward as wanted, but as planned. The DNC planned to
nominate Biden with a virtual meeting before the convention in Chicago,
(28:53):
but new reports say the group of Democrats wanting to
delay that virtual call after questions arose about Biden's mental fitness.
The DNC says the role call will happen as planned.
What does that say if Joe doesn't go with everybody
in the polls telling him to go, and if the
DNC is sticking to the pre convention role, there's one
(29:14):
thing left, the twenty fifth Amendment. So Joe goes volitionally
or he gets forced out and his own cabinet would
have to initiate that. These are interesting times, so interesting
in some ways they could overshadow a bit of the RNC,
But it all comes down to Trump's speech tonight.
Speaker 8 (29:34):
This is Rebecca in spring Hill, Tennessee, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
By the way, Donald Trump will formally accept the nomination
for President of the United States for a third time
he's the only person to be nominated three times and
actually serve as a president, and it could lead to
a second term. Then you have the Secret Service details,
and they get worse and worse as they trickle and
trickle by day. And then you got Joe Biden being
pushed out the door and finally leaving the campaign trail
(30:03):
with COVID. We did get this talkback question on the
president and COVID.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
Did, but not get the washer.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
He the father him that old, that old narrative. Yes,
you can get the vaccine and still get COVID. He's
been vaccinated three times and I think this is his
third third bout with COVID. And then Cathy writes, Michael,
just because you were right about the convention tone last
night doesn't mean that you're not crazy. Oh don't I
know that? And doesn't Rory love to aimen comments like that?
(30:38):
You like when people pick on me? Roory O'Neil's here
with our Rory final story. A lot on the line
for the president tonight. What do we know about what
the President's going to address in this speech? We know
it's gonna rewritten, but to what.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Yeah, we don't know.
Speaker 10 (30:53):
Very little has been said as a telegraphing what the
president may focus on tonight. How much does he talk
about what happened on Saturday? How much does he talk
about Joe Biden? And what other.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Messages does he want to send about uniting America. We
know some of his posts on truth social say one thing,
but it's also Donald Trump, and a teleprompter.
Speaker 10 (31:14):
Is a suggestion, not really something he's bound to follow.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Well, you you bring that up. Look, you return to
your comfort, all right, So he's comfortable in that rally
style and not necessarily you know, as long as you
and I think you can go in and out of that,
as long as it ends with a strong I think
content wise. Look, they've been perfect. Last night I think
was a bad night, but they've been perfect all week,
(31:39):
sticking to the message, which is this constant flow of
different people, you know, suggesting it's okay not to like him,
and it's also okay to want to, you know, restore security, resport,
restore prosperity, and vote for him.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
I think that's going to be in there.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
I think he does need to uniquely tell he was
the one that was shot at, so I think he
does need to cover that. But I do think unlike
last night, the tone needs to return to not making
the case that Joe Biden is cognitively impaired and unfit,
but that their policies have failed. And I think the
focus needs to be not so much, certainly not on
the delegates as I think happened last night, and not
(32:17):
so much even to Republicans whose votes he has. He
needs to talk to the American people with a message
of hope and a plan to write the course. And
I were simple to you know, to say tougher to
pull off.
Speaker 10 (32:28):
Well right well, because in many ways, a lot of
the other speeches he's given in the past focus on
things like water pressure, the last election, you know, and
things like that. And to your point of you know,
this has to be a much more disciplined message that
he's giving out tonight, because most Americans don't tune into this.
(32:49):
I know we do where the friend we mean, we mean, you,
me and this audience we tune into this stuff. Most
of the country does not, so and that's who he's
got to be talking to tonight.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
I have said all along there needs to be a
Donald Trump two point oh, and then this could be
a very power me He's gonna be one of the
rare people to get two first terms to get things
done and then hand things off if he can set
the tone right and set the direction correctly. But I've
said we needed Donald two point oh when he nearly died.
That's a life changing experience. People are usually very changed
(33:22):
after that. And so the notion that he ripped up
the other speech and then he could deliver something where
because I think at some point he could look at
American people right in the eye and even address you know, Look,
I'm not for everybody. I understand people don't like me,
but like what I do and trust me. I've done
it before and I will do it again, or that
(33:43):
I have changed and here's how I've changed and here's
how it's different. Or to look at the American people
and I say, I'm not a dictator, i don't love
Vladimir Putin, I'm not an Adolf Hitler, and I will
leave after one term. I mean he should. I think
that's part of the theme this week, and it would
be very effective if he did it.
Speaker 10 (33:58):
If he did it, yeah, because the campaign for twenty
eight starts in on November sixth, exactly because he's getting
he's well, you said, I'm I'm disagreeing with you because
he said, you know, he'll be the president with two
first terms.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
No, he's going to be a lame duck on day one.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Well, yes and no, it depends. If this is a landslide.
He's got a mandate, he'll he'll have three months to
get a lot of changes.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
Made and we'll see what happened.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
You bring up, you bring up. We have twenty seconds.
So this isn't fair. But you know I left the
Jade Vance's speech with that's a great guy. I knew that,
and he appears to be that. I didn't get excited
about him being, you know, the air apparent to trump
Ism and the future of America like I do with
Marco Rubio.
