Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
Drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast two three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this stupid This is your Morning.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Show with Michael Gilchrum. Did I just sing the Beatles
Lonely People in a miss Piggy voice? Yes, yes, you did.
You see. I'm in and out of what feels like
I'm dreaming, but I'm really talking and it's really happening. Right,
You have I better wake up and watch what I
say this. You are sleep deprived. You have one one
(00:50):
more day. We have all lived done three hours sleep
this week, and somehow it all added up to deprivation.
Seven minutes after the hour on the Aaron streaming live
on your iHeartRadio app, this is your morning show. I'm
Michael del Jurnald. Thanks for waking up with us. I
said yesterday and it was pure discernment. It might have
been the day before today I mentioned I haven't slept anyway.
(01:13):
When Joe Biden announced he had COVID and got on
a plane and suspended his campaign appearances, my discernment was,
say goodbye to Joe Biden. That's it. This isn't going
back to Delaware because he has COVID for a third
time and be vaccinated three times. This is Joe Biden
getting ready to exit the stage, which made me think
(01:33):
quickly of I really don't have to be a prophet.
It's nineteen sixty eight. I remember saying two weeks ago.
You know what has me praying it's nineteen sixty eight
all over again, and we still have a convention to go.
We still have an assassination to go, and we still
have Biden to step down to go. Now we're down
(01:56):
to one a convention in Chicago as it was in
nineteen sixty eight. Yesterday just kind of gets you up
to speed. Former President Barack Obama told his allies made
sure it got leaked to the Washington Post. Remember keep
your eyes if you want to know what's really happening.
The ones leading the charge for this physical throwing out
(02:19):
of Joe Biden for the media is the Washington Post
in Axios. So the Washington Post of course, with its
big headline. Oh that's it.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I remember when Barack Obama was president. We used to
do a thing I'll never forget, one of the funniest.
Shannon Freeman is probably not listening right now. Shannon used
to always come over the house. And there was one
day her and her son wor at the house and
it was a really bad thunderstorm, and so we all
went out of the front porch to see, you know,
what was going on. Yeah, And so I started doing
(02:48):
something I used to do on the air at the time,
which was Barack Obama when he would say enough, and
we used to have this sound effect of a thundercloud,
you know, so I'd go enough. I was doing it live,
real thundered light and we were out there laughing. It's
a miracle we didn't get struck. But that was an
old Barack Obama. When he had enough, it was just enough.
(03:10):
He did that with global warming, He did that with
a lot of things, and that was supposed to just
make the debate end. That was it, that was over.
Oh all right, Well, then global warming isn't a debate. Anymore.
It's fact, all right, we gotta move on. He's had enough,
And apparently the proverbial you know enough happened over Joe Biden.
It really doesn't matter, you know, if Joe Biden's there,
are not there, Barack Obama's really under the Mask's Barack
(03:34):
under that man pulled the mask up. There's Barack. But
I guess Barack Obama finally chimed in. Obama has spoke
with Biden only once since the debate, and he has
been clear in his conversations with others that the future
of Biden's candidacy is a decision for the president alone.
Now it's suddenly being leaked that Barack Obama feels like
(03:56):
it's time from to step aside. That goes along with
personal calls to step out of the race by Nancy Pelosi,
Chuck Schumer, King, Jeffries others. The media continues to prosecute this.
So you know when I told you that my discernment
as Joe Biden walked off with his head down and
then walked slowly up the short steps of Air Force one,
(04:20):
even stopping two steps in for about eighteen seconds. If
you go back and launch, that was Joe Biden saying
goodbye to the presidency. Now, look, I can do talking
points right here, like Sean Hannaby, I consider and reel
down them all. You say, democracy, but now are you
going to race the vote to the people? Look, the
Democrats are still in a rough spot. I think if
(04:40):
you want to know what my next thought is, not
so fast on Kamala Harris. Joe Biden's getting his best
deal to step aside. He'll probably spend it, Jill will benefit,
and Hunter will benefit financially from whatever deal they're cutting
to step him aside. I don't know, it's probably going
(05:01):
to Kamala Harris. I mean that's a wise thing to
say on July nineteenth. I think they've got other surprises,
including you know, you got one of two ways to
play it. I think let's say it's Michelle Obama announce it,
Joe's out of the race, Michelle two days later announces
she's in, and then you have the slow build up
leading up to the convention, and then at the convention
(05:23):
you unify everything and even the odds for the general election.
Or you could just go with an open convention and
say Joe's not running, He's releasing his delegates. This is
not unprecedented. This is actually what used to be normal.
When John F. Kennedy went to the convention in nineteen sixty,
(05:47):
Bobby worked his butt off, going delegate to delegate. You
went into that convention hall and you had to win
people over. Now it's all done by the American people,
and they arrive and it's just a ceremony. They may
go that route. It's gonna be one of the two routes.
What is no longer in question. I was actually how
my breath. I thought he's gonna make the announcement right
(06:09):
in the middle of the convention, just to just destroy
Trump's last night. And there's gonna be some critics to
say Donald Trump did that well enough on his own.
But what we're gonna see now is probably between now
and Sunday, the Lyndon Johnson speech from the Oval office
that he will not seek the nomination for President of
(06:30):
the United States and release his delegates as only he can.
And then whether they go, we're gonna find out who
who their next puppet is. Let's put it that way.
Getting back to the last night, I would do it
in headline form. There was a great Trump speech last night?
(06:52):
Was it the wrong Trump? Here's son, Eric. You are strong, you.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Are full of life, and you are unapologetic. You're optimist.
Him is contagious. Your backbone is unbreakable. Your conviction to
fight for what is right and against all that is
wrong is truly next level.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Everybody has, you know, their gifting and their comfort zone.
I did an interview with Donald Trump Junior in studio,
so there was you know, and and then talk to
him during commercial breaks, and I remember telling my audience,
I'm a little this is back in the original run
(07:33):
against Hillary, and I'm like, wow, I got this sneaking
feeling the wrong Trump is running. That's how good he was.
But he wasn't that good doing a speech the other night.
And this I think is a comfort zone for Eric.
You know, you look at they parade the family around
and your first inclination is, well, the future of trump
(07:54):
Ism is Donald Trump Junior. Oh sounds like Eric. Last night,
Tucker Carlson talked about the difference between title and leadership
if effect that it had on Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
He was no longer just a political party's nominee or
a former president or a future president.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
This was the leader of a nation. Everything's going great,
and then Halkogan arrives.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
All you scumbags, all you trug dealers, and all you
crooked politicians need to answer one question, brother, what you're
gonna do when Donald Trump and all the trump of
maniacs run wild on you?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Brother? Uh? He did not. He did break character and
in his own voice, using his real name. He did
say that which I had never heard him say his
real name before, talked pretty straight about the situation.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Crime is out of control, the border is out of control,
the price of food and gas and housing is out
of control. And the only person who can clean this
up is Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
For a president Trump, yeah, this much. He didn't have
any choice. We have seen him, but we haven't heard
from him since he nearly lost his life. So you
knew you're gonna have to do that story, and you
either weave it into the speech or you do it separate.
They chose to do it up front, then begin a speech,
and then he kind of broke out into an hour
(09:25):
and a half rally and then closed to the speech.
But it was the first time that Donald Trump was
able to give a minute by minute detail of the
assassination attempt and what it was like to be the target.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
So many people have asked me what happened?
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Tell us what happened, please, And therefore I will tell
you exactly what happened, and you'll never hear it from
me a second time because it's actually too painful to tell.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
I heard a loud, whizzing sound and felt something hit
me really, really hard.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
On my right ear.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
I said to myself, Wow, what was that.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
It can only be a bullet. Former President Trump says
he can't wait to get back to the White House
and right rewrite all the wrongs.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Inflation has wiped out the life savings of our citizens
and forced the middle class into a state of depression
and despair. That's what it is. It's despair and depression.
We cannot and will not let this continue.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Trump said, I'll stop what he called the invasion at
our southern border. And I think.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Everybody, as a Republican, as a patriot in this room,
and most Democrats, we want people to come into our country,
but they have to come into our country legally.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Former President Trump displayed the very immigration data chart that
saved his life. I don't know, Jeffrey, my producers here,
there were a lot of funny moments. He was very,
very funny last night, and he's a very funny man.
He's charming. But this this by far was the favorite. Unfortunately,
this particular SoundBite cuts off before he starts. He had
(11:10):
libs some funny stuff after. But yeah, he finally showed
last night the chart that saved his life. Oh there
it is. That's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Wow, last time I put up that shot, I never
really got to look at it. Without that shot, I
would not be here.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I looked that he did turn and then I heard
something whizz. There's this perspective he gave with that chart. Yeah,
it was just hilarious. He was a riot. It was.
It was you know, there were really good moments, but
they were just you know, we have a big fight,
me and my daughter Alex over confetti cake. I just
don't get it. What it's just too much. But you know,
(11:53):
I mean, if you're I guess those flakes are in there.
They give it the you know whatever the confetti part
is that gives it the the sweetness flavor. They were
all in there, you know, just surrounded by a lot
of cake, So a lot of cake you had to
chew and search for him a little bit vetsaw. There
was a lot of talking about it. He would never
say Biden's name. He actually did slip say it once
(12:14):
and then he acknowledged that he slipped and said it
and said it twice, and then I think he threw
it a third. But you know, basically one time. But
they tried to address the current administration's failures. The current administration.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
We are indeed a nation in decline.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Trump promised to bring down inflation and the so called
illegal immigration crisis by closing the border, and he also
reiterated his claim that wars in Ukraine and Gaza would
have never happened if he was president. He dare not
say the name Biden until well, he felt like he
had to.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
What this administration did? Damage that this administration has done.
And I say it often. If you took the ten
worst presidents in the history of the United States, think
of it, the ten worst, added them up, they will
not have done the damage that Biden has done.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
It's not in these clips, but the president actually humbly
asked for everyone's vote, Republicans, Democrats, promised to be everybody's president.
The call to unity was there.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
We are one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and
justice for all.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
So Donald Trump wrapped up what was nearly two hours
in all the RNC convention. The balloons fell, the family celebrated,
and that's it. Donald Trump is your Republican nominee. And
who will he face? We don't know. The only thing
we do know is it's not going to be Joe Biden.
This is your morning show with Michael del Chuna. Love
(13:37):
to hear from you. We just simply can't have your
morning show if I'm doing all the talking, so bailing
us out. As Austin in the Lou, I love that city,
Saint Louis. I was just recently in Saint Louis last weekend.
That otch, what a big, beautiful utch. Love the lou
from the hill to the Yarch to Bush Stadium. To
Austin who had this comment, I just heard you say
(13:59):
that the clips today are doing hum a better service
than a long speech last night. And I'm thinking maybe
that's where a good amount of people are gonna see
all of this is through clips online and things that
have been cut out and grown down. Yeah, well, you
know you'll have a debate and there'll be forty million
(14:20):
people watch and then another twenty five thirty million we'll
see clips, and then another ten eight to ten million.
You know, we'll read stories about it. The further and
further you get away from experiencing it, the more and
more susceptible it is to people twisting it. So, you know,
(14:40):
I don't think CNN will be as kind in clips
are they actually cnmay they're trying to play this a
little bit more straight. MSNBC won't. That's always a dangerous thing.
But you know, listen, I'm not being hypercritical. I love
Donald Trump. I have prayed for Donald Trump for years
and I am still on my week long walking on
(15:05):
sunshine gratitude to God for protecting him. So you know,
I got a lot of grace, got a lot of mercy.
I don't know that I've done hul Cogan. I mean,
the first night was so extraordinary. The second night is
unmatchable and probably will never be matched again. That was
the most absolutely perfect, on point, every delivery. I can't
(15:29):
tell you any times hair and my arms were standing
up and on my neck. No one will ever match
that level. Now, the problem is, you just had a
great night and a never before level of greatness night
followed by a typical third night, which was a typical
kind of a convention night, and then last night hul
Cogan kid Rock and that entrance and then kissing the helmet,
and I don't know. I don't know this first impression,
(15:51):
last impression. I don't know if that was the strong finish.
It was a long finish after a long week. Shorter
probably would have been received better, but that's the style
he's comfortable with. There were a lot of laughs, and
if you go back in in two hours, you can
grab three seconds here, five seconds there, eight seconds there,
and it's all there. The hope, the unity. It may
(16:12):
have served better. You know, there's some people that are
going to were watching last night specifically to see if
he's a new man, and I think he is. But
he used a typical old style and that may cause
some people to think he hasn't changed. I would have
just strategically handled things differently. But you know what, I've
never been president of the United States. This guy one
in twenty sixteen when no one said he would won.
(16:34):
I think he would have won in twenty twenty if
not for COVID and changing of election laws and a
biased press. So you know Donald Trump knows best. I'm
sure quarterbacks. Somebody back, I'm a lot more successful than me. Hey,
it's me, Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
five to eight am Central, six to nine Eastern and
great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio, or Columbus, Georgia.
(16:56):
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
and we're grateful you're here. Now. Enjoy the podcast. Nancy
Pelosi is telling how Democrats President Biden is close to
being persuaded to exit. I'll give you a little noster
deel journo here. By the time you hear my voice
again on Monday, he will no longer be a candidate
for president of the United States. It's imminent. Meanwhile, Donald
(17:17):
Trump officially accepted the nomination. I asked for a lot
of your takes on it. Dave wrote, I'm happy Trump
is okay, but the GOP is making a huge mistake
by celebrating his survival and not mentioning the other victims.
I'll settle down, everybody, I'll handle this. First of all,
his entire firefighter's uniform and helmet was behind Donald Trump
(17:38):
the entire speech. Donald Trump has spoken to the family.
They have raised over six million dollars for the family,
not that that can replace their father and husband. There
is not a single speaker all week that ever brought
up the assassination attempt. It didn't pay tribute to the
two that were injured and the one who lost his life,
especially Donald Trump. And then just to show you that
(18:00):
everyone is different, Uh, this one basically just you know,
says are you kidding me? You you didn't like Hulk Hogan.
I loved it. I thought it was great, lighthearted because
it's okay to have fun sometimes. And he also touched
on how Trump is given, which is an excellent thing
(18:21):
that you have pointed out and a few others do.
But mostly it was just fun and common.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
M Yeah, I just compared you to the first first night, spectacular,
second night out of this world literally and will never
be duplicated, and that's what really led to the euro
By the way, the second night is probably would put
Joe Biden out of the race.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Third night was like a typical you know, convention night,
and then last night was just I don't know, I
don't know you finished with forward momentum, but you you
did eventually finish. Uh, and it was Remember the old
Aaron Rayels with this. Do you remember the old was
it pray Go co It's in there, Remember it's in there.
They would do that. Yeah, but I I want real
tomatoes and chunks, it's in there. I want real mushrooms
(19:04):
and gardic It's in there. It's in there. The Ray
Ragu commercial, or maybe it was pray Go I should know.
I'm pizza boy. Anyway, make a monster short. It was
all in there. The message of hope. I wanted it
to be unmistakable. This this simple. I wanted people to
see a changed Donald Trump from nearly losing his life,
refocused in leadership, refocused in determination, and refocused in humble
(19:27):
servant leadership. I think it's happened. People may disagree with me,
and I think it was there. He's got a lot
of old habits. He's just more comfortable with the rally
style and that's what made it two hours. But it
was all in there.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
To quote pray Go, I really think so, Michael, I
really do.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I really think he's change. Absolutely. I can see it
on his face. I can see it.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
What do you see? I'm curious.
Speaker 8 (19:48):
I'm not I'm not like rebudding this even I'm asking,
I'm genuinely curious, like what you see that makes you
think he.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Changed the only thing that you could possibly But first
of all, there are people that would argue with you, Aaron,
that he didn't need to change. She's cast people's minds
a certain way. He's always been a family man. He's
always been funny, he's always been loving, and he's always
carried about more than others in himself. I think he
has come across egotistical a lot and prideful a lot.
(20:14):
But no, you can just look in a man's eye
who came that close to dying. I think he has
a different focus of God and American people who have
prayed for him that ended up protecting him. He knows
he has a second chance to life and wants to
make it work. He seems to be way more focused
on us than his opponents. I saw a lot of change.
(20:35):
I just think he's got the habits of he prefers
that long delivery, and then his sarcasm and humor leads
him down similar roads. He got drill baby drill in
China virus and even laughed when he said it because
he knows it's become kind of a caricature of himself.
So I see a change man. But it takes a
while for old habits to go away. And the old
habit led to a very long speech, but everything about
(20:56):
hope not despair, everything about unity, everything. He smoke directly
to people who don't like him, directly to people who
didn't vote for him, and said, whether you vote for
me or not, I'm going to be your president and
I'm gonna make America great again. And he did something
never did in eight years. He humbly looked the camera
in the eye and he humbly asked people for their vote.
That's a different man. Sorry, I'll fight that one to
(21:19):
the death. But a lot of old habits came out
last night.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
Yeah, listen, I'm taking the other side of that bet.
And for the people that loved him and said he
didn't need to change one one iota, I think you
get exactly what you want, right, listen. Like Trump is
a special breed, and I will absolutely give him credit
when it's due. For sure, he has done some and
you never really know which way he's going to go,
which is kind of like what makes it exciting and
(21:43):
lying at the same time, Like I'm always like I
wouldn't be surprised to be like brought in Hillary Clinton
at some point, like you just don't know.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
You genuinely don't know his direction. And that's a good
and bad thing.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
But I think he's the type who could survive and
assassination attempt and be like same, like it's another day
on the job.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Yeah, he looks different. And I saw the somebody did
a film with him talking earlier. It was the first
time we heard his voice since the assassination attempt, and
it was all about God and all about the providence
of God, and it was a very humble He knows
if he doesn't turn to look at that, he's gone.
That's going to change. Anybody to suggest that that can't
change Donald Trump is no, He's I think he's definitely changed.
(22:27):
There are things about him that are not going to change.
Our friends are going to know their friends, our enemies
are going to know their enemies. He's not going to
take anything from anybody. He's going to focus on the boarder,
he's going to focus on the economy. He's going to
focus on oil and energy, and he's not going to
fall for any COVID nonsense a second time. So You're
right that some people shouldn't want him to change, and
that part hasn't changed, which kind of brings us to
(22:48):
our focus, which is what can China expect if Donald Trump. Well,
he basically addressed that last night.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
Yeah, nothing good for China, that's for sure.
Speaker 8 (22:57):
He plans sixty percent on Chinese goods, major downside growth
risks for China, but not that you know, the global
risks to the global economy or what's more profound. But
I also think, and this is very important, he put
tariffs on China in twenty eighteen, Biden kept those in place.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
Biden has not moved those.
Speaker 8 (23:16):
Vance said in his first televised interview that China is
our biggest adversary, in our biggest threat, and.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
This is not going to bode well. However, some experts
believe that China.
Speaker 8 (23:27):
Is more likely to have positive trade outcomes under Trump presidency.
And that's because we all know Trump is the deal maker.
He is like any negotiator, liking to set the barlow,
and then he sets the price low, and then he
works up from there. So it's very possible that that's
sixty percent tariff is a starting bargaining point. It's intense
and it might not end up there, but it's something
(23:48):
to get them to the table and to have them
listen up.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Now there were three things he addressed. Now you go
back to Clindra, which and this is all in the
global Warming initiatives, because that's always been a center of
global warming, which is if you go back and study
its origins and Agenda twenty one, it was about redistributional well,
from rich nations to poor nations, eliminating economic and military superpowers,
get on a level playing field for the purposes of
(24:12):
global governance. Now, whether or not fear of global warming
is the trigger, I will tell you this. When it
came to solar, which was the push of Barack Obama
and led to Cylindra, and what made it stupid was
people don't stay in homes long enough for solar to
make sense the investment and gets your return on the investment.
And oh, by the way, if you try to compete
in the solar world, or you push the solar world,
it's a win for China. They're the ones that own
(24:34):
the marketplace on providing these kinds of technologies. Then you
got the regular technologies and the chips, and then they're
on the forefront of that, and then the EV, which
is what I really We're in a short segment. I'm rushing,
but the EV is the big part. They're opening up.
They're building them right now, manufacturing plants for very cheap
Chinese EV vehicles. So if America leads the way to
(24:54):
EV and anti gas vehicles, guess what, they're right across
the border ready to capitalize on that. He talked about
how he would block that. Oh, there's there's no question
China didn't like Donald Trump. Some might even conclude that's
why the virus did away with Donald Trump. And I
don't think they like what he represents in a second
first term either, and looks like Aron would like to
(25:15):
take him out in a fatoa. But China can't be
chomping at the bit wanting Donald Trump back.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
No, no, absolutely not. And listen, we'll see how this
plays out. Again. You never really know.
Speaker 8 (25:26):
This could be for the best, and we don't know
that the sixty percent is a hard line. We do
know that if you look at VANCE and you look
at Trump and their position on China, it is our
biggest adversary by far, and that is not going to
bode well.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
For them.
Speaker 8 (25:40):
Will it bode well for us and the policies that
are implemented is a bigger question.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
You also brought up pillary Clinton. By the way, two
seconds you need to go. You also brought pillary Clint.
Everybody talks about Michelle Obama or Kamala Harris or a
wild Wild West Open Convention nineteen sixty eight style in Chicago.
In thirty two days, nobody's brought up Hillary Clinton. Could
she come out of the bullpen? Wow? Wow, that would
(26:05):
make things very interesting. Fast Aaron, you have a great weekend.
I know it's been a long week. Great reporting.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I'm a and no mouths.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
It's Marna Tennessee and my morning show.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
It's your morning show, Michael Dale journal. I asked for
your guys take, and we're getting it, Rick, writes Michael
di Atiheartmedia dot Com. It was fun but a missed
opportunity to tie the Democrat Party's worldview to the failed
policy views that have created the failed consequence. They must
focus on the party, not Biden, as Joe will not
(26:38):
be their nominee. Well, I think that was there, and
that was the purpose of not mentioning his name, and
certainly whoever they go to. That will be the strategy
to connect that dots, and they have time they I
think the one thing they know is they're not going
to be facing Joe Biden. But are they going to
be facing Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama, one of the governors
from New York or Michigan or California, and then that
(26:59):
will become their strategy. I think it was a missed
opportunity to clearly, unmistakably not talk to the floor, not
talk to Republicans. You got those votes, finished the job,
and that was woven throughout the entire week. It's okay
to hate me, but love what I can do for you.
It's ok to not like me but feel comfortable to
(27:22):
vote for me and to address a worldview and a
policy view of a party that has failed them terribly
and unmistakably. You know what your life was four years ago,
you know what it is today. Come on, let's put
all these narratives and stereotypes aside. Let's unite. Like I said,
(27:43):
it was all in there, just spread out over a
long period of time, So it was more of a
rally than it was an acceptance speech. It was a
long week. I just kind of do it this way.
Night one was spectacular. Night two was at such a
level that has never happened and probably will never happen again.
(28:05):
Night three was kind of a typical convention night, a
lot of ick, a lot of cheesy, a lot of
I give what you're trying to do there, I didn't
quite pull it off kind of thing. And then last night,
I don't know that it finished strong compared to Night
one and Night two, which I guess is the age
old debate what's better a first impression or a last impression.
(28:25):
But I think if you go back in sound bite form,
all those messages were there. It was just done over
a long style rally, style that much of Donald Trump
hasn't changed. And that's how I viewed it watching on
television Royo and you, of course, as in Milwaukee covering
the convention all week, everybody didn't seem to lose energy,
and nobody left the building even though it was long.
(28:45):
What was your take?
Speaker 9 (28:47):
Yeah, and by the way, the delegates really can't leave
because they're on buses, so they have to you know,
there's that Well, look, we were all in rapt attention
that first fifteen to twenty minutes when he told what
happened on Saturday and gave his version of events, saying
he won't talk about the assassination attempt ever again. But
then when he started doing the hey, thanks Lee Greenwood,
(29:10):
you had a great hit, but I made it better.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
And thanks Kid Rock.
Speaker 9 (29:13):
You know there was so much testosterone poured out on
the stage before Donald Trump arrived with Kid Rock, Hulk Hogan,
Dana White. And then I think Donald Trump showed up
with what he would have called Jeb Bush low energy.
Jeb I think there was, but considering the story he
was telling, that was somewhat appropriate. But then to have
that same low energy I think carry across for ninety
(29:35):
minutes for a convention crowd that was just tired. They
want to go home, they want to see the balloons drop,
and they want to get back to their own beds.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
I told this analogy from a science of comedy. I
will tell you this well. Rory knows this from a
news perspective. If you're going to start talking about a
story that's a week old, you better have something really
unique and new to say about it, because it's a
week old. In comedy, the longer the setup, the funnier
the burden is for the joke to be funny. The
(30:07):
shorter the setup is, the more funny it can be,
and the less burden there is on a funny punchline.
So there are great storytellers and they tell long jokes,
but you've got to be really gifted to do that,
and so that's the risk. That's the risk. Yeah, Bob Newhart,
who were All Morning, his death at the age of
ninety four, was a classic at that. They'll cause me
quite frankly, it was very good at that. But no,
(30:29):
to make a long story short, and it is a
long week, I just think had he come out and
stuck to script, but I don't think he's comfortable reading
a script. Even when he would go in and out
of rally and speech, you could tell the speech was
he's just uncomfortable reading a speech.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
It just doesn't feel authentic to him. No, he's not
great on a prompter, that's not his strong suit. But
he's great at picking the message and crafting it to
the crowd. But in this case, just too long. Look,
the Gettysburg address was two hundred and seventy two words
and took two minutes. There was a guy named Everett
who spoke before Abe Lincoln, who spoke for two hours.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Oh wow, I didn't know that. Yeah, well yeah, Everett,
Massachusetts is what the town is named for him. But
you just like, yeah, well you didn't know that.
Speaker 9 (31:14):
You don't remember the guy who spoked for two hours,
but you remember the guy who spoke for two minutes.
And you know, you should be just as concise as
you can, especially in this kind of a setting, because
he really didn't have to do much. The bar is
pretty low. You're surging in the polls, even in the
swing states. You really he just has to coast at
this point, and while the other team is imploding.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Well, I think, in fact, I think maybe we'll spend
our second visit solely on that what's next, because I
don't think Joe Biden will be a candidate for president
by the time we talk again on Monday, and where
they go next. But just to conclude on that, I
think it was all in there, but it was spread
out over a long period of time. I wanted to
see him not talk to the people in that room.
I wanted to see him not talk to me. He's
(31:58):
got my vote. I wanted him to talk to everybody
who voted against him. He did it. It was in there.
He talked about how he'll be their president. He talked
about if you don't like me, or if you're believing
all these stereotypes about me, it's still okay to want
the America. But it was this spread out, so long.
I will say this. When he did do the teleprompter
screen and then when he started joking around about I
(32:19):
didn't really get to see it the first time. I mean,
there was some great humor mixed in throughout, but it
was it was very, very long, and I don't know.
I think people at a shallow glance will say, that's
the same old Donald Trump.
Speaker 9 (32:32):
That's the risky run, right right, And I think everyone too.
And when he started doing the you know, Lee Greenwood,
thanks to you and thanks to this guy and that guy,
and thanks to you. I think everyone's everybody.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Who that one made laugh? Did you remember what he did?
The Baron line? How I got it? But I don't
think Baron was there last night. No, he was not.
But Malanya, who you've been waiting all week long. She
is stunning, isn't she? She is her face during kid Rock.
I mean, what a moment. You know what I genuinely
believe Donald Trump loves kid Rock and then loves opera
(33:04):
right side by side. But weird, Well, there was there
was Hull Cogan, there was kid Rock Wedge, you know,
and then you had you know, pro his golf his
golf pro and then Tucker with wrinkled pants, even though
he had great things to say. Uh. I I can't
believe I would think the left would pick on this
(33:25):
the wrong Trump had the great Knight and Eric Trump
blew away the rest of his family. You know, you
never see the one the right kid coming, do you.
I mean I thought Eric was terrific, blew away down
junior and maybe he's the junior ceded to his daughter
for the most part. Yeah, what do you mean? I
mean he let the daughter do most of the talking
(33:45):
the night before done well, yeah, and I would have
left it at her. I mean I would think that
probably Eric is the sister in law, his wife and
the granddaughter were the top three trumps of the week. Uh.
And then I always get the former wife mixed up
with the daughter. Evanna is the daughter, Evanka is the
mother right right? Yeah, and Evanna never spoke, which I
(34:06):
thought was very interesting. But you you finally got milan.
You finally got milan. All right, yeah, next time, next hour,
Let's talk about where they go from here, and why
most people are bringing up Hillary. They still just want
to go somewhere from here. If these airplanes work today,
let's just go somewhere from Rory go home. I know
you miss Florida. Roy O'Neil reporting all week from the
(34:30):
convention as tired as I am. We're all in this together.
This is your Morning Show with Michael Hill showing on
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
Drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast two three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this stupid This is your Morning.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Show with Michael Gilchrum. Did I just sing the Beatles
Lonely People in a miss Piggy voice? Yes, yes, you did.
You see. I'm in and out of what feels like
I'm dreaming, but I'm really talking and it's really happening. Right,
You have I better wake up and watch what I
say this. You are sleep deprived. You have one one
(00:50):
more day. We have all lived done three hours sleep
this week, and somehow it all added up to deprivation.
Seven minutes after the hour on the Aaron streaming live
on your iHeartRadio app, this is your morning show. I'm
Michael del Jurnald. Thanks for waking up with us. I
said yesterday and it was pure discernment. It might have
been the day before today I mentioned I haven't slept anyway.
(01:13):
When Joe Biden announced he had COVID and got on
a plane and suspended his campaign appearances, my discernment was,
say goodbye to Joe Biden. That's it. This isn't going
back to Delaware because he has COVID for a third
time and be vaccinated three times. This is Joe Biden
getting ready to exit the stage, which made me think
(01:33):
quickly of I really don't have to be a prophet.
It's nineteen sixty eight. I remember saying two weeks ago.
You know what has me praying it's nineteen sixty eight
all over again, and we still have a convention to go.
We still have an assassination to go, and we still
have Biden to step down to go. Now we're down
(01:56):
to one a convention in Chicago as it was in
nineteen sixty eight. Yesterday just kind of gets you up
to speed. Former President Barack Obama told his allies made
sure it got leaked to the Washington Post. Remember keep
your eyes if you want to know what's really happening.
The ones leading the charge for this physical throwing out
(02:19):
of Joe Biden for the media is the Washington Post
in Axios. So the Washington Post of course, with its
big headline. Oh that's it.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I remember when Barack Obama was president. We used to
do a thing I'll never forget, one of the funniest.
Shannon Freeman is probably not listening right now. Shannon used
to always come over the house. And there was one
day her and her son wor at the house and
it was a really bad thunderstorm, and so we all
went out of the front porch to see, you know,
what was going on. Yeah, And so I started doing
(02:48):
something I used to do on the air at the time,
which was Barack Obama when he would say enough, and
we used to have this sound effect of a thundercloud,
you know, so I'd go enough. I was doing it live,
real thundered light and we were out there laughing. It's
a miracle we didn't get struck. But that was an
old Barack Obama. When he had enough, it was just enough.
(03:10):
He did that with global warming, He did that with
a lot of things, and that was supposed to just
make the debate end. That was it, that was over.
Oh all right, Well, then global warming isn't a debate. Anymore.
It's fact, all right, we gotta move on. He's had enough,
And apparently the proverbial you know enough happened over Joe Biden.
It really doesn't matter, you know, if Joe Biden's there,
are not there, Barack Obama's really under the Mask's Barack
(03:34):
under that man pulled the mask up. There's Barack. But
I guess Barack Obama finally chimed in. Obama has spoke
with Biden only once since the debate, and he has
been clear in his conversations with others that the future
of Biden's candidacy is a decision for the president alone.
Now it's suddenly being leaked that Barack Obama feels like
(03:56):
it's time from to step aside. That goes along with
personal calls to step out of the race by Nancy Pelosi,
Chuck Schumer, King, Jeffries others. The media continues to prosecute this.
So you know when I told you that my discernment
as Joe Biden walked off with his head down and
then walked slowly up the short steps of Air Force one,
(04:20):
even stopping two steps in for about eighteen seconds. If
you go back and launch, that was Joe Biden saying
goodbye to the presidency. Now, look, I can do talking
points right here, like Sean Hannaby, I consider and reel
down them all. You say, democracy, but now are you
going to race the vote to the people? Look, the
Democrats are still in a rough spot. I think if
(04:40):
you want to know what my next thought is, not
so fast on Kamala Harris. Joe Biden's getting his best
deal to step aside. He'll probably spend it, Jill will benefit,
and Hunter will benefit financially from whatever deal they're cutting
to step him aside. I don't know, it's probably going
(05:01):
to Kamala Harris. I mean that's a wise thing to
say on July nineteenth. I think they've got other surprises,
including you know, you got one of two ways to
play it. I think let's say it's Michelle Obama announce it,
Joe's out of the race, Michelle two days later announces
she's in, and then you have the slow build up
leading up to the convention, and then at the convention
(05:23):
you unify everything and even the odds for the general election.
Or you could just go with an open convention and
say Joe's not running, He's releasing his delegates. This is
not unprecedented. This is actually what used to be normal.
When John F. Kennedy went to the convention in nineteen sixty,
(05:47):
Bobby worked his butt off, going delegate to delegate. You
went into that convention hall and you had to win
people over. Now it's all done by the American people,
and they arrive and it's just a ceremony. They may
go that route. It's gonna be one of the two routes.
What is no longer in question. I was actually how
my breath. I thought he's gonna make the announcement right
(06:09):
in the middle of the convention, just to just destroy
Trump's last night. And there's gonna be some critics to
say Donald Trump did that well enough on his own.
But what we're gonna see now is probably between now
and Sunday, the Lyndon Johnson speech from the Oval office
that he will not seek the nomination for President of
(06:30):
the United States and release his delegates as only he can.
And then whether they go, we're gonna find out who
who their next puppet is. Let's put it that way.
Getting back to the last night, I would do it
in headline form. There was a great Trump speech last night?
(06:52):
Was it the wrong Trump? Here's son, Eric. You are strong, you.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Are full of life, and you are unapologetic. You're optimist.
Him is contagious. Your backbone is unbreakable. Your conviction to
fight for what is right and against all that is
wrong is truly next level.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Everybody has, you know, their gifting and their comfort zone.
I did an interview with Donald Trump Junior in studio,
so there was you know, and and then talk to
him during commercial breaks, and I remember telling my audience,
I'm a little this is back in the original run
(07:33):
against Hillary, and I'm like, wow, I got this sneaking
feeling the wrong Trump is running. That's how good he was.
But he wasn't that good doing a speech the other night.
And this I think is a comfort zone for Eric.
You know, you look at they parade the family around
and your first inclination is, well, the future of trump
(07:54):
Ism is Donald Trump Junior. Oh sounds like Eric. Last night,
Tucker Carlson talked about the difference between title and leadership
if effect that it had on Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
He was no longer just a political party's nominee or
a former president or a future president.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
This was the leader of a nation. Everything's going great,
and then Halkogan arrives.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
All you scumbags, all you trug dealers, and all you
crooked politicians need to answer one question, brother, what you're
gonna do when Donald Trump and all the trump of
maniacs run wild on you?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Brother? Uh? He did not. He did break character and
in his own voice, using his real name. He did
say that which I had never heard him say his
real name before, talked pretty straight about the situation.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Crime is out of control, the border is out of control,
the price of food and gas and housing is out
of control. And the only person who can clean this
up is Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
For a president Trump, yeah, this much. He didn't have
any choice. We have seen him, but we haven't heard
from him since he nearly lost his life. So you
knew you're gonna have to do that story, and you
either weave it into the speech or you do it separate.
They chose to do it up front, then begin a speech,
and then he kind of broke out into an hour
(09:25):
and a half rally and then closed to the speech.
But it was the first time that Donald Trump was
able to give a minute by minute detail of the
assassination attempt and what it was like to be the target.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
So many people have asked me what happened?
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Tell us what happened, please, And therefore I will tell
you exactly what happened, and you'll never hear it from
me a second time because it's actually too painful to tell.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
I heard a loud, whizzing sound and felt something hit
me really, really hard.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
On my right ear.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
I said to myself, Wow, what was that.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
It can only be a bullet. Former President Trump says
he can't wait to get back to the White House
and right rewrite all the wrongs.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Inflation has wiped out the life savings of our citizens
and forced the middle class into a state of depression
and despair. That's what it is. It's despair and depression.
We cannot and will not let this continue.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Trump said, I'll stop what he called the invasion at
our southern border. And I think.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Everybody, as a Republican, as a patriot in this room,
and most Democrats, we want people to come into our country,
but they have to come into our country legally.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Former President Trump displayed the very immigration data chart that
saved his life. I don't know, Jeffrey, my producers here,
there were a lot of funny moments. He was very,
very funny last night, and he's a very funny man.
He's charming. But this this by far was the favorite. Unfortunately,
this particular SoundBite cuts off before he starts. He had
(11:10):
libs some funny stuff after. But yeah, he finally showed
last night the chart that saved his life. Oh there
it is. That's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Wow, last time I put up that shot, I never
really got to look at it. Without that shot, I
would not be here.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I looked that he did turn and then I heard
something whizz. There's this perspective he gave with that chart. Yeah,
it was just hilarious. He was a riot. It was.
It was you know, there were really good moments, but
they were just you know, we have a big fight,
me and my daughter Alex over confetti cake. I just
don't get it. What it's just too much. But you know,
(11:53):
I mean, if you're I guess those flakes are in there.
They give it the you know whatever the confetti part
is that gives it the the sweetness flavor. They were
all in there, you know, just surrounded by a lot
of cake, So a lot of cake you had to
chew and search for him a little bit vetsaw. There
was a lot of talking about it. He would never
say Biden's name. He actually did slip say it once
(12:14):
and then he acknowledged that he slipped and said it
and said it twice, and then I think he threw
it a third. But you know, basically one time. But
they tried to address the current administration's failures. The current administration.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
We are indeed a nation in decline.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Trump promised to bring down inflation and the so called
illegal immigration crisis by closing the border, and he also
reiterated his claim that wars in Ukraine and Gaza would
have never happened if he was president. He dare not
say the name Biden until well, he felt like he
had to.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
What this administration did? Damage that this administration has done.
And I say it often. If you took the ten
worst presidents in the history of the United States, think
of it, the ten worst, added them up, they will
not have done the damage that Biden has done.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
It's not in these clips, but the president actually humbly
asked for everyone's vote, Republicans, Democrats, promised to be everybody's president.
The call to unity was there.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
We are one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and
justice for all.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
So Donald Trump wrapped up what was nearly two hours
in all the RNC convention. The balloons fell, the family celebrated,
and that's it. Donald Trump is your Republican nominee. And
who will he face? We don't know. The only thing
we do know is it's not going to be Joe Biden.
This is your morning show with Michael del Chuna. Love
(13:37):
to hear from you. We just simply can't have your
morning show if I'm doing all the talking, so bailing
us out. As Austin in the Lou, I love that city,
Saint Louis. I was just recently in Saint Louis last weekend.
That otch, what a big, beautiful utch. Love the lou
from the hill to the Yarch to Bush Stadium. To
Austin who had this comment, I just heard you say
(13:59):
that the clips today are doing hum a better service
than a long speech last night. And I'm thinking maybe
that's where a good amount of people are gonna see
all of this is through clips online and things that
have been cut out and grown down. Yeah, well, you
know you'll have a debate and there'll be forty million
(14:20):
people watch and then another twenty five thirty million we'll
see clips, and then another ten eight to ten million.
You know, we'll read stories about it. The further and
further you get away from experiencing it, the more and
more susceptible it is to people twisting it. So, you know,
(14:40):
I don't think CNN will be as kind in clips
are they actually cnmay they're trying to play this a
little bit more straight. MSNBC won't. That's always a dangerous thing.
But you know, listen, I'm not being hypercritical. I love
Donald Trump. I have prayed for Donald Trump for years
and I am still on my week long walking on
(15:05):
sunshine gratitude to God for protecting him. So you know,
I got a lot of grace, got a lot of mercy.
I don't know that I've done hul Cogan. I mean,
the first night was so extraordinary. The second night is
unmatchable and probably will never be matched again. That was
the most absolutely perfect, on point, every delivery. I can't
(15:29):
tell you any times hair and my arms were standing
up and on my neck. No one will ever match
that level. Now, the problem is, you just had a
great night and a never before level of greatness night
followed by a typical third night, which was a typical
kind of a convention night, and then last night hul
Cogan kid Rock and that entrance and then kissing the helmet,
and I don't know. I don't know this first impression,
(15:51):
last impression. I don't know if that was the strong finish.
It was a long finish after a long week. Shorter
probably would have been received better, but that's the style
he's comfortable with. There were a lot of laughs, and
if you go back in in two hours, you can
grab three seconds here, five seconds there, eight seconds there,
and it's all there. The hope, the unity. It may
(16:12):
have served better. You know, there's some people that are
going to were watching last night specifically to see if
he's a new man, and I think he is. But
he used a typical old style and that may cause
some people to think he hasn't changed. I would have
just strategically handled things differently. But you know what, I've
never been president of the United States. This guy one
in twenty sixteen when no one said he would won.
(16:34):
I think he would have won in twenty twenty if
not for COVID and changing of election laws and a
biased press. So you know Donald Trump knows best. I'm
sure quarterbacks. Somebody back, I'm a lot more successful than me. Hey,
it's me, Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
five to eight am Central, six to nine Eastern and
great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio, or Columbus, Georgia.
(16:56):
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
and we're grateful you're here. Now. Enjoy the podcast. Nancy
Pelosi is telling how Democrats President Biden is close to
being persuaded to exit. I'll give you a little noster
deel journo here. By the time you hear my voice
again on Monday, he will no longer be a candidate
for president of the United States. It's imminent. Meanwhile, Donald
(17:17):
Trump officially accepted the nomination. I asked for a lot
of your takes on it. Dave wrote, I'm happy Trump
is okay, but the GOP is making a huge mistake
by celebrating his survival and not mentioning the other victims.
I'll settle down, everybody, I'll handle this. First of all,
his entire firefighter's uniform and helmet was behind Donald Trump
(17:38):
the entire speech. Donald Trump has spoken to the family.
They have raised over six million dollars for the family,
not that that can replace their father and husband. There
is not a single speaker all week that ever brought
up the assassination attempt. It didn't pay tribute to the
two that were injured and the one who lost his life,
especially Donald Trump. And then just to show you that
(18:00):
everyone is different, Uh, this one basically just you know,
says are you kidding me? You you didn't like Hulk Hogan.
I loved it. I thought it was great, lighthearted because
it's okay to have fun sometimes. And he also touched
on how Trump is given, which is an excellent thing
(18:21):
that you have pointed out and a few others do.
But mostly it was just fun and common.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
M Yeah, I just compared you to the first first night, spectacular,
second night out of this world literally and will never
be duplicated, and that's what really led to the euro
By the way, the second night is probably would put
Joe Biden out of the race.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Third night was like a typical you know, convention night,
and then last night was just I don't know, I
don't know you finished with forward momentum, but you you
did eventually finish. Uh, and it was Remember the old
Aaron Rayels with this. Do you remember the old was
it pray Go co It's in there, Remember it's in there.
They would do that. Yeah, but I I want real
tomatoes and chunks, it's in there. I want real mushrooms
(19:04):
and gardic It's in there. It's in there. The Ray
Ragu commercial, or maybe it was pray Go I should know.
I'm pizza boy. Anyway, make a monster short. It was
all in there. The message of hope. I wanted it
to be unmistakable. This this simple. I wanted people to
see a changed Donald Trump from nearly losing his life,
refocused in leadership, refocused in determination, and refocused in humble
(19:27):
servant leadership. I think it's happened. People may disagree with me,
and I think it was there. He's got a lot
of old habits. He's just more comfortable with the rally
style and that's what made it two hours. But it
was all in there.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
To quote pray Go, I really think so, Michael, I
really do.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I really think he's change. Absolutely. I can see it
on his face. I can see it.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
What do you see? I'm curious.
Speaker 8 (19:48):
I'm not I'm not like rebudding this even I'm asking,
I'm genuinely curious, like what you see that makes you
think he.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Changed the only thing that you could possibly But first
of all, there are people that would argue with you, Aaron,
that he didn't need to change. She's cast people's minds
a certain way. He's always been a family man. He's
always been funny, he's always been loving, and he's always
carried about more than others in himself. I think he
has come across egotistical a lot and prideful a lot.
(20:14):
But no, you can just look in a man's eye
who came that close to dying. I think he has
a different focus of God and American people who have
prayed for him that ended up protecting him. He knows
he has a second chance to life and wants to
make it work. He seems to be way more focused
on us than his opponents. I saw a lot of change.
(20:35):
I just think he's got the habits of he prefers
that long delivery, and then his sarcasm and humor leads
him down similar roads. He got drill baby drill in
China virus and even laughed when he said it because
he knows it's become kind of a caricature of himself.
So I see a change man. But it takes a
while for old habits to go away. And the old
habit led to a very long speech, but everything about
(20:56):
hope not despair, everything about unity, everything. He smoke directly
to people who don't like him, directly to people who
didn't vote for him, and said, whether you vote for
me or not, I'm going to be your president and
I'm gonna make America great again. And he did something
never did in eight years. He humbly looked the camera
in the eye and he humbly asked people for their vote.
That's a different man. Sorry, I'll fight that one to
(21:19):
the death. But a lot of old habits came out
last night.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
Yeah, listen, I'm taking the other side of that bet.
And for the people that loved him and said he
didn't need to change one one iota, I think you
get exactly what you want, right, listen. Like Trump is
a special breed, and I will absolutely give him credit
when it's due. For sure, he has done some and
you never really know which way he's going to go,
which is kind of like what makes it exciting and
(21:43):
lying at the same time, Like I'm always like I
wouldn't be surprised to be like brought in Hillary Clinton
at some point, like you just don't know.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
You genuinely don't know his direction. And that's a good
and bad thing.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
But I think he's the type who could survive and
assassination attempt and be like same, like it's another day
on the job.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Yeah, he looks different. And I saw the somebody did
a film with him talking earlier. It was the first
time we heard his voice since the assassination attempt, and
it was all about God and all about the providence
of God, and it was a very humble He knows
if he doesn't turn to look at that, he's gone.
That's going to change. Anybody to suggest that that can't
change Donald Trump is no, He's I think he's definitely changed.
(22:27):
There are things about him that are not going to change.
Our friends are going to know their friends, our enemies
are going to know their enemies. He's not going to
take anything from anybody. He's going to focus on the boarder,
he's going to focus on the economy. He's going to
focus on oil and energy, and he's not going to
fall for any COVID nonsense a second time. So You're
right that some people shouldn't want him to change, and
that part hasn't changed, which kind of brings us to
(22:48):
our focus, which is what can China expect if Donald Trump. Well,
he basically addressed that last night.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
Yeah, nothing good for China, that's for sure.
Speaker 8 (22:57):
He plans sixty percent on Chinese goods, major downside growth
risks for China, but not that you know, the global
risks to the global economy or what's more profound. But
I also think, and this is very important, he put
tariffs on China in twenty eighteen, Biden kept those in place.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
Biden has not moved those.
Speaker 8 (23:16):
Vance said in his first televised interview that China is
our biggest adversary, in our biggest threat, and.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
This is not going to bode well. However, some experts
believe that China.
Speaker 8 (23:27):
Is more likely to have positive trade outcomes under Trump presidency.
And that's because we all know Trump is the deal maker.
He is like any negotiator, liking to set the barlow,
and then he sets the price low, and then he
works up from there. So it's very possible that that's
sixty percent tariff is a starting bargaining point. It's intense
and it might not end up there, but it's something
(23:48):
to get them to the table and to have them
listen up.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Now there were three things he addressed. Now you go
back to Clindra, which and this is all in the
global Warming initiatives, because that's always been a center of
global warming, which is if you go back and study
its origins and Agenda twenty one, it was about redistributional well,
from rich nations to poor nations, eliminating economic and military superpowers,
get on a level playing field for the purposes of
(24:12):
global governance. Now, whether or not fear of global warming
is the trigger, I will tell you this. When it
came to solar, which was the push of Barack Obama
and led to Cylindra, and what made it stupid was
people don't stay in homes long enough for solar to
make sense the investment and gets your return on the investment.
And oh, by the way, if you try to compete
in the solar world, or you push the solar world,
it's a win for China. They're the ones that own
(24:34):
the marketplace on providing these kinds of technologies. Then you
got the regular technologies and the chips, and then they're
on the forefront of that, and then the EV, which
is what I really We're in a short segment. I'm rushing,
but the EV is the big part. They're opening up.
They're building them right now, manufacturing plants for very cheap
Chinese EV vehicles. So if America leads the way to
(24:54):
EV and anti gas vehicles, guess what, they're right across
the border ready to capitalize on that. He talked about
how he would block that. Oh, there's there's no question
China didn't like Donald Trump. Some might even conclude that's
why the virus did away with Donald Trump. And I
don't think they like what he represents in a second
first term either, and looks like Aron would like to
(25:15):
take him out in a fatoa. But China can't be
chomping at the bit wanting Donald Trump back.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
No, no, absolutely not. And listen, we'll see how this
plays out. Again. You never really know.
Speaker 8 (25:26):
This could be for the best, and we don't know
that the sixty percent is a hard line. We do
know that if you look at VANCE and you look
at Trump and their position on China, it is our
biggest adversary by far, and that is not going to
bode well.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
For them.
Speaker 8 (25:40):
Will it bode well for us and the policies that
are implemented is a bigger question.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
You also brought up pillary Clinton. By the way, two
seconds you need to go. You also brought pillary Clint.
Everybody talks about Michelle Obama or Kamala Harris or a
wild Wild West Open Convention nineteen sixty eight style in Chicago.
In thirty two days, nobody's brought up Hillary Clinton. Could
she come out of the bullpen? Wow? Wow, that would
(26:05):
make things very interesting. Fast Aaron, you have a great weekend.
I know it's been a long week. Great reporting.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I'm a and no mouths.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
It's Marna Tennessee and my morning show.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
It's your morning show, Michael Dale journal. I asked for
your guys take, and we're getting it, Rick, writes Michael
di Atiheartmedia dot Com. It was fun but a missed
opportunity to tie the Democrat Party's worldview to the failed
policy views that have created the failed consequence. They must
focus on the party, not Biden, as Joe will not
(26:38):
be their nominee. Well, I think that was there, and
that was the purpose of not mentioning his name, and
certainly whoever they go to. That will be the strategy
to connect that dots, and they have time they I
think the one thing they know is they're not going
to be facing Joe Biden. But are they going to
be facing Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama, one of the governors
from New York or Michigan or California, and then that
(26:59):
will become their strategy. I think it was a missed
opportunity to clearly, unmistakably not talk to the floor, not
talk to Republicans. You got those votes, finished the job,
and that was woven throughout the entire week. It's okay
to hate me, but love what I can do for you.
It's ok to not like me but feel comfortable to
(27:22):
vote for me and to address a worldview and a
policy view of a party that has failed them terribly
and unmistakably. You know what your life was four years ago,
you know what it is today. Come on, let's put
all these narratives and stereotypes aside. Let's unite. Like I said,
(27:43):
it was all in there, just spread out over a
long period of time, So it was more of a
rally than it was an acceptance speech. It was a
long week. I just kind of do it this way.
Night one was spectacular. Night two was at such a
level that has never happened and probably will never happen again.
(28:05):
Night three was kind of a typical convention night, a
lot of ick, a lot of cheesy, a lot of
I give what you're trying to do there, I didn't
quite pull it off kind of thing. And then last night,
I don't know that it finished strong compared to Night
one and Night two, which I guess is the age
old debate what's better a first impression or a last impression.
(28:25):
But I think if you go back in sound bite form,
all those messages were there. It was just done over
a long style rally, style that much of Donald Trump
hasn't changed. And that's how I viewed it watching on
television Royo and you, of course, as in Milwaukee covering
the convention all week, everybody didn't seem to lose energy,
and nobody left the building even though it was long.
(28:45):
What was your take?
Speaker 9 (28:47):
Yeah, and by the way, the delegates really can't leave
because they're on buses, so they have to you know,
there's that Well, look, we were all in rapt attention
that first fifteen to twenty minutes when he told what
happened on Saturday and gave his version of events, saying
he won't talk about the assassination attempt ever again. But
then when he started doing the hey, thanks Lee Greenwood,
(29:10):
you had a great hit, but I made it better.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
And thanks Kid Rock.
Speaker 9 (29:13):
You know there was so much testosterone poured out on
the stage before Donald Trump arrived with Kid Rock, Hulk Hogan,
Dana White. And then I think Donald Trump showed up
with what he would have called Jeb Bush low energy.
Jeb I think there was, but considering the story he
was telling, that was somewhat appropriate. But then to have
that same low energy I think carry across for ninety
(29:35):
minutes for a convention crowd that was just tired. They
want to go home, they want to see the balloons drop,
and they want to get back to their own beds.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
I told this analogy from a science of comedy. I
will tell you this well. Rory knows this from a
news perspective. If you're going to start talking about a
story that's a week old, you better have something really
unique and new to say about it, because it's a
week old. In comedy, the longer the setup, the funnier
the burden is for the joke to be funny. The
(30:07):
shorter the setup is, the more funny it can be,
and the less burden there is on a funny punchline.
So there are great storytellers and they tell long jokes,
but you've got to be really gifted to do that,
and so that's the risk. That's the risk. Yeah, Bob Newhart,
who were All Morning, his death at the age of
ninety four, was a classic at that. They'll cause me
quite frankly, it was very good at that. But no,
(30:29):
to make a long story short, and it is a
long week, I just think had he come out and
stuck to script, but I don't think he's comfortable reading
a script. Even when he would go in and out
of rally and speech, you could tell the speech was
he's just uncomfortable reading a speech.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
It just doesn't feel authentic to him. No, he's not
great on a prompter, that's not his strong suit. But
he's great at picking the message and crafting it to
the crowd. But in this case, just too long. Look,
the Gettysburg address was two hundred and seventy two words
and took two minutes. There was a guy named Everett
who spoke before Abe Lincoln, who spoke for two hours.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Oh wow, I didn't know that. Yeah, well yeah, Everett,
Massachusetts is what the town is named for him. But
you just like, yeah, well you didn't know that.
Speaker 9 (31:14):
You don't remember the guy who spoked for two hours,
but you remember the guy who spoke for two minutes.
And you know, you should be just as concise as
you can, especially in this kind of a setting, because
he really didn't have to do much. The bar is
pretty low. You're surging in the polls, even in the
swing states. You really he just has to coast at
this point, and while the other team is imploding.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Well, I think, in fact, I think maybe we'll spend
our second visit solely on that what's next, because I
don't think Joe Biden will be a candidate for president
by the time we talk again on Monday, and where
they go next. But just to conclude on that, I
think it was all in there, but it was spread
out over a long period of time. I wanted to
see him not talk to the people in that room.
I wanted to see him not talk to me. He's
(31:58):
got my vote. I wanted him to talk to everybody
who voted against him. He did it. It was in there.
He talked about how he'll be their president. He talked
about if you don't like me, or if you're believing
all these stereotypes about me, it's still okay to want
the America. But it was this spread out, so long.
I will say this. When he did do the teleprompter
screen and then when he started joking around about I
(32:19):
didn't really get to see it the first time. I mean,
there was some great humor mixed in throughout, but it
was it was very, very long, and I don't know.
I think people at a shallow glance will say, that's
the same old Donald Trump.
Speaker 9 (32:32):
That's the risky run, right right, And I think everyone too.
And when he started doing the you know, Lee Greenwood,
thanks to you and thanks to this guy and that guy,
and thanks to you. I think everyone's everybody.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Who that one made laugh? Did you remember what he did?
The Baron line? How I got it? But I don't
think Baron was there last night. No, he was not.
But Malanya, who you've been waiting all week long. She
is stunning, isn't she? She is her face during kid Rock.
I mean, what a moment. You know what I genuinely
believe Donald Trump loves kid Rock and then loves opera
(33:04):
right side by side. But weird, Well, there was there
was Hull Cogan, there was kid Rock Wedge, you know,
and then you had you know, pro his golf his
golf pro and then Tucker with wrinkled pants, even though
he had great things to say. Uh. I I can't
believe I would think the left would pick on this
(33:25):
the wrong Trump had the great Knight and Eric Trump
blew away the rest of his family. You know, you
never see the one the right kid coming, do you.
I mean I thought Eric was terrific, blew away down
junior and maybe he's the junior ceded to his daughter
for the most part. Yeah, what do you mean? I
mean he let the daughter do most of the talking
(33:45):
the night before done well, yeah, and I would have
left it at her. I mean I would think that
probably Eric is the sister in law, his wife and
the granddaughter were the top three trumps of the week. Uh.
And then I always get the former wife mixed up
with the daughter. Evanna is the daughter, Evanka is the
mother right right? Yeah, and Evanna never spoke, which I
(34:06):
thought was very interesting. But you you finally got milan.
You finally got milan. All right, yeah, next time, next hour,
Let's talk about where they go from here, and why
most people are bringing up Hillary. They still just want
to go somewhere from here. If these airplanes work today,
let's just go somewhere from Rory go home. I know
you miss Florida. Roy O'Neil reporting all week from the
(34:30):
convention as tired as I am. We're all in this together.
