Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on
great radio stations across the country like one O five
nine twelve fifty WHNZ and Tampa, Florida, News Radio five
seventy WKBN and Youngstown, Ohio and News Radio one thousand
KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you listen to
us live in the morning, and of course we're so
grateful you came for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Enjoy starting your morning off right, a new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell John.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Alarm clock's going off everywhere in the Central time zone
in the East Coast, they're finishing up their coffee and
making their way to work. Thanks for waking up with
your morning show and making us a part of your
daily morning routine. It is seven minutes after the hour
on the airon streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. I
am Michael del Jorno. We can't really revisit the entire
(00:58):
process that we just did, but for those that were
up or if you have gone to the podcast and
listened to the five o'clock hour, when you break down
the entire events of yesterday and then you hear a newscast.
Do you see how the game is played? So yesterday,
(01:18):
Donald Trump a long time ago, actually accepts an invitation
to the National Association of Black Journalist convention in Chicago.
By the time he gets there, Joe Biden's not even
in the race. Kamala Harris is supposed to be there,
but she's too busy. She's going to zoom it in.
But then they don't accept that. Boy, it pays the
way for a perfect ambush. Here's Donald Trump leading in
(01:42):
all the swing states, survives an assassination attack, survives many
lawfare attacks, and not only is he leading in the polls,
he's penetrated about twenty percent of the black vote. Mission
Number one is get that back for Kamala Harris. The
ambush is said. Donald Trump doesn't even bring up Kamala Harris,
(02:06):
let alone her bloodline, let alone what she identifies. As
they attack him. Based on what others have said, he
gives a flawless answer. If he'd had just unclipped his
mic and walked off, it would have been another thwarted
assassination attempt. But then later he kind of addresses it. Honestly,
(02:26):
remember the most compelling piece of audio that we can
play is Karine Jean Pierre at the White House. So
the reporter restates the whole thing as it just had
happened and asked her for her response. It sounded like.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
He is a candidate, So I'm going to be super careful.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Wait no, no, no, hold on, hold on.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
I have more to say.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I certainly have more to say.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
As a person of color, as a black woman who.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Not sure that's relevant to go ahead?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Is in this position that is standing before you.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Could you describe the rest of the room, please.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
At this podium, behind this lectern.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
What he just said, what you just read out to
me is repulsive.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
It's insulting, repulsive, insulting.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
And you know, no one has any right to tell
someone who they are, how they identify.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
No one has the right to tell them who they
are or how they identify. Do you see what this
is really about. It really doesn't matter what she is
in their worldview. It only matters what she could identify
as a Budweiser Clydesdale and it's her right and anybody
that questions it would be disgusting and repulsive. Which in
(03:41):
the second answer that Donald Trump gave That probably wasn't
his greatest answer. He's just playing their game. She identified
as Indian for the longest time, and we played a
bunch of clips that were all viral yesterday on social media.
Whether she's being introduced by an Indian proclaiming her the
first Indian United States Senator and what an accomplishment that
(04:05):
is for Indian Americans, or whether it's on a cooking
show with another Indian. She seemed to only ever publicly
identify as Indian. Now she gets that from her mother, Shyamala.
I get it, but what about her Jamaican father? And
then some people say, well, she's not even black, she's
Jamaican and Indian. Well, but Jamaicans are seventy six point
(04:27):
three percent African descent, so this isn't like Barack Obama.
She's more Indian than anything. Yes, and that seemed to
be what she identified as, which was Trump was trying
to say. I'd have a lot of personal contact with her,
but she seemed always identify as an Indian. Now, all
of a sudden, she's black. So if she's black, she's black.
But what are the headlines today the Associated press? Donald
(04:47):
Trump falsely suggests Kamala Harris misled voters. Washington Post. Trump
attacks Harris's black identity. He didn't do anything. He sat down.
This woman just started railing on him. He told her
how rude she was. His first long answer is everything
he's done for Black Americans a laundry list. Nobody in
the Democrat Party could reel off, and the crowd was
(05:10):
loving it. But this is an attempt to turn black
journalists against Donald Trump for the purposes of them in
their work between now and November to convert black voters
back to the Democrat Party. Will it work? That's up
to black voters. They control the narrative and look what
(05:34):
they've twisted it into. But here's the catch. When Barack
Obama was in office, this is what really made me
hate what I did for a living. Barack Obama could
charmingly and eloquently tell a lie in two seconds that
took me an hour of my radio show to explain
(05:55):
and proves a lie. Do you know anytime a guy
can walk around in two seconds and set off all
these bombs and keep everybody else busy, you can do
a lot of things while they're busy putting out that fire.
It's very diversionary. Part of me wants to look you
in the eye and say, look if yesterday and today
all we're talking about is defending Donald Trump's comments at
(06:17):
the NABJ. They win because you're not focused on fentanyl.
You're not focused on the invasion border and Kamala's role
in it, or your stagnant wages, or the high inflation
or the high interest rates, or the national debt or
your personal debt, or your kids being locked out of
the dream of home ownership. They win, and they control
(06:41):
the narrative. You know, I bring that up show after
show after show, and I think it just becomes like
wallpaper to you. You know how powerful that is. They
got the prettiest faces, the most handsome faces, the best writers,
the best directors, the best cameras, the best script writers.
Why they create the fantasy that you and nic kid
men marvel at when you go to the theater and
(07:03):
they're creating a daily with this, Will you focus on
this nonsense instead of your reality? Now that brings us
to the topic of the day, which is the wave illusion.
They're creating this illusion of a wave. I have one
very very liberal relative and her big meme yesterday is
(07:23):
this giant like picture, this really big Hawaiian wave, you know,
the kind of thing that got admit that would be
cool to be a surfer and be inside one of those.
As you know, I can't swim, so it wouldn't be
that cool, be very very scary, but you know, one
of those big giant waves. And then there's a little
Donald Trump and it says we're gonna need a bigger umbrella.
(07:46):
It's a meme. Anybody can draw it. It's an illusion.
They can try to prove it, but there is a reality.
So they're trying to create the reality that all of
this sudden, the most unpopular vice president in history, who
has botched her greatest task, the border, is the savior
with all the momentum. I don't know if they can
(08:11):
get you to believe it. I was watching this video
one mind control actually, and it was an old experiment
that the CIA used to do, and they'd have seventeen
CIA agents in a room and then one real person
(08:34):
and they would hold up a picture and the one
real person didn't know the other seventeen were CIA agents.
They'd hold up a triangle picture of a triangle, and
the first they'd say, what is this The first agent
would answer it's a square, second square, sixteen later square.
Then they would get to the one real person and
(08:56):
they know they're looking at a triangle, but everybody said square,
and they don't want to be the weirdo that said
triangle and be wrong, so they say and more times
than not they say square, even though it's clearly a triangle.
These things work if given enough time. All it takes
(09:17):
is you to abandon the obvious, abandon truth, and you're susceptible.
So if they can get you to focus on these
things instead of you, they can pull it off. But
it's not real. It's an illusion. So Catherine sent me
this great article and it's in town Hall. Jeffrey was
(09:40):
the first to say, yesterday, you know, all of a sudden,
you couldn't get more than fifty people to show up
at a Joe Biden rally.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Or anything.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Kamala Harris was doing. Now, all of a sudden, the
exact same Kamala Harris. There's ten thousand people in Atlanta.
They're paying them. They got two million dollars they're paying them,
and of course they are, but this takes it to
a different level. On Harris's TikTok account, initially used to
make President Biden appear more relatable, it's now flush with
(10:09):
memes trying to make Harris seem cool. Seeing and commentator
Van Jones pointed this out, saying, Harris is gone from
cringe to cool. Well, that's the narrative wave, but is
it a reality? Is she really considered cool? Well? Did
the CIA analogy more and more probably sayan square? She's cool?
(10:33):
And an even more desperate attempt to gain the votes
of the younger generation, social media influencers are reportedly being
offered money in exchange for posting content that makes the
presumptive Democratic presidential nominee seem more appealing. Comedian Stephen McGrew
(10:54):
shared an email he received from a company called Launch
Viral offering a paid post collaboration opportunity to support Harris.
It even comes with one hundred and fifty dollars cash
bonus as an incentive. In the email, the company pitch
it includes posting a meme from its pre approved list
(11:17):
to TikTok. The influencer is required to tag and mention
at Kamala Harris or Harris twenty twenty four Twitch mcgrew's
like they're trying to get me to be a paid
shill for Kamala. They're paying people to pretend to support Kamala.
(11:46):
How did whether it's a rally? I mean, even your
social media never mind, journalism is dead never I mean
I just showed you in an hour long lesson everything
that I mean. We went into Donald's bloodline, not Trump,
Paris Chyamala's bloodline, the bloodline of Jamaicans, what she really is,
(12:12):
But it doesn't matter because is Caarine. Jean Pierre made
clear from the White House. How dare anybody judge how
anybody chooses to identify and of course that can change
day to day, which is all Donald Trump said, But
today he's a racist for saying it. That was an
ambush at a black journalist's confession, which he handled flawlessly
(12:36):
until that one comment that technically is correct, but they
have twisted around. That's how they controlled the narrative. But
the question is is this wave real? Is she suddenly
the savior of presidential candidates? Or is it being bought
and paid for to give you the perception that you'll
(12:57):
go along with. Only time will tell. We even got
a poll today that shows.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
She's suddenly leading in every swing.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
State a Bloomberg pole. Is it real? If it is
good for them? Why they wait so long? If it's not,
it's just an illusion, the wave illusion.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
This is your morning show with Michael del Jono.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Jeffrey Lyon is our producer. You're a great producer, Well,
thank you. One of the best I've ever well, hands
down the best I've ever worked with in my life.
But you're a terrible friend. You're delighting. I got one
gnat over here in my studio. Oh that's eating me alive,
bite by bite, and I can't get him, and you're
like enjoying it. That is why we should have subscription
(13:44):
service so people can see what you do on a
daily basis. And then the real hell that is my
life is he can see the gnat in the lighting
better than I can see it, Like in front of me.
It looks like a floater almost, and I keep missing him,
and then Jeffrey's going, He's to your left left.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I'm being terrorized by a tiny neat but still performing
at a very high level, I might.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Ask, well from Welcome to August, Thursday, August the first,
twenty twenty four, these are your top five stories up
to day if you're just waking up. Donald Trump attacked
by an ABC reporter at the Black Journalist Convention in Chicago.
Brian Shook as a road to the White House.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
Former President Trump clashed with reporters that the National Association
of Black Journalist's annual convention in Chicago Wednesday. Trump took
issue with ABC News congressional correspondent Rachel Scott's opening line
of questioning.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been
asked a question so in such a horrible manner.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
First question, love it.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
You don't even say hello, how are you?
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Are you with ABC?
Speaker 7 (14:48):
Because I think they're a fake news network.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
Scott asked Trump why black voters should trust him following
disparaging comments he's made about his political opponents in the past.
Trump called the introduction disgraceful and rude. In Washington, I'm
Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
As we all try to figure out what Kam was
identifying as Indian or black just to identify a vice
presidential running mate. We know it's going to be a
cat lover, single woman lover. Who might it be? Mark
Mayfield reports Harris.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Will hold her first rally with her new vice presidential
pick on Tuesday in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
The location suggests that she.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Could be choosing Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who is considered
to be on Harris's short list. The rally will kick
off a four day tour in key battle ground states
including Michigan, Arizona, and Wisconsin. Other potential running mates include
Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, Minnesota, Governor Tim Walls, and
Transportation Secretary Pete buddhad Edge. I'm Mark Mayfield, Buddhajic.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I know what you're thinking. Get through these morning meetings,
get to launch, have a great boreshead sandwich. It's gonna
be the highlight of your day.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Right, Not so fast.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Michael Kastner reports.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
That's an addition to one hundred three tons recalled last week.
At least thirty four people have gotten sick in thirteen states.
That includes two deaths. Signs of a listeria infection include fever, headache, nausea,
and muscle eggs. The recall includes seventy one products that
were made between May tenth and July twenty ninth, with
cell by dates ranging from July twenty ninth to October seventeenth.
(16:20):
I'm Michael Kassner.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
American slower Katie Ledecki won her record tying eighth gold medal.
That was the fifteen hundred meter freestyle, breaking her own
Olympic record in the process. Tory Husky added a third
medal in Paris, winning the silver for the women's one
hundred meter team. USA basketball still undefeated, they rolled past
South Sudan one to three to eighty six. The US
(16:41):
women's soccer team finished three to zero in their group play,
winning two to one over Australia. They'll face Japan in
the quarterfinals on Sunday. And today, well, it's a big
day for the women's gymnastics all around final. It'll take
place with Simone Biles and Suny Lee and the competition
US at thirty total medals atop the world, but Francis
closing in. They're only four behind now at twenty six.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
And we got football tonight.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
They're going to have the Hall of Fame game in
beautiful Rolling Hills of Caton, Ohio. It's gonna be those
Chicago Bears El Slavaca against the Houston Texans.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
HI.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
It's Michael Your Morning Show, airs live five to eight
AM Central, six to nine Eastern in great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
You'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happier here now. Enjoyed the podcast. There was
an old contemporary Christian song by Randy stone Hill in
the either late seventies or early eighties, and it was
(17:39):
called stop the World. I want to get off. This
is too weird for me. I think about that song
a lot. Yesterday I got off the air, my focus was, Okay,
they've since taken credit for it, but it was obvious
Israel went on to Iranian soil and took out a
(18:00):
Hamas leader who was there for a president's inauguration in
a guest house guarded by the Revolutionary Guard. So it's
both embarrassing and obviously Israel sending a message we realize
Hamas and Hesbelah are proxies of Iran, and we'll go
right on your soil and take out their leaders for
(18:20):
what they did on October seventh of last year. Then
by the time I got off the air, the Ayatola
is swearing revenge. She's plotting it even as we speak.
I mean, my eyes are on the Middle East War
expanding from a proxy war with Hesba and Hamas to
(18:41):
a direct war with Iran. Then, as I warned, don't
forget Iran. It's just a proxy of Russia and China
World War. Then I'm following the interest rates. I knew
they weren't going to lower them. They're still kinda you know,
you along that maybe a cut will come in September.
(19:02):
We'll have more on that with our money, was David
Bohnson later on. That's what I'm thinking about him. That's
what the focus should be. And then throughout the day
breaks out this nonsense that I gotta stop and go
and figure out what's going on with Donald Trump. Now
immediately I can identify it has to do with black vote,
(19:24):
and if they can close the black vote gap, they'll
close the gap in Michigan and Pennsylvania and they'll win
with Kamala Harris. So I go back and as I
watch it, we did it. Go to the podcast first hour.
You'll hear all the audio what really happened versus how
the news is reporting it. Look, they controlled the narrative,
and there were a lot of black journalists in that
room that will control the narrative to the black community
(19:46):
between now and November, and if they're like the Associated
Press in the Washington Post, they're going to make it.
Donald Trump attacked Harris over her race. None of that happened.
Takes an hour for me to play it for you,
but none of that happened. A black ABC reporter attacked
Donald Trump over what other people have said. Donald Trump
answered it long and directly, flawlessly, his love for the
(20:10):
Black Americans and what he's done for them, a laundry
list the Democrats could never do themselves. Then they start.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Twisting him on what she is. And even for the
longest time she identified as an Indian. Now I guess
she's identifying as a black.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I don't know what she is.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Donald Trump falsely suggests Kamala Harris misled voters about her race.
Donald Trump's a racist, attacks Harris's black identity. Harris responds,
America deserves better. He was a Donald Trump two point zero,
but they're going to play him to be a one
point oh. And that just kind of all adds to
this wave, this illusionary wave that she's invincible, she's inevitable,
(20:53):
but is it real Well to add to that wave,
We've documented how they're paying influencers on TikTok to act
like she's cool leaving Van Jones coined the phrase kam
is suddenly cool from Croydon to cool.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
But is it an illusion? Then we get the polling numbers.
This reported in the Hill, but it's actually I believe
a Bloomberg survey, Vice President Harris has a race Donald
Trump's lead in seven key battleground states, roughly a week
after becoming the likely Democratic Norway. You remember when all
(21:34):
the media was all in line, all in message to
destroy Joe Biden and to calm things down after a
failed assassination attempt on down True, Now they're all on
board and selling this wave. A Bloomberg News Morning Consult
poll showed Harris and Trump in a tight race across
(21:55):
the battleground states, with forty eight percent backing Harris and
forty seven percent sent backing Trump. What's the first thing?
What have you see? These? Pull? First thing? Jump out?
Are these registered voters? Are these likely voters? Are these anybody?
Does it include third party candidates? Of course it doesn't.
(22:19):
The breakdown among individual stage shows each candidate leading comfortably
in one swing state, with the others closely contested. It's
a notable shift from earlier in July, when Trump led
Biden overall by two percentage points. Okay, not feeling so
(22:40):
much like a wave anymore. Trump leads Harris by four
in Pennsylvania. That could change with Shapiro being announced on Tuesday.
I'll grant them that. And Trump leads in North Carolina
by two. The candidates were tied in Georgia at forty seven.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Do we.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
You remember that CIA analogy I gave and if you
missed it, there's the podcast. But you have all the Hollywood,
you have, all of the mainstream media, you have all
you know, they're all creating this feeling of a wave
or some buying it? Are we just excluding third party candidates?
By the way, after the nonsense of yesterday and after
(23:30):
the nonsense probably to come at the convention, RFK may
actually grow. I got an interesting email from RFK by
the way, just in case you haven't been following it.
Because if he can't get on the ballots, he can't
be a factor. Then once he's on the ballots, what
(23:52):
will his factoring be? Will he be a spoiler that
benefits Donald Trump? The Ross Perot effect can you ask
you win a few states and keep either from getting
to two hundred and seventy, Well, you got to be
on a lot of states. Yesterday, the campaign announced it
has collected the required signatures in eight more states, meaning
(24:15):
RFK will be on the ballot now in Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Massachusetts, Montana,
North Dakota, Vermont, and Virginia. All signatures have been validated
by the campaign's independent ballot access validation firm, confirming Kennedy
has more than enough signatures to achieve ballot access in
each of those states that gets added. Two days ago,
(24:39):
they added Connecticut, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Missouri, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
and West Virginia in total, because we're already on in California, Delaware, Hawaiian, Michigan, Minnesota,
New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah, Alaska, Indiana, Nebraska,
(25:01):
and then the campaign submitted signatures, so they're going to
have enough they need to be verified for West Virginia, Washington, Texas, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Ohio,
New York, New Jersey, Nevada, Missouri, Maine, Louisiana, Iowa, Illinois, Idaho, Georgia, Connecticut,
and Colorado. In all, he's at forty two states and
(25:22):
with half of the country identifying is independent, and with
four hundred and eight electoral votes up for grabs. Look
if it goes crazy town either with the left trying
to create a wave, trying to do what they did
in twenty twenty with Mama Lakamala, use the mainstream media
(25:45):
to create the narrative, try to block any opposing views,
which they can't do as easily because X is now
owned by Musk, And in the end America gets frustrated
with both of them. Could RFK do well enough to
keep either from getting to two seventy Can he remain
(26:07):
where he's at nine depending on the poll twelve percent
and be enough to give Donald Trump some swing states
he's going to be a factor. And he's on forty
two ballots now officially, and he's got time to get
the other seven to boot. But that's enough to be
a factor. Point of the segment, the wave illusion is
(26:34):
in full effect. But somewhere there's a reality, and the
reality is things haven't moved that much in the polls.
And that's even when you keep OURFK out of the poll,
which he'll be in on election day. Wave illusion versus reality,
(26:58):
that's really the storyline, and this shadow campaign to save
the democracy.
Speaker 7 (27:05):
This is your favorite President's forty five, soon to be
forty seven.
Speaker 8 (27:10):
And my morning show is your morning show with a
guy I like to call beacher Boy.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
It's not Delivery, it's del Journal.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
This is your morning show. I am Michael del Jorno
on the air and streaming live on your iHeart app.
And welcome to August. I don't know where July went.
It's gonna be a hot one too, not just today,
all month long. It is Thursday, August the first, twenty
twenty four. Former President Donald Trump says he will go
back to the city of his attempted assassination. Meanwhile, Vice
President Kamala Harris is hitting back at the former president
(27:40):
after he questioned her heritage earlier in the day. That's
a little twist on what actually happened. And the Federal
Reserve is leaving interest rates unchanged in about thirteen minutes
from now, we'll visit with our money. Was David bonson
on that and when you can expect interest rate cuts
to come and how it affects us all when they don't,
and when they do. The US military says it carried
out airstrikes in a rock against a base used by
(28:02):
an Iranian aligned militia.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
US leads the world with.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Thirty medals, but the home nation host nation France, has
closed the gap to just four. And football's back tonight.
We kind of all just lived for football season, right.
Everything else is just kind of a stall to get
the football season. Whether it's conventions for politics, Olympics.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Baseball in between, golf.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
In between, We're all really living for football. Houston Texans
Chicago Bears Hall of Fame game tonight on ABC eight Eastern.
Don't miss it all right, Rory O'Neil is joining US.
Donald Trump spoke at the National Association of Black Journalists
yesterday and Kamala could not make it. Her schedule was
just too busy. She was going to try to zoom
(28:46):
it in, but they didn't accept that. And then from there, well,
aggression assued. Good morning, Rory, yeah.
Speaker 8 (28:54):
Good morning. And then things started a half hour late.
And the first question out of the box was aggressive
ambush never got right. Yeah, well, you know, and again
if you look at that question, the question was why
should black people vote.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
For you, and he answered it, well, right, But the problem.
Speaker 8 (29:15):
Is, like, but the first part of the question, she
went on like five inflammatory statements, and you're like, yeah,
she brought out a sledgehammer when a scalpel was required.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Right, had she just said that? To what she answered?
It's funny. I can't redo all that because don't want
to take up our time for those that are listening
right now. You know the beginning she kind of does
like a Megan Kelly.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
You have shold four congressmen women of color who were
American citizens to go back to where they came from.
You have used words like animal and rabbit to describe
black district attorneys. You've attacked black journalists, calling them a loser,
saying the questions that they ask are quote stupid and racist.
You've had dinner with a white supremacist at your Mariologue resort.
(29:56):
So my question, sir, now that you are asking black
support to vote for you, why should black voters trust
you after you have used language like that.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been
asked a question so in such a horrible manner.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
A first question, I mean, and the crowd loved it.
And by the way, he does give a long list
of not only his love for Black Americans, but what
he's done for them ilicit. Not a lot of candidates
could reel off. So he did answer her question. But
as you said, it's the way the question was asked.
It sure felt like an ambush. It'd be interesting to
(30:34):
see how it plays rory, because you know the media
will spend like the headline this morning in the Associated Press,
Trump falsely suggests Harris misled voters about a race. Washington Post,
Trump attacks Harris's black identity. And he didn't do anything.
He just showed up and he was on time. The
others were late and Kamala didn't show. He got attacked.
He answered the question, but then later in the dissect
(30:55):
basically said she identified as an Indian, but now she's
identifying a black. I don't know what she is. And
then that's what they're taking and running. So I guess
in that sense, the question becomes all the black reporters
in that room who will be reaching black voters between
now and November, did this change their view? That's what
time would tell.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
Or does it motivate you differently just to say, well,
you know, I thought I might but now I'm going
to stay home. I mean, because let's face it, it was
now that a mixed race woman is likely to be
the Democratic nominee. I mean, that's going to change a
lot of the map that was coming up anyway, regardless
of whether or not Donald Trump is starting to draw
in more minority support.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
You know, you and I got off the air yesterday.
You know what, I was focused on a proxy war
that's about to be a direct war with Iran and Israel,
which is a proxy war with Russia and China. That's
where my mind was and interest rates, and then all
this broke up. So I start doing my research, and
I start studying Donald Harris, Stanford, Professor Emeritis. He's of
Jamaican descent. He's a Jamaican American. Now, Jamaicans are by
(31:58):
blood seventy six point three percent of African descent. Ninety
two percent of them identify as black. So she is
half ninety two percent of half black. And then her mother,
Shayamala is India Indian and a scientist, a biomedical scientist. UH,
very impressive people. So she's half Indian. And then she's
(32:20):
half black, we'll say loosely. But then virally on social media.
All they is clips of her identifying as an Indian
and then when you get Karine Jean Pierre's response, how
dare anybody question how someone chooses to identify? So what
is she or what she identifies as is where the
hair splitting comes. But it's all nonsensical compared to the
(32:41):
things that were really facing right.
Speaker 8 (32:44):
I always love the Barack Obama response to you know,
because of he's of mixed race heritage and who just say,
you know, you know, I know I'm black when I'm
trying to hail a cab on the seat, that potentially
how he looked at it.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Well, yeah, I mean, you know, but it's just all,
you know, compared to the border crisis, fentinyl deaths, the
debt for the nation, our debt, interest rates, stagnant wages.
It just goes to show, though that their first order
of business is to try to firm up that black vote,
especially for swing states.
Speaker 8 (33:16):
Right right, because it's vulnerable, or it had been more
vulnerable than it has been in a long time. So yeah,
it's a factor that go around. Plus, by the way,
we can talk about the terrorist plea deal, the fact
that the hostages are being released about that. You know,
that's pretty big out of Russia. So it's a lot
(33:36):
of breaking developers this week, a lot of breaking.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
We're getting off to a bang, not a whimper in August.
And then obviously, you know, we've got all the cities
planned and they're targeting swing states as you would expect.
But Tuesday, when it's anticipated Kamala Harris will announce her
running mate, she just so happens to be. Yeah. So
I mean, does that make Shapiro just kind of like
the obvious pick? I think so, yeah, Roy O'Neil, great reporting,
(34:02):
appreciate it all right. When we come back, we're going
to visit with David Bonnson on the interest rates. They're
going to hold steady, but will they ever be cut?
Indications are maybe as soon as September. We'll talk to
our money. Was David Boonson about that? John Decker with
more on the BEEP selection, and then Rory's going to
be back next hour as well to talk about the
Middle East and Israeli forces. Israel has taken credit for
taking out on Iranian soil that hamas leader. Meanwhile, the
(34:27):
Ayahtola is strategizing revenge even as we speak, we get
the latest on that with Rory as well.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
with Mike openheld show enough
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on
great radio stations across the country like one O five
nine twelve fifty WHNZ and Tampa, Florida, News Radio five
seventy WKBN and Youngstown, Ohio and News Radio one thousand
KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you listen to
us live in the morning, and of course we're so
grateful you came for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Enjoy starting your morning off right, a new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell John.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Alarm clock's going off everywhere in the Central time zone
in the East Coast, they're finishing up their coffee and
making their way to work. Thanks for waking up with
your morning show and making us a part of your
daily morning routine. It is seven minutes after the hour
on the airon streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. I
am Michael del Jorno. We can't really revisit the entire
(00:58):
process that we just did, but for those that were
up or if you have gone to the podcast and
listened to the five o'clock hour, when you break down
the entire events of yesterday and then you hear a newscast.
Do you see how the game is played? So yesterday,
(01:18):
Donald Trump a long time ago, actually accepts an invitation
to the National Association of Black Journalist convention in Chicago.
By the time he gets there, Joe Biden's not even
in the race. Kamala Harris is supposed to be there,
but she's too busy. She's going to zoom it in.
But then they don't accept that. Boy, it pays the
way for a perfect ambush. Here's Donald Trump leading in
(01:42):
all the swing states, survives an assassination attack, survives many
lawfare attacks, and not only is he leading in the polls,
he's penetrated about twenty percent of the black vote. Mission
Number one is get that back for Kamala Harris. The
ambush is said. Donald Trump doesn't even bring up Kamala Harris,
(02:06):
let alone her bloodline, let alone what she identifies. As
they attack him. Based on what others have said, he
gives a flawless answer. If he'd had just unclipped his
mic and walked off, it would have been another thwarted
assassination attempt. But then later he kind of addresses it. Honestly,
(02:26):
remember the most compelling piece of audio that we can
play is Karine Jean Pierre at the White House. So
the reporter restates the whole thing as it just had
happened and asked her for her response. It sounded like.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
He is a candidate, So I'm going to be super careful.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Wait no, no, no, hold on, hold on.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
I have more to say.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I certainly have more to say.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
As a person of color, as a black woman who.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Not sure that's relevant to go ahead?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Is in this position that is standing before you.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Could you describe the rest of the room, please.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
At this podium, behind this lectern.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
What he just said, what you just read out to
me is repulsive.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
It's insulting, repulsive, insulting.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
And you know, no one has any right to tell
someone who they are, how they identify.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
No one has the right to tell them who they
are or how they identify. Do you see what this
is really about. It really doesn't matter what she is
in their worldview. It only matters what she could identify
as a Budweiser Clydesdale and it's her right and anybody
that questions it would be disgusting and repulsive. Which in
(03:41):
the second answer that Donald Trump gave That probably wasn't
his greatest answer. He's just playing their game. She identified
as Indian for the longest time, and we played a
bunch of clips that were all viral yesterday on social media.
Whether she's being introduced by an Indian proclaiming her the
first Indian United States Senator and what an accomplishment that
(04:05):
is for Indian Americans, or whether it's on a cooking
show with another Indian. She seemed to only ever publicly
identify as Indian. Now she gets that from her mother, Shyamala.
I get it, but what about her Jamaican father? And
then some people say, well, she's not even black, she's
Jamaican and Indian. Well, but Jamaicans are seventy six point
(04:27):
three percent African descent, so this isn't like Barack Obama.
She's more Indian than anything. Yes, and that seemed to
be what she identified as, which was Trump was trying
to say. I'd have a lot of personal contact with her,
but she seemed always identify as an Indian. Now, all
of a sudden, she's black. So if she's black, she's black.
But what are the headlines today the Associated press? Donald
(04:47):
Trump falsely suggests Kamala Harris misled voters. Washington Post. Trump
attacks Harris's black identity. He didn't do anything. He sat down.
This woman just started railing on him. He told her
how rude she was. His first long answer is everything
he's done for Black Americans a laundry list. Nobody in
the Democrat Party could reel off, and the crowd was
(05:10):
loving it. But this is an attempt to turn black
journalists against Donald Trump for the purposes of them in
their work between now and November to convert black voters
back to the Democrat Party. Will it work? That's up
to black voters. They control the narrative and look what
(05:34):
they've twisted it into. But here's the catch. When Barack
Obama was in office, this is what really made me
hate what I did for a living. Barack Obama could
charmingly and eloquently tell a lie in two seconds that
took me an hour of my radio show to explain
(05:55):
and proves a lie. Do you know anytime a guy
can walk around in two seconds and set off all
these bombs and keep everybody else busy, you can do
a lot of things while they're busy putting out that fire.
It's very diversionary. Part of me wants to look you
in the eye and say, look if yesterday and today
all we're talking about is defending Donald Trump's comments at
(06:17):
the NABJ. They win because you're not focused on fentanyl.
You're not focused on the invasion border and Kamala's role
in it, or your stagnant wages, or the high inflation
or the high interest rates, or the national debt or
your personal debt, or your kids being locked out of
the dream of home ownership. They win, and they control
(06:41):
the narrative. You know, I bring that up show after
show after show, and I think it just becomes like
wallpaper to you. You know how powerful that is. They
got the prettiest faces, the most handsome faces, the best writers,
the best directors, the best cameras, the best script writers.
Why they create the fantasy that you and nic kid
men marvel at when you go to the theater and
(07:03):
they're creating a daily with this, Will you focus on
this nonsense instead of your reality? Now that brings us
to the topic of the day, which is the wave illusion.
They're creating this illusion of a wave. I have one
very very liberal relative and her big meme yesterday is
(07:23):
this giant like picture, this really big Hawaiian wave, you know,
the kind of thing that got admit that would be
cool to be a surfer and be inside one of those.
As you know, I can't swim, so it wouldn't be
that cool, be very very scary, but you know, one
of those big giant waves. And then there's a little
Donald Trump and it says we're gonna need a bigger umbrella.
(07:46):
It's a meme. Anybody can draw it. It's an illusion.
They can try to prove it, but there is a reality.
So they're trying to create the reality that all of
this sudden, the most unpopular vice president in history, who
has botched her greatest task, the border, is the savior
with all the momentum. I don't know if they can
(08:11):
get you to believe it. I was watching this video
one mind control actually, and it was an old experiment
that the CIA used to do, and they'd have seventeen
CIA agents in a room and then one real person
(08:34):
and they would hold up a picture and the one
real person didn't know the other seventeen were CIA agents.
They'd hold up a triangle picture of a triangle, and
the first they'd say, what is this The first agent
would answer it's a square, second square, sixteen later square.
Then they would get to the one real person and
(08:56):
they know they're looking at a triangle, but everybody said square,
and they don't want to be the weirdo that said
triangle and be wrong, so they say and more times
than not they say square, even though it's clearly a triangle.
These things work if given enough time. All it takes
(09:17):
is you to abandon the obvious, abandon truth, and you're susceptible.
So if they can get you to focus on these
things instead of you, they can pull it off. But
it's not real. It's an illusion. So Catherine sent me
this great article and it's in town Hall. Jeffrey was
(09:40):
the first to say, yesterday, you know, all of a sudden,
you couldn't get more than fifty people to show up
at a Joe Biden rally.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Or anything.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Kamala Harris was doing. Now, all of a sudden, the
exact same Kamala Harris. There's ten thousand people in Atlanta.
They're paying them. They got two million dollars they're paying them,
and of course they are, but this takes it to
a different level. On Harris's TikTok account, initially used to
make President Biden appear more relatable, it's now flush with
(10:09):
memes trying to make Harris seem cool. Seeing and commentator
Van Jones pointed this out, saying, Harris is gone from
cringe to cool. Well, that's the narrative wave, but is
it a reality? Is she really considered cool? Well? Did
the CIA analogy more and more probably sayan square? She's cool?
(10:33):
And an even more desperate attempt to gain the votes
of the younger generation, social media influencers are reportedly being
offered money in exchange for posting content that makes the
presumptive Democratic presidential nominee seem more appealing. Comedian Stephen McGrew
(10:54):
shared an email he received from a company called Launch
Viral offering a paid post collaboration opportunity to support Harris.
It even comes with one hundred and fifty dollars cash
bonus as an incentive. In the email, the company pitch
it includes posting a meme from its pre approved list
(11:17):
to TikTok. The influencer is required to tag and mention
at Kamala Harris or Harris twenty twenty four Twitch mcgrew's
like they're trying to get me to be a paid
shill for Kamala. They're paying people to pretend to support Kamala.
(11:46):
How did whether it's a rally? I mean, even your
social media never mind, journalism is dead never I mean
I just showed you in an hour long lesson everything
that I mean. We went into Donald's bloodline, not Trump,
Paris Chyamala's bloodline, the bloodline of Jamaicans, what she really is,
(12:12):
But it doesn't matter because is Caarine. Jean Pierre made
clear from the White House. How dare anybody judge how
anybody chooses to identify and of course that can change
day to day, which is all Donald Trump said, But
today he's a racist for saying it. That was an
ambush at a black journalist's confession, which he handled flawlessly
(12:36):
until that one comment that technically is correct, but they
have twisted around. That's how they controlled the narrative. But
the question is is this wave real? Is she suddenly
the savior of presidential candidates? Or is it being bought
and paid for to give you the perception that you'll
(12:57):
go along with. Only time will tell. We even got
a poll today that shows.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
She's suddenly leading in every swing.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
State a Bloomberg pole. Is it real? If it is
good for them? Why they wait so long? If it's not,
it's just an illusion, the wave illusion.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
This is your morning show with Michael del Jono.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Jeffrey Lyon is our producer. You're a great producer, Well,
thank you. One of the best I've ever well, hands
down the best I've ever worked with in my life.
But you're a terrible friend. You're delighting. I got one
gnat over here in my studio. Oh that's eating me alive,
bite by bite, and I can't get him, and you're
like enjoying it. That is why we should have subscription
(13:44):
service so people can see what you do on a
daily basis. And then the real hell that is my
life is he can see the gnat in the lighting
better than I can see it, Like in front of me.
It looks like a floater almost, and I keep missing him,
and then Jeffrey's going, He's to your left left.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I'm being terrorized by a tiny neat but still performing
at a very high level, I might.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Ask, well from Welcome to August, Thursday, August the first,
twenty twenty four, these are your top five stories up
to day if you're just waking up. Donald Trump attacked
by an ABC reporter at the Black Journalist Convention in Chicago.
Brian Shook as a road to the White House.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
Former President Trump clashed with reporters that the National Association
of Black Journalist's annual convention in Chicago Wednesday. Trump took
issue with ABC News congressional correspondent Rachel Scott's opening line
of questioning.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been
asked a question so in such a horrible manner.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
First question, love it.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
You don't even say hello, how are you?
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Are you with ABC?
Speaker 7 (14:48):
Because I think they're a fake news network.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
Scott asked Trump why black voters should trust him following
disparaging comments he's made about his political opponents in the past.
Trump called the introduction disgraceful and rude. In Washington, I'm
Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
As we all try to figure out what Kam was
identifying as Indian or black just to identify a vice
presidential running mate. We know it's going to be a
cat lover, single woman lover. Who might it be? Mark
Mayfield reports Harris.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Will hold her first rally with her new vice presidential
pick on Tuesday in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
The location suggests that she.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Could be choosing Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who is considered
to be on Harris's short list. The rally will kick
off a four day tour in key battle ground states
including Michigan, Arizona, and Wisconsin. Other potential running mates include
Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, Minnesota, Governor Tim Walls, and
Transportation Secretary Pete buddhad Edge. I'm Mark Mayfield, Buddhajic.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I know what you're thinking. Get through these morning meetings,
get to launch, have a great boreshead sandwich. It's gonna
be the highlight of your day.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Right, Not so fast.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Michael Kastner reports.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
That's an addition to one hundred three tons recalled last week.
At least thirty four people have gotten sick in thirteen states.
That includes two deaths. Signs of a listeria infection include fever, headache, nausea,
and muscle eggs. The recall includes seventy one products that
were made between May tenth and July twenty ninth, with
cell by dates ranging from July twenty ninth to October seventeenth.
(16:20):
I'm Michael Kassner.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
American slower Katie Ledecki won her record tying eighth gold medal.
That was the fifteen hundred meter freestyle, breaking her own
Olympic record in the process. Tory Husky added a third
medal in Paris, winning the silver for the women's one
hundred meter team. USA basketball still undefeated, they rolled past
South Sudan one to three to eighty six. The US
(16:41):
women's soccer team finished three to zero in their group play,
winning two to one over Australia. They'll face Japan in
the quarterfinals on Sunday. And today, well, it's a big
day for the women's gymnastics all around final. It'll take
place with Simone Biles and Suny Lee and the competition
US at thirty total medals atop the world, but Francis
closing in. They're only four behind now at twenty six.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
And we got football tonight.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
They're going to have the Hall of Fame game in
beautiful Rolling Hills of Caton, Ohio. It's gonna be those
Chicago Bears El Slavaca against the Houston Texans.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
HI.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
It's Michael Your Morning Show, airs live five to eight
AM Central, six to nine Eastern in great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
You'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happier here now. Enjoyed the podcast. There was
an old contemporary Christian song by Randy stone Hill in
the either late seventies or early eighties, and it was
(17:39):
called stop the World. I want to get off. This
is too weird for me. I think about that song
a lot. Yesterday I got off the air, my focus was, Okay,
they've since taken credit for it, but it was obvious
Israel went on to Iranian soil and took out a
(18:00):
Hamas leader who was there for a president's inauguration in
a guest house guarded by the Revolutionary Guard. So it's
both embarrassing and obviously Israel sending a message we realize
Hamas and Hesbelah are proxies of Iran, and we'll go
right on your soil and take out their leaders for
(18:20):
what they did on October seventh of last year. Then
by the time I got off the air, the Ayatola
is swearing revenge. She's plotting it even as we speak.
I mean, my eyes are on the Middle East War
expanding from a proxy war with Hesba and Hamas to
(18:41):
a direct war with Iran. Then, as I warned, don't
forget Iran. It's just a proxy of Russia and China
World War. Then I'm following the interest rates. I knew
they weren't going to lower them. They're still kinda you know,
you along that maybe a cut will come in September.
(19:02):
We'll have more on that with our money, was David
Bohnson later on. That's what I'm thinking about him. That's
what the focus should be. And then throughout the day
breaks out this nonsense that I gotta stop and go
and figure out what's going on with Donald Trump. Now
immediately I can identify it has to do with black vote,
(19:24):
and if they can close the black vote gap, they'll
close the gap in Michigan and Pennsylvania and they'll win
with Kamala Harris. So I go back and as I
watch it, we did it. Go to the podcast first hour.
You'll hear all the audio what really happened versus how
the news is reporting it. Look, they controlled the narrative,
and there were a lot of black journalists in that
room that will control the narrative to the black community
(19:46):
between now and November, and if they're like the Associated
Press in the Washington Post, they're going to make it.
Donald Trump attacked Harris over her race. None of that happened.
Takes an hour for me to play it for you,
but none of that happened. A black ABC reporter attacked
Donald Trump over what other people have said. Donald Trump
answered it long and directly, flawlessly, his love for the
(20:10):
Black Americans and what he's done for them, a laundry
list the Democrats could never do themselves. Then they start.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Twisting him on what she is. And even for the
longest time she identified as an Indian. Now I guess
she's identifying as a black.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I don't know what she is.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Donald Trump falsely suggests Kamala Harris misled voters about her race.
Donald Trump's a racist, attacks Harris's black identity. Harris responds,
America deserves better. He was a Donald Trump two point zero,
but they're going to play him to be a one
point oh. And that just kind of all adds to
this wave, this illusionary wave that she's invincible, she's inevitable,
(20:53):
but is it real Well to add to that wave,
We've documented how they're paying influencers on TikTok to act
like she's cool leaving Van Jones coined the phrase kam
is suddenly cool from Croydon to cool.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
But is it an illusion? Then we get the polling numbers.
This reported in the Hill, but it's actually I believe
a Bloomberg survey, Vice President Harris has a race Donald
Trump's lead in seven key battleground states, roughly a week
after becoming the likely Democratic Norway. You remember when all
(21:34):
the media was all in line, all in message to
destroy Joe Biden and to calm things down after a
failed assassination attempt on down True, Now they're all on
board and selling this wave. A Bloomberg News Morning Consult
poll showed Harris and Trump in a tight race across
(21:55):
the battleground states, with forty eight percent backing Harris and
forty seven percent sent backing Trump. What's the first thing?
What have you see? These? Pull? First thing? Jump out?
Are these registered voters? Are these likely voters? Are these anybody?
Does it include third party candidates? Of course it doesn't.
(22:19):
The breakdown among individual stage shows each candidate leading comfortably
in one swing state, with the others closely contested. It's
a notable shift from earlier in July, when Trump led
Biden overall by two percentage points. Okay, not feeling so
(22:40):
much like a wave anymore. Trump leads Harris by four
in Pennsylvania. That could change with Shapiro being announced on Tuesday.
I'll grant them that. And Trump leads in North Carolina
by two. The candidates were tied in Georgia at forty seven.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Do we.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
You remember that CIA analogy I gave and if you
missed it, there's the podcast. But you have all the Hollywood,
you have, all of the mainstream media, you have all
you know, they're all creating this feeling of a wave
or some buying it? Are we just excluding third party candidates?
By the way, after the nonsense of yesterday and after
(23:30):
the nonsense probably to come at the convention, RFK may
actually grow. I got an interesting email from RFK by
the way, just in case you haven't been following it.
Because if he can't get on the ballots, he can't
be a factor. Then once he's on the ballots, what
(23:52):
will his factoring be? Will he be a spoiler that
benefits Donald Trump? The Ross Perot effect can you ask
you win a few states and keep either from getting
to two hundred and seventy, Well, you got to be
on a lot of states. Yesterday, the campaign announced it
has collected the required signatures in eight more states, meaning
(24:15):
RFK will be on the ballot now in Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Massachusetts, Montana,
North Dakota, Vermont, and Virginia. All signatures have been validated
by the campaign's independent ballot access validation firm, confirming Kennedy
has more than enough signatures to achieve ballot access in
each of those states that gets added. Two days ago,
(24:39):
they added Connecticut, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Missouri, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
and West Virginia in total, because we're already on in California, Delaware, Hawaiian, Michigan, Minnesota,
New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah, Alaska, Indiana, Nebraska,
(25:01):
and then the campaign submitted signatures, so they're going to
have enough they need to be verified for West Virginia, Washington, Texas, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Ohio,
New York, New Jersey, Nevada, Missouri, Maine, Louisiana, Iowa, Illinois, Idaho, Georgia, Connecticut,
and Colorado. In all, he's at forty two states and
(25:22):
with half of the country identifying is independent, and with
four hundred and eight electoral votes up for grabs. Look
if it goes crazy town either with the left trying
to create a wave, trying to do what they did
in twenty twenty with Mama Lakamala, use the mainstream media
(25:45):
to create the narrative, try to block any opposing views,
which they can't do as easily because X is now
owned by Musk, And in the end America gets frustrated
with both of them. Could RFK do well enough to
keep either from getting to two seventy Can he remain
(26:07):
where he's at nine depending on the poll twelve percent
and be enough to give Donald Trump some swing states
he's going to be a factor. And he's on forty
two ballots now officially, and he's got time to get
the other seven to boot. But that's enough to be
a factor. Point of the segment, the wave illusion is
(26:34):
in full effect. But somewhere there's a reality, and the
reality is things haven't moved that much in the polls.
And that's even when you keep OURFK out of the poll,
which he'll be in on election day. Wave illusion versus reality,
(26:58):
that's really the storyline, and this shadow campaign to save
the democracy.
Speaker 7 (27:05):
This is your favorite President's forty five, soon to be
forty seven.
Speaker 8 (27:10):
And my morning show is your morning show with a
guy I like to call beacher Boy.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
It's not Delivery, it's del Journal.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
This is your morning show. I am Michael del Jorno
on the air and streaming live on your iHeart app.
And welcome to August. I don't know where July went.
It's gonna be a hot one too, not just today,
all month long. It is Thursday, August the first, twenty
twenty four. Former President Donald Trump says he will go
back to the city of his attempted assassination. Meanwhile, Vice
President Kamala Harris is hitting back at the former president
(27:40):
after he questioned her heritage earlier in the day. That's
a little twist on what actually happened. And the Federal
Reserve is leaving interest rates unchanged in about thirteen minutes
from now, we'll visit with our money. Was David bonson
on that and when you can expect interest rate cuts
to come and how it affects us all when they don't,
and when they do. The US military says it carried
out airstrikes in a rock against a base used by
(28:02):
an Iranian aligned militia.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
US leads the world with.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Thirty medals, but the home nation host nation France, has
closed the gap to just four. And football's back tonight.
We kind of all just lived for football season, right.
Everything else is just kind of a stall to get
the football season. Whether it's conventions for politics, Olympics.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Baseball in between, golf.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
In between, We're all really living for football. Houston Texans
Chicago Bears Hall of Fame game tonight on ABC eight Eastern.
Don't miss it all right, Rory O'Neil is joining US.
Donald Trump spoke at the National Association of Black Journalists
yesterday and Kamala could not make it. Her schedule was
just too busy. She was going to try to zoom
(28:46):
it in, but they didn't accept that. And then from there, well,
aggression assued. Good morning, Rory, yeah.
Speaker 8 (28:54):
Good morning. And then things started a half hour late.
And the first question out of the box was aggressive
ambush never got right. Yeah, well, you know, and again
if you look at that question, the question was why
should black people vote.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
For you, and he answered it, well, right, But the problem.
Speaker 8 (29:15):
Is, like, but the first part of the question, she
went on like five inflammatory statements, and you're like, yeah,
she brought out a sledgehammer when a scalpel was required.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Right, had she just said that? To what she answered?
It's funny. I can't redo all that because don't want
to take up our time for those that are listening
right now. You know the beginning she kind of does
like a Megan Kelly.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
You have shold four congressmen women of color who were
American citizens to go back to where they came from.
You have used words like animal and rabbit to describe
black district attorneys. You've attacked black journalists, calling them a loser,
saying the questions that they ask are quote stupid and racist.
You've had dinner with a white supremacist at your Mariologue resort.
(29:56):
So my question, sir, now that you are asking black
support to vote for you, why should black voters trust
you after you have used language like that.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been
asked a question so in such a horrible manner.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
A first question, I mean, and the crowd loved it.
And by the way, he does give a long list
of not only his love for Black Americans, but what
he's done for them ilicit. Not a lot of candidates
could reel off. So he did answer her question. But
as you said, it's the way the question was asked.
It sure felt like an ambush. It'd be interesting to
(30:34):
see how it plays rory, because you know the media
will spend like the headline this morning in the Associated Press,
Trump falsely suggests Harris misled voters about a race. Washington Post,
Trump attacks Harris's black identity. And he didn't do anything.
He just showed up and he was on time. The
others were late and Kamala didn't show. He got attacked.
He answered the question, but then later in the dissect
(30:55):
basically said she identified as an Indian, but now she's
identifying a black. I don't know what she is. And
then that's what they're taking and running. So I guess
in that sense, the question becomes all the black reporters
in that room who will be reaching black voters between
now and November, did this change their view? That's what
time would tell.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
Or does it motivate you differently just to say, well,
you know, I thought I might but now I'm going
to stay home. I mean, because let's face it, it was
now that a mixed race woman is likely to be
the Democratic nominee. I mean, that's going to change a
lot of the map that was coming up anyway, regardless
of whether or not Donald Trump is starting to draw
in more minority support.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
You know, you and I got off the air yesterday.
You know what, I was focused on a proxy war
that's about to be a direct war with Iran and Israel,
which is a proxy war with Russia and China. That's
where my mind was and interest rates, and then all
this broke up. So I start doing my research, and
I start studying Donald Harris, Stanford, Professor Emeritis. He's of
Jamaican descent. He's a Jamaican American. Now, Jamaicans are by
(31:58):
blood seventy six point three percent of African descent. Ninety
two percent of them identify as black. So she is
half ninety two percent of half black. And then her mother,
Shayamala is India Indian and a scientist, a biomedical scientist. UH,
very impressive people. So she's half Indian. And then she's
(32:20):
half black, we'll say loosely. But then virally on social media.
All they is clips of her identifying as an Indian
and then when you get Karine Jean Pierre's response, how
dare anybody question how someone chooses to identify? So what
is she or what she identifies as is where the
hair splitting comes. But it's all nonsensical compared to the
(32:41):
things that were really facing right.
Speaker 8 (32:44):
I always love the Barack Obama response to you know,
because of he's of mixed race heritage and who just say,
you know, you know, I know I'm black when I'm
trying to hail a cab on the seat, that potentially
how he looked at it.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Well, yeah, I mean, you know, but it's just all,
you know, compared to the border crisis, fentinyl deaths, the
debt for the nation, our debt, interest rates, stagnant wages.
It just goes to show, though that their first order
of business is to try to firm up that black vote,
especially for swing states.
Speaker 8 (33:16):
Right right, because it's vulnerable, or it had been more
vulnerable than it has been in a long time. So yeah,
it's a factor that go around. Plus, by the way,
we can talk about the terrorist plea deal, the fact
that the hostages are being released about that. You know,
that's pretty big out of Russia. So it's a lot
(33:36):
of breaking developers this week, a lot of breaking.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
We're getting off to a bang, not a whimper in August.
And then obviously, you know, we've got all the cities
planned and they're targeting swing states as you would expect.
But Tuesday, when it's anticipated Kamala Harris will announce her
running mate, she just so happens to be. Yeah. So
I mean, does that make Shapiro just kind of like
the obvious pick? I think so, yeah, Roy O'Neil, great reporting,
(34:02):
appreciate it all right. When we come back, we're going
to visit with David Bonnson on the interest rates. They're
going to hold steady, but will they ever be cut?
Indications are maybe as soon as September. We'll talk to
our money. Was David Boonson about that? John Decker with
more on the BEEP selection, and then Rory's going to
be back next hour as well to talk about the
Middle East and Israeli forces. Israel has taken credit for
taking out on Iranian soil that hamas leader. Meanwhile, the
(34:27):
Ayahtola is strategizing revenge even as we speak, we get
the latest on that with Rory as well.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
with Mike openheld show enough
