Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can
be heard live each weekday morning five to eighth Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Nashville, Tennessee
two below, Mississippi and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be
a part of your morning routine and take the drive
to work with you, but better late than never. We're
grateful you're here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
WAL two three, starting your morning off right. A new
way of talking, a new way of understanding, because we're
in this togib This is your morning.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Show with Michael dell Cheani.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
It's Friday, Friday, the second of August. Here of O
Lord twenty twenty four, seven minutes after the hour. Thanks
for waking up with your morning show on the Aaron
streaming live on your iHeart app. A lot of questions
today the Kamala wave No, not like a pageant wave,
the wave of popularity suddenly. Is it narrative illusion or
is it political reality? Our team of experts will explore
(00:59):
that the prison swap a Biden victory or is it
a Putin victory? It's a Biden victory. I guess he's
moving on to curing cancer next, or was it a
dangerous precedent to set for political purposes? Secret Service and
the FBI respond to the victim's video of somebody running
(01:22):
around up on a roof seconds before the assassination attempt
and their response to the video that I find very interesting.
And Donald Trump himself to be interviewed in a victim
interview today with the FBI and men punching women in
the spirit of the Olympic Games, a left agenda has
(01:43):
simply gone mad. We have that more for you over
the next three hours to unpack. Understand as we only
get one chance to live this day. This next story
I can tell you is real. My brother travels a
lot for his business and flies a lot for his business,
and then suddenly just started taking the train and it's
(02:07):
all he talks about. And he's come to me, fever bitch,
to do the same. Now. I've always wanted, like the
old babe Ruth Dakes, have my little private cabin. Is
that what they call it? Aaron? Yes, yes, a little enclosure.
What do they call that though? Your compartment whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Your cabin.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah. It's like a little like Harry Potter, you know,
when they're on their way to school. But it's just
I don't know, there's something about and then going to
the to the dinner cart. I mean, there's something about
it that is so nostalgic and so romantic. Well, guess
what passengers are turning from the air back to the
rail and larger numbers. Aaron Rayel's here to tell us why.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
It's so true that the romanticism.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Listen, people all kind of agree that this sounds great, Sure,
let's do it.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
And it's been that way for a long time. Apparently.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Industry analysts say that rail travel has been strong in
terms of interest in it, but there's such a limited
access to rail service that ridership is down because of that. However,
post pandemic, when everyone wanted to do their revenge travel
they travel across the board has bounced back any form
of it. But sure rail travel is seriously up national
(03:16):
passenger rail railroad travel twenty five million riders, that's how
many have begun riding since the beginning of the fiscal year.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
It's up twenty percent.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
There's new lines all over, and the Infrastructure bill sixty
six billion set aside for rail funding. It's going to
expand rail service throughout the country via federal grants.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
This is a good thing. It helps with congestion on
the road.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
It's a road that flying, and frankly, like you said,
there's like some dignity and romanticism attached to it as well.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
All right, So my first this is just me being curious,
like we do every day. Will you stop doing whatever
you're doing because it's going in my year and driving
me crazy. I love you, but please stop doing it.
I don't know why it's doing it, but it's doing it.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
No.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
What I was going to say is how much of
this is people with gas prices the way they are
And by the way you talk about the infrastructure. That's
important because if you're going from like New Orleans to Nashville,
you could almost get here as quick as by the
time you go to the airport, park, go through security,
wait for your flight, having a you know so. But
by and large, I'm wondering if this is people doing
(04:20):
this instead of driving.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Oh for sure, yes, absolutely, why more than flying?
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
And the idea is that you know, travel patterns have
shifted post pandemic. We know that traffic patterns have returned
to or exceeded what they were prior to the pandemic
in terms of congestion, so people are looking for alternatives. Yes,
the price is better, but I also think that there's
this younger segment of the population that's also concerned with
(04:49):
its environmentally.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Friendly benefits of using rail and then also.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
The beauty of it.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Yes, it takes longer, and yes it might be because
you can't afford a ticket for the fail, but that
doesn't necessarily make it worse in any way.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I'm thinking my next baseball trip taking the train, just
like the old Babe Ruth Dase. Hop on the train,
get off at Union Station in Saint Louis, hit Bush Stadium,
watch the Cardinals. No, but there is there's just something
about it I want to try. And then I think
they have a lot of feature ones like if you
want to do one that you know, they're purposely it's
(05:24):
for the view and you know the stops following along
certain trails if you will. I think it's it's it's
it's unique, it's different. I don't recommend it in terms
of going to Europe, but we're hitting.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
The Yeah, like it.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
There are constraints with it, but it is something different
and this resurgent in it in it.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
And the interest in it.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
I think it speaks to how we have changed so
much post pandemic. No one wants to go to the airport.
We know that it's going to be a slog and
generally unpleasant. And the idea that you can sit back
and take into vista, whether that be on the Pacific
coast to the East coast or.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
In the middle of the country.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
The expansion of railways via the Infrastructure Bill seems to
be a true benefit to the people because again, it's
not like interest hasn't been there.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
It always has been there.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
It just hasn't been accessible or convenient or or you know.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
It's funny.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I've been talking about this story with a lot of
folks throughout the country this morning, and everyone's like, oh,
that sounds awesome.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I have yet to hear one person exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
There's just something and I haven't last time I rode
a train, I think I was a very small child,
and I don't know why we did train, but we did.
But I would love to and I actually planned to.
So I'm going to add to this number. You brought
up COVID, and you know, COVID did a lot of
bad things and It really wasn't necessarily COVID itself as
much as our reaction versus response to COVID. But some
(06:50):
good came from it as well. You know, we hear
the old expression life is a journey, not a destination.
It really is. And trains now sometimes I love you
me on a plane, I'm like a baby in a womb.
I'm so comfortable and so arrested, so I don't have
any negatives. It's it's everything getting in the air that's
kind of aggravating, right, But I'm yeah, I find Americans.
(07:11):
You know, we talked about the return to the kitchen table.
Maybe the life is a journey, not a destination. As
far as nobody on their deathbed ever regrets a deal
they didn't close, or working more hours and so on.
I think America's stopping, to quote mac Davis and smelling
the roses a little along the way, and a train
can do that wonderfully, and.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
That's a good thing.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
It's a really really good thing.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I have taken listen, having worked in New York and DC,
I you're.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
On the train a lot, a lot, and like the
Amtrak Northeast Quarrin, I am intimately familiar with it and
every time I enjoy.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
It, like I really really do. It's it's just such
a lovely like.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
The seats are comfortable, there's food available, you can walk
a little like everything about it is dignified. And more
often than not, I find myself just zoning out looking
out the window, and I.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Never do that. That may be the one time or
something that the one time I buy a newspaper and
snap it the whole way. Nothing like being on a
track with the newspaper. All right, this is a fun
visit with Aaron. Next hour, not as fun. Instagram and
Facebook still running ads for illegal drugs months after reports
that Meta was under investigation. They seem to, you know,
(08:18):
think they played by their own rules and this continues
to be a problem. And we'll be back with that
very serious story in the meantime. This segment was brought
to you by am Track Why go.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Their hang out on the rail.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
Thanks all right, for teen minutes after the hour, right,
here are your top five stories of the day.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Running mate makes a run to the border himself Brian
Shook with our Road to the White House.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Road to the White House twenty twenty four. Donald Trump's
running mate JD Vance is touring the US Mexico border.
Vance met with law enforcement officials in Cochise County, Arizona,
Thursday and slammed what he called the Harris administration's open
border policies.
Speaker 8 (09:00):
King promises as she kept those promises to open the
America's southern border, a stop deportations on day one, a
stop construction of.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
The border wall.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
He promised to implement the so called Remain in Mexico
policy and construction of the border wall if Trump wins
the White House in November. The Trump campaign has repeatedly
attacked Harris on immigration since she recently became the likely
Democratic nominee for president. In Washington, I'm Brian Schuck.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Not that you needed it, but more proof it's a
two party war, not a two party system. Senate Majority
leader Chucky Schumer is introducing a bill to strip former
President Donald Trump of immunity. Ark Mayfield reports.
Speaker 9 (09:39):
The No Kings Act would clarify that the Constitution does
not entitle presidents to immunity from prosecution for accident violate
federal criminal law. Despite last month's Supreme Court ruling granting
president's broad immunity, the legislation is unlikely to pass the Senate,
where it would need sixty votes to overcome a Republican filibuster.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
This comes out.
Speaker 9 (10:00):
President Biden called for an overhaul of the Conservative majority
court that includes term limits and an enforceable.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Code of ethics. On Mark Mayfield, look, it's human nature
to celebrate the return if anybody wrongly kept captive. Now
there's still a teacher that has been left behind in
all this, Mark Fogold. Nobody seems to want to talk
about that. But is this a Biden victory or is
it perhaps a celebration of Vladimir Putin's strategy, I'll take
(10:27):
people hostage to get mine back. Lawmakers kind of seeing
both sides of it, some celebrating the release of Americans
jailed in Russia, others raising concerns. Lisa Taylor has more.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Michael McCall said he was
thrilled Wall Street Joeneral reporter Evan Gershkovich, and former marine
Paul Whalen and others were free, but added he's worried
the exchange for Russian prisoners could encourage future hostage taking. Meanwhile,
Republican Senator Todd Young, who sits on the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee said the exchange was not equal. Garret Haik
has more.
Speaker 10 (11:00):
In the exchange, Russia secured the release of eight people,
the most notable of the Dean Krasikoff, a Russian hitman
who is serving a life sentence in Germany for the
murder of a Chechen dissident and what prosecutor said was
a Russian stinct sanctioned assassination. According to a senior Administration official,
Russia would not agree to a deal that did not
involve Krassakoff.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
The Wall Street Journal says the swap was made at
a Turkish airport and reportedly involves multiple Russians, with Germany
and Belarus playing a part in the deal. I'mly citailer.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
If you go by social media. The biggest story of
the day wasn't the prison swap prisoner swap. It was
a biological male beating up an Italian female in the
Olympics where she has to quit after forty five seconds.
At some point, men punching women in the spirit of
(11:50):
the Olympic Games. Not just an embarrassment for America, but
a left agenda gone matt, something the President addressed and
said form President Donald Trump, every time he's having one
of his rallies, the largest applause always goes to when
he talks about not allowing men to compete against women
(12:13):
from day one.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
From day one, it'll be ended.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
While on the Claim Buck Show, Trump said that he
will reverse Title nine rules that allow transgender males to
play in women's sports. It's ridiculous. The whole thing is ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
The whole country is a laughing sock.
Speaker 7 (12:27):
Our country has become a laughing sock all over the world, and.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
We're gonna change it. I love this guy. Hit the music,
Johnny Cat, Remember we were kids. I'm gonna tell a
fill o everybody. I'm Johnny Cash, just answer from it.
Johnny Cash will be honored with a statue inside the
US Capitol. Next month, a statue of country music legend
will be added to the National Statuary Hall, where my
son famously threw up on three statues about seven years ago.
(12:55):
Oh we were tavoc at our nation's capital, Nick throwing
up all over Statuary Hall and then Anna getting a
bloody nose all over Barack Obama's marble floors and secret
service had to go up to the residence to get clean.
Next that's a sitcom. Yes it is. We make our
mark when the del mister Smith goes to Washington. It's
a wonderful thing. The del Jennal's going to Washington. Watch out,
(13:15):
clean up on out. Anyway. The honor will take place
on September the twenty fourth and eight foot tall, which
isn't that much taller than he really want was. An
eight foot tall statue of Cash will replace the current
statue of James P. Clark, a former Arkansas governor and
US Senator. When next time you're in the Capitol Building
and Statuary Hall, you'll see this eight foot image. Hello, everybody,
(13:36):
I'm Johnny Cash. In sports, Simone Biles right in a
league of a role. You know, it's you expect it
and so as if that diminishes it in anyway, you
still got to go do it. And she does it
and the comeback from four years ago, it's the greatest
story in the Olympics or Katie Ledecki. Both had big Thursdays,
(13:58):
but Simone Biles wins old Sony Lee grabs the bronze
and the women's gymnastics all around final, Katie Ldecki became
the most decorated female swimmer in Olympic history, capturing her
I can't even say it thirteenth Very medal with a
four x two hundred meter freestyle relay. The United States
men's soccer team hopes to advance to the semi finals
(14:19):
with a win over Morocco today, and the US women's
basketball team is now too and zero after defeating Belgium
eighty seven to seventy four. Their Olympic winning streak for
the ladies is now fifty seven games. WHOA, we dominate
in b ball In all team USA extended its lead
with seven more medals on Thursday at the Paris Olympics.
(14:41):
The US now has thirty seven total, including nine gold,
fifteen silver, thirteen bronze, bronze. France remained second ten back
now with twenty seven. In China sits in third football
last night, never then, what or notcking it's Ohio. It
was just good to see the uniforms.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
I'm a better uniform than the Chicago Bears. I'm thinking
a Allie Dog mcfone, Dick Buckis. Did I just say,
Bob Avellini?
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I think I did. Dub Bear's twenty one seventeen over
dem Texans in Katin, Ohio, in the Hall of Fame
game in Major League Baseball, Guardians Ones Cardinals lost to
the Cubbies five to four. Everybody else was off Yesterday.
Birthdays Today, Fried Green Tomatoes. Actress Mary Louise Parker is
sixty Trump running me jd Vance forty years old. Today
(15:35):
SNL cast member and a personal friend. The funny Victoria
Jackson is sixty five. If it's your birthday, Happy birthday.
We're so glad you were born.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chono. Thanks
for waking up with your morning show. Well, he survived
an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, an ambush in Chicago
at the Black Journalist Convention. He ought to be in
rare form for Friday with forty five an hour three.
We'll have our Friday with forty five segment. The big
(16:07):
story of the day is this prison swap. And listen,
you know you'll play right into the Left's hands if
you act as if you're not grateful that these individuals
are home.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
But was it a fair exchange? Was it a successful
plan of putin? Just take people when you want to
get yours back, so your people get caught killing credit
card fraud, breaking the law, and then to get them back,
you just take some medicin Americans whenever you please. That's
the real question of the hour. And because the left
(16:38):
control is the narrative, they're going to turn around and
make anybody that brings up those concerns look like you know,
they were doing it to Donald Trump yesterday. Oh you
you can't celebrate anything that Joe Biden accomplishes, only if
you accomplish it. Now, the exchange at the White House
was the most embarrassing. A reporter asked the president repeatedly.
(17:02):
Donald Trump said he could get the He could have
gotten the hostages out without giving up anything in exchange,
and then Biden responds, why didn't he do it when
he was president? Well, because if if you include Brittany Grinder,
three of the four were in hostages until Biden was president,
he couldn't. So, yeah, that's a dope for Joe Biden.
Hey it's me Michael. Your morning show has heard live
(17:23):
from five to eight am Central, six to nine am Eastern,
three to six am Pacific on great radio stations like
News Radio eleven ninety k EX in Portland, News Talk
by fifty k f YI, and Phoenix, Arizona Freedom one
oh four seven in Washington, d C. We'd love to
have you join us live in the morning, even take
us along on the drive to work, but better late
than never. Enjoyed the podcast, Thanks for waking up with
(17:45):
your morning show on Michael. You know, we often on
the quarter hours, as we say in the business, we
do the top five stories of the day because we
want you up and want you informed. Unfortunately, the news
cycle is really a narrative, and all too often a
narrative attempting to divert your attention from the real news
that they're suppressing. All right, that's just the tragic reality
(18:07):
of living in the death of journalism. So while we
do the top five stories of the day, I don't
often get a chance to do my top three stories
of the day. Actually I could do five today, but
I don't know how long we can go. So and
I want to start with this first one. Remember from
the very beginning, he said, what the heck happened in Butler, Pennsylvania?
Was that just outrageous poor planning? Was it a personnel
(18:31):
issue communication is or was it something worse? And most
people will never the explore the or Is this something worse.
I found this to be one of the most interesting
stories of the day. The Secret Service and the FBI
(18:51):
respond to the Trump rally video showing the figure running
around on the roof and this is minutes, not just
mere seconds, minutes before gunfire. How could you miss it?
In fact, one of the victims himself didn't miss it
and filmed it. The US Secret Service and FBI on
Thursday responded to a video recorded by James Copenhaber, one
(19:13):
of the victims wounded in the July thirteenth assassination attempt
of Donald Trump, showing an obvious person moving across the
roof of the building gunman Thomas Cook. Shot from the
video that Copenhaveer shared exclusively with Fox News Digital was
(19:34):
taken at six point eight pm on July thirteenth, minutes
before the six to eleven shooting. The Secret Services commented
by saying, we're committed to better understanding what happened before, during,
and after the assassination attempt to former President Donald Trump
to ensure that never happens again. Great statement, and that
(19:58):
includes complete cooperation with Congress, the FBI, and other relevant investigations. Meanwhile,
the FBI told Fox News it's aware of the video,
no further comment. When you see the video, how could
(20:20):
any sharpshooter have not noticed one in about two minutes
a victim would notice bullets coming at him. Not a
lot to talk about that today? Is there, yesterday and again?
And this goes without saying. Anytime you see American hostages
(20:45):
being held captive unjustly return to American soil, that's a
time for celebrating for them, for their family members. Not
necessarily political grandstanding, which is kind of what happened with
Kamala Harris and Joe Biden yesterday, but certainly American celebration. Now,
(21:07):
I was watching CNN, and of course David Axelrod Obama
operative now considered talking head panelist, He's on there saying
Donald Trump is despicable. I mean, this guy, this is
a great American achievement, a great American moment, and he
(21:29):
just can't keep his mouth shut. And I presume that
the left that controls the narrative and the media will
say that about any of us who take any longer
look at this issue other than Biden's the jolly goodfellow.
Let's celebrate Americans their home. But is this really a
(21:51):
Biden victory, and now he's just going to move on
to solving cancer or is it a dangerous precedent done
now at this moment for a political purpose. Listen, whenever
there's a reason we don't negotiate with hostage with terrorists
with hostages, you're putting future American lives in danger once
(22:13):
they know we just take a hostage, then we get
what we want. That's a problem. So anybody who has
a brain wave would be saying, this is a Biden
victory of Putin victory, because we all know what Putin's doing,
just grabbing people, innocent people so he can get his
not innocent people back. This is a Biden victory of
(22:36):
Putin victory. And if Old Joe is so great at
getting hostages back, could he get our hostages back from Israel?
Perhaps before inauguration day. But again, anybody who questions it
will in some way be criticized. No, I'm thrilled there.
(22:58):
Back in fact, I have one other question for the
President and others. Why isn't American teacher Mark Fogel one
of them? Are we allowed to discuss that story that
an American teacher detained in Russia was left behind again
in a prison swap. I don't know what We're gonna
(23:18):
have to really missiles probably to get him back. That's
a question all of us are gonna have to answer
this prison swap. Big political victory for Biden or for
Putin and dangerous precedent, and expect more of it now.
Social media was a buzz with the Biden misspeak, which
(23:44):
forgive me, but it was kind of It's kind of
nice to see old Joe again. He's just kind of
disappeared from the landscape as he so he comes out,
makes his announcement, and then a reporter shouts this as
he's walking off, that.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
He could have gotten that hostages without giving anything in exchange.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
What do you say to that?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
What do you say to president from now?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Why didn't he do? Who he is president? Then he
walks out like it's a big mic travel what didn't
he do when he was president? Because two of the
three weren't detained yet that happened during your presidency? And
if I throw in a basketball player's three out of four,
don't I don't know ran the parade. The timing is interesting,
(24:31):
the exchange a little opsided, and who achieved what yesterday?
I don't think there's any story that got more outrage,
especially on social media, and it really should outrage everyone.
(24:58):
An Italian boxer who has trained her entire life and
made sacrifices to make it to the Olympic Games had
her dreams ended in forty six seconds. Forty six seconds,
that was it because unfortunately a born man who just
(25:18):
now identifies as a woman was her opponent. I don't
want to be dramatic. I just want to cut through
with Angela Karini's own words. I'm heartbroken. I went to
(25:43):
the ring to honor my father. You know, behind every
one of these athletes is an amazing story, right, not
just all the hours alone sweating and working for this moment.
That's the magic of the Olympics. Right, he trained for
four four years. Then you have your moment something you've
(26:04):
done right for four years. Every day something could go
wrong and that's it. Your dream's gone. You gotta do
it in the moment. But you train your dream, you
seek to honor your father and your country, and you
get in the ring and there's a man standing there
(26:24):
because of whatever political correctness and culture is saying today. Now,
first of all, First of all, if I were her father.
I might have jumped in the ring given him a
shot to take on a real man. I mean, that's
a man punching my daughter. One punch presumably broke her nose.
(26:49):
Listen to this next quote. I was told a lot
of times that I was a warrior, but I preferred
to stop for my health. I have never felt upon
like this. I'll never forget the first time I saw
a woman get beat up by a man in a
boxing ring, and she was playing the political correct game
(27:11):
even after the fight. I just have never been hit
so hard in my life. I've never felt punches like that. Yeah,
because it was a man punching you, not a woman.
And here she comes right out saying this Algerian fighter
is not a woman, She's a man. She was born
a man, or is this story would say he has
(27:33):
X Y chromosomes and typical male testosterone in strength. At
what point has this leftist cultural agenda gone mad? And
in the name of the spirit of the Olympic Games,
this is like insanity right before your eyes or his
(27:56):
former President Trump said an embarrassment to the world, and
not a peep from Veep Kamala or President Obama who
support this kind of nonsense. The most troubling story is
so out of the blue you wouldn't even recognize the
story itself, and no one is reporting it. In fact,
(28:21):
I found it buried on the internet and it's footage
obtained showing numerous non citizens. By the way, you got
to say, how nice they're living. They don't live in
the projects and government hwt. It's like a really nice
apartment complex conveniently located in key districts of Georgia. And
(28:43):
a staggering fourteen percent of the non citizens that answered
the door when knocked on or registered to vote. I'll
play it just a little bit. We come from a
company that is dedicated to registering Hispanic people so they
can vote in upcoming elections. Are already registered, We already voted?
Have you already voted?
Speaker 9 (29:03):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Are you a citizen or.
Speaker 11 (29:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Have you already been registered or yeah?
Speaker 11 (29:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Are you a citizen or.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Have you already been registered? At work? Yes? I know
I'm running late, but that's there's three minutes and twenty
six seconds. Again, of the ones that answered the door
and of the ones that spoke, fourteen percent of non
citizens admitted they were either registered to vote or already
voted illegal. That's staggering. And if you bring this video
(29:38):
up or usage suggest that these are illegal votes may
add up to be the difference. And this is just
in one apartment complex in a very key district. Well,
you'll be called an insurrectionist after the fact, but what
about before the fact. Can we talk about it now?
Can we play this audio now?
Speaker 11 (29:58):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:58):
I forgot, I'm the only one playing it. This is
Paul David Patterson down in Toledo District. Belize in my
morning shows, your morning show with Michael Bill Jordan. I
am Michael del Journal. This is your morning show. Jeffy
was just talking out there. He said, don't do this
at homego king. He said to his wife, you know, oh,
(30:19):
does this mean I can hit you now a little?
As her response, just try it, mister, just try it.
Don't try that at home. Folks. If a guy hits
a girl on the street, you get arrested. You do
in the Olympics and shatter someone's dreams, that's political correctness
for you. You can't make this stuff up. All right,
Over one hundred million Americans under a heat warning or
advisory today. Meanwhile, the National Hurricane Center is keeping an
(30:42):
eye on a storm system in the Atlantic that could
develop into Debbie. Here's your top five stories of the day.
You were talking about diversion to protect narratives. The running
mate of Donald Trump was on the border. Did reporters
(31:03):
want to ask questions about the border? No, what do
you think of your running mate? Does saying that Kamala
Harris isn't really blocked that one on all day yesterday?
Speaker 6 (31:15):
But JD.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Vance did go to the border and did see for himself.
Brian Shook as our road to the White House. Road
to the White House twenty twenty four. Donald Trump's running
mate JD. Vance is touring the US Mexico border. Vance
met with law enforcement officials in Coachees County, Arizona, Thursday
and slammed what he called the Harris administration's open border policies.
Speaker 8 (31:38):
Pamala Harris came into office making promises. As she kept
those promises to open the America southern border. They stopped
the importations on day one, They stopped construction of the
border wall.

He promised to implement the so called Remain in Mexico
policy and construction of the border wall if Trump wins
the White House.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
In November.

The Trump campaign has repeatedly at packed Harris on immigration
since she recently became the likely Democratic nominee for president.
In Washington, I'm Brian Schuk.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Over one hundred million Americans, about one in four, are
under a heat warning or advisory across the US today.
Speaker 9 (32:14):
Mark Mayfield reports forecaster say a high pressure system stretching
across parts of the US will cause temperatures to rise
above one hundred degrees from central California to the mid Atlantic.
The heat index factory in humidity could send temperatures soaring
up to one hundred and fifteen degrees in parts of
the central US. The National Weather Service as a heat
wave could last through next week and could cause an
(32:35):
increase in wildfires in the western US.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Lawmakers who are celebrating the release of Americans jailed in Russia,
I mean, who wouldn't. But there are also raising concerns
about prisoner swaps. Lisa Taylor has details.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCall said he was
thrilled Wall Street General reporter Evan Gershkovich and former Marine
Paul Whalen and others were free, but added he's worried
the exchange for Russian prisoners could encourage future hostage taking. Meanwhile,
Republican Senator Todd Young, who sits on the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, said the exchange was not equal. Garrett Haik
has more.
Speaker 10 (33:09):
In the exchange, Russia secured the release of eight people,
the most notable the Dean Krasikoff, a Russian hitman who
is serving a life sentence in Germany for the murder
of a Chechen dissident and what prosecutor said was a
Russian state sanctioned assassination. According to a senior Administration official,
Russia would not agree to a deal that did not
involve Krassakoff.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
The Wall Street Journal says the swap was made at
a Turkish airport and reportedly involves multiple Russians, with Germany
and Belarus playing a part in the deal. I'm Me
ce Taylor.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Former CNN host Don Lemon is suing Elon Musk for
canceling his show on the billionaire's social media platform X,
Tammy Trihilo as more.
Speaker 11 (33:46):
The suit was filed Thursday in San Francisco. It accuses
X of using Lemon's name and reputation to attract advertisers
and make a profit. The first episode was recorded in March,
with Lemon interviewing Musk the next day. According to the suit,
Musk anseled the deal, which had promised Lemon a one
point five million dollar payment annually along with a percentage
of ad revenue. I'm Tammy Truhio.

This is your morning show with Michael Vindel Journo
Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can
be heard live each weekday morning five to eighth Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Nashville, Tennessee
two below, Mississippi and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be
a part of your morning routine and take the drive
to work with you, but better late than never. We're
grateful you're here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
WAL two three, starting your morning off right. A new
way of talking, a new way of understanding, because we're
in this togib This is your morning.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Show with Michael dell Cheani.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
It's Friday, Friday, the second of August. Here of O
Lord twenty twenty four, seven minutes after the hour. Thanks
for waking up with your morning show on the Aaron
streaming live on your iHeart app. A lot of questions
today the Kamala wave No, not like a pageant wave,
the wave of popularity suddenly. Is it narrative illusion or
is it political reality? Our team of experts will explore
(00:59):
that the prison swap a Biden victory or is it
a Putin victory? It's a Biden victory. I guess he's
moving on to curing cancer next, or was it a
dangerous precedent to set for political purposes? Secret Service and
the FBI respond to the victim's video of somebody running
(01:22):
around up on a roof seconds before the assassination attempt
and their response to the video that I find very interesting.
And Donald Trump himself to be interviewed in a victim
interview today with the FBI and men punching women in
the spirit of the Olympic Games, a left agenda has
(01:43):
simply gone mad. We have that more for you over
the next three hours to unpack. Understand as we only
get one chance to live this day. This next story
I can tell you is real. My brother travels a
lot for his business and flies a lot for his business,
and then suddenly just started taking the train and it's
(02:07):
all he talks about. And he's come to me, fever bitch,
to do the same. Now. I've always wanted, like the
old babe Ruth Dakes, have my little private cabin. Is
that what they call it? Aaron? Yes, yes, a little enclosure.
What do they call that though? Your compartment whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Your cabin.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah. It's like a little like Harry Potter, you know,
when they're on their way to school. But it's just
I don't know, there's something about and then going to
the to the dinner cart. I mean, there's something about
it that is so nostalgic and so romantic. Well, guess
what passengers are turning from the air back to the
rail and larger numbers. Aaron Rayel's here to tell us why.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
It's so true that the romanticism.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Listen, people all kind of agree that this sounds great, Sure,
let's do it.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
And it's been that way for a long time. Apparently.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Industry analysts say that rail travel has been strong in
terms of interest in it, but there's such a limited
access to rail service that ridership is down because of that. However,
post pandemic, when everyone wanted to do their revenge travel
they travel across the board has bounced back any form
of it. But sure rail travel is seriously up national
(03:16):
passenger rail railroad travel twenty five million riders, that's how
many have begun riding since the beginning of the fiscal year.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
It's up twenty percent.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
There's new lines all over, and the Infrastructure bill sixty
six billion set aside for rail funding. It's going to
expand rail service throughout the country via federal grants.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
This is a good thing. It helps with congestion on
the road.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
It's a road that flying, and frankly, like you said,
there's like some dignity and romanticism attached to it as well.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
All right, So my first this is just me being curious,
like we do every day. Will you stop doing whatever
you're doing because it's going in my year and driving
me crazy. I love you, but please stop doing it.
I don't know why it's doing it, but it's doing it.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
No.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
What I was going to say is how much of
this is people with gas prices the way they are
And by the way you talk about the infrastructure. That's
important because if you're going from like New Orleans to Nashville,
you could almost get here as quick as by the
time you go to the airport, park, go through security,
wait for your flight, having a you know so. But
by and large, I'm wondering if this is people doing
(04:20):
this instead of driving.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Oh for sure, yes, absolutely, why more than flying?
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
And the idea is that you know, travel patterns have
shifted post pandemic. We know that traffic patterns have returned
to or exceeded what they were prior to the pandemic
in terms of congestion, so people are looking for alternatives. Yes,
the price is better, but I also think that there's
this younger segment of the population that's also concerned with
(04:49):
its environmentally.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Friendly benefits of using rail and then also.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
The beauty of it.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Yes, it takes longer, and yes it might be because
you can't afford a ticket for the fail, but that
doesn't necessarily make it worse in any way.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I'm thinking my next baseball trip taking the train, just
like the old Babe Ruth Dase. Hop on the train,
get off at Union Station in Saint Louis, hit Bush Stadium,
watch the Cardinals. No, but there is there's just something
about it I want to try. And then I think
they have a lot of feature ones like if you
want to do one that you know, they're purposely it's
(05:24):
for the view and you know the stops following along
certain trails if you will. I think it's it's it's
it's unique, it's different. I don't recommend it in terms
of going to Europe, but we're hitting.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
The Yeah, like it.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
There are constraints with it, but it is something different
and this resurgent in it in it.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
And the interest in it.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
I think it speaks to how we have changed so
much post pandemic. No one wants to go to the airport.
We know that it's going to be a slog and
generally unpleasant. And the idea that you can sit back
and take into vista, whether that be on the Pacific
coast to the East coast or.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
In the middle of the country.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
The expansion of railways via the Infrastructure Bill seems to
be a true benefit to the people because again, it's
not like interest hasn't been there.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
It always has been there.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
It just hasn't been accessible or convenient or or you know.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
It's funny.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I've been talking about this story with a lot of
folks throughout the country this morning, and everyone's like, oh,
that sounds awesome.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I have yet to hear one person exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
There's just something and I haven't last time I rode
a train, I think I was a very small child,
and I don't know why we did train, but we did.
But I would love to and I actually planned to.
So I'm going to add to this number. You brought
up COVID, and you know, COVID did a lot of
bad things and It really wasn't necessarily COVID itself as
much as our reaction versus response to COVID. But some
(06:50):
good came from it as well. You know, we hear
the old expression life is a journey, not a destination.
It really is. And trains now sometimes I love you
me on a plane, I'm like a baby in a womb.
I'm so comfortable and so arrested, so I don't have
any negatives. It's it's everything getting in the air that's
kind of aggravating, right, But I'm yeah, I find Americans.
(07:11):
You know, we talked about the return to the kitchen table.
Maybe the life is a journey, not a destination. As
far as nobody on their deathbed ever regrets a deal
they didn't close, or working more hours and so on.
I think America's stopping, to quote mac Davis and smelling
the roses a little along the way, and a train
can do that wonderfully, and.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
That's a good thing.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
It's a really really good thing.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I have taken listen, having worked in New York and DC,
I you're.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
On the train a lot, a lot, and like the
Amtrak Northeast Quarrin, I am intimately familiar with it and
every time I enjoy.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
It, like I really really do. It's it's just such
a lovely like.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
The seats are comfortable, there's food available, you can walk
a little like everything about it is dignified. And more
often than not, I find myself just zoning out looking
out the window, and I.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Never do that. That may be the one time or
something that the one time I buy a newspaper and
snap it the whole way. Nothing like being on a
track with the newspaper. All right, this is a fun
visit with Aaron. Next hour, not as fun. Instagram and
Facebook still running ads for illegal drugs months after reports
that Meta was under investigation. They seem to, you know,
(08:18):
think they played by their own rules and this continues
to be a problem. And we'll be back with that
very serious story in the meantime. This segment was brought
to you by am Track Why go.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Their hang out on the rail.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
Thanks all right, for teen minutes after the hour, right,
here are your top five stories of the day.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Running mate makes a run to the border himself Brian
Shook with our Road to the White House.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Road to the White House twenty twenty four. Donald Trump's
running mate JD Vance is touring the US Mexico border.
Vance met with law enforcement officials in Cochise County, Arizona,
Thursday and slammed what he called the Harris administration's open
border policies.
Speaker 8 (09:00):
King promises as she kept those promises to open the
America's southern border, a stop deportations on day one, a
stop construction of.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
The border wall.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
He promised to implement the so called Remain in Mexico
policy and construction of the border wall if Trump wins
the White House in November. The Trump campaign has repeatedly
attacked Harris on immigration since she recently became the likely
Democratic nominee for president. In Washington, I'm Brian Schuck.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Not that you needed it, but more proof it's a
two party war, not a two party system. Senate Majority
leader Chucky Schumer is introducing a bill to strip former
President Donald Trump of immunity. Ark Mayfield reports.
Speaker 9 (09:39):
The No Kings Act would clarify that the Constitution does
not entitle presidents to immunity from prosecution for accident violate
federal criminal law. Despite last month's Supreme Court ruling granting
president's broad immunity, the legislation is unlikely to pass the Senate,
where it would need sixty votes to overcome a Republican filibuster.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
This comes out.
Speaker 9 (10:00):
President Biden called for an overhaul of the Conservative majority
court that includes term limits and an enforceable.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Code of ethics. On Mark Mayfield, look, it's human nature
to celebrate the return if anybody wrongly kept captive. Now
there's still a teacher that has been left behind in
all this, Mark Fogold. Nobody seems to want to talk
about that. But is this a Biden victory or is
it perhaps a celebration of Vladimir Putin's strategy, I'll take
(10:27):
people hostage to get mine back. Lawmakers kind of seeing
both sides of it, some celebrating the release of Americans
jailed in Russia, others raising concerns. Lisa Taylor has more.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Michael McCall said he was
thrilled Wall Street Joeneral reporter Evan Gershkovich, and former marine
Paul Whalen and others were free, but added he's worried
the exchange for Russian prisoners could encourage future hostage taking. Meanwhile,
Republican Senator Todd Young, who sits on the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee said the exchange was not equal. Garret Haik
has more.
Speaker 10 (11:00):
In the exchange, Russia secured the release of eight people,
the most notable of the Dean Krasikoff, a Russian hitman
who is serving a life sentence in Germany for the
murder of a Chechen dissident and what prosecutor said was
a Russian stinct sanctioned assassination. According to a senior Administration official,
Russia would not agree to a deal that did not
involve Krassakoff.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
The Wall Street Journal says the swap was made at
a Turkish airport and reportedly involves multiple Russians, with Germany
and Belarus playing a part in the deal. I'mly citailer.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
If you go by social media. The biggest story of
the day wasn't the prison swap prisoner swap. It was
a biological male beating up an Italian female in the
Olympics where she has to quit after forty five seconds.
At some point, men punching women in the spirit of
(11:50):
the Olympic Games. Not just an embarrassment for America, but
a left agenda gone matt, something the President addressed and
said form President Donald Trump, every time he's having one
of his rallies, the largest applause always goes to when
he talks about not allowing men to compete against women
(12:13):
from day one.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
From day one, it'll be ended.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
While on the Claim Buck Show, Trump said that he
will reverse Title nine rules that allow transgender males to
play in women's sports. It's ridiculous. The whole thing is ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
The whole country is a laughing sock.
Speaker 7 (12:27):
Our country has become a laughing sock all over the world, and.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
We're gonna change it. I love this guy. Hit the music,
Johnny Cat, Remember we were kids. I'm gonna tell a
fill o everybody. I'm Johnny Cash, just answer from it.
Johnny Cash will be honored with a statue inside the
US Capitol. Next month, a statue of country music legend
will be added to the National Statuary Hall, where my
son famously threw up on three statues about seven years ago.
(12:55):
Oh we were tavoc at our nation's capital, Nick throwing
up all over Statuary Hall and then Anna getting a
bloody nose all over Barack Obama's marble floors and secret
service had to go up to the residence to get clean.
Next that's a sitcom. Yes it is. We make our
mark when the del mister Smith goes to Washington. It's
a wonderful thing. The del Jennal's going to Washington. Watch out,
(13:15):
clean up on out. Anyway. The honor will take place
on September the twenty fourth and eight foot tall, which
isn't that much taller than he really want was. An
eight foot tall statue of Cash will replace the current
statue of James P. Clark, a former Arkansas governor and
US Senator. When next time you're in the Capitol Building
and Statuary Hall, you'll see this eight foot image. Hello, everybody,
(13:36):
I'm Johnny Cash. In sports, Simone Biles right in a
league of a role. You know, it's you expect it
and so as if that diminishes it in anyway, you
still got to go do it. And she does it
and the comeback from four years ago, it's the greatest
story in the Olympics or Katie Ledecki. Both had big Thursdays,
(13:58):
but Simone Biles wins old Sony Lee grabs the bronze
and the women's gymnastics all around final, Katie Ldecki became
the most decorated female swimmer in Olympic history, capturing her
I can't even say it thirteenth Very medal with a
four x two hundred meter freestyle relay. The United States
men's soccer team hopes to advance to the semi finals
(14:19):
with a win over Morocco today, and the US women's
basketball team is now too and zero after defeating Belgium
eighty seven to seventy four. Their Olympic winning streak for
the ladies is now fifty seven games. WHOA, we dominate
in b ball In all team USA extended its lead
with seven more medals on Thursday at the Paris Olympics.
(14:41):
The US now has thirty seven total, including nine gold,
fifteen silver, thirteen bronze, bronze. France remained second ten back
now with twenty seven. In China sits in third football
last night, never then, what or notcking it's Ohio. It
was just good to see the uniforms.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
I'm a better uniform than the Chicago Bears. I'm thinking
a Allie Dog mcfone, Dick Buckis. Did I just say,
Bob Avellini?
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I think I did. Dub Bear's twenty one seventeen over
dem Texans in Katin, Ohio, in the Hall of Fame
game in Major League Baseball, Guardians Ones Cardinals lost to
the Cubbies five to four. Everybody else was off Yesterday.
Birthdays Today, Fried Green Tomatoes. Actress Mary Louise Parker is
sixty Trump running me jd Vance forty years old. Today
(15:35):
SNL cast member and a personal friend. The funny Victoria
Jackson is sixty five. If it's your birthday, Happy birthday.
We're so glad you were born.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chono. Thanks
for waking up with your morning show. Well, he survived
an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, an ambush in Chicago
at the Black Journalist Convention. He ought to be in
rare form for Friday with forty five an hour three.
We'll have our Friday with forty five segment. The big
(16:07):
story of the day is this prison swap. And listen,
you know you'll play right into the Left's hands if
you act as if you're not grateful that these individuals
are home.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
But was it a fair exchange? Was it a successful
plan of putin? Just take people when you want to
get yours back, so your people get caught killing credit
card fraud, breaking the law, and then to get them back,
you just take some medicin Americans whenever you please. That's
the real question of the hour. And because the left
(16:38):
control is the narrative, they're going to turn around and
make anybody that brings up those concerns look like you know,
they were doing it to Donald Trump yesterday. Oh you
you can't celebrate anything that Joe Biden accomplishes, only if
you accomplish it. Now, the exchange at the White House
was the most embarrassing. A reporter asked the president repeatedly.
(17:02):
Donald Trump said he could get the He could have
gotten the hostages out without giving up anything in exchange,
and then Biden responds, why didn't he do it when
he was president? Well, because if if you include Brittany Grinder,
three of the four were in hostages until Biden was president,
he couldn't. So, yeah, that's a dope for Joe Biden.
Hey it's me Michael. Your morning show has heard live
(17:23):
from five to eight am Central, six to nine am Eastern,
three to six am Pacific on great radio stations like
News Radio eleven ninety k EX in Portland, News Talk
by fifty k f YI, and Phoenix, Arizona Freedom one
oh four seven in Washington, d C. We'd love to
have you join us live in the morning, even take
us along on the drive to work, but better late
than never. Enjoyed the podcast, Thanks for waking up with
(17:45):
your morning show on Michael. You know, we often on
the quarter hours, as we say in the business, we
do the top five stories of the day because we
want you up and want you informed. Unfortunately, the news
cycle is really a narrative, and all too often a
narrative attempting to divert your attention from the real news
that they're suppressing. All right, that's just the tragic reality
(18:07):
of living in the death of journalism. So while we
do the top five stories of the day, I don't
often get a chance to do my top three stories
of the day. Actually I could do five today, but
I don't know how long we can go. So and
I want to start with this first one. Remember from
the very beginning, he said, what the heck happened in Butler, Pennsylvania?
Was that just outrageous poor planning? Was it a personnel
(18:31):
issue communication is or was it something worse? And most
people will never the explore the or Is this something worse.
I found this to be one of the most interesting
stories of the day. The Secret Service and the FBI
(18:51):
respond to the Trump rally video showing the figure running
around on the roof and this is minutes, not just
mere seconds, minutes before gunfire. How could you miss it?
In fact, one of the victims himself didn't miss it
and filmed it. The US Secret Service and FBI on
Thursday responded to a video recorded by James Copenhaber, one
(19:13):
of the victims wounded in the July thirteenth assassination attempt
of Donald Trump, showing an obvious person moving across the
roof of the building gunman Thomas Cook. Shot from the
video that Copenhaveer shared exclusively with Fox News Digital was
(19:34):
taken at six point eight pm on July thirteenth, minutes
before the six to eleven shooting. The Secret Services commented
by saying, we're committed to better understanding what happened before, during,
and after the assassination attempt to former President Donald Trump
to ensure that never happens again. Great statement, and that
(19:58):
includes complete cooperation with Congress, the FBI, and other relevant investigations. Meanwhile,
the FBI told Fox News it's aware of the video,
no further comment. When you see the video, how could
(20:20):
any sharpshooter have not noticed one in about two minutes
a victim would notice bullets coming at him. Not a
lot to talk about that today? Is there, yesterday and again?
And this goes without saying. Anytime you see American hostages
(20:45):
being held captive unjustly return to American soil, that's a
time for celebrating for them, for their family members. Not
necessarily political grandstanding, which is kind of what happened with
Kamala Harris and Joe Biden yesterday, but certainly American celebration. Now,
(21:07):
I was watching CNN, and of course David Axelrod Obama
operative now considered talking head panelist, He's on there saying
Donald Trump is despicable. I mean, this guy, this is
a great American achievement, a great American moment, and he
(21:29):
just can't keep his mouth shut. And I presume that
the left that controls the narrative and the media will
say that about any of us who take any longer
look at this issue other than Biden's the jolly goodfellow.
Let's celebrate Americans their home. But is this really a
(21:51):
Biden victory, and now he's just going to move on
to solving cancer or is it a dangerous precedent done
now at this moment for a political purpose. Listen, whenever
there's a reason we don't negotiate with hostage with terrorists
with hostages, you're putting future American lives in danger once
(22:13):
they know we just take a hostage, then we get
what we want. That's a problem. So anybody who has
a brain wave would be saying, this is a Biden
victory of Putin victory, because we all know what Putin's doing,
just grabbing people, innocent people so he can get his
not innocent people back. This is a Biden victory of
(22:36):
Putin victory. And if Old Joe is so great at
getting hostages back, could he get our hostages back from Israel?
Perhaps before inauguration day. But again, anybody who questions it
will in some way be criticized. No, I'm thrilled there.
(22:58):
Back in fact, I have one other question for the
President and others. Why isn't American teacher Mark Fogel one
of them? Are we allowed to discuss that story that
an American teacher detained in Russia was left behind again
in a prison swap. I don't know what We're gonna
(23:18):
have to really missiles probably to get him back. That's
a question all of us are gonna have to answer
this prison swap. Big political victory for Biden or for
Putin and dangerous precedent, and expect more of it now.
Social media was a buzz with the Biden misspeak, which
(23:44):
forgive me, but it was kind of It's kind of
nice to see old Joe again. He's just kind of
disappeared from the landscape as he so he comes out,
makes his announcement, and then a reporter shouts this as
he's walking off, that.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
He could have gotten that hostages without giving anything in exchange.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
What do you say to that?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
What do you say to president from now?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Why didn't he do? Who he is president? Then he
walks out like it's a big mic travel what didn't
he do when he was president? Because two of the
three weren't detained yet that happened during your presidency? And
if I throw in a basketball player's three out of four,
don't I don't know ran the parade. The timing is interesting,
(24:31):
the exchange a little opsided, and who achieved what yesterday?
I don't think there's any story that got more outrage,
especially on social media, and it really should outrage everyone.
(24:58):
An Italian boxer who has trained her entire life and
made sacrifices to make it to the Olympic Games had
her dreams ended in forty six seconds. Forty six seconds,
that was it because unfortunately a born man who just
(25:18):
now identifies as a woman was her opponent. I don't
want to be dramatic. I just want to cut through
with Angela Karini's own words. I'm heartbroken. I went to
(25:43):
the ring to honor my father. You know, behind every
one of these athletes is an amazing story, right, not
just all the hours alone sweating and working for this moment.
That's the magic of the Olympics. Right, he trained for
four four years. Then you have your moment something you've
(26:04):
done right for four years. Every day something could go
wrong and that's it. Your dream's gone. You gotta do
it in the moment. But you train your dream, you
seek to honor your father and your country, and you
get in the ring and there's a man standing there
(26:24):
because of whatever political correctness and culture is saying today. Now,
first of all, First of all, if I were her father.
I might have jumped in the ring given him a
shot to take on a real man. I mean, that's
a man punching my daughter. One punch presumably broke her nose.
(26:49):
Listen to this next quote. I was told a lot
of times that I was a warrior, but I preferred
to stop for my health. I have never felt upon
like this. I'll never forget the first time I saw
a woman get beat up by a man in a
boxing ring, and she was playing the political correct game
(27:11):
even after the fight. I just have never been hit
so hard in my life. I've never felt punches like that. Yeah,
because it was a man punching you, not a woman.
And here she comes right out saying this Algerian fighter
is not a woman, She's a man. She was born
a man, or is this story would say he has
(27:33):
X Y chromosomes and typical male testosterone in strength. At
what point has this leftist cultural agenda gone mad? And
in the name of the spirit of the Olympic Games,
this is like insanity right before your eyes or his
(27:56):
former President Trump said an embarrassment to the world, and
not a peep from Veep Kamala or President Obama who
support this kind of nonsense. The most troubling story is
so out of the blue you wouldn't even recognize the
story itself, and no one is reporting it. In fact,
(28:21):
I found it buried on the internet and it's footage
obtained showing numerous non citizens. By the way, you got
to say, how nice they're living. They don't live in
the projects and government hwt. It's like a really nice
apartment complex conveniently located in key districts of Georgia. And
(28:43):
a staggering fourteen percent of the non citizens that answered
the door when knocked on or registered to vote. I'll
play it just a little bit. We come from a
company that is dedicated to registering Hispanic people so they
can vote in upcoming elections. Are already registered, We already voted?
Have you already voted?
Speaker 9 (29:03):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Are you a citizen or.
Speaker 11 (29:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Have you already been registered or yeah?
Speaker 11 (29:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Are you a citizen or.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Have you already been registered? At work? Yes? I know
I'm running late, but that's there's three minutes and twenty
six seconds. Again, of the ones that answered the door
and of the ones that spoke, fourteen percent of non
citizens admitted they were either registered to vote or already
voted illegal. That's staggering. And if you bring this video
(29:38):
up or usage suggest that these are illegal votes may
add up to be the difference. And this is just
in one apartment complex in a very key district. Well,
you'll be called an insurrectionist after the fact, but what
about before the fact. Can we talk about it now?
Can we play this audio now?
Speaker 11 (29:58):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:58):
I forgot, I'm the only one playing it. This is
Paul David Patterson down in Toledo District. Belize in my

(30:19):
does this mean I can hit you now a little?
As her response, just try it, mister, just try it.
Don't try that at home. Folks. If a guy hits
a girl on the street, you get arrested. You do
in the Olympics and shatter someone's dreams, that's political correctness
for you. You can't make this stuff up. All right,

Speaker 5 (32:48):
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCall said he was
thrilled Wall Street General reporter Evan Gershkovich and former Marine
Paul Whalen and others were free, but added he's worried
the exchange for Russian prisoners could encourage future hostage taking. Meanwhile,
Republican Senator Todd Young, who sits on the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, said the exchange was not equal. Garrett Haik
has more.
Speaker 10 (33:09):
In the exchange, Russia secured the release of eight people,
the most notable the Dean Krasikoff, a Russian hitman who
is serving a life sentence in Germany for the murder
of a Chechen dissident and what prosecutor said was a
Russian state sanctioned assassination. According to a senior Administration official,
Russia would not agree to a deal that did not
involve Krassakoff.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
The Wall Street Journal says the swap was made at
a Turkish airport and reportedly involves multiple Russians, with Germany
and Belarus playing a part in the deal. I'm Me
