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 (00:18):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
This is your morning show with Michael, Bill Jordan.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Thank you, Mike mccannon. Good morning one and all. Welcome
to Monday, August the fourth. You have our Lord twenty
twenty five on the air and streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show. Honor to serve you.
I'm Michael del Chorno, Jeffrey Servants, all up with Sound Red,
keep an eye on the content of the show. Chris
Walker all things Republican in a moment I'm always talking about.
(00:49):
Can't have your morning show without your voice. Use the
talk back button and we love that. Love to hear
your voice, or somebody like to email. Just got one
from Roy and Youngstown. How are you talking about WKRP
without bringing up the Turkey Drop episode. When you say
best episode ever, you mean maybe best sitcom episode ever.
(01:12):
I save some things for the third hour settle Down.
That will be one of our clips coming up. All right,
it You know, first of all, whenever redistricting happens, and
I think the Democrats I like to call balls and
strikes pretty even, I think the Democrats are worse about
(01:34):
this than Republicans. Both do it, and then when the
other side does it, it's always jerrymandering, and when they're
doing it, it's always proper redistricting. In this particular case,
it is interesting. The design does two things. That one
that's making news because they're making it make news. The
(01:55):
district puts Jasmine Crockett living outside her actual district, and
that's that's pretty significant when the lines are drawn and
you no longer live in the district. Maybe on second thought,
I will run for the United States Senate. But when
you look at it, really the design was to get
the Hispanic vote up because there are more Hispanics.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
So you could.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Almost and I'm not going to do all the talking
because we have a guest here, but you could make
a case. This is a correction of over redistricting in
the past more so than jerry mandering in the present.
Chris Walker is here all things Republican. He's a consultant, analyst,
and a regular here on your morning show. The new
district map in Texas. It's got Democrats fleeing to avoid
(02:38):
a special session vote. Chris, what do you make of
this more the same?
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Well, let's uh, my favorite part of the story is
where the Democrats are fleeing too, Illinois, which has one
of the most serremandered districts in the country. You know,
I mean you look at look at the map of
Illinois and you'll see a a very blue map, which
is not indicative to the state at large. So obviously
(03:05):
Illinois blue state overall, but you know, outside of Chicago,
you still have a pretty you know, conservative Midwestern state.
So I just I find it the height of irony
that the Democrats are escaping to a state that is
doing the exact thing that they're decrying, except just for
the other team.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Well, I hadn't, thank goodness, I hadn't thank goodness. I
had it because I made more than just a I
hit more than just a great congressman. I made a
great friend in Scott des Charlais uh, and we did
redistricting in Tennessee and he was no longer my member
of I mean, redistricting happens. Walk us through the process
of redistricting and why it is done.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Well, you know, every ten years, the census is taken
and we count how many people are in the country,
and uh, you know, we reapportioned based on you know,
kind of the where population moves. So Tennessee, you know,
the growing state. I think we were one little bit
shy of getting in another seat. But you know, places
like Texas and Florida where people are moving away from
(04:05):
get reapportioned, and so you kind of have to kind
of divvy up.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Where population is. Personally.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
For me, I think the whole process needs to be
revisited and we need to be expanding the House. The
original point of the Constitution was to as the country grows,
so is the House of Representatives. And if it means
it's four thousand people, and it so be it. I
think a lot of our kind of federal problems would
be somewhat removed if we actually expanded the House. By
Matt that's an interesting time since the nineteen thirties.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
That is very interesting, and you never hear anyone bring
that up art. So remember our founding fathers had the
branches of government. Everybody has two senators because we're the
United States of America and all states are equal, but
the population is an equal so to represent the people.
That's why we call it the People's House and the populace.
(04:51):
Each state can have more members based on population.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
That was smart too.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
And as you brought up earlier, as they flee California,
as they flee New York State, the electoral college map
is going to change because they're going to lose the
amount of representatives they have, therefore the amount of electoral value,
and then where they go will gain seats. But no
one ever talks about the growing population in general should
(05:17):
change the total number rather than rearrange the total number.
But not rearranging the total number, I will tell you
is another and I think it's one of seventeen very
grim signs for the Democrats in the future. And the
way the Blue states, as it should be in the experiment,
have done far left things that have failed, and people
voted with their feet. It will ultimately block them from
(05:40):
probably being able to win the presidency given another eight years,
and I don't think that there's eight years left in
that party. They'd have a hard time ever winning a
national election just because of the shift in population and
the failures at the state level. But this happens. Redistricting
is supposed to happen, and then whether it's happening fairly
is always in the eye of the beholder, right Well.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
You know, we've seen for a long time, I mean,
goodness gracious to the term jerrymandering is from the eighteen hundred,
So this is not a new phenomenon or a particularly
scandalous phenomenon. It's just, you know, people are trying to
draw the districts to their political advantage. And you know,
Tennessee did that. Tennessee Republicans did that. We picked up
the seat you know in Andy ogles of the redistricting.
(06:23):
And the problem is the Democrats are are upset because
we we're playing by their rules and they're losing.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Right out to a certain degree.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
It's really as simple as that. I mean, you know,
that's a that's a part of the take and I
don't you know, again, my view is, you know, Congress
seems to be the House needs to be expanded dramatically,
and i'd look, we look at take getting rid of
the seventeenth Amendment and have the Senate Senate directly elected
by state legislatures. Again, but that's a whole other conversation.
But you know, from a standpoint of Texas, look, this
(06:50):
is a state that is you know, very red, reliably read,
and they are trying to have their representation based on
what they think their political makeup is, you know, the
population center and everything else that they're they're they're gaining
seats and they're trying to draw map that you know,
accounts for the fact that Texas is absorbing a lot
of Californians and others who were escaping liberalism and moving
(07:12):
to a state that's you know, enforcing law and uh,
you know, securing the border and providing freedom and opportunity
for those who choose to live within its borders.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Visiting with Chris Walker, all things Republican. Now, the Democrats,
because the governor, Governor Abbitt called a special session, they
have fled in numbers to Illinois. That's to avoid a
vote on the redistricting. Now the Governor's threatening felony charges
and or throwing them out. This has been done before,
the fleeing and hiding other states, and it never lasts
(07:44):
very long.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
It never works, you know. And look, you could, you
could call their seats vacated. You could. You know, there's
other things that they could do. I mean, it's a
it's a silly floy you know.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I would, I would, I would.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
I would counsel our Democrat friends to say, go win
some elections in Texas, and you know, start wondering why
you're in such a minority right now. You know, you
could have offerings that would you know, be more aligned
with the general majority of the Texas population. But instead
they've chosen the Jasmine Crocketts of the world and others
to be their Texas voices. And that's being soundly rejected.
(08:23):
And so instead of trying to look inward and adapt,
they are, you know, kind of trying to find red
herrings and escape to other states and escape their constitutional duties.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
So, yeah, will Governor.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Rabbit is a no nonsense governor, and he will, you know,
he will find ways to make sure that this special
session is enacted and things will take place that moves
Texas ahead.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
But you know, the torch has been passed to AOC
at the national level to take the place of Bernie Sanders,
and the new AOC is Jasmine Crockett. So they'll make
Hay with the districting being redrawn and she no longer
even lives in her district as an attack on her
because she's such a great threat. And you know they'll
play this up because many of their party think they're
not fighting hard enough. You brought up something interesting about
(09:05):
having senators returned to being state appointments.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
It's funny.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I always talk about the matrix and what caused the
matrix and how we're stuck in the matrix, and we
really can't solve any util We solve the matrix. But
even in a matrix, the two party system and the
two party stranglehold, which does nothing but create distraction and divide,
is kind of coming to an end of itself on
its own. But the two party stranglehold the one party media,
(09:29):
which is also coming to an end the death of journalism.
One creates distraction and divide, the other creates confusion and mistrust.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
And what do you end up with?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
People focus down the presidency, well, the powerful leader targeting Congress,
and so I came up with my six easy solutions.
A zero based, prioritized balance budget. You could put this
whole thing on autopilot, no continuing resolutions, one budget tied
to the congressional sessions of two years, a flat or
fair at tax system where everybody has skin in the game,
term limits. You could put this thing on autopilot. Only
(10:01):
paper in person voting. And guess what was fifth on
my list? US senators returning to state appointment rather than
becoming the club of one hundred for life, that they've
become great minds to think alike. All right, final thing,
I you know, we did a new research came out
and it really points to the matrix eccess itself and
(10:23):
what it showed was in the old days, we agreed
on the facts. We just disagreed on the solutions or
had different opinions on the same facts. That is shifted now.
The political dysfunction in America is eight and ten don't
agree on the facts, and then two and ten have
different opinions or different solutions.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
This is really.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Troubling, and I think it puts its finger right on
the pulse of the dysfunction we're living in.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Do you sense that being in the business. Yep.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
I mean, you know, we had some prensur for Dendal
last night. We were talking about a lot of different things,
and one of the things that was brought up is
the is the truth is becoming.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Harder and harder to find.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
And you know, that's not.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
It's a bigger that's a very concerning statement, but it
goes into the point of the hyperpartisanship of news coverage
and everything else on both sides, frankly, where people don't
trust the other side to be giving them any kind
of truthful information. And from that perspective, it's becoming an
echo change.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
You kind of live in an echo chamber and you.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Don't really get any other opinions, reviews, and therefore, you know,
it becomes an argument amongst families about whether or not
you're a Republican or a Democrat, and that's unhealthy and
that's something that needs to be addressed. I mean, there's
righteous anger on the right for seeing so much that
that's happened on the left for so long against them,
and you know, so that this is a recalibration on that.
But there's a huge kind of information gap right now
(11:49):
that's happening where you know, having a little bit of
a kind of a cross party discussion is certainly a
helpful way to kind of go about it. And the
hyperpartisanship that we're seeing right now needs to kind of
subsided a little bit and started solving the problems got back.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I mean the den you would the days you would
sit and snap open a paper to see what's going on.
That's over. First of all, papers don't exist. Technologies change.
But I go to Fox to see what is the
establishment Republican parties view of today's top stories. You go
to CNN, or you go to the Washington Post or
your Time, what is the far left's view of what's
(12:24):
happening today?
Speaker 3 (12:25):
But none of them, And.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Buried on both sides, quite frankly, is the respect for
us to decide for ourselves and the easy to find facts,
let alone if you do, are you really getting them?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
And well that's why I say you got to solve
this matrix.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Got to solve this death of journal I never said
death of journalism was a victory for the right.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
I said it was a defeat for the republic.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Well, what's missing in your in the calculus there that
we really want to dig into it another time is
social media and the poisonous.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Yeah, it's no better.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
And that's really where this is coming from. It's not
even the media per se. It's the media being fed
through social media. And you know, kind of this the
ability for just a very very steady, just candy for breakfast,
you know, in a lot of ways in terms of
the news and information that we're getting and social media,
you know, it's an addictive tool to get people to
stay in it, which means it's it's feeding our dopamine
(13:21):
addiction rather than information, and piece of it is a real,
really big piece of it needs to be.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
The social dilemma is what gets us off into our
two extreme bubbles. Then the death of journalism is what
feeds the narratives, and it's all you have is narrative sharing,
not critical thinking, not uh, news consumption and understanding.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
That's how you wake up this morning.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Focus more on a stupid genes ad and not nuclear
SUPs off the coast of Russia too. Don't forget that aspect. Yea,
all things, time goes by so fast. We will talk
again next Monday, Chris Walker, or sooner if conditions warned.
Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
For your time, you you brother?
Speaker 4 (13:57):
How many wait?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chuna.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
The Trump administration pushing plans to end this war in
the Gaza.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Here's the latest with Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
President Trump's Special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Whitkoff,
met with families of Israeli hostages in Tel Aviv on
Saturday and told them in the US has focused on
a comprehensive deal to end the war and return all
of the remaining captives. Witkoff said, President Trump believes that
everybody should come home at once and there should be.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
No piecemeal deals.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
Israeli officials say that fifty hostages remain in Gaza, but
only about twenty are believed to be alive by Mark
Mayfield President Trump.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
The Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is said to speak
any day now.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
That's according to Canadian Trade Minister Dominique LeBlanc, who told
CBS's Faced the Nation that he's optimistic the two countries
can reach a deal to reduce tariffs.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
I think there is an option of striking a deal
that will bring down some of these tariffs provide greater
certainty to investment.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
LeBlanc's comments come after President Trump decided to raise tariffs
to thirty five percent on Canada following weeks of negotiations.
The President cited the fentanyl crisis as a reason for
the terror Pike and Carney's efforts to recognize a Palestinian
state also jeopardized talks.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I'm Lisa Carton, crypto billionaire Justin Sun joined five others
Sundown a little trip to the edge of space.
Speaker 8 (15:18):
They were carried up by Blue Origins New Shepherd craft
launched from the company's West Texas spaceport. It was the
thirty fourth flight for the craft and a big moment
for Son, who was originally supposed to fly on board
the first ever New Shepherd launch in twenty twenty one
after paying twenty eight million dollars in an auction, a
scheduling conflict canceled as plans back then. Other passengers on
the twelve minute flight included an Indian American real estate developer,
(15:40):
a Turkish businessman, a Puerto Rican journalist, an Englishman who
runs an orphanage in Nepal, and an American businessman. I'm
Tammy Truchio, mister Cally.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
A lot of Turkeys don't make it through Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
To some of the calls she had to field after
the Great Turkey Drop. Lonnie Anderson, who played Jennifer Marlowe
UKRP in Cincinnati and the former wife of Burt Reynolds,
has died at the age of seventy nine. She died
in the hospital in LA after battling with a prolonged illness.
According to our publicist, her role in the CBS sitcom
earned Anderson nominations for three Golden Globes and two Emmy's.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Missus Patrick from Christiana, Tennessee. My Morning Show is Your
Morning Show with Michael Bill Jorno.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Hey, it's me Michael. Your Morning Show is heard live
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
five point fifty k FYI, 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
(16:51):
than never. Enjoyed the podcast This is Your Morning Show
for Monday, August the fourth year of Our Lord twenty
twenty five. Some very very good breaking news from Redd.
The Little League World Series regionals begin this week. We'll
know by the end of the week who's headed the
Little League World Series in Westport. And I every year
(17:13):
threaten to go to the Little League World Series, and
I'm threatening again this year.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
That would be a good field trip for the Your
Morning Show team. Get the bus ride. The most wonderful
time of the year is always Christmas and right after
that Little League World Series it's the game at its purest,
all right. The Army is looking at major changes on
the battlefield as it moves away from the hum V.
National correspondent Roy O'Neil is here with the story. Good morning, Rory,
(17:42):
Good morning, Rory.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Hey there, Michael.
Speaker 9 (17:44):
Yeah, it's a fascinating story in USA Today this week,
and that took a real deep dive into the new
vehicle for the Army. It's been forty years since the
debut with a hum V. Now get ready for the
infantry squad vehicle. Essentially, it's a Chef Colorado pickup truck
with some extras.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Well, and that's just a feel extras isle. Well, actually
no doors. It's much more open.
Speaker 9 (18:09):
It's a lot less than you might think, but it's
eighty percent parts you can get off the shelf. And
that's one of the draws here, because having a hum
V was difficult to maintain. Only specialized parts could be used,
so it was a beast to try to deploy in
the field. Whereas they think that these isbs are much
more rapidly deployed, faster in the field, not as cumbersome
(18:31):
as the big old humvy, and probably something that's more
prepared for the battle of the future.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
So how does this transition take place and how long
does it take to have the old hum v's gone
and the new ones in place.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yeah, it's been happening. You know. The one hundred and
first Airborne already has some.
Speaker 9 (18:47):
In fact, they were deployed for the response to Hurricane
Haleen last year. You know, we have about where we
bought about three hundred thousand hum v's in forty years.
There are about one hundred thousand of them still being
used day. But this transition the Army thinks, as it's
been working on this for more than a decade, they
think this is the vehicle we're gonna need, and they're
(19:09):
really seeing it how this could have been effective in
the conflicts ay with Ukraine and Russia. This kind of
vehicle that can work more with technology, rapidly deploy, rapidly redeploy,
and having speed is a big factor here.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I don't think anything demonstrates the divided states of America,
many nations under many gods or no gods, completely divisible
than all the focus on a stupid gene ad while
the President has positioned nuclear subs off the coast of
Russia and nobody talking.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
About it but amen to that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
And then on top of it, now we got the
changing out of the humpies.
Speaker 9 (19:52):
And my thing is like, oh, the liberals, repping ups,
honest to goodness, have been trying to find the liberals
up in arms about the end.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
So you don't think they're they're really out there. I
don't know. I don't know. I think it's half whipped up. Look,
I think it's all, you know, just created in the
ether out there. But boy, well done.
Speaker 9 (20:09):
I'm not even going to say their company, but boy,
they got their money's worth on that end.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
It's certainly, yeah, they did, and it's certain by the way,
can I give a shameless plug to them?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
So I'm you know, I used to.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I don't know what I've wore the most, probably Ralph
Loren Polo jeans or Levi's okay, and then before that,
what's the one that buckle sells? But that all went
out of style, and so I've been just kind of
wavering trying to find a perfect jant Rory.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
I got a pair of those American Eco jeans and
they fit like a glove.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I should have three extra legs, but there's something about
the stretch material. So so this one picked on my
new genes that I love. But it sounds like a
social media thing that's made its way into the news
and politics more than anything.
Speaker 9 (20:53):
And it's an actor show, a hot girl in tight jeans. Well,
it's all about you.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Is there anything more American than that brush shields and
her Jeor dashes Roy? Great reporting as always, We'll talk
again tomorrow. Looking around at the top stories Wall Street
journals covering the Texas Democrats leaving the state playing the
Jerry manderin card. Newsweek is focused on the significant number
of Democrats who view their own party negatively. We broke
(21:19):
that down in the first hour. It's a very significant story.
First of all, this is a party divided by three
about to be divided by four with the birth of
the Islami sect within the party. Of course, no one's
going to be happy. At the same time, unity is impossible,
leadership is impossible. Platform becomes so wide it's impossible. But yes,
(21:39):
if you do a poll, the one third views the
other two thirds as negative, the other two thirds view
that third is negative, and that's where the numbers all
arise from. The most significant was the Pure Research poll,
and it puts its finger on it. Used to be
that we all agreed on the facts. We just had
different opinions or we had different solutions. Now ten US
(22:01):
adults say Republican and Democrat voters not only disagree on
plans and policies, they don't agree on what the basic
facts are. Fox's big story, fan wearing make America Great
Again hat was escorted by security out of an MLS match.
This speaks to something that I think Bill Maher talked
(22:22):
about in his little monologue with the problem at our universities.
They've become all about indoctrination, and the only thing that
isn't diverse is thought. There are so many quick takes
on this. Number One, you're an American who wouldn't want
America to be great again? Why is it when Donald
Trump did make America great again, it's become the great
(22:43):
insurrectionist fascist model. When Ronald Reagan did it, it wasn't
same slogan to different presidents, two different reactions, all right,
So that's number one. A hat that says, literally, make
America great again has nothing to do with America. It
has to do with Trump and that must mean hate
and divisit politics. So they remove the guy. Now, the
(23:05):
other way of looking at the coin is, you know what,
I don't want to go to a soccer game and
see somebody with an abortion shirt on. You know, I
ought to be able to go to the game and
get away from politics. But in the name of that,
they remove this guy. And isn't that a political act?
In removing him? It just shows you how some of
(23:26):
the chaos plays out. And then the guy was willing
to take his hat off and they still wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Let him in. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Maybe time for some Americans or even Trump supporting Saint
Louis people to show this soccer team how they feel
the final take on this is the one that matters
the most.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
This is a team with a terrible record. They should
be focused.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
On talent and winning games, and that you ought to
be grateful anybody's coming to your games the way you're playing,
wearing any hair, including a doctor Seuss hat. And then
I didn't have time to get to this today these
two Cambodia has officially nominated Trump for a Nobel Peace Price.
They had the third country to do so. They joined
(24:11):
Israel in Pakistan. And the Supreme Court may deal Democrats
a huge blow, and this blow could lead to them
having And I walked you through the statistically, as blue
states experiment and fail and people ultimately vote with their
feet and leave, that changes the makeup of Congress, and
(24:32):
it changes the values of the electoral college map, it
shifts with it. And you could make a case that
starting in twenty twenty eight and thirty thirty two, for sure, statistically,
they may never win a national office again. Now I
think the party will be gone by then. But that's
a problem. This Supreme Court blow, it could reshape how
(24:55):
voting maps are drawn and drawn forever. We'll have to
follow that one up maybe in the week with david Sonnati.
Those are just some of the big stories. And then
we lost Lonnie Anderson. Howard Hessman, who played Johnny Fever
has passed. Gordon Jump who played mister Carlson his pass
I don't remember his name in real life, less Nessman,
(25:15):
I know he has passed away, and now Lonnie Anderson.
That makes the only living members is alive. It's Herb
Tarlet that past. Oh I've meant Herbtari, I said last Nessamond,
I'm sorry, Herb Tarlet. Yeah, Herb Tarlet is pasted. Last
Nestmon is still alive, Venus Flight is, Venus Flight, Tripp
still alive, Tim Red is still tim Rid is still alive.
And Bailey, which was Jan Smithers I think smather but
(25:40):
I can't remember what her.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Real name was.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
And we talked about how when we were growing up,
you know, the big one was are you a ginger
Marianne guy?
Speaker 3 (25:48):
And that was always a Marianne guy.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Uh. Then it became there were some that did Marcia Jan.
I never saw that comparison. It was in my group
it was always did you like missus or Marcia?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
And I was a Florence Eders guy.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
And then later in the teen years with WKRP, it
was clearly are you a Bailey person, but we never
said her character. We always said we always called her
Lanie Anderson by her real name, but nobody knew Bailey's
real name, so it's always are you a Lannie Anderson
or a Bailey? And I was always a Bailey. But
this passing has a lot of people are reliving WKRP.
And she's gone at the age of seventy nine. And
(26:26):
I guess that's the first with two more expected speak.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Jesus head. I didn't mean to start anything, you know,
I didn't go into the work like that.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
All right, forty five minutes after the hour, these are
your top.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Five stories of the day. No moron.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Israeli Prime Minister bab Netanye, who is pushing for a
military solution to free the remaining hostages being held by
hamas I suspect in the end. The President may share
that view, but Mark Mayfield has details.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
ABC News, citing an Israeli officials, said that Nettanya, who
is looking at the option as he hasn't been to
find a diplomatic solution to the ongoing hostage crisis. It
is believed there are roughly twenty living hostages still being
held by Hamas I'm Mark Meathhew.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Even President Trump now weighing in on the controversy surrounding
a recent ad campaign featuring Sidney Sweeney.
Speaker 10 (27:13):
Sunday, a reporter stated the actress was a registered Republican.
President Trump chimed.
Speaker 11 (27:18):
In, you'd be surprised at how many people are Republicans.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
That's what I wouldn't have known. But I'm glad you
told me that.
Speaker 11 (27:25):
If Sidney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her
head is fantastic.
Speaker 10 (27:31):
Blusteed reported over the weekend that Sweeney has been registered
to the Republican Party of Florida since last year. The
actress appeared in various American Eagle commercials with the tagline
Sidney Sweeney has great genes as a biology pun. Yeah,
it has sparked criticism online. I'm Rob Bartier. Was that
red stomach gurgling?
Speaker 3 (27:50):
What was that?
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Oh, it's Microsoft. I don't know what that was. I
don't know what that was. Maybe it's in the report.
Bottom line is she's not some Republican hero. She's not,
you know, assistant ad an ad that was overreacted to.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Have you seen her shoot her pistol?
Speaker 1 (28:08):
She has a great shot, which is a sign that
we can confirm she is a Republicani. The federal government
says employers should do more than just trust federal Everify
system when it comes to making sure hires are legally
able to work in the US.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Tammy Trichillo has more.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
After a reserve police officer hired by a main resort
town was arrested by immigration officers late last month. The
Fed say the Old Orchard Beach Police department knowingly hired
and an authorized immigrant and didn't do enough to verify
the man's status. The police department says it used the
Department of Homeland Securities e Verify system. If that's not
good enough, It's not sure what the point of the
(28:44):
system is. I'm Tammy Trihillo.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
So how's it going?
Speaker 8 (28:48):
Oh, the same old thing, answering the phone and fighting
off herb herb ot to be ashamed of himself.
Speaker 6 (28:54):
You know, I'm really getting tired of it.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
He wants to take me to lunch, he wants to
take me to dinner, he wants to take me dancing,
And every time I say no.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
He says, there's yes in my eyes. Do you see
yes in there anywhere?
Speaker 3 (29:12):
I like to vegas?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
No, Lonnie Anderson, who played Jennifer Marlow on WKRP in
Cincinnati and the former wife of Burt Reynolds, died at
the age of seventy nine in a hospital in Los
Angeles after battling a prolonged illness. A role popularized on
the cbssitcom WKRP in Cincinnati earned Anderson nominations for three
Golden Globes and two Emmy Awards.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Well.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Today we celebrate the National Coastguard and it's more than
fifty one thousand members nationwide.
Speaker 6 (29:42):
The Coastguard was commissioned in seventeen ninety by President George
Washington with ten high speed at the time, sailing ships
with armed personnel toin forest tariffs and stop smuggling along
our coasts. Today there's more than two hundred and fifty
super high speed vessels on the water and there is
a Hollywood connection. They count Humphrey Bogart, Walter Cronkite, and
(30:04):
Lloyd and Jeff Bridges as past members. I'm free Tennis.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Well, I've been to a lot of great amusement parks.
We moved here and we made the journey to Pigeon
Forge and went to Dollywood. When the children were very small.
I think it will be as Disneyland and disney World
was to my childhood. It will be the childhood memories
of my kids. The whole area is enchanting. I disagree
with everybody that find it cheesy. There's just something you
(30:31):
know when your hotel is right on a babbling brook
and you can walk and the food is great. But
then there's Dollywood, which is the centerpiece. Could have been Nashville's.
We might add, well, it just got a big award
from trip Advisor. It's the best amusement park in America.
(30:51):
Rob Maartier has more Dollywood. The park co founded My
Country Music Icon. Dolly Parton placed highest in the best
Amusement Park category. Dolly Wood beat out disney World's Magic Kingdom, Disneyland,
and Universal Studios on the twenty twenty five list. Trip
Advisor says the ranking is decided by above and beyond
reviews and opinions from the trip Advisor community over a
(31:12):
twelve month period. When it comes to the best theme
parks globally, Dollywood comes in at number eleven on the list.
The number one theme park on the face of the
planet Ferrari World, Yah's Island in Abu Dhabi.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
I'm Rob Martyr.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Yeah, I think the best billboard campaign I've seen in
a long time.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Just driving along.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Whether it's sixty five or forty here in Nashville and
there's a billboard and you can see the Smoky Mountains
and it says the mountains are calling, and Dollywood is
always calling. Congratulations to Dobby Wood and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
I highly recommend the pancakes.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
It's your Morning Show with Michael del Chno. I'm sitting
here watching Sydney Sweeteye elly organ with her firearm. Wow,
he's not playing around. I think I know the follow
up commercial. If they really want to get the left squirming,
put her in her American Eagle jeans and let her
(32:07):
do some target shooting.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Then they'll really lose their mind.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Fifty six minutes after the hour, Trump and the Canadian
Prime Minister Mark Karney said to talk otherwise, thirty five
percent tariffs are headed Canada's way. Meanwhile, wile we're talking
about gene ads, the President his position nuclear submarines off
the coast of Russia and no one's talking about it.
And Dollywood is the number one amusement park in the US.
(32:31):
Accordeon trip Advisor twenty twenty five. I couldn't agree more.
And we continue to remember Lonnie Anderson, who passed away
at the age of seventy nine. We always say we
can't have your morning show without your voice. Let's start
in Saint Louis. One of my favorite affiliates, The Patriot
in Saint Louis.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Good morning, Michael, love your show, a love your convent.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
He said to you all the time.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Just wanted to point out your minor vaux ball talking
about the twenty twenty eight and thirty thirty two elections.
I believe you probably meant twenty thirty two. Uh huh,
you have a great one, obviously, I meant twenty three.
Did I really say twenty or thirty thirty twenty eight?
(33:15):
I didn't catch it if you did. But they catch everything.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
They catch everything.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Hey listen, I'm only on coffee. What do you expect?
Tom is in North Kenton.
Speaker 11 (33:25):
The news here, the national news at the top and
bottom of the hours, perfect example of the matrix. Say
it's all negative about anything Trump's doing and nothing negative
about the law fair that was put out by Taulca Gabbard.
They they just don't talk about it. I guess it's
(33:46):
all negative for Trump thing.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
My guess is that's probably ABC, isn't. Mike mccannsaying the
birds think your show is worthless? Well, Kathy, it's a
play on words. It's the show that people say it's
for the birds would be negative. You're reverse it, heard
say for the people. Yeah, same neglect. One chance to
live today, Monday, August to fourth. Go make a difference
in someone's life. Make sure you cherish your own.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael ndel Jo
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 (00:18):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
This is your morning show with Michael, Bill Jordan.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Thank you, Mike mccannon. Good morning one and all. Welcome
to Monday, August the fourth. You have our Lord twenty
twenty five on the air and streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show. Honor to serve you.
I'm Michael del Chorno, Jeffrey Servants, all up with Sound Red,
keep an eye on the content of the show. Chris
Walker all things Republican in a moment I'm always talking about.
(00:49):
Can't have your morning show without your voice. Use the
talk back button and we love that. Love to hear
your voice, or somebody like to email. Just got one
from Roy and Youngstown. How are you talking about WKRP
without bringing up the Turkey Drop episode. When you say
best episode ever, you mean maybe best sitcom episode ever.
(01:12):
I save some things for the third hour settle Down.
That will be one of our clips coming up. All right,
it You know, first of all, whenever redistricting happens, and
I think the Democrats I like to call balls and
strikes pretty even, I think the Democrats are worse about
(01:34):
this than Republicans. Both do it, and then when the
other side does it, it's always jerrymandering, and when they're
doing it, it's always proper redistricting. In this particular case,
it is interesting. The design does two things. That one
that's making news because they're making it make news. The
(01:55):
district puts Jasmine Crockett living outside her actual district, and
that's that's pretty significant when the lines are drawn and
you no longer live in the district. Maybe on second thought,
I will run for the United States Senate. But when
you look at it, really the design was to get
the Hispanic vote up because there are more Hispanics.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
So you could.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Almost and I'm not going to do all the talking
because we have a guest here, but you could make
a case. This is a correction of over redistricting in
the past more so than jerry mandering in the present.
Chris Walker is here all things Republican. He's a consultant, analyst,
and a regular here on your morning show. The new
district map in Texas. It's got Democrats fleeing to avoid
(02:38):
a special session vote. Chris, what do you make of
this more the same?
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Well, let's uh, my favorite part of the story is
where the Democrats are fleeing too, Illinois, which has one
of the most serremandered districts in the country. You know,
I mean you look at look at the map of
Illinois and you'll see a a very blue map, which
is not indicative to the state at large. So obviously
(03:05):
Illinois blue state overall, but you know, outside of Chicago,
you still have a pretty you know, conservative Midwestern state.
So I just I find it the height of irony
that the Democrats are escaping to a state that is
doing the exact thing that they're decrying, except just for
the other team.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Well, I hadn't, thank goodness, I hadn't thank goodness. I
had it because I made more than just a I
hit more than just a great congressman. I made a
great friend in Scott des Charlais uh, and we did
redistricting in Tennessee and he was no longer my member
of I mean, redistricting happens. Walk us through the process
of redistricting and why it is done.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Well, you know, every ten years, the census is taken
and we count how many people are in the country,
and uh, you know, we reapportioned based on you know,
kind of the where population moves. So Tennessee, you know,
the growing state. I think we were one little bit
shy of getting in another seat. But you know, places
like Texas and Florida where people are moving away from
(04:05):
get reapportioned, and so you kind of have to kind
of divvy up.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Where population is. Personally.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
For me, I think the whole process needs to be
revisited and we need to be expanding the House. The
original point of the Constitution was to as the country grows,
so is the House of Representatives. And if it means
it's four thousand people, and it so be it. I
think a lot of our kind of federal problems would
be somewhat removed if we actually expanded the House. By
Matt that's an interesting time since the nineteen thirties.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
That is very interesting, and you never hear anyone bring
that up art. So remember our founding fathers had the
branches of government. Everybody has two senators because we're the
United States of America and all states are equal, but
the population is an equal so to represent the people.
That's why we call it the People's House and the populace.
(04:51):
Each state can have more members based on population.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
That was smart too.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
And as you brought up earlier, as they flee California,
as they flee New York State, the electoral college map
is going to change because they're going to lose the
amount of representatives they have, therefore the amount of electoral value,
and then where they go will gain seats. But no
one ever talks about the growing population in general should
(05:17):
change the total number rather than rearrange the total number.
But not rearranging the total number, I will tell you
is another and I think it's one of seventeen very
grim signs for the Democrats in the future. And the
way the Blue states, as it should be in the experiment,
have done far left things that have failed, and people
voted with their feet. It will ultimately block them from
(05:40):
probably being able to win the presidency given another eight years,
and I don't think that there's eight years left in
that party. They'd have a hard time ever winning a
national election just because of the shift in population and
the failures at the state level. But this happens. Redistricting
is supposed to happen, and then whether it's happening fairly
is always in the eye of the beholder, right Well.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
You know, we've seen for a long time, I mean,
goodness gracious to the term jerrymandering is from the eighteen hundred,
So this is not a new phenomenon or a particularly
scandalous phenomenon. It's just, you know, people are trying to
draw the districts to their political advantage. And you know,
Tennessee did that. Tennessee Republicans did that. We picked up
the seat you know in Andy ogles of the redistricting.
(06:23):
And the problem is the Democrats are are upset because
we we're playing by their rules and they're losing.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Right out to a certain degree.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
It's really as simple as that. I mean, you know,
that's a that's a part of the take and I
don't you know, again, my view is, you know, Congress
seems to be the House needs to be expanded dramatically,
and i'd look, we look at take getting rid of
the seventeenth Amendment and have the Senate Senate directly elected
by state legislatures. Again, but that's a whole other conversation.
But you know, from a standpoint of Texas, look, this
(06:50):
is a state that is you know, very red, reliably read,
and they are trying to have their representation based on
what they think their political makeup is, you know, the
population center and everything else that they're they're they're gaining
seats and they're trying to draw map that you know,
accounts for the fact that Texas is absorbing a lot
of Californians and others who were escaping liberalism and moving
(07:12):
to a state that's you know, enforcing law and uh,
you know, securing the border and providing freedom and opportunity
for those who choose to live within its borders.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Visiting with Chris Walker, all things Republican. Now, the Democrats,
because the governor, Governor Abbitt called a special session, they
have fled in numbers to Illinois. That's to avoid a
vote on the redistricting. Now the Governor's threatening felony charges
and or throwing them out. This has been done before,
the fleeing and hiding other states, and it never lasts
(07:44):
very long.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
It never works, you know. And look, you could, you
could call their seats vacated. You could. You know, there's
other things that they could do. I mean, it's a
it's a silly floy you know.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I would, I would, I would.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
I would counsel our Democrat friends to say, go win
some elections in Texas, and you know, start wondering why
you're in such a minority right now. You know, you
could have offerings that would you know, be more aligned
with the general majority of the Texas population. But instead
they've chosen the Jasmine Crocketts of the world and others
to be their Texas voices. And that's being soundly rejected.
(08:23):
And so instead of trying to look inward and adapt,
they are, you know, kind of trying to find red
herrings and escape to other states and escape their constitutional duties.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
So, yeah, will Governor.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Rabbit is a no nonsense governor, and he will, you know,
he will find ways to make sure that this special
session is enacted and things will take place that moves
Texas ahead.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
But you know, the torch has been passed to AOC
at the national level to take the place of Bernie Sanders,
and the new AOC is Jasmine Crockett. So they'll make
Hay with the districting being redrawn and she no longer
even lives in her district as an attack on her
because she's such a great threat. And you know they'll
play this up because many of their party think they're
not fighting hard enough. You brought up something interesting about
(09:05):
having senators returned to being state appointments.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
It's funny.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I always talk about the matrix and what caused the
matrix and how we're stuck in the matrix, and we
really can't solve any util We solve the matrix. But
even in a matrix, the two party system and the
two party stranglehold, which does nothing but create distraction and divide,
is kind of coming to an end of itself on
its own. But the two party stranglehold the one party media,
(09:29):
which is also coming to an end the death of journalism.
One creates distraction and divide, the other creates confusion and mistrust.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
And what do you end up with?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
People focus down the presidency, well, the powerful leader targeting Congress,
and so I came up with my six easy solutions.
A zero based, prioritized balance budget. You could put this
whole thing on autopilot, no continuing resolutions, one budget tied
to the congressional sessions of two years, a flat or
fair at tax system where everybody has skin in the game,
term limits. You could put this thing on autopilot. Only
(10:01):
paper in person voting. And guess what was fifth on
my list? US senators returning to state appointment rather than
becoming the club of one hundred for life, that they've
become great minds to think alike. All right, final thing,
I you know, we did a new research came out
and it really points to the matrix eccess itself and
(10:23):
what it showed was in the old days, we agreed
on the facts. We just disagreed on the solutions or
had different opinions on the same facts. That is shifted now.
The political dysfunction in America is eight and ten don't
agree on the facts, and then two and ten have
different opinions or different solutions.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
This is really.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Troubling, and I think it puts its finger right on
the pulse of the dysfunction we're living in.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Do you sense that being in the business. Yep.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
I mean, you know, we had some prensur for Dendal
last night. We were talking about a lot of different things,
and one of the things that was brought up is
the is the truth is becoming.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Harder and harder to find.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
And you know, that's not.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
It's a bigger that's a very concerning statement, but it
goes into the point of the hyperpartisanship of news coverage
and everything else on both sides, frankly, where people don't
trust the other side to be giving them any kind
of truthful information. And from that perspective, it's becoming an
echo change.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
You kind of live in an echo chamber and you.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Don't really get any other opinions, reviews, and therefore, you know,
it becomes an argument amongst families about whether or not
you're a Republican or a Democrat, and that's unhealthy and
that's something that needs to be addressed. I mean, there's
righteous anger on the right for seeing so much that
that's happened on the left for so long against them,
and you know, so that this is a recalibration on that.
But there's a huge kind of information gap right now
(11:49):
that's happening where you know, having a little bit of
a kind of a cross party discussion is certainly a
helpful way to kind of go about it. And the
hyperpartisanship that we're seeing right now needs to kind of
subsided a little bit and started solving the problems got back.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I mean the den you would the days you would
sit and snap open a paper to see what's going on.
That's over. First of all, papers don't exist. Technologies change.
But I go to Fox to see what is the
establishment Republican parties view of today's top stories. You go
to CNN, or you go to the Washington Post or
your Time, what is the far left's view of what's
(12:24):
happening today?
Speaker 3 (12:25):
But none of them, And.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Buried on both sides, quite frankly, is the respect for
us to decide for ourselves and the easy to find facts,
let alone if you do, are you really getting them?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
And well that's why I say you got to solve
this matrix.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Got to solve this death of journal I never said
death of journalism was a victory for the right.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
I said it was a defeat for the republic.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Well, what's missing in your in the calculus there that
we really want to dig into it another time is
social media and the poisonous.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Yeah, it's no better.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
And that's really where this is coming from. It's not
even the media per se. It's the media being fed
through social media. And you know, kind of this the
ability for just a very very steady, just candy for breakfast,
you know, in a lot of ways in terms of
the news and information that we're getting and social media,
you know, it's an addictive tool to get people to
stay in it, which means it's it's feeding our dopamine
(13:21):
addiction rather than information, and piece of it is a real,
really big piece of it needs to be.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
The social dilemma is what gets us off into our
two extreme bubbles. Then the death of journalism is what
feeds the narratives, and it's all you have is narrative sharing,
not critical thinking, not uh, news consumption and understanding.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
That's how you wake up this morning.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Focus more on a stupid genes ad and not nuclear
SUPs off the coast of Russia too. Don't forget that aspect. Yea,
all things, time goes by so fast. We will talk
again next Monday, Chris Walker, or sooner if conditions warned.
Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
For your time, you you brother?
Speaker 4 (13:57):
How many wait?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chuna.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
The Trump administration pushing plans to end this war in
the Gaza.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Here's the latest with Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
President Trump's Special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Whitkoff,
met with families of Israeli hostages in Tel Aviv on
Saturday and told them in the US has focused on
a comprehensive deal to end the war and return all
of the remaining captives. Witkoff said, President Trump believes that
everybody should come home at once and there should be.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
No piecemeal deals.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
Israeli officials say that fifty hostages remain in Gaza, but
only about twenty are believed to be alive by Mark
Mayfield President Trump.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
The Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is said to speak
any day now.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
That's according to Canadian Trade Minister Dominique LeBlanc, who told
CBS's Faced the Nation that he's optimistic the two countries
can reach a deal to reduce tariffs.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
I think there is an option of striking a deal
that will bring down some of these tariffs provide greater
certainty to investment.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
LeBlanc's comments come after President Trump decided to raise tariffs
to thirty five percent on Canada following weeks of negotiations.
The President cited the fentanyl crisis as a reason for
the terror Pike and Carney's efforts to recognize a Palestinian
state also jeopardized talks.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I'm Lisa Carton, crypto billionaire Justin Sun joined five others
Sundown a little trip to the edge of space.
Speaker 8 (15:18):
They were carried up by Blue Origins New Shepherd craft
launched from the company's West Texas spaceport. It was the
thirty fourth flight for the craft and a big moment
for Son, who was originally supposed to fly on board
the first ever New Shepherd launch in twenty twenty one
after paying twenty eight million dollars in an auction, a
scheduling conflict canceled as plans back then. Other passengers on
the twelve minute flight included an Indian American real estate developer,
(15:40):
a Turkish businessman, a Puerto Rican journalist, an Englishman who
runs an orphanage in Nepal, and an American businessman. I'm
Tammy Truchio, mister Cally.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
A lot of Turkeys don't make it through Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
To some of the calls she had to field after
the Great Turkey Drop. Lonnie Anderson, who played Jennifer Marlowe
UKRP in Cincinnati and the former wife of Burt Reynolds,
has died at the age of seventy nine. She died
in the hospital in LA after battling with a prolonged illness.
According to our publicist, her role in the CBS sitcom
earned Anderson nominations for three Golden Globes and two Emmy's.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Missus Patrick from Christiana, Tennessee. My Morning Show is Your
Morning Show with Michael Bill Jorno.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Hey, it's me Michael. Your Morning Show is heard live
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
five point fifty k FYI, 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
(16:51):
than never. Enjoyed the podcast This is Your Morning Show
for Monday, August the fourth year of Our Lord twenty
twenty five. Some very very good breaking news from Redd.
The Little League World Series regionals begin this week. We'll
know by the end of the week who's headed the
Little League World Series in Westport. And I every year
(17:13):
threaten to go to the Little League World Series, and
I'm threatening again this year.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
That would be a good field trip for the Your
Morning Show team. Get the bus ride. The most wonderful
time of the year is always Christmas and right after
that Little League World Series it's the game at its purest,
all right. The Army is looking at major changes on
the battlefield as it moves away from the hum V.
National correspondent Roy O'Neil is here with the story. Good morning, Rory,
(17:42):
Good morning, Rory.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Hey there, Michael.
Speaker 9 (17:44):
Yeah, it's a fascinating story in USA Today this week,
and that took a real deep dive into the new
vehicle for the Army. It's been forty years since the
debut with a hum V. Now get ready for the
infantry squad vehicle. Essentially, it's a Chef Colorado pickup truck
with some extras.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Well, and that's just a feel extras isle. Well, actually
no doors. It's much more open.
Speaker 9 (18:09):
It's a lot less than you might think, but it's
eighty percent parts you can get off the shelf. And
that's one of the draws here, because having a hum
V was difficult to maintain. Only specialized parts could be used,
so it was a beast to try to deploy in
the field. Whereas they think that these isbs are much
more rapidly deployed, faster in the field, not as cumbersome
(18:31):
as the big old humvy, and probably something that's more
prepared for the battle of the future.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
So how does this transition take place and how long
does it take to have the old hum v's gone
and the new ones in place.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yeah, it's been happening. You know. The one hundred and
first Airborne already has some.
Speaker 9 (18:47):
In fact, they were deployed for the response to Hurricane
Haleen last year. You know, we have about where we
bought about three hundred thousand hum v's in forty years.
There are about one hundred thousand of them still being
used day. But this transition the Army thinks, as it's
been working on this for more than a decade, they
think this is the vehicle we're gonna need, and they're
(19:09):
really seeing it how this could have been effective in
the conflicts ay with Ukraine and Russia. This kind of
vehicle that can work more with technology, rapidly deploy, rapidly redeploy,
and having speed is a big factor here.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I don't think anything demonstrates the divided states of America,
many nations under many gods or no gods, completely divisible
than all the focus on a stupid gene ad while
the President has positioned nuclear subs off the coast of
Russia and nobody talking.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
About it but amen to that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
And then on top of it, now we got the
changing out of the humpies.
Speaker 9 (19:52):
And my thing is like, oh, the liberals, repping ups,
honest to goodness, have been trying to find the liberals
up in arms about the end.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
So you don't think they're they're really out there. I
don't know. I don't know. I think it's half whipped up. Look,
I think it's all, you know, just created in the
ether out there. But boy, well done.
Speaker 9 (20:09):
I'm not even going to say their company, but boy,
they got their money's worth on that end.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
It's certainly, yeah, they did, and it's certain by the way,
can I give a shameless plug to them?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
So I'm you know, I used to.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I don't know what I've wore the most, probably Ralph
Loren Polo jeans or Levi's okay, and then before that,
what's the one that buckle sells? But that all went
out of style, and so I've been just kind of
wavering trying to find a perfect jant Rory.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
I got a pair of those American Eco jeans and
they fit like a glove.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I should have three extra legs, but there's something about
the stretch material. So so this one picked on my
new genes that I love. But it sounds like a
social media thing that's made its way into the news
and politics more than anything.
Speaker 9 (20:53):
And it's an actor show, a hot girl in tight jeans. Well,
it's all about you.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Is there anything more American than that brush shields and
her Jeor dashes Roy? Great reporting as always, We'll talk
again tomorrow. Looking around at the top stories Wall Street
journals covering the Texas Democrats leaving the state playing the
Jerry manderin card. Newsweek is focused on the significant number
of Democrats who view their own party negatively. We broke
(21:19):
that down in the first hour. It's a very significant story.
First of all, this is a party divided by three
about to be divided by four with the birth of
the Islami sect within the party. Of course, no one's
going to be happy. At the same time, unity is impossible,
leadership is impossible. Platform becomes so wide it's impossible. But yes,
(21:39):
if you do a poll, the one third views the
other two thirds as negative, the other two thirds view
that third is negative, and that's where the numbers all
arise from. The most significant was the Pure Research poll,
and it puts its finger on it. Used to be
that we all agreed on the facts. We just had
different opinions or we had different solutions. Now ten US
(22:01):
adults say Republican and Democrat voters not only disagree on
plans and policies, they don't agree on what the basic
facts are. Fox's big story, fan wearing make America Great
Again hat was escorted by security out of an MLS match.
This speaks to something that I think Bill Maher talked
(22:22):
about in his little monologue with the problem at our universities.
They've become all about indoctrination, and the only thing that
isn't diverse is thought. There are so many quick takes
on this. Number One, you're an American who wouldn't want
America to be great again? Why is it when Donald
Trump did make America great again, it's become the great
(22:43):
insurrectionist fascist model. When Ronald Reagan did it, it wasn't
same slogan to different presidents, two different reactions, all right,
So that's number one. A hat that says, literally, make
America great again has nothing to do with America. It
has to do with Trump and that must mean hate
and divisit politics. So they remove the guy. Now, the
(23:05):
other way of looking at the coin is, you know what,
I don't want to go to a soccer game and
see somebody with an abortion shirt on. You know, I
ought to be able to go to the game and
get away from politics. But in the name of that,
they remove this guy. And isn't that a political act?
In removing him? It just shows you how some of
(23:26):
the chaos plays out. And then the guy was willing
to take his hat off and they still wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Let him in. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Maybe time for some Americans or even Trump supporting Saint
Louis people to show this soccer team how they feel
the final take on this is the one that matters
the most.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
This is a team with a terrible record. They should
be focused.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
On talent and winning games, and that you ought to
be grateful anybody's coming to your games the way you're playing,
wearing any hair, including a doctor Seuss hat. And then
I didn't have time to get to this today these
two Cambodia has officially nominated Trump for a Nobel Peace Price.
They had the third country to do so. They joined
(24:11):
Israel in Pakistan. And the Supreme Court may deal Democrats
a huge blow, and this blow could lead to them
having And I walked you through the statistically, as blue
states experiment and fail and people ultimately vote with their
feet and leave, that changes the makeup of Congress, and
(24:32):
it changes the values of the electoral college map, it
shifts with it. And you could make a case that
starting in twenty twenty eight and thirty thirty two, for sure, statistically,
they may never win a national office again. Now I
think the party will be gone by then. But that's
a problem. This Supreme Court blow, it could reshape how
(24:55):
voting maps are drawn and drawn forever. We'll have to
follow that one up maybe in the week with david Sonnati.
Those are just some of the big stories. And then
we lost Lonnie Anderson. Howard Hessman, who played Johnny Fever
has passed. Gordon Jump who played mister Carlson his pass
I don't remember his name in real life, less Nessman,
(25:15):
I know he has passed away, and now Lonnie Anderson.
That makes the only living members is alive. It's Herb
Tarlet that past. Oh I've meant Herbtari, I said last Nessamond,
I'm sorry, Herb Tarlet. Yeah, Herb Tarlet is pasted. Last
Nestmon is still alive, Venus Flight is, Venus Flight, Tripp
still alive, Tim Red is still tim Rid is still alive.
And Bailey, which was Jan Smithers I think smather but
(25:40):
I can't remember what her.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Real name was.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
And we talked about how when we were growing up,
you know, the big one was are you a ginger
Marianne guy?
Speaker 3 (25:48):
And that was always a Marianne guy.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Uh. Then it became there were some that did Marcia Jan.
I never saw that comparison. It was in my group
it was always did you like missus or Marcia?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
And I was a Florence Eders guy.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
And then later in the teen years with WKRP, it
was clearly are you a Bailey person, but we never
said her character. We always said we always called her
Lanie Anderson by her real name, but nobody knew Bailey's
real name, so it's always are you a Lannie Anderson
or a Bailey? And I was always a Bailey. But
this passing has a lot of people are reliving WKRP.
And she's gone at the age of seventy nine. And
(26:26):
I guess that's the first with two more expected speak.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Jesus head. I didn't mean to start anything, you know,
I didn't go into the work like that.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
All right, forty five minutes after the hour, these are
your top.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Five stories of the day. No moron.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Israeli Prime Minister bab Netanye, who is pushing for a
military solution to free the remaining hostages being held by
hamas I suspect in the end. The President may share
that view, but Mark Mayfield has details.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
ABC News, citing an Israeli officials, said that Nettanya, who
is looking at the option as he hasn't been to
find a diplomatic solution to the ongoing hostage crisis. It
is believed there are roughly twenty living hostages still being
held by Hamas I'm Mark Meathhew.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Even President Trump now weighing in on the controversy surrounding
a recent ad campaign featuring Sidney Sweeney.
Speaker 10 (27:13):
Sunday, a reporter stated the actress was a registered Republican.
President Trump chimed.
Speaker 11 (27:18):
In, you'd be surprised at how many people are Republicans.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
That's what I wouldn't have known. But I'm glad you
told me that.
Speaker 11 (27:25):
If Sidney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her
head is fantastic.
Speaker 10 (27:31):
Blusteed reported over the weekend that Sweeney has been registered
to the Republican Party of Florida since last year. The
actress appeared in various American Eagle commercials with the tagline
Sidney Sweeney has great genes as a biology pun. Yeah,
it has sparked criticism online. I'm Rob Bartier. Was that
red stomach gurgling?
Speaker 3 (27:50):
What was that?
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Oh, it's Microsoft. I don't know what that was. I
don't know what that was. Maybe it's in the report.
Bottom line is she's not some Republican hero. She's not,
you know, assistant ad an ad that was overreacted to.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Have you seen her shoot her pistol?
Speaker 1 (28:08):
She has a great shot, which is a sign that
we can confirm she is a Republicani. The federal government
says employers should do more than just trust federal Everify
system when it comes to making sure hires are legally
able to work in the US.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Tammy Trichillo has more.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
After a reserve police officer hired by a main resort
town was arrested by immigration officers late last month. The
Fed say the Old Orchard Beach Police department knowingly hired
and an authorized immigrant and didn't do enough to verify
the man's status. The police department says it used the
Department of Homeland Securities e Verify system. If that's not
good enough, It's not sure what the point of the
(28:44):
system is. I'm Tammy Trihillo.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
So how's it going?
Speaker 8 (28:48):
Oh, the same old thing, answering the phone and fighting
off herb herb ot to be ashamed of himself.
Speaker 6 (28:54):
You know, I'm really getting tired of it.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
He wants to take me to lunch, he wants to
take me to dinner, he wants to take me dancing,
And every time I say no.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
He says, there's yes in my eyes. Do you see
yes in there anywhere?
Speaker 3 (29:12):
I like to vegas?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
No, Lonnie Anderson, who played Jennifer Marlow on WKRP in
Cincinnati and the former wife of Burt Reynolds, died at
the age of seventy nine in a hospital in Los
Angeles after battling a prolonged illness. A role popularized on
the cbssitcom WKRP in Cincinnati earned Anderson nominations for three
Golden Globes and two Emmy Awards.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Well.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Today we celebrate the National Coastguard and it's more than
fifty one thousand members nationwide.
Speaker 6 (29:42):
The Coastguard was commissioned in seventeen ninety by President George
Washington with ten high speed at the time, sailing ships
with armed personnel toin forest tariffs and stop smuggling along
our coasts. Today there's more than two hundred and fifty
super high speed vessels on the water and there is
a Hollywood connection. They count Humphrey Bogart, Walter Cronkite, and
(30:04):
Lloyd and Jeff Bridges as past members. I'm free Tennis.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Well, I've been to a lot of great amusement parks.
We moved here and we made the journey to Pigeon
Forge and went to Dollywood. When the children were very small.
I think it will be as Disneyland and disney World
was to my childhood. It will be the childhood memories
of my kids. The whole area is enchanting. I disagree
with everybody that find it cheesy. There's just something you
(30:31):
know when your hotel is right on a babbling brook
and you can walk and the food is great. But
then there's Dollywood, which is the centerpiece. Could have been Nashville's.
We might add, well, it just got a big award
from trip Advisor. It's the best amusement park in America.
(30:51):
Rob Maartier has more Dollywood. The park co founded My
Country Music Icon. Dolly Parton placed highest in the best
Amusement Park category. Dolly Wood beat out disney World's Magic Kingdom, Disneyland,
and Universal Studios on the twenty twenty five list. Trip
Advisor says the ranking is decided by above and beyond
reviews and opinions from the trip Advisor community over a
(31:12):
twelve month period. When it comes to the best theme
parks globally, Dollywood comes in at number eleven on the list.
The number one theme park on the face of the
planet Ferrari World, Yah's Island in Abu Dhabi.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
I'm Rob Martyr.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Yeah, I think the best billboard campaign I've seen in
a long time.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Just driving along.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Whether it's sixty five or forty here in Nashville and
there's a billboard and you can see the Smoky Mountains
and it says the mountains are calling, and Dollywood is
always calling. Congratulations to Dobby Wood and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
I highly recommend the pancakes.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
It's your Morning Show with Michael del Chno. I'm sitting
here watching Sydney Sweeteye elly organ with her firearm. Wow,
he's not playing around. I think I know the follow
up commercial. If they really want to get the left squirming,
put her in her American Eagle jeans and let her
(32:07):
do some target shooting.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Then they'll really lose their mind.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Fifty six minutes after the hour, Trump and the Canadian
Prime Minister Mark Karney said to talk otherwise, thirty five
percent tariffs are headed Canada's way. Meanwhile, wile we're talking
about gene ads, the President his position nuclear submarines off
the coast of Russia and no one's talking about it.
And Dollywood is the number one amusement park in the US.
(32:31):
Accordeon trip Advisor twenty twenty five. I couldn't agree more.
And we continue to remember Lonnie Anderson, who passed away
at the age of seventy nine. We always say we
can't have your morning show without your voice. Let's start
in Saint Louis. One of my favorite affiliates, The Patriot
in Saint Louis.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Good morning, Michael, love your show, a love your convent.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
He said to you all the time.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Just wanted to point out your minor vaux ball talking
about the twenty twenty eight and thirty thirty two elections.
I believe you probably meant twenty thirty two. Uh huh,
you have a great one, obviously, I meant twenty three.
Did I really say twenty or thirty thirty twenty eight?
(33:15):
I didn't catch it if you did. But they catch everything.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
They catch everything.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Hey listen, I'm only on coffee. What do you expect?
Tom is in North Kenton.
Speaker 11 (33:25):
The news here, the national news at the top and
bottom of the hours, perfect example of the matrix. Say
it's all negative about anything Trump's doing and nothing negative
about the law fair that was put out by Taulca Gabbard.
They they just don't talk about it. I guess it's
(33:46):
all negative for Trump thing.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
My guess is that's probably ABC, isn't. Mike mccannsaying the
birds think your show is worthless? Well, Kathy, it's a
play on words. It's the show that people say it's
for the birds would be negative. You're reverse it, heard
say for the people. Yeah, same neglect. One chance to
live today, Monday, August to fourth. Go make a difference
in someone's life. Make sure you cherish your own.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
