Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
on great radio stations across the country like wilm and
w DOV and Wilmington and Dover, Delaware or wgst AM
seven twenty the voice in Middle Georgia. And we're going
to need some blankets. News Radio six fifty k e
n I, Anchorage, Alaska. We'd love to be a part
of your morning routine. Now enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Well two three starting your morning off right. A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding. Because we're
in Litigi. This is your morning show with Michael Delchoran on.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
The air and on your iHeartRadio app everywhere. This is
your morning show on Michael del Jorner. Welcome to Monday,
August the fifth, twenty twenty four. Tropical storm now Hurricane
Debbie has made landfall in Florida's Big Ben huge sell
off Friday. Now futures point to a brutal day on
Wall Street ahead, and the Biden administration is continuing its
push for a cease fire deal as Israel and faces
(01:03):
an attack expected in the next twenty four hours from
Iran and Hesba Llah. Tensions in the Middle East, a
proxy war about to be a direct war. And don't
forget these two are a proxy for a world war.
Much to be on your knees praying about me and
while Vice President Harris is within forty eight hours of
naming her running mate, although one may have already named himself,
(01:26):
Arizona Senator Mark Kelly with a cryptic post on social
media saying, whether it was the Air Force, whether it
was NASA, or as a senator or whatever, what America
calls for me to serve. My answer is always yes,
so is Mark Kelly the choice. We'll we find out
(01:46):
today or tomorrow that all remains to be seen. And
the United States has really pulled away with its dominance
in Paris, now seventy two overall medals. Let me look
real quick, who is now the next closest, just to
show you how dominant this has become. As we head
into track and field week two, which we'll get even
more so, next in line is China with forty nine. France,
(02:08):
the home country, has now fallen to third with forty four.
So as you can see, we've got a twenty three
metal lead. I do my math right, Yeah, twenty three
metal lead over the next nearest country seventy two total medals,
nineteen gold. Actually we just fell behind China. China has
two more goals now, so we're two back on gold.
But seventy two total medals, nineteen gold, twenty seven silver
(02:33):
and twenty six Bronz. Sor ry time for Sounds of
the Day. Before I do Sounds of the Day, can
I do a Sight of the day for sure? I
don't know if it's his platform X, but out of
everybody on X, the one that I enjoy and follow
and enjoy the post most of it is the owner
(02:54):
Elon Musk and I love this one because we always
talk about memes and a sea of a and a
sea of noise or voices. Memes are just kind of
There's a scene in Bruce Almighty. You find out later
that God is Morgan Freeman. Not really in Hollywood. Don't
get scared, but what you realize as it was Morgan
(03:17):
Freeman all along during the movie. That was the homeless
guy in the street holding up different signs and messages.
That's what this, that's what memes have become. I've often said,
you know, because my kids want me to write another
book about our family, and my notion is to just
(03:38):
every year publish the top three hundred and sixty five
memes of the year, because they would tell you the
true story of that year. Everything you lived in the
moment is some revision of history or revision of reality.
(03:59):
It's not real. That's how nineteen eighty fourish we're living.
I mean, we're more orwellian than reality. But these memes
(04:20):
are always there to say the truth. And this one
is one of the most truthful you will ever hear.
And it sounds like a general statement, and it is
a condition a reality. It's actually quite biblical, but it
is the explanation for everything that we're dealing with and
(04:43):
why hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times.
Good times create week men. Weak men create hard times.
(05:11):
I mean, I saw this. David Snatti, who's a regular
on the show The Public Square, does a once a
year Christmas in America, and the goal is very simple,
find the Manger in real time or in any time.
That's a challenge, and it's an easy challenge to find
if you look for it every Christmas, unless you just
(05:33):
did it for the gifts and for Santa. And they
were exploring the year when the depression was going on
and One of the great lessons of that Christmas in
America is if you don't have that generation that lived
through the depression, you don't have the greatest generation that
(05:55):
can liberate the world. It was that depression generation that
created the men who save the world. To Elon Musk's meme,
hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times
that unfortunately, good times create weak men. Bill Clinton was
president over a very good time and we became a
(06:16):
very materialistic, selfish, weak generation based on the hard work
of Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, nude, gingrich, bipartisan. So yeah,
this is a statement of truth. That's also our only
hope we have today. All right, well, you definitely headed
(06:37):
for some more rough times. It looks like maybe that'll
create some strong men that can create. And by the way,
men is in, I would think mankind that'll be next
to going to attack for this, right, because they're saying
men not women. I don't think it's making a generalization
about sex as much as mankind, or I hope it isn't.
All right, So I did find that commercial. Now bear
(06:59):
with the audio. This is our sounds of the day.
This is the Kamala Harris commercial that ran often during
the Olympics. While I was watching it's actually not even
it's saying won't give me the list of who it is.
But when I was watching it live, it said paid for.
Maybe it'll say it at the end. I'll but bear
with it because it's just somebody recording their television. So
(07:21):
it's not gonna be the greatest audio. But the content
is what I want you to hear. This is Kamala
Harris for President's commercial that ran during the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Listen for America, where the economy works for working people,
where you only have to work from horn.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Jobs to pay the bills.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
There warned, We're reproductive rights are not just protected.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
By the Constitution of the United States, but guaranteed in
every state. Is that, Ali Hi? I believe in a
doctors responsible for the content.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yes, I don't know what FF is, so I don't
think this is actually being paid for by Harris for Presidents.
The three hundred million dollars don't even spend their money
yet because they're probably spending it on people on boots technology.
But think of that, all right, So now the point
of this commercial is twofold one. If you're the vice
president in the Biden Harris administration, you preside over the
(08:23):
very thing you're describing as the problem. So they created
this economy, they created this inflation, they've created these high
interest rates, they've created this suffering as they're running to
solve it. Now, if you knew how to solve it,
why did you create it? And why when't you solve
(08:45):
it while you're in leadership already, you're already elected, and
you're not solving it? Starting with the border that she
was the Tzara. So I would think this is a
tough commercial to sell to people unless you're more into
what we call store relnes than reality, feelings more than facts,
(09:07):
which at this point the campaign, there may be a
lot of but it won't last because sooner or later
I say that I'm editing myself because well, Donald Trump
is said I'll do a debate, but I won't do
it on ABC. Then Kamala Harris comes back and says, well,
I'll do a debate, but I won't do it on
Fox sor Right now, we got to find a place
(09:28):
other than assuming it's just those two, other than ABC
or Fox, or we may not have a presidential debate
in this case, Donald Trump succeeded greatly by not being
involved in any of the primary debates. He needs to
debate Kamala Harris. She will hang herself. That's how she
hung herself in the twenty twenty primary, accusing her president
(09:52):
of being a racist, and then my favorite, Telsea Gabbard
taking her out at the knees in a debate, and
she was out of the in a week. But there's
a commercial and anybody can say, I'm going to make
your groceries less, I'm gonna make your gas less, I'm
going to make the sun come out every day. It's
(10:13):
going to be seventy two degrees every day. Your life
is going to be great. Elect me. Okay, well, how
are you going to do it? She got to ask
that question, and here's how it sounded.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
What else are you going to do to fix this
problem with impleation?
Speaker 6 (10:26):
I thank you.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Well, let's start with this. Prices have gone up.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
And families and individuals are dealing.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
With the realities of.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
That bread costs more, the gas costs more, and we
have to understand what that means. That's about the cost
of living going up. That's about having to stress and
stretch limited resources. That's about US source of stress for
families that is not only economic, but is on a
(11:04):
daily level something that is a heavy weight to carry.
So it is something that we take very seriously, very seriously,
and we know from the history of this issue in
the United States that when you see these prices go up,
it has a direct impact on the quality of life
for all people in our ca.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
When you don't have an answer to the question, spend
a minute and five seconds on a word salad describing
the question. Again, that's the real Kamala Harris, who's a
part of the administration that has created these problems, versus
the Kamala Harris reading a script in this commercial.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
For America where the economy works for working people, where
you only work.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
One job to pay the bills and reducing right just.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
Protective by the constitutions they were guaranteed in every state.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Unbelieving so well, America's shop real character, real leadership, real answers,
real solutions, or will they fall for Hollywood created scripts?
Now this Sound of the day just shows you how
delusional they've become, how gaslighted they think you are. Now,
(12:33):
not only is it a scandal how they did a
shadow campaign to save the democracy, weaponizing COVID and hiding
a c now old man in a basement. But then
this vice president now presidential candidate, and this media that
just chased him off hid it scandalously all this time
instead of that being discussed, and how they're ready to
(12:56):
put him on Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
So he wasn't a good place to make whatever decision
at the top of his game. Such a consequential president
of the United States, a Mount Rushmore kind of president
of the United States wants to know what's next that
he belongs up there on Mount Rushmore. Lincoln and Joe Biden.
(13:18):
But you've got Teddy Roosevelt up there and he's wonderful.
I don't say take him down, but you can add Biden.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
So he was that's Nancy Pelosi, not even unless he's
stall at sixty minutes? Is by that? Are you serious?
You want to put Joe Biden next Abraham Lincoln. I'm
surprised you didn't say what I would have said next
to George Washington. Seriously, but don't you brought it up
next to Teddy Roosevelt. Seriously. Our last out of the
day is abute. It's worth it. Trust Vanda, We're going
(13:45):
to be a minute late. Kamala Harris is fifty percent
Indian from South India at fifty percent Jamaican, which probably
makes her about seventy six percent African American. Who cares,
But they would love to continue this argument that way.
(14:05):
You're not asking her questions like what are you going
to do to solve inflation and high interest rates in
the economy and the border. But who sat around the
conference room table and said, well, let's show how Kambala
is suddenly black and help with all the loss of
black vote. Let's send her out this weekend to a
record store. And then when the media asks her what
(14:26):
did you buy? What did you buy? She'll hold up
a bunch of black artists. Not only did somebody say
that at a conference room table someone wanting your vote.
Let me refresh your memory, Marcus crashing. Unemployment is up,
inflation is steady, wages are stagnant, the borders in crisis.
(14:50):
We've got a fedanyl crisis, and we got a ron
getting ready to bomb Israel. You have a very serious
decision to make for your time and for all time.
And the main candidate for the Democrats after their little
party and mainstream media coup. It is playing prop games
(15:14):
outside of record stores.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
So okay, So you know.
Speaker 7 (15:23):
Bersville Charlie Vengus really is one of the greatest dads,
one of them.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
One of my favorite albums of all times, Roy Airs,
Everybody Loves Sunshine. You know this? You know this is
so good? Everybody right, and this is a beautiful Minesela.
I'm strong.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
You live in perhaps building to be one of the
most serious moments in human history. I am just a
human events tour guide, but you're not for the moment.
And we're walking, We're walking.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chona, your.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Top five stories of the day, waking up. In fact,
this report of wone is enough to make a give
up on following politics. Here's Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 8 (16:18):
Republicans are defending Donald Trump's comments questioning Kamala Harris's race.
In an interview with ABC's This Week, Florida Congressman Baron
Donald's called it a phony controversy, but went on to
say her presidential campaign is now talking much more about
her black identity.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
Like this is really a phony controversy. I don't really care.
Most people don't. But if we're going to be accurate,
When Kamala Harris went into the United States Senate, it
was AP that says she was the first Indian American
United States Senator.
Speaker 8 (16:44):
This Week host George Stephanopolis pressed Donald's over why Republicans
continued doubting Harris's black identity, noting she is biracial. Trump,
during an interview with the National Association of Black Journalists
last week, claimed Harris had turned black after identifying only
as Indian for years, and the Biden administration and is
continue we pushed for a seasfireing deal between Israel and
Hamas amid rising tensions in the Middle East in an
(17:06):
interview with ABC's This Week, where House Deputy National Security
Advisor John Finer said that a seesfire on Gaza is
priority number one in the conflict.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
That's politics. Mark Mayfield, NBC News Radio, Well, all that
nonsense is going on. Ron's getting ready to attack Israel
along with hesper Law. We've got a hurricane that's come
ashore in Florida and the market finding to crash some
more today. Hey, it's me and Michael. You can listen

(17:35):

nine Eastern on great radio stations like Talk six fifty

Saint Louis had Impact Radio one oh five nine and
twelve fifty w h d Z in Tampa, Florida. Sure
hope you can join us live and make us a
part of your morning routine. In the meantime, enjoy the
podcast This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Journal
(17:57):
on the Earn, streaming live on your iHeartRadio app if
you're just waking up. Tropical storm Now, Hurricane Debbie has
made landfall in Florida's at this Big Bend area. Huge
Stella Friday will now be followed by, according to the futures,
a brutal day on Wall Street. President Biden continued to
push for a cease fire deal. Somebody out a brief, Joe. Meanwhile,
(18:19):
Iran and Hesvela are planning an attack on Israel within
twenty four hours. Blincoln met tried to take a last
ditch diplomatic effort. Now you've got to just hope they
talked Iran into doing something more symbolic than really deadly
and or inciting. This is a proxy war threatening to
(18:42):
be a direct war between Israel and Iran, Judaeo Christianity
and Islam in the epicenter of the world. Got a
lot of on our plate this morning. We're dealing with Meanwhile,
Team USA continues to dominate the world. Now we entered
today eight tied with the most gold medals. Nobody's even
(19:03):
within twenty something metals of US in overall metal counts.
So we continue to dominate as we headed to track
and field. So many great and memorable moments throughout this
Olympic Game. The question is has America been watching? And
the answer is, Aaron Rayale, good morning.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Yes they are. We are watching. We are watching on
all different platforms and know who's winning NBC.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
As a result.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
So I'll just give you the numbers, beginning with the
opening ceremonies, which were heavily watched. Twenty eight million viewers
watching that profession down the Sun River, compared with twenty
six excuse me, seventeen million at the Tokyo Games, which
was back comparison because like, yeah, no one went to that,
no one watched that, fans weren't allowed, but Rio had
twenty five, so we still beat that point being if
(19:44):
you look at the daily average combining daytime and primetime coverage,
thirty million viewers. It's up eighty percent from the Tokyo Olympics.
NBC Sports released those numbers. NBC comcasts Universal. They are
doing very well with their streaming, with their audio. NBC
News Radio working with iHeart to distribute that.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
They're working in the hills. What radio group are they
working hand in hand with to bring these games in
the Oh, that would be iHeart, that would be our employer.
Speaker 10 (20:15):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
And also this is important. You know, they have a
lot of you can watch this everywhere, which is great,
but they have a lot of celebrities, a lot of personalities,
and that has really helped. And whether it be the
fact that Paris is gorgeous and the time difference isn't
that bad in terms of like Tokyo, it's very hard
to watch. It's literally the other side of the planet,
a different day, but you know, five hours ahead, isn't
(20:39):
that that brutal at all. So it's gorgeous, it's easy
to watch, and it's soul affirming. It is amazing to
watch people at the very top of what they do
do it better than anyone else in the world.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
It's exciting and there's been I mean, this would be
the Olympic Games that I discovered women's rugby, which has
been a real highlight for me. What a great sport.
But you know, I'll think of sim Own Biles in
the US gymnastics team. The dominance of the men and
women in basketball we can run down. I'll tell you
the one that registered this weekend was Scotti Scheffler. And
I love this because, well, what's the big story in golf, right?
(21:10):
It's all about money. That's all they care about. That's
why the half of them split and went to the
Live Tour. Well, here's something where the greatest golfers in
the world gather in France and they don't make a dime.
They're playing for their country and for pride. And I'll
tell you seeing the number one in the world Scotty Scheffler,
and nobody makes more money than Scotty Scheffler. And when
he's sitting through the playing of the national anthem with that,
(21:33):
you know I was joking earlier. Two things about Scotty Schffler.
He has a forty eight year old man's face, out
a twenty something year old golfer. It just it just
is it looks like an older face. He never shows
any emotion. I mean, to be that great and to
be so emotionless about it. And there he is and
the playing of the national anthem, still showing no emotion.
You can see his lips moving to the words of
the song. And then he gets to that final verse
(21:56):
and something and a snap breaks and you see this
man break out into weeping. It's just I mean, that's
what it's all about. And then I tried to out
of love for you, I tried to watch an equestrian event,
and then that a debate broke out. My son doesn't
think that you the riders deserve any credit. If you've
(22:18):
got a good horse, you win. If you don't have
a good horse, you lose. The horse knows when to jump.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Can I tell I'm gonna speak to your son. Your
son is not incorrect. He is actually like, like, yes,
the horse matter. It's like like, yes, you have to
know what you're doing. But outside of that, your horse
is what matters.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Somebody as Pete rose, what's the key to being a
great manager? He goes, So that's simple. Great players you can,
but there's been so many. There's been so many great
Olympic moments. These people train all year all their life,
all year long for four years, and then they have
their one moment in time, and you know, anything can
happen in that moment, and to see them come through
(22:57):
and the dominance that we're having, or maybe the wishful
hope will stop fighting with each other at home over
politics and unite to fight others. In sports, there's been
you know, the opening ceremony had some controversy. Boxing female
boxing had some controversy, but all in all, it's been
a great game. I would love I would be very
interested to know the difference between the daytime Nielsen audience
(23:19):
and the prime time and there's advantages to book. For me,
I can't watch in primetime. It starts right about my bedtime.
It's nice when you're watching gymnastics because they cut out
all the waiting. But to have the opportunity like Paris
six hours ahead, for people like me to watch it
during the day the rest of America to get home
from work and watch it in primetimes it is a
(23:40):
recipe for success. It does work best.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
That way because and then also like They've brought in
all these celebrities, and I think they've done.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
A good job.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
Like if you look at like the Gold Zone on
Peacock that shows multiple live sports at once, and it's
led by Scott Hansen of the NFL's Red Zone in
a very similar format. But that's been a big hit,
as has the Watch Along Show by Alex Cooper. Alex
Cooper is the host of the wildly popular podcast Call
Her Daddy. So I think that it's like what NBC
(24:07):
Universe no smart, yes, very.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Let me tell you my brother. My brother's always been
a big you know, he buys the NFL package so
he can watch the Saints whether they're on TV or not,
and other favorite teams like the Lions. For me and Nick,
we discovered Red Zone. I don't it's been about eleven
years ago, and I'm telling you it is so it
speaks so to our culture today. I mean, you know,
(24:31):
the phones have trained us to get everything immediately. It's
trained us to get everything. That's why either the reels
do well TikTok to us. Well, nobody has an attention
span beyond fifteen seconds anymore. So, but when you're watching
Red Zone, I mean we flick it on at noon,
Scott comes on and says, here we go, you know,
and you don't turn it off. I can't watch a
single game anymore. And for somebody to have the smart
(24:54):
idea at a conference room table, why don't we do
the Gold Zone. In fact, let's get Scott Hansen from
the Red Zone to host it. Yeah, to me, it
was a snoop. I don't get. I don't think anybody
gets with snoops. He's become a mascot Team America.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I don't care if John Travolta. Yeah, I don't care
if John Travolta or Tom Cruise is in the thing.
But I you brought up the one. I thought gold
Zone was brilliant. And I don't get that other one
because I don't follow that podcast. But gold Zone that
was smart, very smart.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
Right, And let me tell you about it.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
She's wildly popular.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
I think she is the second most popular podcast after
Joe Rogan. And it's also totally different demographic than would
honestly be turning tuning into this and so like now
they're like it doesn't and listen. Whatever executive was like, hey,
this one's popular.
Speaker 8 (25:40):
Can we loop her?
Speaker 5 (25:41):
And yes, It doesn't matter if you're a fan or not.
She has millions and millions of fans that otherwise wouldn't
be that into it, but she's pushing them. Yes, it
like across the board, red zone into gold zone, into
Alex Cooper.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Yes, it was well played.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Can I can I end with this? Saron? It doesn't
hurt to be winning a lot?
Speaker 2 (25:59):
No, it is not.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Everybody loves the winter, don't they. All Right, So the
Olympic Games. Very successful for Team USA athletes and very
successful for NBC Comcast. Appreciate the reporting. We'll talk again tomorrow.
Thanks every day, Aaron Rayale. Your morning. Joe Matlors ponders,
all right, top five stories of the day. A reminder,
(26:21):
this election is about us, we the people. I remind
you because after you listen to this Road to the
white House report, you will need to remember that because
those that are running don't Road to the White House.
Twenty twenty four.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
Republicans are defending Donald Trump's comments questioning Kamala Harris's race.
In an interview with ABC's This Week, Florida Congressman Byron
Donald's called it a phony controversy, but went on to
say her presidential campaign is now talking much more about
her black identity, Like this.
Speaker 9 (26:49):
Is really a phony controversy. I don't really care. Most
people don't. But if we're going to be accurate, when
Kamala Harris went into the United States Senate, it was
ap that says she was the first Indian American United
States Senate or Trump, during.
Speaker 8 (27:01):
An interview with the National Association of Black Journalists last week,
claimed that Harris had turned black after identifying only as
Indian for years. And Kamala Harris interviewed three candidates on
Sunday to be your running mate, Senator Mark Kelley of
Arizona and Governors Tim Wallas of Minnesota and Josh Shapiro
of Pennsylvania. I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
But then Mark Kelly went ahead and got on social
media saying, you know, whether it was the military, the
Air Force, NASA space, our bigger United States Senator, whatever
my country calls, I always respond with the yes. So
has he been offered and said you did? He just
(27:38):
let the cat out of the bag real. Meanwhile, already
on the ticket, Ohio Senator jd Vance is defending his
place as a running mate of Donald Trump. In an
interview with Fox New Sunday Morning Futures. Vans was asked
about criticism that he's a bet, a poor choice for
Trump as a VP nominee.
Speaker 10 (27:54):
Look, I recognize that there are a lot of folks,
even in the GOP establishment. It's certainly on the far left,
who don't like the fact that Donald Trump picked me.
I actually take their criticism as a badge of honor.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
I argue that the media, of course, is going to
attack people that they fear the most.
Speaker 10 (28:08):
And I don't come from inside the Beltway. Marie, you know,
I grew up as a poor kid. I didn't come
from a political family or a wealthy family. I worked
my way through college, through the Marine Corps, eventually landed
as Donald Trump's running mate.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Dan said the campaign is running an opposition of Washington insiders,
not to mention the media itself as a nominat.
Speaker 10 (28:28):
I'm not shocked that a lot of inside the Beltway
media types don't like me, but their policies are the problem.
Of course they don't like me, because we're running to
fix what.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
They have broken now the current vice president. By the way,
I may add, without a single primary campaign event, without
a single primary debate, without a single primary interview without
a single primary vote by a citizen, Kamala Harris secured
enough delegates to be the nominee over the weekend, and
(28:58):
today or tomorrow she will pick her unning mate. She
also launched a Republicans for Harris group, which boasts endorsements
because every joke deserves a punchline from such Republican greats
like Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh. Thought it was the Eagles,
Joe Walsh, Yeah, now you'd be talking. Or how about
(29:20):
Connecticut Congressman Christopher Shay That makes all the difference. Or
Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld or former New Jersey Governor Christine
Todd Whitman. Just a who's who of right greats. While
they're done attacking Joe Biden. They got their way, they
(29:41):
removed the old trojan horse. So now they're back to
attacking Donald Trump. So I'm sure they're thrilled with this story.
The Trump federal election interference case is headed back to
court on August sixteenth. Scott Carr from Washington has more.
Speaker 11 (29:55):
US District Judge Tanya Tutkin resumed control of the case Friday,
then issued in orders Saturday denying Trump's motion to dismiss
the federal criminal charges brought by Special counsel Jack Smith.
The case was on hold during the appeals process, where
it's culminated in a sweeping US Supreme Court ruling that
said presidents are immune from any criminal prosecution when carrying
(30:17):
out official acts. Now, Judge Chuckin will have to decide
if Trump can be prosecuted for his alleged efforts to
overturn the outcome of the twenty twenty election. A trial
in the case is not expected now until after this
year's presidential election.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I'm Scott Carr in Washington. Dead Pool and Wolverine took
the gold at the box office this weekend's keeping with
her Olympic theme, the Marvel Studio took in ninety seven
million dollars of to Mexican domestic box office in its
second weekend. That's good enough for eighth biggest second weekend ever.
Twisters took silver and the bronze went to m Night
Chamalan's Trap. Speaking of the real Olympics, the team USA
(30:55):
seventy two total medals right now leads the world nineteen goal,
twenty seven silver, twenty six bronze. In baseball, d backs,
raising NAT's One, Guardians, Rangers, Mariners and Cardinals all lost.
Speaker 8 (31:09):
I'm Jeff Eddie with Efficient Haiti and Cooling, and my
morning show is your Morning Show with Marcall Bill Giorda.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Tropical Storm Debbie became Hurricane Debbie and then has made
landfall in Florida's Big ben which means I'm guessing a
lot of moisture in the future for Tallahassee on through
to Jacksonville, roy O'Neil of course, in the Great State
of Florida outside standing in the rain to do our
report this morning, Rory, are you safe?
Speaker 12 (31:36):
I am, yes, luckily in central Florida. Just some squally weather,
nothing too dangerous. But the problem with this storm in
particular is in body but the flooding that's going to
be happening all week long, especially in places like Charleston,
South Carolina, all the way up to Myrtle Beach, Savannah,
Georgia as well. Those are places that could be getting
more than a foot of rain because now that Debbie
(31:58):
has come ashore in Florida's Big Bend, it's going to
start to move inland a little bit more and then
just sort of hang out there for days and days
and days and that's.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Problem that can be just as deadly as storm surgeon wind.
All right, so my wife watches a lot of Weather Channel,
then gets yourself, you know, all frothed up in fear,
calls my friend Joe Vig and Tampa. You know, are
you sure you're okay? Is everything okay?
Speaker 10 (32:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:19):
It just com picked from golfing. It just started ringing,
you know. But by yeah, talent iron talent woms the
weather channel.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Oh yeah, but but I mean the stalling and the
flooding could become a problem. Oh. Here's another sign of
the times too, uh, and that is America's renter population
growing three times faster than its homeowner population. That's an
economic hurricane to bruin.
Speaker 12 (32:42):
Yeah, it is a big storm out there, and it's
been brewing for a while. A one point nine percent
growth in the percentage of renter households in the second quarter.
Compare that to six tenths of a percentage point growth
in homeowner households. That's the smallest increase in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Uh.
Speaker 12 (32:59):
The numbers are just whack and it doesn't really take
a brain surgeon to figure this one out. Here's one
data point that should explain everything right now, Mortgage payments
are up ninety I know, ninety percent from before the
pandemic for a mortgage payment.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
We can't put any spit on that. That's just that's
breath tiving there you go.
Speaker 12 (33:20):
I mean, renting costs are up twenty three percent, so
that's not nothing but ninety percent for a mortgage payment.
And look, because of the recent collapses on the stock market,
maybe more today, we have seen mortgage rates fall significantly
below six and a quarter now. But I think everyone's
also on the sidelines waiting for further rate cuts from
the Fed.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Hopefully that would impact mortgage rates as well. So, I mean,
we have a huge inflation expense, but we have a
border in housing crisis, don't we.
Speaker 12 (33:49):
Well, yeah, and we've been seeing this surge in multi
family housing. That's the other reason rents are stabilizing a
little bit is because we're bringing on more than a
half a million, about six hundred thousand rental units this year,
so that's a strong number. But single family housing is
not keeping up with the demand. And again a lot
of people feel that, Look, I don't want to give
up this three percent rate I got back in two
(34:10):
thousand and nine, and they don't want to move well doubling.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
You know, it's such a three three obvious answers that
you know, people are always trying to say something new
and you're just getting further away. We need interest rates
to come down. Why because that's going to release people
with homes that have appreciated in value, because we need
those homes on the market for inventory. We also need
to desperately build new homes and that's not happening. But
(34:37):
interest rates falling that will allow the baby boomers that
are hanging on to their homes to sell them. But
at some point the ripple effects of this are going
to be felt for decades. But yeah, it's official. We
now have a housing crisis, just like a boarding crisis,
a border crisis. In the American runner population is going
three times as fast as home ownership, which.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
May be a dream getting out of reach. Great reporting,
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael del Journo
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
on great radio stations across the country like wilm and
w DOV and Wilmington and Dover, Delaware or wgst AM
seven twenty the voice in Middle Georgia. And we're going
to need some blankets. News Radio six fifty k e
n I, Anchorage, Alaska. We'd love to be a part
of your morning routine. Now enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Well two three starting your morning off right. A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding. Because we're
in Litigi. This is your morning show with Michael Delchoran on.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
The air and on your iHeartRadio app everywhere. This is
your morning show on Michael del Jorner. Welcome to Monday,
August the fifth, twenty twenty four. Tropical storm now Hurricane
Debbie has made landfall in Florida's Big Ben huge sell
off Friday. Now futures point to a brutal day on
Wall Street ahead, and the Biden administration is continuing its
push for a cease fire deal as Israel and faces
(01:03):
an attack expected in the next twenty four hours from
Iran and Hesba Llah. Tensions in the Middle East, a
proxy war about to be a direct war. And don't
forget these two are a proxy for a world war.
Much to be on your knees praying about me and
while Vice President Harris is within forty eight hours of
naming her running mate, although one may have already named himself,
(01:26):
Arizona Senator Mark Kelly with a cryptic post on social
media saying, whether it was the Air Force, whether it
was NASA, or as a senator or whatever, what America
calls for me to serve. My answer is always yes,
so is Mark Kelly the choice. We'll we find out
(01:46):
today or tomorrow that all remains to be seen. And
the United States has really pulled away with its dominance
in Paris, now seventy two overall medals. Let me look
real quick, who is now the next closest, just to
show you how dominant this has become. As we head
into track and field week two, which we'll get even
more so, next in line is China with forty nine. France,
(02:08):
the home country, has now fallen to third with forty four.
So as you can see, we've got a twenty three
metal lead. I do my math right, Yeah, twenty three
metal lead over the next nearest country seventy two total medals,
nineteen gold. Actually we just fell behind China. China has
two more goals now, so we're two back on gold.
But seventy two total medals, nineteen gold, twenty seven silver
(02:33):
and twenty six Bronz. Sor ry time for Sounds of
the Day. Before I do Sounds of the Day, can
I do a Sight of the day for sure? I
don't know if it's his platform X, but out of
everybody on X, the one that I enjoy and follow
and enjoy the post most of it is the owner
(02:54):
Elon Musk and I love this one because we always
talk about memes and a sea of a and a
sea of noise or voices. Memes are just kind of
There's a scene in Bruce Almighty. You find out later
that God is Morgan Freeman. Not really in Hollywood. Don't
get scared, but what you realize as it was Morgan
(03:17):
Freeman all along during the movie. That was the homeless
guy in the street holding up different signs and messages.
That's what this, that's what memes have become. I've often said,
you know, because my kids want me to write another
book about our family, and my notion is to just
(03:38):
every year publish the top three hundred and sixty five
memes of the year, because they would tell you the
true story of that year. Everything you lived in the
moment is some revision of history or revision of reality.
(03:59):
It's not real. That's how nineteen eighty fourish we're living.
I mean, we're more orwellian than reality. But these memes
(04:20):
are always there to say the truth. And this one
is one of the most truthful you will ever hear.
And it sounds like a general statement, and it is
a condition a reality. It's actually quite biblical, but it
is the explanation for everything that we're dealing with and
(04:43):
why hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times.
Good times create week men. Weak men create hard times.
(05:11):
I mean, I saw this. David Snatti, who's a regular
on the show The Public Square, does a once a
year Christmas in America, and the goal is very simple,
find the Manger in real time or in any time.
That's a challenge, and it's an easy challenge to find
if you look for it every Christmas, unless you just
(05:33):
did it for the gifts and for Santa. And they
were exploring the year when the depression was going on
and One of the great lessons of that Christmas in
America is if you don't have that generation that lived
through the depression, you don't have the greatest generation that
(05:55):
can liberate the world. It was that depression generation that
created the men who save the world. To Elon Musk's meme,
hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times
that unfortunately, good times create weak men. Bill Clinton was
president over a very good time and we became a
(06:16):
very materialistic, selfish, weak generation based on the hard work
of Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, nude, gingrich, bipartisan. So yeah,
this is a statement of truth. That's also our only
hope we have today. All right, well, you definitely headed
(06:37):
for some more rough times. It looks like maybe that'll
create some strong men that can create. And by the way,
men is in, I would think mankind that'll be next
to going to attack for this, right, because they're saying
men not women. I don't think it's making a generalization
about sex as much as mankind, or I hope it isn't.
All right, So I did find that commercial. Now bear
(06:59):
with the audio. This is our sounds of the day.
This is the Kamala Harris commercial that ran often during
the Olympics. While I was watching it's actually not even
it's saying won't give me the list of who it is.
But when I was watching it live, it said paid for.
Maybe it'll say it at the end. I'll but bear
with it because it's just somebody recording their television. So
(07:21):
it's not gonna be the greatest audio. But the content
is what I want you to hear. This is Kamala
Harris for President's commercial that ran during the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Listen for America, where the economy works for working people,
where you only have to work from horn.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Jobs to pay the bills.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
There warned, We're reproductive rights are not just protected.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
By the Constitution of the United States, but guaranteed in
every state. Is that, Ali Hi? I believe in a
doctors responsible for the content.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yes, I don't know what FF is, so I don't
think this is actually being paid for by Harris for Presidents.
The three hundred million dollars don't even spend their money
yet because they're probably spending it on people on boots technology.
But think of that, all right, So now the point
of this commercial is twofold one. If you're the vice
president in the Biden Harris administration, you preside over the
(08:23):
very thing you're describing as the problem. So they created
this economy, they created this inflation, they've created these high
interest rates, they've created this suffering as they're running to
solve it. Now, if you knew how to solve it,
why did you create it? And why when't you solve
(08:45):
it while you're in leadership already, you're already elected, and
you're not solving it? Starting with the border that she
was the Tzara. So I would think this is a
tough commercial to sell to people unless you're more into
what we call store relnes than reality, feelings more than facts,
(09:07):
which at this point the campaign, there may be a
lot of but it won't last because sooner or later
I say that I'm editing myself because well, Donald Trump
is said I'll do a debate, but I won't do
it on ABC. Then Kamala Harris comes back and says, well,
I'll do a debate, but I won't do it on
Fox sor Right now, we got to find a place
(09:28):
other than assuming it's just those two, other than ABC
or Fox, or we may not have a presidential debate
in this case, Donald Trump succeeded greatly by not being
involved in any of the primary debates. He needs to
debate Kamala Harris. She will hang herself. That's how she
hung herself in the twenty twenty primary, accusing her president
(09:52):
of being a racist, and then my favorite, Telsea Gabbard
taking her out at the knees in a debate, and
she was out of the in a week. But there's
a commercial and anybody can say, I'm going to make
your groceries less, I'm gonna make your gas less, I'm
going to make the sun come out every day. It's
(10:13):
going to be seventy two degrees every day. Your life
is going to be great. Elect me. Okay, well, how
are you going to do it? She got to ask
that question, and here's how it sounded.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
What else are you going to do to fix this
problem with impleation?
Speaker 6 (10:26):
I thank you.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Well, let's start with this. Prices have gone up.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
And families and individuals are dealing.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
With the realities of.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
That bread costs more, the gas costs more, and we
have to understand what that means. That's about the cost
of living going up. That's about having to stress and
stretch limited resources. That's about US source of stress for
families that is not only economic, but is on a
(11:04):
daily level something that is a heavy weight to carry.
So it is something that we take very seriously, very seriously,
and we know from the history of this issue in
the United States that when you see these prices go up,
it has a direct impact on the quality of life
for all people in our ca.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
When you don't have an answer to the question, spend
a minute and five seconds on a word salad describing
the question. Again, that's the real Kamala Harris, who's a
part of the administration that has created these problems, versus
the Kamala Harris reading a script in this commercial.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
For America where the economy works for working people, where
you only work.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
One job to pay the bills and reducing right just.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
Protective by the constitutions they were guaranteed in every state.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Unbelieving so well, America's shop real character, real leadership, real answers,
real solutions, or will they fall for Hollywood created scripts?
Now this Sound of the day just shows you how
delusional they've become, how gaslighted they think you are. Now,
(12:33):
not only is it a scandal how they did a
shadow campaign to save the democracy, weaponizing COVID and hiding
a c now old man in a basement. But then
this vice president now presidential candidate, and this media that
just chased him off hid it scandalously all this time
instead of that being discussed, and how they're ready to
(12:56):
put him on Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
So he wasn't a good place to make whatever decision
at the top of his game. Such a consequential president
of the United States, a Mount Rushmore kind of president
of the United States wants to know what's next that
he belongs up there on Mount Rushmore. Lincoln and Joe Biden.
(13:18):
But you've got Teddy Roosevelt up there and he's wonderful.
I don't say take him down, but you can add Biden.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
So he was that's Nancy Pelosi, not even unless he's
stall at sixty minutes? Is by that? Are you serious?
You want to put Joe Biden next Abraham Lincoln. I'm
surprised you didn't say what I would have said next
to George Washington. Seriously, but don't you brought it up
next to Teddy Roosevelt. Seriously. Our last out of the
day is abute. It's worth it. Trust Vanda, We're going
(13:45):
to be a minute late. Kamala Harris is fifty percent
Indian from South India at fifty percent Jamaican, which probably
makes her about seventy six percent African American. Who cares,
But they would love to continue this argument that way.
(14:05):
You're not asking her questions like what are you going
to do to solve inflation and high interest rates in
the economy and the border. But who sat around the
conference room table and said, well, let's show how Kambala
is suddenly black and help with all the loss of
black vote. Let's send her out this weekend to a
record store. And then when the media asks her what
(14:26):
did you buy? What did you buy? She'll hold up
a bunch of black artists. Not only did somebody say
that at a conference room table someone wanting your vote.
Let me refresh your memory, Marcus crashing. Unemployment is up,
inflation is steady, wages are stagnant, the borders in crisis.
(14:50):
We've got a fedanyl crisis, and we got a ron
getting ready to bomb Israel. You have a very serious
decision to make for your time and for all time.
And the main candidate for the Democrats after their little
party and mainstream media coup. It is playing prop games
(15:14):
outside of record stores.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
So okay, So you know.
Speaker 7 (15:23):
Bersville Charlie Vengus really is one of the greatest dads,
one of them.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
One of my favorite albums of all times, Roy Airs,
Everybody Loves Sunshine. You know this? You know this is
so good? Everybody right, and this is a beautiful Minesela.
I'm strong.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
You live in perhaps building to be one of the
most serious moments in human history. I am just a
human events tour guide, but you're not for the moment.
And we're walking, We're walking.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chona, your.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Top five stories of the day, waking up. In fact,
this report of wone is enough to make a give
up on following politics. Here's Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 8 (16:18):
Republicans are defending Donald Trump's comments questioning Kamala Harris's race.
In an interview with ABC's This Week, Florida Congressman Baron
Donald's called it a phony controversy, but went on to
say her presidential campaign is now talking much more about
her black identity.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
Like this is really a phony controversy. I don't really care.
Most people don't. But if we're going to be accurate,
When Kamala Harris went into the United States Senate, it
was AP that says she was the first Indian American
United States Senator.
Speaker 8 (16:44):
This Week host George Stephanopolis pressed Donald's over why Republicans
continued doubting Harris's black identity, noting she is biracial. Trump,
during an interview with the National Association of Black Journalists
last week, claimed Harris had turned black after identifying only
as Indian for years, and the Biden administration and is
continue we pushed for a seasfireing deal between Israel and
Hamas amid rising tensions in the Middle East in an
(17:06):
interview with ABC's This Week, where House Deputy National Security
Advisor John Finer said that a seesfire on Gaza is
priority number one in the conflict.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
That's politics. Mark Mayfield, NBC News Radio, Well, all that
nonsense is going on. Ron's getting ready to attack Israel
along with hesper Law. We've got a hurricane that's come
ashore in Florida and the market finding to crash some
more today. Hey, it's me and Michael. You can listen
to your morning show live on the air or streaming
live on your iHeart app Monday through Friday from three
(17:35):

nine Eastern on great radio stations like Talk six fifty
KSTE and Sacramento one oh four nine. The Patriot in
Saint Louis had Impact Radio one oh five nine and
twelve fifty w h d Z in Tampa, Florida. Sure
hope you can join us live and make us a
part of your morning routine. In the meantime, enjoy the
podcast This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Journal
(17:57):
on the Earn, streaming live on your iHeartRadio app if
you're just waking up. Tropical storm Now, Hurricane Debbie has
made landfall in Florida's at this Big Bend area. Huge
Stella Friday will now be followed by, according to the futures,
a brutal day on Wall Street. President Biden continued to
push for a cease fire deal. Somebody out a brief, Joe. Meanwhile,
(18:19):
Iran and Hesvela are planning an attack on Israel within
twenty four hours. Blincoln met tried to take a last
ditch diplomatic effort. Now you've got to just hope they
talked Iran into doing something more symbolic than really deadly
and or inciting. This is a proxy war threatening to
(18:42):
be a direct war between Israel and Iran, Judaeo Christianity
and Islam in the epicenter of the world. Got a
lot of on our plate this morning. We're dealing with Meanwhile,
Team USA continues to dominate the world. Now we entered
today eight tied with the most gold medals. Nobody's even
(19:03):
within twenty something metals of US in overall metal counts.
So we continue to dominate as we headed to track
and field. So many great and memorable moments throughout this
Olympic Game. The question is has America been watching? And
the answer is, Aaron Rayale, good morning.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Yes they are. We are watching. We are watching on
all different platforms and know who's winning NBC.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
As a result.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
So I'll just give you the numbers, beginning with the
opening ceremonies, which were heavily watched. Twenty eight million viewers
watching that profession down the Sun River, compared with twenty
six excuse me, seventeen million at the Tokyo Games, which
was back comparison because like, yeah, no one went to that,
no one watched that, fans weren't allowed, but Rio had
twenty five, so we still beat that point being if
(19:44):
you look at the daily average combining daytime and primetime coverage,
thirty million viewers. It's up eighty percent from the Tokyo Olympics.
NBC Sports released those numbers. NBC comcasts Universal. They are
doing very well with their streaming, with their audio. NBC
News Radio working with iHeart to distribute that.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
They're working in the hills. What radio group are they
working hand in hand with to bring these games in
the Oh, that would be iHeart, that would be our employer.
Speaker 10 (20:15):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
And also this is important. You know, they have a
lot of you can watch this everywhere, which is great,
but they have a lot of celebrities, a lot of personalities,
and that has really helped. And whether it be the
fact that Paris is gorgeous and the time difference isn't
that bad in terms of like Tokyo, it's very hard
to watch. It's literally the other side of the planet,
a different day, but you know, five hours ahead, isn't
(20:39):
that that brutal at all. So it's gorgeous, it's easy
to watch, and it's soul affirming. It is amazing to
watch people at the very top of what they do
do it better than anyone else in the world.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
It's exciting and there's been I mean, this would be
the Olympic Games that I discovered women's rugby, which has
been a real highlight for me. What a great sport.
But you know, I'll think of sim Own Biles in
the US gymnastics team. The dominance of the men and
women in basketball we can run down. I'll tell you
the one that registered this weekend was Scotti Scheffler. And
I love this because, well, what's the big story in golf, right?
(21:10):
It's all about money. That's all they care about. That's
why the half of them split and went to the
Live Tour. Well, here's something where the greatest golfers in
the world gather in France and they don't make a dime.
They're playing for their country and for pride. And I'll
tell you seeing the number one in the world Scotty Scheffler,
and nobody makes more money than Scotty Scheffler. And when
he's sitting through the playing of the national anthem with that,
(21:33):
you know I was joking earlier. Two things about Scotty Schffler.
He has a forty eight year old man's face, out
a twenty something year old golfer. It just it just
is it looks like an older face. He never shows
any emotion. I mean, to be that great and to
be so emotionless about it. And there he is and
the playing of the national anthem, still showing no emotion.
You can see his lips moving to the words of
the song. And then he gets to that final verse
(21:56):
and something and a snap breaks and you see this
man break out into weeping. It's just I mean, that's
what it's all about. And then I tried to out
of love for you, I tried to watch an equestrian event,
and then that a debate broke out. My son doesn't
think that you the riders deserve any credit. If you've
(22:18):
got a good horse, you win. If you don't have
a good horse, you lose. The horse knows when to jump.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Can I tell I'm gonna speak to your son. Your
son is not incorrect. He is actually like, like, yes,
the horse matter. It's like like, yes, you have to
know what you're doing. But outside of that, your horse
is what matters.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Somebody as Pete rose, what's the key to being a
great manager? He goes, So that's simple. Great players you can,
but there's been so many. There's been so many great
Olympic moments. These people train all year all their life,
all year long for four years, and then they have
their one moment in time, and you know, anything can
happen in that moment, and to see them come through
(22:57):
and the dominance that we're having, or maybe the wishful
hope will stop fighting with each other at home over
politics and unite to fight others. In sports, there's been
you know, the opening ceremony had some controversy. Boxing female
boxing had some controversy, but all in all, it's been
a great game. I would love I would be very
interested to know the difference between the daytime Nielsen audience
(23:19):
and the prime time and there's advantages to book. For me,
I can't watch in primetime. It starts right about my bedtime.
It's nice when you're watching gymnastics because they cut out
all the waiting. But to have the opportunity like Paris
six hours ahead, for people like me to watch it
during the day the rest of America to get home
from work and watch it in primetimes it is a
(23:40):
recipe for success. It does work best.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
That way because and then also like They've brought in
all these celebrities, and I think they've done.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
A good job.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
Like if you look at like the Gold Zone on
Peacock that shows multiple live sports at once, and it's
led by Scott Hansen of the NFL's Red Zone in
a very similar format. But that's been a big hit,
as has the Watch Along Show by Alex Cooper. Alex
Cooper is the host of the wildly popular podcast Call
Her Daddy. So I think that it's like what NBC
(24:07):
Universe no smart, yes, very.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Let me tell you my brother. My brother's always been
a big you know, he buys the NFL package so
he can watch the Saints whether they're on TV or not,
and other favorite teams like the Lions. For me and Nick,
we discovered Red Zone. I don't it's been about eleven
years ago, and I'm telling you it is so it
speaks so to our culture today. I mean, you know,
(24:31):
the phones have trained us to get everything immediately. It's
trained us to get everything. That's why either the reels
do well TikTok to us. Well, nobody has an attention
span beyond fifteen seconds anymore. So, but when you're watching
Red Zone, I mean we flick it on at noon,
Scott comes on and says, here we go, you know,
and you don't turn it off. I can't watch a
single game anymore. And for somebody to have the smart
(24:54):
idea at a conference room table, why don't we do
the Gold Zone. In fact, let's get Scott Hansen from
the Red Zone to host it. Yeah, to me, it
was a snoop. I don't get. I don't think anybody
gets with snoops. He's become a mascot Team America.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I don't care if John Travolta. Yeah, I don't care
if John Travolta or Tom Cruise is in the thing.
But I you brought up the one. I thought gold
Zone was brilliant. And I don't get that other one
because I don't follow that podcast. But gold Zone that
was smart, very smart.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
Right, And let me tell you about it.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
She's wildly popular.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
I think she is the second most popular podcast after
Joe Rogan. And it's also totally different demographic than would
honestly be turning tuning into this and so like now
they're like it doesn't and listen. Whatever executive was like, hey,
this one's popular.
Speaker 8 (25:40):
Can we loop her?
Speaker 5 (25:41):
And yes, It doesn't matter if you're a fan or not.
She has millions and millions of fans that otherwise wouldn't
be that into it, but she's pushing them. Yes, it
like across the board, red zone into gold zone, into
Alex Cooper.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Yes, it was well played.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Can I can I end with this? Saron? It doesn't
hurt to be winning a lot?
Speaker 2 (25:59):
No, it is not.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Everybody loves the winter, don't they. All Right, So the
Olympic Games. Very successful for Team USA athletes and very
successful for NBC Comcast. Appreciate the reporting. We'll talk again tomorrow.
Thanks every day, Aaron Rayale. Your morning. Joe Matlors ponders,
all right, top five stories of the day. A reminder,
(26:21):
this election is about us, we the people. I remind
you because after you listen to this Road to the
white House report, you will need to remember that because
those that are running don't Road to the White House.
Twenty twenty four.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
Republicans are defending Donald Trump's comments questioning Kamala Harris's race.
In an interview with ABC's This Week, Florida Congressman Byron
Donald's called it a phony controversy, but went on to
say her presidential campaign is now talking much more about
her black identity, Like this.
Speaker 9 (26:49):
Is really a phony controversy. I don't really care. Most
people don't. But if we're going to be accurate, when
Kamala Harris went into the United States Senate, it was
ap that says she was the first Indian American United
States Senate or Trump, during.
Speaker 8 (27:01):
An interview with the National Association of Black Journalists last week,
claimed that Harris had turned black after identifying only as
Indian for years. And Kamala Harris interviewed three candidates on
Sunday to be your running mate, Senator Mark Kelley of
Arizona and Governors Tim Wallas of Minnesota and Josh Shapiro
of Pennsylvania. I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
But then Mark Kelly went ahead and got on social
media saying, you know, whether it was the military, the
Air Force, NASA space, our bigger United States Senator, whatever
my country calls, I always respond with the yes. So
has he been offered and said you did? He just
(27:38):
let the cat out of the bag real. Meanwhile, already
on the ticket, Ohio Senator jd Vance is defending his
place as a running mate of Donald Trump. In an
interview with Fox New Sunday Morning Futures. Vans was asked
about criticism that he's a bet, a poor choice for
Trump as a VP nominee.
Speaker 10 (27:54):
Look, I recognize that there are a lot of folks,
even in the GOP establishment. It's certainly on the far left,
who don't like the fact that Donald Trump picked me.
I actually take their criticism as a badge of honor.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
I argue that the media, of course, is going to
attack people that they fear the most.
Speaker 10 (28:08):
And I don't come from inside the Beltway. Marie, you know,
I grew up as a poor kid. I didn't come
from a political family or a wealthy family. I worked
my way through college, through the Marine Corps, eventually landed
as Donald Trump's running mate.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Dan said the campaign is running an opposition of Washington insiders,
not to mention the media itself as a nominat.
Speaker 10 (28:28):
I'm not shocked that a lot of inside the Beltway
media types don't like me, but their policies are the problem.
Of course they don't like me, because we're running to
fix what.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
They have broken now the current vice president. By the way,
I may add, without a single primary campaign event, without
a single primary debate, without a single primary interview without
a single primary vote by a citizen, Kamala Harris secured
enough delegates to be the nominee over the weekend, and
(28:58):
today or tomorrow she will pick her unning mate. She
also launched a Republicans for Harris group, which boasts endorsements
because every joke deserves a punchline from such Republican greats
like Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh. Thought it was the Eagles,
Joe Walsh, Yeah, now you'd be talking. Or how about
(29:20):
Connecticut Congressman Christopher Shay That makes all the difference. Or
Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld or former New Jersey Governor Christine
Todd Whitman. Just a who's who of right greats. While
they're done attacking Joe Biden. They got their way, they
(29:41):
removed the old trojan horse. So now they're back to
attacking Donald Trump. So I'm sure they're thrilled with this story.
The Trump federal election interference case is headed back to
court on August sixteenth. Scott Carr from Washington has more.
Speaker 11 (29:55):
US District Judge Tanya Tutkin resumed control of the case Friday,
then issued in orders Saturday denying Trump's motion to dismiss
the federal criminal charges brought by Special counsel Jack Smith.
The case was on hold during the appeals process, where
it's culminated in a sweeping US Supreme Court ruling that
said presidents are immune from any criminal prosecution when carrying
(30:17):
out official acts. Now, Judge Chuckin will have to decide
if Trump can be prosecuted for his alleged efforts to
overturn the outcome of the twenty twenty election. A trial
in the case is not expected now until after this
year's presidential election.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I'm Scott Carr in Washington. Dead Pool and Wolverine took
the gold at the box office this weekend's keeping with
her Olympic theme, the Marvel Studio took in ninety seven
million dollars of to Mexican domestic box office in its
second weekend. That's good enough for eighth biggest second weekend ever.
Twisters took silver and the bronze went to m Night
Chamalan's Trap. Speaking of the real Olympics, the team USA
(30:55):
seventy two total medals right now leads the world nineteen goal,
twenty seven silver, twenty six bronze. In baseball, d backs,
raising NAT's One, Guardians, Rangers, Mariners and Cardinals all lost.
Speaker 8 (31:09):
I'm Jeff Eddie with Efficient Haiti and Cooling, and my
morning show is your Morning Show with Marcall Bill Giorda.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Tropical Storm Debbie became Hurricane Debbie and then has made
landfall in Florida's Big ben which means I'm guessing a
lot of moisture in the future for Tallahassee on through
to Jacksonville, roy O'Neil of course, in the Great State
of Florida outside standing in the rain to do our
report this morning, Rory, are you safe?
Speaker 12 (31:36):
I am, yes, luckily in central Florida. Just some squally weather,
nothing too dangerous. But the problem with this storm in
particular is in body but the flooding that's going to
be happening all week long, especially in places like Charleston,
South Carolina, all the way up to Myrtle Beach, Savannah,
Georgia as well. Those are places that could be getting
more than a foot of rain because now that Debbie
(31:58):
has come ashore in Florida's Big Bend, it's going to
start to move inland a little bit more and then
just sort of hang out there for days and days
and days and that's.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Problem that can be just as deadly as storm surgeon wind.
All right, so my wife watches a lot of Weather Channel,
then gets yourself, you know, all frothed up in fear,
calls my friend Joe Vig and Tampa. You know, are
you sure you're okay? Is everything okay?
Speaker 10 (32:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:19):
It just com picked from golfing. It just started ringing,
you know. But by yeah, talent iron talent woms the
weather channel.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Oh yeah, but but I mean the stalling and the
flooding could become a problem. Oh. Here's another sign of
the times too, uh, and that is America's renter population
growing three times faster than its homeowner population. That's an
economic hurricane to bruin.
Speaker 12 (32:42):
Yeah, it is a big storm out there, and it's
been brewing for a while. A one point nine percent
growth in the percentage of renter households in the second quarter.
Compare that to six tenths of a percentage point growth
in homeowner households. That's the smallest increase in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Uh.
Speaker 12 (32:59):
The numbers are just whack and it doesn't really take
a brain surgeon to figure this one out. Here's one
data point that should explain everything right now, Mortgage payments
are up ninety I know, ninety percent from before the
pandemic for a mortgage payment.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
We can't put any spit on that. That's just that's
breath tiving there you go.
Speaker 12 (33:20):
I mean, renting costs are up twenty three percent, so
that's not nothing but ninety percent for a mortgage payment.
And look, because of the recent collapses on the stock market,
maybe more today, we have seen mortgage rates fall significantly
below six and a quarter now. But I think everyone's
also on the sidelines waiting for further rate cuts from
the Fed.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Hopefully that would impact mortgage rates as well. So, I mean,
we have a huge inflation expense, but we have a
border in housing crisis, don't we.
Speaker 12 (33:49):
Well, yeah, and we've been seeing this surge in multi
family housing. That's the other reason rents are stabilizing a
little bit is because we're bringing on more than a
half a million, about six hundred thousand rental units this year,
so that's a strong number. But single family housing is
not keeping up with the demand. And again a lot
of people feel that, Look, I don't want to give
up this three percent rate I got back in two
(34:10):
thousand and nine, and they don't want to move well doubling.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
You know, it's such a three three obvious answers that
you know, people are always trying to say something new
and you're just getting further away. We need interest rates
to come down. Why because that's going to release people
with homes that have appreciated in value, because we need
those homes on the market for inventory. We also need
to desperately build new homes and that's not happening. But
(34:37):
interest rates falling that will allow the baby boomers that
are hanging on to their homes to sell them. But
at some point the ripple effects of this are going
to be felt for decades. But yeah, it's official. We
now have a housing crisis, just like a boarding crisis,
a border crisis. In the American runner population is going
three times as fast as home ownership, which.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
May be a dream getting out of reach. Great reporting,
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
