Speaker 2 (00:26):
Walk two three starting your morning off right, A.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
New way of talk, a new way of understanding because
we're in the Stigific. This is your Morning show with
Michael Bill Trump.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Citing escalating regional tensions, the Pentagon says the US is
strengthening forces in the Middle East. Hamas says it will
not send a delegation to talk with Israel as negotiations
were scheduled for Thursday and the Summer Olympics are over.
The closing ceremony included dazzling performances I Snooped Dog, Billie, Eilish,
Red Hot Chili, Peppers. We are be sarcastic. Tom Cruise

(01:08):
as the passing of the flag from Paris to Los
Angeles for the Games in four years completed our Olympic
ceremonies last night. Speaking of the Olympics, as for the
good old USA, we were the best in the world.
And I might add by far one hundred and twenty
six total medals at the Paris Games, tied China for

(01:30):
gold with forty forty four silver, forty two bronze, and
the one that tied it with China the women's basketball.
And it went right to the final buzzer. I talked
about last hour, it felt like nineteen eighty. I was sitting.
I have a talkback for you. I'm sorry, I have

(01:50):
a talkback for you concerning in the middle. I'm about
to tell a really touching story from when I was
a kid. I know, but everything that's great about the
Olympic Games, and it reminds us that as a world
we can we can unite peacefully. As a nation, we
can stop fighting with each other. I'm gonna wax a
little poetically. You may want to hear this, all right,
don't forget you have a talk back button. You can

(02:12):
use on your iHeartRadio app. You record a message by
hitting the microphone and then send and we can air it.
It sounds like that.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
I can't believe that you call yourself a Christian and
then you go on and on about watching the Olympic
Games after they mocked our Lord and Savior in the
Last Supper, that filthy town affairs, and you're celebrating him.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
I told you, well, not my morning show.

Speaker 5 (02:39):
I assure you.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
I thought I was being so clever. I didn't realize
it says we're true. It is. I'm still trying to
make brank phone calls with caller ID.

Speaker 6 (02:49):
That was you, wasn't it. Yeah, that's okay, fine, I
just want to check that out. I'm gonna start doing
that from time to time. Why a little board? Uh
no that that it reminded me so much. In nineteen eighty,
I'm sitting on my carpet with a Popeyes fried chicken
three piece, all white meat, and I'm I keep looking

(03:11):
at my brother and I'm going, you don't you don't
think we could?

Speaker 1 (03:15):
You know, keep this close? Do you let alone? What
would unfold? And Lake Placid was the miracle and a
bunch of college kids do the unthinkable and beat the
Soviet Union. And I was sitting yesterday thinking to myself,
I bet that's how they feel in France.

Speaker 7 (03:30):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
The United States. Ah, they can't lose, They've won sixty
months straight, and they just you know, hung around, hung around.
The game was virtually tied for the entire first half.
It ended tied at half, and then in the second
half France starts pulling away. At one point I think
that I got ten point lead, and then the women
came back. A lot of fouling at the end. Free

(03:52):
throws become a big key, and we hit ours most
of them to keep you know, at least a three
point lead. And with three seconds left, they him bound
and there's a long pass. Gabby Williams gets it for France,
but because of her momentum, literally just two of her
toes are over the three point line. I mean, it

(04:12):
was clearly not a three pointer, but only by two inches,
and she nails at her or have gone to overtime.
Just an amazing basketball game, the greatest women's basketball game
in the history of women's basketball, one of the top
Olympic basketball games ever, and right to the final AH
and the US takes gold, and what a gold it

(04:35):
turned out to be, tying China with forty goals gold medals. Overall,
we kind of kicked around who were the stars of
this Olympic. I mean, I thought the Scotti Scheffler moment
was great only because golf is so much about money.
These guys can make so much money it's hard to comprehend.
I mean, nobody even tracks it. We know what every

(04:55):
quarterback's making, but we don't know what these top golfers
are making. And here's Scotty Scheffler, number one in the world,
and he's playing his heart hut at the Olympics for
no money for his country and for gold. Gets it
so stoic as he always is, even during the metal presentation,

(05:15):
even during most of the national anthem, and then the
final verse hits and the emotions flow, and we watched
the number one golfer in the world just begin to weep.
That's what it meant to bring gold home for his country.
I loved that moment. I guess after twelve years since
having gold for the women's soccer team, and we said

(05:37):
that earlier. It was Dansby Swanson, who used to play
for Vanderbilt now he's the cub shortstop. His wife Mallory
got the only goal of the game, and the US
women get back on top after twelve years and take
the goal. Great moment, Katie LYDECKI had so many but
to win the eight hundred meter and a four peat
twenty twelve, twenty sixteen, twenty twenty, twenty fourteen, Boy, that's

(05:58):
a highlight. Simone Biles becomes most decorated gymnast, five gold
out of the eight overall, that passes Shannon Miller. And
then the US women get the gold, the men get
the bronze. That have been a long time since men
had meddled. And then that Stephen Nadorisik, the nerdy guy
with the glasses from Penn State. He's the bombl horse expert,

(06:18):
comes out of the bullpen like wild thing and secures
the bronze. Great great moments. I fell in love with
women's rugby. I'll always remember the twenty twenty four games
for that Noah Lyle's fastest man in the world, Stefan
Curry and all those big threes or the men would
have stumbled. The dominance in basketball for men and women continued,
and then I guess we have to say two things.

(06:39):
Paris itself has a beautiful backdrop to you my talk back,
and then Snoop Dogg and where that came from. I mean,
of all the people, Snoop dog and for some reason
it worked.

Speaker 8 (06:53):
I love him, I like him. I like him and
Martha Stewart teaming up. That is the odd couple. They
would be a great sitcom together, especially after what you've
seen the two of them at the Olympics of summer.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Well, you get the feeling he's nothing as he seems.
You know, if Snoop Dogg is this big, pothead, wrapper,
bad boy, how's he been happily married to this beautiful
woman for thirty five years, you know, with no incidents?
But yeah, and then the way he got involved with families.
It just I guess the Olympic Games needed some kind
of mascot and found it in Snoop. He's already been

(07:26):
secured for the Games in two years. NBC certainly did
a wonderful job. I thought Paris was a breathtaking and
it's one of the world's most beautiful cities, hands down,
and they utilized their beauty and their landmarks flawlessly. A
little bit of a you know to our talk back guy,
how dare them? After that opening ceremony, then they brought
that weird little demonic thing you know that breaks the

(07:48):
eighth sealed in the Book of Revelation. They brought her
back with some kind of a nasty golden insect. But
that's you know, every Olympic opening and closing ceremonies do
all this weird stuff. I don't get it and what
it has to do with sports. But the Olympic Games
are behind is a huge success for the United States overall.

(08:09):
Nobody had more medals and we did one hundred and
twenty six overall, including tying China with forty gold medals
and that big women's victory in the closing moments to
get it done all right here at home during politics,
we talked about some of the polls and we said
take them all with a grain of salt, because a
it's August, sooner or later, Kamala Harris is going to

(08:32):
have to do an interview sooner or later, whether it's
one or three. She's going to do a debate sooner
or later. They're going to have their convention, and it
looks like there's gonna be a lot of tension on
the ground, and you wonder if it's reminiscent of nineteen
sixty eight in Chicago, if it will spill over into
the convention floor, and then you have the whole general
election leading up the pending October surply, I mean, there's

(08:53):
a lot that's going to happen. Basically, we're right back
where we've been. Wisconsin, Pennsylvania gave it to Trump by
just a handful of votes and very key precincts in
twenty sixteen over Hillary. Then it went Joe's way in
twenty twenty with the weaponization of COVID and changing of

(09:14):
election laws, and now we're looking at those same states now.
So here's a new piece of polling that comes out
right at the height of the sugar High. Never mind,
nobody cares that Mama La Kamala hid Joe's condition or
the media hit the condition. They get them removed. Everybody's relieved.
They go from hopelessness to hope. Suddenly, Mama Lakama's not

(09:37):
the only thing worse than Joe Biden. She's the savior.
So at the height of that narrative ized not real
sugar high. The New York Times in Santa College does
a poll and in it and it's six hundred ninety
three registered voters, primarily in three swing states, And in
it the sample error is plus or minus. It's a

(09:57):
high margin of era four point ter. Look, it's a
margin of error for a reason that's built into the formula.
The leads are all within the margin of error. In
other words, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania are just as they were

(10:20):
in twenty sixteen, just as they were in twenty twenty.
They are in twenty twenty four razor close. Anybody that
tells you they know which way it's gonna go is guessing.
But this is designed to tell you Kamala is winning,
so that everybody walks around today going, can you believe
Kamala Harris is gonna win? No, She's got a lead

(10:44):
within the margin of error in three swing states that
have been razorclose for the last twelve years. No shock here.
In fact, I would tell you this if you want
to go in and dangerously dissect something, it would be
Kamala Harris did her best, is right where Joe Biden
was at his best. So you had just replaced Joe

(11:07):
Biden and it looks worse based on the outed memory
care Joe Biden, but I think it showed her leading
in Michigan was the biggest. She was leading fifty to

(11:30):
forty six. So Harris leads Trump by four in Michigan.
Pennsylvania was two when you put in the third party,
So it's it's all the same. I think that's much
to do about nothing. Now, the hacking of Donald Trump's
campaign and the promise from bad players in the world

(11:54):
theater that's say there's gonna be a lot more election
disruptions to come, and we'retty good at disrupting our own elections.
That's a real story to follow. And then my favorite
is this Washington Post headline pro Palestinian protesters avow massive
showing at the Democratic Convention. One of the few people
that are constantly drawing comparisons to nineteen sixty eight because

(12:15):
it just keeps playing out right down to Biden leaving
the race like LBJ, right down to an assassination attempt
versus two assassinations in sixty eight. And then we go
to the convention in Chicago where it was bloody in
the streets and spilled over into the convention hall. Well,
you're looking not at anti Vietnam protesters, but anti Israel protesters.

Speaker 9 (12:40):
By way.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
They have a picture you'd like this, Jeffrey, and it
says people attending prayer at the Mosque Foundation in Bridgeview, Illinois.
So they got this picture of the Muslims and mosques
in Illinois. And of course everybody looks, you know, Muslim,
except there's like two guys that look like they're from
the south side of you. They must have got converted.

(13:02):
I'll take a Chicago dog a slice of thick beach
and uh a shalama like him? How did I mean?
I'm telling you like blue collar south side as your
Google guy. He's just got up in the round. And
then there's even one wearing a mask obviously got a

(13:23):
you know, they're ready to take on Israel, but they
still fear COVID.

Speaker 5 (13:26):
A couple of.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Old guys had masked. But of course what the story's
really talking about is tens and tens of thousands registered
to protest. Will we see the streets of Chicago look
like they did in nineteen sixty eight. Well, let's spill
over into the convention hall like I did in nineteen
sixty eight. And what does that do to the messaging? Oh,
and don't forget the same Tim Walls that brought you

(13:50):
They're weird is now bringing you the Kamala Joy. He's
coined the phrase thank you for bringing joy back to Paul.

Speaker 5 (14:01):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
We'll wonder if that old rain on the Joy Parade
in Chicago. And that's the latest down the road to
the White House.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
This morning, this is your Morning Show with Michael Deltno.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Top five Stories of the day. At twenty six after
the hour, President Biden is issuing a stark warning as
you know, Mama Da Kamala and Tim har A Wall.
Bubb's the word on any policies, any solutions, any issues.

(14:35):
And then Joe of course making a boogeyman out of
Donald Trump. Another word, second verse, same as the first.
Mark Mayfield has details.

Speaker 10 (14:43):
In his first televised interviews and stepping down from the
twenty twenty four presidential race, Biden told CBS Sunday Morning,
Trump is a genuine danger to American security.

Speaker 5 (14:52):
Look qu an inflection point in world history.

Speaker 10 (14:55):
We really are the decisions we make in the last
three four years.

Speaker 11 (15:00):
The next year, if furs you're going to turn, what
the next six decades look like?

Speaker 10 (15:03):
Biden cided the twenty twenty one attack on the Capitol
and said he's not confident there would be a peaceful
transfer of power if Kamala Harris defeats Trump in November.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
Trump warned in March.

Speaker 10 (15:11):
That if he lost the election, it would be a
bloodbath for the US auto industry and country, comments Biden
and Democrats have claimed were inciting political violence a marketeyfield.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Well, let's see, Donald Trump's a threat to America. But
the Democrat Party was a threat to Joe Biden. He
even admitted it. Rob Martier reports.

Speaker 12 (15:27):
In an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Biden implied he
was indeed thrown under the bus by his own party
and know those pesty down ballot races.

Speaker 11 (15:36):
But what happened was a number of my Democratic colleagues
and the House of Senate thought that I was going
to hurt him in the racist and I was concerned
if I stayed in the race that would be the topic.

Speaker 12 (15:51):
Biden announced last month he would end his campaign amid
pressure from other Democrats following his poor debate performance against
Trump and amid concerns over he is mental acuity. I'm
Rob Martyre, Jeffrey, are we sure.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
That just playing audio of Joe Biden doesn't trigger people's
snooze button. They're all going over sleep now, yeah, and
people could drive off the road, so please be careful.
With the Paris Games officially closed, the clock is now
officially ticking on the twenty twenty eighth Summer Games in La.
Tammy Trihuilo has details.

Speaker 13 (16:18):
Mayor Karen Bass spent time at the Paris Games, and
during the closing ceremony Sunday, she said, one of LA's
goals will be to have a Carlss Olympics.

Speaker 14 (16:26):
It is our goal in Los Angeles to have a
car free games. And you know what that means, because
we're a very car dependent city. But it means that
if you are going to attend any of the sports venue,
you're going to have to take public transportation.

Speaker 13 (16:40):
She says, Los Angeles will be bringing in thousands of
buses from neighboring cities and states to help make that happen.
I'm Tammy Trio.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
Husband and wife. Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are dominating
the box office. Reynolds, Deadpool and Wolverine took the top spot. Meanwhile,
Lively's It Ends with Us Blue passed expectations hauling in
fifty million dollars over the weekend. This this happens since
nineteen ninety, when Bruce Willis had Diehard two and Demi
Moore had Ghost one and two. Husband and wife, Hi,

(17:07):
It's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
daily on great radio stations like News Radio six fifty
k e NI Anchorage, Alaska, Talk Radio eleven ninety Dallas
Fort Worth, and Freedom one oh four seven in Washington,
d C. We'd love to have you listen live every day.
Make us a part of your morning routine, but better
late than never. Enjoy the podcast. Thanks for waking up

(17:28):
with your morning show on the Aaron streaming live on
your iHeartRadio app if you're just waking up sighting escalating
regional tensions which have been escalating for quite some time.
Pentagon says US is strengthening its forces in the Middle East.
The Summer Olympics are over a smashing success for the
United States, tying China and gold more overall medals than

(17:49):
any other country, and Hama says it will not be
sending a delegation to talk with Israel. Negotiations were scheduled
for Thursday and what really happened with Donald Trump's helicopter ride,
or what about Tim Walls's military career. National Your Morning
Show correspondent Roy O'Neil is here to take a look
at how both campaigns are being scrutinized. I wish somebody

(18:11):
would focus on US Rory and how much it cost
to get groceries and gas. But yeah, this is the
early nitpicking of I was choking earlier. We have this
big story of how Donald Trump's campaign got hacked with
the vetting document of JD Vance, and how people are
warning bad players in the world stage are going to

(18:32):
be very disruptive, and I'm like, hey, we know how
to disrupt their own campaigns. We don't need anybody from
outside the world to do it. What do we make
of these two early storylines.

Speaker 5 (18:42):
Yeah, plus, it's just a frenzy at this point.

Speaker 7 (18:45):
Then I think you can add into the mix the
Harris Ai image claim by Donald Trump from the airport crowd,
which is just more fiction that's out there.

Speaker 5 (18:55):
But it's been this back and forth.

Speaker 7 (18:57):
I think both sides are using a shotgun approach to
try to find something that might stick in this truncated
campaign because we've only got a couple of weeks before
people actually start voting in this race. The Democratic Convention
is next week. That's going to eat up a week
and before you know it, you know, some of these
states are actually going to be counting real balance.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Yeah, we have the two new polls too. This would
be at the height of the sugar high of getting
rid of Biden, the entrance of Kamala and it's still
within the margin of era from Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania
and all it shows Rory is the same thing twenty
twenty and twenty sixteen showed these are the primary three
key swing states and they can go either way by
very few votes.

Speaker 7 (19:38):
Right, And the campaign is really, you know, just getting going.
The Harris team has only been a team for well
started three weeks ago, but only a team really for
one week. And they're still trying to get their act together.
And the Waltz campaign is bogged down by some of
these claims of stolen valor and know things that he's
said or didn't say, or in applied in some of

(20:01):
his speeches about how he served. A lot of that
now as being fact checked and scrutinized. So there's a
lot of back and forth as essentially the campaigns are
poking each other with a stick to try to find
out what's going to make them bleed.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
But I will tell you what's odd is it's the
Washington Post this morning with the headline Harris copies Trump's
promise on no tax for tips. It was CNN's fact
check that said this guy never carried a rifle in combat,
and then all kind of covering the stories of people
that were in his National Guard outfit, basically saying, yeah,

(20:39):
he left, went outside of protocol to leave to avoid deployment.
He definitely had the wrong rank listed on his bio
at the time of him leaving. But never mind, I'm
not attacking him as much as I'm saying he is
kind of playing it different. You know, usually you get
the wall of matrix reality. If you're reading Fox, it's

(21:01):
one thing. If you're reading CNN, it's another. And that's
not really the case in this attempt to see what sticks,
and so far weird stuck. It even got him the
VP job money claim. I don't think Joy is going
to that's what they're trying to peddle now that the
Kamala has brought Joy back to politics, the laughter, the smiling.

(21:22):
But yeah, I don't think anybody really knows what will stick.
What I hope with stick is tell me your stance
on issues, tell me your policies and solutions. Are we
ever going to get to back in this job interview?

Speaker 5 (21:36):
Hey make fun of Al Gore, but at least he
had a.

Speaker 7 (21:39):
Lock box to talk lock box that it was policy related.
You know, these days, all we're getting is personality stuff.
And look, I'm still waiting for the big sit down
interview that the Harris Walls ticket does. There's got to
be something at some point here to answer some of
these basic questions we you know, jd Vance brought it
up in a series of bits years over the weekend.

(22:01):
We don't know anything about Kamala Harris's policies. I mean
that first business we heard about, you know, not taxing
tips in Vegas. Again, as you said, the Copyle Trump
wild the idea of that same crowd in Nevada, because
it's Nevada, a state where everyone works in hospitality and
lives off tips.

Speaker 5 (22:17):
So just a pandering comment to the people there.

Speaker 7 (22:21):
But you know, whether or not it's a good policy,
what the CBO thinks, you know, all that stuff we
haven't really heard from.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
Do we have sixty more seconds?

Speaker 5 (22:30):
Yep?

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Oh good. I was just going to say, you bring
up a great point, because it's what's left to have
the real time.

Speaker 5 (22:35):
Bring up a great point. We do have sixty more seconds.
If I don't, then we don't know.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
But you're very good with because it's it's what's left
to be played in the game and things that are
really outside the campaign's control. She is going to have
to do an interview sooner or later, and somebody's going
to ask her some tough questions. And if she's has
some word salads like the past, that's going to be
a problem. Sooner or later, whether it's one or three,
she's going to have to debate, and she is capable
of having as bad a night as Joe. Not for

(23:00):
sinility reasons, but we all remember the twenty twenty campaign,
and then there's the convention, and then there's the Middle
East and the escalating fighting and the iye Israel problem
and the nineteen sixty eight correlation to twenty twenty four.
That all still has to play out. And something tells
me that's far more defining than weird or Joy or

(23:21):
even whether the guy carried a rifle or not.

Speaker 7 (23:23):
But in this timeframe, I mean, can we do all
that in six weeks?

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Ready or not? Here we come Rory. By the way,
we're gonna I know you're gonna come back and we're
gonna do a whole rap on this. But because it's
morning radio and people can't always that's why we have
the podcast. If you want to catch up, can you
narrow down to two or three favorite Olympic moments? I
know you will. You like Stephen Nadorsiic with the pommel horse.

(23:49):
I know that was one of yours. But did you
have a well you said, all.

Speaker 7 (23:54):
Right, well, long as I think about my favorite moments,
Oh to the Irish team, the Irish rowers, but they
great for the past few years now, so that was
fun to see the Irish guys do so well again
and they have.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
A great So loyal to Ireland. You are so loyal?

Speaker 7 (24:10):
Well, you know, well, because there's so American focused on
the coverage that you like, there are other countries that.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Have oh absolutely absolutely well, yeah, and I think the
star of the Olympic Games was a French swimmer, right,
marsh wellme.

Speaker 5 (24:22):
Was pretty good. You know, nothing he's out there either.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
I think that game against France yesterday we went out
with a bang, not a whimper. That was one of
my favorite moments I always met. Yeah, oh the women.
I mean that last second shot. I mean, and then
I went and googled can you believe there's no I mean,
if Gabby Williams of France isn't signed on an NWNBA

(24:46):
team by the end of this week, they don't know
what they're doing. I think I'm going to go with
the men's gymnastics getting back into the medals with the bronze.
I thought the women after twelve years getting gold and
soccer was huge. I fell in love with women's rugby.
I can't put it. The only moment I can't explain
is how did Snoop Dogg become the star.

Speaker 5 (25:04):
Of this Olympic?

Speaker 7 (25:06):
And then yeah, and then how is the US so
suddenly so bad at diving?

Speaker 5 (25:10):
It seems it was something we had a lot on
for years and then.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Greg Luganus hit his head. It's never been the same.
But Roy will be back with Hies and Low's of
the Olympic Games at our third hour. If you can't
be around for that, don't forget the podcast on your
iHeartRadio app. All right, forty two minutes after the hour,
if you're just waking up, and these are your top
five theories of the day, in order of importance, I
might add numeral ooh no exciting. Escalating regional tensions. The

(25:38):
Pentagon says the US is strengthening forces in the Middle East.
A Pentagon statement issued on Sunday says Secretary of Defense
Lloyd Austin is reiterating the Biden administration's commitment to take
every possible step to defend Israel. Now we had Hasbaalah
launched thirty rockets into Israel, not a single casualty, all blocked,

(25:59):
but an Iranian offensive growing tensions from Lebanon. The USS
Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and the USS Georgia Guided
Missile Submarines are heading into the region, although the statement
doesn't specify when they'll arrive. The Lincoln, which contains f
thirty five sea fighters, was originally scheduled to arrive towards

(26:19):
the end of this month, seems to be on a
more urgent pace now, and that was originally intended to
replace the USS Theodore Roosevelt. Instead, the Lincoln and the
Georgia will join the Roosevelt in the Middle East. Coma Coma, coma,
Kama comma camee? Did I just do a Kamala Harris? Yeah, boy,
George Karmacamellion comic comie. I'll tell you why. No, I'll

(26:42):
let Mark Mayfield tell you why. And our Road to
the White House.

Speaker 5 (26:45):
Road to the White House.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Twenty twenty four.

Speaker 10 (26:47):
Donald Trump's running mate it is defending the former president's
comments questioning Kamala Harris's racial identity. In an interview with
the CNN's State of the Union, Ohio Senator J. D.
Vance accues Harris of being a comeleon.

Speaker 9 (26:58):
I believe that Kamala Harris is whatever she says she is,
But I believe importantly that President Trump is right that
she's a chameleon. She pretends to be one thing in
front of one audience, she pretends to be something different
in front of another audience.

Speaker 10 (27:10):
Trump last month claimed Harris, who was bi racial, previously
claimed Indian heritage but then turned black. And President Biden,
explaining why he decided to end his reelection campaign in
an interview with the CBS Sunday morning, Biden said polls
showed the race between him and Donald Trump was neck
and neck. He added he was concerned it would negatively
impact other Democrats running in the House and Senate in November.
I'm Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Well, the Paris Summer Games are officially closed, and now
the clock begins to tick. I'm planning in Los Angeles
for the twenty twenty eight Summer Games. Tammy Trujuilo has details.

Speaker 13 (27:40):
Mayor Karen Bass spent time at the Paris Games, and
during the closing ceremony Sunday, she said, one of LA's
goals will be to have a Carlss Olympics.

Speaker 14 (27:48):
It is our goal in Los Angeles to have a
car free games. And you know what that means because
we're a very car dependent city. But it means that
if you are going to attend any of the sports venue,
were going to have to take public transportation.

Speaker 9 (28:02):
She says.

Speaker 13 (28:03):
Los Angeles will be bringing in thousands of buses from
neighboring cities and states to help make that happen. I'm
Tammy Triho. It'll be a meanless summer Games in LA.
I'll be watching on television the annual meteor shower. It's
its Apex overnight tonight and it's supposed to be an
amazing show.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Scott car reports.

Speaker 15 (28:27):
The Perseats are one of the most anticipated skywatching events
of the year as it typically delivers a high rate
of shooting stars, potentially as many as one hundred per
hour in darker locations. Experts predict good weather conditions by
and large for this year's show. Because the moon will
be setting at around eleven thirty pm Eastern Time, experts say,

(28:48):
get away from light sources around you, and you shouldn't
need a telescope or binoculars to see the show.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
I'm Scott Carr. I'll be one of the few watching
it wearing a seat pap. I'll be sound asleep all right.
Areas of your morning show interest. In the NFL, the
Saints beat the Cardinals sixteen fourteen, Seahawks sixteen three over
the Chargers. Good win for Seattle Titans here in Nashville
seventeen thirteen over the forty nine Ers Tampa. You're a
winner of the Bucks seventeen fourteen over the Bengals, Browns

(29:15):
fel to the Packers twenty three to ten, and the
Jets by three over the Commanders. I remind everyone none
of these games counted.

Speaker 10 (29:23):
Hey, I'm Olympic gold medalist Scott Hamilton, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael Dell Jornale.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Next half hour, we're gonna visit with Chris Walker from
the GOP. Why is it when you're on KamalaHarris dot
com you get paragraph after paragraph a bio narrative, but
not a single word on where she stands on an
issue or her policy initiatives? Is this all a part
of hiding in playing sight. We'll talk about that with Chris,
But first, suffer not thy Supreme Court bar attorney and

(29:53):
White House correspondent John Decker from joining us. So Joe's
back and I got admit no sooner last half hour
did I say hearing his voice, I kind of missed him. Well,
apparently we're going to see a lot of them. He's
thinking about hitting the campaign trail.

Speaker 16 (30:07):
Well, I don't know about a lot of them. We'll
see him out in the campaign trail with Kamala Harrison,
in fact, as early as this Thursday. That's when the
two of them will do a joint appearance in suburban Maryland,
not far from Washington, DC. And he also indicated in
an interview that he did yesterday that aired on CBS
that he and the vice president will do a joint

(30:30):
campaign appearance in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. The problem
here is that, as you know quite well because you
talk about it every day, Michael, the president is not
very popular even within his own party, and I don't
know if we're going to see a lot of these
types of joint events going forward from now through November
the fifth.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Well, Maryland was kind of symbolic and close. That doesn't
make a whole lot of sense, and they're not going
to have any problems securing Maryland. But I guess going
to a battleground state that actually surprised me when you
said that.

Speaker 16 (31:01):
Well, that's right, Pennsylvania is a state that Joe Biden
is comfortable in. He was born in Pennsylvania, grew up
in Pennsylvania Wilmington, Delaware, a stone's throw from the very
large media market of Philadelphia. So I think that's one
of the reasons why he suggested this idea. What he
said in that interview with CBS was doing an event

(31:24):
that he's putting together with Pennsylvania's very popular governor, Jos Shapiro.
So you know, if you have jos Shapiro on the
campaign stage along with the Vice president and Joe Biden.
I think it's safe to say that Joe Biden will
likely be the least popular politician up on that campaign
stage during their event that they will have over the

(31:44):
course of the next few weeks.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
I'm always unprofessional and shameless when I say you're one
of my favorites to talk to. This is John Deker,
a White House correspondent. This is interesting because this hasn't
happened very often. So is this an open election? We
got a former president and a sitting vice president and
a current president. The rematch is off. He's dropped out
of the race campaign. I don't know how this is
perceived by voters.

Speaker 16 (32:07):
Yeah, it's an odd thing. You know, when you think
about these types of situations, they don't come up that
often in our history. I think back to the year
two thousand, Al Gore really kept Bill Clinton at an
arms length distance. He didn't want to be seen with
Bill Clinton, nor did he want Bill Clinton campaigning for him,

(32:28):
Whereas in nineteen eighty eight George H. W. Bush very
much wanted to do as many events as possible with
Ronald Reagan, who is still extremely popular in the country
and it didn't hurt.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Yeah, that's a no brainer.

Speaker 5 (32:39):
At the same time, with Ronald Reagan, we might both.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Need to go back and do some research. And you've
got better grades, so maybe you should do it. But
I don't think LBJ did a lot at all for
his vice president, and then of course the distraction of
RFK being assassinated, and then there were two other candidates
that were in that race. But I don't think LBJ
did much either. In the few times that this has happened,
usually they lay low, I guess Maryland and then go

(33:05):
be Scratton. Joe is probably acceptable. I don't think. I
think you're right to your opening line. I don't think
we're going to see him very much after that. Were
you surprised in the CBS interview he was so I guess,
frank about what happened. I mean, he was pretty much
run off. He didn't mix words about it.

Speaker 16 (33:23):
Well, yeah, I mean he said it in the nicest
possible way, saying he didn't want to be a distraction,
and that is pretty true, nor did he want to
get blamed if the Democrats did not do well in
the November election. In the sense that he would perhaps
be seen or perceived as a drag on Democrats running
for Congress or running for the US Senate. So that's

(33:46):
what those are, the own work, those are Joe Biden's
own works. Yeah, and he did what he said during
the course of that interview.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
I mean, i'll'll give you one last final say. But
he didn't necessarily give in that he thinks Kamala Harris
can beat Donald Trump any better than him. He didn't
cave on that at all. It was the part about
being a drag on the rest of the ticket that
seemed to be the decision maker for him, and then
the totality of where it was coming from, which I
think you and I would read into that people like

(34:14):
Nancy Pelosi. But that was probably far more. I got
more out of that interview than I did his farewell address,
that's for sure. That's about where he was.

Speaker 5 (34:21):
You know.

Speaker 16 (34:21):
One of the things he also said, Michael in the
interview at the very top was that it was going
to be a very close selection. He's probably the only
one out there who believes it was going to be
a close selection. That's that's the reason why so many
Democrats were coming to him imploring for him to get
out of the race to you know, make waves for it.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
It'll be close now, but it wasn't headed for close
before he left.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Hill, Jo Oro
