Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's me Michael.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show can be heard live five to eight
am Central, six to nine Eastern and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio,
or Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and we're grateful you're here.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Now. Enjoy the podcast. Good morning American, It's Friday two three.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Starting your morning off right.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michae o'pell.

Speaker 4 (00:33):
Charm Ah, you're merely blink and Paul Harvey is back.
It's Friday, August the fourteenth year. About Lord twenty twenty
six as sixty two is chasing me like two guys
with a shovel at a cemetery chasing eight.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
I'm on, I can't believe I'm going to be sixty
two years old.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
Ah, good morning, Welcome to Friday, August the fourteenth. President
Trump will visit the state of New York today to
tout the dropping crime rates. You think that's something America
would care about. What's more important than being saved? Vice
President Jade Van says keeping oil and gasoline affordable in
the United States is the top priority of the war
of Iran, which is another way of saying the strain

(01:15):
of poor moves, which don't forget. The top priority was
that these crazy nuts that fund an armed terrorist don't
have a weapon of mass destruction.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
I thought that was number one. I think it still is.
Luigi Mangioni coppying a plea. Isn't there be a Mangioni movie?

Speaker 4 (01:36):
What are you kidding? Absolutely? And who would play him?
Who is handsome enough to play this assassin?

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Laughing? We were just laughing the other day.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
Why is it Tom Cruise has to sprint in every
movie he's ever made?

Speaker 1 (01:55):
He likes them.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
He must like the way he looks running full speed
and he looks good. Angelia plead guilty to federal charges
and the killing of the United Healthcare CEO. Brian Thompson
will have more on that in our Top five Stories
of the day. Throughout the morning, the board of the
Kennedy Center will make another attempt to add President Trump's
name to the venue.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Who cares?

Speaker 4 (02:19):
Millions across the Midwest and the Ohio Valley are under
thread of severe storms and Spider Man brand new day again.
I will never say anything out loud negative about this movie.
My wife has told me it would offend too many people.
I'll simply say it wasn't for me.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
It is the fastest film ever to hit seven hundred
million dollars domestically. We've had this conversation before. A lot
of that is due to ticket prices, which, by the way,
I'd like to bring up. So Nick gets this wild idea, Hey,
let's go to Minneapolis and watch the Thunder play the

(02:59):
Tea Wolves on Christmas Day, to which I look at
him and I go and you really think your mother
and sisters are going to let us miss Christmas Eve
and Christmas Day, not to mention two important family days,
but my personal favorites are traditions around Christmas Eve.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Well, we'll just bring them.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
You really think your sisters want to go to Minnesota
in December so you can go to the level of
selfishness was astounding to me.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
He's still on the home account, obviously.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
I just you know, He's like, you know, I want
to I just presume the rest of the world does.
And I'm like, you know, I appreciate your love for
the Thunder, but you might want to find a different weekend,
and then we're just looking at ticket in a different month,
in a different month. Yeah, well, if you're gonna go
to Minnesota, it's a little cold. What was interesting, though,

(03:49):
is we started looking at tickets. You know, you can't
go to an NFL game or an NBA game, really,
I mean, I guess if you're sad in the nosebleed,
but presumably on the lower level for hundred three hundred
dollars a ticket and most of them were over five
hundred a ticket. Well, somebody's got to pay those one
hundred and fifty million dollars salaries. You know, some of

(04:13):
my greatest memories Chicago Stadium. Sure, my dad would take
me and my brothers. You mean to tell me if
I wanted to take my three sons to a basketball game,
it's two grand and that's before we park and before
we eat.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
That's a lot of no, no, no popcorn. Dad, I'm
really thirsty. Sorry, son, we're broke.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
Save your spit. Isn't that ridiculous? You could fly to
Europe for less, then you can sit and watch this
two hour game. I was even looking at the Indiana
Fever and you can't. They're like one hundred and fifty
one hundred and sixty if you're anywhere near the court.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, but they fight. That's what I like.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Yeah, that's like a hockey game and a cat f
It might have a game breakout. The obvious things in
life are the toughest to explain. I've grown convinced of that.
I'll never forget the nightmare that was eight years of
Barack Obama, because well, there were two dynamics involved. Barack

(05:19):
Obama would be truthful defining the problem and then distorative
in the solution. And you can do that in a
simple line. Like it's easy for Lsied, for example, to say,
look at your paycheck after taxes, the next biggest withholding

(05:42):
is your insurance. Well, imagine if that went just to
taxes and then you didn't have insurance, And I'm thinking
to myself, where's the panda there? But okay, the presumption
is to act like that it'd be a wash for you,
and that you would have no surprises and unlimited care.
And of course nothing works that way. And so like

(06:07):
when we talk about things that are simple to say,
especially to an ignorant mass, it becomes almost hard to answer.
So the right question is the Cato Institute, Cato Institute.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Just yesterday I had on.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
David Bonson, who is one of the finest economists and
minds in America. I found him on Fox Business and
lucky for you and me and all of us, he
became a friend and he comes on every week. He
doesn't get paid to come on every week, but we
had him just kind of explain, you know, what if
these socialist saw won, what if they did everything they said?

(06:47):
Then what And of course it's such an unreasonable question,
it's hard to answer.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
You know, It's like.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Suppose I lit myself on fire and jumped off the
Seer's Tower, Then what kind of a thing? So and
I know it's not the serious tower anymore, no calls
from Chicago. So Katie Institute just ask a similar question. Okay,
you want to do socialism democratic socialism style, who's going

(07:16):
to pay the two hundred tillion dollar cost? See that's
the adult in the room question to ask. And all
the little rebellious kids and all these crazy little anti Israel,
anti American operatives all get put in their place. Immediately.
You're asking for something that is impossible. The answer is no.

(07:41):
Now is there a step in between that you can
pander and fool some ignorant people and get votes. And
I don't even think it enough to get where they're going.
I think they're a parasite that will die with the host.
But if that's what it takes to take out one
of the two parties, then we get on to the
second party and get back to being Americans.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Great, why am I hearing Jimmy Suits for crying outline?
He talks so loud, I get to hear the recording. Yeah,
he was yelling.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
We'll get to Jimmy Suits talkbacks and your talkbacks coming up?

Speaker 1 (08:14):
All right.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
So Cato Institute finally asks the adult in the room question,
who's going to pay for domestic Democratic socialism?

Speaker 1 (08:20):
It's two hundred trillion dollars.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
Democratic Socialists of America proposed new spending that could more
than triple the federal outlays.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Government pay for all.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
Healthcare, housing, higher education, electricity, jobs, or government guaranteed retirement.
Ven benefits are expanded, and of course, guaranteed paid family
leave is universal. Fossil fuels are eliminated, reparations are paid.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
I mean, really, look at him.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
The DSA platform alone claims that the bill for all
of this will be sent to the richest individuals and corporations.
So you're going to ask all the businesses that employ
us and all the billionaires to pay it off. You
confiscate every dollar of high end wealth and corporate profit.

(09:09):
You would only cover a fraction of the cost. This
is what I was trying to get, you know, Bonson
to say, and the way I would say it. This
is how I used to end the conversation on global warming. Okay,
I'll grant you global warming is real, though it's not.
I will grant you we will do everything you're demanding,

(09:30):
and that means sitting at home every day in complete
darkness till we starve to death. You wouldn't impact the
temperature by more than one tenth of one degree. Now,
how dumb do you think I am? And how long
are we going to debate all of these dedevelopment ideas

(09:54):
for one tenth of one degree? That's what this reminds
me of. Oh, just I wish somebody on the major
numbers go, oh, so you're going to tax all the trillionaires,
billionaires and millionaires and pay for this, But it wouldn't
add up tally that bill up and at ballparks between

(10:18):
seventy one and two hundred trillion dollars in cost. If
you confiscate every dollar of high end wealth and corporate profits,
you wouldn't cover a fraction of that. All of it
put together. Medicare alone is an estimated spending of forty

(10:44):
to seventy five trillion dollars over ten years. Reparations, federal guarantees, infrastructure,
green energy investment, larger retirement benefits, free housing, paid family leave,
no cost college would increase spending by ten million dollars
or more on the higher estimates. In total, DSA's new
spending would cost seventy one to two hundred and twelve

(11:06):
trillion dollars.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Now, who pays?

Speaker 4 (11:10):
If you text the four hundred wealthiest Americans are only
worth six point six trillion dollars, confiscate all their wealth,
you'd cover nine percent of the low end estimates of
the cost of this. How long are we going to
have this stupid discussion? And can't somebody make a nice

(11:32):
thirty second ad and run the crap out of it?

Speaker 1 (11:36):
It just doesn't add up. And when it.

Speaker 4 (11:44):
When it comes to having a reasonable debate, let's say
in Michigan with Rogers and lsa ed. No, Lsayed would
rather have a good old fashioned, no pads tackle football
game with him instead of a debate, which I don't
recommend for Rogers, isn't that masculinity? Well, God forbid you
connect any of these dots right. Speaking of that Michigan race,

(12:07):
as I showed you the morning after that, the numbers
don't add up for Lsied. Now the polls suggests that
Rogers is leading fifty one to forty seven. May I
add too that only twenty eight percent of US trust polls,
but also quote the poll A lot to cover today,
a lot of smart people to help us understand it. Oh,

(12:27):
did I mention last night we had preseason football. I
fell asleep during the Steelers and the Packers, which, by
the way, my Aura Ring was very proud of me
for getting seven hours and fifty eight minutes of sleep.
Pray season had a found football Steelers.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Twenty eight nine over the Packers.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
I'm mccarthier up again, Lions Law sixteen fourteen to the Bengals,
Chargers twenty seven seven over the Texans, Cardinals.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Feed the Raiders twenty seven fourteen.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
The Tennis eight Titans on the road nineteen thirteen over
the forty nine ers.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
It must be preseason. Wait what.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
Tonight Brocos and Falcons, Baker Mayfield and the Bucks versus
the Jets. His NFL preseason weekend continues on your morning show.
All right, what's happening in iron right now? This is
not just another headline because it could hit your wallet
directly when trouble breaks out in the Middle East. The

(13:30):
oil moves. JD Bance today in the News is saying
that's the number one priority controlling gas prices in America.
That's hard to do because gas goes up, shipping spikes,
and suddenly your dollar doesn't go as far we've seen
it before. And the banks are forecasting even higher gold
and silver prices ahead. The question is have you been

(13:51):
and are you positioned for what's next? And if you're
considering gold and silver, and you should be, who you
work with really matters' Why I trust Layer Capital. They've
been helping Americans protect their savings for nearly thirty years,

Speaker 3 (14:45):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
No that is, that's walking the shot. That's what that is.
Let me tell you something.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
When I was young, I was always like embarrassed to dance.
I thought it felt I would slow dance, and I
loved it. It was romantic.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah, fast dancing. I always felt stupid.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
I was too self conscious and I didn't drink or anything,
so there was nothing to you know, get my ambitions down.
You could be in the kick line with the Rockheads
if you but these moves I do for fun.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Sure they look good? Well yeah they kind of.

Speaker 4 (15:13):
If I had just I'll never forget Sean McIntyre was
one of our closest friends.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
He was a year older than us, and we went
to the prom.

Speaker 4 (15:20):
And there Sean tucks the same Sewn from Bible study,
the same Shawn from hanging out watching football games, and
he came out and it looked like Michael Jackson man
swearing those hips in his feet and doing the.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
And I was like, it was just so odd.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
It was like it was like seeing a zoo animal,
one of your real friends that knew how to dance, And.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
You're like, where did that come from? They have hm.
He came back from college singing that.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
My ma same mumussimon ma guza, my mas see mum
samon ma guta. That was his voice. And I'll tell
you another fun story. For thirty years, me and my
friend Keith would do Mike Me and you suck in
Shawn's voice, and Sewn never actually said that, but for
some recent we quoted it like he did.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
That happens every once in a while.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
But you got admit, though, I joke around and I
got some moves you do.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
I think I'm a dancer.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
I think I'm a shoulder shimmy, I'm a deck I'm
a dancer. Actor, singer, comedian. I'll put it on your
what'ch in the order officially, but that was a yes.
I went from raising the roof to walk in the
shoulder ship so lotally all right. Producer's Price Index, a
key gage of inflation, held steady. That's another good sign.
After a revised tenth of a percent decline in June,

(16:31):
Mark Mayfield has more.

Speaker 5 (16:32):
Markets had expected the index, which measures prices received by
producers for goods and services, would increase by two tenths
of a percent. Numbers released Thursday by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics showed that food prices fell nearly a percent,
while at three point one percent, dropping energy prices was
offset by increases to the costs of construction and services.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
I'm Wert Mayfield and other news. We are expecting more
of these storms. Millions across the Midwest and the Ohio
Valley under the threat of severe storms.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Be very weather alert.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
Today, the board of the Kennedy Center says they'll make
another attempt at adding the president's name to the venue.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
I wish they just move on.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
In the big story of the day, Luigi Mangioni will
plead guilty to federal charges in the killing of the
United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Hi, my name is Tim
Daily and my morning show is your Morning Show with
Michael del Jiorno.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can
be heard live each weekday morning five to eighth Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Nashville, Tennessee, Tupelo, Mississippi,
and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and take the drive to work with
but better late than ever.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
We're grateful you're here. Now, enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 4 (17:49):
I don't want to, you know, burst the bubble, but
it doesn't get any better than this gang delicious cup
of coffee in a yetti indoors air conditioning, lights dimmed,
cozied up with you.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
This is living Folks.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
Friday, August the fourteenth, twenty twenty sixth thirty five, after
the hour, Early Bird gets the warm, sleepy s girl,
Missus and nut rise and shine. We got us a
Friday to live together and understand together. I want to
start a little story. I was always a much better
program director, leader manager than I ever was. A talent
problem is no matter how high you went and management.
There wasn't a lot of money, No it was not,

(18:26):
and a lot of aggravation. So I find myself a talent,
But I was you know, I never brag about myself
as a talent or or anything else. A baseball I
was good program director.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
I was good.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
I think the key to being a great program director
was I never stopped being a listener. That's the biggest
first mistake program directors make. They stop thinking like and
living like listeners. If you always keep the mindset of
a listener, you'll always be a great instinctive program director. Now,
my dad was a great instinctive talent. He too was

(18:59):
a program director early in his career, and probably I'm
guessing a pretty good one. But talent, you couldn't teach
this instinctiveness, and so, as fate would have it, I became.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
You know, we need some old story tend of music.
The older I get, the more stories I've found myself telling.
What do you think that is? Is that a part
of aging?

Speaker 4 (19:21):
That could be by the way, I went to the
eind doctor this week and have cataracts. No way, nothing
will make you feel older than that. I just want
to go find an old Chrysler and drive around with
those big sunglasses and just give in to it.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
But anyway, I digress.

Speaker 4 (19:36):
So, as fate would have it, I became my dad's
program director at a very young age.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
I think I was twenty three years.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
Old, and I co hosted the morning show, and I
was the program director of News Talk six ninety W
or Talk Radio six ninety W TIX. So now this
is awkward because when you're managing your father, you know,
you one minute you could talking and everything's going great,
and he was by and large a very good employee,

(20:06):
so to speak. But every now and then you go
too far and he turns into your dad. Michael, shut up,
you know, that's it. That's the end of the meeting.
I think I know a little better than you. No,
But one time I was going through and I had to,
unlike the other talent, with Dad, I would have to
say I would have to explain to him what he
was doing right. And finally he was really my dad always,

(20:28):
you know, had the best advice at the right moment.
And he looked at me and sayd you know, Michael,
everything you're saying is really smart.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
I'm proud of you.

Speaker 4 (20:37):
I don't want to talk about it though, And I
said why, and he goes, I don't like to, you know,
make a study of what I do. It ruins it
for me. And I can tell you it's a talent.
I'm the same way, and I get it. I get
what he was saying. And I bring that up because
I feel like I'm getting to know you, guys. And
you see how the Yankee comes out of me every

(20:59):
now and then. Normally i'd say y'all, but I'd tell you, guys,
came out. I'm getting to know you. But anyway, I
think I can anticipate what you're going to do.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
Now.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
This is what fascinates me, and it happens every day
in the Platinum Card hour. We usually have our most
deepest and serious discussions in this hour, and we usually
only have our most immature, silly discussions in this hour.
And it fascinates me how they spill over into the
next one. And I can't help but think, like I

(21:31):
can't help but think sometimes, what if somebody tuned in
for the very first time ever, I'm in the middle
of the fact guy right, what could possibly be going
through their mind? What the hell is this? Who's this
fat guy? And why is he sucking the jelly out
of donuts? I mean, you know, so I was thoroughly textures,

(21:55):
you know, fighting a little behind your tooth twenty minutes.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
But anyway, I thought, for sure, you guys are gonna
jump on.

Speaker 4 (22:07):
It was just just like a quick instant thought because
I never know what it's going to be, but you
always pick something and it never has anything to do
with what is urgent and important. It's something I just said.
And so when I was dancing, I had two thoughts. One,
why am I out of breath? Hey, it's not easy
to do a shimmi walk. And by the way, theater

(22:28):
of the minds, I don't have to really do it,
but Jeffrey will tell.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
You I do it. Yeah, he does it on a
daily basis.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
And I think, and I can see you guys on
the camera, I see myself on the camera, and I'm
telling you, these are good moves. These are like solid
gold dancer moves. I'm telling you should take it to Vegas.
And I thought, for a split second, watch them all
jump on. How they felt boys in particular always felt
stupid fast dancing, And I thought that's where everybody was
going to go, I made one simple reference to my gosh,

(22:56):
it's August fourteenth, I'm gonna be sixty two. Yeah, and
no they picked that. Everybody's talking about how old I am.
To the talk back line.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
We go in Jimmy suits, my dear Jimmy suits from Hobby.

Speaker 4 (23:07):
Y'all really hotdown man, I'm coming into Memphis today tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
I know you are one hundred way I better put
on that ice suit.

Speaker 4 (23:17):
God blood, you know he by the way, I'll break
I'll break character here. So Jimmy texts me last week,
hey man, even go to Saint Jude with me, and
I go, well, first of all, like the Saint Jude Classic.
I don't want to be negative because you know, I
know everybody's listening to Memphis on.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
W r re C.

Speaker 4 (23:38):
It is that last tournament before we start getting into
the You know what what pg A technically is doing
is the playoffs. So not everybody goes like, don't expect
Rory McElroy at the Saint Jude. He's not going to
be there. And it's always late in offs, so it

(24:00):
is always like you're gonna die hot.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
It is swampy.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
Yeah, I mean this is like, this is like in
Jeremiah Johnson when he's walking through the desert and he
sees a little bald head sticking out that kind of hot.
So Jimmy's like, uh, I got tickets. You want to
go to the Saint Jubeovie. I'm like, Jimmy, it's gonna
be over one hundred degrees tom So.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
No, I don't want to go. I love you. I
love golf. I can't even play in this, let alone
stand around and watch other people can't imagine. He calls up.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
I'm telling you that it's passive aggressive way of sending
the message to me.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
I'm going all to the Saint jo Right somewhere, Marlo
Thomas is disgusted with me.

Speaker 5 (24:40):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Next up is Big John and Poughkeepsie, New York.

Speaker 6 (24:43):
A quick look at the Betty Markets for the next
press Secretary looks.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
Like Scott Jennings just overtook Elena Habber bookt and he's
still passive aggressive because I miss launched.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (24:59):
Look, you know we talked yes about the changing of
the roles. It used to be like Pierre Salinger, you
had a great career and it ended with the honor
of being a White House press secretary. Now we tend
to go with unknowns who become press secretaries and then
they host shows or they're talking heads on shows. I

(25:19):
don't know where that would bring No one would do
a better job. I mean, Scott Jennings would turn out
to be the greatest White House presser. In fact, I
think you could arguably have the two best White House
press secretaries back to Beck and Caroline Levitt is still
a freak. Caroline Levitt was this good at twenty six
and twenty seven.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
I raised daughters. I don't even to be president of
the Bek club in high school. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
I mean she must have been when you played tea
with her as a child. They had to be stimulating conversations.
I mean, I just I can't tell you. I can't
speak highly enough of her. I think she's going to
be a senator. I think she could be a governor.
I think she could be anything she wants to be.
She could be a pres someday. I mean, if this
is twenty eight, what's fifty six. But anyway, I just
don't know what would be in it for somebody like

(26:06):
Scott Jennings. I don't know where that would take him.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
I will say this. I once had an.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
Opportunity to work in two places that I really wanted
to work, and both of them you just said the
same thing. Why would you want to live there? They
are a bunch of liberal freaks. Because they're a bunch
of liberal freaks, and because deep down I'm a Scott Jennings,
I want to reasonably sit down and even talk with
the unreasonable, because to me, there's nothing less rewarding than

(26:32):
just talking to people that think like me. I would
rather go find a new way, a different way to
reach people and make them think, and even if they
won't admit their thinking, their thinking, and so I think
he's kind of wired that way. It would make him
probably the most effective communicating president in history.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
He'd be right up there with Ronald Reagan.

Speaker 4 (26:56):
But there's something about me that wants Scott Jennings to
stay right. Worry is, even though it's a small amount
of people, there's no more than two hundred thousand in
demo watching CNN, but maybe there's somebody there speaking the truth.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
At least.

Speaker 4 (27:10):
Now you're talking to a guy that wants preached to grass.
Never forget we had a God in America rally at
the Parthenon. Here in Nashville, it was the five of
us on stage and two people sitting in the grass.
I was mostly preaching the gospel to blades of grass.
But oh, even they'll praise the Lord if no one

(27:30):
else has ears to hear. So I don't know if
it's me just thinking it's beneath Scott or realistically strategizing
there's no sense in it for Scott. I'll stick with
my pickpick John. But I think you got a better
gut than I do on this. Who knows what he's
in Arizona.

Speaker 6 (27:51):
Morning all, Michael, I know your birthday isn't for a
couple of weeks, and sixty two is a big one.
You've officially become a senior. Sweat it. And did you
guys know that birthdays are actually good for your health.
It's a true study show those that have more birthdays
live longer, being anyway, have a great death.

Speaker 4 (28:14):
Friday, guys, can you imagine we're all in Phoenix, It's
the night before our meetings.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
What do you want to do? What do I do?

Speaker 4 (28:20):
Let's go, Let's go to the comedy club and what
he comes out? Welcome everybody, Welcome everybody to Phoenix. You
might have noticed it's hot. Let's give her the final
say he's listening not far from here, WLAC and Nashville, Tennessee.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Hey, Michael, good morning.

Speaker 4 (28:36):
If you're worried about sixty two, just wait, man, sixty
three ain't no great shakes.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Well, have a happy birthday. Here's your tech. Thank you,
thank you. I'll take that trophy. Sure well.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
I mean the alternative is worse than being sixty two.
Something about turning sixty two. That and I don't know
what happened. You ever have this happen, like during the
week where you think it's Thursday and it's really Wednesday
something like that, and you're like, oh not, the week's
even longer. It wasn't. It's the same, you just thought
it was. So I don't know why I thought my

(29:11):
girls were juniors. So, you know, Anna is going around
and around trying to get this one class that she
doesn't need for Belmont but she does need for graduate
school and all this other I said, why not? I mean,
what makes her think she can't get in next year?
Why is why is she rushing it so much? Michael,
she's a senior. No, they're juniors. No, they're how did

(29:32):
that happen? Now, my daughters are seniors in they're moving.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
We're having move in day this weekend. This is it.
This is a final move in and then they move
back in with you.

Speaker 4 (29:42):
Well there is that, Praise God, not ane of those
She's wanting to go to the mountains. Everywhere, beautiful college
graduate students get abducted in dateline, that's where she wants
to go.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Well, so yeah, time just gets away from you.

Speaker 4 (29:59):
So I'm looking at this polling information and we've got
to find a segment to do this. Red's comment was
really that many twenty eight percent of the American people
trust political polls. The most interesting thing about this research
is it is research, right, it's a poll. So why

(30:21):
would we even discuss Rasmussen saying only twenty eight percent
trust polls When if we don't trust polls, how are
we trusting it's twenty eight percent that don't trust polls.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Do you see the game that gets played?

Speaker 4 (30:33):
And it's funny because in this study they look at
we don't trust political polls more than we don't trust
general polls. In other words, we know there's bias involved
in politics and everything has become obsessively politics, and that's
the most corrupt and the most untrusted. Now, I don't

(30:56):
know how that exegets like. I don't know if you
called me, you said I'm with and then you mentioned
a university or a network or a newspaper.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
I can think of half of us that won't want
to talk to you.

Speaker 4 (31:09):
But if you called up and said, with Rasmuss and
polling and we want to talk about new versus used cars,
are you more likely to answer questions than if they
ask something political.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
And here's what they found.

Speaker 4 (31:23):
Half of the voters don't trust polls about politics, and
a majority don't think the quality of polling has improved.
And of course we've always we've talked at nauseam as
to why they've gotten inaccurate. Just twenty eight percent of
likely voters say they trust most political polls, and I'm
sure that number is down from before the l Saiyet
election and certainly from before the Hang election. In Wisconsin,

(31:46):
fifty percent don't trust polls, twenty three percent aren't sure.
Results like the recent Wisconsin Democratic gouvenatorial primary, where polls
had one candidate winning by twenty two percent, who went
on to lose the next day Only fourteen percent believe
the current polling on political issues and events is better
than it's been in the past. Thirty six percent think

(32:08):
the average polster is more liberal than they are, while
twenty seven percent believe posters are more conservative than they are. Again,
it doesn't matter how many different ways you ask it
or what the topic is. The matrix appears, doesn't it.
There is no greater influence in America today than the matrix.
We are not the United States, we are the Divided States.

(32:30):
We are not one nation under God. We're a divided
nation under many gods, no gods, and completely divisible. And
we can't figure out what the w and WNBA stands for,
let alone liberty.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
And justice for all.

Speaker 4 (32:48):
A plurality of voters see polling bias against President Trump.
Wow you think Just twenty percent think that when they
poll on Trump, most posters are trying to help the
president passes agenda. Obviously, the other eight out of ten
have different feelings. Thirty seven percent believe most pollsters are
trying to block the President from passing his agenda, and

(33:08):
thirty one percent say posters are simply interested in reporting
the attitudes of the Americans in an unbiased manner. Here's
my takeaway from all of this, because I'm out of time.
When you don't address things like this honestly, and we won't,
whether it's socialism, whether it's polling, whether it's bias that
has led to the death of journalism, the bias of

(33:31):
the intelligencia and universities, or the bias of Hollywood and television,
and you just keep plodding forward status quo. You just
lose trust. And once you lose trust, you lose credibility.
And once you lose trust and credibility, you lose relevance.
So remember what we were talking about yesterday. These polls

(33:52):
are not designed to tell you where the American people
are or were. They're designed to influence how America acts.
But they don't have that influence anymore. The media doesn't
have that influence. Cable television is not the average audience
when you're watching CNN or MSNBC, it's less than my

(34:13):
audience was in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It's an illusion, but they
have not addressed it, and they have not addressed it
for so long. They've lost trust, which led to no credibility,
which led to irrelevance. But having said that Rogers is

(34:33):
leading outside had a mischief for everybody. And we know
the twenty eight percent is all the trust polls anymore,
because at Paul, we don't trust. Told us that you can't.
I'm telling you there's nothing left shocking in life but
the reality and truth. When police searched the car of
a man who assassinated a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband
in their own home, they found a notebook inside a

(34:56):
handwritten list of eleven websites. Now, I know what you're thinking.
They got to be web websites, right, duct tape. No,
they were data broker sites. People search sites that sell
your home address, and they do so for a couple
of bucks. Type your name into one right now. Boom,
There you are, your address, your phone number, your family names.

(35:19):
There might even be a photo of your front door.
Anyone can look you up in seconds, and you'll never
know who did scary right. That's why I use in Cognate.
It forces data brokers and people search sites to delete you,
and then they keep checking because the deleted data likes
to creep back. And Cognate scrub me from over five

(35:41):
hundred sites. And you know what I did, Absolutely nothing.
You'll lock your doors every night tonight, lock down your address.
Go to incognate I, NCGNI and Cogniti dot com. Slash Michael.
It's pennies a day. But now you can get sixty
percent of just for being a your morning show listener.

(36:02):
That's in cognitate dot com. Slash Michael. For sixty percent
off in cognitate dot com. Slash Michael because the next
time a stranger searches your name, let them find nothing.

Speaker 3 (36:12):

I'm just kidding. Good morning, great show, have a good day.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
I think I know what the my morning show is.
Your morning show liner is going to be in a
few minutes. One of my greatest childhood memories for my
kids was Memphis. We went there and we were talking
to this guy we know, he's walking with us into
the entrance to the zoo and he is, what are
you doing here? And I said, well, we live in Nashville.
We got beautiful area, but we don't have a lot
of animals. We're just we've been dying to come to
the zoo and he's talking to us. He says, follow me,

(36:49):
and we go through the turnstile and he just looks
us and goes, enjoy my zoo. He was the curator
of the zoo and let us all in for free.
It was great Memphis story. Have you Memphis, Love You?
WRC no Too hot to go to the Saint Jude Classic.
Your Morning Show continues next Hi.
