Talk six forty w HLO and AKRON, Ohio and News
Radio five seventy WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine, but we're glad
(00:20):
you're here now enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Good Morning American, It's Friday, well two three.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
This is your Morning Show with Michael O'Dell john. President
Trump's staying tight lipped about any potential agreement he may
propose during the big summit with Gladimir Putin in Alaska. Today,
(00:50):
California Governor Gavin Newsom's gone rogue, officially calling for a
special election effort to redraw the state congressional District's new
polling suggests that's two to one against the will of
the people. In Tropical Storm Aaron is closing in on
becoming a hurricane, but not heading anywhere at this point
to be a threat in the United States. Good morning,
(01:11):
Welcome to Friday, August fifteenth, twenty twenty five. This is
your Morning Show. I'm Michael del Journal eight minutes after
the hour. What a busy show. The President leaving for Alaskas,
so we got to do we got to do the
Friday with forty seven a little early today, so expected
about six forty eight Central time, seven forty eight Eastern
(01:31):
to be exact. We'll have to catch him before Marine
one swoops him off. And then our two part interview
with Roseanne Barr. The documentary is Roseanne is America and
she's even got a hot scoop for our Your Morning
Show audience. And coming up in mere minutes, Kevin, Sir,
really our futurist will talk about the meeting between Trump
and Putin and what it means really right on through
(01:54):
the twenty thirties, Roy O'Neil is here at a time
when markets are preparing for interest rate cuts, for bankruptcies
are surging, gas prices are dropping. Oh my gosh, the
scoreboard when it comes to the economy, Rory, how do
we read it well?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Right, especially with the PPI numbers yesterday that showed the
cost of making goods had surged much more than expected
the previous month, but the consumer prices.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
We saw it didn't go up as much as we expected.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
So it is just a pile of controversial or contractory data.
That's a controversial data that's coming out from these marketplaces,
and it's giving anxiety to a lot of investors right now.
You know, when we did get that PPI number yesterday,
I was expecting a bigger sell off on the dial
and the other markets didn't really see it down slightly
(02:43):
but really yeah, just essentially flat. So that was a
bit encouraging. There's still a lot of consensus that were
in for a rate cut starting next month.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah, you bring up the PPI numbers, that's a story
I broke, as you know, because you were on hold.
I like to bring that up. In fact, I think
I'm going to bring that up every day for at
least a month or that story. Well, you were locked
down hold, No, but I mean broke it. I fixed
it because no, but we were talking about it. You know,
obviously it would show up on the you know, the
(03:15):
business side before it reached the people. So you know,
in the long run, we still don't know how this
is going to play out. We got a couple of
anecdotal answers, but specifically with aluminum and Arizona tee. But
it could be copper, it could be you know, certain
individual things. So looking forward, we really don't know how
much this is going to impact what, but inevitably it
(03:37):
will and it'll affect companies and then get to the people.
So that kind of played out pretty much the way
we kind of anticipated, unless it just hadn't gotten to
the businesses yet because the deals were so fresh, no
real surprise, or maybe I don't know, I'm reaching. Maybe
that explains why the market didn't react much. Maybe they
were expecting it.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
And Michael I would also say the same thing we
say about polls, look for the trend and you know,
this is one data point.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
You know, let's see what we can get for a
trend in the next few months. Yeah, and we were
talking to our money whiz. You would have appreciated that
conversation a little bit about Okay, in the long run,
some of this is coming on the people, so it's
going to get passed along if it costs more for
them to do their goods and services they're going to
pass that on to you, so the consumer is going
(04:24):
to be gradually paying for it. But even if they don't,
and even even if the companies eat it and absorb it, well,
that's just less profit and that's not good because that's
less expansion or less hiring or less salary increases. So
you know, careful where you go with this tariff thing.
H Yeah, it can produce a lot of income that
a Congress down the road may spend very differently than
(04:45):
the expectation today. But the early results are early and mixed.
That's the bottom line, right, Yeah, pretty much. And you
did mention the surge and bankruptcies.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
That is something that we're also following, but they're not
necessarily related to the economy. I mean, for for twenty
one in Kodak or declaring bankruptcy, that's not really about
the economy. That's you know, we're not going to the
mall and we're not buying film. That's that's not really
over an economic message.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Bad news for our friends in Rochester, New York. But
I'm a code I just want to and they aren't
dealing with it. Well, but yeah, that's another that's no,
it's huge all right, Rory's gonna be back next How
we're gonna talk a little bit about this meeting between
Trump and Putin. The president is lips are sealed. This
basically boils down to one Putin that nobody trusts. As
(05:33):
my brother often says, if his lips are moving, he's lying.
So it's really hard in the art of diplomacy. Even
if you feel like you got far, trust you got far,
let alone get far. There are all these other factors.
Putin ultimately would like to reassemble the Russian Empire map.
(05:54):
It's not going well, and his first stop didn't go well.
Now he could play the game, and this is my guess,
this is where I'm leading. And when he had the
call with Kim Jung un, I thought that was the giveaway.
How can I handle Trump in a way that he
feels is positive, It moves things forward, and I continue
to fight because that's kind of what Kim Jong un did. Now,
(06:20):
in the case of North Korea, they did stop all
of the constant provocative nuclear testing. It slowed down, his
rhetoric slowed down. But at the end of the day,
North Korea is still an alliance with Iran, with China
(06:42):
and with Russia, and there are North Korean troops on
the ground fighting for Vladimir Putin. So I suspect Putin's
game is going to be to try to make the
president feel like it's a good talk. Maybe hold off
some of these are stalled, to hold off some of
the sanctions, and or you know, pressure on anybody that
(07:08):
buys their oil, if he can kick the can and
buy some time. And then you have Donald Trump, the
Art of the Deal, who has made it crystal clear.
He sees through all of these tactics, and the President
is communicating clearly. He's going to give it his best shot.
He's going to communicate with everyone the minute he gets
(07:28):
out of the meeting. When I say everyone, I mean
European natal leaders as well as Zelensky. So here comes
the Art of the deal meeting the untrustworthy Putin. Would
ye make of that right? Kevin Sirelli is a futurist
and has what we can expect not only from this meeting,
but it's impact on Russian US relations all the way
(07:50):
through the twenty thirties. He's a historian and a futurist.
That makes great sense. You got to understand the past.
If you're going to have any idea of how the
future plays out. We'll get his unique take when your
morning show continues next, This is your Morning Show with
(08:10):
Michael del Trono. Good morning, This is your morning show.
I'm Michael del Jorna. Well, you may think the big
story is this summit in Alaska. There's a Barack Obama
story that's actually even bigger. I had details of that
coming up in minutes. The one on one summit between
Trump and Putins upon us. It's happening in Alaska. The
White House correspondent to who will be there covering it
is your White House correspondent John Decker. He's an anchorage
(08:34):
and says the President's goals are clear.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Is that this does pave the way for a second meeting,
a second summit, and then ultimately an end to the
war after three years of fighting.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Now. Decker says that Trump is going to try to
keep US allies in the loop as best he can.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
President Trump has said that after the meeting concludes, the
first person that he's going to speak to by phone
as President Zelensky, to give him a readout of what
happened at the meeting.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Decker also says It's hard to get a read on
Putin's intentions. We all know not very trustworthy, doesn't often
tell the truth.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
And I don't think anybody knows for certain what the
mood's going to be like after this meeting occurs.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
So the only way to know is to talk to
a futurist, right, Oh, my Pithon Kevin Sirelli is here.
You know I spare nothing in transition for you. I no,
but we like to take credit for finding you and
then never letting go. How do you look at this,
because the futurist in you sees how this could impact
(09:35):
our Russian US relations through the twenty thirties, and then,
of course there's a war we're trying to stop at
the same time.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
How do you combine these two things precisely?
Speaker 6 (09:44):
I remember when I was in Helsinki covering the first
Trump and Putin meeting and just how different it was
from twenty eighteen versus in twenty twenty five. And the
biggest difference is that Russia has lost more than a
million lives in Russia's war against Ukraine, and so Ukraine
meanwhile has lost more than one hundred thousand lives.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
So to put that into context. That's more for Russia.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
The loss of life more than five times of the
total Soviet Russians loss of life from every conflict since
World War Two. So when President Trump is meeting with
Putin today, remember that when you're watching Putin that he's
lost more than one million lives since he started this war.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Well, the Soviet the Soviet Afghan War considered one of
the great greatest defeats and disasters. This multiple times worse.
So I mean, any ambitions of putting back the Russian
Empire map, I mean that's out the window. The thought
of winning NATO more united than ever and ponying up
(10:49):
money along the way. So Trump's really biggest victory has
already happened as he sits down to talk. All right,
So why doesn't he take the off ramp like they
did in Afghanistan when clearly they.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Couldn't win, Because it all comes down to rare earth minerals.
President Trump, when you mentioned the meeting with President Zelensky,
which by all accounts was a disaster for President Zelensky
had really caused significant significant political damage but also geopolitical
damage as well. But since that the United States and
(11:22):
President Trump, what they did is they announced a reconstruction
fund that intertwined the United States economic relationship with Ukraine,
particularly in rare earth minerals. Now, why should people care
about that? Because Ukraine's rare earth minerals market it's the
building block and the DNA for everything from semiconductor chips
to satellite parts to the economy of the future. And
(11:45):
so if Russia has any sense of control over that
market or over those supply chains, it's a negative risk,
not just for Europe, but also for the United States.
So President Trump and trying to intertwine the ukraign reconstruction
Fund with the United States, it seemingly is a check
in a balance to Russia for inevitably when hopefully this
(12:08):
war comes to an end.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
If this was the turn of the previous century, this
would be like somebody sitting on oil and we know
automobiles and airplanes and everything else is coming. Which, by
the way, was the brilliant move of Donald Trump. Not
only I mean think all of the above. I mean
you talk about art of the deal. So he does
the mineral deal with Ukraine. That puts our presence there. Now,
(12:32):
if Russia continues to try to fight, we've got a
presence there. Now you're attacking us and our interests. I mean,
the whacks are just circled. I get a sense that Putin,
you know, one of the things that tipped me off,
and I wonder if it tipped you off when he
met with Kim Jong un, who maybe in Trump's first
term a lot of the provocative missile testing stopped, but
(12:55):
he kind of kicked the can. And it looks like
maybe Putin's looking for a way. How can I work Trump.
He'll leave feeling good and I can keep fighting a
little while longer and get away with it before the
sanctions and and harassment of those who buy our royal
kicks in you sense that's kind of where he's coming from.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Well, if you're if you're President Putin, this from the
from the Russian perspective.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
And the chatter from Moscow ahead of the meeting has
been somewhat more optimistic.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
But if you're if you're President Putin.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
This could be the time frame to make a.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
Deal, because President Trumps has.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Seemingly been more willing than other even Republicans, to make
a deal with Russia.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
And so if you look at the time in.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
President Trump's second term and where we are, you know,
a year before a midterm election, a little more than
a year before a midterm election, you know, the dynamics
could could change for Russia domestically in a way where
the government in America could become way less willing.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
To make a deal. And so from a from a
strategic standpoint.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
From Russia, really this could be the moment for them
to make a deal. A lot of folks are talking,
and John Decker is a brilliant reporter. A lot of
folks are talking about how President Trump plans to call
Zelensky right after this meeting, and noting Ukraine's absence. But
there's another third party that isn't here that I'm very
very much paying.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Attention to, and that's a Shijing Ping of the Communist.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Party of China.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
The reason being that remember when them being in Alaska.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Today the Russians and the Chinese.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Are running military drills in Alaska's backyard.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
And so for Trump to be meeting with Putin.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
If you're shijing Ping, you're wondering, you know what exactly
this means. I like to call them this sotalitarian twins
Putin and she, But what does that mean for that romance?
That has really emerged over the last few years, and
Trump is shaking that up in that dynamic up, especially
if he's willing to get out of this meeting in
a step in the direction of.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Edge Vin twins and they have two brothers, both named
Fredo Aaran and North Korea. You could have that tear Yeah,
good moments with our future is Kevin Sirelli, who's one
of my favorites. All right, so this could be the
off ramp. Uh, You're gonna have to give him something.
Is it reasonable? Uh to give Russia what they had
(15:23):
before they invaded. I mean, you're gonna have to give
him something to save face with what would be recent.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
On the table. The landslops are on the table.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
But really, more than anything, if your putin and your
economy is cratered because of these sanctions and the and
the and the restrictions from Treasury and whatnot, that's really
what you're trying to do, is you're trying to get
the United States to loosen its grip around their horrible,
pathetic economy.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
With one minute to goo, what does this summit mean
for relations? And how are the conversations going to echo
into the thirties as you mentioned.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
It's the rarer as minerals and the United States having
playing a force in Europe also being able to keep
putin further back and keep them, you know, keep the
Russians not from going further into Europe. But this is
all about the economy of the future, the economy of
the future. And I know we talk a lot about
oil and energy, and rightfully so, but it's outer space.
(16:22):
It's outer space because in order to build these satellites
and what I believe is the final frontier, which is
outer space and the space domain, you have to have
these minerals to build these satellites and space parts, and
a lot of it comes to Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
He gets the past that allows him to understand reality.
Boy does he see the future. Kevin Surly, thank you
so much for your time. This is Paul David Patterson
down in Toledo District, Belize, and my morning show is
your Morning show with Michael del Jornan. Hey, gang, it's
(16:56):
me Michael. You can listen to your morning show live.
Make us a part of your morning routine or your
drive to work companion on great stations like Talk Radio
ninety eight point three and fifteen ten WLAC, in Nashville,
Tupelos News and Talk one oh one point one and
ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk six to fifty
kste in Sacramento, California. Love to have you listen live,
(17:17):
but are grateful you're here now for the podcast. Enjoy
good morning, early bird gets the worm, sleepy squirrel, missus
the nut. Don't be the squirrel, be the bird, fly
my children, Fly to the kitchen and grab yourself a
cup of coffee, and welcome to Friday, August. The fifteenth
August is half over. Now does anybody have any idea
(17:42):
how to slow down time? It's scaring me, all right.
Be praying for your president today. He'll be headed to
Alaska to meet with Vladimir Putin for the big summit.
Goal number one and this war and this dying goal
number two. Don't give up anything strategic in the process
called number three. Secure your mineral rights. As you just
(18:05):
heard from our futurist, the fuel of the Future. Washington
DC Police chief is telling her department to offer more
cooperation to federal immigration authorities. Meanwhile, the California Governor, Gavin
Newsom is officially calling for a special election and an
effort to redraw a state congressional district maps. This is
an interesting side note. There was a four hundred percent
(18:27):
increase in paid protesters in DC. When you're seeing these
protesters on the street, they're paid actors. I don't know
why it isn't a commercial. They have to put a
little thing a disclaimer at the bottom that tells you
this guy really doesn't have exema, he's just a paid actor.
(18:47):
Or how about when we do ads, I'm so and so,
and I approve this ad. Or I'm so and so,
and I just got arrested in my underwear and I'm
running for governor. I still can't believe that happened. I
never delight in the misfortune of others, but I just
couldn't believe my eyes. My television's on. I mean, this
(19:08):
is that's straight out of the movie The Campaign with
Will Ferrell. Remember he he steals the cop car that
he's running around in his underworth. But no so and
I'm wondering, at some point do they pay these actors
so much that they really believe the public is on
their side. And that brings me back to Gavin Newsom,
(19:28):
because here's Gavin Newsom saying Oh, we're gonna We're gonna
dress what they're doing in Texas by doing it in California,
which of course is a joke. They have fifty four
House seats, forty three of them belong to the Democrats.
Now only nine belonged to Republicans. You've already jerrymandered. Who
you kidding? But there's a poll out and the people
(19:51):
of California sixty four to thirty six percent want this
to be maintained by an independent redistrict and Commission. I mean,
Gavin news And as Governor of California, is just couldn't
be getting it more wrong. I mean, we talk about
these hills that they choose to die on, as big
(20:15):
as the sum it is, and as much as I
pray it leads to peace and lasting peace. This could
be the top story of the day the New York Post.
Obama's newly revealed call to Zoran Mamdani normalizes socialist New
York City mayor contender for any weary Democrats. Now I
(20:37):
want to pause for a second. I understand he's a socialist,
maybe even more so a communist, but he's ultimately an Islamist,
and you'll find that in his entifata views, and you'll
find that in all of his other views. Remember Islam,
(20:58):
don't confuse that with being a Muslim. Islam is a
form of government. It is a system of life. It
is in essence, a theocracy and a center of control.
Women don't have equal rights in Islam. There is no
freedom of religion in Islam. There's no freedom of speech
(21:22):
in Islam. There's no right of assembly in Islam. Islam,
do you see this gnat flying around me? Where do
they come from? And they're so persistent? I don't know
you well, of course I'm I'm the only charismatic force
in the room. Of course he's gonna want to hang
with me. But do you take out the trash down there?
Do you eat it? We do? I don't know where
he came from, but he won't go away. He's driving
(21:44):
me not that. And you know, I have a partially
detached retina. So as it is, I'm constantly seeing hair
in my eye that's not there. Now, I got a
gnat that's in my face, that is there. Very distracting
this morning on this front is the focus. We got
a lot going on, Yes, we do, all right, So
first of all, Mam Donnie is an Islamist and that
is completely anaesthetical to everything America stands for. That's number one.
(22:11):
The socialist is a compliment. So, Mam Donnie is a
giant leap left of Bernie Sanders and AOC and justice
socialist Democrats. He may even be the birth of an
Islamist sect within the Democrat Party or a or a
(22:35):
birthing of an Islamic party in America and Barack Obama,
it comes out talk to him in June, he did
what let me cut right to the chase. This is lomist, communist,
(23:00):
socialist furthest left version of worldview and politics in America.
Is not an outlier within the Democrat Party. He's not
a problem for the Democrat Party, just the opposite. He
is the direction of the party and not the fringe,
(23:25):
endorsed and approved of by Barack Obama, the last two
term Democrat president. A lot of the insiders saying this
is in essence of presidential seal of approval, a party
approval for President Barack Obama's newly revealed call with Mondani
(23:50):
is a nod that could help make the socialist more
palatable to panicking high level Democrats. An insider told New
York Post. Details about the June call, first reported by
the New York Times staff writer Mar Regay on Wednesday,
then confirmed by the Post. All the reports remain vague,
(24:11):
but the disclosure appears to be part of an effort
to persuade hold out Big Apple voters that Mandanni is
not a French candidate. If Obama's talking to him, you
can trust him. There's no need to panic. In other words,
is this revealing of Mandani or is this revealing of Obama?
(24:35):
It gives the sense that President Obama's world is comfortable
with the Mandanni candidacy. It normalizes him. The Reverend Al
Sharpton said Mamdanni, speaking in the Bronx during his five
borough against Trump tour, only gave broadstroke details about the
(24:57):
call with Obama and sidestepped any question of an endorsement.
We spoke about the importance in a moment such as this,
where politics is often characterized by a language of darkness,
a necessity of hope, and how we speak and how
we orient ourselves in the world. Doubt. The Democrats have
(25:22):
had an eye problem Israel, and now you've got an
ententifada candidate and the largest City twenty five years after
nine to eleven endorsed by a two term Democrat president.
In essence, that's what they're trying to signal, blessed by
(25:42):
Barack Whossein Obama. I mean, that's a huge story. Not
a socialist, an Islamist communist is not an outlier in
this party. It's the future of the party. I always
said the Democrat parties at war with itself and the
(26:04):
socialist Democrat Justice Democrats I've watched videos are the people
who hand picked AOC and they lay out their strategy.
We're targeting Democrats. First, AOC replaced a ten term Democrat.
They want to take over the party. Then they want
to eliminate the electoral college. Then they want to dismantle
(26:27):
the Republic. But first things first, they got to take
over the party. I think they've achieved it. Now. What's
really problematic in the presidential election in twenty twenty eight.
Three times in a row they've rigged the race and
eliminated the voice of their own constituents and voters in
a primary process. First time they got away with they completely.
(26:47):
The second time they got away with it because they won.
Third time they didn't get away with it, and if
they do it again, I think it's going to be
the end of the party. And if it succeeds and
the Justice Democrat wins, which will be a the nomination,
well then the party's over. And now you got Bruin
Zoran Mamdani, who's actually an Islamist, almost a new section
(27:12):
of the Democrat Party. But the Barack Obama call shows
this isn't an outlier, this isn't a problem. This is
the direction. This is the new mainstream Democrat party, seizing property,
(27:35):
removing police. It's a tough call, I'll grant you. I'd
say it's a bigger story, quite frankly than Donald Trump's
talks with today in Alaska. The only thing left shocking
(27:56):
in life is the truth your morning show with Michael
del Chino coming up, visit with Or O'Neil on the
summit preview, and then the story you have paid protesters,
that's what you have on the streets in DC, That's
what we often have with the Democrats, and it's up
(28:17):
four hundred percent. These are paid actors you're going to
be seeing demonstrating. We'll talk more about that, all right.
If you're just waking up fifty one minutes after the
hour of these your top five stories up the day
and overall we're in Uno. Well, the one on one
summit between President Trump and Vladimir Putin is happening in
Alaska today. White House correspondent John Decker is in Alaska
(28:38):
with the President. He says the goals are clear, is.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
That this does pave the way for a second meeting,
a second summit, and then ultimately an end to the
war after three years of fighting.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Decker says that Trump's going to keep all us allies
in the loup.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
President Trump has said that after the meeting concludes, the
first person that he's going to speak to by phone
as President Zelensky, to give him a readout of what
happened at the meeting.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Well, the President said he would know within two minutes.
But the reality is always hard to read Putin's intentions.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
I don't think anybody knows for certain what the mood's
going to be like after this meeting occurs.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Attorney General Pam Bondi is taking another step to exert
federal control over the District of Columbia Police Department. Mark
Mayfield reports.
Speaker 7 (29:20):
Bondy has issued a directive naming deea administrator Terry Cole
as DC's emergency police Commissioner. The order says Coal will
have the powers and duties of the District of Columbia
Chief of Police, and that the police department must have
Coal's approval before taking any action. The directive comes as
federal agents and National Guard troops to patrol the city
as part of a federal takeover ordered by the Trump administration.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
I'm Mark Mayfielder. A physical wall along the southern border
with Mexico has always been a part of the plan
for Donald Trump and a priority for his administration. Brian
Shook as details.
Speaker 8 (29:53):
He announced this week that the administration is clawing back
some of the panels that had been discarded under the
Biden administration, which were being sold as scrap.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
Reached the settlement where we're taking the wall back, but
they stole the wall from us.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
That wall is so expensive.
Speaker 8 (30:09):
The wall panels were sitting at construction staging areas until
Texas stepped in. President Trump said this week that they'll
put it up, but did not give a timeline.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I'm Brian Shuk. Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom is officially
calling for a special election in an effort to redraw
state congressional district maps.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
The action is a counter move to Texas considering redrawing
congressional districts that could add as many as five Republican
seats in Congress. That effort's been on hold since Texas
state Democrats left the state, blocking the legislature's ability to
achieve a quorum and vote on the issue. Newsom's goal
is to hold a November fourth special election to put
new maps before voters to increase Democratic representation in Congress,
(30:50):
therefore offsetting the actions of Texas.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
I'm Jim Rooper in California. Just fyi, there are fifty
four House seats. Forty three of them belong to the Democrats,
only nine to Republicans. Jerry Mandering exists, yes, and nobody
does it better than the Democrats. See California, See Illinois,
(31:14):
see New York, see the entire Eastern Seaboard. At the
end of the day, these people elected by the will
of the people are to do the work of the people,
not their party, not their power. Why would I bring
that up, because we've got to poll out today. When
(31:35):
it comes to the people waking up this morning in California,
sixty four to thirty six percent. They would like independent
redistrict and commissions to continue to handle the drawing of districts,
not rogue governors. How long will career self interest politicians?
(32:03):
I mean, we've gone, as we mentioned, from sure a
two party stranglehold that never should have been the founding
fathers would have advised against. But it was functional. They
could work together. The differences between the Republicans and Democrats
weren't that great. Now they're oil and water. If nothing
(32:24):
in common in one of those parties, I'm sorry to admit,
doesn't have much in common with the Decoration of Independence,
let alone the Constitution, and isn't really interested in America's
intent past, only taking over its future. But we've gone
(32:44):
from not so different and functional to completely partisan and
gridlock to disfunctional obstruction, divided cannot stand together. And here's
a governor oring the will of his own people in
a blue state. For what partisan gain power power over people?
(33:09):
John Lennon, Hi, this is John Lennon, and this.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
Is the outca and yells the one benefit of Tom
setting for the killing of Willowbrook.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
It is so loud. A John Lennon box set containing
more than one hundred tracks, is due out this fall,
one day after the late former Beatles' birthday. Power to
the People features his one on one concerts at Madison
Square Garden, which were Lennon's final and only live concerts
after the Beatles broke up. The box set mostly features
material from nineteen sixty nine to nineteen seventy two that'll
(33:43):
give you a clue what's on there, and it might.
It's considered by many to be his most political period.
Power to the People is scheduled to be released on
October tenth. Pre Orders are available now. Today is a
day for a sweet tart treat. Who better to explain
than pre Tennis on what you need to stick a
(34:05):
fork in?
Speaker 9 (34:05):
Today we're celebrating a classic dessert that has a buttery crust,
a lot of lemon curd, and gobs a fluffy and
lightly toasted whipped egg whites. It's lemon Meringue pie Day,
based on a French dessert. But what we eat today
is all American, developed in Philadelphia at about eighteen sixty.
It's sweet and tart, also full of fat, sugar and calories,
but better homes and gardens, says the average American eats
(34:28):
about a pie a year, so spaced out, the calories
really don't count.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
I'm pre tennis. Two NFL preseason games, the Titans at
Atlanta to take on the Falcons, and the Chiefs and
the Seahawks is the late game at nine. Baseball Tigers
won four to three over the Twins. Guardians beat the
Marlins nine to four, Dpex eight to two over the Rockies.
The Reds were off, so leave me alone. I'm not
leaving them out. Birthdays today. Actress Jennifer Lawrence is thirty four,
(34:52):
Ben Affleck is fifty two, and from Will and Grace,
Deborah Messing is fifty seven. It's your birthday. Happy birthday,
So glad you born, and thanks for making your morning
show a part of your big day. We're all in
this together. This is your Morning Show with Michael Mintel
Joano
Hi, I'm Michael del Johno, and your morning show can
be heard live as it's happening five to eight am
Central and six to nine Eastern on great stations like
six point twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or AKRONS, News
Talk six forty w HLO and AKRON, Ohio and News
Radio five seventy WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine, but we're glad
(00:20):
you're here now enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Good Morning American, It's Friday, well two three.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
This is your Morning Show with Michael O'Dell john. President
Trump's staying tight lipped about any potential agreement he may
propose during the big summit with Gladimir Putin in Alaska. Today,
(00:50):
California Governor Gavin Newsom's gone rogue, officially calling for a
special election effort to redraw the state congressional District's new
polling suggests that's two to one against the will of
the people. In Tropical Storm Aaron is closing in on
becoming a hurricane, but not heading anywhere at this point
to be a threat in the United States. Good morning,
(01:11):
Welcome to Friday, August fifteenth, twenty twenty five. This is
your Morning Show. I'm Michael del Journal eight minutes after
the hour. What a busy show. The President leaving for Alaskas,
so we got to do we got to do the
Friday with forty seven a little early today, so expected
about six forty eight Central time, seven forty eight Eastern
(01:31):
to be exact. We'll have to catch him before Marine
one swoops him off. And then our two part interview
with Roseanne Barr. The documentary is Roseanne is America and
she's even got a hot scoop for our Your Morning
Show audience. And coming up in mere minutes, Kevin, Sir,
really our futurist will talk about the meeting between Trump
and Putin and what it means really right on through
(01:54):
the twenty thirties, Roy O'Neil is here at a time
when markets are preparing for interest rate cuts, for bankruptcies
are surging, gas prices are dropping. Oh my gosh, the
scoreboard when it comes to the economy, Rory, how do
we read it well?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Right, especially with the PPI numbers yesterday that showed the
cost of making goods had surged much more than expected
the previous month, but the consumer prices.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
We saw it didn't go up as much as we expected.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
So it is just a pile of controversial or contractory data.
That's a controversial data that's coming out from these marketplaces,
and it's giving anxiety to a lot of investors right now.
You know, when we did get that PPI number yesterday,
I was expecting a bigger sell off on the dial
and the other markets didn't really see it down slightly
(02:43):
but really yeah, just essentially flat. So that was a
bit encouraging. There's still a lot of consensus that were
in for a rate cut starting next month.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah, you bring up the PPI numbers, that's a story
I broke, as you know, because you were on hold.
I like to bring that up. In fact, I think
I'm going to bring that up every day for at
least a month or that story. Well, you were locked
down hold, No, but I mean broke it. I fixed
it because no, but we were talking about it. You know,
obviously it would show up on the you know, the
(03:15):
business side before it reached the people. So you know,
in the long run, we still don't know how this
is going to play out. We got a couple of
anecdotal answers, but specifically with aluminum and Arizona tee. But
it could be copper, it could be you know, certain
individual things. So looking forward, we really don't know how
much this is going to impact what, but inevitably it
(03:37):
will and it'll affect companies and then get to the people.
So that kind of played out pretty much the way
we kind of anticipated, unless it just hadn't gotten to
the businesses yet because the deals were so fresh, no
real surprise, or maybe I don't know, I'm reaching. Maybe
that explains why the market didn't react much. Maybe they
were expecting it.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
And Michael I would also say the same thing we
say about polls, look for the trend and you know,
this is one data point.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
You know, let's see what we can get for a
trend in the next few months. Yeah, and we were
talking to our money whiz. You would have appreciated that
conversation a little bit about Okay, in the long run,
some of this is coming on the people, so it's
going to get passed along if it costs more for
them to do their goods and services they're going to
pass that on to you, so the consumer is going
(04:24):
to be gradually paying for it. But even if they don't,
and even even if the companies eat it and absorb it, well,
that's just less profit and that's not good because that's
less expansion or less hiring or less salary increases. So
you know, careful where you go with this tariff thing.
H Yeah, it can produce a lot of income that
a Congress down the road may spend very differently than
(04:45):
the expectation today. But the early results are early and mixed.
That's the bottom line, right, Yeah, pretty much. And you
did mention the surge and bankruptcies.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
That is something that we're also following, but they're not
necessarily related to the economy. I mean, for for twenty
one in Kodak or declaring bankruptcy, that's not really about
the economy. That's you know, we're not going to the
mall and we're not buying film. That's that's not really
over an economic message.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Bad news for our friends in Rochester, New York. But
I'm a code I just want to and they aren't
dealing with it. Well, but yeah, that's another that's no,
it's huge all right, Rory's gonna be back next How
we're gonna talk a little bit about this meeting between
Trump and Putin. The president is lips are sealed. This
basically boils down to one Putin that nobody trusts. As
(05:33):
my brother often says, if his lips are moving, he's lying.
So it's really hard in the art of diplomacy. Even
if you feel like you got far, trust you got far,
let alone get far. There are all these other factors.
Putin ultimately would like to reassemble the Russian Empire map.
(05:54):
It's not going well, and his first stop didn't go well.
Now he could play the game, and this is my guess,
this is where I'm leading. And when he had the
call with Kim Jung un, I thought that was the giveaway.
How can I handle Trump in a way that he
feels is positive, It moves things forward, and I continue
to fight because that's kind of what Kim Jong un did. Now,
(06:20):
in the case of North Korea, they did stop all
of the constant provocative nuclear testing. It slowed down, his
rhetoric slowed down. But at the end of the day,
North Korea is still an alliance with Iran, with China
(06:42):
and with Russia, and there are North Korean troops on
the ground fighting for Vladimir Putin. So I suspect Putin's
game is going to be to try to make the
president feel like it's a good talk. Maybe hold off
some of these are stalled, to hold off some of
the sanctions, and or you know, pressure on anybody that
(07:08):
buys their oil, if he can kick the can and
buy some time. And then you have Donald Trump, the
Art of the Deal, who has made it crystal clear.
He sees through all of these tactics, and the President
is communicating clearly. He's going to give it his best shot.
He's going to communicate with everyone the minute he gets
(07:28):
out of the meeting. When I say everyone, I mean
European natal leaders as well as Zelensky. So here comes
the Art of the deal meeting the untrustworthy Putin. Would
ye make of that right? Kevin Sirelli is a futurist
and has what we can expect not only from this meeting,
but it's impact on Russian US relations all the way
(07:50):
through the twenty thirties. He's a historian and a futurist.
That makes great sense. You got to understand the past.
If you're going to have any idea of how the
future plays out. We'll get his unique take when your
morning show continues next, This is your Morning Show with
(08:10):
Michael del Trono. Good morning, This is your morning show.
I'm Michael del Jorna. Well, you may think the big
story is this summit in Alaska. There's a Barack Obama
story that's actually even bigger. I had details of that
coming up in minutes. The one on one summit between
Trump and Putins upon us. It's happening in Alaska. The
White House correspondent to who will be there covering it
is your White House correspondent John Decker. He's an anchorage
(08:34):
and says the President's goals are clear.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Is that this does pave the way for a second meeting,
a second summit, and then ultimately an end to the
war after three years of fighting.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Now. Decker says that Trump is going to try to
keep US allies in the loop as best he can.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
President Trump has said that after the meeting concludes, the
first person that he's going to speak to by phone
as President Zelensky, to give him a readout of what
happened at the meeting.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Decker also says It's hard to get a read on
Putin's intentions. We all know not very trustworthy, doesn't often
tell the truth.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
And I don't think anybody knows for certain what the
mood's going to be like after this meeting occurs.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
So the only way to know is to talk to
a futurist, right, Oh, my Pithon Kevin Sirelli is here.
You know I spare nothing in transition for you. I no,
but we like to take credit for finding you and
then never letting go. How do you look at this,
because the futurist in you sees how this could impact
(09:35):
our Russian US relations through the twenty thirties, and then,
of course there's a war we're trying to stop at
the same time.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
How do you combine these two things precisely?
Speaker 6 (09:44):
I remember when I was in Helsinki covering the first
Trump and Putin meeting and just how different it was
from twenty eighteen versus in twenty twenty five. And the
biggest difference is that Russia has lost more than a
million lives in Russia's war against Ukraine, and so Ukraine
meanwhile has lost more than one hundred thousand lives.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
So to put that into context. That's more for Russia.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
The loss of life more than five times of the
total Soviet Russians loss of life from every conflict since
World War Two. So when President Trump is meeting with
Putin today, remember that when you're watching Putin that he's
lost more than one million lives since he started this war.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Well, the Soviet the Soviet Afghan War considered one of
the great greatest defeats and disasters. This multiple times worse.
So I mean, any ambitions of putting back the Russian
Empire map, I mean that's out the window. The thought
of winning NATO more united than ever and ponying up
(10:49):
money along the way. So Trump's really biggest victory has
already happened as he sits down to talk. All right,
So why doesn't he take the off ramp like they
did in Afghanistan when clearly they.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Couldn't win, Because it all comes down to rare earth minerals.
President Trump, when you mentioned the meeting with President Zelensky,
which by all accounts was a disaster for President Zelensky
had really caused significant significant political damage but also geopolitical
damage as well. But since that the United States and
(11:22):
President Trump, what they did is they announced a reconstruction
fund that intertwined the United States economic relationship with Ukraine,
particularly in rare earth minerals. Now, why should people care
about that? Because Ukraine's rare earth minerals market it's the
building block and the DNA for everything from semiconductor chips
to satellite parts to the economy of the future. And
(11:45):
so if Russia has any sense of control over that
market or over those supply chains, it's a negative risk,
not just for Europe, but also for the United States.
So President Trump and trying to intertwine the ukraign reconstruction
Fund with the United States, it seemingly is a check
in a balance to Russia for inevitably when hopefully this
(12:08):
war comes to an end.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
If this was the turn of the previous century, this
would be like somebody sitting on oil and we know
automobiles and airplanes and everything else is coming. Which, by
the way, was the brilliant move of Donald Trump. Not
only I mean think all of the above. I mean
you talk about art of the deal. So he does
the mineral deal with Ukraine. That puts our presence there. Now,
(12:32):
if Russia continues to try to fight, we've got a
presence there. Now you're attacking us and our interests. I mean,
the whacks are just circled. I get a sense that Putin,
you know, one of the things that tipped me off,
and I wonder if it tipped you off when he
met with Kim Jong un, who maybe in Trump's first
term a lot of the provocative missile testing stopped, but
(12:55):
he kind of kicked the can. And it looks like
maybe Putin's looking for a way. How can I work Trump.
He'll leave feeling good and I can keep fighting a
little while longer and get away with it before the
sanctions and and harassment of those who buy our royal
kicks in you sense that's kind of where he's coming from.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Well, if you're if you're President Putin, this from the
from the Russian perspective.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
And the chatter from Moscow ahead of the meeting has
been somewhat more optimistic.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
But if you're if you're President Putin.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
This could be the time frame to make a.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
Deal, because President Trumps has.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Seemingly been more willing than other even Republicans, to make
a deal with Russia.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
And so if you look at the time in.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
President Trump's second term and where we are, you know,
a year before a midterm election, a little more than
a year before a midterm election, you know, the dynamics
could could change for Russia domestically in a way where
the government in America could become way less willing.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
To make a deal. And so from a from a
strategic standpoint.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
From Russia, really this could be the moment for them
to make a deal. A lot of folks are talking,
and John Decker is a brilliant reporter. A lot of
folks are talking about how President Trump plans to call
Zelensky right after this meeting, and noting Ukraine's absence. But
there's another third party that isn't here that I'm very
very much paying.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Attention to, and that's a Shijing Ping of the Communist.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Party of China.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
The reason being that remember when them being in Alaska.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Today the Russians and the Chinese.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Are running military drills in Alaska's backyard.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
And so for Trump to be meeting with Putin.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
If you're shijing Ping, you're wondering, you know what exactly
this means. I like to call them this sotalitarian twins
Putin and she, But what does that mean for that romance?
That has really emerged over the last few years, and
Trump is shaking that up in that dynamic up, especially
if he's willing to get out of this meeting in
a step in the direction of.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Edge Vin twins and they have two brothers, both named
Fredo Aaran and North Korea. You could have that tear Yeah,
good moments with our future is Kevin Sirelli, who's one
of my favorites. All right, so this could be the
off ramp. Uh, You're gonna have to give him something.
Is it reasonable? Uh to give Russia what they had
(15:23):
before they invaded. I mean, you're gonna have to give
him something to save face with what would be recent.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
On the table. The landslops are on the table.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
But really, more than anything, if your putin and your
economy is cratered because of these sanctions and the and
the and the restrictions from Treasury and whatnot, that's really
what you're trying to do, is you're trying to get
the United States to loosen its grip around their horrible,
pathetic economy.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
With one minute to goo, what does this summit mean
for relations? And how are the conversations going to echo
into the thirties as you mentioned.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
It's the rarer as minerals and the United States having
playing a force in Europe also being able to keep
putin further back and keep them, you know, keep the
Russians not from going further into Europe. But this is
all about the economy of the future, the economy of
the future. And I know we talk a lot about
oil and energy, and rightfully so, but it's outer space.
(16:22):
It's outer space because in order to build these satellites
and what I believe is the final frontier, which is
outer space and the space domain, you have to have
these minerals to build these satellites and space parts, and
a lot of it comes to Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
He gets the past that allows him to understand reality.
Boy does he see the future. Kevin Surly, thank you
so much for your time. This is Paul David Patterson
down in Toledo District, Belize, and my morning show is
your Morning show with Michael del Jornan. Hey, gang, it's
(16:56):
me Michael. You can listen to your morning show live.
Make us a part of your morning routine or your
drive to work companion on great stations like Talk Radio
ninety eight point three and fifteen ten WLAC, in Nashville,
Tupelos News and Talk one oh one point one and
ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk six to fifty
kste in Sacramento, California. Love to have you listen live,
(17:17):
but are grateful you're here now for the podcast. Enjoy
good morning, early bird gets the worm, sleepy squirrel, missus
the nut. Don't be the squirrel, be the bird, fly
my children, Fly to the kitchen and grab yourself a
cup of coffee, and welcome to Friday, August. The fifteenth
August is half over. Now does anybody have any idea
(17:42):
how to slow down time? It's scaring me, all right.
Be praying for your president today. He'll be headed to
Alaska to meet with Vladimir Putin for the big summit.
Goal number one and this war and this dying goal
number two. Don't give up anything strategic in the process
called number three. Secure your mineral rights. As you just
(18:05):
heard from our futurist, the fuel of the Future. Washington
DC Police chief is telling her department to offer more
cooperation to federal immigration authorities. Meanwhile, the California Governor, Gavin
Newsom is officially calling for a special election and an
effort to redraw a state congressional district maps. This is
an interesting side note. There was a four hundred percent
(18:27):
increase in paid protesters in DC. When you're seeing these
protesters on the street, they're paid actors. I don't know
why it isn't a commercial. They have to put a
little thing a disclaimer at the bottom that tells you
this guy really doesn't have exema, he's just a paid actor.
(18:47):
Or how about when we do ads, I'm so and so,
and I approve this ad. Or I'm so and so,
and I just got arrested in my underwear and I'm
running for governor. I still can't believe that happened. I
never delight in the misfortune of others, but I just
couldn't believe my eyes. My television's on. I mean, this
(19:08):
is that's straight out of the movie The Campaign with
Will Ferrell. Remember he he steals the cop car that
he's running around in his underworth. But no so and
I'm wondering, at some point do they pay these actors
so much that they really believe the public is on
their side. And that brings me back to Gavin Newsom,
(19:28):
because here's Gavin Newsom saying Oh, we're gonna We're gonna
dress what they're doing in Texas by doing it in California,
which of course is a joke. They have fifty four
House seats, forty three of them belong to the Democrats.
Now only nine belonged to Republicans. You've already jerrymandered. Who
you kidding? But there's a poll out and the people
(19:51):
of California sixty four to thirty six percent want this
to be maintained by an independent redistrict and Commission. I mean,
Gavin news And as Governor of California, is just couldn't
be getting it more wrong. I mean, we talk about
these hills that they choose to die on, as big
(20:15):
as the sum it is, and as much as I
pray it leads to peace and lasting peace. This could
be the top story of the day the New York Post.
Obama's newly revealed call to Zoran Mamdani normalizes socialist New
York City mayor contender for any weary Democrats. Now I
(20:37):
want to pause for a second. I understand he's a socialist,
maybe even more so a communist, but he's ultimately an Islamist,
and you'll find that in his entifata views, and you'll
find that in all of his other views. Remember Islam,
(20:58):
don't confuse that with being a Muslim. Islam is a
form of government. It is a system of life. It
is in essence, a theocracy and a center of control.
Women don't have equal rights in Islam. There is no
freedom of religion in Islam. There's no freedom of speech
(21:22):
in Islam. There's no right of assembly in Islam. Islam,
do you see this gnat flying around me? Where do
they come from? And they're so persistent? I don't know
you well, of course I'm I'm the only charismatic force
in the room. Of course he's gonna want to hang
with me. But do you take out the trash down there?
Do you eat it? We do? I don't know where
he came from, but he won't go away. He's driving
(21:44):
me not that. And you know, I have a partially
detached retina. So as it is, I'm constantly seeing hair
in my eye that's not there. Now, I got a
gnat that's in my face, that is there. Very distracting
this morning on this front is the focus. We got
a lot going on, Yes, we do, all right, So
first of all, Mam Donnie is an Islamist and that
is completely anaesthetical to everything America stands for. That's number one.
(22:11):
The socialist is a compliment. So, Mam Donnie is a
giant leap left of Bernie Sanders and AOC and justice
socialist Democrats. He may even be the birth of an
Islamist sect within the Democrat Party or a or a
(22:35):
birthing of an Islamic party in America and Barack Obama,
it comes out talk to him in June, he did
what let me cut right to the chase. This is lomist, communist,
(23:00):
socialist furthest left version of worldview and politics in America.
Is not an outlier within the Democrat Party. He's not
a problem for the Democrat Party, just the opposite. He
is the direction of the party and not the fringe,
(23:25):
endorsed and approved of by Barack Obama, the last two
term Democrat president. A lot of the insiders saying this
is in essence of presidential seal of approval, a party
approval for President Barack Obama's newly revealed call with Mondani
(23:50):
is a nod that could help make the socialist more
palatable to panicking high level Democrats. An insider told New
York Post. Details about the June call, first reported by
the New York Times staff writer Mar Regay on Wednesday,
then confirmed by the Post. All the reports remain vague,
(24:11):
but the disclosure appears to be part of an effort
to persuade hold out Big Apple voters that Mandanni is
not a French candidate. If Obama's talking to him, you
can trust him. There's no need to panic. In other words,
is this revealing of Mandani or is this revealing of Obama?
(24:35):
It gives the sense that President Obama's world is comfortable
with the Mandanni candidacy. It normalizes him. The Reverend Al
Sharpton said Mamdanni, speaking in the Bronx during his five
borough against Trump tour, only gave broadstroke details about the
(24:57):
call with Obama and sidestepped any question of an endorsement.
We spoke about the importance in a moment such as this,
where politics is often characterized by a language of darkness,
a necessity of hope, and how we speak and how
we orient ourselves in the world. Doubt. The Democrats have
(25:22):
had an eye problem Israel, and now you've got an
ententifada candidate and the largest City twenty five years after
nine to eleven endorsed by a two term Democrat president.
In essence, that's what they're trying to signal, blessed by
(25:42):
Barack Whossein Obama. I mean, that's a huge story. Not
a socialist, an Islamist communist is not an outlier in
this party. It's the future of the party. I always
said the Democrat parties at war with itself and the
(26:04):
socialist Democrat Justice Democrats I've watched videos are the people
who hand picked AOC and they lay out their strategy.
We're targeting Democrats. First, AOC replaced a ten term Democrat.
They want to take over the party. Then they want
to eliminate the electoral college. Then they want to dismantle
(26:27):
the Republic. But first things first, they got to take
over the party. I think they've achieved it. Now. What's
really problematic in the presidential election in twenty twenty eight.
Three times in a row they've rigged the race and
eliminated the voice of their own constituents and voters in
a primary process. First time they got away with they completely.
(26:47):
The second time they got away with it because they won.
Third time they didn't get away with it, and if
they do it again, I think it's going to be
the end of the party. And if it succeeds and
the Justice Democrat wins, which will be a the nomination,
well then the party's over. And now you got Bruin
Zoran Mamdani, who's actually an Islamist, almost a new section
(27:12):
of the Democrat Party. But the Barack Obama call shows
this isn't an outlier, this isn't a problem. This is
the direction. This is the new mainstream Democrat party, seizing property,
(27:35):
removing police. It's a tough call, I'll grant you. I'd
say it's a bigger story, quite frankly than Donald Trump's
talks with today in Alaska. The only thing left shocking
(27:56):
in life is the truth your morning show with Michael
del Chino coming up, visit with Or O'Neil on the
summit preview, and then the story you have paid protesters,
that's what you have on the streets in DC, That's
what we often have with the Democrats, and it's up
(28:17):
four hundred percent. These are paid actors you're going to
be seeing demonstrating. We'll talk more about that, all right.
If you're just waking up fifty one minutes after the
hour of these your top five stories up the day
and overall we're in Uno. Well, the one on one
summit between President Trump and Vladimir Putin is happening in
Alaska today. White House correspondent John Decker is in Alaska
(28:38):
with the President. He says the goals are clear, is.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
That this does pave the way for a second meeting,
a second summit, and then ultimately an end to the
war after three years of fighting.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Decker says that Trump's going to keep all us allies
in the loup.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
President Trump has said that after the meeting concludes, the
first person that he's going to speak to by phone
as President Zelensky, to give him a readout of what
happened at the meeting.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Well, the President said he would know within two minutes.
But the reality is always hard to read Putin's intentions.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
I don't think anybody knows for certain what the mood's
going to be like after this meeting occurs.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Attorney General Pam Bondi is taking another step to exert
federal control over the District of Columbia Police Department. Mark
Mayfield reports.
Speaker 7 (29:20):
Bondy has issued a directive naming deea administrator Terry Cole
as DC's emergency police Commissioner. The order says Coal will
have the powers and duties of the District of Columbia
Chief of Police, and that the police department must have
Coal's approval before taking any action. The directive comes as
federal agents and National Guard troops to patrol the city
as part of a federal takeover ordered by the Trump administration.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
I'm Mark Mayfielder. A physical wall along the southern border
with Mexico has always been a part of the plan
for Donald Trump and a priority for his administration. Brian
Shook as details.
Speaker 8 (29:53):
He announced this week that the administration is clawing back
some of the panels that had been discarded under the
Biden administration, which were being sold as scrap.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
Reached the settlement where we're taking the wall back, but
they stole the wall from us.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
That wall is so expensive.
Speaker 8 (30:09):
The wall panels were sitting at construction staging areas until
Texas stepped in. President Trump said this week that they'll
put it up, but did not give a timeline.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I'm Brian Shuk. Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom is officially
calling for a special election in an effort to redraw
state congressional district maps.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
The action is a counter move to Texas considering redrawing
congressional districts that could add as many as five Republican
seats in Congress. That effort's been on hold since Texas
state Democrats left the state, blocking the legislature's ability to
achieve a quorum and vote on the issue. Newsom's goal
is to hold a November fourth special election to put
new maps before voters to increase Democratic representation in Congress,
(30:50):
therefore offsetting the actions of Texas.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
I'm Jim Rooper in California. Just fyi, there are fifty
four House seats. Forty three of them belong to the Democrats,
only nine to Republicans. Jerry Mandering exists, yes, and nobody
does it better than the Democrats. See California, See Illinois,
(31:14):
see New York, see the entire Eastern Seaboard. At the
end of the day, these people elected by the will
of the people are to do the work of the people,
not their party, not their power. Why would I bring
that up, because we've got to poll out today. When
(31:35):
it comes to the people waking up this morning in California,
sixty four to thirty six percent. They would like independent
redistrict and commissions to continue to handle the drawing of districts,
not rogue governors. How long will career self interest politicians?
(32:03):
I mean, we've gone, as we mentioned, from sure a
two party stranglehold that never should have been the founding
fathers would have advised against. But it was functional. They
could work together. The differences between the Republicans and Democrats
weren't that great. Now they're oil and water. If nothing
(32:24):
in common in one of those parties, I'm sorry to admit,
doesn't have much in common with the Decoration of Independence,
let alone the Constitution, and isn't really interested in America's
intent past, only taking over its future. But we've gone
(32:44):
from not so different and functional to completely partisan and
gridlock to disfunctional obstruction, divided cannot stand together. And here's
a governor oring the will of his own people in
a blue state. For what partisan gain power power over people?
(33:09):
John Lennon, Hi, this is John Lennon, and this.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
Is the outca and yells the one benefit of Tom
setting for the killing of Willowbrook.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
It is so loud. A John Lennon box set containing
more than one hundred tracks, is due out this fall,
one day after the late former Beatles' birthday. Power to
the People features his one on one concerts at Madison
Square Garden, which were Lennon's final and only live concerts
after the Beatles broke up. The box set mostly features
material from nineteen sixty nine to nineteen seventy two that'll
(33:43):
give you a clue what's on there, and it might.
It's considered by many to be his most political period.
Power to the People is scheduled to be released on
October tenth. Pre Orders are available now. Today is a
day for a sweet tart treat. Who better to explain
than pre Tennis on what you need to stick a
(34:05):
fork in?
Speaker 9 (34:05):
Today we're celebrating a classic dessert that has a buttery crust,
a lot of lemon curd, and gobs a fluffy and
lightly toasted whipped egg whites. It's lemon Meringue pie Day,
based on a French dessert. But what we eat today
is all American, developed in Philadelphia at about eighteen sixty.
It's sweet and tart, also full of fat, sugar and calories,
but better homes and gardens, says the average American eats
(34:28):
about a pie a year, so spaced out, the calories
really don't count.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
I'm pre tennis. Two NFL preseason games, the Titans at
Atlanta to take on the Falcons, and the Chiefs and
the Seahawks is the late game at nine. Baseball Tigers
won four to three over the Twins. Guardians beat the
Marlins nine to four, Dpex eight to two over the Rockies.
The Reds were off, so leave me alone. I'm not
leaving them out. Birthdays today. Actress Jennifer Lawrence is thirty four,
(34:52):
Ben Affleck is fifty two, and from Will and Grace,
Deborah Messing is fifty seven. It's your birthday. Happy birthday,
So glad you born, and thanks for making your morning
show a part of your big day. We're all in
this together. This is your Morning Show with Michael Mintel
