Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael. We'd love to have you listen every
weekday morning to your morning show live, even take us
along with you on the drive to work. We can
be heard on great radio stations like one oh four
nine The Patriot in Saint Louis, Our Talk Radio ninety
eight point three and fifteen ten WLAC and Nashville, and
News Talk five fifty k f YI in Phoenix, Arizona.
Love to be a part of your morning routine, but
we're always grateful you're here. Now. Enjoy the podcast well
(00:23):
two three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
This is your morning show with Michael del Joan. Thank you,
Mike McCann. I am. I am on the air with
my headphones on, prepared to broadcast in the most serious
of manners. Welcome to Monday, the nineteenth of August. Hear
of Our Lord twenty twenty four and six minutes after
(00:56):
the hour on the air and streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app. I am Michael Delta, or you can always
email me Michael did at iHeartMedia dot com. Rachel writes,
one of the things I appreciate about the show is
how there's pretty much no aggression. You're actually approaching things
in a conversational tone, which, after several years of pridefulness
I found is the only way to begin to change
(01:17):
someone's mind on any topic. It was a sweet way
to start the day. This one comes from Ron in Columbus, Georgia,
testing test email. I guess this guy wasn't before you.
I guess it worked testing one, two, three, Yes, I
hear you. Ron. You can now send your regular email. Meanwhile,
(01:39):
on the talkback button, Hello, anybody there?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
That's the Yeah, anybody there?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, we had that on there the talk one day
he was testing, and now we have one doing it
on email. Catherine writes, Michael, just curious, are you able
to hear the ads that run during your show? Because
they just played an ad for Kamala Harris. Well, thank god, no. Actually,
to be honest, just so I'm not sitting here with
(02:07):
just dead air during the breaks, Jeffreel put up WLAC
in Nashville. I can hear their ads. So, but again,
we're on in many many, many, many many cities, so
it depends where you're living what ads you're hearing. So
you're all not hearing the same ads, and I can't
control what ads you're hearing. And she's got three hundred
(02:28):
and seventy million dollars, you're going to hear some come
our way. But obviously no, I can't hear all the
ads that are airing in all cities as they're purchase.
Keep the emails coming, Michael de atiheartmedia dot com. We
always appreciate communicating with you. After all, can't have your
morning show without your voice. If you're just waking up.
The curtains about to arise on the Democratic National Convention
in Chicago today, preparations for protesters outside. Isn't that a
(02:52):
great irony? Walls going up, buffers, troops, police all to
protect the DNC convention in a way they won't protect
their border, but they don't want any drunk and riots
in their study spilling into their convention hall as they're
doing a great grand illusion on television. So that's some
(03:13):
of the drama that's playing out as we wake up
this morning. Chris Walker is a Republican Party consultant and analyst,
and now it's time for the Democrats to sell the
drop and replace that they pulled off and create Kumbai
Yah for the next four days. It's their turn. What
do you think the keys are to their convention, Chris.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Good morning, Michael. I think they're the keys. Are them
to not be themselves? Yeah? Will like get away. They're
going to have to sell the American people of not
these radical left extremists that they are. I mean, they're
having to bring these police, you know, this police force
into the city and I mean they did that for
(03:53):
Republicans too, honestly, but again it's because of radical left
wing protesters, who are you know, their core audience that
they're catering to. These two folks are still wearing masks
and you know, continuing to pretend, you know that they
are there are the mainstream of America when they are nothing.
But you know, it would be interesting. We've see the lineup.
(04:13):
I mean, tonight's going to be about Biden, the Bidens,
and the Biden legacy, that that is what it is.
They're going to have to run from that, you know.
Kamala Harris puts out her economic plan, pretending that she
hasn't been in office for the last three and a
half years. So it's going to be a little kabooky
theater like we've seen for the last month in terms
of their own candidate, you know, pretending to be things
that they are not, in an effort to kind of
(04:35):
pull the wall over the eyes of the American people
and and tell them that their failures are not their own.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Any convention, any year doesn't matter, the party, doesn't matter
the election cycle. The convention is about solidifying the ticket,
formalizing the nomination of president and vice president, creating party unity,
and then momentum going out. Wow, think about this one.
You had Joe Biden who was president, wanted to be president.
(05:06):
His party turned on him, his Congress turned on him,
the media turned on him, and they literally ousted him.
They put in place her disregarded all of their party
people's votes to do so. They go into the convention
like the Republicans, with unity already. The Republicans didn't get
(05:27):
much momentum. It was either blocked by this coup to
remove Biden and put Harris in place, or because you
got unity going in, there's really no momentum to leave with,
don't they. In other words, I'm looking at these polls
and they have certainly tightened up even in the swing states,
dead even but I think this is as good as
it gets. And I don't think there's a bump coming
(05:47):
because it's kind of baked into the cake. What say you?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
My sense is there's going to be a bump coming
out of this, just in the pure fact that you
have the entire Hollywood apparatus. Evan said it really well.
I mean, she's not running for president, she's running as
an it's not running a campaign. He's running a movie.
And there's the entire culture apparatus behind her right now.
And so while the extremely plugged in see through it
(06:15):
and understand when she talks about price controls that it's
you know, it leads to two food lines and and
and you know communism. Most people are going to see
the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and you know, the
feel good attitude and the joy and all of the
things that they say there about and and ingest it.
So I would inticipate them getting a bounce out of this.
(06:37):
And again I just reiterate again from a standpoint of
just human nature. You know, new, Trump's old more often
than not, and in our case, Kamala is new, and
she's introducing herself to the American public, and there's there
will be a fascination there. It will be an interesting
thing to see how many people watch her speech on
Thursday night, because this is her introduction to the country
(06:58):
for for the first time, really and what's she about,
what's her background, what, what what drives her? I mean,
I'll be tuning in to hear that. I'm not going
to believe anything she says, but I think there's a
he has a chance for reset here or let me
let me stay more of a set, and you know,
I think it's going to be important for her to
(07:19):
really push out there. Well, we'll see what she says.
But ultimately, again Democrats will win when they sound like
Republicans are going to have to, you know, tone down,
tamp down the crazy that they've been for the last
twenty years. And I just I'm not sure that they
have in their DNA to do that.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Well, the problem is sixty four percent of America still
thinks we're heading in the wrong direction, and they've got
to somehow convinced that they're not. They don't have any
role in that direction. That's a pretty big abercadabra I
would suspect in this Hollywood movie versus an actual campaign,
(07:54):
the theme of joy and laughter. Do you suspect that
will play out.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Well, it's what they're going to try to say, but
the news that they're being honest and they're going to
you know, you and I kind of firmly believe that
this is a nineteen sixty eight repeat in a lot
of ways in terms of what we're seeing seeing in
Chicago right down to the same city of the convention.
There's going to be there's gonna be riot, there's gonna
be turmoil. There's going to be activists out there trying
to do their best to disrupt because it's what that's
(08:22):
only what they know how to do, and so they
can preach joy on the inside, but what you're going
to see really is what's happening on the outside. I
think that's going to be the real driver of this
news cycle of the next week. And that's going to
be I mean, it's our started yesterday. I mean, you
see protesters taking over the stage at the welcome party
for the convention, and that was just one example. They're
really going to be focused on the floor where all
(08:43):
the actual cameras are.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Over the next four days, NBC did a story Top
five things to look for at the convention, and one
of them was vibes or policy. I think this really
is the key. Well, they continue to play the movie game,
the vibe game. She's stuck mainly to the teleprompter. She's
avoided all media interviews, she hasn't had a debate yet.
(09:06):
Everything is just feel good, vibe, momentum, joy, laughter. But
when you get into actual policies, policies that have created
the inflation, that created the high interest rates, that created
the stagnant wages and the poor economy, let alone the
border policies that she was put in charge of that
(09:29):
America stands so against, that becomes problematic. I think if
I'm noticing the style and tactic of the teleprompter on
the campaign trail, the very things, which is government solutions
to everything, freebies. Maybe we're not paying off your student
loan this time, maybe we're paying off your hospital bills.
But it's this kind of spending of money in an
(09:51):
economy that's not associated with goods and services that creates
inflation with different titles. So now we'll do it for childcare.
Now we'll do it for prescription drugs. Now we'll do
it for rent. Now we'll do it for you know,
paying off emergency room and hospital bills. But it's the
(10:13):
same thing that got us into inflation in the first place,
just done with different titles. So I suspect they will
major in good vibes and minor in this policy tactic.
And if America doesn't see through, I see a lot
more debt and a lot more inflation, and I might
even see a recession in your future if you don't
wake up.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Well, I mean, let's you know, honestly, let's look at
the jobs reports. I mean that the reports have been
having over the last year have all been revised downward afterwards.
They're almost useless when they come out because they obviously
are are inflating numbers from the young government. From that perspective, so,
you know, from a recessional standpoint, we'll probably ahead of
where a lot of the economists are saying anyway. But
(10:55):
let's that aside. From a political standpoint, yes, I agree
with you, they're going to try to continue doubling down
on the you know, I don't know how to explain it,
the socialist socialist type effort to you know, centralize all
forms of government and spending through the government.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
An administrative state that things that can spend its way
out of a spending problem and debt. It's a way
out of a debt problem. It's insanity.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Yeah, it's it's crazy, and that's why we've had double
digit inflation for the last four years. And you know,
Republicans are't immune to this. We do have the Congress
and should be at least the House and could try
to stop some of this and have not, so I mean,
i'm you know, as a as a conservative first, I mean,
you know, we're not necessarily helping on some of that.
But it's why this election is so important. You can't
(11:40):
continue to do this. It's going to really jeffarize, you know,
a lot of the foundation of this country. You know
that the debt has increased so much. I saw a
charter over the weekend just showing that a massive amount
of debt has really started since Obama and it just
can't continue like this. I mean, there's just you run
out of other people's money at some point. I've seen
Milton Friedman making all the rounds on social media recently,
(12:01):
and I'm glad people are kind of finding him again
because his view is particularly important. The real tax is
what government spending is. It's not what your tax rate is.
And so when you look at all of what's happened
over the last three and a half years in particular, I.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Also thought that it'd be very interesting. You know, conventions
are tempting. Do you play to the room or do
you play America to America watching on television, even more
specifically undecided voters and independence. That's going to be difficult
for them to do. Trump fails that. Trump tends to
(12:34):
play to his rally crowd, which plays very well in
that facility or in that outdoor area, but it doesn't
play well in sound clips with the media or to
the independent voter or the undecided voter. That's a big
key for them. I think their delegates are going to
kumbaya and buy the Kodi Tah, no problem, but they
(12:55):
better be careful if they focus more on the room
than those watching at home. And that's what that's out
of everything, that's the dynamic I'm wanting to watch with
a fine tooth comb.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Well, I think Kamala's first real choice was Tim Waltz
as VP. That was playing to the room, not to
the not to the TV audience. Ultimately, right, I mean,
he's he's as left wing as they come. She she
had other more moderate options, she didn't choose them. So
she seems to be making a play for the base
rather than on the moderate side of it. It's frankly,
(13:28):
so is sort of the Republicans. So, I mean, this
is an interesting race and the standpoint that's nobody's trying
to speak to the middle kind of undecided voters. The
media is trying to do that for the Democrats, which
may actually work, but that's really what we're seeing from
the campaign. So, I mean, ultimately, she has an opportunity
to speak to the nation. She should speak to the
television audience and not to the room because the room
(13:49):
will be there anyway. If I'm if I'm writing the
speech for her, it is a it is a swing state,
you know, middle of the country focus. It is not
the left wing, you know, red meat for lack of
better term that you know, the convention hall crowd would
be deeming for.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I'm down to thirty seconds, but let me cut to
the chase, all right. So if she's talking to the
television and to America, she needs to distance herself from
the very policies and platform of her party, not just
Joe Biden that's going to be tricky, right, because then
you'll lose the rule.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Well, and she can't do it because that's not who
she is, and it will be an authentic and she's
obviously very an authentic anyway. But to win, she's going
to have to try. I mean, this is her one
chance to really introduce herself to the country. She's going
to have to do it by not sound like a
radical left wing democrat from California.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Well, she better be careful because sixty four point nine
percent of America still thinks we're heading in the wrong
direction and that direction is part half of her ticket,
so that that's going to be pretty tricky. All right,
We'll be watching and we'll be analyzing. Chris. Thanks for
your insights very much. This is your morning show with
Michael del Tuono. Thanks for waking up with this. No
(14:58):
matter how you're listening to us, it's thirty six minutes
after the hour, the proverbial twenty four minutes to be
to work on time. All eyes are on Chicago, the
Democratic National Convention, the great kumbai Ya from the stage,
the great defend against violent protests outside, and then the
distancing of the condition of the American economy and border, which,
(15:20):
by the way, one of the great twists of fate.
Today is the same party that doesn't believe in securing
our border for the sake of sovereignty and law and
order is the same one that's putting up walls around
the Convention Center in Chicago with a buffer zone, a
national guard, and an armed police force. It just can't
(15:41):
beat the ironies of the hour. Meanwhile, the Ernesto tropical
storm is now back to being a hurricane and churning
towards Canada, and over seventeen thousand AT and T workers
across the southeaster on strike, saying the company management has
been doing unfair labor practices. Here with another interesting story,
(16:02):
which is a trend of decades Americans having less children
than previous generations. Oh, this is a big Pandora's box.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Good morning, Eron, Yes, this is a big Pandora's box.
What we know are the statistics behind it, and that
apparently women today are having one point six berths like
per women in twenty twenty three. According to the National
Center for Health Statistics, they need to have two point
one berths in order to sustain the population, so fewer
(16:32):
babies means fewer workers, fewer tax payers, shrinking economy. Some
people will say this is moral decay. Some people will
raise alarms in terms of the economics. But what I
find the most interesting, Michael, is that if you look
at a few research study just from last year, of
the adults eighteen to thirty four, just over half say
(16:54):
they don't want kids. And this is the part that
knock my socks off. Money is not the number one
reason that I thought it was a money thing.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
It's not.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Apparently they say they just don't want them. They think
the stakes are too high, they're concerned about messing it up,
and they want to travel, they want a career, they
want other stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
All right, So you know there are several things. There
are some that don't want to have children because they
think the earth is overpopulated and an impects global warming. Yeah,
that's out there. Money can't afford it. That's been every generation. Right.
If you wait to when you can afford kids, you'd
never have them. But what we're seeing now is a selfishness,
(17:35):
a set which, by the way, one of the I
don't know if you feel the same way I do.
I'm sure you do. If I died today and I
got to have it, and God said, hey, would you
think of it down there? I'd say, man, it's out
of control. But everything was overrated except for marriage and children.
And here is a selfish America that doesn't necessarily value either.
(17:57):
I think that's frightening. As the fly goes, so the
community goes. As the community goes, so the musisip municipality goes,
so the state goes, so the country goes. I mean,
our whole economic system is simply unsustainable if we're not
replenishing with population. Not to mention, there's cultural aspects at
(18:17):
play here if others are filling that population voiled void
of a culture anaesthetical to the one our republic and
law and order was established for. I mean, this is
the biggest Pandora box of the moment, and this is
one of those big problems that if we don't solve it,
like the social dilemma and the death of journalism, we're
never going to solve the daily problems that we face.
(18:40):
This is really the biggest story of our time, in
all time of.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
The day potentially. But you know, there's a lot of
social scientists and demographers that say, believe it or not
that there's this pattern that actually occurs. You have spikes
and then drops, and it's a pattern that occurs when
you have income and quality of life that go up.
You see societies they move from having lots of births
(19:04):
and lots of deaths to fewer births and living longer.
So then the question becomes like, it's hard to argue
that more education and a longer life expectancy are a
bad thing for humanity. But we do know that more
educated populations, both men and women, they either delay becoming
a parent or they tend to have fewer children. But
what I think is really interesting again, I go back
(19:25):
to the part where they think a lot of people
think the stakes are extremely high, and we know that
compared to the sixties, mothers spend Apparently in the sixties
they only spent fifty four minutes per day with their kid.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
It was like, what.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Really, what were they doing the rest of the time?
That seems like so little. Today it's a little bit
over one hundred and four. Dads spent fifteen minutes with
their kids in the sixties. It's now an hour, so
it's still lower. But I have my own friends, like
in my demographic, I'm forty years old who have said that,
and they're not selfish people, they're not morally corrupt people.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
They just are like, I.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Don't want to do this, and they don't necessar they
say it like, yes, money's a factor, it's very very expensive,
but they're like, I don't the stakes are too high.
I have a lifestyle I like. And that's kind of
where they stand. One of them, I'm like, she says
she doesn't want kids, and I'm like, yeah, I don't
know if you'd be great at it. Another one like
that's a shame. I think you would be really good
at it.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
But the one who really doesn't.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Want I'm like, yeah, that's good self awareness, Like I
don't think this would turn out well for any party.
But then there's others that I'm like, no, no, you
can do this, Like you can definitely, but I get it,
and I'm not judging either way. It's just an interesting
trend that more people aren't having kids. And actually the
Pope came out and said that not wanting kids is
a form of selfishness. Now that's that's like a moral question.
(20:41):
But yeah, it's definitely an interesting trend.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Well, because not all are not having kids. There are.
We are in the midst of a holy war. Whether
anybody acknowledges it on radio or not. You have three
types of Muslims, because you had three types of Mohammed.
For the peace loving ones, they're fine. Then there's the
political ones. They play for the future. They populate, then
they agitate, then they wage war than they conquer. If
(21:08):
they're continuing to have children at a large number or others,
it has a great cultural effect. But make no mistake
about it in this story for a republic under God,
indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Economically, this is
chaos in Ikobot. Living longer, having less children to replace
(21:30):
with workers to pay for the previous generation topples this
whole thing. And we're doing this at a time of
thirty five trillion dollars in debt and growing. This is
catastrophic economically, culturally as well in the future, but economically
in the very near future.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Indeed, and listen, it could be or could not be,
because there's also social scientists and economists that say those
who are being not replaced by children immigration. I know
that a lot of people don't want to hear that
that is actually like a way to sustain populations, and
there is going to be a lot of mass migration
in the near future. And again I'm not arguing for against.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
This either way.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
I have kids and they are literally everything in my life.
They are my life's work and I adore them, and
I feel grateful every day to be a mother. But
I will say it's the hardest gig I've ever had
by a large margin. And like I understand the reluctance
of people, and I don't think people should enter into
parenthood if they're not entering with like the utmost earnestness.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I'll end it this way. So where the pope is
coming from, how do you think Christianity spread. It's spread
by going forth into all nations, that's number one, and
telling people the story and converting, and also by populating
to go forth and multiply. If you cease to do
that while the other side is doing it, you're right,
(22:50):
for whatever reason, selfishes or whatever, you're going to populate
less and the immigrants are going to come and populate.
And it just takes. As political Islamists will tell you,
and it's all in their strategy. It only takes some
two generations to take over culture. Because they don't need
fifty one percent in order to do that. So look,
if you care about being a republic, because remember, Islam
(23:12):
is anathetical to our way of life. It doesn't believe
in separation of church and state, it doesn't believe in
freedom of speech, doesn't believe in right of assembly, doesn't
believe you picking something out of your closet to wear today.
There are problems down the road with this, culturally catastrophic problems.
There are economic catastrophes on the very near horizon. This
is one of the most troubling numbers you could bring
(23:34):
forth today. And there's nothing at a convention tonight or
this week that's going to impact that. And this is
part of what we have been slowly propagating over time
through common education, through entertainment, through movies, through sitcoms, through dramas.
We're making a bed. I don't think you're going to
like living in it. They're in great reporting today. We'll
(23:56):
talk again tomorrow. You keep loving your kids, I'll keep
loving mind. I think it's the only thing in life
that isn't overrated. But that's just me art. If you're
just waking up Top five stories of the day, well
it's all about that convention and all asid it cartin
(24:16):
rises on the DNC today and all attention outside to
keep protests from getting inside, and a lot of old
names that they're going to try to distance themselves from.
Policies will be featured throughout the week, starting with Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
President Biden spent the weekend at Camp David working on
his keynote address with top aids. Biden is expected to
make his case for Vice President Kamala Harris, who succeed him,
when he speaks to delegates and a nationwide television audience
Monday night. Day one of the convention will include a
series of tributes to Biden and what Democratic officials are
calling a passing of the Torch moment, with Harris joining
(24:53):
him on stage, I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Of all my favorite pieces today. You can't top the
security protocols, I mean the buffer zone, the walls that
are going up, everything they won't do with the border
that they're doing to protect their convention. That's tough the top.
The other one is how they're going to try to
distance themselves from the very policies and platform that has
(25:20):
created this inflation, the interest rates the poor economy, the
stagnant wages, and the poorest border border crisis slash housing
crisis in America, and yet how do they plan to
do it well. That brings us to the Washington Post,
who says, is this really nineteen sixty eight? I mean,
(25:41):
everyone's talking about Chicago in nineteen sixty eight, but the
vibe just feels more two thousand and eight. Barack Obama Kumbaya.
That may be the ultimate grand illusion of this week.
Make you think it's two thousand and eight in nineteen
sixty eight. And we'll see how the week plays out
(26:01):
and what America buys. But they're certainly rolling out Barack
and Michelle Obama. They'll be keynote speakers this week. Bill
Clinton will be keynote speaker. Hillary Clinton will be a
keynote speaker. Same party that created this mass. As they're
distancing it, We'll tell you the torch is being passed
to a new generation Mamala Kamala. In the meantime, more
(26:25):
than half of the biggest companies in America see artificial
intelligence as a possible risk to their business, not a solution.
Tammy Trihilo explains.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
That's according to a new survey from a Rise AI,
a research company that tracks public disclosures from businesses, About
fifty six percent cited AI as a potential risk. That's
up from just nine percent in twenty twenty two. About
one in three companies saw AI as an emerging opportunity.
I'm Tammy trheo.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Well.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Americans went to the box office this weekend and saw movies.
Most of them saw Alien Car reports, the prequel Alien
Romulus has earned the franchise's second biggest opening, expected to
bring in between forty and forty two million dollars over
the weekend. Right Well, Deadpool and Wolverine.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
Drops to second place, and it's fourth weekend in theaters.
I waited a long time for his team out When
You Were an Accident, earning twenty seven million dollars. In
third is it Ends with Us, bringing in twenty four
million and its second weekend. Twisters comes in fourth and
has reportedly brought in a total of two hundred and
thirty seven million dollars so far. I'm Scott Carr.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I got a text message from my daughter saying, End
with Us really moved me. It was a moving movie. Really, yeah,
Because you know, remember this is the first time a
husband and wife have been number one and number two
at the box office since well that we would go
back to Demi Moore and Ghost and Bruce Willis in
(27:58):
what was this big one in the Tower of die
Hard die Hard? Yeah, yeah, And so you have Ryan
Reynolds in his Deadpool and then his wife Blake Lively
in this End of Us And apparently end of Us
is really good. I don't know. I don't going to
I saw Twister this weekend. Twister was good. I loved it.
It really was good.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
I'm Lenny McGill of McGill's world famous Block Store, and
my morning show is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Closing moments of your Morning Show on the Aaron streaming
live on your iHeart radio app. Good morning, Well, all
eyes will be on the convention stage on television in Chicago,
all eyes will be on the streets. Rory O'Neil always
gets the final story. Good morning, Rory. Talk about security
and protesters.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
Yeah, Michael, we've seen the protests and the demonstrations already
start at the first officially sanctioned marches happened on Sunday
around the Loop of Chicago. But they say the biggest
demonstrations will be taking place today now. Organizers say there
could be one hundred thousand people. Got to put a
big asterisk on that seems unlikely, but maybe we'll see.
(29:09):
Most of the protests will be centered around the issue
of Gaza and the support for Israel. Chicago has the
nation's largest Palestinian population, so we're expecting that's going to
be the front and center issue today. But we've also
seen some of the protesters yesterday marching along on issues
like gay rights and abortion rights too.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
You know, we've never said this out loud, but why
did they choose Chicago at a time where they've got
this Israeli problem within their party? They choose Chicago. It's
not like they need to deliver Illinois like Wisconsin. The
Republicans needed Wisconsin largest Palestinian population where there's the report
of what nineteen were killed in the Gaza strip this weekend.
(29:51):
That'll gin things up this weekend. I thought it was
interesting it was those demanding abortion and LGBTQ rights that
were marching. They may not even get along with those.
There's really a muss protesters when they show up. I mean,
you're just asking for it.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
But well, okay, well this would have been chosen before
October seventh, So I mean not to say that that
solves the.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Problem, but well yeah, but I mean they knew, but
they knew a year. I mean, even with Joe Biden,
they knew this was going to be an issue of contention.
And of course in sixty eight it was over Vietnam
War and we had multiple candidates. But the blood on
the streets, of course, then eventually spilled over and got
into the conventional They got buffers, they got walls. Everything
they don't have at the border to protect that from
(30:35):
happening this year, including the National Guard.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
Yeah, but like the Olympics, cities don't want these things
anymore because you have to put the cities on lockdown.
There are a lot of places that say we don't
want it. I'm here in Orlando. We could have a
convention with one hundred thousand people and not even know
it's happening, right, because it's just blends another one, you know,
no big deal.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
But with the police, with the.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
Attention, with the potential for violence, A lot of big
cities don't want these Why isn't there a convention in
Las Vegas?
Speaker 1 (31:04):
They could host that thing. Nev isn't to us upstate
because the elections a gamble enough, all right, but they
don't want to lose the business.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (31:12):
So it's a lot of cities don't want these things
and don't submit bids to compete for them.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
All right. Well, we said a lot of people have
talked about in nineteen sixty eight, they knew that there
was trouble brewing, and of course Mayor Daily said I
got it all under control. Now they're saying they got
it under control, whether it's the mayor of Chicago or
Governor Pritzker and the National Guard is standing by. Time
will tell, And I think the first thing to look
for is these numbers. Right, are we talking about ten
thousand or one hundred thousand. That'll be the first.
Speaker 7 (31:38):
Clue, right, I think that, you know, the organizer saying
one hundred thousand, I just flat out don't believe it.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
But we'll wait and see.
Speaker 7 (31:45):
I think that now that Harris is on the top
of the ticket, I think that she's seen as being
more sympathetic to their cause, and so that may tamp
down the need they feel.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Well, they want to sell They're going to sell unity
on the stage. They don't want any shots from outside
that give a different visual. Great reporting where we'll talk
again tomorrow. We're all in this together. This is Your
Morning Show with Michael Mindel Journo
Hi, I'm Michael. We'd love to have you listen every
weekday morning to your morning show live, even take us
along with you on the drive to work. We can
be heard on great radio stations like one oh four
nine The Patriot in Saint Louis, Our Talk Radio ninety
eight point three and fifteen ten WLAC and Nashville, and
News Talk five fifty k f YI in Phoenix, Arizona.
Love to be a part of your morning routine, but
we're always grateful you're here. Now. Enjoy the podcast well
(00:23):
two three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
This is your morning show with Michael del Joan. Thank you,
Mike McCann. I am. I am on the air with
my headphones on, prepared to broadcast in the most serious
of manners. Welcome to Monday, the nineteenth of August. Hear
of Our Lord twenty twenty four and six minutes after
(00:56):
the hour on the air and streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app. I am Michael Delta, or you can always
email me Michael did at iHeartMedia dot com. Rachel writes,
one of the things I appreciate about the show is
how there's pretty much no aggression. You're actually approaching things
in a conversational tone, which, after several years of pridefulness
I found is the only way to begin to change
(01:17):
someone's mind on any topic. It was a sweet way
to start the day. This one comes from Ron in Columbus, Georgia,
testing test email. I guess this guy wasn't before you.
I guess it worked testing one, two, three, Yes, I
hear you. Ron. You can now send your regular email. Meanwhile,
(01:39):
on the talkback button, Hello, anybody there?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
That's the Yeah, anybody there?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, we had that on there the talk one day
he was testing, and now we have one doing it
on email. Catherine writes, Michael, just curious, are you able
to hear the ads that run during your show? Because
they just played an ad for Kamala Harris. Well, thank god, no. Actually,
to be honest, just so I'm not sitting here with
(02:07):
just dead air during the breaks, Jeffreel put up WLAC
in Nashville. I can hear their ads. So, but again,
we're on in many many, many, many many cities, so
it depends where you're living what ads you're hearing. So
you're all not hearing the same ads, and I can't
control what ads you're hearing. And she's got three hundred
(02:28):
and seventy million dollars, you're going to hear some come
our way. But obviously no, I can't hear all the
ads that are airing in all cities as they're purchase.
Keep the emails coming, Michael de atiheartmedia dot com. We
always appreciate communicating with you. After all, can't have your
morning show without your voice. If you're just waking up.
The curtains about to arise on the Democratic National Convention
in Chicago today, preparations for protesters outside. Isn't that a
(02:52):
great irony? Walls going up, buffers, troops, police all to
protect the DNC convention in a way they won't protect
their border, but they don't want any drunk and riots
in their study spilling into their convention hall as they're
doing a great grand illusion on television. So that's some
(03:13):
of the drama that's playing out as we wake up
this morning. Chris Walker is a Republican Party consultant and analyst,
and now it's time for the Democrats to sell the
drop and replace that they pulled off and create Kumbai
Yah for the next four days. It's their turn. What
do you think the keys are to their convention, Chris.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Good morning, Michael. I think they're the keys. Are them
to not be themselves? Yeah? Will like get away. They're
going to have to sell the American people of not
these radical left extremists that they are. I mean, they're
having to bring these police, you know, this police force
into the city and I mean they did that for
(03:53):
Republicans too, honestly, but again it's because of radical left
wing protesters, who are you know, their core audience that
they're catering to. These two folks are still wearing masks
and you know, continuing to pretend, you know that they
are there are the mainstream of America when they are nothing.
But you know, it would be interesting. We've see the lineup.
(04:13):
I mean, tonight's going to be about Biden, the Bidens,
and the Biden legacy, that that is what it is.
They're going to have to run from that, you know.
Kamala Harris puts out her economic plan, pretending that she
hasn't been in office for the last three and a
half years. So it's going to be a little kabooky
theater like we've seen for the last month in terms
of their own candidate, you know, pretending to be things
that they are not, in an effort to kind of
(04:35):
pull the wall over the eyes of the American people
and and tell them that their failures are not their own.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Any convention, any year doesn't matter, the party, doesn't matter
the election cycle. The convention is about solidifying the ticket,
formalizing the nomination of president and vice president, creating party unity,
and then momentum going out. Wow, think about this one.
You had Joe Biden who was president, wanted to be president.
(05:06):
His party turned on him, his Congress turned on him,
the media turned on him, and they literally ousted him.
They put in place her disregarded all of their party
people's votes to do so. They go into the convention
like the Republicans, with unity already. The Republicans didn't get
(05:27):
much momentum. It was either blocked by this coup to
remove Biden and put Harris in place, or because you
got unity going in, there's really no momentum to leave with,
don't they. In other words, I'm looking at these polls
and they have certainly tightened up even in the swing states,
dead even but I think this is as good as
it gets. And I don't think there's a bump coming
(05:47):
because it's kind of baked into the cake. What say you?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
My sense is there's going to be a bump coming
out of this, just in the pure fact that you
have the entire Hollywood apparatus. Evan said it really well.
I mean, she's not running for president, she's running as
an it's not running a campaign. He's running a movie.
And there's the entire culture apparatus behind her right now.
And so while the extremely plugged in see through it
(06:15):
and understand when she talks about price controls that it's
you know, it leads to two food lines and and
and you know communism. Most people are going to see
the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and you know, the
feel good attitude and the joy and all of the
things that they say there about and and ingest it.
So I would inticipate them getting a bounce out of this.
(06:37):
And again I just reiterate again from a standpoint of
just human nature. You know, new, Trump's old more often
than not, and in our case, Kamala is new, and
she's introducing herself to the American public, and there's there
will be a fascination there. It will be an interesting
thing to see how many people watch her speech on
Thursday night, because this is her introduction to the country
(06:58):
for for the first time, really and what's she about,
what's her background, what, what what drives her? I mean,
I'll be tuning in to hear that. I'm not going
to believe anything she says, but I think there's a
he has a chance for reset here or let me
let me stay more of a set, and you know,
I think it's going to be important for her to
(07:19):
really push out there. Well, we'll see what she says.
But ultimately, again Democrats will win when they sound like
Republicans are going to have to, you know, tone down,
tamp down the crazy that they've been for the last
twenty years. And I just I'm not sure that they
have in their DNA to do that.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Well, the problem is sixty four percent of America still
thinks we're heading in the wrong direction, and they've got
to somehow convinced that they're not. They don't have any
role in that direction. That's a pretty big abercadabra I
would suspect in this Hollywood movie versus an actual campaign,
(07:54):
the theme of joy and laughter. Do you suspect that
will play out.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Well, it's what they're going to try to say, but
the news that they're being honest and they're going to
you know, you and I kind of firmly believe that
this is a nineteen sixty eight repeat in a lot
of ways in terms of what we're seeing seeing in
Chicago right down to the same city of the convention.
There's going to be there's gonna be riot, there's gonna
be turmoil. There's going to be activists out there trying
to do their best to disrupt because it's what that's
(08:22):
only what they know how to do, and so they
can preach joy on the inside, but what you're going
to see really is what's happening on the outside. I
think that's going to be the real driver of this
news cycle of the next week. And that's going to
be I mean, it's our started yesterday. I mean, you
see protesters taking over the stage at the welcome party
for the convention, and that was just one example. They're
really going to be focused on the floor where all
(08:43):
the actual cameras are.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Over the next four days, NBC did a story Top
five things to look for at the convention, and one
of them was vibes or policy. I think this really
is the key. Well, they continue to play the movie game,
the vibe game. She's stuck mainly to the teleprompter. She's
avoided all media interviews, she hasn't had a debate yet.
(09:06):
Everything is just feel good, vibe, momentum, joy, laughter. But
when you get into actual policies, policies that have created
the inflation, that created the high interest rates, that created
the stagnant wages and the poor economy, let alone the
border policies that she was put in charge of that
(09:29):
America stands so against, that becomes problematic. I think if
I'm noticing the style and tactic of the teleprompter on
the campaign trail, the very things, which is government solutions
to everything, freebies. Maybe we're not paying off your student
loan this time, maybe we're paying off your hospital bills.
But it's this kind of spending of money in an
(09:51):
economy that's not associated with goods and services that creates
inflation with different titles. So now we'll do it for childcare.
Now we'll do it for prescription drugs. Now we'll do
it for rent. Now we'll do it for you know,
paying off emergency room and hospital bills. But it's the
(10:13):
same thing that got us into inflation in the first place,
just done with different titles. So I suspect they will
major in good vibes and minor in this policy tactic.
And if America doesn't see through, I see a lot
more debt and a lot more inflation, and I might
even see a recession in your future if you don't
wake up.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Well, I mean, let's you know, honestly, let's look at
the jobs reports. I mean that the reports have been
having over the last year have all been revised downward afterwards.
They're almost useless when they come out because they obviously
are are inflating numbers from the young government. From that perspective, so,
you know, from a recessional standpoint, we'll probably ahead of
where a lot of the economists are saying anyway. But
(10:55):
let's that aside. From a political standpoint, yes, I agree
with you, they're going to try to continue doubling down
on the you know, I don't know how to explain it,
the socialist socialist type effort to you know, centralize all
forms of government and spending through the government.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
An administrative state that things that can spend its way
out of a spending problem and debt. It's a way
out of a debt problem. It's insanity.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Yeah, it's it's crazy, and that's why we've had double
digit inflation for the last four years. And you know,
Republicans are't immune to this. We do have the Congress
and should be at least the House and could try
to stop some of this and have not, so I mean,
i'm you know, as a as a conservative first, I mean,
you know, we're not necessarily helping on some of that.
But it's why this election is so important. You can't
(11:40):
continue to do this. It's going to really jeffarize, you know,
a lot of the foundation of this country. You know
that the debt has increased so much. I saw a
charter over the weekend just showing that a massive amount
of debt has really started since Obama and it just
can't continue like this. I mean, there's just you run
out of other people's money at some point. I've seen
Milton Friedman making all the rounds on social media recently,
(12:01):
and I'm glad people are kind of finding him again
because his view is particularly important. The real tax is
what government spending is. It's not what your tax rate is.
And so when you look at all of what's happened
over the last three and a half years in particular, I.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Also thought that it'd be very interesting. You know, conventions
are tempting. Do you play to the room or do
you play America to America watching on television, even more
specifically undecided voters and independence. That's going to be difficult
for them to do. Trump fails that. Trump tends to
(12:34):
play to his rally crowd, which plays very well in
that facility or in that outdoor area, but it doesn't
play well in sound clips with the media or to
the independent voter or the undecided voter. That's a big
key for them. I think their delegates are going to
kumbaya and buy the Kodi Tah, no problem, but they
(12:55):
better be careful if they focus more on the room
than those watching at home. And that's what that's out
of everything, that's the dynamic I'm wanting to watch with
a fine tooth comb.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Well, I think Kamala's first real choice was Tim Waltz
as VP. That was playing to the room, not to
the not to the TV audience. Ultimately, right, I mean,
he's he's as left wing as they come. She she
had other more moderate options, she didn't choose them. So
she seems to be making a play for the base
rather than on the moderate side of it. It's frankly,
(13:28):
so is sort of the Republicans. So, I mean, this
is an interesting race and the standpoint that's nobody's trying
to speak to the middle kind of undecided voters. The
media is trying to do that for the Democrats, which
may actually work, but that's really what we're seeing from
the campaign. So, I mean, ultimately, she has an opportunity
to speak to the nation. She should speak to the
television audience and not to the room because the room
(13:49):
will be there anyway. If I'm if I'm writing the
speech for her, it is a it is a swing state,
you know, middle of the country focus. It is not
the left wing, you know, red meat for lack of
better term that you know, the convention hall crowd would
be deeming for.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I'm down to thirty seconds, but let me cut to
the chase, all right. So if she's talking to the
television and to America, she needs to distance herself from
the very policies and platform of her party, not just
Joe Biden that's going to be tricky, right, because then
you'll lose the rule.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Well, and she can't do it because that's not who
she is, and it will be an authentic and she's
obviously very an authentic anyway. But to win, she's going
to have to try. I mean, this is her one
chance to really introduce herself to the country. She's going
to have to do it by not sound like a
radical left wing democrat from California.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Well, she better be careful because sixty four point nine
percent of America still thinks we're heading in the wrong
direction and that direction is part half of her ticket,
so that that's going to be pretty tricky. All right,
We'll be watching and we'll be analyzing. Chris. Thanks for
your insights very much. This is your morning show with
Michael del Tuono. Thanks for waking up with this. No
(14:58):
matter how you're listening to us, it's thirty six minutes
after the hour, the proverbial twenty four minutes to be
to work on time. All eyes are on Chicago, the
Democratic National Convention, the great kumbai Ya from the stage,
the great defend against violent protests outside, and then the
distancing of the condition of the American economy and border, which,
(15:20):
by the way, one of the great twists of fate.
Today is the same party that doesn't believe in securing
our border for the sake of sovereignty and law and
order is the same one that's putting up walls around
the Convention Center in Chicago with a buffer zone, a
national guard, and an armed police force. It just can't
(15:41):
beat the ironies of the hour. Meanwhile, the Ernesto tropical
storm is now back to being a hurricane and churning
towards Canada, and over seventeen thousand AT and T workers
across the southeaster on strike, saying the company management has
been doing unfair labor practices. Here with another interesting story,
(16:02):
which is a trend of decades Americans having less children
than previous generations. Oh, this is a big Pandora's box.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Good morning, Eron, Yes, this is a big Pandora's box.
What we know are the statistics behind it, and that
apparently women today are having one point six berths like
per women in twenty twenty three. According to the National
Center for Health Statistics, they need to have two point
one berths in order to sustain the population, so fewer
(16:32):
babies means fewer workers, fewer tax payers, shrinking economy. Some
people will say this is moral decay. Some people will
raise alarms in terms of the economics. But what I
find the most interesting, Michael, is that if you look
at a few research study just from last year, of
the adults eighteen to thirty four, just over half say
(16:54):
they don't want kids. And this is the part that
knock my socks off. Money is not the number one
reason that I thought it was a money thing.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
It's not.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Apparently they say they just don't want them. They think
the stakes are too high, they're concerned about messing it up,
and they want to travel, they want a career, they
want other stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
All right, So you know there are several things. There
are some that don't want to have children because they
think the earth is overpopulated and an impects global warming. Yeah,
that's out there. Money can't afford it. That's been every generation. Right.
If you wait to when you can afford kids, you'd
never have them. But what we're seeing now is a selfishness,
(17:35):
a set which, by the way, one of the I
don't know if you feel the same way I do.
I'm sure you do. If I died today and I
got to have it, and God said, hey, would you
think of it down there? I'd say, man, it's out
of control. But everything was overrated except for marriage and children.
And here is a selfish America that doesn't necessarily value either.
(17:57):
I think that's frightening. As the fly goes, so the
community goes. As the community goes, so the musisip municipality goes,
so the state goes, so the country goes. I mean,
our whole economic system is simply unsustainable if we're not
replenishing with population. Not to mention, there's cultural aspects at
(18:17):
play here if others are filling that population voiled void
of a culture anaesthetical to the one our republic and
law and order was established for. I mean, this is
the biggest Pandora box of the moment, and this is
one of those big problems that if we don't solve it,
like the social dilemma and the death of journalism, we're
never going to solve the daily problems that we face.
(18:40):
This is really the biggest story of our time, in
all time of.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
The day potentially. But you know, there's a lot of
social scientists and demographers that say, believe it or not
that there's this pattern that actually occurs. You have spikes
and then drops, and it's a pattern that occurs when
you have income and quality of life that go up.
You see societies they move from having lots of births
(19:04):
and lots of deaths to fewer births and living longer.
So then the question becomes like, it's hard to argue
that more education and a longer life expectancy are a
bad thing for humanity. But we do know that more
educated populations, both men and women, they either delay becoming
a parent or they tend to have fewer children. But
what I think is really interesting again, I go back
(19:25):
to the part where they think a lot of people
think the stakes are extremely high, and we know that
compared to the sixties, mothers spend Apparently in the sixties
they only spent fifty four minutes per day with their kid.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
It was like, what.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Really, what were they doing the rest of the time?
That seems like so little. Today it's a little bit
over one hundred and four. Dads spent fifteen minutes with
their kids in the sixties. It's now an hour, so
it's still lower. But I have my own friends, like
in my demographic, I'm forty years old who have said that,
and they're not selfish people, they're not morally corrupt people.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
They just are like, I.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Don't want to do this, and they don't necessar they
say it like, yes, money's a factor, it's very very expensive,
but they're like, I don't the stakes are too high.
I have a lifestyle I like. And that's kind of
where they stand. One of them, I'm like, she says
she doesn't want kids, and I'm like, yeah, I don't
know if you'd be great at it. Another one like
that's a shame. I think you would be really good
at it.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
But the one who really doesn't.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Want I'm like, yeah, that's good self awareness, Like I
don't think this would turn out well for any party.
But then there's others that I'm like, no, no, you
can do this, Like you can definitely, but I get it,
and I'm not judging either way. It's just an interesting
trend that more people aren't having kids. And actually the
Pope came out and said that not wanting kids is
a form of selfishness. Now that's that's like a moral question.
(20:41):
But yeah, it's definitely an interesting trend.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Well, because not all are not having kids. There are.
We are in the midst of a holy war. Whether
anybody acknowledges it on radio or not. You have three
types of Muslims, because you had three types of Mohammed.
For the peace loving ones, they're fine. Then there's the
political ones. They play for the future. They populate, then
they agitate, then they wage war than they conquer. If
(21:08):
they're continuing to have children at a large number or others,
it has a great cultural effect. But make no mistake
about it in this story for a republic under God,
indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Economically, this is
chaos in Ikobot. Living longer, having less children to replace
(21:30):
with workers to pay for the previous generation topples this
whole thing. And we're doing this at a time of
thirty five trillion dollars in debt and growing. This is
catastrophic economically, culturally as well in the future, but economically
in the very near future.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Indeed, and listen, it could be or could not be,
because there's also social scientists and economists that say those
who are being not replaced by children immigration. I know
that a lot of people don't want to hear that
that is actually like a way to sustain populations, and
there is going to be a lot of mass migration
in the near future. And again I'm not arguing for against.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
This either way.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
I have kids and they are literally everything in my life.
They are my life's work and I adore them, and
I feel grateful every day to be a mother. But
I will say it's the hardest gig I've ever had
by a large margin. And like I understand the reluctance
of people, and I don't think people should enter into
parenthood if they're not entering with like the utmost earnestness.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I'll end it this way. So where the pope is
coming from, how do you think Christianity spread. It's spread
by going forth into all nations, that's number one, and
telling people the story and converting, and also by populating
to go forth and multiply. If you cease to do
that while the other side is doing it, you're right,
(22:50):
for whatever reason, selfishes or whatever, you're going to populate
less and the immigrants are going to come and populate.
And it just takes. As political Islamists will tell you,
and it's all in their strategy. It only takes some
two generations to take over culture. Because they don't need
fifty one percent in order to do that. So look,
if you care about being a republic, because remember, Islam
(23:12):
is anathetical to our way of life. It doesn't believe
in separation of church and state, it doesn't believe in
freedom of speech, doesn't believe in right of assembly, doesn't
believe you picking something out of your closet to wear today.
There are problems down the road with this, culturally catastrophic problems.
There are economic catastrophes on the very near horizon. This
is one of the most troubling numbers you could bring
(23:34):
forth today. And there's nothing at a convention tonight or
this week that's going to impact that. And this is
part of what we have been slowly propagating over time
through common education, through entertainment, through movies, through sitcoms, through dramas.
We're making a bed. I don't think you're going to
like living in it. They're in great reporting today. We'll
(23:56):
talk again tomorrow. You keep loving your kids, I'll keep
loving mind. I think it's the only thing in life
that isn't overrated. But that's just me art. If you're
just waking up Top five stories of the day, well
it's all about that convention and all asid it cartin
(24:16):
rises on the DNC today and all attention outside to
keep protests from getting inside, and a lot of old
names that they're going to try to distance themselves from.
Policies will be featured throughout the week, starting with Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
President Biden spent the weekend at Camp David working on
his keynote address with top aids. Biden is expected to
make his case for Vice President Kamala Harris, who succeed him,
when he speaks to delegates and a nationwide television audience
Monday night. Day one of the convention will include a
series of tributes to Biden and what Democratic officials are
calling a passing of the Torch moment, with Harris joining
(24:53):
him on stage, I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Of all my favorite pieces today. You can't top the
security protocols, I mean the buffer zone, the walls that
are going up, everything they won't do with the border
that they're doing to protect their convention. That's tough the top.
The other one is how they're going to try to
distance themselves from the very policies and platform that has
(25:20):
created this inflation, the interest rates the poor economy, the
stagnant wages, and the poorest border border crisis slash housing
crisis in America, and yet how do they plan to
do it well. That brings us to the Washington Post,
who says, is this really nineteen sixty eight? I mean,
(25:41):
everyone's talking about Chicago in nineteen sixty eight, but the
vibe just feels more two thousand and eight. Barack Obama Kumbaya.
That may be the ultimate grand illusion of this week.
Make you think it's two thousand and eight in nineteen
sixty eight. And we'll see how the week plays out
(26:01):
and what America buys. But they're certainly rolling out Barack
and Michelle Obama. They'll be keynote speakers this week. Bill
Clinton will be keynote speaker. Hillary Clinton will be a
keynote speaker. Same party that created this mass. As they're
distancing it, We'll tell you the torch is being passed
to a new generation Mamala Kamala. In the meantime, more
(26:25):
than half of the biggest companies in America see artificial
intelligence as a possible risk to their business, not a solution.
Tammy Trihilo explains.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
That's according to a new survey from a Rise AI,
a research company that tracks public disclosures from businesses, About
fifty six percent cited AI as a potential risk. That's
up from just nine percent in twenty twenty two. About
one in three companies saw AI as an emerging opportunity.
I'm Tammy trheo.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Well.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Americans went to the box office this weekend and saw movies.
Most of them saw Alien Car reports, the prequel Alien
Romulus has earned the franchise's second biggest opening, expected to
bring in between forty and forty two million dollars over
the weekend. Right Well, Deadpool and Wolverine.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
Drops to second place, and it's fourth weekend in theaters.
I waited a long time for his team out When
You Were an Accident, earning twenty seven million dollars. In
third is it Ends with Us, bringing in twenty four
million and its second weekend. Twisters comes in fourth and
has reportedly brought in a total of two hundred and
thirty seven million dollars so far. I'm Scott Carr.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I got a text message from my daughter saying, End
with Us really moved me. It was a moving movie. Really, yeah,
Because you know, remember this is the first time a
husband and wife have been number one and number two
at the box office since well that we would go
back to Demi Moore and Ghost and Bruce Willis in
(27:58):
what was this big one in the Tower of die
Hard die Hard? Yeah, yeah, And so you have Ryan
Reynolds in his Deadpool and then his wife Blake Lively
in this End of Us And apparently end of Us
is really good. I don't know. I don't going to
I saw Twister this weekend. Twister was good. I loved it.
It really was good.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
I'm Lenny McGill of McGill's world famous Block Store, and
my morning show is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Closing moments of your Morning Show on the Aaron streaming
live on your iHeart radio app. Good morning, Well, all
eyes will be on the convention stage on television in Chicago,
all eyes will be on the streets. Rory O'Neil always
gets the final story. Good morning, Rory. Talk about security
and protesters.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
Yeah, Michael, we've seen the protests and the demonstrations already
start at the first officially sanctioned marches happened on Sunday
around the Loop of Chicago. But they say the biggest
demonstrations will be taking place today now. Organizers say there
could be one hundred thousand people. Got to put a
big asterisk on that seems unlikely, but maybe we'll see.
(29:09):
Most of the protests will be centered around the issue
of Gaza and the support for Israel. Chicago has the
nation's largest Palestinian population, so we're expecting that's going to
be the front and center issue today. But we've also
seen some of the protesters yesterday marching along on issues
like gay rights and abortion rights too.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
You know, we've never said this out loud, but why
did they choose Chicago at a time where they've got
this Israeli problem within their party? They choose Chicago. It's
not like they need to deliver Illinois like Wisconsin. The
Republicans needed Wisconsin largest Palestinian population where there's the report
of what nineteen were killed in the Gaza strip this weekend.
(29:51):
That'll gin things up this weekend. I thought it was
interesting it was those demanding abortion and LGBTQ rights that
were marching. They may not even get along with those.
There's really a muss protesters when they show up. I mean,
you're just asking for it.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
But well, okay, well this would have been chosen before
October seventh, So I mean not to say that that
solves the.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Problem, but well yeah, but I mean they knew, but
they knew a year. I mean, even with Joe Biden,
they knew this was going to be an issue of contention.
And of course in sixty eight it was over Vietnam
War and we had multiple candidates. But the blood on
the streets, of course, then eventually spilled over and got
into the conventional They got buffers, they got walls. Everything
they don't have at the border to protect that from
(30:35):
happening this year, including the National Guard.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
Yeah, but like the Olympics, cities don't want these things
anymore because you have to put the cities on lockdown.
There are a lot of places that say we don't
want it. I'm here in Orlando. We could have a
convention with one hundred thousand people and not even know
it's happening, right, because it's just blends another one, you know,
no big deal.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
But with the police, with the.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
Attention, with the potential for violence, A lot of big
cities don't want these Why isn't there a convention in
Las Vegas?
Speaker 1 (31:04):
They could host that thing. Nev isn't to us upstate
because the elections a gamble enough, all right, but they
don't want to lose the business.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (31:12):
So it's a lot of cities don't want these things
and don't submit bids to compete for them.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
All right. Well, we said a lot of people have
talked about in nineteen sixty eight, they knew that there
was trouble brewing, and of course Mayor Daily said I
got it all under control. Now they're saying they got
it under control, whether it's the mayor of Chicago or
Governor Pritzker and the National Guard is standing by. Time
will tell, And I think the first thing to look
for is these numbers. Right, are we talking about ten
thousand or one hundred thousand. That'll be the first.
Speaker 7 (31:38):
Clue, right, I think that, you know, the organizer saying
one hundred thousand, I just flat out don't believe it.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
But we'll wait and see.
Speaker 7 (31:45):
I think that now that Harris is on the top
of the ticket, I think that she's seen as being
more sympathetic to their cause, and so that may tamp
down the need they feel.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Well, they want to sell They're going to sell unity
on the stage. They don't want any shots from outside
that give a different visual. Great reporting where we'll talk
again tomorrow. We're all in this together. This is Your
