Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show can be heard live five to eight
am Central, six to nine Eastern and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio,
or Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and we're grateful you're here. Now, enjoy
the podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
different because we're in this together. This is your morning
show with Michael O'Dell Jordan.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Here we go, Sorry at a quarterback, flashback seven minutes
after the hour.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
There it is seven minutes after the hour.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Thursday, August and twenty first Yeah of Our Lord, twenty
twenty five on the air and streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app. This is the show that belongs to you.
This is your morning show if you're just waking up.
Those Texas Democrats had to come home sooner or later,
and they did. And the Democrats and Republicans in Texas
had passed a plan to redraw the congressional maps. Now
it heads to the GOP controlled Senate where it's sure
(00:59):
to pass. Meanwhile, speaking of passing, around forty million people
are under coastal flood alerts as Aaron a now category
two hurricane turns along the Atlantic coast. Evacuations have been
ordered in parts of North Carolina's outer banks. And we
did have a million dollar winner in Oklahoma and a
million dollar winner in Michigan, two of our Your Morning
(01:19):
Show states, but no big winner. So the powerball jackpot
now jumps to seven hundred million dollars seven and ten
Americans think the spread of false information is a major
threat facing the nation. What are those threats and what
are the other threats that it's listed with? Always on
(01:40):
top of the story is Rory Rory O'Neill joining us.
Good morning, Rory, Hey there, Michael, good morning. Right.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
This few research poll asked Americans what are the top
issues or top threats facing the US today? And as
you said, seventy percent thought the spread of false information
online was the major threat. Terrorism was second. The global
economy came in third, followed by climate change and the
spread of infectious diseases. Now, certain attitudes break down a
(02:08):
bit differently depending on age and party affiliation. You younger
people thought climate change was a bigger issue than older people.
Same goes for Democrats thinking climate change was a greater
threat than conservatives. But we see that older people and
conservatives thought terrorism was the top threat facing America today.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
How do we know that the seven and ten that
responded that fake news or fake false information is a
major threat wasn't false information?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Well there you go aboutely, you know, I can I
I was from pew pep pew pew.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
No, I was gonna say, I'm a little shocked. AI
isn't in there.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
You Well, I think that's I think that would go
in that category of AI generating the false information that there.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, okay, well maybe so, but it didn't. It doesn't
really imply anything else in there that you don't. Nobody
thinks of nuclear exchange, nobody thinks what everybody normally brings up. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
No, Well, it's also generational.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I think, you know, the gen xer is like myself
and older we remember the Cold War days and the
nuclear threat, which isn't something we talk as much about
these days. So perhaps that's that's part of the reflection here.
With younger people taking part in this poll, and since
they spend more of their time online, they probably experienced
this false information more than anyone.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Well, as I mentioned, just moments ago. The Texas Republicans
have got their map redrawn. The Democrats eventually had to
come home. That's been passed. We have the latest on
that Elon Musk when Rory returns in the third hour. Yeah,
we were talking earlier about how whatever happened to Gavin
Newsom's podcast, You could make a case whatever happened to
(03:59):
Elon Musk forming a new party. Apparently he's not so
interested in doing so anymore. Looks like he might be
a much bigger fan of JD Vance than we thought.
Roy'll have that story coming up in the third hour.
We're all just gonna get your emails and sounds the day,
and I got to do emails because they're stacking up,
and I want to give you know, some people prefer
to communicate in writing, so I want to make sure
(04:20):
we get those in today.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
All right.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
David Zannati is our senior contributor, greatly distracted by our
earlier story, trying to figure out where The New York
Times is coming up with these registration numbers and if
he's buying it. Let's start with our first topic. While
you peruse that in your mind, we were just having
I think it was triggered by Steven A.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Smith.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
You know, Steven A. Smith is someone everybody's listening to
right now. Whether that's wise or not, I don't know.
I didn't really watch him for sports, and I'm exposed
more to his politics. But he did make the statement,
and I wonder how it'll be received by Democrats.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Hey, wait a minute, time out, what are you for. Look?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I don't know if Donald Trump's gonna be able to
bring this war to an end with Russia and Ukraine,
but at least he's trying. Can't you give the man
credit for trying? Why is the left on his back?
Why is the left attacking him? Why do we root
against our own president? And I thought to myself, because
we do.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
And I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
The Republicans were much better when Barack Obama was in office,
but in general, hyperpartisans extreme partisanship. If the left is
rooting for the left and the right's always rooting for
the right, Because isn't that how the left got tricked
into this idiotic state they're in. Oh, now we're suddenly
for crime in our cities. Now we're suddenly for human
trafficking and drugs and open borders. Now we're for war
(05:42):
against peace. That's just playing the anti game. So if
the left's only rooting for the left, the right's only
rooting for the right, who's rooting for America?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
David Zanati? I think the people who are paying the bills.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Yeah, they are that are in their cars right now
on their way to work listening to your More show.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
And it's always been that way, Michael. There's so many
themes around the conversation today and they're all very important,
which you're talking abouts for important, but it's amazing to
me and I'm digesting this New York Times article on
I feel badly that I didn't jump this earlier in
the morning, because.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
No, I'm feeling badly you did up caring.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
I was on a number of different things, but this
stuff will be around, so it's okay. I've been looking
at the redistricting situation, which is all really the same conversation,
and you know you're covering all the same stories. The
question becomes the role of the political parties in this country,
and the real question is.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
What are they in the first place.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
If you ask most people to define what do Democrats
stand for and what do Republicans stand for? As far
as a matter of their platform. Historically, tell me, over
the last ten years, what are the policies that you've
seen most emanated from the Democrats and what are the
policies most eminated from the Republicans. You'd get a very
very wide set of answers. In fact, if you ask
(07:06):
some of the most hardcore people who claim to be
one or the other, they might have the least amount
of information available. So the whole concept of what are
we even talking about here is fundamental, So your question
is appropriate, what's partisan, what's for all of us?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
What is America? Or just this whole stupid game.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
This was shortly before I left the Republican Party, where
the whole game was get more rs and ds, but
with the same amount of debt, the same amount of
you know, big government and government growth, the same control
and enslavement of the people.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I mean, I was just like, this is a stupid
game to play.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Well, let me take this one step farther now into
the redistricting situation. I was studying over the evening restrict
redistricting laws in different state constitutions and how they've.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Gotten to where they are.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
This has always been a problem since eld Gary right
in the beginning of the word gerrymandering, because somebody's got
to decide the districts. And the original constitutional mentality on
this was you'd best let the state legislatures decide because
they're closest to the people and they're the ones who
really are the most representative bodies that we can hand
(08:19):
this responsibility to. However, when those elective bodies become fiercely
partisan and factional, now, what is that going to do
to the system. Well, it's going to sway.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
It one way or the other.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
It's an inevitability, there's no it's just look, these things
happen in time, and that's why they're recalibrated every ten
years based on census, and states can do it within
what they can do it more often than that.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
It's always going to be this fight.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
But let's just take one state for example that's now
in this freight. It was Texas and California talking about registricting.
Now Illinois and Ohio are getting involved, and in each
case we're talking about changing congressional seats. In Ohio right
now it's ten to five Republican to Democrat. Well, there's
a new map that's out there that'll make it eight
(09:06):
to seven. That's a big deal. Okay, that's a big deal.
And how what's that based and reflected upon? Well, the
way that it's put together is it's based and reflected
on who voted for who over the last ten years.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
But if we want to do it based on voter.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Registration, what you have is about thirteen percent of the
people are registered as Republicans. And you know how we
know that is because they pull a Republican ballot in
a Republican primary, because you're not required to know how
to declare your party before you vote. About sixteen percent
of the people are registered as Democrats. That is considered
(09:42):
a red state. The rest, the sixty percent are independents.
Where are they represented in the gerry mandarin question? It's
the vast majority. They have zero representation in the process.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I get completely why you would use Ohio to ask
the question, but that's really a question for America. As
America becomes, America has become overwhelmingly more and more independent.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
And you'll know now that the New York Times article
does make one paragraph so far getting through it about
discussion about the question of independence, But what really doesn't
say is what does it mean to be a part
of a political party? If we're going to be honest
about being a part of a political party, do you
go to their meetings? Do you carry a card? Do
you make contributions to that party? How many people right
now in America do those three things of affiliation and participation?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
What do you make a guess just for the fun
of it, one out of ten? Yeah, I'd say ten
percent on both sides. Yeah, both sides.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Yet the media is dominated between that matrix.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
How does that make sense? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:40):
David Sinisar, Senior contributor. He's also the CEO of the
American Policy Roundtable, he presides over I Voters, and he's
co host of The Public Square heard on two inner
stations on demand anytime at the Public Square dot com.
All right, so, in some ways we the people are
less partisan than ever, more independent than ever, But the
(11:03):
parties themselves and the networks that cover them.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
So social media is really going to create these shifts.
The ability to avoid ABCNBCCBS, cable news, maybe even your
local radio station that was ripping reading from the Associated Press.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Now we're all on social media.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Now we're all talking about these things and they just
simply can't get away with it. Wouldn't that impact some
of these numbers? I mean, do you think.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Without a doubt, Michael, You've been talking about it for years,
and what's going to happen is eventually when you talk
about both one or both parties are going to disappear.
The whole process of the deceit of this is what's
going to go bankrupt because finally somebody is going to
admit the fact that, guess what, you can run from
either base right and still get elected, or you can
(11:50):
run from outside the system and still get elected. Donald
Trump registered his papers with the Republicans and then ran
as an independent. And that's how That's what his career
has been about. No one wants to admit it that
he's actually modeling what it looks.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Like to be a free agent.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Although although I would I would beg the question, what
has he done that hasn't been in the Republican Party
platform all along?
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Well, I'd say there's some things he hasn't done at
the level of let's say, he's given the platform lip
service in a number of places, but he hasn't actually
been involved in as far as advocacy goes he's well,
he's come.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
In and out of that platform.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
He's used that platform like has used everything else to
his advantage.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
So Donald Trump's gone. Anybody interested in right Ted Cruz
or some you know, Jeb Bush making a comeback. I mean,
I would make a case the establishment Republican Party outside
on the national level may not ever exist again. And
in essence, at that point, it becomes the first one gone.
(12:54):
Now the Democrat Party, there's a slow depth and then
there's the fight from within to kill it by the communist, socialist,
and Islamist movements within the party by design that make
it look like it will certainly be gone by the
end of the decade.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
And people don't like to hear this because they'd rather hear,
you know, things that make you feel safe. I don't
blame anybody, and I'm sorry for saying it, but when
you have an outsized personality like Donald Trump that's driving
this train, there's going to be a vacuum left unless
Donald Trump plans for that replacement strategy and transfers what
(13:28):
he's got.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
You mean, one must impart before they depart.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
And if they don't, then what you've got is the
gipper handing the ball off to George H. W. Bush,
who drops the ball and welcome to Bill Clinton.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Oh history, ignore it all you want, You're just causing
it to happen again if you do.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
This is your morning show with Michael del Trono.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Visiting with our senior contributor David Zonati and I sniff overtime.
But you know we were heading the break and you
made that comment about the importance of the Trump handoff. Otherwise,
here comes to H. W. Bush, Here comes a Bill Clinton.
The Republicans and I hated it when they did it,
but they absorbed the tea party movement and the priority
of lowering the debt with it. They haven't absorbed trump Ism.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
That's a big difference, Yeah, because they can't keep up
with that personality. He works too hard for all of them, right,
and that's a big part of it is who's willing
to work hard?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
All right, Let's go through this New York Times story.
So basically what the New York Times is showing, and
again it's coming from the New York Times, So that
makes me smell it, almost smell a rat. They might
be wanting to get people to think about something that
isn't so because this is a very devastating view of
the Democrat Party by in the back pocket of the
Democrat Party a newspaper, but it says the party's hemorrhaging voters,
(14:50):
and it's looking at twenty twenty to twenty four and
losing an essence four point five million voters. At the
same time in the other states where you don't have
to clear your party affiliation, the Republicans, they've lost two
point one million, and the Republicans have gained another two
point four in the twenty states that don't count. So
(15:10):
it's it's about a it's a seven million swing. Well,
I go back to that number where we're singling out
between twenty twenty and twenty twenty four. My guess is
all the fake ballots you harvested in twenty twenty with
your COVID shenanigans is what disappeared.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I don't know that they did.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Im prove voter fraud more than a disintegrating party.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Well, of course, to protect the host as a part
of my commitment is like my friend, the word voter
fraud of course instantly.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Cause the other guys to say, see that's extremism.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Show me the number of cases that have been prosecuted
as fraud and they are handfuls. Okay, what we're talking
about is we're not denying the fact that those voters
were probably there. The question is you went out, found
them in all kinds of nooks and crannies, registered them,
got their ballots, brought their ballots in all legal.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
By the way.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
But you couldn't do it too elections in a row
because you weren't getting paid to do it, all right,
and so your numbers fell off.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, that's what it's all about. Yeah, the numbers.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
They were there, There were real humans there and they
voted there, but they didn't vote twice.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Hey, I'm Mike Aragon and Samuel Arizona and my morning shows,
Your Morning Show.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
With Michael Derejo Home.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Your Morning show has heard live from five to eight
am Central, six to nine am Eastern, three to six
am Pacific on great radio stations like News Radio eleven
ninety k EX in Portland, News Talk five point fifty
k FYI, and Phoenix Arizona Freedom one oh four seven
in Washington, d C. We'd love to have you join
us live in the morning, even take us along on
the drive to work, but better late than never. Enjoyed
(16:50):
the podcast. Well, the good news is unemployment is staying low.
The bad news is the workforce is shrinking. Why is
that bad? What's causing it? More importantly, how do we
fix it? Money is economist David Bonsen will join us
in thirty minutes. Texas State House reconvened after the protest
Democrats had to return, and the maps have been redrawn.
The bill now hads the GOP controlled state Senate sure
(17:11):
to pass. Around forty million people are under coastal flood alerts.
That's not impacting red at all, he says, It's just
another Thursday.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
The waters looked pretty rough and kitty hawk to me,
but it's a hurricane category two that is about to
shift even further to the east. And I think once
you get North Carolina sticks out a little bit, and
then you get to Virginia, which is in set more.
I think this is probably the only and last impact
Aaron could possibly happen. Two Thursday night football games tonight
(17:41):
to look forward to our visiting with David Zanati. The
New York Times comes out with this piece that the
Democrats are hemorrhaging votes. They make it a voter registration crisis.
We were just kind of kicking around. It may reveal
more about a voter registration shenanigan in COVID, but that aside,
(18:02):
I don't know that it's a voter registration crisis as
much as it is a party platform crisis. This party's
gotten very extreme, very left. It's at war with itself
and it's starting to find itself on strange hills. You're
rooting against peace because you don't want Trump to end
a war. You're rooting against police and safety because you
(18:24):
don't want a victory in blue cities by a red president.
When you go, when you crunch these numbers, your hardest
thing to get your arms around is how they're arriving
at them right accurately.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Yeah, and they're trying to make a summary, composite out
of things that are very fractured in the way that
different states register and record party affiliations and permit voting
in that regard. So they're crunching everything together. The bottom
line is the Democrats are in a downturn in regards
to voter registration and participation.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
But let's stop right there. What would be causing that
they're losing the.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Youthful myriad of issues, right, the least of which Donald
Trump is stomping them. All Right, it's just the trend
has moved away, and it's a response above and beyond
everything else. Excuse me to trying to elect a president
who is non functional physically and the betrayal of COVID.
The trust inside the Democrat brand is bad.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
That's part of it.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Okay, bad presidency and then another bait and switch, even
with Biden to Kamala Harris and just I mean, that's
three presidential primaries in a row. They just threw away
their primary voters' votes.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
The Democrat proposition to America is built upon tribalization and envy.
We'll split everybody up, then we'll convince them that if
you follow us, your group will get the best steal. Well,
after a while, they can't deliver, and so those people go,
why do I trust you?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Well, that was the big thing with the black vote,
that was the big thing with the Hispanic vote. That
they've lost, and then the youth vault can make the
same mistake. And they're struggling on the campus too. Right,
what about the death of journalism in the midst of
all this. In other words, they can't ignore stories anymore,
they can't carry the water and reshape stories anymore. And
the Internet allows everybody to see the truth.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
That brings us to the question that you started all
over this offer. This is what does it mean to
be an American? Who is for America? That's why in
the beginning of our country, George Washington, John Adams and
others stood against factionalism and against trying to run this
country based upon political parties as opposed to principles. Michael,
We've got a video up right now at the Public
(20:30):
Square on YouTube which is an hour long conversation with
William B. Allen about George Washington from Mount Vernon and
his original vision for America. If every American could stop
with one hour and listen to that, watch that video
and listen to the words of George Washington, we have
the answer to your question. Who is for America? That's
(20:52):
the most important question. If we've got to get outside
of our immediate crisis and our immediate personalities and our
immediate fence and ask ourselves what's good for the nation
and the long term.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
If we can't get there, we have no leadership.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
So I don't think Washington would have been in favor
of a two party stranglehold. Clearly, it's period, end of story.
It seems to be dying in the wind. How does
I would say the final straw? This is a shameless
plug for you. I didn't mean to do this, but
(21:29):
here comes what you and your team are trying to
do for this two hundred and fiftieth celebration. In other words,
our country's about to be two hundred and fifty years old.
Where are your eyes going to gaze to the candle,
to the cake, to everybody celebrating, to the person whose
birthday it is. And you want to make this two
hundred and fiftieth birthday about our founding documents, the Decoration
(21:51):
of Independence.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
And read it.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
You know the Left is not going to make that
the focus. They're going to try to hijack the focus.
I think it's the final straw of their death. I
feel it in my bones coming.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
If we return to the first principles upon which this
country were found, that is articulated in the Declaration and
best lived out in the lives of people like Washington
and Amason, particularly George Washington, we've got a shot We've
got a shot at returning of reforming this nation back
to first principles.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
That's the only thing that's going to save us.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
And you know what, in people's hearts all across the board,
I've we spent forty five years on the ground in
this process.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
People know this is true. You didn't.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
There was really just one punch that Joe Fraser would
take you out with, and it was the uppercut. If
you just avoided that, you could survive. I'm telling you
this is not going to be a right versus blue
vision of America two hundred and fifty. It's going to
be a leftist blue of ever view versus an American view.
(22:58):
That's the Trump knockout punch. They don't see coming. How
they handle this two hundred and fiftieth birthday.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Yeah, And I think the best warm up is to
go look at George Washington first, because he supersedes all
this conversation. And again here's a shameless plug, but I'm sorry,
my friend W. B. Allen is the most non partisan
man I know. We've got a beautiful one hour video
right now at the Public Square on YouTube. You can
find it and it's free, and there's no ads, no
hook nothing, Just go listen to somebody who really knows
(23:25):
what they're talking about.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
So bottom line is that the left is rooting for
the left and the right rooting for the right. Who's
rooting for America?
Speaker 5 (23:31):
Yeah, George Washington still is, his testimony still lives.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
And what both parties don't realize, so are a lot
of Americans. Yep, that's the good news. David, appreciate it.
Go listen to that doctor Allen video on George Washington.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I've seen it. It's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
You'll love it. Don't forget the Public Square. You can
also be heard on demand at the Public square dot com. David,
thank you so much for your time.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Thank you much.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Forty two minutes after the hour. If you're just waking up,
where these are your five stories of the day. The
Federal Reserve governor says she will not be bullied by
President Trump no matter how many homes I have.
Speaker 6 (24:08):
Lisa Cook added she has no intention of stepping down
from her position because of some questions raised in a

takes any questions about her financial history seriously and is
gathering accurate information so she can.

want to pick up five seats in the US House.
On Wednesday, the Texas House passed legislation to redraw state maps.
It would give Republicans a chance to pick up five
seats in next year's election. California lawmakers are set to
vote Thursday on whether to put a measure on the

Country superstar Morgan Wallen reportedly will not submit his latest
album for a twenty twenty six Grammy Awards consideration. I'm

of the Billboard chart. Two hundred three of its songs
have hit number one on the Hot country charts. Wallin's
solo works have been nominated have never been nominated for
(26:32):
a Grammy, but he did receive two nominations at this
year's awards for the Post Malone duet. Apparently he's had
enough of waiting for the Grammys to acknowledge. He won't
even enter. The kids are back to school and that
causes a lot of anxiety. Really, I got three that
Eric College. It's created a lot of peace. But for
(26:53):
those of you with the kids back to school having
lots of anxiety, Bree Tenneths is here to tell you
who's suffering.
Speaker 9 (26:58):
Hell's pet nutrients. As animals get depressed when kids go
back to school. They say the change in interaction and
stimulation causes separation, anxiety, and dogs suffer more than cats.
They suggest enriching the environment with interactive toys and puzzles
to prevent boredom, because a board cat or dog can
plot an attack on your stuff and make it look
like an accident. I'm Bree Tennis.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Hits the email thing because the first one is about
boots on the ground. Hit it time for your emails
from Michael d at iHeartMedia dot com.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
You get your try what outlets.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
I love those letters you say.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Oh big finished rights. What comes from Meredith?
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Hey Michael, I keep hearing government officials saying they won't
put boots on the ground in Ukraine, but there are
already boots in the surrounding countries. My son is over
there in Romania. Russia bombing away is really pushing the envelope.
Please let your audience know to pray for soldiers and
surrounding Ukraine. Well, there's two things. Because of the way
(30:59):
you worded it. You know, if there are security guarantees
and they're necessary to get this peace process moving, then
there could be boots on the ground to secure Ukraine.
I don't know that they would be American boots, the
presidents suggesting they wouldn't. If there's any violation and there's
some kind of an Article five protection, it could lead
(31:21):
to that. So some of this is the terms to
end the war, and then the enemy has to say
in future actions. But always there's a lot of moms
and a lot of dads, with a lot of sons
and a lot of daughters serving this country. Please keep
them in their prayers, in your prayers. David writes, congratulations
(31:43):
on I don't write you very often. I wanted to
tell you how grateful I am to have been able
to hear your interview with John Fogerty. I especially need
to get my mind in a place of love today,
and that interview surely did it. Thank you, my brother.
All the best, David, and congratulations on one hundred stations.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Thank you, David.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
This is along the lines of Jeffrey Ay Michael, longtime
Middle Tennessee resident and listener. Just a thought, have products
you endorse? Have the products that you endorse or that
advertise with you on the website.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Is that something you can take care of?
Speaker 2 (32:26):
And by the way, turn your microphone off so I
don't hear myself coming through your headphones.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
You're so loud over there.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
That's why if I was like Telsea Gabbard had to
cut the staff, you'd be first.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
But yeah, we do need to get the.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Your morning show online dot com. We should put the
information from all the endorsed candids and then we would
have to send something to WLAC about the local ones.
Although Scott, at any time you need me, I'm here
to share with you this one I kind of already
did this morning. If you're neither Republican or Democrat, why
do you spend so most of your show saying how
bad the Democrats are and how one orful Trump is? And,
(33:00):
as I answered earlier, because that's how bad the Democrats worldview,
policy views and candidates had become. This is not the
party of JFK. Not that he was loved by Democrats
even then, Michael, just like Michael Jordan, replied about not
supporting Harvey Gant. John Fogerty has recently said it's okay
(33:25):
for conservatives to listen to his music. I love the
seventies music and CCR, even as it protested the Vietnam War.
I learned after buying music and buying tickets to movies, etc.
In my youth that most of the performers love my
hard earned money but hate me politically.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Well, who was it? Was it you or Jeffrey?
Speaker 2 (33:44):
I think it was Red who said if we did that,
all we'd be listening to is village people in Lee Greenwood,
maybe a little kid rock. Michael just wanted to express
my gratitude for your interview today. A lot of good
response on the John Fogerty interview. You missed it, It's
on the podcast and we'll spotlight it again on Friday.
Kathy and Nashville writes, you were talking about this years
(34:06):
ago with the movie The Circle. Yeah, that was when
I was talking about living for likes and then it
becoming a currency and you can't commerce unless you have
enough likes. That was the movie Circle. And there was
also a Black Mirror episode which I was trying to remember.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
That covered that.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Who does your opening song for this show with all
the horns? Oh, now David's gone. That's a band. A
band here in Nashville does a lot of studio recording.
They do all of the band work in Christmas in America.
I don't think they have a name. They're just some
of the best studio and touring musicians in Nashville that
(34:51):
gather once a year to do Christmas in America. And
they did that song for us. Oh There's only time
for one more? Or who do I make it? I'm
listening to you this morning through the podcast and wanted
to chime in. I don't think you read if you
read messing. My daughter in her freshman year at a
public university in the Midwest called me in tears because
(35:14):
the philosophy instructor shamed and ridiculed her for being Catholic
and having beliefs in traditional religion. We were talking about
the how adversarial schools are and it's just not working.
It had worked in the past to socialize in indoctrinate kids.
The kids are putting on a mask, faking it for
(35:36):
the professor, getting the good grade, and moving their very
way on their merry way with their faith and their politics.
Appreciate the emails. Michael de atiheartmedia dot Com love.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Sharing them with you.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael openheld jow Now
Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show can be heard live five to eight
am Central, six to nine Eastern and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio,
or Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and we're grateful you're here. Now, enjoy
the podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
different because we're in this together. This is your morning
show with Michael O'Dell Jordan.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Here we go, Sorry at a quarterback, flashback seven minutes
after the hour.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
There it is seven minutes after the hour.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Thursday, August and twenty first Yeah of Our Lord, twenty
twenty five on the air and streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app. This is the show that belongs to you.
This is your morning show if you're just waking up.
Those Texas Democrats had to come home sooner or later,
and they did. And the Democrats and Republicans in Texas
had passed a plan to redraw the congressional maps. Now
it heads to the GOP controlled Senate where it's sure
(00:59):
to pass. Meanwhile, speaking of passing, around forty million people
are under coastal flood alerts as Aaron a now category
two hurricane turns along the Atlantic coast. Evacuations have been
ordered in parts of North Carolina's outer banks. And we
did have a million dollar winner in Oklahoma and a
million dollar winner in Michigan, two of our Your Morning
(01:19):
Show states, but no big winner. So the powerball jackpot
now jumps to seven hundred million dollars seven and ten
Americans think the spread of false information is a major
threat facing the nation. What are those threats and what
are the other threats that it's listed with? Always on
(01:40):
top of the story is Rory Rory O'Neill joining us.
Good morning, Rory, Hey there, Michael, good morning. Right.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
This few research poll asked Americans what are the top
issues or top threats facing the US today? And as
you said, seventy percent thought the spread of false information
online was the major threat. Terrorism was second. The global
economy came in third, followed by climate change and the
spread of infectious diseases. Now, certain attitudes break down a
(02:08):
bit differently depending on age and party affiliation. You younger
people thought climate change was a bigger issue than older people.
Same goes for Democrats thinking climate change was a greater
threat than conservatives. But we see that older people and
conservatives thought terrorism was the top threat facing America today.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
How do we know that the seven and ten that
responded that fake news or fake false information is a
major threat wasn't false information?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Well there you go aboutely, you know, I can I
I was from pew pep pew pew.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
No, I was gonna say, I'm a little shocked. AI
isn't in there.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
You Well, I think that's I think that would go
in that category of AI generating the false information that there.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, okay, well maybe so, but it didn't. It doesn't
really imply anything else in there that you don't. Nobody
thinks of nuclear exchange, nobody thinks what everybody normally brings up. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
No, Well, it's also generational.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I think, you know, the gen xer is like myself
and older we remember the Cold War days and the
nuclear threat, which isn't something we talk as much about
these days. So perhaps that's that's part of the reflection here.
With younger people taking part in this poll, and since
they spend more of their time online, they probably experienced
this false information more than anyone.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Well, as I mentioned, just moments ago. The Texas Republicans
have got their map redrawn. The Democrats eventually had to
come home. That's been passed. We have the latest on
that Elon Musk when Rory returns in the third hour. Yeah,
we were talking earlier about how whatever happened to Gavin
Newsom's podcast, You could make a case whatever happened to
(03:59):
Elon Musk forming a new party. Apparently he's not so
interested in doing so anymore. Looks like he might be
a much bigger fan of JD Vance than we thought.
Roy'll have that story coming up in the third hour.
We're all just gonna get your emails and sounds the day,
and I got to do emails because they're stacking up,
and I want to give you know, some people prefer
to communicate in writing, so I want to make sure
(04:20):
we get those in today.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
All right.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
David Zannati is our senior contributor, greatly distracted by our
earlier story, trying to figure out where The New York
Times is coming up with these registration numbers and if
he's buying it. Let's start with our first topic. While
you peruse that in your mind, we were just having
I think it was triggered by Steven A.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Smith.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
You know, Steven A. Smith is someone everybody's listening to
right now. Whether that's wise or not, I don't know.
I didn't really watch him for sports, and I'm exposed
more to his politics. But he did make the statement,
and I wonder how it'll be received by Democrats.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Hey, wait a minute, time out, what are you for. Look?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I don't know if Donald Trump's gonna be able to
bring this war to an end with Russia and Ukraine,
but at least he's trying. Can't you give the man
credit for trying? Why is the left on his back?
Why is the left attacking him? Why do we root
against our own president? And I thought to myself, because
we do.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
And I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
The Republicans were much better when Barack Obama was in office,
but in general, hyperpartisans extreme partisanship. If the left is
rooting for the left and the right's always rooting for
the right, Because isn't that how the left got tricked
into this idiotic state they're in. Oh, now we're suddenly
for crime in our cities. Now we're suddenly for human
trafficking and drugs and open borders. Now we're for war
(05:42):
against peace. That's just playing the anti game. So if
the left's only rooting for the left, the right's only
rooting for the right, who's rooting for America?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
David Zanati? I think the people who are paying the bills.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Yeah, they are that are in their cars right now
on their way to work listening to your More show.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
And it's always been that way, Michael. There's so many
themes around the conversation today and they're all very important,
which you're talking abouts for important, but it's amazing to
me and I'm digesting this New York Times article on
I feel badly that I didn't jump this earlier in
the morning, because.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
No, I'm feeling badly you did up caring.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
I was on a number of different things, but this
stuff will be around, so it's okay. I've been looking
at the redistricting situation, which is all really the same conversation,
and you know you're covering all the same stories. The
question becomes the role of the political parties in this country,
and the real question is.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
What are they in the first place.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
If you ask most people to define what do Democrats
stand for and what do Republicans stand for? As far
as a matter of their platform. Historically, tell me, over
the last ten years, what are the policies that you've
seen most emanated from the Democrats and what are the
policies most eminated from the Republicans. You'd get a very
very wide set of answers. In fact, if you ask
(07:06):
some of the most hardcore people who claim to be
one or the other, they might have the least amount
of information available. So the whole concept of what are
we even talking about here is fundamental, So your question
is appropriate, what's partisan, what's for all of us?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
What is America? Or just this whole stupid game.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
This was shortly before I left the Republican Party, where
the whole game was get more rs and ds, but
with the same amount of debt, the same amount of
you know, big government and government growth, the same control
and enslavement of the people.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I mean, I was just like, this is a stupid
game to play.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Well, let me take this one step farther now into
the redistricting situation. I was studying over the evening restrict
redistricting laws in different state constitutions and how they've.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Gotten to where they are.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
This has always been a problem since eld Gary right
in the beginning of the word gerrymandering, because somebody's got
to decide the districts. And the original constitutional mentality on
this was you'd best let the state legislatures decide because
they're closest to the people and they're the ones who
really are the most representative bodies that we can hand
(08:19):
this responsibility to. However, when those elective bodies become fiercely
partisan and factional, now, what is that going to do
to the system. Well, it's going to sway.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
It one way or the other.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
It's an inevitability, there's no it's just look, these things
happen in time, and that's why they're recalibrated every ten
years based on census, and states can do it within
what they can do it more often than that.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
It's always going to be this fight.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
But let's just take one state for example that's now
in this freight. It was Texas and California talking about registricting.
Now Illinois and Ohio are getting involved, and in each
case we're talking about changing congressional seats. In Ohio right
now it's ten to five Republican to Democrat. Well, there's
a new map that's out there that'll make it eight
(09:06):
to seven. That's a big deal. Okay, that's a big deal.
And how what's that based and reflected upon? Well, the
way that it's put together is it's based and reflected
on who voted for who over the last ten years.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
But if we want to do it based on voter.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Registration, what you have is about thirteen percent of the
people are registered as Republicans. And you know how we
know that is because they pull a Republican ballot in
a Republican primary, because you're not required to know how
to declare your party before you vote. About sixteen percent
of the people are registered as Democrats. That is considered
(09:42):
a red state. The rest, the sixty percent are independents.
Where are they represented in the gerry mandarin question? It's
the vast majority. They have zero representation in the process.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I get completely why you would use Ohio to ask
the question, but that's really a question for America. As
America becomes, America has become overwhelmingly more and more independent.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
And you'll know now that the New York Times article
does make one paragraph so far getting through it about
discussion about the question of independence, But what really doesn't
say is what does it mean to be a part
of a political party? If we're going to be honest
about being a part of a political party, do you
go to their meetings? Do you carry a card? Do
you make contributions to that party? How many people right
now in America do those three things of affiliation and participation?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
What do you make a guess just for the fun
of it, one out of ten? Yeah, I'd say ten
percent on both sides. Yeah, both sides.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Yet the media is dominated between that matrix.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
How does that make sense? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:40):
David Sinisar, Senior contributor. He's also the CEO of the
American Policy Roundtable, he presides over I Voters, and he's
co host of The Public Square heard on two inner
stations on demand anytime at the Public Square dot com.
All right, so, in some ways we the people are
less partisan than ever, more independent than ever, But the
(11:03):
parties themselves and the networks that cover them.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
So social media is really going to create these shifts.
The ability to avoid ABCNBCCBS, cable news, maybe even your
local radio station that was ripping reading from the Associated Press.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Now we're all on social media.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Now we're all talking about these things and they just
simply can't get away with it. Wouldn't that impact some
of these numbers? I mean, do you think.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Without a doubt, Michael, You've been talking about it for years,
and what's going to happen is eventually when you talk
about both one or both parties are going to disappear.
The whole process of the deceit of this is what's
going to go bankrupt because finally somebody is going to
admit the fact that, guess what, you can run from
either base right and still get elected, or you can
(11:50):
run from outside the system and still get elected. Donald
Trump registered his papers with the Republicans and then ran
as an independent. And that's how That's what his career
has been about. No one wants to admit it that
he's actually modeling what it looks.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Like to be a free agent.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Although although I would I would beg the question, what
has he done that hasn't been in the Republican Party
platform all along?
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Well, I'd say there's some things he hasn't done at
the level of let's say, he's given the platform lip
service in a number of places, but he hasn't actually
been involved in as far as advocacy goes he's well,
he's come.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
In and out of that platform.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
He's used that platform like has used everything else to
his advantage.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
So Donald Trump's gone. Anybody interested in right Ted Cruz
or some you know, Jeb Bush making a comeback. I mean,
I would make a case the establishment Republican Party outside
on the national level may not ever exist again. And
in essence, at that point, it becomes the first one gone.
(12:54):
Now the Democrat Party, there's a slow depth and then
there's the fight from within to kill it by the communist, socialist,
and Islamist movements within the party by design that make
it look like it will certainly be gone by the
end of the decade.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
And people don't like to hear this because they'd rather hear,
you know, things that make you feel safe. I don't
blame anybody, and I'm sorry for saying it, but when
you have an outsized personality like Donald Trump that's driving
this train, there's going to be a vacuum left unless
Donald Trump plans for that replacement strategy and transfers what
(13:28):
he's got.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
You mean, one must impart before they depart.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
And if they don't, then what you've got is the
gipper handing the ball off to George H. W. Bush,
who drops the ball and welcome to Bill Clinton.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Oh history, ignore it all you want, You're just causing
it to happen again if you do.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
This is your morning show with Michael del Trono.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Visiting with our senior contributor David Zonati and I sniff overtime.
But you know we were heading the break and you
made that comment about the importance of the Trump handoff. Otherwise,
here comes to H. W. Bush, Here comes a Bill Clinton.
The Republicans and I hated it when they did it,
but they absorbed the tea party movement and the priority
of lowering the debt with it. They haven't absorbed trump Ism.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
That's a big difference, Yeah, because they can't keep up
with that personality. He works too hard for all of them, right,
and that's a big part of it is who's willing
to work hard?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
All right, Let's go through this New York Times story.
So basically what the New York Times is showing, and
again it's coming from the New York Times, So that
makes me smell it, almost smell a rat. They might
be wanting to get people to think about something that
isn't so because this is a very devastating view of
the Democrat Party by in the back pocket of the
Democrat Party a newspaper, but it says the party's hemorrhaging voters,
(14:50):
and it's looking at twenty twenty to twenty four and
losing an essence four point five million voters. At the
same time in the other states where you don't have
to clear your party affiliation, the Republicans, they've lost two
point one million, and the Republicans have gained another two
point four in the twenty states that don't count. So
(15:10):
it's it's about a it's a seven million swing. Well,
I go back to that number where we're singling out
between twenty twenty and twenty twenty four. My guess is
all the fake ballots you harvested in twenty twenty with
your COVID shenanigans is what disappeared.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I don't know that they did.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Im prove voter fraud more than a disintegrating party.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Well, of course, to protect the host as a part
of my commitment is like my friend, the word voter
fraud of course instantly.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Cause the other guys to say, see that's extremism.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Show me the number of cases that have been prosecuted
as fraud and they are handfuls. Okay, what we're talking
about is we're not denying the fact that those voters
were probably there. The question is you went out, found
them in all kinds of nooks and crannies, registered them,
got their ballots, brought their ballots in all legal.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
By the way.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
But you couldn't do it too elections in a row
because you weren't getting paid to do it, all right,
and so your numbers fell off.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, that's what it's all about. Yeah, the numbers.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
They were there, There were real humans there and they
voted there, but they didn't vote twice.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Hey, I'm Mike Aragon and Samuel Arizona and my morning shows,
Your Morning Show.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
With Michael Derejo Home.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Your Morning show has heard live from five to eight
am Central, six to nine am Eastern, three to six
am Pacific on great radio stations like News Radio eleven
ninety k EX in Portland, News Talk five point fifty
k FYI, and Phoenix Arizona Freedom one oh four seven
in Washington, d C. We'd love to have you join
us live in the morning, even take us along on
the drive to work, but better late than never. Enjoyed
(16:50):
the podcast. Well, the good news is unemployment is staying low.
The bad news is the workforce is shrinking. Why is
that bad? What's causing it? More importantly, how do we
fix it? Money is economist David Bonsen will join us
in thirty minutes. Texas State House reconvened after the protest
Democrats had to return, and the maps have been redrawn.
The bill now hads the GOP controlled state Senate sure
(17:11):
to pass. Around forty million people are under coastal flood alerts.
That's not impacting red at all, he says, It's just
another Thursday.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
The waters looked pretty rough and kitty hawk to me,
but it's a hurricane category two that is about to
shift even further to the east. And I think once
you get North Carolina sticks out a little bit, and
then you get to Virginia, which is in set more.
I think this is probably the only and last impact
Aaron could possibly happen. Two Thursday night football games tonight
(17:41):
to look forward to our visiting with David Zanati. The
New York Times comes out with this piece that the
Democrats are hemorrhaging votes. They make it a voter registration crisis.
We were just kind of kicking around. It may reveal
more about a voter registration shenanigan in COVID, but that aside,
(18:02):
I don't know that it's a voter registration crisis as
much as it is a party platform crisis. This party's
gotten very extreme, very left. It's at war with itself
and it's starting to find itself on strange hills. You're
rooting against peace because you don't want Trump to end
a war. You're rooting against police and safety because you
(18:24):
don't want a victory in blue cities by a red president.
When you go, when you crunch these numbers, your hardest
thing to get your arms around is how they're arriving
at them right accurately.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Yeah, and they're trying to make a summary, composite out
of things that are very fractured in the way that
different states register and record party affiliations and permit voting
in that regard. So they're crunching everything together. The bottom
line is the Democrats are in a downturn in regards
to voter registration and participation.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
But let's stop right there. What would be causing that
they're losing the.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Youthful myriad of issues, right, the least of which Donald
Trump is stomping them. All Right, it's just the trend
has moved away, and it's a response above and beyond
everything else. Excuse me to trying to elect a president
who is non functional physically and the betrayal of COVID.
The trust inside the Democrat brand is bad.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
That's part of it.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Okay, bad presidency and then another bait and switch, even
with Biden to Kamala Harris and just I mean, that's
three presidential primaries in a row. They just threw away
their primary voters' votes.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
The Democrat proposition to America is built upon tribalization and envy.
We'll split everybody up, then we'll convince them that if
you follow us, your group will get the best steal. Well,
after a while, they can't deliver, and so those people go,
why do I trust you?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Well, that was the big thing with the black vote,
that was the big thing with the Hispanic vote. That
they've lost, and then the youth vault can make the
same mistake. And they're struggling on the campus too. Right,
what about the death of journalism in the midst of
all this. In other words, they can't ignore stories anymore,
they can't carry the water and reshape stories anymore. And
the Internet allows everybody to see the truth.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
That brings us to the question that you started all
over this offer. This is what does it mean to
be an American? Who is for America? That's why in
the beginning of our country, George Washington, John Adams and
others stood against factionalism and against trying to run this
country based upon political parties as opposed to principles. Michael,
We've got a video up right now at the Public
(20:30):
Square on YouTube which is an hour long conversation with
William B. Allen about George Washington from Mount Vernon and
his original vision for America. If every American could stop
with one hour and listen to that, watch that video
and listen to the words of George Washington, we have
the answer to your question. Who is for America? That's
(20:52):
the most important question. If we've got to get outside
of our immediate crisis and our immediate personalities and our
immediate fence and ask ourselves what's good for the nation
and the long term.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
If we can't get there, we have no leadership.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
So I don't think Washington would have been in favor
of a two party stranglehold. Clearly, it's period, end of story.
It seems to be dying in the wind. How does
I would say the final straw? This is a shameless
plug for you. I didn't mean to do this, but
(21:29):
here comes what you and your team are trying to
do for this two hundred and fiftieth celebration. In other words,
our country's about to be two hundred and fifty years old.
Where are your eyes going to gaze to the candle,
to the cake, to everybody celebrating, to the person whose
birthday it is. And you want to make this two
hundred and fiftieth birthday about our founding documents, the Decoration
(21:51):
of Independence.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
And read it.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
You know the Left is not going to make that
the focus. They're going to try to hijack the focus.
I think it's the final straw of their death. I
feel it in my bones coming.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
If we return to the first principles upon which this
country were found, that is articulated in the Declaration and
best lived out in the lives of people like Washington
and Amason, particularly George Washington, we've got a shot We've
got a shot at returning of reforming this nation back
to first principles.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
That's the only thing that's going to save us.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
And you know what, in people's hearts all across the board,
I've we spent forty five years on the ground in
this process.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
People know this is true. You didn't.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
There was really just one punch that Joe Fraser would
take you out with, and it was the uppercut. If
you just avoided that, you could survive. I'm telling you
this is not going to be a right versus blue
vision of America two hundred and fifty. It's going to
be a leftist blue of ever view versus an American view.
(22:58):
That's the Trump knockout punch. They don't see coming. How
they handle this two hundred and fiftieth birthday.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Yeah, And I think the best warm up is to
go look at George Washington first, because he supersedes all
this conversation. And again here's a shameless plug, but I'm sorry,
my friend W. B. Allen is the most non partisan
man I know. We've got a beautiful one hour video
right now at the Public Square on YouTube. You can
find it and it's free, and there's no ads, no
hook nothing, Just go listen to somebody who really knows
(23:25):
what they're talking about.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
So bottom line is that the left is rooting for
the left and the right rooting for the right. Who's
rooting for America?
Speaker 5 (23:31):
Yeah, George Washington still is, his testimony still lives.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
And what both parties don't realize, so are a lot
of Americans. Yep, that's the good news. David, appreciate it.
Go listen to that doctor Allen video on George Washington.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I've seen it. It's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
You'll love it. Don't forget the Public Square. You can
also be heard on demand at the Public square dot com. David,
thank you so much for your time.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Thank you much.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Forty two minutes after the hour. If you're just waking up,
where these are your five stories of the day. The
Federal Reserve governor says she will not be bullied by
President Trump no matter how many homes I have.
Speaker 6 (24:08):
Lisa Cook added she has no intention of stepping down
from her position because of some questions raised in a
tweet Trump posted on truth Social that Cook must resign now.
Who came after the Federal Housing Finance Agency director William
Poulte alleged the Cook committed mortgage fraud. Cook says she
takes any questions about her financial history seriously and is
gathering accurate information so she can.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Provide the facts. I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
The California Supreme Court has rejected a Republican effort to
stop Governor Newsom's redistricting plan.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Tammy Trejillo as more.
Speaker 7 (24:38):
GOP lawmakers at father the petition trying to stop Newsom
and other Democrats from redrawing the state's congressional districts. Democrats
want to pick up five seats in the US House.
On Wednesday, the Texas House passed legislation to redraw state maps.
It would give Republicans a chance to pick up five
seats in next year's election. California lawmakers are set to
vote Thursday on whether to put a measure on the
(24:58):
ballot that would approve the state's new co congressional map.
On Tammage, Rheo.

Country superstar Morgan Wallen reportedly will not submit his latest
album for a twenty twenty six Grammy Awards consideration. I'm
the Problem has spent eleven non consecutive weeks on top
of the Billboard chart. Two hundred three of its songs
have hit number one on the Hot country charts. Wallin's
solo works have been nominated have never been nominated for
(26:32):
a Grammy, but he did receive two nominations at this
year's awards for the Post Malone duet. Apparently he's had
enough of waiting for the Grammys to acknowledge. He won't
even enter. The kids are back to school and that
causes a lot of anxiety. Really, I got three that
Eric College. It's created a lot of peace. But for
(26:53):
those of you with the kids back to school having
lots of anxiety, Bree Tenneths is here to tell you
who's suffering.
Speaker 9 (26:58):
Hell's pet nutrients. As animals get depressed when kids go
back to school. They say the change in interaction and
stimulation causes separation, anxiety, and dogs suffer more than cats.
They suggest enriching the environment with interactive toys and puzzles
to prevent boredom, because a board cat or dog can
plot an attack on your stuff and make it look
like an accident. I'm Bree Tennis.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
It's sports. We got two Thursday night football.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
You get your try what outlets.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
I love those letters you say.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Oh big finished rights. What comes from Meredith?
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Hey Michael, I keep hearing government officials saying they won't
put boots on the ground in Ukraine, but there are
already boots in the surrounding countries. My son is over
there in Romania. Russia bombing away is really pushing the envelope.
Please let your audience know to pray for soldiers and
surrounding Ukraine. Well, there's two things. Because of the way
(30:59):
you worded it. You know, if there are security guarantees
and they're necessary to get this peace process moving, then
there could be boots on the ground to secure Ukraine.
I don't know that they would be American boots, the
presidents suggesting they wouldn't. If there's any violation and there's
some kind of an Article five protection, it could lead
(31:21):
to that. So some of this is the terms to
end the war, and then the enemy has to say
in future actions. But always there's a lot of moms
and a lot of dads, with a lot of sons
and a lot of daughters serving this country. Please keep
them in their prayers, in your prayers. David writes, congratulations
(31:43):
on I don't write you very often. I wanted to
tell you how grateful I am to have been able
to hear your interview with John Fogerty. I especially need
to get my mind in a place of love today,
and that interview surely did it. Thank you, my brother.
All the best, David, and congratulations on one hundred stations.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Thank you, David.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
This is along the lines of Jeffrey Ay Michael, longtime
Middle Tennessee resident and listener. Just a thought, have products
you endorse? Have the products that you endorse or that
advertise with you on the website.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Is that something you can take care of?
Speaker 2 (32:26):
And by the way, turn your microphone off so I
don't hear myself coming through your headphones.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
You're so loud over there.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
That's why if I was like Telsea Gabbard had to
cut the staff, you'd be first.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
But yeah, we do need to get the.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Your morning show online dot com. We should put the
information from all the endorsed candids and then we would
have to send something to WLAC about the local ones.
Although Scott, at any time you need me, I'm here
to share with you this one I kind of already
did this morning. If you're neither Republican or Democrat, why
do you spend so most of your show saying how
bad the Democrats are and how one orful Trump is? And,
(33:00):
as I answered earlier, because that's how bad the Democrats worldview,
policy views and candidates had become. This is not the
party of JFK. Not that he was loved by Democrats
even then, Michael, just like Michael Jordan, replied about not
supporting Harvey Gant. John Fogerty has recently said it's okay
(33:25):
for conservatives to listen to his music. I love the
seventies music and CCR, even as it protested the Vietnam War.
I learned after buying music and buying tickets to movies, etc.
In my youth that most of the performers love my
hard earned money but hate me politically.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Well, who was it? Was it you or Jeffrey?
Speaker 2 (33:44):
I think it was Red who said if we did that,
all we'd be listening to is village people in Lee Greenwood,
maybe a little kid rock. Michael just wanted to express
my gratitude for your interview today. A lot of good
response on the John Fogerty interview. You missed it, It's
on the podcast and we'll spotlight it again on Friday.
Kathy and Nashville writes, you were talking about this years
(34:06):
ago with the movie The Circle. Yeah, that was when
I was talking about living for likes and then it
becoming a currency and you can't commerce unless you have
enough likes. That was the movie Circle. And there was
also a Black Mirror episode which I was trying to remember.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
That covered that.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Who does your opening song for this show with all
the horns? Oh, now David's gone. That's a band. A
band here in Nashville does a lot of studio recording.
They do all of the band work in Christmas in America.
I don't think they have a name. They're just some
of the best studio and touring musicians in Nashville that
(34:51):
gather once a year to do Christmas in America. And
they did that song for us. Oh There's only time
for one more? Or who do I make it? I'm
listening to you this morning through the podcast and wanted
to chime in. I don't think you read if you
read messing. My daughter in her freshman year at a
public university in the Midwest called me in tears because
(35:14):
the philosophy instructor shamed and ridiculed her for being Catholic
and having beliefs in traditional religion. We were talking about
the how adversarial schools are and it's just not working.
It had worked in the past to socialize in indoctrinate kids.
The kids are putting on a mask, faking it for
(35:36):
the professor, getting the good grade, and moving their very
way on their merry way with their faith and their politics.
Appreciate the emails. Michael de atiheartmedia dot Com love.
