Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show has heard on
great radio stations across the country like one oh five,
nine twelve fifty w HNZ and Tampa, Florida, News Radio
five seventy wkb N and Youngstown, Ohio and News Radio
one thousand KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you
listen to us live in the morning, and of course
we're so grateful you came for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Enjoy well two three, starting your morning off right, A
new way of talk, a new way of understanding because
we're in the stupid This is your morning show with Michael.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Bel Charman, Mike mccamb. We got seven minutes after the hour.
Go morning, and welcome to Tuesday, August the twenty sixth.
One chance to this day, one chance to understand it together.
Thanks for waking up with your morning show. Well, it's
been twelve days since President Trump's deployment of federal troops
in our nation's capital, and the murder rate has gone
to zero. No murders in twelve days, the average normally
(01:00):
for a day. President Trump says he's removing Federal Reserve
Governor Lisa Cook from her position, but does he have
the legal authority to do so nobody can get the
powerball jackpot. No grand prize rollover goes to eight hundred
and fifteen million dollars. And when it comes to the
peace talks, conflicting signals from Russia. Is the Ukraine War
(01:21):
close standing or is it only talk and the Russian
ministers seem to be speaking for themselves or poutin but
sending conflicting signals. Attend of Colonel James Carafano's back in
the country and with us. You know how whenever you
disappear and travel the world, we'd like to guess where
you've been. Red's going with Belarus. I went with Budapest, Hungary,
(01:45):
and Jeffrey had no guess. Jeffrey I didn't really have
a guess. Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe, Okay, who was closest?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
You guys were so c You know, there's this game,
you know, world where you like get outline of a country.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, my White Plas.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Yeah. So it was in Australia.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Oh, he was down under. Wait, are you sure that
went a vacation.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
No, it was definitely not a vacation.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
And we could fill up the hour of your show
just talking about the flights getting there and the flights
getting back.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Oh yeah, that's that's more than I'm willing to fly. Well,
you are back, all right. So these conflicting signals from
the foreign ministers and military ministers, you know, very pessimistic
about anything, and the bombing would suggest that. And the
fact that no meeting has been planned between Putin and
Zelensky all kind of discouraging signs.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Well, so, yeah, I think that's right. On the other hand,
this is Plutin. He could just walk in tomorrow and
say let's make a deal, which he might. This gets
to the essence of strategy, which which I believe nobody
understands better than Donald Trump, and that is when you
(02:59):
were fighting an enemy or competing or whatever, and you
don't know what move they're going to make, you have
to make the move that protects and forward your interest
regardless of what they do. And I think Trump has
done that actually pretty effectively, where he has set up
(03:24):
a structure to protect American interests regardless of what Pat
Putin chooses.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
And I think he's brought the American people along.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
And demonstrated that in a risk and form way that
the United States can protect our interests of a NATO
that is holding a peace and a free and independent
Ukraine without significantly creating a serious risk for the US
or disrupting our efforts in other parts of the world.
(03:58):
So I think he's put the US in a good place.
I think doesn't have a lot of options.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yeah, let's I'm gonna use corporate speak here. Let's unpack
that a little bit. First thing was the mineral rights,
which gave us an interest in Ukraine and a physical presence.
I think what everybody was remember when the left media
was saying, oh, he's anti NATO. Oh no, he got
NATO to come to the table, pay more or NATO's
(04:24):
more united. That was evident as the president emerged as
a leader of the free world, conducting business with all
the European leaders at the White House. Some massive optic
leadership moments for the president. But he's got a united
NATO spending more, ready to defend more because it really
is a threat against them. First, he's kind of isolated
(04:46):
them so he can clamp down with penalties and restrictions.
The India thing's problematic because if they buy oil and
then you want to penalize them with tariffs, well, China's
going to buy oil and you don't have a China
deal yet, do we really want to go there? That
one I think is kind of counter But yeah, he's
made some pretty strong moves. I mean, there's no winning
this war.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
And I know some people say just put the hammer
down now, which I got to be honest, it's my
instinct that if you want to get the Russians attention,
the more pressure that you put on them, the more
likely is that they're going to respond to it. But
I understand the flip side of this was when you
pull that trigger on more extreme sanctions, you can only
(05:28):
do it once and it does create kind of rippling
effects on dealing with other countries, including India and some
other countries. So I trust the President to pull that
pin at the right time if he needs to. But
particularly on the arms thing, which pointed out not only
that we created a structure where the Europeans are largely
(05:51):
funding the US arms purchases for Iran, which is for
a run for Ukraine, which is not only good for Ukraine,
it shows that the Europeans have a dog in the
fight and they're willing to.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Commit to the support for what things that are in
their interest.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
But the other thing is is in the end, this
is helping the US industrial base, where we're really maximizing
demand on the US industrial base to build up production,
which really increases and makes us a much more robust
industrial base, which is going to suit us better in
the future.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
So I would I have played it exactly like the president.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
No.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Do I think he's played it played it well? Yes.
Do I think he's protected American interests?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Do I think Russia is in a tough, bad place, Yes?
And I think the thing I've learned most about Donald
Trump is this great humanity that it's not just about
protecting interests in all everything else with war should stop
because some people don't need to die in a war
that's going nowhere. And God bless them for having that
(07:00):
and that humanity in him, which I think is so often.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Ignored and denied.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
And and the the reality is, it's funny, you said,
because this is the one thing I really learned in Asia,
where they don't know how.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
To deal with Donald Trump at all, I said, And.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I said, you guys are so far behind the Europeans.
The Europeans know how to work with Donald Trump. They've
demonstrated that they have great confidence in that effort. Every
Europeans leader today has a successful relationship with Donald Trump,
except the liar, like the true ideologice like Sanchez in Spain,
but almost everybody else, almost to a person, actually not
only has a pragmatic relationship with Donald Trump, but they
(07:35):
realized that they are doing good things for Europe by
working with Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafinal joining us from the Heritage Foundation,
one of the largest thing tanks in the world. He
joins us every Tuesday to give us our military and
foreign policy briefing. I'll tell you what I like. Anybody
can write and I'm going to get to the strangeness
of this here in a second. But anybody can just
write big checks and be taken advantage of and and
let people die and let money be spent, and you know,
(08:03):
like the previous administration was doing. And then everybody perceived that,
you know, it was necessary for Trump to support Ukraine. Well,
not only has he supported Ukraine, He's now taken the
leadership position in this entire war. We've got more you know,
we're getting money back for all our investment in minerals.
He's got NATO paying more of their fair share and
(08:26):
he's taking the leadership role not only in negotiating the
out negotiating the outcome of the war one way or
the other, but being instrumental in bringing peace. But now
the Democrats at home, and it's silly and it's really
not even worth our time. But it's as if they've shifted, Oh,
don't lead the world and don't support Ukraine this way.
(08:48):
Now they're suddenly four more. So we have this new
Rasmussen poll. Forty two percent of likely voters believe Trump's
recent meetings made a piece more likely, thirty eight percent
think it made the deal less likely. And it falls
completely under a partisan lines. Seventy two percent of Republicans
consider the meeting successful, thirty one percent of Democrats. This
is just so silly, it is, but this is what
(09:12):
American politics at home have become. I guess suddenly now, well,
if Trump's for Ukraine, we can't be. If Trump's for pace,
we got to be for war. It's insane, it is crazy,
but you gotta try, right, at least give them an
a plus for trying.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
No, Look, I think I think eighty percent of Americans
are with Donald Trump on this and most issues. And
you know, increasingly, we have so many, many more of
these eighty twenty eight issues where where the left just
clutches their pearls on the twenty and just digs or
(09:51):
heels in on issues that if you took out you know,
in the old days, when McCain and Obama ran for pressed,
I used to play a game with people. I used
to give them a quote and I said, who said this?
And on so many issues, mccainan Obama's not identical, right,
you couldn't tell the difference.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
And on so many of his issues.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
If we could strip out Trump and Republican and Democrat
and you just objectively had a flat neutral statement about
good idea, bad idea, it wouldn't be eighty you know,
you wouldn't have this divide Republican Democrat.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Everybody would say, well, of course that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But what's the bottom line. Bottom line is this war
has to end because it can't be won now. When
it happens, and how long it drags out, that could
be problematic, And maybe Putin knows it because China's gonna
buy oil, and if you don't tear off China and
you did tariff India, that's inconsistent and if you teariff
China for buying you know, energy from they're gonna you're
(10:52):
never gonna get your tariff deal. And that's where most
of the imports are coming from. This could get problematic
quick well.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
And I am in the camp that.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Even with massive sanctions, which I don't have a problem with,
and I think India, we could make India hole and
energy an alternative energy sources.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
The even nothing can force Putin.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
To stop fighting except Putin the enemy has right and
and and when people say, well, what's the what's his endgame?
And and my answer is I don't know, and I
don't trust anybody.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
That says he does. You know, does you believe the
generals who say.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
We can win this war and three months just play,
you know, just kind of drag it out. Is he
just playing rope it up because he doesn't want what
he wants to do?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Is he?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Or is he just holding out for the you know,
the best deal that he thinks he can get.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
I don't know, and I don't believe anybody that says
that they do know. And so my answer is is
the war can only end when Putin stops it. Our
goal is to make sure that NATO is whole, that
the that there's a free and independent Ukraine. Trump's figure
that out regardless of what Putin does.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
So I'm a happy.
Speaker 1 (12:03):

This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
And executive order signed by President Trump will a stablish
specialized units in the National Guard. Roy O'Neal reports.
Speaker 8 (14:05):
The Defense Department is now under orders to create Guard
units specifically trained to tame civil unrest. Monday's order comes
as the President considers deploying Guard troops to cities like
Chicago and Baltimore as part of a crackdown on crime.
President Trump declared an emergency in Washington and used his
authority to take over the police there temporarily. Some local
(14:26):
leaders are pushing back, saying the president doesn't have the
same authority in their communities.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I'm Rory O'Neill, and he doesn't. But he's shown them
the way to law and order, that's for sure, and
the local voters should demand better of their municipalities.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Well.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Monday marked twelve days since President Trump's deployment of federal
troops in this nation's capital of Washington, d C. It
also marked twelve days without a single murder.
Speaker 9 (14:51):
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller praised the
efforts on Fox News Monday.
Speaker 10 (14:56):
President Trump has literally set the people of Washington, DC
that's free. They're so happy now that they can just
go out and live their lives. Go to the favorite restaurant,
go to the favorite bar, go to the favorite pool hall,
go to the favorite park.
Speaker 9 (15:08):
DC police told The Washington Post in March that the
nation's capital went sixteen days without a murder, calling it
the longest period in at least six years. Meanwhile, the
DC Police Union is touting an overall drop in crime
since the arrival of the National Guard compared to the
fourteen days prior to the federal control. It says robbery's
down forty two percent, in violent crime down twenty five percent.
(15:28):
I'm tammy for he.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Oh, well, that's DC under Trump. They're going a different direction.
In New York City, police have a critical.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Role to play for right now.
Speaker 9 (15:37):
We're relying on them to deal with the failures of
our social safety net, which is preventing them from doing.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Their actual jobs. They're actual Jobsavonnor, new York City mayoral
front runners Zoron mom Donnie, wants to stop the enforcement
of all misdemeanor offenses. The Queen's assemblyman has campaigned on
the need for police to stop honing in on lower
level crimes lower the beholder, of course, like shoplifting, assault
without weapon, or drug possession. The New York Post reports
(16:03):
mom Donnie is backed by the Democrats Socialists of America,
which calls detention and policing instruments of class war rapper
Little nas X is officially facing four felony charges I
got the horses in the bag Horse Dockey.
Speaker 11 (16:21):
On Monday, the Grammy Award winning artist pleaded not guilty
to all of those charges. Lil naz X, whose real
name is Montero Lamar Hill, is accused of assaulting LAPD
officers as they tried to arrest him in Studio City
last Thursday morning. Prosecutors say he injured at least three
of the officers. A video taken by a witness before
the arrest shows Hill strutting down the street and only
his underwear and cowboy boots while singing and dancing. He
(16:43):
could face up to five years in state prison if
he's convicted as charged.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
I'm Daniel Martindale.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yo. Hi, everybody, this is Dion the Wanderer.
Speaker 12 (16:54):
My morning show is your morning show with Michael del
and all.
Speaker 5 (17:07):

but we're happy you're here. Now. Enjoy the podcast well,
it's been twelve days since the president sent federal troops
into the nation's capital, and it's been twelve days without
a murder. Powerball jackpot no winner again, rolling over jackpot
(17:31):
jumps to a staggering eight hundred and fifteen million today,
and parts of the Southwest are bracing for flooding. Heavy
rain expected to push through the area this week. And
at thirty six minutes after the hour, the always revealing,
often entertaining Sounds of the Day begins. Now she's gonna
get smoked.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
He's got too stopped.
Speaker 12 (17:50):
I really don't know what he said at the end
of this, and I don't think he knows what he
said even.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
It's got to be a big misunderstanding.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
Don't be tight.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
How do you like my garb loved it? I loved
it all right. Let's start with the DNC. They were
having their annual summer meeting. This is a party at
war with itself. This is a party that seems to
be split on every issue. But fear not, they are
united on one single issue. And to reveal what that
issue or derangement is, here's their chairman, Ken Martin.
Speaker 13 (18:25):
We are all unified towards one single goal. To stop
Donald Trump and put this country back on track.
Speaker 14 (18:34):
Yes, yes we have differences of opinion. Yes we're a
big tent party. Yes we don't agree on everything. But
that's a beauty of this Democratic Party. We are still
unified despite our differences.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
You know what the beautiful part of that is. And
I don't know who gets credit for this, but there's
an old saying, if you don't stand for something, you'll
fall for anything. That's kind of what they've fallen victim to.
So their sole focus is their Trump derangement. That's why
if Trump is for peace, you got to be for war.
(19:10):
If Trump is for no murders and no crime in DC,
you got to be for rape, murder and crime. It's insane.
Unfortunately for the Democrats, Ken had more to say.
Speaker 13 (19:29):
Ten billion dollars, that's how much was spent in twenty
four ten billion dollars just on our side, and yet
here we are no majorities.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
I get it. People are pissed off. I'm pissed off,
and I.
Speaker 13 (19:47):
Say, if you're not pissed off, then we have a
much bigger problem, right And sure, look, we can point
fingers and cast blame until we're blue in the face.
But will that help us win in New Jersey Bridge Pennsylvania.
Will that allow us to stop Trump from corrupting the
midterms with his redistricting power grab?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
No way.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
So again, let's win the election, not the argument.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I get emails every now and then you claim you're
not Republican or Democratic. You're always picking on the Democrats.
There's a lot to pick on. This is a party
fighting for its life. You've got the socialist Democrat movement,
You've got the emerging Islamist movement, you have the progressive movement.
(20:41):
And there's no such thing as Reagan Democrats. There's no
such thing as establishment Democrats anymore. It is completely divided.
They have had to fix their last four presidential primaries.
And got away with it with Hillary, got away with
it with Joe. They didn't get away with it when
(21:02):
they finally shuffled Joe off the stage and handed all
of his delegates to Kamala and never gave Democrat voters
to say. And now they're basically looking at you in
the eye and telling you the only thing that we
stand for, never mind open borders, because secured borders we
(21:22):
can't be for. That's Trump War, because we can't be
for peace. Trump's for peace, crime in our streets, and
murder because we can't be for law and order. That's Trump.
They don't want to get into any of that. And
nobody cares about global warming and other than that, that
(21:43):
just leaves killing babies. So all they stand for is
their deranged, obsessed hatred of Donald Trump. No wonder they're
falling for all of this, including coach Timmy that.
Speaker 13 (22:00):
Finds the need to talk about, Oh, there's a division in.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
The Democratic Party.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
There's a division in my damn house.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
And we're still married and things are good. That's lie.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
That's lie.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
By the way, you heard Ken Martin bringing up New
Jersey in Virginia. New Jersey looks like this is going
to be they're going to lose that state because of
the loss of the Hispanic voting block, the black vote
in Virginia. That's now it's tightened up to a single
digit to Harriett and we go and are we making
(22:43):
too much or not enough of the party registration gap?
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Hey, look, the Democratic brand right now has about the
appeal with the American voter as the cracker barrel rebrand
has with the American consumers.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Bad, bad, bad, What are you doing.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Oh my goodness, gracious, what do we tak talking about
here in terms of big party registration changes in the
key swing states. Let's look at the key for swing
states that in fact do keep tract of registration by party. Look,
the Republican Party is in their best position at this
point in the cycle since at least two thousand and five,
and all four of these key battleground states. We go
out to the southwest, Arizona, how about Nevada, Republicans haven't
(23:22):
done this well since two thousand and five. Oh, my goodness,
gration at this point of cycle. North Carolina. I couldn't
find the point at which Republicans were doing better at
this point in the cycle. It's at least this century.
It probably goes way back in the last century. And
Pennsylvania very similar. Republicans doing better at this point than
at any point at any point this century, at least
(23:43):
as far as I could find. Now, what types of
gains are we talking about here for the Republican Party, Well,
let's compare it to this point during their first Trump administration,
all the way back in twenty seventeen. Look at this
the Republican Party gains and party registration compared to this
point back in twenty seventeen during the Trump firstdministration. In Arizona,
you got a Republican gain.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Of three points.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Okay, how about Nevada up the hill we go, even
though we're sticking in the Southwest, a gain of six points.
How about again we come to the east coast, North Carolina,
a gain of eight points for the Republicans. And in
the Keystone State, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, again we're
talking about a gain of eight points. My goodness, gracious
for Republicans. They are converting old former Democrats to their
(24:25):
side of the ledger as well as picking up new
voters regis.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
So how is this, Oh, don't pivot towards the American
people on these issues. Fight, fight, fight, and go further left.
As bad as that picture looks now over the next year,
if they continue with this, let's go further left. I
suspect those numbers get even worse. Now.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Of course, Donald Trump has been president since January. Are
there any bright spots for Democrats?
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Have they picked up.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Any ground since January one in terms of party registration?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (24:58):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (24:59):
None?
Speaker 4 (24:59):
These Keith, these key swing states, these four key swing states.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
What are we talking about?
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Party registration margin gains since January one, twenty twenty five.
Which party's gain in Arizona? The GOP? How about Nevada?
The GOPY? North Carolina? The GOP? How out in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
We'll make it four for four. The GOP tired of
winning yet? The President from the Oval Office addressed eleven
days now twelve no murders And in.
Speaker 12 (25:27):
The last eleven days again, I hate to say it
because it sounds so ridiculous, but in the last eleven days, we've.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Had no murders.
Speaker 12 (25:35):
And that's the first time that's taken place in.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Years, actually years. We always have a murder a week,
they go it a murder a week.
Speaker 12 (25:43):
You come here from Iowa, you come here from Indiana,
you come here from Idaho, because you're so proud of
your country, you love your country. And then you get murdered.
Your son gets murdered, you do it, or gets murdered.
You get murdered, see the media, you get murdered. Many
of you have been mugged in Washington. You just don't
want to talk about it. And I know that every
time I do this with you, you almost everything.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
But every time I do this.
Speaker 12 (26:06):
With you people to say to yourselves, he's right, he's right,
and then you write a negative So.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Hmmm, boy, does that nail it. So now suddenly the
Democrats have to be for crime and it's insane. Here
comes Sarah Hukabe Sanders with more on that.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
It's absolutely crazy that they wouldn't be thanking Donald Trump
for helping them fix their cities. One of the big
reasons that Donald Trump is president is because people want
to feel safe in their communities. They want the border to.
Speaker 9 (26:42):
Be shut down.
Speaker 6 (26:43):
They don't want drugs and lawlessness taking over our country.
And it's one of the big things that propelled him
back into the White House because they know he's a
president who's going to bring law in order. He's going
to back up our law enforcement. He's going to make
people feel safe and secure again. And that's exactly what
he's delivering on. I think that Democrat mayors and governors
(27:04):
need to be thanking him and begging him to come
to their cities.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Right they can't because the only thing they stand for
is being anti Trump. That has even a Democrat strategist
thinking it's insane.
Speaker 15 (27:18):
Laura, you said, it's the definition of insanity. You just
keep doing the same thing over and over again. And
as a Democrat, it's maddening that we're still not serious.
Like you said, we haven't lost four and a half
million voters, nor is our brand at a historic low
because we don't fight hard enough. It's because we remain
completely culturally disconnected and we have absolutely no agenda. You
said earlier in your monologue, Trump's trying to solve problems.
(27:40):
We always offered to three p's the personal attacks, which
you just heard. He's a dictator and authoritative. We argue process, Oh,
we shouldn't do this, he's violating customs and norms. Or
it's the press, right, it's their job to do it.
And then on the cultural issues, we literally have think
tanks putting memos out that you know, these are the
words you're not supposed to say. Hey, you add it
all up, and we're not in good shape.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
I said, one or both parties will be gone by
the end of the decade. There's no question you're witnessing
the death of the Democrat Party. And if you don't
stand for something, you'll fall for anything. And they're falling
for all the fringe je.
Speaker 10 (28:22):
All people who majored inn online activision with a minor
and puberty Bob a little bit beat.
Speaker 9 (28:29):
Any of you in the media clearly missed the art
of the deal.

Speaker 7 (30:00):
It's your morning show with Michael del Journal.
Speaker 16 (30:04):
I am giving a kudos to Jeffrey in the music
bumps that he plays in and out of your program.
We must be a kindred soul because getting ready in
the morning, I just love to hear the music as.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Well as the commentary. Keep doing what you're doing, guys. Gee,
I wonder how that talkback made it on the air. Oh,
you do great work. Do you want to tell him
our little secret? What I always do? I'm driving around
and if I hear a song I think would be
a great What do I do you take a picture
of your dash in your car and then you text
(30:39):
it to me while you're driving. But no, we did
want to sound different. One. We just thought it was
time for a talk radio to become a conversation again.
Stop with the ego host pontificating and lecturing and get
back to talking and making sense of things and starting
(31:01):
our morning off right. And we did want to have
a different sound. So we have big different music and
it is kind of fun, isn't it all right? So
Powerball Jackbot is now at eight fifteen. We still didn't
have a big winner twelve days since Trump sent the
troops into DC. Zero murders in twelve days. And are
you living in a state of go getters or slackers?
(31:24):
A brand new ranking of America's hardest working states is out.
National correspondent for your morning show, Roy O'Neil is here
with the surprising results, including where your state may land
on the list. Well, I know we're movers and shakers, right.
Speaker 8 (31:38):
Sure, but look the states that rank high as the
hardest working states. Not to malign them, but it's because
really there's nothing else to do but work. And look
at the survey by wallet up the top three states
for the hardest workers North Dakota, Alaska and South Dakota,
(31:58):
so not really much to be distracted by the although
my theory goes right out the window because number five
on the survey is Hawaii.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Of course, maybe they have to work because of the
high cost there. Yeah, I was. I had a friend
who went and pastored a church in Maui and they
literally had service on the beach. And I'm thinking, well,
you think you're distracted and you're sanctuary. I mean, how
would you like to try to church? All right? So
it has to must have something to do with the criteria, right,
(32:26):
So if that's basically all you're doing is working, that's
why they appeared. Who is low on the list? See
if we can.
Speaker 8 (32:33):
See the same Yeah, they look at unemployment numbers, they
look at teen workers, whether or not people have more
than one job, How many hours of work each week?
How much leisure time? Do people have a whole bunch
of different numbers in here. Bottom of the barrel though,
which was a real shocker. Michigan really fiftieth on the
(32:53):
hardest working list, which would be associate obviously with the
car industry.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
But maybe it's because they get aid.
Speaker 8 (33:00):
Well, they don't have to work over or beyond that
forty hours, So maybe they don't need additional jobs out there.
So maybe they're working smarter rather than harder.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
But that's the way wallatup season. I think Michigan too,
believe it or not. I know you're gonna think right
off the bat. Oh, a lot of snow, a lot
of it's cold, a lot of the ear. There's a
lot of people that retire in Michigan too. I wonder
how retirement affects these numbers. But you're right, they also
looked at two incomes.
Speaker 8 (33:26):
How many people have you know, how many homes have
no one in the workforce? Yeah, West Virginia, Rhode Island, Nevada.
New York was actually also near the bottom of this
of this list.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
All right, let me see, I'm trying to think of
your morning show cities. Oklahoma, we have a ton of stations. Tennessee,
we have a ton of stations, Arizona, California. Where was
California on the list?
Speaker 8 (33:50):
California forty five. Also a lot of retire also a
lot of retirees. Yeah, which might not Florida. This retirement
would affect Florida greatly. I would think it came in
twenty eighth. Twenty eighth, where was it of the pack?
Almost fourteenth Tennessee, thirteenth on New Mexico, forty third in Arizona,
twenty third.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
All right, that's the movers and shakers versus the slackers. Rory,
great reporting as always, and thanks for joining us. We
had talked earlier with Rory. I think that the only
thing more shocking than the story itself was where it's headed,
the notion that we have seven year auto financing. The
cars have gotten so expensive that people are having to
(34:33):
finance over seven years. Now, think of when the warranty
runs out, probably after three. Think of paying on something
for seven years. That's depreciating the whole time and every mile.
I mean, what's it going to be worth by the
time you get it paid off? Will it even make
it till the time you paid off? And what Rory
(34:55):
had mentioned was and guess what on the horizon and
there's already some eight Now. What we also have seen
is the phenomenon of insurance costs going up. I'm trying
to think, well, my car insurance alone is half of
my mortgage payment, and it's more than any mortgage payment.
(35:18):
I had until I was over fifty years old. It's insane.
I mean, what point does ubering make more sense? At
what point does leasing make a heck of a lot
more sense. What a fascinating ride with Rory it's been today.
Well Red brought up earlier, it's four years since Abbygate
in Afghanistan. That's hard to believe. It has been almost
(35:40):
an eight complete months since I've had a vacation, which
I'll take care of that on Monday. And we're almost
to the end of August. Time flies, so you got
to make every moment count. You got to stay in
that moment, so we all have one chance to live
this Tuesday, August the twenty sixth, twenty twenty five. You'll
never get to live at again. Make the most of it.
(36:01):
Make a difference in someone's life, make sure you cherish
your own and for goodness sake, so we look forward
to waking you up again tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (36:07):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Ndheld, Joan no
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show has heard on
great radio stations across the country like one oh five,
nine twelve fifty w HNZ and Tampa, Florida, News Radio
five seventy wkb N and Youngstown, Ohio and News Radio
one thousand KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you
listen to us live in the morning, and of course
we're so grateful you came for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Enjoy well two three, starting your morning off right, A
new way of talk, a new way of understanding because
we're in the stupid This is your morning show with Michael.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Bel Charman, Mike mccamb. We got seven minutes after the hour.
Go morning, and welcome to Tuesday, August the twenty sixth.
One chance to this day, one chance to understand it together.
Thanks for waking up with your morning show. Well, it's
been twelve days since President Trump's deployment of federal troops
in our nation's capital, and the murder rate has gone
to zero. No murders in twelve days, the average normally
(01:00):
for a day. President Trump says he's removing Federal Reserve
Governor Lisa Cook from her position, but does he have
the legal authority to do so nobody can get the
powerball jackpot. No grand prize rollover goes to eight hundred
and fifteen million dollars. And when it comes to the
peace talks, conflicting signals from Russia. Is the Ukraine War
(01:21):
close standing or is it only talk and the Russian
ministers seem to be speaking for themselves or poutin but
sending conflicting signals. Attend of Colonel James Carafano's back in
the country and with us. You know how whenever you
disappear and travel the world, we'd like to guess where
you've been. Red's going with Belarus. I went with Budapest, Hungary,
(01:45):
and Jeffrey had no guess. Jeffrey I didn't really have
a guess. Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe, Okay, who was closest?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
You guys were so c You know, there's this game,
you know, world where you like get outline of a country.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, my White Plas.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Yeah. So it was in Australia.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Oh, he was down under. Wait, are you sure that
went a vacation.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
No, it was definitely not a vacation.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
And we could fill up the hour of your show
just talking about the flights getting there and the flights
getting back.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Oh yeah, that's that's more than I'm willing to fly. Well,
you are back, all right. So these conflicting signals from
the foreign ministers and military ministers, you know, very pessimistic
about anything, and the bombing would suggest that. And the
fact that no meeting has been planned between Putin and
Zelensky all kind of discouraging signs.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Well, so, yeah, I think that's right. On the other hand,
this is Plutin. He could just walk in tomorrow and
say let's make a deal, which he might. This gets
to the essence of strategy, which which I believe nobody
understands better than Donald Trump, and that is when you
(02:59):
were fighting an enemy or competing or whatever, and you
don't know what move they're going to make, you have
to make the move that protects and forward your interest
regardless of what they do. And I think Trump has
done that actually pretty effectively, where he has set up
(03:24):
a structure to protect American interests regardless of what Pat
Putin chooses.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
And I think he's brought the American people along.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
And demonstrated that in a risk and form way that
the United States can protect our interests of a NATO
that is holding a peace and a free and independent
Ukraine without significantly creating a serious risk for the US
or disrupting our efforts in other parts of the world.
(03:58):
So I think he's put the US in a good place.
I think doesn't have a lot of options.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yeah, let's I'm gonna use corporate speak here. Let's unpack
that a little bit. First thing was the mineral rights,
which gave us an interest in Ukraine and a physical presence.
I think what everybody was remember when the left media
was saying, oh, he's anti NATO. Oh no, he got
NATO to come to the table, pay more or NATO's
(04:24):
more united. That was evident as the president emerged as
a leader of the free world, conducting business with all
the European leaders at the White House. Some massive optic
leadership moments for the president. But he's got a united
NATO spending more, ready to defend more because it really
is a threat against them. First, he's kind of isolated
(04:46):
them so he can clamp down with penalties and restrictions.
The India thing's problematic because if they buy oil and
then you want to penalize them with tariffs, well, China's
going to buy oil and you don't have a China
deal yet, do we really want to go there? That
one I think is kind of counter But yeah, he's
made some pretty strong moves. I mean, there's no winning
this war.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
And I know some people say just put the hammer
down now, which I got to be honest, it's my
instinct that if you want to get the Russians attention,
the more pressure that you put on them, the more
likely is that they're going to respond to it. But
I understand the flip side of this was when you
pull that trigger on more extreme sanctions, you can only
(05:28):
do it once and it does create kind of rippling
effects on dealing with other countries, including India and some
other countries. So I trust the President to pull that
pin at the right time if he needs to. But
particularly on the arms thing, which pointed out not only
that we created a structure where the Europeans are largely
(05:51):
funding the US arms purchases for Iran, which is for
a run for Ukraine, which is not only good for Ukraine,
it shows that the Europeans have a dog in the
fight and they're willing to.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Commit to the support for what things that are in
their interest.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
But the other thing is is in the end, this
is helping the US industrial base, where we're really maximizing
demand on the US industrial base to build up production,
which really increases and makes us a much more robust
industrial base, which is going to suit us better in
the future.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
So I would I have played it exactly like the president.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
No.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Do I think he's played it played it well? Yes.
Do I think he's protected American interests?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Do I think Russia is in a tough, bad place, Yes?
And I think the thing I've learned most about Donald
Trump is this great humanity that it's not just about
protecting interests in all everything else with war should stop
because some people don't need to die in a war
that's going nowhere. And God bless them for having that
(07:00):
and that humanity in him, which I think is so often.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Ignored and denied.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
And and the the reality is, it's funny, you said,
because this is the one thing I really learned in Asia,
where they don't know how.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
To deal with Donald Trump at all, I said, And.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I said, you guys are so far behind the Europeans.
The Europeans know how to work with Donald Trump. They've
demonstrated that they have great confidence in that effort. Every
Europeans leader today has a successful relationship with Donald Trump,
except the liar, like the true ideologice like Sanchez in Spain,
but almost everybody else, almost to a person, actually not
only has a pragmatic relationship with Donald Trump, but they
(07:35):
realized that they are doing good things for Europe by
working with Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafinal joining us from the Heritage Foundation,
one of the largest thing tanks in the world. He
joins us every Tuesday to give us our military and
foreign policy briefing. I'll tell you what I like. Anybody
can write and I'm going to get to the strangeness
of this here in a second. But anybody can just
write big checks and be taken advantage of and and
let people die and let money be spent, and you know,
(08:03):
like the previous administration was doing. And then everybody perceived that,
you know, it was necessary for Trump to support Ukraine. Well,
not only has he supported Ukraine, He's now taken the
leadership position in this entire war. We've got more you know,
we're getting money back for all our investment in minerals.
He's got NATO paying more of their fair share and
(08:26):
he's taking the leadership role not only in negotiating the
out negotiating the outcome of the war one way or
the other, but being instrumental in bringing peace. But now
the Democrats at home, and it's silly and it's really
not even worth our time. But it's as if they've shifted, Oh,
don't lead the world and don't support Ukraine this way.
(08:48):
Now they're suddenly four more. So we have this new
Rasmussen poll. Forty two percent of likely voters believe Trump's
recent meetings made a piece more likely, thirty eight percent
think it made the deal less likely. And it falls
completely under a partisan lines. Seventy two percent of Republicans
consider the meeting successful, thirty one percent of Democrats. This
is just so silly, it is, but this is what
(09:12):
American politics at home have become. I guess suddenly now, well,
if Trump's for Ukraine, we can't be. If Trump's for pace,
we got to be for war. It's insane, it is crazy,
but you gotta try, right, at least give them an
a plus for trying.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
No, Look, I think I think eighty percent of Americans
are with Donald Trump on this and most issues. And
you know, increasingly, we have so many, many more of
these eighty twenty eight issues where where the left just
clutches their pearls on the twenty and just digs or
(09:51):
heels in on issues that if you took out you know,
in the old days, when McCain and Obama ran for pressed,
I used to play a game with people. I used
to give them a quote and I said, who said this?
And on so many issues, mccainan Obama's not identical, right,
you couldn't tell the difference.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
And on so many of his issues.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
If we could strip out Trump and Republican and Democrat
and you just objectively had a flat neutral statement about
good idea, bad idea, it wouldn't be eighty you know,
you wouldn't have this divide Republican Democrat.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Everybody would say, well, of course that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But what's the bottom line. Bottom line is this war
has to end because it can't be won now. When
it happens, and how long it drags out, that could
be problematic, And maybe Putin knows it because China's gonna
buy oil, and if you don't tear off China and
you did tariff India, that's inconsistent and if you teariff
China for buying you know, energy from they're gonna you're
(10:52):
never gonna get your tariff deal. And that's where most
of the imports are coming from. This could get problematic
quick well.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
And I am in the camp that.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Even with massive sanctions, which I don't have a problem with,
and I think India, we could make India hole and
energy an alternative energy sources.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
The even nothing can force Putin.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
To stop fighting except Putin the enemy has right and
and and when people say, well, what's the what's his endgame?
And and my answer is I don't know, and I
don't trust anybody.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
That says he does. You know, does you believe the
generals who say.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
We can win this war and three months just play,
you know, just kind of drag it out. Is he
just playing rope it up because he doesn't want what
he wants to do?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Is he?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Or is he just holding out for the you know,
the best deal that he thinks he can get.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
I don't know, and I don't believe anybody that says
that they do know. And so my answer is is
the war can only end when Putin stops it. Our
goal is to make sure that NATO is whole, that
the that there's a free and independent Ukraine. Trump's figure
that out regardless of what Putin does.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
So I'm a happy.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Camper and back and safe and sound from Australia with
your jet lag. I say, at ease, wonderful to have

Speaker 1 (13:57):
And executive order signed by President Trump will a stablish
specialized units in the National Guard. Roy O'Neal reports.
Speaker 8 (14:05):
The Defense Department is now under orders to create Guard
units specifically trained to tame civil unrest. Monday's order comes
as the President considers deploying Guard troops to cities like
Chicago and Baltimore as part of a crackdown on crime.
President Trump declared an emergency in Washington and used his
authority to take over the police there temporarily. Some local
(14:26):
leaders are pushing back, saying the president doesn't have the
same authority in their communities.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I'm Rory O'Neill, and he doesn't. But he's shown them
the way to law and order, that's for sure, and
the local voters should demand better of their municipalities.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Well.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Monday marked twelve days since President Trump's deployment of federal
troops in this nation's capital of Washington, d C. It
also marked twelve days without a single murder.
Speaker 9 (14:51):
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller praised the
efforts on Fox News Monday.
Speaker 10 (14:56):
President Trump has literally set the people of Washington, DC
that's free. They're so happy now that they can just
go out and live their lives. Go to the favorite restaurant,
go to the favorite bar, go to the favorite pool hall,
go to the favorite park.
Speaker 9 (15:08):
DC police told The Washington Post in March that the
nation's capital went sixteen days without a murder, calling it
the longest period in at least six years. Meanwhile, the
DC Police Union is touting an overall drop in crime
since the arrival of the National Guard compared to the
fourteen days prior to the federal control. It says robbery's
down forty two percent, in violent crime down twenty five percent.
(15:28):
I'm tammy for he.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Oh, well, that's DC under Trump. They're going a different direction.
In New York City, police have a critical.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Role to play for right now.

Speaker 11 (16:21):
On Monday, the Grammy Award winning artist pleaded not guilty
to all of those charges. Lil naz X, whose real
name is Montero Lamar Hill, is accused of assaulting LAPD
officers as they tried to arrest him in Studio City
last Thursday morning. Prosecutors say he injured at least three
of the officers. A video taken by a witness before
the arrest shows Hill strutting down the street and only
his underwear and cowboy boots while singing and dancing. He
(16:43):
could face up to five years in state prison if
he's convicted as charged.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
I'm Daniel Martindale.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yo. Hi, everybody, this is Dion the Wanderer.
Speaker 12 (16:54):
My morning show is your morning show with Michael del
and all.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
It's Michael. Your Morning Show airs live five to eight
am Central, six to nine Eastern and great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happy you're here. Now. Enjoy the podcast well,
it's been twelve days since the president sent federal troops
into the nation's capital, and it's been twelve days without
a murder. Powerball jackpot no winner again, rolling over jackpot
(17:31):
jumps to a staggering eight hundred and fifteen million today,
and parts of the Southwest are bracing for flooding. Heavy
rain expected to push through the area this week. And
at thirty six minutes after the hour, the always revealing,
often entertaining Sounds of the Day begins. Now she's gonna
get smoked.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
He's got too stopped.
Speaker 12 (17:50):
I really don't know what he said at the end
of this, and I don't think he knows what he
said even.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
It's got to be a big misunderstanding.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
Don't be tight.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
How do you like my garb loved it? I loved
it all right. Let's start with the DNC. They were
having their annual summer meeting. This is a party at
war with itself. This is a party that seems to
be split on every issue. But fear not, they are
united on one single issue. And to reveal what that
issue or derangement is, here's their chairman, Ken Martin.
Speaker 13 (18:25):
We are all unified towards one single goal. To stop
Donald Trump and put this country back on track.
Speaker 14 (18:34):
Yes, yes we have differences of opinion. Yes we're a
big tent party. Yes we don't agree on everything. But
that's a beauty of this Democratic Party. We are still
unified despite our differences.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
You know what the beautiful part of that is. And
I don't know who gets credit for this, but there's
an old saying, if you don't stand for something, you'll
fall for anything. That's kind of what they've fallen victim to.
So their sole focus is their Trump derangement. That's why
if Trump is for peace, you got to be for war.
(19:10):
If Trump is for no murders and no crime in DC,
you got to be for rape, murder and crime. It's insane.
Unfortunately for the Democrats, Ken had more to say.
Speaker 13 (19:29):
Ten billion dollars, that's how much was spent in twenty
four ten billion dollars just on our side, and yet
here we are no majorities.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
I get it. People are pissed off. I'm pissed off,
and I.
Speaker 13 (19:47):
Say, if you're not pissed off, then we have a
much bigger problem, right And sure, look, we can point
fingers and cast blame until we're blue in the face.
But will that help us win in New Jersey Bridge Pennsylvania.
Will that allow us to stop Trump from corrupting the
midterms with his redistricting power grab?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
No way.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
So again, let's win the election, not the argument.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I get emails every now and then you claim you're
not Republican or Democratic. You're always picking on the Democrats.
There's a lot to pick on. This is a party
fighting for its life. You've got the socialist Democrat movement,
You've got the emerging Islamist movement, you have the progressive movement.
(20:41):
And there's no such thing as Reagan Democrats. There's no
such thing as establishment Democrats anymore. It is completely divided.
They have had to fix their last four presidential primaries.
And got away with it with Hillary, got away with
it with Joe. They didn't get away with it when
(21:02):
they finally shuffled Joe off the stage and handed all
of his delegates to Kamala and never gave Democrat voters
to say. And now they're basically looking at you in
the eye and telling you the only thing that we
stand for, never mind open borders, because secured borders we
(21:22):
can't be for. That's Trump War, because we can't be
for peace. Trump's for peace, crime in our streets, and
murder because we can't be for law and order. That's Trump.
They don't want to get into any of that. And
nobody cares about global warming and other than that, that
(21:43):
just leaves killing babies. So all they stand for is
their deranged, obsessed hatred of Donald Trump. No wonder they're
falling for all of this, including coach Timmy that.
Speaker 13 (22:00):
Finds the need to talk about, Oh, there's a division in.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
The Democratic Party.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
There's a division in my damn house.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
And we're still married and things are good. That's lie.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
That's lie.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
By the way, you heard Ken Martin bringing up New
Jersey in Virginia. New Jersey looks like this is going
to be they're going to lose that state because of
the loss of the Hispanic voting block, the black vote
in Virginia. That's now it's tightened up to a single
digit to Harriett and we go and are we making
(22:43):
too much or not enough of the party registration gap?
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Hey, look, the Democratic brand right now has about the
appeal with the American voter as the cracker barrel rebrand
has with the American consumers.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Bad, bad, bad, What are you doing.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Oh my goodness, gracious, what do we tak talking about
here in terms of big party registration changes in the
key swing states. Let's look at the key for swing
states that in fact do keep tract of registration by party. Look,
the Republican Party is in their best position at this
point in the cycle since at least two thousand and five,
and all four of these key battleground states. We go
out to the southwest, Arizona, how about Nevada, Republicans haven't
(23:22):
done this well since two thousand and five. Oh, my goodness,
gration at this point of cycle. North Carolina. I couldn't
find the point at which Republicans were doing better at
this point in the cycle. It's at least this century.
It probably goes way back in the last century. And
Pennsylvania very similar. Republicans doing better at this point than
at any point at any point this century, at least
(23:43):
as far as I could find. Now, what types of
gains are we talking about here for the Republican Party, Well,
let's compare it to this point during their first Trump administration,
all the way back in twenty seventeen. Look at this
the Republican Party gains and party registration compared to this
point back in twenty seventeen during the Trump firstdministration. In Arizona,
you got a Republican gain.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Of three points.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Okay, how about Nevada up the hill we go, even
though we're sticking in the Southwest, a gain of six points.
How about again we come to the east coast, North Carolina,
a gain of eight points for the Republicans. And in
the Keystone State, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, again we're
talking about a gain of eight points. My goodness, gracious
for Republicans. They are converting old former Democrats to their
(24:25):
side of the ledger as well as picking up new
voters regis.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
So how is this, Oh, don't pivot towards the American
people on these issues. Fight, fight, fight, and go further left.
As bad as that picture looks now over the next year,
if they continue with this, let's go further left. I
suspect those numbers get even worse. Now.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Of course, Donald Trump has been president since January. Are
there any bright spots for Democrats?
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Have they picked up.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Any ground since January one in terms of party registration?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (24:58):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (24:59):
None?
Speaker 4 (24:59):
These Keith, these key swing states, these four key swing states.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
What are we talking about?
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Party registration margin gains since January one, twenty twenty five.
Which party's gain in Arizona? The GOP? How about Nevada?
The GOPY? North Carolina? The GOP? How out in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
We'll make it four for four. The GOP tired of
winning yet? The President from the Oval Office addressed eleven
days now twelve no murders And in.
Speaker 12 (25:27):
The last eleven days again, I hate to say it
because it sounds so ridiculous, but in the last eleven days, we've.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Had no murders.
Speaker 12 (25:35):
And that's the first time that's taken place in.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Years, actually years. We always have a murder a week,
they go it a murder a week.
Speaker 12 (25:43):
You come here from Iowa, you come here from Indiana,
you come here from Idaho, because you're so proud of
your country, you love your country. And then you get murdered.
Your son gets murdered, you do it, or gets murdered.
You get murdered, see the media, you get murdered. Many
of you have been mugged in Washington. You just don't
want to talk about it. And I know that every
time I do this with you, you almost everything.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
But every time I do this.
Speaker 12 (26:06):
With you people to say to yourselves, he's right, he's right,
and then you write a negative So.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Hmmm, boy, does that nail it. So now suddenly the
Democrats have to be for crime and it's insane. Here
comes Sarah Hukabe Sanders with more on that.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
It's absolutely crazy that they wouldn't be thanking Donald Trump
for helping them fix their cities. One of the big
reasons that Donald Trump is president is because people want
to feel safe in their communities. They want the border to.
Speaker 9 (26:42):
Be shut down.
Speaker 6 (26:43):
They don't want drugs and lawlessness taking over our country.
And it's one of the big things that propelled him
back into the White House because they know he's a
president who's going to bring law in order. He's going
to back up our law enforcement. He's going to make
people feel safe and secure again. And that's exactly what
he's delivering on. I think that Democrat mayors and governors
(27:04):
need to be thanking him and begging him to come
to their cities.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Right they can't because the only thing they stand for
is being anti Trump. That has even a Democrat strategist
thinking it's insane.
Speaker 15 (27:18):
Laura, you said, it's the definition of insanity. You just
keep doing the same thing over and over again. And
as a Democrat, it's maddening that we're still not serious.
Like you said, we haven't lost four and a half
million voters, nor is our brand at a historic low
because we don't fight hard enough. It's because we remain
completely culturally disconnected and we have absolutely no agenda. You
said earlier in your monologue, Trump's trying to solve problems.
(27:40):
We always offered to three p's the personal attacks, which
you just heard. He's a dictator and authoritative. We argue process, Oh,
we shouldn't do this, he's violating customs and norms. Or
it's the press, right, it's their job to do it.
And then on the cultural issues, we literally have think
tanks putting memos out that you know, these are the
words you're not supposed to say. Hey, you add it
all up, and we're not in good shape.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
I said, one or both parties will be gone by
the end of the decade. There's no question you're witnessing
the death of the Democrat Party. And if you don't
stand for something, you'll fall for anything. And they're falling
for all the fringe je.
Speaker 10 (28:22):
All people who majored inn online activision with a minor
and puberty Bob a little bit beat.
Speaker 9 (28:29):
Any of you in the media clearly missed the art
of the deal.
Speaker 1 (28:33):

Speaker 7 (30:00):
It's your morning show with Michael del Journal.
Speaker 16 (30:04):
I am giving a kudos to Jeffrey in the music
bumps that he plays in and out of your program.
We must be a kindred soul because getting ready in
the morning, I just love to hear the music as.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Well as the commentary. Keep doing what you're doing, guys. Gee,
I wonder how that talkback made it on the air. Oh,
you do great work. Do you want to tell him
our little secret? What I always do? I'm driving around
and if I hear a song I think would be
a great What do I do you take a picture
of your dash in your car and then you text
(30:39):
it to me while you're driving. But no, we did
want to sound different. One. We just thought it was
time for a talk radio to become a conversation again.
Stop with the ego host pontificating and lecturing and get
back to talking and making sense of things and starting
(31:01):
our morning off right. And we did want to have
a different sound. So we have big different music and
it is kind of fun, isn't it all right? So
Powerball Jackbot is now at eight fifteen. We still didn't
have a big winner twelve days since Trump sent the
troops into DC. Zero murders in twelve days. And are
you living in a state of go getters or slackers?
(31:24):
A brand new ranking of America's hardest working states is out.
National correspondent for your morning show, Roy O'Neil is here
with the surprising results, including where your state may land
on the list. Well, I know we're movers and shakers, right.
Speaker 8 (31:38):
Sure, but look the states that rank high as the
hardest working states. Not to malign them, but it's because
really there's nothing else to do but work. And look
at the survey by wallet up the top three states
for the hardest workers North Dakota, Alaska and South Dakota,
(31:58):
so not really much to be distracted by the although
my theory goes right out the window because number five
on the survey is Hawaii.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Of course, maybe they have to work because of the
high cost there. Yeah, I was. I had a friend
who went and pastored a church in Maui and they
literally had service on the beach. And I'm thinking, well,
you think you're distracted and you're sanctuary. I mean, how
would you like to try to church? All right? So
it has to must have something to do with the criteria, right,
(32:26):
So if that's basically all you're doing is working, that's
why they appeared. Who is low on the list? See
if we can.
Speaker 8 (32:33):
See the same Yeah, they look at unemployment numbers, they
look at teen workers, whether or not people have more
than one job, How many hours of work each week?
How much leisure time? Do people have a whole bunch
of different numbers in here. Bottom of the barrel though,
which was a real shocker. Michigan really fiftieth on the
(32:53):
hardest working list, which would be associate obviously with the
car industry.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
But maybe it's because they get aid.
Speaker 8 (33:00):
Well, they don't have to work over or beyond that
forty hours, So maybe they don't need additional jobs out there.
So maybe they're working smarter rather than harder.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
But that's the way wallatup season. I think Michigan too,
believe it or not. I know you're gonna think right
off the bat. Oh, a lot of snow, a lot
of it's cold, a lot of the ear. There's a
lot of people that retire in Michigan too. I wonder
how retirement affects these numbers. But you're right, they also
looked at two incomes.
Speaker 8 (33:26):
How many people have you know, how many homes have
no one in the workforce? Yeah, West Virginia, Rhode Island, Nevada.
New York was actually also near the bottom of this
of this list.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
All right, let me see, I'm trying to think of
your morning show cities. Oklahoma, we have a ton of stations. Tennessee,
we have a ton of stations, Arizona, California. Where was
California on the list?
Speaker 8 (33:50):
California forty five. Also a lot of retire also a
lot of retirees. Yeah, which might not Florida. This retirement
would affect Florida greatly. I would think it came in
twenty eighth. Twenty eighth, where was it of the pack?
Almost fourteenth Tennessee, thirteenth on New Mexico, forty third in Arizona,
twenty third.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
All right, that's the movers and shakers versus the slackers. Rory,
great reporting as always, and thanks for joining us. We
had talked earlier with Rory. I think that the only
thing more shocking than the story itself was where it's headed,
the notion that we have seven year auto financing. The
cars have gotten so expensive that people are having to
(34:33):
finance over seven years. Now, think of when the warranty
runs out, probably after three. Think of paying on something
for seven years. That's depreciating the whole time and every mile.
I mean, what's it going to be worth by the
time you get it paid off? Will it even make
it till the time you paid off? And what Rory
(34:55):
had mentioned was and guess what on the horizon and
there's already some eight Now. What we also have seen
is the phenomenon of insurance costs going up. I'm trying
to think, well, my car insurance alone is half of
my mortgage payment, and it's more than any mortgage payment.
(35:18):
I had until I was over fifty years old. It's insane.
I mean, what point does ubering make more sense? At
what point does leasing make a heck of a lot
more sense. What a fascinating ride with Rory it's been today.
Well Red brought up earlier, it's four years since Abbygate
in Afghanistan. That's hard to believe. It has been almost
(35:40):
an eight complete months since I've had a vacation, which
I'll take care of that on Monday. And we're almost
to the end of August. Time flies, so you got
to make every moment count. You got to stay in
that moment, so we all have one chance to live
this Tuesday, August the twenty sixth, twenty twenty five. You'll
never get to live at again. Make the most of it.
(36:01):
Make a difference in someone's life, make sure you cherish
your own and for goodness sake, so we look forward
to waking you up again tomorrow.
