Now enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Two three starting your morning off right. A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Because we're in this together.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
This is your Morning show with Michael O'Dell, Jordan Andy.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Welcome to Wednesday, August the twenty seventh VIEVO Load twenty
twenty five on the Aaron streaming live on your iHeartRadio app.
This is your morning show. I'm Michael, Jefferys got the sound,
Red's got the content. Swinging a bat on deck as
David's anati if you're just waking up. President Trump says
he wants the death penalty for any murders in the
DC area. Cracker Barrel does a oneint eighty ditches the

(00:59):
new logo to go back to the old logo before
the new logo is even put up, and Taylor Swift
and Travis Kelce have announced their engagement after two years
of dating. David Snati's our senior contributaries with us to
comment on that engagement.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Oh, I know better.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
I want to start with an old saying, and I
don't know who to credit it to. It may be anonymous,
it may be somebody famous.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
But you've got to stand for something or you'll fall
for anything. That's kind of part of what I see
the Democrat Party doing right now. I mean, they just
had their big summer DNC meeting and you know, everybody
was just trying to address the elephant in the room.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
This party's completely divided.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
You have a segment of the party as literally trying
to take over the party, The socialist Democrats, the Progressives
are still there. I don't think there's anything called establishment
Democrat or Reagan Democrat left. And now you have this
emerging is law missed portion of the party is well,
which is part of the squad, and certainly Mom Donnie
in New York. I mean, they're a mess, But what

(02:06):
did they try to unify? The only substantive thing that
they could say that they unified on is stopping Donald Trump,
who won't be seeking a reelection. And that's what's really good.
If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
That's how the fringe keeps getting them, and this derangement
keeps getting them in trouble. So if Trump is for

(02:28):
secured borders, well then you've got a champion open dangerous borders.
If Trump's for safe law and order in our cities,
and you've got to be for crime. If Trump is
for peace, then you've got to be for war. This
has had a crazy damaging impact on the Democrats brand,

(02:51):
has it not?

Speaker 1 (02:53):
What are they now? Again?

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Most people don't wake up every morning asking themselves how's
the Democrat brand doing today? Or how's the Republican brand
doing today. It's not like cereal boxes. That's not the
way that people look at life. In regards to the voters.
The voters pay attention every two years, they pay attention
every four years. They pay attention for about three days

(03:16):
to about fifteen minutes. And that's not being I'm not
being prejudicial or condemning. That's the way it is. We've
been in the voting business for forty five years. The
second piece of the puzzle is that what's happening now
is simply the reality that the jig is up, the
dance is over. The people who have been a part

(03:36):
of the tribalists disassociation from reality spawned by the progressive movement,
which is to divide and conquer, to divide our country
up in the little segments and then unify tribes to
attack power.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
The game is.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
The game is over because those people have been all
used up. They're boring.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Now.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
Look at all the leftist agenda items that the progressive
billionaires have cycled through, and the people who had their
fifteen minutes of fame in the process, guess what, They're
out of material and the other guys have won. So
what the real money players are doing and where the
real politics is is not in the polls regarding the
parties in the moment.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
It's in twenty twenty eight, because.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
The money is parked until then, The players are parked
until then. It's a giant pause, and you're just going
to see the warm up begin in these two governors'
races in New Jersey and Virginia, which you're very tight.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
By the way, New Jersey, they could lose New Jersey
and the other is in single digits now, which my
prediction is.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
That the Dems win both just because those states are
predisposed to vote Democrat anyhow, and there's not going to
be any defining issue in the whole process other than
Donald Trump, so it's just going to be that kind
of But even that, the money players are going to
be there, but not big. Their play is twenty twenty eight.
They know that they've lost the cycle, they're out of sync.

(05:05):
But really, more than anything else, what they're doing, Michael,
is they're acting much like a very big snake.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
They're shedding their skin.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
All the tribalism that has got them where they got
through the Biden area is now out of fashion.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
It's no longer in and they've got to get rid
of it.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
So they're basically letting all those people meet and weep
and grieve and then have to consider how they want
to get paid and whether they.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Still can be conformed to the images of the billionaire.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
Club, and if not, they're all gone, they're all out,
and the billionaires start over again.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
One point of contention, you know, I know you've been
and trust me, they've been leaders in this, so I
get it.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
You've been studying voters for forty five years.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
I look back up when we first met in your kitchen,
and it was very carrovaview. You had a whiteboard, it's
very very glad back of you and started writing, and
I think it was true then. I don't know that
it's the same climate and true today. So i'll give
you an example since then, Barack Obama, a community organizer,

(06:08):
goes from state legislature to US Senate sixty days later
running for president, becomes a two term president. Nothing on
the resume to qualify him for that. But that's celebrity
politics today. The problem he ran into is the community
organizer that divides to conquer. That works in a city

(06:29):
doesn't work for a nation when you're everyone's president. That
was the first big mistake. Secondly, we now live in
a time of social media. I think people are following
more and more obsessed on it. That's why we've gotten
so divisive on social media and it's gotten so negative
in the matrix. But it's obvious this party needs to

(06:51):
pivot back to common sense, pivot back to the American people,
and it's refusing to. In fact, it's wanting to pivot
more into fight fight fight in the wrong direction. I mean,
why would these the infrastructure, grass tops, the really billionaires
that have been playing this game for so long, Why
would they let them spin out of control all the

(07:12):
way into the.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Midterms because they don't meet them anymore.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
They want all these they want the extreme skin of
this party to be shed and cast off and forgotten
so they can recast it in another image. They're candidates
in Virginia and New Jersey reflect the beginning of that,
but it'll get more and more significant now. Trump is
their greatest ally, and they know that they'll run against
Trump in twenty twenty eight, no matter what, no matter

(07:36):
what they bring, that'll be the endless mantra of twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Eight, even if he's not on the ticket.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Of course, and it's an open seed election, and it's
especially bad for Vance. This is where I really have
my doubts about a fan. So it will be the
next president of the United States because he will inherit
the entire anti Trump reality. Michael, there's one number that
we have to remember. And again we're not arguing here.
I'm learning too years isn't enough time to know it all.
I got to tell you that for sure.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
No, but you know most And but we're in a
shifting sand right now. That's what makes the last ten
years a little bit more more relevant than the first
thirty five.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
That was the only point I was making, yes, no,
And it's a good point. And social media does have
an impact in a play.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
But the thing we're talking on the whiteboard is that
when you look at the American electorate, say this very quickly,
half the people who are eligible to vote by age don't.
They don't participate, they're not registered, and if they are registered,
they don't.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
It's still a remarkable number. But go ahead, and a
government up formed by the people, that's a remarkable number.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Let's just say we got to state a ten million people.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
That means telling the adults who are eligible to vote, well,
that means that five million are going to participate on
a regular, regular basis.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
I just half aren't going to participate.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
Okay, of the five million that are there, now you
remember you already got half the people checked out on
what's going on with the five million that are there?
Those are the people that are going to vote every
two years, every four years, they divide seventy five percent
of them will vote not pay attention, twenty four percent
will pay attention every day they listen to your morning show,
and one percent will lead. And that formula hasn't changed

(09:05):
for forty five.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
So the electoral college values will change and the swing
states impact becomes big. But people need to realize two things.
I'm gonna make a point for you.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
They need to.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Realize not everybody follows this stuff like we do every morning.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
That's number one.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
That's you, because you're special and you're one of the leaders,
and what we do, most voters do not. Okay, that's
number one, So most don't follow it like we do
all the time. Secondly, when you get to the swing states,
you could make a case that you could target and
I think they prove this during COVID. You can target

(09:46):
two swing precincts and a swing district of a swing state,
and four swing states and tip an entire national election. Now,
what they don't see coming is all their state failures
and the people that have moved and the values in
the electoral college. In other words, I could almost make
the statistical case if they don't win in twenty twenty eight,

(10:08):
they may never win again.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
And that's not even hyperbole. No, it's not hyperbole.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
Twenty twenty eight is going to be a watershed mark
because remember, not only is twenty twenty eight critically essential,
but then we move into the ten year census where
things are going to be readjusted again, and the numbers
are not going to change. For the Democrats, they're going
to lose more congressional seats and electoral seats based on
population change. Remember this about the Democrat Party. For the Democrats,
politics as theater. It's all about the stories they make up.

(10:35):
They are committed to nothing but the theater of it
and the persuasiveness of it because they live in an
absolute morally relativistic world.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
And so they're constantly changing themes and using people.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
Just a question is that you notice that they don't
keep their coalitions together either.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Very rarely they blow up and they're new.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
The stuff we've got today wasn't even thought about twenty
years ago.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
So for them, it's theater. It's a different circumstances.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
And then the other thing we have to remember, Michael,
is that big change doesn't happen in America because there
is one political party not to at the top of
the food chain in the United States Senate and Congress.
The Republicans of the Democrats are buying large one party
and it's go along to get along, to keep control
and to keep the money flowing. It's a sad reality.

(11:22):
Our government is too big, it's out of control, and
it is being run by oligarchs of both parties.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
David sinnadis our senior Contributori is also the CEO of
the American Policy round Table and host of the Public Square.
Can I give the greatest example to make your case
against me, not that we were really on different sides,
but read assuming everything, and I think it will by
the time the twenty twenty eight presidential election happens, they'll

(11:51):
be peace in the Middle East, and the Arab nations
will be overseeing the Palestinian territory, so it won't have
to be Israel and it won't have to be America.
And that will really be a permanent solution because that'll
be Arab Muslims overseeing the Muslims in that region. I
think the war in Ukraine will be over, so they'll
be generalized peace. The tariffs will all be worked out,

(12:12):
the economy should be in full bloom. That'll be probably
six interest rate cuts later, it'll be happy days. But
I'll remind everyone you can't find happier days than after
eight years of IKE. I mean, it was the time
of ultimate you know everything, and the easiest thing to

(12:34):
do would be to pass the torch, don't upset the
Apple card, keep the happy days going with Richard Nixon.
And then such a man as John F. Kennedy emerged.
And this is where David brings up how they stole
the election in Chicago. I'm not going to acknowledge that
the problem is. I don't see any JFK on the horizon,

(12:54):
and I don't even think Wes Moore is a Barack Obama,
let alone a JFK. And I certainly don't think manuals
that may be the problem for them. We'll have more
on that when we come back. Listen, you don't want

Speaker 3 (14:27):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael Del Chrono.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
The President wants a death penalty for anybody that commits
the murder in our nation's capital, Cracker barrel a one
to eighty, although red sign did go up, which tells
me they may have made all these signs. They may
have blown another seven hundred million dollars on new signs
that aren't going to go up there reversing a one
eighty and ditching the new logo after listening to their people.
And if you haven't heard, yeah, Taylor Swift and Travis

(14:54):
Kelce announced their engagement after two years of dating. I
hope they don't hijack the entire football season with this.
I suspect they might. In the meantime, I'm with the president.
Wish them well good luck. All right, let me kind
of restate case somebody's just tuning in. David Snatti's our
senior contributor. We're talking about the branding problems of the Democrats.
I would state it this way, if you don't stand

(15:15):
for something, you'll fall for anything.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
They keep falling for the fringe.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
So if Donald Trump is for you know, open border,
for securing the border one, then we got to be
for open border, let the drug traffic and come in.
If he's for stopping crime in a city, well then
we got to be for crime in the city. If
he's for peace, we got to be for war. And
it's just it's really affected the brand. So is the
brand sinking while the infrastructure is fine? And what are
they waiting for? And how do they plan to pull

(15:40):
it over? And then I pull it off? And then
I brought up the candidate issue. But the big question
is if you were going to let this party spin
out of control and let the fringe kill itself off
like a snake shedding skin, do you rebrand? Do you
come back as the new Improved Democrat Party with all
the loans.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
Out of the room, or is it a new name?

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Because either way, it's going to be very tough to
resurrect this after this much damage. Using to use the
cracker barrel example, the same new logo when they wanted
the old logo and it has no credibility. Plus you
don't have a candidate like a John F. Kennedy to
make you forget ike.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
You know, well, the strategy for a generation has been
additioned by division. And that's what they've done, is they
divided up the country. Then they've put their team, their
little divided pieces up. It's like a game of jacks.
If you've got ten and they've got six and you
got four, they win. You divide everything up into the
smallest adamization that you can, and then you get one
more than the other guy. That's what they've done. Those

(16:40):
teams are all now worn out. But we got to
remember this, Michael, in spite of all of the betrayal
of trust of COVID, and despite of the fact that
we were betrayed as a nation by a president who
was incapable of doing his job and by a vice
president who covered it up then ran for president after
never getting a single vote in a proNT Democratic primary,

(17:02):
seventy million people still voted for They know they've got
a base, and that base isn't going to go away
because division dies hard. They've done so much division that is,
we've have a generational problem. Al so they will have
a formidable threat in the national election.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
It just depends on what they can pick off along
the way. So that's twenty twenty eight.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
When we come back, How does all this brand disintegration
with a structure still intact, waiting like a snake to
strike in twenty twenty eight. What does that do to
the midterms in twenty twenty six? And we continue with
David Snatti.

Speaker 5 (17:40):
Hey, y'all, it's Mike McCann, the announcer guy down in
New Orleans and my Morting Shows, Your Morting Show with
Michael del Joino.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Hey, it's me and Michael.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
You can listen to your morning show live on the
air or stream live on your iHeart app Monday through
Friday from three to six Pacific, five to eighth Central,
and six to nine Eastern on great radio stations like
Talk six fifty KSTE and Sacramento or one oh four
nine The Patriot in Saint Louis and Impact Radio one
oh five nine and twelve fifty whd Z in Tampa, Florida.

(18:17):
Sure hope you can join us live and make us
a part of your morning routine. In the meantime, enjoy
the podcast. David's not the only one joining us from Ohio.
Here's Mike on the talkback line.

Speaker 5 (18:26):
Michael, this is Mike from Levanon, Ohio.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
It's called job security.

Speaker 6 (18:31):
I can't do the show without your morning show is
my morning show too.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
He's referencing when the show opened now in defense of
Red and Jeffrey. Ten seconds before the open, the Infinity
Internet goes out, So that kills one of my feeds,
which is why Julian Premiere have installed the secondary one

(18:57):
on a completely different Oh. So that's so that if
that ever happens, you just pot up the other one.
So instead of me I'm texting Red, I'm texting Jeffrey.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
I'm on the.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Secondary, the auxiliary. Just pot it up, pot up. Meanwhile,
they're panicking. David, you're a radio guy, and all they're
doing is describing their fear out law. Well, Michael's not here,
what do we do now Michael's not here. Well, meanwhile
Michael saying, I pot up the you know, the auxiliary.
I wanted them to play a clip of it so

(19:32):
you could hear, because they claimed they didn't panic, and
then they claimed, well, Angela said we were great, we
didn't like and then I started talking to them about
how you overcome fear through exposure. So I think I'm
gonna just start roaming off every now and then until
they you can't get these guys to shut up.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
When we're in a break and then they're on the air.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
They panicked. But here's the point. I'll give you an example.
While we were gone, you and Red and I brought
this up in a meeting. I really think we should
take some of the audio from during the breaks and
do something completely separate with it, because sometimes it's even
it's completely different but better than the show. But you
got and I just sit here and shut up. That's
my chance to listen. But you touched on something, read

(20:14):
challenged a little bit, brought up a couple of examples
kicking around, and then you kind of summarized by saying,
there's really America really is divided, but it's divided in three.
We state that for everyone listening because it's powerful and
it's true, and we always forget the third one.

Speaker 4 (20:29):
Yeah, there's well, there's there's grown ups in the room,
and those are the people who are conservative or growing
more conservative because they've lived enough life to realize that
this isn't a game. Then there are people who are
basically in the adolescent stage where they're just mad at
everybody and they're tribalized, they divided and divided by conquer
and they get sucked up into a lot of these
schemes now, and there's extremes on both ends.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
But this is one group, second group, uh and and there.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
It depends on the candidate as to which one shows
up at what number. They make up about half the
voters combined. The biggest number is fifty percent. Those are
the people don't care that much. They really don't care about
the issues. They don't care if you could list left right.
They don't care about black lives matters, and they don't
care about abortion. They don't care about any of this that.

(21:15):
They just want to be left alone and live their lives,
and they drag themselves to the polls to pick the
lesser of two evils because they don't care that much.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
You a right, So you have conservatives, you have the
extreme far left. I don't even know what that is anymore.
It's a combination of Islamist mostly Democrats, socialists, mostly progressive
gone crazy. But it's that fringe far left, usually attached
to a single issue, and together they make up a group.

(21:44):
Maybe it's twenty six percent, maybe now thirty one percent
of the Democrat Party, even less of the nation. So
you're right to point them out You're right to point
out the conservatives. Most people don't point out the majority
which don't care. And that's not always just apathy. This
is the problem the Democrats are having with his Hispanics,
with open borders and taxation and inflation.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
Hispanics are they are just born.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
I mean, if I got to have anything, Guy said,
what's going on in the Hispanic community? Still love God,
still love family, and still have the most amazing work
ethic because they do, and they want to be left alone.
And that's why they're having problems with that particular voting
block that they once owned. But all right, so if
this is all a big snake and skin shedding game

(22:31):
and they're playing for the fringe to destroy themselves in
public so that they can take their grass tops money
and rebrand the Democrat Party in time to steal the
twenty twenty eight election, which to review, may be the
last one they can win with the electoral college because
of the exodus from California, Illinois, and New York to Texas, Tennessee, Florida,

(22:52):
North Carolina.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
What does that make of the midterms in between?

Speaker 4 (22:57):
Remember, Michael, the left is playing with house money, and
the reason that they're playing with house money. Is the
money holds the power the UNI Party in the United
States Senate and the leadership of the United States House
is such that the people who are the money principled
interests are going to get their way no matter what.
Congress is not going to make any massive major changes.

(23:20):
For all that Donald Trump's doing with great respect and appreciation,
He's tinkering around the edges. He's doing good things, and
there are things that need to be done. But we
still do not have a comprehensive immigration reform policy that
deals with depopulation.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
They won't even talk about that. We still don't have
it engaged Congress leading.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
We still don't have state legislators protecting from Congress.

Speaker 4 (23:44):
You can't even find them, why because they're all bought
at the top.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
And listen. If you don't think that shot, just go ahead.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
And look at how much the casino industry has paid
for the Republican politics of America for the last thirty years.
Look at the numbers. The numbers are there. The progressive
left's playing with house money. They're not really afraid that
they've lost anything. They're really not afraid. They may have
changed some actors in the game but the play is

(24:10):
still going on.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
It's theater.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
What if I threw this at you, and I'll take
this right out of the mouth of the DNC chair
at this summer gathering, ten billion dollars, that's what we spend.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
So if money's everything.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
And it's on the sidelines just waiting to pounds, well,
they had ten billion dollars and they lost the White House,
they lost the Senate, and they lost the House of Representatives.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
They got nothing to show for it.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Does that still make you fear the money and the
rebranding in twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Eight because I don't fear it.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
No, and no, because it takes a lot more money
to tell a lie than tell the truth. That's the truth,
and the truth is is that the truth always prevails
in the end.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
That's the hope.

Speaker 4 (24:52):
The truth will prevail in the end if we can
move people from the denial I don't care stage to
recognizing that they have the personal responsibility.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Of this of this government.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
The great reality of America is that the moral authority
for our government resides with we the people, not with
the power, and not with the money. We've lost sight
of that, and Congress is now subjugated to that power
money curve. We the people can change this. It's a
generational problem. I think we're making great strides against it,

(25:24):
but it's going to take a while. And that's why
what's going on at the top is still what Melanie
el Sayer, our legislative director, would say, it's still wrapping paper.
The substance of these congressional races is going to be
in surprises.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Who's It's very divided.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
Who's going to come up with Nobody sees coming and
wins three, four or five House seats, and that'll make
all the difference.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
You know, I did.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
I did the story earlier from the New York Times
how the electoral college could tilt further away from the Democrats.
This is a real reality, it's and this is the
brilliance of our founding fathers, all right.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
So they envisioned.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Every state having two senators because we're the United States,
and they're there to protect states rights and make things
don't get out of line. You have the people's House
that was meant to have the most power to represent
the populace. And that's why every state does not have
the same amount of members of the House of Representatives,
because that's where the population is represented, then you have
the executive brand should execute any of their laws, and
if they overstep their bounds, then you have the Supreme

(26:21):
Court to set them straight. Today we've made a president
a king, we've made the Supreme Court god. The House
of Representatives is missing an action, and the Senators are
a club of one hundred. They're not even chosen by
the state anymore. And the last thing on their mind
the states rights. So we're only getting it completely wrong.
But people have that ultimate vote that our founding fathers foresaw,

(26:45):
and that's with their feet, and they've used it. And
so as they leave California and Illinois and New York,
they're worthless. On an electoral college map, I said, I
think one or both parties will be gone by the
end of the decade. This electoral college map and this
movement with the new census is going to prove that
at least for winning the White House, it's off the

(27:07):
table forever. By twenty thirty two, it becomes almost impossible
for them to win the electoral That's when they'll really
rise up and go after the electoral college. And I
hope we don't have a civil warrner ance, but that
end of the decade. Well, if I do miss, now
looks like I'm only going to miss by two years
at the most.

Speaker 4 (27:26):
Well, I'll tell you who could miss if they're not careful.
Elon Musk has the right answer. It's not a third party.
What it is is it's a triage organization that comes
up to minister to and nurture that group of people
that's out of the process.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
That's the key is that getting that group of people
back in. They don't need to be a third party.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
There's need to be a group of people who are
influenced to move forward. Musk is right, there's got to
be a third agency come into this process somewhere.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Do we tell them call us?

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Do we get a bonus visit from DC this week,
as in like tomorrow, maybe her tomorrow. Maybe If not,
I'll see you next at the airport with a big hug,
isn't your big I'll be the one that looks a
year older. Or we'll talk to you tomorrow. Great time
together today, Thank you so much, David. All right, if
you're just waking up the Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook,

(28:19):
she's challenging her removal by President Trump.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
It'll be a good challenge too.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
He does not have authority to remove her, and she
hasn't been proven guilty of anything yet. Mark Mayfield has
more details.

Speaker 6 (28:29):
According to an attorney four Cook, Trump has no authority
to remove Cook and the firing lacks any factual or
legal basis. Cook's removal follows a Justice Department criminal investigation
into the board governor after she was accused of making
false statements on home mortgage applications by Federal Housing Finance
Agency Director Bill Polte. If Cook does sue, the case
could end up being decided by the Supreme Court.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
I'm Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Cracker Barrel does a one to eighty. They're ditching the
new logo before it's even up everywhere. Tammy Trio has
the story.

Speaker 7 (29:00):
Herberyl unveiled its new text only logo last week, ditching
the restaurant's iconic image of an older man leaning against
a beryl.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
The response was.

Speaker 7 (29:08):
Mostly negative, and late Tuesday, the company said in a statement,
the new logo is going away and the old timer
will remain even President Trump weighed in on the controversy,
advising the restaurant chain should ed amit a mistake based
on customer response, I'm Tammy triheo.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
National Guard troops are already armed in Washington, DC and
the murder rates at zero.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Now.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
President Trump says Chicago is likely the next target, along
with California cities like Oakland. Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee.

Speaker 8 (29:34):
Donald Trump is just downright wrong about Oakland, like he's
wrong about all the other cities.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
That he trashed.

Speaker 9 (29:41):
On Monday, President Trump signed orders to address crime in
Democratic led cities like Oakland. Last week, he proposed sending
troops to San Francisco to improve safety. California is already
involved in a lawsuit to see if the President acted
illegally by sending troops to Los Angeles for law enforcement
Ryan Shook.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Meanwhile, New York City officials and governor of New York
are telling President Trump we got this.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Well, if you got it, why aren't you getting it.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
We don't need any National Guard in our streets, not
in our Democrat led cities, Sarah le Kessler reports, first.

Speaker 8 (30:15):
It was to fight crime in Washington. Now Trump is
talking about sending the National Guard to Chicago, and Baltimore
Governor Cathy hopelessn't waiting for the President to move on
New York. She says she's spoken to him directly, the.

Speaker 7 (30:28):
President, I can give you all the dabt you need
to show that crime.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Is down here in New York. We don't need National Guard.
We have clearly shown crime is under control.

Speaker 8 (30:40):
Of Mayor Eric Adams and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tish put
it politely in a Monday meeting with Attorney General Pam Bondi,
telling her New York City doesn't need the extra help.
I'm Sarah Lee Kessler.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
Well, after two.

Speaker 2 (30:54):

a cabinet meeting.

Speaker 1 (31:02):

a terrific person.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
So I wish said a lot alone. Yeah, fingers crossed.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
The two remaining original members of Bad Company might be
performing it this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Drumor Simon Kirk tells metal music website Defenders of the
Faith that he hopes they will be able to play
at least one song. Kirk noted that frontman Paul Rodgers
health is not good. Kirk admits he doesn't know what
song they would play or who will induct Bad Company

PC in China. What we play today is very different
from the original, which used a slug, a snake, and
a frog. The rock is thrown the most, followed by paper,
then scissors. Women throw scissors, most men rock. There are
books on strategy and psychology as to what to play,
but it is just a simple game with three components.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
President Trump says he wants a death penalty for anybody
that commits a murder in Washington, DC. Cracker Barrel doesn't
wint eighty ditching that new logo. They have heard from
their customers, and I wonder if they're putting the old
Knickknacks back up on the wall as well. Taylor Swift
and Travis kelcey are have announced their engagement after two
years of dating. My wife instructing me today not to

(34:46):
be mean to Taylor Swift. I hope I achieved that.
She also asked me who the surprise guest is tomorrow,
and I told her, but I will not tell anyone else.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
She'll have to listen to find out.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
And Labor Day is upon us and a lot of
you have travel plans. Roy O'Neil are, your Morning National
correspondent is here with what to expect on the road
or at the airports. Aggravation I'm guessing Rory well some
of that.

Speaker 13 (35:08):
But you know what, these holidays they tend to have
a slow role to start, but they all come back
at the same time, so you'll probably find a lot
more frustration late Monday trying to end your trip. But
what we're seeing, according to Triple A, is a huge
surge in cruising, especially up to Alaska, so big visits
to Seattle and Vancouver where a lot of those ships
start their journeys. Also out of Miami and Texas, Louisiana, California,

(35:33):
even more Atlantic states from the mid Atlantic up to
New England. These cruises have gotten hugely popular at a
time or a couple of years. Anyway, after we thought
the industry would be killed off by COVID or we'd
all be on smaller ships.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Nope, not happening.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
There is a there is a documentary on Netflix that'll
make you not want to take a cruise, right. I
will tell you I have always flown the business. No
two cruises I've always wanted to do. My dad did
the Alaskan Cruise. I think you know, you fly into
Seattle and then you do Canada and Alaska, and then
there's one it's a Canard cruise, and I think it
starts in Barcelona, Spain, does all of Italy and as

(36:12):
and Athens, Greece. I got to get around to doing that.
But right now, I got three kids at university. I've
got two moms I'm taken care of. That's going to
have to wait. So cruises are back. Travel is good.
That's all the good sign. And we all have something.

Speaker 12 (36:26):
And prices bordered down just a hair or two, especially
hotels down all about eleven percent from a year ago.
A lot of good deals, and Travis and Taylor are engaged.
I thought you had one of the best points about that.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
We we all like a love story. There's enough bad
news out there. Here's something that's good so far. Great
reporting today, Rory, have a great day. We'll talk again tomorrow.
