Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can
be heard live each weekday morning five to eighth Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Nashville, Tennessee
two below, Mississippi and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be
a part of your morning routine and take the drive
to work with you, but better late than never. We're
grateful you're here now. Enjoy the podcast two.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Three, starting your morning off right.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in mistigation.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
This is your morning show with Michael Dell Truin regrets,
I've had a few. Do you have any financial regrets
in your life? Well? Who doesn't have financial regrets in
their life. One of my favorite scenes in Defending Your
Life with Albert Brooks was, you know, the montage of

(00:52):
all the bad financial decisions he ever made, Like when
the guy comes to him about, you know, investing in
Cassio for watches, which ended up being big for a
while and he turned it down. I mean, we all
have them, but Roy O'Neil says, you're not alone, and
he'll explain. I look forward to that later this hour.

(01:12):
Aaron Rawl's going to join us. As the next presidential
debate approaches, Donald Trump as a new media full We'll
find out who with Aaron coming up, and if you're
just waking up, former President Trump says he's reached an
agreement with Vice President Kamala Harris. I wonder if she's
going to bring Timmy along for the debate too. Her
woo be? Can I bring Timmy? I'll keep his mic off. Meanwhile,

(01:34):
she will finally have a sit down interview with Dana
Bash at CNN, and she's bringing Timmy with her. So
she's finally doing an interview and she's bringing her emotional
support VEEP with her. And former President Donald Trump is
adding RFK Junior and former congresswoman and presidential Democrat candidate
Tulsea Gabbard to his presidential transition team. That's pretty huge.

(01:56):
That's some of the top stories waking up this morning.
And Welcome to Wednesday, August twenty eighth, twenty twenty four
on the Aaron streaming live on your Iheard app. I'm
Michael del Jorno and this is your morning show, which
we can't have without your voice, which is why we
encourage people to make their voice heard using the iHeartRadio
app talkback button. I think that's what.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Tamer did, right, Michael, This is Tamra from Scottsville, Arizona.
We love your show every morning. I hear you mispronounced
Tammy Trujillo's last name.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
True he yo, like a Yoh what.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
I say? I think I say Trahio? Right, I think
Tammy Tricho, Yes, Trahio. Are we even saying it different?
She's saying yo more than a oh right? Yeah. Well,
let's do this like a referee wood. Let's get under
the hood. Okay, and let's let Tammy show how she
says her own name. Let's see what we hear. Let's
get it on.

Speaker 5 (02:54):
I'm Tammy Trheo, he said the administrator, Trehio.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
I think that's the way you say.

Speaker 5 (02:58):
It, Uncammy Trheo, Treho.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Now you do say ternader? Oh stop it. I did
that one time, and for all I know, I was
swatting a gnat speaking of nats our next talk back.
I had a gnat fly up my nose once. I
was scared for a week at laid eggs in there.
I couldn't get it out. Oh can that happen? Seriously? Now,
I got that to worry about. For those of you

(03:23):
that are just joining us, I had a gnat. Don't
even do it. It's not even funny, and that is
what it sounds like. It's funny to me, all right. So,
like two weeks ago I had this nat. Remember it
took like six days. In fact, I think he died
of old age. I don't even think I killed him.
Earlier this morning, I was like, you know, talking Liam
Neeson voice to him. I have a particular set of skills.

(03:43):
I will find you and I will kill you. But
I can't kill him, and I keep missing him. And
it's like, I know, like a psycho because on the
camera he doesn't show up and you just see me
reaching and stuff. So I thought you were doing Steve
Martin from the Jerk when he was trying to well,
I feel like one and I can't get him, and
he's biting me too from time to time. But I
didn't Now I had a word about I'm flying out

(04:03):
my nose and laying eggs. Yep. Uh, keep the talk.
By the way, does anybody ever have a serious talkback,
opinion or question or the perspective of the topics of
the show. I think, holy I just was going on,
and I mean, what do we do? We broke down,
hiding Biden in a basement, hiding Kamala in plain sight,

(04:26):
the silencing of all opposition voices using social media, which
once I was accused of making that up. Now Zuckerberg
makes it official. And what does it say about Zuckerberg?
And moving forward a little too late because Elon Muskow
and z X and you're already outed and too late
to the table, kind of like Kamala being for not
taxing tips after Donald Trump or building a wall after

(04:48):
Donald Trump. And then the comments are about a nat
laying eggs in my nose. Trehio versus Trahillo tricholo truck.

Speaker 5 (04:59):
Story doesn't happen again, untamny Trio.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
I think that's the way you say it. And she
was saying trihi yo. I should be saying yo, I
don't think so.

Speaker 5 (05:10):
This doesn't happen again, Untammed trho Yo.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
We should ask Aaron Reale she's married to someone Spanish.
I mean he be the correct, like I was calling Aaron.

Speaker 6 (05:21):
Her husband's that's his first language.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
You Spentish. I believe, yeah, she would be an expert.
Well yeah, because remember we were calling her Aaron Reel
for the longest time because it's our l and then
we found out, no, it's pronounced Rayale. It's her married name.
So but I think it's Trio. I don't know Tomato, Tomato.
Let's call the whole thing off. Jesse Waters is our
next stop. Jesse Waters has surprised me. There are times, uh,

(05:55):
his weakness comes through all right, and I can tell
he's about to step in it. But for the most part,
especially on the assassination, he was terrific. He has moments
of real brilliance. And I think, you know, kind of
like Tucker, you get too good and that's too powerful

(06:15):
for them. Somebody wants to cut you down. So they
managed to get rid of Tucker. Are they trying to
get rid of Jesse Waters? And what is the case
against him? So I'm on the I think it was
Daily Mail, and I mean on the Daily Mail, the
such a provocative headline, Jesse Waters and damage control after

(06:37):
sick sexual reference about Kamala Harris. Well I read that
and then like my first thought was in transparency before god,
oh my gosh, Jesse, what did you say a sick
sexual reference about Kamala Harris? What could he have possibly said,

(07:01):
then I read this story. Then as I scrolled down,
I see, oh, watch the entire clip. Don't mind if
I do.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Let's talk about foreign policy. What is her foreign policy?
And this is where the president has his most impacts.
You have a lot of room to maneuver there. As
commander and chief. We don't know who she is, we
don't know what she believes.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Of course, it's going to cut out right there.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
He's going to get paralyzed in the situation room while
the generals have their way with her right now, Jesse, Jesse,
I don't like that figuratively.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Again, Okay, they're joking. I've watched it five times and
this video is so aggravating. I'm not going to play
it for you again because it's bothering me more than
than that. But I listened to it three times. I
don't think he was going there. He was making an
overall thesis point, and then he was using evidence to

(07:57):
justify it. That's called an argument. So even at the
point he says, well, let's talk about where she stands
on issues, that's already joining it in progress and out
of context. But the context of the entire conversation is
if she doesn't know who she is and she doesn't
know where she stands. By the way, watch Thirteen Days,

(08:21):
the story of John F. Kennedy and the Cuban missile crisis.
What the generals were trying to do was have their
way with them, but it didn't work with Kennedy. I

(08:41):
don't even think, by the way, it's not even the
quote have their way with her. It's the facial expression,
it's the line of thought, it's the delivery. In fact,
it doesn't even dawn on him that somebody's taken it
a different way until jokingly the judge says, oh, Jesse,

(09:01):
stop it. And Dana Pirno, which, by the way, this
article makes it sound like even his co hosts were
shocked and outraged and called him on it. Why do
I bring that up? Because the more you watch it,
the more it's really on Judge Perino, and is it Pirino?
Dana Perino and Judge Piro. It's really more on them,

(09:24):
And you can tell by the look on his face
he didn't even it took him a second. Then he clicked, oh,
I know what you think you hear and he smiles
and laughs it off, and that puts his career in peril.
I brought up the analogy earlier of when Sarah Palin
said targeted districts a common expression in politics, but suddenly

(09:51):
for some that meant a threat of gun violence. Well,
that was certainly not intent. I bring this up because
the left controls the narrative and we say that all
the time, and they also weaponize the narrative, and once

(10:14):
it's a weapon, they've created a weapon that can only
be used on opponents, never on themselves. If you go
through that analogy, well, somebody on CNN probably has or
could have said the very same thing. It just wouldn't
have been prosecuted in other media. Did you hear what
Jesse Water said? I mean, if I'm wrong, and they

(10:39):
were joking about it off the air, and it was
set up to be a joke, Well then he showed
very poor judgment. It just didn't seem like it to me. Genuinely,
he could have just as easily said the generals will
run rough shot over. I guess they would have thought
that was a violent reference. I don't think that's what

(11:02):
he met. But is this going to be the new terms?
If we have a female president? Should we all be
thinking and looking over our shoulder, expressions we use every
day that might come across differently. Now, are they waiting
to pull the misogynistic trigger at any point? What can

(11:25):
we learn from Jesse Waters? And then another flip flop
for the Comma chameleon. Trump campaign on Tuesday pushed back
against the narrative within the media. The Vice President Harris
is taking a more positive approach to the border walkon.
First of all, she's been in charge of the border.
That's why I made such a big deal out of it.
Sixty four days into Biden's presidency, he finally has a
news conference and he hands the border to her. Well,

(11:47):
that wasn't just entrusting a key issue to his vice president.
That was sending a message to John Podesta. This whole
trojan horse game you played, hide me in a basement,
get me elected, make me step aside, so who couldn't
get elected because she was unlikable, can be the president
you really wanted. I'm not going anywhere. In fact, I'm
giving her the poison apple the border. Now her career

(12:08):
is ruined. Of course, only in America controlled by the
leftist narrative, it doesn't quite appear to be ruined. Just yet.
How much longer will the mainstream media allow Kamala Harris
to hide and use staff to speak on her behalf,

(12:29):
said Caroline leave It, the national press secretary for the
Trump campaign. It's day thirty seven of zero interviews, and
Kamala's anonymous campaign sources are now claiming she supports Trump's
border wall. This is a preposterous, in false claim. Axios

(12:49):
ran a headline on Tuesday morning that accused Harris of
a flip flop, her own constituents turning against her. Well,
the far left will turn against it because they like
open borders. They want you to abort children, not have children,
be afraid to have children. Think the world is going
to die if you have children, because you're choking it

(13:10):
with co two. But they'll welcome everybody else's but even Axios,
which is like saying the Washington Post, who then later
joined in. Harris is support of a bipartisan border security
bill introduced in January. The bill pushes funding to the
border while also authorizing limits on asylum entries.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
She's shifting.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
The package, which says support of the Biden administration, but
as far as it failed to drum up enough Republican
support to pass The Chamber also includes limited amounts of
funding for additional border wall construction, but it is just
a fraction of the twenty five billion former President Trump
byde for the project. So here's the bottom line. I
got cut to chase there. It's eighteen minutes afterward. Is

(13:59):
she lying? How insulting is that to the voting public.
I'll just tell you whatever you want to hear. I'll
just say anything because anything I've done or anything that
I believe shouldn't matter, doesn't matter or is a mystery.
So you might go, oh, well, I heard she's finding

(14:20):
going to do an interview with Dana Bash at CNN.
I'm sure that'll be hard hitting. Somebody just ask her,
where do you stand on border security and the wall?
That way she asked Dan. And she's bringing Timmy with
total bull as the Trump campaign rips the preposterous Harris

(14:42):
pro border wall narrative that I think, like tips for
not taxing tips on servers, is just beginning. Who is
she anything she needs to be in any given moment.
She's the comma chameleon. This is your Morning Show with

(15:07):
Michael Deltona. These are your top five stories of the day.

Speaker 7 (15:11):
Vice President Kamala Harris and her emotional support running mate
Minnesota Governor Tim Walls, are set to sit down with
CNN's bringing Tim in with it.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Brian Shook has more.

Speaker 8 (15:26):
The pair will be interviewed by CNN's chief political correspondent
and anchored Dana Bash in an interview to air at
nine pm Eastern on Thursday. Both Harris and Walls are
embarking on a bus tour through Georgia, with the interview
to be the first time Harris has sat down with
a journalist for an in depth talk since President Biden
dropped his bid for re election. I'm Brian Shook.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
It appears former President Donald Trump won his rules battle
and the debate is set more with Mark.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Mayfield, Republican National Committee coachair Laura Trump since the former
president can't wait to freeze Sarah.

Speaker 9 (16:00):
My understanding is that they have agreed to the exact
same terms that the Democrats dictated for the June twenty
seventh debate. They were very emphatic that Donald Trump agreed
to those rules.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
He said, okay.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
In a true social post, Trump said the debate will
be home on ABC News and the rules will be
the same as the debate between him and President Biden.
The former president said it'll be a stand up debate
and they can't bring any notes. CNN reports that microphones
will be muted when the other candidate speaks, and there'll
be no studio audience. This comes as the Trump and
Harris camps have been going back and forth over the

(16:30):
rules for the planned debate. I'm Mark Neefield.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Supreme Court Justice Katanja brown Jackson says the High Court
needs to be prepared to respond to this year's presidential election.
Lisa Taylor has the story.

Speaker 10 (16:41):
Brown Jackson told CBS News there are legal issues that
arise out of the political process that could end up
before the Supreme Court. Her interview comes as she's about
to release her memoir, Lovely One. Brown Jackson also addressed
her strong dissent from the Court's decision ruling that former
presidents have brought immunity. I only citailer.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Lit a corps of the yard Boy and My Morning
Shoe is your morning show with my buddy Michael del
Jorno if.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
You're just waking up. Former President Trump says he's reached
his agreement with Vice President Kamala Harris. It's the original
rules that were set, and the debate is officially on
in Pennsylvania on September tenth. Meanwhile, Vice President Harris and
her emotional support VEEP Tim Wallas, we'll sit down with CNN.

(17:28):
It'll be her first interview and it's a joint interview
and they never give up. Special Counsel Jack Smith files
a superseding double secret probation indictment charge against Donald Trump
for the January sixth election interference case. And I don't
know if this is better than being chosen to be VEEP.
Former President Donald Trump is add an RFK junior and

(17:49):
former Democratic congresswoman and Democratic presidential candidate Telsey Gabbard to
his presidential transition team. And if you're just waking up
as the next resident and his debate approaches, it appears
Donald Trump has a new media foe. I'm trying to
figure out, well, he's got to run against Kamala Timmy,

(18:10):
the DNC, ABC, NBC, CBSCNN, MSNBC, the Special Counsels, the
Justice Department. Who am I leaving out Aaron Reale?

Speaker 11 (18:22):
That's a long lest, probably a lot, you know what
I mean? It probably goes on and on, but we
know that Trump has you know, taken aim at almost
every major media outlet right now, ABC, they're in the
current crosshairs as a former president.

Speaker 12 (18:38):
That's his punching bag. At the moment, this debate on
September tenth, which looks likely to happen, is going to
be hosted by ABC. Min you he is doing anchor
George Stephanopolis. At the moment, he says that one of
the major executives at ABC, Dana Walden, is buddy buddy
with Kamala Harris. She is in fact friends with Kamala Harris,
as is her husband, and he's friends with m Hoff.

(18:59):
But the idea that this particular executive would slip her
the questions has been floated. However, apparently this woman, missus Walden,
has not seen Kamala Harris since twenty twenty two. She
has declined all invitations to events for this very reason.
They didn't want there to be this conflict of interest.
But beyond that, what we know is that this debate,

(19:20):
they're now griping over the logistics. Trump his pamp not
Trump himself, but his camp would like the MIC's muted
because he looks much more statesman like, much more presidential
when he's not saying mean, bullying, childdish things while the
other person's trying to finish their answer. It ends up
making him look much better. He said himself yesterday, he'd
like a hot mic, and know what, Kamala Harris is

(19:42):
happy to allow himself enough rope to potentially hang himself
with it, which is why she's like her Camp says, yeah,
keep the mic flive if he wants something. She like
that it helps her and hurts him.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
I am from the beginning of your Morning Show, which
goes back to October of last year, said it's not
going to be Joe Biden. That was not a surprise
for me. I've had a lot of people tell me, Oh,
you're crazy. It's gonna be Joe Biden. It's gonna be
a rematch. You better get used to it now. Joe
Biden's gonna go away the way in which he went away,
I mean, the whole setup of a debate in June.
Why are we having a presidential debate before conventions? Well

(20:14):
so that Joe Biden could, you know, reveal his cognitive
impairment for all of America to see, so they could
get rid of him, coronate someone new unite and do
a big convention just the way I played. Now, I
will admit I assumed that they would be waltzing and
Gavin Newsom or maybe the governor from Maryland. I did
not see Kamala Harris coming because in the polling she

(20:37):
was the only thing worse than Joe Biden. So what
they pulled off I certainly respect, and that that part
shocked me. There is another little interesting surprise, and that
was the rules for that debate, which at the time
was remember to aid Joe Biden, Right, We're gonna have
the muted mikes because if he's cognitively impaired, we can't

(20:57):
have noises coming at him from every direction, which is
why we go and have a studio audience, so on
and so forth. And you know what ended up happening.
Happening a substantive debate. Now, I understand that the cognitive
impairment played the role that played, and that's unfortunate. But
had it not, what you would have had is candidates
answering questions and the American people being able to vet.
Isn't it interesting that it took the dysfunction of President

(21:21):
Biden to create a style of debate we haven't seen
since Nixon Kennedy. It ends up being great for the
American people, great for Donald Trump. And now they're still
fighting about and it looks like the rules are going
to be set. They're going to be the original rules.
But it's been a crazy year, Aaron, and I mean
to try to prognosticate what's coming. Look at the end

(21:45):
of the day, I can't you know whether we go
her husband and Doug's friendship seems to be the real glue.
And then you got the wives that are friends. That's
nothing compared to George Stepanopholis, who is a Democrat operative
pretending to be a morning show host, Like who was
the guy when I was growing up when on ABC

(22:05):
Good Morning America with a deep voice. He was always
with John London. But you know, just pretending to be
some kind of you know, happy smiley face in the
morning when he's a political operative. Now we have political
operatives on all the networks. I get that Axel Rod
is every night, Van Jones is every night, but at
least they're in a political show setting, not a news
and moderator setting. So you know, yeah, ABC and Disney,

(22:28):
they have their agenda that they stink to high heaven.
But you know, I think if they stick with this,
isn't it ironic that this new style of debate seems
to be the most effective for us, we the people,
which is really all.

Speaker 12 (22:40):
That matters, all that matters, and frankly we deserve it.
We're the voting population, Like, how come we can't? Why
why are we being manipulated?

Speaker 5 (22:51):
Because it serves them?

Speaker 1 (22:52):
And I would leave this as a criticism coming from me,
not from you, so this doesn't get penned on you.
I think both sides are guilty of this, making it
about them and not us. And somebody can on me.

Speaker 12 (23:03):
I couldn't agree with you, meought on.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
So you know, all of them need to grow up.
And Robert F. Kennedy Junior and to a great degree,
Telsey Gabbard are the only two serious people who have
made this election about us and not the campid You
know what I mean? Right, But we'll see how this
debate goes. And I and the other thing is it
looks like we're only going to have one. I mean
that's kind of taking shape.

Speaker 5 (23:26):
Not okay, we need threate.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Forty two minutes after the hour. If you're just waking
up these are are your top five stories of the day.
No Trump appears to be the early rules winner. Brian
Shook as our road to the debate, I mean our
road to the White House.

Speaker 8 (23:45):
Road to the White House. Twenty twenty four. Former President
Trump says he's reached an agreement with Vice President Kamala
Harris related to the September tenth debate in Pennsylvania. Republican
National Committee coachair Laura Trump says the former president can't
wait to face Harris.

Speaker 9 (24:02):
My understanding is that they have agreed to the exact
same terms that the Democrats dictated for the June twenty
seventh debate. They were very emphatic that Donald Trump agreed
to those rules.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
He said, okay.

Speaker 8 (24:12):
In a truth social post, Trump said the debate will
be held on ABC News and the rules will be
the same as the debate between he and President Biden.
CNN reports that microphones will be muted when the other
candidate speaks, and there'll be no studio audience in Washington.
I'm Brian Shook. Sn't that interesting what you just heard?

Speaker 1 (24:33):
All right? So they've agreed to rules, Well what rules?
The original rules or the rules that Harris wanted to
change them to it appears to be the original rules
and the same rules as the Biden debate. That means
no studio audience and muted mikes. I think I don't
know if it's a victory for I think it's a
victory for Donald Trump and especially for we the people.

(24:54):
Israel says its forces have rescued a hostage being held
by Hamas. Michael Kasner reports.

Speaker 6 (25:00):
The rescue happened as part of what officials described as
a complex operation in Southern Gaza. More from Matt Bradley
in Tel Aviv.

Speaker 13 (25:07):
Yeah, his name is cottin Farhan al Kadi. He's fifty
two years old. He's a member of the Bedouin Arab
minority here in Israel. You know, he's been held since
October seventh, well more than three hundred days, and he
was rescued by special forces from a tunnel in the
Southern Gaza strip.

Speaker 6 (25:25):
Hamas is believed to still be holding more than one
hundred hostages who were taken during the October seventh attacks
on Israel. I'm Michael Kasner.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
Supreme Court Justice Katanji Brown Jackson says the High Court
needs to be prepared to respond to this year's presidential election.
Lisa Taylor has.

Speaker 10 (25:40):
More Brown Jackson sold CBS News there are legal issues
that arise out of the political process that could end
up before the Supreme Court. Her interview comes as she's
about to release her memoir, Lovely One. Brown Jackson also
addressed her strong dissent from the Court's decision ruling that
former presidents have brought immunity only City Tailor.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
President Donald Trump is adding our Fi Junior and former
Democratic congresswoman and presidential candidate Telsea Gabbert to his presidential
transition team. That's according to a Trump spokesperson. Kennedy Junior
and Gabbard both endorsed former President Donald Trump in his
bid for the White House. The transitions team's responsibility is
to make policy and staffing decisions if Trump should go

(26:19):
on to defeat Kamala Harris in November. Kennedy Junior suspended
his independent campaign in the past week. Speaking of former
President Trump, he's offering a chance to own a piece
of the suit Hee war during the debate with President Biden.
For new digital trading cards. Trump announced on True's social
a trading cards series called The American First Collection. It

(26:41):
includes fifty new Trump images, but it's about us, he said.
People who buy fifteen or more of the ninety nine
dollars digital cards will receive a physical one that features
a small piece of the SUITI war. Have you ever
seen the baseball cards, Jeffrey where they have you know,
the baseball card baseball player. Then there's just like a
little teeny square of like his jersey. You know, it's

(27:05):
going to be like one of those. If someone were
to purchase seventy five cards, they could get the opportunity
to join Trump at a dinner at his country club
in Florida. Interesting way to step up the fundraising. A
little known disease called sloth fever, which I think I've
been suffering from this week on a Netflix binge. Sloth

(27:29):
fever is causing concerns across America. Sarahle Kessler as that story.

Speaker 10 (27:33):
The CDC says Florida has reported nine sloth fever cases
in a week, while New York has confirmed one. All
the cases are related to international travel, which health experts
warn is a troubling sign as people return home from
summer vacations. Sloth fever can be deadly and is well
known in Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia and Cuba, is spread

(27:57):
by the Oripouche virus and transmits from forest animals, likes
loss to rodents than mosquitoes, and finally to people. The CDC, though,
says there's no evidence of local transmission.

Speaker 5 (28:09):
I'm Sarah Lee Kessler.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
All right, Tampa won last night three to two over
the Seattle Mariners. That's one four to two over my Yankees,
Cleveland six to one over the Royals. The Padres beat
the Cardinals seven to five, Dbax eight to five, lost
to the Mets, and the Rangers were postponed. Hey, it's
me Michael. Your morning show is heard live from five
to eight am Central, six to nine am Eastern, three
to six am Pacific on great radio stations like News

(28:33):
Radio eleven ninety k EX in Portland, News Talk five
point fifty k FYI, and Phoenix, Arizona Freedom one oh
four seven in Washington, d C. We'd love to have
you join us live in the morning, even take us
along on the drive to work, but better late than never.
Enjoyed the podcast, I'm Michael. Jeffery's got the controls and
say hello to my little friend Rory O'Neil, which, by
the way, Rory and Aaron both today get the award

(28:55):
for what happens off the air, being more interested than
their reselection. So I'm talking to Erin earlier, and I
will not reveal the names for privacy purposes, but I mean,
all of a sudden, one of one of her her
son barges in. So I started, I start talking to him.
Then the sister barges and I start talking to her
that it's time for us to do our our thing.

(29:16):
And it was far more the listeners would have enjoyed that.
Mike I was doing like art link letter interview with
the kids. And then and then you tell I don't
know if that's for on air though, but wordle is
a big deal in my house. It's my my wife
and my son. They're fiercely competitive over wordle. And I
always hear that anecdotally in the background. I got it too,

(29:37):
Uh you know, don't tell me and you know, and
then the co give like his hint word or something
to ruin it. But you do something that's really so.
Rory is in a particular city where he's on every morning,
and you work the wordle word of the day in
into my Some days it's harder than others. I got
it like getting canoe with I was gonna the breach

(30:00):
started and I couldn't finish my question, which was, so,
how does like, if your brother's listening in Boston, how
does he know which one's the word A word?

Speaker 14 (30:07):
Well, it depends on whether he got up early in
order to play it or not, or does he catch it,
and that kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
So it's more for my own mental gymnastics, because.

Speaker 14 (30:14):
I'll talk to people, you know, hosts like you about
twenty five thirty five times at the day.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Yeah, for my own little mental health.

Speaker 14 (30:22):
I have to do something to my wife and I
and the repetition, and there you go.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
That's what my wife and I used to do whenever
I would publicly speak, which you know I like publicly speak.
Publicly speaking, it just gets you know, when the world
went politically partisanly crazy, I was less invited everywhere, so
I'd have to do it. But we used to do
that for my sanity. You know. She would give me
what she thought would be an impossible word to mix

(30:46):
into the speech, and I would find a way to
do it. And day was difficult. I'm not going to
say the word sorry. The day was difficent.

Speaker 14 (30:54):
We could talk about it tomorrow, but just how difficult
it was to get today's.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
But then it just so happened.

Speaker 14 (30:59):
He teed me up with a perfect question that made
it easiest by I mean, if all.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
The words in the world, how do you ever get it?
And won? And I think my son's done about four times?
I mean you got a great Oh, come on, he cheats.
No he doesn't. I'm telling you just he's very lucky
with the weird word you start with in getting it'll
show you how many letters are in it and in
order and not in order. And he's actually got on

(31:23):
one several times. Maybe maybe he's listening to you. In Boston.

Speaker 14 (31:28):
I've got a niece who was away at college, and
her mom and my sister and my brother. We all
played against each other, and it really is just a
way to keep tabs on my niece because when if
she's played the world all that day, that means she's fine.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
So I had a general manager I couldn't stand over
the years. I had a mass to four oh one K,
and then I had a masked stocks in the company
and I just blew it and left and went somewhere
else and walked away from it all. WLS hired me
to be the program director of the station I grew

(32:01):
up listening to, and I said no, and I'll never remember.
I'll never forget the general manager screaming at me. You're
saying no to a bas you got them regrets? I've
had a few. But then again, oh, I could do
a whole of their segment, hold you over till after
the news. Financial regrets? We all have them, right, not everyone? Remarkably.

Speaker 14 (32:23):
In this bank rate survey, though, they found that really
two and five Americans have some sort of regret. Mostly
it's not starting saving early enough. Others say they should
have some better emergency funds set aside.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Is it just in case?

Speaker 14 (32:37):
But I'd love to meet the eighteen percent who say
they have no financial regrets.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
They are either the a, the most boring people in
the world.

Speaker 14 (32:45):
They seed it wordle that's for sure, orby had the
richest parents and it didn't matter.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
I think of all of them, well, I think the
two I stated were big ones. They would have changed
the trajectory in my life. I have no regrets whatsoever.
If I had have gone to w well, as I
just married Andrea, we probably wouldn't be married, I wouldn't
have my three children. Probably the best decision of my life.
The walking away from that one job was a big
regret and sticks with me. And that's it and you

(33:12):
learn from it and you move on. I can tell
you this, the blessings of God despite all my mistakes
always trump pardon the pun any of my regrets. But
if there's one I would throw out there for others.
If you're young right now, I would tell you from
the very beginning. Personally, I believe in tithing, so that's first.
Then I put twenty percent towards retirement, and then I'm

(33:33):
always until you get to a point where you have
six months expenses covered, you should you know, be using
get yourself there five to ten percent at a time
towards a savings fund. The one I would tell young
people right now, and it is a great regret long
term care insurance, so that when you're older and in
a blink you will be you will be able to
provide the care for yourself or for your spouse that they.

Speaker 14 (33:55):
Need and them and not getting into credit card debt
makes all those options so much easier.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Oh, the Dave Ramsey effect. Regrets. We've had a few.
What is the world today? Go ahead, blow up for everyone. No,
I'm not going to do it. All right, We're all
in this together. This is your Morning Show with Michael Ndheld.
