Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael del Jorno, and your morning show can
be heard live as it's happening five to eight am
Central and six to nine Eastern on great stations like
six twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or Akron's News Talk
six forty WHLO and Akron, Ohio and News Radio five
seventy WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a
part of your morning routine, but we're glad you're here
(00:21):
now enjoyed the podcast. Something happened in twenty sixteen, far
more significant than Donald Trump's upset victory over Hillary Clinton.
There was a blatant death of journalism. I mean, no
longer do we nuance our bias, hide and deny our
bias right out for everyone to see. Remember after the election,
the tantrums that were happening, the crying live on the screen,
(00:46):
and since then it's continued to be an in your
face battle. You know, watching the convention last night, the
most memorable thing. This is why I struggle with memories
from last night, because there were so many great moments.
Was flicking back back and forth from Fox to CNN.
Fox would have a headline like you know, Trump unites
(01:10):
people of all parties or historic Donald Trump rally in
Madison Square Guard and you flip over to CNN. Trump
leans into racism. Trump continues with media conspiracy theories. Now,
I take the social dilemma very seriously. It is creating
(01:34):
a divided house that potentially cannot stand, that is playing
with the fires of potential civil war. Social media has
led to that a narcissism of self on us versus
them mentality. But they literally live in a matrix, two separate,
(01:56):
complete realities. Whether it's those that you have unfriended and
still friends with who all watch the same things, believe
the same things, read the same things, share the same things,
or the other side doing the same or whether it's
watching reality through the lens of Fox versus CNN. So really,
(02:21):
the social dilemma and the matrix plus the death of journalism,
it's a double whammy. But I'll give you a great example.
No matter where you watch the Trump rally from Madison
Square Garden, nothing is as significant as three hours with
(02:42):
Joe Rogan. Donald Trump was able to reach so many
more people in one city than everything else combined. There
is a real message of reality here. Actually Jeffrey has
the clip somewhere. We now have it so you can
(03:03):
hear it. Oh dude, I see dead people. Yeah, I've
got that one, and they're everywhere. But the best part
about that quote is what he finishes with, They're dead,
but they don't know they're dead. I see dead people,
we don't know they're dead. That's ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC,
(03:29):
that's Fox. That's all of them. They still think everybody's watching,
they still think everybody's influenced by them. They're dead and
they don't know it. So for all the Shenanigans of
CNN last night, I'm sitting there thinking, and what are
(03:50):
they reaching? Seventy five thousand people tops one hundred thousand,
I don't know. In some cases, these national cable networks
in prime time have ratings lower than my twenty five
to fifty four numbers in Tulsa, Oklahoma, back in nineteen
ninety three. To dead they don't know it. Joe Rogan
(04:16):
Experience is the most watched podcast globally, has a whopping
fourteen and a half million Spotify followers, seventeen and a
half million YouTube subscribers. I mean, there's no really even
predicting easily before you ever get to social media. Shares, tweets,
retweets thirty million, Over thirty million were reached instantly, three hours, uninterrupted,
(04:44):
no need for a spin room, no need for a
network to tell you how despicable the man is. Joe
Rogan would sit down for three hours with Kamala Harris too,
and it wouldn't be adversarial for one, endearing for another.
(05:06):
How do we not know why? Well? Joe Rogan's Donald
Trump episode wracked up twenty six million views in the
first twenty four hours. It has over four hundred and
twenty nine thousand comments. That's probably more than Wow on
any given night. Fox, CNN, MSNBC combined just the comments
(05:32):
to show you what Donald Trump brings to the table.
Rogan episode's most ten most watched were between twenty seven
and sixty eight million times on YouTube. So who knows
what this will be before it's over. It is a
(05:56):
sign of the times. I made two stunning predictions before
I left one place of employment and started at a new one.
One of the two parties will be gone by the
end of the decade that's still waiting to be shaped.
(06:19):
The other prediction was that if talk radio isn't careful,
it'll be gone too by the end of the decade,
mainly because, with the exception of the company I work for,
most of these companies that run most of the talk
stations are adversarial. Just another thing that the outcome of
(06:41):
this election will have a final say on. If Donald
Trump does win, if that puts jd Vance in a
place to win two terms and then potentially whoever his
running mate is, Tulsey Gabbard another two terms. What is
(07:09):
the future of the Democrat Party if they lose this
race because of how they lost it, weaponizing COVID, hiding Joe,
hiding his cognitive impairment, throwing him out, giving it all
to Kamala, hiding her in plain sight, then exposing her
because you couldn't hide her any longer. And in the
(07:32):
end your voters are like this party's nuts. How relevant
will will the Democrat Party after this election be about
as relevant as the media was after the twenty sixteen election.
That's what stunningly played out this weekend. It's watching an
(07:55):
old repeat of George Foreman and Muhammad Ali. It was
amazing how quick those combinations from Lee would just lead
with his right instead of his left, and put it
together with a left and a right, I mean George
Foremer like it was like Goliath and Ali wore him
down and took him out. And I couldn't help think
of what a left right combination it was. First Joe
(08:18):
Rogan thirty million. Then back home in New York City,
Midtown Manhattan, Madison Square Garden sold out twenty thousand inside
it like a convention at a rally, another seventy five
thousand outside. And then watching CNN try to make these
(08:39):
little comments, you know, being dead and not knowing it
at all, but Joe Rogan, who knows what this would be?
Thirty sixty million, followed by that convention. Well, we sum
up segment one of Monday, October the twenty eighth with
that's a heck of a weekend for Donald Trump with
one week to go. This is your Morning Show with
(09:02):
Michael del Trona. It is Monday, October the twenty eighth,
and this is your morning show. I'm Michael Deltronal. Jeffrey
Lyons as the controls. I have air conditioning. He doesn't.
It's what's sake a moment and ponder how wonderful it
is to be me. Okay, that's over. It looked more
like a convention last night than just another Donald Trump rally.
I mean, wow, But.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I'm thrilled to be back in the city I love
and thousands of proud, hardworking American patriots. You're with me.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
We're all together, We've always been together.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
And I'd like to begin by asking a very simple question,
are you better off now than you were four years ago?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
See, there were a lot of people at the rally,
over twenty thousand inside, seventy five thousand lined all the
way to the river outside. And as impressive as that is,
and they don't even have to fake a concert or
bring stars along with them, that's really the question that matters.
And see, whether you're a Democrat, an independent, or Republican,
(10:10):
a liberal or conservative, it really doesn't matter if you
like Donald Trump the answer to that question. So it's
difficult or not so difficult. About seven and ten Americans
think we're heading in the wrong direction. It's pretty strong
place to start, but he just kept going.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
This election is a choice between whether we will have
four more years of gross incompetence and failure, or whether
we will begin the four greatest years in the history
of our country. This will be America's new Golden Age.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
It's going to happen quickly, too very quickly.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Every problem facing us can be solved. But now the
fate of our nation is in your hands. Next Tuesday,
you have to stand up and you have to tell
Coamala Harris that you've done a terrible job. That crooked
Joe Biden has done a terrible job. You've destroyed our country.
(11:26):
We're not going to take it anymore.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Pamela.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
If you're fired, get out, get out, You're fired.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
It was just compare that to Kamala at church this weekend.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Weeping may endor for a night, but joy cometh in
the morning. Why the hat may seem hard, the work
may seem heavy, but joy cometh in the morning. And
church morning is on its way.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
There with the suge of abortion. And by the way,
if you had de chavou, this isn't the first woman
that suddenly gets black at a black church congregation, starts
using a different voice and starts talking like an idiot.
I suspect days before she loses two. Because this is
(12:22):
like deja vu all over again. Here's Hillary Clinton. I
don't feel no ways tired. Okay, I still think that's
the worst this is Hillary tried to out. I don't
know racially, you know, like you wouldn't notice Wald though
here I come too far from where I started from.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Nobody told me that the road would be easy. I
don't believe he brought me this far to leave me.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
And then there's the kamal aversion may.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Endor or night, but joy cometh in the morning.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I mean somewhere Tim Wallas is even saying this is weird,
weird and insulting. I would think the desperate lefts death gurgles,
they always sound the same, but for Kable, this is
(13:26):
a fifth different accent. I'll grant her.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
That the path may seem hard, the work may seem heavy,
but joy cometh in the morning. Yeah, and church morning
is on its way.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Thank god, it's on its way a week from tomorrow.
One of my favorite stories from over the weekend was
basically looking at how the Democrats throughout Joe and are
now icing out Joe. And there's so much to the
(14:02):
throwing out you don't need me to relitigate that for you. Look,
if Joe's had a cognitive impairment, whether it's dementia, or
Parkinson's or whatever it is. Why have they been hiding
it for four years? And if they have to go
to Kamala, why didn't she let us know? These are
(14:27):
the questions that they can't answer, not for America but
for their voters. That's the real death of this entire
election cycle. Then there's been oddities on both sides, I'll
grant you. I mean, because of their weaponizing of the
Justice Department and harassment of Donald Trump. He was stuck
in court with a gag order throughout the primary and
(14:47):
still one, never appeared in a single debate and still one,
and tied up in court united his party before the
convention even arrived. That's odd. But what the Democrats did
on press the death of their own primary process. And
you know there are some that will get on and
remember they're dead and they don't know it the mainstream
(15:10):
media and defend this. Hey, look, the party has any
rights to do whatever it wants. Well, you just told
your voters that the party belongs to you, and we're
going to have primaries state after state after state for months,
and you're going to choose their nominee. Then we're going
to unite at the convention. We're going to leave energized
and we're going to go win the election. But instead
(15:31):
they hid from their own supporters the cognitive inabilities of
Joe Biden or his polling inabilities, and just erase their
votes like they didn't even matter. They forced Joe out.
He's bitter, he's been getting even ever since, and now
(15:53):
they're icing him out of the final stretch. Now that
that takes a pause, doesn't it, Because there are a
lot of Democrats that are feeling like they've been bait
and switched. Wait, we voted for Joe Biden, and then
you decide to get rid of Joe, and so Joe
steps out of the race, and then you just give
(16:14):
him our vote. You don't ask us who we want
if not him, and then you give us combat. Now,
this gets way worse if Kamala Harris goes on to lose,
way worse. Like remember when I said earlier, I said,
I really sensed the one or both parties will be
gone by the end of the decade. This one's in
trouble after this plays out. It's got problems with its
(16:35):
own constituency. Never mind, for a second time, you were
going to choose Bernie Sanders. We inserted Joe, then we
hit him in a basement. Then we did a shadow
campaign to save the democracy. This is their words, weaponizing COVID,
controlling the narrative with the media, controlling any opposing views
(16:56):
by controlling the Internet. And we hid Joe in one
Then we hid Joe as president. Then we couldn't hide
him anymore because he was doing bad in the polls.
So we shoved him out in an early, unprecedented historic
debate in June before both conventions. No, we need flop,
so we could throw him in the trunk, introduce Kamala
(17:18):
and just hand her all of his delegates. Now go
be united and energized for a general election while we
play Boogeyman with Donald Trump. I mean, the biggest joke
was this weekend, right, this is going to be a
according to Hillary Clinton, this is going to be a
Nazi gathering at the Madison Square Garden. It ends up
(17:42):
being one of the greatest political events prior to an election.
And meanwhile, what was Kamala doing doing her best impression
of Hillary Clinton? I presume whatever that was. Juggle come in.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
The morning, weeping may in door fortnight, my joy cometh
in the morning.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Is she gonna do the I have a dream when
she gets to the ellipse, it watch she didn't? Easy.
So Donald Trump with the ultimate one two punch a
week before the election, and there's no telling. I mean,
we know fourteen and a half million Spotify followers. We
know there's seventeen and a half million watched it on YouTube.
That's a total of thirty million. We know there was
(18:29):
four hundred and twenty nine thousand comments. That's probably more
than they're gonna watch her from the Ellipse. And if
you think Donald Trump's before this contentious election would be
maybe one of Rogan's top ten, you're looking at over
sixty eight million people are gonna watch that three hour
uninterrupted interview. Sixty million people. That's the Adam Bama this war.
(18:59):
But I'm not so certain that day at Madison Square
Garden last night either.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I'm Jim Schultz in Tampa and my morning show is
your Morning Show with Michael gil Zorno.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Aary'e Al's going to join us in a moment on
the discussions about the Washington Post in the La Times
withholding presidential endorsements, which is laughable, right these newspapers endorse
a worldview, a particular party and its candidates three hundred
and sixty four days a year, but no that one
election day. We're going to show some restraint. As for
(19:32):
Vice President Harris, she may not have their endorsements, but
she does hit the campaign trail was her extensive religious background,
Mark Mayfield has more.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
Speaking at Philadelphia's Church of Christian Compassion on Sunday morning,
she urged numbers of the congregation to exercise their right
to vote.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
We have the power to decide the fate of our
nation for generations to come.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
She went on to share stories of her childhood attending
worship services in Oakland, saying those religious teachings still guide
her political career today. At one point, Harris replied to
what seemed to be chanting protesters, saying that's why we
fight for our democracy and appearing to support the protesters'
First Amendment rights. I'm Mark Mayfield, and.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Then went on to do her best impersonation of Hillary
Clinton's impersonation of Martin Luther King Junior.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Weeping may endure for night, but joy cometh in the morning.
The path may seem hard, the work may seem heavy,
but joy cometh.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
In the morning. Meanwhile, Donald Trump had a rally with
twenty thousand inside the Madison Square Garden Arena, another seventy
five thousand outside, And that's after about thirty something thirty
seven million have already watched his one on one three
hour visit with Joe Rogan, which may go all the
way after tweets and retweets and the way the top
ten rogans have ever played out closer to sixty million. Well,
(20:55):
there's a federal judge that isn't going to grant a
gag order just yet in the Sean diddycomb sex trafficking case.
Chris Garagio has details.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
Diddy's lawyers requested a gag order be placed against government
agencies who were investigating his case. They claim federal employees
have been leaking information to the news media. On Friday,
a Manhattan judge announced he would not impose a gag order,
releasing a statement saying he's found no evidence of wrongdoing
so far. The judge also said both sides are expected
to abide by existing laws which prohibit lawyers or investigators
(21:29):
from revealing information that would interfere with a fair trial.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I'm Chris Gragio. Well, there's overdue, and then there's long overdue.
David fauk Thomas reports.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
ABC seven reports a woman clearing out her bookshelf in
Colorado came across a copy of Shakespeare's Life of King
Henry the Fifth, which her grandmother had given to her
back in nineteen fifty five.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
A library card.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
Inside the book said it was due back to the
public Library in Patterson on February first, nineteen twenty three.
Sin's name on the card who checked out the book
was not recognized by the woman who found it. After
it was returned, the library waived the ten cents a
day late fee, which totaled nearly thirty nine hundred dollars.
David fok Thomas, NBC News Radio, New York.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
And as I mentioned, there's a lot of discussion about
the Washington Post in the La Times withholding their presidential endorsement.
What happened at those newspapers and should an objective news
organization take sides politically? Well, that presumes either of them
are objective. But Aaron Rayal is here today with our
top story good Morning erin yes.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Not presumes either of them are objective, And I think
there in lies the silly part. So a little bit
of recent history. Washington Times, you know, coming out, excuse me,
Washington Post, LA Times both coming out and not endorsing
a candidate, and the editorial boards are freaking out. If
you look at twenty sixteen twenty twenty, both endorsed Clinton
and Biden. Now fast forward to twenty nineteen, there was
(22:54):
a lawsuit. Amazon claimed that it lost ten billion in
cloud computing contracts with the Pentagon two microcos off because
Trump improperly pressured those and that he perceived as his
political enemies about being Jeff Bezos to you know, not
not go with basis. This is what happens when you
have billionaires who owned all this stuff also own the newspapers.
(23:15):
They tend to have some overlaps. So the argument being
from like the editorial board, is that this is a
financial decision, and like that he's doing this because he
doesn't want another ten billion bucks left on the table
because of his opinion. Now, the publisher of the Post,
Will Lewis, came out and said the Washington Post will
not be making an endorsement nor any further election. I
(23:38):
read his whole rebuttal to the editorial board. It's strong
and basically he says that it should be independent. Again,
this is assuming that it's independent. I think, Michael and
you might agree with this.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
So much of this is.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Where you're really post editorial board. You thought that your
opinion and your endorsement was going to like move the
needle here. Listen, it's a newspaper. The folks getting it
can read and they, yeah, your rail sections are great
and they should exist.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
We're getting cut out with your microphone. But I get
the point you're making. So Number one, they're biased three
hundred and sixty four days a year, but not that
one day a year. We won't do it on that
one day of year, all right, So that's like celebrating
Christmas every day but Christmas Day. I don't know if
that changes anything for them. But I want to look
at the liberal publication the Nation, which did early on
(24:29):
endorse Kamala Harris and now regrets it. Why because a
lot of their people spoke against it. Why because she's
not progressive enough? I mean, could it be that the
Washington Post in the La Times. This is that Israel
problem among others rearing its head once again, that they
can't lose for losing, because if they endorse her. There's
even far more progressive readers that don't think she's progressive enough,
(24:54):
so they can't win for losing if they endorse her.
I mean, I think that may be part of it too,
but I think I think you nailed The other is
the influence and revenue.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
But also, like, I don't think that many people are
that progressive. Frankly, I think it's a loud minority. I
think most people, truly, most people just want the stuff
to work and they don't want it to be crazy.
Like most people feel that way. And again, should papers
be endorsing any candidate at all? It's so weird if
you're actually doing what you're designed to do. No, what, No, Like,
(25:24):
why would we ever do that in the first place.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Well, it's to me, it ends with it's a tree
that falls in a forest and no one's there. Does
it make a sound? I mean, who really cares? You
said it earlier? They have no influence. I mean, I
use the example from the sixth Sense movie. I see
dead people and they're everywhere, and they don't know they're dead.
These newspapers don't know that they're dead. I mean, what
(25:47):
Donald Trump achieved on Joe Rogan, This weekend compared to
their subscription, let alone his influence versus their influence. It
really doesn't matter, but it is. It is somewhat of
a joke. We're all in this together. This is your
Morning Show with Michael Mintel. Joyno
