Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show airs live five to eight am Central
six to nine Eastern in great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happier here now. Enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
This is your Morning Show with Michael Delchain.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Hey, Mike, this is Dallas in Florida. I just want
to give you a shout out for your.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
Precision and ultimate professionalism when everything goes around you calling
everyone down.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
I'm pretty sure I appreciate that out of here in
the world. Have a great day, brother. I don't know
if that has to do with a culture and a
country falling apart or one my whole computer crashed in
the middle of a newscast, but either way I'll take
the compliment. Thank you, Dallas in Florida. Appreciate you listening
eight minutes after the hour for just waking up. Next hour,
we're going to visit with Brett Baer from Fox News.

(01:05):
He's out with a new book to Rescue the American Spirit.
Teddy Roosevelt and the birth of a superpower. You're probably wondering,
why do we want to talk about Teddy? You know more,
You've experienced, more about Teddy Roosevelt than you think. And
we'll even ask him if he's leaving for CBS. So
stick around for that. Sounds a day coming up next
half hour. If you're just waking up. Melissa pounded Jamaica,

(01:28):
we'll get the latest with Rory in terms of death toll.
I know there's some five hundred and something thousand without power.
If there was any silver lining in this left Jamaica
a Cat four and arrived in Cuba a Cat three,
where seven hundred and fifty thousand had already evacuated. A
hurricane expert, National correspondent Rory R. O'Neil is here. This

(01:50):
strong storm proved to be a very strong storm.

Speaker 5 (01:54):
Right and you know, coming ashore with one hundred and
eighty five miles for hour winds and gush well over
two hundred and ten miles per hour, just remarkable stuff.
And as you said, it has gotten a bit weaker,
coming ashore for a second time in Cuba about four
hours ago. And the good news here is that Melissa

(02:14):
is picking up forward speed, so now it's moving at
about twelve miles per hour.

Speaker 6 (02:19):
Yesterday at this time it was only.

Speaker 5 (02:20):
About five miles per hour, meaning there's more time for
the storms devastating winds to do damage, more time for
rain to cause more flooding.

Speaker 6 (02:29):
So now it's picking up speed, should be.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
In the Bahamas later today, could be impacting Bermuda tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Not a threat to the US mainland.

Speaker 5 (02:37):
But we're really waiting for the sun to come up
across Jamaica to get a better.

Speaker 6 (02:40):
Idea as to exactly what Melissa did to the island.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, do we have any update beyond I saw earlier
a death toll of at least seven, though it is
expected to rise.

Speaker 5 (02:50):
Do we know any more about that? Yeah, we really don't,
and that's across the Caribbean. Most of that those deaths,
sadly were during getting ready for the storm, not even
after it made landfall.

Speaker 6 (03:01):
So look, the good.

Speaker 5 (03:04):
News as well is that we knew this was going
to intensify into a major hurricane. We knew that the
warnings had gone out to get people to evacuate. We
believe a lot of people took advantage of that because look,
you get a tendency to sort of sit back and
relax and say, ah, it's only a two or it's
only a three, which you should not do that, but
when someone does, it's going to be a five. No,

(03:27):
you high tail out of there.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yeah, I'm trying to think I've been through threes. I
don't think I've ever been through a four or five.
And of course we were all gone for Katrina. Now
it'll move into cooler and cooler waters, and the track
seems to be more easterly, so we think once we
get beyond the Bahamas. That said for Melissa, right, Bermuda

(03:53):
could get whacked by a pretty good but by then
it would be a Cat one, and certainly Bermuda is
used to handling storms like that.

Speaker 5 (04:00):
You know, the storm is also interacting with the mountains
of Cuba. That part of Cuba is a mountainous area
that also helps to diminish the storm as well. And
as I said, the upper level winds are steering this
now out of the area a bit faster. So all
these are positive signs. But again we still have no
idea really what Melissa did to Jamaica.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
All right, Rory's going to be back in the third hour,
we're going to talk a little bit about hamas they
violated their ceasefire by shooting an Israeli soldier in the Gaza. Again,
that's that turbulence on the road to Face two of peace.
Good reporting, Rory and Melissa, all right, we all know
that there was an effort. You're about to enter the

(04:41):
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our country, and I
did this about two weeks ago, just contrasting. I won't
be here, I wouldn't think for the three hundredth, but
I was here for the bi centennial and the purity
in nineteen seventy six at that celebration. Compared to heading

(05:02):
into two hundred and fifty, we're a much more divided
nation in nineteen seventy six, you know, a little bit
of whiplash. We came out of the sixties and the
riots and the shootings and the assassinations and the war
only to find, you know, an end to all of that,

(05:24):
and then we went right into Watergate. But nothing like
the divide in America today, to the point where one
side of the country refuses to look at that document.
They do, I mean, the left will do whatever they
can to keep you from reading that Declaration of independence.
Why because they don't want you to read those words.

(05:44):
They do not want you to in context understand our intent,
the role of God, the role of us, the creation,
where liberty comes from freedom and what it means, the
sanctity of life and the pursuit of happiness, not the

(06:07):
entitlement of anything your MV should desire. I cannot tell
you how different two hundred and fifty fields from two hundred.
I'm not certain, but I'm pretty certain. We haven't been
this divided since the Civil War, and I would call
it a cold civil war, though some days are less

(06:28):
cold than others with shootings. Now, to get here, you
have to either make God irrelevant, a creator irrelevant, and
the sacredness of his creation irrelevant. You gotta break down
the epicenter, because you can't be a self governed citizen

(06:56):
without faith, without God, without morals to self govern yourself.
Now we've abandoned God for moral relativism, a theory, and
the reason the elite wanted you to do that was

(07:16):
because then all gods are the same, and that the
same as no God. Then they moved on to the family.
You know, it's interesting this week, and everything strikes everybody differently.
My wife was enraged over AOC the notion that she
would tell Riley Gains to get a real job, as

(07:39):
if she's ever had one, And the notion that this
never married, never having been a parent other than a bartender,
never having a real job herself, view's motherhood is not
a real job was infuriating. And then my wife's case,

(08:01):
she was an attorney who gave up law to come
home and spend every minute shaping my children's lives and
raising them. So got to get rid of God, got
to break down the family. And I thought, well, this
is going to be an interesting grass music because how

(08:23):
effective from the intelligency at the university level that has
now crept into K through twelve common education. It is
in education, it's in doctrination and socialization. To every cartoon,
to every sitcom, to every drama, to every movie, to
everything you see online set by the algorithms, it's all

(08:44):
designed to break down faith and family. How well is
it done? How different are we at two point fifty
than we were at two hundred. And I'm sorry, but
my glimpse of this is they only managed to destroy
marriage and family for themselves the left. Now part of

(09:11):
you will look at this and go, how could twenty
five percent say marriage isn't important? And I know this
is anecdotal, but when I tell you there is an
X factor in my life, an ultimate ex factor is God.
You take him out. I don't have my wife, I
don't have my children. I don't have any sense of

(09:32):
joy or purpose or meaning. But outside of God, you
remove my wife, boom, that's an X factor. In fact,
I used to always say to her, you're my love,
life and happiness. I would write that on everything I
wrote to her. And I'm not proud of me. This

(09:55):
is a testimony of my God. I feel the same way,
even more today than I did when I used to
write those So to me, you're speaking a foreign language.
I don't know what happiness is outside of faith, outside
of my wife, outside of my children. You start getting
any deeper than that, well, then I can I can

(10:16):
lose passion. So the notion maybody could take a survey say, oh,
my marriage doesn't have anything to do with my happiness. Wow,
I don't even speak that language. But then we go
in deeper. So a majority of Americans do consider marriage
important to their happiness and think more traditional families would
make the country better. That's good news, right. Seventy percent

(10:39):
of American adults say marriage is important in terms of
their personal happiness, including forty six percent who consider it
very important. But there's still twenty four percent that say
marriage isn't important to their personal happiness at all. Fifty
four percent believe America would be better if more people
had traditional families, five five percent disagree, and twenty two

(11:01):
percent aren't sure. Now let's get to parenthood. When I
tell you, I don't even I can tell you I
remember life before meeting my wife, but it's like it's
almost blurry, like it didn't really happen. And then to
some degree those because we're now empty, just becoming transitional

(11:25):
empty nesters. The kids are only nineteen miles away at
college and their home constantly. But I don't remember those
four years when we were alone. I remember we went
on some great vacations, but it doesn't even feel real.
It's like it didn't even happen. That's how much I
don't remember life before children. Now, for those of you
who never have children, this is not a slight to you.

(11:46):
I'm just saying I have found. I have often said,
when I get to God, that's going to be my comment.
Everything other than parenthood was overrated. And then my brother
tells me being a grandparents even better. I can wait.
Parenthood is even more important than marriage. To most Americans,

(12:08):
Seventy six percent consider being parent important in terms of
their personal happiness. Fifty five percent say very important. Obviously
marriages fail, but you still love your children, so not
a big shock. That number would be higher among those
who say being a parent is very important to their
personal happiness, eighty five percent also consider marriage to be

(12:28):
at least somewhat important. The other thing I would I
would offer up to you, especially to do it from
the perspective if you're young and you've never been married.
If you're young and you've never been married or just
got married, and you're thinking about having children, my advice
to you would be, you can never love your children

(12:49):
more than you love their mother, because I think, instinctively
and ultimately, that's what a kid wants. Instinctively, they want
a father who loves and takes care of their mother.
It's the ultimate expression of love and security that they feel.
So these numbers not being the same. It's a problem

(13:12):
majorities of every political category sixty five percent Republicans, fifty
one percent Democrats. You've got to combine Democrats and unaffiliated
to get to fifty one percent. Your parenthood is very important.
But watch this. Republicans sixty one percent are significantly more
likely than Democrats forty four percent or unaffiliated thirty six

(13:37):
percent to say marriage is very important if breaking down
the family means destroying the covenant of marriage, because you've
got to destroy that. Once you destroy God, then you
got to destroy the covenant of family and God's plan
for the family. Look at that for a second and
digest it. In all the attempts of the left to
destroy faith and family, they've only destroyed it partially for themselves.

(14:06):
In fact, when you ask him point blank, seven and
a half out of ten Republicans say, compared to only
thirty nine percent of Democrats, America would be better if
people had traditional families. More men seventy four percent than
women sixty five percent can consider marriage at least somewhat
important to their happiness. And that's that ground that we're

(14:29):
seeing of what's left of this extreme far left, and
one of its biggest groups is angry white women. If
you go by racial categories, fifty three percent of white,
sixty percent of blacks, fifty seven percent of Hispanics, fifty
six percent of other minorities consider being a parent very important.

(14:52):
Notice Blacks, Hispanics, and other minorities all prioritize high than whites.
We'ven't given read a hard time over that obvious study
about the left going so far left. This is the
one that blew me away. Because if you're the enemy,

(15:13):
whether that's a political enemy or an eternal enemy, man,
you don't want you don't want people of faith, You
don't want people of family. You don't want people united
and energized and proud of their country collectively. But before
you can destroy a country, you got to destroy states.
And before you can destroy states, you got to destroy communities.

(15:36):
And you can't destroy a community until you destroy neighborhoods.
And you can't destroy neighborhood until you destroy the family.

Speaker 7 (15:43):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Deltno.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Hurricane Melissa slammed Jamaica a category five wins over one
hundred and eighty miles an hour with God above two
hundred and ten that came with storm surge and flooding.
Some half a million plus are still without power. The
death toll is at seven and expected to rise greatly.
From Jamaica, I think it was about two this morning

(16:14):
our time, somewhere around there. Melissa made landfall in Cuba.
The good news was just to Cat three on arrival
in Cuba, and some seven hundred and fifty thousand people
in Cuba had already evacuated before the storm. Vice President
jad Vance is indicating that our troops will get paid
during the government shut down, at least for now. And

(16:35):
after forty eight Democrats voted against opening the government last night,
one five Democrat led states our suing the president over
the halt of snap benefits during the government shutdown. They
caused the problem, then they sued the president for the result. Yeah,

(16:56):
these are interesting times. And the Blue Jays bounce back
a heartbreaking laws You're on the road in the World
Series eighteen innings, a walk off home run. It would
have been easy to lay down in Game four, but
the Blue Jays did anything but that. The Bats are alive.
They took down Otanni. They won six to two. Game
four of the World Series is Game five of the

(17:18):
World Series is tonight and it's going to return to
Toronto one way or another, just a matter of who's
going to be up three games to two when it
gets there. Coming up in the third hour, don't miss
our visit with Brett Bear. Next hour, we'll talk about
his new book, To Rescue the American Spirit, Teddy Roosevelt
and the Birth of a Superpower. There's significance to the
study of Roosevelt's life in current times that I don't

(17:40):
want you to miss. Also, he gives us a major
scoop of what his next project is. It's the project
that I think David Zanati is going to love. Speaking
of David Zinnati, he'll walk us through our journey of discovery.
There's no question that left is going to go full
socialist in twenty twenty eight. The Right we'll try to

(18:01):
orchestrate a smooth handoff of MAGA to the next in line.
And I don't know if that's JD. Vans, and I
don't know if that's Marco Rubio, And I don't know
what the establishment Republican Party is going to do. I
don't know if they're going to lay down and just
have that handoff. Remember, this has not been a red
wave it's been an orange wave and it's unique to Trump,
so we don't know if it does handoff. There's a
lot of stuff brewing online too that looks pretty ugly.

(18:24):
We're seeing it. We're not commenting on it yet, but
don't rule out that there might be a war within
the Republican Party heading into twenty twenty eight as well.
But tech was a big role in getting the president elected.
Where will tech be? We just saw Bill Gates shift
from global warming. They need the power for their AI,
but who will they get behind. We'll talk about it

(18:46):
with David Sinati coming up next hour. And the President
arrived in South Korea for the APEC Economic Summit. This
has been an extraordinarily successful Asian trip, even got a
Nobel Peace Prize nomination from Japan. But this is what
it's all about, getting this TikTok deal done and getting
the trade deal negotiated and done beyond the framework. John

(19:09):
Decker is our White House correspondent. He follows the President
even when he's out of the country. John, good morning, Hey,
good morning to you. That's right.

Speaker 8 (19:15):
The President the.

Speaker 6 (19:16):
Third leg on his Asia tour, the third and final leg,
as you.

Speaker 8 (19:20):
Point out, arriving earlier today in South Korea for the
APEX Summit, and the President, as you know, at the
conclusion of his trip in South Korea, will be meeting
one on one with Chinese.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
President Shijing thing.

Speaker 8 (19:33):
The President indicated just a little bit earlier that that
meeting will last at least three hours, so they will
discuss a lot of topics during the course of their conversation.
Certainly they'll talk about.

Speaker 6 (19:45):
Issues related to sentanol, the war in Ukraine, as well
as agricultural trade. That's very important to the President given
that over the past year, China, as you know, has
essentially boycotted American farming products like soybeans, for instance, So
that's going to be on the agenda when the President
speaks to President she.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
So John, I would assume that there's been a lot
of negotiations between representatives of each country, but this will
be the first time these two sit down uninterrupted and
knock them out. Indications are the fentanyl deal is really strong,
the TikTok deal is really strong and ready to sign.

(20:28):
What about the AG deal and what about where China
stands with Russia and Ukraine.

Speaker 6 (20:33):
Yeah, so let's talk about the AG deal first.

Speaker 8 (20:36):
Over the weekend, the Treasury Secretary Scott Besant met with
his Chinese counterpart that was in Malaysia, and they essentially
worked out an agreement as it relates to China purchasing
large amounts of American agricultural products, including soybeans, so that
should please American farmers. As a result, Scott Besson and

(20:59):
the President said that threat of one hundred percent tariffs
on Chinese goods coming into the US Michael now off
the table.

Speaker 6 (21:08):
So that's a good sign that they could reach an
agreement there.

Speaker 8 (21:10):
As for the war in Ukraine, it really depends, you know,
it depends how that conversation goes. President Trump told me,
as you know last week, that when he speaks with
President She, he will lean on President She to have
him lean on President Putin to come to the negotiating
table to end the war in Ukraine.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
So John Decker, White House Correspondent, Final question. You know,
we talk about all these deals. The President's cut for
mineral rights. He's doing that to hedge because China has
them all and they don't want to be dependent on them.
You didn't bring that up. Is that going to come up?
Does he leave with any of theirs come up.

Speaker 6 (21:46):
That was just an oversight on.

Speaker 8 (21:48):
My part that is coming up. That's one of the
reasons why Scott Bess and the Treasury Secretary said that
that tariff threat is off the table. They've reached agreement
on that those restrictions that China had put in place
related to those rare earth minerals.

Speaker 6 (22:03):
Are going away. So that's a good thing. But to
your point, even if.

Speaker 8 (22:08):
They go away, now, China does essentially hold a monopoly
on the rare earth minerals when.

Speaker 6 (22:15):
You're talking about ninety percent of.

Speaker 8 (22:17):
The world's rare earth minerals coming out of China.

Speaker 6 (22:20):
So obviously the president, in terms of his conversations with
other world.

Speaker 8 (22:25):
Leaders looking for alternatives, if China shuts off the US
like they did over the course of the past month.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
But you can cut all the deals you want with
Ukraine and others, it doesn't add up to much when
they got ninety percent of it. But look, we just
lived what thirty years depending on our enemies for oil
that didn't work out very well. We've tried to usher
in energy independence, but on the rare earths we got
a long way to go. It's going to be a
very interesting three hours between these two world leaders. John

(22:53):
Decker keep an eye on it for you. He has
all the analysis in the White House Briefing Room. That's
his podcast comes out right as we're going off the
air nine Eastern, so you'll find it on your iHeartRadio
app the White House Briefing Room with John Decker, and
go ahead and give it a preset that way. It's
a button away every morning. John, thank you so much.
You got it. Forty three minutes after the hour, going

(23:14):
to get smoked.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
He's got and stopped.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
I really don't know what he said at the end
of this sentence. I don't think he knows what he
said either. It's got to be a big pitch understanding.
I'm sometimes, oh, it's going to be how do you
like my garbage? I love your garbage truck? All right,
So sometimes you just need to hear the sounds for
yourself and decide. Sometimes, you know, I always say this,
You know, we got all these narratives and and and lies,

(23:42):
and just an ocean of voices and noise, so much information,
so little understanding, so many voices, so little truth. And
then there's a meme, and the memes are just kind
of there to guide you through the chaos, and that's
how I feel about sound, and that's why we created
Sounds of the Day. This is the president in South Korea,

(24:04):
and I don't think there's any question how he feels
about South Korea. This is a.

Speaker 9 (24:12):
Very special country that I'm in and the business leaders
here at APEC are really really fantastic, so many friends,
and I want to thank our host of this important summit,
President Lee of South Korea.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
He's a terrific person and I'm.

Speaker 9 (24:29):
Going to be meeting with him this afternoon and I
look forward to that very much.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
The Republic of Korea is.

Speaker 9 (24:36):
A cherished American friend and a close ally. And as
we can see in this beautiful city, it's truly one
of the most remarkable nations anywhere on Earth.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Here in this peninsula.

Speaker 9 (24:48):
The people of South Korea have forged a miracle of
economic development like you rarely see, an industrial and technological powerhouse,
and above all, a free society and enduring democracy and
a thriving civilization.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
And I want to congratulate you. Yeah, he definitely likes
South Korea. That's the place. Of course. The big meeting
is three hours with President and she all right, I
believe it was another forty eight again last night, voting
against reopening the government. For the Democrats, how does this
shut down that they're not backing down on that they

(25:24):
are certainly responsible for. How is it faring out for them?
Mary Anton ran the numbers and shared them with the
CNN audience, not that they listen.

Speaker 10 (25:33):
Yeah, you might think, given that the Republicans are in
charge of both the House and the Senate, that a
government shutdown might actually hurt the Republican brand, but in
fact it hasn't. If anything, it's been helped.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
A little bit.

Speaker 10 (25:44):
Take a look here the shift in net popularity versus
pre shutdown among the g When we're looking at the
Republican Party overall, that brand actually up two points. That's
within the margin e ARP, but clearly it hasn't dropped.
Come over this side of the screen, look at the
net approval ratings for Republicans in Congress. It's actually up
five points since pre shutdown. So what we're seeing here
is the Republican brand in Congress has actually improved somewhat

(26:07):
compared to where we were pre shutdown, despite the fact
the Republicans control. And that's the math that John Thun
and Mike Johnson are looking at is Hey, why should
we give an electorally speaking when.

Speaker 5 (26:16):
Our brand has actually improved.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
A little bit.

Speaker 10 (26:19):
Now we say their position is getting better with whom, Yeah, okay,
with whom.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
So I think it's two groups that it's.

Speaker 10 (26:24):
So important to keep an eye out on, all right,
changing the Republican Congresses and net approval rating versus pre shutdown.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
It's rallying the base, for sure.

Speaker 10 (26:32):
Look at this, the net approval rating up twelve points
versus pre shutdown. But it's not just with the base,
it's also with the middle of the electorate. Look at
this among independents, it's up eight points as well.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
So the left tried to put this all on Remember
they were calling it the Trump shutdown. Now, it's Congress's
job to fund the government, not the president's. I mean,
a president can issue a budget, a president can use
his bully pulpit, but the president doesn't do the business
of the the legislative branch does. So that was ridiculous.

(27:06):
The next notion was that it's the Republicans. It's the
same bill that ten Democrats voted for back in March.
Nothing's changed now. If you want to relitigate the big
beautiful bill. Well, then you've got to win the midterm
elections and then do it legislatively. You don't do that
by holding up the budget process. Needless to say, all

(27:27):
the attempts for them, it's kind of like the research
we did on the breakdown of faith and family, marriage
and parenthood. They've only succeeded in breaking it down amongst themselves,
not in America. Now they've convinced themselves that this is
Donald Trump's fault. They've convinced themselves this is the Republican's fault.

(27:51):
But they've only convinced themselves. It has unified the Republican Party,
and the independents are clearly pointing it's a Democrat fault
and problem. So why keep doing it? One might ask
Victor Victor Hanson Davis Listen.

Speaker 11 (28:15):
I guess the answer is what else can they do?
I mean, most of the major foreign policy issues Trump
is almost solved. There's no Iranian threat, nuclear threat, there's
a ceasefire in the Middle East. He's addressing the Ukrainian problem.
He got Eric mentioned all this foreign investment. We've got
the stock market at record levels, good GDP, good inflation news,

(28:39):
unemployments not too bad. He's the border is an eighty
twenty issue, so is crime, so is energy, and so
their reaction is, well, he's still not, you know, fifty
five popularity, So we must be doing summer something right.
Let's double down on f bombs, Let's get back to destroying.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
The new ballroom.

Speaker 11 (28:59):
If we pick power, let's get into smutty videos or
shut down the government.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
It's just not a very serious party. But again, they
don't want you to look just like. They don't want
you looking at the declaration of independence next year. They
don't want you looking at the scoreboard this year. So
they want the narratives to cloud you from the reality
and facts. But truth and reality and facts they always

(29:25):
tend to have their day. I am. You know, do
you remember a Lane on Seinfeld? A Lane on Seinfeld
and very small doses, was very entertaining and very large doses.
Not as entertained now. She was Julie Louis Dreyfuss was

(29:46):
different in deep than the character Elaine. I once dated
somebody that acted just like a Lane and it lasted
about one week. It was just too much a lane.
That's starting to happen with Senator John Kennedy. You know,
every now and then. It was fun and funny. Here
he is with with Sean Hannity. His take on all

(30:08):
this is, you can't fix stupid. But he's almost becoming
kind of an Elaine in a caricature of himself. So
I got two thoughts going as I played this. But
here's his take on some of the ridiculousness from the left.

Speaker 12 (30:22):
Yeah, I thought to myself, even duct tape can't fix stupid.
I don't know miss Wallace. I watched her a little bit.
I remember when she worked for President Bush. I suppose
she's not as bad as some members of the liberal media.
But that's faint praise. That's like, it's like being the

(30:45):
smartest person on the view.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
He's just like, I mean, they're great lines, but I
swear he's like, you ask him a question and he
he works his answer around the lines.

Speaker 6 (30:56):
He's pre prepared.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
I want to get to these two ones. These are huge.
This is mom Donnie, is Mom Donnie? And is Lomist.
Isn't it amazing? Nobody will ask him? And even without
asking him, sometimes he just tells you listen, and.

Speaker 8 (31:11):
It reminds me of grounding ourselves struggles as opposed to
the fights around the starts.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
For anyone to care about these issues, we have to
make the life. We have to make clear that when
the who of the NYP is on your neck, it's
been laced.

Speaker 6 (31:32):
By the ideas.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
When the boot of the NYPD is on your neck,
it's been laced by the IDF. What does Israel have
to do with New York and what are these strange?
The far left is suddenly very anti Israel. We're seeing
on the internet the far right turning anti What is brewing?
I don't know, but as as soon as I get

(31:57):
the ingredients, I'll share them with you. But this guy
is clearly an is Lomist. So it begs the question,
what you in New York would be supporting an is Lomist? Well,
I don't know. Here's the one that's on television and
he thinks he's Jackie Robinson.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
Listen, any New Yorker who looks at someone getting an opportunity,
who's representing communities that have not been as represented. A Muslim,
a young person, a progressive, a democratic socialist. You know,
there are so many different communities that are looking to you.
And this, I hate to put it on it as
a bit of a Jackie Robinson moment, and I know

(32:40):
that that probably wields some weight, but man, oh man,
what an exciting opportunity, and I wish you'd done that.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
John Stewart praising inn Is Lomist. You know, there's the
Old Testament scripture, My people perish for lack of knowledge.
They don't die of intelligent starvation. And really the Hebrew
word is more of ignorance, not stupidity. These people are ignorant.

(33:11):
They haven't studied the three inconsistent lives of Mohammad and
what that exege eats today, whether it's a peace loving,
wonderful Muslim but also a political Islamist like the one
you're praising, or a Jihadis like the ones who attacked

(33:32):
twenty four years ago in the very city he's poised
to win the mayor's race. That's the kind of ignorance
it'll get you. That parish has overtaken. In Hebrew, that
kind of ignorance can lead to being overtaken, and I
fear that's about to be a reality for New Yorkers.
