Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
Drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
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 Dell Trump.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Welcome to the show on this Friday, June fourteenth. I'm
Ryan Gorman with Dana McKay and we're live and on
your iHeartRadio app. Coming up this hour, former President Donald
Trump met with Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill yesterday. We're
going to recap how that went. Plus we'll get an
update on the state of the economy with business writer
Jared Dillion. So keep it here for all of that

(00:59):
and a whole lot more. Right now, for more of
the biggest stories making news this morning, let's bring in
our national correspondent Rory O'Neill. So, Rory, I noticed neither
of the two stories you're reporting on this morning is
on the Supreme court abortion decision. You want to You
don't want to start the morning talking about the fun
topic of.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Oh boy, let's roll. We can do that. Let's roll.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
But yeah, I thought we'd talk about two things that
don't apply to you.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
A little abortion discussion before everyone had their first zip cup.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
It's a great way to start today.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
We were hoping to get your personal opinion on but
you don't want to share.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
That with us.

Speaker 5 (01:33):
Rory. Oh, this line doesn't seem to be working. Oh,
it's a right working, all right. So what you do
have for us to kick things off? The new list
of the best and worst airlines? Would the best ones
be the ones that don't use Boeing planes?

Speaker 6 (01:51):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Nice?

Speaker 4 (01:52):
Actually, middle of the pack Southwest they're all seven thirty
sevens and they came in the middle. But the points
guy is out with his annual and he says that
Delta Airlines is the best airline based on reliability, the
onboard experience, the cost of the reach of their network,
and the loyalty programs that Delta offers, although they also

(02:14):
noted that Delta had the biggest drop in the quality
of their loyalty programs in the past year.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
So what are some of the worst ones. Bottom of
the barrel. Here we go.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
No surprise, low cost carriers Spirit and Frontier they received
the worst rankings from the Points Guide. That's based on timeliness,
the number of cancelations, customer satisfaction, and the bag and change.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Fees the airlines charge.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Should note that since the list was compiled, give credit
to Spirit in Frontier they are dropping the change fees
on their flights.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
All right.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
And another story you're covering this morning, how much everyone's
set to spend on Father's Day.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
It's a big number.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
I was surprised, really, So overall, twenty two point four
billion dollars is going to spend on Father's Day. That's
according to the National Retail Federation. It's actually a little
bit of a dip compared to last year. But on average,
on average spending for Dad one hundred and eighty nine
dollars and eighty one cents. The NRM seeing a big yeah, right,

(03:16):
the an off and then this may be why they're
seeing a surge in what we in what we're spending
on experiences with Dad. So rather than buy him a tie,
it's hey, let's go to the car show, let's go
to the ball game or you know, this concert is
in town. So we're seeing more spending on experiences. And
as I said, twenty two billion dollars on dad. That's nice,

(03:36):
but just I went back to look how much do
we spend on moms for Mother's Day? Thirty three point
five billion? Wow, yep, So it's a bit of a
difference there.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
And what are what are you planning on spend? Roy
and you have your Father's Day gift all picked out?

Speaker 4 (03:52):
Yeah, my dad's passed so and I'm not one, so
it's a it's a good time to spend a little
bit of money, staved a little bit of money. Some
of the things they are spending money on though as well,
In addition to experiences, obviously there's spending money on the
big greeting cards of course are standard fair and things
like that, but also gift cards are still in the mix.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yes, clothing is in the mix as well.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Sure that Well, I mean depends on what kind of clothing.
You don't want to get that a pair of socks?

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Well, and ties You're like, it's twenty yeah, that's not
wearing a tie.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah, there is.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
I did a thing with the people over at Wirecutter
that put together their list.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
There's actually a watch that they recommended. It's a Japanese
artistic watch.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
They said it they don't have.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
It doesn't tell the time.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
What I was asking yes time in fifteen minute increments.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Wow, I don't know about that.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
What I was asking yesterday was, if you're Hunter Biden
and you're in need of let's say, a pardon or
the commuting of a sentence, what do you get Dad
for Father's Day?

Speaker 2 (05:05):
I mean, well, he's already got the sensible shoes, that's true.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
I feel like you have to go a little above
and beyond.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
All right, what's help? How do you help Dad with
debate prep?

Speaker 7 (05:19):
Right?

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, something like that that we get.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
We get a session with who's the guy that wrote
the West Wing? Can we get that guy in there? Yeah,
that's a good idea.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
All right.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Rory O'Neil, our national correspondent with US this morning. Rory,
thanks so much, Thanks Ryan, good luck.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
All right, right.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Now, let's get through some other top stories this morning,
and we'll start with Trump's meeting on Capitol Hill yesterday.
House Republicans predicting victory and November's election following a meeting
with former President Donald Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson spoke
to reporters after the meeting, arguing the upcoming presidential election
will be the most consequential election of our lifetimes.

Speaker 6 (05:58):
President Trump brought an extra amount of energy and excitement
enthusiasm this morning. That is what we're seeing in the
party throughout the country.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
And Johnson said his party is feeling optimistic about November's election.

Speaker 6 (06:12):
We don't take anything for granted, you have to run
like your ten points behind, but we are very encouraged
by the polling that shows that we know intuitively and
that is this thing is trending certainly in the right direction.
We believe that we're going to win back the White
House and the Senate and grow the House majority.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
And finally, he talked about how the Republican Party's working
with Trump for this November's election.

Speaker 6 (06:33):
We talked about how to grow this House majority and
how he will help in doing so, and then how
will help him as well. And this is a unified
effort by the party. We're feeling good.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
It may very well be the case this is the
most consequential election of our lifetimes. But I do feel
like I hear that every single election. Oh yeah, of course, Yeah,
I feel like every four years, that's the phrase that
gets tossed around. Former President Donald Trump all so spoke
to reporters after the meetings and said President Biden is

(07:04):
the wrong man for the job.

Speaker 8 (07:06):
We're a nation that is being left at all over
the world. We have a leader that's being left at
all over the world.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
He then went on to praise his Republican colleagues.

Speaker 8 (07:15):
We have great unity, we have great common sense, a
lot of very smart people in this room.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
And then in a Fox News interview later in the
day yesterday, Trump said, is a pretty good idea of
who he's going to choose to be his running mate.

Speaker 9 (07:30):
Look, Chriss, really talented people left a pretty good idea.
But I think it's probably I'll do it the way
it's usually done.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
And then finally, Trump was asked about the Hunter Biden
guilty verdict, saying he understands the struggles the Biden family
has had with the president's son, and then they can
somewhat relate to what the Biden family is going through.

Speaker 9 (07:50):
That whole subject. I understand it pretty well because I've
had it with people have it in their family. It's
a very tough thing. It's a very tough situation for
a father, it's a very tough situation for a brother
or sister.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
So there were a number of other notable things that
came out of the meetings, and I'll just run through
some of them. First of all, there was this controversy
over what Trump allegedly said about the city of Milwaukee,
which is hosting the Republican national Convention. There were quotes
that were going around saying he said it was a
horrible city. Obviously, that's that's not you know, what you

(08:25):
want to say about the city that's holding your party's convention.
There was a lot of pushback to that from some
Republicans who were in the room, including Republicans from the
state of Wisconsin. The fact of the matter is, we
don't know exactly what he said. It sounds like maybe
he was talking about crime.

Speaker 10 (08:48):
In Milwaukee that was bad, not the city in general.

Speaker 8 (08:51):
Town.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yeah. Yeah, So but again, I mean, this tends to
happen sometimes with Trump, where you know, he'll say something
and if it's not like one hundred percent clear, then
it'll get taken a million different ways. And so that's
how we had that headline that Trump said Walkey is
a horrible city. I've never been to Milwaukee before. I
don't know the city is. I've heard good things. I've

(09:14):
heard it's a fun city to go to. We also
learned that he told House Republicans he's expanding the presidential
battle grounds to New Mexico, New Jersey, Minnesota, and Virginia.
Now Virginia makes a little bit of sense based on
some of the more recent polling there, which showed a
pretty tight race. He also met with Virginia's governor, Glenn Younkin,

(09:35):
and he maybe a dark horse for vice president, a
name that we haven't talked about, a name that doesn't
get tossed around much, but Glenn Younkin after that meeting
might be somebody who Trump considers. Also, he apparently told

(09:56):
Republican members that he was surprised that Taylor Swift didn't
support him, given that she that he signed a law
to help songwriters and we've talked about that before.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
He he doesn't he made her a.

Speaker 10 (10:10):
Lot of money. Yeah, he said that he made her
a whole bunch of money and that it really wasn't
fair that she wasn't supporting he. I think he said
she's disloyal.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Right, right, Yeah, that she's disloyal and she hasn't endorsed
She hasn't endorsed Biden yet, but she also hasn't endorsed Trump,
and that seems to be weighing.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
On him a little bit. He seems to be, you know.

Speaker 10 (10:30):
A little annoyed that.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah, a little annoyed.

Speaker 10 (10:32):
Taylor Swift is about that.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Still to come this hour. The Supreme Court preserved access
to the abortion pill if a press stone in a
major ruling that came down yesterday. We're gonna break that
down in a bit. I'm Ryan Gorman here with Dana
McKay in for Michael del Giorno this week, and we
want to thank everybody for taking a few minutes to
listen to us. We really appreciate it. You know, we

(10:57):
appreciate Michael del Jorno putting us on every single morning.
I will say, I will note to everyone we're having
some major technical difficulties.

Speaker 10 (11:06):
All the way through the week, and this morning it
just stuff.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Yeah, so things sound a little all over the place
to start the show. We're trying to get them organized,
but we've got phone systems down, We've got the stuff
where it's not supposed to be like headphone's not working.
I'm using Dana's headphones. I don't know whose headphone she's using. Uh,
there's there's the smell of smoke. I guess where Jeff
is right now. So we've got that going on. The

(11:31):
phone lines literally could be on fire at the moment
while we're talking to you. We're working on trying to
reorganize our guests. That I mean, it's it's a complete
s sholl right now. And sure enough, it's the Friday show,
Like we figured, you know, all right, we got well
more to get through.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
We've been filling in all week.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Monday was a little crazy because of the first time
we'd filled in, so you know.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
You're getting used to being.

Speaker 10 (11:53):
Friday, and was like.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
Uh no, And you know, one of our other producers,
James who who is with us where we're located here
in Taba. He gets in an accident on the way
in this morning, So like right from the start, you
knew it was going to be one of those days,
and that's what's turning out to be. But we do
want to thank all of you for listening to the
show this week. Filling in for Michael del Chorano. We

(12:16):
want to thank him for having us. You could follow
us on social media too and check us out.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
We're on everything.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
We're on Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, check us out at
Ryan Gorman's show.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Deltono.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
Ryan Gorman here with Dana McKay. Again, the technical difficulties
continue some I apologize for being a little delayed there
with you, and now let's go bring in our national correspondent,
Aaron Reale, who's with us talk about a couple different
stories this morning. Aaron, thanks so much for joining us,
and let's begin with the Trump conviction and how that's

(12:55):
impacting his campaign, having a positive impact on.

Speaker 7 (12:58):
It, very positive. In fact, he was able to expand
his war chest to one hundred and forty one million
dollars following this is a pretty hefty sum and he's
doing it primarily through super packs. So he has these
superpacks that are outside of campaign finance laws and they're
funding his new recent income. And he needs a lot

(13:18):
of income because right now he's currently fighting three different
criminal cases. His bills are running roughly ninety thousand dollars
of the day according to the FEC, so he needs
a lot of money at the moment and it's coming in.
But what's interesting about this go round of fundraising is
that it's not just small donors. You're also seeing a
lot of mega donors entered the race with Trump as

(13:41):
their horse.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
It really is crazy to think. I mean, it was
a record number right after the conviction came down. And
this has really helped him. You know, Democrats had a
pretty big lead in President Biden over Trump and Republicans
in money aspect of this upcoming e life, but that
gap is closed, and it's thanks to the guilty conviction.

Speaker 7 (14:06):
It sure is this was a win for him in
terms of fundraising, that's for sure. And what's interesting about
these super packs. He has a bunch of different ones,
but they funnel money to something in America that's his
major leadership superpack and these are all outside of campaign's
finance laws. This is actually very legal, which is kind
of bonkers if you think about it, and the reason
that he's doing this obviously he needs the money, but

(14:28):
beyond that, filing show that Biden recently used donations from
the DNC to pay lawyers and it's classified document case
that we all know about. And then also Bob Menendez,
you a senator with the gold bars and jersey. He's
running for reelection and he's spent two million in campaign
funds for legal services for his own problem. So it's

(14:50):
not like the Republicans or the Democrats are going to
come in and try and shut this down because they
both benefit from this practice.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
All right, and let's get to another story that you're
discussing this morning game. We're jowned by our national correspondent,
Aaron Reale, the impact of bad workplace morale. Now, I
will say, typically workplace morale is fantastic around here. You're
catching us on a day where literally everything is going wrong.

(15:16):
So I will say, at the moment, morale might not
be the greatest here, But what kind of impact does
that have on the workplace?

Speaker 2 (15:23):
More generally speaking?

Speaker 7 (15:26):
Oh, I respectfully disagree. You guys are pulling it together.
You're coming out on top these type of headaches.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
That's what gather.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
I'm ready to go look for some rum in somebody's
desk and put in my coffee an a second, it's.

Speaker 7 (15:38):
A bonding activity really bring on the problems. But what
we know is, according to Gallup, apparently eight point nine
trillion dollars globally is law a lack of productivity and
worker disengagement. This is a big problem. That's nine percent
of global GDP. These numbers are tremendous. And it's also
not just emerging markets for our country that have intrinsically

(16:01):
more stressful work environments. It's the US, it's Canada, it's
a lot of the big countries, and they say that
disengagement is the biggest issue here. So the poll found
that twenty percent of workers globally feel lonely, they feel sad,
and they feel angry.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
On a daily basis.

Speaker 7 (16:17):
That a lot of people, and then forty one percent
on average to say they feel stressed. And what I find
most interesting is that Canada and the US have the
happiest numbers in terms of workers, but at the same
time they are the most stressed right behind at least
in North Africa, where working tea conditions are fundamentally more
challenging in many cases.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
But agement and when.

Speaker 7 (16:40):
You have managers that are disengaged, you have employees that age.
So if you want to create productivity, like think of
it like a board game. If you're playing a board game,
people are like checked out, They're not going to win
the board game. Those who are deeply engaged just create better.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
And of course, as we're having this discussion, our team's
connection is it's going to be one of those mornings.
Man Aaron Real, our national correspondent with us. Aaron, thanks
so much, really appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Hey, it's me Michael.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Your morning show can be heard live five to eight
am Central, six to nine Eastern and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio,
or Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and we're grateful you're here.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Now enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Brian Gorman here with Dana McKay and now let's go
to the hotline and bring in senior national correspondent for
News Nation, Brian Inton. You can watch him on NewsNation,
find his reporting at newsnationnow dot com, and follow him
on x for the latest at Brian Enton. So, Brian,
you recently sat down with the acting ICE director and
it was a really enlightening interview. What were some parts

(17:43):
of that conversation that really stood out to you?

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Yeah, it was interesting.

Speaker 11 (17:46):
You know, he doesn't do a lot of interviews, and
I think the last interview he did was back in February,
and it's obviously there's a lot going on with the
border and a lot going on with ICE. And I
first started talking to him about, you know, you heard
about just recently these eight suspected terrorists that were arrested
in big cities around the country.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
We found out came across the southern border.

Speaker 11 (18:05):
Apparently they were from Tijikistan, which is on one of
the terror watch lists. They came across the southern border,
they were stopped by federal law enforcement. Apparently background checks
were done, but nothing came up. They were cleared, and
they entered the country as undocumented migrants. So the first
thing I asked them about was that, like, how is

(18:26):
this even possible that you guys did the background checks
and nothing came up. And what he explained to me
was that a lot of times in these situations, people
will use fake names, which we've seen out there at
the border, they'll drop their ID cards, they use a
fake name, or even if they use a real name,
there's no real way to really do a good criminal
history check because like a country like Tajikistan, we don't

(18:47):
have access to their database, if there even is a database.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
So a lot of people slide through the cracks, which
is really disturbing.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
So basically at the southern border, if we can't really
verify and vet someone, instead of being able to turn
them away and not let them in the country, we
are accepting many of them and releasing them into the country.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Yeah, that's exactly what happened.

Speaker 11 (19:13):
They were they did a background check whatever that means.
They didn't find anything the FEDS did, and they let
him in and it wasn't until later that they popped
up on a list, realized that they were in the country.
And the good news is, you know, they did pop
up on a list, they got good intel. ICE does
an amazing job with this stuff, and they were able
to go out and apprehend them. But in terms of

(19:35):
they did get into the country, which again is pretty startling.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
Were you able to get a sense as to the
biggest issues facing that agency right now?

Speaker 11 (19:45):
Yeah, I think resources and staffing. And you know, when
I sat down, his name is Patrick Lecklitner. He's the
acting ICE director. You have to remember he's appointed by Biden.
He's worked for the Homeland Security for a long time.
But they have to walk a tightrope when they do
these interviews because there's a lot of politics at play, obviously,
but he was very clear that they need more people,
they need more manpower. He gave me some really staggering statistics.

(20:09):
You know, when someone comes in undocumented and they're put
onto a list and they're supposed to be kept track of,
there's one ICE agent for every seven thousand undocumented migrants.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
That they're supposed to keep it track of.

Speaker 11 (20:24):
So it's basically like a parole officer with seven thousand
people they're supposed to keep track of. And he described
it as silly and crazy, which it is, and untenable,
he said, And how one person supposed to keep track
of seven thousand people. So he was just making the
point look like they're desperate for more people right now
and more funding.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
You know, hearing that, I can only imagine what morale
is like within Immigration and Customs enforcement, those who are
on the ground doing the day to day work. It's
got to be really tough when the support just isn't
there for you to do your job effectively. They are
obviously aware of that. Did the acting director of ICE address.

Speaker 11 (21:07):
That He did, because you know, ICE is just one
part of the Department of Homeland Security. They're all under
one umbrella, and ICE get to a bad rap. I mean,
there are people who are very upset about people getting deported,
and you know, they're entitled to those beliefs, but you
have to acknowledge the fact that the Department of Homeland
Security does a lot more than just deport people. I mean,
they're the ones going after you know, human smugglers and

(21:31):
people who have child porn and all of it. So,
you know, he wanted to remind people of that. And
he also was talking a lot about sanctuary cities. You know,
they have a rough time dealing with these with some
of these sanctuary cities where you know, the local governments
won't even interact with with with ICE at all.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
And I couldn't believe that he was telling me there.

Speaker 11 (21:51):
There's been some sanctuary cities where they have actually blocked
all ICE email addresses so they won't so the local
law enforcement in some of these places won't even accept
incoming emails from ICE, which you know.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Has has caused a lot of problems.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
We're joined by News Nation Senior national correspondent Brian Anton,
who recently sent down with the acting Director of ICE
for an exclusive interview.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Were you able.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
To read between the lines, because he's not just going
to come out and say this and and get a
sense as to how much she felt he was being
supported by those above him in the Biden administration, including
the President.

Speaker 11 (22:29):
Well, he says, you know, he says he's getting some support.
And again, I think he has to walk a fine
line here because he was appointed by the Biden administration.
But you know, he's gone to Congress, he's asking for
fifty thousand more detention beds, he's asking for more funding
in terms of you know, President Biden recently signed this
executive order that could help curb some of the numbers

(22:53):
that we're seeing at the border.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
And he told me, and it's still too.

Speaker 11 (22:56):
Soon to know for sure the impact that we'll have,
though he's optimistic there.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
So he's hoping that that will help. So, you know,
he says he's getting some support. Look, this isn't a
new issue, you know that.

Speaker 11 (23:06):
I mean for decades, ICE has been underfunded and hasn't
had the staffing it needs.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
And this has always always sort of been a.

Speaker 11 (23:15):
Political issue where both sides, you know, sort of use
these these agencies as kind of ponds and they never
end up getting what they need.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
So it's not a new issue.

Speaker 11 (23:25):
It's it's not just a Biden issue, but it's obviously
got to be frustrating working there, especially you know, as
it's just sort of a low level ice agent and
not having the resources.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
That you need.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
As the acting director of Vice, what's his biggest concern?
What's the thing that keeps him up at night?

Speaker 11 (23:41):
Yeah, you know, I actually asked that question. I said,
you know, because there's so much they deal with. I said,
is there one thing that keeps you up at night?
And he's sort of like chuckled a little and said,
there's not just one thing. But the first thing that
they came to mind for him was the agents on
the ground. He said, that's, you know, their safety and
the stuff that they go up against, and just making

(24:02):
sure they have what they need is is number one concern,
which makes sense again because they do so much that
people don't realize. I mean the Department Home Land Security
in terms of just dealing with really dangerous people. Of
course the terrorists that we all hear about, but there's
so much more to it that these men and women
battle every day to keep all of us safe.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
It's a really interesting report and everyone can check it
out again at newsnationnow dot com. You can also see
clips if you follow Brian on x at Brian Entton,
Senior national correspondent for News Nation Brian Inton with us.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Brian, really appreciate the update.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Thanks so much.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yeah, thank you so much for having me.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
The other day, after the report came out that those
eight men with possible ties to ISIS were behind bars
after crossing the southern border, they were apprehended by Ice
House speaker Mike Johnson. He spoke to the media and
said President Biden's border policies are allowing many dangerous people
to enter the US.

Speaker 6 (25:00):
So Biden border catastrophe continues. In spite of his window
dressing of the executive order, nothing's changed, of course. In fact,
many have argued that this increased the incentives for people
to try to come.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
He also claimed it's hard to know how many of
these people have already gotten into the country.

Speaker 6 (25:18):
The open border has welcomed many dangerous people and none
of us, none of us knows exactly how many of
them are here. May have set up terrorist cells in
America because the border's been wide open for three and
a half years.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
And Johnson claimed Biden's inaction is putting Americans at risk.

Speaker 6 (25:34):
We're demanding actual executive action from the President and he
is unwilling to provide it, and so Americans are in
danger because of that.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
I just I can't get over the one part of
that interview that Brian Entton had with the acting director
of ICE, where you've got seven thousand illegal immigrants being
handled by one member of ICE, Like, that's impossible.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
You know, we talk about.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
Those who are dealing with children in you know, the
Family Services Arena and how their case work is just ridiculous,
and they're dealing with like thirty cases that's too much,
or teachers with overcredit classrooms. You know, you got thirty

(26:22):
kids and it's seven thousand.

Speaker 10 (26:25):
I can't even wrap my head around how you would
even be able to manage that of what's going on
with all those people.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yeah, it's impossible.

Speaker 10 (26:32):
Yeah, that's insane.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
And just the setup. I mean, when you think about it,
we're encountering people at the southern border coming from countries
that we don't have a relationship with in order to
learn about who these people really are.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
So we're stuck right there.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
There's the information flow, just it's not like if we
came across somebody from the UK or from Germany. Right,
and then instead of saying you know what, because pose
we can't fully vet you and really know who you
are and know about your past and all of that,
you're not getting it.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
We're turning you away.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
Instead, in this country we say, all right, come on
in and we'll figure it out later.

Speaker 10 (27:14):
Yeah, we can't figure out anything about you, so come
on in and maybe we'll find out later when you
commit a crime or kill someone or hurt someone.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
I mean, what is that? And it goes back to
what I had said yesterday on the show, and I
talked about this previously. It would be like that White
House tour that people get to go on where you
can go inside the White House and you can check
it all out and everything, and you have to go
through an extensive Yeah, you have to run.

Speaker 10 (27:41):
I think you have to write to your congress person,
and then you've got to present ID. I'm sure they
do a check. They want to know who you are
before you come walking through the White House.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
Right, it's a whole thing. Imagine if we had the
same setup there that we do with the border, where
you show up and you say Hey, this is who
I am.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Maybe you have ID maybe you don't.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
And and they say all right, and they ask you
a couple of questions and they're like, all right, go ahead,
come on in.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
I can't imagine. Thank you cool with that.

Speaker 10 (28:09):
I find that you have an idea. We don't know
your past or we are come.

Speaker 3 (28:12):
On in right right, We're gonna take out your word
and come on right in and just hopefully you don't
do anything. And uh, I just that would not fly
yet again, that's that's essentially the policy at.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
The southern border right now.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Still to come this hour, the Supreme Court issued a
few big rulings yesterday. We're gonna run through them before
the top of the hour, so stick around for that.
I'm Ryan Gorman with Dana McKay in for Michael dil
Shoreo this week. And right now, let's get to a
few trending stories involving some local politicians in a bit
of hot water.

Speaker 10 (28:42):
Yeah, so, the Chicago mayor is responding to a report
about the use of campaign funds to pay for hair
and makeup expenses. When asked about the report, he said,
it's important to support small businesses.

Speaker 6 (28:54):
I encourage all of you in this room, support, support
small businesses, Go get your hair and makeup done by
black people in particular.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
That's a hell of a way to spin it.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (29:04):
No, So he spent four thousand dollars on a salon
somewhere in Illinois. And then he also had another transaction
for over six thousand dollars to a company called Makeup Magic.
So I don't understand what does he need all this
makeup for. Yeah, it really is insane.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
And I lived in Chicago for a couple of years,
and yeah, the haircuts were expensive.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
They weren't that expensive.

Speaker 10 (29:29):
Four thousand dollars on haircuts.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
I mean, are they putting gold extensions in his hair
or something like that.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
That's that's ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
And then to say, well, I'm using campaign funds, you know,
I'm supporting small businesses.

Speaker 10 (29:42):
Yeah, yeah, that's true. I mean he is, that's good.
And then the an La City council woman is denying
that she flipped a man off during the public comments
section of a city council meeting. Daniel Martindale has the story.

Speaker 12 (29:54):
A video appears to Showpadia you have community organizer Role
Claro's the finger while he was speaking to the Council
at the time, Claris was speaking out against emotion that
he says divides the Guatemalan and El Salvadorian communities. That
Hea says she was actually fidgeting and twirling a pen
and did not make any obscene gestures.

Speaker 10 (30:11):
Was the guy who was speaking. It was his eight
year old kid who was taking like a proud video
of like my dad speaking in front of city council.
And then then happens to catch this woman totally obviously,
you know, trying to hide it but not really you know,
flipping the bird.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
Yeah, I'm going to go around the office today and
give everyone the burden. Say, I'll have a pen in
my hand. Yes, I'll be like, hey, I'm just throwling
my pen.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
I didn't mean anything by that.

Speaker 11 (30:39):
This is Paul David Patterson down in Toledo District Police
in My Morning show is your Morning Show with Michaelville.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
Now, let's get to a couple of stories involving the
Supreme Court, and we'll start with the Supreme Court throwing
out its biggest abortion related case since overturning Rob Waite
a few years ago, saying yesterday that doctors opposed to
a commonly used abortion pill lacked legal standing. Supreme Court
held the planets, a group of doctors who oppose abortion

(31:10):
but don't take or prescribe MEFI pristone, couldn't show they
were directly injured, as the Biden administration asserted during oral arguments.
And again, this was a unanimous decision. So when this
first came up, this case, look, I said at the time,

(31:31):
this wasn't going to go anywhere. I didn't know what
the ultimate outcome would be in terms of the vote count,
but I knew there was no way that this was
going to hold, that those who were bringing this case
were going to win before the Supreme Court, just because
it didn't make any sense. The standing issue didn't make sense.

(31:55):
The science, you know, I mean, the MYFI pristone pill
has been around for a while and they really couldn't
prove that. You know, it wasn't properly tested. There were,
you know, these these effects that were taking place that
were especially problematic. You know, there's always going to be
side effects and things like that. So I just I
didn't see this going anywhere. But the fact that it

(32:17):
was a unanimous decision, I think tells you all you need.

Speaker 10 (32:19):
To know, right, Yeah, there was a lot of hysteria
about it, though. I feel like there were a lot
of people on the left that were very concerned that
this was gonna and they they went for though the
Supreme Court, these Trump appointed judges, they are going to
overturn this, They're going to take it away. They're blocking access.
Women's don't women don't have rights. I mean, there was
a lot of hysteria over it, and it was unnecessary.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
There was, and and you're right, they just, you know, assumed,
because the Court lean's conservative now that you know, anything
having to do with abortion, that it would come down
and it would strike down, you know, abortion rights in
this country.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
And that wasn't the case.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
It was Justice Kavanaugh who wrote the unanimous decision. Really
imagine that, And I mean he even got Alito and Thomas,
the most conservative members of the Court who were on
board with saying the plaintiffs again didn't have standing. So
not a big surprise, but a consequential ruling. Nonetheless, the

(33:12):
Supreme Court also unanimously rejected an attempted to trademark a
phraze about former President Donald Trump's hands to sell on
T shirts. It ruled that the US patent and Trademark
Office correctly rejected a California lawyer's attempt to patent the
phrase Trump too Small because it violated the officer's policy

(33:34):
against trademarking a living person's name without that person's consent. Now,
this all stems from the taunts between Trump and someone
who's now a vice presidential candidate for Trump, Marco Rubio,
during the twenty sixteen Republican presidential primary. During oral arguments,
Justice Sonia said to my or noted that the lawyer,

(33:56):
Steve Elster, was still free to sell the T shirts
even if you couldn't trademark the phrase. And really, I
think last time we talked about this story, it was like,
why are you spending your time selling those T shirts
in the first place, Trump too, Like who's buying that? Right?

Speaker 10 (34:15):
And then to spend all the time and money and
effort to take it all the way to the Supreme.

Speaker 3 (34:20):
Court, why you know anything better to do.

Speaker 10 (34:23):
It's a dumb saying too, like, it's not no, nobody cares, No, it's.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
A dumb saying. It's a dumb T shirt, and it's
a giant waste of time. And this lawyer has way
too much time on their hands to be going to
the US Supreme Court over this. So just remember when
some of the more controversial rulings come down and we're
still we still have a few to get to. You know,
when you look at the vote total there among the

(34:50):
members of the Supreme Court, you do have many cases
that are decided unanimously. You know, not everything is six three,
five four, you know what I mean. Now, in some
of the more controversial cases, that can be the case,
but not every case you've got to yesterday that were unanimous.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael until showing up.
