Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard on
great radio stations across the country like News Talk ninety
two point one and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee,
or thirteen hundred The Patriot in Tulsa, our Talk six
fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. We invite you to listen
live while you're getting ready in the morning and to
take us along for the drive to work. But as
we always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining
(00:22):
us for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Well two three, starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding, because we're
in this to get.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
This is your morning show with Michael del Jorny. We've
heard on great radio stations like one O four nine
The Patriot in Saint Louis. Good morning to you and
the lou Also Freedom one of four point seven in Washington,
d C. And can't leave out News Talk five point
fifty KFYI in Phoenix, Arizona. And to all of you
(00:54):
that are listening on your iHeartRadio app, good morning and
welcome to your morning show. I'm Michael del Jorna. Were
talking earlier about one of my more interesting stories, which
was what each side needs to accomplish in the debate.
And it was a Washington Post story, so it's based
on this simple premise, and that is that Donald Trump
pretty much portrays and plays upon Joe Biden being old,
(01:18):
feeble and competent, disconnected, pretty much paraded around the world
like weekend in Bernie's falling up and downstairs, and that
his policies had failed. We would add to that too,
that he has two big strengths Donald Trump does, and
that is America's feelings about Joe Biden and America's feelings
about the border and the economy. And if he plugs
(01:41):
away at those, he'd be victorious in the debate. All
Joe Biden has is Donald Trump's the boogeyman. He's the paboch,
He's a tyrant, he's a dictator, and if he gets
in office, he'll never leave and democracy will die. And
so Donald Trump should probably try to avoid looking like that,
(02:07):
which is why the Washington Post is jumping on this story.
Donald Trump suggesting that migrants should fight for our entertainment. Yes,
these should be the kind of thing, shout, Donald probably
shouldn't be shaying. Trump claimed that two campaign events that
he told Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship,
that he should start a competition with migrants, including you know,
(02:34):
migrants fighting against migrants, to help his campaign rake in
money ahead of Novembers. Of that, I mean, yeah, obviously
those are kind of things that he needs to avoid
those moments in the debate. Let's play hunger games with
the illeagles. Yes, that's quite an idea. I thought i'd
add that one before we go into our states. Sorry,
So to the other two thirds of what I found
(02:56):
interesting this morning, if you would have asked me to
years ago, who would you like to see run against
whom in the twenty twenty four election, I would have said,
hands down, DeSantis versus Newsom. Not because I think DeSantis
could beat Newsom, or if you're from the left perspective,
(03:16):
Newsom could beat DeSantis, because I thought it would be
healthy for all of America by comparing two governors, and
it is an executive position the presidency, so it's a
pretty good precursor on the resume. But two governors from
two very different states because they are run by two
(03:37):
very different parties. See, states are great petri dishes at
the state level. You can do and no matter how
dumb it is, I will support your right to do
it if the people of your state support it and
give their consent. But time will tell whether it works
(03:59):
or not. State of Washington thought it was a great idea.
It's about five six years ago now, but let's just
bump minimum wage all the way up to fifteen dollars
after all, And this was the premise, you can't raise
a family of four on minimum wage, And of course
my question was why would you try to raise a
family of four on minimum wage? Minimum wage is simply
(04:19):
an entry level position. I made four dollars and sixty
cents an hour at WTIX in New Orleans three thirty five,
three thirty five for you. Yeah, that was my first
radio job, three thirty five, and I should have paid them.
I'm doing an overnight show learning how to run aboard.
(04:40):
Then I'm doing a disc jockey early morning sockop. Then
I'm hanging around with Ed Clancy and Dennis Pryor getting
a master's class in how to entertain on the radio.
I should have paid them. But that's what minimum wage is.
An entry level position. You're supposed to stay there. In fact,
if you're still there after six months, you got your
answer to your entry level. This is isn't the best
area for you to get into. So yeah, I made
(05:04):
four dollars and sixty cents for three months, and then
I was promoted evenings, and then I was moved to
Oklahoma City and now I'm here with you. But states
have rights to try stupid things. And it failed miserably.
These people didn't gain more work. In fact, for many
of them, they worked half as many hours. Ah, I
(05:26):
see the game they were playing. Oh well, now if
I make fifteen dollars an hour, yeah, I can't make
it Thursday night. I can't make it Friday night. More Disastrously,
their jobs were lost and replaced by technology. But you
have a right to do it and fail, and if
people don't like it, they can vote with their feet
(05:46):
and move. But when we make these same mistakes at
the national level, well then we all start really paying
for it. And so I often thought a DeSantis versus
Newsome so that America couldn't help. But notice Florida and California,
lowest tax burden versus highest tax burden, affordable housing versus
(06:12):
unaffordable housing. Believe it or not, California with the homelessness problem. Florida,
where it would be heasonable and more comfortable, doesn't. But
we didn't get that. We got the rematch between Trump
and Biden, So we'll miss that opportunity to compare those
states in reality, those different policies and how they work.
(06:38):
But it's all still there for you to see, and
you don't even have to dig very deep. Take the
Washington Post today, Washington Post doing this story. Two years ago,
California was so flush with money that Governor Gavin Newsom
moved to make a bold declaration about the state's estimated
one hundred billion dollar budget surplus. Now, when a state
(07:00):
as one hundred billion dollar budget surplus, they may have overtaxed.
But I digress simply without precedent, the Democrat leader said,
announcing the good news in May of twenty twenty two.
No other state in American history has ever experienced a
surplus as large as this. Do you think in twenty
(07:22):
twenty two he was thinking president, maybe even thinking matchup
with DeSantis, maybe even understanding what I'm discussing, California versus Florida.
You bet he was, even, the Washington Post says in
(07:43):
the next paragraph. In those heady days, the state's record
setting surplus of cash seemed like a resounding endorsement of
the California Way for America, bolstering Newsom's rising national profile
and president credentials. Unfortunately for Gavin Newsom and unfortunately for
(08:06):
businesses and residents in California, there's a paragraph four consequence.
You see, Ignorance is always bliss until consequence arrives at
the door. Washington Post says it this way, But fast
forward children to twenty twenty four, and the situation is
(08:27):
swung wildly in the opposite direction. The state, still the
wealthiest and most populous in the nation, is facing a
nearly fifty billion dollar budget shortfall in the coming fiscal year,
testing its commitment to an increasingly liberal agenda that it's
been advancing for years. Nobody ever says it out loud anymore.
(08:54):
But even if you were that progressive, even if you
were that left, it's not sustainable. Liberalism is an unsustainable,
unaffordable policy direction. Why see California. Now here's another way
(09:15):
of looking at it. Can you imagine if you were
the CEO of a large company and two years ago
that company had one hundred billion dollars of profit and
two years later it's fifty billion dollars in debt. Do
you think that CEO is getting fired? See? I don't
(09:37):
understand how governors and political leaders get away with such failures,
as if it wasn't their doing. It isn't ultimately the
buck stopping at their desk. But I boiled it down
in My Interesting world, which was singing Bruce Springsteen earlier.
(09:59):
Oh well, we missed in not having a DeSantis Newsom
matchup what we missed in America, not looking at Florida
and California to see how the policies of one worldview
work versus another, or maybe it's right there in the
Washington Post for.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
You this morning.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Meanwhile, we turn to the other side of America New York.
A Siena College Research poll released this week revealed Governor
Kathy Hokeel and President Biden's favorability ratings among New York
State voters are at their lowest point since their time
in office.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
You got to go, perhaps to the lonesome bad This
is usual where you.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Get rid of it, but let it go. I had
no idea that he starts hitting high notes and stuff. Yeah, man,
for hours, who I gart but you know, we talk
about what are the swing states, Well, swing states aren't
looking so swing anymore in fact, for Joe Body, And
if he wants to focus just on the swing stats,
(11:01):
he's got some other states he's gotta worry about. He's
got to stop competing in the swing states to go
secure up the foundational states. He's trailing in New Hampshire,
He's trailing in Virginia. Donald Trump is within eight points
in New York. Is New York? In play is New Jersey?
In play is Wisconsin? And play is Michigan? In play
(11:24):
let alone? Where's Pennsylvania? Nevada? By the way, that hurt?
Slap your head and think what are you doing it?
Did it too hard? That's gonna leave a mark? But
is New York and play? According to the poll, Hulkel
has a favorability rating of thirty eight percent. She nearly
(11:46):
lost in that midterm election that was riding on the
heights of the pro abortion movement. Because today, by the way,
is the two year anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling
an abortion. Hukele has a favorability rating of thirty eight percent,
while forty nine percent view her unfavorably. In addition, Hockel's
(12:07):
job approval rating is at the lowest forty four to
fifty percent. Now this is in New York. This would
suggest that progressives in Liberals and Democrats are all starting
to have a problem with their own platform and policy results.
You meanwhile, Wie, she's gonna have some company. President Biden
(12:28):
has a forty two to fifty three percent favorability rating
forty two percent approved, fifty three percent disapprove, down from
forty five and fifty. That ain't gotta fare too well.
I wonder what their view is gonna be after the debates.
(12:50):
I don't play this game. I'll live reality with you,
I'll think with you. I'll never tell you how to think.
But I got news. I guarantee you. Someone on the
left is playing one of two games. We're gonna get
America fixated on this presidency and lose, but we're gonna
steal the house and send it. And that's all that
(13:11):
really matters, because whoever wins is a lame duck anyway.
They can only serve one term. Give him the presidency,
Let's take the country and the real election for president
is four years from now. Or they're looking at this
and not only is there no way this guy can win,
but that little rumor you heard about can't stand up
(13:32):
for ninety minutes in the debate, or bombs in the debate,
and we're going to the bullpen. Heck, it may even
be that Kentucky baseball player with the blue mustache. And
that's my Oh, by the way, to have time. I
know we're run a little late. Yeah, go ahead, South
to go to Governor. Christy Noam on Sunday said that
former President Donald Trump should pick a running mate who
(13:53):
will help him win and indicated I have not been
formally vetted for the position. You shall the puppy and
the you lost. I haven't received any paperwork. No I haven't.
She told me the press you shot your dog and
yourself in the foot.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrona.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Well, there's a lot of people think I'm a little crazy.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
It was free.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I only know me, so I'm used to having all
these voices in my head. I do get glimpses that
remind me I'm not as normal as other people. How's that. Well,
the other day I was going through my to do
list and it was like teams call craft body scans,
spot pay bills, check up on mom's supplies, and get
some Charles Nelson Riley glasses. I'm like, okay, that is
(14:45):
a little strange because I just every now and then
I want you to look up and I'd be wearing
I'm going Charles Nelson. Righty? How that made it to
my to do list? I'll never know. These are your
top five stories of the day. Waking up on this Monday,
June the twenty fourth, President Biden and former President Donald
Trump gearing up for their first debate Thursday night. Mark
Mayfield has more.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
Biden has been meeting with advisors at Camp David. Trump
meanwhile held a rally in Philadelphia on Saturday and spoke
to a gathering of Christian conservatives in the nation's capital
that was organized by the Faith and Freedom Coalition. He
made a point of stressing his position on abortion, saying
he believes that states should set their own rules. Trump
also teas over the weekend that he's settled on a
running mate, but made no official announcement.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
SpaceX is celebrating two more successful launches. Tammy Trihilo report.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
The company successfully launched a Falcon nine rocket Sunday from
Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, carrying twenty two Starlink satellites
into low Earth orbit. SpaceX also launched another twenty Starling
satellites from Vandenburgh Space Force Space in California. The satellites
are designed to help spread high speed internet around the world.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I'm Tammy, Trihello, Willie Nelson will miss the kickoff of
his Outlaw Music Festival tour in Georgia. Lisa Cardon has more.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
On the road again, Kay wait to get on.
Speaker 8 (16:02):
The On Friday, just hours before the tour was supposed
to begin, his team released a statement saying Nelson isn't
feeling well and has been advised to rest the next
four days by his doctors. The other singers, including Bob Dylan,
will continue to perform as scheduled. Nelson's team said the
ninety one year old is expected to make a quick
(16:24):
recovery and join the Outlawn Music Festival tour next week.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I'm Lisa Carton, Hi, I'm Michael and your morning show
has heard on great radio stations across the country like
one oh five, nine, twelve fifty when Z and Tampa,
Florida News Radio five seventy wkb N and Youngstown, Ohio
and News Radio one thousand KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love
to have you listen to us live in the morning,
and of course we're so grateful you came for the podcast. Enjoy.
(16:50):
Thanks for waking up with your morning show on the
Aaron streaming live on your iHeartRadio app on Michael del Journer.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Well.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Today marks the two year anniversary since Roe v. Wade,
we overturned by the Supreme Court or sent back to
the States. A brutal heat wave continues. I experienced that
Friday golfing with my doctor. I thought I was going
to turn into an annual physical and President Biden and
former President Donald Trump both preparing And I'm not making
this up, nor am I making fun, but yes, part
(17:18):
of the preparation is their training show to stand up
for ninety st eight minutes. What if he can't do it,
what if he starts getting weak in the legs, They're
going to keep him tethered to the podium. And then
climate change protesters disrupted the eighteenth holl of the PGA
Tour Travelers Championship on Sunday, and Rory O'Neil was nowhere
(17:40):
near that incident, Rory, We apologize. I am slightly silly
and a little unprofessional this morning, but we will gear
up and do this right.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
McDonald's, stop mentioning those people that disrupted the PGA. If
we don't air a streaker during a World Series game,
why do we air on a loop the video of
Stonehenge and at the golf? Don't give them attention?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah, well, or give them the ability to see. If
I do it, I'll I'll get a lot of attention. Yeah,
but yeah, no that was If you can't, I can't
play any of the audio. Let me tell you something.
Golf fans did not respond well to the protest.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
They were that's not the audience. But yeah, wrong audience
video though.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Yeah. All right, So we have Starbucks, McDonald's and you'll
name a few others all rolling out deep discounts this summer.
I suspect to get us to forget all of the
deep fleecing they gave us earlier in the year.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Well, right, and well, is it?
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Was it fleecing or was it response to higher wages
in states like California, higher supply chain costs, higher transportation costs,
or were they just getting greedy and realized that maybe
we went a step or two too far. But as
you said, Burger King and McDonald's and Wendy's all now
offering these five dollars value meals trying to lure customers back.
(18:59):
We've seen Walm't target, Walgreens and Aldi also offering deals
mainly targeted at low income households, the households hit hardest
by inflation.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I'm trying to remember. I mean, it's a shameless plug
on a national show for a local restaurant. But we
walked in and finally tried Don Pep Base, which is
in Franklin on Murphysboro Road, and it was just an
amazing atmosphere. The food was spectacular, and I looked down
and I couldn't help but notice how affordable the prices were. Well,
(19:30):
that made a big impact. You know, every time I
take my family out, it's one hundred and fifty bucks
with tip, right, So that registered. But I started thinking
of steak and shake really got its act together here,
And I mean, I can eat a steak and shake
for the same price is if I chose McDonald's, Wendy's
or one of these others. I mean, at some point
(19:50):
they're having to come back to reality to compete.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
I would think, well, right now, or you could go
to was something like an Applebee's Chili's Fridays almost.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Right, I mean the spread the plugs around. But I
mean it ain't fast food. It ain't that fast anymore,
and it certainly ain't that cheap anymore. They better do
something because I can sit down and have a much
better meal somewhere else for the same price.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
He exactly, and get out of the car for a
minute if you want to as well. So we are
seeing this response, and look, a lot of these chains
have also realized, like Starbucks, did you see how much
money they're making now off these specialty drinks since there's
a ton of margin in there with what is essentially
a cup of ice and corn syrup. So they are
finding a lot of profit in those things.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
You you reeled off about five or six different angles,
and of course the answer is remember those questions in
school when you were cheaping off, I mean when you
were taking a test, and then you get to eat
all of the above, you know, I think in that
laundry list you gave earlier. Yeah, energy costs, you know,
when you're a restaurant. All you have is food and
labor costs. So if you raise them in on wage,
(20:53):
that's going to affect it. If you have, you know,
if the price of the meat or the potatoes or
any of the you know cons they go up, the
prices go up. And yes, in all of the inflation
and people getting used to it more and more, you
might even keep it there or add a little to it.
The answer was probably all of the above. Now the
(21:13):
question is five dollars meals to get us back? How
long will they stay? Because they go back up again,
I'm leaving again?
Speaker 5 (21:21):
Well right, And a lot of times that's also a
loss leader in that, Oh we'll get a five dollars
meal for the kids, because it really is a pretty
It's like four chicken nuggets are small fry and a
small drink.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I mean, that's a fine appetizer. But who we can,
so you know you're going to be lowing story.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
It comes from my school. We think a mid afternoon
snack is a pot roast.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
But you know, I'm going to drop fifteen dollars on
these five dollar meals. But yeah, and then does it
do the task though, of really luring people in to
buy the corn syrup.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Drink that has all the markup on it. And you know, I.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Would say, in all of the because you know, how
much time do you have, because I don't want to
make you late for anything.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
I don't know, I get going, okay.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I was just gonna say, I don't know about you,
but for me, whether it's COVID or whether it's this
window of high inflation, it has changed a lot of
habits and things right, and it's hard to get those
to change back. And it's going to take more than
a temporary five dollars meal, uh to do it. And
I think out of all of them, for me, there's
(22:24):
the chop house in Franklin, there's this don Pepees, There's
I'm trying to think of what the other one is. Oh,
but whatever that's Those are moneies I would have been spending,
perhaps at fast food, and I don't anymore because you know,
at the most, for two dollars more, I'm sitting down
and I'm having a real meal and talking.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
To real people bringing it to me, and I'm not
unwrapping it. Yeah, no, all bluses.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
And it's interesting, it's fascinating if you really watch the
Wall Street folks.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
They talk about the ozembic effect.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
And now that you've got more and more people on
these drugs, if it really is an appetite suppressant, you
may see an impact in the marketplace because they're not
eating as much.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Or it's typically junk vote or to end where we
started that all of the above effect. Well, there was
a time a kid could jump on a bike and
spend the summer exploring. Just be home before dark. Boy,
have times changed? Draw me back an hour three with
that story. Great reporting, Rory. Thanks, we'll talk again soon.
All right, if you're just waking up forty two minutes
after the hour for those of you on the East coast,
(23:28):
that's the old proverbial eighteen minutes to be to work
on time. And here are your top five stories and
things you need to know waking up this morning. Well,
President Biden former President Trump gearing up for their first
debate this coming Thursday. Mark Mayfield has details.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
Biden has been meeting with advisors at Camp David. Trump meanwhile,
held a rally in Philadelphia on Saturday and spoke to
a gathering of Christian conservatives in the nation's capital. I
was organized by the Faith and Freedom coalition. He made
a point of stressing his position on abortion, saying he
believes that states should.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Set their own rules.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
Trump so Tea's over the weekend that he's settled on
a running maid, but made no official announcement. I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
A lot of the people think he's going to be
the deep choice for Donald Trump. North Dakota Governor Doug
Bergham defending his claim that the US has become a
dictatorship under President Biden.
Speaker 9 (24:14):
Scott Carr has more, Bergham tell CNN State of the Union.
President Biden has bypassed Congress dozens of times to push
his agenda through the signing of executive orders.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
This president, more like any other, has bypassed Congress. He
is bypassing the other two branches of government to push
an ideological view.
Speaker 9 (24:31):
Bergham has been comparing Biden's tenure to a dictatorship as
he campaigns on behalf of former President Trump. The Republican
is considered to be on Trump's shortlist for vice president.
To date, records from the Federal Register than the National
Archives show President Biden has issued one hundred and thirty
nine executive orders and that President Trump during his four
years in office, signed two hundred and twenty.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
I'm Scott Carr in Washington. Think of all the presumption
that it would be Christy Nome from South Dakota tops
on the veep list, and it turns out it's the
North Dakota governor. She shot her puppy. What are you
gonna do this Danley Cup Trophy? Why would you tell
that story? I can make the tough decisions. Why I
(25:14):
shot my own puppy for crying out loud? More soon?
Crickets crickets. The Stanley Cup Trophy is always at the
Stanley Cup Finals, but tonight it'll take the ice. Tammy
Trehuilo has to two.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
The NHL Championships. One went away for either the Oilers
or the Panthers. Edmnton forced a decisive Game seven on
Friday night with a five to one blowout of the Panthers,
tying the best of seven hockey series at three games apiece.
The teams are back and Florida tonight to see who
wins the Cup. The Oilers are only the third team
in Stanley Cup history to force a Game seven in
(25:46):
the final. I'm Tammy triheo Well, an eight.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Year old dog is the World's Ugliest Dog from Oregon.
Mark Mayfield's back with the story.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
The annual contest was held Friday at the Marin Sonoma
County Fair in northern California, and top honors went to
the black and white Pekinese named wild Thing, whose tongue
sticks out permanently because his teeth didn't grow in properly.
His biography says wild Thing has causes that he champions
and has helped find safe homes for Pekinese dogs living
in Ukraine. It says he has already helped save seven.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Dogs from the war zone.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Hey, he's just the ugliest dog, that's all I picture.
This is what his voice.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Should be like.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yeah, muggly, give me a kiss. Game two or Game
three rather of the NCAA College Baseball World Series, and
the deciding game will be tonight. Balls forced that Game
three by winning four to one yesterday. Game three ESPN
seven o'clock tonight, and as we mentioned, Game seven of
the NHL Stanley Foot Cup Finals. If the Oilers should
win tonight, that's four straight after being down three to zero.
(26:46):
That'll be the first time that's happened since nineteen forty two.
When the Maple Leafs did it to the Red Wings
back and forth. I guess we live in Tennessee. That's
two must see games Major League Baseball, of your morning shows,
City interests, Cards one Raised one, Guardians One's Nats one,
Rangers one, Mariners and Dbacks who are only losers? And
(27:07):
birthdays today. Mick Fleetwood, a Fleetwood Mac, is seventy seven
years old. Soccer great Lino Messi is thirty seven. The
Little League World Series pitcher Mony Davis is twenty three,

Speaker 6 (27:21):
Lita cor the yard Boy, and my morning show is
your morning show with my buddy Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Today marks the two year anniversary since Roe v. Wade
was overturned by the Supreme Court. The brutal heat wave continues,
which I experienced Friday golfing, you know, but kind of
downplaying and making fun of it. So I went golfing
and then I was like, I've had like one hundred
and sixty ounces, and I am still I drove a
great to fall over. I drove through a Mennonite community
(27:48):
the other day and they were wearing long sleeve shirts
and a hat, and I was like, yeah, but was
a cart path only, No, it was. Meanwhile, President Biden
for President Trump are preparing for their first debate. They
are literally and I'm not making this up. It's in
our Sound of the day. They are training old Joe
to be able to just stand up for ninety minutes straight.
(28:09):
I got home from church yesterday and we went to
the bet base and had lunch, and then you know
how it is after you have a lot to eat it. Yeah, well,
I had good intentions. I was just gonna, you know,
hang out with the with the cat and pat him
for a while. The next thing, you know, he do
so then I woke up and Leag of their Own
was on. I forgot how great that movie was. There's
(28:32):
no crying in baseball, no crying in baseball, but I
wanted to. It reminded me because we discovered a new people.
I do this and then I apologize after potential binge alert.
Potential binge Alert. It's called Presumed Innocent with Jake Chillenhall.
It is outstanding and if you start today, there are
(28:54):
three episodes in the forthcoming this Wednesday. But I got
to tell you Netflix, Presumed Innocent. That could be the
summer binge of twenty twenty four. All Right, sounds of
the day, as we mentioned, and thank you for the
Netflix sound effect. I caught it anyway. Yeah, for Joe Biden,
(29:15):
Number one, can he stand for ninety minutes? That was
all the discussion on ABC News.
Speaker 10 (29:23):
Now part two of that phil of that debate prep.
It's going to be actually putting that into action with
these mock debates. This is going to include a ninety
minute formal debate where the president is standing up honest
feet the entire time, trying to mirror what he's going
to have to do in real time next week.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Now, they fought for all the rules they got, and
they fought for a rule they didn't get, which was
have them sitting down.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Now.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
I don't know why they didn't draw the line there,
but there is a question. Can Joe Biden stanned for
ninety minutes? Never mind be prepared? There was a great
piece in the Washington Posts, and this is why we
have the podcast. We did it in depth in the
first hour, and it's based on this premise. Donald Trump's
(30:13):
campaign argues Joe Biden's feeble, incompetent, disconnected from reality. He's
just falling up and downstairs and chipped around to the
world on planes like weekends with Bernie. And that's not
even bringing up is it really him? There's it a
CIA mask. So obviously, if you believe in that premise,
(30:35):
and there's other things. His approval rating is the lowest
in presidential history, it would certainly suggest he's about to
be fired. The things that matter most to America is
not the end of democracy, is not Roe v. Wade
being sent back to the States. It's the border, and
it's the economy, and they hold him and his policies responsible.
(30:57):
That's Joe Biden's really all big problems. But him looking old,
wandering off stage, going blank and losing his thought, rambling
speaking another language as he's been known to do, or
storytelling an exaggeration has he been known to do. This
(31:19):
would be disastrous for him. That much of the premise
I agree with. And then of course Biden's campaign they
played the Puloch card. Donald Trump is the Boogeyman, the pava,
the orange Man, the dictator. If elected, he'll never leave
democracy as we know it will be over. So him
looking unhinged or extreme would be something to avoid. Based
(31:43):
on that premise, the wing the article doesn't really get
into which is I think a real problem is that
Donald Trump was president and not long ago, and people
feel like other than COVID, and both followed Fauci and
made mistakes. With COVID, things are a lot worse, especially
at the border, especially economically, and especially in terms of wars,
(32:07):
rumors of wars and peace through strength. But if and
the Washington Post itself is trying to schlep the story
today that Donald Trump made a couple of mentions of
you know, maybe like playing war games with the illegal
immigrants and have them extreme fight each other for our entertainment.
Statements like that he should probably try to avoid. We
(32:33):
know that four years ago the plan was control the
narrative with the media, control any opposing thought with social media,
and then change election laws with COVID and don't go
through state legislatures. Then harvest ballots and steal the election
fair and square. After all, it's to say democracy. The
(32:56):
problem is nobody believes the media anymore. Social media has
been half bought out by X and I don't have
to tell you there's no COVID, so all that's left
to really change things of the debates and the Convention,
and here comes the debate.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
Debates Thursday night. We're all in this together. This is
your Morning Show with Michael Del Joana
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard on
great radio stations across the country like News Talk ninety
two point one and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee,
or thirteen hundred The Patriot in Tulsa, our Talk six
fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. We invite you to listen
live while you're getting ready in the morning and to
take us along for the drive to work. But as
we always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining
(00:22):
us for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Well two three, starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding, because we're
in this to get.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
This is your morning show with Michael del Jorny. We've
heard on great radio stations like one O four nine
The Patriot in Saint Louis. Good morning to you and
the lou Also Freedom one of four point seven in Washington,
d C. And can't leave out News Talk five point
fifty KFYI in Phoenix, Arizona. And to all of you
(00:54):
that are listening on your iHeartRadio app, good morning and
welcome to your morning show. I'm Michael del Jorna. Were
talking earlier about one of my more interesting stories, which
was what each side needs to accomplish in the debate.
And it was a Washington Post story, so it's based
on this simple premise, and that is that Donald Trump
pretty much portrays and plays upon Joe Biden being old,
(01:18):
feeble and competent, disconnected, pretty much paraded around the world
like weekend in Bernie's falling up and downstairs, and that
his policies had failed. We would add to that too,
that he has two big strengths Donald Trump does, and
that is America's feelings about Joe Biden and America's feelings
about the border and the economy. And if he plugs
(01:41):
away at those, he'd be victorious in the debate. All
Joe Biden has is Donald Trump's the boogeyman. He's the paboch,
He's a tyrant, he's a dictator, and if he gets
in office, he'll never leave and democracy will die. And
so Donald Trump should probably try to avoid looking like that,
(02:07):
which is why the Washington Post is jumping on this story.
Donald Trump suggesting that migrants should fight for our entertainment. Yes,
these should be the kind of thing, shout, Donald probably
shouldn't be shaying. Trump claimed that two campaign events that
he told Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship,
that he should start a competition with migrants, including you know,
(02:34):
migrants fighting against migrants, to help his campaign rake in
money ahead of Novembers. Of that, I mean, yeah, obviously
those are kind of things that he needs to avoid
those moments in the debate. Let's play hunger games with
the illeagles. Yes, that's quite an idea. I thought i'd
add that one before we go into our states. Sorry,
So to the other two thirds of what I found
(02:56):
interesting this morning, if you would have asked me to
years ago, who would you like to see run against
whom in the twenty twenty four election, I would have said,
hands down, DeSantis versus Newsom. Not because I think DeSantis
could beat Newsom, or if you're from the left perspective,
(03:16):
Newsom could beat DeSantis, because I thought it would be
healthy for all of America by comparing two governors, and
it is an executive position the presidency, so it's a
pretty good precursor on the resume. But two governors from
two very different states because they are run by two
(03:37):
very different parties. See, states are great petri dishes at
the state level. You can do and no matter how
dumb it is, I will support your right to do
it if the people of your state support it and
give their consent. But time will tell whether it works
(03:59):
or not. State of Washington thought it was a great idea.
It's about five six years ago now, but let's just
bump minimum wage all the way up to fifteen dollars
after all, And this was the premise, you can't raise
a family of four on minimum wage, And of course
my question was why would you try to raise a
family of four on minimum wage? Minimum wage is simply
(04:19):
an entry level position. I made four dollars and sixty
cents an hour at WTIX in New Orleans three thirty five,
three thirty five for you. Yeah, that was my first
radio job, three thirty five, and I should have paid them.
I'm doing an overnight show learning how to run aboard.
(04:40):
Then I'm doing a disc jockey early morning sockop. Then
I'm hanging around with Ed Clancy and Dennis Pryor getting
a master's class in how to entertain on the radio.
I should have paid them. But that's what minimum wage is.
An entry level position. You're supposed to stay there. In fact,
if you're still there after six months, you got your
answer to your entry level. This is isn't the best
area for you to get into. So yeah, I made
(05:04):
four dollars and sixty cents for three months, and then
I was promoted evenings, and then I was moved to
Oklahoma City and now I'm here with you. But states
have rights to try stupid things. And it failed miserably.
These people didn't gain more work. In fact, for many
of them, they worked half as many hours. Ah, I
(05:26):
see the game they were playing. Oh well, now if
I make fifteen dollars an hour, yeah, I can't make
it Thursday night. I can't make it Friday night. More Disastrously,
their jobs were lost and replaced by technology. But you
have a right to do it and fail, and if
people don't like it, they can vote with their feet
(05:46):
and move. But when we make these same mistakes at
the national level, well then we all start really paying
for it. And so I often thought a DeSantis versus
Newsome so that America couldn't help. But notice Florida and California,
lowest tax burden versus highest tax burden, affordable housing versus
(06:12):
unaffordable housing. Believe it or not, California with the homelessness problem. Florida,
where it would be heasonable and more comfortable, doesn't. But
we didn't get that. We got the rematch between Trump
and Biden, So we'll miss that opportunity to compare those
states in reality, those different policies and how they work.
(06:38):
But it's all still there for you to see, and
you don't even have to dig very deep. Take the
Washington Post today, Washington Post doing this story. Two years ago,
California was so flush with money that Governor Gavin Newsom
moved to make a bold declaration about the state's estimated
one hundred billion dollar budget surplus. Now, when a state
(07:00):
as one hundred billion dollar budget surplus, they may have overtaxed.
But I digress simply without precedent, the Democrat leader said,
announcing the good news in May of twenty twenty two.
No other state in American history has ever experienced a
surplus as large as this. Do you think in twenty
(07:22):
twenty two he was thinking president, maybe even thinking matchup
with DeSantis, maybe even understanding what I'm discussing, California versus Florida.
You bet he was, even, the Washington Post says in
(07:43):
the next paragraph. In those heady days, the state's record
setting surplus of cash seemed like a resounding endorsement of
the California Way for America, bolstering Newsom's rising national profile
and president credentials. Unfortunately for Gavin Newsom and unfortunately for
(08:06):
businesses and residents in California, there's a paragraph four consequence.
You see, Ignorance is always bliss until consequence arrives at
the door. Washington Post says it this way, But fast
forward children to twenty twenty four, and the situation is
(08:27):
swung wildly in the opposite direction. The state, still the
wealthiest and most populous in the nation, is facing a
nearly fifty billion dollar budget shortfall in the coming fiscal year,
testing its commitment to an increasingly liberal agenda that it's
been advancing for years. Nobody ever says it out loud anymore.
(08:54):
But even if you were that progressive, even if you
were that left, it's not sustainable. Liberalism is an unsustainable,
unaffordable policy direction. Why see California. Now here's another way
(09:15):
of looking at it. Can you imagine if you were
the CEO of a large company and two years ago
that company had one hundred billion dollars of profit and
two years later it's fifty billion dollars in debt. Do
you think that CEO is getting fired? See? I don't
(09:37):
understand how governors and political leaders get away with such failures,
as if it wasn't their doing. It isn't ultimately the
buck stopping at their desk. But I boiled it down
in My Interesting world, which was singing Bruce Springsteen earlier.
(09:59):
Oh well, we missed in not having a DeSantis Newsom
matchup what we missed in America, not looking at Florida
and California to see how the policies of one worldview
work versus another, or maybe it's right there in the
Washington Post for.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
You this morning.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Meanwhile, we turn to the other side of America New York.
A Siena College Research poll released this week revealed Governor
Kathy Hokeel and President Biden's favorability ratings among New York
State voters are at their lowest point since their time
in office.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
You got to go, perhaps to the lonesome bad This
is usual where you.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Get rid of it, but let it go. I had
no idea that he starts hitting high notes and stuff. Yeah, man,
for hours, who I gart but you know, we talk
about what are the swing states, Well, swing states aren't
looking so swing anymore in fact, for Joe Body, And
if he wants to focus just on the swing stats,
(11:01):
he's got some other states he's gotta worry about. He's
got to stop competing in the swing states to go
secure up the foundational states. He's trailing in New Hampshire,
He's trailing in Virginia. Donald Trump is within eight points
in New York. Is New York? In play is New Jersey?
In play is Wisconsin? And play is Michigan? In play
(11:24):
let alone? Where's Pennsylvania? Nevada? By the way, that hurt?
Slap your head and think what are you doing it?
Did it too hard? That's gonna leave a mark? But
is New York and play? According to the poll, Hulkel
has a favorability rating of thirty eight percent. She nearly
(11:46):
lost in that midterm election that was riding on the
heights of the pro abortion movement. Because today, by the way,
is the two year anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling
an abortion. Hukele has a favorability rating of thirty eight percent,
while forty nine percent view her unfavorably. In addition, Hockel's
(12:07):
job approval rating is at the lowest forty four to
fifty percent. Now this is in New York. This would
suggest that progressives in Liberals and Democrats are all starting
to have a problem with their own platform and policy results.
You meanwhile, Wie, she's gonna have some company. President Biden
(12:28):
has a forty two to fifty three percent favorability rating
forty two percent approved, fifty three percent disapprove, down from
forty five and fifty. That ain't gotta fare too well.
I wonder what their view is gonna be after the debates.
(12:50):
I don't play this game. I'll live reality with you,
I'll think with you. I'll never tell you how to think.
But I got news. I guarantee you. Someone on the
left is playing one of two games. We're gonna get
America fixated on this presidency and lose, but we're gonna
steal the house and send it. And that's all that
(13:11):
really matters, because whoever wins is a lame duck anyway.
They can only serve one term. Give him the presidency,
Let's take the country and the real election for president
is four years from now. Or they're looking at this
and not only is there no way this guy can win,
but that little rumor you heard about can't stand up
(13:32):
for ninety minutes in the debate, or bombs in the debate,
and we're going to the bullpen. Heck, it may even
be that Kentucky baseball player with the blue mustache. And
that's my Oh, by the way, to have time. I
know we're run a little late. Yeah, go ahead, South
to go to Governor. Christy Noam on Sunday said that
former President Donald Trump should pick a running mate who
(13:53):
will help him win and indicated I have not been
formally vetted for the position. You shall the puppy and
the you lost. I haven't received any paperwork. No I haven't.
She told me the press you shot your dog and
yourself in the foot.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrona.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Well, there's a lot of people think I'm a little crazy.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
It was free.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I only know me, so I'm used to having all
these voices in my head. I do get glimpses that
remind me I'm not as normal as other people. How's that. Well,
the other day I was going through my to do
list and it was like teams call craft body scans,
spot pay bills, check up on mom's supplies, and get
some Charles Nelson Riley glasses. I'm like, okay, that is
(14:45):
a little strange because I just every now and then
I want you to look up and I'd be wearing
I'm going Charles Nelson. Righty? How that made it to
my to do list? I'll never know. These are your
top five stories of the day. Waking up on this Monday,
June the twenty fourth, President Biden and former President Donald
Trump gearing up for their first debate Thursday night. Mark
Mayfield has more.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
Biden has been meeting with advisors at Camp David. Trump
meanwhile held a rally in Philadelphia on Saturday and spoke
to a gathering of Christian conservatives in the nation's capital
that was organized by the Faith and Freedom Coalition. He
made a point of stressing his position on abortion, saying
he believes that states should set their own rules. Trump
also teas over the weekend that he's settled on a
running mate, but made no official announcement.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
SpaceX is celebrating two more successful launches. Tammy Trihilo report.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
The company successfully launched a Falcon nine rocket Sunday from
Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, carrying twenty two Starlink satellites
into low Earth orbit. SpaceX also launched another twenty Starling
satellites from Vandenburgh Space Force Space in California. The satellites
are designed to help spread high speed internet around the world.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I'm Tammy, Trihello, Willie Nelson will miss the kickoff of
his Outlaw Music Festival tour in Georgia. Lisa Cardon has more.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
On the road again, Kay wait to get on.
Speaker 8 (16:02):
The On Friday, just hours before the tour was supposed
to begin, his team released a statement saying Nelson isn't
feeling well and has been advised to rest the next
four days by his doctors. The other singers, including Bob Dylan,
will continue to perform as scheduled. Nelson's team said the
ninety one year old is expected to make a quick
(16:24):
recovery and join the Outlawn Music Festival tour next week.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I'm Lisa Carton, Hi, I'm Michael and your morning show
has heard on great radio stations across the country like
one oh five, nine, twelve fifty when Z and Tampa,
Florida News Radio five seventy wkb N and Youngstown, Ohio
and News Radio one thousand KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love
to have you listen to us live in the morning,
and of course we're so grateful you came for the podcast. Enjoy.
(16:50):
Thanks for waking up with your morning show on the
Aaron streaming live on your iHeartRadio app on Michael del Journer.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Well.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Today marks the two year anniversary since Roe v. Wade,
we overturned by the Supreme Court or sent back to
the States. A brutal heat wave continues. I experienced that
Friday golfing with my doctor. I thought I was going
to turn into an annual physical and President Biden and
former President Donald Trump both preparing And I'm not making
this up, nor am I making fun, but yes, part
(17:18):
of the preparation is their training show to stand up
for ninety st eight minutes. What if he can't do it,
what if he starts getting weak in the legs, They're
going to keep him tethered to the podium. And then
climate change protesters disrupted the eighteenth holl of the PGA
Tour Travelers Championship on Sunday, and Rory O'Neil was nowhere
(17:40):
near that incident, Rory, We apologize. I am slightly silly
and a little unprofessional this morning, but we will gear
up and do this right.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
McDonald's, stop mentioning those people that disrupted the PGA. If
we don't air a streaker during a World Series game,
why do we air on a loop the video of
Stonehenge and at the golf? Don't give them attention?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah, well, or give them the ability to see. If
I do it, I'll I'll get a lot of attention. Yeah,
but yeah, no that was If you can't, I can't
play any of the audio. Let me tell you something.
Golf fans did not respond well to the protest.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
They were that's not the audience. But yeah, wrong audience
video though.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Yeah. All right, So we have Starbucks, McDonald's and you'll
name a few others all rolling out deep discounts this summer.
I suspect to get us to forget all of the
deep fleecing they gave us earlier in the year.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Well, right, and well, is it?
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Was it fleecing or was it response to higher wages
in states like California, higher supply chain costs, higher transportation costs,
or were they just getting greedy and realized that maybe
we went a step or two too far. But as
you said, Burger King and McDonald's and Wendy's all now
offering these five dollars value meals trying to lure customers back.
(18:59):
We've seen Walm't target, Walgreens and Aldi also offering deals
mainly targeted at low income households, the households hit hardest
by inflation.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I'm trying to remember. I mean, it's a shameless plug
on a national show for a local restaurant. But we
walked in and finally tried Don Pep Base, which is
in Franklin on Murphysboro Road, and it was just an
amazing atmosphere. The food was spectacular, and I looked down
and I couldn't help but notice how affordable the prices were. Well,
(19:30):
that made a big impact. You know, every time I
take my family out, it's one hundred and fifty bucks
with tip, right, So that registered. But I started thinking
of steak and shake really got its act together here,
And I mean, I can eat a steak and shake
for the same price is if I chose McDonald's, Wendy's
or one of these others. I mean, at some point
(19:50):
they're having to come back to reality to compete.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
I would think, well, right now, or you could go
to was something like an Applebee's Chili's Fridays almost.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Right, I mean the spread the plugs around. But I
mean it ain't fast food. It ain't that fast anymore,
and it certainly ain't that cheap anymore. They better do
something because I can sit down and have a much
better meal somewhere else for the same price.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
He exactly, and get out of the car for a
minute if you want to as well. So we are
seeing this response, and look, a lot of these chains
have also realized, like Starbucks, did you see how much
money they're making now off these specialty drinks since there's
a ton of margin in there with what is essentially
a cup of ice and corn syrup. So they are
finding a lot of profit in those things.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
You you reeled off about five or six different angles,
and of course the answer is remember those questions in
school when you were cheaping off, I mean when you
were taking a test, and then you get to eat
all of the above, you know, I think in that
laundry list you gave earlier. Yeah, energy costs, you know,
when you're a restaurant. All you have is food and
labor costs. So if you raise them in on wage,
(20:53):
that's going to affect it. If you have, you know,
if the price of the meat or the potatoes or
any of the you know cons they go up, the
prices go up. And yes, in all of the inflation
and people getting used to it more and more, you
might even keep it there or add a little to it.
The answer was probably all of the above. Now the
(21:13):
question is five dollars meals to get us back? How
long will they stay? Because they go back up again,
I'm leaving again?
Speaker 5 (21:21):
Well right, And a lot of times that's also a
loss leader in that, Oh we'll get a five dollars
meal for the kids, because it really is a pretty
It's like four chicken nuggets are small fry and a
small drink.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I mean, that's a fine appetizer. But who we can,
so you know you're going to be lowing story.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
It comes from my school. We think a mid afternoon
snack is a pot roast.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
But you know, I'm going to drop fifteen dollars on
these five dollar meals. But yeah, and then does it
do the task though, of really luring people in to
buy the corn syrup.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Drink that has all the markup on it. And you know, I.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Would say, in all of the because you know, how
much time do you have, because I don't want to
make you late for anything.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
I don't know, I get going, okay.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I was just gonna say, I don't know about you,
but for me, whether it's COVID or whether it's this
window of high inflation, it has changed a lot of
habits and things right, and it's hard to get those
to change back. And it's going to take more than
a temporary five dollars meal, uh to do it. And
I think out of all of them, for me, there's
(22:24):
the chop house in Franklin, there's this don Pepees, There's
I'm trying to think of what the other one is. Oh,
but whatever that's Those are moneies I would have been spending,
perhaps at fast food, and I don't anymore because you know,
at the most, for two dollars more, I'm sitting down
and I'm having a real meal and talking.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
To real people bringing it to me, and I'm not
unwrapping it. Yeah, no, all bluses.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
And it's interesting, it's fascinating if you really watch the
Wall Street folks.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
They talk about the ozembic effect.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
And now that you've got more and more people on
these drugs, if it really is an appetite suppressant, you
may see an impact in the marketplace because they're not
eating as much.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Or it's typically junk vote or to end where we
started that all of the above effect. Well, there was
a time a kid could jump on a bike and
spend the summer exploring. Just be home before dark. Boy,
have times changed? Draw me back an hour three with
that story. Great reporting, Rory. Thanks, we'll talk again soon.
All right, if you're just waking up forty two minutes
after the hour for those of you on the East coast,
(23:28):
that's the old proverbial eighteen minutes to be to work
on time. And here are your top five stories and
things you need to know waking up this morning. Well,
President Biden former President Trump gearing up for their first
debate this coming Thursday. Mark Mayfield has details.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
Biden has been meeting with advisors at Camp David. Trump meanwhile,
held a rally in Philadelphia on Saturday and spoke to
a gathering of Christian conservatives in the nation's capital. I
was organized by the Faith and Freedom coalition. He made
a point of stressing his position on abortion, saying he
believes that states should.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Set their own rules.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
Trump so Tea's over the weekend that he's settled on
a running maid, but made no official announcement. I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
A lot of the people think he's going to be
the deep choice for Donald Trump. North Dakota Governor Doug
Bergham defending his claim that the US has become a
dictatorship under President Biden.
Speaker 9 (24:14):
Scott Carr has more, Bergham tell CNN State of the Union.
President Biden has bypassed Congress dozens of times to push
his agenda through the signing of executive orders.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
This president, more like any other, has bypassed Congress. He
is bypassing the other two branches of government to push
an ideological view.
Speaker 9 (24:31):
Bergham has been comparing Biden's tenure to a dictatorship as
he campaigns on behalf of former President Trump. The Republican
is considered to be on Trump's shortlist for vice president.
To date, records from the Federal Register than the National
Archives show President Biden has issued one hundred and thirty
nine executive orders and that President Trump during his four
years in office, signed two hundred and twenty.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
I'm Scott Carr in Washington. Think of all the presumption
that it would be Christy Nome from South Dakota tops
on the veep list, and it turns out it's the
North Dakota governor. She shot her puppy. What are you
gonna do this Danley Cup Trophy? Why would you tell
that story? I can make the tough decisions. Why I
(25:14):
shot my own puppy for crying out loud? More soon?
Crickets crickets. The Stanley Cup Trophy is always at the
Stanley Cup Finals, but tonight it'll take the ice. Tammy
Trehuilo has to two.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
The NHL Championships. One went away for either the Oilers
or the Panthers. Edmnton forced a decisive Game seven on
Friday night with a five to one blowout of the Panthers,
tying the best of seven hockey series at three games apiece.
The teams are back and Florida tonight to see who
wins the Cup. The Oilers are only the third team
in Stanley Cup history to force a Game seven in
(25:46):
the final. I'm Tammy triheo Well, an eight.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Year old dog is the World's Ugliest Dog from Oregon.
Mark Mayfield's back with the story.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
The annual contest was held Friday at the Marin Sonoma
County Fair in northern California, and top honors went to
the black and white Pekinese named wild Thing, whose tongue
sticks out permanently because his teeth didn't grow in properly.
His biography says wild Thing has causes that he champions
and has helped find safe homes for Pekinese dogs living
in Ukraine. It says he has already helped save seven.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Dogs from the war zone.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Hey, he's just the ugliest dog, that's all I picture.
This is what his voice.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Should be like.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yeah, muggly, give me a kiss. Game two or Game
three rather of the NCAA College Baseball World Series, and
the deciding game will be tonight. Balls forced that Game
three by winning four to one yesterday. Game three ESPN
seven o'clock tonight, and as we mentioned, Game seven of
the NHL Stanley Foot Cup Finals. If the Oilers should
win tonight, that's four straight after being down three to zero.
(26:46):
That'll be the first time that's happened since nineteen forty two.
When the Maple Leafs did it to the Red Wings
back and forth. I guess we live in Tennessee. That's
two must see games Major League Baseball, of your morning shows,
City interests, Cards one Raised one, Guardians One's Nats one,
Rangers one, Mariners and Dbacks who are only losers? And
(27:07):
birthdays today. Mick Fleetwood, a Fleetwood Mac, is seventy seven
years old. Soccer great Lino Messi is thirty seven. The
Little League World Series pitcher Mony Davis is twenty three,
which means he's really twenty six.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
Lita cor the yard Boy, and my morning show is
your morning show with my buddy Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Today marks the two year anniversary since Roe v. Wade
was overturned by the Supreme Court. The brutal heat wave continues,
which I experienced Friday golfing, you know, but kind of
downplaying and making fun of it. So I went golfing
and then I was like, I've had like one hundred
and sixty ounces, and I am still I drove a
great to fall over. I drove through a Mennonite community
(27:48):
the other day and they were wearing long sleeve shirts
and a hat, and I was like, yeah, but was
a cart path only, No, it was. Meanwhile, President Biden
for President Trump are preparing for their first debate. They
are literally and I'm not making this up. It's in
our Sound of the day. They are training old Joe
to be able to just stand up for ninety minutes straight.
(28:09):
I got home from church yesterday and we went to
the bet base and had lunch, and then you know
how it is after you have a lot to eat it. Yeah, well,
I had good intentions. I was just gonna, you know,
hang out with the with the cat and pat him
for a while. The next thing, you know, he do
so then I woke up and Leag of their Own
was on. I forgot how great that movie was. There's
(28:32):
no crying in baseball, no crying in baseball, but I
wanted to. It reminded me because we discovered a new people.
I do this and then I apologize after potential binge alert.
Potential binge Alert. It's called Presumed Innocent with Jake Chillenhall.
It is outstanding and if you start today, there are
(28:54):
three episodes in the forthcoming this Wednesday. But I got
to tell you Netflix, Presumed Innocent. That could be the
summer binge of twenty twenty four. All Right, sounds of
the day, as we mentioned, and thank you for the
Netflix sound effect. I caught it anyway. Yeah, for Joe Biden,
(29:15):
Number one, can he stand for ninety minutes? That was
all the discussion on ABC News.
Speaker 10 (29:23):
Now part two of that phil of that debate prep.
It's going to be actually putting that into action with
these mock debates. This is going to include a ninety
minute formal debate where the president is standing up honest
feet the entire time, trying to mirror what he's going
to have to do in real time next week.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Now, they fought for all the rules they got, and
they fought for a rule they didn't get, which was
have them sitting down.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Now.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
I don't know why they didn't draw the line there,
but there is a question. Can Joe Biden stanned for
ninety minutes? Never mind be prepared? There was a great
piece in the Washington Posts, and this is why we
have the podcast. We did it in depth in the
first hour, and it's based on this premise. Donald Trump's
(30:13):
campaign argues Joe Biden's feeble, incompetent, disconnected from reality. He's
just falling up and downstairs and chipped around to the
world on planes like weekends with Bernie. And that's not
even bringing up is it really him? There's it a
CIA mask. So obviously, if you believe in that premise,
(30:35):
and there's other things. His approval rating is the lowest
in presidential history, it would certainly suggest he's about to
be fired. The things that matter most to America is
not the end of democracy, is not Roe v. Wade
being sent back to the States. It's the border, and
it's the economy, and they hold him and his policies responsible.
(30:57):
That's Joe Biden's really all big problems. But him looking old,
wandering off stage, going blank and losing his thought, rambling
speaking another language as he's been known to do, or
storytelling an exaggeration has he been known to do. This
(31:19):
would be disastrous for him. That much of the premise
I agree with. And then of course Biden's campaign they
played the Puloch card. Donald Trump is the Boogeyman, the pava,
the orange Man, the dictator. If elected, he'll never leave
democracy as we know it will be over. So him
looking unhinged or extreme would be something to avoid. Based
(31:43):
on that premise, the wing the article doesn't really get
into which is I think a real problem is that
Donald Trump was president and not long ago, and people
feel like other than COVID, and both followed Fauci and
made mistakes. With COVID, things are a lot worse, especially
at the border, especially economically, and especially in terms of wars,
(32:07):
rumors of wars and peace through strength. But if and
the Washington Post itself is trying to schlep the story
today that Donald Trump made a couple of mentions of
you know, maybe like playing war games with the illegal
immigrants and have them extreme fight each other for our entertainment.
Statements like that he should probably try to avoid. We
(32:33):
know that four years ago the plan was control the
narrative with the media, control any opposing thought with social media,
and then change election laws with COVID and don't go
through state legislatures. Then harvest ballots and steal the election
fair and square. After all, it's to say democracy. The
(32:56):
problem is nobody believes the media anymore. Social media has
been half bought out by X and I don't have
to tell you there's no COVID, so all that's left
to really change things of the debates and the Convention,
and here comes the debate.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
Debates Thursday night. We're all in this together. This is
