Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show airs live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happy you're here now. Enjoy the podcast two.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Three, starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Well, because we're in the stage.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
This is your morning show with Michae Opel Trump.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
ABC News confirms President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris
will debate on September tenth. May even get two more.
After that tropical Storm Debbie formerly known as Hurricane Debbie,
breaking havoc in the Carolinas with heavy rain of tornadoes,
headed to New York today And while we survived and
dodged a bullet, I actually thought the US men's basketball
(00:52):
team was going to go down down sixteen heading into
the fourth quarter, but came back to win. They'll go
for gold and the US continues to dominate Paris with
one hundred and three total medals, number one in every category,
thirty gold, thirty eight silver, and thirty five bronze. Good morning,
and welcome to Friday, August the ninth, twenty twenty four,
on the Aaron streaming live on your iHeart app.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Joorno.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
By the way, I don't know if David Znati, CEO
of the American Policy Roundtable, host of The Public Square,
and host of eighteen fifty main Street dot Com notice,
but in our show sheet, I gave you a new title.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
I had noticed. Good morning, Michael, you did notice?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Did you like it? Or does it make you feel old?
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I was trying to avoid words like favorite, you know,
lifelong friend, stuff like that, and I wanted to sound
kind of foxy, So I went with CEO of the
American Policy Roundtable in your Morning show, senior correspondent David
Znati joining us this morning.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
I played it was a senior correspondent. I think it
was even different than that.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
It was, oh, senior contributor, senior contributor, contributor, Yes, a sutor.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
I like it.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Yeah, well, I'm good with that.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Best favorite senior. I don't know what to call you. Hey,
DZ's here, all right?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
So I played this clip earlier of Kevin O'Leary, and
I don't want to get into a whole Kevin O'Leary conversation,
but it was just what he was talking about with
Piers Morgan. And because you know how there's like a
sea of noise, and then very rarely on television, sometimes
raally on radio do you come across a meaningful, substantive conversation,
(02:29):
And this one just grabbed me for some reason. And
he was just discussing three things, the first being how well,
the reason you're not hearing from Kamala Harris and you're
not going to hear from Kamala Harris other than a
commercial or a teleprompter at a rally is they're gonna
milk the fundraising before she ever does an interview, before
she ever does a debate. They're gonna milk this as
(02:50):
long as they can, because once she starts talking, there's
not gonna be as much money flowing.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
There's nothing but trouble ahead.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
And then he talked about potentially a pivot to the
middle or a net necessary pivot that should happen, though
I think they're proudly far left. Is that really what
we're witnessing that they hit Joe Biden in a basement
and could get away with the COVID they're going to
hide her and plain sight until they're done milking all
the fundraising.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Well, I think it goes beyond fund raising as well.
We have a situation here where this is, this election
has been reduced now to at best a high school
student council election. And these are the tactics and the techniques.
What it's going to come down to is the shift
now is the cool kids are all with Kamala Harris
(03:39):
and if you're not the cool kids, then you're out
of touch with reality and you're well, you're just playing weird.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Now.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Bringing weird into the conversation, as Tim Watson has done,
is most interesting. I know you are paying attention to
this because when you look at the definition of weird
for starters, it breaks the eye before e formula in
how to spell things. So weird is weird from the
start because it's one of the most misspelled words of
(04:10):
all time. Weird also has a very dark connotation to it.
It goes all the way back to the way that
Shakespeare used it in regards to depicting weird as evil.
And so when you go back to Hillary Clinton and
the basket of irredeemable irredeemable deplorables. We've now walked that
(04:32):
right back and picked up that narrative. Here we are
again with someone branding their political opponents as evil, out
of touch with reality, and something that's really to be avoided.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
I think Israel, everybody knows, is going to be something
we look at after this election, especially if Donald Trump
wins and said, boyd, that eye problem was real and
that a problem Trump had wasn't nearly as big of
a deal as the.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Eye problem was for the Democrats.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
I don't think people get this yet or I'm going
to be very, very wrong, but RFK is going to
be a big problem we're going to talk about if
Donald Trump goes on to win. But it's interesting. They're
never going to use the word deplorable again, but they
keep finding a new one every cycle to use. Is weird,
the new deplorable.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
Weird is the new deplorable. And it's actually the gateway
by which Walls got into the vice presidency because he
used it and everyone it caught fire across the corporate media,
and so yeah, I think this is it. I think
that's what you've got.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Davidsonauti joining US CEO of the American Policy roundtable hosted
the Public Square in a very distinguished Your Morning Show
senior correspondent and contributor contributor. I keep saying correspondents, contributor
bigger than.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
Them.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Since I'm not a reporter, I'm just a real friend
of Your Morning of you.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
I'm starting to figure out what the HA have to call you.
I keep bringing up the RFK thing. I'm sure somebody's
yelling at their yelling at their radio. By the way, UH,
caution questioning my discernment. David will tell you I have
a uncanny ability to see things before they happen. I'm
reading this story yesterday as a Kennedy campaign racks up
(06:24):
ballot access victories nationwide, submitting two, three, even four times
the number of validated signatures required to qualify in each state.
This guy's left nothing for them to play games with.
The d n C is pouring you ready for this, David,
and they got it. This maybe part of the reason
(06:45):
they got to keep milking money. The DNC is pouring
millions of dollars into a legal crusade against Kennedy, resorting
to frivolous and often comical efforts to stop people from
casting their votes. If I'm crazy and I got a
John F. Kennedy fixation causing me to fixate on RFK.
(07:07):
Why is the DNC spending so much money and so
many millions of dollars to keep him off of ballots?
They know come November he's a problem on the map.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Well, I just see this morning that Joe Rogan endorsed
him yesterday. That's a very big deal.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I mean, we can talk about what Fox is saying,
CNN is saying, ABCNBCCBS sixty minutes like it's nineteen seventy five,
but it's not. There's more people listening to Joe Rogan
than all of those networks I said just now combined
put that into perspective or on x. So they play
all these games with the mainstream media like they can
(07:48):
control the narrative like they used to, but they can't.
This is why Jeffrey and I last hour we're talking about.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
You know what, in addition to the eye problem is reel,
in addition to the RFK problem, in addition to the
weird or deplorable problem. In the end, they got an
Elon Musk problem because in twenty twenty they controlled.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Narratives and then they silenced the posing views.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Now nobody's watching any of them, and they're all on
X and listening to Rogan, and they've taken a specific side.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
That's why this is all an illusional way.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Don't you think, well, I do, Michael, and I think
we're You have to see is this weird is a
good word in this sense. This is one of the
weirdest elections we've ever seen. And we go back on
the Street's episode in the Public Square and document some
serious weird stuff going back to the sixties that have
been innovative technology changes that have caused disruption, and the
(08:41):
mail in ballots of twenty twenty will for history of
reviewed unexpected anomaly, a pest, but an exceptionally strange, strange,
inordinate election bus. The office who exempted themselves from the
primary is because her boss was to be the nominee
(09:05):
and this has never happened before, So this is just strange.
People feel like this entire process is being manipulated because
it is, because it just can't get comfortable with this.
Get the personalities, forget the policy. The process is deeply disturbing.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Listen carefully. This was Donald Trump at Marlago yesterday in
his news conference.
Speaker 8 (09:29):
And I'm no Biden fan, but I'll tell you what,
from a constitutional standpoint, from any standpoint you look at,
they took the presidency away, and people were saying he
lost after the debate, he couldn't win.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Well, I don't know that that's true.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Necessarily in the name of democracy this party as a
nominee who never ran a primary, never received a primary vote,
and now has announced her new vice president. They stole
a presidency from somebody right in front of everyone. I mean,
you and I had this conversation in twenty twenty when
they were doing not so much afterwards, but in real time.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
The notion because there was two kinds of.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
You know, if you talk seriously about COVID, then the
you know, anti COVID people or the COVID deniers would
think you were on their side, and you weren't saying
that at all. I wasn't on the side of those
and said they stole the election flat out. No, we
were explaining exactly how they were stealing at fair and
square and right in front of you. But when you
do it right in front of somebody's eyes, it's amazing
(10:27):
to be David, you get away with it more.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
It's basically because because of disbelief and Americans are we
are such a trust in people, because we've been raised
in a law abiding society that we don't believe that
people who are in leadership would intentionally break the rules
and then deny it because they can get away with it.
And again, Michael, I'm sorry for something like a broken record.
(10:50):
But what's important to remember about election laws and party
rules and things like that is it's a very unusual
arena of law because it has a ticking clock connected
to it. Always it's who over the finish line and
here to be legitimate because us you can challenge and
stop someone before the clock reachs strikes mid or get
(11:15):
that point of night Woods. What I mean by that
is you can't prosecute somebody proactively or retroactively on election law,
whereas you have statute of limitations on so many other
forms of law. They just picked this thing up, candidates her,
They're going to go to a convention. They're all going
to say, yes, that's fine with us, and we're off
(11:36):
to the races. And the people that voted in all
of those legitimate state elections that included federal candidates are
completely defrauded of their choice. Now they may have decided now,
in under circumstances, to change their mind, but the process
is still completely fractured.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
I remember when COVID first broke out, and you remember
we had a great resource in doctor Chuck McGowan, thanks
to your lifelong friendship with him and what an amazing
doctor he is, and he guided us through, you know,
and then our own curiosity and research guided us. But
I mean without him as a lighthouse, we'd have been
in trouble. But I remember the one thing that first
(12:16):
stuck out to me when and it was similar to
what's happening now.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
It didn't matter where you turned. It could be a
visa commercial, it could be a local TV anchor, it
could be a national television ho It didn't matter what
you were watching. The messaging, whether it was a.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
News conference, a news story, a talk show, or a
commercial was the same.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Stay home, stay safe. This is the new normal. Stay home,
stay safe. This is the new normal. That was actually
what got my DiscId is like new normal. A virus
is a virus. You get it and die, You get
it and live. You eventually never defeat it. You learn
to live with it through immunity. What the hell are
they talking about? New normal? Somebody's trying to sell us
(12:59):
a new normal.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
And now I'm looking at democracy democracy democracy, democracy becomes
of course the Democrat Party and its platform and it's
candidates and anybody that opposes it as an enemy of
the state and insurrectionist.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
And now all of a sudden, this kind of trickery.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
It's not so much what they did in twenty twenty
hiding a guy in a basement and what they're doing
again in twenty twenty four taking a presidency away and
just handing it to somebody.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
I'm beginning to wonder is this a new normal? Because
if it is the new democracy and the new normal,
this ain't what our founding fathers intended.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Well, now it'sering dates at the end of the twentieth century.
They use always early, and this is to prosecute their
political enemies. But first you have to dehumanize them. First,
you have to make them weird. Then you can push
them to the gulag, then you can prosecute them. I
(13:49):
heard a story just last night from Tulsea Gabbert about
her now being monitored, watched and being on the terrorist
list in regards to her ability to fly. This is
a former member of the United States who's done nothing
but express legitimate, legal political opinions in the marketplace, and
she's being now tracked by the federal government. And if
(14:10):
this story is as legitimate as she presented it, that
should send shivers to everyone. Forget what they've done to
Donald Trump. But you can't forget what they've done to
Donald Trump, because regardless of how you feel about his politics,
or how much you may love or hate him, he's
still a citizen under this Constitution with certain inablenable rights.
(14:33):
Now you're talking about a Democrat member of the United
States House of Representatives, former member who got out of
line and now has federal marshals attending her and hour
long searches before she can get on an airplane. This
is the work of the totalitarian state. And this is
happening in America under Joe Biden's leadership.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
It's a race to dehumanize and both sides, to some degree,
are guilty to to find their opponents. How's it going.
Who's losing more than we the people? I can't figure
it out. This is not supposed to be a scare
game and a dehumanization game and a defining game. It's
supposed to be an intimate job interview between the American
(15:16):
people and candidates for president.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
That doesn't seem to be included in this new normal.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
David. I don't know if you're a contributor. I don't
know if you're a correspondent. I know you're a lifelong dear.
You're a necessary voice at a time where it needs
to be heard, and I encourage people to listen to
that voice on the Public Square. You'll find it at
the Public Square dot com or on two hundred stations nationwide.
You also host eighteen fifty main Street at eighteen fifty
main Street dot com. And look forward to talking to
you again next week. Have a great weekend, my friend.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Thanks Michael.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
This is your morning show with Michael del Trono.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Jorno and
it's Friday.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
I used to really celebrate Friday when I hated my
company in job. But I love my company. I love
my job, so I don't do that anymore. Long week though,
battling through this cold. Have you noticed I'm feeling better?
Speaker 9 (16:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
You sound great? Well, Thank you.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
It was not an easy cold to overcome. I at
one point googled can you die of a cold? Because
I felt it. We had football last night, but it
was a real dud. Giants fourteen three over the Lions.
Patriots seventeen to three over the Panthers. Two of our
euro Morning show cities battled on the Diamond and it
was the Tampa Rays six to four over the Saint
(16:28):
Louis Cardinals. Mariners won four to three over the Tigers.
D Backs lost six to four to the Phillies. Nats
lost nine to five. I actually watched a little bit
of that, taking a break from the Olympics. They wanted
de exter endings in the tenth and everything that could
possibly go wrong went wrong in the tenth and the
Giants get the win nine to five. Rangers and Guardians
(16:49):
were both off birthdays. Bob Coosey, the Great guard of
the Boston Celtics, ninety six years old today. Bob Coozy,
Actor Sam Melli. It wasn't Sam is Roy here? Rory wasn't.
Wasn't Sam Elliott? I know Tom Selleck was, but wasn't
Sam Elliott?
Speaker 1 (17:08):
A Marlborough man.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Oh I think he was.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I think he was too. Not that you know you
can do that anymore.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
But Sam Elliott is eighty years old today, Dion Sanders
fifty seven, actress, Andda Kendrick you got to see her,
and up in the air with George Colooney if you've
never seen that, thirty nine years old today, and vivik
Ramaswami is thirty nine years old today.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
It's your birthday. Happy birthday. So glad you were born,
and thanks for waking up with your morning show.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
All right, it's back to school for millions of Americans,
and I'm guessing about a billion dollars. Rory's O'Neill is
here with the expensive back to school story, a lot more.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Than a billion.
Speaker 9 (17:45):
The National Retail Federation says this back to school period
is worth or it will generate about thirty nine billion
in whole spending. That's about eight hundred and seventy five
dollars for a household that they've got.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
Kids in K through twelve. When it comes to back
to college spending, the numbers.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Are even higher.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
It's something like thirteen hundred dollars per household. They break
it down by saying that a lot of that money
goes to electronics and more so for furnishings for the
college student versus expensive sneakers.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
I think for the kids.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Yeah, well we got hit with sneakers in late July, folders,
spiral notebooks, pens, all that. Back to college, you are civil, right,
especially that first year where you got to buy like
the headboard and a chair, and then a desk chair
and all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Lamp and refrigerator. Yeah, we've all bet the refrigerator. Got
to have that refrigerator. What are we gonna do with
all these refrigerators when they graduate? Foda dad, all for soda.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Yeah, everybody's looking to make this political and blame it
on somebody, so obviously inflation is to blame.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
How much higher is this than in past years? We're seeing, well, see, well.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
It's actually going to be down. Overall spending is down
slightly from last year.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I keep that in mind, But say you go.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Back to twenty nineteen, where average spending was closer to
the five hundred bucks per household. Now it's again almost
eight hundred dollars. So that's a pretty big jump in
that five year period.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I remember the good old days. I was a doodler.
Were you a doodler?
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Not particularly?
Speaker 10 (19:22):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I doodled everything. I used to do my name in
like rock letters. I would do Andrew.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
I used to draw Norm Van Lear, who was a
point guard for the Chicago Bulls in the seventies, and
Doctor J. In fact, I can still do the Doctor J.
I should draw it in the in the break and
send it to you.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
But yeah, if you give.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Me a ruler, I cannot draw a straight line. So
it is it is not my strength.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah, well you know me. I excel in singing and drawing.
Speaker 10 (19:50):
No.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
But and then I would always do those three dimensional squares.
But it was fun.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
What was fun was a fresh year meant to fresh
palette because remember those the coverings that used to be
on those three ring folders, and it was really kind
of rough, and so you would be scratching them. So
I would doodle everything up all year, and then you
got a fresh school.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Year and you got brand new doodle material. But I
have no idea.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
Didn't you use brown paper bags as your book covers and.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
We did do that, Yes, gosh, I didn't thought of
that too. You just said that book covers with the
brown paper bags. I never had a lunch box. I
always had a It was a real big thing in
my school. If you had a lunch pail lunch box,
that was nerdy, But bringing your lunch in a brown
paper bag that was cool.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
You had to be standing around the bus.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
Stops on age, like if you were sixth grade. Yeah,
but but second third grade, my Hong Kong Fue lunchbox
was don't challenge me on that.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Oh lord, well, school supplies.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Millions of us are buying them, and we're spending roughly
thirty nine billion dollars. That's expensive. All right, Rory, we'll
be back. We're gonna talk about the Olympics. I had
a great day, yes because I have not been a
fan of track and field. In fact, I don't think
I've watched track and field. This is honest, since Bruce
Jenners de Caathalon. That's how long it's been since I.
(21:12):
I just don't get into track and field. I never did,
and so for me when these games come this last week,
it's kind of over for me, premature. But yesterday I watched,
and I think two things I'll remember maybe enjoying track
and field for the first time in my life and
diving a lot less. And for some reason I fell
in love with women's rugby. At the end of the day,
(21:33):
it's not going to get better than that for me.
But it's been a great Olympic Games. But what have
the ratings been? And has Snoop really been the hit
everybody thinks he is because they're asking him back in
two years. Rory has all the Olympic details for you
next hour after our Friday with forty five. Thank you, Rory.
It's forty minutes after the hour if you're just waking up.
The big story is the debate is on at least
(21:54):
one anyway, Brian Shook as our Road to the White House.
Speaker 11 (21:57):
Road to the White House. Twenty twenty four. Donald Trump
says he has agreed to three debates in September against
VP Kamala Harris. At a press event from his mar
al Lago home in Florida, Trump said the debates would
be on Fox News, ABC and NBC.
Speaker 8 (22:14):
But I look forward to the debates because I think
we have to set the record straight.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Why is it that millions of people.
Speaker 8 (22:20):
Were allowed to come into our country from prisons, from jails,
from mental institutions, insane asylums.
Speaker 11 (22:27):
At least one debate is set, ABC News announced, Trump
and Harris agreed to a debate on September tenth. The
two tickets have been engaged in a back and forth
over a debate agreement. In Washington. I'm Brian Shuk.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Special counsel Jack Smith is asking to delay deadlines in
Donald Trump's election interference case.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Mark Mayfield has the details.
Speaker 12 (22:49):
On Thursday, Smith asked the judge for more time to
settle how to proceed after the Supreme Court ruled Trump
does have some immunity protections as a former president. Smith
asked for a three week delay to determine how the
case we'll move forward. Trump has been accused of making
efforts to overturn the twenty twenty presidential election on Mark Meefield.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Among many points, and Donald Trump was on point at
mar Lago. In his news conference yesterday, he claims Vice
President Kamala Harris did not pick Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro
as a running mate because he was Jewish.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Lisa Taylor has more.
Speaker 13 (23:21):
During an interview with Fox News, Trump said he had
very little doubt that Shapiro wasn't chosen because of the
fact he was Jewish. The former president then went on
to say the Harris campaign thought picking Shapiro would offend others.
The Harris campaign has denied Trump's allegations, and Shapiro said
he expressed reservations to the campaign about leaving his job
as governor. I'm Lisa Taylor.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Well, there's no question we have a border crisis and
a housing crisis. No change on the border, but mortgage
rates are down. Tammy Trehuilo has all the details.
Speaker 10 (23:48):
The thirty year fixed rate mortgage averaged less than six
point five percent this week, according to Freddie Mack. That's
down since last week six point seven three percent, also
the lowest since May of twenty twenty five three. The
news comes as home prices to remain sky high in nationwide.
I'm Tammy Trihio.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Costco is cracking down on membership sharing. Michael Kasner reports.
Speaker 14 (24:10):
Now the wholesale retailer is introducing membership scanning devices to
be used at the entrance door. Members will need to
scan their cards so employees can match the photo up
with you. For those who have cards without photos, Costco
says to come with a valid photo ID, but encourages
them to get their photo taken at the membership counter.
(24:30):
I'm Michael Cassner.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Well, as we Tennessee Titans. Fans say, yesterday was eight
eight August eighth, eight and eight. Mike Fisher Day, Today's
eight nine.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Jeff Fisher.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Jeff Fisher. Why do you say Mike Fisher. Mike Fisher
is the hockey player, He's Jeff Fisher Day. Today is
the birthday of your best friend to the forest. Bree
Tennis with more on Smokey Bear's big day.
Speaker 15 (24:54):
Smokey Bear's tale is a sad one. Orphaned as a
young cob by a wildfire. He dedicated his life to
preventing them. Over the years, he's become quite popular. The
ad Council says eight out of ten people recognize him.
In fact, he's so popular he even has his own
zip code, and if you write to him, you'll become
a junior forest ranger. There's Smoky merchandise that generates millions
(25:15):
every year, which Smokey uses for wildfire prevention. And that's
where you come in.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Believe can prevent worldfare.
Speaker 15 (25:23):
Happy eightieth birthday, Smoky Bear. I'm pre tennis.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I won't do it. I won't crack it's unprofessional. I
won't do it on the air.
Speaker 16 (25:31):
I won't do it.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I won't say it aloud, do it all right? David's not.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
He's my favorite contributor, and by far that's my favorite reporter.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Bre Tennis. There's just something about it makes everything feel right.
Speaker 11 (25:41):
In the world.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
You feel better, you feel better. It's I always know
it's a good day when I have a bre Tennis.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
Well.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah, and you know, the weirder the world gets, the
more reassuring and peaceful memes and pre Tennis's reports become
in the midst of all of it. Team USA, you know,
we dominate the world the way that the Russians the
Soviets used to dominate. When I was a kid, and
I was having that thought yesterday, thinking I bet all
these other kids and other countries who were like the US,
(26:11):
like we sed to go, oh Russia, right, And then
it dawned on me, I haven't seen Russia. Were they
banned from his games?
Speaker 8 (26:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (26:18):
Since you a story, it looks like they were a
band due to the situation with in Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Yeah, nobody, and nobody has said a word about it
in any of the coverage.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
Well, it probably wouldn't fit the narrative. Well, I'll tell
you who does fit the narrative. Snoop Dogg and apparently
Snoop Dogg's coming back sooner than you think.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
One reportedly plans to ask Snoop Dogg to be a
part of the twenty twenty six Winter Olympic coverage. The
rapper has been all over the NBC broadcast a very
touching moment last night with Mike Tarico. We talked about
how close he's gotten with the families and made a
lot of new family friends. Really mean, it hasn't added
(26:59):
any to the broadcast for me, but I guess it's
been wildly popular, and so wildly popular he'll be back
for the Milano Cortina Olympic Games that are set to
take place in February of twenty twenty six. And that's
your top five stories of the day.
Speaker 10 (27:16):
Hey, this is top top Kathy Hinters.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
And my morning show is your morning show with Michael
Dale Joino.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
In your gifting, do something you love and do it
with people you love doing it with and achieve something
great together. And so I've been going through all this.
You know, the breed tennis to David Zanati and you know,
and they have a great conversation with Orya. And now
here's my other favorite, John Decker showing up. What a
privilege it is to serve with such talented people here
at Diheart. All right, so Decker, I have some unfinished
(27:43):
business from the previous segment. Sam Elliott, Sir Sam Elliott
was never a Marlboro man. He wasn't thank you for
smoking the movie, but he was never a Marlboro man.
And nor was.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Tom Selleck, who I swore was a Marlboro man, and
the advertising. But they were main Wayne McLaren, David McLean,
Dick Hammer, and Eric Lawson and Jerome Edward Jackson otherwise
known as Tobin Tobin Jackson by the way, They all
died of smoking related diseases. And they were the Marlboro
(28:18):
Men from Marlboro Reds, which were nicknamed the Cowboy Killers.
But yeah, they all died of either COPD or lafe cancer.
They did make it look cool. Didn't stop me. My
first was a Marlboro read. I bought it at the
Westgate Shopping Center in Arlington Heights, Illinois. My advice, the
easiest way to quit smoking is never stopped. It's been
a battle my entire life. All Right, here comes John
(28:39):
Decker to talk to us, talk to us about who
he's going to be covering in the future because he's
a White House correspondent. There's been a lot of attention
given to Kamala Harris and to Tim Walls, and it's
just somebody had to do something to get some of
the attention back to Donald Trump. Did the press conference
at marlog or do it?
Speaker 5 (28:58):
Well?
Speaker 16 (28:58):
I got the attention. I mean, if you watch any
network program or capable program, they're certainly talking about the
hour long plus press conference that Donald Trump had yesterday
at Mar a Lago. We got some news yesterday, confirmation
that there will be at least one presidential debate. That's
a good thing. It will be September the tenth, That's
what both campaigns originally agree to, September the tenth, New
(29:20):
York City, hosted by ABC News. Trump also indicating he'd
like to have two other debates. I think that, if anything,
we might see one other debate, not two other debates.
And then we still need to put a debate for
vice president on the calendar as well. We don't have
that ironed out yet just yet, but that's what we learned.
(29:40):
I think that's the big news that came out of yesterday's.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Christ It doesn't often happen. I'm a boxing fan. I
know you're a tennis player, so I don't know how
much I'm a boxing fan you are. But it's very rare.
But it does sometimes happen where the undercard outshines the
main event. This VP debate could outshine the main event.
That one could get really spirited. So Trump caves and
does ABC. Why doesn' Kamala caven do Fox? Now there's two.
Speaker 16 (30:08):
Well, the problem with that is this, it's just a
problem in terms of when the Fox News proposed debate
is on the calendar. The vice president wants to have
the first debate on September the tenth. The Fox debate
is one that has been proposed for September the fourth,
and that's the reason why I don't think that's going
to happen.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
We had Joe Biden, some would say, hidden in the
basement during COVID becomes president, doesn't doesn't have a news
conference for sixty four days, and then when he does,
he hands the border to Kamala Harris, which we're trying
to a commediately forget now but make a long story short.
Kamala is handed the nomination, chooses her vice presidential running mate.
(30:51):
Several days go by, she hasn't talked to reporters, hasn't
had a news conference. Jade Vance walks to tarmac in
an attempt to embarrass her two days ago, and yesterday
she finally talked on the tarmac and that all important question,
When will you do an interview?
Speaker 1 (31:06):
She said, maybe by the end of the month. What's
going on here?
Speaker 16 (31:10):
Well, it's what I've been predicting, and that is I
believe there will be a joint interview Kamala Harris, her
running mate. I believe it will be on sixteen minutes.
I would not be surprised if we see that happening
immediately before or immediately after the Democratic National Convention in Chicago,
which is, as you know, we'll start a little over
(31:30):
a week from now. That's what we can expect. It
is unusual, to say the least. I haven't seen a
sit down interview with the person who potentially will be
the next president of the United States. But you know,
she has already essentially said that there will be one,
and I want to watch that interview when it happens.
(31:50):
And again, I would not be surprised if it is
sixteen minutes the highest rated news program on television.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
I played a piece in the first hour of the
show and it was Kevin o'lear with Pierce Morgan, and
he said, by the way, it's obvious what they're doing,
and it's not stupid. They're gonna milk every last time.
I mean, one thing they've done very very well is
fundraising two hundred and something plus million or more now
(32:18):
and they want to keep getting that. They want to
get all that money in before they get into things
like debate and interviews where it could start.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Turning south on them.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
So you know, it's right out in the open for
everybody to see, or as you would say, unusual, But
it's not stupid either.
Speaker 9 (32:33):
Is it.
Speaker 13 (32:34):
Well.
Speaker 16 (32:35):
Look, you know, the people that are running Kamala Harris's
campaign are people that are veterans, including a newly hired advisor,
David Pluff, who helped run Barack Obama's successful run for
the presidency in two thousand and eight. So they know
how to win. Donald Trump also has people on his
team that know how to win. So that's what makes
(32:58):
this race particularly interesting. And to me, you have very
few events that are that we know about that are
on the schedule that could change the race, the dynamics
of the race. But one of them is certainly a
presidential debate, and I think that for Donald Trump, he
wants those debates plural because he's unhappy, uncomfortable, displeased with
(33:23):
the direction of his campaign right now and the attention
that Kamala Harris has been getting.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Over the course, we saw the impact of the first debate.
I got Joe Biden thrown right out of the race.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael nhild Show or No
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show airs live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happy you're here now. Enjoy the podcast two.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Three, starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Well, because we're in the stage.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
This is your morning show with Michae Opel Trump.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
ABC News confirms President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris
will debate on September tenth. May even get two more.
After that tropical Storm Debbie formerly known as Hurricane Debbie,
breaking havoc in the Carolinas with heavy rain of tornadoes,
headed to New York today And while we survived and
dodged a bullet, I actually thought the US men's basketball
(00:52):
team was going to go down down sixteen heading into
the fourth quarter, but came back to win. They'll go
for gold and the US continues to dominate Paris with
one hundred and three total medals, number one in every category,
thirty gold, thirty eight silver, and thirty five bronze. Good morning,
and welcome to Friday, August the ninth, twenty twenty four,
on the Aaron streaming live on your iHeart app.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Joorno.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
By the way, I don't know if David Znati, CEO
of the American Policy Roundtable, host of The Public Square,
and host of eighteen fifty main Street dot Com notice,
but in our show sheet, I gave you a new title.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
I had noticed. Good morning, Michael, you did notice?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Did you like it? Or does it make you feel old?
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I was trying to avoid words like favorite, you know,
lifelong friend, stuff like that, and I wanted to sound
kind of foxy, So I went with CEO of the
American Policy Roundtable in your Morning show, senior correspondent David
Znati joining us this morning.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
I played it was a senior correspondent. I think it
was even different than that.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
It was, oh, senior contributor, senior contributor, contributor, Yes, a sutor.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
I like it.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Yeah, well, I'm good with that.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Best favorite senior. I don't know what to call you. Hey,
DZ's here, all right?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
So I played this clip earlier of Kevin O'Leary, and
I don't want to get into a whole Kevin O'Leary conversation,
but it was just what he was talking about with
Piers Morgan. And because you know how there's like a
sea of noise, and then very rarely on television, sometimes
raally on radio do you come across a meaningful, substantive conversation,
(02:29):
And this one just grabbed me for some reason. And
he was just discussing three things, the first being how well,
the reason you're not hearing from Kamala Harris and you're
not going to hear from Kamala Harris other than a
commercial or a teleprompter at a rally is they're gonna
milk the fundraising before she ever does an interview, before
she ever does a debate. They're gonna milk this as
(02:50):
long as they can, because once she starts talking, there's
not gonna be as much money flowing.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
There's nothing but trouble ahead.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
And then he talked about potentially a pivot to the
middle or a net necessary pivot that should happen, though
I think they're proudly far left. Is that really what
we're witnessing that they hit Joe Biden in a basement
and could get away with the COVID they're going to
hide her and plain sight until they're done milking all
the fundraising.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Well, I think it goes beyond fund raising as well.
We have a situation here where this is, this election
has been reduced now to at best a high school
student council election. And these are the tactics and the techniques.
What it's going to come down to is the shift
now is the cool kids are all with Kamala Harris
(03:39):
and if you're not the cool kids, then you're out
of touch with reality and you're well, you're just playing weird.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Now.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Bringing weird into the conversation, as Tim Watson has done,
is most interesting. I know you are paying attention to
this because when you look at the definition of weird
for starters, it breaks the eye before e formula in
how to spell things. So weird is weird from the
start because it's one of the most misspelled words of
(04:10):
all time. Weird also has a very dark connotation to it.
It goes all the way back to the way that
Shakespeare used it in regards to depicting weird as evil.
And so when you go back to Hillary Clinton and
the basket of irredeemable irredeemable deplorables. We've now walked that
(04:32):
right back and picked up that narrative. Here we are
again with someone branding their political opponents as evil, out
of touch with reality, and something that's really to be avoided.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
I think Israel, everybody knows, is going to be something
we look at after this election, especially if Donald Trump
wins and said, boyd, that eye problem was real and
that a problem Trump had wasn't nearly as big of
a deal as the.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Eye problem was for the Democrats.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
I don't think people get this yet or I'm going
to be very, very wrong, but RFK is going to
be a big problem we're going to talk about if
Donald Trump goes on to win. But it's interesting. They're
never going to use the word deplorable again, but they
keep finding a new one every cycle to use. Is weird,
the new deplorable.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
Weird is the new deplorable. And it's actually the gateway
by which Walls got into the vice presidency because he
used it and everyone it caught fire across the corporate media,
and so yeah, I think this is it. I think
that's what you've got.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Davidsonauti joining US CEO of the American Policy roundtable hosted
the Public Square in a very distinguished Your Morning Show
senior correspondent and contributor contributor. I keep saying correspondents, contributor
bigger than.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
Them.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Since I'm not a reporter, I'm just a real friend
of Your Morning of you.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
I'm starting to figure out what the HA have to call you.
I keep bringing up the RFK thing. I'm sure somebody's
yelling at their yelling at their radio. By the way, UH,
caution questioning my discernment. David will tell you I have
a uncanny ability to see things before they happen. I'm
reading this story yesterday as a Kennedy campaign racks up
(06:24):
ballot access victories nationwide, submitting two, three, even four times
the number of validated signatures required to qualify in each state.
This guy's left nothing for them to play games with.
The d n C is pouring you ready for this, David,
and they got it. This maybe part of the reason
(06:45):
they got to keep milking money. The DNC is pouring
millions of dollars into a legal crusade against Kennedy, resorting
to frivolous and often comical efforts to stop people from
casting their votes. If I'm crazy and I got a
John F. Kennedy fixation causing me to fixate on RFK.
(07:07):
Why is the DNC spending so much money and so
many millions of dollars to keep him off of ballots?
They know come November he's a problem on the map.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Well, I just see this morning that Joe Rogan endorsed
him yesterday. That's a very big deal.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I mean, we can talk about what Fox is saying,
CNN is saying, ABCNBCCBS sixty minutes like it's nineteen seventy five,
but it's not. There's more people listening to Joe Rogan
than all of those networks I said just now combined
put that into perspective or on x. So they play
all these games with the mainstream media like they can
(07:48):
control the narrative like they used to, but they can't.
This is why Jeffrey and I last hour we're talking about.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
You know what, in addition to the eye problem is reel,
in addition to the RFK problem, in addition to the
weird or deplorable problem. In the end, they got an
Elon Musk problem because in twenty twenty they controlled.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Narratives and then they silenced the posing views.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Now nobody's watching any of them, and they're all on
X and listening to Rogan, and they've taken a specific side.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
That's why this is all an illusional way.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Don't you think, well, I do, Michael, and I think
we're You have to see is this weird is a
good word in this sense. This is one of the
weirdest elections we've ever seen. And we go back on
the Street's episode in the Public Square and document some
serious weird stuff going back to the sixties that have
been innovative technology changes that have caused disruption, and the
(08:41):
mail in ballots of twenty twenty will for history of
reviewed unexpected anomaly, a pest, but an exceptionally strange, strange,
inordinate election bus. The office who exempted themselves from the
primary is because her boss was to be the nominee
(09:05):
and this has never happened before, So this is just strange.
People feel like this entire process is being manipulated because
it is, because it just can't get comfortable with this.
Get the personalities, forget the policy. The process is deeply disturbing.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Listen carefully. This was Donald Trump at Marlago yesterday in
his news conference.
Speaker 8 (09:29):
And I'm no Biden fan, but I'll tell you what,
from a constitutional standpoint, from any standpoint you look at,
they took the presidency away, and people were saying he
lost after the debate, he couldn't win.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Well, I don't know that that's true.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Necessarily in the name of democracy this party as a
nominee who never ran a primary, never received a primary vote,
and now has announced her new vice president. They stole
a presidency from somebody right in front of everyone. I mean,
you and I had this conversation in twenty twenty when
they were doing not so much afterwards, but in real time.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
The notion because there was two kinds of.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
You know, if you talk seriously about COVID, then the
you know, anti COVID people or the COVID deniers would
think you were on their side, and you weren't saying
that at all. I wasn't on the side of those
and said they stole the election flat out. No, we
were explaining exactly how they were stealing at fair and
square and right in front of you. But when you
do it right in front of somebody's eyes, it's amazing
(10:27):
to be David, you get away with it more.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
It's basically because because of disbelief and Americans are we
are such a trust in people, because we've been raised
in a law abiding society that we don't believe that
people who are in leadership would intentionally break the rules
and then deny it because they can get away with it.
And again, Michael, I'm sorry for something like a broken record.
(10:50):
But what's important to remember about election laws and party
rules and things like that is it's a very unusual
arena of law because it has a ticking clock connected
to it. Always it's who over the finish line and
here to be legitimate because us you can challenge and
stop someone before the clock reachs strikes mid or get
(11:15):
that point of night Woods. What I mean by that
is you can't prosecute somebody proactively or retroactively on election law,
whereas you have statute of limitations on so many other
forms of law. They just picked this thing up, candidates her,
They're going to go to a convention. They're all going
to say, yes, that's fine with us, and we're off
(11:36):
to the races. And the people that voted in all
of those legitimate state elections that included federal candidates are
completely defrauded of their choice. Now they may have decided now,
in under circumstances, to change their mind, but the process
is still completely fractured.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
I remember when COVID first broke out, and you remember
we had a great resource in doctor Chuck McGowan, thanks
to your lifelong friendship with him and what an amazing
doctor he is, and he guided us through, you know,
and then our own curiosity and research guided us. But
I mean without him as a lighthouse, we'd have been
in trouble. But I remember the one thing that first
(12:16):
stuck out to me when and it was similar to
what's happening now.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
It didn't matter where you turned. It could be a
visa commercial, it could be a local TV anchor, it
could be a national television ho It didn't matter what
you were watching. The messaging, whether it was a.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
News conference, a news story, a talk show, or a
commercial was the same.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Stay home, stay safe. This is the new normal. Stay home,
stay safe. This is the new normal. That was actually
what got my DiscId is like new normal. A virus
is a virus. You get it and die, You get
it and live. You eventually never defeat it. You learn
to live with it through immunity. What the hell are
they talking about? New normal? Somebody's trying to sell us
(12:59):
a new normal.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
And now I'm looking at democracy democracy democracy, democracy becomes
of course the Democrat Party and its platform and it's
candidates and anybody that opposes it as an enemy of
the state and insurrectionist.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
And now all of a sudden, this kind of trickery.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
It's not so much what they did in twenty twenty
hiding a guy in a basement and what they're doing
again in twenty twenty four taking a presidency away and
just handing it to somebody.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
I'm beginning to wonder is this a new normal? Because
if it is the new democracy and the new normal,
this ain't what our founding fathers intended.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Well, now it'sering dates at the end of the twentieth century.
They use always early, and this is to prosecute their
political enemies. But first you have to dehumanize them. First,
you have to make them weird. Then you can push
them to the gulag, then you can prosecute them. I
(13:49):
heard a story just last night from Tulsea Gabbert about
her now being monitored, watched and being on the terrorist
list in regards to her ability to fly. This is
a former member of the United States who's done nothing
but express legitimate, legal political opinions in the marketplace, and
she's being now tracked by the federal government. And if
(14:10):
this story is as legitimate as she presented it, that
should send shivers to everyone. Forget what they've done to
Donald Trump. But you can't forget what they've done to
Donald Trump, because regardless of how you feel about his politics,
or how much you may love or hate him, he's
still a citizen under this Constitution with certain inablenable rights.
(14:33):
Now you're talking about a Democrat member of the United
States House of Representatives, former member who got out of
line and now has federal marshals attending her and hour
long searches before she can get on an airplane. This
is the work of the totalitarian state. And this is
happening in America under Joe Biden's leadership.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
It's a race to dehumanize and both sides, to some degree,
are guilty to to find their opponents. How's it going.
Who's losing more than we the people? I can't figure
it out. This is not supposed to be a scare
game and a dehumanization game and a defining game. It's
supposed to be an intimate job interview between the American
(15:16):
people and candidates for president.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
That doesn't seem to be included in this new normal.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
David. I don't know if you're a contributor. I don't
know if you're a correspondent. I know you're a lifelong dear.
You're a necessary voice at a time where it needs
to be heard, and I encourage people to listen to
that voice on the Public Square. You'll find it at
the Public Square dot com or on two hundred stations nationwide.
You also host eighteen fifty main Street at eighteen fifty
main Street dot com. And look forward to talking to
you again next week. Have a great weekend, my friend.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Thanks Michael.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
This is your morning show with Michael del Trono.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Jorno and
it's Friday.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
I used to really celebrate Friday when I hated my
company in job. But I love my company. I love
my job, so I don't do that anymore. Long week though,
battling through this cold. Have you noticed I'm feeling better?
Speaker 9 (16:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
You sound great? Well, Thank you.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
It was not an easy cold to overcome. I at
one point googled can you die of a cold? Because
I felt it. We had football last night, but it
was a real dud. Giants fourteen three over the Lions.
Patriots seventeen to three over the Panthers. Two of our
euro Morning show cities battled on the Diamond and it
was the Tampa Rays six to four over the Saint
(16:28):
Louis Cardinals. Mariners won four to three over the Tigers.
D Backs lost six to four to the Phillies. Nats
lost nine to five. I actually watched a little bit
of that, taking a break from the Olympics. They wanted
de exter endings in the tenth and everything that could
possibly go wrong went wrong in the tenth and the
Giants get the win nine to five. Rangers and Guardians
(16:49):
were both off birthdays. Bob Coosey, the Great guard of
the Boston Celtics, ninety six years old today. Bob Coozy,
Actor Sam Melli. It wasn't Sam is Roy here? Rory wasn't.
Wasn't Sam Elliott? I know Tom Selleck was, but wasn't
Sam Elliott?
Speaker 1 (17:08):
A Marlborough man.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Oh I think he was.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I think he was too. Not that you know you
can do that anymore.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
But Sam Elliott is eighty years old today, Dion Sanders
fifty seven, actress, Andda Kendrick you got to see her,
and up in the air with George Colooney if you've
never seen that, thirty nine years old today, and vivik
Ramaswami is thirty nine years old today.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
It's your birthday. Happy birthday. So glad you were born,
and thanks for waking up with your morning show.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
All right, it's back to school for millions of Americans,
and I'm guessing about a billion dollars. Rory's O'Neill is
here with the expensive back to school story, a lot more.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Than a billion.
Speaker 9 (17:45):
The National Retail Federation says this back to school period
is worth or it will generate about thirty nine billion
in whole spending. That's about eight hundred and seventy five
dollars for a household that they've got.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
Kids in K through twelve. When it comes to back
to college spending, the numbers.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Are even higher.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
It's something like thirteen hundred dollars per household. They break
it down by saying that a lot of that money
goes to electronics and more so for furnishings for the
college student versus expensive sneakers.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
I think for the kids.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Yeah, well we got hit with sneakers in late July, folders,
spiral notebooks, pens, all that. Back to college, you are civil, right,
especially that first year where you got to buy like
the headboard and a chair, and then a desk chair
and all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Lamp and refrigerator. Yeah, we've all bet the refrigerator. Got
to have that refrigerator. What are we gonna do with
all these refrigerators when they graduate? Foda dad, all for soda.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Yeah, everybody's looking to make this political and blame it
on somebody, so obviously inflation is to blame.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
How much higher is this than in past years? We're seeing, well, see, well.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
It's actually going to be down. Overall spending is down
slightly from last year.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I keep that in mind, But say you go.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Back to twenty nineteen, where average spending was closer to
the five hundred bucks per household. Now it's again almost
eight hundred dollars. So that's a pretty big jump in
that five year period.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I remember the good old days. I was a doodler.
Were you a doodler?
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Not particularly?
Speaker 10 (19:22):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I doodled everything. I used to do my name in
like rock letters. I would do Andrew.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
I used to draw Norm Van Lear, who was a
point guard for the Chicago Bulls in the seventies, and
Doctor J. In fact, I can still do the Doctor J.
I should draw it in the in the break and
send it to you.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
But yeah, if you give.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Me a ruler, I cannot draw a straight line. So
it is it is not my strength.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah, well you know me. I excel in singing and drawing.
Speaker 10 (19:50):
No.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
But and then I would always do those three dimensional squares.
But it was fun.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
What was fun was a fresh year meant to fresh
palette because remember those the coverings that used to be
on those three ring folders, and it was really kind
of rough, and so you would be scratching them. So
I would doodle everything up all year, and then you
got a fresh school.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Year and you got brand new doodle material. But I
have no idea.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
Didn't you use brown paper bags as your book covers and.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
We did do that, Yes, gosh, I didn't thought of
that too. You just said that book covers with the
brown paper bags. I never had a lunch box. I
always had a It was a real big thing in
my school. If you had a lunch pail lunch box,
that was nerdy, But bringing your lunch in a brown
paper bag that was cool.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
You had to be standing around the bus.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
Stops on age, like if you were sixth grade. Yeah,
but but second third grade, my Hong Kong Fue lunchbox
was don't challenge me on that.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Oh lord, well, school supplies.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Millions of us are buying them, and we're spending roughly
thirty nine billion dollars. That's expensive. All right, Rory, we'll
be back. We're gonna talk about the Olympics. I had
a great day, yes because I have not been a
fan of track and field. In fact, I don't think
I've watched track and field. This is honest, since Bruce
Jenners de Caathalon. That's how long it's been since I.
(21:12):
I just don't get into track and field. I never did,
and so for me when these games come this last week,
it's kind of over for me, premature. But yesterday I watched,
and I think two things I'll remember maybe enjoying track
and field for the first time in my life and
diving a lot less. And for some reason I fell
in love with women's rugby. At the end of the day,
(21:33):
it's not going to get better than that for me.
But it's been a great Olympic Games. But what have
the ratings been? And has Snoop really been the hit
everybody thinks he is because they're asking him back in
two years. Rory has all the Olympic details for you
next hour after our Friday with forty five. Thank you, Rory.
It's forty minutes after the hour if you're just waking up.
The big story is the debate is on at least
(21:54):
one anyway, Brian Shook as our Road to the White House.
Speaker 11 (21:57):
Road to the White House. Twenty twenty four. Donald Trump
says he has agreed to three debates in September against
VP Kamala Harris. At a press event from his mar
al Lago home in Florida, Trump said the debates would
be on Fox News, ABC and NBC.
Speaker 8 (22:14):
But I look forward to the debates because I think
we have to set the record straight.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Why is it that millions of people.
Speaker 8 (22:20):
Were allowed to come into our country from prisons, from jails,
from mental institutions, insane asylums.
Speaker 11 (22:27):
At least one debate is set, ABC News announced, Trump
and Harris agreed to a debate on September tenth. The
two tickets have been engaged in a back and forth
over a debate agreement. In Washington. I'm Brian Shuk.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Special counsel Jack Smith is asking to delay deadlines in
Donald Trump's election interference case.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Mark Mayfield has the details.
Speaker 12 (22:49):
On Thursday, Smith asked the judge for more time to
settle how to proceed after the Supreme Court ruled Trump
does have some immunity protections as a former president. Smith
asked for a three week delay to determine how the
case we'll move forward. Trump has been accused of making
efforts to overturn the twenty twenty presidential election on Mark Meefield.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Among many points, and Donald Trump was on point at
mar Lago. In his news conference yesterday, he claims Vice
President Kamala Harris did not pick Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro
as a running mate because he was Jewish.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Lisa Taylor has more.
Speaker 13 (23:21):
During an interview with Fox News, Trump said he had
very little doubt that Shapiro wasn't chosen because of the
fact he was Jewish. The former president then went on
to say the Harris campaign thought picking Shapiro would offend others.
The Harris campaign has denied Trump's allegations, and Shapiro said
he expressed reservations to the campaign about leaving his job
as governor. I'm Lisa Taylor.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Well, there's no question we have a border crisis and
a housing crisis. No change on the border, but mortgage
rates are down. Tammy Trehuilo has all the details.
Speaker 10 (23:48):
The thirty year fixed rate mortgage averaged less than six
point five percent this week, according to Freddie Mack. That's
down since last week six point seven three percent, also
the lowest since May of twenty twenty five three. The
news comes as home prices to remain sky high in nationwide.
I'm Tammy Trihio.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Costco is cracking down on membership sharing. Michael Kasner reports.
Speaker 14 (24:10):
Now the wholesale retailer is introducing membership scanning devices to
be used at the entrance door. Members will need to
scan their cards so employees can match the photo up
with you. For those who have cards without photos, Costco
says to come with a valid photo ID, but encourages
them to get their photo taken at the membership counter.
(24:30):
I'm Michael Cassner.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Well, as we Tennessee Titans. Fans say, yesterday was eight
eight August eighth, eight and eight. Mike Fisher Day, Today's
eight nine.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Jeff Fisher.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Jeff Fisher. Why do you say Mike Fisher. Mike Fisher
is the hockey player, He's Jeff Fisher Day. Today is
the birthday of your best friend to the forest. Bree
Tennis with more on Smokey Bear's big day.
Speaker 15 (24:54):
Smokey Bear's tale is a sad one. Orphaned as a
young cob by a wildfire. He dedicated his life to
preventing them. Over the years, he's become quite popular. The
ad Council says eight out of ten people recognize him.
In fact, he's so popular he even has his own
zip code, and if you write to him, you'll become
a junior forest ranger. There's Smoky merchandise that generates millions
(25:15):
every year, which Smokey uses for wildfire prevention. And that's
where you come in.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Believe can prevent worldfare.
Speaker 15 (25:23):
Happy eightieth birthday, Smoky Bear. I'm pre tennis.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I won't do it. I won't crack it's unprofessional. I
won't do it on the air.
Speaker 16 (25:31):
I won't do it.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I won't say it aloud, do it all right? David's not.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
He's my favorite contributor, and by far that's my favorite reporter.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Bre Tennis. There's just something about it makes everything feel right.
Speaker 11 (25:41):
In the world.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
You feel better, you feel better. It's I always know
it's a good day when I have a bre Tennis.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
Well.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah, and you know, the weirder the world gets, the
more reassuring and peaceful memes and pre Tennis's reports become
in the midst of all of it. Team USA, you know,
we dominate the world the way that the Russians the
Soviets used to dominate. When I was a kid, and
I was having that thought yesterday, thinking I bet all
these other kids and other countries who were like the US,
(26:11):
like we sed to go, oh Russia, right, And then
it dawned on me, I haven't seen Russia. Were they
banned from his games?
Speaker 8 (26:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (26:18):
Since you a story, it looks like they were a
band due to the situation with in Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Yeah, nobody, and nobody has said a word about it
in any of the coverage.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
Well, it probably wouldn't fit the narrative. Well, I'll tell
you who does fit the narrative. Snoop Dogg and apparently
Snoop Dogg's coming back sooner than you think.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
One reportedly plans to ask Snoop Dogg to be a
part of the twenty twenty six Winter Olympic coverage. The
rapper has been all over the NBC broadcast a very
touching moment last night with Mike Tarico. We talked about
how close he's gotten with the families and made a
lot of new family friends. Really mean, it hasn't added
(26:59):
any to the broadcast for me, but I guess it's
been wildly popular, and so wildly popular he'll be back
for the Milano Cortina Olympic Games that are set to
take place in February of twenty twenty six. And that's
your top five stories of the day.
Speaker 10 (27:16):
Hey, this is top top Kathy Hinters.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
And my morning show is your morning show with Michael
Dale Joino.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
In your gifting, do something you love and do it
with people you love doing it with and achieve something
great together. And so I've been going through all this.
You know, the breed tennis to David Zanati and you know,
and they have a great conversation with Orya. And now
here's my other favorite, John Decker showing up. What a
privilege it is to serve with such talented people here
at Diheart. All right, so Decker, I have some unfinished
(27:43):
business from the previous segment. Sam Elliott, Sir Sam Elliott
was never a Marlboro man. He wasn't thank you for
smoking the movie, but he was never a Marlboro man.
And nor was.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Tom Selleck, who I swore was a Marlboro man, and
the advertising. But they were main Wayne McLaren, David McLean,
Dick Hammer, and Eric Lawson and Jerome Edward Jackson otherwise
known as Tobin Tobin Jackson by the way, They all
died of smoking related diseases. And they were the Marlboro
(28:18):
Men from Marlboro Reds, which were nicknamed the Cowboy Killers.
But yeah, they all died of either COPD or lafe cancer.
They did make it look cool. Didn't stop me. My
first was a Marlboro read. I bought it at the
Westgate Shopping Center in Arlington Heights, Illinois. My advice, the
easiest way to quit smoking is never stopped. It's been
a battle my entire life. All Right, here comes John
(28:39):
Decker to talk to us, talk to us about who
he's going to be covering in the future because he's
a White House correspondent. There's been a lot of attention
given to Kamala Harris and to Tim Walls, and it's
just somebody had to do something to get some of
the attention back to Donald Trump. Did the press conference
at marlog or do it?
Speaker 5 (28:58):
Well?
Speaker 16 (28:58):
I got the attention. I mean, if you watch any
network program or capable program, they're certainly talking about the
hour long plus press conference that Donald Trump had yesterday
at Mar a Lago. We got some news yesterday, confirmation
that there will be at least one presidential debate. That's
a good thing. It will be September the tenth, That's
what both campaigns originally agree to, September the tenth, New
(29:20):
York City, hosted by ABC News. Trump also indicating he'd
like to have two other debates. I think that, if anything,
we might see one other debate, not two other debates.
And then we still need to put a debate for
vice president on the calendar as well. We don't have
that ironed out yet just yet, but that's what we learned.
(29:40):
I think that's the big news that came out of yesterday's.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Christ It doesn't often happen. I'm a boxing fan. I
know you're a tennis player, so I don't know how
much I'm a boxing fan you are. But it's very rare.
But it does sometimes happen where the undercard outshines the
main event. This VP debate could outshine the main event.
That one could get really spirited. So Trump caves and
does ABC. Why doesn' Kamala caven do Fox? Now there's two.
Speaker 16 (30:08):
Well, the problem with that is this, it's just a
problem in terms of when the Fox News proposed debate
is on the calendar. The vice president wants to have
the first debate on September the tenth. The Fox debate
is one that has been proposed for September the fourth,
and that's the reason why I don't think that's going
to happen.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
We had Joe Biden, some would say, hidden in the
basement during COVID becomes president, doesn't doesn't have a news
conference for sixty four days, and then when he does,
he hands the border to Kamala Harris, which we're trying
to a commediately forget now but make a long story short.
Kamala is handed the nomination, chooses her vice presidential running mate.
(30:51):
Several days go by, she hasn't talked to reporters, hasn't
had a news conference. Jade Vance walks to tarmac in
an attempt to embarrass her two days ago, and yesterday
she finally talked on the tarmac and that all important question,
When will you do an interview?
Speaker 1 (31:06):
She said, maybe by the end of the month. What's
going on here?
Speaker 16 (31:10):
Well, it's what I've been predicting, and that is I
believe there will be a joint interview Kamala Harris, her
running mate. I believe it will be on sixteen minutes.
I would not be surprised if we see that happening
immediately before or immediately after the Democratic National Convention in Chicago,
which is, as you know, we'll start a little over
(31:30):
a week from now. That's what we can expect. It
is unusual, to say the least. I haven't seen a
sit down interview with the person who potentially will be
the next president of the United States. But you know,
she has already essentially said that there will be one,
and I want to watch that interview when it happens.
(31:50):
And again, I would not be surprised if it is
sixteen minutes the highest rated news program on television.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
I played a piece in the first hour of the
show and it was Kevin o'lear with Pierce Morgan, and
he said, by the way, it's obvious what they're doing,
and it's not stupid. They're gonna milk every last time.
I mean, one thing they've done very very well is
fundraising two hundred and something plus million or more now
(32:18):
and they want to keep getting that. They want to
get all that money in before they get into things
like debate and interviews where it could start.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Turning south on them.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
So you know, it's right out in the open for
everybody to see, or as you would say, unusual, But
it's not stupid either.
Speaker 9 (32:33):
Is it.
Speaker 13 (32:34):
Well.
Speaker 16 (32:35):
Look, you know, the people that are running Kamala Harris's
campaign are people that are veterans, including a newly hired advisor,
David Pluff, who helped run Barack Obama's successful run for
the presidency in two thousand and eight. So they know
how to win. Donald Trump also has people on his
team that know how to win. So that's what makes
(32:58):
this race particularly interesting. And to me, you have very
few events that are that we know about that are
on the schedule that could change the race, the dynamics
of the race. But one of them is certainly a
presidential debate, and I think that for Donald Trump, he
wants those debates plural because he's unhappy, uncomfortable, displeased with
(33:23):
the direction of his campaign right now and the attention
that Kamala Harris has been getting.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Over the course, we saw the impact of the first debate.
I got Joe Biden thrown right out of the race.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
