Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. 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 happier
here now. Enjoy the podcast. I know how much of
that we want to delight in as the case is
being made of a man struggling with drugs and illegally
(00:21):
acquiring a gun. Donald Trump's election subversion case in Georgia
is a huge story, kind of like his documents case
in Florida put on hold indefinitely. If law Fair was
a plan, it has certainly not worked. And Ukraine, I
missed the eightieth anniversary of D Day. Nobody ever wants
to experience a World war again. Well, nobody's gonna like
(00:43):
these drum beats. Ukraine striking inside Russia with the US
weapons for the first time since the Biden administration granted permission. Meanwhile,
Russian President Vladimir Putin responds by saying he'll consider deploying
conventional missiles within striking distance of the United States and Europe,
and the US military expecting Russia to begin air and
(01:04):
naval exercises in the Caribbean Sea in the coming months
and weeks. Meanwhile, the presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy Junior
says it's Joe Biden's fault that he won't be at
the debate stage. We'll have more on these and other
top stories throughout the day, but none get bigger than
D Day. You know, how do you put D Day
into perspective? You know, the war was so massive, so entrenched.
(01:32):
You had the Pacific theater as well as the European theater.
You had the US staying out, then getting in, then
leading the liberation. But that pivotal moment, probably one other
islander two in the Pacific some would call pivotal. The
(01:53):
most pivotal moment to take down Hitler in Nazi Germany
was D Day and the Normandy invasion. I was sitting
watching a documentary that they have since colorized. The amount
of footage we have from D Day and when the
thousands upon thousands upon thousands of troops that came from
(02:14):
ships into the boats to go to shore, those that
were air dropped in, there's some remarkable footage. And my
son looked at me and said, Wow, there's something about
colorizing it, Jeffrey that makes all the difference in the world.
You're looking into a human face and eyes, and these
kids are all in this boat made famous in saving
(02:35):
Private Rne. You know, the front would open up. There's
one who survived and is doing the narration and it
was his job to open the door. That kind of
drops and then all the troops just walk right in
to a wall of bullets, and everybody knew what they
(02:56):
were up against. And you're looking at a boat with
each individual boat with hundreds and hundreds of soldiers nine
out of ten at best, one out of ten at
best will live, praying right before the door opens. The
particular piece that they showed the guy's narrativizing. You know,
(03:18):
they gave me the order to open. We were close
enough to shore open it. And as he was going
to open it, he can hear the bullets hitting the boat,
and he said, I paused for a moment in fear,
and then it just opened and he just watched them
all go into the bullets. It's nothing quite puts you
(03:40):
at pause like the thoughts of D Day and the
hell of that beach, and it makes you wonder and
there was a holiday Christmas program that explored this profoundly.
What is the significance of D Day? What is its
military six nificance, what is its historical significance? Oh, my gosh,
(04:03):
where do you begin? Where do you end? It's everything.
We're gonna have an expert later, Robert Greenway explain to us.
But what I like to focus in on is what
forged the courage of the individuals that were willing to
sacrifice their lives for victory. And what the Christmas program
(04:25):
looked at was, these are the children of the Great Depression.
Without the Great Depression, you wouldn't have had the Greatest Generation.
And I think probably one of the most significant things
we could say today on June sixth, twenty twenty four,
the eightieth anniversary of D Day, this could be the
(04:47):
last major commemoration of World War Two veterans while some
are still alive, and speaking of some that are still alive,
wouldn't start to show any other way D Day eighty
years later, its military and world history significance, and the
courage of the Greatest generation to pull it off. Here's
(05:07):
your Morning Show White House correspondent John Decker with our
special report.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
For most Americans. Archival footage of D Day June sixth,
nineteen forty four is our only connection to one of
the most important battles of World War II. Eighty years
after that day that saved the world, ninety nine year
old George Sarrows still vividly remembers how he felt as
he landed on Utah Beach aboard his transport ship LST
(05:35):
five point fifteen.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I know we were work whether we're going to make
it or not, whether we were going to keep the
beach there or not.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Sarah's, the native of Chicago, was just nineteen years old
his mission as a motor machinist when his ship hit
the beach at one pm deliver AMMO troops, tanks, ambulances,
and jeeps in exchange for wounded paratroopers to be brought
back to England for medical attention.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
When we hit the beach, we opened the bow doors
and lowered the ramps, and the ambulance were coming and
we were taking all the guys who were wounded, putting
them on the tank deck. I don't know how many
we picked up. We rode in a whole handtake. That's
what all the LSTs were going.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
The D Day invasion was the largest naval, air, and
land operation in history. Success didn't come easy. Some four
thousand Allied troops were killed by German soldiers defending the beaches.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I really love the guys. We were all together. We
worked lived out for each other.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
For George.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Sarah's D Day was a noble cause. Here at the
World War II Memorial in Washington, the words of President Roosevelt,
delivered to the nation on D Day are engraved in memoria.
They fight not for the love of conquest. They fight
to end conquest. They fight to liberate.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
When you're stop and think of those who sacrifice our lives.
When those guys hit the beach, you've lost four or
five thousand us on the beach. We should we should
honor them, make it a regular celebration, because if it
hasn't been for the generation that I grew up, I
don't know what our nation would have been if we'd
(07:23):
have lost the war.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Why were you so lucky, George, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I think the Lord was there. I have a great
trust for the Lord, and I often think about that.
You know why us.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
If there's one lament of this true American hero, it
is more about this country's future rather than our past.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I'll tell you, I'm really disappointed in our country now.
I think we're going the wrong way. I don't see
the comradity that we have when we were to war.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
That camaraderie is what helped America defeat tyranny. For George Sarah,
who will soon turn one hundred, D Day is a
reminder of what our country can achieve when it comes
together and is unified in purpose. In Flat Rock, North Carolina,
on John Decker just powerful. We have the great pleasure
(08:16):
of visiting with John Decker almost on a daily basis.
And I remember when he was making the trip to
North Carolina and he was so excited about his time
with Saro's, and boy it paid off.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
What a voice it wants to be heard. Coming up
on one hundred years old. On this the eightieth anniversary
of D Day, Donald Trump's election subversion case in Georgia
is going the way of the Document's case in Florida.
Indefinite pause Brian Shook reports at Georgia Court of Appeals
(08:46):
indefinitely paused the case against the former president and several
of his code defendants until a panel of judges rules
on whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be removed.
Trump's legal team is pushing to disqualify Willis over her
relationship with a special prosecutor she hired to lead the case.
Trump and more than a dozen of his allies are
(09:08):
charged with racketeering for efforts to overturn the twenty twenty election.
I'm Brian Shuk. President Biden says there's every reason for
people to believe that Israeli Prime Minister bb Netanyahu is
prolonging the war in Gaza and doing so for political reasons.
A political statement, Here's Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Biden appeared on the cover of Time magazine Tuesday with
the caption if he wins. In an interview with Time,
Biden was told that some people in Israel believe that
Netanyahu is prolonging the war for his own political self preservation,
and was asked if he believed this. Biden said there
was every reason for people to draw that conclusion. The
interview was conducted last week, three days before Biden laid
(09:51):
out his plan for a hostage and Seesmier deal. I'm
Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Ukraine is striking inside Russia with US weapons for the
first time since the Biden ministration granted permission to do so.
Lisa Taylor has More.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
A Ukrainian parliament member, confirmed that US weapons hit Russian
logistics and artillery locations this week. Putin warned of fatal
consequences if the US ignores Moscow's warnings that Ukraine should
not use weapons provided by Washington to attack Russia.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Only se tailor to which Vladimir Putin said, we'll start
using our weapons in proximity to the United States and
European allies. As the US military it made an announcement
it expects Russia to begin air and naval exercises in
the Caribbean Sea. Tammy Trihilo has more.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
The military drills will reportedly involve long range bombers and
Russian warships, making ports of call in.
Speaker 8 (10:40):
Cuba impossibly Venezuela.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
It will be the first Russian military exercise in the
Caribbean since twenty nineteen and is expected to last over
the summer. A US official told The Miami Herald that
the Biden administration believes Russia is using the exercises as
a messaging tactic. After Biden gave Ukraine permission to fire
US made weapons and Russia and self defense.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I'm Tammy Trheo And if you want to do you
away from all this bad news, kind of get your
mind settled and rested. Maybe a long drive that always
seems to do it, and today's the day to do it.
Pre Tennis as the Tails.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
We started parking and watching movies in nineteen thirty three
when the first drive in opened in New Jersey. In
the fifties, there were four thousand drive ins. Driveway dot
Com says now there's only three hundred and twenty one
left in the US. But it is fun to reminisce
about piling into the car and watching a movie outside.
The end of that memory comes down to progress and
the invention of the VCR, the DVD streaming services, and
(11:39):
that big screen TV you have at home. I'm bre Tennis.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Think the last movie I went to a drive in
was Poltergeist? Really that long ago in Chicago. Yeah, we
used to miss them, you know, they were gonna put
the little thing on the window. Up until about a
year or two ago. We had won in Franklin, Kentucky,
and we would go up there and take the kids
and pile up in the back of the suv. I
wonder if somebody opened one, if it might go Probably not.
Speaker 9 (12:05):
Finally, here for those of you who and I think
it's gonna be an aat pick showdown. NBA Finals Game one, Boston,
It'll be the Mavericks and the Celtics tonight at seven.
NHL Stanley Cup Finals Edmonton and Florida begins Saturday night
at seven. Baseball Raise one, Cards won, Rangers one, d.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Backs lost, NAT's lost, Mariners lost, and the Guardians were off.
How about they all those listening at ktok and Oklahoma City.
How about those ladies Sooners eight to three last night
over Texas, they take Game one of the NCAA Softball
World Series that gives them about a seventy four percent
chance of winning as history goes, and if they win
(12:45):
one more, they'll become the first college team ever to
four peat. How crazy is that? Birthdays today? A guy
that won a few championships himself, Tennis great Bjorn Borg
is sixty eight. One of my favorite actors, it's Paul
Giamudi fifty seven. At Tennessee Titan wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins
is thirty two. And if it's your birthday, Happy birthday.
(13:07):
We're so glad you were born. This is your morning
show with Michael Deltrno. As always, we have the microphone.
If you're streaming on your iHeart app, that's a talkback button.
Hit it, leave a message. There's no waiting on hold.
We get it instantly. We can share it with the class.
Speaking of that, I have obviously gotten Aaron to fall
to new Low's. She did her Ai head shot and
(13:30):
you look presidential aerin.
Speaker 10 (13:34):
I don't know why I didn't give me a lion
though it's such a bummer.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
They usually give you.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I want a lion. The tough one for you is
it cut your hair in one of them and very
Charlie's thereon with short hair, you may have to do
that one. But yeah, you like the way it makes
your hair look. That's the biggest difference you notice.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (13:52):
It also it makes the eyes look wonky, where you're like, oh,
there's something like you can tell it's Ai.
Speaker 8 (13:56):
There's something in the eyes.
Speaker 10 (13:57):
I don't know, maybe that's like a human looking into
the so we're like the eyes the eyes are off,
the eyes are off.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah, mine kept turning me into Sylvester Stallone. At least
you get turned.
Speaker 10 (14:05):
Into Charlie's very handsome in yours.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yeah, but you know, when you think of you could
just sit there in your scrubs, take a headshot, and
then somebody puts you in a suit and there's your
you know, professional picture. That part's scary and frankly, it
makes you look a little better, but it's a lot
more like you than you think. All right. I was
just thinking to myself, what's the NASDAQ going to do today?
(14:28):
What is the New York Stock Exchange going to do?
And I thought, why, guess anybody ever created a competitor,
you know, and now we got one out of Texas.
Speaker 10 (14:37):
Yes, the Texas.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Easy for us to say, can we get AI to
speak first next?
Speaker 10 (14:43):
I know, right that would be helpful, and yes it
will for sure, I know. Unfortunately, this stock exchange t
s a t x SE that has raised approximately one
hundred and twenty million. It's done it from individual investors,
and it's done it from the big boys, black Rock
and Citadel. They are behind this, and it's supposed to
aim to attract those who are sick of the onerous
(15:07):
regulations at the New York Stock Exchange in the NASDAQ. Basically,
it's an anti woke agenda of this exchange, because there
are newer rules that set targets for board diversity at
the Nasdaq and t x SE pledges to be more
CEO friendly. They again anti woke a political I think
in saying that you're anti woke, you're kind of making
yourself political. But that's fine, and I think that it
(15:30):
really speaks to the shifting corporate US landscape that we
see right now.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
There's a lot of so we are.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
The divided States of America. We're divided politically, and now
it's actually impacting our investments.
Speaker 10 (15:43):
Well, I want to say this, There's always been regional
stock exchanges. There was the Boston, the Philadelphia, the Chicago
Merk They folded in the past couple decades into the
New York Stock Exchange on the NASDAQ, and there's been
a duopoly for a long time. So I think having
regional exchanges on.
Speaker 8 (15:59):
Its face is not a thing.
Speaker 10 (16:00):
I actually think it's a good thing because we do
have this duopoly in terms of corporate stock listings, and
there are a lot of Fortune five hundred companies in
texasue of excelon Mobile.
Speaker 8 (16:10):
Do you have American Airlines?
Speaker 10 (16:11):
Goldman is actually breaking ground on, but you don't who I.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Am, actress lead sa Varga in My Morning Show Is
Your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno. We talked about
this earlier in the week, and sometimes it's it's not
so much that everything is bad as much as that's
what we report on, that's what we argue about, that's
what we focus on. We take our cues of all
cops from George Floyd incident, or the judicial system from
(16:37):
the oj trial or the Trump trial, but that isn't
how it goes. And I was watching this homicide New
York City documentary and you get a real look.
Speaker 11 (16:46):
At what cops and detectives and das are really like
in their pursuit of justice for the families of victims,
and you're like, wait a minute, our perception is off.
And I think part of that is we need to
focus on the good. We need to talk about the good,
and that's exactly what they plan to do. Contemporary Christian
(17:09):
artist and author Michelle Polar of the book Untangled, which
I highly recommend you read, is starting a new television
show called The Farm Where Miracles Grow, and she'll be
one of the hosts that are going to tell these
simple stories of ordinary people living extraordinary lives, and we
need your help in finding some of those stories to tell.
Speaker 8 (17:29):
Good morning, Michelle, Thank you for having me here, my
dear friend, and thank you for sharing your amazing audience,
because I know, I know the kind of people who
listen to you are going to be able.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
To help us with this.
Speaker 10 (17:43):
Well.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
We're in search of these people because we've got the
pilot episode done, but we need some other episodes, six
more in particular, and right now we're doing a nationwide
search of just ordinary people. When we talk about the
kinds of people, they could be people that you would think,
you know, with what's happened to them, they should just
sit home and feel sorry for themselves. They're not. They're
(18:04):
changing the world. Or people that are silently doing big
things they don't want anybody to notice. But these stories
need to be told, don't they absolutely.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
I mean, let's put on some good television.
Speaker 9 (18:16):
You know.
Speaker 8 (18:16):
We did the pilot because we wanted to capture what
goes on here at the farm. It really is a
conduit there. For some reason, ever since the very first
miracle in twenty thirteen, the farm changed and I felt it,
but everyone who visited here felt it, and it's just
a place where people find what they need.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Why do you think that is? Do we have to
get away from the stage where the drama of our
life takes place to get a perspective?
Speaker 8 (18:47):
Or you know, it's funny you should ask that.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (18:51):
I don't because I lived on this farm before that
first miracle, and I lived on the farm after the
miracle happened and the farm changed. I don't know how
that happens, but I know it happened. And so my
honestly my prayer was what should I do with this farm?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
This's not just for me, right?
Speaker 8 (19:11):
And so this show was birthed in my heart and
that was over ten years ago, and here we are.
I think the timing is perfect. People tell me all
the time they don't know what to watch on television.
We've done some test viewings and everyone from twelve to
eighty loves the show. So it resonates with everyone because
because everybody loves to see a hero's life, especially a
(19:34):
hero that doesn't look at themselves as a hero.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Like you mentioned, we've used this loosely off the air,
and that is it's kind of like touched by an angel.
Meets Undercover Boss. I was watching somebody I can remember
who it was. He was trying to explain that he's
a very sensitive man and he'll cry at the drop
of the hat, and he uses his example I ball
every time at the end of Undercover Boss. I remember crying.
A few episodes of Undercover Boss. Oh yeah, you know,
(20:00):
they kept doing it over and over again. Then I
started anticipating it. But but that's you.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
Know, it's funny people that watch The Farmer Miracles Grow
and the pilot episode, they I haven't seen one person
be able to hold back the tears there. And I
can't give away all the all the secrets, but it's
it's just the But the Lion's share of the episode
is really diving deep into the person's story, Like you
(20:25):
get to go into their life and see the layers
of their struggle or see the layers inspiring.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I mean, that's how we need to be inspired to offset,
you know, the beating down every day.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
Absolutely, the the guests on the show are are going
to be teachers for us, all to remind us of
the better part of who we are as humans. I
just want this show to remind us all of the
better part of who we are. And so your listeners,
if as we're talking about this, if somebody comes to mind,
it could be a daughter, it could be your wife,
(20:58):
it could be your teacher, a co worker, just someone
you know. You can go to the farm tv dot com.
We have a landing page setup for you, the farm
tv dot com, and you can tell us your story
and we can hardly I can hardly wait because we
have found some great stories through professional means like social
(21:21):
workers and things. But I know that people that are
ordinary people that are hearing this right now, they know
great people that are coping well, that are rising above,
that are brave and that you know, just walk through
their day with joy and gratefulness even though they technically
(21:43):
shouldn't be able to do that, And that those are
the people we're going to celebrate. We're going to really
tell their story in a vivid way.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
In any given day, I would say, Man, the world's awful.
It's filled with awful people. I mean, why doesn't Jesus
just return enough? And then I can go through my
phone at all my contacts, and I can't find anything
but extraordinary people that are doing extraordinary things every day
that nobody's noticing the world is a lot better than
(22:13):
we give it credit for, and it's filled with a
lot of good people that God's doing a lot of
amazing things through. We just don't tell those stories. So
it's important that we address that and start telling them.
And that's what The Farmer Miracle Grows endeavors to do.
Michelle Paular joining us. The show has its pilot. We're
looking for other people to be nominated to be on
the show. So if you know somebody living a very
(22:35):
extraordinary an ordinary person living a very extraordinary life, or
overcoming something extraordinary and not letting it stop them or
what have you, you can nominate them. All you have
to do is go to thefarmtv dot com and it's
so easy. You just write. The landing page tells you
everything you know about the show, and then it goes
right into name email, popapop tell us the story and
(22:57):
then you're gonna what look at all these stories, start
vetting them and then and pick some people for episode two, three, four, five.
Speaker 8 (23:03):
Six exactly. That's what we'll do.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
And then they get and by the way, I guess,
if they get selected, they get to come to the farm.
You know, when you think about a television show. One
of the first things you got to worry about is,
you know, shot sights and so on. So you got
it all right there and it film.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
Its gorgeous.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
This farm.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yeah, I had a miracle on the farm. I know.
Do you know what my miracle was?
Speaker 8 (23:29):
Was it getting your brain back?
Speaker 5 (23:31):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
My dog?
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I came to the farm and I live in a
house where my wife is a cat person and would
never allow me to have a dog. I'm a dog
person who has become a lover of both now cats
and dogs. So we get there and I wanted to
go see Shashel che show's real name was Shanny, but
she Shall had two teeth strategically placed in his mouth.
He was a horse. Because how old was Cecil in
(23:55):
human years?
Speaker 8 (23:56):
In human years, Cecil was forty five years old.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I wanted to go to the barn and talk to
him about Nixon, and so Bentley was standing there, said Bentley,
let's go to the barn. I want to meet Cecil.
So we go all away to the barn and everything,
and I'm talking to Cecil and giving him a kiss goodbye,
And I said, uh, oh, how do I get back
to the house, and so I asked, your dog, Bentley, Bentley,
take me to the house. And Bentley would run twenty
(24:20):
feet and stop, and when I catch up, he run
twenty more and he led me all the way back
to the house.
Speaker 8 (24:24):
I don't believe that.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
And so and then when I came in, I said, Andrea,
this is a dog we should get because I've always
wanted a smart dog. You won't believe. And then by
the end of the visit, Andrew was like, I would
do that dog. And then you brought up his brother
is still available. She drove the next day to Alabama
and got a boomer Baker Mayfield, who we affectionately call Scout.
(24:46):
He was a littermate of your Bentley and he is
now my precious boy. So that was my miracle on
the pharm.
Speaker 8 (24:51):
You know, I forgot. You know, I know this sounds
like I'm making this up, but I've seen so many
miracles of small things that people need and they find.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Out I need all I know.
Speaker 8 (25:03):
And I know how much you love that dog. I've
seen you with that dog. It almost scares me how
much you love your dog. Well, and I don't know
if it's fair for me to give one little example
of a story before we before we wrap up here.
But I think it's okay. You know, for the pilot,
For the pilot episode, we found a kid, seventeen year
(25:24):
old kid, and he lives with a brain disorder where
the veins and the arteries in his brain are tangled.
So the bottom line is Logan lives every day not
knowing it's if it's his last.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Day and one day will be and.
Speaker 8 (25:41):
One day will and because people that pass from this disorder,
they just literally fall over and they're gone. And his
life and how he lives it is so extraordinary, and
his attitude and he's a delight and he's joyful and
he's funny, and he doesn't feel entitled and he doesn't
want to hand out. And I could go on and
(26:02):
on about Logan. He was bullied in junior high and
his mother wanted to pull him out of school and
homeschool him. And he wasn't really bullied, he was just
kind of made fun of. He hates when I He
actually hates it when I say that. He said, Michelle,
I wasn't bullied. They just kind of teased me a
little because I walk funny and all that. And he
told his mother, I'm not going to homeschool. If I'm
(26:25):
going to die, I don't want to die in front
of my computer doing homeschool. He said, I want to
go to school. So what did he do? He walked
over to the bullies or I'm sorry, Logan. He walked
over to his classmates and he said, hey, let me
tell you what's going on in my head and why
I walk a little funny. And they all became best friends.
(26:46):
And Logan calls himself the boss and protectors. Friends and protectors.
That's what I mean. Yeah, friends and protector. That's why
he calls himself a mob boss. He said, anybody even
looks at him sideways. You know, his friends protect him.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
But I mean, no, I think it's important. We don't
want to give away the show, but I think it's
important to tell the kind of the stories that we're
looking for because they're so inspiring to watch.
Speaker 8 (27:10):
Believe me, Michael, there's so much to that show that
I could talk about it for another five minutes. You
still wouldn't, you know, spoil the surprises and the just
the layers of Logan. But that just gives you a
living example of someone that's and you know it could
be something that's not a physical problem.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
It to be something that it could be anything. The
Farm Where Miracles Grow an extraordinary docuseriies. The pilot has done,
but they have to do six more episodes, and we're
looking for you across the country to nominate people. We've
created a landing page. It's so easy to nominate somebody.
Just go to the farm tv dot com thefarmtv dot
com and tell us the story. We've gotten a few
(27:52):
this week, but you know, somebody just an ordinary person
doing extraordinary things, good things. We want to hear their
stories and consider the peach them on the show. Michelle
Pular so grateful to have her stop by. Well. Coming up,
why is D Day's anniversary so important to remember an honor?
What is its military and historic significance? Military and historian
(28:15):
Robert Greenway will be joining us in exactly eighteen minutes
to discuss just that. Coming up next, your top five
stories of the day as your Morning show continues. Hi there,
I'm Kimmy Stevens and my morning show is your Morning
Show with Michael bel John. Island Democrats and Republicans sat
down with a reporter at the Wall Street Journal to
talk about how the president's cognitive abilities have been declining.
(28:39):
Then the White House scrambled to get them all to
pull the story. Lisa Taylor has the details.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
The story includes accounts that the eighty one year old
Biden displays in unevenness in meetings and is sometimes hard
to hear when he speaks. White House officials criticize the
story for being based largely on accounts from anonymous Republicans.
The paper interviewed more than forty five people, and while
most of those who voice concerned were Republicans, some Democrats
also said it was noticeable Biden allies took issue with
(29:06):
the fact the only lawmaker to strongly criticize the president
on the record was former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who
said the president is not the same person he was
when he was Vice president. Finally, said Taylor, I.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Make sure you can follow the bouncing ball on this.
So it is significant that President Biden gave Ukraine permission
to use our weapons and missiles on Russian soil, not
in the battleground of Ukraine. Vladimir Putin responds by saying, well,
that's fine, We're going to start using our missiles in
(29:38):
your areas. European and US, and then we get word
from the US military that Russia is going to begin
air and naval exercises in the Caribbean Sea in the
coming weeks. Tabby Tarihilo reports.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
The military drills will reportedly involve long range bombers and
Russian warships, making courts of call in Cuba impossibly Venezuela.
It will be the first Russian military exercise in the
Caribbeans and twenty nineteen, and is expected to last over
the summer. A US official told The Miami Herald that
the Biden administration believes Russia is using the exercises as
a messaging tactic after Biden gave Ukraine permission to fire
(30:13):
US made weapons into Russia in self defense.
Speaker 8 (30:16):
I'm Tammy trheo.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
YouTube is restricting some firearm content for younger users. Brian
shook us back with details.
Speaker 12 (30:23):
The company announced that starting on June eighteenth, content showing
homemade firearms, automatic firearms, and certain accessories will be age restricted.
Content showing how to remove safety devices will also be
banned under the new rules. A big tech watchdog, the
Tech Transparency Project, called the move a step in the
(30:43):
right direction, but questioned why it took the time it did.
I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
You would think that every recording artist, touring artist has
vanished from the planet Earth, and all that's left is
Taylor Swift. Now in New York City. A walking tour
company says it's hiring a Taylor Swift inspired tour of
the Big Apple. Sarah Lee Kessler, It's that story.
Speaker 13 (31:10):
If you're a Swifty, get your guide dot com wants
you to take visitors to Taylor's favorite city hotspots, oh Man.
That could include walks around the high Line and of
course the West Village.
Speaker 8 (31:23):
Venzil Place on Conoei Street.
Speaker 13 (31:26):
Swift has since moved, but she still hangs out downtown,
including at the Waverley Inn, the members only Club Zero Bond,
and the Bus Stop Cafe. I thought, so, who had
the bus stop? And then though another possible stop, NYU,
where Swift picked up an honorary doctorate in twenty twenty two.
Sarah Lee Kessler, NBC News Radio, New York.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
I think I'd rather just go to a Yankees game.
NBA Finals Game one is tonight. The Dallas Mavericks in
Boston versus the Celtics, tip off seven o'clock stand. The
Cup finals will be Saturday, United seven, Edmonton at Florida.
Let's see how our area baseball teams did. Raise one,
Cards won, Rangers one, Dbacks, Nats, Mariners lost, and the
(32:09):
Guardians were off. Oh you won eight three in women's softball,
taking game one. If they win game two or three,
they become the first college sports team ever to fourpeat.
Bjorn Borgus sixty eight today, Paul Giamati fifty seven. DeAndre
Hopkins of the Titans thirty two. Happy birthday if that's
your birthday.
Speaker 7 (32:28):
Hey, I'm Olympic gold medalist Scott Hamilton and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorna
Hi, It's Michael. 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 happier
here now. Enjoy the podcast. I know how much of
that we want to delight in as the case is
being made of a man struggling with drugs and illegally
(00:21):
acquiring a gun. Donald Trump's election subversion case in Georgia
is a huge story, kind of like his documents case
in Florida put on hold indefinitely. If law Fair was
a plan, it has certainly not worked. And Ukraine, I
missed the eightieth anniversary of D Day. Nobody ever wants
to experience a World war again. Well, nobody's gonna like
(00:43):
these drum beats. Ukraine striking inside Russia with the US
weapons for the first time since the Biden administration granted permission. Meanwhile,
Russian President Vladimir Putin responds by saying he'll consider deploying
conventional missiles within striking distance of the United States and Europe,
and the US military expecting Russia to begin air and
(01:04):
naval exercises in the Caribbean Sea in the coming months
and weeks. Meanwhile, the presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy Junior
says it's Joe Biden's fault that he won't be at
the debate stage. We'll have more on these and other
top stories throughout the day, but none get bigger than
D Day. You know, how do you put D Day
into perspective? You know, the war was so massive, so entrenched.
(01:32):
You had the Pacific theater as well as the European theater.
You had the US staying out, then getting in, then
leading the liberation. But that pivotal moment, probably one other
islander two in the Pacific some would call pivotal. The
(01:53):
most pivotal moment to take down Hitler in Nazi Germany
was D Day and the Normandy invasion. I was sitting
watching a documentary that they have since colorized. The amount
of footage we have from D Day and when the
thousands upon thousands upon thousands of troops that came from
(02:14):
ships into the boats to go to shore, those that
were air dropped in, there's some remarkable footage. And my
son looked at me and said, Wow, there's something about
colorizing it, Jeffrey that makes all the difference in the world.
You're looking into a human face and eyes, and these
kids are all in this boat made famous in saving
(02:35):
Private Rne. You know, the front would open up. There's
one who survived and is doing the narration and it
was his job to open the door. That kind of
drops and then all the troops just walk right in
to a wall of bullets, and everybody knew what they
(02:56):
were up against. And you're looking at a boat with
each individual boat with hundreds and hundreds of soldiers nine
out of ten at best, one out of ten at
best will live, praying right before the door opens. The
particular piece that they showed the guy's narrativizing. You know,
(03:18):
they gave me the order to open. We were close
enough to shore open it. And as he was going
to open it, he can hear the bullets hitting the boat,
and he said, I paused for a moment in fear,
and then it just opened and he just watched them
all go into the bullets. It's nothing quite puts you
(03:40):
at pause like the thoughts of D Day and the
hell of that beach, and it makes you wonder and
there was a holiday Christmas program that explored this profoundly.
What is the significance of D Day? What is its
military six nificance, what is its historical significance? Oh, my gosh,
(04:03):
where do you begin? Where do you end? It's everything.
We're gonna have an expert later, Robert Greenway explain to us.
But what I like to focus in on is what
forged the courage of the individuals that were willing to
sacrifice their lives for victory. And what the Christmas program
(04:25):
looked at was, these are the children of the Great Depression.
Without the Great Depression, you wouldn't have had the Greatest Generation.
And I think probably one of the most significant things
we could say today on June sixth, twenty twenty four,
the eightieth anniversary of D Day, this could be the
(04:47):
last major commemoration of World War Two veterans while some
are still alive, and speaking of some that are still alive,
wouldn't start to show any other way D Day eighty
years later, its military and world history significance, and the
courage of the Greatest generation to pull it off. Here's
(05:07):
your Morning Show White House correspondent John Decker with our
special report.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
For most Americans. Archival footage of D Day June sixth,
nineteen forty four is our only connection to one of
the most important battles of World War II. Eighty years
after that day that saved the world, ninety nine year
old George Sarrows still vividly remembers how he felt as
he landed on Utah Beach aboard his transport ship LST
(05:35):
five point fifteen.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I know we were work whether we're going to make
it or not, whether we were going to keep the
beach there or not.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Sarah's, the native of Chicago, was just nineteen years old
his mission as a motor machinist when his ship hit
the beach at one pm deliver AMMO troops, tanks, ambulances,
and jeeps in exchange for wounded paratroopers to be brought
back to England for medical attention.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
When we hit the beach, we opened the bow doors
and lowered the ramps, and the ambulance were coming and
we were taking all the guys who were wounded, putting
them on the tank deck. I don't know how many
we picked up. We rode in a whole handtake. That's
what all the LSTs were going.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
The D Day invasion was the largest naval, air, and
land operation in history. Success didn't come easy. Some four
thousand Allied troops were killed by German soldiers defending the beaches.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I really love the guys. We were all together. We
worked lived out for each other.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
For George.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Sarah's D Day was a noble cause. Here at the
World War II Memorial in Washington, the words of President Roosevelt,
delivered to the nation on D Day are engraved in memoria.
They fight not for the love of conquest. They fight
to end conquest. They fight to liberate.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
When you're stop and think of those who sacrifice our lives.
When those guys hit the beach, you've lost four or
five thousand us on the beach. We should we should
honor them, make it a regular celebration, because if it
hasn't been for the generation that I grew up, I
don't know what our nation would have been if we'd
(07:23):
have lost the war.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Why were you so lucky, George, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I think the Lord was there. I have a great
trust for the Lord, and I often think about that.
You know why us.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
If there's one lament of this true American hero, it
is more about this country's future rather than our past.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I'll tell you, I'm really disappointed in our country now.
I think we're going the wrong way. I don't see
the comradity that we have when we were to war.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
That camaraderie is what helped America defeat tyranny. For George Sarah,
who will soon turn one hundred, D Day is a
reminder of what our country can achieve when it comes
together and is unified in purpose. In Flat Rock, North Carolina,
on John Decker just powerful. We have the great pleasure
(08:16):
of visiting with John Decker almost on a daily basis.
And I remember when he was making the trip to
North Carolina and he was so excited about his time
with Saro's, and boy it paid off.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
What a voice it wants to be heard. Coming up
on one hundred years old. On this the eightieth anniversary
of D Day, Donald Trump's election subversion case in Georgia
is going the way of the Document's case in Florida.
Indefinite pause Brian Shook reports at Georgia Court of Appeals
(08:46):
indefinitely paused the case against the former president and several
of his code defendants until a panel of judges rules
on whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be removed.
Trump's legal team is pushing to disqualify Willis over her
relationship with a special prosecutor she hired to lead the case.
Trump and more than a dozen of his allies are
(09:08):
charged with racketeering for efforts to overturn the twenty twenty election.
I'm Brian Shuk. President Biden says there's every reason for
people to believe that Israeli Prime Minister bb Netanyahu is
prolonging the war in Gaza and doing so for political reasons.
A political statement, Here's Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Biden appeared on the cover of Time magazine Tuesday with
the caption if he wins. In an interview with Time,
Biden was told that some people in Israel believe that
Netanyahu is prolonging the war for his own political self preservation,
and was asked if he believed this. Biden said there
was every reason for people to draw that conclusion. The
interview was conducted last week, three days before Biden laid
(09:51):
out his plan for a hostage and Seesmier deal. I'm
Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Ukraine is striking inside Russia with US weapons for the
first time since the Biden ministration granted permission to do so.
Lisa Taylor has More.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
A Ukrainian parliament member, confirmed that US weapons hit Russian
logistics and artillery locations this week. Putin warned of fatal
consequences if the US ignores Moscow's warnings that Ukraine should
not use weapons provided by Washington to attack Russia.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Only se tailor to which Vladimir Putin said, we'll start
using our weapons in proximity to the United States and
European allies. As the US military it made an announcement
it expects Russia to begin air and naval exercises in
the Caribbean Sea. Tammy Trihilo has more.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
The military drills will reportedly involve long range bombers and
Russian warships, making ports of call in.
Speaker 8 (10:40):
Cuba impossibly Venezuela.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
It will be the first Russian military exercise in the
Caribbean since twenty nineteen and is expected to last over
the summer. A US official told The Miami Herald that
the Biden administration believes Russia is using the exercises as
a messaging tactic. After Biden gave Ukraine permission to fire
US made weapons and Russia and self defense.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I'm Tammy Trheo And if you want to do you
away from all this bad news, kind of get your
mind settled and rested. Maybe a long drive that always
seems to do it, and today's the day to do it.
Pre Tennis as the Tails.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
We started parking and watching movies in nineteen thirty three
when the first drive in opened in New Jersey. In
the fifties, there were four thousand drive ins. Driveway dot
Com says now there's only three hundred and twenty one
left in the US. But it is fun to reminisce
about piling into the car and watching a movie outside.
The end of that memory comes down to progress and
the invention of the VCR, the DVD streaming services, and
(11:39):
that big screen TV you have at home. I'm bre Tennis.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Think the last movie I went to a drive in
was Poltergeist? Really that long ago in Chicago. Yeah, we
used to miss them, you know, they were gonna put
the little thing on the window. Up until about a
year or two ago. We had won in Franklin, Kentucky,
and we would go up there and take the kids
and pile up in the back of the suv. I
wonder if somebody opened one, if it might go Probably not.
Speaker 9 (12:05):
Finally, here for those of you who and I think
it's gonna be an aat pick showdown. NBA Finals Game one, Boston,
It'll be the Mavericks and the Celtics tonight at seven.
NHL Stanley Cup Finals Edmonton and Florida begins Saturday night
at seven. Baseball Raise one, Cards won, Rangers one, d.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Backs lost, NAT's lost, Mariners lost, and the Guardians were off.
How about they all those listening at ktok and Oklahoma City.
How about those ladies Sooners eight to three last night
over Texas, they take Game one of the NCAA Softball
World Series that gives them about a seventy four percent
chance of winning as history goes, and if they win
(12:45):
one more, they'll become the first college team ever to
four peat. How crazy is that? Birthdays today? A guy
that won a few championships himself, Tennis great Bjorn Borg
is sixty eight. One of my favorite actors, it's Paul
Giamudi fifty seven. At Tennessee Titan wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins
is thirty two. And if it's your birthday, Happy birthday.
(13:07):
We're so glad you were born. This is your morning
show with Michael Deltrno. As always, we have the microphone.
If you're streaming on your iHeart app, that's a talkback button.
Hit it, leave a message. There's no waiting on hold.
We get it instantly. We can share it with the class.
Speaking of that, I have obviously gotten Aaron to fall
to new Low's. She did her Ai head shot and
(13:30):
you look presidential aerin.
Speaker 10 (13:34):
I don't know why I didn't give me a lion
though it's such a bummer.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
They usually give you.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I want a lion. The tough one for you is
it cut your hair in one of them and very
Charlie's thereon with short hair, you may have to do
that one. But yeah, you like the way it makes
your hair look. That's the biggest difference you notice.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (13:52):
It also it makes the eyes look wonky, where you're like, oh,
there's something like you can tell it's Ai.
Speaker 8 (13:56):
There's something in the eyes.
Speaker 10 (13:57):
I don't know, maybe that's like a human looking into
the so we're like the eyes the eyes are off,
the eyes are off.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah, mine kept turning me into Sylvester Stallone. At least
you get turned.
Speaker 10 (14:05):
Into Charlie's very handsome in yours.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yeah, but you know, when you think of you could
just sit there in your scrubs, take a headshot, and
then somebody puts you in a suit and there's your
you know, professional picture. That part's scary and frankly, it
makes you look a little better, but it's a lot
more like you than you think. All right. I was
just thinking to myself, what's the NASDAQ going to do today?
(14:28):
What is the New York Stock Exchange going to do?
And I thought, why, guess anybody ever created a competitor,
you know, and now we got one out of Texas.
Speaker 10 (14:37):
Yes, the Texas.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Easy for us to say, can we get AI to
speak first next?
Speaker 10 (14:43):
I know, right that would be helpful, and yes it
will for sure, I know. Unfortunately, this stock exchange t
s a t x SE that has raised approximately one
hundred and twenty million. It's done it from individual investors,
and it's done it from the big boys, black Rock
and Citadel. They are behind this, and it's supposed to
aim to attract those who are sick of the onerous
(15:07):
regulations at the New York Stock Exchange in the NASDAQ. Basically,
it's an anti woke agenda of this exchange, because there
are newer rules that set targets for board diversity at
the Nasdaq and t x SE pledges to be more
CEO friendly. They again anti woke a political I think
in saying that you're anti woke, you're kind of making
yourself political. But that's fine, and I think that it
(15:30):
really speaks to the shifting corporate US landscape that we
see right now.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
There's a lot of so we are.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
The divided States of America. We're divided politically, and now
it's actually impacting our investments.
Speaker 10 (15:43):
Well, I want to say this, There's always been regional
stock exchanges. There was the Boston, the Philadelphia, the Chicago
Merk They folded in the past couple decades into the
New York Stock Exchange on the NASDAQ, and there's been
a duopoly for a long time. So I think having
regional exchanges on.
Speaker 8 (15:59):
Its face is not a thing.
Speaker 10 (16:00):
I actually think it's a good thing because we do
have this duopoly in terms of corporate stock listings, and
there are a lot of Fortune five hundred companies in
texasue of excelon Mobile.
Speaker 8 (16:10):
Do you have American Airlines?
Speaker 10 (16:11):
Goldman is actually breaking ground on, but you don't who I.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Am, actress lead sa Varga in My Morning Show Is
Your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno. We talked about
this earlier in the week, and sometimes it's it's not
so much that everything is bad as much as that's
what we report on, that's what we argue about, that's
what we focus on. We take our cues of all
cops from George Floyd incident, or the judicial system from
(16:37):
the oj trial or the Trump trial, but that isn't
how it goes. And I was watching this homicide New
York City documentary and you get a real look.
Speaker 11 (16:46):
At what cops and detectives and das are really like
in their pursuit of justice for the families of victims,
and you're like, wait a minute, our perception is off.
And I think part of that is we need to
focus on the good. We need to talk about the good,
and that's exactly what they plan to do. Contemporary Christian
(17:09):
artist and author Michelle Polar of the book Untangled, which
I highly recommend you read, is starting a new television
show called The Farm Where Miracles Grow, and she'll be
one of the hosts that are going to tell these
simple stories of ordinary people living extraordinary lives, and we
need your help in finding some of those stories to tell.
Speaker 8 (17:29):
Good morning, Michelle, Thank you for having me here, my
dear friend, and thank you for sharing your amazing audience,
because I know, I know the kind of people who
listen to you are going to be able.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
To help us with this.
Speaker 10 (17:43):
Well.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
We're in search of these people because we've got the
pilot episode done, but we need some other episodes, six
more in particular, and right now we're doing a nationwide
search of just ordinary people. When we talk about the
kinds of people, they could be people that you would think,
you know, with what's happened to them, they should just
sit home and feel sorry for themselves. They're not. They're
(18:04):
changing the world. Or people that are silently doing big
things they don't want anybody to notice. But these stories
need to be told, don't they absolutely.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
I mean, let's put on some good television.
Speaker 9 (18:16):
You know.
Speaker 8 (18:16):
We did the pilot because we wanted to capture what
goes on here at the farm. It really is a
conduit there. For some reason, ever since the very first
miracle in twenty thirteen, the farm changed and I felt it,
but everyone who visited here felt it, and it's just
a place where people find what they need.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Why do you think that is? Do we have to
get away from the stage where the drama of our
life takes place to get a perspective?
Speaker 8 (18:47):
Or you know, it's funny you should ask that.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (18:51):
I don't because I lived on this farm before that
first miracle, and I lived on the farm after the
miracle happened and the farm changed. I don't know how
that happens, but I know it happened. And so my
honestly my prayer was what should I do with this farm?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
This's not just for me, right?
Speaker 8 (19:11):
And so this show was birthed in my heart and
that was over ten years ago, and here we are.
I think the timing is perfect. People tell me all
the time they don't know what to watch on television.
We've done some test viewings and everyone from twelve to
eighty loves the show. So it resonates with everyone because
because everybody loves to see a hero's life, especially a
(19:34):
hero that doesn't look at themselves as a hero.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Like you mentioned, we've used this loosely off the air,
and that is it's kind of like touched by an angel.
Meets Undercover Boss. I was watching somebody I can remember
who it was. He was trying to explain that he's
a very sensitive man and he'll cry at the drop
of the hat, and he uses his example I ball
every time at the end of Undercover Boss. I remember crying.
A few episodes of Undercover Boss. Oh yeah, you know,
(20:00):
they kept doing it over and over again. Then I
started anticipating it. But but that's you.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
Know, it's funny people that watch The Farmer Miracles Grow
and the pilot episode, they I haven't seen one person
be able to hold back the tears there. And I
can't give away all the all the secrets, but it's
it's just the But the Lion's share of the episode
is really diving deep into the person's story, Like you
(20:25):
get to go into their life and see the layers
of their struggle or see the layers inspiring.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I mean, that's how we need to be inspired to offset,
you know, the beating down every day.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
Absolutely, the the guests on the show are are going
to be teachers for us, all to remind us of
the better part of who we are as humans. I
just want this show to remind us all of the
better part of who we are. And so your listeners,
if as we're talking about this, if somebody comes to mind,
it could be a daughter, it could be your wife,
(20:58):
it could be your teacher, a co worker, just someone
you know. You can go to the farm tv dot com.
We have a landing page setup for you, the farm
tv dot com, and you can tell us your story
and we can hardly I can hardly wait because we
have found some great stories through professional means like social
(21:21):
workers and things. But I know that people that are
ordinary people that are hearing this right now, they know
great people that are coping well, that are rising above,
that are brave and that you know, just walk through
their day with joy and gratefulness even though they technically
(21:43):
shouldn't be able to do that, And that those are
the people we're going to celebrate. We're going to really
tell their story in a vivid way.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
In any given day, I would say, Man, the world's awful.
It's filled with awful people. I mean, why doesn't Jesus
just return enough? And then I can go through my
phone at all my contacts, and I can't find anything
but extraordinary people that are doing extraordinary things every day
that nobody's noticing the world is a lot better than
(22:13):
we give it credit for, and it's filled with a
lot of good people that God's doing a lot of
amazing things through. We just don't tell those stories. So
it's important that we address that and start telling them.
And that's what The Farmer Miracle Grows endeavors to do.
Michelle Paular joining us. The show has its pilot. We're
looking for other people to be nominated to be on
the show. So if you know somebody living a very
(22:35):
extraordinary an ordinary person living a very extraordinary life, or
overcoming something extraordinary and not letting it stop them or
what have you, you can nominate them. All you have
to do is go to thefarmtv dot com and it's
so easy. You just write. The landing page tells you
everything you know about the show, and then it goes
right into name email, popapop tell us the story and
(22:57):
then you're gonna what look at all these stories, start
vetting them and then and pick some people for episode two, three, four, five.
Speaker 8 (23:03):
Six exactly. That's what we'll do.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
And then they get and by the way, I guess,
if they get selected, they get to come to the farm.
You know, when you think about a television show. One
of the first things you got to worry about is,
you know, shot sights and so on. So you got
it all right there and it film.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
Its gorgeous.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
This farm.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yeah, I had a miracle on the farm. I know.
Do you know what my miracle was?
Speaker 8 (23:29):
Was it getting your brain back?
Speaker 5 (23:31):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
My dog?
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I came to the farm and I live in a
house where my wife is a cat person and would
never allow me to have a dog. I'm a dog
person who has become a lover of both now cats
and dogs. So we get there and I wanted to
go see Shashel che show's real name was Shanny, but
she Shall had two teeth strategically placed in his mouth.
He was a horse. Because how old was Cecil in
(23:55):
human years?
Speaker 8 (23:56):
In human years, Cecil was forty five years old.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I wanted to go to the barn and talk to
him about Nixon, and so Bentley was standing there, said Bentley,
let's go to the barn. I want to meet Cecil.
So we go all away to the barn and everything,
and I'm talking to Cecil and giving him a kiss goodbye,
And I said, uh, oh, how do I get back
to the house, and so I asked, your dog, Bentley, Bentley,
take me to the house. And Bentley would run twenty
(24:20):
feet and stop, and when I catch up, he run
twenty more and he led me all the way back
to the house.
Speaker 8 (24:24):
I don't believe that.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
And so and then when I came in, I said, Andrea,
this is a dog we should get because I've always
wanted a smart dog. You won't believe. And then by
the end of the visit, Andrew was like, I would
do that dog. And then you brought up his brother
is still available. She drove the next day to Alabama
and got a boomer Baker Mayfield, who we affectionately call Scout.
(24:46):
He was a littermate of your Bentley and he is
now my precious boy. So that was my miracle on
the pharm.
Speaker 8 (24:51):
You know, I forgot. You know, I know this sounds
like I'm making this up, but I've seen so many
miracles of small things that people need and they find.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Out I need all I know.
Speaker 8 (25:03):
And I know how much you love that dog. I've
seen you with that dog. It almost scares me how
much you love your dog. Well, and I don't know
if it's fair for me to give one little example
of a story before we before we wrap up here.
But I think it's okay. You know, for the pilot,
For the pilot episode, we found a kid, seventeen year
(25:24):
old kid, and he lives with a brain disorder where
the veins and the arteries in his brain are tangled.
So the bottom line is Logan lives every day not
knowing it's if it's his last.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Day and one day will be and.
Speaker 8 (25:41):
One day will and because people that pass from this disorder,
they just literally fall over and they're gone. And his
life and how he lives it is so extraordinary, and
his attitude and he's a delight and he's joyful and
he's funny, and he doesn't feel entitled and he doesn't
want to hand out. And I could go on and
(26:02):
on about Logan. He was bullied in junior high and
his mother wanted to pull him out of school and
homeschool him. And he wasn't really bullied, he was just
kind of made fun of. He hates when I He
actually hates it when I say that. He said, Michelle,
I wasn't bullied. They just kind of teased me a
little because I walk funny and all that. And he
told his mother, I'm not going to homeschool. If I'm
(26:25):
going to die, I don't want to die in front
of my computer doing homeschool. He said, I want to
go to school. So what did he do? He walked
over to the bullies or I'm sorry, Logan. He walked
over to his classmates and he said, hey, let me
tell you what's going on in my head and why
I walk a little funny. And they all became best friends.
(26:46):
And Logan calls himself the boss and protectors. Friends and protectors.
That's what I mean. Yeah, friends and protector. That's why
he calls himself a mob boss. He said, anybody even
looks at him sideways. You know, his friends protect him.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
But I mean, no, I think it's important. We don't
want to give away the show, but I think it's
important to tell the kind of the stories that we're
looking for because they're so inspiring to watch.
Speaker 8 (27:10):
Believe me, Michael, there's so much to that show that
I could talk about it for another five minutes. You
still wouldn't, you know, spoil the surprises and the just
the layers of Logan. But that just gives you a
living example of someone that's and you know it could
be something that's not a physical problem.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
It to be something that it could be anything. The
Farm Where Miracles Grow an extraordinary docuseriies. The pilot has done,
but they have to do six more episodes, and we're
looking for you across the country to nominate people. We've
created a landing page. It's so easy to nominate somebody.
Just go to the farm tv dot com thefarmtv dot
com and tell us the story. We've gotten a few
(27:52):
this week, but you know, somebody just an ordinary person
doing extraordinary things, good things. We want to hear their
stories and consider the peach them on the show. Michelle
Pular so grateful to have her stop by. Well. Coming up,
why is D Day's anniversary so important to remember an honor?
What is its military and historic significance? Military and historian
(28:15):
Robert Greenway will be joining us in exactly eighteen minutes
to discuss just that. Coming up next, your top five
stories of the day as your Morning show continues. Hi there,
I'm Kimmy Stevens and my morning show is your Morning
Show with Michael bel John. Island Democrats and Republicans sat
down with a reporter at the Wall Street Journal to
talk about how the president's cognitive abilities have been declining.
(28:39):
Then the White House scrambled to get them all to
pull the story. Lisa Taylor has the details.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
The story includes accounts that the eighty one year old
Biden displays in unevenness in meetings and is sometimes hard
to hear when he speaks. White House officials criticize the
story for being based largely on accounts from anonymous Republicans.
The paper interviewed more than forty five people, and while
most of those who voice concerned were Republicans, some Democrats
also said it was noticeable Biden allies took issue with
(29:06):
the fact the only lawmaker to strongly criticize the president
on the record was former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who
said the president is not the same person he was
when he was Vice president. Finally, said Taylor, I.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Make sure you can follow the bouncing ball on this.
So it is significant that President Biden gave Ukraine permission
to use our weapons and missiles on Russian soil, not
in the battleground of Ukraine. Vladimir Putin responds by saying, well,
that's fine, We're going to start using our missiles in
(29:38):
your areas. European and US, and then we get word
from the US military that Russia is going to begin
air and naval exercises in the Caribbean Sea in the
coming weeks. Tabby Tarihilo reports.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
The military drills will reportedly involve long range bombers and
Russian warships, making courts of call in Cuba impossibly Venezuela.
It will be the first Russian military exercise in the
Caribbeans and twenty nineteen, and is expected to last over
the summer. A US official told The Miami Herald that
the Biden administration believes Russia is using the exercises as
a messaging tactic after Biden gave Ukraine permission to fire
(30:13):
US made weapons into Russia in self defense.
Speaker 8 (30:16):
I'm Tammy trheo.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
YouTube is restricting some firearm content for younger users. Brian
shook us back with details.
Speaker 12 (30:23):
The company announced that starting on June eighteenth, content showing
homemade firearms, automatic firearms, and certain accessories will be age restricted.
Content showing how to remove safety devices will also be
banned under the new rules. A big tech watchdog, the
Tech Transparency Project, called the move a step in the
(30:43):
right direction, but questioned why it took the time it did.
I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
You would think that every recording artist, touring artist has
vanished from the planet Earth, and all that's left is
Taylor Swift. Now in New York City. A walking tour
company says it's hiring a Taylor Swift inspired tour of
the Big Apple. Sarah Lee Kessler, It's that story.
Speaker 13 (31:10):
If you're a Swifty, get your guide dot com wants
you to take visitors to Taylor's favorite city hotspots, oh Man.
That could include walks around the high Line and of
course the West Village.
Speaker 8 (31:23):
Venzil Place on Conoei Street.
Speaker 13 (31:26):
Swift has since moved, but she still hangs out downtown,
including at the Waverley Inn, the members only Club Zero Bond,
and the Bus Stop Cafe. I thought, so, who had
the bus stop? And then though another possible stop, NYU,
where Swift picked up an honorary doctorate in twenty twenty two.
Sarah Lee Kessler, NBC News Radio, New York.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
I think I'd rather just go to a Yankees game.
NBA Finals Game one is tonight. The Dallas Mavericks in
Boston versus the Celtics, tip off seven o'clock stand. The
Cup finals will be Saturday, United seven, Edmonton at Florida.
Let's see how our area baseball teams did. Raise one,
Cards won, Rangers one, Dbacks, Nats, Mariners lost, and the
(32:09):
Guardians were off. Oh you won eight three in women's softball,
taking game one. If they win game two or three,
they become the first college sports team ever to fourpeat.
Bjorn Borgus sixty eight today, Paul Giamati fifty seven. DeAndre
Hopkins of the Titans thirty two. Happy birthday if that's
your birthday.
Speaker 7 (32:28):
Hey, I'm Olympic gold medalist Scott Hamilton and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorna
