Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show could be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
Drive to work live. But we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
This is your Morning Show with Michael Dell Johnny.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Welcome to the show on this Thursday, June thirteenth, I'm
Ryan Gorman with Dana McCain.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
We're live on.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Air and on your iHeartRadio app. Coming up to this hour,
the House voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt.
We're gonna have that for you. Plus US officials growing
more and more frustrated with Hamas after the terrorist organization
once again turned down a ceasefire deal. We'll go live
to Israel for all the latest in about a half hour.
(01:01):
Right now, for some of the biggest stories making news
this morning, let's bring in our national correspondent Rory O'Neill. Rory,
lots of economic news came down yesterday including the latest
inflation report.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
What did it show.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
Yeah, the CPI number, the consumer price index came in
flat for the month. So that's a significant because it
was lower than expected, which means prices for consumers on
most goods and services didn't increase for the month.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
And it's a.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
Better sign and signaled to the Fed that they're raising
of interest rates and the other moves they're making are
finally breaking the back of inflation.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
But we're not there yet.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
So we heard from FED chair to your own Powell
saying that they're going to keep interest rates at this
elevated level and rather than have two rate cuts this year,
now they expect only one will happen before the end
of the year.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
And that's quite a change from what the line of
thinking was coming into this year, where some thought we
could see ray cuts early as March and there would
be multiple cuts throughout the course of twenty twenty four,
and now we're looking at possibly one by the end
of the year, and that's it. Inflation's just been a
little tougher to get under control and get closer to
(02:15):
that two percent target than many expected.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
Yeah, stickier is the word that he had to describe inflation.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
A lot of it is still in housing costs and
your insurance costs, your car insurance, your home insurance, especially
for Floridians. But yeah, it's insurance is something that's been
particularly sticky.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I've talked about this analogy before because I think it
was one of the most brilliant analogies that I had
heard when it comes to inflation. It was from an
economist over at bank Rate, and he said that getting
inflation under control. He said this, I don't know, a
year and a half ago or something, maybe even before that.
(02:54):
The getting inflation under control is like trying to lose weight, right,
So the first you know, twenty pounds, you can drop
those pretty rapidly.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
But then when you get down to those.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Final few pounds, you know that little spot, like right
at the bottom of your stomach, you know that little
trouble spot. That's what's going to be really hard to
flatten out and get under control.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
And that's kind of where we are right now.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Well we are not beach body worthy.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Yeah, we still got the Dad vibe going on when
it comes to the account. Yeah, And also, I think
it's important to put into perspective this inflation report was
good news in the sense that we don't see inflation
going in the wrong direction, but you still have to
(03:46):
keep in mind the cumulative effect that inflation has had,
so it's not increasing at a higher rate than what
we had previously seen over the past few months, but
it's still increasing. And that's on top of everything we've
experienced up to this point.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Right, And I know that the immediate reaction is, oh,
you know, inflation's down. Baloney the price of baloney is
still high. Well, look, we're just talking about the increases
of the prices on top of what's already happened, So
it's still inflating the prices. We're not talking about deflation.
That would be when prices go down. That's actually worse. So, yeah,
(04:25):
this is an inflation and we're finally starting to see
wage growth catch up and start to outpace some of
that inflation.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
So that's been encouraging with the latest data as well.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, I think there was a statistic I saw yesterday
where wage growth since the pandemic, I think it came
in at like twenty two percent, inflation was like twenty percent.
So wage growth has grown quite a bit, but inflation
has basically wiped that out, and then you start to
add in some of what we've see in terms of
housing costs and just different things like that, and that's
(04:55):
why so many families are barely making it right now.
Grocery prices did fall for the fourth straight month, so
that was some good news also in that report. Let's
get to another guys.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Just too quickly.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
No, we still also have that housing crunch where so
many people trapped in their homes that low rate that
they had, They can't afford to buy something newer, and
they don't want to move because they don't want to
give up that rate.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Man, if you had an adjustable rate, man, Yeah, not good. Bad,
bad situation you're in right now. All right, let's get
to another story here covering this morning, we're joined by
our National Forestpound of roy O'Neil. Russian Navy partnering up
with Cuba for some military exercises, which means we've got
Russian ships right off the coast of Florida.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Yeah, and that's happening as the G seven is meeting
there in Italy. I'm sure the scheduling is no coincidence.
And so yes, we've seen this a fleet made up
of a frigate, the nuclear powered submarine, an oil tanker,
and a rescue tug, all pulling into the harbor in Havana,
obviously sending some signals there with that. The Russians and
(05:58):
the Cubans say there are no nuclear weapons on these vessels,
so sure take their word for that, and it's expected
that these ships are going to then sail on to Venezuela,
another key Russian ally in the region.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I just wonder how come the ships aren't there closer
to Russia. I mean, Ukraine has taken down a couple
of ships in Russian navy. You would think maybe they
would need all of them on hand, but I guess
I guess not. I guess they could sacrifice for you
to do these trips around the world.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
Right.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
And look, when you surface your submarine to show it off,
that's a sign because normally, you know, you don't like
to show off where your submarines are located.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Right, Yeah, you want to keep those, you want to
keep those head now, good point, Rory Rory O'Neil, our
national correspondent with US this morning. Rory, really appreciate you
up there, Thanks so much.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
Thanks Ryan.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
All right, let's get some other stories making headlines this morning,
the Republican Ledhouse voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Darlin
in contempt of Congress. Here's Brian Shook with that report.
Speaker 7 (06:55):
This comes after the Justice Department refused to turn over
audio recordings of President Biden's interview with this special council
investigating his handling of classified documents. Special Counsel Robert Hurst
said he would not prosecute Biden because a jury might
see him as a sympathetic, well meaning elderly man with
a poor memory, a line that touched off a political firestorm.
(07:19):
He is the third Attorney general to be held in
contempt of Congress.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I mean, let's be honest, you there's a couple of
things happening with all of this. Clearly you have White
House and the Biden administration concerned that if those audio
tapes are made public that it is not going to
sound great, right.
Speaker 8 (07:40):
Because we know what Biden sounds like when he speaks,
and so it's not going to be good exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
But there's a chance that maybe in parts of the
tape he sounds like this.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Let me close this.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
After I signed the Pack Act into law.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
You know you could have you could have that. I
mean a couple different that you could have this he knows,
I mean that could that could be in the.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Something like that.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
So, yeah, that wouldn't be great for Biden. If you
can hear, we've already seen the transcript.
Speaker 8 (08:18):
And the transcript is much better because they cut out
all the stumbles and they kind of deciphered what he
was saying.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Yeah, So it's true that for political reasons, uh, the
White House, the Biden administration, they don't want these tapes
out there. And it's also true that Republicans for political
reasons political as Yeah. Yeah, the question is whether or not, uh,
the Attorney General has the power, has the legal authority
to withhold these tapes. And that's what this whole battle
(08:43):
has been about. The White House isn't ruling out whether
President Biden would commute his son Hunter Biden's sentence. Press
Secretary to Reechan Pierre declined to say whether the President
would consider doing so, although she pointed to his previous
comments that he would not pardon his son.
Speaker 9 (08:58):
What I will say is, look, I haven't spoken to
the President about this since a verda came out, and
as we all know, the sentencing hasn't even been scheduled yet.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Hunter was convicted Tuesday of three federal felonies for unlawfully
purchasing a gun while addicted to drugs. Presidential commutation could
reduce the sentence completely or partially. She also said she
had nothing to add to President Biden saying last week
that he would not pardon Hunter.
Speaker 10 (09:26):
And he was asked you a question of several questions,
a couple of questions about this, and he was very clear,
very upfront, a very obviously, very definitive.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
We'll have more on all of that coming up a
little bit later on when we check out with ABC
News contributor Sarah Isker, who's going to break down some
of that for us. I do want to note on
our Facebook page we put up and you can follow
us at Ryan Gorman Show, we put up a picture
of the courtroom sketch of Hunter Biden, and if you
(10:00):
go there, the reason we put that up when I
saw it, First of all, his sketch is much better.
It's much more favorable for him.
Speaker 8 (10:09):
Yeah, it's a very flattering sketch of him, as opposed
to what we saw with Trump and Stormy Daniels, where
they just looked and that even I think of the
Tom Brady sketch. Wasn't there a sketch of Tom Brady
in court once where he looks horrible?
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Yeah, it was right. It didn't look like him at all.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
But the reason we put the courtroom sketch of Hunter
Biden up on the Facebook page is because I noticed
this when I kept seeing it, I think he looks
like Richard Nixon in this sketch.
Speaker 11 (10:37):
He does.
Speaker 8 (10:37):
And once you pointed it out to me, I can
totally see it. And I went through and looked at
some pictures of Richard Nixon and you're one hundred percent right.
It totally it looks like a young Richard Nixon like
this the profile.
Speaker 12 (10:47):
It totally does.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I kept seeing it.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I'm like, is that Hunter Biden? That Richard Nixon back
from the dead on trial for his crimes. You could
see it again. You kind of check this out. I'm
telling you, when you see the sketch, you're gonna think
Richard and not Hunter Biden. You can find it Ryan
Gorman Show on Facebook. That's where you can follow us
and check that out. Still to come this hour, more
anti semitic incidents across New York, with one tense situation
(11:13):
unfolding on a subway train. We're going to play the
clip for you in a bit, so stick around for that.
I'm Ryan Gorman with Dana McKay in All Week for
Michael del Chorno. And right now, let's get to a
trending story. Big news tied to the Olympics came down yesterday.
Speaker 8 (11:28):
Yes, transgender swimmer Leah Thomas tried to challenge rules that
prevent her from competing in elite women's races, including the Olympics,
but the judges on the Court of Arbitration for Sports
said she doesn't have standing to bring the case. So
World Aquatics band trans women who have been through mail
puberty from competing in women's races. They did create an
(11:48):
open category that she'd be eligible for, but she wants
to race with the women. She asked this court in
Switzerland to overturn that rule, saying they're unlawful and discriminatory,
but that governing body basically just told her no. Now,
USA Swimming had changed their rules to allow trans women
with low testosterone to compete, and that's how she's been
(12:08):
able to compete in the US.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
This is a mistake, but.
Speaker 8 (12:11):
When it comes to the Olympics, the governing body that
would determine whether or not she can compete.
Speaker 12 (12:16):
They basically just said.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
No, good, That's how it should be.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
There was another story tied to the transgender issue that
I wanted to get to real quick.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Here.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
A top cancer charity has apologized for using the word
cervix instead of the trans friendly term front hole. The
Canadian Cancer Society acknowledge the LGBTQ plus community on a
web page dedicated to cervical cancer. Under the page's words
(12:45):
matter section, the nonprofit said that many non binary people
and transgender men have mixed feelings or feel distanced from
the term cervix. So I mean, do they actually have
doctors telling people you have front hole cancer?
Speaker 12 (13:04):
I sure hope not, because that's just disgusting.
Speaker 8 (13:07):
It's derogatory, and like even just I knew what was
coming because I saw this story and it's awful. It's gross,
it's terrible. It's a cervix. Whether you think you're a
man or not, you have a cervix, and that's what
we should call it.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
I don't know what's going on up there in Canada,
but whoa, I mean, that's awful.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
A little much.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
This is your morning Show with Michael Deltono.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Ran Gorman here with Danna McKinnon and now let's go
to the highline and bring in our national correspondent.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Aaron Reale.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
So, Aaron, I want to start with the Apple story
that you have. Apple's made a lot of news this
week with the unveiling of Apple Intelligence, and now you
have some information on something they're doing with their Apple
Pay service.
Speaker 13 (13:53):
Yes.
Speaker 14 (13:53):
So if you like the Apple Pay and you like
buy now, pay later, well hold on site because the
firm is coming to an eye phone near you. It's
going to surface as an option for US Apple Pay
users on iPhone. It's gonna be an iPad coming later
this year. This is a big deal because Apple introduced
its own buy now, Pay later product earlier this year,
(14:13):
or it was the end of last year anyway, but
it really concerned a lot of tech giants because they
thought that Apple, the biggest of the big was going
to crowd out this provider, Affirm, and the other one
is just like it, the buy now, pay later providers.
But it turns out Apple says, no, what if you
can't beat them, join them the underwright, the underwriting technology
that's in Affirm. They say, is really strong. It's super sophisticated,
(14:35):
and Apple it would take them forever and a lot
of money to replicate it, so they say, come on board.
So your Apple Pay system and all those payments, it's
just going to show up in your phone the buy now,
pay later. So if you're good at paying informs, stallment's great,
if you're not, maybe shy away from that.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
You know, Apple has really expanded on the financial side.
They've got the Apple Savings Account, which has a pretty
awesome interest rate for you know, say aunt, I mean,
I think it's over four percent. And just the expansion
of being able to use Apple Pay pretty much everywhere, Now,
that was one of the benefits I guess you could
(15:13):
say of what we went through during the pandemic. If
you remember before the pandemic, you'd have a lot of
places that they didn't have that phone paying.
Speaker 12 (15:22):
Option, credit card or cast.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Yeah, and now pretty much everywhere does because they wanted
to make it to where you didn't have to touch anything.
There were some other benefits to it, you know, there's
hand sanitizers generally more readily available when you go around
to different places, things like that. But I find it
super I never I don't even carry a wallet anymore.
Speaker 14 (15:42):
Iron the same way. And let me be clear, I'm
a first generation adopter of nothing like this is not
in line with my personality. I still read books on pages.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
But it showed up in.
Speaker 14 (15:52):
My phone and now I'm like, oh, oh, this is great,
and I get now annoyed. If a show is on
somewhere and I'm like, you don't have Apple pay seriously, yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Exactly, I'm like, all right, well, go somewhere else.
Speaker 12 (16:03):
Well, I don't have Apple anything. You can just bully me.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
It's not going well, especially right.
Speaker 8 (16:16):
Actually, I don't care. I have no desire to be
one of you people.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
We were talking Aaron recently. We were talking to a
tech expert about some of the changes coming with this
Apple intelligence, and one of them is I guess they're
straightening out their text messaging set up because there are
a lot of times where I would text Dana and
it wouldn't go through because it's Apple to Android, and
then Dana would think that I'm ignoring her.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Like I'm not responding.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
You know, that could ruin relationships, It really can.
Speaker 14 (16:47):
It can go wrong fast, but but you could always
blame it on the technology. And there you go, and
I know what, Maybe the relationship wasn't meant to be
if one's an android.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Our national correspondent Aaron Reale with us this morning.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Aaron, appreciate the update. We'll talk to you tomorrow. Thank God. Hey,
it's me Michael.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Your morning show can be heard live five to eight
am Central, six to nine Eastern and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio,
or Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and we're grateful you're here. Now, enjoy
the podcast.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Ryan Gorman here with Dana McKay. And now let's go
to the hotline and bring an ABC News correspondent, Geordana Miller,
who's coming to us live from Israel with all the latest.
Jordana really appreciate it taking a few minutes to come
back on with us. And let's start with the response
from the US to Hamas declining to accept the ceasefire
(17:42):
dealer at the very least making a bunch of changes
that essentially nullify the deal. Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln
saying the time for haggling has to stop. It sounds
like frustration is really growing.
Speaker 13 (17:56):
I mean, if you saw that kind of body language
Danti Lincoln, who was in the region yesterday, you see
right away he's so frustrated. Essentially, he said that Hamas
came back and made changes, some he said are not
a big deal, but some he described as unworkable. Uh.
(18:17):
And you know, and that had they had actually gone back,
Hamas had gone back on certain basic parameters it had
already agreed to. So here in Israel, we're slowly beginning
to get the details of what that Hama's response looked like,
and we're trying to confirm them. But certainly, and this
(18:38):
was confirmed by the US official, Hamas has essentially tried
to move up from phase two to phase one, that
is the initial first six weeks of this ceasefire and
the hostage release deal. Hamas now wants Israel in the
first six weeks to declare an end to the war
and to withdraw all It's true, and that is before
(19:01):
even some of the hostages and most of the bodies
have been returned to Israel. This is of course going
to be a non starter for Israel and for the
United States. And so you know, we can understands ex
Lincoln's real frustration now because this takes us back to
(19:23):
square one where there's major There were always big divides.
Now it seems unsurmountable, these obstacles in the negotiations, and
it just doesn't bode well. It appears, you know, we're
so far off from a deal.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
It seems pretty clear that Hamas doesn't want to make
this work because they have to know, coming back with
some of the demands that they had, Like you said,
it's going to be a non starter. The comments that
were written about I believe it was in the Wall
Street Journal, the quote that was attributed to the head
(20:00):
of Hamas that the civilian casualties that are taking place
in Gaza, that those are necessary sacrifices. Is that getting
a lot of play over there in the region.
Speaker 13 (20:12):
It is? It is. I mean, you know, there's no
question that Ja Jassinore has shown throughout this war little
consideration for the civilians, the Palestinian civilians who've died in
this war. Remember, he is the mastermind of the ghastly
October seventh attack. He had to have known that Ivral
(20:34):
would respond forcefully and that there would be civilians caught
in the crosshairs. He is not with the people above ground.
He is below ground, safely somewhere around communists, surrounded by
likely a few hostages, which would make it hard for
Israel to get to him. His fighters and operatives are
(20:57):
siphoning off food, and he is and with you know,
in wealth, air conditioned places. Meanwhile people are suffering. And
in this article by the Wall Street Journal, some of
his messages were intercepted where he calls about he talks
about the necessary sacrifice of civilians being killed and comparing
it to other conflicts in the past. I mean, it
(21:19):
just shows you what we already knew.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
You know.
Speaker 13 (21:22):
There was a very interesting article here recently with the
head of the Israeli prison who got to know Sinoir,
Yachasinoar when ya Kasinoar was jailed here, and he said
to him in one of his conversations, how many people
would have to die for your vision of you know, Palestine?
(21:43):
You know, what would what would be acceptable to you?
One hundred thousand? And he answered back, and this is
twenty years ago. He answered back, two hundred thousand would
be okay. Right, So we're at we're at thirty seven thousand,
which is a tic number. But for Seinoir it may
just be the beginning.
Speaker 11 (22:05):
Right.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
We're joined by ABC News correspondent Geord Donna Miller, who's
coming to us live from Israel. So looks like we're
not going to have a deal anytime soon. What does
that potentially mean for the situation in Rafa where there
were some operations under way.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
I'm not sure how much activity there's been there recently.
What are you hearing about that?
Speaker 13 (22:26):
Well, there are still operations going on in Rafa. Israel
struck several targets there today, but most of the focus
over the last twenty four or forty eight hours has
been on the northern border with Lebanon and the fighting
between Husbala and Israel because Israel. Israel assassinated a very
(22:49):
senior Husbala leader, and then in response, during a Jewish
holiday here yesterday, Husbala fired over two hundred rockets, which
is a record for this war. And even going back
to the last official war that Israel and Jsbola fought
back in two thousand and six, Hasbela never fired except
for maybe one or two days. From what I can remember,
(23:10):
the average during that war was about one hundred, which
is what we see sometimes this time around. But this
really stood out with over two hundred rockets. There's fires
burning in Israel's north. Thank god, most people have evacuated
Israel's north, so there were nobody was killed now civilians,
no soldiers. But today sirens have gone off several times,
(23:35):
but there has not been a very heavy barrage of
rocket fire today. So perhaps has Bala's response to that
killing is behind us. But the fear now, of course,
is that every time there is an Israeli strike deeper
into Lebanon or targeted killing or has Bala responds, the
risk of the two sides being dragged into a war
(23:57):
that at least we hear both sides don't really want.
That risk increases every time. And that's what is so
unpredictable and precarious about war in general, and in particular
this war.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
And that's something that US officials, according to new reports,
are growing more and more concerned about correct the escalation
that we've seen in recent days to the north.
Speaker 13 (24:23):
Absolutely, absolutely, we saw reports coming out, you know, just
in the last several hours that the White House is
scrambling to talk to the parties on both sides. That
would be the Lebanese government right to it doesn't talk
correctly to the black and is all about trying to
(24:46):
you know, pull back and de escalate. We know that
President Biden for many, many months has been trying to
work out a diplomatic solution for the northern border. Almost
hooks seen, his special envoy has been here time and
time again through this. They're trying to set more or
(25:06):
less the border between Lebanon and Israel. What would then
make it, you know, null and void and you know,
no purpose to have bull of fighters in that region
if you have a border that is pretty much set
and recognized by the international community. So that is what
they're working on. The question is, you know, the time
(25:27):
the clock is ticking. You know, we all talks Safire,
talks for Gaza. The more pressure builds up on the
northern border, and you know that's a dangerous situation.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
ABC News correspondent Jordana Miller with all the latest live
from Israel. Jordana always appreciate the time in the insight.
Thanks so much for coming back on.
Speaker 13 (25:49):
Thank you so much, Huckson.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
And I think those comments by the head of Hamas
about the amount of civilian casualties he'd be willing to accept,
you know, two hundred thousand. I think that is very telling,
and just the comments that were reported on in that
Wall Street Journal piece that you know, civilian sacrifices are
necessary sacrifices, that to me, that's not getting the headlines
(26:15):
that it deserves. I mean, it was a report. We
covered it here, I saw a few other outlets covered it.
But you know, if Israel strikes and they take out
you know, a weapons cash and there are some innocent
civilians who are killed in the process, that you know
gets blanket coverage. But the head of Hamas essentially saying
(26:37):
part of the reason we're you know, not really that
interested in negotiating is because we don't really care what
happens to the people in Gaza. In the meantime, it
feels like that should get a whole lot more attention
than what we've seen over the past couple of days.
Still to come this morning, we're gonna have the latest
on the ICE arrests of illegal immigrants with ties to ISIS,
(26:58):
So make sure you stick around for them. I'm Ryan
Gorman with Dann McKay in for Michael del Jorno this week,
and right now, let's get to a trending story.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
You know, I said start at twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
This year it was going to be a big year
for UFOs and aliens, and we keep.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Learning more and more, including this.
Speaker 12 (27:14):
This is ridiculous.
Speaker 8 (27:16):
An unidentified technologically advanced population could be living secretly here
on Earth.
Speaker 12 (27:23):
This claim was made in a new.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
Paper by researchers at Harvard and Montana Technological University. So
they think there are crypto terrestrials that are living among us,
and that that's the explanation for all of the unidentified
and unexplainable observations made around the world. So a few things.
Theories in this paper that a remnant form of ancient
(27:46):
civilization remains here on Earth, that an intelligent species evolved
separately from humans and now stays hidden, That crypto terrestrials
traveled from another time period or planet and now they're
living here. That the unidentify creatures are of supernatural origin,
like earth bound angels. And it also suggests the idea
(28:06):
that crypto terrestrials are living in or under lakes and volcanoes.
They also say that the influx of sightings in particular
areas is due to the entry and exit exit points
for those hidden societies deep.
Speaker 12 (28:20):
In the Earth.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Yeah, that makes sense. No, totally plausible.
Speaker 12 (28:25):
This is absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
There's a show on I think it's Apple TV Sugar.
It's with Colin Farrell and if you watch that show,
it ties into all of this.
Speaker 12 (28:37):
You watch way too much TV. Let me tell it's
not real.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Let me tell you something. They're among us. And you
know who the aliens are. They're the slow left lane drivers.
They're the ones who don't pick up after their dog
when they crap in your yard because they're trying to
see how we react.
Speaker 12 (28:54):
They're testing us, they're trying to get it.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
People like you exactly right. It's all a big tests who.
That's who the aliens are in disguise.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
This is Paul David Patterson down in Toledo District believes
in my morning show It's your Morning Show with Michael.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Jordan, Brian Gorman here with Dana McKay. We've seen some
really alarming incidents take place in New York involving just
blatant anti semitism right out in the open. We played
this for you yesterday. This was an anti Israel protester
saying that he wished Hitler was still around to wipe
(29:33):
out all the Jews, listen to this. I wish Hitler
was still here. He would have wiped all of you out.
(29:54):
That's what he said to Jews who were there in
that area. This was like an event commemorating, memorializing what
happened on October seventh at that music festival. Uh.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
Then we have this incident.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Masked anti Israel protesters took over a New York City
subway car the other day and demanded to know if
there were any Zionists on the train, and then issued
a warning listen to this to get out.
Speaker 15 (30:34):
Okay, no Zis were good?
Speaker 4 (30:39):
I mean, what is going on in this country?
Speaker 9 (30:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (30:41):
And it was a whole subway car full of people
who were all engaged in this. It's not we're not
talking about just a couple a handful of fringe people
like this is a whole group that was doing this.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
And in a lot of instances, you've got these people,
these anti Semitic protesters, because that's what they are. It's
beyond being pro pala Stein or even anti Israel. They're
just anti Semitic protesters. They're wearing masks, and now Jewish
leaders are calling for a New York City mask ban
after all of these protests with mobs hiding their faces,
(31:16):
so they're you know, a lot of them are playing
dress up. It's like they want to be a memorial. Yeah,
which is crazy in and of itself, but like, if
you're going to go out there, the guy who said
I wish Hitler was still here, he didn't have a
mask on, So I'll give him that. Like, we all
know who he is now and hopefully his life has
(31:37):
been turned upside down over the past few days since
that clip went viral. But a lot of these people
are shouting this stuff and doing these Hezbollah and Hamas
chance they're hiding behind masks so well of what they're doing,
they should, but I want to know who exactly they are, right,
And then we've got this story for you. The NYPD
(31:57):
is investigating after the home of the brook Lynn Museum's
Jewish director was defaced.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Here's Lisa g with that report.
Speaker 11 (32:05):
Officials also say the vandals targeted the homes of several
of the museum's Jewish board members. New York City Controller
Brad Lander called the vandals cowards, while Mayor Adams called
the incident a crime. The vandalism comes around two weeks
after anti Israel protesters broke into the museum and clashed
with police. In addition, cops are also investigating vandalism at
(32:27):
the Palestinian Authority building on the Upper East Side Wednesday morning,
where the street was littered with pamphlets and red paint.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
And then and that's got to be really scary for
you know, the director of that museum and the board members.
And then while we're in the northeast, Oh, what is
in the water up there? But when you go to
East Brunswick, New Jersey, you'll find a high school yearbook
that's being updated with professionally corrected pages after omitting a
(32:58):
Jewish student club and sparking a huge controversy. Here Sarah
Lee Kessler with that report.
Speaker 15 (33:04):
The firestorm began last week when the Jewish student union
and members' names were omitted from the East Brunswick High
School yearbook and replaced with a photo of Muslim students.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
It is an anti Semtic act.
Speaker 12 (33:16):
It doesn't imply who did it.
Speaker 15 (33:18):
Mayor Bradcone is demanding answers, saying it's hard to understand
how this could have happened by accident.
Speaker 7 (33:24):
I wish people would give us time to investigate not
rush to judgment.
Speaker 15 (33:28):
But school superintendent Victor Veleski told People magazine and initial
investigation shows the yearbook staff never got a photo from
the club or a roster.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
So they never got a photo from the club or
a roster. Wouldn't you ask for it first? And then
if you don't get it, why would you put pictures
of Muslim students in that spot? I don't know, it
seems pretty purpose.
Speaker 12 (33:54):
Yeah, it definitely does.
Speaker 8 (33:56):
You would just probably leave it blank, yeah, instead of
being a picture of Muslim students exactly.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
And then there was this incident during President Biden's speech
on gun control the other day. An anti Israel protester
interrupted it, saying this is genocide.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
This is his response.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
No no, no, no no no no no no no, no.
Speaker 13 (34:23):
No no no.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Surprised he didn't say, well, no, yes to that, yes
to the four more years.
Speaker 13 (34:32):
Folks, Folks, it's okay or.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Gay care.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Innocent children have been lost, they make up.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Cornh not exactly the best response from the president. Look, yes,
he's right, innocent children have been killed, but it's not genocide.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Israel's not committing genocide.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
That that's what he should have said, And then he
should have put the onus back on Hamas and the
leader who openly said.
Speaker 8 (35:00):
Two hundred thousand is there. Yeah, that's how many he's
willing to sacrifice.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
That's the price of doing business. Apparently, according to Hamas.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Bell, Jorno
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show could be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
Drive to work live. But we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
This is your Morning Show with Michael Dell Johnny.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Welcome to the show on this Thursday, June thirteenth, I'm
Ryan Gorman with Dana McCain.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
We're live on.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Air and on your iHeartRadio app. Coming up to this hour,
the House voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt.
We're gonna have that for you. Plus US officials growing
more and more frustrated with Hamas after the terrorist organization
once again turned down a ceasefire deal. We'll go live
to Israel for all the latest in about a half hour.
(01:01):
Right now, for some of the biggest stories making news
this morning, let's bring in our national correspondent Rory O'Neill. Rory,
lots of economic news came down yesterday including the latest
inflation report.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
What did it show.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
Yeah, the CPI number, the consumer price index came in
flat for the month. So that's a significant because it
was lower than expected, which means prices for consumers on
most goods and services didn't increase for the month.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
And it's a.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
Better sign and signaled to the Fed that they're raising
of interest rates and the other moves they're making are
finally breaking the back of inflation.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
But we're not there yet.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
So we heard from FED chair to your own Powell
saying that they're going to keep interest rates at this
elevated level and rather than have two rate cuts this year,
now they expect only one will happen before the end
of the year.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
And that's quite a change from what the line of
thinking was coming into this year, where some thought we
could see ray cuts early as March and there would
be multiple cuts throughout the course of twenty twenty four,
and now we're looking at possibly one by the end
of the year, and that's it. Inflation's just been a
little tougher to get under control and get closer to
(02:15):
that two percent target than many expected.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
Yeah, stickier is the word that he had to describe inflation.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
A lot of it is still in housing costs and
your insurance costs, your car insurance, your home insurance, especially
for Floridians. But yeah, it's insurance is something that's been
particularly sticky.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I've talked about this analogy before because I think it
was one of the most brilliant analogies that I had
heard when it comes to inflation. It was from an
economist over at bank Rate, and he said that getting
inflation under control. He said this, I don't know, a
year and a half ago or something, maybe even before that.
(02:54):
The getting inflation under control is like trying to lose weight, right,
So the first you know, twenty pounds, you can drop
those pretty rapidly.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
But then when you get down to those.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Final few pounds, you know that little spot, like right
at the bottom of your stomach, you know that little
trouble spot. That's what's going to be really hard to
flatten out and get under control.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
And that's kind of where we are right now.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Well we are not beach body worthy.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Yeah, we still got the Dad vibe going on when
it comes to the account. Yeah, And also, I think
it's important to put into perspective this inflation report was
good news in the sense that we don't see inflation
going in the wrong direction, but you still have to
(03:46):
keep in mind the cumulative effect that inflation has had,
so it's not increasing at a higher rate than what
we had previously seen over the past few months, but
it's still increasing. And that's on top of everything we've
experienced up to this point.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Right, And I know that the immediate reaction is, oh,
you know, inflation's down. Baloney the price of baloney is
still high. Well, look, we're just talking about the increases
of the prices on top of what's already happened, So
it's still inflating the prices. We're not talking about deflation.
That would be when prices go down. That's actually worse. So, yeah,
(04:25):
this is an inflation and we're finally starting to see
wage growth catch up and start to outpace some of
that inflation.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
So that's been encouraging with the latest data as well.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, I think there was a statistic I saw yesterday
where wage growth since the pandemic, I think it came
in at like twenty two percent, inflation was like twenty percent.
So wage growth has grown quite a bit, but inflation
has basically wiped that out, and then you start to
add in some of what we've see in terms of
housing costs and just different things like that, and that's
(04:55):
why so many families are barely making it right now.
Grocery prices did fall for the fourth straight month, so
that was some good news also in that report. Let's
get to another guys.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Just too quickly.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
No, we still also have that housing crunch where so
many people trapped in their homes that low rate that
they had, They can't afford to buy something newer, and
they don't want to move because they don't want to
give up that rate.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Man, if you had an adjustable rate, man, Yeah, not good. Bad,
bad situation you're in right now. All right, let's get
to another story here covering this morning, we're joined by
our National Forestpound of roy O'Neil. Russian Navy partnering up
with Cuba for some military exercises, which means we've got
Russian ships right off the coast of Florida.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Yeah, and that's happening as the G seven is meeting
there in Italy. I'm sure the scheduling is no coincidence.
And so yes, we've seen this a fleet made up
of a frigate, the nuclear powered submarine, an oil tanker,
and a rescue tug, all pulling into the harbor in Havana,
obviously sending some signals there with that. The Russians and
(05:58):
the Cubans say there are no nuclear weapons on these vessels,
so sure take their word for that, and it's expected
that these ships are going to then sail on to Venezuela,
another key Russian ally in the region.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I just wonder how come the ships aren't there closer
to Russia. I mean, Ukraine has taken down a couple
of ships in Russian navy. You would think maybe they
would need all of them on hand, but I guess
I guess not. I guess they could sacrifice for you
to do these trips around the world.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
Right.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
And look, when you surface your submarine to show it off,
that's a sign because normally, you know, you don't like
to show off where your submarines are located.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Right, Yeah, you want to keep those, you want to
keep those head now, good point, Rory Rory O'Neil, our
national correspondent with US this morning. Rory, really appreciate you
up there, Thanks so much.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
Thanks Ryan.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
All right, let's get some other stories making headlines this morning,
the Republican Ledhouse voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Darlin
in contempt of Congress. Here's Brian Shook with that report.
Speaker 7 (06:55):
This comes after the Justice Department refused to turn over
audio recordings of President Biden's interview with this special council
investigating his handling of classified documents. Special Counsel Robert Hurst
said he would not prosecute Biden because a jury might
see him as a sympathetic, well meaning elderly man with
a poor memory, a line that touched off a political firestorm.
(07:19):
He is the third Attorney general to be held in
contempt of Congress.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I mean, let's be honest, you there's a couple of
things happening with all of this. Clearly you have White
House and the Biden administration concerned that if those audio
tapes are made public that it is not going to
sound great, right.
Speaker 8 (07:40):
Because we know what Biden sounds like when he speaks,
and so it's not going to be good exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
But there's a chance that maybe in parts of the
tape he sounds like this.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Let me close this.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
After I signed the Pack Act into law.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
You know you could have you could have that. I
mean a couple different that you could have this he knows,
I mean that could that could be in the.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Something like that.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
So, yeah, that wouldn't be great for Biden. If you
can hear, we've already seen the transcript.
Speaker 8 (08:18):
And the transcript is much better because they cut out
all the stumbles and they kind of deciphered what he
was saying.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Yeah, So it's true that for political reasons, uh, the
White House, the Biden administration, they don't want these tapes
out there. And it's also true that Republicans for political
reasons political as Yeah. Yeah, the question is whether or not, uh,
the Attorney General has the power, has the legal authority
to withhold these tapes. And that's what this whole battle
(08:43):
has been about. The White House isn't ruling out whether
President Biden would commute his son Hunter Biden's sentence. Press
Secretary to Reechan Pierre declined to say whether the President
would consider doing so, although she pointed to his previous
comments that he would not pardon his son.
Speaker 9 (08:58):
What I will say is, look, I haven't spoken to
the President about this since a verda came out, and
as we all know, the sentencing hasn't even been scheduled yet.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Hunter was convicted Tuesday of three federal felonies for unlawfully
purchasing a gun while addicted to drugs. Presidential commutation could
reduce the sentence completely or partially. She also said she
had nothing to add to President Biden saying last week
that he would not pardon Hunter.
Speaker 10 (09:26):
And he was asked you a question of several questions,
a couple of questions about this, and he was very clear,
very upfront, a very obviously, very definitive.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
We'll have more on all of that coming up a
little bit later on when we check out with ABC
News contributor Sarah Isker, who's going to break down some
of that for us. I do want to note on
our Facebook page we put up and you can follow
us at Ryan Gorman Show, we put up a picture
of the courtroom sketch of Hunter Biden, and if you
(10:00):
go there, the reason we put that up when I
saw it, First of all, his sketch is much better.
It's much more favorable for him.
Speaker 8 (10:09):
Yeah, it's a very flattering sketch of him, as opposed
to what we saw with Trump and Stormy Daniels, where
they just looked and that even I think of the
Tom Brady sketch. Wasn't there a sketch of Tom Brady
in court once where he looks horrible?
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Yeah, it was right. It didn't look like him at all.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
But the reason we put the courtroom sketch of Hunter
Biden up on the Facebook page is because I noticed
this when I kept seeing it, I think he looks
like Richard Nixon in this sketch.
Speaker 11 (10:37):
He does.
Speaker 8 (10:37):
And once you pointed it out to me, I can
totally see it. And I went through and looked at
some pictures of Richard Nixon and you're one hundred percent right.
It totally it looks like a young Richard Nixon like
this the profile.
Speaker 12 (10:47):
It totally does.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I kept seeing it.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I'm like, is that Hunter Biden? That Richard Nixon back
from the dead on trial for his crimes. You could
see it again. You kind of check this out. I'm
telling you, when you see the sketch, you're gonna think
Richard and not Hunter Biden. You can find it Ryan
Gorman Show on Facebook. That's where you can follow us
and check that out. Still to come this hour, more
anti semitic incidents across New York, with one tense situation
(11:13):
unfolding on a subway train. We're going to play the
clip for you in a bit, so stick around for that.
I'm Ryan Gorman with Dana McKay in All Week for
Michael del Chorno. And right now, let's get to a
trending story. Big news tied to the Olympics came down yesterday.
Speaker 8 (11:28):
Yes, transgender swimmer Leah Thomas tried to challenge rules that
prevent her from competing in elite women's races, including the Olympics,
but the judges on the Court of Arbitration for Sports
said she doesn't have standing to bring the case. So
World Aquatics band trans women who have been through mail
puberty from competing in women's races. They did create an
(11:48):
open category that she'd be eligible for, but she wants
to race with the women. She asked this court in
Switzerland to overturn that rule, saying they're unlawful and discriminatory,
but that governing body basically just told her no. Now,
USA Swimming had changed their rules to allow trans women
with low testosterone to compete, and that's how she's been
(12:08):
able to compete in the US.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
This is a mistake, but.
Speaker 8 (12:11):
When it comes to the Olympics, the governing body that
would determine whether or not she can compete.
Speaker 12 (12:16):
They basically just said.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
No, good, That's how it should be.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
There was another story tied to the transgender issue that
I wanted to get to real quick.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Here.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
A top cancer charity has apologized for using the word
cervix instead of the trans friendly term front hole. The
Canadian Cancer Society acknowledge the LGBTQ plus community on a
web page dedicated to cervical cancer. Under the page's words
(12:45):
matter section, the nonprofit said that many non binary people
and transgender men have mixed feelings or feel distanced from
the term cervix. So I mean, do they actually have
doctors telling people you have front hole cancer?
Speaker 12 (13:04):
I sure hope not, because that's just disgusting.
Speaker 8 (13:07):
It's derogatory, and like even just I knew what was
coming because I saw this story and it's awful. It's gross,
it's terrible. It's a cervix. Whether you think you're a
man or not, you have a cervix, and that's what
we should call it.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
I don't know what's going on up there in Canada,
but whoa, I mean, that's awful.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
A little much.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
This is your morning Show with Michael Deltono.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Ran Gorman here with Danna McKinnon and now let's go
to the highline and bring in our national correspondent.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Aaron Reale.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
So, Aaron, I want to start with the Apple story
that you have. Apple's made a lot of news this
week with the unveiling of Apple Intelligence, and now you
have some information on something they're doing with their Apple
Pay service.
Speaker 13 (13:53):
Yes.
Speaker 14 (13:53):
So if you like the Apple Pay and you like
buy now, pay later, well hold on site because the
firm is coming to an eye phone near you. It's
going to surface as an option for US Apple Pay
users on iPhone. It's gonna be an iPad coming later
this year. This is a big deal because Apple introduced
its own buy now, Pay later product earlier this year,
(14:13):
or it was the end of last year anyway, but
it really concerned a lot of tech giants because they
thought that Apple, the biggest of the big was going
to crowd out this provider, Affirm, and the other one
is just like it, the buy now, pay later providers.
But it turns out Apple says, no, what if you
can't beat them, join them the underwright, the underwriting technology
that's in Affirm. They say, is really strong. It's super sophisticated,
(14:35):
and Apple it would take them forever and a lot
of money to replicate it, so they say, come on board.
So your Apple Pay system and all those payments, it's
just going to show up in your phone the buy now,
pay later. So if you're good at paying informs, stallment's great,
if you're not, maybe shy away from that.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
You know, Apple has really expanded on the financial side.
They've got the Apple Savings Account, which has a pretty
awesome interest rate for you know, say aunt, I mean,
I think it's over four percent. And just the expansion
of being able to use Apple Pay pretty much everywhere, Now,
that was one of the benefits I guess you could
(15:13):
say of what we went through during the pandemic. If
you remember before the pandemic, you'd have a lot of
places that they didn't have that phone paying.
Speaker 12 (15:22):
Option, credit card or cast.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Yeah, and now pretty much everywhere does because they wanted
to make it to where you didn't have to touch anything.
There were some other benefits to it, you know, there's
hand sanitizers generally more readily available when you go around
to different places, things like that. But I find it
super I never I don't even carry a wallet anymore.
Speaker 14 (15:42):
Iron the same way. And let me be clear, I'm
a first generation adopter of nothing like this is not
in line with my personality. I still read books on pages.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
But it showed up in.
Speaker 14 (15:52):
My phone and now I'm like, oh, oh, this is great,
and I get now annoyed. If a show is on
somewhere and I'm like, you don't have Apple pay seriously, yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Exactly, I'm like, all right, well, go somewhere else.
Speaker 12 (16:03):
Well, I don't have Apple anything. You can just bully me.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
It's not going well, especially right.
Speaker 8 (16:16):
Actually, I don't care. I have no desire to be
one of you people.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
We were talking Aaron recently. We were talking to a
tech expert about some of the changes coming with this
Apple intelligence, and one of them is I guess they're
straightening out their text messaging set up because there are
a lot of times where I would text Dana and
it wouldn't go through because it's Apple to Android, and
then Dana would think that I'm ignoring her.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Like I'm not responding.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
You know, that could ruin relationships, It really can.
Speaker 14 (16:47):
It can go wrong fast, but but you could always
blame it on the technology. And there you go, and
I know what, Maybe the relationship wasn't meant to be
if one's an android.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Our national correspondent Aaron Reale with us this morning.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Aaron, appreciate the update. We'll talk to you tomorrow. Thank God. Hey,
it's me Michael.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Your morning show can be heard live five to eight
am Central, six to nine Eastern and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio,
or Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and we're grateful you're here. Now, enjoy
the podcast.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Ryan Gorman here with Dana McKay. And now let's go
to the hotline and bring an ABC News correspondent, Geordana Miller,
who's coming to us live from Israel with all the latest.
Jordana really appreciate it taking a few minutes to come
back on with us. And let's start with the response
from the US to Hamas declining to accept the ceasefire
(17:42):
dealer at the very least making a bunch of changes
that essentially nullify the deal. Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln
saying the time for haggling has to stop. It sounds
like frustration is really growing.
Speaker 13 (17:56):
I mean, if you saw that kind of body language
Danti Lincoln, who was in the region yesterday, you see
right away he's so frustrated. Essentially, he said that Hamas
came back and made changes, some he said are not
a big deal, but some he described as unworkable. Uh.
(18:17):
And you know, and that had they had actually gone back,
Hamas had gone back on certain basic parameters it had
already agreed to. So here in Israel, we're slowly beginning
to get the details of what that Hama's response looked like,
and we're trying to confirm them. But certainly, and this
(18:38):
was confirmed by the US official, Hamas has essentially tried
to move up from phase two to phase one, that
is the initial first six weeks of this ceasefire and
the hostage release deal. Hamas now wants Israel in the
first six weeks to declare an end to the war
and to withdraw all It's true, and that is before
(19:01):
even some of the hostages and most of the bodies
have been returned to Israel. This is of course going
to be a non starter for Israel and for the
United States. And so you know, we can understands ex
Lincoln's real frustration now because this takes us back to
(19:23):
square one where there's major There were always big divides.
Now it seems unsurmountable, these obstacles in the negotiations, and
it just doesn't bode well. It appears, you know, we're
so far off from a deal.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
It seems pretty clear that Hamas doesn't want to make
this work because they have to know, coming back with
some of the demands that they had, Like you said,
it's going to be a non starter. The comments that
were written about I believe it was in the Wall
Street Journal, the quote that was attributed to the head
(20:00):
of Hamas that the civilian casualties that are taking place
in Gaza, that those are necessary sacrifices. Is that getting
a lot of play over there in the region.
Speaker 13 (20:12):
It is? It is. I mean, you know, there's no
question that Ja Jassinore has shown throughout this war little
consideration for the civilians, the Palestinian civilians who've died in
this war. Remember, he is the mastermind of the ghastly
October seventh attack. He had to have known that Ivral
(20:34):
would respond forcefully and that there would be civilians caught
in the crosshairs. He is not with the people above ground.
He is below ground, safely somewhere around communists, surrounded by
likely a few hostages, which would make it hard for
Israel to get to him. His fighters and operatives are
(20:57):
siphoning off food, and he is and with you know,
in wealth, air conditioned places. Meanwhile people are suffering. And
in this article by the Wall Street Journal, some of
his messages were intercepted where he calls about he talks
about the necessary sacrifice of civilians being killed and comparing
it to other conflicts in the past. I mean, it
(21:19):
just shows you what we already knew.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
You know.
Speaker 13 (21:22):
There was a very interesting article here recently with the
head of the Israeli prison who got to know Sinoir,
Yachasinoar when ya Kasinoar was jailed here, and he said
to him in one of his conversations, how many people
would have to die for your vision of you know, Palestine?
(21:43):
You know, what would what would be acceptable to you?
One hundred thousand? And he answered back, and this is
twenty years ago. He answered back, two hundred thousand would
be okay. Right, So we're at we're at thirty seven thousand,
which is a tic number. But for Seinoir it may
just be the beginning.
Speaker 11 (22:05):
Right.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
We're joined by ABC News correspondent Geord Donna Miller, who's
coming to us live from Israel. So looks like we're
not going to have a deal anytime soon. What does
that potentially mean for the situation in Rafa where there
were some operations under way.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
I'm not sure how much activity there's been there recently.
What are you hearing about that?
Speaker 13 (22:26):
Well, there are still operations going on in Rafa. Israel
struck several targets there today, but most of the focus
over the last twenty four or forty eight hours has
been on the northern border with Lebanon and the fighting
between Husbala and Israel because Israel. Israel assassinated a very
(22:49):
senior Husbala leader, and then in response, during a Jewish
holiday here yesterday, Husbala fired over two hundred rockets, which
is a record for this war. And even going back
to the last official war that Israel and Jsbola fought
back in two thousand and six, Hasbela never fired except
for maybe one or two days. From what I can remember,
(23:10):
the average during that war was about one hundred, which
is what we see sometimes this time around. But this
really stood out with over two hundred rockets. There's fires
burning in Israel's north. Thank god, most people have evacuated
Israel's north, so there were nobody was killed now civilians,
no soldiers. But today sirens have gone off several times,
(23:35):
but there has not been a very heavy barrage of
rocket fire today. So perhaps has Bala's response to that
killing is behind us. But the fear now, of course,
is that every time there is an Israeli strike deeper
into Lebanon or targeted killing or has Bala responds, the
risk of the two sides being dragged into a war
(23:57):
that at least we hear both sides don't really want.
That risk increases every time. And that's what is so
unpredictable and precarious about war in general, and in particular
this war.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
And that's something that US officials, according to new reports,
are growing more and more concerned about correct the escalation
that we've seen in recent days to the north.
Speaker 13 (24:23):
Absolutely, absolutely, we saw reports coming out, you know, just
in the last several hours that the White House is
scrambling to talk to the parties on both sides. That
would be the Lebanese government right to it doesn't talk
correctly to the black and is all about trying to
(24:46):
you know, pull back and de escalate. We know that
President Biden for many, many months has been trying to
work out a diplomatic solution for the northern border. Almost
hooks seen, his special envoy has been here time and
time again through this. They're trying to set more or
(25:06):
less the border between Lebanon and Israel. What would then
make it, you know, null and void and you know,
no purpose to have bull of fighters in that region
if you have a border that is pretty much set
and recognized by the international community. So that is what
they're working on. The question is, you know, the time
(25:27):
the clock is ticking. You know, we all talks Safire,
talks for Gaza. The more pressure builds up on the
northern border, and you know that's a dangerous situation.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
ABC News correspondent Jordana Miller with all the latest live
from Israel. Jordana always appreciate the time in the insight.
Thanks so much for coming back on.
Speaker 13 (25:49):
Thank you so much, Huckson.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
And I think those comments by the head of Hamas
about the amount of civilian casualties he'd be willing to accept,
you know, two hundred thousand. I think that is very telling,
and just the comments that were reported on in that
Wall Street Journal piece that you know, civilian sacrifices are
necessary sacrifices, that to me, that's not getting the headlines
(26:15):
that it deserves. I mean, it was a report. We
covered it here, I saw a few other outlets covered it.
But you know, if Israel strikes and they take out
you know, a weapons cash and there are some innocent
civilians who are killed in the process, that you know
gets blanket coverage. But the head of Hamas essentially saying
(26:37):
part of the reason we're you know, not really that
interested in negotiating is because we don't really care what
happens to the people in Gaza. In the meantime, it
feels like that should get a whole lot more attention
than what we've seen over the past couple of days.
Still to come this morning, we're gonna have the latest
on the ICE arrests of illegal immigrants with ties to ISIS,
(26:58):
So make sure you stick around for them. I'm Ryan
Gorman with Dann McKay in for Michael del Jorno this week,
and right now, let's get to a trending story.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
You know, I said start at twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
This year it was going to be a big year
for UFOs and aliens, and we keep.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Learning more and more, including this.
Speaker 12 (27:14):
This is ridiculous.
Speaker 8 (27:16):
An unidentified technologically advanced population could be living secretly here
on Earth.
Speaker 12 (27:23):
This claim was made in a new.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
Paper by researchers at Harvard and Montana Technological University. So
they think there are crypto terrestrials that are living among us,
and that that's the explanation for all of the unidentified
and unexplainable observations made around the world. So a few things.
Theories in this paper that a remnant form of ancient
(27:46):
civilization remains here on Earth, that an intelligent species evolved
separately from humans and now stays hidden, That crypto terrestrials
traveled from another time period or planet and now they're
living here. That the unidentify creatures are of supernatural origin,
like earth bound angels. And it also suggests the idea
(28:06):
that crypto terrestrials are living in or under lakes and volcanoes.
They also say that the influx of sightings in particular
areas is due to the entry and exit exit points
for those hidden societies deep.
Speaker 12 (28:20):
In the Earth.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Yeah, that makes sense. No, totally plausible.
Speaker 12 (28:25):
This is absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
There's a show on I think it's Apple TV Sugar.
It's with Colin Farrell and if you watch that show,
it ties into all of this.
Speaker 12 (28:37):
You watch way too much TV. Let me tell it's
not real.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Let me tell you something. They're among us. And you
know who the aliens are. They're the slow left lane drivers.
They're the ones who don't pick up after their dog
when they crap in your yard because they're trying to
see how we react.
Speaker 12 (28:54):
They're testing us, they're trying to get it.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
People like you exactly right. It's all a big tests who.
That's who the aliens are in disguise.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
This is Paul David Patterson down in Toledo District believes
in my morning show It's your Morning Show with Michael.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Jordan, Brian Gorman here with Dana McKay. We've seen some
really alarming incidents take place in New York involving just
blatant anti semitism right out in the open. We played
this for you yesterday. This was an anti Israel protester
saying that he wished Hitler was still around to wipe
(29:33):
out all the Jews, listen to this. I wish Hitler
was still here. He would have wiped all of you out.
(29:54):
That's what he said to Jews who were there in
that area. This was like an event commemorating, memorializing what
happened on October seventh at that music festival. Uh.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
Then we have this incident.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Masked anti Israel protesters took over a New York City
subway car the other day and demanded to know if
there were any Zionists on the train, and then issued
a warning listen to this to get out.
Speaker 15 (30:34):
Okay, no Zis were good?
Speaker 4 (30:39):
I mean, what is going on in this country?
Speaker 9 (30:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (30:41):
And it was a whole subway car full of people
who were all engaged in this. It's not we're not
talking about just a couple a handful of fringe people
like this is a whole group that was doing this.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
And in a lot of instances, you've got these people,
these anti Semitic protesters, because that's what they are. It's
beyond being pro pala Stein or even anti Israel. They're
just anti Semitic protesters. They're wearing masks, and now Jewish
leaders are calling for a New York City mask ban
after all of these protests with mobs hiding their faces,
(31:16):
so they're you know, a lot of them are playing
dress up. It's like they want to be a memorial. Yeah,
which is crazy in and of itself, but like, if
you're going to go out there, the guy who said
I wish Hitler was still here, he didn't have a
mask on, So I'll give him that. Like, we all
know who he is now and hopefully his life has
(31:37):
been turned upside down over the past few days since
that clip went viral. But a lot of these people
are shouting this stuff and doing these Hezbollah and Hamas
chance they're hiding behind masks so well of what they're doing,
they should, but I want to know who exactly they are, right,
And then we've got this story for you. The NYPD
(31:57):
is investigating after the home of the brook Lynn Museum's
Jewish director was defaced.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Here's Lisa g with that report.
Speaker 11 (32:05):
Officials also say the vandals targeted the homes of several
of the museum's Jewish board members. New York City Controller
Brad Lander called the vandals cowards, while Mayor Adams called
the incident a crime. The vandalism comes around two weeks
after anti Israel protesters broke into the museum and clashed
with police. In addition, cops are also investigating vandalism at
(32:27):
the Palestinian Authority building on the Upper East Side Wednesday morning,
where the street was littered with pamphlets and red paint.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
And then and that's got to be really scary for
you know, the director of that museum and the board members.
And then while we're in the northeast, Oh, what is
in the water up there? But when you go to
East Brunswick, New Jersey, you'll find a high school yearbook
that's being updated with professionally corrected pages after omitting a
(32:58):
Jewish student club and sparking a huge controversy. Here Sarah
Lee Kessler with that report.
Speaker 15 (33:04):
The firestorm began last week when the Jewish student union
and members' names were omitted from the East Brunswick High
School yearbook and replaced with a photo of Muslim students.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
It is an anti Semtic act.
Speaker 12 (33:16):
It doesn't imply who did it.
Speaker 15 (33:18):
Mayor Bradcone is demanding answers, saying it's hard to understand
how this could have happened by accident.
Speaker 7 (33:24):
I wish people would give us time to investigate not
rush to judgment.
Speaker 15 (33:28):
But school superintendent Victor Veleski told People magazine and initial
investigation shows the yearbook staff never got a photo from
the club or a roster.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
So they never got a photo from the club or
a roster. Wouldn't you ask for it first? And then
if you don't get it, why would you put pictures
of Muslim students in that spot? I don't know, it
seems pretty purpose.
Speaker 12 (33:54):
Yeah, it definitely does.
Speaker 8 (33:56):
You would just probably leave it blank, yeah, instead of
being a picture of Muslim students exactly.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
And then there was this incident during President Biden's speech
on gun control the other day. An anti Israel protester
interrupted it, saying this is genocide.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
This is his response.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
No no, no, no no no no no no no, no.
Speaker 13 (34:23):
No no no.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Surprised he didn't say, well, no, yes to that, yes
to the four more years.
Speaker 13 (34:32):
Folks, Folks, it's okay or.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Gay care.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Innocent children have been lost, they make up.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Cornh not exactly the best response from the president. Look, yes,
he's right, innocent children have been killed, but it's not genocide.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Israel's not committing genocide.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
That that's what he should have said, And then he
should have put the onus back on Hamas and the
leader who openly said.
Speaker 8 (35:00):
Two hundred thousand is there. Yeah, that's how many he's
willing to sacrifice.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
That's the price of doing business. Apparently, according to Hamas.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
