Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern in 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 two.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Three starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in the stagific.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell chromo. All right,
I guess I got some.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Kidden good news for you on this Friday, July the twelfth.
I usually keep expecting the Democrats to be smarter, because.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
They usually are.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
They tend to always be four steps ahead of the Republicans.
Republicans are always reacting to something the Democrats did two
cycles ago, and.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
They're onto their new smooth move. After all.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Nobody saw the shadow campaign to save the Democracy in
twenty twenty coming, and so I keep waiting for that,
you know, step ahead of us type stuff to happen.
But it failed miserably with lawfair. I mean, think about
yesterday alone. It was supposed to be the day Donald

(01:18):
Trump was sentenced. Not only will Donald Trump. Was Donald
Trump not sentenced yesterday, he may not ever be sentenced.
In fact, the charges may be dropped. We'll find out
between now and September eighteenth. Lawfair has failed. And while
Trump didn't get sentenced yesterday, I think Joe Biden sentenced

(01:39):
himself to having to drop out of the race. Disastrous
debate not made good by his visit with Stephanopoulos, and
then all the attention on this NATO summit and this
solo news conference at the summit.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Over to the President Ukraine, who has as much courage
as he has determination, Ladies and gentle, I'm a president.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Putin what ray.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
Then during the news conference, I wouldn't have picked Vice
President Trump to be vice president, So I think she
was not qualified to be president.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Let's start there. Let's start there. Anyway, ironic right or
divine intervention? Either way? Could things be going any better
for Donald Trump? Well, let's ask him. It's Friday with
forty five.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
We all say, hey, here's the power because he takes
a shower. Good morning, mister president, Well.

Speaker 5 (02:54):
Good morning to you. You are a wonderful guy. Heard
the writing learned again for today and they look great
they look great. They always look great. Nobody ever gets
better ratings besides me and Pizza Boy. You know that.
And un it's awful day and we're very happy.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
To be here as this.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Pizza Boys really taking off. And now I have listeners
leaving talkback buttons calling me Pizza Boy. I appreciate that.
All right, Well let's start busy. We could things be
going any better for you?

Speaker 5 (03:26):
Well, nothing ever goes nothin could ever be better. I'm
always the greatest. Everything always goes the greatest. Nobody ever
does a better job, you know that. But we've been
doing a wonderful job. We had a great rally in Miami.
You saw Baron, you know, we call him the he's
the next Jedi. You saw that. He got up, he
was waving to people, he was pumping his fists. He

(03:47):
looks big boy trends while he was doing it, and
he was doing a fantastic job. We're very happy to
see the next generation. He looks like he's going to
be the next generation. Nobody's ever going to be better
than me, obviously, but they'll say, like father, like son,
Aaron Trump, you look great, but we're having a fantastic
come you know, we were in a golf cart over

(04:09):
the weekend and we were talking about Kamala Harris. We're
talking about crooked Joe. I called him an old, broken
down pilocrat, because that's what he is. And then we
looked at Kamala Harris and she looks horrible too. Laughing. Kamala,
she's a cackler. You know that, she's like one of
the hyenas from the Lion King. She does.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
When she laughs. Yeah, all right.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
So obviously for Joe Biden, now suddenly everybody sees he's
cognitively impaired. As I have said a million times, if
this is the first anyone's noticing, you haven't been very
honest with yourself, and if this is the first the
media is noticing, they haven't been very honest with all
of us. This is something you saw going into twenty twenty,

(04:53):
let alone today. What do you make of the media
and the Democrats now suddenly seeing it now suddenly panicked.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
Well, they were covering it up, you know, because it
got so bad. He was on the debate stage. It
got so bad. And I called him the Pampers president.
You know, I'm the outlaw president. He's the Pampers president.
We say he is incompetent and incontinent. And I can
tell you on the de bed stage, I started to
smell something, you know, I thought maybe it was an
Eric Swolwell one cheek sneak kind of thing. But I

(05:22):
think he dropped a we call it a deuce. I
think he dropped the deuce on the debt stage and
we kind of smelled it and we had a feeling
that was going to happen. But these are what the
fake news media people do. You know, they cover it up.
You look at Crooked Joe. He's been crazy and crooked
and out to lunch for a very long time. You know,

(05:43):
he talked about in twenty twenty, hairy legs, he talked
about corn pop. He's making up all sorts of things
that Uncle Brosie was eaten by cannibals when everybody knows
he was probably eaten by Stacy Abrams. It's an incredible
thing all of these people are saying, and now they're
kind of coming out, they're finally coming out. It's saying,
I think something's wrong with this guy. There's been something

(06:03):
wrong with this guy for a very long time. This
is a person who has been a sick puppy, and
he's been out to lunch for a very long time.
And we've seen it. You know, he's making up words,
he's making up phrases, he's getting lost, he's waving to
people who aren't there, and he looks horrible on the
world stage. Everybody on the world stage knows that this
guy's a complete and total mess, worse than the mess

(06:25):
that he makes in his diaper. And we've all known it,
we've all seen it, and the media wanted to cover
it up. And if I didn't debate on June twenty seventh,
then that was the greatest debate the world has ever seen.
If I didn't debate, if I didn't debate, they'd still
be covering it up. And it's a disgrace what they're doing.
But I'm happy they're finally talking about it.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
I kind of see it more as a Snuggies than
a Panther's president. But that's just me. Friday's from forty five.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
All right, Well, big Joe has had his big moment
in his big news conference with NATO.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Now is he suddenly presidential or is now that the
reason he needs to go? Will he? You know, look,
at what they say.

Speaker 5 (07:03):
You look at what they say, and you saw Corin
John Pierre, and she has a terrible hairdoo. I can
tell you that. She looks like a rag mop And
I don't know who the hell thought that was a
good idea, but it was a good idea. She looks
like a horrible person. I can tell you that, but
I want to look at this. She also looks like
let's see in the ocean. You know, I'm the greatest

(07:25):
oceanographer the world has ever seen. Marine biology. She looks
like an anemone, you know those things they look like
that she has that. That's what her hair looks like.
But or it also looks like the China virus too,
like all the spikes coming off of the head. I've
never seen anything like it. You see what we're talking about.
You look at it. They're calling it a big boy
press conference, A big boy, they say big boy. And

(07:49):
you know, I never have been referred to as a
big boy. I've been called the biggest boy, the greatest,
but not a big boy. They're referring to him as
a big boy, big boy press conference. She had big
boy diapers. He went from pampers to pull ups, could
you believe that he's saying, I'm a big kid now
he says that he's the poster child for these new diapers.
You know, it depends they call it.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
I thought Chris Christy was Bob's big Boy.

Speaker 5 (08:12):
And I can tell you this. I will tell you this.
Chris Christy is very upset that Crooked Joe is stealing
his nickname because he's the original big boy. And you
look at that. He's a very big guys.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
You never see you never see him in the statue
in the same place at the same time.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
No, you never see that. You never see that. But
Joe Biden, Crooked Joe, he's a big boy now. They
call him a big boy now big boy press conference.
I want to congratulate Joe on finally being potty trained
the second time. He sounds like he's privately being able
to make it into the toilet bowl. Maybe he is,
Maybe he is. If we don't know. We know what
he did with the pulpe and he was rubbing foreheads

(08:48):
with him not too long ago. Well, the Vatican dropping
more to Zeros.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
The Vatican would not confirm or deny that report of
a drop.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
All right, let me work quickly I kind of was
wishing you hadn't brought up the golf thing. Seemed kind
of trivial. And then the more I thought about it,
I bet you if if in the end eighty million
watched the debate, how many you think would watch you
two play golf.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
It would be the greatest and most watched sporting event
in the history of the world, because everybody wants to
watch Crooked Joe hit the ball backwards. You know that
he hits the ball backwards. He's a terrible person, and
he hits it backwards. I've never seen anybody do that before.
But he hit the ball all the way back. I
couldn't believe it. Nobody could believe it. And he says

(09:31):
he has a six handicap. Now I will say this,
he probably has six handicaps something wrong with him. But
I don't think he has a six handicap. You look
at who else has a six handicap, the Great Tiger Woods.
I gave him his name. I thought about a golf
and I gave him his name. We've talked about it.
They hated it. It's not going to work. It's not
going to work. It's not going to work. I said,

(09:52):
you have to be strong and tough, and it has
to be incredible tiger. They said, okay, we're going to
do it. And so he has a handicap. Now, Crooked
Joe does not have a six handicap. He's got six handicaps.
Something that's wrong with him, or since you were wrong
with him, but possibly more. But he's not a six
and you.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Were willing to give him ten strokes aside too.

Speaker 5 (10:12):
We were going to give him all the strokes. You know,
we're going to give him a lot. And he still
wouldn't be able to beat me. And he's not going
to be able to beat me in the election. He
can't beat me on the golf course. He's a horrible person.
And I really want to play golf with him. He
wants me to carry my own bag. You know, here's
the thing. The bag is probably going to carry him.
He can't make it through it. So we'll see what happens.

(10:34):
I hope we could play. I think he's going to
do that.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
All right, here comes the convention your party. First of all,
the voters couldn't be more united behind you, The party
couldn't be more united behind you. I guess the only
unfinished business is your choice as a running mate and
for vice president, and you'd like to do it old
school and do it at the convention.

Speaker 5 (10:56):
Well, I'd love to do that at the convention. We're
going to announce that Snoop to August vice president at
the convention. You know that we do Trump Dog twenty
twenty four. We've been saying that for a long time.
Although if he doesn't want to do it, there's always
pizza Boy. They say it's not delivering, it's tell joor Now.
He's a tremendous person. I have to say that he's
a really great guy, handsome, and I don't want to

(11:16):
be respected and highly rated.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Thank you very much for the handsome part. I have
been waiting to be vetted. It hasn't happened yet. Me
and Nicky haven't been vetted yet. So I don't know
that I'm seriously on the list. I know that you're
interested in And there was some controversy that you don't
like facial hair and would that affect your choice.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Of jd Vance.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
She said no, like a he's like an honest abe
and then you got little Marco. So I guess the
question is is it leaning honest aabe? In Little Marco
or is it Pizza Boy and Snoop Dogg.

Speaker 5 (11:45):
Well, we love Snoop. We love Snoop Dogg. We want
to make thug life great again. You know that he's
the do O Doblg. He's a thug, he's a tremendous
person and he's also an outlawres like me. You know,
they say, who's going to be your Clyde? They say,
Donnie and Clyde. It's incredible, and so we are going
to look for the greatest clide the world has ever seen.
It might be Snoop Dogg. It might be Pizza Boy.

(12:07):
And I hear that. There's all these people who are
calling you Pizza Boy. Now they know a good nickname
when they hear it, and they know when I come
up with one. It's always incredible, highly rated and highly respected.
But we'll see what happens at the convention. If you're
in Milwaukie, we may be able to have a conversation.
Maybe you're on the ticket, maybe you're not. But we'll
see what happens with Snoop. We love Snoop. We love
Abraham Lincoln. You know JD.

Speaker 6 (12:29):
Vinch.

Speaker 5 (12:29):
He's got a beautiful beer. Little Marco. He said that
my hands were small and that something else was small.
But I've never had that issue once in my life,
never had that problem, and everybody knows that. So we'll
see what we do for vice President. But I can
tell you it's not going to be my little dumpling
round the Sanctimonius. It's not going to be the wicked
Witch of the West, Nikki Haley. We call it the

(12:51):
escapade in an escalade, and you know, we're not going
to go down those roads. But it could be you,
it could be Snoop, and it could be some other
great people.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Look at it all right, I wish you would have
gone with chat Champ or Talk Giant, something besides Peteza boy.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
But what are you going to do?

Speaker 5 (13:06):
All right?

Speaker 3 (13:07):
Final question? What do you think? What would you like
the message of your convention to be?

Speaker 5 (13:14):
Well, we have to make America great again. That's number one. Okay,
it has to be great and it has to be
the greatest version of our country the world has ever seen.
But we also want to make America safe again. We
want to make America wealthy again. We want to make
America respected again.

Speaker 7 (13:29):
You know.

Speaker 5 (13:30):
So we have a lot of topics and things that
we want to talk about at the convention. And we
wanted to be fun. We wanted to be positive. We
want to have a great time because you're going to
watch the Democrat convention and there's going to be protests
and riots and a lot of ugly people. We have
beautiful people. They're going to have a lot of ugly people.
They don't even know who their nominee is going to be,

(13:51):
and they know it's going to be me at our convention.
So we wanted to be strong. We wanted to be
off and positive, and we're ready to have a great time.
Not much I can do.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
There, you have it. That's Friday with forty five. He's
the one we all say.

Speaker 6 (14:05):
Heil to.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
Guess he takes his shower. Thank you for your time,
mister President.

Speaker 5 (14:11):
Thank you, God, bless you, God, bless America. We can't
wait to be back.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
How much I can tell you, Donnie and Clyde.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
That's a classic. Another reason to love Friday. Friday with
forty five. Your top five stories of the day are next.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chona.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
This just came in from Michael, who says, Michael, when
you disappeared from the air. The only thing I could
think of was you finally had enough and quit and
moved to that hill in Franklin like you always spoke of.
Jeremiah Johnson enjoyed listening. You keep up the great work. See,
people are still just finding us. Catherine writes Michael. The
problem with Project twenty twenty five is its nine hundred

(14:52):
pages and most people won't even read it. They'll just
take the word of the president in the mainstream media
and not vote for te out of fear. Well, that's
the game they're playing. My problem isn't the nine hundred
pages people won't read. It's the nine hundred pages leaders.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
It won't do.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
We also get talkback buttons. If you're listening on the
iHeartRadio app, there's a microphone. You hit it, you can
leave a message and we can share it with a
class like this.

Speaker 7 (15:18):
The cabinet is not invoking the twenty fifth Amendment. Congress
has not mentioned impeachment in how many months? He can't
stand Obama? But what is the one thing Obama and
the left have that the Biden family cannot resist. Money?
Would anybody be surprised if they just quietly bought him

(15:41):
out rather than.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
Push him out.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
I wouldn't be surprised. Listen, Joe Biden's ambition, his entire life,
and he ran four times, was to be president. It's
kind of tragic then when he finally becomes president and
used as a pond to become president, he's not cognitively.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
Capable of being it or hanging on to it.

Speaker 5 (16:00):
You know.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Obviously George Clooney's wife's got the money. Obviously Barack Obama
and the Obama Foundation has the money, and they met.
Maybe that's what they're up to. Michael Cassner has more.

Speaker 8 (16:09):
The report cites people familiar with the conversation who say
while Obama didn't encourage Clooney to go public with his concerns,
he didn't object to it either. In a New York
Times op ed, Clooney said he recently hosted a fundraiser
for Biden and noted he was not the Joe Biden
of twenty ten or even the Joe Biden of twenty twenty.
He wrote, the Democrats stand to lose the White House,

(16:30):
Senate and House with Biden on the ticket. I'm Michael Casner.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Two big deaths yesterday.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Dave Loggins, singer best known for the seventy smash ship
Please come to Boston.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
People don't know this. He was the composer of Golf'smaster's theme.
Oh Okay.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
He passed away at the age of seventy six, Please
come to Boston. A classic actress Shelley Devall. She was
Olive Oil and Popeye with Robin Williams. Probably best known
for her role in The Shining directed by Stanley Kubrick.
She passed away at the age of seventy five. Birthdays
Olympic gold medalist Christy Yamaguchi fifty three years old Today
LPGA golf champ in b Park thirty six. Hey it's

(17:06):
me Michael. 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. Well, as
you know, the President had a disaster of a debate.
Then he thought he was the first female black vice president.

(17:30):
The Stephanopolis interview That wasn't gonna make good. I doubt
the Lester Holton, the West interview is going to do
any better? And all attention was yesterday NATO summit and
his first solo press conference. Could that send the message
to everybody that the president is cognitively fine and ready
to be president. Well, two big gaffes, one before the

(17:52):
news conference and now I.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
Want to hand it over to the President Ukraine, who
has as much courage as he has determination, Ladies, John, I'm.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
A president putin, and then another during it.

Speaker 4 (18:04):
I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president,
so I think she was not qualified to be president.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
So let's start there. And there was a lot of
sleepy Joe in between. Let me you know for the
longest time.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Now I will say this, nobody really made a big
deal a lot of them being an hour late or
even told us why.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
There was some whispering along the way.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
There was also kind of a moment where he got
real angry talking about children dying of bullets. Leading cause
of death among children are still automobile accidents. But just
probably not the performance he needed to get everybody to
stop calling for him to step aside. John Decker is
our White House correspondent and attorney and follows the president daily.

(18:46):
Is everybody being too rough on him playing the two
gaffs or was there a bar set and he didn't
quite meet it again, Well, you know.

Speaker 6 (18:54):
Look, people have gassed. You spend your career, you spend
your life, you spend your talking for a living. Sometimes,
you know, you make a mistake, not a big deal.
We all make mistakes, but when you have that disastrous
debate performance.

Speaker 5 (19:10):
A few weeks ago, there's extra scrutiny on you.

Speaker 6 (19:13):
So when you make a mistake, it is magnified. And
that's what happened yesterday. I was in that room when
he made that mistake, as it relates to referring to
President Vladimir Zelenski as President Putin, and there was an
audible gap in the room because there were world leaders.
They're cheering them on. They want him to do well.

(19:33):
I think, you know, most people, for the most part,
want our president to do well, and so when that
mistake happened, I think that they felt badly for him.
Number One, he quickly recovered, but it wasn't a good
motive for President Biden yesterday.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
No, And may I also say on your behalf and
my behalf, if you're sitting there when the president's on
rooting against him. There's something wrong with you. We're all
in this together. That's the president of the United States.
You shouldn't be rooting against him, because if you are,
you're rooting against yourself. However, he does appear to have
some cognitive issues. For me, I feel mostly sadness and

(20:11):
then concern for who's really running the country. Bottom line is,
at this point, the only thing that's going to put
people's minds at ease is if the president has a
neurological exam and a cognitive test. And this moment when
push comes to show he's refusing, well.

Speaker 6 (20:30):
That's right, you know, he seems to be. He says,
every day is a cognitive test in terms of me
carrying out my duties as president, my duties as commander
in chief. So no reason for me to do that.
And I think that's pretty clear. He's not calling to
take what you call a cognitive test of some kind,
a neurological test between now and you know, let's say

(20:52):
the presidential election in November. He is not going anywhere.
He made that clear yesterday during that press conference. I
was there for that press conference as well, and you know, look,
at this point there's just this increased scrutiny on President Biden.
What he needed yesterday was a home run. I think
he got a single. You know, he's still in there,

(21:14):
but you know, when you need a home run, that's
not a good thing for President Biden when you're facing
Donald Trump in November.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Yeah, there was a lot of sleeping. The energy was
high at first, and then it fell off. There was
the gaff calling Trump his vice president. I thought this
because you know, I have my mother in law that
is suffering from dementia, vascular dementia, and it's at a
very advanced age, and I.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
See a lot of her in him.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
This was a moment no one talks about John that
I actually found the most concerned going.

Speaker 4 (21:48):
To be going around making the case some the things
that I think we have to finish, and how we
can't afford to lose what we've done or backslide on
rights of liberties, women's rice and that little button man.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Control guns not girls.

Speaker 4 (22:08):
The idea we're sitting around this for comos so good
as well. We're sitting around more children are killed with
it by the bullet in any other cause of death
the United States of America.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah, I mean these kind of mood swings and volume shifts,
the expression. I mean, you know, America is pretty convinced,
all right. So bottom line is they're running out of time.
What could possibly be done? And do we really think
that it's Barack Obama or Nancy Pelosi that can convince him.
I think he's on the way out the door personally.

(22:45):
I just don't know who's going to orchestrate it or
what we'll finally get through to him. He was in
as much denial as every yesterday. I would disagree a
little bit. I don't think his defiance was as great
hero he talked about it. They want to release their delegates,
they can do it, but they won't. If people want
me to step aside, or the poll show that I
will lose, you know, I'll step aside, but it won't,

(23:07):
you know. So I actually saw the I'm not making fun,
honest to god, I'm not. The defiance kind of lessened.
I think the door is open for him. I would
see him stepping aside in days, if not weeks. What
about you, well, I.

Speaker 6 (23:21):
Think you're right. He did leave the door slightly, Ajar.
He did in the sense that he left open the
possibility of delegates at the convention, which take place in
Chicago in mid August, saying you know what, mister president,
we think that there's someone else who's stronger, who can

(23:42):
represent our party as the Democratic presidential nominee in November.
And he said, if that happens, that happens. He said,
that's the democratic process. So that is leaving the door, Ajar.
But the only person who can convince Joe Biden to
step away from his role is the presumptive Democratic numb
and he is Joe Biden. And the only person I

(24:04):
think that would have influence on him in this regard.
Isn't the people that you mentioned Barack Obama or Nancy Pelosi, Jill,
It's Jill Biden. It's right, it's the first lady, and
the first lady right now is all in in terms
of pursuing this run for reelection.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Isn't there something I know you need to run? But
isn't there something tragic about a guy? And I'm just
having a human experience here. I don't make fun, but
here's a guy that wanted to be president in his
entire life. When the game of politics finally arranged to
slip him in, he was too cognitively impaired to do
it at the level he could of earlier or at
this point now the grip to hang on to it.

(24:41):
There is something tragic about that. And I agree with you.
I think it's Jill. It's definitely not Biden. I mean,
it's definitely not Obama. I think Nancy Pelosi has some
influence with him. But it's Jill and Jill alone and
him and him alone. Time will tell what I keep
warrning about nineteen sixty eight. He's had a to Austin
the LBJ library. Could that be where he comes to

(25:03):
the conclusion? Time will tell. Appreciate your reporting as always,
John D. All Right, Michael, have a great weekend. Play
some tennis, all right? Forty four minutes after the hour,
if you're just waking up, I think you know what.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
The top five stories of the day usually get him on.

Speaker 5 (25:22):
Well.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
It was a shaky solo for Biden. In the end,
it could be the end of his road to the
White House. Brian Shook reports.

Speaker 9 (25:28):
Road to the White House twenty twenty four. President Biden
says he's the best qualified candidate for the job during
a rare solo press event that lasted nearly an hour.
Biden said there are other people who could beat Trump, too,
but it's awful hard to start from scratch. Biden said
he needs to engage more with voters.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
Let me see.

Speaker 4 (25:48):
You know, for the longest time, it was, you know,
Biden's not prepared to. Suzis unscripted. Biden's not prepared to
in any way.

Speaker 9 (25:57):
Biden made several mental gaffes, like calling his vice president.
He's facing increasing calls from Democrats to drop his reelection
bid over concerns about his mental fitness. Biden said, I'm
just going to keep moving in Washington. I'm Brian Shook.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
I actually agree with John Decker. I think only Jill
can help him come to this conclusion. I think he
despises Obama to some degree and would resent him. Nancy
Pelosi might have some influence. Here's the bottom line. Obama
and Pelosi met private meetings about the future of Biden's candidacy,
and Mark Mayfield reports with that story.

Speaker 10 (26:33):
CNN reports both Obama and the ex House Speaker have
expressed worries about Biden's mental fitness and how difficult it
will be for him to beat Donald Trump. The meetings
come as sixteen Congressional democrats have called on Biden to
exit the race. CNN reporters spoke with over a dozen
members of Congress and people in touch with Obama and Pelosi,
and many have allegedly said the end of Biden's candidacy

(26:54):
feels clear. The news comes the same day that Biden
spoke at an hour long press conference. I'm Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Meanwhile, Chinese military ships were off our coast of Alaska,
Lisa Taylor reports.

Speaker 11 (27:05):
The US Coast Guard says all four of the ships
were in international waters, but inside the US Exclusive Economic Zone,
which goes out two hundred miles from the shoreline. The
Coastguard says the Chinese vessels claim they were in the
area for freedom of navigation operations.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
I'm Lisa Taylor. Remember the simpler.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
Times Friday, you get off work, you and your wife
go to Blockbuster, maybe a luck out, and get a
new release that somebody left in the return.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
Stack, and then you go home and have a nice evening.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
Boy, times have changed digitally and how we watch movies
and if we even go to the theater anymore. Have
you ever stared at a red box and wondered, who's
still doing that? I think we have our answer. Tammy
Trehilo has more.

Speaker 12 (27:46):
For more than two decades, the company has rented out
DVDs a thousands of kiosks all over the country, but
it appears it's finally given into the digital revolution. Redbox's
parent company, Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, converted it
Chapter eleven bankruptcy case to a Chapter seven liquidation preceding
this week. It means all one thousand workers at Red

(28:07):
Box are expected to be laid off, but it's not
clear what will happen to the over twenty four thousand
red Kiosks. As far back as March or n reports
that some of them were found unplugged with their credit
card readers taped over.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
I'm Tammy trhio.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
I suggested that's where we put all to Kevin Costner,
well the people on the Theaters. Actor Shelley Duvall is
dead at the age of seventy five, most famous as
Olive Oil and Popeye and for her role in The Shining,
directed by Stanley Kubrick.

Speaker 4 (28:34):
He demanded realism, so I had to really cry for
nine months out of the year and one month that
I was in London to do the film.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
According to multiple reports, to All died in her sleep
complications due to diabetes in Banco, Texas. She passed just
four days after her seventy fifth birthday.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
Hey, this is John Watson, My Morning show.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
More than a dozen congressional Democrats are calling on Biden
to drop out of the race. Biden still clinging to
he's the best qualified for the job. And more than
a million customers in Houston are still without power after
Hurricane Beryl swept through the southeast of Texas down Monday.
I don't know where these shows go. Time just flies

(29:17):
our thanks today to Aaron Real, Rory O'Neil, John Decker,
Hans von Spakowsky. And then don't forget Sean Farosch, who
is the voice of our Fridays with forty five. You
can always get him to record a message for someone
who loves Trump at farashmedia dot com.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
But as we say, we give the final story to Rory.
He's a big deal. He's Rory on him and.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
Lost in all of this shuffle with the fall of
Biden is the Republican Convention is next week.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
Nobody's even begun to preview it right.

Speaker 13 (29:47):
I mean, it does seem like no one knows it's
even happening. Of course, this is when we'll find out
who will be Donald Trump's running made. I think that's
the big news story we're waiting for confirmation on. Although
we did get some advance yes, suggestions about what would
be happening.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Is she a clever reference to JD. Vang the beated
Little Abe?

Speaker 13 (30:09):
Well, we did see that Donald Junior is going to
be doing the introduction on Wednesday. We know Don Junior
has been a vocal supporter of putting Vance on the
ticket with his dad and then also the mayor of
East Palestine, Ohio, where that trained derailment happened, also on
the schedule for Wednesday, So leading to a lot of speculation.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yeah, I always stated this way. The Reagan Revolution that
lasted nearly three decades far more influential than the eight
years of Ronald Reagan's presidency. So trump Ism and the
future of trump Ism, I really do think it's in
the hands of Donald Trump Junior. The original Trump was
a lot in the hands of Donald Trump Junior. I know,

(30:50):
John Decker, your colleague and mine, thought for the longest
time Donald Trump Junior would be the choice. I don't
think that's going to pan out, but I do think
the few sure if Trump isn't within the Republican Party
and not make the stake of a mistake of allowing
it to be absorbed the way the Tea Party movement
was is a big part of this decision, and that's
what brings I think Marco Rubio jd Vance more to

(31:13):
the top than even Bergham. But time will tell, and
I think Burgham still the highest on your list, right, Yeah,
he was until I saw that scheduling announcement. I use
a pencil, baby, that's fine. Yeah, well, and I think
that's the way that all the others signs are pointing
as well. But I did tell you that I thought

(31:34):
Rubio was really out there to try to be Secretary
of State. We'll see if that still happens, and I'm
sure Doug Burgham will be just fine. Your pencil is
pointing to Jadie Vance. I presume, yes, yeah, it is.
Now that seems through where we're going, because it depends
on what you want to accomplish. First of all, you
want somebody that's ready to be president. They're a heartbeat
away that's number one. Number two maybe a key state

(31:56):
that would point to, maybe Virginia where it's very close
in ass Up and Youngkin. But you know, if you
really wanted to build on the momentum of the fall
of Biden and connect the dots, this really wasn't a
Biden problem. It's a Democrat Party platform, policy and worldview problem.

(32:16):
Telsey Gabbard would be a wise choice, Sarah Huckabee Sanders,
if you want to unite the party, you know. So,
I guess it just depends on what you prioritize, and
I think in a JD. Vance or a Marco Rubio,
we would get the clear indication Trump is them, is
the priority of Donald Trump, and it's his ticket.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
Both men, though, have been both Rubio and Vance have
been clearly on the record.

Speaker 13 (32:42):
They show the clips all the time saying some pretty
negative things about Donald Trump. So it's also been a
pretty remarkable turn for them. So you wonder, you know,
do they believe it.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
I brought this up and I want to end with
this and I want to get your take on it.
Yesterday was to be the day that the culmination of
all the law fair to bring Donald Trump down before
a general election. Donald Trump was to be sentenced yesterday,
the Supreme Court ruled on immunity. Judge Marshawn delayed the
sentencing to mid September. And that's if it's still necessary.

(33:17):
And Trump, of course, his attorneys were asking the judge
to throw out the guilty verdict. I mean, so much
for the best laid plans of the left And could
things be going on? Are any better for Donald Trump?
Now onto naming the VP, onto the convention, the voice
of the party, the momentum that you need to go
into the general election. There's a lot on the line
and they better realize there's things to execute next week

(33:37):
in the midst of all this.

Speaker 13 (33:39):
Yeah, don't mess it up, is the polite way of
saying it. And now they get to do the VP
announcement on their terms. I think before it would have
been they would have announced it as a way to
pivot away from the sentencing. But now they get to
do this on their own terms. And I think they're
going to lay low again today. Let the Vice President
Trump clip keep playing on repeat for the next forty

(34:00):
hours and be all focused on moving forward next week.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
And that's the final story with Rory. You have a
great weekend. We're all in this together. This is your
Morning Show with Michael Ndel Joano
