Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey gang, it's me Michael. You can listen to your
morning show live. Make us a part of your morning
routine or your drive to work companion on great stations
like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and fifteen ten
WLAC in Nashville, Tuopulos News and Talk one on one
point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk
six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love to have you
(00:21):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the
podcast Enjoy.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Well two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
In this stigific.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
This is your morning show with Michael Bill joining. We
all get one chance to live Tuesday, July sixteenth, twenty
twenty four. Make the most different.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
I'll make a.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Difference in someone's life, Cherish yours, and we get one
chance to understand it. We're busy doing it on the
Aaron streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This is your
morning show. I'm Michael del Jorona. The ticket set Trump
picked Ohio Senator jd Vance Wise choice Republican delegates formally
nominated the former president. He'll officially accept with his speech
on Thursday, but made a triumphant appearance last night, and
(01:13):
he has one less legal worry with a huge dismissal
of his federal classified documents case. Meanwhile, the Director of
the Secret Service said Saturdays shooting was unacceptable, but is
she going anywhere? No, and she wants to be the
one to investigate it. Meanwhile, Vice President Harris responding to
the announcement of jd Vance calling him to accept a
(01:35):
proposed debate hosted by CBS News, Oh, don't worry, He'll
be there. It's one of the reasons they chose him.
What a day trying to figure out if Chris Walker,
our Republican consultant analyst who is joining us from Milwaukee,
is getting up early this morning or still up from
last night? Which is it? Come clean?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I'm I'm just getting up, but I didn't go to
sleep that long ago.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Pretty remarkable night. I want to I want to talk
about We're gonna do hits and misses in a minute.
But what I see in jd Vance, what I certainly
saw in amber Rose, and what I think I saw
in Sean O'Brien is a messaging that's unfolding and that
is it's okay to have bought into the demonization and
the narratives that Donald Trump is the boogeyman, or to
(02:23):
have hated him as a candidate, but you can't ignore
his presidency and it's okay to come back. That is
brilliant messaging, especially knowing that we're going to be folding
into a new Donald Trump and a message of hope
and unity that for me were the highlights of day one,
even over and above quite frankly, the brilliance of having
(02:44):
him appear after the assassination attempt, and I think JD.
Vance was well received. But this messaging it's okay to
repent about Trump. I think it's pretty smart.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I couldn't agree more, you know, and actually again, good morning, Michael,
good more. You know, I think that you know, with
Advance take in particular, very exciting opportunity, but not only
political as much as it is a legacy thing. You know,
you're talking about someone who has made kind of the
intellectual and long term you know, policy argument for Trump
(03:19):
and the MAGA movement and around the ideas of what
he's espousing. So for him, it's not necessarily solidifying.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Ohio, that's already in the bag.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
You know, the Midwest is certainly important, but I think
the play there as longer. How do you articulate kind
of what his vision is for the country, whether it's
you know, a strong America, what does that mean, what
does that look like?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
How is that.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Continuing over the next twenty years? And I think that's important.
On top of that, though, I think you're right the
messaging of how do who are these people that haven't
been Republicans before traditionally, Why is it that they're more
Republicans in Florida than ever before? Why are there more
Republicans and you know, Arizona than ever before? Like what's happening?
And who are the faces they're doing that. It's a
very important and interesting message, and I think work well lost.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Last time I got there's so much on JD Vance.
But you know, the Teamsters speech, I mean the symbolism
that the Democrats are no longer the party of the
working blue class man and woman, that they're now a
party of Hollywood and elites. That is a major shift.
And again, this election is going to be decided not
(04:23):
by partisan typical GOP voters, but by independent and those
who are driven by the failed policies of the left
to support the right. Let's go to JD Vance. I'm
gonna ask it to you this way, and it's a softball.
How do you go from Carlingham Hitler being i mean
(04:47):
an eloquent spokesperson for the anything but Trump crowd never
trumpers to being on the vice presidential ticket. Moreover, what
does it say about Donald Trump that somebody was a
never trumper and said such awful things about him would
be his nominee? Because this is going to be perceived
by the left as their big opportunity and weakness. And
(05:10):
I think they're playing right into their hands because it's
the strength of the message and the choice.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Absolutely, And I think that's that's a fantastic point. And
he's even said so himself. I mean he talked about
when a lot of those things that he tweeted out.
You know, he's only thirty nine today. He was thirty
when that happened, and I mean that's not you know,
necessarily an excuse per se. But you know, he's like,
I've grown up a lot since then. I was I
was lied to and I listened to some really wrong
(05:35):
people about some stuff, and you know, he not necessarily
needed to do a mea culpa, but he basically said
I was I was not. I've grown up since then,
I've had kids, I've had a fam I have a family.
I see the importance of all of this, and you know,
being wrong about something. He was basically admitting that. And
so you know, the Democrats and you know the liberals
(05:55):
in the media, but I repeat myself, you know, will
try to make hay out of that in the sense
of trying to play gotcha when they don't realize that
that is an old playbook that is completely worn out.
I mean, it has been set over and over again.
I think you said, really well, that is exactly the
message that they want to have. This is this is
something you can have an opinion on it, but it
can change. And that's certainly, you know, a great take
(06:18):
and why you know, I think it's over the long
haul going to be really well received. The only people
who seem to be against this are you know, kind
of chamber US chamber Republicans, and they still have a
place in the Republican Party too. But you know, let's
be honest, there's there's a small limited number of people
in the c suite of businesses. There are an infinitely
more large number of the blue collar workers in the
businesses themselves, and that's where Trump and now dating Vans
(06:40):
are also speaking to.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Well, that's an interesting point because between Sean O'Brien of
the Teamsters Union and the choice of JD Vance rough
Night for the Chamber. But anyway, I have I have.
I have two observations and one suspicion. Observation number one,
jd Vance symbol that Donald Trump feels like it's his
(07:02):
race to win easy and that he is going to
protect trump Ism for years to come. Also that the
election is going to be decided in Michigan, Wisconsin. I'd
throw in Minnesota as well as just next door to Ohio, Pennsylvania.
And if Donald Trump can win Pennsylvania, Michigan, in Wisconsin,
he's the next president. So it's a russ Belt play
(07:25):
and this is the right eloquent guy to go prosecute
the case there. So Donald Trump maybe has the luxury
of going other places. My suspicion is Donald Trump Junior
was the tiebreaker on this and negotiate Advance over Marco Rubio.
In fact, I'd go so far to say, with nothing
to base it on I think Donald Trump was leaning
towards Marco Rubio, and I think Junior talked him into
(07:46):
jd Vance.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
What do you think, Well, I have some been side
scoop from my little time up here in Milwaukee.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
For that.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
A good friend of mine on the Trump campaign was
telling me a story about how Trump was thinking about Bergham,
and Don Junior shared with them a story that was
written that Carl Rove had endorsed Berghen for VP as
a way of saying, hey, you know, this is the
insider candidate, this is the legacy candidate, and who people
on the legacy side are for. And you know, Don Junior,
(08:17):
to his credit, kind of put that out there and said, look,
this isn't who you are or what you want what
you want to be about, and kind of change changed
course on that. Not necessarily that it was a done deal,
but you know it was. It was an important piece,
and it clearly showed that Don Junior, you know, certainly
is understanding the politics of the moment within his own
family and certainly within the party. But in addition, I
(08:38):
would tell you, you know, I was I was touched watching
him yesterday. You know, your father is almost killed two
days earlier, and you know, beaming with pride to see
kind of the person that he's been pushing for. I
think he sees this not only as as winning an
election in twenty twenty four, but you know, winning a
movement and in a way thought for the next twenty years.
(09:01):
And I think that's a big piece of what can
potentially happen. Yes.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Jd Vance a really nice moment when the Trump children
who were in the Florida delegation to put their father
over the top with the nomination, Chris Walker joining us
from Milwaukee in the Republican convention. He's a consultant analyst.
I think the future of trump Ism is Donald Trump Junior.
And I think JD Vance, you know, I have a
colleague and a White House correspondent, John Decker, who really
(09:27):
thought Donald Trump Junior was going to be the VP. Choice.
This is as close as you can get, and it
opens the door for Donald Trump Junior in the future.
And I also think the rust belt appeal and really
securing Pennsylvania is the role and the wisdom and the
choice in JD. Vance. And he is a great story
and he folds nicely into this story that it's okay
(09:49):
to have been wrong about Trump in the past, but
be right about what's right for America now. And I
think while the left might be chomping at the bit
thinking this is an open window, they're walking right into
a trap. Huge law fair, law fair failure with the
UH the dismissal of the Federal Classified documents case. They've
(10:10):
tried to mock him, assassinate his character, tie him up
in court, get him removed so that he wouldn't have
to be faced in a general election, even had to
survive an assassination. And none of it's worked. In the
document's case, although it'll be appealed, doesn't seem to be
working either.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I mean, in a way I it just it's Tucker,
I think said yesterday at one of the events, you know,
has there ever been a time where where just things
continue to align and the fact that it just seems
like Trump's gonna run away with this thing, whether it
was the debate performance from a couple of weeks ago
to you know, the gussiest and most you know, aside
(10:54):
from Bush on the you know, at the Twin Towers,
you know, just seeing something down and then the.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Iconic moment fists in the air blood across his face. No,
there's no other way to put it.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, and you know that's that's all coming together. And
now you have court cases being thrown out because they're
politically motivated in charge. It's anment. It's amazing moments. See
the kind of the pieces being aligned for you know,
a Trump term. I mean obviously now and we were
talking about this at the Tennessee event last night. You know,
(11:25):
no restling on laurels and no complacency here. It might
feel that way, but we still figured our friends, neighbors, family,
enemies even to go out and vote, because that's that's
the most important point. It cannot be something like twenty twenty,
where you know it all of a sudden becomes you know,
in question. This has to be an overwhelming number of support.
And that's what I think folks here are being in
walk here, fired up to do.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Closing moments of Chris Walker from Milwaukee in the Republican Convention,
Hits and misses. The hits were clear. JD. Vance was
a hit. Donald Trump not speaking but appearing huge shit.
I thought Amber Rose and the Everyday American segment a
huge shit, literally explaining why she believed the narratives and
demonizations about Trump, hated him, her father challenged her. She
(12:10):
did research, and now she supports the president and also
reaches young voters. And Shawn O'Brien, the Teamsters Union president,
that was a damning moment for the working class, exit
from the Democrat Party and a potential entrance into the
Republican Party. Those are the great moments, Katie Britt. I mean,
that was a disaster response to the state of the union.
(12:30):
They buried her in the first night. Marjorie Taylor Green
CNN highlighted it, of course, but they buried her in
the first night. Christy I shot my puppy. Nome buried
her in the first night. Charlie Kirk buried him in
the first night. Certainly, no one will remember any of
them compared to Trump, jd Vance, Amber Rose, Shaan O'Brien,
Tim Scott, and others. Those are my hits and misses.
(12:53):
Your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I mean, I think that's a really good analysis. I
have one piece of it to I mean, think about
the timing of it, right. All of the ones that
you said were hits were in prime time. I thought
teams the teams as president was particularly powerful because you
know again, it's just it's a it's a it's a
signal to Democrats like hey, wake up, and you know,
(13:18):
obviously I would love for them to stay asleep. And
you know, Coast Coast walked to h you know, victory
here in November. But in the same token, you know,
it was really powerful. But all the ones that you're
talking about that are missus were all early in the
evening and you know, kind of like overlapped with table
talking heads talking about their speeches and not necessarily listen
to themselves. So I think from that standpoint that you know,
(13:39):
even the missus are somewhat of a miss because yeah,
I think you were. You said it really well that
they were.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
They were basically varied. Well, I will say this, you know,
it's tired of top Donald Trump surviving an assassination attempt
and physically being there with a bandage. Ona is here.
The JD vance was very well accepted. But those were
Republican moments. The moment that probably made the left go
oh crap the most was Amber Rose and Sean O'Brien.
I guarantee it that was an oh crap moment. They
(14:03):
were actually the highlight of Night one as far as
determining the outcome of the election.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
And you and I are talking about her the next morning.
I'd never heard her before and never seen her before,
never done it before, which goes to show you, you know,
there's a smart play being done here, like how are
young people getting their information from her? Being from her?
Speaker 1 (14:24):
And that was an that was an old crap message
last night, Yeah, that was that was Oh my message
when she told the personal story about her father and
why she hated Trump, and he challenged her, and then
she did research and then came back after her research
and explained it this way.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
My message tonight comes from a humble place. The left
told me to hate Trump and even worse, to hate
the other side, the people who support him. When you
cut through the lies, you realize the truth. American families
were better when Donald Trump was president.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
The others were great emotional moments. That one votes huge moment.
More with Chris Walker tomorrow in his normal time splot
timeslot of seven oh five, which will give you one
more hour of sleep. You'll probably use it to stay
up one hour later. Chris, thanks for your insights this morning.
Oh wait a minute, listen closely. You're getting sleepy. You
(15:18):
can go to sleep. Now take another nap and behave yourself.
They need plenty of cheese. This is your morning show
with Michael Del Tuna. If you missed any of the
convention last night. Our job is very simple. Play you
the highlights, give you the honest take, and let you decide.
We don't tell you how to think, but we're going
to give you a lot to think about. And what
(15:39):
a night it was in Milwaukee for Night one of
the Republican Convention made plenty of headlines in the first day,
starting with former President Donald Trump picking Ohio Senator JD.
Vance as his running mate, and it was made official
on the convention floor.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
It is therefore my honor to nominate Ohio Senator JD.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Vance for the off a.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Vice president of the United States of America.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Meanwhile, Donald Trump won the Republican Party nomination for president.
His own children and representing the delegates of Florida put
him over the top. He'll officially accept the nomination in
a speech Thursday night, but made a triumphant early visit
to the convention floor on Night one. Rob Dawson begins
our team coverage.
Speaker 8 (16:20):
The Republican nominee in twenty twenty four, has made an
appearance into the five Serve Forum, lifting his fists up
and now the chance of fight, fight, fight, as everyone
looks towards the former president and shouts those words, those
same words that.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Trump under the Republican National Convention Monday evening to a
live performance of League Greenwood's Gone Bless the USA in
widespread applause from the crowd. The crowd also chanted fight, Fight,
Fight as Trump appeared in the arena and took a
seat in the VIP box alongside his running made Ohio
Senator JD. Vance, his sons Donald Trump Junior and Eric Trump,
and House speaker Mike Johnson. He was sporting a bandage
(16:59):
on his ear where he with the bullet. Trump on
Monday officially secured the GOP nomination for president.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I'm Marknefield. Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show can be
heard on great radio stations across the country, like News
Talk ninety two point one and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee,
or thirteen hundred the Patriot Telsa A Talk six fifty
KSTE in Sacramento, California. We invite you to listen live
while you're getting ready in the morning. It that take
us along for the drive to work, but as we
(17:25):
always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining us
for the podcast. Was Night one the Republican National Convention
in Milwaukee last night. We have all the highlights for
you waking up this morning and the people to analyze it.
We're going to get some words from Lieutenant Colonel James
Carafano next hour, White House correspondent John Decker. This hour,
we'll visit with Rory O'Neil, who's in Milwaukee at the convention.
(17:45):
The ticket is set is going to be jd Vance.
I think what jd Vance brings as a great life
story and a life story that folds nicely into a
brilliant strategy, which is to tell not Republicans who are
already supporting Donald Try, but those on the fence, those
who would have bought the narratives and the demonizations, that
(18:09):
it's not about personality, politics or narratives. It's about economic realities.
That's what you'll get from his life story. He'll bell
the energy, which, by the way, can you imagine how
many people are going to be watching that on Netflix?
A Ron Howard directed movie from his book where the
pivotal role of his grandmother is played by Meryl Street.
(18:33):
Terrific movie and I'll bet you a lot of people
are gonna want that's gonna fly up the Netflix charts.
But he thank you for the Netflix sound effect. He's
a wise choice to address Michigan. I believe Minnesota as well,
but Michigan, Wisconsin and his neighboring state of Pennsylvania appeal
and make the case of the Roust Belt and secure
(18:55):
the Rost Belt for Trump, like in the twenty sixteen map.
That's goal one message of his life. And I think
the real brilliance here. The left probably thinks this is
the open door. This is a guy that called Trump Hitler,
this is the never of the never Trumper's and now
he's the vice president and you walk right into the trap.
(19:18):
And what does that say about Donald Trump? His opponents
do everything to take him out. Donald Trump embraced an opponent,
an opponent who will be more than glad to explain
to you how in twenty sixteen he was wrong. I
think it's a brilliant choice and a brilliant strategy. But
we'll get more perspective on that from Rory and others.
(19:41):
Trump has won les legal worry the huge dismissal of
his federal classified document's case. He made an appearance triumphantly
returning to the stage, but did not speak last night. Meanwhile,
Joe Biden admitted he never should have used the word
bulls eye and then later pointed fingers at Donald Trump
and took no responsibility for any of the vitriol in
the Political c conversation of today. Bad day for Joe Biden,
(20:03):
really good day for Donald Trump and the Republicans. And
I thought the best moments. I mean, it's hard to
top Trump's return in Jade Vance's acceptance, but I think
Amber Rose representing one of the everyday Americans reaching young
people with the message I believe the lies in the
narratives about Donald Trump. My father challenged me on it.
I did the research and now I'm supporting Donald Trump.
(20:26):
Or how about Teamster's president Sean O'Brien, the notion that
the Democrats have lost the working class American men and
women and the unions. It's a bad night for Democrats.
It was a really good day for Wall Street based
on the surviving of an assassination attempt. And that's before
what happened last night it was even a good night
(20:48):
for Trump Media. Aaron Reyal is joining us. This is
a tricky stock to analyze in general, right.
Speaker 9 (20:55):
Very very very tricky stock to analyze, and frankly we've
seen is that it is completely untethered to the actual
performance of the company in any way. So if you
look at the company that is Trump Media and Technology Group,
the parent company of Truth Social, it has done very
poorly over the past year. It has actually lost three
(21:19):
hundred million dollars on seven hundred thousand dollars of profit.
Speaker 10 (21:22):
That's not good.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
But it has taken swings much like Donald Trump, and
is tethered to Donald Trump's performance, whether it be personal
or professional and when it comes to his political career.
But following the conviction, just a couple of weeks ago,
it was trading fifty percent lower. Now it's trading thirty
percent higher after the assassination attempt and the probability of
(21:45):
him moving into the White House.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Or can you imagine what the reaction is going to
be now that they have dropped the federal classified documents
case that would add to it. So we talked about
this first at Think weeks and weeks ago we alluded
to it in your earlier visit in the five o'clock hour.
It would have made a lot more sense for you
(22:07):
and me if Donald Trump had started a television network.
I think that's where the void is. And I've always
said this. People view the Fox News as the conservative
news network. It is not. It is an establishment Republican network,
whereas trump Ism is conservative the new Republican policies. You
(22:31):
would think a network where cn NMSNBC, ABCNBCCBS have no
credibility Fox standing alone to try to oppose it, that
that would be a much bigger opening and doable success
than competing in social media, because the hard part about
social media is well, for one, Elon Musk has kind
of answered that fixing Twitter, and you can't really replace
(22:53):
Facebook unless everybody and all their friends go at once.
It's a much more difficult thing. Is there any indication
that that's in the plans?
Speaker 9 (23:02):
So there was, and Devin Noon as the CEO, has
spoken about that, but it seems like it would be
an easier avenue.
Speaker 10 (23:07):
I don't know why it is taking so long.
Speaker 9 (23:10):
There is no clarity on that, and they haven't really
become that forthcoming now. It could have a lot to
do with and I suspect the fact that they don't
have any income. The company isn't making any money. It
lost three hundred million, it made seven hundred thousand. You
can't afford to start a TV network if those are
your numbers. Yes, the stock price is up, but you
can't sell all those shares. Trump's the majority shareholder. They
(23:31):
kind of have their hands tied. They simply don't have
the funding at the moment to launch a TV network
in any earnest capacity.
Speaker 10 (23:39):
But that doesn't mean that it's not coming.
Speaker 9 (23:41):
I also think that, like you said about the social media,
Trump has a niche audience. They've had a really difficult
time true social growing their user base. And when you're
competing against active users on a place like x and
now Elon Musk has his money in his forty five
million a month actually behind Donald Trump for the presidency,
I would imagine Donald Trump will be keen to use
(24:02):
that site.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I piece it together in a different way. If Elon
Musk has forty five million dollars a month for a
new super pac to ensure Donald Trump is president, he
has Twitter, they could do a partnership together and launch
a television network and Oh, by the way, did anybody
suspiciously notice sitting in the family section. When Trump made
his triumphant return, the first person he embraced before he
sat down was Tucker Carlson, who's still out there as
(24:27):
a free agent. You could launch a network with Elon
Musk and Tucker Carlson.
Speaker 10 (24:33):
I mean you could.
Speaker 9 (24:34):
The man has the money for you, but he's a
little bit busy at the moment. Well Trump, and not
that he's going to do it. You're right, Devin, You
make a great point. That could happen.
Speaker 10 (24:43):
I mean, it's all possibility, and there's always someone that
will first.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
He's got to win. If he loses, you don't have
any Trump media, right, right, exactly exactly. So good day
for the Dow, good day for the S and P,
good day for the Nasdaq, and good day for bitcoin
and a really good day for Trump media. That pretty
much summarizes it, right, yep.
Speaker 9 (25:03):
Yeah, markets in general and everything's looking up. Futures are
all up this morning. The implied opens up on every exchange,
the three major.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Indexes all pointing to Donald Trump forty five becoming a
forty seven. Aaron Reyl, great reporting, Thanks for joining us,
all right, it's forty three minutes after the hour. If
you are just waking up, here are your top five
stories of the day, even though I think you know
what they are. Well, it was plenty of headlines. Let's
(25:33):
just say for the first day of the Republican Convention,
former President Donald Trump made his selection for a running mate, JD. Vance,
the Senator from Ohio, and he was officially nominated on
the convention floor.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
It is therefore my honor to nominate Ohio Senator JD.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Vance for the office.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
Of Vice President of the United States of America.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Meanwhile, Trump won the Republican Party's nomination. His children with
the Florida delegation put him over the top. He'll officially
accept the nomination in a speech on Thursday night, but
made a triumphant early visit to the convention floor last night.
Rob Dawson begins our team coverage.
Speaker 8 (26:11):
The Republican nominee in twenty twenty four has made an
appearance into the Pive Serve forum, lifting his fists up
and now the chance of fight, fight, fight, as everyone
looks towards the former president and shouts those words, those
same words that Trump shouted after he was shot on
(26:32):
Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania. His ear is covered with a
bandage and he's looking on with his family and his
newly minted vice presidential running mates J D.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Evans.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Trump entered the Republican National Convention Monday evening to a
live performance of League Greenwood's Gone Bless the USA in
widespread applause from the crowd. The crowd also chanted fight, Fight,
Fight as Trump appeared in the arena and took a
seat in the VIP box alongside his running mate Ohio
Senator JD. Vance, his sons Donald Trump Junior and Eric Trump,
and House speaker Mike Johnson. He was sporting on bandage
(27:06):
on his ear where he was hit with a bullet.
Trump on Monday officially secured the GOP nomination for president.
I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
It was a flawless messaged opening day of the convention.
There were some really big hits. We mentioned the Trump return, JD. Vance,
Amber Rose, Tim Scott's, Sean O'Brien from the teamsters. I
would have orchestrated one thing differently. I wouldn't have allowed
(27:33):
you to see Donald Trump on the big screen in
the concourse ahead of time. I would either either had
Lee Greenwood sing his song and then have Donald Trump
come on stage with JD. Vance. It all seemed to
play far more electric in person than it did on television.
That's me Jeffrey, my producer. He wanted to see Donald
(27:54):
Trump come out to a very specific song. That would
have been greatest moment I ever right. And then my
friend Pete Cristiana says, should have bet a red, white,
and blue or American flag pats over here, but that
might have been too much. Coming out throwing in those
punches like he does at the MMA fights would have
been I think Amber Rose talking to young people about
(28:16):
buying the narratives that Trump is evil, being challenged by
her father and then saying it's not about Trump, it's
about us. It's about the economy, and it's about the future.
And I think Sean O'Brien representing that the Democrats are
losing the working class men and women of America. Those
were the big oh crap moments. Joe Biden had one
of his own no reference to Friday with forty five.
(28:39):
He admitted that he shouldn't have used the word bullseye
when discussing Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Over the mistake to use I didn't say crosshairs, I've
been bulls on then focus.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
On him while initially saying it was a mistake to
use the word, then he went on to say he
doesn't engage in that type of rhetoric, and then accused
Trump of questionable language in essence breaking the pledge of
unity and lowering the tone. He was the first to,
I guess blame Donald Trump for the rhetoric that led
to his own assassination attempt. And it shouldn't have taken
(29:11):
a near miss of a former president to do the
right thing. But the Secret Service is finally going to
give presidential candidate RFK Junior protection. Mark Mayfield has that story.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Majorcis said President Biden directed him
to work with the Secret Service to provide Kennedy protection.
Biden's order came two days after an assassination attempt on
former President Trump. In a post on ex Kennedy thanks
Biden for granting him Secret Service protection. The candidate has
been asking for Secret Service protection for months, given that
Kennedy's father, Senator Robert F. Kennedy and uncle President John F.
(29:47):
Kennedy were both assassinated. I'm Mark Mayfield speaking.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Of Secret Service, Kimberly Cheadle, who is the director of
the Secret Service, sat down with ABC says the buck
stops with her, but she's not going anywhere, and the
same person who botched it wants to investigate it. Not
sure that's a good idea. The worst moment. She said
that reports about the shooter being spotted before the incident
happened was a very short period of time. Really. The
(30:15):
shooter attempted to assassinate President Trump was reportedly spotted by
law enforcement almost a half hour before shots were fired.
Brian Shook as more.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
That's according to WPXI Channel eleven News in Pennsylvania, which
cited multiple law enforcement sources. The outlet says a source
confirmed one of Beaver County's team of snipers and spotters
saw a suspicious man on the roof at about five
forty five pm local time, took a picture and called
it in. Channel eleven said it's not clear if Thomas
(30:45):
Crooks had a gun with him when he was first spotted.
Twenty six minutes after the picture was taken, shots rang out,
killing one rally attendee and injuring Trump. I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Taoscar Hernandez is the twenty twenty four Major League Baseball
Home Run Derby champion. The Dodger Slugger with fourteen home runs,
defeated Royal shortstop Bobby Witt Junior in the final round
in Arlington.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
I'm Jim Schultz in Tampa and my morning show is
your Morning Show with Michael gil Jornan.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Thanks for waking up with your morning show on the Aaron,
streaming live on your radio app. I am Michael del Chorno.
All right, big night at the convention. The ticket is said,
Donald Trump chose jd Vance. Donald Trump himself made a
triumphant return. Big night with everyday Americans for a grand finale,
especially Amber Rose's message, which I think is brilliant. More
(31:37):
on that in a moment. And then John O'Brien, president
of the Teamsters Union, making a big speech as well.
Roy o'neils ben and Milwaukee this week to cover the convention.
Rory the triumphant return for Trump. I didn't like how
they showed him on the screen beforehand. Then there was
this song and then it comes out in the middle
of the song. You know it could have but I
think it played very well in person.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
It was a little ww feeling. But yeah, no, that
really set the crowd off when he showed up. You know,
there was reports all day that Trump was going to
be there last night, but you never know what's going
to happen or what he was going to do. Would
he speak, but instead he sat in that box essentially
alongside his sons. I saw Tucker Carlson there, Congressman Byron
(32:21):
Donald's from southwest Florida, and of course JD. Vance, the
man he just picked to be his number two on
the ticket, and pretty much broad praise from the delegates.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
I've seen interesting that Tucker Carlson was in the family
section when Donald Trump appeared at that moment, you wonder
if that means there's a position for him in this
cabinet if Donald Trump should win. Makes you wonder if
maybe there's a television network in the future. I thought
that was interesting. JD. Vance interesting choice.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Well.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
I think he's got a great American story that he
can tell. I think he's got a peel in the
russ Belt. He'll go make the case in Mischion in Wisconsin,
across the border into Pennsylvania, key to a Trump victory.
I suspect that Donald Trump Junior made that tie breaking
final decision for his father because I think it was
really close. Yeah, Axios did a bit of a deep dive.
(33:16):
They said that it was JD.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Vance who helped to coordinate that event in East Palestine,
Ohio after the train derailment. Remember Donald Trump went there
before Joe Biden did like two years before. But it
was that event that really was the big marker in
the relationship between or among Trump and Vance. So that's
(33:40):
what changed things really and set them off on this
different kind of trajectory.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Well, the Left is going to jump on this thinking
they've got an opening. Here's a guy that called Trump Hitler,
here's a guy that was the never of never Trumper's
and now he's on the ticket. But that plays right
into the Republican's hands. And I think the key message
it came out, especially during the everyday American set, which
is it's okay if you bought the narratives of the
boogeyman in the past and you hate Donald Trump, but
(34:06):
this is about America. It's about the policies and the
president's policies that worked and will work again. And I
think JD. Vance plays into that story as well. Yeah,
I think he can.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
Obviously, the Democrats are going to run those old video
clips over and over again. But at the end of
the day, you know, VP pick doesn't sway a whole
lot of votes. You know, that's not why people get
out and vote. Although, as you said, he might be
able to motivate some turnout in some of those Rust
belt states, but that's typically not People vote the top
of the ticket, and I think this is more about
(34:37):
twenty twenty eight. My very first reaction was, Oohance versus
DeSantis in twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
with Michaelville showing up.
Hey gang, it's me Michael. You can listen to your
morning show live. Make us a part of your morning
routine or your drive to work companion on great stations
like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and fifteen ten
WLAC in Nashville, Tuopulos News and Talk one on one
point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk
six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love to have you
(00:21):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the
podcast Enjoy.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Well two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
In this stigific.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
This is your morning show with Michael Bill joining. We
all get one chance to live Tuesday, July sixteenth, twenty
twenty four. Make the most different.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
I'll make a.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Difference in someone's life, Cherish yours, and we get one
chance to understand it. We're busy doing it on the
Aaron streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This is your
morning show. I'm Michael del Jorona. The ticket set Trump
picked Ohio Senator jd Vance Wise choice Republican delegates formally
nominated the former president. He'll officially accept with his speech
on Thursday, but made a triumphant appearance last night, and
(01:13):
he has one less legal worry with a huge dismissal
of his federal classified documents case. Meanwhile, the Director of
the Secret Service said Saturdays shooting was unacceptable, but is
she going anywhere? No, and she wants to be the
one to investigate it. Meanwhile, Vice President Harris responding to
the announcement of jd Vance calling him to accept a
(01:35):
proposed debate hosted by CBS News, Oh, don't worry, He'll
be there. It's one of the reasons they chose him.
What a day trying to figure out if Chris Walker,
our Republican consultant analyst who is joining us from Milwaukee,
is getting up early this morning or still up from
last night? Which is it? Come clean?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I'm I'm just getting up, but I didn't go to
sleep that long ago.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Pretty remarkable night. I want to I want to talk
about We're gonna do hits and misses in a minute.
But what I see in jd Vance, what I certainly
saw in amber Rose, and what I think I saw
in Sean O'Brien is a messaging that's unfolding and that
is it's okay to have bought into the demonization and
the narratives that Donald Trump is the boogeyman, or to
(02:23):
have hated him as a candidate, but you can't ignore
his presidency and it's okay to come back. That is
brilliant messaging, especially knowing that we're going to be folding
into a new Donald Trump and a message of hope
and unity that for me were the highlights of day one,
even over and above quite frankly, the brilliance of having
(02:44):
him appear after the assassination attempt, and I think JD.
Vance was well received. But this messaging it's okay to
repent about Trump. I think it's pretty smart.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I couldn't agree more, you know, and actually again, good morning, Michael,
good more. You know, I think that you know, with
Advance take in particular, very exciting opportunity, but not only
political as much as it is a legacy thing. You know,
you're talking about someone who has made kind of the
intellectual and long term you know, policy argument for Trump
(03:19):
and the MAGA movement and around the ideas of what
he's espousing. So for him, it's not necessarily solidifying.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Ohio, that's already in the bag.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
You know, the Midwest is certainly important, but I think
the play there as longer. How do you articulate kind
of what his vision is for the country, whether it's
you know, a strong America, what does that mean, what
does that look like?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
How is that.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Continuing over the next twenty years? And I think that's important.
On top of that, though, I think you're right the
messaging of how do who are these people that haven't
been Republicans before traditionally, Why is it that they're more
Republicans in Florida than ever before? Why are there more
Republicans and you know, Arizona than ever before? Like what's happening?
And who are the faces they're doing that. It's a
very important and interesting message, and I think work well lost.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Last time I got there's so much on JD Vance.
But you know, the Teamsters speech, I mean the symbolism
that the Democrats are no longer the party of the
working blue class man and woman, that they're now a
party of Hollywood and elites. That is a major shift.
And again, this election is going to be decided not
(04:23):
by partisan typical GOP voters, but by independent and those
who are driven by the failed policies of the left
to support the right. Let's go to JD Vance. I'm
gonna ask it to you this way, and it's a softball.
How do you go from Carlingham Hitler being i mean
(04:47):
an eloquent spokesperson for the anything but Trump crowd never
trumpers to being on the vice presidential ticket. Moreover, what
does it say about Donald Trump that somebody was a
never trumper and said such awful things about him would
be his nominee? Because this is going to be perceived
by the left as their big opportunity and weakness. And
(05:10):
I think they're playing right into their hands because it's
the strength of the message and the choice.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Absolutely, And I think that's that's a fantastic point. And
he's even said so himself. I mean he talked about
when a lot of those things that he tweeted out.
You know, he's only thirty nine today. He was thirty
when that happened, and I mean that's not you know,
necessarily an excuse per se. But you know, he's like,
I've grown up a lot since then. I was I
was lied to and I listened to some really wrong
(05:35):
people about some stuff, and you know, he not necessarily
needed to do a mea culpa, but he basically said
I was I was not. I've grown up since then,
I've had kids, I've had a fam I have a family.
I see the importance of all of this, and you know,
being wrong about something. He was basically admitting that. And
so you know, the Democrats and you know the liberals
(05:55):
in the media, but I repeat myself, you know, will
try to make hay out of that in the sense
of trying to play gotcha when they don't realize that
that is an old playbook that is completely worn out.
I mean, it has been set over and over again.
I think you said, really well, that is exactly the
message that they want to have. This is this is
something you can have an opinion on it, but it
can change. And that's certainly, you know, a great take
(06:18):
and why you know, I think it's over the long
haul going to be really well received. The only people
who seem to be against this are you know, kind
of chamber US chamber Republicans, and they still have a
place in the Republican Party too. But you know, let's
be honest, there's there's a small limited number of people
in the c suite of businesses. There are an infinitely
more large number of the blue collar workers in the
businesses themselves, and that's where Trump and now dating Vans
(06:40):
are also speaking to.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Well, that's an interesting point because between Sean O'Brien of
the Teamsters Union and the choice of JD Vance rough
Night for the Chamber. But anyway, I have I have.
I have two observations and one suspicion. Observation number one,
jd Vance symbol that Donald Trump feels like it's his
(07:02):
race to win easy and that he is going to
protect trump Ism for years to come. Also that the
election is going to be decided in Michigan, Wisconsin. I'd
throw in Minnesota as well as just next door to Ohio, Pennsylvania.
And if Donald Trump can win Pennsylvania, Michigan, in Wisconsin,
he's the next president. So it's a russ Belt play
(07:25):
and this is the right eloquent guy to go prosecute
the case there. So Donald Trump maybe has the luxury
of going other places. My suspicion is Donald Trump Junior
was the tiebreaker on this and negotiate Advance over Marco Rubio.
In fact, I'd go so far to say, with nothing
to base it on I think Donald Trump was leaning
towards Marco Rubio, and I think Junior talked him into
(07:46):
jd Vance.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
What do you think, Well, I have some been side
scoop from my little time up here in Milwaukee.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
For that.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
A good friend of mine on the Trump campaign was
telling me a story about how Trump was thinking about Bergham,
and Don Junior shared with them a story that was
written that Carl Rove had endorsed Berghen for VP as
a way of saying, hey, you know, this is the
insider candidate, this is the legacy candidate, and who people
on the legacy side are for. And you know, Don Junior,
(08:17):
to his credit, kind of put that out there and said, look,
this isn't who you are or what you want what
you want to be about, and kind of change changed
course on that. Not necessarily that it was a done deal,
but you know it was. It was an important piece,
and it clearly showed that Don Junior, you know, certainly
is understanding the politics of the moment within his own
family and certainly within the party. But in addition, I
(08:38):
would tell you, you know, I was I was touched watching
him yesterday. You know, your father is almost killed two
days earlier, and you know, beaming with pride to see
kind of the person that he's been pushing for. I
think he sees this not only as as winning an
election in twenty twenty four, but you know, winning a
movement and in a way thought for the next twenty years.
(09:01):
And I think that's a big piece of what can
potentially happen. Yes.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Jd Vance a really nice moment when the Trump children
who were in the Florida delegation to put their father
over the top with the nomination, Chris Walker joining us
from Milwaukee in the Republican convention. He's a consultant analyst.
I think the future of trump Ism is Donald Trump Junior.
And I think JD Vance, you know, I have a
colleague and a White House correspondent, John Decker, who really
(09:27):
thought Donald Trump Junior was going to be the VP. Choice.
This is as close as you can get, and it
opens the door for Donald Trump Junior in the future.
And I also think the rust belt appeal and really
securing Pennsylvania is the role and the wisdom and the
choice in JD. Vance. And he is a great story
and he folds nicely into this story that it's okay
(09:49):
to have been wrong about Trump in the past, but
be right about what's right for America now. And I
think while the left might be chomping at the bit
thinking this is an open window, they're walking right into
a trap. Huge law fair, law fair failure with the
UH the dismissal of the Federal Classified documents case. They've
(10:10):
tried to mock him, assassinate his character, tie him up
in court, get him removed so that he wouldn't have
to be faced in a general election, even had to
survive an assassination. And none of it's worked. In the
document's case, although it'll be appealed, doesn't seem to be
working either.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I mean, in a way I it just it's Tucker,
I think said yesterday at one of the events, you know,
has there ever been a time where where just things
continue to align and the fact that it just seems
like Trump's gonna run away with this thing, whether it
was the debate performance from a couple of weeks ago
to you know, the gussiest and most you know, aside
(10:54):
from Bush on the you know, at the Twin Towers,
you know, just seeing something down and then the.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Iconic moment fists in the air blood across his face. No,
there's no other way to put it.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, and you know that's that's all coming together. And
now you have court cases being thrown out because they're
politically motivated in charge. It's anment. It's amazing moments. See
the kind of the pieces being aligned for you know,
a Trump term. I mean obviously now and we were
talking about this at the Tennessee event last night. You know,
(11:25):
no restling on laurels and no complacency here. It might
feel that way, but we still figured our friends, neighbors, family,
enemies even to go out and vote, because that's that's
the most important point. It cannot be something like twenty twenty,
where you know it all of a sudden becomes you know,
in question. This has to be an overwhelming number of support.
And that's what I think folks here are being in
walk here, fired up to do.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Closing moments of Chris Walker from Milwaukee in the Republican Convention,
Hits and misses. The hits were clear. JD. Vance was
a hit. Donald Trump not speaking but appearing huge shit.
I thought Amber Rose and the Everyday American segment a
huge shit, literally explaining why she believed the narratives and
demonizations about Trump, hated him, her father challenged her. She
(12:10):
did research, and now she supports the president and also
reaches young voters. And Shawn O'Brien, the Teamsters Union president,
that was a damning moment for the working class, exit
from the Democrat Party and a potential entrance into the
Republican Party. Those are the great moments, Katie Britt. I mean,
that was a disaster response to the state of the union.
(12:30):
They buried her in the first night. Marjorie Taylor Green
CNN highlighted it, of course, but they buried her in
the first night. Christy I shot my puppy. Nome buried
her in the first night. Charlie Kirk buried him in
the first night. Certainly, no one will remember any of
them compared to Trump, jd Vance, Amber Rose, Shaan O'Brien,
Tim Scott, and others. Those are my hits and misses.
(12:53):
Your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I mean, I think that's a really good analysis. I
have one piece of it to I mean, think about
the timing of it, right. All of the ones that
you said were hits were in prime time. I thought
teams the teams as president was particularly powerful because you
know again, it's just it's a it's a it's a
signal to Democrats like hey, wake up, and you know,
(13:18):
obviously I would love for them to stay asleep. And
you know, Coast Coast walked to h you know, victory
here in November. But in the same token, you know,
it was really powerful. But all the ones that you're
talking about that are missus were all early in the
evening and you know, kind of like overlapped with table
talking heads talking about their speeches and not necessarily listen
to themselves. So I think from that standpoint that you know,
(13:39):
even the missus are somewhat of a miss because yeah,
I think you were. You said it really well that
they were.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
They were basically varied. Well, I will say this, you know,
it's tired of top Donald Trump surviving an assassination attempt
and physically being there with a bandage. Ona is here.
The JD vance was very well accepted. But those were
Republican moments. The moment that probably made the left go
oh crap the most was Amber Rose and Sean O'Brien.
I guarantee it that was an oh crap moment. They
(14:03):
were actually the highlight of Night one as far as
determining the outcome of the election.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
And you and I are talking about her the next morning.
I'd never heard her before and never seen her before,
never done it before, which goes to show you, you know,
there's a smart play being done here, like how are
young people getting their information from her? Being from her?
Speaker 1 (14:24):
And that was an that was an old crap message
last night, Yeah, that was that was Oh my message
when she told the personal story about her father and
why she hated Trump, and he challenged her, and then
she did research and then came back after her research
and explained it this way.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
My message tonight comes from a humble place. The left
told me to hate Trump and even worse, to hate
the other side, the people who support him. When you
cut through the lies, you realize the truth. American families
were better when Donald Trump was president.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
The others were great emotional moments. That one votes huge moment.
More with Chris Walker tomorrow in his normal time splot
timeslot of seven oh five, which will give you one
more hour of sleep. You'll probably use it to stay
up one hour later. Chris, thanks for your insights this morning.
Oh wait a minute, listen closely. You're getting sleepy. You
(15:18):
can go to sleep. Now take another nap and behave yourself.
They need plenty of cheese. This is your morning show
with Michael Del Tuna. If you missed any of the
convention last night. Our job is very simple. Play you
the highlights, give you the honest take, and let you decide.
We don't tell you how to think, but we're going
to give you a lot to think about. And what
(15:39):
a night it was in Milwaukee for Night one of
the Republican Convention made plenty of headlines in the first day,
starting with former President Donald Trump picking Ohio Senator JD.
Vance as his running mate, and it was made official
on the convention floor.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
It is therefore my honor to nominate Ohio Senator JD.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Vance for the off a.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Vice president of the United States of America.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Meanwhile, Donald Trump won the Republican Party nomination for president.
His own children and representing the delegates of Florida put
him over the top. He'll officially accept the nomination in
a speech Thursday night, but made a triumphant early visit
to the convention floor on Night one. Rob Dawson begins
our team coverage.
Speaker 8 (16:20):
The Republican nominee in twenty twenty four, has made an
appearance into the five Serve Forum, lifting his fists up
and now the chance of fight, fight, fight, as everyone
looks towards the former president and shouts those words, those
same words that.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Trump under the Republican National Convention Monday evening to a
live performance of League Greenwood's Gone Bless the USA in
widespread applause from the crowd. The crowd also chanted fight, Fight,
Fight as Trump appeared in the arena and took a
seat in the VIP box alongside his running made Ohio
Senator JD. Vance, his sons Donald Trump Junior and Eric Trump,
and House speaker Mike Johnson. He was sporting a bandage
(16:59):
on his ear where he with the bullet. Trump on
Monday officially secured the GOP nomination for president.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I'm Marknefield. Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show can be
heard on great radio stations across the country, like News
Talk ninety two point one and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee,
or thirteen hundred the Patriot Telsa A Talk six fifty
KSTE in Sacramento, California. We invite you to listen live
while you're getting ready in the morning. It that take
us along for the drive to work, but as we
(17:25):
always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining us
for the podcast. Was Night one the Republican National Convention
in Milwaukee last night. We have all the highlights for
you waking up this morning and the people to analyze it.
We're going to get some words from Lieutenant Colonel James
Carafano next hour, White House correspondent John Decker. This hour,
we'll visit with Rory O'Neil, who's in Milwaukee at the convention.
(17:45):
The ticket is set is going to be jd Vance.
I think what jd Vance brings as a great life
story and a life story that folds nicely into a
brilliant strategy, which is to tell not Republicans who are
already supporting Donald Try, but those on the fence, those
who would have bought the narratives and the demonizations, that
(18:09):
it's not about personality, politics or narratives. It's about economic realities.
That's what you'll get from his life story. He'll bell
the energy, which, by the way, can you imagine how
many people are going to be watching that on Netflix?
A Ron Howard directed movie from his book where the
pivotal role of his grandmother is played by Meryl Street.
(18:33):
Terrific movie and I'll bet you a lot of people
are gonna want that's gonna fly up the Netflix charts.
But he thank you for the Netflix sound effect. He's
a wise choice to address Michigan. I believe Minnesota as well,
but Michigan, Wisconsin and his neighboring state of Pennsylvania appeal
and make the case of the Roust Belt and secure
(18:55):
the Rost Belt for Trump, like in the twenty sixteen map.
That's goal one message of his life. And I think
the real brilliance here. The left probably thinks this is
the open door. This is a guy that called Trump Hitler,
this is the never of the never Trumper's and now
he's the vice president and you walk right into the trap.
(19:18):
And what does that say about Donald Trump? His opponents
do everything to take him out. Donald Trump embraced an opponent,
an opponent who will be more than glad to explain
to you how in twenty sixteen he was wrong. I
think it's a brilliant choice and a brilliant strategy. But
we'll get more perspective on that from Rory and others.
(19:41):
Trump has won les legal worry the huge dismissal of
his federal classified document's case. He made an appearance triumphantly
returning to the stage, but did not speak last night. Meanwhile,
Joe Biden admitted he never should have used the word
bulls eye and then later pointed fingers at Donald Trump
and took no responsibility for any of the vitriol in
the Political c conversation of today. Bad day for Joe Biden,
(20:03):
really good day for Donald Trump and the Republicans. And
I thought the best moments. I mean, it's hard to
top Trump's return in Jade Vance's acceptance, but I think
Amber Rose representing one of the everyday Americans reaching young
people with the message I believe the lies in the
narratives about Donald Trump. My father challenged me on it.
I did the research and now I'm supporting Donald Trump.
(20:26):
Or how about Teamster's president Sean O'Brien, the notion that
the Democrats have lost the working class American men and
women and the unions. It's a bad night for Democrats.
It was a really good day for Wall Street based
on the surviving of an assassination attempt. And that's before
what happened last night it was even a good night
(20:48):
for Trump Media. Aaron Reyal is joining us. This is
a tricky stock to analyze in general, right.
Speaker 9 (20:55):
Very very very tricky stock to analyze, and frankly we've
seen is that it is completely untethered to the actual
performance of the company in any way. So if you
look at the company that is Trump Media and Technology Group,
the parent company of Truth Social, it has done very
poorly over the past year. It has actually lost three
(21:19):
hundred million dollars on seven hundred thousand dollars of profit.
Speaker 10 (21:22):
That's not good.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
But it has taken swings much like Donald Trump, and
is tethered to Donald Trump's performance, whether it be personal
or professional and when it comes to his political career.
But following the conviction, just a couple of weeks ago,
it was trading fifty percent lower. Now it's trading thirty
percent higher after the assassination attempt and the probability of
(21:45):
him moving into the White House.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Or can you imagine what the reaction is going to
be now that they have dropped the federal classified documents
case that would add to it. So we talked about
this first at Think weeks and weeks ago we alluded
to it in your earlier visit in the five o'clock hour.
It would have made a lot more sense for you
(22:07):
and me if Donald Trump had started a television network.
I think that's where the void is. And I've always
said this. People view the Fox News as the conservative
news network. It is not. It is an establishment Republican network,
whereas trump Ism is conservative the new Republican policies. You
(22:31):
would think a network where cn NMSNBC, ABCNBCCBS have no
credibility Fox standing alone to try to oppose it, that
that would be a much bigger opening and doable success
than competing in social media, because the hard part about
social media is well, for one, Elon Musk has kind
of answered that fixing Twitter, and you can't really replace
(22:53):
Facebook unless everybody and all their friends go at once.
It's a much more difficult thing. Is there any indication
that that's in the plans?
Speaker 9 (23:02):
So there was, and Devin Noon as the CEO, has
spoken about that, but it seems like it would be
an easier avenue.
Speaker 10 (23:07):
I don't know why it is taking so long.
Speaker 9 (23:10):
There is no clarity on that, and they haven't really
become that forthcoming now. It could have a lot to
do with and I suspect the fact that they don't
have any income. The company isn't making any money. It
lost three hundred million, it made seven hundred thousand. You
can't afford to start a TV network if those are
your numbers. Yes, the stock price is up, but you
can't sell all those shares. Trump's the majority shareholder. They
(23:31):
kind of have their hands tied. They simply don't have
the funding at the moment to launch a TV network
in any earnest capacity.
Speaker 10 (23:39):
But that doesn't mean that it's not coming.
Speaker 9 (23:41):
I also think that, like you said about the social media,
Trump has a niche audience. They've had a really difficult
time true social growing their user base. And when you're
competing against active users on a place like x and
now Elon Musk has his money in his forty five
million a month actually behind Donald Trump for the presidency,
I would imagine Donald Trump will be keen to use
(24:02):
that site.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I piece it together in a different way. If Elon
Musk has forty five million dollars a month for a
new super pac to ensure Donald Trump is president, he
has Twitter, they could do a partnership together and launch
a television network and Oh, by the way, did anybody
suspiciously notice sitting in the family section. When Trump made
his triumphant return, the first person he embraced before he
sat down was Tucker Carlson, who's still out there as
(24:27):
a free agent. You could launch a network with Elon
Musk and Tucker Carlson.
Speaker 10 (24:33):
I mean you could.
Speaker 9 (24:34):
The man has the money for you, but he's a
little bit busy at the moment. Well Trump, and not
that he's going to do it. You're right, Devin, You
make a great point. That could happen.
Speaker 10 (24:43):
I mean, it's all possibility, and there's always someone that
will first.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
He's got to win. If he loses, you don't have
any Trump media, right, right, exactly exactly. So good day
for the Dow, good day for the S and P,
good day for the Nasdaq, and good day for bitcoin
and a really good day for Trump media. That pretty
much summarizes it, right, yep.
Speaker 9 (25:03):
Yeah, markets in general and everything's looking up. Futures are
all up this morning. The implied opens up on every exchange,
the three major.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Indexes all pointing to Donald Trump forty five becoming a
forty seven. Aaron Reyl, great reporting, Thanks for joining us,
all right, it's forty three minutes after the hour. If
you are just waking up, here are your top five
stories of the day, even though I think you know
what they are. Well, it was plenty of headlines. Let's
(25:33):
just say for the first day of the Republican Convention,
former President Donald Trump made his selection for a running mate, JD. Vance,
the Senator from Ohio, and he was officially nominated on
the convention floor.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
It is therefore my honor to nominate Ohio Senator JD.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Vance for the office.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
Of Vice President of the United States of America.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Meanwhile, Trump won the Republican Party's nomination. His children with
the Florida delegation put him over the top. He'll officially
accept the nomination in a speech on Thursday night, but
made a triumphant early visit to the convention floor last night.
Rob Dawson begins our team coverage.
Speaker 8 (26:11):
The Republican nominee in twenty twenty four has made an
appearance into the Pive Serve forum, lifting his fists up
and now the chance of fight, fight, fight, as everyone
looks towards the former president and shouts those words, those
same words that Trump shouted after he was shot on
(26:32):
Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania. His ear is covered with a
bandage and he's looking on with his family and his
newly minted vice presidential running mates J D.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Evans.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Trump entered the Republican National Convention Monday evening to a
live performance of League Greenwood's Gone Bless the USA in
widespread applause from the crowd. The crowd also chanted fight, Fight,
Fight as Trump appeared in the arena and took a
seat in the VIP box alongside his running mate Ohio
Senator JD. Vance, his sons Donald Trump Junior and Eric Trump,
and House speaker Mike Johnson. He was sporting on bandage
(27:06):
on his ear where he was hit with a bullet.
Trump on Monday officially secured the GOP nomination for president.
I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
It was a flawless messaged opening day of the convention.
There were some really big hits. We mentioned the Trump return, JD. Vance,
Amber Rose, Tim Scott's, Sean O'Brien from the teamsters. I
would have orchestrated one thing differently. I wouldn't have allowed
(27:33):
you to see Donald Trump on the big screen in
the concourse ahead of time. I would either either had
Lee Greenwood sing his song and then have Donald Trump
come on stage with JD. Vance. It all seemed to
play far more electric in person than it did on television.
That's me Jeffrey, my producer. He wanted to see Donald
(27:54):
Trump come out to a very specific song. That would
have been greatest moment I ever right. And then my
friend Pete Cristiana says, should have bet a red, white,
and blue or American flag pats over here, but that
might have been too much. Coming out throwing in those
punches like he does at the MMA fights would have
been I think Amber Rose talking to young people about
(28:16):
buying the narratives that Trump is evil, being challenged by
her father and then saying it's not about Trump, it's
about us. It's about the economy, and it's about the future.
And I think Sean O'Brien representing that the Democrats are
losing the working class men and women of America. Those
were the big oh crap moments. Joe Biden had one
of his own no reference to Friday with forty five.
(28:39):
He admitted that he shouldn't have used the word bullseye
when discussing Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Over the mistake to use I didn't say crosshairs, I've
been bulls on then focus.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
On him while initially saying it was a mistake to
use the word, then he went on to say he
doesn't engage in that type of rhetoric, and then accused
Trump of questionable language in essence breaking the pledge of
unity and lowering the tone. He was the first to,
I guess blame Donald Trump for the rhetoric that led
to his own assassination attempt. And it shouldn't have taken
(29:11):
a near miss of a former president to do the
right thing. But the Secret Service is finally going to
give presidential candidate RFK Junior protection. Mark Mayfield has that story.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Majorcis said President Biden directed him
to work with the Secret Service to provide Kennedy protection.
Biden's order came two days after an assassination attempt on
former President Trump. In a post on ex Kennedy thanks
Biden for granting him Secret Service protection. The candidate has
been asking for Secret Service protection for months, given that
Kennedy's father, Senator Robert F. Kennedy and uncle President John F.
(29:47):
Kennedy were both assassinated. I'm Mark Mayfield speaking.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Of Secret Service, Kimberly Cheadle, who is the director of
the Secret Service, sat down with ABC says the buck
stops with her, but she's not going anywhere, and the
same person who botched it wants to investigate it. Not
sure that's a good idea. The worst moment. She said
that reports about the shooter being spotted before the incident
happened was a very short period of time. Really. The
(30:15):
shooter attempted to assassinate President Trump was reportedly spotted by
law enforcement almost a half hour before shots were fired.
Brian Shook as more.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
That's according to WPXI Channel eleven News in Pennsylvania, which
cited multiple law enforcement sources. The outlet says a source
confirmed one of Beaver County's team of snipers and spotters
saw a suspicious man on the roof at about five
forty five pm local time, took a picture and called
it in. Channel eleven said it's not clear if Thomas
(30:45):
Crooks had a gun with him when he was first spotted.
Twenty six minutes after the picture was taken, shots rang out,
killing one rally attendee and injuring Trump. I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Taoscar Hernandez is the twenty twenty four Major League Baseball
Home Run Derby champion. The Dodger Slugger with fourteen home runs,
defeated Royal shortstop Bobby Witt Junior in the final round
in Arlington.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
I'm Jim Schultz in Tampa and my morning show is
your Morning Show with Michael gil Jornan.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Thanks for waking up with your morning show on the Aaron,
streaming live on your radio app. I am Michael del Chorno.
All right, big night at the convention. The ticket is said,
Donald Trump chose jd Vance. Donald Trump himself made a
triumphant return. Big night with everyday Americans for a grand finale,
especially Amber Rose's message, which I think is brilliant. More
(31:37):
on that in a moment. And then John O'Brien, president
of the Teamsters Union, making a big speech as well.
Roy o'neils ben and Milwaukee this week to cover the convention.
Rory the triumphant return for Trump. I didn't like how
they showed him on the screen beforehand. Then there was
this song and then it comes out in the middle
of the song. You know it could have but I
think it played very well in person.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
It was a little ww feeling. But yeah, no, that
really set the crowd off when he showed up. You know,
there was reports all day that Trump was going to
be there last night, but you never know what's going
to happen or what he was going to do. Would
he speak, but instead he sat in that box essentially
alongside his sons. I saw Tucker Carlson there, Congressman Byron
(32:21):
Donald's from southwest Florida, and of course JD. Vance, the
man he just picked to be his number two on
the ticket, and pretty much broad praise from the delegates.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
I've seen interesting that Tucker Carlson was in the family
section when Donald Trump appeared at that moment, you wonder
if that means there's a position for him in this
cabinet if Donald Trump should win. Makes you wonder if
maybe there's a television network in the future. I thought
that was interesting. JD. Vance interesting choice.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Well.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
I think he's got a great American story that he
can tell. I think he's got a peel in the
russ Belt. He'll go make the case in Mischion in Wisconsin,
across the border into Pennsylvania, key to a Trump victory.
I suspect that Donald Trump Junior made that tie breaking
final decision for his father because I think it was
really close. Yeah, Axios did a bit of a deep dive.
(33:16):
They said that it was JD.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Vance who helped to coordinate that event in East Palestine,
Ohio after the train derailment. Remember Donald Trump went there
before Joe Biden did like two years before. But it
was that event that really was the big marker in
the relationship between or among Trump and Vance. So that's
(33:40):
what changed things really and set them off on this
different kind of trajectory.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Well, the Left is going to jump on this thinking
they've got an opening. Here's a guy that called Trump Hitler,
here's a guy that was the never of never Trumper's
and now he's on the ticket. But that plays right
into the Republican's hands. And I think the key message
it came out, especially during the everyday American set, which
is it's okay if you bought the narratives of the
boogeyman in the past and you hate Donald Trump, but
(34:06):
this is about America. It's about the policies and the
president's policies that worked and will work again. And I
think JD. Vance plays into that story as well. Yeah,
I think he can.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
Obviously, the Democrats are going to run those old video
clips over and over again. But at the end of
the day, you know, VP pick doesn't sway a whole
lot of votes. You know, that's not why people get
out and vote. Although, as you said, he might be
able to motivate some turnout in some of those Rust
belt states, but that's typically not People vote the top
of the ticket, and I think this is more about
(34:37):
twenty twenty eight. My very first reaction was, Oohance versus
DeSantis in twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
with Michaelville showing up.
