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 and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live. But we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast starting your morning off right?
Speaker 2 (00:20):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in the stage.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell join. Just
what are we into? That's the question, right, got a
little weird yesterday six minutes after the hour. Thanks for
waking up with your morning show on the air and
streaming live on your iHeart app. Do you think if
we just refuse to talk, or if we talk slower,
(00:48):
maybe August will go by? Not as fast as jugg Live.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I mean, I said right before we went on the
airm light.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
By the way, it's August. I'm just sure you it
out there. Jeffrey is our calendar watcher sound watcher producer extraordinary. Yes,
it's August. How did that happen? And you realize when
this month ends, I'll be sixty No way, Yeah, I
remember when my grandfather came to visit in Arlington Heights, Illinois,
(01:17):
from Syracuse, New York, and he was sixty five, and
I thought, wow, poppies old. Yeah, he looks so much
older than me. Well, yeah, you've been I had like
the little like the wife beat her undershirt underneath his
crisp stress shirt and tie right slacks, male pattern balding. Yeah,
(01:38):
he talked a lot older, he acted a lot older.
One of the guid impusinitionis I do why me is
my grandfather? And I can't use it because nobody knows
what he sounded like. So how you doing with this
sixty thing? You struggling for it? You don't care. I'm look,
I'm ready for eternity. I'm ready to get this little
side show over the real living, unterrupted living going. All right,
(02:04):
So yesterday, here's the big news one. I'll give you
an example. Headlines today Associated Press Donald Trump falsely suggests
Kamala Harris misled voters about her race. Washington Post Trump
attacks Harris's black identity. Now it makes it sound like
(02:26):
Donald Trump busted in the room and just started Archie
bunkering Kamala Harris, which isn't how it happened first and foremost,
which will demonstrate. Then there's the question, what is Kamala Harris.
That's not debatable, right, a little tricky. Her father's Donald Harris,
(02:53):
Jamaican American Stanford professor. We'll get back to that. Her mother, Chayamala,
is from India. She is a he's a medical scientist.
(03:14):
So two brilliant parents. But all right, let's do the race.
One is from British controlled southern India, the other is Jamaican.
Now we had some people, you know, because with Barack Obama,
it was a little tricky. Barack Obama was fifty percent Caucasian,
yet we know him as the first black president because
(03:34):
of the other fifty percent. Now fifty is fifty, right.
He's mostly Caucasian, he's thirty six percent Arabic, and he's
only about fourteen percent African American. But he identifies as that.
So that's what he is. That's a cultural thing. But
by blood, it's easy to say, oh, he's fifty percent Caucasian,
(03:58):
he's thirty six percent Arabic, he's four teen percent African.
Now when you get to Jamaica, because a lot of
people are saying she's not half black. She's Indian and Jamaican. Yeah,
but ninety two percent of Jamaicans identify as black. Now
you're getting into that what they identify as if you
follow their bloodline, and this is fact, this isn't arguable.
(04:20):
Seventy six point three percent of all Jamaicans are of
African descent, fifteen percent are Afro European, three point four
percent East Indian, one point two percent Caucasian, zero point
eight percent Chinese. That's what they are. But again the
(04:41):
question is what is she and how does she identify?
They're two completely different questions. One is literal, one is cultural,
which makes this all a gray enough area to have
a scrum, if you will. So then you go to
(05:01):
the uh social media and immediately you get all kinds
of posts like here's Kamala Harris on a cooking show.
She certainly is only celebrating the Indian portion of her blood.
She's not identifying as anything else.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
So listen, okay, So what we're going to cook today
is an Indian recipe? Yes, because you are idiot?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, okay, And.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I don't know that everybody knows that, but I find
that wherever I go and I see Indian people at
the supermarket on the street. Everyone's like, you know, Kamala
Har's is Indian, right, it's like our thing. We're so
excited about to have you running for president.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
You know, people have said you're Italian American, right, And
it's never excited me that much. I've never gone into giggling. Well,
she gets giddy about every everything. I guess, So.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
We're both Indian, but actually we're both South Indian.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yes, you look like entire one half of my family. Okay,
thank you. I'm related already.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
So this is perfect.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
It's basically true.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
So obviously she's identifying only as Indians. She doesn't correct her,
she doesn't give props. I mean, I'm one hundred percent Italian.
If I gave all four names, probably be a security
breach and you'd be like, weren't they all in the Godfather? Yes?
All right, so, but so pretty boring. I know what
I am. But if I were half something, I might
(06:31):
correct somebody. I mean, how do you choose one over
the other? I don't know. So here she is is
another one that went Viyra yesterday, her being introduced. This
is when she was running for the Senate.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
It is my true distinct pleasure.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
To introduce the first senator and I'm not going to
say this, the first senator of Indian American heritage and
the history off us Senate.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Okay, So there's this constant references to Indian and Indian only.
That's nothing. That's not even on my radar. I mean,
what they're doing on xer Facebook, I don't care. What
is she? All right? Well, Donald's Jamaican and by blood
(07:29):
that makes some seventy six percent of African descent, maybe
fifteen percent Afro European, three percent Indian, one percent Caucasian.
He's black, Jamaican, Black mother, India, Indian. Then you get
to the White House. Now k JP enters the race
(07:55):
and notice the defense is not what she is, but
rather what she identifies as. That is so appalling. Of course,
you have to sit through the long question. First.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
I can to ask you about something that's happening at
the end of PJA Right now, Donald Trump is speaking
to some of the reporters who are assembled there, and right
out of the gates there was what can best be
described as a contentious exchange where the former.
Speaker 7 (08:26):
President said, I'm asking this through the lens of someone
who represents the president, vice president, not someone who has
to speak as a campaign question. He says of Kamala Harris,
the vice president, she was always of Indian heritage, and
she was only promoting Indian heritage.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I didn't know she was black.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
Until a number of years ago when she happened to
turn black, he said, And now she wants to be
known as black. So I didn't know is she Indian
or is she black? She is always a this is unclear.
I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't because she
was Indian all the way and then all of a sudden,
she made a turn and she went black.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Your assistant make Donald trumpet like a in ignorant neanderthal,
you know, racist. You can even hear Crange Jean Pierre
in the background. Oh this is so appalling. So this
is her big moment, like in volleyball. I mean, it's
just teed up for her. And here's your response response
to those comments.
Speaker 8 (09:20):
Uh, he is a candidate, so I'm going to be
super careful. Wait no, no, no, hold on, hold on.
I have more to say. I certainly have more to
say as a person of color, as a black woman.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
See, this really doesn't matter what you are. Notice in
my entire opening monologue, didn't say, as a white Caucasian
Italian American, what difference is met? What's relevant is Kamala
Harris's father, Donald, Kamala Harris's mother Shayamala, and their bloodline
(09:54):
and their descent, all right, so that we can establish
what they really are in reality. And then we got
to get to our cultural craziness, which is I could
identify as an African American today and that side of
the political spectrum and culture would defend that even though
it's not true. So she starts by telling you what
(10:18):
she is, which has nothing to do with this, as
if she should be more offended by this question mark
than anybody else. But then listen to the defense.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
As a person of color, as a black woman who
is in this position that is standing before you at
this podium, behind this lectern. What he just said, what
you just read out to me is repulsive, it's insulting.
And you know, no one has any right to tell
someone who they are how they identify. That is no
(10:54):
one's right.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
No one has the right to tell you who you
are and how you identify. Well, because that's your defense
cultural identification and not bloodline. Then I go back to
X and Facebook and I say, well, you know what,
all this stuff is reletive.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Okay, So what we're going to cook today is an
Indian recipe?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yes, because you are see. That's the thing. It's the
same thing with sexuality. She may have been identifying as
an India Indian then and now she identifies as black.
But this is what makes it so confusing, which makes
you want to go back to that actual Donald Trump exchange,
(11:39):
which ends up being the only thing that is relevant.
He's at the NABJ and he's ambushed. Not true.
Speaker 9 (11:46):
You have told four congressman women of color who were
American citizens to go back to where they came from.
You have used words like animal and rabbit to describe
black district attorneys. You've attacked black journalists, calling them a loser,
saying the questions that they ask are quote stupid and racist.
You've had dinner with a white supremacist at your marologue resort.
(12:07):
So my question, sir, now that you are asking black
supporters to vote for you, why should black voters trust
you after you have used language like that.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
That's her big Megan Kelly question, Like we didn't live
that the first time even laid out like Megan Kelly
her best Meghan Kelly impersonation. I have a golf clip
if you need it. And Donald Trump's response, I'll admit,
probably priceless for Donald Trump's supporters. But there's a lot
of people in charge of all black news coverage in
(12:41):
that room, and I doubt the answer went over is
great with them throughout the day. But that's an ambush.
That's a ridiculous question. No one will fact check that question.
But here was Donald Trump's response.
Speaker 10 (12:54):
Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been
asked a question so in such a horrorble manner.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
First question, you don't even say, hello, how are you?
Are you with ABC?
Speaker 10 (13:06):
Because I think they're a fake news network, a terrible
net work. And I think it's disgraceful that I came
here in good spirit. I love the black population of
this country. I've done so much for the black population
of this country, including employment, including Opportunity Zones with Senator
(13:30):
Tim Scott of South Carolina, which is one of the
greatest programs ever for black workers and black entrepreneurs.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I've done so much. And you know, and I.
Speaker 10 (13:40):
Say this, Historically, black colleges and universities were out of money.
They were stone call broke, and I saved them and
I gave them long term financing, and nobody else was
doing it. I think it's a very rude introduction. I
don't know exactly why you would do something like that.
To go a step further, I was invited here, and
(14:02):
I was told my opponent, whether it was Biden or Kamala,
I was told my opponent was going to be here.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
It turned out my opponent isn't here.
Speaker 10 (14:12):
You invited me under false pretense, and then you said
you can't do it with zoom.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Well you know where's zoom.
Speaker 10 (14:19):
She's going to do it with zoom and she's not coming,
and then you are half an url a.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Just so we understand, I have too much.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
So that's a real relevant point. You want to know
what candidate cares about the black community. One didn't go.
She is too busy right now riding a high with
her schedule, but she was going to zoom it in
and then they didn't allow it. So the one that
cared enough to come is ambushed by an ABC reporter.
That response flawless. The other one not quite as flawless,
although he didn't say anything really wrong. But what do
(14:45):
you wake up to this morning? Donald Trump falsely suggests
Kamala Harris misled voters. Donald Trump didn't do anything. He
was ambushed with a ridiculous question and then forced to respond.
And it took us sixteen minutes to try to figure
out well, through her father Donald and her mother Shayamala,
here's what she is. But then again that all goes
(15:06):
out the window because look at Karine Jean Pierre's response.
Anybody can identify it anything, and no one has the
right to tell anybody what they identify as. All right,
so today I'm gonna do the rest of the short
the show as a Clydesdale. All right, this is just ridiculous.
But how does it all play out? Does it steal
(15:30):
the momentum? The Democrats got to get back to ninety
two percent of the Black vote and they're sitting at
seventy inherited by Joe Donald Trump. Walk into any trap
that could close that gap. That will talk about a
lot more seriously in our one on one This is
your Morning show with Michael del Jono. Is it.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Football is back?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I know how it works. After the super Bowl, you
kind of mull your way through different sports. You'll watch
it at the basketball, you'll watch it at of hockey,
You'll watch it a little baseball, you'll fall asleep to
it out of golf. But what you're really waiting for
is football season to come again, where they get really
slopper knockery alone. Tonight, Monday Night Football, the Hall of
(16:18):
Fame Game from the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium
in Canton, Ohio. They're gonna be good. You're not gonna
see many of the good players tonight, but the Chicago
Bears and the Houston Texans kick off the NFL season
with the Hall of Fame Game. It always rememberhen you
were a kid in the Hall of Fame game had
always come on in the heat of August. And you're like,
(16:39):
is it almost football season again? Yes? Yes, it is
the best two series of football you've seen this year.
Gotta love a little football. Of course, we got our
eyes all on the Olympics right now. By the way,
I have a Monday Night theme that will not stop.
It will not give way to the Olympic theme. Oh okay,
(17:00):
there it is. I couldn't get it to release. While
you're busy working, I'm already done working so I can
keep an eye on the Olympic Games for you. American
swimmer Katie Ledecki won her record tying eighth gold medal.
I can't even tread water. How's that fair?
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Serious?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
You can't swim. I can swim as long as I'm
going forward. But if I stop, I sing. I don't
know how to tread water. You need arm floaties, I do.
I don't think you can compete in those. Katie can swim,
and she was the big winner in Paris. She won
the gold in the women's fifteen hundred meter freestyle and
broke her own Olympic record in the process. Tory Husky
(17:39):
added her third medal in Paris after winning silver in
the women's one hundred meter freestyle.
Speaker 11 (17:44):
Team.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
USA men's basketball made short of the South Sudean team
one O three eighty six. They're undefeated in advance in
their group. The US women's national soccer team three nothing
over Australia or three and ozer.
Speaker 9 (17:56):
Now.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
After a two to one win over Australia, America will
face Japan and the quarterfinals on Sunday and today women's
gymnastics all around final is going to take place, so
you'll see Simone Biles and Suny Lee competing. By the way,
I don't know if you'd noted, but one of the
former Olympians had wrote a nasty little Mikayla Skinner preview
(18:21):
of this Olympic game, and in it she said, well,
this team really isn't that talented. It's one of the
least talented teams we've sent to the Olympics. Quite frankly,
they're not very hungry. They're kind of lazy. I don't
expect much from them. So when Biles posted her pictures
of all of them with the flag in the comment section,
she went, yeah, just a bunch of lazy, beatiocre. Nothing
(18:41):
like a little locker room noteboard. Yeah there is. Just
to let her know, MICHAELA, wherever you are, we caught
your comment. The US added another four medals on Wednesday.
They continue to sit atop the metal leaderboard at thirty. However,
France is now just four behind with twenty six total medals,
China third with nineteen, the USS five gold, thirteen silver,
(19:03):
twelve bronze. Here at home, of course, we're keeping an
eye on the presidential race. There was a lot of momentum.
I mean think of everything Donald Trump has been through,
from assassination, attempt to drug into courtrooms across to America,
being stuck in a courtroom for pretty much three quarters
(19:27):
of the primary process, and he still secured the nomination early.
Many of the cases have since gone by the wayside,
and the one that got thirty four convictions may not
stand based on a Supreme Court ruling. This guy survived
a lot. I think he can. I mean, frankly, I
think he can survive a little NABJ Black Journalist ambush.
(19:50):
But we kind of dissected for you, are you kidding me?
With a border crisis, fentanyl crisis, debt crisis, inflation crisis,
stagnant wages, generations being locked out of the home ownership dream.
We're going to focus on whether or not Kamala Harris
(20:11):
is Indian or Black. Yeah, and keep in mind where
this all happened, because this was an ambush. I'm beginning
to think the more I see details from what happened
in Pennsylvania that was an ambush. But this was clearly
an ambush. So here is the National Association of Black
(20:35):
Journalists convention in Chicago. The invites go out. Trump responds,
Biden's supposed to be there, then Biden's gone, Harris is
supposed to be there, Then Harris is too busy to
be there, so she wants to zoom it in. That
they won't accept her zoom call, so it ends up
being Donald Trump alone. And then the ambush with an
(20:57):
ABC reporter, and you wonder why Donald Trump doesn't want
a debate on ABC goes like this.
Speaker 9 (21:05):
As one woman of color who were American citizens to
go back to where they came from. You have used
words like animal and rabbit to describe black district attorneys
you've attacked.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
By the way, the animal in the rabbit had nothing
to do with them being black, as much as how
they were attacking him. But so all out of context.
Here's your best, Megan Kelly. Here's the ambush question. Donald
Trump handles this part flawless.
Speaker 9 (21:29):
Black journalists, calling them a loser, saying the questions that
they ask are quote stupid and racist. You've had dinner
with a white supremacists at your marologue resort. So my question, sir,
now that you are asking black supporters to vote for you,
why should black voters trust you after you have used
language like that.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I mean this is this straight out of the Megan
Kelly playbook with the war on women in the first
Fox debate before the twenty sixteen primaries. Why, well, they're
losing a lot of young voters. They've already lost a
(22:09):
lot of Hispanic voters. But really the coup de gras
of their challenge and political death is their Black support
has gone from ninety two percent to seventy And that's
a big problem in Philadelphia, therefore, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 12 (22:24):
Therefore the electoral college map. That's a big problem. In Michigan,
therefore the electoral college map. They have got to turn
things around and get the black vote back. Now, the
problem is the black people are at odds with this administration,
whether it's Kamala Harris who is or is not the czar,
or Joe Biden because of their open borders and purposely
(22:47):
bringing in millions of illegals and giving them the facilities
and resources that were once going to legal black Americans.
That's their problem in Michigan, that's their problem in Chicago,
going to be their problem at the convention, and that's
their problem with the black support and eventually an epiphany
among black voters.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
You know what these people take us for granted, and
they're always promising us the world and they never deliver.
Heck with them, So this ambush is designed to turn
that around. Now, listen, they're not idiots, because you're going
to listen to this. It's going to play one way
with you for a lot of black people, and you'll
(23:26):
hear them in the crowd cheering. It didn't work with
them either, But there's a lot of journalists in there
who will now control the narratives moving forward to the
black community. And this shows that they're united to try
to destroy Trump because their worldview is more important than
their people's livelihoods. So that loaded Megan Kelly despicable question. Well,
(23:54):
Donald Trump's response here would not have produced any of
the headlines today. This was a perfect response if he
would have only left it at this, unclipped his mike
and left. So she gives the big long accusation. Here's
Donald Trump's response.
Speaker 10 (24:13):
Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been
asked a question so in such a horrible manner.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
A first question, you don't even say, hello, how are
you are you? With ABC?
Speaker 10 (24:26):
Because I think they're a fake news network, a terrible network.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Loving it.
Speaker 10 (24:32):
I think it's disgraceful that I came here in good spirit.
I love the black population of this country. I've done
so much for the black population of this country, including employment,
including Opportunity Zones with Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina,
which is one of the greatest programs ever for black
(24:55):
workers and black entrepreneurs.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
I've done so much. And you know when I.
Speaker 10 (25:00):
Say this, Historically black colleges and universities were out of money.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
There were stone call broke, and I say.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
By the way, do you think Kamala Harris or Joe
Biden or any Democrat could go through a laundry list
like that of what they've done, not what they promised
to do now what they claim ownership of cultural correctness of,
but literally doing for they couldn't because they haven't, and
(25:30):
he has, and he did flawless answer going great.
Speaker 10 (25:33):
Gave them and I gave them long term financing and
nobody else was doing it. I think it's a very
rude introduction. I don't know exactly why you would do
something like that. And let me go a step further.
I was invited here and I was told my opponent,
whether it was Biden or Kamala I was told my
opponent was going to be here. It turned out my
(25:55):
opponent isn't here. You invited me under false pretense, and
then you said you can't do it with zoom. Well
you know where's zoom. She's going to do it with
zoom and she's not coming.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
And then you were half an urla.
Speaker 10 (26:08):
Just so we understand, I have too much respect for
you to be late.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
They couldn't get their equipment working or something. I think
it's a very nasty question. I have answered the question.
Speaker 10 (26:19):
I have been the best president for the black population
since Abraham Lincoln.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
That's my answer.
Speaker 11 (26:27):
President Johnson, right ack.
Speaker 10 (26:29):
For you to start off a question and answer period,
especially when you're thirty five minutes late because you couldn't
get your equipment to work in such a hostile manner,
I think it's a disgrace.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I really I agree with them, And quite frankly, if
he would have only just undid his microphone and left
the stage at that point, that's what they deserved. That
was a very Donald Trump two point zero. This part.
This was very Donald Trump one point two. And of
(27:00):
course they controlled the narrative, so they will control. All
they had to do was get him to bite one
of the baits, and they would run with it. This
is what they're going to portray as the bite.
Speaker 9 (27:15):
Some of your own supporters, including Republicans on Capitol Hill,
have labeled Vice President Kamala Harris, who is the first
black and Asian American woman to serve as vice president
and be on a major party ticket, as a DEI hire.
Is that acceptable language to you?
Speaker 1 (27:30):
I don't know. You should actually interview them, is what
he should have said? Why would you take that bait
who said what I'm not aware of what somebody said,
but that's not where he goes.
Speaker 9 (27:42):
Listen, and will you tell those Republicans and those supporters
to stop it?
Speaker 4 (27:46):
How do you how do you define DEEI go ahead?
How do you define diversity?
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Equity inclusion?
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Okay, yeah, go ahead? Is that what your definition? Give
that is? That is?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Give me a definition?
Speaker 4 (27:56):
A definition? Yeah, give me a definition, Sara.
Speaker 9 (27:59):
I'm asking you a question.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
You have to find the define it from.
Speaker 9 (28:03):
I just defined it, sir. Do you believe that Vice
President Kamala Harris is only on the ticket because she
is a black woman?
Speaker 4 (28:08):
Well, I can say no. I think it's maybe a
little bit different.
Speaker 10 (28:11):
So I've known her a long time, indirectly, not directly
very much, and she was always of Indian heritage, and
she was only promoting Indian heritage.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
I didn't know she was black.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Now if you were, if you're just waking up. We
played clips that were viral all over social media yesterday
and they're ridiculous clips. And I normally don't play those
kinds of clips. But if the if the defense from
the White House in Karine Jean Pierre was, how dare
anybody question how someone chooses to identify? So if it
doesn't matter that Donald Harris her father was Jamaican, and
(28:47):
Shahamamalah her mother is Indian, and that seventy six percent
of Jamaicans are of African descent, if none of that matters,
and it just matters what she identify as well, guess
what all those ridiculous clips are. All of it because
up until very recently she only identified as India Indian.
You can tell I lived in Oklahoma that I have
(29:08):
to make that distinction. She never did claim her black heritage,
and now suddenly she is in need a black vote.
He didn't quite explain it that eloquently.
Speaker 10 (29:22):
Listen until a number of years ago when she happened
to turn black, and now she wants to be known
as black.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
So I don't know. Is she Indian or is she black?
She is always.
Speaker 9 (29:34):
College.
Speaker 10 (29:34):
I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't because she
was Indian all the way and then all of a
sudden she made a turn and she went she became
a black.
Speaker 9 (29:43):
Just to be clear, sir, do you.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
See somebody should look into that too?
Speaker 10 (29:47):
When you ask a continue in a very hostile, nasty tone,
it's a direct.
Speaker 9 (29:51):
Question, sir, do you believe that Vice President Kamala Harris
is a DEI higher as somebody.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Who really does out? I mean, I really don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
It's a really dumb question, and he really never answered
the beginning of it. But that response, that's what makes
you wake up with Donald Trump falsely suggests Kamala Harris
misled voters with their race. Associated Press Washington Post, Trump
attacks Harris's black No. A black ABC reporter at a
National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago attacked the
(30:21):
President about other people who have said things about Kamala Harris.
He said, no such thing. This is politics today, and
the fentanyl flows and the invasion continues at the border,
the interest rate holds steady, Americans fall deeper in debt
in a country that's thirty five trillion dollars in debt.
(30:44):
And this is what we're talking about. I'm Lenny McGill
of McGill's world famous Glock Steel and my morning show
is your morning Show with Michael del Jordan. If you're
just waking up, Well, he won't top the ticket, but
he will make the first speech. Joe Biden reportedly to
give the first prime time address to kick off the
(31:06):
DNC convention should be electric. Mark Mayfield has more.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Reports, saying the president's speech will focus on passing the
torch to Vice President Kamala Harris. The convention is sent
to begin August the nineteenth in Chicago. That's less than
a month since Biden made the decision to drop out
of the twenty twenty four presidential race and endorse Harris.
Democrats will begin the process of officially nominating the party's
candidate for president with a virtual role call on Thursday.
(31:32):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Why did I spend forty five minutes kind of giving
you the reality of what happened yesterday so that you
don't fall for things like this. Former President Trump is
questioning Vice President Kamala Harris's racial identity. Lisa Taylor has more.
Speaker 11 (31:44):
In an appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists
convention in Chicago, Trump claimed he didn't know Harris was black.
Speaker 10 (31:50):
I've known a long time, indirectly, not directly, very much,
and she was always of Indian heritage, and she was
only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she was black
until a number of years ago when she happened to
turn black, and now she wants to be known as black.
Speaker 11 (32:08):
Trump sat for a Q and A with black journalists,
where he touched on several issues and clashed with ABC
News congressional correspondent Rachel Scott, who asked Trump why black
voters would support the former president for a second term.
I'ly se tailor.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
See how those things play when you control the narrative.
The US military says it carried out an air strike
and a rock against the base used by Iran aligned militias.
Michael Casner has details.
Speaker 13 (32:31):
Iraqi authorities report four people were killed four others injured.
US says the strike was aimed at militants planning to
use drones to attack American forces. Several rockets were launched
American troops in Iraq last week, with no damage or
casualties reported. Iraq condemned the US strike. I'm Michael cast
in Paris. The US added four more medals.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
There's still a top with thirty total, but France, the
home country, is closing in with twenty six. We're all
in this together. This is your Your Morning Show with
Michael Vendel Joiner
Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live. But we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast starting your morning off right?
Speaker 2 (00:20):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in the stage.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell join. Just
what are we into? That's the question, right, got a
little weird yesterday six minutes after the hour. Thanks for
waking up with your morning show on the air and
streaming live on your iHeart app. Do you think if
we just refuse to talk, or if we talk slower,
(00:48):
maybe August will go by? Not as fast as jugg Live.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I mean, I said right before we went on the
airm light.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
By the way, it's August. I'm just sure you it
out there. Jeffrey is our calendar watcher sound watcher producer extraordinary. Yes,
it's August. How did that happen? And you realize when
this month ends, I'll be sixty No way, Yeah, I
remember when my grandfather came to visit in Arlington Heights, Illinois,
(01:17):
from Syracuse, New York, and he was sixty five, and
I thought, wow, poppies old. Yeah, he looks so much
older than me. Well, yeah, you've been I had like
the little like the wife beat her undershirt underneath his
crisp stress shirt and tie right slacks, male pattern balding. Yeah,
(01:38):
he talked a lot older, he acted a lot older.
One of the guid impusinitionis I do why me is
my grandfather? And I can't use it because nobody knows
what he sounded like. So how you doing with this
sixty thing? You struggling for it? You don't care. I'm look,
I'm ready for eternity. I'm ready to get this little
side show over the real living, unterrupted living going. All right,
(02:04):
So yesterday, here's the big news one. I'll give you
an example. Headlines today Associated Press Donald Trump falsely suggests
Kamala Harris misled voters about her race. Washington Post Trump
attacks Harris's black identity. Now it makes it sound like
(02:26):
Donald Trump busted in the room and just started Archie
bunkering Kamala Harris, which isn't how it happened first and foremost,
which will demonstrate. Then there's the question, what is Kamala Harris.
That's not debatable, right, a little tricky. Her father's Donald Harris,
(02:53):
Jamaican American Stanford professor. We'll get back to that. Her mother, Chayamala,
is from India. She is a he's a medical scientist.
(03:14):
So two brilliant parents. But all right, let's do the race.
One is from British controlled southern India, the other is Jamaican.
Now we had some people, you know, because with Barack Obama,
it was a little tricky. Barack Obama was fifty percent Caucasian,
yet we know him as the first black president because
(03:34):
of the other fifty percent. Now fifty is fifty, right.
He's mostly Caucasian, he's thirty six percent Arabic, and he's
only about fourteen percent African American. But he identifies as that.
So that's what he is. That's a cultural thing. But
by blood, it's easy to say, oh, he's fifty percent Caucasian,
(03:58):
he's thirty six percent Arabic, he's four teen percent African.
Now when you get to Jamaica, because a lot of
people are saying she's not half black. She's Indian and Jamaican. Yeah,
but ninety two percent of Jamaicans identify as black. Now
you're getting into that what they identify as if you
follow their bloodline, and this is fact, this isn't arguable.
(04:20):
Seventy six point three percent of all Jamaicans are of
African descent, fifteen percent are Afro European, three point four
percent East Indian, one point two percent Caucasian, zero point
eight percent Chinese. That's what they are. But again the
(04:41):
question is what is she and how does she identify?
They're two completely different questions. One is literal, one is cultural,
which makes this all a gray enough area to have
a scrum, if you will. So then you go to
(05:01):
the uh social media and immediately you get all kinds
of posts like here's Kamala Harris on a cooking show.
She certainly is only celebrating the Indian portion of her blood.
She's not identifying as anything else.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
So listen, okay, So what we're going to cook today
is an Indian recipe? Yes, because you are idiot?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, okay, And.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I don't know that everybody knows that, but I find
that wherever I go and I see Indian people at
the supermarket on the street. Everyone's like, you know, Kamala
Har's is Indian, right, it's like our thing. We're so
excited about to have you running for president.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
You know, people have said you're Italian American, right, And
it's never excited me that much. I've never gone into giggling. Well,
she gets giddy about every everything. I guess, So.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
We're both Indian, but actually we're both South Indian.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yes, you look like entire one half of my family. Okay,
thank you. I'm related already.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
So this is perfect.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
It's basically true.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
So obviously she's identifying only as Indians. She doesn't correct her,
she doesn't give props. I mean, I'm one hundred percent Italian.
If I gave all four names, probably be a security
breach and you'd be like, weren't they all in the Godfather? Yes?
All right, so, but so pretty boring. I know what
I am. But if I were half something, I might
(06:31):
correct somebody. I mean, how do you choose one over
the other? I don't know. So here she is is
another one that went Viyra yesterday, her being introduced. This
is when she was running for the Senate.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
It is my true distinct pleasure.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
To introduce the first senator and I'm not going to
say this, the first senator of Indian American heritage and
the history off us Senate.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Okay, So there's this constant references to Indian and Indian only.
That's nothing. That's not even on my radar. I mean,
what they're doing on xer Facebook, I don't care. What
is she? All right? Well, Donald's Jamaican and by blood
(07:29):
that makes some seventy six percent of African descent, maybe
fifteen percent Afro European, three percent Indian, one percent Caucasian.
He's black, Jamaican, Black mother, India, Indian. Then you get
to the White House. Now k JP enters the race
(07:55):
and notice the defense is not what she is, but
rather what she identifies as. That is so appalling. Of course,
you have to sit through the long question. First.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
I can to ask you about something that's happening at
the end of PJA Right now, Donald Trump is speaking
to some of the reporters who are assembled there, and right
out of the gates there was what can best be
described as a contentious exchange where the former.
Speaker 7 (08:26):
President said, I'm asking this through the lens of someone
who represents the president, vice president, not someone who has
to speak as a campaign question. He says of Kamala Harris,
the vice president, she was always of Indian heritage, and
she was only promoting Indian heritage.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I didn't know she was black.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
Until a number of years ago when she happened to
turn black, he said, And now she wants to be
known as black. So I didn't know is she Indian
or is she black? She is always a this is unclear.
I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't because she
was Indian all the way and then all of a sudden,
she made a turn and she went black.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Your assistant make Donald trumpet like a in ignorant neanderthal,
you know, racist. You can even hear Crange Jean Pierre
in the background. Oh this is so appalling. So this
is her big moment, like in volleyball. I mean, it's
just teed up for her. And here's your response response
to those comments.
Speaker 8 (09:20):
Uh, he is a candidate, so I'm going to be
super careful. Wait no, no, no, hold on, hold on.
I have more to say. I certainly have more to
say as a person of color, as a black woman.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
See, this really doesn't matter what you are. Notice in
my entire opening monologue, didn't say, as a white Caucasian
Italian American, what difference is met? What's relevant is Kamala
Harris's father, Donald, Kamala Harris's mother Shayamala, and their bloodline
(09:54):
and their descent, all right, so that we can establish
what they really are in reality. And then we got
to get to our cultural craziness, which is I could
identify as an African American today and that side of
the political spectrum and culture would defend that even though
it's not true. So she starts by telling you what
(10:18):
she is, which has nothing to do with this, as
if she should be more offended by this question mark
than anybody else. But then listen to the defense.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
As a person of color, as a black woman who
is in this position that is standing before you at
this podium, behind this lectern. What he just said, what
you just read out to me is repulsive, it's insulting.
And you know, no one has any right to tell
someone who they are how they identify. That is no
(10:54):
one's right.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
No one has the right to tell you who you
are and how you identify. Well, because that's your defense
cultural identification and not bloodline. Then I go back to
X and Facebook and I say, well, you know what,
all this stuff is reletive.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Okay, So what we're going to cook today is an
Indian recipe?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yes, because you are see. That's the thing. It's the
same thing with sexuality. She may have been identifying as
an India Indian then and now she identifies as black.
But this is what makes it so confusing, which makes
you want to go back to that actual Donald Trump exchange,
(11:39):
which ends up being the only thing that is relevant.
He's at the NABJ and he's ambushed. Not true.
Speaker 9 (11:46):
You have told four congressman women of color who were
American citizens to go back to where they came from.
You have used words like animal and rabbit to describe
black district attorneys. You've attacked black journalists, calling them a loser,
saying the questions that they ask are quote stupid and racist.
You've had dinner with a white supremacist at your marologue resort.
(12:07):
So my question, sir, now that you are asking black
supporters to vote for you, why should black voters trust
you after you have used language like that.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
That's her big Megan Kelly question, Like we didn't live
that the first time even laid out like Megan Kelly
her best Meghan Kelly impersonation. I have a golf clip
if you need it. And Donald Trump's response, I'll admit,
probably priceless for Donald Trump's supporters. But there's a lot
of people in charge of all black news coverage in
(12:41):
that room, and I doubt the answer went over is
great with them throughout the day. But that's an ambush.
That's a ridiculous question. No one will fact check that question.
But here was Donald Trump's response.
Speaker 10 (12:54):
Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been
asked a question so in such a horrorble manner.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
First question, you don't even say, hello, how are you?
Are you with ABC?
Speaker 10 (13:06):
Because I think they're a fake news network, a terrible
net work. And I think it's disgraceful that I came
here in good spirit. I love the black population of
this country. I've done so much for the black population
of this country, including employment, including Opportunity Zones with Senator
(13:30):
Tim Scott of South Carolina, which is one of the
greatest programs ever for black workers and black entrepreneurs.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I've done so much. And you know, and I.
Speaker 10 (13:40):
Say this, Historically, black colleges and universities were out of money.
They were stone call broke, and I saved them and
I gave them long term financing, and nobody else was
doing it. I think it's a very rude introduction. I
don't know exactly why you would do something like that.
To go a step further, I was invited here, and
(14:02):
I was told my opponent, whether it was Biden or Kamala,
I was told my opponent was going to be here.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
It turned out my opponent isn't here.
Speaker 10 (14:12):
You invited me under false pretense, and then you said
you can't do it with zoom.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Well you know where's zoom.
Speaker 10 (14:19):
She's going to do it with zoom and she's not coming,
and then you are half an url a.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Just so we understand, I have too much.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
So that's a real relevant point. You want to know
what candidate cares about the black community. One didn't go.
She is too busy right now riding a high with
her schedule, but she was going to zoom it in
and then they didn't allow it. So the one that
cared enough to come is ambushed by an ABC reporter.
That response flawless. The other one not quite as flawless,
although he didn't say anything really wrong. But what do
(14:45):
you wake up to this morning? Donald Trump falsely suggests
Kamala Harris misled voters. Donald Trump didn't do anything. He
was ambushed with a ridiculous question and then forced to respond.
And it took us sixteen minutes to try to figure
out well, through her father Donald and her mother Shayamala,
here's what she is. But then again that all goes
(15:06):
out the window because look at Karine Jean Pierre's response.
Anybody can identify it anything, and no one has the
right to tell anybody what they identify as. All right,
so today I'm gonna do the rest of the short
the show as a Clydesdale. All right, this is just ridiculous.
But how does it all play out? Does it steal
(15:30):
the momentum? The Democrats got to get back to ninety
two percent of the Black vote and they're sitting at
seventy inherited by Joe Donald Trump. Walk into any trap
that could close that gap. That will talk about a
lot more seriously in our one on one This is
your Morning show with Michael del Jono. Is it.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Football is back?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I know how it works. After the super Bowl, you
kind of mull your way through different sports. You'll watch
it at the basketball, you'll watch it at of hockey,
You'll watch it a little baseball, you'll fall asleep to
it out of golf. But what you're really waiting for
is football season to come again, where they get really
slopper knockery alone. Tonight, Monday Night Football, the Hall of
(16:18):
Fame Game from the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium
in Canton, Ohio. They're gonna be good. You're not gonna
see many of the good players tonight, but the Chicago
Bears and the Houston Texans kick off the NFL season
with the Hall of Fame Game. It always rememberhen you
were a kid in the Hall of Fame game had
always come on in the heat of August. And you're like,
(16:39):
is it almost football season again? Yes? Yes, it is
the best two series of football you've seen this year.
Gotta love a little football. Of course, we got our
eyes all on the Olympics right now. By the way,
I have a Monday Night theme that will not stop.
It will not give way to the Olympic theme. Oh okay,
(17:00):
there it is. I couldn't get it to release. While
you're busy working, I'm already done working so I can
keep an eye on the Olympic Games for you. American
swimmer Katie Ledecki won her record tying eighth gold medal.
I can't even tread water. How's that fair?
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Serious?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
You can't swim. I can swim as long as I'm
going forward. But if I stop, I sing. I don't
know how to tread water. You need arm floaties, I do.
I don't think you can compete in those. Katie can swim,
and she was the big winner in Paris. She won
the gold in the women's fifteen hundred meter freestyle and
broke her own Olympic record in the process. Tory Husky
(17:39):
added her third medal in Paris after winning silver in
the women's one hundred meter freestyle.
Speaker 11 (17:44):
Team.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
USA men's basketball made short of the South Sudean team
one O three eighty six. They're undefeated in advance in
their group. The US women's national soccer team three nothing
over Australia or three and ozer.
Speaker 9 (17:56):
Now.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
After a two to one win over Australia, America will
face Japan and the quarterfinals on Sunday and today women's
gymnastics all around final is going to take place, so
you'll see Simone Biles and Suny Lee competing. By the way,
I don't know if you'd noted, but one of the
former Olympians had wrote a nasty little Mikayla Skinner preview
(18:21):
of this Olympic game, and in it she said, well,
this team really isn't that talented. It's one of the
least talented teams we've sent to the Olympics. Quite frankly,
they're not very hungry. They're kind of lazy. I don't
expect much from them. So when Biles posted her pictures
of all of them with the flag in the comment section,
she went, yeah, just a bunch of lazy, beatiocre. Nothing
(18:41):
like a little locker room noteboard. Yeah there is. Just
to let her know, MICHAELA, wherever you are, we caught
your comment. The US added another four medals on Wednesday.
They continue to sit atop the metal leaderboard at thirty. However,
France is now just four behind with twenty six total medals,
China third with nineteen, the USS five gold, thirteen silver,
(19:03):
twelve bronze. Here at home, of course, we're keeping an
eye on the presidential race. There was a lot of momentum.
I mean think of everything Donald Trump has been through,
from assassination, attempt to drug into courtrooms across to America,
being stuck in a courtroom for pretty much three quarters
(19:27):
of the primary process, and he still secured the nomination early.
Many of the cases have since gone by the wayside,
and the one that got thirty four convictions may not
stand based on a Supreme Court ruling. This guy survived
a lot. I think he can. I mean, frankly, I
think he can survive a little NABJ Black Journalist ambush.
(19:50):
But we kind of dissected for you, are you kidding me?
With a border crisis, fentanyl crisis, debt crisis, inflation crisis,
stagnant wages, generations being locked out of the home ownership dream.
We're going to focus on whether or not Kamala Harris
(20:11):
is Indian or Black. Yeah, and keep in mind where
this all happened, because this was an ambush. I'm beginning
to think the more I see details from what happened
in Pennsylvania that was an ambush. But this was clearly
an ambush. So here is the National Association of Black
(20:35):
Journalists convention in Chicago. The invites go out. Trump responds,
Biden's supposed to be there, then Biden's gone, Harris is
supposed to be there, Then Harris is too busy to
be there, so she wants to zoom it in. That
they won't accept her zoom call, so it ends up
being Donald Trump alone. And then the ambush with an
(20:57):
ABC reporter, and you wonder why Donald Trump doesn't want
a debate on ABC goes like this.
Speaker 9 (21:05):
As one woman of color who were American citizens to
go back to where they came from. You have used
words like animal and rabbit to describe black district attorneys
you've attacked.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
By the way, the animal in the rabbit had nothing
to do with them being black, as much as how
they were attacking him. But so all out of context.
Here's your best, Megan Kelly. Here's the ambush question. Donald
Trump handles this part flawless.
Speaker 9 (21:29):
Black journalists, calling them a loser, saying the questions that
they ask are quote stupid and racist. You've had dinner
with a white supremacists at your marologue resort. So my question, sir,
now that you are asking black supporters to vote for you,
why should black voters trust you after you have used
language like that.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I mean this is this straight out of the Megan
Kelly playbook with the war on women in the first
Fox debate before the twenty sixteen primaries. Why, well, they're
losing a lot of young voters. They've already lost a
(22:09):
lot of Hispanic voters. But really the coup de gras
of their challenge and political death is their Black support
has gone from ninety two percent to seventy And that's
a big problem in Philadelphia, therefore, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 12 (22:24):
Therefore the electoral college map. That's a big problem. In Michigan,
therefore the electoral college map. They have got to turn
things around and get the black vote back. Now, the
problem is the black people are at odds with this administration,
whether it's Kamala Harris who is or is not the czar,
or Joe Biden because of their open borders and purposely
(22:47):
bringing in millions of illegals and giving them the facilities
and resources that were once going to legal black Americans.
That's their problem in Michigan, that's their problem in Chicago,
going to be their problem at the convention, and that's
their problem with the black support and eventually an epiphany
among black voters.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
You know what these people take us for granted, and
they're always promising us the world and they never deliver.
Heck with them, So this ambush is designed to turn
that around. Now, listen, they're not idiots, because you're going
to listen to this. It's going to play one way
with you for a lot of black people, and you'll
(23:26):
hear them in the crowd cheering. It didn't work with
them either, But there's a lot of journalists in there
who will now control the narratives moving forward to the
black community. And this shows that they're united to try
to destroy Trump because their worldview is more important than
their people's livelihoods. So that loaded Megan Kelly despicable question. Well,
(23:54):
Donald Trump's response here would not have produced any of
the headlines today. This was a perfect response if he
would have only left it at this, unclipped his mike
and left. So she gives the big long accusation. Here's
Donald Trump's response.
Speaker 10 (24:13):
Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been
asked a question so in such a horrible manner.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
A first question, you don't even say, hello, how are
you are you? With ABC?
Speaker 10 (24:26):
Because I think they're a fake news network, a terrible network.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Loving it.
Speaker 10 (24:32):
I think it's disgraceful that I came here in good spirit.
I love the black population of this country. I've done
so much for the black population of this country, including employment,
including Opportunity Zones with Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina,
which is one of the greatest programs ever for black
(24:55):
workers and black entrepreneurs.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
I've done so much. And you know when I.
Speaker 10 (25:00):
Say this, Historically black colleges and universities were out of money.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
There were stone call broke, and I say.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
By the way, do you think Kamala Harris or Joe
Biden or any Democrat could go through a laundry list
like that of what they've done, not what they promised
to do now what they claim ownership of cultural correctness of,
but literally doing for they couldn't because they haven't, and
(25:30):
he has, and he did flawless answer going great.
Speaker 10 (25:33):
Gave them and I gave them long term financing and
nobody else was doing it. I think it's a very
rude introduction. I don't know exactly why you would do
something like that. And let me go a step further.
I was invited here and I was told my opponent,
whether it was Biden or Kamala I was told my
opponent was going to be here. It turned out my
(25:55):
opponent isn't here. You invited me under false pretense, and
then you said you can't do it with zoom. Well
you know where's zoom. She's going to do it with
zoom and she's not coming.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
And then you were half an urla.
Speaker 10 (26:08):
Just so we understand, I have too much respect for
you to be late.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
They couldn't get their equipment working or something. I think
it's a very nasty question. I have answered the question.
Speaker 10 (26:19):
I have been the best president for the black population
since Abraham Lincoln.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
That's my answer.
Speaker 11 (26:27):
President Johnson, right ack.
Speaker 10 (26:29):
For you to start off a question and answer period,
especially when you're thirty five minutes late because you couldn't
get your equipment to work in such a hostile manner,
I think it's a disgrace.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I really I agree with them, And quite frankly, if
he would have only just undid his microphone and left
the stage at that point, that's what they deserved. That
was a very Donald Trump two point zero. This part.
This was very Donald Trump one point two. And of
(27:00):
course they controlled the narrative, so they will control. All
they had to do was get him to bite one
of the baits, and they would run with it. This
is what they're going to portray as the bite.
Speaker 9 (27:15):
Some of your own supporters, including Republicans on Capitol Hill,
have labeled Vice President Kamala Harris, who is the first
black and Asian American woman to serve as vice president
and be on a major party ticket, as a DEI hire.
Is that acceptable language to you?
Speaker 1 (27:30):
I don't know. You should actually interview them, is what
he should have said? Why would you take that bait
who said what I'm not aware of what somebody said,
but that's not where he goes.
Speaker 9 (27:42):
Listen, and will you tell those Republicans and those supporters
to stop it?
Speaker 4 (27:46):
How do you how do you define DEEI go ahead?
How do you define diversity?
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Equity inclusion?
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Okay, yeah, go ahead? Is that what your definition? Give
that is? That is?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Give me a definition?
Speaker 4 (27:56):
A definition? Yeah, give me a definition, Sara.
Speaker 9 (27:59):
I'm asking you a question.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
You have to find the define it from.
Speaker 9 (28:03):
I just defined it, sir. Do you believe that Vice
President Kamala Harris is only on the ticket because she
is a black woman?
Speaker 4 (28:08):
Well, I can say no. I think it's maybe a
little bit different.
Speaker 10 (28:11):
So I've known her a long time, indirectly, not directly
very much, and she was always of Indian heritage, and
she was only promoting Indian heritage.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
I didn't know she was black.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Now if you were, if you're just waking up. We
played clips that were viral all over social media yesterday
and they're ridiculous clips. And I normally don't play those
kinds of clips. But if the if the defense from
the White House in Karine Jean Pierre was, how dare
anybody question how someone chooses to identify? So if it
doesn't matter that Donald Harris her father was Jamaican, and
(28:47):
Shahamamalah her mother is Indian, and that seventy six percent
of Jamaicans are of African descent, if none of that matters,
and it just matters what she identify as well, guess
what all those ridiculous clips are. All of it because
up until very recently she only identified as India Indian.
You can tell I lived in Oklahoma that I have
(29:08):
to make that distinction. She never did claim her black heritage,
and now suddenly she is in need a black vote.
He didn't quite explain it that eloquently.
Speaker 10 (29:22):
Listen until a number of years ago when she happened
to turn black, and now she wants to be known
as black.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
So I don't know. Is she Indian or is she black?
She is always.
Speaker 9 (29:34):
College.
Speaker 10 (29:34):
I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't because she
was Indian all the way and then all of a
sudden she made a turn and she went she became
a black.
Speaker 9 (29:43):
Just to be clear, sir, do you.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
See somebody should look into that too?
Speaker 10 (29:47):
When you ask a continue in a very hostile, nasty tone,
it's a direct.
Speaker 9 (29:51):
Question, sir, do you believe that Vice President Kamala Harris
is a DEI higher as somebody.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Who really does out? I mean, I really don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
It's a really dumb question, and he really never answered
the beginning of it. But that response, that's what makes
you wake up with Donald Trump falsely suggests Kamala Harris
misled voters with their race. Associated Press Washington Post, Trump
attacks Harris's black No. A black ABC reporter at a
National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago attacked the
(30:21):
President about other people who have said things about Kamala Harris.
He said, no such thing. This is politics today, and
the fentanyl flows and the invasion continues at the border,
the interest rate holds steady, Americans fall deeper in debt
in a country that's thirty five trillion dollars in debt.
(30:44):
And this is what we're talking about. I'm Lenny McGill
of McGill's world famous Glock Steel and my morning show
is your morning Show with Michael del Jordan. If you're
just waking up, Well, he won't top the ticket, but
he will make the first speech. Joe Biden reportedly to
give the first prime time address to kick off the
(31:06):
DNC convention should be electric. Mark Mayfield has more.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Reports, saying the president's speech will focus on passing the
torch to Vice President Kamala Harris. The convention is sent
to begin August the nineteenth in Chicago. That's less than
a month since Biden made the decision to drop out
of the twenty twenty four presidential race and endorse Harris.
Democrats will begin the process of officially nominating the party's
candidate for president with a virtual role call on Thursday.
(31:32):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Why did I spend forty five minutes kind of giving
you the reality of what happened yesterday so that you
don't fall for things like this. Former President Trump is
questioning Vice President Kamala Harris's racial identity. Lisa Taylor has more.
Speaker 11 (31:44):
In an appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists
convention in Chicago, Trump claimed he didn't know Harris was black.
Speaker 10 (31:50):
I've known a long time, indirectly, not directly, very much,
and she was always of Indian heritage, and she was
only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she was black
until a number of years ago when she happened to
turn black, and now she wants to be known as black.
Speaker 11 (32:08):
Trump sat for a Q and A with black journalists,
where he touched on several issues and clashed with ABC
News congressional correspondent Rachel Scott, who asked Trump why black
voters would support the former president for a second term.
I'ly se tailor.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
See how those things play when you control the narrative.
The US military says it carried out an air strike
and a rock against the base used by Iran aligned militias.
Michael Casner has details.
Speaker 13 (32:31):
Iraqi authorities report four people were killed four others injured.
US says the strike was aimed at militants planning to
use drones to attack American forces. Several rockets were launched
American troops in Iraq last week, with no damage or
casualties reported. Iraq condemned the US strike. I'm Michael cast
in Paris. The US added four more medals.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
There's still a top with thirty total, but France, the
home country, is closing in with twenty six. We're all
in this together. This is your Your Morning Show with
