Central and six to nine Eastern on great stations like
six twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or AKRONS, News Talk
six forty WHLO and Akron Ohio and News Radio five
seventy WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a
part of your morning routine, but we're glad you're here now.
(00:22):
Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Well two three.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding. Because we're in Mistigibbon. This
is your morning show with Michael del Tron. Well, despite
some technical issues, Elon Musk's conversation with former President Donald
(00:45):
Trump on X going on for about two hours. The
US is strengthening forces in the Middle East due to
the escalating regional tensions. Protests against Israel and the United
States don't forget are expected outside the DNC can mentioned
in Chicago next week as nineteen sixty eight continues to
replay itself and Boyd at RFK Junior get that well,
(01:09):
Biden Harris Walls style of democracy ruling in New York
at seven minutes after the hour and welcome to Tuesday,
August the thirteenth, twenty twenty four on the Aaron streaming
live on your iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
This is your morning show with Michael del Jornam.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
All right, so for some reason I have like little
mind terror attacks. So how long was Convoy, which was
a novelty song I believe in like nineteen seventy five,
just bouncing around in my brain waves waiting to attack
me right before today's show.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I'll be honest with you, I thought I was the
only one that could still remember Convoy from time to time.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Jeffrey Lyon running the board for us, Yeah, oh a suda.
We got ourselves that come boy, tucking in through the night.
How long has that been in there? And why would
it come out to I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I don't know, but it does come out from time
to time with those of us that suffer from the.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I call it hook idis. Maybe that's it, you know,
you get these hooks could take hours to get out
of my head. Yes, all right, So this is classic Sololenski,
thus made more famous and classic Barack Obama. And the
tactic is whatever you're accusing others of is really a
(02:29):
confession of what you're doing. So when they say democracies
under attack, they're busy attacking democracy. You got to learn
to speak this language. Up is down, down is up.
So if you were to believe Joe Joe before and
(02:50):
Kamala now, that's ultimately what's at stake in the November election,
democracy itself. We were Joe Biden it again in Sunday
CBS interview. And yet when we look at the ruling
of a judge in New York concerning the RFK being
on the ballot decision or the ABC debate that is
(03:15):
the only one that has so far been agreed upon
by the Harris team. And the treatment of Tulsea Gabbard,
a lieutenant colonel who did serve with great valor is
on a terror list while the guy who stayed home
is on a presidential ticket. You know, at some point
(03:35):
you just say try the veal, We'll be here all week.
Good night, everybody, because he needs to make you go.
They just can't go any more than that. We're gonna
kind of in our journey of discovery, look at well
today only the top three attacks on democracy from those
who say democracy is at stake if Donald Trump were
to get in office, not if they remain in office.
(03:58):
Probably the big I guess, well, the biggest story should
be Israel and an eminent attack from Iran, but here
at home, probably the Elon Musk interview with Donald Trump.
There are two things waking up that if you just
listen to the radio, you're gonna get confused. All right,
So what was this attack that caused the delay?
Speaker 4 (04:21):
And then.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
What is this tactic? And is it smart?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Already, Kamala Harris has come out and spoke against this.
This is just two very rich people trying to rob
the middle class. They're a threat to democracy. They're a
threat to the middle class. And that was about it.
That's about the most she could do. Now, at some point,
(04:51):
I think everybody's got to realize there's a passing of
the baton.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
TV should have been first. That's a whole other, long
historic story.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
But you know, first we had print, then we had radio,
then we had television, then we had cable, then we
had internet, then we had social media. And so this
notion that the Washington Post, in the La Times and
the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune Washington, they
(05:22):
can steer an entire country over. We don't even use
newspapers to light fires anymore. We have gas lighters, gas
lip fireplaces. I mean, every doubt. One day, I actually
was feeling a little nostalgic. When's the last time you
held a newspaper in your hand? You thought about it, Jeffrey.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
You know, I went looking for a Sunday paper a
couple of years ago and I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Find Okay, I did it a couple of months ago,
and do you know what the do you know what
the tennessee and is charging for a Sunday paper. No,
it's like six bucks, no kidding.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
And I was there.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I'm like, you know, just for old time's sake, wouldn't
it be fun to go my two favorite Well, there's
three great newspapers, just to fold it back to the
subway on a subway, reading the paper at a breakfast
table at a breakfast restaurant. That's a great newspaper read,
and then on your your recliner with your cup of
(06:20):
coffee by side. Right, And so I'm thinking, I think
it's been thirty years since I've held.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
A newspaper in my hand. I'm gonna go get a newspaper.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Then when I saw it with six dollars, I just
couldn't do it, couldn't give it my six paper, not
even for a nostalgic trip.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Not even for all the circulars.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
So you all listening, what's the last time you held
a newspaper in your hand? When's the last time something
you read in the newspaper influenced how you believe?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
When's the last time.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
ABC, NBCCBSCNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, New York Times, whatever you
read has made a difference in how you vote. They're
all losing money. The ratings aren't anything to be worried about.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
You know, when.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Walter Cronkite did the six o'clock news, and he was
only one of three places you got news, so unless
you couldn't be near a television that was plugged in,
he had a one to three shot, and of course,
in Walter Cronkist's case, it was more than one and three.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
You were watching.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Them now, some of your most revered shows, they have
a couple, you know, few hundred thousand people watching. So
is it a big deal last night that at one
point Donald Trump had over a million people listening to
a conversation with him with Elon Musk where people are now?
(07:54):
And I might add that's live. It will bounce around
all day and all week until billions have heard a
portion of it. So I'm gonna do short work of
the easy partli. I mean, do you remember what we
(08:15):
went through with Don Lemon? How long did that linger?
That ricocheted for five months? Don Leon? Elon Muskin, of you,
I saw a clip the other day, just yesterday that
it is resurfaced.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
It's still surface it.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yeah, for whatever reason, it's hit my algorithm. So you
can run an ad anywhere on any show during the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
These people can try to steer the narrative and control
the narrative all day long. But over a million people
listen to this live and probably close to a billion
will hear Porsche and portions of it before it's over.
Barack Obama was probably the first to begin to use
(08:59):
digital and social media. This was a tremendous blow to
the Harris camp. And her biggest defense is just a
couple of rich guys trying to attack the middle class. Okay,
and then here's how it sounded. So the first thing,
how dare to and me, but she is not limited
(09:27):
by time more space. All right, So what was was
a glitch? You'll hear that all day. There's nobody that
won't introduce I don't have there's some kind of a
slam on e On. Elon Musker acts but ever after
some glitches, and they did. They had glitches. So this
is Elon Musk starting by explaining the glitches. But I
want you to hear the next thing he says.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
It's powerful.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
So my pledges for the late start. We unfortunately had
a massive distributed knowledge service attack against our servers.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I was just trying to send a piece of sound
back to the studio.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
To Jeffrey, and I was technically incapable. I have no
idea what he just said, but it sounds serious.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Jeffrey and saturated all all of our data lines, like basically,
hundreds of gigabites of data were saturated.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
You don't want that, by the way, hundreds and hundreds
of gigabytes saturated.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
That's not a good thing.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
We've we think we've overcome most of that, and so
it's not time to proceed. But as this massive attack illustrates,
there's a lot of opposition to people just hearing what
President Trump has to say.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Listen to the first of all, I find you know,
he's you can tell this is a very smart man
and his speech pattern is a brain that's going really
fast having to slow down to an incredible level just
to communicate. All right, So I'm fascinated by this guy
in general. I also make my living speaking. And I
can tell you some people would say, oh that this
(11:02):
guy shouldn't be hosting these kinds of things. He doesn't
have the he is the perfect host. He may be
the only good host left. What's it in the next
thirty five seconds?
Speaker 5 (11:12):
And so but I'm honored to have this conversation. I'd
want em size it's a it's a conversation, and it's
really intended to just get get a feel for what
Donald Trump is just like in a conversation. So it's
hard to catch a vibe about someone if you just
don't hear them token in a normal way. And when
(11:33):
you know, when when there's an adversarial interview, like no
one's themselves in adversarial interview. So for and this is
really and at kind of open minded independent voters who
they're just trying to make up their mind so.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
There he's addressing I need to right. But there there
he's addressing the notion that there are some that are
going to vote Democrats, no matter what they're in the
left side, those are going to vote for Donald Try
no matter what they're in the right silo For anybody
in between, or anybody that even though you've made up
your mind, you still have a brain wave, you still
have a sense of fairness and curiosity.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
This interviews for you. Wow.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
You know you could get rid of every television network,
every newspaper tomorrow and replace it with stuff like this,
and not only would I be happier, this nation would
be better off.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
How true is that? You know? People often.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Greatest interviewer ever, greatest commentator ever, Paul Harvey, greatest talk
show host ever in his prime, Rush Limbaugh, greatest interviewer ever.
Some would say ourt link letter and I get it,
and it's close. I'm gonna go. Larry King, Larry King
could get things out of Some might throw in Barbara
(12:55):
Walters or Oprah Winfrey. I wouldn't, but but they might.
For this very same reason. People will say things to
them they won't say to anybody else.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Where.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Larry King brought it to an art was you don't
even rememberim asking the question. I remember every question Megan
Kelly ever asked, not just the famous one to Donald Trump.
You don't even remember Larry King asking the question. And
he'd get the answer and the Peabody. The Peabody, you would,
(13:27):
and then he would go to Aqueduct and bet the
gray horse in the third race. No, but to make
a long story short, he was brilliant at that. But
nobody's ever put their finger on it. And I think
it was trust. What Elon Musk just said was so profound.
Nobody can be themself on ABC. If you're Donald Trump,
(13:48):
you can't sit down with any network and be yourself
because first and foremost you don't have any trust. Their adversaries.
They're there to destroy you, hurt you. You're never gonna
relax and be yourself. What I loved most, I know
you're looking at the clock, and I know you're looking
at me, and I can take a hint. What I
loved most was that Elon Musk was focused on us
(14:10):
and what would be useful to us, and he was
considerate of his guest and what keeps him from being
himself and wanting you to finally see him as himself
because you don't get to because he's always under attack.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I found that a heck of a lot more.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Useful than anything that's on television, anything in newspapers.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Quite frankly, some days anything on radio.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Must here, and it'll be ricocheting around for days, but
must understand today the Elon Musk visit with Donald Trump
and what it means when your morning show continues.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
This is your morning show with Michael Del Tuono.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I played a clip earlier, and you know this is
that time of the morning where so many alarm clocks
are going off.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
You might have missed it, And.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I thought the beginning was brilliant because the beginning gives
you the necessity and the intent.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Listen, we've we think we've overcome most of that, and
so it's not time to proceed. But as this massive
attack illustrates, there's a lot of opposition to people just
hearing what President Trump has to say.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
So the plan is to sit down with Donald Trump,
just like the plan was to have a rally in
Pennsylvania and someone's attacking to stop it. We joke around.
It seems like every time I'm doing something that's really significant,
something technical happens. I don't think that much of myself
to think anybody's targeting me. I know they're targeting Donald Trump.
(15:44):
In fact, one of my most laughable stories is that
the FBI is looking into all this hacking. You know,
the same FBI that couldn't solve the shooter on the roof.
You know, our cocain the White House, our coc in
the White House.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
You know.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Oh, I've feel better. The FBI is on it. Let's relax.
But all right, So, first and foremost, it was attacked
in the name of democracy. Somebody didn't want you to
hear this. And if you're lucky, it's aron attacking because
it could be your own country. Anyway, gets all that
(16:20):
cleared up after an hour of delays because somebody was
trying to block this event from happening, We're ready to begin.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Listen to what Elon Musk.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Says and so, but I'm honored to have this conversation.
I'd want emphasize it's a it's a conversation, and it's
really intended to just get get a feel for what
Donald Trump is, just like in a conversation. So it's
hard to catch a vibe about someone if you just
don't hear them token a normal way. And when you
(16:52):
know when this, when there's an adversarial interview, it's like
no one's themselves in adversarial interview. So for and this
is really aimed at kind of open minded independent voters who're.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Just trying to make up their mind.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
And so you can understand, like what is you know,
what is it just like to have a conversation.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
So I just thought that was, in its simplicity, so perfect.
We had a long conversation about what made Larry King Gray.
Trust was a big part of it. If I'm talking
to somebody, I trust on myself. If I'm sitting at
a table with somebody I don't trust, I am not myself.
In fact, I'm very guarded, maybe even a little defensive.
(17:41):
This guy may not be a professional broadcaster, but he
may be the Edward R. Murrow or the Walter Cronkite
of our generation. Just in his simplicity and honesty, you sense,
and I'm now, but you sense there's a side of
(18:02):
Donald Trump we never get to see. And Elon Musk
wanted desperately for you to see that this isn't a
wait for a gotcha attack interview. This is a conversation
for the few that still have an open mind and
(18:23):
a curious mind. If you're in the left or the
right silos, you're busy about your your business. But for
everybody in between, or even people like us, we're probably
leaning very heavily.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I'm voting for Donald Trump, but I can't speak for
you leading heavily.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
We still have an open mind, want to discuss things
and understand them. Now the proof would be in the
pudding at the end of the two hours, did you
see a different side of Donald Trump? Did you have
a a much more substanative, informative idea of what is
(19:04):
broken in his mind and what he plans to fix
and how?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
If so?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I would contend this is more useful than any debate
that's gonna happen. This is more useful than any time
on the internet, on social media or watching whether you
love Fox or CNN. I'll do you another one. This
(19:29):
is the mic drop. Are you ready? I sure hope
Elon Musk is just as interested in giving us the
unique opportunity to hear Kamala Harris as herself. Kamala Harris
discuss in long, substantive form what's happening to all of
(19:51):
us in America. Oh, by the way, I don't know
that you should hold your breath for that. So my
whole point this morning is look at Elon Musk, not
even a broadcaster. He is the silent in the Jack
Reacher movie with Tom Cruise, which is so formula, but
(20:14):
for some reason I buy in and enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
There's a great moment where.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
The sheriff who's going to arrest him and is about
to get arrested instead says, who the hell are you,
Tom Cruise, and very Jack Reacher style, I'm the one
you didn't count on. In the shadow campaign to Save
the Democracy too, Elon Musk is the one they didn't
(20:43):
count on because this time around, the very man who
was censored, remember in the shadow Campaign to Save the Democracy.
Time Magazine, February fifteenth, twenty twenty one. It is there.
Go read it for yourself. It is their manner festival
of how they stole the election, including Klan who ended
(21:05):
up being the chief of staff. I mean, these are
all the operatives of the Democrat Party telling you what
they did to you because they kept waiting for them
for there to be a big Watergate over it and
it never even happened. That's the shame. That's the difference
between nineteen seventy three and now. The media is dead
(21:27):
in America, is asleep at the wheel. We don't care
like we used to. But it never happened. Since Manifesto
is still out there floating and they haven't taken it down,
go read it. But they created the narrative because they
controlled the media. They silenced any opposing views, because they
controlled social media, and they weaponized COVID, change election laws,
(21:51):
harvested ballots, stole the election and swing precincts, and they
look it right in the eye and say, and we
did it because we had to to save democracy. And
by the way, if it hadn't work, they planned unarmed insurrection.
In fact, they even talk about shocked that they were
that they won. They had to call off the dogs,
and they were conditioning you for that insurrection with all
(22:14):
of the George Floyd stuff, all the Black Lives Matter
and all the Antifa. I asked David Zanadi about five
months ago, a very simple question. If they're planned the
first time, if they didn't win was insurrection, why should
we assume they're planned this time? If Kamala doesn't win,
(22:35):
won't be insurrection. So here I am painting you this
whole picture of how this is the only useful conversation
there is. This is your only way to sit with
a candidate without that middleman, the manipulative media, and hear
(22:57):
it from a candidate, What do you think their view
of it is? This was the question going on at
the White House in anticipation of this.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Listen. Elon Musk is.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
Slated to interview Donald Trump tomorrow tonight on on X.
I don't know if the President is going today. Go
free to say if he is or not.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
But I think that.
Speaker 6 (23:23):
Misinformation on Twitter is not just a campaign issue, it's
a you know, it's an America issue. What role does
the White House or the President have in sort of
stopping that, or stopping the spread.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Of that, or sort of intervening in that.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
You should be staring at your radio going did I
did he just say that?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
That is a Washington Post reporter.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Nobody buys newspapers trying to control the narrative, control the
outcome of the election, knowing they head into this one
without X, without Twitter and the owners interviewing Trump, and
he's asking the White House Press Secretary, What does the
President plan to do to stop this? Because obviously anything
(24:13):
that has no use for the Washington Post or necessarily
ensure as a Democrat victory could possibly be legal an American,
it must be misinformation. Welcome to the Divided States of America,
where journalism is dead. The races are rigged, and not
(24:35):
from without, but from within. For those of you that
can handle the truth.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Hey, gang, it's me Michael.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
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, Tupelow's News
and Talk one on one point one and ten sixty WKMQ,
and how about Talk six to fifty Ksteans Zacramento, California.
Love to have you listen live, but are grateful you're
(25:03):
here now for the podcast. Enjoy this is your morning show.
I'm Michael del Jorna if you're just waking up. Several
states planned to hold primaries on this primary Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Mark Mayfield has to Tail Bowers.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
We'll go to the polls Tuesday in Connecticut, Minnesota, Vermont
and Wisconsin. In Minnesota, Progressive congress Woman Elin Omar will
defend her seat against former Minneapolis City council member Don Samuels.
The contest comes after two other members of the so
called Progressive Squad, Jamal Bowman and Corey Bush, lost their
Democratic primaries this cycle. In Wisconsin, Republicans will choose a
(25:35):
candidate to run against Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin, who is
running for a third Senate term.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Well, they felt the earth move under
their feet in southern California yesterday. Brian Shook has more.
The magnitude four point four quake was centered in South Pasadena,
and Eric says he was having lunch when it hit.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
It was really quick and it was it felt like
something fell. It didn't feel like there was shaken it.
It was more like a whambam. It hit at twelve
twenty Monday afternoon local time. The USGS sent out an
automated warning to cell phone seconds before the earthquake hit.
There are no reports of injuries. I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
How perfect is it to have Brian Shook to the
earthquake story.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Barbara streisand not to be outdone.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
By Elon Musk's conversation with Donald Trump. He Barbara Streisan
will be a guest speaker for a virtual group call
this week supporting Kamala Harris for president. According to the
website the Jewish Women for Kamala.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Just let that soak in for a second. Jewish Women
Kamala call it an all open to all genders and
all Jewish allies. Of course, Kamala, like Joe Biden, has
an Israel problem.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
The one hour call is scheduled for Thursday at eight
o'clock Eastern time. Those interested can join the call by
registering to Mobilize dot website. I may have to. I
may have to sign up for that call. Wouldn't that
be fun to be on?
Speaker 8 (27:09):
All?
Speaker 7 (27:10):
Right?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Where are the best places to live? Let's do states
for five hundred, Aaron Rayelle, I hope mine's on there. Tennessee.
Speaker 8 (27:19):
Well, I'm gonna give you the top ten and then
we can go to the bottom fen and I'll tell
you that Tennessee. So top ten. This is interesting and
I think you'll like it, Michael, because it's like a mixture.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
It's usually just.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
All one area or all red or all blue. We
have Massachusetts, Florida, New Jersey, Utah, New Hampshire, Idaho, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
New York, Wyoming.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Was that blue red blue red blue blue.
Speaker 8 (27:41):
Yes, And I was like, wow, maybe they got it
right this time, Like that's kind of incredible to see
what's here, what's there? How this all played out? Tennessee
number thirty three, so like middle ish and this is
the worst. Louisiana, I'm sorry, always seems to find it
out there. But New Mexico, Arkansas, Alaska, Nevada, Mississippi, Oklahoma,
(28:04):
South Carolina, Oregon, and Arizona the top.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Yeah, quite a few of our you have already showed
cities there towards the bottom there.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
What is the matrix for this that they're using.
Speaker 8 (28:14):
It's very comprehensive. House housing costs, income growth, education, quality
of hospitals, poverty rates, ownership of homes. Like it is comprehensive.
Average weekly work hours. Apparently Utah has the lowest and
North Dakota has the highest.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
But yeah, it's they.
Speaker 8 (28:34):
Even look like restaurants per capita, which is why I
think you found a place like Florida so high. And
if you look at Florida, what we know.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
Is it has.
Speaker 8 (28:42):
It's the state with the lowest unemployment rate at two
point nine percent. It also has multiple ways for leisure
times because like it does matter, this is if you're
deciding the best state to live in your building your life,
you have to balance cost of living with withme and
with quality of life. It's imperative.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Well, I lived in Oklahoma for twenty years and people
were very impressed with how wide we were a reference
to Wait, we had a restaurant. We had more restaurants
than we had citizens, and they were all full. Tennessee,
of course, is a very wide state in terms of
Memphis to Gatlinburg, and it's very very different. I mean,
(29:24):
the terrain is very Memphis looks very different from Nashville
and Knoxville and Gatlinburg look even far different from Nashville.
Very very beautiful state. I'm a defendant, but what I'm
getting at is major cities in terms of education, poverty,
so on, and so forth, crime that's going to pull
some of these states down out of the top five
(29:47):
if they've got a couple of problem areas. Memphis is
seemingly a problem area for us. I wonder how much
that influences this, especially for some of these very diverse states.
Speaker 8 (29:57):
I mean it does, but not as much as you
would think given that like Chusetts and Florida are number
one and two and New York makes the top ten.
So it's like, I guess, yes, cities bring it down,
but cities also offer better generally higher paid jobs.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
That's just you know, the yah. But the cost of
living is so high that that's really misleading.
Speaker 8 (30:16):
I again, yes, agree with you completely, but they also
tend to have like let me give you an example
of New Jersey. It has the highest median household income
in the country over ninety six thousand, and it has
the fifth lowest share of the population below the poverty line,
eighth lowest food and security. Many people in New Jersey
commute to New York, so that kind of bumps it up.
(30:37):
It also has h one of the sixth it's the
six lowest so b CD rate ten best overall life
expectancy shocking when you drive through New Jersey the entry
and you're like, this does not seem healthy. But yeah,
so also the sixth lowest violent crime. All of these
things add to quality of life if you're and you're right,
which is like cities if you're walking out and you're
scared you're gonna get shanky.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Your quality of life is clearly lower. You use an
old fashioned prison shank as you're a reference here. You're
a tough girl. Yes you carry You're a scusey girl.
All right. By the way, I'm just curious because I
can never find a place I want to live more
than where I am. I think about maybe something in
upstate New York for a couple of months a year,
in New York City a couple of months a year.
I'm curious about Ohio. And I love the state of Missouri.
(31:20):
I love Saint Louis, I love Kansas City. Where Missouri
end up on that list?
Speaker 8 (31:25):
Missouri? Let me look, I didn't have that one where
I wasn't prepared. I will find this very quiet thought.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Well you'll be back. We can do it next hour
when you're back.
Speaker 8 (31:31):
But yeah, yeah, because you never Missouri thirty.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
One thirty one, So right where I'm at in the
Tennessee zone, all right. Yeah, it's hard when you think
of places you live other than where you're at. I
can't top Tennessee. So what am I thirty something on
your list? Number one on mine? We'll go from there.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
with michaelpen Hill. Show or No,
Hi, I'm Michael del Jorno and your morning show can
be heard live as it's happening five to eight am
Central and six to nine Eastern on great stations like
six twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or AKRONS, News Talk
six forty WHLO and Akron Ohio and News Radio five
seventy WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a
part of your morning routine, but we're glad you're here now.
(00:22):
Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Well two three.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding. Because we're in Mistigibbon. This
is your morning show with Michael del Tron. Well, despite
some technical issues, Elon Musk's conversation with former President Donald
(00:45):
Trump on X going on for about two hours. The
US is strengthening forces in the Middle East due to
the escalating regional tensions. Protests against Israel and the United
States don't forget are expected outside the DNC can mentioned
in Chicago next week as nineteen sixty eight continues to
replay itself and Boyd at RFK Junior get that well,
(01:09):
Biden Harris Walls style of democracy ruling in New York
at seven minutes after the hour and welcome to Tuesday,
August the thirteenth, twenty twenty four on the Aaron streaming
live on your iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
This is your morning show with Michael del Jornam.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
All right, so for some reason I have like little
mind terror attacks. So how long was Convoy, which was
a novelty song I believe in like nineteen seventy five,
just bouncing around in my brain waves waiting to attack
me right before today's show.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I'll be honest with you, I thought I was the
only one that could still remember Convoy from time to time.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Jeffrey Lyon running the board for us, Yeah, oh a suda.
We got ourselves that come boy, tucking in through the night.
How long has that been in there? And why would
it come out to I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I don't know, but it does come out from time
to time with those of us that suffer from the.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I call it hook idis. Maybe that's it, you know,
you get these hooks could take hours to get out
of my head. Yes, all right, So this is classic Sololenski,
thus made more famous and classic Barack Obama. And the
tactic is whatever you're accusing others of is really a
(02:29):
confession of what you're doing. So when they say democracies
under attack, they're busy attacking democracy. You got to learn
to speak this language. Up is down, down is up.
So if you were to believe Joe Joe before and
(02:50):
Kamala now, that's ultimately what's at stake in the November election,
democracy itself. We were Joe Biden it again in Sunday
CBS interview. And yet when we look at the ruling
of a judge in New York concerning the RFK being
on the ballot decision or the ABC debate that is
(03:15):
the only one that has so far been agreed upon
by the Harris team. And the treatment of Tulsea Gabbard,
a lieutenant colonel who did serve with great valor is
on a terror list while the guy who stayed home
is on a presidential ticket. You know, at some point
(03:35):
you just say try the veal, We'll be here all week.
Good night, everybody, because he needs to make you go.
They just can't go any more than that. We're gonna
kind of in our journey of discovery, look at well
today only the top three attacks on democracy from those
who say democracy is at stake if Donald Trump were
to get in office, not if they remain in office.
(03:58):
Probably the big I guess, well, the biggest story should
be Israel and an eminent attack from Iran, but here
at home, probably the Elon Musk interview with Donald Trump.
There are two things waking up that if you just
listen to the radio, you're gonna get confused. All right,
So what was this attack that caused the delay?
Speaker 4 (04:21):
And then.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
What is this tactic? And is it smart?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Already, Kamala Harris has come out and spoke against this.
This is just two very rich people trying to rob
the middle class. They're a threat to democracy. They're a
threat to the middle class. And that was about it.
That's about the most she could do. Now, at some point,
(04:51):
I think everybody's got to realize there's a passing of
the baton.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
TV should have been first. That's a whole other, long
historic story.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
But you know, first we had print, then we had radio,
then we had television, then we had cable, then we
had internet, then we had social media. And so this
notion that the Washington Post, in the La Times and
the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune Washington, they
(05:22):
can steer an entire country over. We don't even use
newspapers to light fires anymore. We have gas lighters, gas
lip fireplaces. I mean, every doubt. One day, I actually
was feeling a little nostalgic. When's the last time you
held a newspaper in your hand? You thought about it, Jeffrey.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
You know, I went looking for a Sunday paper a
couple of years ago and I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Find Okay, I did it a couple of months ago,
and do you know what the do you know what
the tennessee and is charging for a Sunday paper. No,
it's like six bucks, no kidding.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
And I was there.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I'm like, you know, just for old time's sake, wouldn't
it be fun to go my two favorite Well, there's
three great newspapers, just to fold it back to the
subway on a subway, reading the paper at a breakfast
table at a breakfast restaurant. That's a great newspaper read,
and then on your your recliner with your cup of
(06:20):
coffee by side. Right, And so I'm thinking, I think
it's been thirty years since I've held.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
A newspaper in my hand. I'm gonna go get a newspaper.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Then when I saw it with six dollars, I just
couldn't do it, couldn't give it my six paper, not
even for a nostalgic trip.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Not even for all the circulars.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
So you all listening, what's the last time you held
a newspaper in your hand? When's the last time something
you read in the newspaper influenced how you believe?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
When's the last time.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
ABC, NBCCBSCNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, New York Times, whatever you
read has made a difference in how you vote. They're
all losing money. The ratings aren't anything to be worried about.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
You know, when.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Walter Cronkite did the six o'clock news, and he was
only one of three places you got news, so unless
you couldn't be near a television that was plugged in,
he had a one to three shot, and of course,
in Walter Cronkist's case, it was more than one and three.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
You were watching.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Them now, some of your most revered shows, they have
a couple, you know, few hundred thousand people watching. So
is it a big deal last night that at one
point Donald Trump had over a million people listening to
a conversation with him with Elon Musk where people are now?
(07:54):
And I might add that's live. It will bounce around
all day and all week until billions have heard a
portion of it. So I'm gonna do short work of
the easy partli. I mean, do you remember what we
(08:15):
went through with Don Lemon? How long did that linger?
That ricocheted for five months? Don Leon? Elon Muskin, of you,
I saw a clip the other day, just yesterday that
it is resurfaced.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
It's still surface it.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yeah, for whatever reason, it's hit my algorithm. So you
can run an ad anywhere on any show during the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
These people can try to steer the narrative and control
the narrative all day long. But over a million people
listen to this live and probably close to a billion
will hear Porsche and portions of it before it's over.
Barack Obama was probably the first to begin to use
(08:59):
digital and social media. This was a tremendous blow to
the Harris camp. And her biggest defense is just a
couple of rich guys trying to attack the middle class. Okay,
and then here's how it sounded. So the first thing,
how dare to and me, but she is not limited
(09:27):
by time more space. All right, So what was was
a glitch? You'll hear that all day. There's nobody that
won't introduce I don't have there's some kind of a
slam on e On. Elon Musker acts but ever after
some glitches, and they did. They had glitches. So this
is Elon Musk starting by explaining the glitches. But I
want you to hear the next thing he says.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
It's powerful.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
So my pledges for the late start. We unfortunately had
a massive distributed knowledge service attack against our servers.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I was just trying to send a piece of sound
back to the studio.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
To Jeffrey, and I was technically incapable. I have no
idea what he just said, but it sounds serious.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Jeffrey and saturated all all of our data lines, like basically,
hundreds of gigabites of data were saturated.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
You don't want that, by the way, hundreds and hundreds
of gigabytes saturated.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
That's not a good thing.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
We've we think we've overcome most of that, and so
it's not time to proceed. But as this massive attack illustrates,
there's a lot of opposition to people just hearing what
President Trump has to say.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Listen to the first of all, I find you know,
he's you can tell this is a very smart man
and his speech pattern is a brain that's going really
fast having to slow down to an incredible level just
to communicate. All right, So I'm fascinated by this guy
in general. I also make my living speaking. And I
can tell you some people would say, oh that this
(11:02):
guy shouldn't be hosting these kinds of things. He doesn't
have the he is the perfect host. He may be
the only good host left. What's it in the next
thirty five seconds?
Speaker 5 (11:12):
And so but I'm honored to have this conversation. I'd
want em size it's a it's a conversation, and it's
really intended to just get get a feel for what
Donald Trump is just like in a conversation. So it's
hard to catch a vibe about someone if you just
don't hear them token in a normal way. And when
(11:33):
you know, when when there's an adversarial interview, like no
one's themselves in adversarial interview. So for and this is
really and at kind of open minded independent voters who
they're just trying to make up their mind so.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
There he's addressing I need to right. But there there
he's addressing the notion that there are some that are
going to vote Democrats, no matter what they're in the
left side, those are going to vote for Donald Try
no matter what they're in the right silo For anybody
in between, or anybody that even though you've made up
your mind, you still have a brain wave, you still
have a sense of fairness and curiosity.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
This interviews for you. Wow.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
You know you could get rid of every television network,
every newspaper tomorrow and replace it with stuff like this,
and not only would I be happier, this nation would
be better off.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
How true is that? You know? People often.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Greatest interviewer ever, greatest commentator ever, Paul Harvey, greatest talk
show host ever in his prime, Rush Limbaugh, greatest interviewer ever.
Some would say ourt link letter and I get it,
and it's close. I'm gonna go. Larry King, Larry King
could get things out of Some might throw in Barbara
(12:55):
Walters or Oprah Winfrey. I wouldn't, but but they might.
For this very same reason. People will say things to
them they won't say to anybody else.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Where.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Larry King brought it to an art was you don't
even rememberim asking the question. I remember every question Megan
Kelly ever asked, not just the famous one to Donald Trump.
You don't even remember Larry King asking the question. And
he'd get the answer and the Peabody. The Peabody, you would,
(13:27):
and then he would go to Aqueduct and bet the
gray horse in the third race. No, but to make
a long story short, he was brilliant at that. But
nobody's ever put their finger on it. And I think
it was trust. What Elon Musk just said was so profound.
Nobody can be themself on ABC. If you're Donald Trump,
(13:48):
you can't sit down with any network and be yourself
because first and foremost you don't have any trust. Their adversaries.
They're there to destroy you, hurt you. You're never gonna
relax and be yourself. What I loved most, I know
you're looking at the clock, and I know you're looking
at me, and I can take a hint. What I
loved most was that Elon Musk was focused on us
(14:10):
and what would be useful to us, and he was
considerate of his guest and what keeps him from being
himself and wanting you to finally see him as himself
because you don't get to because he's always under attack.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I found that a heck of a lot more.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Useful than anything that's on television, anything in newspapers.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Quite frankly, some days anything on radio.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Must here, and it'll be ricocheting around for days, but
must understand today the Elon Musk visit with Donald Trump
and what it means when your morning show continues.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
This is your morning show with Michael Del Tuono.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I played a clip earlier, and you know this is
that time of the morning where so many alarm clocks
are going off.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
You might have missed it, And.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I thought the beginning was brilliant because the beginning gives
you the necessity and the intent.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Listen, we've we think we've overcome most of that, and
so it's not time to proceed. But as this massive
attack illustrates, there's a lot of opposition to people just
hearing what President Trump has to say.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
So the plan is to sit down with Donald Trump,
just like the plan was to have a rally in
Pennsylvania and someone's attacking to stop it. We joke around.
It seems like every time I'm doing something that's really significant,
something technical happens. I don't think that much of myself
to think anybody's targeting me. I know they're targeting Donald Trump.
(15:44):
In fact, one of my most laughable stories is that
the FBI is looking into all this hacking. You know,
the same FBI that couldn't solve the shooter on the roof.
You know, our cocain the White House, our coc in
the White House.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
You know.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Oh, I've feel better. The FBI is on it. Let's relax.
But all right, So, first and foremost, it was attacked
in the name of democracy. Somebody didn't want you to
hear this. And if you're lucky, it's aron attacking because
it could be your own country. Anyway, gets all that
(16:20):
cleared up after an hour of delays because somebody was
trying to block this event from happening, We're ready to begin.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Listen to what Elon Musk.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Says and so, but I'm honored to have this conversation.
I'd want emphasize it's a it's a conversation, and it's
really intended to just get get a feel for what
Donald Trump is, just like in a conversation. So it's
hard to catch a vibe about someone if you just
don't hear them token a normal way. And when you
(16:52):
know when this, when there's an adversarial interview, it's like
no one's themselves in adversarial interview. So for and this
is really aimed at kind of open minded independent voters who're.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Just trying to make up their mind.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
And so you can understand, like what is you know,
what is it just like to have a conversation.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
So I just thought that was, in its simplicity, so perfect.
We had a long conversation about what made Larry King Gray.
Trust was a big part of it. If I'm talking
to somebody, I trust on myself. If I'm sitting at
a table with somebody I don't trust, I am not myself.
In fact, I'm very guarded, maybe even a little defensive.
(17:41):
This guy may not be a professional broadcaster, but he
may be the Edward R. Murrow or the Walter Cronkite
of our generation. Just in his simplicity and honesty, you sense,
and I'm now, but you sense there's a side of
(18:02):
Donald Trump we never get to see. And Elon Musk
wanted desperately for you to see that this isn't a
wait for a gotcha attack interview. This is a conversation
for the few that still have an open mind and
(18:23):
a curious mind. If you're in the left or the
right silos, you're busy about your your business. But for
everybody in between, or even people like us, we're probably
leaning very heavily.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I'm voting for Donald Trump, but I can't speak for
you leading heavily.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
We still have an open mind, want to discuss things
and understand them. Now the proof would be in the
pudding at the end of the two hours, did you
see a different side of Donald Trump? Did you have
a a much more substanative, informative idea of what is
(19:04):
broken in his mind and what he plans to fix
and how?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
If so?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I would contend this is more useful than any debate
that's gonna happen. This is more useful than any time
on the internet, on social media or watching whether you
love Fox or CNN. I'll do you another one. This
(19:29):
is the mic drop. Are you ready? I sure hope
Elon Musk is just as interested in giving us the
unique opportunity to hear Kamala Harris as herself. Kamala Harris
discuss in long, substantive form what's happening to all of
(19:51):
us in America. Oh, by the way, I don't know
that you should hold your breath for that. So my
whole point this morning is look at Elon Musk, not
even a broadcaster. He is the silent in the Jack
Reacher movie with Tom Cruise, which is so formula, but
(20:14):
for some reason I buy in and enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
There's a great moment where.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
The sheriff who's going to arrest him and is about
to get arrested instead says, who the hell are you,
Tom Cruise, and very Jack Reacher style, I'm the one
you didn't count on. In the shadow campaign to Save
the Democracy too, Elon Musk is the one they didn't
(20:43):
count on because this time around, the very man who
was censored, remember in the shadow Campaign to Save the Democracy.
Time Magazine, February fifteenth, twenty twenty one. It is there.
Go read it for yourself. It is their manner festival
of how they stole the election, including Klan who ended
(21:05):
up being the chief of staff. I mean, these are
all the operatives of the Democrat Party telling you what
they did to you because they kept waiting for them
for there to be a big Watergate over it and
it never even happened. That's the shame. That's the difference
between nineteen seventy three and now. The media is dead
(21:27):
in America, is asleep at the wheel. We don't care
like we used to. But it never happened. Since Manifesto
is still out there floating and they haven't taken it down,
go read it. But they created the narrative because they
controlled the media. They silenced any opposing views, because they
controlled social media, and they weaponized COVID, change election laws,
(21:51):
harvested ballots, stole the election and swing precincts, and they
look it right in the eye and say, and we
did it because we had to to save democracy. And
by the way, if it hadn't work, they planned unarmed insurrection.
In fact, they even talk about shocked that they were
that they won. They had to call off the dogs,
and they were conditioning you for that insurrection with all
(22:14):
of the George Floyd stuff, all the Black Lives Matter
and all the Antifa. I asked David Zanadi about five
months ago, a very simple question. If they're planned the
first time, if they didn't win was insurrection, why should
we assume they're planned this time? If Kamala doesn't win,
(22:35):
won't be insurrection. So here I am painting you this
whole picture of how this is the only useful conversation
there is. This is your only way to sit with
a candidate without that middleman, the manipulative media, and hear
(22:57):
it from a candidate, What do you think their view
of it is? This was the question going on at
the White House in anticipation of this.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Listen. Elon Musk is.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
Slated to interview Donald Trump tomorrow tonight on on X.
I don't know if the President is going today. Go
free to say if he is or not.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
But I think that.
Speaker 6 (23:23):
Misinformation on Twitter is not just a campaign issue, it's
a you know, it's an America issue. What role does
the White House or the President have in sort of
stopping that, or stopping the spread.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Of that, or sort of intervening in that.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
You should be staring at your radio going did I
did he just say that?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
That is a Washington Post reporter.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Nobody buys newspapers trying to control the narrative, control the
outcome of the election, knowing they head into this one
without X, without Twitter and the owners interviewing Trump, and
he's asking the White House Press Secretary, What does the
President plan to do to stop this? Because obviously anything
(24:13):
that has no use for the Washington Post or necessarily
ensure as a Democrat victory could possibly be legal an American,
it must be misinformation. Welcome to the Divided States of America,
where journalism is dead. The races are rigged, and not
(24:35):
from without, but from within. For those of you that
can handle the truth.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Hey, gang, it's me Michael.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
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, Tupelow's News
and Talk one on one point one and ten sixty WKMQ,
and how about Talk six to fifty Ksteans Zacramento, California.
Love to have you listen live, but are grateful you're
(25:03):
here now for the podcast. Enjoy this is your morning show.
I'm Michael del Jorna if you're just waking up. Several
states planned to hold primaries on this primary Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Mark Mayfield has to Tail Bowers.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
We'll go to the polls Tuesday in Connecticut, Minnesota, Vermont
and Wisconsin. In Minnesota, Progressive congress Woman Elin Omar will
defend her seat against former Minneapolis City council member Don Samuels.
The contest comes after two other members of the so
called Progressive Squad, Jamal Bowman and Corey Bush, lost their
Democratic primaries this cycle. In Wisconsin, Republicans will choose a
(25:35):
candidate to run against Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin, who is
running for a third Senate term.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Well, they felt the earth move under
their feet in southern California yesterday. Brian Shook has more.
The magnitude four point four quake was centered in South Pasadena,
and Eric says he was having lunch when it hit.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
It was really quick and it was it felt like
something fell. It didn't feel like there was shaken it.
It was more like a whambam. It hit at twelve
twenty Monday afternoon local time. The USGS sent out an
automated warning to cell phone seconds before the earthquake hit.
There are no reports of injuries. I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
How perfect is it to have Brian Shook to the
earthquake story.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Barbara streisand not to be outdone.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
By Elon Musk's conversation with Donald Trump. He Barbara Streisan
will be a guest speaker for a virtual group call
this week supporting Kamala Harris for president. According to the
website the Jewish Women for Kamala.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Just let that soak in for a second. Jewish Women
Kamala call it an all open to all genders and
all Jewish allies. Of course, Kamala, like Joe Biden, has
an Israel problem.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
The one hour call is scheduled for Thursday at eight
o'clock Eastern time. Those interested can join the call by
registering to Mobilize dot website. I may have to. I
may have to sign up for that call. Wouldn't that
be fun to be on?
Speaker 8 (27:09):
All?
Speaker 7 (27:10):
Right?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Where are the best places to live? Let's do states
for five hundred, Aaron Rayelle, I hope mine's on there. Tennessee.
Speaker 8 (27:19):
Well, I'm gonna give you the top ten and then
we can go to the bottom fen and I'll tell
you that Tennessee. So top ten. This is interesting and
I think you'll like it, Michael, because it's like a mixture.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
It's usually just.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
All one area or all red or all blue. We
have Massachusetts, Florida, New Jersey, Utah, New Hampshire, Idaho, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
New York, Wyoming.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Was that blue red blue red blue blue.
Speaker 8 (27:41):
Yes, And I was like, wow, maybe they got it
right this time, Like that's kind of incredible to see
what's here, what's there? How this all played out? Tennessee
number thirty three, so like middle ish and this is
the worst. Louisiana, I'm sorry, always seems to find it
out there. But New Mexico, Arkansas, Alaska, Nevada, Mississippi, Oklahoma,
(28:04):
South Carolina, Oregon, and Arizona the top.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Yeah, quite a few of our you have already showed
cities there towards the bottom there.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
What is the matrix for this that they're using.
Speaker 8 (28:14):
It's very comprehensive. House housing costs, income growth, education, quality
of hospitals, poverty rates, ownership of homes. Like it is comprehensive.
Average weekly work hours. Apparently Utah has the lowest and
North Dakota has the highest.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
But yeah, it's they.
Speaker 8 (28:34):
Even look like restaurants per capita, which is why I
think you found a place like Florida so high. And
if you look at Florida, what we know.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
Is it has.
Speaker 8 (28:42):
It's the state with the lowest unemployment rate at two
point nine percent. It also has multiple ways for leisure
times because like it does matter, this is if you're
deciding the best state to live in your building your life,
you have to balance cost of living with withme and
with quality of life. It's imperative.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Well, I lived in Oklahoma for twenty years and people
were very impressed with how wide we were a reference
to Wait, we had a restaurant. We had more restaurants
than we had citizens, and they were all full. Tennessee,
of course, is a very wide state in terms of
Memphis to Gatlinburg, and it's very very different. I mean,
(29:24):
the terrain is very Memphis looks very different from Nashville
and Knoxville and Gatlinburg look even far different from Nashville.
Very very beautiful state. I'm a defendant, but what I'm
getting at is major cities in terms of education, poverty,
so on, and so forth, crime that's going to pull
some of these states down out of the top five
(29:47):
if they've got a couple of problem areas. Memphis is
seemingly a problem area for us. I wonder how much
that influences this, especially for some of these very diverse states.
Speaker 8 (29:57):
I mean it does, but not as much as you
would think given that like Chusetts and Florida are number
one and two and New York makes the top ten.
So it's like, I guess, yes, cities bring it down,
but cities also offer better generally higher paid jobs.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
That's just you know, the yah. But the cost of
living is so high that that's really misleading.
Speaker 8 (30:16):
I again, yes, agree with you completely, but they also
tend to have like let me give you an example
of New Jersey. It has the highest median household income
in the country over ninety six thousand, and it has
the fifth lowest share of the population below the poverty line,
eighth lowest food and security. Many people in New Jersey
commute to New York, so that kind of bumps it up.
(30:37):
It also has h one of the sixth it's the
six lowest so b CD rate ten best overall life
expectancy shocking when you drive through New Jersey the entry
and you're like, this does not seem healthy. But yeah,
so also the sixth lowest violent crime. All of these
things add to quality of life if you're and you're right,
which is like cities if you're walking out and you're
scared you're gonna get shanky.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Your quality of life is clearly lower. You use an
old fashioned prison shank as you're a reference here. You're
a tough girl. Yes you carry You're a scusey girl.
All right. By the way, I'm just curious because I
can never find a place I want to live more
than where I am. I think about maybe something in
upstate New York for a couple of months a year,
in New York City a couple of months a year.
I'm curious about Ohio. And I love the state of Missouri.
(31:20):
I love Saint Louis, I love Kansas City. Where Missouri
end up on that list?
Speaker 8 (31:25):
Missouri? Let me look, I didn't have that one where
I wasn't prepared. I will find this very quiet thought.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Well you'll be back. We can do it next hour
when you're back.
Speaker 8 (31:31):
But yeah, yeah, because you never Missouri thirty.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
One thirty one, So right where I'm at in the
Tennessee zone, all right. Yeah, it's hard when you think
of places you live other than where you're at. I
can't top Tennessee. So what am I thirty something on
your list? Number one on mine? We'll go from there.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
