Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's me Michael. You can listen to your morning

great radio stations like Talk six fifty KSTE and Sacramento
or one oh four nine The Patriot in Saint Louis
and Impact Radio one oh five nine and twelve fifty
w h d Z in Tampa, Florida. Sure hope you
(00:22):
can join us live and make us a part of
your morning routine. In the meantime, enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Well two three starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understeaming. Not because
we're listen to give This is your morning show with
Michael dell Shorn.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Your morning show is heard on great radio stations like
one oh five nine WA gen Z, Impact Radio in Tampa, Florida,
one of my favorites, KFYI and Phoenix, Arizona. And I'm
at my home away from home Freedom one oh four
point nine The Patriot in the in Saint Louis. I
start feeling at home when I see the arch. Last night,
(01:05):
I had a little Linguinian clam sauce on the hill
at Mama's Restaurant. Life is good. It's even better now.
My senior contributor and my friend David Sinat, he's here
for a little DC with DZ. David. There's a lot
of things. We can talk about anything, but I wanted
to start with there's been a lot of from Republicans
(01:28):
little internal. I was watching some podcasts or listening to
some podcasts and watching some of the stories. Some Republicans
concerned that Donald Trump is getting off message. And I
get that because he just simply cannot talk about the
economy enough. He simply cannot talk about the border enough.
He simply can't ask the question how was your life
four years ago compared to today? But is he getting off message?
(01:51):
And by doing so playing right into the Harris campaign
narrative games. The Dems are heading into their convention. Everything
looks like a show or high and Kumbaya. We're just
now finally getting to Kamala Harris unveiling her economic plan
even though she secured the nomination. That seems a little backwards.
That's like finding out what's in the bill after you
pass it. But nineteen sixty eight just keeps looming in
(02:15):
the background and churning along. I guess my opening question
for you is, as crazy, and I mean crazy as
things are today like they were in nineteen sixty eight,
is there a silent center out there today like there
was in sixty eight that Nixon reached and spoke directly
to because that may be the solution for Donald Trump.
(02:36):
And with that, I say, good morning.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Good morning, Michael, wonderful experian Saint Louis today. How's the
weather there this morning?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
We're actually cool outside? Is cool inside the studio. We're
in the dark to try to keep things cool down.
But weather's weather's great, green days in concert tomorrow night.
The Dodgers are at bushy. Life is good in Saint Louis.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I have to kick up with you because it's happening
so fast. I don't know, so I know we have
limited time, but give me just a second. How many
cities now? As your morning sure grown too?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Well, we're stuck at twenty five for another week, and
we'll tell everybody in a week why.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
But things are so there's another okay, wonderful, Well, well, congratulations,
I'm going from one to twenty five. In brief order,
and I know that you love working with iHeart, and
I'm guessing that there are people now in twenty five
cities and some more that are coming. They are very
grateful to have this kind of programming. I know I enjoy.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Listening very very much, so I can think that I
want to.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Talk about it out loud. So I'm just kind of curious.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, well, I didn't want to.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I can't get into some exciting information that's coming in
the Day's that. No, what I was going to say is,
you know, any several of these stations. There's not there's
many of them, but several of them. Any one of
them I'd be happy at and living in their great cities.
And the notion that you and we all get a
chance to all be family together and then take trips
and be there and meet the staffs, it's just bizarre.
(04:08):
I'd move my family and live in Saint Louis tomorrow
and work with Tony and John and all the great
people here. But I'm just quadruply, quadruply, quadruply blessed, So
it's kind of fun to do.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
But I do know, directly to your question, is there
a silent center out there? Because I think the silent
center are the people that are listening to your morning show,
people that are basically working for a living, people who
are plenty smart in this life and experienced with families
and cares and concerns across all socio economic platforms. It
(04:44):
has nothing to do with color of people's skin. It
has to do with reality. And there are people who
are looking for reality. They know the real world, they
live in it every day, and they know there's a
vast distension between what they're getting from political camp and
the corporate media. And I screwed my heart from that
(05:05):
because of your morning show. But by and large, we're
talking about everything else that's out there, Michael. In regards
to the big corporations that own and control television and
print and social media, we're talking about one of the
biggest campaign stands we've ever seen. I can only liken
it to this fun time campaign. I mean, we basically
(05:28):
have turned a presidential election into summer camp. It's just
like everyone's giddy, wearing T shirts and excited about just
having fun. I mean with The Washington Post actually came
out with an article this week saying the beautiful thing
about the Harris campaign is she's brought fun back to politics.
(05:48):
Ron and said, wait a second, who's happening fun here? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I'm not having fun.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
No.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And then the other one they've been really trying to
peddle on this, and this comes from Tim Walls, the
same one that coined the phrase there the other guys
are weird, is she's brought joy back. They're going to
try to sell this convention as bringing joy and unity
and fun back. And maybe somewhere along the line, or
maybe not at all, will they ever get to policies
(06:14):
things that are broke, Things they actually broke, let alone
need to be fixed. But you know, the reason I
bring up Nixon is because I do think twenty twenty
four is frighteningly late Night nineteen sixty eight, although I
sense it could be even worse, you know, And part
of that suggestion is maybe there isn't so many of
us here in the silent center. But the notion was,
(06:38):
while everybody is extremely fighting over all these you know,
handful of things that divide us, and assassinations and presidents
stepping out of races, there's a silent center that Nixon
talked to, and his speech would have been famous if
his career didn't in disgrace after Watergate was talking to
the Silent Center in America that you know what, loves
(06:59):
their wife one to go to work today, loves their
children and want to just be able to get by
and provide and be better tomorrow and handoff a better
future to their children. And I don't know about anybody else,
but when I watch all this and it doesn't matter.
Sometimes it's Trump on X with Musk or doing a rally.
A lot of times it's Kamala and Tim Walls, I'm
(07:21):
just like, is any hey over here? Is anybody going
to focus on what matters? We the people and this
inflation and this economy and this clear and present danger
of a porest border and a holy war that is escalating.
I mean, hello, And you just wonder is it out there?
And you're right, it could be that the campaigns produce it,
the media produces it, then we get on social media
(07:43):
and join it, and it's very dysfunctional and very non productive, and.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
It's very difficult to predict. I've got the two seventy
to win map up today and looking at it all week.
There are other pieces and parts of this that we
can get into as well, so the processing of this
election and what states it's really coming down to, and
what states it's coming down to right now. But one
thing about sixty eight that's different is the anti war
(08:10):
movement was not controllable by the Democrat Party. And as
you uncovered and we talked about at great length of
the shadow campaign to save democracy in the twenty twenty race,
the Democratic Operatives, the Center for American Progress and all
of their affiliates had control over the protesters and they
(08:34):
could either mobilize them based on the election results or
pull them back. At this stage in the game, you're
talking about the Democrat Convention, it appears that the Stars
World controls all the elements of protests. The exception might
be the anti Israeli protesters. So we don't know if
they can create enough trouble for the Democrat Convention to
(08:58):
get it off the rails. But they were the only ones.
Everyone else is going to fall in line as they
did in twenty twenty because right now the theme is
happy days are here again, and they don't want to
protest change set.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
So although go ahead, I was just saying, although I
will add, by the way, sixteen minutes after the hour
talking with David Sanadi, the CEO of the American Policy
Roundtable and host of The Public Square and a frequent
senior contributor of your morning show. Even in saying that,
I would say you kind of touched on it, because
in nineteen sixty eight, it was Mayor Daily telling the
(09:32):
Democrat Party, I'll keep everything under control, there'll be no
drunken riots in the streets, and then he couldn't, and
the blood flowed on Michigan Avenue and the fighting made
its way into the convention hall. So that too, was
very much like nineteen sixty eight. But yeah, that was
you know what I want to say to you. There's
all this sugar high, all this joy, all this fun,
all this coronation, all this kumbaia. Is that momentum going
(09:56):
to continue when they get to Chicago or be disrupted
by the war in the Middle eas he's disrupted by
the protesters on the street, or maybe not go so
kombay yah, when they start having to know at least
start saying something about what they're going to do, which
they've yet to have to do. You can't even you
go to our website, you can't even get where she
(10:16):
stands on an issue, it's nowhere on the website.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Well, it's remarkable, and this is because in nineteen sixty
eight there was a Democrat Party that functioned on the ground.
Today the Democrat Party is run from the desk of
John Podessa in the White House and the Center for
American Progress and the network of billionaires that controls every
aspect of the Democrat Party. If you go on to
the Center for American Progress, as website is we've been
(10:42):
encouraging people to do, and when they go, they're shocked,
really to look at a website that says we're just
not here to change the debate, We're here to change
the nation. And then you go on their contributors page,
starting with the billion dollar people and working the way down,
you see everybody's there. The entire Democrat READI is there,
major corporations are there. Everybody's on board, and the control
(11:05):
factor is much different. This is a totally scripted event.
And so I don't think we're going to see a
breakout at the convention. I really don't. And if it is,
it's going to be isolated. It won't get anywhere near
the hall, and it certainly won't get anywhere near the
media that we'll be covering. Happy days are here again.
And in this sun Sign campaign.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
We always say life is best understood looking back, but
unfortunately must be lived looking forward. Nineteen sixty eight gives
us kind of a view of what the future could
potentially look like, right to Biden leaving like LBJ left
right to an assassination attempt or in sixty eight. It
was successful on RFK. But you bring up how they're
all kind of in it together, and that is a
(11:48):
changing factor. That's that matrix we're living in that didn't
exist in nineteen sixty eight. There were legitimate people that
thought we never should have gone to Vietnam. John F.
Kennedy probably would have been one of them that he lived.
But then it was not going well and losing, and
then there was people that believe we should have gone,
(12:08):
but now we should come home. So that was growing,
and they had their own candidate in McCarthy. Then after
LBJ step down, you have that vice president his Kamalao
Hubert Humphrey. Then you had RFK was kind of for
the people. But I get back to this messaging for
Donald Trump. Nixon cut through talking to the silent center.
(12:30):
Is Trump getting too far off message and playing all
these other games and he should just keep pounding on
the economy, pounding on the border, pounding on peace through strength,
and people not misbehaving on the world stage, and the
simple question was your life better off four years ago?
I mean, I'm not the people that are attacking Trump
(12:53):
and saying he's off message. I don't want to agree with,
but I have to almost they they have gotten tremendously
off message and got very reactive to this sugar high
and narrative opponent. Seems like it to me, But I
don't know. You haven't definitively answered if you think he's
(13:14):
drifting a little bit off message, well, I.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Think that it's in a bigger question than that. I
think it's where it's his attention. It's let alone, where
his messaging is. Because it seems to me that Donald
Trump remains so endeared to his methodology talking to his
base that he doesn't realize that he has to win
an election in three critical states. He has to win
in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, and if he doesn't do
(13:40):
well in those three states, he cannot win this election.
And so going into those states relentlessly in every method
of media possible, whether it's online, whether it's cable, whether
it's through social media, personal appearances. His entire team should
be living in those three states, and if they need
any more places to go, be Nevada in Arizona. When
(14:03):
you look at the map, that's what it all comes
down to. And I don't see a ground being and
a candidate that is engaged at that level and having
an event with Musk, which is very, very powerful. Hundreds
of millions of people are creating their counters looking at
this stuff around the world. The problem is if you
tick off the UAW anymore in Michigan, I mean, you
just can't afford to lose any votes in that in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada,
(14:29):
and Arizona. And if that's not what their message is,
then they're missing the whole game.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Then they're going to be bullseye. All right, last question. Obviously,
Kamala Harris isn't defining anything, and so far they're pulling off,
hiding her and playing side.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
I'm excuse me, sir, I object, I object your honor.
She's defining fun.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
It's funny, joyful, oh, joyful. Yeah, no, But I mean,
but sooner or later, you would think she's got to
do an interview. Sooner or later, she's got to put
some substance in her speech and on her website. You know,
sooner or later she's got a debate. But what we're
seeing is them pulling her off. They're just hiding her
in plain sight the way they hit Joe Biden. But
they don't. They're doing it without COVID. They got the
(15:14):
media back on their side. That can help. But I mean,
at some point, does Kamala Harris have to come back
to center. We see that with the Okay, I'm for
no taxation on tips too, and everybody made fun of
that for copycatting. But it might have worked and there
might be more to come.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Well, the debates will be a big deal. That's that's
that's a point of fact, and there's things that they're
still going to leet happen. But the reason that the
momentum is so strong isn't just a change. It's that
the one key that people seem to be in every way,
it's orchestrated this entire process to put her on the
shortest field that a nominee has ever seen in a
campaign voting begins in less than a month, and she's
(15:54):
not even officially the nominee yet, and she'll be on
such a shield that they can keep the fun time
campaign going by the time past the votes will already
be in. Michael, it's a short field we've never seen before.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chuno, enjoying
my time here at one O four nine. The Patriot
in Saint louis just one of our many your morning
show cities. It's thirty six minutes after the hour. Thanks
for waking up with us on the air and streaming
live on your iHeart app. It's your Morning Show, and
I'm Michael del Jorna. Well, there are more and more
(16:29):
divorces now. Usually I would think, and I have a
doctor who's an expert that probably will tell me. But
I thought financial problems were always a leading costs of divorce.
I didn't know partisan political fights could literally lead to divorce.
I have a season's couple's coach, a New York Time
bestselling author, doctor Warren Ferrell, who's joining us on how
(16:52):
to keep a divided country from dividing our family. Doctor,
good morning, it's great to have you on the.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Show Good Morning. I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
So look, my wife and I are soulmates, best friends.
I can never love my kids more than I love her.
We are harmonious. Life is wonderful. You'd hate us if
you knew us. Even we have every now and then
a little difference on opinions about certain politicians. I can
think of a couple issues. She leans a little left
of me. But I mean the kind of things that
(17:21):
would lead to divorce might tell me that these people
never had more in common and always had you know,
I'm in opposites a tract, but they make each other miserable.
Can really similar well married people find a divorce through politics.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Well, sometimes it is a representative of sort of a
deeper set of issues, but it's mainly feeling like we're
bringing up our children, and you know, he loves Trump
and she loves Kamala Harris and Tim Malls and so
there's a real feeling of, you know, are our values
the same? How are we going to bring up our children?
(18:01):
And and that's that becomes the sort of in a
way a crucial issue. But it's it's also not feeling heard,
and you know, why are you in favor of this
you know, dictator personality. Why are you in favor of
this sort of woke cancel culture woman? And and you know,
there's something fundamentally different about us and how we're going
(18:22):
to talk to our kids about it, and and basically
very few people know how to really hear each other
without becoming defensive. So instead of trying to look for, say,
the best virtues in somebody's way of looking at the world, say,
let's say you're say, say your daughter comes back from
(18:43):
college and you've you know, you're a man who's a dad,
who's conservative, and you've been working hard to keep your
family together and your daughters, let's say the first person
that's gone to college and and you and you realize
that when she came back into Thanksgiving, she's talking about
how important the feminist movement is and why you're the
oppressor and you're part of the patriarchy and.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
You meanwhile, the dad and the son are saying, could
you go get me some more asparagus instead? Yeah? But
I could, Yeah, I see how that can happen. Well.
The other thing is doctor social media too, right, because
they're on social media living in a matrix with people
that think like they think, read what they read, watch
what they watch, listen to what they listen to. They're
just sharing these narratives back and forth, and they're probably
(19:27):
communicating more with like minded partisan people on social media
than they're communicating with their spouse, Right, that's.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Absolutely the course. The algorithm of social media reinforces that.
And then maybe one's reading the New York Times and
the other ones reading the Epic Times.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Oh my, go.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Absolutely certain that they're right, and the other one is
sort of like there's something's fundamentally wrong with them. But
so what it brings up is this that neither one
feels heard by the other. And the purpose of My
Rolemate to Solmate book and the workshops from which it
derived is it was I found that the single biggest
(20:04):
challenge for human beings is our inability to handle personal
criticism without becoming defensive. And so as our partner is speaking,
we tend to sort of get do what I call
self listening, that is, listen to ourselves, figure out what response,
what flaw they have, maybe even how we can distort
that flaw to make a better argument on our side.
(20:26):
And the other person doesn't feel heard, so you often
hear people saying I've told you a hundred times that,
and they've told you a hundred times, or you accuse
them of nagging, and at part because they haven't felt
heard any of those hundred times. And so what I
developed and so that was the that was what inspired
the role Made to Soulmate book, was that no one
(20:47):
had figured out how to be able to handle personal
criticism without becoming defensive. And almost every couple begins to
sort of feel like they have to walk on eggshells
in order to bring up some topic, wait for the
right time, the right moment, and the right mood, and
then maybe I can say this, and how gently can
I say this? And in the meantime, people start feeling
(21:10):
stressed and they often start drinking or staying out at
the office later, or you know, just you know, disappearing
to a woman friends, or taking care of the children
more than they otherwise need to be taken care of,
over protecting them, because after all, it's a lot better
than dealing with my husband or my wife. And so
this is so what I developed is to is a
(21:31):
way of people setting aside two hours a week to
be able to first know how to appreciate each other
at five levels of specificity. That is not just say
I loved you you're a great cook, but also say
you know, I love you the way you made the
skin on that turkey so crisp, or the way you
(21:53):
and the way you made them the dressing so moist,
so that a person feels not just oh, you're a
great cook. General.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Yeah, that's not, that's doc, that's not. That's not going
to work at my house because it's usually my son
that is making the perfect dinner and not the mother.
But no, but I digress. Yeah, but no, but you
brought up something earlier because we've only got about a
minute left. But I think this really gets to it,
and that is values and beliefs and and of course
(22:20):
values can be an order, right, So I can change
you completely by changing the order of your values. Like Bill,
values matter, but then values have to have beliefs associated
with them that define those values. So Bill Clinton may
have the same value for marriage as I do, but
he certainly doesn't have the same rules or didn't so,
But but the rules for the values, the order of
(22:41):
the values, and that should all be worked out before
you've chosen to marry that person, but they can actually
move as people get older together. But how we're letting
all this political fighting that used to stay in the
belt Way to consume all of our lives, get into
our workforce, get into our friendship, get into our marriage
(23:01):
is beyond me. Sometimes when my wife wants to bring
up things, she thinks I'm not listening. But the reality is,
I don't want to have a talk show after I
get off the air, and I don't want this cancer
ever entering our relationship. You know, sometimes doctor, the answer
is just obey and repent and just don't allow it,
Isn't it not?
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Really? When you when you ignore certain things, you leave out.
People often say, you know that Thanksgiving and ignore religion
and politics. But religion and politics they reflect the values
that we have, and when we love somebody, we want
to know their values and so but most people say
ignore these because they're going to only cause you know,
(23:47):
they're only going to cause trouble. In our family. We
have one very strong Jump supporter and one woman who
ran for as a Democrat for political office and stuff,
and they can't hear each other at all, and so
trying to get them to set aside time to know
how to first appreciate each other. Second, let them let
each other know that they you appreciate, that they care,
(24:09):
and that they're not apathetic. And caring and not being
apathetic is core to what a democracy is about, much
more so than being apathetic. And then and then hearing
the virtue behind the what what they feel is a vice.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
But if someone's listening right now and there for Trump,
the wife's for for Harris, they don't agree on any
issue from abortion to life from uh, you know, and
you're saying there's still a way too, because I think
they got much bigger problems in the next president. Is
at that point.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
My wife and I are opposites attract but by hearing
each other in the way that you know this, We
set aside a time each week if we need it,
to hear exactly what the other person is saying and feeling.
And I let her know what I'm hearing her say,
and I ask ask her if I've distorted anything, ask
her if I've missed anything, ask her if she wants
(25:03):
to add anything, and I hear her story fully. And
when I hear her story in her way of looking
at it, the world, I don't have to agree with it.
I could just be there for her. She knows I
hear it fully, and then she does the same for me.
That just leaves us. That leaves us with the complementary
ways of looking at the world where we can get
(25:24):
where we can fit the best pieces together. But if
we didn't have that, opposites attract would often lead to
you know what, I often say, opposites attract.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
They just can't leave you a lawyer. It leads us
to a lawyer. All right, So Rolemate to Soulmate is
the book. It's a New York Times bestseller. I'm going
to hang up and I'm going to praise God, thank
God every day for my wife that I don't have
this challenge. But if some of you do, this book
can help. Doctor Warren Ferrel, thanks so much for joining us.
(25:52):
I can't believe this is actually now leading to divorces,
but it shouldn't shock me that.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
It is really nice to talk with you.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
A great day. Thanks for getting up early with us
forty six minutes after the hour, time for your top
five stories of the day. Well, believe it or not,
Vice President Kamala Harris is about to unveil her economic
policies it's the number one issue in this campaign. She
already has the nomination locked up, and now she's gonna
(26:22):
tell us what she's gonna do. So why have they
been loving her so much so far? Mark Mayfield has more.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
It will be the first policy centered speech by the
Democratic presidential nominee since she entered the race for the
White House after President Biden withdrew. The Harris campaign said
the vice president will outline a plan to lower costs
for middle class families and to take on corporate price gouging.
Over the weekend, Harris said she supports eliminating taxes on tips,
a position also held by former President Trump.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Speaking of Trump, He's headed back to
the same county in Pennsylvania where he was shot. Brian
Shook has that story.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
GOP nominee will go back to Butler County this October.
The former president says he will also be at a

(28:18):
had friends of ours that were that way. They would say,
we need to get together for dinner. I said, well,
let me know when next thing. And I start getting
texts how about December of twenty six? And I'm like,
are you serious? But for those of you that want
to put it on a calendar, Frozen three has said
its release date November twenty fourth, twenty twenty seven. Baseball

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Hey, this is John wattson my morning show.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno. I am
Michael del Jorno, and this is your morning show. We're
joined by a very disrespectful younger brother, Rory O'Neil to
talk about the inflation. We're gonna get the the numbers
PROBA eight thirty Eastern, which would be two minutes ago.
Oh it did come in, okay, yeah, eight thirties at
(29:25):
seven thirties central. Okay, So what were they.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Right?
Speaker 1 (29:29):
In line with expectations.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
Consumer prices up two tenths of one point in July,
so that puts the annual inflation rate I think at
two point nine percent.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Yeah, we need to get to two.
Speaker 7 (29:39):
Economists have been expecting well right, well defined two is
it two point zero two point two, two point three.
But there are growing concerns about the labor market versus
the inflation numbers. You know, you'll see that a lot
more talk that the Fed may have to start being
more aggressive out of concerns that we've seen a pretty
solid game in unp deployment. We never got the participation
(30:02):
number back up to where it was pre COVID, so
that the Fed does have a dual man data of
keeping inflation low and employment high.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
While it's easy for Rory to explain to us off
sides in soccer, as a soccer ref explain to people
how that unemployment is actually good news for what they're
looking for now. The two tenths tick up and inflation
is not good news. But they kind of want to
see unemployment rise a little right.
Speaker 7 (30:26):
Well a little bit, because this would give the Fed
a bit more free reign to lower those interest rates
when they meet next month, and is it a quarter.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Point coming down? Is it a half point coming down?
Speaker 7 (30:37):
A lot more voices saying, look, Fed, you were too
slow when we got into this cycle of inflation, and
you were late to the game when it came to
raising interest rates to try to control things. Now on
the downside, where seeing things softening, a lot of companies
are warning about softer times ahead. We're seeing the unemployment
numbers start to creep up. So the suggestion is, hey, Fed,
(30:59):
don't make them stake you made going into this. You
should be aggressive coming out of this in order to
prevent a greater unemployment problem.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
You know. Lost in all of this is this reality.
While we're measuring this two tenth and two point nine
percent inflation, what we're really feeling is the inflation since COVID,
and that's near twenty to thirty percent in a lot
of sectors. So this is I mean, they keep saying, well,
we'd feel better about doing it next month. These numbers
(31:29):
don't indicate any rate cuts are coming next month, not
based on the formula that we've been sold anyway.
Speaker 7 (31:36):
I would disagree on that, but I would say that
to your point about we're not talking about deflation all
we're saying is things aren't getting as more expensive as
fast as they had been, just that the rate.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Of the increase has slowed.
Speaker 7 (31:49):
We're not saying that, you know, Hamburger has suddenly come
down to ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Cents a pound.
Speaker 7 (31:54):
What we're saying is that it's not getting up to
nine ninety nine pound as fast as it had been.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Yeah, but they had kicked around the number of two percent.
And I know, I know what you're saying is have
to be that's kind of like refinancing your home.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
You know.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
We think that somewhere around four point eight people will start,
you know, putting their houses on the market and start
making some movement. The Fed's always kind of indicated that
they need to be closer to two than they need
to be closer to three, And right now they're closer
to three. Hey, here's something we can all look for.
But on the right trajectory, Yeah, go to the right direction.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
And that's what may give them, that's what may give
them cover saying all right, it's a two nine but
coming down faster, and we think and then the PPI
number was lower than expected yesterday on the wholesale side,
which is good.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
So it's yeah, you may have the impetus. You don't
expect any market reaction today to this. It's been mixed
because this is what we expected. We saw a big
jump up yesterday. The traders liked the fact that the
PPI came in colder. So the fact that the CPI
is where we expected it'll be good.
Speaker 7 (32:51):
Tip it.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
I love all sports. I don't really particularly care for
the Super Bowl because they've ruined it, but I love
NFL playoffs, I love March Madness. Yes, I really love
the Masters, and I really love the Little League World Series.
This is so pure, these young talented kids. The journey
begins today. Are you a big lit League World Series watcher?
Speaker 7 (33:11):
Not particularly, But I don't get that, like school started
already for them.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
But back in class, Rory, I used to not go
to school and have the nerve to show up in
my car at three o'clock and go right to the
baseball locker room and show up for practice. I get that.
I love the kids that are playing ball. I'm ready
for Little League. All right, Rory, great reporting. We'll talk
again tomorrow. Have a great day. We're all in this together.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Well two three starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understeaming. Not because
we're listen to give This is your morning show with
Michael dell Shorn.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Your morning show is heard on great radio stations like
one oh five nine WA gen Z, Impact Radio in Tampa, Florida,
one of my favorites, KFYI and Phoenix, Arizona. And I'm
at my home away from home Freedom one oh four
point nine The Patriot in the in Saint Louis. I
start feeling at home when I see the arch. Last night,
(01:05):
I had a little Linguinian clam sauce on the hill
at Mama's Restaurant. Life is good. It's even better now.
My senior contributor and my friend David Sinat, he's here
for a little DC with DZ. David. There's a lot
of things. We can talk about anything, but I wanted
to start with there's been a lot of from Republicans
(01:28):
little internal. I was watching some podcasts or listening to
some podcasts and watching some of the stories. Some Republicans
concerned that Donald Trump is getting off message. And I
get that because he just simply cannot talk about the
economy enough. He simply cannot talk about the border enough.
He simply can't ask the question how was your life
four years ago compared to today? But is he getting off message?
(01:51):
And by doing so playing right into the Harris campaign
narrative games. The Dems are heading into their convention. Everything
looks like a show or high and Kumbaya. We're just
now finally getting to Kamala Harris unveiling her economic plan
even though she secured the nomination. That seems a little backwards.
That's like finding out what's in the bill after you
pass it. But nineteen sixty eight just keeps looming in
(02:15):
the background and churning along. I guess my opening question
for you is, as crazy, and I mean crazy as
things are today like they were in nineteen sixty eight,
is there a silent center out there today like there
was in sixty eight that Nixon reached and spoke directly
to because that may be the solution for Donald Trump.
(02:36):
And with that, I say, good morning.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Good morning, Michael, wonderful experian Saint Louis today. How's the
weather there this morning?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
We're actually cool outside? Is cool inside the studio. We're
in the dark to try to keep things cool down.
But weather's weather's great, green days in concert tomorrow night.
The Dodgers are at bushy. Life is good in Saint Louis.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I have to kick up with you because it's happening
so fast. I don't know, so I know we have
limited time, but give me just a second. How many
cities now? As your morning sure grown too?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Well, we're stuck at twenty five for another week, and
we'll tell everybody in a week why.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
But things are so there's another okay, wonderful, Well, well, congratulations,
I'm going from one to twenty five. In brief order,
and I know that you love working with iHeart, and
I'm guessing that there are people now in twenty five
cities and some more that are coming. They are very
grateful to have this kind of programming. I know I enjoy.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Listening very very much, so I can think that I
want to.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Talk about it out loud. So I'm just kind of curious.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, well, I didn't want to.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I can't get into some exciting information that's coming in
the Day's that. No, what I was going to say is,
you know, any several of these stations. There's not there's
many of them, but several of them. Any one of
them I'd be happy at and living in their great cities.
And the notion that you and we all get a
chance to all be family together and then take trips
and be there and meet the staffs, it's just bizarre.
(04:08):
I'd move my family and live in Saint Louis tomorrow
and work with Tony and John and all the great
people here. But I'm just quadruply, quadruply, quadruply blessed, So
it's kind of fun to do.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
But I do know, directly to your question, is there
a silent center out there? Because I think the silent
center are the people that are listening to your morning show,
people that are basically working for a living, people who
are plenty smart in this life and experienced with families
and cares and concerns across all socio economic platforms. It
(04:44):
has nothing to do with color of people's skin. It
has to do with reality. And there are people who
are looking for reality. They know the real world, they
live in it every day, and they know there's a
vast distension between what they're getting from political camp and
the corporate media. And I screwed my heart from that
(05:05):
because of your morning show. But by and large, we're
talking about everything else that's out there, Michael. In regards
to the big corporations that own and control television and
print and social media, we're talking about one of the
biggest campaign stands we've ever seen. I can only liken
it to this fun time campaign. I mean, we basically
(05:28):
have turned a presidential election into summer camp. It's just
like everyone's giddy, wearing T shirts and excited about just
having fun. I mean with The Washington Post actually came
out with an article this week saying the beautiful thing
about the Harris campaign is she's brought fun back to politics.
(05:48):
Ron and said, wait a second, who's happening fun here? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I'm not having fun.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
No.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And then the other one they've been really trying to
peddle on this, and this comes from Tim Walls, the
same one that coined the phrase there the other guys
are weird, is she's brought joy back. They're going to
try to sell this convention as bringing joy and unity
and fun back. And maybe somewhere along the line, or
maybe not at all, will they ever get to policies
(06:14):
things that are broke, Things they actually broke, let alone
need to be fixed. But you know, the reason I
bring up Nixon is because I do think twenty twenty
four is frighteningly late Night nineteen sixty eight, although I
sense it could be even worse, you know, And part
of that suggestion is maybe there isn't so many of
us here in the silent center. But the notion was,
(06:38):
while everybody is extremely fighting over all these you know,
handful of things that divide us, and assassinations and presidents
stepping out of races, there's a silent center that Nixon
talked to, and his speech would have been famous if
his career didn't in disgrace after Watergate was talking to
the Silent Center in America that you know what, loves
(06:59):
their wife one to go to work today, loves their
children and want to just be able to get by
and provide and be better tomorrow and handoff a better
future to their children. And I don't know about anybody else,
but when I watch all this and it doesn't matter.
Sometimes it's Trump on X with Musk or doing a rally.
A lot of times it's Kamala and Tim Walls, I'm
(07:21):
just like, is any hey over here? Is anybody going
to focus on what matters? We the people and this
inflation and this economy and this clear and present danger
of a porest border and a holy war that is escalating.
I mean, hello, And you just wonder is it out there?
And you're right, it could be that the campaigns produce it,
the media produces it, then we get on social media
(07:43):
and join it, and it's very dysfunctional and very non productive, and.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
It's very difficult to predict. I've got the two seventy
to win map up today and looking at it all week.
There are other pieces and parts of this that we
can get into as well, so the processing of this
election and what states it's really coming down to, and
what states it's coming down to right now. But one
thing about sixty eight that's different is the anti war
(08:10):
movement was not controllable by the Democrat Party. And as
you uncovered and we talked about at great length of
the shadow campaign to save democracy in the twenty twenty race,
the Democratic Operatives, the Center for American Progress and all
of their affiliates had control over the protesters and they
(08:34):
could either mobilize them based on the election results or
pull them back. At this stage in the game, you're
talking about the Democrat Convention, it appears that the Stars
World controls all the elements of protests. The exception might
be the anti Israeli protesters. So we don't know if
they can create enough trouble for the Democrat Convention to
(08:58):
get it off the rails. But they were the only ones.
Everyone else is going to fall in line as they
did in twenty twenty because right now the theme is
happy days are here again, and they don't want to
protest change set.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
So although go ahead, I was just saying, although I
will add, by the way, sixteen minutes after the hour
talking with David Sanadi, the CEO of the American Policy
Roundtable and host of The Public Square and a frequent
senior contributor of your morning show. Even in saying that,
I would say you kind of touched on it, because
in nineteen sixty eight, it was Mayor Daily telling the
(09:32):
Democrat Party, I'll keep everything under control, there'll be no
drunken riots in the streets, and then he couldn't, and
the blood flowed on Michigan Avenue and the fighting made
its way into the convention hall. So that too, was
very much like nineteen sixty eight. But yeah, that was
you know what I want to say to you. There's
all this sugar high, all this joy, all this fun,
all this coronation, all this kumbaia. Is that momentum going
(09:56):
to continue when they get to Chicago or be disrupted
by the war in the Middle eas he's disrupted by
the protesters on the street, or maybe not go so
kombay yah, when they start having to know at least
start saying something about what they're going to do, which
they've yet to have to do. You can't even you
go to our website, you can't even get where she
(10:16):
stands on an issue, it's nowhere on the website.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Well, it's remarkable, and this is because in nineteen sixty
eight there was a Democrat Party that functioned on the ground.
Today the Democrat Party is run from the desk of
John Podessa in the White House and the Center for
American Progress and the network of billionaires that controls every
aspect of the Democrat Party. If you go on to
the Center for American Progress, as website is we've been
(10:42):
encouraging people to do, and when they go, they're shocked,
really to look at a website that says we're just
not here to change the debate, We're here to change
the nation. And then you go on their contributors page,
starting with the billion dollar people and working the way down,
you see everybody's there. The entire Democrat READI is there,
major corporations are there. Everybody's on board, and the control
(11:05):
factor is much different. This is a totally scripted event.
And so I don't think we're going to see a
breakout at the convention. I really don't. And if it is,
it's going to be isolated. It won't get anywhere near
the hall, and it certainly won't get anywhere near the
media that we'll be covering. Happy days are here again.
And in this sun Sign campaign.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
We always say life is best understood looking back, but
unfortunately must be lived looking forward. Nineteen sixty eight gives
us kind of a view of what the future could
potentially look like, right to Biden leaving like LBJ left
right to an assassination attempt or in sixty eight. It
was successful on RFK. But you bring up how they're
all kind of in it together, and that is a
(11:48):
changing factor. That's that matrix we're living in that didn't
exist in nineteen sixty eight. There were legitimate people that
thought we never should have gone to Vietnam. John F.
Kennedy probably would have been one of them that he lived.
But then it was not going well and losing, and
then there was people that believe we should have gone,
(12:08):
but now we should come home. So that was growing,
and they had their own candidate in McCarthy. Then after
LBJ step down, you have that vice president his Kamalao
Hubert Humphrey. Then you had RFK was kind of for
the people. But I get back to this messaging for
Donald Trump. Nixon cut through talking to the silent center.
(12:30):
Is Trump getting too far off message and playing all
these other games and he should just keep pounding on
the economy, pounding on the border, pounding on peace through strength,
and people not misbehaving on the world stage, and the
simple question was your life better off four years ago?
I mean, I'm not the people that are attacking Trump
(12:53):
and saying he's off message. I don't want to agree with,
but I have to almost they they have gotten tremendously
off message and got very reactive to this sugar high
and narrative opponent. Seems like it to me, But I
don't know. You haven't definitively answered if you think he's
(13:14):
drifting a little bit off message, well, I.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Think that it's in a bigger question than that. I
think it's where it's his attention. It's let alone, where
his messaging is. Because it seems to me that Donald
Trump remains so endeared to his methodology talking to his
base that he doesn't realize that he has to win
an election in three critical states. He has to win
in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, and if he doesn't do
(13:40):
well in those three states, he cannot win this election.
And so going into those states relentlessly in every method
of media possible, whether it's online, whether it's cable, whether
it's through social media, personal appearances. His entire team should
be living in those three states, and if they need
any more places to go, be Nevada in Arizona. When
(14:03):
you look at the map, that's what it all comes
down to. And I don't see a ground being and
a candidate that is engaged at that level and having
an event with Musk, which is very, very powerful. Hundreds
of millions of people are creating their counters looking at
this stuff around the world. The problem is if you
tick off the UAW anymore in Michigan, I mean, you
just can't afford to lose any votes in that in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada,
(14:29):
and Arizona. And if that's not what their message is,
then they're missing the whole game.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Then they're going to be bullseye. All right, last question. Obviously,
Kamala Harris isn't defining anything, and so far they're pulling off,
hiding her and playing side.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
I'm excuse me, sir, I object, I object your honor.
She's defining fun.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
It's funny, joyful, oh, joyful. Yeah, no, But I mean,
but sooner or later, you would think she's got to
do an interview. Sooner or later, she's got to put
some substance in her speech and on her website. You know,
sooner or later she's got a debate. But what we're
seeing is them pulling her off. They're just hiding her
in plain sight the way they hit Joe Biden. But
they don't. They're doing it without COVID. They got the
(15:14):
media back on their side. That can help. But I mean,
at some point, does Kamala Harris have to come back
to center. We see that with the Okay, I'm for
no taxation on tips too, and everybody made fun of
that for copycatting. But it might have worked and there
might be more to come.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Well, the debates will be a big deal. That's that's
that's a point of fact, and there's things that they're
still going to leet happen. But the reason that the
momentum is so strong isn't just a change. It's that
the one key that people seem to be in every way,
it's orchestrated this entire process to put her on the
shortest field that a nominee has ever seen in a
campaign voting begins in less than a month, and she's
(15:54):
not even officially the nominee yet, and she'll be on
such a shield that they can keep the fun time
campaign going by the time past the votes will already
be in. Michael, it's a short field we've never seen before.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chuno, enjoying
my time here at one O four nine. The Patriot
in Saint louis just one of our many your morning
show cities. It's thirty six minutes after the hour. Thanks
for waking up with us on the air and streaming
live on your iHeart app. It's your Morning Show, and
I'm Michael del Jorna. Well, there are more and more
(16:29):
divorces now. Usually I would think, and I have a
doctor who's an expert that probably will tell me. But
I thought financial problems were always a leading costs of divorce.
I didn't know partisan political fights could literally lead to divorce.
I have a season's couple's coach, a New York Time
bestselling author, doctor Warren Ferrell, who's joining us on how
(16:52):
to keep a divided country from dividing our family. Doctor,
good morning, it's great to have you on the.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Show Good Morning. I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
So look, my wife and I are soulmates, best friends.
I can never love my kids more than I love her.
We are harmonious. Life is wonderful. You'd hate us if
you knew us. Even we have every now and then
a little difference on opinions about certain politicians. I can
think of a couple issues. She leans a little left
of me. But I mean the kind of things that
(17:21):
would lead to divorce might tell me that these people
never had more in common and always had you know,
I'm in opposites a tract, but they make each other miserable.
Can really similar well married people find a divorce through politics.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Well, sometimes it is a representative of sort of a
deeper set of issues, but it's mainly feeling like we're
bringing up our children, and you know, he loves Trump
and she loves Kamala Harris and Tim Malls and so
there's a real feeling of, you know, are our values
the same? How are we going to bring up our children?
(18:01):
And and that's that becomes the sort of in a
way a crucial issue. But it's it's also not feeling heard,
and you know, why are you in favor of this
you know, dictator personality. Why are you in favor of
this sort of woke cancel culture woman? And and you know,
there's something fundamentally different about us and how we're going
(18:22):
to talk to our kids about it, and and basically
very few people know how to really hear each other
without becoming defensive. So instead of trying to look for, say,
the best virtues in somebody's way of looking at the world, say,
let's say you're say, say your daughter comes back from
(18:43):
college and you've you know, you're a man who's a dad,
who's conservative, and you've been working hard to keep your
family together and your daughters, let's say the first person
that's gone to college and and you and you realize
that when she came back into Thanksgiving, she's talking about
how important the feminist movement is and why you're the
oppressor and you're part of the patriarchy and.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
You meanwhile, the dad and the son are saying, could
you go get me some more asparagus instead? Yeah? But
I could, Yeah, I see how that can happen. Well.
The other thing is doctor social media too, right, because
they're on social media living in a matrix with people
that think like they think, read what they read, watch
what they watch, listen to what they listen to. They're
just sharing these narratives back and forth, and they're probably
(19:27):
communicating more with like minded partisan people on social media
than they're communicating with their spouse, Right, that's.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Absolutely the course. The algorithm of social media reinforces that.
And then maybe one's reading the New York Times and
the other ones reading the Epic Times.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Oh my, go.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Absolutely certain that they're right, and the other one is
sort of like there's something's fundamentally wrong with them. But
so what it brings up is this that neither one
feels heard by the other. And the purpose of My
Rolemate to Solmate book and the workshops from which it
derived is it was I found that the single biggest
(20:04):
challenge for human beings is our inability to handle personal
criticism without becoming defensive. And so as our partner is speaking,
we tend to sort of get do what I call
self listening, that is, listen to ourselves, figure out what response,
what flaw they have, maybe even how we can distort
that flaw to make a better argument on our side.
(20:26):
And the other person doesn't feel heard, so you often
hear people saying I've told you a hundred times that,
and they've told you a hundred times, or you accuse
them of nagging, and at part because they haven't felt
heard any of those hundred times. And so what I
developed and so that was the that was what inspired
the role Made to Soulmate book, was that no one
(20:47):
had figured out how to be able to handle personal
criticism without becoming defensive. And almost every couple begins to
sort of feel like they have to walk on eggshells
in order to bring up some topic, wait for the
right time, the right moment, and the right mood, and
then maybe I can say this, and how gently can
I say this? And in the meantime, people start feeling
(21:10):
stressed and they often start drinking or staying out at
the office later, or you know, just you know, disappearing
to a woman friends, or taking care of the children
more than they otherwise need to be taken care of,
over protecting them, because after all, it's a lot better
than dealing with my husband or my wife. And so
this is so what I developed is to is a
(21:31):
way of people setting aside two hours a week to
be able to first know how to appreciate each other
at five levels of specificity. That is not just say
I loved you you're a great cook, but also say
you know, I love you the way you made the
skin on that turkey so crisp, or the way you
(21:53):
and the way you made them the dressing so moist,
so that a person feels not just oh, you're a
great cook. General.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Yeah, that's not, that's doc, that's not. That's not going
to work at my house because it's usually my son
that is making the perfect dinner and not the mother.
But no, but I digress. Yeah, but no, but you
brought up something earlier because we've only got about a
minute left. But I think this really gets to it,
and that is values and beliefs and and of course
(22:20):
values can be an order, right, So I can change
you completely by changing the order of your values. Like Bill,
values matter, but then values have to have beliefs associated
with them that define those values. So Bill Clinton may
have the same value for marriage as I do, but
he certainly doesn't have the same rules or didn't so,
But but the rules for the values, the order of
(22:41):
the values, and that should all be worked out before
you've chosen to marry that person, but they can actually
move as people get older together. But how we're letting
all this political fighting that used to stay in the
belt Way to consume all of our lives, get into
our workforce, get into our friendship, get into our marriage
(23:01):
is beyond me. Sometimes when my wife wants to bring
up things, she thinks I'm not listening. But the reality is,
I don't want to have a talk show after I
get off the air, and I don't want this cancer
ever entering our relationship. You know, sometimes doctor, the answer
is just obey and repent and just don't allow it,
Isn't it not?
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Really? When you when you ignore certain things, you leave out.
People often say, you know that Thanksgiving and ignore religion
and politics. But religion and politics they reflect the values
that we have, and when we love somebody, we want
to know their values and so but most people say
ignore these because they're going to only cause you know,
(23:47):
they're only going to cause trouble. In our family. We
have one very strong Jump supporter and one woman who
ran for as a Democrat for political office and stuff,
and they can't hear each other at all, and so
trying to get them to set aside time to know
how to first appreciate each other. Second, let them let
each other know that they you appreciate, that they care,
(24:09):
and that they're not apathetic. And caring and not being
apathetic is core to what a democracy is about, much
more so than being apathetic. And then and then hearing
the virtue behind the what what they feel is a vice.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
But if someone's listening right now and there for Trump,
the wife's for for Harris, they don't agree on any
issue from abortion to life from uh, you know, and
you're saying there's still a way too, because I think
they got much bigger problems in the next president. Is
at that point.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
My wife and I are opposites attract but by hearing
each other in the way that you know this, We
set aside a time each week if we need it,
to hear exactly what the other person is saying and feeling.
And I let her know what I'm hearing her say,
and I ask ask her if I've distorted anything, ask
her if I've missed anything, ask her if she wants
(25:03):
to add anything, and I hear her story fully. And
when I hear her story in her way of looking
at it, the world, I don't have to agree with it.
I could just be there for her. She knows I
hear it fully, and then she does the same for me.
That just leaves us. That leaves us with the complementary
ways of looking at the world where we can get
(25:24):
where we can fit the best pieces together. But if
we didn't have that, opposites attract would often lead to
you know what, I often say, opposites attract.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
They just can't leave you a lawyer. It leads us
to a lawyer. All right, So Rolemate to Soulmate is
the book. It's a New York Times bestseller. I'm going
to hang up and I'm going to praise God, thank
God every day for my wife that I don't have
this challenge. But if some of you do, this book
can help. Doctor Warren Ferrel, thanks so much for joining us.
(25:52):
I can't believe this is actually now leading to divorces,
but it shouldn't shock me that.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
It is really nice to talk with you.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
A great day. Thanks for getting up early with us
forty six minutes after the hour, time for your top
five stories of the day. Well, believe it or not,
Vice President Kamala Harris is about to unveil her economic
policies it's the number one issue in this campaign. She
already has the nomination locked up, and now she's gonna
(26:22):
tell us what she's gonna do. So why have they
been loving her so much so far? Mark Mayfield has more.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
It will be the first policy centered speech by the
Democratic presidential nominee since she entered the race for the
White House after President Biden withdrew. The Harris campaign said
the vice president will outline a plan to lower costs
for middle class families and to take on corporate price gouging.
Over the weekend, Harris said she supports eliminating taxes on tips,
a position also held by former President Trump.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Speaking of Trump, He's headed back to
the same county in Pennsylvania where he was shot. Brian
Shook has that story.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
GOP nominee will go back to Butler County this October.
The former president says he will also be at a
rally on Saturday, speaking at the Mohegan Arena in Wilkespeare Township.
Trump announced the October event during Monday's live stream interview
with ex billionaire Elon Musk, but did not offer a
date or location for that rally. I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Wall says he's proud of
his military record. Lisa Taylor has more.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Wess addressed the recent attacks on his military career from
the Trump campaign while in Los Angeles today, and.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
I firmly believe you should never denigrate another person service record.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Anyone brave enough to put on that uniform for our
great country, including my opponent. I just have a few.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Simple words, thank you for your service and sacrifice.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Republican vice presidential candidate jd Vance has suggested that Walts
inflated his credentials and that he abandoned his unit ahead
of its deployment to Iraq to avoid serving in a
war zone. I'm Lisa Taylor.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
I got two words. Fix your bye. I want to
stop calling people weird. Frozen three is getting a release date.
The animated film well debut in theaters. Is somebody really
gonna mark this on their calendar? I don't even know
what's coming up next week. I guess you're supposed to
mark down November twenty fourth of twenty twenty seven. We
(28:18):
had friends of ours that were that way. They would say,
we need to get together for dinner. I said, well,
let me know when next thing. And I start getting
texts how about December of twenty six? And I'm like,
are you serious? But for those of you that want
to put it on a calendar, Frozen three has said
its release date November twenty fourth, twenty twenty seven. Baseball
d Bacs, Guardians, and Nats all won. Rai's Rangers, the
(28:41):
Cardinals and Mariners all lost. And did I mention? The
Little League World Series starts today? Birthdays Comedian actor legend
Treasure Steve Martin eighty years old, NBA great Magic Johnson
is sixty six, Actress Halle Berry fifty nine, and our
former Titans coach Mike Braebel is forty nine.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Hey, this is John wattson my morning show.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno. I am
Michael del Jorno, and this is your morning show. We're
joined by a very disrespectful younger brother, Rory O'Neil to
talk about the inflation. We're gonna get the the numbers
PROBA eight thirty Eastern, which would be two minutes ago.
Oh it did come in, okay, yeah, eight thirties at
(29:25):
seven thirties central. Okay, So what were they.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Right?
Speaker 1 (29:29):
In line with expectations.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
Consumer prices up two tenths of one point in July,
so that puts the annual inflation rate I think at
two point nine percent.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Yeah, we need to get to two.
Speaker 7 (29:39):
Economists have been expecting well right, well defined two is
it two point zero two point two, two point three.
But there are growing concerns about the labor market versus
the inflation numbers. You know, you'll see that a lot
more talk that the Fed may have to start being
more aggressive out of concerns that we've seen a pretty
solid game in unp deployment. We never got the participation
(30:02):
number back up to where it was pre COVID, so
that the Fed does have a dual man data of
keeping inflation low and employment high.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
While it's easy for Rory to explain to us off
sides in soccer, as a soccer ref explain to people
how that unemployment is actually good news for what they're
looking for now. The two tenths tick up and inflation
is not good news. But they kind of want to
see unemployment rise a little right.
Speaker 7 (30:26):
Well a little bit, because this would give the Fed
a bit more free reign to lower those interest rates
when they meet next month, and is it a quarter.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Point coming down? Is it a half point coming down?
Speaker 7 (30:37):
A lot more voices saying, look, Fed, you were too
slow when we got into this cycle of inflation, and
you were late to the game when it came to
raising interest rates to try to control things. Now on
the downside, where seeing things softening, a lot of companies
are warning about softer times ahead. We're seeing the unemployment
numbers start to creep up. So the suggestion is, hey, Fed,
(30:59):
don't make them stake you made going into this. You
should be aggressive coming out of this in order to
prevent a greater unemployment problem.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
You know. Lost in all of this is this reality.
While we're measuring this two tenth and two point nine
percent inflation, what we're really feeling is the inflation since COVID,
and that's near twenty to thirty percent in a lot
of sectors. So this is I mean, they keep saying, well,
we'd feel better about doing it next month. These numbers
(31:29):
don't indicate any rate cuts are coming next month, not
based on the formula that we've been sold anyway.
Speaker 7 (31:36):
I would disagree on that, but I would say that
to your point about we're not talking about deflation all
we're saying is things aren't getting as more expensive as
fast as they had been, just that the rate.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Of the increase has slowed.
Speaker 7 (31:49):
We're not saying that, you know, Hamburger has suddenly come
down to ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Cents a pound.
Speaker 7 (31:54):
What we're saying is that it's not getting up to
nine ninety nine pound as fast as it had been.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Yeah, but they had kicked around the number of two percent.
And I know, I know what you're saying is have
to be that's kind of like refinancing your home.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
You know.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
We think that somewhere around four point eight people will start,
you know, putting their houses on the market and start
making some movement. The Fed's always kind of indicated that
they need to be closer to two than they need
to be closer to three, And right now they're closer
to three. Hey, here's something we can all look for.
But on the right trajectory, Yeah, go to the right direction.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
And that's what may give them, that's what may give
them cover saying all right, it's a two nine but
coming down faster, and we think and then the PPI
number was lower than expected yesterday on the wholesale side,
which is good.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
So it's yeah, you may have the impetus. You don't
expect any market reaction today to this. It's been mixed
because this is what we expected. We saw a big
jump up yesterday. The traders liked the fact that the
PPI came in colder. So the fact that the CPI
is where we expected it'll be good.
Speaker 7 (32:51):
Tip it.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
I love all sports. I don't really particularly care for
the Super Bowl because they've ruined it, but I love
NFL playoffs, I love March Madness. Yes, I really love
the Masters, and I really love the Little League World Series.
This is so pure, these young talented kids. The journey
begins today. Are you a big lit League World Series watcher?
Speaker 7 (33:11):
Not particularly, But I don't get that, like school started
already for them.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
But back in class, Rory, I used to not go
to school and have the nerve to show up in
my car at three o'clock and go right to the
baseball locker room and show up for practice. I get that.
I love the kids that are playing ball. I'm ready
for Little League. All right, Rory, great reporting. We'll talk
again tomorrow. Have a great day. We're all in this together.
