Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show can be heard on great radio stations
across the country like News Talk ninety two point one
and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee, or thirteen hundred
The Patriot and Tulsa our Talk six to fifty KSTE
in Sacramento, California.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
We invite you to listen.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Live while you're getting ready in the morning, and to
take us along for the drive to work. But as
we always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining
us for the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Well two three, starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding, because we're
in this to get This is your morning show with
Michael Bill Joina.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
The Democratic National Convention closed Monday night with a varied
speech by Joe Biden that started barely into the first
night and ended into the second night of the convention.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
That about sums it up from my perspective. But what
do you want for me? I only got three hours
sleep six minutes after the hour. Thanks for waking up
with your morning show and good morning. I'm Michael del Jordan.
We're here to serve you. The DNC had its first
night convention and it had many many speakers. I think
the left saw a lot in AOC. I think they
saw a lot in Hillary Clinton. And I'm not even
(01:13):
sure they were up to see much of Joe Biden.
What did they do well? What did they do poorly?
Why did they bury Joe twice? Taking the race away
from him and then burying him into the wee hours
of the night. The speech turned out to be a
lot more about him, about forty four minutes about him,
one minute about Kamala. I doubt that pleased a lot
of the strategists Hillary and the chant of lock him up,
(01:34):
that was an endearing moment of inclusion. Contradictions throughout the night,
you know, say no to hate, say no to us
versus them. And then on the next you know, mouth
there would be something about choose Kammala or choose peril,
choose life for choose depth.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
One thing's for sure. They're real big on abortion.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I got that before it even began, with the marching
abortion pills outside or how about the abortion pill the
sectomy trucks like a old ice cream truck going through
the neighborhood. That's day one of the DNC. I suspect
they want us to see everything old and ugly yesterday,
so they can move on to fresh and new starting tonight.
(02:15):
That's the strategy of the passing of the patan in
four days, as carried out in political thugery over the
last four weeks that I see playing out.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
But I'm not the only eyes on this.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
David's an audious The American Policy Roundtable CEO is a
senior Your Morning Show contributor and a dear friend, David.
What did you make of Day one of the Democratic
National Convention?
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Good morning, Michael, but we booked the up for most
of the morning already.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Anyhow, an't did you? Did you stay up?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I stayed up before yeah, and the post Yeah, so
I've got three hours sleep.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I'm guessing you've got four.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Tops Yeah, and you always Yeah, I didn't. I watched
it on the c SPAN feed so I could watch
the early high stuff and that was embarrassing. And then,
of course, so then I watched the speech. Yeah. I
didn't want to.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I really didn't want.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
To, but I knew you probably would, and so I thought, well,
here we go again. We've been telling this a long time.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
We're getting too old for it.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Too well, you know, the first thought that comes to
my mind was two weeks ago, three excuse me, thirty
days ago, Joe Biden was the enemy of the state
and had to be gotten rid of one way or
the other. Joe had to go yesterday and early this morning,
all we heard was we love you, Joe, We love you, Joe,
(03:39):
chanted by twenty five thousand people.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
It seemed a little staged to me.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Well, I'll give you an even better one. I mean,
that's a great one. I mean they basically, you know,
to use the mafia term. They basically knocked them off,
and now they want to celebrate his courage and being
knocked off.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
But here's a great one for you.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Here is AOC who they think is the Barack Obama
style rising star of last night. Here's AOC in July. Now, David,
I'm gonna interrupt and remind you it's only August, all right.
This is AOC not even four weeks ago from this day.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Listen, if you think that there is consensus among the
people who want Joe Biden to leave that Kamala that
they will support Kamala Vice President Harris, you would be mistaken.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Well that's kind of vague. Oh wait a minute, she
leaves no vague. She gets very specific.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Listen, I'm gonna be.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
Honest for them. I'm in these rooms.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
A lot of them are not just interested in removing
the president. They are interested in removing the whole ticket.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And yet last night this was aoc to love.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
This country's two fights for its people, all people, working
people every day Americans.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Like bartenders and stop three workers.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Over the next seventy eight days, we will have to pour.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
Every house, every minute, every moment into making history on
November fin.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I mean, come on, they have There's been so much
change in four weeks. Of course, there's going to be
a lot of change in four.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Days of this convention. This is this is amazing stuff.
Is this is this crap working outside that building.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
There's a great question, Michael, it where's the script? First off,
at the theme for this week has been has been set,
and it was set by the whisper campaigns of a
few people, appropriately the government of North Carolina and a
few others, who said, this is starting to feel like
two thousand and eight again, ah ah, the sort of
(05:58):
other words. We're in an am moment. This is an
Obama epiphany moment. This is the second coming of Barack Obama.
All the conversation about history is in your hands. And
this is okay. So that's that's the fantasy is amazing.
Speaker 8 (06:13):
You know.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
I have to tell you again, I know we're talking
to a lot of people. You and I tend to
think at least that I'm just talking to you. So
I want to be careful to not say two things
that I got to have to say. Anyhow, I have
no choice. Number One, there's something wrong with those people.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
There's something time about that. In disgust. Was the only
comment my wife made last night was there's something wrong
with these people. There's something wrong with these But they
feel that way about us too, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Well, And to be fair, I.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Was not comfortable with the worship fest of the Donald
Trump convention. There's something wrong with Americans in the political
party systems who are into the this weird tortured hero
worship us versus them. Look, we're hiring somebody to do
a job for forty eight months. Some of the first
(07:09):
people who took the job didn't even want it, and
most have regretted they ever had it. It's not that
big a deal. I mean, these people if this was
a religious speaker up there, everyone would call it a cult.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Warnock actually went on to say a vote is like
a prayer, and it's time for us all to pray
together this country. No, that's breaching the gap. That's literally
what happened to the Wasn't that Christian nationalism?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Don't even go there. You know, it's funny.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
My son, Nicholas was driving me crazy all night only
because he was just astonished.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
And he couldn't get over his astonishment.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
And you know, he's young enough to where he's got
a process and be affirmed as he's processing. So I
can't tell you how many times he kept making it
so I couldn't hear the television because he was going,
Wait a minute, Dad, I don't get this. If they're
in all and everything's bad, how does it have nothing
to do with them? Why do we have to rehireha
to fix something that they could be fixing right now?
(08:08):
This doesn't mean he was going on, and I said, Nick,
the bottom line is both parties are the problem. This
is exactly what our founding fathers did not want to happen.
This is a divided nation and that problem is bigger
than any of these problems. One side is telling one
side they're going to fix, and the other side is
saying they're going to fix. But so, yeah, you came
(08:31):
there's something wrong with these people, Andrew, there's something wrong
with these people. And then there was me. I was
just like, there's something wrong with both sides of this equation.
And I don't see anything but disfarming and disgrace that
LI said David's and not a CEO of the American
Policy Roundtable and a senior contributor anything that you saw.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I tried to do this.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
And by the way, after going to the Washington Post,
after going to Access and going to AP, I don't
think they're thrilled either. Watching CNN last night once Biden
finished into the wee hours of the night, they weren't
least not because he was snubbed into the late night,
but because the speech was about him and not about Kamala.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
That's what they were upset about.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
So I'm trying to figure out from their perspective what
they think they did well. And I think their honest
answer would be, we had to get rid of all
the old stuff so we can move on. So they
almost sacrificed Monday night for the purposes of Tuesday Wednesday
and Thursday, because they're going to do in four days
what they've done the last four weeks, a bait and
switch and sell. I think that about sums it up, really,
(09:32):
but I'm trying to find Steve Kirk could have been
a great moment if it wasn't followed up by hatred.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
He's making the case.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Imagine if if three hundred and forty two of US
three hundred and forty two million of US United, what
we could do compared to twelve basketball players. You know,
then the next guy's up was got a Trump scab
shirt on and talking about, you know, we're all gonna
die if Donald Trump is elected. So a lot of
contradictions throughout that I couldn't put my finger on one
thing they did well, but maybe you can.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Well, the video quality and the sound quality was overwhelming.
You felt like watching the stream that instead of twenty
five thousand people in that basketball arena, that there were
maybe thirty, that there was like one hundred and fifty
thousand people there. I mean, they made it look like
this was a tolkn fantasy. I mean, I don't know
(10:23):
how many signs you could possibly produce and switch out
in orchestrated fashion. Did they have a rehearsal for this
whole thing with everybody in the room.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
It was like a flash dance, wasn't it. No, that's
a good point, all right.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
So the theater, the audio, the visual, the videos I'll
be critical of only in this sense. I think these
videos were the same videos they'd played if it was
Joe Biden. They didn't quite get the new fresh narrative
on those.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I looked away.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
I'd let my eyes rest in those silence.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
But other than that, you're right, okay, so great theater.
We'll give them that.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Zere was okay, he was tolerable. I'm trying to think
of who was I'm the raves. They are all for AOC.
I didn't have that. I thought the long ovation for
Hillary might have been the moment they were hoping to
get with Biden, Goodbye to the past. Although you're going
to come back with Bill Clinton later in the week.
Barack Obama, who could upstage all of them.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I'm struggling here, and I'm trying to be kind. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
I mean, a party that's completely based on abortion and
hating Donald Trump, I don't know what to.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Make of Well, but there's one other piece about it. Yes,
it's about abortion, it's about hating Donald Trump. And now
it's a new thing. Okay, it's not new, but it's maybe.
And I'm probably making a huge mistake to say this
out loud. It's all about angry women.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
No, I heard that. I heard that throughout the night.
They played the gender card more than race. But something
tells me race is another night.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Oh yes, And it's all about angry people. And the
weirdest code of all is when Kamala came out in
her surprise visits and she gave the code sentence and
she said, when we fight, and everyone, in perfect alliteration said,
we win. So all of this love and peace and
(12:14):
kumbaya and we love you, Joe is all the mask
for what they're really talking about, which is when we fight,
we win. There's a militancy and an anger behind all
of this that is being masked in words like love
and with religious tap with religious ornamentation. But at the
(12:36):
base of all this there is a group of very
angry people.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah, and I think that's why they're unified in hate,
quite frankly, which is why hate is in the name
of unity. They use fear to arrive at joy. They
celebrate death in the name of life, liberty, and freedom.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
So I would say these.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Inconsistencies, hypocrisies, and then all of the contradictions. I gave
one text to you, and we have said this for
the better part of a year and a half. This
is all they got abortion and boogieyman and so last night,
and this would not be overly critical. They'd go boogieman, abortion, rapist, abortion,
(13:27):
fellon abortion, over and over and over again, Boogieman and abortion,
and then savior and Kamala as if she has nothing
to do with the very problems that they are articulating
that they plan to solve.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
And so then the final leap, the final bridge out,
is therefore we must elect the first black female president's.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Dark Yeah, I guess I really can't.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I I was disgusted in the treatment of Joe Biden,
the way they took his president, didn't see away, took
his nomination away, and then buried him into the morning hours.
I thought that was that's burying a guy twice. That
was just extraordinarily disrespectful. Hillary's speech. You know, at least
(14:15):
Kamala when they start chanting lock him up, she stops them.
Hillary just smirked and nodded while they chanted it. That
was a low moment. The contradictions were weaving throughout as
low moments. I guess I'm with you. What did they
do well? I'm trying to think of one speaker I
thought really hit a home run.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Outside of that room.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
And I really can't quite put my finger on one.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
It's a great question, because it's a really good question.
I thought the only person who did well was Kamala's
surprise appearance, because she got off the stage so quickly,
proving once again that she's got a limited vocabulary for
these event events and environments. And she knows now she's
you're out. She's taking orders very very well. She's following
(15:03):
the script.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
She's yet to add lib.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
But you know what's funny is she made it all
about Joe in two minutes, and then Joe made it
all about Joe minutes.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
I don't know if that was the plan, but well,
the other thing was that the camera angles were so
perfect they caught her saying to him over the over
the shoulder shot. She's looking in his eyes, saying, I
love you, Joe. Okay, she's she's in the stands and
she's I mean, they never didn't have her in perfect
(15:33):
Now this is all to their credit, Michael. People say, well,
you're just an angry Republican, Republican trumb worshiper. No, I
don't worship Donald Trump. There's But what really bothers me
the most.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
David's into live theater performances. His daughter is a professional actor.
He gets good theater, trust.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Me, and they played the script exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
What did.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
The thing that bothers me the most is every one
of the people in that room that were gets as
opposed to guess I'm not many friends of family they
had in there, but every one of those people was
a delegate lost their vote for Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Oh, and they don't seem to.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Mind take it away. We don't even know who took
her away from.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Him, because David winning is everything right.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Down that matters.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
This is your morning show with Michael del Trono. Good morning,
Rise and Shine.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Thirty six minutes after the hour on the East Coast,
the proverbial twenty four minutes to be.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
To work on time, and thanks for bringing us along
for the drive to work. Roy o'neilis here.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I just hear casing the sunshine ban I suddenly pictured
you at the discothechs.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I was I resist.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Trying to sound like the other guy, you know, like
a conservative talk radio on the morning after a Democratic convention.
So I've been trying to kind of be fair with
all of this. They did have some great staging, great sound,
great atmosphere, great signs. They certainly majored in abortion and
(17:02):
minored in Donald Trump not so much, Kamala Harrison, not
so much on what seems to matter most of voters,
which is the economy. Though they talked vaguely about the
middle class and what they will do, it begs the
question why are they doing it now? I think for me,
the biggest takeaway was you forced Joe Biden out and
(17:22):
then you forced him into the late night early hours.
That seemed like a double hit job to me. I
wonder how that played for America and others watching outside
of that room.
Speaker 9 (17:33):
Yeah, you know, East Coast time, Joe Biden didn't take
the stage until after eleven thirty at night, didn't wrap
up until after midnight, so very few people were tuning in,
to be honest with you, because of that late start.
So they're depending on the soundbites. You're playing your interpretation
of things as well, and then what they're going to
see on social media today. Because things were so late.
(17:55):
I mean, it was so late. How late was it?
It was so late James Taylor got bumped. Yeah, you know,
so clearly a lot of the programming had to go
out the window. I say this with absolutely no inside knowledge,
but I'm looking at Raphael Warnack, I'm looking.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
At Sean Fain.
Speaker 9 (18:13):
I'm saying, you guys, really overstage, You're welcome on that stage.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, they went a little bit long.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
There were there were There were also a lot of
other you know, lower people on the on the ticket.
It was a very very ambitious guest list, and you
have to question the planning. And to be gracious, I
would say, wow, they missed by two hours, right.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
The ungracious side would be that was on purpose.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
They wanted to get Joe Biden out of the way
and out of the the mirror completely, to move on,
get all the old out of the way so that
night two, three and four could move on to the
passing of the torch and the future. The problem was
two hours over and you double snubbed the guy, you know, again,
I think there's a lot of stuff that seemed to
(19:02):
me to be playing to the room. And what they
have to realize is, whether it's twenty five or thirty
thousand people, there's millions watching, that's the real room. And
the screaming and the yelling that, you know, those were
all indicative of playing to the room. And I'm wondering
how much that was a successful night outside that room.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah, you know, first night. Yeah, I mean I get it.
I see your point.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
I personally don't think it was intentional to push Joe
Biden off the schedule. Like I said, if you're knocking
James Taylor off and he already you know, we saw
him in soundcheck earlier in the day, you know, then
why wouldn't you keep James Taylor in, you know, the
other two singers. I might have bumped, but okay, I
mean that, I guess that's your your choice.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
But yeah, terrible time management, you.
Speaker 9 (19:46):
Know, twenty pounds of stuff, but still the five pounds back.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah, I think about it. Joe Biden was still speaking
after midnight. Then he had to go all the way home.
I mean I could barely walk it. Just it just
seemed very disrespectful to me. But okay, so bad timing.
They certainly to California. He flew to California, California. Yeah where,
But when he got off the marine one, he just
I mean, that was out of it.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Yep, as you can imagine.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
All right, we've got I guess one of the big
stories today is the FBI is concluded it was a
ron behind the Trump pack. We got the protesters out
in the street, which TV did a great job of
hiding it from everyone, but they breached their perimeter.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
They were throwing bottles at police.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Arrests were made, and that tick tick tick continues. You've
got another one as the DNC starts Microsoft warning of
deep fake AI attacks. Explain, Yeah, and on.
Speaker 9 (20:40):
The protest they were saying one hundred thousand we're going
to show up yesterday, and it was more like twenty
five hundred to thirty five hundred some counts that we've seen.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Thankfully no injuries reported.
Speaker 9 (20:50):
But the Microsoft forums that they've been having at the
DNC mirror events that they had at the r NC
in Milwaukee, trying to warn these people, politically involved people
about deep fakes that are out there, try to help.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Them spot them. And report them.
Speaker 9 (21:06):
You know, it is putting two back in the toothpaste
back in the tube after they're out there. But Microsoft
does have a reporting system to try to contain some
of these things.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Two things have note.
Speaker 9 (21:16):
Microsoft says these happen at every level, either audio, video
or still photos in every kind of campaign, from the
White House to your local school board. They're seeing this
stuff and the women appear to be more victimized by
this than men.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Well that's the thing. Look at how it's changed your life.
I know it's changed mine.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
When they're outrageous, and there are some that are outrageous
and funny, they're obvious.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
It's the ones that aren't obvious.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
And half the time I well, virtually all the time
I'm looking at videos, that's the first thing I'm screening
for is what I'm watching really this person who really
said this?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
And then I got to verify it.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I mean, this is the chaos that's ahead, Roy, We're
not going to I think the end result is going
to be there will be no reality, there will be
no truth because you won't know the difference. And so
somebody could literally go out and say something outrageous and
everybody will assume it's AI. But right now they're falling
for the AI. It is hard to detect. And I
suspect on these local school board or local municipality races,
(22:19):
it'll be really the damage will be.
Speaker 9 (22:21):
Done, especially when there's no local news media, local newspapers
and radio stations, you know, closing up news operations and yeah,
no one to be sort of the gatekeeper there to
help people know, to help guide people to what's real
and what's fake.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Well, I mean I saw the movie Perfect Storm, but
you know they do happen from time to time. But
this is a perfect storm. I mean, what you're alluding
to is real. In nineteen ninety four in Tulsa, Oklahoma,
market number sixty four, I had four reporters, five full
time anchors, five full time talk show hosts. I mean,
(22:55):
we had the staff to do this work. You couldn't
be more vulnerable at the worst possible time, the arrival
of this technology. How does this all play out? People
aren't going to know what's real. Yeah, and it's getting worse.
Speaker 9 (23:09):
And look, you've got Donald Trump also stirring the pot
on the other end, calling into question, you know, the
Kamala Harris Airport photo, saying it was faked, you know,
so when it was real. So now you've sort of
got both ends of the spectrum, not just the fake
stuff that's being generated when you call into question the
authentic stuff again creating more confusion for the voter.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
It was a lot simpler, the advent of newspaper, the
inventive radio, the advent of television, the advent of technology
and social media. This does not look like it has
a happy ending. Rory's going to be back by the
way in our third hour to talk more about the
convention itself last night, and Rory to what I'm trying
(23:51):
to do. Let's try to find something they did right
last night. I mean there were like I'm trying to
think of one speech I can point to, almost Coach Kerr.
But then it was contradicted with the United Auto Workers
president right after he left the stage, and it went
from let's all be Americans to Donald Trump's scab and
corporations are the problem. You know, So both parties are
(24:14):
guilty of this, But how do we get beyond these
partisan divisions? And let's try to find at least something
they did well last night because I'm struggling and I'm
desperately wanting to present that more with Ore O'Neil next
hour or if you're just waking up top by sir.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
The day were pretty obvious.
Speaker 10 (24:30):
Night one of the convention, it definitely ran long, and
by the time he took the stage it was almost
midnight Central time, let alone day two of the convention,
and it was still day one when Joe Biden began
yelling in a forty five minute speech that I think
a lot of the strategists were hoping would be more
about common less about him.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Mark Mayfield has our Biden's end of the Road to
the White House from Last Night.
Speaker 11 (24:56):
Road to the White House twenty twenty four and addressed
the Democratic National Convention in Chicago Monday night. He told
the crowd that he loves America and added voters will
be casting ballots for democracy and freedom in November.
Speaker 12 (25:10):
We're a face of inflection point, one of those rare
moments in history, one of the decisions we make now
well the term and the fate of our nation and
the world.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
For decades to come. That's not hyperbole, I mean it literally.
Speaker 11 (25:25):
He told the crowd. He's not mad at the Democrats
who asked him to drop out of the twenty twenty
four race. Biden said, We're in a battle for the
soul of the nation, and Donald Trump is only stoking
fears for votes. He was expected to accept his party's
nomination just over thirty days ago.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Well, if he was pushed out of the race and
then pushed into the wee hours of the morning, that
created prime time for Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Boy, she still thinks she's running against Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Donald Trump fell asleep at his own trial, and when
he woke up, he made his own kind of history, the.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
First person to for president with thirty four selony convictions.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
The crowd spontaneously went into a lock him up chant.
Unlike Kamala, she didn't stop it. She smirked and nodded,
and it went on for about a minute. And of
course Hillary goes nowhere without her glass ceiling.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
And the other.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Side of that glass ceiling is Kamala Harris raising her
hand and taking the.
Speaker 11 (26:23):
Oath of office as.
Speaker 13 (26:25):
Our farming seventh President of the United States.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Speakers included Congresswoman aoc What's ironic, by the way, The
Washington posta she's one of the breakout stars of the convention.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
So far.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
She's a part of the Justice Democrat squad whose first
job is to overthrow the Democrat Party, and she turns
out the Darling. On Night one, Steve Kerr gave a
very emotional speech about what twelve men and twelve women
can do when they unite at the Olympics and get gold.
What we could do is three hundred and forty two
(26:56):
million Americans united, and then went on to give a
non united, contradicting partisan speech, followed by an United Autoworker
president who wearing a Trump is a Scab t shirt
basically pitted workers against greedy corporations. This was the contradictions
(27:18):
throughout the night. The least electric Kathy Hokel, the New
York Governor, I mean even my son at eighteen one,
who is this? She's awful. I mean, no political future there,
She's no Gavin Newsom, Kentucky Governor Andy Bursheer. Vice President
Harris even made a brief appearance to kick off the
(27:39):
convention night She made it all about Joe, and then
Joe didn't get on until after midnight Eastern time, and
Joe made it all about Joe. Thousands of protesters. Meanwhile,
we're outside, and even though you didn't.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
See him on television, things didn't go all peaceful.
Speaker 13 (27:55):
It started out as a protest, loud but free of
any violence, thousands Union Park to voice anger over the
Biden Harris administration's handling of the war between Israel and
the Palestinians.
Speaker 8 (28:07):
I believe like curving that we're all here, we're all together,
shows like a gratitude of representation for the people who
feel about the marginalize right now.
Speaker 13 (28:14):
But then there was a march to a park a
quarter of a mile from United Center. Then the protesters
broke through the barrier, spilling into the streets.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
The people arrested wrestled to the ground. In Chicago, I'm
Rob Dawson.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Oh, they weren't the only ones that were outside the
convention hall. Free medication, abortions and visectomies were available outside
of the DNC Planned Parenthood parking their mobile units in
different neighborhoods near the convention site. Kind of like ice
cream trucks signaled children, they were signaling visectomies and abortion pills.
(28:49):
They even had marchers dressed as abortion pills.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
They majored in abortion and minored and hatred for Donald
Trump and pushed a president out of the race and
then out of night one and into the early morning
of day two of the convention. And I'm still searching
for something positive other than lighting, sound and signs, but
I can't find it. And that's our convention coverage and
(29:16):
top five stories of the day.
Speaker 13 (29:19):
I'm Jeff Eddie with Efficient Hating and Cooning and my
morning show of your Morning Show with Michael del Dorna.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Night one of the convention one into the wee hours
of the moment? Was that snubbery towards Joe? Was that
just poor planning? Were there any really good moments that
went well inside the room and outside the room and
what went poorly? To give us kind of his take
on the convention night one, say hello to White House
correspondent to John Decker, Good morning, John.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
What'd you think went well? Well?
Speaker 8 (29:48):
The planning, as you point out, did not go well.
You know that a featured speaker went on way after
the time that was supposed to be. It was supposed
to be between ten and eleve PM Eastern time. That's
why all the broadcast networks a lot that time so
that it can be seen by all of the country
and of course that's not what happened, and that's for planning,
(30:10):
and maybe the planners that the DNC learn from the
mistakes from Night number one, so they don't make that
mistake for tonight when former President Barack Obama.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
Will be the future speaker.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
So if I'm looking for a good moment, because these
are tough conventions for me, I'm not a fan of
either party. I think they're a big part of the
problem in this country. But I have more in common
with one than the other, so it's difficult for me.
They certainly if their intent was to create in four
days what they've created in four weeks, the passing of
(30:42):
a Patam it sure looked that they wanted to get
some old icons out of the way in Night one
sacrifice Night one so they can get on to the
future in Night two, three, and four. The problem is
they kind of even buried him very late at night
in doing that, Hillary, the beginning reminiscent of RFK after
(31:02):
JFK's assassination was a nice moment. I didn't care for
the rest of that speech too much, but you know,
and then I'm reading in the Washington Posts they really
think AOC was the star of the night.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
So I don't know what to make of it.
Speaker 8 (31:17):
Well, these things are all in the eye of the beholder.
Who you think was the best speaker during the course
of the evening. AOC was speaking during essentially a prime
speaking slot, given that everything got pushed back quite a bit.
So she had an opportunity to introduce herself to the
(31:39):
public those that may not be familiar with her. And
for Hillary Clinton, you know, a swan song for her.
You know, it was eight years ago that she was
the Democratic presidential nominee. She of course lost to Donald Trump.
So an opportunity to advocate for someone who was trying
to do what she failed.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
To do, which is to beat him.
Speaker 8 (31:57):
And the hope for Democrats is that happened is coming.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
November, all right.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
John Decker, Whitehouse correspondent joining us. Well, if it was
poor planning, and that's gracious, But if it was I
suspect they won't make that mistake tonight.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
You do not waste Barack Obama.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
No, he's good. I mean, he's I think he's the
best there is certainly the best. One of the two
best presidents that I covered, Bill Clinton being the other one,
and speaking to large crowds, and Barack Obama certainly rises
to the occasion. Former First Lady Michelle Obama also so good,
(32:32):
and she will be speaking this evening. And for former
President Obama, his goal is the goal of everybody who's
speaking advocating for the ticket of Kamala Harris and Tim Walls,
making the case for them two undecided.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Voters in particular.
Speaker 8 (32:49):
You know, that's who both political parties are really aiming
their messages to those those rare people who really are
undecided in terms of who they intend to vote for
this coming You're.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Right, You're right to bring up Bill Clinton. He was great.
Not so much anymore.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Barack Obama can still speak and speak very well, and
probably on Tuesday night to not upstage Kamala. On Thursday night,
we saw a lot of abortion, We saw a lot
on women is tonight the night to address the black
vote in America.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
I suspect, yes, well.
Speaker 8 (33:21):
Yeah, I mean I think that's that happened last night
as well. You know, with the speakers, it's a very
diverse party. And for former President Barack Obama, he had
a very diverse coalition that helped elect him president in
two thousand and eight. The voters of color, young voters,
women voters, suburban voters, and what Kamala Harris is trying
(33:43):
to do is to put that coalition back together for her.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Well two three, starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding, because we're
in this to get This is your morning show with
Michael Bill Joina.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
The Democratic National Convention closed Monday night with a varied
speech by Joe Biden that started barely into the first
night and ended into the second night of the convention.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
That about sums it up from my perspective. But what
do you want for me? I only got three hours
sleep six minutes after the hour. Thanks for waking up
with your morning show and good morning. I'm Michael del Jordan.
We're here to serve you. The DNC had its first
night convention and it had many many speakers. I think
the left saw a lot in AOC. I think they
saw a lot in Hillary Clinton. And I'm not even
(01:13):
sure they were up to see much of Joe Biden.
What did they do well? What did they do poorly?
Why did they bury Joe twice? Taking the race away
from him and then burying him into the wee hours
of the night. The speech turned out to be a
lot more about him, about forty four minutes about him,
one minute about Kamala. I doubt that pleased a lot
of the strategists Hillary and the chant of lock him up,
(01:34):
that was an endearing moment of inclusion. Contradictions throughout the night,
you know, say no to hate, say no to us
versus them. And then on the next you know, mouth
there would be something about choose Kammala or choose peril,
choose life for choose depth.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
One thing's for sure. They're real big on abortion.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I got that before it even began, with the marching
abortion pills outside or how about the abortion pill the
sectomy trucks like a old ice cream truck going through
the neighborhood. That's day one of the DNC. I suspect
they want us to see everything old and ugly yesterday,
so they can move on to fresh and new starting tonight.
(02:15):
That's the strategy of the passing of the patan in
four days, as carried out in political thugery over the
last four weeks that I see playing out.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
But I'm not the only eyes on this.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
David's an audious The American Policy Roundtable CEO is a
senior Your Morning Show contributor and a dear friend, David.
What did you make of Day one of the Democratic
National Convention?
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Good morning, Michael, but we booked the up for most
of the morning already.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Anyhow, an't did you? Did you stay up?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I stayed up before yeah, and the post Yeah, so
I've got three hours sleep.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I'm guessing you've got four.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Tops Yeah, and you always Yeah, I didn't. I watched
it on the c SPAN feed so I could watch
the early high stuff and that was embarrassing. And then,
of course, so then I watched the speech. Yeah. I
didn't want to.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I really didn't want.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
To, but I knew you probably would, and so I thought, well,
here we go again. We've been telling this a long time.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
We're getting too old for it.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Too well, you know, the first thought that comes to
my mind was two weeks ago, three excuse me, thirty
days ago, Joe Biden was the enemy of the state
and had to be gotten rid of one way or
the other. Joe had to go yesterday and early this morning,
all we heard was we love you, Joe, We love you, Joe,
(03:39):
chanted by twenty five thousand people.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
It seemed a little staged to me.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Well, I'll give you an even better one. I mean,
that's a great one. I mean they basically, you know,
to use the mafia term. They basically knocked them off,
and now they want to celebrate his courage and being
knocked off.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
But here's a great one for you.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Here is AOC who they think is the Barack Obama
style rising star of last night. Here's AOC in July. Now, David,
I'm gonna interrupt and remind you it's only August, all right.
This is AOC not even four weeks ago from this day.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Listen, if you think that there is consensus among the
people who want Joe Biden to leave that Kamala that
they will support Kamala Vice President Harris, you would be mistaken.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Well that's kind of vague. Oh wait a minute, she
leaves no vague. She gets very specific.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Listen, I'm gonna be.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
Honest for them. I'm in these rooms.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
A lot of them are not just interested in removing
the president. They are interested in removing the whole ticket.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And yet last night this was aoc to love.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
This country's two fights for its people, all people, working
people every day Americans.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Like bartenders and stop three workers.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Over the next seventy eight days, we will have to pour.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
Every house, every minute, every moment into making history on
November fin.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I mean, come on, they have There's been so much
change in four weeks. Of course, there's going to be
a lot of change in four.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Days of this convention. This is this is amazing stuff.
Is this is this crap working outside that building.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
There's a great question, Michael, it where's the script? First off,
at the theme for this week has been has been set,
and it was set by the whisper campaigns of a
few people, appropriately the government of North Carolina and a
few others, who said, this is starting to feel like
two thousand and eight again, ah ah, the sort of
(05:58):
other words. We're in an am moment. This is an
Obama epiphany moment. This is the second coming of Barack Obama.
All the conversation about history is in your hands. And
this is okay. So that's that's the fantasy is amazing.
Speaker 8 (06:13):
You know.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
I have to tell you again, I know we're talking
to a lot of people. You and I tend to
think at least that I'm just talking to you. So
I want to be careful to not say two things
that I got to have to say. Anyhow, I have
no choice. Number One, there's something wrong with those people.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
There's something time about that. In disgust. Was the only
comment my wife made last night was there's something wrong
with these people. There's something wrong with these But they
feel that way about us too, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Well, And to be fair, I.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Was not comfortable with the worship fest of the Donald
Trump convention. There's something wrong with Americans in the political
party systems who are into the this weird tortured hero
worship us versus them. Look, we're hiring somebody to do
a job for forty eight months. Some of the first
(07:09):
people who took the job didn't even want it, and
most have regretted they ever had it. It's not that
big a deal. I mean, these people if this was
a religious speaker up there, everyone would call it a cult.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Warnock actually went on to say a vote is like
a prayer, and it's time for us all to pray
together this country. No, that's breaching the gap. That's literally
what happened to the Wasn't that Christian nationalism?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Don't even go there. You know, it's funny.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
My son, Nicholas was driving me crazy all night only
because he was just astonished.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
And he couldn't get over his astonishment.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
And you know, he's young enough to where he's got
a process and be affirmed as he's processing. So I
can't tell you how many times he kept making it
so I couldn't hear the television because he was going,
Wait a minute, Dad, I don't get this. If they're
in all and everything's bad, how does it have nothing
to do with them? Why do we have to rehireha
to fix something that they could be fixing right now?
(08:08):
This doesn't mean he was going on, and I said, Nick,
the bottom line is both parties are the problem. This
is exactly what our founding fathers did not want to happen.
This is a divided nation and that problem is bigger
than any of these problems. One side is telling one
side they're going to fix, and the other side is
saying they're going to fix. But so, yeah, you came
(08:31):
there's something wrong with these people, Andrew, there's something wrong
with these people. And then there was me. I was
just like, there's something wrong with both sides of this equation.
And I don't see anything but disfarming and disgrace that
LI said David's and not a CEO of the American
Policy Roundtable and a senior contributor anything that you saw.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I tried to do this.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
And by the way, after going to the Washington Post,
after going to Access and going to AP, I don't
think they're thrilled either. Watching CNN last night once Biden
finished into the wee hours of the night, they weren't
least not because he was snubbed into the late night,
but because the speech was about him and not about Kamala.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
That's what they were upset about.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
So I'm trying to figure out from their perspective what
they think they did well. And I think their honest
answer would be, we had to get rid of all
the old stuff so we can move on. So they
almost sacrificed Monday night for the purposes of Tuesday Wednesday
and Thursday, because they're going to do in four days
what they've done the last four weeks, a bait and
switch and sell. I think that about sums it up, really,
(09:32):
but I'm trying to find Steve Kirk could have been
a great moment if it wasn't followed up by hatred.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
He's making the case.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Imagine if if three hundred and forty two of US
three hundred and forty two million of US United, what
we could do compared to twelve basketball players. You know,
then the next guy's up was got a Trump scab
shirt on and talking about, you know, we're all gonna
die if Donald Trump is elected. So a lot of
contradictions throughout that I couldn't put my finger on one
thing they did well, but maybe you can.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Well, the video quality and the sound quality was overwhelming.
You felt like watching the stream that instead of twenty
five thousand people in that basketball arena, that there were
maybe thirty, that there was like one hundred and fifty
thousand people there. I mean, they made it look like
this was a tolkn fantasy. I mean, I don't know
(10:23):
how many signs you could possibly produce and switch out
in orchestrated fashion. Did they have a rehearsal for this
whole thing with everybody in the room.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
It was like a flash dance, wasn't it. No, that's
a good point, all right.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
So the theater, the audio, the visual, the videos I'll
be critical of only in this sense. I think these
videos were the same videos they'd played if it was
Joe Biden. They didn't quite get the new fresh narrative
on those.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I looked away.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
I'd let my eyes rest in those silence.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
But other than that, you're right, okay, so great theater.
We'll give them that.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Zere was okay, he was tolerable. I'm trying to think
of who was I'm the raves. They are all for AOC.
I didn't have that. I thought the long ovation for
Hillary might have been the moment they were hoping to
get with Biden, Goodbye to the past. Although you're going
to come back with Bill Clinton later in the week.
Barack Obama, who could upstage all of them.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I'm struggling here, and I'm trying to be kind. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
I mean, a party that's completely based on abortion and
hating Donald Trump, I don't know what to.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Make of Well, but there's one other piece about it. Yes,
it's about abortion, it's about hating Donald Trump. And now
it's a new thing. Okay, it's not new, but it's maybe.
And I'm probably making a huge mistake to say this
out loud. It's all about angry women.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
No, I heard that. I heard that throughout the night.
They played the gender card more than race. But something
tells me race is another night.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Oh yes, And it's all about angry people. And the
weirdest code of all is when Kamala came out in
her surprise visits and she gave the code sentence and
she said, when we fight, and everyone, in perfect alliteration said,
we win. So all of this love and peace and
(12:14):
kumbaya and we love you, Joe is all the mask
for what they're really talking about, which is when we fight,
we win. There's a militancy and an anger behind all
of this that is being masked in words like love
and with religious tap with religious ornamentation. But at the
(12:36):
base of all this there is a group of very
angry people.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah, and I think that's why they're unified in hate,
quite frankly, which is why hate is in the name
of unity. They use fear to arrive at joy. They
celebrate death in the name of life, liberty, and freedom.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
So I would say these.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Inconsistencies, hypocrisies, and then all of the contradictions. I gave
one text to you, and we have said this for
the better part of a year and a half. This
is all they got abortion and boogieyman and so last night,
and this would not be overly critical. They'd go boogieman, abortion, rapist, abortion,
(13:27):
fellon abortion, over and over and over again, Boogieman and abortion,
and then savior and Kamala as if she has nothing
to do with the very problems that they are articulating
that they plan to solve.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
And so then the final leap, the final bridge out,
is therefore we must elect the first black female president's.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Dark Yeah, I guess I really can't.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I I was disgusted in the treatment of Joe Biden,
the way they took his president, didn't see away, took
his nomination away, and then buried him into the morning hours.
I thought that was that's burying a guy twice. That
was just extraordinarily disrespectful. Hillary's speech. You know, at least
(14:15):
Kamala when they start chanting lock him up, she stops them.
Hillary just smirked and nodded while they chanted it. That
was a low moment. The contradictions were weaving throughout as
low moments. I guess I'm with you. What did they
do well? I'm trying to think of one speaker I
thought really hit a home run.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Outside of that room.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
And I really can't quite put my finger on one.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
It's a great question, because it's a really good question.
I thought the only person who did well was Kamala's
surprise appearance, because she got off the stage so quickly,
proving once again that she's got a limited vocabulary for
these event events and environments. And she knows now she's
you're out. She's taking orders very very well. She's following
(15:03):
the script.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
She's yet to add lib.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
But you know what's funny is she made it all
about Joe in two minutes, and then Joe made it
all about Joe minutes.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
I don't know if that was the plan, but well,
the other thing was that the camera angles were so
perfect they caught her saying to him over the over
the shoulder shot. She's looking in his eyes, saying, I
love you, Joe. Okay, she's she's in the stands and
she's I mean, they never didn't have her in perfect
(15:33):
Now this is all to their credit, Michael. People say, well,
you're just an angry Republican, Republican trumb worshiper. No, I
don't worship Donald Trump. There's But what really bothers me
the most.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
David's into live theater performances. His daughter is a professional actor.
He gets good theater, trust.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Me, and they played the script exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
What did.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
The thing that bothers me the most is every one
of the people in that room that were gets as
opposed to guess I'm not many friends of family they
had in there, but every one of those people was
a delegate lost their vote for Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Oh, and they don't seem to.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Mind take it away. We don't even know who took
her away from.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Him, because David winning is everything right.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Down that matters.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
This is your morning show with Michael del Trono. Good morning,
Rise and Shine.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Thirty six minutes after the hour on the East Coast,
the proverbial twenty four minutes to be.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
To work on time, and thanks for bringing us along
for the drive to work. Roy o'neilis here.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I just hear casing the sunshine ban I suddenly pictured
you at the discothechs.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I was I resist.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Trying to sound like the other guy, you know, like
a conservative talk radio on the morning after a Democratic convention.
So I've been trying to kind of be fair with
all of this. They did have some great staging, great sound,
great atmosphere, great signs. They certainly majored in abortion and
(17:02):
minored in Donald Trump not so much, Kamala Harrison, not
so much on what seems to matter most of voters,
which is the economy. Though they talked vaguely about the
middle class and what they will do, it begs the
question why are they doing it now? I think for me,
the biggest takeaway was you forced Joe Biden out and
(17:22):
then you forced him into the late night early hours.
That seemed like a double hit job to me. I
wonder how that played for America and others watching outside
of that room.
Speaker 9 (17:33):
Yeah, you know, East Coast time, Joe Biden didn't take
the stage until after eleven thirty at night, didn't wrap
up until after midnight, so very few people were tuning in,
to be honest with you, because of that late start.
So they're depending on the soundbites. You're playing your interpretation
of things as well, and then what they're going to
see on social media today. Because things were so late.
(17:55):
I mean, it was so late. How late was it?
It was so late James Taylor got bumped. Yeah, you know,
so clearly a lot of the programming had to go
out the window. I say this with absolutely no inside knowledge,
but I'm looking at Raphael Warnack, I'm looking.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
At Sean Fain.
Speaker 9 (18:13):
I'm saying, you guys, really overstage, You're welcome on that stage.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, they went a little bit long.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
There were there were There were also a lot of
other you know, lower people on the on the ticket.
It was a very very ambitious guest list, and you
have to question the planning. And to be gracious, I
would say, wow, they missed by two hours, right.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
The ungracious side would be that was on purpose.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
They wanted to get Joe Biden out of the way
and out of the the mirror completely, to move on,
get all the old out of the way so that
night two, three and four could move on to the
passing of the torch and the future. The problem was
two hours over and you double snubbed the guy, you know, again,
I think there's a lot of stuff that seemed to
(19:02):
me to be playing to the room. And what they
have to realize is, whether it's twenty five or thirty
thousand people, there's millions watching, that's the real room. And
the screaming and the yelling that, you know, those were
all indicative of playing to the room. And I'm wondering
how much that was a successful night outside that room.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah, you know, first night. Yeah, I mean I get it.
I see your point.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
I personally don't think it was intentional to push Joe
Biden off the schedule. Like I said, if you're knocking
James Taylor off and he already you know, we saw
him in soundcheck earlier in the day, you know, then
why wouldn't you keep James Taylor in, you know, the
other two singers. I might have bumped, but okay, I
mean that, I guess that's your your choice.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
But yeah, terrible time management, you.
Speaker 9 (19:46):
Know, twenty pounds of stuff, but still the five pounds back.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah, I think about it. Joe Biden was still speaking
after midnight. Then he had to go all the way home.
I mean I could barely walk it. Just it just
seemed very disrespectful to me. But okay, so bad timing.
They certainly to California. He flew to California, California. Yeah where,
But when he got off the marine one, he just
I mean, that was out of it.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Yep, as you can imagine.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
All right, we've got I guess one of the big
stories today is the FBI is concluded it was a
ron behind the Trump pack. We got the protesters out
in the street, which TV did a great job of
hiding it from everyone, but they breached their perimeter.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
They were throwing bottles at police.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Arrests were made, and that tick tick tick continues. You've
got another one as the DNC starts Microsoft warning of
deep fake AI attacks. Explain, Yeah, and on.
Speaker 9 (20:40):
The protest they were saying one hundred thousand we're going
to show up yesterday, and it was more like twenty
five hundred to thirty five hundred some counts that we've seen.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Thankfully no injuries reported.
Speaker 9 (20:50):
But the Microsoft forums that they've been having at the
DNC mirror events that they had at the r NC
in Milwaukee, trying to warn these people, politically involved people
about deep fakes that are out there, try to help.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Them spot them. And report them.
Speaker 9 (21:06):
You know, it is putting two back in the toothpaste
back in the tube after they're out there. But Microsoft
does have a reporting system to try to contain some
of these things.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Two things have note.
Speaker 9 (21:16):
Microsoft says these happen at every level, either audio, video
or still photos in every kind of campaign, from the
White House to your local school board. They're seeing this
stuff and the women appear to be more victimized by
this than men.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Well that's the thing. Look at how it's changed your life.
I know it's changed mine.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
When they're outrageous, and there are some that are outrageous
and funny, they're obvious.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
It's the ones that aren't obvious.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
And half the time I well, virtually all the time
I'm looking at videos, that's the first thing I'm screening
for is what I'm watching really this person who really
said this?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
And then I got to verify it.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I mean, this is the chaos that's ahead, Roy, We're
not going to I think the end result is going
to be there will be no reality, there will be
no truth because you won't know the difference. And so
somebody could literally go out and say something outrageous and
everybody will assume it's AI. But right now they're falling
for the AI. It is hard to detect. And I
suspect on these local school board or local municipality races,
(22:19):
it'll be really the damage will be.
Speaker 9 (22:21):
Done, especially when there's no local news media, local newspapers
and radio stations, you know, closing up news operations and yeah,
no one to be sort of the gatekeeper there to
help people know, to help guide people to what's real
and what's fake.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Well, I mean I saw the movie Perfect Storm, but
you know they do happen from time to time. But
this is a perfect storm. I mean, what you're alluding
to is real. In nineteen ninety four in Tulsa, Oklahoma,
market number sixty four, I had four reporters, five full
time anchors, five full time talk show hosts. I mean,
(22:55):
we had the staff to do this work. You couldn't
be more vulnerable at the worst possible time, the arrival
of this technology. How does this all play out? People
aren't going to know what's real. Yeah, and it's getting worse.
Speaker 9 (23:09):
And look, you've got Donald Trump also stirring the pot
on the other end, calling into question, you know, the
Kamala Harris Airport photo, saying it was faked, you know,
so when it was real. So now you've sort of
got both ends of the spectrum, not just the fake
stuff that's being generated when you call into question the
authentic stuff again creating more confusion for the voter.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
It was a lot simpler, the advent of newspaper, the
inventive radio, the advent of television, the advent of technology
and social media. This does not look like it has
a happy ending. Rory's going to be back by the
way in our third hour to talk more about the
convention itself last night, and Rory to what I'm trying
(23:51):
to do. Let's try to find something they did right
last night. I mean there were like I'm trying to
think of one speech I can point to, almost Coach Kerr.
But then it was contradicted with the United Auto Workers
president right after he left the stage, and it went
from let's all be Americans to Donald Trump's scab and
corporations are the problem. You know, So both parties are
(24:14):
guilty of this, But how do we get beyond these
partisan divisions? And let's try to find at least something
they did well last night because I'm struggling and I'm
desperately wanting to present that more with Ore O'Neil next
hour or if you're just waking up top by sir.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
The day were pretty obvious.
Speaker 10 (24:30):
Night one of the convention, it definitely ran long, and
by the time he took the stage it was almost
midnight Central time, let alone day two of the convention,
and it was still day one when Joe Biden began
yelling in a forty five minute speech that I think
a lot of the strategists were hoping would be more
about common less about him.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Mark Mayfield has our Biden's end of the Road to
the White House from Last Night.
Speaker 11 (24:56):
Road to the White House twenty twenty four and addressed
the Democratic National Convention in Chicago Monday night. He told
the crowd that he loves America and added voters will
be casting ballots for democracy and freedom in November.
Speaker 12 (25:10):
We're a face of inflection point, one of those rare
moments in history, one of the decisions we make now
well the term and the fate of our nation and
the world.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
For decades to come. That's not hyperbole, I mean it literally.
Speaker 11 (25:25):
He told the crowd. He's not mad at the Democrats
who asked him to drop out of the twenty twenty
four race. Biden said, We're in a battle for the
soul of the nation, and Donald Trump is only stoking
fears for votes. He was expected to accept his party's
nomination just over thirty days ago.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Well, if he was pushed out of the race and
then pushed into the wee hours of the morning, that
created prime time for Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Boy, she still thinks she's running against Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Donald Trump fell asleep at his own trial, and when
he woke up, he made his own kind of history, the.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
First person to for president with thirty four selony convictions.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
The crowd spontaneously went into a lock him up chant.
Unlike Kamala, she didn't stop it. She smirked and nodded,
and it went on for about a minute. And of
course Hillary goes nowhere without her glass ceiling.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
And the other.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Side of that glass ceiling is Kamala Harris raising her
hand and taking the.
Speaker 11 (26:23):
Oath of office as.
Speaker 13 (26:25):
Our farming seventh President of the United States.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Speakers included Congresswoman aoc What's ironic, by the way, The
Washington posta she's one of the breakout stars of the convention.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
So far.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
She's a part of the Justice Democrat squad whose first
job is to overthrow the Democrat Party, and she turns
out the Darling. On Night one, Steve Kerr gave a
very emotional speech about what twelve men and twelve women
can do when they unite at the Olympics and get gold.
What we could do is three hundred and forty two
(26:56):
million Americans united, and then went on to give a
non united, contradicting partisan speech, followed by an United Autoworker
president who wearing a Trump is a Scab t shirt
basically pitted workers against greedy corporations. This was the contradictions
(27:18):
throughout the night. The least electric Kathy Hokel, the New
York Governor, I mean even my son at eighteen one,
who is this? She's awful. I mean, no political future there,
She's no Gavin Newsom, Kentucky Governor Andy Bursheer. Vice President
Harris even made a brief appearance to kick off the
(27:39):
convention night She made it all about Joe, and then
Joe didn't get on until after midnight Eastern time, and
Joe made it all about Joe. Thousands of protesters. Meanwhile,
we're outside, and even though you didn't.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
See him on television, things didn't go all peaceful.
Speaker 13 (27:55):
It started out as a protest, loud but free of
any violence, thousands Union Park to voice anger over the
Biden Harris administration's handling of the war between Israel and
the Palestinians.
Speaker 8 (28:07):
I believe like curving that we're all here, we're all together,
shows like a gratitude of representation for the people who
feel about the marginalize right now.
Speaker 13 (28:14):
But then there was a march to a park a
quarter of a mile from United Center. Then the protesters
broke through the barrier, spilling into the streets.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
The people arrested wrestled to the ground. In Chicago, I'm
Rob Dawson.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Oh, they weren't the only ones that were outside the
convention hall. Free medication, abortions and visectomies were available outside
of the DNC Planned Parenthood parking their mobile units in
different neighborhoods near the convention site. Kind of like ice
cream trucks signaled children, they were signaling visectomies and abortion pills.
(28:49):
They even had marchers dressed as abortion pills.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
They majored in abortion and minored and hatred for Donald
Trump and pushed a president out of the race and
then out of night one and into the early morning
of day two of the convention. And I'm still searching
for something positive other than lighting, sound and signs, but
I can't find it. And that's our convention coverage and
(29:16):
top five stories of the day.
Speaker 13 (29:19):
I'm Jeff Eddie with Efficient Hating and Cooning and my
morning show of your Morning Show with Michael del Dorna.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Night one of the convention one into the wee hours
of the moment? Was that snubbery towards Joe? Was that
just poor planning? Were there any really good moments that
went well inside the room and outside the room and
what went poorly? To give us kind of his take
on the convention night one, say hello to White House
correspondent to John Decker, Good morning, John.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
What'd you think went well? Well?
Speaker 8 (29:48):
The planning, as you point out, did not go well.
You know that a featured speaker went on way after
the time that was supposed to be. It was supposed
to be between ten and eleve PM Eastern time. That's
why all the broadcast networks a lot that time so
that it can be seen by all of the country
and of course that's not what happened, and that's for planning,
(30:10):
and maybe the planners that the DNC learn from the
mistakes from Night number one, so they don't make that
mistake for tonight when former President Barack Obama.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
Will be the future speaker.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
So if I'm looking for a good moment, because these
are tough conventions for me, I'm not a fan of
either party. I think they're a big part of the
problem in this country. But I have more in common
with one than the other, so it's difficult for me.
They certainly if their intent was to create in four
days what they've created in four weeks, the passing of
(30:42):
a Patam it sure looked that they wanted to get
some old icons out of the way in Night one
sacrifice Night one so they can get on to the
future in Night two, three, and four. The problem is
they kind of even buried him very late at night
in doing that, Hillary, the beginning reminiscent of RFK after
(31:02):
JFK's assassination was a nice moment. I didn't care for
the rest of that speech too much, but you know,
and then I'm reading in the Washington Posts they really
think AOC was the star of the night.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
So I don't know what to make of it.
Speaker 8 (31:17):
Well, these things are all in the eye of the beholder.
Who you think was the best speaker during the course
of the evening. AOC was speaking during essentially a prime
speaking slot, given that everything got pushed back quite a bit.
So she had an opportunity to introduce herself to the
(31:39):
public those that may not be familiar with her. And
for Hillary Clinton, you know, a swan song for her.
You know, it was eight years ago that she was
the Democratic presidential nominee. She of course lost to Donald Trump.
So an opportunity to advocate for someone who was trying
to do what she failed.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
To do, which is to beat him.
Speaker 8 (31:57):
And the hope for Democrats is that happened is coming.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
November, all right.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
John Decker, Whitehouse correspondent joining us. Well, if it was
poor planning, and that's gracious, But if it was I
suspect they won't make that mistake tonight.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
You do not waste Barack Obama.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
No, he's good. I mean, he's I think he's the
best there is certainly the best. One of the two
best presidents that I covered, Bill Clinton being the other one,
and speaking to large crowds, and Barack Obama certainly rises
to the occasion. Former First Lady Michelle Obama also so good,
(32:32):
and she will be speaking this evening. And for former
President Obama, his goal is the goal of everybody who's
speaking advocating for the ticket of Kamala Harris and Tim Walls,
making the case for them two undecided.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Voters in particular.
Speaker 8 (32:49):
You know, that's who both political parties are really aiming
their messages to those those rare people who really are
undecided in terms of who they intend to vote for
this coming You're.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Right, You're right to bring up Bill Clinton. He was great.
Not so much anymore.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Barack Obama can still speak and speak very well, and
probably on Tuesday night to not upstage Kamala. On Thursday night,
we saw a lot of abortion, We saw a lot
on women is tonight the night to address the black
vote in America.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
I suspect, yes, well.
Speaker 8 (33:21):
Yeah, I mean I think that's that happened last night
as well. You know, with the speakers, it's a very
diverse party. And for former President Barack Obama, he had
a very diverse coalition that helped elect him president in
two thousand and eight. The voters of color, young voters,
women voters, suburban voters, and what Kamala Harris is trying
(33:43):
to do is to put that coalition back together for her.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michaeldenhill. Join up.
