Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show airs live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern in great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happier here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Well two three, starting your morning off right. A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding because we're
in this stage.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
This is your morning show with Michael o'dill trump. The
Democratic National Convention closed.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It's Monday night with a speech from Joe Biden that
went in to Tuesday morning. Started shortly before midnight East
Coast time. Snubbry, I'll let you decide. Chicago police say
protesters breached a security perimeter at the DNC. Bottles were thrown,
arrests were made, and the FBI has concluded Aroan was
behind the hack of former President Donald Trump's campaign. Good
(00:54):
morning and welcome to Tuesday, the twentieth of August twenty
twenty four on the Aaron streaming live on your iHeart
radio app. This is your morning show. It's our pleasure
to serve you. I'm Michael del Jon along with Jeffrey
lyon running the board in the sound watching the convention
last night, there's no question the Democrats, either by way
(01:16):
of their guest speaking list or signifying a passing of
a torch, they're going to, clearly, through strategy being revealed,
pull off in four days what they've pulled off over
the last four weeks, taking something away from one and
giving it to another enthusiastically for all. So that's the
main game that's being played. That's why Biden has gotten
(01:38):
out of the way the first night really into the
second morning. Same could be said for Hillary. Barack Obama
will usher in the new younger Democrat Party and ultimately
it will lead to a Thursday night coronation. They certainly
majored in abortion and minored in their Trump derangement syndrome.
And there was a lot of mentions and us is
(02:00):
it throughout the week a giant prop book is only
Hollywood could do. I mean, this is about two feet
by one feet this book that's carried out. And then
let the distortions begin on Donald Trump and the conflation
of Donald Trump in Project twenty twenty five to kind
of help us understand all of that, and then really
have a very specific conversation about a reckless Iranian policy
(02:23):
in the Middle East that has us on the brink
of war and what that might look like moving forward.
We turned to Lieutenant Colonel James Karafondo, who is I
think one of the finest military and foreign policy minds
in America today and he presides at the Heritage Foundation.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Good morning, Lieutenant colonel. Good to talk to you.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
How much that I was going to say, good to
be with you, but now I've to listen to that monologue.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Well make it cheery for me? Did you stay up
and watch her?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I did not, But I gotta tell you of everything
to me, the one red line, and you know how
many times I said this. So I'm not a Democrat book,
and I truly am a nonpartisan. But the one thing
that really worries me for this country is is this
is a party that is tolerating.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Anti Semitism and anti Zionism, and this is a road
to poisoning the well of American democracy.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
And there is a difference between Harris and Biden. Biden
in many ways still has some of the DNA of
a traditional Democrat that recognizes that US vital interests. You
cannot walk away from that. And despite everything he did
(03:42):
hurting Israel. Would couldn't let go of the importance of
the US Israeli relationship. Harris does not have that constraint
at all. She's to the left of the squad on
this issue. She will let them drag the party to
the left and this will be you know, tolerance of Islamism,
(04:03):
which is not Islam. It's not the rigin of islamba Islamism.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
Is a political philosophy which basically is authoritarian and in
its character fascists and racist. And we are introducing the
ultimate poison into American society and having it become mainstream
in the American political party. You know, just four years ago,
(04:30):
any political party, any government anywhere in the world that
tolerated the things that these guys are tolerating and talked
about the things that the US government would say that
these guys would be on the pal We can't deal
with them.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Imagine the fire they're playing with. I mean, I appreciate
you bringing up the difference between Muslims, and there were
three types of Mohammeds.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
You have three types of Muslims.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
But when we talk about Islamism, that's a system of
government that is a way of life that is a
form of government, a form of law, law, and a
system of life. And if you and if these women
think they don't like the government restricting their abortion, or
the LGBTQ doesn't think they have enough rights yet, can
(05:12):
you imagine the fire they're playing with. Islam is anathetical
to our every way of life. In fact, there was
a guy named Robert Feder who wrote a book one time,
What's What's in this Christian Republic?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
For non Christians? It was a brilliant book to look
at it.
Speaker 7 (05:28):
All the things you may You may reject christ you
may reject Christianity, you may reject Judaism, but the way
our republic has been set up by our founding fathers,
there's a lot in it for you, even if you're
an atheist and you're playing with fire.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
And by the way, not to contradict you, but it
shocked even me.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Joe Biden threw a bone last night from the stage
to the pro Palace protesters and I was just like,
are you kidding me? And by the way, six more,
six more hostages found dead. I mean Israel's ready for
a cease fire. Hamas won't be because sooner or later
they got admit they killed all the hostages.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
I mean this, this would literally be I mean this
is how bad this is. This would be if a
major political party said white supremacy is kind of okay,
that's how bad this is.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Well, actually did both last night because that's what they
were saying about Donald Trump.
Speaker 8 (06:25):
Uh, Charles was a lie, right, It was a.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Lie prone left source.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
The reason why they said that is because they want
to demonize the Republican Party and said this is a
party to be on the pail At believes is something
that is outside the bounds of what is legitimate in
American society. That's why they went after him. But of
course the irony is is a lie. But at the
same time they're embracing something which is equally if not
more poisonous.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
That's the ultimate and anti Semitism of the ancient. Hey.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Look, their goal is simple, the killing of every last
Jew and the nation of Israel, and then comes Sunday,
the killing of every Christian in the elimination of America.
James Carafinal's a lieutenant colonel joining us from the Heritage Foundation.
I don't know if you saw early on they have
this and I think it's going to be her every night,
or at least that's what she kind of signaled last night.
It's a redheaded state rep from Michigan, and she comes
(07:17):
out with this Hollywood prop literally, I'm not exaggerating, maybe
three feet by two feet book that's supposedly Project twenty five,
And of course they're trying to conflate it as Donald
Trump's completion of dictatorship in his second term, proof that
he will never leave, proof that women will have no rights,
proof that there will be no law that he will
(07:38):
and by the way, most of it is very Sololensky
Barack Obama, and that the things they're accusing this Project
twenty five of are the things they've actually done, which
is the weaponization of the FBI.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Against political opponents, which they just did.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
You want to set people straight on what Project twenty
twenty five and who the author is, because I don't
think it's Donald Trump.
Speaker 8 (07:58):
Well it's not, actually, I mean, so this is of course,
this is the whole joke, right. The Project twenty twenty
five is like one hundred different conservative organizations that got
together and put together the policy book, which came out
wait for it, two years ago, two years ago. We
didn't even know who the Republican nominee was going to be.
That's when the book came out. So that's one.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
The other thing is if it was actually about policy,
you think they would have talked about it two years ago.
But this was not an issue until Joe Biden became
senile and they were looking for a distraction, and so
they went after the book that The interesting thing is
all the things they actually complained about are not actually.
Speaker 8 (08:45):
In the book, right. And here's to the other is
the book was doing complete transparency and every single page
of it is online. Anybody can read it.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
So go read it and you might say, well, there's
stuff in here I disagree with. Well, you know what,
the three hundred people that worked on the book, they
because the whole idea of the book.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
Was to say this is the summary of the conservative
space of what people are thinking, right, And it was
meant more as a menu that the future administration can
pull put, knowing full well that no candidate was going
to We're no was going to say, well, we're going
to do exactly like in the book, like they're a
dumb nut and they you know, they're a nambi and
(09:25):
they just follow the thing, right. And actually there are
chapters in the book where there are there are chapters
that argue with themselves, like the trade chapter. There's actually
some people say we should do this, and some people
say we should do that. So somehow this is you know,
kind of like the book from the Evil Dead, you know,
and the Coma Condors. It's just it's just laughable. But look,
(09:45):
it goes into the category of everything. You know.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
You know, some find people lie, the Harris lies. I mean,
if you look at this, at the root of every
serious criticism they have, it's basically built on a lie.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Well, because you didn't necessarily watch, you should probably go
back and get this clip. You ought to see what
they're doing with it. So what she would do is
go in this giant prop which is clearly a prop.
I mean, you didn't print three feet by two feet books, right,
it was very disney esque.
Speaker 8 (10:15):
All right. Then she'll go five hundred page book.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Well, no, she claimed it was nine hundred and fifty
six pages, and she turned to page five hundred and
forty five, and then she would read a line that
didn't say anything, and then she go, but let me
tell you what this really means, and.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Then just out of the fendble it was, you would
have just there were no words.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Well, listen, once I saw marchers dressed as abortion pills,
once I saw abortion trucks giving out free abortion pills
and vasectomies like an ice cream truck entering a neighborhood,
there were no words for me before the convention began,
let alone by the time she comes out with this.
But it's clear Trump is the boogeyman, and Project twenty
(10:56):
twenty five is his boogie document, his man of festo.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
That's what was presented.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
By the way, the Washington Post was not kind tonight
one of the convention in fact checking at all throughout.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Basically they get credit.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Both parties are guilty of this during conventions, but they
get credit for saying very little truth all night long.
It was all distortions, deceptions and exaggerations, none worse than
Project twenty twenty five. All right, are what are the
odds that Hamas is? Because you know we've talked about
this before. They attack, Israel beats them back, they take hostages.
(11:35):
Eventually they release them their weekend, everybody behaves for a decade,
they stir trouble again.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Second verse same as the first.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
For some reason, this isn't coming to a resolve and
a hostage release. I'm one of the few people that
been saying all along, it's because they're all dead, and
then we just trickle them out. Six more found dead.
What are the odds none of these hostages are alive.
Speaker 9 (12:01):
The last credible report I got, which was about three
weeks ago, was the estimate was there's about thirty people
they could get back alive.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
That's a grim number.
Speaker 8 (12:17):
That's the number I heard, and that was a couple.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Of weeks ago and may not even hold up today.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
All Right, Israel has come to the table, orchestrated by
the United States, they're prepared for a ceasefire.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
We've yet to hear from mah Hamas.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I think the DNC wanted this all cleared up so
they could historically brag about it in real time, and
any threat of nineteen sixty eight protests any chance a
moss is going to come to the table.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
The problem of courses is.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
You know, we keep saying fire, seafire, but that doesn't
actually solve anything. It doesn't solve the problem of law,
doesn't solve the problem of Roan. Look, you know, I'm
an optimist by nature. I think the root of this,
of all the problems in the Middle East are actually
American policy, which is really encouraged, empowered and enable all
(13:13):
the evil forces to strike out when we created this
meth And I would like to say that a president
to come in and reverse policies and fix it, but
I think that it's so bad.
Speaker 8 (13:26):
This is this is a generation.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
This is a generational fix that even reversing policies and
preventing World War three, it's still going to take a
generation to get back to a semblance of a.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Future in this reason because of how bad they've made it.
And here's the other thing. If even if Harris wins,
and even with her impulse to just because all our
advisors are Perranian, the policy that we current have is
not sustainable even for a leftist US government.
Speaker 8 (13:58):
So change is a coming.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah. And it's interesting because that's the whole juggling act.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
She has to distance herself from the very problems that
her and Joe Biden's administration have caused, as if she
wasn't a part of it. And so the question is
what's different about her? And the answer is she may
be even more reckless when it comes to Middle East
policy and Iran specifically.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Well, and you blamed me at the beginning for being
a downer.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Well, I mean, here's the unbelievable injustice, right, which is
they want you to completely ignore the body count. All
the people had died in the Middle East, all the
people had died in Ukraine, all the misery in the
United States, all the opioid deaths, they want you to
just ignore that.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
Now.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Look, I know people were upset with Bush and the
handling of the warrant terrorism and some of that was justified.
And there was a body count there too, and people
were upset about that, and the Left was upset about that.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
But when it's their.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Mistakes and their body count, no lives matter.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Well that's because the theme is winning is everything, and
truth and right doesn't seem to matter as much. You
can read his great work at heritage dot org and
the work of his colleagues. Who's in a Colonel James
Carafano our honor as always, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono. Thanks
for waking up with your morning show. Can't have your
morning show without your voice. That's why we have the
talk back button on your iHeartRadio app. You just hit it,
we get it and it sounds like this one from Phoenix.
Speaker 10 (15:33):
I stayed up to watch Joe, and I wish I hadn't.
My blood pressure was up. We got the bitter, old,
angry man that just spewed a discredited lie after lie.
I was disgusted by that divisius speech.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Well, I will tell you this, it was definitely not
sleepy Joe. It did seem angry. He was shouting for
the virtually the entire forty five minutes. And I don't
know if he's angry that he was forced out of
office or forced to deliver his speech after midnight Easter time,
one or the other. But not a shining moment, hopefully.
(16:12):
I mean, they were only running two and a half
hours late. I wonder if they'll run that late. I mean,
it was convenient that it put Hillary in primetime and
Joe into the wee hours of the morning. I doubt
they make that mistake with Michelle and Barack Obama tonight.
You can also email me at Michael di at iHeartMedia
dot com, like this one from Catherine. I'm just sitting
here trying to figure out what guy shows up at
(16:32):
the Democratic National Convention thinking to himself, you know what, well,
I'm here. I think I'll get a vsectomy. They literally
like ice cream trucks, and we were kids. Had the
Planned Parenthood abortion pill phaseectomy mobile truck going around the
convention area that to go with people marching as abortion pills. Oh,
(16:53):
they majored an abortion and they minored in hatred towards
Donald Trump. Cheryl writes, I'm enjoining the show. So, however,
recently you've been talking over your guests, like Sean Hannity,
Please stop doing that. I have next to me my
ten commandments of this show, and number seven is don't interrupt.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
That's pride interrupting your witness. Hi, it's Michael.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Your morning show could be heard live weekday mornings five
to eight am, six to nine am Eastern in great
cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
We'd love to join you on the drive to work live,
but we're glad you're here now. Enjoyed the podcast and
the wee hours of Tuesday morning. They buried Joe Biden
(17:34):
off the ticket and then they buried him into the
wee hours of the morning. Last night, Chicago police say
protesters breached a security perimeter and the DNC convention, throwing
bottles at police officers.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Some arrests were made.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
The FBI concludes a ron was behind the hack a
former President Trump's campaign and six more bodies of hostages
Israeli hostages found in the Palestinian territory once again last night.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Thanks for waking up with your morning show. Those are
your top stories.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Another story that we're following is some of the nation's
most respected economists have taken a peak. Don't forget Kamala
Harris is the great unknown. It's just purely a narrative.
Right now, Joe's gone, Kamala is in.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Apparently there's no attachment to the policies of the past.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Even my son looked at me last night and said,
why do they keep talking about how bad things are
and how if we elect her, they're going to solve it.
If they know how to solve it, why didn't they
solve it in the three and a half years they were.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Running the country?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Which out of the mouse Babe is an obvious question
and rhetorical, but what would the economists because we don't
even know any really specifics. But bidenmics versus Harris nomics,
are they any different? Well, the economists have weighed in,
and I'm suspecting the news isn't good.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
But Aaron Rayal is here with the story, good morning eron.
Speaker 11 (18:53):
Yes, so this is a big one. We know that
her proposal is vague and am a lot of ambiguity
and left leaning economists Michael left leaning the mainstream ones,
Jason Furman, Ernie Tdeshi the Washington Post editorial board criticizing
the campaign's proposal. Harris is they say that, you know,
they're not really sensible, they could be unhelpful. But here's
(19:15):
the thing. The populist policy promises, which both candidates are doing,
no taxes on tips, money to buy a house, yay,
but then you have to pay for it. And that's
where the economists have a problem with it. They say that,
you know, both Harris and Trump are focusing on these
economic policies that alleviate the pain of high prices. They're
(19:36):
calling that inflation economists, and I know this is going
to be annoying to a lot of people. They have
declared the battle against inflation one. So what they're really
saying is it's semantics. What they're talking about are high prices,
because once inflation happens, the prices go up and then
that's the new price. Essentially, you need wage growth to
contend with it, which we have had, but it's a
(19:57):
hard one to get comfortable with.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
And that's where we are.
Speaker 11 (20:00):
Also, you have things like car insurance and all of
this stuff is higher priced. But she wants to expand
the child's tax credit. She wants to give us twenty
five thousand for a down payment on a new home
for new home buyers. The band the price gouging at
grocery stores, that is a difficult to define, be maybe
impossible to implement. All of this is not getting high
(20:21):
marks from economists.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
So COVID came out. As soon as COVID hit the
mantra that didn't matter if you were watching a television
commercial from a major corporation, if you were watching a
presidential news conference, if you're watching talking heads on television,
the mantra was the same, stay home, stay safe. This
is the new normal to which and I am not
(20:44):
a rocket scientist, you know that, I'm thinking to myself,
this is a virus. This is not a new normal.
Viruses happened. You get them and you die. You get
them and then you live and you're immune. We don't
ever defeat viruses. We absorb them and learn to live
with them. There is no normal. It eventually passes through
her immunity. But what is a new normal is your
(21:05):
reaction to that COVID turning off the economy spending, and
I mean inserting billions and billions and billions and billions
of dollars into an economy unearned. That's inflationary, and it
weakens the value of the dollar. Here's the dynamic, and
that's one of the primary causes, along with decades of
overspending in debt. The reality is everybody's feeling the post
(21:29):
COVID increase in prices, which is close to thirty percent.
Everybody's tracking just the last year. And so there's a
difference between when economists look at inflation and say, okay,
it's under control, because you never go back to those
earlier You'll never go back to pre COVID inflation again.
(21:50):
And that's the difference in this whole equation that makes
what it feels like different than what economists are saying,
and the reality is when you pander for votes in
exchange for freebies, if before it was paying off student
loans and now it's paying off your emergency room bills
or whatever else they're pandering, it's still more government spending
(22:13):
into an economy not attached to a good service, which
creates inflation. It is almost the definition of insanity to
think you can continue to spend your way out of
a spending problem and debt your way out of a
debt problem. That's the part that doesn't match up with
a lot of this rhetoric, and I'm guessing that's the
part that has some of these economists saying, this is
kind of more of the same at a time when
(22:36):
we've almost moved past the last one you created, don't
create anymore anything I said that's wrong.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
No, no, no.
Speaker 11 (22:46):
Not at all, like nothing, None of it is wrong.
It's all spot on in fact. And this is another
thing that I think we really need to talk about
because both both candidates are guilty of it, and this
is a part of trying to be present. You make
these bold promises that are never going to work it out,
and they're both doing it because that like child tax
credit Trump's campaign said that you'll also offer an expansion
(23:09):
of the child tax credit. Jd Vance has been a
serious advocate for the five thousand dollars credit. But all
of this, what it adds up to is that both
candidates do not care about the deficit. Deficit, be damned.
They were going to spend. They're going to spend. They're
going to spend. And this is why I like economics, Michael,
because when it comes down to the numbers, numbers, it's
not yeah, and it's not about and I've always a
(23:31):
lot of people will were but with like data is
what is it figures lion liars figure out. Okay, sure,
but it's really not is it is a partisan And
if you look at like the Committee for a Responsible
Federal Budget, their job is just to look at the
proposals and tell you what that would cause and what
they found. They are nonpartisan. They think that Harris's plan
is going to raise the federal deficit one point seven
(23:52):
trillion over the next decade. They think that Trump's tax
cuts on the rich and the corporations they're going to
add seven trillion to the deficit.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
They also say.
Speaker 11 (24:01):
That the tax on foreign goods, yes, it's designed to
hurt the foreign countries, not us, but it will likely
hurt us. It doesn't matter which side you pick, they're
both gonna cost us. And the only way to fix
this will make everyone furious. You cut spending and you
raise taxes. Now everyone's angry. That's how you fix it.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah, and I'll remind everybody what you said at the outset.
And these are leftist economists because John F. Kennedy and
some right economists would not necessarily agree with that last statement.
But okay, the debate itself is fair to have. It's
kind of a theme that's developed this morning. And I think,
you know, last night, my wife walked in at one
point and said, what's wrong with these people?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
All right? That was her reaction, I think.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
And Nick was just astonished that they're acting like they're
not in office and haven't been in office for four years.
As they're describing everything that's broke. Why didn't they fix
it in three and a half years, which out of
the miles of babies. Lise I was just sitting disgusted
with both parties because I think this is what our
founding fathers envisioned would happen. Steve Kerr was giving a
(25:07):
speech on how, hey, what twelve men and women did
to get gold when they united in Paris, Imagine what
we can do is three hundred and forty two million
Americans who unite. So they talk about uniting America, but
then they give you a very partisan, ununified delivery and
execution moving forward. So the theme is it's all about winning,
but it's about them winning, not us. It's all about
(25:30):
them and not us. And that's what's frustrating. And that's
with a two party system, you're naturally going to be divided.
In a divided house, can't stand and the focus gets divided.
It's us versus them, and really us versus them, and
ours versus d's and none about the us, us the people.
It's hard to keep focused on what is right and
(25:52):
best for us when they're having to do what's right
and best for them to win and the two never meet.
That's the real problem in the essence of it. For sure,
that's fascinating.
Speaker 11 (26:02):
And also we have a spending problem, and this is
this is controversial, and the reason that both candidates are
just like spend, spend, spend is because they know and
this is the dirty little open secret that deficit actually
doesn't matter in the sense that you can constantly print money.
It isn't like a like a household. Will they'll start
taking your things. Now, this will work until it doesn't.
(26:25):
At some point that will that will not work, and
you will have run away inflation. And you know, adding
to the deficit worsens inflation.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Theoretically, Well, it works for them, I mean, Joe Biden
just said goodbye after fifty years in politics. It doesn't
work for America and our generation and the next generation
and our grandchildren's generation who pays for it, both in
taxation and inflation.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
That's the problem exactly. But what it can order.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Whatever you want aaron at a restaurant, But sooner or
later the bill comes.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
And we're gonna all be washing dishes soon.
Speaker 12 (26:58):
You have.
Speaker 8 (27:00):
Not again tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (27:01):
All right, man, you got it? The top five stories
of the day.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Well it first they knocked him off the ticket, then
they knocked him into tomorrow. Last night, it was after
midnight Eastern time, but Joe Biden finally gave his farewell speech.
Speaker 13 (27:15):
He told him the crowd he loves America and added,
voters will be casting ballots for democracy and freedom in November.
Speaker 14 (27:20):
We're a face of inflection point, one of those rare
moments in history when the decisions we make now will
determine the fate of our nation and the world for
decades to come. That's not high properly, I mean of letterally.
Speaker 13 (27:36):
He said, we are 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. He quit the race and
endorsed Kamala Harris after fellow Democrats questioned his mental fitness
and ability to beat Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
A Mark Meyfield, I'm.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Sure he was expecting to speak in prime time. They
were expecting him to give a Kamala speech. He gave
the speech he was going to give had he accepted
the nomination, and all of that put Hillary front and
center in prime time to carry out her old grudge.
Speaker 15 (28:09):
Donald Trump fell asleep at his.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Own trial, and when.
Speaker 11 (28:13):
He woke up, he made his own kind of history,
the first person to run for president with thirty four
felony convictions.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
And then they all chanted in unison, lock him up?
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Did she stop him? She smirked and nodded.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
And let it go for sixty seconds, all in the
name of love, joy and unity, of course, and Hillary
goes nowhere without her pantsuit and glass ceiling.
Speaker 10 (28:39):
On the other side of that glass ceiling is Kamala
Harris raising her hand and taking the.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Oath of office as our fearning seventh President of the
United States.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Well as they put on a good show for television.
Meanwhile on the streets, leaders in Chicago are hoping for
a more peaceful second Day. That's right, things got a
little hairy outside. Rob Dawson has more.
Speaker 15 (29:04):
It started out as a protest, loud but free of
any violence, thousands gathering in Union Park to voice anger
over the Biden Harris administration's handling of the war between
Israel and the Palestinian I.
Speaker 11 (29:15):
Believe like confirming that we're all here, we're all together,
shows like a gratitude of representation for the people who
feel that the marginalized right now.
Speaker 15 (29:23):
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. The people
arrested wrestled to the ground.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
In Chicago, I'm Rob Dawson, as Bob Dylan said, the
times they are a change in seems like yesterday in
Arlington Heights, Illinois, I'd hear that little dingle and I
knew the ice cream truck was in the neighborhood. At
the DNC, it was a different truck, a planned parenthood
truck making the rounds with three medicated abortions and visectomies available.
We had people marching dressed as abortion pills. One was
(30:01):
youth celebrating ice cream. This was a celebration of eliminating youth.
They even had a giant inflatable IUD set up by
another abortion rights group, pure class. No idea what the
ratings are yet, no idea how it played outside of
that room. But the Kamala Harris Magical Mystery Tour will
(30:24):
continue night too. Tonight will feature Barack Hussein Obama and
First Lady Michelle Obama.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
This is Rebecca in spring Hill, Tennessee. And my morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorna on the.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Aaron streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This is your
morning Show. I'm Michael del Jorna.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
We always give the final story to Rory O'Neil. Are
your morning show National Correspondent.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Well, poor Joe got bumped into tomorrow after getting bumped
off the ticket. Poor James Taylor got bumped completely out
of the show. Your review on night one of the
DNC convention.
Speaker 12 (31:00):
Yeah, someone's got to get a stopwatch and a better
handle on some of these speakers. And I think investing
in a hook isn't a bad idea.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Well, they used the hook four weeks ago. I think
they got to use it again last night. Well, they
didn't use it last night.
Speaker 12 (31:14):
As the problem, I'm again Raphael Warnock and Sean Fain
from the U A W.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
I think there are two of the pulports who went
you can't play stuff. Yes, I think.
Speaker 12 (31:28):
Joe the President's daughter, I think did well on the introduction.
You have asked me to find something positive.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
At oh oh oh amen, Amen, Amen, Yes, I agree
one hundred percent. Two things that I thought were a
great moment. I didn't like what happened after it. But
the ovation for Hillary Clinton, I thought that was a
good moment for them. Very reminiscent of RFK getting one
for JFK at the convention after the assassination. And yes,
(31:54):
Joe Biden's daughter, what a what a wonderful, beautiful introduction.
Speaker 12 (31:58):
Yep, So that that was a high. Yeah, let's see
what Michelle and Barack do tonight, you know. And then
I mean, I don't know. Bill Clinton, what's he gonna say. Well,
he's seventy eight, by the way, and they've been trying
to shove him out the back door since the Me
Too movement.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yeah, John Decker, he said, two great speakers to come,
you know, both Bill Clinton. And again in the case
of Bill Clinton, I remember when I was younger and
he'd be in the State of the Union address, I'd
be like oing, oh crap, because I didn't believe in
anything that he stood for. But he was a great speaker.
But he's not anymore. Barack Obama was a great speaker
(32:33):
and he still is, and he might be the one
really orchestrating everything behind the scenes. I think Barack Obama
delivers big tonight, and I suspect Michelle Obama will be
received well. I doubt will probably be going on and
on about the substance of her speech.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
But this is a big night for Barack Obama.
Speaker 12 (32:51):
The woman who runs the Cook Political Report, Amy Walter, Amy,
it's Amy something. She made a great point last night, though,
that the dncnineteen ninety two or ninety six that was
for Bill Clinton, they would have nothing to do with
the DNC of today.
Speaker 8 (33:06):
I mean, it was.
Speaker 12 (33:07):
Back in the days of welfare programs, working with the
body of Ingrich, Ingrid yet Gingrich and then the don't ask,
don't tell policies.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
This DNC and that DNC two completely.
Speaker 12 (33:21):
Different things, and her argument being that Bill Clinton is
a relic of a DNC that doesn't exist today.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Well they did, by the way, did o RNC? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Yeah, But you know what's interesting is Kamala is really
a product of the Clinton camp, where Biden was the
reluctant product of the Obama camp.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
So it's kind of interesting.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
The dynamic tonight's going to be does this party still
belong to Barack Obama, because if it does, it can't
belong to Kamala Harris. Now, Joe Biden was supposed to
give a Kamala Harris speech. He gave a Joe Biden
speech and screened it for forty five minutes. Let's see
if Barack Obama gives a Kamala Harris speech or a
Barack Obama speech tonight.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
That's kind of what I'm looking for? What are you
looking for?
Speaker 12 (34:08):
Yeah, I mean Biden gave the acceptance speech he would
have given on Thursday, with a couple of paragraphs that
were switched out tonight.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 12 (34:18):
I mean everyone says that Michelle Obama is the next star.
She doesn't want it, but they keep on forcing it
because you know, she pushes some.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Buttons for people. But I think she'll be good.
Speaker 12 (34:29):
I don't think she'll be fantastic, but that's typical.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (34:33):
We'll see about Barack. He might go along. He might
be a bit long winded as well. I want to
see if they bring James Taylor back.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
If Rory O'Neill always gets the final story. Great reporting
that Abill talk again tomorrow. We'll all be up late
watching together.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michaelpenhill. Join u.
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show airs live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern in great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happier here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Well two three, starting your morning off right. A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding because we're
in this stage.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
This is your morning show with Michael o'dill trump. The
Democratic National Convention closed.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It's Monday night with a speech from Joe Biden that
went in to Tuesday morning. Started shortly before midnight East
Coast time. Snubbry, I'll let you decide. Chicago police say
protesters breached a security perimeter at the DNC. Bottles were thrown,
arrests were made, and the FBI has concluded Aroan was
behind the hack of former President Donald Trump's campaign. Good
(00:54):
morning and welcome to Tuesday, the twentieth of August twenty
twenty four on the Aaron streaming live on your iHeart
radio app. This is your morning show. It's our pleasure
to serve you. I'm Michael del Jon along with Jeffrey
lyon running the board in the sound watching the convention
last night, there's no question the Democrats, either by way
(01:16):
of their guest speaking list or signifying a passing of
a torch, they're going to, clearly, through strategy being revealed,
pull off in four days what they've pulled off over
the last four weeks, taking something away from one and
giving it to another enthusiastically for all. So that's the
main game that's being played. That's why Biden has gotten
(01:38):
out of the way the first night really into the
second morning. Same could be said for Hillary. Barack Obama
will usher in the new younger Democrat Party and ultimately
it will lead to a Thursday night coronation. They certainly
majored in abortion and minored in their Trump derangement syndrome.
And there was a lot of mentions and us is
(02:00):
it throughout the week a giant prop book is only
Hollywood could do. I mean, this is about two feet
by one feet this book that's carried out. And then
let the distortions begin on Donald Trump and the conflation
of Donald Trump in Project twenty twenty five to kind
of help us understand all of that, and then really
have a very specific conversation about a reckless Iranian policy
(02:23):
in the Middle East that has us on the brink
of war and what that might look like moving forward.
We turned to Lieutenant Colonel James Karafondo, who is I
think one of the finest military and foreign policy minds
in America today and he presides at the Heritage Foundation.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Good morning, Lieutenant colonel. Good to talk to you.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
How much that I was going to say, good to
be with you, but now I've to listen to that monologue.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Well make it cheery for me? Did you stay up
and watch her?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I did not, But I gotta tell you of everything
to me, the one red line, and you know how
many times I said this. So I'm not a Democrat book,
and I truly am a nonpartisan. But the one thing
that really worries me for this country is is this
is a party that is tolerating.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Anti Semitism and anti Zionism, and this is a road
to poisoning the well of American democracy.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
And there is a difference between Harris and Biden. Biden
in many ways still has some of the DNA of
a traditional Democrat that recognizes that US vital interests. You
cannot walk away from that. And despite everything he did
(03:42):
hurting Israel. Would couldn't let go of the importance of
the US Israeli relationship. Harris does not have that constraint
at all. She's to the left of the squad on
this issue. She will let them drag the party to
the left and this will be you know, tolerance of Islamism,
(04:03):
which is not Islam. It's not the rigin of islamba Islamism.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
Is a political philosophy which basically is authoritarian and in
its character fascists and racist. And we are introducing the
ultimate poison into American society and having it become mainstream
in the American political party. You know, just four years ago,
(04:30):
any political party, any government anywhere in the world that
tolerated the things that these guys are tolerating and talked
about the things that the US government would say that
these guys would be on the pal We can't deal
with them.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Imagine the fire they're playing with. I mean, I appreciate
you bringing up the difference between Muslims, and there were
three types of Mohammeds.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
You have three types of Muslims.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
But when we talk about Islamism, that's a system of
government that is a way of life that is a
form of government, a form of law, law, and a
system of life. And if you and if these women
think they don't like the government restricting their abortion, or
the LGBTQ doesn't think they have enough rights yet, can
(05:12):
you imagine the fire they're playing with. Islam is anathetical
to our every way of life. In fact, there was
a guy named Robert Feder who wrote a book one time,
What's What's in this Christian Republic?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
For non Christians? It was a brilliant book to look
at it.
Speaker 7 (05:28):
All the things you may You may reject christ you
may reject Christianity, you may reject Judaism, but the way
our republic has been set up by our founding fathers,
there's a lot in it for you, even if you're
an atheist and you're playing with fire.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
And by the way, not to contradict you, but it
shocked even me.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Joe Biden threw a bone last night from the stage
to the pro Palace protesters and I was just like,
are you kidding me? And by the way, six more,
six more hostages found dead. I mean Israel's ready for
a cease fire. Hamas won't be because sooner or later
they got admit they killed all the hostages.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
I mean this, this would literally be I mean this
is how bad this is. This would be if a
major political party said white supremacy is kind of okay,
that's how bad this is.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Well, actually did both last night because that's what they
were saying about Donald Trump.
Speaker 8 (06:25):
Uh, Charles was a lie, right, It was a.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Lie prone left source.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
The reason why they said that is because they want
to demonize the Republican Party and said this is a
party to be on the pail At believes is something
that is outside the bounds of what is legitimate in
American society. That's why they went after him. But of
course the irony is is a lie. But at the
same time they're embracing something which is equally if not
more poisonous.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
That's the ultimate and anti Semitism of the ancient. Hey.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Look, their goal is simple, the killing of every last
Jew and the nation of Israel, and then comes Sunday,
the killing of every Christian in the elimination of America.
James Carafinal's a lieutenant colonel joining us from the Heritage Foundation.
I don't know if you saw early on they have
this and I think it's going to be her every night,
or at least that's what she kind of signaled last night.
It's a redheaded state rep from Michigan, and she comes
(07:17):
out with this Hollywood prop literally, I'm not exaggerating, maybe
three feet by two feet book that's supposedly Project twenty five,
And of course they're trying to conflate it as Donald
Trump's completion of dictatorship in his second term, proof that
he will never leave, proof that women will have no rights,
proof that there will be no law that he will
(07:38):
and by the way, most of it is very Sololensky
Barack Obama, and that the things they're accusing this Project
twenty five of are the things they've actually done, which
is the weaponization of the FBI.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Against political opponents, which they just did.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
You want to set people straight on what Project twenty
twenty five and who the author is, because I don't
think it's Donald Trump.
Speaker 8 (07:58):
Well it's not, actually, I mean, so this is of course,
this is the whole joke, right. The Project twenty twenty
five is like one hundred different conservative organizations that got
together and put together the policy book, which came out
wait for it, two years ago, two years ago. We
didn't even know who the Republican nominee was going to be.
That's when the book came out. So that's one.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
The other thing is if it was actually about policy,
you think they would have talked about it two years ago.
But this was not an issue until Joe Biden became
senile and they were looking for a distraction, and so
they went after the book that The interesting thing is
all the things they actually complained about are not actually.
Speaker 8 (08:45):
In the book, right. And here's to the other is
the book was doing complete transparency and every single page
of it is online. Anybody can read it.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
So go read it and you might say, well, there's
stuff in here I disagree with. Well, you know what,
the three hundred people that worked on the book, they
because the whole idea of the book.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
Was to say this is the summary of the conservative
space of what people are thinking, right, And it was
meant more as a menu that the future administration can
pull put, knowing full well that no candidate was going
to We're no was going to say, well, we're going
to do exactly like in the book, like they're a
dumb nut and they you know, they're a nambi and
(09:25):
they just follow the thing, right. And actually there are
chapters in the book where there are there are chapters
that argue with themselves, like the trade chapter. There's actually
some people say we should do this, and some people
say we should do that. So somehow this is you know,
kind of like the book from the Evil Dead, you know,
and the Coma Condors. It's just it's just laughable. But look,
(09:45):
it goes into the category of everything. You know.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
You know, some find people lie, the Harris lies. I mean,
if you look at this, at the root of every
serious criticism they have, it's basically built on a lie.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Well, because you didn't necessarily watch, you should probably go
back and get this clip. You ought to see what
they're doing with it. So what she would do is
go in this giant prop which is clearly a prop.
I mean, you didn't print three feet by two feet books, right,
it was very disney esque.
Speaker 8 (10:15):
All right. Then she'll go five hundred page book.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Well, no, she claimed it was nine hundred and fifty
six pages, and she turned to page five hundred and
forty five, and then she would read a line that
didn't say anything, and then she go, but let me
tell you what this really means, and.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Then just out of the fendble it was, you would
have just there were no words.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Well, listen, once I saw marchers dressed as abortion pills,
once I saw abortion trucks giving out free abortion pills
and vasectomies like an ice cream truck entering a neighborhood,
there were no words for me before the convention began,
let alone by the time she comes out with this.
But it's clear Trump is the boogeyman, and Project twenty
(10:56):
twenty five is his boogie document, his man of festo.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
That's what was presented.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
By the way, the Washington Post was not kind tonight
one of the convention in fact checking at all throughout.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Basically they get credit.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Both parties are guilty of this during conventions, but they
get credit for saying very little truth all night long.
It was all distortions, deceptions and exaggerations, none worse than
Project twenty twenty five. All right, are what are the
odds that Hamas is? Because you know we've talked about
this before. They attack, Israel beats them back, they take hostages.
(11:35):
Eventually they release them their weekend, everybody behaves for a decade,
they stir trouble again.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Second verse same as the first.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
For some reason, this isn't coming to a resolve and
a hostage release. I'm one of the few people that
been saying all along, it's because they're all dead, and
then we just trickle them out. Six more found dead.
What are the odds none of these hostages are alive.
Speaker 9 (12:01):
The last credible report I got, which was about three
weeks ago, was the estimate was there's about thirty people
they could get back alive.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
That's a grim number.
Speaker 8 (12:17):
That's the number I heard, and that was a couple.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Of weeks ago and may not even hold up today.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
All Right, Israel has come to the table, orchestrated by
the United States, they're prepared for a ceasefire.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
We've yet to hear from mah Hamas.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I think the DNC wanted this all cleared up so
they could historically brag about it in real time, and
any threat of nineteen sixty eight protests any chance a
moss is going to come to the table.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
The problem of courses is.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
You know, we keep saying fire, seafire, but that doesn't
actually solve anything. It doesn't solve the problem of law,
doesn't solve the problem of Roan. Look, you know, I'm
an optimist by nature. I think the root of this,
of all the problems in the Middle East are actually
American policy, which is really encouraged, empowered and enable all
(13:13):
the evil forces to strike out when we created this
meth And I would like to say that a president
to come in and reverse policies and fix it, but
I think that it's so bad.
Speaker 8 (13:26):
This is this is a generation.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
This is a generational fix that even reversing policies and
preventing World War three, it's still going to take a
generation to get back to a semblance of a.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Future in this reason because of how bad they've made it.
And here's the other thing. If even if Harris wins,
and even with her impulse to just because all our
advisors are Perranian, the policy that we current have is
not sustainable even for a leftist US government.
Speaker 8 (13:58):
So change is a coming.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah. And it's interesting because that's the whole juggling act.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
She has to distance herself from the very problems that
her and Joe Biden's administration have caused, as if she
wasn't a part of it. And so the question is
what's different about her? And the answer is she may
be even more reckless when it comes to Middle East
policy and Iran specifically.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Well, and you blamed me at the beginning for being
a downer.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Well, I mean, here's the unbelievable injustice, right, which is
they want you to completely ignore the body count. All
the people had died in the Middle East, all the
people had died in Ukraine, all the misery in the
United States, all the opioid deaths, they want you to
just ignore that.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
Now.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Look, I know people were upset with Bush and the
handling of the warrant terrorism and some of that was justified.
And there was a body count there too, and people
were upset about that, and the Left was upset about that.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
But when it's their.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Mistakes and their body count, no lives matter.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Well that's because the theme is winning is everything, and
truth and right doesn't seem to matter as much. You
can read his great work at heritage dot org and
the work of his colleagues. Who's in a Colonel James
Carafano our honor as always, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono. Thanks
for waking up with your morning show. Can't have your
morning show without your voice. That's why we have the
talk back button on your iHeartRadio app. You just hit it,
we get it and it sounds like this one from Phoenix.
Speaker 10 (15:33):
I stayed up to watch Joe, and I wish I hadn't.
My blood pressure was up. We got the bitter, old,
angry man that just spewed a discredited lie after lie.
I was disgusted by that divisius speech.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Well, I will tell you this, it was definitely not
sleepy Joe. It did seem angry. He was shouting for
the virtually the entire forty five minutes. And I don't
know if he's angry that he was forced out of
office or forced to deliver his speech after midnight Easter time,
one or the other. But not a shining moment, hopefully.
(16:12):
I mean, they were only running two and a half
hours late. I wonder if they'll run that late. I mean,
it was convenient that it put Hillary in primetime and
Joe into the wee hours of the morning. I doubt
they make that mistake with Michelle and Barack Obama tonight.
You can also email me at Michael di at iHeartMedia
dot com, like this one from Catherine. I'm just sitting
here trying to figure out what guy shows up at
(16:32):
the Democratic National Convention thinking to himself, you know what, well,
I'm here. I think I'll get a vsectomy. They literally
like ice cream trucks, and we were kids. Had the
Planned Parenthood abortion pill phaseectomy mobile truck going around the
convention area that to go with people marching as abortion pills. Oh,
(16:53):
they majored an abortion and they minored in hatred towards
Donald Trump. Cheryl writes, I'm enjoining the show. So, however,
recently you've been talking over your guests, like Sean Hannity,
Please stop doing that. I have next to me my
ten commandments of this show, and number seven is don't interrupt.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
That's pride interrupting your witness. Hi, it's Michael.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Your morning show could be heard live weekday mornings five
to eight am, six to nine am Eastern in great
cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
We'd love to join you on the drive to work live,
but we're glad you're here now. Enjoyed the podcast and
the wee hours of Tuesday morning. They buried Joe Biden
(17:34):
off the ticket and then they buried him into the
wee hours of the morning. Last night, Chicago police say
protesters breached a security perimeter and the DNC convention, throwing
bottles at police officers.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Some arrests were made.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
The FBI concludes a ron was behind the hack a
former President Trump's campaign and six more bodies of hostages
Israeli hostages found in the Palestinian territory once again last night.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Thanks for waking up with your morning show. Those are
your top stories.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Another story that we're following is some of the nation's
most respected economists have taken a peak. Don't forget Kamala
Harris is the great unknown. It's just purely a narrative.
Right now, Joe's gone, Kamala is in.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Apparently there's no attachment to the policies of the past.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Even my son looked at me last night and said,
why do they keep talking about how bad things are
and how if we elect her, they're going to solve it.
If they know how to solve it, why didn't they
solve it in the three and a half years they were.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Running the country?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Which out of the mouse Babe is an obvious question
and rhetorical, but what would the economists because we don't
even know any really specifics. But bidenmics versus Harris nomics,
are they any different? Well, the economists have weighed in,
and I'm suspecting the news isn't good.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
But Aaron Rayal is here with the story, good morning eron.
Speaker 11 (18:53):
Yes, so this is a big one. We know that
her proposal is vague and am a lot of ambiguity
and left leaning economists Michael left leaning the mainstream ones,
Jason Furman, Ernie Tdeshi the Washington Post editorial board criticizing
the campaign's proposal. Harris is they say that, you know,
they're not really sensible, they could be unhelpful. But here's
(19:15):
the thing. The populist policy promises, which both candidates are doing,
no taxes on tips, money to buy a house, yay,
but then you have to pay for it. And that's
where the economists have a problem with it. They say that,
you know, both Harris and Trump are focusing on these
economic policies that alleviate the pain of high prices. They're
(19:36):
calling that inflation economists, and I know this is going
to be annoying to a lot of people. They have
declared the battle against inflation one. So what they're really
saying is it's semantics. What they're talking about are high prices,
because once inflation happens, the prices go up and then
that's the new price. Essentially, you need wage growth to
contend with it, which we have had, but it's a
(19:57):
hard one to get comfortable with.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
And that's where we are.
Speaker 11 (20:00):
Also, you have things like car insurance and all of
this stuff is higher priced. But she wants to expand
the child's tax credit. She wants to give us twenty
five thousand for a down payment on a new home
for new home buyers. The band the price gouging at
grocery stores, that is a difficult to define, be maybe
impossible to implement. All of this is not getting high
(20:21):
marks from economists.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
So COVID came out. As soon as COVID hit the
mantra that didn't matter if you were watching a television
commercial from a major corporation, if you were watching a
presidential news conference, if you're watching talking heads on television,
the mantra was the same, stay home, stay safe. This
is the new normal to which and I am not
(20:44):
a rocket scientist, you know that, I'm thinking to myself,
this is a virus. This is not a new normal.
Viruses happened. You get them and you die. You get
them and then you live and you're immune. We don't
ever defeat viruses. We absorb them and learn to live
with them. There is no normal. It eventually passes through
her immunity. But what is a new normal is your
(21:05):
reaction to that COVID turning off the economy spending, and
I mean inserting billions and billions and billions and billions
of dollars into an economy unearned. That's inflationary, and it
weakens the value of the dollar. Here's the dynamic, and
that's one of the primary causes, along with decades of
overspending in debt. The reality is everybody's feeling the post
(21:29):
COVID increase in prices, which is close to thirty percent.
Everybody's tracking just the last year. And so there's a
difference between when economists look at inflation and say, okay,
it's under control, because you never go back to those
earlier You'll never go back to pre COVID inflation again.
(21:50):
And that's the difference in this whole equation that makes
what it feels like different than what economists are saying,
and the reality is when you pander for votes in
exchange for freebies, if before it was paying off student
loans and now it's paying off your emergency room bills
or whatever else they're pandering, it's still more government spending
(22:13):
into an economy not attached to a good service, which
creates inflation. It is almost the definition of insanity to
think you can continue to spend your way out of
a spending problem and debt your way out of a
debt problem. That's the part that doesn't match up with
a lot of this rhetoric, and I'm guessing that's the
part that has some of these economists saying, this is
kind of more of the same at a time when
(22:36):
we've almost moved past the last one you created, don't
create anymore anything I said that's wrong.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
No, no, no.
Speaker 11 (22:46):
Not at all, like nothing, None of it is wrong.
It's all spot on in fact. And this is another
thing that I think we really need to talk about
because both both candidates are guilty of it, and this
is a part of trying to be present. You make
these bold promises that are never going to work it out,
and they're both doing it because that like child tax
credit Trump's campaign said that you'll also offer an expansion
(23:09):
of the child tax credit. Jd Vance has been a
serious advocate for the five thousand dollars credit. But all
of this, what it adds up to is that both
candidates do not care about the deficit. Deficit, be damned.
They were going to spend. They're going to spend. They're
going to spend. And this is why I like economics, Michael,
because when it comes down to the numbers, numbers, it's
not yeah, and it's not about and I've always a
(23:31):
lot of people will were but with like data is
what is it figures lion liars figure out. Okay, sure,
but it's really not is it is a partisan And
if you look at like the Committee for a Responsible
Federal Budget, their job is just to look at the
proposals and tell you what that would cause and what
they found. They are nonpartisan. They think that Harris's plan
is going to raise the federal deficit one point seven
(23:52):
trillion over the next decade. They think that Trump's tax
cuts on the rich and the corporations they're going to
add seven trillion to the deficit.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
They also say.
Speaker 11 (24:01):
That the tax on foreign goods, yes, it's designed to
hurt the foreign countries, not us, but it will likely
hurt us. It doesn't matter which side you pick, they're
both gonna cost us. And the only way to fix
this will make everyone furious. You cut spending and you
raise taxes. Now everyone's angry. That's how you fix it.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah, and I'll remind everybody what you said at the outset.
And these are leftist economists because John F. Kennedy and
some right economists would not necessarily agree with that last statement.
But okay, the debate itself is fair to have. It's
kind of a theme that's developed this morning. And I think,
you know, last night, my wife walked in at one
point and said, what's wrong with these people?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
All right? That was her reaction, I think.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
And Nick was just astonished that they're acting like they're
not in office and haven't been in office for four years.
As they're describing everything that's broke. Why didn't they fix
it in three and a half years, which out of
the miles of babies. Lise I was just sitting disgusted
with both parties because I think this is what our
founding fathers envisioned would happen. Steve Kerr was giving a
(25:07):
speech on how, hey, what twelve men and women did
to get gold when they united in Paris, Imagine what
we can do is three hundred and forty two million
Americans who unite. So they talk about uniting America, but
then they give you a very partisan, ununified delivery and
execution moving forward. So the theme is it's all about winning,
but it's about them winning, not us. It's all about
(25:30):
them and not us. And that's what's frustrating. And that's
with a two party system, you're naturally going to be divided.
In a divided house, can't stand and the focus gets divided.
It's us versus them, and really us versus them, and
ours versus d's and none about the us, us the people.
It's hard to keep focused on what is right and
(25:52):
best for us when they're having to do what's right
and best for them to win and the two never meet.
That's the real problem in the essence of it. For sure,
that's fascinating.
Speaker 11 (26:02):
And also we have a spending problem, and this is
this is controversial, and the reason that both candidates are
just like spend, spend, spend is because they know and
this is the dirty little open secret that deficit actually
doesn't matter in the sense that you can constantly print money.
It isn't like a like a household. Will they'll start
taking your things. Now, this will work until it doesn't.
(26:25):
At some point that will that will not work, and
you will have run away inflation. And you know, adding
to the deficit worsens inflation.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Theoretically, Well, it works for them, I mean, Joe Biden
just said goodbye after fifty years in politics. It doesn't
work for America and our generation and the next generation
and our grandchildren's generation who pays for it, both in
taxation and inflation.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
That's the problem exactly. But what it can order.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Whatever you want aaron at a restaurant, But sooner or
later the bill comes.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
And we're gonna all be washing dishes soon.
Speaker 12 (26:58):
You have.
Speaker 8 (27:00):
Not again tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (27:01):
All right, man, you got it? The top five stories
of the day.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Well it first they knocked him off the ticket, then
they knocked him into tomorrow. Last night, it was after
midnight Eastern time, but Joe Biden finally gave his farewell speech.
Speaker 13 (27:15):
He told him the crowd he loves America and added,
voters will be casting ballots for democracy and freedom in November.
Speaker 14 (27:20):
We're a face of inflection point, one of those rare
moments in history when the decisions we make now will
determine the fate of our nation and the world for
decades to come. That's not high properly, I mean of letterally.
Speaker 13 (27:36):
He said, we are 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. He quit the race and
endorsed Kamala Harris after fellow Democrats questioned his mental fitness
and ability to beat Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
A Mark Meyfield, I'm.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Sure he was expecting to speak in prime time. They
were expecting him to give a Kamala speech. He gave
the speech he was going to give had he accepted
the nomination, and all of that put Hillary front and
center in prime time to carry out her old grudge.
Speaker 15 (28:09):
Donald Trump fell asleep at his.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Own trial, and when.
Speaker 11 (28:13):
He woke up, he made his own kind of history,
the first person to run for president with thirty four
felony convictions.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
And then they all chanted in unison, lock him up?
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Did she stop him? She smirked and nodded.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
And let it go for sixty seconds, all in the
name of love, joy and unity, of course, and Hillary
goes nowhere without her pantsuit and glass ceiling.
Speaker 10 (28:39):
On the other side of that glass ceiling is Kamala
Harris raising her hand and taking the.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Oath of office as our fearning seventh President of the
United States.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Well as they put on a good show for television.
Meanwhile on the streets, leaders in Chicago are hoping for
a more peaceful second Day. That's right, things got a
little hairy outside. Rob Dawson has more.
Speaker 15 (29:04):
It started out as a protest, loud but free of
any violence, thousands gathering in Union Park to voice anger
over the Biden Harris administration's handling of the war between
Israel and the Palestinian I.
Speaker 11 (29:15):
Believe like confirming that we're all here, we're all together,
shows like a gratitude of representation for the people who
feel that the marginalized right now.
Speaker 15 (29:23):
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. The people
arrested wrestled to the ground.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
In Chicago, I'm Rob Dawson, as Bob Dylan said, the
times they are a change in seems like yesterday in
Arlington Heights, Illinois, I'd hear that little dingle and I
knew the ice cream truck was in the neighborhood. At
the DNC, it was a different truck, a planned parenthood
truck making the rounds with three medicated abortions and visectomies available.
We had people marching dressed as abortion pills. One was
(30:01):
youth celebrating ice cream. This was a celebration of eliminating youth.
They even had a giant inflatable IUD set up by
another abortion rights group, pure class. No idea what the
ratings are yet, no idea how it played outside of
that room. But the Kamala Harris Magical Mystery Tour will
(30:24):
continue night too. Tonight will feature Barack Hussein Obama and
First Lady Michelle Obama.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
This is Rebecca in spring Hill, Tennessee. And my morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorna on the.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Aaron streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This is your
morning Show. I'm Michael del Jorna.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
We always give the final story to Rory O'Neil. Are
your morning show National Correspondent.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Well, poor Joe got bumped into tomorrow after getting bumped
off the ticket. Poor James Taylor got bumped completely out
of the show. Your review on night one of the
DNC convention.
Speaker 12 (31:00):
Yeah, someone's got to get a stopwatch and a better
handle on some of these speakers. And I think investing
in a hook isn't a bad idea.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Well, they used the hook four weeks ago. I think
they got to use it again last night. Well, they
didn't use it last night.
Speaker 12 (31:14):
As the problem, I'm again Raphael Warnock and Sean Fain
from the U A W.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
I think there are two of the pulports who went
you can't play stuff. Yes, I think.
Speaker 12 (31:28):
Joe the President's daughter, I think did well on the introduction.
You have asked me to find something positive.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
At oh oh oh amen, Amen, Amen, Yes, I agree
one hundred percent. Two things that I thought were a
great moment. I didn't like what happened after it. But
the ovation for Hillary Clinton, I thought that was a
good moment for them. Very reminiscent of RFK getting one
for JFK at the convention after the assassination. And yes,
(31:54):
Joe Biden's daughter, what a what a wonderful, beautiful introduction.
Speaker 12 (31:58):
Yep, So that that was a high. Yeah, let's see
what Michelle and Barack do tonight, you know. And then
I mean, I don't know. Bill Clinton, what's he gonna say. Well,
he's seventy eight, by the way, and they've been trying
to shove him out the back door since the Me
Too movement.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yeah, John Decker, he said, two great speakers to come,
you know, both Bill Clinton. And again in the case
of Bill Clinton, I remember when I was younger and
he'd be in the State of the Union address, I'd
be like oing, oh crap, because I didn't believe in
anything that he stood for. But he was a great speaker.
But he's not anymore. Barack Obama was a great speaker
(32:33):
and he still is, and he might be the one
really orchestrating everything behind the scenes. I think Barack Obama
delivers big tonight, and I suspect Michelle Obama will be
received well. I doubt will probably be going on and
on about the substance of her speech.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
But this is a big night for Barack Obama.
Speaker 12 (32:51):
The woman who runs the Cook Political Report, Amy Walter, Amy,
it's Amy something. She made a great point last night, though,
that the dncnineteen ninety two or ninety six that was
for Bill Clinton, they would have nothing to do with
the DNC of today.
Speaker 8 (33:06):
I mean, it was.
Speaker 12 (33:07):
Back in the days of welfare programs, working with the
body of Ingrich, Ingrid yet Gingrich and then the don't ask,
don't tell policies.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
This DNC and that DNC two completely.
Speaker 12 (33:21):
Different things, and her argument being that Bill Clinton is
a relic of a DNC that doesn't exist today.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Well they did, by the way, did o RNC? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Yeah, But you know what's interesting is Kamala is really
a product of the Clinton camp, where Biden was the
reluctant product of the Obama camp.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
So it's kind of interesting.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
The dynamic tonight's going to be does this party still
belong to Barack Obama, because if it does, it can't
belong to Kamala Harris. Now, Joe Biden was supposed to
give a Kamala Harris speech. He gave a Joe Biden
speech and screened it for forty five minutes. Let's see
if Barack Obama gives a Kamala Harris speech or a
Barack Obama speech tonight.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
That's kind of what I'm looking for? What are you
looking for?
Speaker 12 (34:08):
Yeah, I mean Biden gave the acceptance speech he would
have given on Thursday, with a couple of paragraphs that
were switched out tonight.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 12 (34:18):
I mean everyone says that Michelle Obama is the next star.
She doesn't want it, but they keep on forcing it
because you know, she pushes some.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Buttons for people. But I think she'll be good.
Speaker 12 (34:29):
I don't think she'll be fantastic, but that's typical.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (34:33):
We'll see about Barack. He might go along. He might
be a bit long winded as well. I want to
see if they bring James Taylor back.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
If Rory O'Neill always gets the final story. Great reporting
that Abill talk again tomorrow. We'll all be up late
watching together.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
