Speaker 3 (00:21):
Two three starting your morning off right. A new way

this together.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
This is your morning show with Michael Gilgrundo.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
I gotta admit this year convention is starting to wear
on me. It's done. It's not so much the lack
of sleep, it's the it's the whole grand illusion. I
think I'm a.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Little welcome to the delusion.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
It's a movie I get, and I know how it ends,
and I don't need somebody to keep playing it to
me over and over again. Hey, good morning. Tim Waltz
accepted the vice presidential nomination. The White House says President
Biden spoke with bb NET and Yahoo yesterday. President Trump
held his first outdoor rally since his assassination attempt, and

(01:16):
it looks like we may have a rate cut coming
as soon as September. Good morning, and welcome to Thursday,
the twenty second of August, Year of Our Lord twenty
twenty four on the air and streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show and here to
serve you. I am Michael del Journal That's Jeffrey Lyon
at the controls.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Hi.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
This is a fresh shot cup of coffee that is
cap tot in my iHeartMedia. This is like one of
the greatest ones. Well, it's got a brand name. What's
the what's the big one that everybody?

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yeah? Yeah, but I can do.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
You know, the old days, I was just constantly taking breaks,
going to the kitchen, filled the coffee.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
I do one cup and.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
The last sip tastes fresh as the first, and it's
the same temp.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
It's amazing how they were look at this, look at this.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Why can't we put America in one of these? Look
a look at my coffee pale? Why can't we preserve
and protect the republic like this? Okay, so if you
fell asleep, Uh. The Nancy Pelosi moment was interesting to me.
There's two kinds of Democrats. Now, by the way, they

(02:21):
don't differ that much in beliefs. There's there's nothing in
this current agenda or platform for that matter, there wasn't
vintage Barack Obama. Now, I will admit, you get to
Bill Bill Clinton. Of course you can do that same
with with Barack Obama. Obama stood for marriage between a
man and a woman before he changed his mind. Bill

(02:44):
Clinton for marriage between a man and woman as he
was having sex in the oil office with an intern.
Oopsie oopsy oopsy Oopsee time to make the donuts. Anyway, Yeah,
but they're trying to present this as like some kind
of a passing of a torch to a new generation.

(03:05):
And if you're going to go with that theme, well
then people like Nancy Pelosi, people like Bill Clinton, Hillary,
to some degree, they're outdated. They're an expired product on
a shelf. Beyond just their age, there is a subtle
play here on age. I might add, Bill Clinton used

(03:30):
the punchline last night, and it keeps coming up because
this is what they don't want to come out and
tell you, but they want you to subtly feel. This
is the Party of joy, This is the party of youth,
and the future. This is the Party of Energy. The
other one is the old way America used to live,

(03:50):
an outdated way of believing, and an old man. They
just flip the script. They hit an old, cognitively impaired,
probable parkinson riddled president, then revealed the scandal without the
scandal attaching to them, erased everybody's vote. They just handed

(04:12):
the nomination to somebody who never campaigned once, never received
a single vote. These people are all holding signs and
cheering in the name of democracy when one of the
greatest examples of threat to democracy has just played out,

(04:32):
and apparently the coach himself can't read that defense. No,
it just gets so frustrating. Now it's not as clever
as Barack Obama. Barack Obama can tell a lie very
very eloquently, inspirited and memorably in ten seconds, and it
can take this one doesn't take two hours to explain.

(04:55):
Do I think that Tim Walls is a terrible speaker? No,
I thought he was very, very good. I think he
was a better speaker than Jade Vance. He just wasn't
good at telling the truth. And like all of his party,
when it comes to a woman's body, when it comes

(05:17):
to who you marry and love.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
They will tell you.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
To mind your own business, and the government shouldn't have
any say on what a woman does with her body
or baby. But then the rest of their speech is
everything the government should be in control of, and it
is their business. They are walking speaking contradictions, not to
Republicans or Judeo Christian way of life, They're a contradiction

(05:44):
to themselves. Seems kind of weird. Oh he got weird
in I want to start with a clip. By the way,
you are my summary. Nancy's an expired product. She was
literally the hitman sent to take out Joe. As she

(06:09):
pays tribute to Joe, clicks her dentures and says there's
no place like the Democratic Party and leaves her and
Mayor Pete were like, I don't know. A tree falls
in the forest, does it make a sound? They were
non existent. I know that sounds very unfriendly. I'm not

(06:31):
saying anything bad about him, not say anything good about him.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
They were just they were just. It wouldn't have been
worth your time.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
And had you sat and listened to every word like
I'm forced to do, you wouldn't remember a single one
and it would have made no impact and I shoot
straight with you, Michelle Obama, Barack Obama, very impactful, very good.
Tim Wall's not very truthful, very good speaker. Bill Clinton
was old and painful and moose moments have a way

(07:01):
of feeling personal because they remind us all the clock
is ticking on all of our mortality. But Bill Bill
Clinton is a seventy eight year old now, he doesn't
have any cognitive issues. You can tell he's physically weak.

(07:21):
He even made a reference to this is probably his
last convention. He may not be here at the next one.
He may even know more about his health than has
trickled out. I'm not going to sit here and bash
Bill Clinton. There's a part of me that would look
you in the eye and say I'd give anything to
have a Democrat Party like Bill Clinton again. And I
remember when Bill Clinton got elected. I was scared to

(07:43):
death that America was about to go that left, that
left would be so right compared to today. But he
was just very old. There was no real I mean,
he had a couple of a good one line jokes,
that's about it. He was a soft spoken, very low energy,

(08:09):
very elderly weakened version of Bill Clinton. Tim's the one
to focus on today. Tim's the one that probably deserves
most of our at tension. I'm going to give you
one small clip as an example. This is about nine minutes.
In the first nine minutes was just pure energy, joy
joy joy joy, or the hip crowd, be like us,

(08:32):
hang out with us in school. He's just coach Tim Soldier. Tim.
There's no controversies around any of them or what he believes.
Nothing but kumbai yaof for would we believe even though
we're trampling intolerantly on what you believe? Witness our joy,
Witness our But then he gets to this, you want

(08:56):
to gloss over your own life?

Speaker 1 (08:58):
That's one thing.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
This is the heart of what I felt painfully watching
last night. And if you're up this early, you probably didn't.
But this is Tim Walls. Walls at his best last night.
Great delivery, great energy, not so great on reality and accuracy.

Speaker 5 (09:22):
But not everyone has that same sense of responsibility. Some
folks just don't understand what it takes to be a
good neighbor. Take Donald Trump and jd Vance. Their Project
twenty twenty five will make things much much harder for
people who are just trying to live their lives. They

(09:44):
spend a lot of time pretending they know nothing about this. Well, look,
I coached high school football long enough to know and
trust me on this.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
When somebody takes the time to.

Speaker 5 (09:56):
Draw up a playbook, they're gonna use it.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
They're gonna use it.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Okay, the audio is really low there, and I apologize
for that. Nor do I have an explanation as for
why it's so low and why I can't raise it.
We had on Lieutenant Colonel James Carafanos. We do every Tuesday,
and Project twenty five is led by the Heritage Foundation.

(10:25):
It has nothing to do nor did Donald Trump have
anything to do with the preparation of this document. This document,
first and foremost, is a bunch of minds, policy minds
debating the top issues and the top solutions. They don't
even agree. First of all, they portray it as nine

(10:49):
hundred pages.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
It's not.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
They portray it as some kind of a game plan
of Donald Trump's, who had no involvement whatsoever in it.
And at the time it was written over two years ago,
there was no certainty Donald Trump was even gonna run.
And this isn't even written for people who were planning

(11:14):
to run anticipated to run wasn't even designed to tell
them what to do. This is a bunch of really
smart people in a working paper discussing the top issues
and debating with each other on all of the possible
solutions and what they felt might be the best on
any of the key issues. And then a guy like

(11:39):
this gets up. Trust him, he's a good shot. You
shouldn't have a gun. Our kids should be safe in school.
And that's a complete logical sentence. Or gets up and says,
I'm a coach. And when somebody drops up a playbook,

(12:01):
take it for me. They plan to call those plays.
But Donald Trump did not call that playbook, which is
why he denies it. And for you to say that
in a way, it's just untruthful. So this sounds really
critical and partisan. And I don't mean to be that way.
I try every day not to be. But this is

(12:25):
a grand illusion. This is a script. These are actors
and they're reading the lines no matter what they say,
and there's just too much on the line. Look, if
we can't agree on reality, we can't even begin to
ask the right questions, let alone get the right answers.

(12:47):
And when a bunch of minds get together two years ago,
not talking to anything but each other for the purposes
of why haven't you ever had a discussion like that
where you arrived thinking you understand it, and you make
your case and others make their case and it adds
to your case and you get a more three dimensional
view of it. That's what this was designed to be.

(13:08):
From a leading think tank that's been around for a lifetime.
You just created an enemy out of thin air. And
if you want me to get excited about a heartbeat
away from the president, some coach. I think there are
some Americans that think whether or not he left the

(13:32):
National Guard at deployment, they have a right to kick
that around. The issues he stands for that don't match
their values, their beliefs, or really are founding values and beliefs,
they have a right to criticize that all glossed over.
If you were wondering was Tim Walls going to be

(13:54):
military Tim, governor Tim or coach Tim. The directors in
the writers got together and they wrote the script and
it was Coach Tim. And did he give what looked
like and sounded like a great pep talk? Absolutely? Was
it truthful?

Speaker 1 (14:12):
Not at all?

Speaker 2 (14:16):
Is it a glimpse of probably What's to come tonight?
More grand Illusion, more script, more performance, I fear Yes,
along with another night of lack of sleep. This is
your morning show with Michael del Chno.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Here are the things you need to know.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Coach Tim, and it was Coach Tim accepted the nomination
in a spirited pregame talk. I wrote to the White
House of Brian Shook, starts us off.

Speaker 6 (14:45):
Rode to the White House. Twenty twenty four. Tim Walls
accepted the vice presidential nomination Wednesday night.

Speaker 5 (14:52):
Thank you, first of all, the Vice President Harris.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Thanks for putting your trust.

Speaker 5 (14:59):
In me, for inviting me to be part of this
incredible campaign.

Speaker 6 (15:05):
Speaking at the Democratic National Convention, Walls thanked Harris and
said it's the honor of his life. The sixty year
old Minnesota governor said he's proud to have protected abortion
rights in his state. He also talked about gun control,
adding that our first responsibility is to keep our kids safe.
He also said that if Donald Trump wins, abortion rights

(15:27):
will be stripped away in Washington. I'm Brian Schuk.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Former President Bill Clinton addressed the DNC in Chicago last night.

Speaker 7 (15:35):
More with Mark Mayfield, Clinton lawndon President Biden for giving
up political power and exiting the twenty twenty four race.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
It's a stark contrast to what goes on in the
other party. So I want to thank him for his courage, compassion,
his class, his service, his sacrifice.

Speaker 7 (15:55):
The seventy eight year old also praised the Harris Walls ticket,
calling repair to leaders who spent a lifetime getting the
job done. Without mentioning Donald Trump my name, he said,
the other guy only cares about me myself and I
I'm Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
And then there was Oprah Winfrey with a surprise appearance.

Speaker 8 (16:13):
We're now so fired up, we can't wait to leave
here and.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Do something, as she returned to the old Lord Voltimort,
where you do not you do not dare say his
name when referring to Trump.

Speaker 8 (16:28):
Now, there's a certain candidate that says, if we just
go to the polls this one time and we'll never
have to do it again. Well, you know what you're
looking at, a registered independent who's proud to vote again
and again and again because I'm an American and that's
what Americans do.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yeah, And that's how you create a.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
A straw issue that you simply doesn't exist. Because Donald
Trump never really said that Hey, it's me Michael.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
You can listen to your morning show live on the
air or streaming live on your iHeart app Monday through
Friday from three to six Pacific, five to eighth Central,
and six to nine Eastern on great radio stations like
Talk six to fifty KSTE and Sacramento one oh four nine.
The Patriot in Saint Louis had Impact Radio one oh
five nine and twelve fifty w HDZ in Tampa, Florida.

(17:18):
Sure hope you can join us live and make us
a part of your morning routine. In the meantime, enjoy
the podcast, Good Morning, Welcome to Thursday, August the twenty second.
I am Michael del Jorno, and listen. Here's what you
really need to know waking up. It looks like RFK
is going to be getting out of this race and
casting all of his support to Donald Trump. That's an

(17:39):
interesting call in and of itself. And you're gonna hear
news reports all day. Oh, they just got sunk by
the all new Democrat Party and the burst of energy
for the party. You know, the polling hasn't changed that much.
You're sitting pretty steady at nine percent. Every time I
would break down, not nationwide, but a key swing state.

(18:00):
When you would add in third parties, you would see
Kamala Harris affected by one to one and a half
points more than Donald Trump. So if your goal is
to help Donald Trump, it was still looking good to
me on paper that he stayed in. But somebody thinks
it might be better for Donald Trump for him to

(18:23):
get out and cast his support.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
To Donald Trump. That seems to be coming.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Either they're going to do it today before Kamala's speech
or right after. I also found it very interesting that
the betting markets not only are still favoring Donald Trump,
and listen, this is real money. So when they set
their odds, they're not playing games because they're going to

(18:53):
pay out based on it. And if anything, it ticked
up a little bit. So while America is in this
week long televised sugar high, the oddsmakers haven't changed their
mind about anything. Go to real clear politics, and yes,
I will look you in the eye and say it
has tightened up, but it's only tightened up back to

(19:16):
where it was when they perceived. Joe Biden was well,
I can't tell you, No one can tell you.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
I can tell you.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Twenty million people watch the first night. I can tell
you roughly twenty million watched the second night. We'll get
ratings on last night. I suspect it fell off a bit.
Democrats are showing up to watch.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
Now.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Donald Trump got twenty five million his final night. Let's
see if Kamala surpasses that tonight, and I wouldn't be
shocked if she does.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
I will acknowledge they've got.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
A few more million a night watching than Republicans did.
It's also a lot closer to the election, and they
certainly just did something pretty odd, you know what I mean.
We had a seven month primary season that was just
you know, thrown right out the window. Votes along with it.

(20:21):
I guess that may have generated more curiosity than a
ner assassination. I don't know what to make of all that.
As far as the convention itself last night, just to
shoot straight with you, Nancy and Pete were non players,
in non existence. I guess in Nancy's case, she's that

(20:45):
old party like Bill Clinton, their expiration date.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
They've expired. It's not safe to eat.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Bill Clinton seemed very very old and frail, and frail
didn't really say anything of great significance. And I don't
think nearly in anybody's mind the measurement of influence that
Michelle and Barack Obama had. I am still convinced this
party belongs to Barack Obama and Michelle Obama. And if
one of the goals was to pass the torch, the
torches still in their hands. But then we get to

(21:16):
what the big night was all about last night? Is
he going to show up as military Tim, governor Tim,
servant of the people, Tim, teacher Tim or coach Tim.
It was definitely coach Tim, constant coaching metaphors, And we
were just playing an example earlier about what they did

(21:38):
with Project what he did with Project twenty twenty five,
which simply doesn't exist.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
He's questioning the Trump involvement. You know, they'll deny he's
involved in.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Probably it was written two years ago for everyone to see,
and it's a bunch of policy people discussing the top
problems and everybody giving their opinion, even agreeing with each other,
and what the solutions would be. This is not a
game plan for a president, was never designed to be.
If you're interested in understanding these issues completely and you

(22:14):
are open minded to other people's ideas even when you
disagree having a conversation. That's what the thing is. They've
made it into this straw man enemy. So Donald Trump
is the great insurrectionist, the great narcissist, the great threat
to democracy, and this is his new constitutional false document. Now,

(22:41):
if that were true, I'd be the first person standing
against Donald Trump, and I'd be the first person telling
you that it's just like Hollywood created. I'll never forget.
I was interviewing Rudy Ruttiger and I love the movie Rudy,
and so naturally, you know, I wasn't there. I'm going
by the movie, and I said, I got to tell

(23:03):
you I have three brothers, and to have one brother
steal my wife, my girlfriend, have another brother just be
such a jerk. I mean, why couldn't your brother been
proud of you? I couldn't even been happy for you supportive.
He goes, oh, my brother was the greatest. I said,
your brother was the biggest jerk I have ever seen.

(23:26):
And he goes, Oh, that's just what Hollywood does. You
got to create the tension, and you got to take
all the negative people in life that tell you can't
do something, and you just put it in one character.
You know, you only have so much time in a movie,
so you have one person represent all that to create
the conflict.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
I said, so your brother wasn't that way?

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Oh no, when people get on radio and television and
tell you, are you kidding this? This isn't even a presidency,
This isn't even a political event. This is a great
grand illusion. This is the producer of a movie. And
that's what the left in Hollywood does best. But throughout

(24:06):
the speech, and I will tell you that that Tim
Walls is a great speaker. He has a great energy,
a great stage presence. Just the context. It was all deception,
distortion and lies that I think were pre written for him.

(24:27):
Very merciful in the treatment of his own life story,
and very inaccurate and reckless with the telling of other
peoples in order to make their case of win. I'm
nothing against social study teachers. I have nothing against coach.
A coach changed my life. He didn't teach me much

(24:52):
about baseball. I think I might have known more than him.
Didn't teach me much about basketball. I think I knew
as much.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
As him football.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
I don't think he either of us new enough. But
he sat down and opened a Bible and began to
read the words of Christ to me and changed my eternity.
I love coaches. This one in particular struggled. One of
the deceptions they've been using throughout this campaign is that
the whole abortion argument isn't about life beginning when it's

(25:22):
wanted and discarded when it isn't.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
It certainly isn't about the overturning of Roe v.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Wade, because all that did was send it back to
the States, and the States are handling it the way
the States are handling it, and Donald Trump has said
that's what he will always do. Donald Trump has never
said and never stood for federally banning abortions. If anything,
he makes me uncomfortable when he starts negotiating weeks of
when life begins. I mean that's much twelve weeks, but

(25:51):
you know, certainly about maybe fourteen as we negotiate with
God's creation, this sacredness of life. You were watching this convention,
you would think Donald Trump is a great tyrant. But
when he gets in office, will never leave, even though
he's already been in office.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
And did leave.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
And if you don't think he's gonna create an abortion band,
you don't get it. If you don't think Project twenty
twenty five, written two years before he ran, and not
even written towards him or any any president. It's his document.
You're crazy. I'm a coach. You don't have a playbook
when you don't plan to call the plays. It's riddled,
just craziness. And then this whole abortion argument. They're making

(26:32):
it all about IVF like it's an in vitro debate.
It's just dishonest. It's just theater. But it's gone to
a new level from political theater to Hollywood fiction. And
after three days, I've just had enough of this. I

(26:53):
don't get into epic adventure or sci fi, and that's
what it has become. So I will tell you Nancy
and Pete were like the most average vanilla ice cream.
It just didn't even really happen. I don't thin there's
anybody today they could tell you one thing they said.
So if you didn't watch a convention, you miss Nancy
and mayor Pe, you missed nothing. Bill Clinton, you missed

(27:15):
a very elderly Bill Clinton, a sadly older Bill Clinton,
and have felt like forever and it really didn't move anybody.
As for Tim, and which Tim would show up, wasn't governor.
Wasn't so much military or teacher Tim. It was coach Tim,

(27:35):
and it was your locker room pep talk for the
new Democrat Party.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
It just wasn't very accurate or truthful. Don't know how
to summarize it better than that.

Speaker 6 (27:47):
This is Steve the wrestler, a refugee for the People's
Republic of Minnesota at My Morning Show?

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Is your Morning Show with Michael Del Jorno.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Tonight's the night Kamala Harris will accept the nomination for
President of the United States. Pretty remarkable considering she never
had to run. That's how I'd like to do things.
How can we do that? I'd like to accept the
Master's green jacket, having never actually played in the Masters.
It was you were wondering what to be governor? Would
it be representative? Would it be social studies teacher? No,

(28:19):
it was coach Tim Minnesota governor accepting the vice presidential
nomination last night. And it looks like RFK is about
to leave the race. I'm going to presume Aaron real.
But hey, Michael, I got to ask you a question
that might have been something for off the here or
did you want to answer that on here?

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Off here? Okay?

Speaker 4 (28:37):
It actually is in a I can kind of say
it on Eric, this is uninteresting to listeners. Though you
mentioned you have cats. I'm having some issues with my cat.
I wanted to ask you about your cat experience. Well,
uninteresting the listeners.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah, welcome to our Veterinary weekend show. I'm Michael aaron
Is on the line Aerin. I'm listening. Oh you want
it off the Okay, I was gonna go and answer
your cat question. And you're a married catwoman as opposed
to a lonely single catwoman.

Speaker 4 (29:07):
Yeah, and I've never had cats. This is my first
cat experience. And I'm like, oh, boy, are you like
calling it by its name and it's ignoring you?

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Because that's completely healthy and normal.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
Yes, yeah, I'm like, this thing is not like the
dogs I grew up with.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Is it staring at you causing you to question your existence?

Speaker 1 (29:24):
That's completely normal? And your cat is healthy?

Speaker 2 (29:27):
All right, Target, This is interesting because you can't get
left to target.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Let's fade.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
By the way, this is a very very tough thing
for me. First of all, if you start boycotting everybody
that disagrees with you, you will be on hunger strike tomorrow. No,
there's no corporation that's lily white or clean. So, but
there is something about like Alec Baldwin, for example, if
you ever watch Alec Baldwin when he's like with Jerry

(29:53):
Seinfeld doing coffee with celebrities, he's just my kind of
funny and I just said, I can't breathe.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
He cracks me up.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Every look cracks me up, every line cracks me up,
even though he stands for everything anesthetical to what I
stand for.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
So you have to give yourself an indulgence. And then
there's just something about Target. I don't know what it is.
It's so peaceful when I get in there.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
And this is a company that stands against everything I
stand for. All right, so you would think they are
just in bed with Kamala Harris in this new wave
of left Democrat party. Nothing could upset them all. Think again,
they're CEO. He takes great offense to the price gouging accusations.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
Yeah, you want a corporation to turn their back on you,
go after their profits. That's Brian Cornell's CEO of Target,
sat down on squawk Box yesterday I'm the NBC and
basically rebutted everything she said about price gouging. And by
the way, I've never used the term price gouging as
much as I have the past week. She came out
and said that she wants to go after it, and

(30:53):
then is there even price gougings? Long story short, he
said that we're quote a penny business, and corporate price
gouging in the food and grocery industry just doesn't exist.
He did, retailers have to be responsive to customers or
they risk losing business. There's something like Grosters. The margins
are terrible. They make like two percent in a good
case scenario. So what they lack in actual margin, they

(31:17):
make up foreign volume. In order to bring a lot
of volume in, you have to have lower prices. That's like,
that's the model. This is not This is not like
a super high revenue, super high ROI. This is a
business that has to be steady by pushing out a
lot of products.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
By the way, for those for those listening at home,
Aaron is the specialty reporter for all things business and market,
a Quinnipiac University graduate who knows.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Very little about cats.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
What she's basically saying is the CEO of Targets trying
to explain we wouldn't price gouge even if you let
us get away with it.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
It's just not our business model. That's what she said. Okay,
go ahead.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
Yeah, sorry, Did I do a bad job explaining it?

Speaker 3 (32:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (32:03):
People get I got one coach critique me and say,
don't ever call her your little sister.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
She's a respected reporter.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
I didn't mean it that way, but the way I
always say it is, you're my smart little sister. Sometimes
I got to talk for the rest of us that
didn't pay attention in class and put it in more
simple language.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
But yeah, that's right. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (32:21):
Maybe I'm a weird one that never bothered me. In fact,
I find it so endearing. And also I never get
offended when like a man holds the door for me
all about women's rights, like I'm a working mouth like,
but I'm like, no, that's that's a gentlemanly nice thing
to do. Why are we going after this one?

Speaker 2 (32:35):
So no, thank you, But by the way, it would
be one of the highest compel. I never had a
sister ever. We were three, We were three boys. But
I don't know why since I met you. When I
met you, I didn't feel like we met I felt
like I just feel like we just joined each other's
life in product.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
We've always known each other. But there's just something about you.
I think if I had a little.

Speaker 4 (32:54):
Sister, it would it would would be I had a
big brother, it would be you.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
Ye different, You're like my wife. You studied in college,
me I was at a good time. Michael always felt
the need to entertain the class. But no, but what
you're explaining is because I listen, far be it from me.
I don't get nasty emails for sticking up for Target.
But what he's basically saying is we wouldn't price gouge
if we could get away with it. That's not our
model and it would defeate us if we did it.

(33:20):
But it is interesting that you can't get more left
of Target. And somehow this coronated created presidential candidate has
managed to tick off somebody on her.

Speaker 4 (33:31):
Side exactly exactly, and listen. Target is one of the
consumer brands that has actually responded to shoppers by lowering prices.
They've lowered pricers on everything from like diapers to peanut
butter to back to school. This is what they have
to do to get business, and they're competing with Walmart
and Macy's and all of these companies. What McDonald's brought

(33:53):
back their value meal after getting beaten up for high prices.
That's not their model. Some models are luxury businesses. This
is not one of them.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
Mcdowe's is a whole other topic because they were like
an airline. They need to remember how to smile. They
need to remember how to be on time and fast,
and they need.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
To go back to being affordable. All right, when you
come back.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
You may not recognize it, but if you signed up
for a cell phone or streaming service, you signed away
your rights to take that company to court.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
Oh the fine print.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Another thing my smart little sister read.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
That I didn't. We're all in this together. This is
your Morning Show with Michael nil chowna
