Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael. I'd love to have you listen to
your morning show live. Every day. We're heard on great
stations like News Talk five point fifty k FYI and
Phoenix News Radio, eleven ninety k EX in Portland and
ten ninety The Patriot in Seattle. Make us a part
of your morning routine. We'd love to have you listen live.
But in the meantime, enjoy the podcast two.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Three Starting your morning off right, a new.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Way of talk, a new way of understanding because we're
in the stupid This is your morning show with Michael
Dell TRN. We're gonna start your morning off right. Get
out of bet coffee's out in the kitchen, sit out
at the table. Let us aggrevate this nod out of you.
(00:44):
Let us get your blood pressure. Yesterday was one for
the books. I'll get into that in a minute. It's
seven minutes after the hour on the airon streaming live
on your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show. I'm
Michael del Journal here to serve you. As Jeffrey Lyon,
he's running the controls. I guess technically you're here to
serve all of us. I am I'm your audio bartender
(01:05):
audio bartender, Well, shake this up for a second. At
least eight people are dead and thousands others injured in
what was like a James Bond movie, an attack through
pagers in Lebanon. The FBI and the US Postal Service
are investigating mail containing white powders sent to election offices
in at least seventeen states. I happen to be broadcasting
(01:27):
from one of them. Under fifty days until the election.
Both presidential candidates are campaigning, but the investigation into Sunday's
alleged attempt attempted assassination a second time in two months
on Trump continues to dominate the headlines. P Diddy spent
to his room, sent to his room, no bail in
(01:48):
his federal charges, and teen accounts are being rolled out
today for Instagram. The whole point was to try to
protect teens from Instagram, give him a specialty in account
that more well, we'll search to understand throughout the morning.
I want to start with this observation. It was a
great political cartoon yesterday. I don't even well, I guess
(02:11):
I could look, couldn't I. Yeah, nineteen hours ago would
have been when nineteen hours ago, about ten o'clock in
the morning. Okay, I'll go with that. So tell me
that we didn't live up to this cartoon. Ten o'clock
in the morning, I post a cartoon. Here's Kamala Harris
and Joe Biden standing next to each other. There is
(02:31):
no place in America for political violence. Then you go
to the next cell. Now that being said, Trump is
an evil dictator who destroyed America and must be stopped
in order to save on democracy. You put that on
the facebooks. I did it. It was just ten o'clock
in the morning. It was just you know, yeah, because
that's isn't that what we're living? Yeah, go over and
over again. And the first time it lasted like two days.
(02:54):
I remember saying after you know, nine to eleven, I
really remember this vividly, and we're talking days and days later,
and you're like, when is it okay to crack a joke?
Like when is it really okay to laugh after what
(03:15):
we all saw? And it took days and days and days.
That's how tragic nine to eleven was. And I thought,
you know, after this assassination attempt the first time in Pennsylvania,
how many days are gonna give him? Seriously, laylo for
the weekend two days, three days, and it was about
two days I think, and then the rhetoric came right back.
(03:36):
Oh yeah this time. Can you believe what unfolded yesterday?
They made the case it's all Donald Trump's fault. I mean,
there was like literally not even a second here is
(04:00):
only picked a handful chunkrm Pierre. We're talking about an
assassination attempt on a president because of misinformation, out of
context information, literally ginning people up into violence. You're saying
there's good people on both sides and a race, which
(04:23):
he never said in South Carolina. He's a threat to democracy,
he's a dictator. And while everybody's debating, does television anchor
saying all that crap to politicians saying all that crap?
Does that make Donald Trump unsafe? Because so far there's
only been assassination assassination attempts against him. Nobody's pointing guns
at anybody else. The question is asked at the White
(04:44):
House in the press room, and she leads with threat
to democracy. Nobody's even taking a day off from the rhetoric.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Listen, just to clarify, So you're saying that the president
and vice president believed that former President Donald Trump should
be toning down his rhetoric.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
So I'll say this, Uh, President Biden has been clear
eyed about the threat that the former president represents to
our democracy. He's been.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
The clear eyed Hama Hama. Yeah, like Joe Biden's been
cleared eyed in a decade. He hasn't been clear eyed
since the last surgery on his eyes. I'm sorry, he's
scary when he comes out like that kind of cranky.
Let me just let that soak in. It's not anything
(05:38):
they're doing. Remember the nine to eleven analogy, not even
a day this time. This is hyperbole. I think they
just seemed disappointed it didn't work. I think I think
by the third attempt they'll be like, all right, what
(05:58):
the hell is going on here? Can anybody he hit
the broadside of a barn? What do we pay you people?
Don't you think we all need to tone down the rhetoric?
Remember when we used to say that.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Just to clarify.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
So you're saying that the president and vice president believe
that former President Donald Trump should be toning down his rhetoric.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
So now only Donald Trump needs to tone down his rhetoric.
They don't. I'll say this, and let me demonstrate by
doing it.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
President Biden has been clear eyed about the threat that
the former president represents to our democracy.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Well, you know, the Clintons have been accused of sea
white water and other things. People just disappearing Hillary kind
of gives you the impression yesterday. We don't have to
wait for a third attempt. This woman sounds upset the
second one failed again. Special. Look, you know it's going
(07:02):
to be something special whenever Hillary comes to the camera.
Still bid after all.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
And I don't understand why it's so difficult for the
press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
So everybody's like, we got to tote it down, not Hillary.
Why can't we be consistent and crucifying this, ma'am? Are
you eating? You know?
Speaker 6 (07:30):
The late great journalist Harry Evans, uh, you know one
time said that, you know, journalists should, you know, really
try to achieve objectivity. And by that he said, I
mean they should cover the object. Well, the object in
this case is Donald Trump, his demogogerating.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
He's an object now, an evil object, an object.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
We can't get a bulleted dough his danger to our
country in the world and stick with it. You know,
they were merciless about what they saw as President Biden's
you know, problems in the debate and calling for him
to your.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Party was merciless. Donald Trump was respectful. That whole thing
was a freaking setup, and you know it because you
were part of it. It was the CNN panel immediately
after the debate as the host of the debate that
launched right into he has to go. These people just
(08:37):
constantly make up lies about Donald Trump. I mean, we
got to follow the bouncing ball and put him on
a whiteboard to keep up with them. Oh, now it
was us that was merciless. He had all the delegates.
You throw him in a trunk like the mafia and
gave him to Kamlin a getaway car. And she's argument
with the GPS withdraw.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
I believe Donald Trump has just qualified him himself over
and over and over again to be a presidential candidate,
let alone a president. The second thing, though, is that
kind of what Trump is counting on is for people
to get desensitized.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I mean, she's all but recruiting, right, I need another shooter.
I'm surprised she didn't say give me that this was
a must hear sound. So here's CNN finally admitting that
Kamala and her people have been lying about Donald Trump
on many occasions, but especially the blood bak.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
It is said by every Democrat working for or around
her campaign every.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Day on this network and every other one. The bloodbath
thing is stated every single day. Okay, let me put
my point in.
Speaker 8 (09:48):
Hereticator blood back, eliminate constitution.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
What do you might say to fare this that you're
referring to Trump's the use of the word blood bath
when he was too what was he talking about? He
was I'm going to explain it to people, because I
there's confusion about this, the use of the word blood
bath when he was talking about, you know, vehicle manufacturing
Johnson in the United States. Vice President Harris improperly and
unfairly mischaracterized that as him saying there would be a
(10:13):
blood bath if he were elected. However, she did not
say that if Trump were elected there would be a
blood path.
Speaker 7 (10:18):
She did not.
Speaker 9 (10:20):
I know you have interviewed and had people out here
and have watched the same coverage I have.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
The bloodvest garbage.
Speaker 10 (10:28):
Is and it is a pillar of the Democratic campaign
against Trump as his dictator.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
As is eliminate the US Constitution. That is one conservative
on the CIDN battle they probably regret having. I can
just roll like this some morning long. By the way,
Bobby can't leave out Howard Stern, and by all means
keep subscribing to Serious XM. May that be no consequence
(10:54):
for this. I to do this a proper setup. First
of all, I am not that human being. I'm not
even me. I have been a Christian since thirteen years old,
and I've done nothing but decrease, not at the rate
I wished I had, fighting, you know, screaming, kicking, trying
(11:19):
not to get on across myself daily. Right, I don't
even recognize myself. The Bible is true, you can transform,
but I just can't. I just gotta say, as a
human being, I can't fathom this morning preparing for my
show to tell you who I hate and who I despise,
(11:40):
Let alone who you should hate and who you should despise.
I'm on a different team called to love, Heal, make peace, Unite.
This from a vocational radio perspective is unconscionable to me.
(12:02):
But again, go back to the theme of the entire segment.
At least the first time everybody laid low for a
couple of days after the assassination this time when it happened.
But they missed again maybe, but for sure, Hey, we
can't give them any kind of bump out of this.
Just stay on the attack. So nobody waiting. And I
(12:23):
cannot believe everybody just seems wanting to blame Donald Trump
for having his life almost taken a second time. Pardon
the second biblical reference, noticing the speck in Donald Trump's
sigh while ignoring the log in their own. But this,
(12:44):
this is what I've been trying to say for almost
eight years now. Donald Trump's been trying to sell you
for about eight years now. It is you they really hate.
Listen this whole idea. If you if you like me,
(13:05):
you're good, and if you don't, you're bad. I mean,
I've been the victim of this. I don't hate the guy.
I hate the people who vote for him. I think
they're stupid. I do. I'll be honest with you, I
have no respect for you. This is what we boil
down to. This is what debate, This is what disagreement.
(13:27):
This is what democracy and the freedom for you to
vote for whoever the heck you want me whoever I want. Oh,
you hate down Trump hate hates you if you vote
for him. The gospel according to Howard's done. Thanks Howard.
Bottom line, this is America at the time, less than
(13:52):
forty eight hours from an assassination attempt, making no apologies
Hillary all but like recruiting, how do we miss again?
And the ultimate gaslight. It's not them, it's not their lies,
it's not their dehumanization, demonization, incitement. It's Donald Trump's fault,
(14:18):
or he should be hated. Let's just keep inciting this
if continued to allow, you're begging for like a guy
smoking in a bomb armory flicking his butts towards the bombs.
(14:43):
You are playing with fire. You're begging for another civil war,
and you've got to be out of your mind to
want that. This is your morning show with Michael del
Chono on the air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app.
(15:04):
I'm Michael del Journal here to serve you. Jeffrey's over
there running the board.
Speaker 11 (15:08):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
He is also manning the phones toll free one eight
hundred six, eight eight ninety five twenty two, eight hundred
and six eight ninety five twenty two. Michael D. At
iHeartMedia dot com. If you want to email Michael D.
We spare you the spelling of the last name Michael
D at iHeartMedia dot com. And of course you have
the talkback button on the iHeartRadio app. I are all
talkbacks as promised. And here's an interesting one.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
What is.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Okay nice to have Shannon Sharp stopping by this morning?
At least eight people are Dad, say thousands of others, Oh,
you're on that you're out of sha shay with him?
You don't call him shan man. That could be what
they were saying. At least eight people are dead, thousands
others injured in attack targeting pagers in leven On, straight
(16:00):
out of a James Bond movie. The FBI in the
Postal Service are investigating mail containing white powder sent to
election offices in at least seventeen states, including the one
I'm broadcasting from, and under fifty days still the election.
The President was in Flint last night and he talked about, well,
only consequential presidents people try to kill. And I'm going
through the list, you know. Then I got to Gerald
(16:23):
Ford and I was like, and Sean P. Diddy Combe
spent another night behind bars after denied bail in his
federal criminal case. All right, so the Babylon B. Listen,
you know, Saturday Night Live. Just a quick analogy. You know,
there were there were some really great decades. In fact,
(16:44):
you go back to the original cast that you in
your memory think is so great. They weren't. But there's
some really, you know, great phases for Sarah and Live.
And then there were some really kind of not so
great phases. I don't know what it is, but right
now the Babylon B is just on a roll. They're
doing some of their funniest stuff. Well they're getting a
(17:04):
lot of material, that's for sure. And so the headline
of the Babylon B was Kamala safe and state Kamala
is safe and stable condition after attempted interview, which I
thought was you know, and then if I read the story,
it's just written hilarious. You know, to take a serious
approach to it. But there's a reason they hide her.
I wanted to start with something a little bit different. Okay,
(17:27):
So the National Association of Black Journalists, Donald Trump goes
there to speak. This is how he's greeted.
Speaker 9 (17:38):
I want to start by addressing the elephant in the room. Sir,
A lot of people did not think it was appropriate
for you to be here today. You have pushed false
claims about some of your rivals, from Nicki Haley to
former President Barack Obama, saying that they were not born
in the United States, which is not true. You have
told four congressmen women of color who were American citizens
(18:00):
to go back to where they came from. You have
used words like animal and rabbit to describe black district attorneys.
You've attacked black journalists, calling them a loser, saying the
questions that they ask are quote stupid and racist. You've
had dinner with a white supremacist at your marologue resort.
So my question, sirved you have now that you are
asking black supporters to vote for you. Why should black
(18:24):
voters trust you after you have used language like that.
Speaker 12 (18:29):
Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been
asked a question so in such a horrible manner.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
A first question you don't even say, hello, how are you?
Are you with ABC?
Speaker 12 (18:41):
Because I think they're a fake news network, a terrible network,
And I think it's disgraceful that I came here in
good spirit. I love the black population of this country.
I've done so much for the black population of this country.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Here's the crowd loving out it. All right, that's how
he's greeted, Very very revealing. I mean, we used to
call it bias. It's something way worse now, reckless, toxic, hateful, inciting,
(19:20):
lynch mob media that we have, all right, So that's
a despicable, I mean despicable way to greet a former president.
What how is Kamala Harris's turn? Remember Joe, she couldn't
show up the first time, she was busy at a
sorority event. So now she finally shows up disrespectfully a
(19:43):
month and a half later. Here's how she's greeted.
Speaker 10 (19:46):
Madam Vice President, thank you so much for doing this
and making the time a little bit busy. Right now,
we want to start on an issue that Americans across
the country says the number one concern, and that's the economy,
A question that has been asked of you and everybody
that's on the Democratic side is.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
And yet to be answered by you.
Speaker 10 (20:06):
I might addether or not voters are better off now
than they wore four years ago.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Okay, she was asked this question to open the debate
and never answered. It was documented it was mocked. I'm
sitting here thinking, you know, somebody at the Harris campaign
sit this one down and give her a pad answer.
She's good at memorizing things. Prosecutor, prosecutor, the power of
(20:32):
my position and my microphone.
Speaker 13 (20:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
I grew up in a middle class family. Auntie, can
I have more beans? I mean, you know, she's got
all those things down path. Somebody give her an answer
to what to say when so noticeably we're all way
worse off three and a half years later. Never mind
the difference between the way Donald Trump was greeted and
she was greeted. It speaks for itself, by the way
(20:58):
noticeably and the Donald Trump one was, and how the
black audience was cheering Donald Trump's handling of that woman.
And notice how quiet the crowd is for Kamala Harris translation.
They may think they're pulling something off that they're nowhere
near pulling off. All right, here we go again. A
couple of weeks later, did anybody give Kamala an answer
(21:21):
for when somebody asks the obvious Ronald Reagan question, are
you better off than four years ago? I'll let you
make the call. Are they better off now than they were?
Four years ago.
Speaker 11 (21:34):
So when we came in, well, first of all, let.
Speaker 14 (21:36):
Me just say it is good to be with the
National Prostration of Black journal Of course, thank you for
the work you do and that your members do every day.
It is very important that we ensure that this organization
and your members always have the resources in the platform so.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
That they can attack Donald Trump and give me some
balls that I still can't you heard.
Speaker 14 (21:53):
So I thank you for hosting me today.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Four years ago.
Speaker 11 (21:57):
When we came in, we came in during the worst
unemployment since the Great Depression cod We came in during
the worst public health epidemic in centuries, came in after
the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War,
(22:21):
and a lot of it do in large part to
the mismanagement.
Speaker 14 (22:24):
By the former president as it relates to COVID.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I might add that the question was in the last
four years, not in so what you have you done
in four years?
Speaker 11 (22:37):
Obviously January sixth, and we had then a lot of
work to do to clean up a mass. As of today,
we have created over sixteen million new jobs, over eight
hundred thousand new manufacturing.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Jobs COVID recovery.
Speaker 11 (22:50):
We have the lowest black unemployment rate in generations. We
have invested in small businesses and there to the benefit
of many people, but including black small businesses, some of
the highest rate of creation of new Black small businesses
in years.
Speaker 14 (23:09):
We have done the work.
Speaker 11 (23:10):
Of capping the cost of prescription medication for our seniors
for issues like insulin, and again them speaking to the
black journalists who care about all people, but in particular,
I'll talk about the impact on black people.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
And you were memorizing this when you could have been
doing what is the Great life from social network.
Speaker 11 (23:28):
Where we know black folks are sixty times more likely
sixty percent excuse me, more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes.
And we have now finally capped the cost of insulin
for our seniors at thirty five dollars a month, cap
the cost of prescription medication for our seniors at two
thousand dollars a year, because we, unlike the former president
(23:48):
who promised to do it, we finally have allowed Medicare
to negotiate drug prices against the big pharmaceutier.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
My point would be, if you were a black person
who was die, okay, that one's a legitimate answer. But
for the American people who are clearly focused on groceries,
gas soaring out of control, rent and mortgages and interest
rates and debt.
Speaker 11 (24:13):
Employ and engage the private sector, in particular home builders
with tax credits to give them the incentive to create
new housing three million by the end of my first
term costs. Understanding that not everybody is handed as a
silver spoon from the debate, works hard and it's trying
(24:33):
to save up for a down payment. Part of my
plan under my Opportunity Economy is to give first time
home buyers a twenty five thousand dollars down payment assistance
so they can just get their foot in the door
to be able to then engage in what will prove
to be their opportunity to build intergenerational wealth. And here's
my personal experience coming at that. I grew up a
(24:56):
middle class kid. My mother was hard working. She raised
me and my sis Jamayah. She's saved up and it
was only by the time I was a teenager that
she could afford to ask you buy her first home.
And I know, and I identify with I know where
I come from, Madame Bisson, and I know, but I'm
just gonna fish. I know that so many people work
(25:18):
so hard and should have the opportunity to just get
their foot in the door. Again, this was not just
about getting by, but getting ahead.
Speaker 14 (25:26):
Please, I'd like to ask you more about the opportunity
economy House.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
It's worthy of note that she's an NPR panelist, there's
another from Politico, and they're all leftists, of course, So
that's her second attempt at answering the question she didn't
answer in the debate, with many of the same answers
as the debate. I'm with the Babylon b Kamala Harris
is in stable condition and doing well after one interview.
(25:58):
The difference in the they were introduced just think said
at all. Trump is alive and well and was in Flint, Michigan.
Brian Shook has Our Road to the White House. Road
to the White House twenty twenty four. Former President Trump
says his presidency was consequential.
Speaker 12 (26:14):
Only consequential presidents get shot at. But yeah, what can
you do. You have to do what you have to do, right,
You have to we have to be brave.
Speaker 15 (26:24):
In his first public appearance since what is being called
the second attempted assassination of him, Trump took part in
a town hall event in Michigan, moderated by Arkansas governor
and former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Trump
went on to say that it is a dangerous business
running for president. Also at the event, Trump said that
(26:46):
he had a nice conversation with President Biden about the
incident in Washington. I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Hundreds are injured in Lebanon in an attack targeting pagers,
pagers of HESBELA members around.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
Four pm, the roote time. At nine am Eastern, we
started getting reports of very large numbers of Hezbullah militants
all wounded, all simultaneously in southern Beirute, in southern Lebanon,
and really all across the country.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
The Israeli military declined to comment on the incident. NBC's
Raf Sanchez said circumstances were very unusual.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
These militants had not been wounded in air strikes or
any obvious kind of military attack, and it then emerged,
according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, that their pagers
had all exploded apparently simultaneously.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Sancha said, it's something like you'd see in a movie theater.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
It feels like something out of an espionage movie, but
that apparently is the case. At this stage, we do
not understand what caused these pagers to explode. One theory
that you're seeing circulating is maybe somehow the batteries were
caused to overheat and that caused them to blow up.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Diddy's bleeding not guilty to sex trafficking and rack tearing charges.
Lisa Taylor has the drama from court yesterday.
Speaker 13 (28:04):
The hip hop mogul appeared in federal court in Lower
Manhattan with his lawyers Tuesday afternoon, looking dazed and without handcuffs.
According to CNN, the judge went out decide whether he'll
be detained until he faces trial, which is what prosecutors
are calling for. Comb's attorneys are proposing he be released
on fifty million dollars bail, using his Miami mansion as collateral.
The indictment, unsealed today, accuses Combs of sexually, abusing and
(28:25):
exploiting women for more than a decade. US Attorney for
the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams, said Combs
used his business empire to carry out criminal activity.
Speaker 16 (28:34):
The indictment alleges between at least two thousand and eight
and the president. Comb's abuse threatened and coerced victims to
fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.
Speaker 13 (28:47):
I'm Lisa Taylor.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
A big celebration is planned for Jimmy Carter. Michael Kastner reports.
Speaker 8 (28:55):
The former president's one hundredth birthday tribute is coming a
bit early. Carter's birthday isn't until October first, but he's
already the longest living president in the country's history. Festivities
are taking place in Atlanta's Fox Theater. Performers include Georgia's
B fifty two's bb Winan's Maren Morris, and the Atlanta
Symphony Orchestra, and over a dozen others. Carter has been
in hospice care since February of last year. I'm Michael
(29:18):
cast and that's your top five stories of the day.
Speaker 16 (29:23):
I'm Jim Schultz in Tampa and my morning show is
your morning show.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Thanks for waking up with your morning show. I'm Michael
del Jor on Good Wednesday to you. All right, is
Michael Jackson with saying I am not alone. I don't
get cursey, all right, So I am like the biggest
idya when it comes to cryptocurrency. I'll be the one
to lead with this, Aaron. The role cryptocurrency is playing
in this presidential election exactly.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
One, A much bigger one than it did in the
previous election. In terms of donations so far, over one
hundred and ninety million from the crypto industry. This is
on both sides the aisle, most of it going to Trump.
Winklevoss twins are leading this coalition. They have donated a
combined ten million to Trump directly, then through super PACs
they've given hundreds of thousands of dollars more in different ways.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Do you know that there's six foot five, two hundred
and twenty pounds and there's two of them.
Speaker 13 (30:15):
I do.
Speaker 7 (30:15):
I got that out of them personally, have you?
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (30:19):
Yeah, they're cool. I know that the people have polarized,
but I will be the first to say and proudly say,
they're cool guys, very nice people. But AnyWho, The point being,
they're not alone. Cracking co founder, he's given a million
bucks to Trump, Ripple Labs, they're two top executives. They've
given to mostly Democratic parties. Actually, Chris Larsen donated nearly
(30:41):
two and a half million to help Democratic candidates and
then Ripple CEO He really just wants his policies passed.
He gave to a Republican who's running against Senator Warren
in Massachusetts, and he gave to a Democrat in California.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
So the role is bigger than ever and big. The
question is why crypto? Why what's the difference? I mean,
why would and they just give cash or convert their
crypto to cash and give I don't. I don't That's
the part I can't connect.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
Well, it's kind of like know what, I liken it too.
If someone gave you six hundred shares of applestock, would
you be like, Nope, don't want it, not interested. You'd
be like thanks, and then you'd convert it to cash.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Oh, so they do. They take it and do with
it exactly.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
That's what Crump is doing. Almost He's keeping very little
in bitcoin. He's converting almost all the cash perrrectly.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
That is the role of crypto, leaning from the big
guys towards Trump. But there's a lot going at one
hundred and ninety million total. And you know what they want.
Speaker 7 (31:36):
They just want Gary Gensler out that he's head of
the SEC. He is like their arch enemy. No One
in crypto likes him, and that's kind of where we're
seeing a lot of the moves.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
So, yeah, they're using politicians to make other statements. A right,
Eara's going to be back to talking about Instagram overhauling
some of its procedures. Yes, we have new teen accounts.
I think we were wanting to protect him a little bit.
Beyond that, we'll have more next hour. We're there. That's
actually in the third hour. Thank you, Eron. We're all
in this together. This is your Morning Show with Michael Till.
(32:08):
Join up.
Hi, I'm Michael. I'd love to have you listen to
your morning show live. Every day. We're heard on great
stations like News Talk five point fifty k FYI and
Phoenix News Radio, eleven ninety k EX in Portland and
ten ninety The Patriot in Seattle. Make us a part
of your morning routine. We'd love to have you listen live.
But in the meantime, enjoy the podcast two.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Three Starting your morning off right, a new.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Way of talk, a new way of understanding because we're
in the stupid This is your morning show with Michael
Dell TRN. We're gonna start your morning off right. Get
out of bet coffee's out in the kitchen, sit out
at the table. Let us aggrevate this nod out of you.
(00:44):
Let us get your blood pressure. Yesterday was one for
the books. I'll get into that in a minute. It's
seven minutes after the hour on the airon streaming live
on your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show. I'm
Michael del Journal here to serve you. As Jeffrey Lyon,
he's running the controls. I guess technically you're here to
serve all of us. I am I'm your audio bartender
(01:05):
audio bartender, Well, shake this up for a second. At
least eight people are dead and thousands others injured in
what was like a James Bond movie, an attack through
pagers in Lebanon. The FBI and the US Postal Service
are investigating mail containing white powders sent to election offices
in at least seventeen states. I happen to be broadcasting
(01:27):
from one of them. Under fifty days until the election.
Both presidential candidates are campaigning, but the investigation into Sunday's
alleged attempt attempted assassination a second time in two months
on Trump continues to dominate the headlines. P Diddy spent
to his room, sent to his room, no bail in
(01:48):
his federal charges, and teen accounts are being rolled out
today for Instagram. The whole point was to try to
protect teens from Instagram, give him a specialty in account
that more well, we'll search to understand throughout the morning.
I want to start with this observation. It was a
great political cartoon yesterday. I don't even well, I guess
(02:11):
I could look, couldn't I. Yeah, nineteen hours ago would
have been when nineteen hours ago, about ten o'clock in
the morning. Okay, I'll go with that. So tell me
that we didn't live up to this cartoon. Ten o'clock
in the morning, I post a cartoon. Here's Kamala Harris
and Joe Biden standing next to each other. There is
(02:31):
no place in America for political violence. Then you go
to the next cell. Now that being said, Trump is
an evil dictator who destroyed America and must be stopped
in order to save on democracy. You put that on
the facebooks. I did it. It was just ten o'clock
in the morning. It was just you know, yeah, because
that's isn't that what we're living? Yeah, go over and
over again. And the first time it lasted like two days.
(02:54):
I remember saying after you know, nine to eleven, I
really remember this vividly, and we're talking days and days later,
and you're like, when is it okay to crack a joke?
Like when is it really okay to laugh after what
(03:15):
we all saw? And it took days and days and days.
That's how tragic nine to eleven was. And I thought,
you know, after this assassination attempt the first time in Pennsylvania,
how many days are gonna give him? Seriously, laylo for
the weekend two days, three days, and it was about
two days I think, and then the rhetoric came right back.
(03:36):
Oh yeah this time. Can you believe what unfolded yesterday?
They made the case it's all Donald Trump's fault. I mean,
there was like literally not even a second here is
(04:00):
only picked a handful chunkrm Pierre. We're talking about an
assassination attempt on a president because of misinformation, out of
context information, literally ginning people up into violence. You're saying
there's good people on both sides and a race, which
(04:23):
he never said in South Carolina. He's a threat to democracy,
he's a dictator. And while everybody's debating, does television anchor
saying all that crap to politicians saying all that crap?
Does that make Donald Trump unsafe? Because so far there's
only been assassination assassination attempts against him. Nobody's pointing guns
at anybody else. The question is asked at the White
(04:44):
House in the press room, and she leads with threat
to democracy. Nobody's even taking a day off from the rhetoric.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Listen, just to clarify, So you're saying that the president
and vice president believed that former President Donald Trump should
be toning down his rhetoric.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
So I'll say this, Uh, President Biden has been clear
eyed about the threat that the former president represents to
our democracy. He's been.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
The clear eyed Hama Hama. Yeah, like Joe Biden's been
cleared eyed in a decade. He hasn't been clear eyed
since the last surgery on his eyes. I'm sorry, he's
scary when he comes out like that kind of cranky.
Let me just let that soak in. It's not anything
(05:38):
they're doing. Remember the nine to eleven analogy, not even
a day this time. This is hyperbole. I think they
just seemed disappointed it didn't work. I think I think
by the third attempt they'll be like, all right, what
(05:58):
the hell is going on here? Can anybody he hit
the broadside of a barn? What do we pay you people?
Don't you think we all need to tone down the rhetoric?
Remember when we used to say that.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Just to clarify.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
So you're saying that the president and vice president believe
that former President Donald Trump should be toning down his rhetoric.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
So now only Donald Trump needs to tone down his rhetoric.
They don't. I'll say this, and let me demonstrate by
doing it.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
President Biden has been clear eyed about the threat that
the former president represents to our democracy.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Well, you know, the Clintons have been accused of sea
white water and other things. People just disappearing Hillary kind
of gives you the impression yesterday. We don't have to
wait for a third attempt. This woman sounds upset the
second one failed again. Special. Look, you know it's going
(07:02):
to be something special whenever Hillary comes to the camera.
Still bid after all.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
And I don't understand why it's so difficult for the
press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
So everybody's like, we got to tote it down, not Hillary.
Why can't we be consistent and crucifying this, ma'am? Are
you eating? You know?
Speaker 6 (07:30):
The late great journalist Harry Evans, uh, you know one
time said that, you know, journalists should, you know, really
try to achieve objectivity. And by that he said, I
mean they should cover the object. Well, the object in
this case is Donald Trump, his demogogerating.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
He's an object now, an evil object, an object.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
We can't get a bulleted dough his danger to our
country in the world and stick with it. You know,
they were merciless about what they saw as President Biden's
you know, problems in the debate and calling for him
to your.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Party was merciless. Donald Trump was respectful. That whole thing
was a freaking setup, and you know it because you
were part of it. It was the CNN panel immediately
after the debate as the host of the debate that
launched right into he has to go. These people just
(08:37):
constantly make up lies about Donald Trump. I mean, we
got to follow the bouncing ball and put him on
a whiteboard to keep up with them. Oh, now it
was us that was merciless. He had all the delegates.
You throw him in a trunk like the mafia and
gave him to Kamlin a getaway car. And she's argument
with the GPS withdraw.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
I believe Donald Trump has just qualified him himself over
and over and over again to be a presidential candidate,
let alone a president. The second thing, though, is that
kind of what Trump is counting on is for people
to get desensitized.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I mean, she's all but recruiting, right, I need another shooter.
I'm surprised she didn't say give me that this was
a must hear sound. So here's CNN finally admitting that
Kamala and her people have been lying about Donald Trump
on many occasions, but especially the blood bak.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
It is said by every Democrat working for or around
her campaign every.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Day on this network and every other one. The bloodbath
thing is stated every single day. Okay, let me put
my point in.
Speaker 8 (09:48):
Hereticator blood back, eliminate constitution.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
What do you might say to fare this that you're
referring to Trump's the use of the word blood bath
when he was too what was he talking about? He
was I'm going to explain it to people, because I
there's confusion about this, the use of the word blood
bath when he was talking about, you know, vehicle manufacturing
Johnson in the United States. Vice President Harris improperly and
unfairly mischaracterized that as him saying there would be a
(10:13):
blood bath if he were elected. However, she did not
say that if Trump were elected there would be a
blood path.
Speaker 7 (10:18):
She did not.
Speaker 9 (10:20):
I know you have interviewed and had people out here
and have watched the same coverage I have.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
The bloodvest garbage.
Speaker 10 (10:28):
Is and it is a pillar of the Democratic campaign
against Trump as his dictator.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
As is eliminate the US Constitution. That is one conservative
on the CIDN battle they probably regret having. I can
just roll like this some morning long. By the way,
Bobby can't leave out Howard Stern, and by all means
keep subscribing to Serious XM. May that be no consequence
(10:54):
for this. I to do this a proper setup. First
of all, I am not that human being. I'm not
even me. I have been a Christian since thirteen years old,
and I've done nothing but decrease, not at the rate
I wished I had, fighting, you know, screaming, kicking, trying
(11:19):
not to get on across myself daily. Right, I don't
even recognize myself. The Bible is true, you can transform,
but I just can't. I just gotta say, as a
human being, I can't fathom this morning preparing for my
show to tell you who I hate and who I despise,
(11:40):
Let alone who you should hate and who you should despise.
I'm on a different team called to love, Heal, make peace, Unite.
This from a vocational radio perspective is unconscionable to me.
(12:02):
But again, go back to the theme of the entire segment.
At least the first time everybody laid low for a
couple of days after the assassination this time when it happened.
But they missed again maybe, but for sure, Hey, we
can't give them any kind of bump out of this.
Just stay on the attack. So nobody waiting. And I
(12:23):
cannot believe everybody just seems wanting to blame Donald Trump
for having his life almost taken a second time. Pardon
the second biblical reference, noticing the speck in Donald Trump's
sigh while ignoring the log in their own. But this,
(12:44):
this is what I've been trying to say for almost
eight years now. Donald Trump's been trying to sell you
for about eight years now. It is you they really hate.
Listen this whole idea. If you if you like me,
(13:05):
you're good, and if you don't, you're bad. I mean,
I've been the victim of this. I don't hate the guy.
I hate the people who vote for him. I think
they're stupid. I do. I'll be honest with you, I
have no respect for you. This is what we boil
down to. This is what debate, This is what disagreement.
(13:27):
This is what democracy and the freedom for you to
vote for whoever the heck you want me whoever I want. Oh,
you hate down Trump hate hates you if you vote
for him. The gospel according to Howard's done. Thanks Howard.
Bottom line, this is America at the time, less than
(13:52):
forty eight hours from an assassination attempt, making no apologies
Hillary all but like recruiting, how do we miss again?
And the ultimate gaslight. It's not them, it's not their lies,
it's not their dehumanization, demonization, incitement. It's Donald Trump's fault,
(14:18):
or he should be hated. Let's just keep inciting this
if continued to allow, you're begging for like a guy
smoking in a bomb armory flicking his butts towards the bombs.
(14:43):
You are playing with fire. You're begging for another civil war,
and you've got to be out of your mind to
want that. This is your morning show with Michael del
Chono on the air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app.
(15:04):
I'm Michael del Journal here to serve you. Jeffrey's over
there running the board.
Speaker 11 (15:08):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
He is also manning the phones toll free one eight
hundred six, eight eight ninety five twenty two, eight hundred
and six eight ninety five twenty two. Michael D. At
iHeartMedia dot com. If you want to email Michael D.
We spare you the spelling of the last name Michael
D at iHeartMedia dot com. And of course you have
the talkback button on the iHeartRadio app. I are all
talkbacks as promised. And here's an interesting one.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
What is.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Okay nice to have Shannon Sharp stopping by this morning?
At least eight people are Dad, say thousands of others, Oh,
you're on that you're out of sha shay with him?
You don't call him shan man. That could be what
they were saying. At least eight people are dead, thousands
others injured in attack targeting pagers in leven On, straight
(16:00):
out of a James Bond movie. The FBI in the
Postal Service are investigating mail containing white powder sent to
election offices in at least seventeen states, including the one
I'm broadcasting from, and under fifty days still the election.
The President was in Flint last night and he talked about, well,
only consequential presidents people try to kill. And I'm going
through the list, you know. Then I got to Gerald
(16:23):
Ford and I was like, and Sean P. Diddy Combe
spent another night behind bars after denied bail in his
federal criminal case. All right, so the Babylon B. Listen,
you know, Saturday Night Live. Just a quick analogy. You know,
there were there were some really great decades. In fact,
(16:44):
you go back to the original cast that you in
your memory think is so great. They weren't. But there's
some really, you know, great phases for Sarah and Live.
And then there were some really kind of not so
great phases. I don't know what it is, but right
now the Babylon B is just on a roll. They're
doing some of their funniest stuff. Well they're getting a
(17:04):
lot of material, that's for sure. And so the headline
of the Babylon B was Kamala safe and state Kamala
is safe and stable condition after attempted interview, which I
thought was you know, and then if I read the story,
it's just written hilarious. You know, to take a serious
approach to it. But there's a reason they hide her.
I wanted to start with something a little bit different. Okay,
(17:27):
So the National Association of Black Journalists, Donald Trump goes
there to speak. This is how he's greeted.
Speaker 9 (17:38):
I want to start by addressing the elephant in the room. Sir,
A lot of people did not think it was appropriate
for you to be here today. You have pushed false
claims about some of your rivals, from Nicki Haley to
former President Barack Obama, saying that they were not born
in the United States, which is not true. You have
told four congressmen women of color who were American citizens
(18:00):
to go back to where they came from. You have
used words like animal and rabbit to describe black district attorneys.
You've attacked black journalists, calling them a loser, saying the
questions that they ask are quote stupid and racist. You've
had dinner with a white supremacist at your marologue resort.
So my question, sirved you have now that you are
asking black supporters to vote for you. Why should black
(18:24):
voters trust you after you have used language like that.
Speaker 12 (18:29):
Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been
asked a question so in such a horrible manner.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
A first question you don't even say, hello, how are you?
Are you with ABC?
Speaker 12 (18:41):
Because I think they're a fake news network, a terrible network,
And I think it's disgraceful that I came here in
good spirit. I love the black population of this country.
I've done so much for the black population of this country.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Here's the crowd loving out it. All right, that's how
he's greeted, Very very revealing. I mean, we used to
call it bias. It's something way worse now, reckless, toxic, hateful, inciting,
(19:20):
lynch mob media that we have, all right, So that's
a despicable, I mean despicable way to greet a former president.
What how is Kamala Harris's turn? Remember Joe, she couldn't
show up the first time, she was busy at a
sorority event. So now she finally shows up disrespectfully a
(19:43):
month and a half later. Here's how she's greeted.
Speaker 10 (19:46):
Madam Vice President, thank you so much for doing this
and making the time a little bit busy. Right now,
we want to start on an issue that Americans across
the country says the number one concern, and that's the economy,
A question that has been asked of you and everybody
that's on the Democratic side is.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
And yet to be answered by you.
Speaker 10 (20:06):
I might addether or not voters are better off now
than they wore four years ago.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Okay, she was asked this question to open the debate
and never answered. It was documented it was mocked. I'm
sitting here thinking, you know, somebody at the Harris campaign
sit this one down and give her a pad answer.
She's good at memorizing things. Prosecutor, prosecutor, the power of
(20:32):
my position and my microphone.
Speaker 13 (20:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
I grew up in a middle class family. Auntie, can
I have more beans? I mean, you know, she's got
all those things down path. Somebody give her an answer
to what to say when so noticeably we're all way
worse off three and a half years later. Never mind
the difference between the way Donald Trump was greeted and
she was greeted. It speaks for itself, by the way
(20:58):
noticeably and the Donald Trump one was, and how the
black audience was cheering Donald Trump's handling of that woman.
And notice how quiet the crowd is for Kamala Harris translation.
They may think they're pulling something off that they're nowhere
near pulling off. All right, here we go again. A
couple of weeks later, did anybody give Kamala an answer
(21:21):
for when somebody asks the obvious Ronald Reagan question, are
you better off than four years ago? I'll let you
make the call. Are they better off now than they were?
Four years ago.
Speaker 11 (21:34):
So when we came in, well, first of all, let.
Speaker 14 (21:36):
Me just say it is good to be with the
National Prostration of Black journal Of course, thank you for
the work you do and that your members do every day.
It is very important that we ensure that this organization
and your members always have the resources in the platform so.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
That they can attack Donald Trump and give me some
balls that I still can't you heard.
Speaker 14 (21:53):
So I thank you for hosting me today.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Four years ago.
Speaker 11 (21:57):
When we came in, we came in during the worst
unemployment since the Great Depression cod We came in during
the worst public health epidemic in centuries, came in after
the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War,
(22:21):
and a lot of it do in large part to
the mismanagement.
Speaker 14 (22:24):
By the former president as it relates to COVID.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I might add that the question was in the last
four years, not in so what you have you done
in four years?
Speaker 11 (22:37):
Obviously January sixth, and we had then a lot of
work to do to clean up a mass. As of today,
we have created over sixteen million new jobs, over eight
hundred thousand new manufacturing.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Jobs COVID recovery.
Speaker 11 (22:50):
We have the lowest black unemployment rate in generations. We
have invested in small businesses and there to the benefit
of many people, but including black small businesses, some of
the highest rate of creation of new Black small businesses
in years.
Speaker 14 (23:09):
We have done the work.
Speaker 11 (23:10):
Of capping the cost of prescription medication for our seniors
for issues like insulin, and again them speaking to the
black journalists who care about all people, but in particular,
I'll talk about the impact on black people.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
And you were memorizing this when you could have been
doing what is the Great life from social network.
Speaker 11 (23:28):
Where we know black folks are sixty times more likely
sixty percent excuse me, more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes.
And we have now finally capped the cost of insulin
for our seniors at thirty five dollars a month, cap
the cost of prescription medication for our seniors at two
thousand dollars a year, because we, unlike the former president
(23:48):
who promised to do it, we finally have allowed Medicare
to negotiate drug prices against the big pharmaceutier.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
My point would be, if you were a black person
who was die, okay, that one's a legitimate answer. But
for the American people who are clearly focused on groceries,
gas soaring out of control, rent and mortgages and interest
rates and debt.
Speaker 11 (24:13):
Employ and engage the private sector, in particular home builders
with tax credits to give them the incentive to create
new housing three million by the end of my first
term costs. Understanding that not everybody is handed as a
silver spoon from the debate, works hard and it's trying
(24:33):
to save up for a down payment. Part of my
plan under my Opportunity Economy is to give first time
home buyers a twenty five thousand dollars down payment assistance
so they can just get their foot in the door
to be able to then engage in what will prove
to be their opportunity to build intergenerational wealth. And here's
my personal experience coming at that. I grew up a
(24:56):
middle class kid. My mother was hard working. She raised
me and my sis Jamayah. She's saved up and it
was only by the time I was a teenager that
she could afford to ask you buy her first home.
And I know, and I identify with I know where
I come from, Madame Bisson, and I know, but I'm
just gonna fish. I know that so many people work
(25:18):
so hard and should have the opportunity to just get
their foot in the door. Again, this was not just
about getting by, but getting ahead.
Speaker 14 (25:26):
Please, I'd like to ask you more about the opportunity
economy House.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
It's worthy of note that she's an NPR panelist, there's
another from Politico, and they're all leftists, of course, So
that's her second attempt at answering the question she didn't
answer in the debate, with many of the same answers
as the debate. I'm with the Babylon b Kamala Harris
is in stable condition and doing well after one interview.
(25:58):
The difference in the they were introduced just think said
at all. Trump is alive and well and was in Flint, Michigan.
Brian Shook has Our Road to the White House. Road
to the White House twenty twenty four. Former President Trump
says his presidency was consequential.
Speaker 12 (26:14):
Only consequential presidents get shot at. But yeah, what can
you do. You have to do what you have to do, right,
You have to we have to be brave.
Speaker 15 (26:24):
In his first public appearance since what is being called
the second attempted assassination of him, Trump took part in
a town hall event in Michigan, moderated by Arkansas governor
and former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Trump
went on to say that it is a dangerous business
running for president. Also at the event, Trump said that
(26:46):
he had a nice conversation with President Biden about the
incident in Washington. I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Hundreds are injured in Lebanon in an attack targeting pagers,
pagers of HESBELA members around.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
Four pm, the roote time. At nine am Eastern, we
started getting reports of very large numbers of Hezbullah militants
all wounded, all simultaneously in southern Beirute, in southern Lebanon,
and really all across the country.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
The Israeli military declined to comment on the incident. NBC's
Raf Sanchez said circumstances were very unusual.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
These militants had not been wounded in air strikes or
any obvious kind of military attack, and it then emerged,
according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, that their pagers
had all exploded apparently simultaneously.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Sancha said, it's something like you'd see in a movie theater.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
It feels like something out of an espionage movie, but
that apparently is the case. At this stage, we do
not understand what caused these pagers to explode. One theory
that you're seeing circulating is maybe somehow the batteries were
caused to overheat and that caused them to blow up.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Diddy's bleeding not guilty to sex trafficking and rack tearing charges.
Lisa Taylor has the drama from court yesterday.
Speaker 13 (28:04):

Speaker 16 (28:34):

(29:18):
cast and that's your top five stories of the day.
Speaker 16 (29:23):
I'm Jim Schultz in Tampa and my morning show is
your morning show.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Thanks for waking up with your morning show. I'm Michael
del Jor on Good Wednesday to you. All right, is
Michael Jackson with saying I am not alone. I don't
get cursey, all right, So I am like the biggest
idya when it comes to cryptocurrency. I'll be the one
to lead with this, Aaron. The role cryptocurrency is playing
in this presidential election exactly.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
One, A much bigger one than it did in the
previous election. In terms of donations so far, over one
hundred and ninety million from the crypto industry. This is
on both sides the aisle, most of it going to Trump.
Winklevoss twins are leading this coalition. They have donated a
combined ten million to Trump directly, then through super PACs
they've given hundreds of thousands of dollars more in different ways.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Do you know that there's six foot five, two hundred
and twenty pounds and there's two of them.
Speaker 13 (30:15):
I do.
Speaker 7 (30:15):
I got that out of them personally, have you?
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (30:19):
Yeah, they're cool. I know that the people have polarized,
but I will be the first to say and proudly say,
they're cool guys, very nice people. But AnyWho, The point being,
they're not alone. Cracking co founder, he's given a million
bucks to Trump, Ripple Labs, they're two top executives. They've
given to mostly Democratic parties. Actually, Chris Larsen donated nearly
(30:41):
two and a half million to help Democratic candidates and
then Ripple CEO He really just wants his policies passed.
He gave to a Republican who's running against Senator Warren
in Massachusetts, and he gave to a Democrat in California.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
So the role is bigger than ever and big. The
question is why crypto? Why what's the difference? I mean,
why would and they just give cash or convert their
crypto to cash and give I don't. I don't That's
the part I can't connect.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
Well, it's kind of like know what, I liken it too.
If someone gave you six hundred shares of applestock, would
you be like, Nope, don't want it, not interested. You'd
be like thanks, and then you'd convert it to cash.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Oh, so they do. They take it and do with
it exactly.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
That's what Crump is doing. Almost He's keeping very little
in bitcoin. He's converting almost all the cash perrrectly.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
That is the role of crypto, leaning from the big
guys towards Trump. But there's a lot going at one
hundred and ninety million total. And you know what they want.
Speaker 7 (31:36):
They just want Gary Gensler out that he's head of
the SEC. He is like their arch enemy. No One
in crypto likes him, and that's kind of where we're
seeing a lot of the moves.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
So, yeah, they're using politicians to make other statements. A right,
Eara's going to be back to talking about Instagram overhauling
some of its procedures. Yes, we have new teen accounts.
I think we were wanting to protect him a little bit.
Beyond that, we'll have more next hour. We're there. That's
actually in the third hour. Thank you, Eron. We're all
in this together. This is your Morning Show with Michael Till.
