Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show can be heard live five to eight
am Central, six to nine Eastern and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio,
or Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and we're grateful you're here.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Because we're in the stigel.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
This is your morning show with Michael Delchorn.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Seven minutes after the hour, Good morning, and thank you
so much for making us a part of your morning routine.
This is your morning show. I am Michael del Trono
honor to serve you all right, seven after the hour.
The heavy downpours did lead to flash floods in the
East Coast and did lead to two deaths. President Trump's
Doze related spending cuts bill as clear to hurdle in
the Senate. It took the Vice President jd Vance tie
(00:51):
breaking vote to do it, and House Speaker Mike Johnson
says US Attorney General Pam Bondi needs to explain her
statements regarding Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, the President from the tarmac
said he doesn't know why his bass is so obsessed
with Epstein.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
The guy's dead, what does it matter?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
And I was violently, viciously attacked this morning for being
in support of Major League Baseball. I openly confessed. I
stayed up and watched the entire All Star Game, including
the first ever swing off victory thanks to three home
runs by Kyle Schwarber. They combined the All Star Game
(01:30):
and the home run Derby in one to decide a
tie game. It was a great game. American League was
down six to nothing, came back to tie the game,
and then in a swing off, the National League wins
the All Star Game. And then I get viciously attacked
for not being a purist for supporting the swing off viciously.
And may I say two, I think I'm sounding pretty
good for two hours sleep. You did, and it was
(01:51):
worth every second of it. David Sinadi is joining us
from a remote location this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
David, did you stand watching the All Star Game? And
did you see how they ended in with a swing off?
You're a purist?
Speaker 5 (02:02):
No?
Speaker 6 (02:03):
In honor of doing this show. Well, this morning I
went to bed, and so now I didn't see it.
What I did see was an overturned strike call by
electronic measurement for the first time in baseball.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
And I thought to myself, here is our future.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Well, umpires, Yeah, we really don't need an umpire to
sit back there. However, the minor leagues have been doing that,
and you could see it only takes about five seconds
ten seconds to correct it. I think you're going to
I don't think you're going to see Major League Baseball
go to swing offs to end extra runing games in
the regular season, but I do think eventually they're going
(02:43):
to adopt the pitch challenge, which, by the way, I
think there were three challenges. All three the yump was wrong,
all three were corrected, and one was a big strike up.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
All right, maybe I'm overthinking.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
Of umpires on behalf of umpires everywhere if you've ever
done or catchers, which by the way, I did see
the Baseball a card of the sicily on catcher for
the Yankees, who looks just like you when he smiles
from years going by.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Well, that's actually Veto, but that's Veto from the Sopranos
that somebody superimposed and I don't know if that was
Yogi Berra or somebody later, but it did look, I
never watched Sopranos and thought, well, that guy looks like me.
But in putting his face, photoshopping his face on that catcher,
it did look like but it looked like me now.
(03:26):
And then I put it next to that a picture
of me actually catching, until you could see we looked
a little bit different.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
But it looks actually, you looked a little bit better.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
To be honest with you.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
But the thing is is this catchers, right, which because
why were we catchers? Because we were short and slow.
That's why we were catchers. You were a much better
hitter than me. But what all Italians were catchers. That's
what they gave to us. Tell here's Italian kid, give
him a mask.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Okay, that's the way it worked. Greatest position in baseball, hands.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
Down, without a doubt, more fun you couldn't.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I mean every bit that's right.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
But the thing is is we know from watching themire
on different levels that sure they missed three. Did you
did we stop to giving credit for all the ones.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
They got right? Well? And then they said another pretty good. Yeah.
And there's another thing. It used to be a part
of the game. You know. There are some umps that
call them high, some call them low.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Some have different zones, you know, Like I was watching
a game the other day and and the stats point
to this. Sump likes to call inside pitches low and
inside pitches. I'm left handed hitters, Well, that's part of
the strategy, and so the hitters.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Need to know that. The pitchers need to know that.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
So even on those close calls, you're also eliminating part
of the game. But I do think it's coming to
that for balls and strikes, I don't think anybody needs
to be sitting back there not anymore, at least.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
I Getting hit in the face, boy, that's the toughest part.
I'm not sure what of course, getting hit in the
face or getting your thumb tweaked because of the fact
that you had to go down and save one and
the only way you can do is desperately open that
glove and your thumbs get smashed.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Foul balls off the four arm. The mask never really
bothered me. It happens so quick, you know, it just
be over. It's the one in the dirt that if
you were old school and you got in block position,
which they don't even teach it anymore, you would catch
it somewhere else that hurt a lot more. All right,
I want to make sure David s Nanti's our senior contributor.
(05:19):
I want to make sure I'm not overanalyzing things. So
I'm looking at this New York's race. And first of all,
there's the new polling, ma'am. Donnie's at twenty six percent,
Cuomo is now at twenty three percent, Slee was now
at twenty two percent, and Adams, the sitting mayor, is
at thirteen percent.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Now we did have fun with this.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
You do have a comi, a killer, a communist, and
a guardian angel.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
That's a lot to analyze.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
If it plays out, the fifteen percent undecided are going
to decide this race. They seem to be breaking a
little bit more. Slee was way and Cuomo's way. None
are breaking mom Donnie's way, and none are breaking Adam's way.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So as this.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Plays out, I think and Cuomo or Sliwa end up
winning in and of itself, but it could still happen.
But not to overanalyze, but think of the Shenanigan. They
played with rank File to get the Socialists through. Otherwise
there had been a run off in Cuomo would have won.
Now it's going to backfire on him, and at the
end of the day there's going to be And that's
(06:20):
why you see Hakeem Jeffries tap dancing and dodging the endorsement,
not AOC. She's hosting a breakfast for him as we speak.
How much damage is mom Donnie going to do in
a run and lose because of this Shenanigan with rank
file and how much damage is he going to do
to AOC who's not smart enough to distance herself, because
that will be a relevant question in twenty twenty eight?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Am I over analyzing? Now you're head of the curve.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
What you're doing is you're interpreting rightly what people are
saying finally now saying out loud. You're simply applying it
to where's the future going in regards to the Democrat
image as far as elections go. Now, you're big thought,
clearly is that AOC is going to capture enough momentum
from the tribalized, factionalized Democrat.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Which happens early in the primary process right right.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
And if she does capture enough momentum from the tribalized
groups that they unify behind her, then the party has
a problem. Now it may also be However, that Mom
Donnie makes AOC look conservative. I mean, he may actually
be a stalking horse that gives her momentum for being
more rational.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I mean she may now step.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Up and but she's clearly not. But she's that's a
very astute thing. But she's clearly not playing it that smart.
If she's hosting a breakfast, she's embracing it. If they
begin to absorb Mam Donnie's outrageous over the top applied
in a specific place. Because it's one thing to be
on a campaign tchanallel and just bring up these socialists,
(07:52):
you know, pander to the poor.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I'm going to take from the rich. I'm going to
give to you.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Well, you're telling a city and it's businesses and business owners.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I'm going to to at tax you to death.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
I'm going to tenaallyze you take your money, give it
to others unmeans tested and you know, means tested.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
And then I'm gonna get.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Rid of all the cops, and we're gonna have social workers.
I'm gonna have government grocery stores. I mean, that's a
whole different tale. And her hosting the breakfast and her
endorsing it is going to absorb this. It's going to
make And by the way, this is what the far
left wants. They want him to get more crazy, so
I think they'll walk right into it.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
Well, and you know, Michael, what's said about this is
the old reality of baseball and politics.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
You can't beat something with nothing.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
If you trip this track this back, what you really
have is this is the outcome of the fall of
Rudy Giuliani. Rudy Giuliani was America's mayor. He was viewed
as a person of ethics and hard work. He was
running from president of the United States. Rudy lost his
space in reality. And I think New Yorkers who are
(08:56):
not stupid have not found anyone in the republic looking
community that can step up with a level of service
that gives them a viable option. Now, I don't know,
mister Sliwa. I don't mean to disparage him. He may
be a superhero and we're about to discover him. So
I want to be careful. But I know that people
that live in New York are not stupid. They're probably
(09:17):
in a ping pong match of reactionary candidates because both
these political parties in regards to the city of New
York are horrible.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
They're simply horrible.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
The leadership's not in the parties, and the parties are
forwarding the candidates, and so many good people have left
New York and so many people have fallen in New
York that they're really desperate for honest leadership.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I mean, for crime out loud. They're trying to turn
this into a Batman movie.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Oh, it's ridiculous. Closing not closing moment, because we're gonna
have one more segment. But in this segment, closing moment
with David Sanatti, our senior contributor, how this plays out.
If this were a national campaign for president of the
United States, we know how it plays out.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Man.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Donnie gets off to an early just as Bernie Sanders
did twice, just as AOC will in twenty twenty eight,
and then the DNC gets involved and rigs it, and
that can't happen here at the city level.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Ken it.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Well, it's gonna be tough, it's and they're certainly running
pretty late. I mean, the election is this year, so
it's it's hard to know, but it will become You're
the first person who's talking about the undecided boat in
New York City. There are actually real people who think
things through, who work for a living and keep that
city at seven point nine million people moving, and.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Gets you everywhere, my fellow catcher, Yeah, you've got a
better arm than me too.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
I just I startled wrong.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Guys. It was just not fast enough. I could.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
I could throw it on a second from my knees,
especially in Little League. All right, Yah, so now I'm bragging.
I just broke a commandment. Forgive me, I said you
off when we come back. The big story that we
need to talk about is the defunding of NPR. Can
talk about other defundings that have taken place, higher education
and penalties for being anti Semitic, the dismantling and the
(11:06):
Supreme Court victory to dismantle the Department of Education. These
are all huge stories. We could add to that, how
the trans movement just died instantly. The president in his
first term and finalizing in his second term, has destroyed
biased death of journalism. And I think these are more
(11:27):
than just Trump victories. These are more than just activist
judge defeats. This is a president that is uprooting about
You'll go all the way back to Woodrow Wilson, but
literally fifty to seventy five years of progressive and cultural
and political progress and the president's uprooting it. It makes them
one of the most significant game changing presidents, not just
(11:49):
in our lifetime, but of the past one hundred years,
or at least.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I'll ask you that when we come back.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
If you ever heard of karraluma, it's an edible cactus
from India, and it's known for naturally suppressing appetite. It's
just one of the key ingredients and the breakthrough weight
loss supplement that I take LEAN. So if you're aiming
to stop you oyawing, steady weight loss and a process
that makes you feel great, Lean could be your answer.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
It's certainly been mine.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Doctors behind Lien say it's the closest thing they've come
to replicating the benefits of popular injections without the needles.
It helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels, controls appetite and cravings.
Best of all, it's rare. Natural ingredients are formulated in
a way that your body burns fat by converting it
to energy better. I keep stressing this, You're gonna love
(12:40):
the way you feel, then you're gonna love the steady slow,
steady weight loss in the best part. No needles, just results.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
You know it's Wednesday, July the sixteenth, because we're visiting
with David Zanati, our senior contributor who visits with us
every Wednesday. David, I want to get to our top story,
which is we got the NPR story, the President defunding NPR.
There's also been the fines and the cutting off and
the threatening of cutting off a lot of the funding
for higher education. I'm trying to think the Supreme Court
(13:51):
victory that allowed the defunding of the Department of Education,
which has only been existing since nineteen seventy nine. We
can talk about its track record not being very good
on the scoreboard, but a lot of these things they
don't add up to an activist judge failing, whether it's
an appellate judge or the Supreme Court, or even another
victory for Donald Trump. The significance of what Trump is
(14:12):
new doing now, in real time and for all time
is the uprooting of about seventy years of leftist progress
politically and culturally. I hope people aren't missing that, and
I'm in awe of it. Like the wokeness stuff dying.
I didn't think what took seventy years to slowly boil
(14:32):
the frog. He's pulling it up by the root instantly.
It's amazing.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
Well, I think that the vote that just happened is
a bit sobering because when you consider the fact that
Elon Musk was on track to establish a premise to
present a clinical report on how to get to.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
A trillion dollars in spending custo. Now he wasn't making them.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
He was able to try to put this together to
show that if we could save a trillion and grow
a trillion we could reach a balanced budget. Even if
it took us ten years, we could get there. And
the best we could do was a tied Senate even
though the Republicans had fifty four votes. The best we
could do was a fifty to fifty tie to cut.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Nine billion dollars.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
The last time I checked, nine billion is a smaller
than a trillion. And that shows you the depth of
the corruption of the infrastructure of the United States Congress,
particularly the US Senate. And I feel for Mike Johnson
because he's dealing with a giant pile of you know
what on the next block called the US Senate, and
(15:45):
it is a mess. And that shows you how deeply
corrupt the Republican Party is and the Democrat Party, both
of them together in the US Senate, MI go forty
five years. I'm telling you this is Colin Balls and
strikes man. The bad guys are sitting in the Senate.
And it doesn't matter what party or or what letters
(16:05):
with them, whether there are these or i's. They are
corrupt and they like government super big, and they like
taxing people.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I don't think they like people. I just think they
like money.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Well, you know, we talked earlier about that's how important
flipping those seats in Montana, West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania
turned out to be. How important presidential elections can be
with tie breaking vice president votes. But yes, by and large,
this is just like unused money and what to do
with it and cuts the doge discovers and you can't
even get more than nine billion there. That's pretty sobering
(16:40):
in general.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Big message, Well, there is a message to the public
broadcasting and NPR. You know, if you do go too far,
the system will bite you back, and they certainly have
they did to themselves.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Yeah, all right, David's gonna be back tomorrow too. Get
a double shot of DZ.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Hey.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
I'm Olympic gold medalist Scott Hamilton and my morning show
is your Morning show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can
be heard live each weekday morning five to eight Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Nashville, Tennessee
two below, Mississippi and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be
a part of your morning routine and take the drive
to work with you, but better late than never. We're
grateful you're here now, enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Can't have your morning show without your voice. We've talked
about so much. The talkbacks have piled up, so let's
break them down, shall we. We're gonna start with Randy
and I have no idea from where Greenwood, Indiana.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Indiana saying sounds a whole lot like being Ghazi Clinton saying, well,
what difference doesn't matter anymore?
Speaker 6 (17:53):
You know what, it still matters that needs to be cleaned.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Up, and so does this Epstein things.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Bill had an email at Michael di atiheartmedia dot com
bringing up the exact same thing, the coincidence with Hillary
and Benghazi, and he said, day one, we should release
the name of high profile democrat with suspected offenses. Well,
(18:22):
first of all, I think you would say day one,
if you want to go that route, release all the
names period. The problem is it's a case, a case
that hasn't been settled by a jury, and a case
that has been they can't move forward because the accused
killed himself or so they allege, but he's not alive
(18:43):
to be tried. Whatever list there is, and this we
learned from Alan Dershowitz, and he was the attorney. He
would know these are names that were mentioned in victims
depositions hasn't been confirmed. They've all been redacted by a
judge's order, so you can't release the names unless a
judge releases the redaction, and even then they're only accused
(19:08):
by victims in deposition. It hasn't been tried, and there
is no case to try. I know you guys don't
like that answer, but that's one of the most problematic
things now. It is also problematic politically, and that goes
and that speaks to all the people that made a
good living off this story and now they're in positions
(19:29):
to do something about it and they're doing nothing. There's
a lot of things this administration has delivered on, and wonderfully,
this is simply not one of them. Oh there's just
something about Mary.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
I like the idea of a swing off for the
game last night, and I would think maybe the NFL
could take a lesson and do something a little more
fun instead of all those complicated overtime rules. What do
you think about each team's wide receiver has to run
a foot race in a greyhound dog.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Sounds like more fun to me. Have a great day.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
That reminds me Denver Fox, who I worked with in Tulsa, Oklahoma,
used to rescue greyhounds, and so Magic was one of
the ex racing dogs. Greyhound and I walk into Denver's
house through the garage and Denver goes about like a
minute into our conversation, Hey, did you.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Close the door? I said, well, I thought I did.
Doors wide open.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
In my BMW, I can't catch this dog. I'm talking
their back, hind, legs go past their head. This guy's
going forty six miles an hour in a neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I'm trying to catch them.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
We finally did, and I never made the mistake of
leaving the door open again. Thank you for that memory, Mary,
And by the way, thank you for instigating Red again,
who at four point fifty eight this morning violently ranting
against me over the swing off, which I thought was ingenius.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
It's an All Star game.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
You combined the home run derby with the game. It
finally happened. Game ends six to six. They do this
swing up. I thought it was great. I loved it
right away. Red's like, what next, We're gonna end regular
season extra nding games this way? I said, no, They've
got a way to do that with the man on
second Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Hate that too.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Oh, why don't we, by the way, solve over time
in the NFL with kick, punt and pass and then
Mary has to instigate and bring that up and I
like it.
Speaker 8 (21:28):
Roger Kst Michael, I have a couple of questions. I
want to get your opinion on last night's game. The
first is the tribute to Hank Aaron. It's amazing the
technology that they have now to make that visual, but
just kind of seeing how you felt about it. And
the other one is I guess you'd just call it
an awareness of cancer. I'm not sure you know anyhow,
the demonstration for in support of cancer.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
So that's my two questions.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Well, Baseball's been doing that for a long time with
cancer and everybody holding up the science. I think it's
very impactful messaging. They don't rush it, and they mix
fans with players because that's cancer. Cancer reaches all of us.
There's good odds it'll reach you. What it's done to
my mother. Oh, I hate cancer, and I love the
(22:14):
way they did that. Henry Aeron is one of the
most impactful moments in my childhood and I was watching
that night. I had no idea that death threats and
anything he was going through. I was just a kid
with a giant Henry Aaron poster in my room watching
him do the unthinkable. The Bigger than Life Babes record
(22:34):
the way in Atlanta had an All Star Game projected
right onto the field. That memory was breathtaking. Some great
moments at the All Star Game. It's a lot of
sports does wrong. Last night was not one of them.
Blaine Blaine's in Ohio.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
I believe.
Speaker 9 (22:55):
You know something else you haven't noticed, or maybe you've
noticed it. There's a Somali running in Minneapolis to take
over that city. And he's plainly said he's a Somali.
He's not really an American. He may have citizenship, but
he's wants direct ties with Somalia. So he's actually going
to turn the place into a colony more than it
is now.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Just a reminder that while the border is sealed, twenty
million got in. And that was a big part of
a political strategy in war and a cultural strategy in war.
Much cleanup to do this. They didn't assimilate coming. They
conflated it into politics. And if Americans don't awaken, they'll
(23:39):
reap what they sell.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
One last one and I can't remember Joe. I knew
that Joe more than Michael.
Speaker 10 (23:48):
I remember back in nineteen seventy eight seventy nine, I
not only upgraded from a rotary to a push button phone,
which was a Uni Den with the preset buttons. It
also had a auto redial if the phone was busy. Guys,
brought back some great memories this morning.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Thanks.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Well, let me add one. How about the party line?
Remember party lines? Can you imagine? That's kind of what
happened with AOL. Everybody just started because I said, one
of the most fascinating things when AOL first came on.
You never did this with your phone, But suddenly you
would just talk to anybody, just start talking to them,
because that was it. You just you were talking to strangers.
We didn't do that with phones. Party lines. That was
(24:29):
so entertaining because even if if there was nothing on television,
and don't forget it was at midnight, you got a tone,
you know, you just pick up the phone and just
started listening to other people's coming to I mean rounded
for that why, because I was listening to other prank
phone calls.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I was the master at that make a pretty good
living doing them.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Still but on the party line, and I was listening
to other I mean I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, I the worst thing.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
My brother used to call the Jerry Lewis telethon and
make a donation so his name would get on telephon
vision and then he didn't falter and give Oh no,
that was always like twelve years old.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
That's awesome.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
You have Robert, Robert del Giorno and Arlington Heights gave
a hundred dollars. Thank you, Robert, like Bobby, Yeah, give
your restaurant money up.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
But the party line, you just pick up the phone.
There's all these conversations. Just can you go to eavesdrop?
It was, it was amazing. I saved this one piece
for last. We did this earlier. I want to do
it again because you're going to hear this story throughout
the day. There's kind of like two big nuanced things
going on, and that is the Left wants you to
talk about Jeffrey Epstein constantly. They can't do enough stories
(25:37):
on Jeffrey Epstein. Now, if any of this could be released,
it would backfire on them. It disproportionately would embarrass Democrat.
They may not be in office anymore, but some of
them are still alive. Many of them are dead, but
they don't care. They know your the president's base is
(25:58):
unhappy with this, so they want to keep doing news stories.
They want this one negative to get your eyes off
the fifteen kept promises and good things that he's done.
All right, I get that strategy. It's not a bad one.
And the right wants you to focus on Mom Donnie
in New York City. So Fox can't do enough Mom
(26:21):
Donnie stories, everybody else can't do enough Epstein stories.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
And then somewhere in the middle is the truth. And
I'll give you an.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Example just from my colleagues, and that is House Republicans
are blocking efforts from Democrats to force a vote on
releasing files. So now they're trying to make you think
that the left is doing what who you support is
sweeping under a rug. Now, they would all crap their
(26:51):
pants if these names got released, and they can't get
released without a judge lifting the redaction. And even then,
none of it's been it's proven. These are just the
names in the depositions from the victims being accused, and
you can't move forward and trying the case unless somebody
does something civil because the accused is dead. Now, did
(27:16):
they over sell something they couldn't deliver? Didn't explain it
well to start with? Maybe that's what the speaker's saying
when pambody needs to explain more. A lot of people
who were making a good living and attracting large audiences
using this case are now in positions to create a
consequence and they can't deliver. I'll admit it's a bad
(27:37):
political football for the president and on the tarmac saying, ay,
he's dad. I don't know why you care. That's not
going to help. But this statement is inaccurate. House Republicans
did not block an effort because they're afraid to release
these files.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
I e.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Quote quote Donald Trump's probably on this list. Marjorie Taylor
Green explains what they did unanimously vote against.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Listen, I got to correct something real quick, please.
Speaker 11 (28:08):
So it's being reported that that House Republicans unanimously voted
to block the release of the Epstein files, and I
want to straighten out the record right now.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
That is not true. If I could vote, okay, if
I could.
Speaker 11 (28:24):
Vote to release the Epstein files, guys, you.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Would have my vote.
Speaker 11 (28:27):
I would vote yes. Here's what just happened. It was
a procedural vote, and we have these all the time.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
It's called a PQ.
Speaker 11 (28:34):
It's voting on the previous question, and if the if
the Democrats had won the previous question, which I know
sounds insane. It's one of these crazy rules in the
House that are hard to understand. That means they would
control the House floor, and that means they could bring
up anything they could. They could bring up impeachment articles
against President Trump, they could bring up the whole package
(28:57):
of insane Democrat agenda item and force vote some House
floor on these things.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
That's what we voted against.
Speaker 11 (29:04):
We never allowed Democrats to have control of the House
floor because we control the House floor.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Because the American people gave you control of the House floor.
Now that's strong messaging. Why is she the only one
doing it? I gotta fly, and I mean like an eagle.
Top five stories Today, President Trump says more letters are
going out to countries announcing tariffs are going to go
into effect.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
On last Trump.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
Told reporters that joined Pace Andrews that he'll probably have
a flat ten percent tariff for all of the countries.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Don't forget. We'll be releasing a letter soon talking about
many countries that are much smaller. You wouldn't name the countries.
Speaker 12 (29:40):
Also on Tuesday, Trump announced a new train deal with
Indonesia a Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
President Trump says the US is destined to be the
world's number one superpower with artificial intelligence.
Speaker 13 (29:50):
Spoke at the inaugural Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit on Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
This is a.
Speaker 9 (29:56):
Really triumphant day for the people of the common Wealth
and for the United States of America.
Speaker 13 (30:02):
The event brought together some of the top leaders and
investors in energy and AI. Trump announced ninety billion dollars
worth of private investments in AI and energy in Pennsylvania.
He said the state is retaking its place at the
forefront of energy.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I'm Brian Shuck.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
As David Zadati said, it's certainly sobering. The goal was
a trillion dollars of spending cuts. This is only nine billion,
and it still took a tiebreaker from the VP. The
President Trump's Doze related spending bill cuts has cleared the Senate.
Speaker 14 (30:34):
Vice President Vance on Tuesday night broke a tie to
allow the Senate to begin debate on the bill, which
is attempting to take back spending that's already been approved.
House approved the billions of dollars in cuts by a
narrow vote in June. The over nine billion dollars in
reductions targets mostly foreign aid, but also funding for public broadcasting.
Senators expect a marathon voting session on potential changes to
(30:55):
the bill in the next few days, as leaders hope
to pass it ahead of Friday's deadline.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
I'm tam well, the hot dog eating contest has gotten
so big. Maybe that should be the big day, but no,
Technically today is National hot Dog Day.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
Americans like hot dogs. We eat about twenty billion every year.
That's roughly seventy per person, nearly half of them eating
in summer. They're truly an all American creation, but they
are based on the German sausage, and according to the
National Hot Dog Council, the debate settled, hot dogs are
a sandwich. We cover them with condiments and yes, ketchup,
but the Hot Dog Council says, no ketchup if you're
(31:31):
over eighteen, but we won't tell. I'm pre tennis.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
I prefer, of course, like my pizza Chicargo style.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I like the chak all good dog.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
It's Your Morning Show with Michael del journo.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
This is your morning show.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
I'm Michael del journal, honored to serve you, aggravated completely
by my producers who have driven me crazy all morning.
Of course, I'm aware that Jimmy Johnson was the Miami
Hurricane say head coach and won a national championship.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
I don't have an affiliate in Miami.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
I have one in Tulsa and in Oklahoma City, so
I reference the Oklahoma State Cowboys and the Dallas Cowboys
were wont to Super Bowl. And that's still not good
enough for you all. Not one in four of us
are all in credit card debt. Well more than one
in four of us are in credit card debt. One
in four of us that are in credit card debt.
Don't think we're ever going to get out. I guess
(32:21):
Rory the headline would be buried alive in debt, just
like their country national course. Bonder roy O'Neil joining us.
Good morning, Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 12 (32:30):
This morning, Bank Create released its annual credit card debt
survey and found about half of Americans have a monthly
credit card bill, so they're not paying it off in
full every month. But as you said, a quarter, I
think they'll never pay it off and really troubling. In
this survey, twenty eight percent say they use credit cards
for their day to day expenses like childcare, utilities, and groceries.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
That is a big problem.
Speaker 12 (32:55):
And you know, a look about half the people that
do have that lasting credit card debt say, look, it
was an emergency the hot water heater, when I suddenly
needed breaks and tires.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
You the our medical bills pop up.
Speaker 12 (33:06):
About half say it's those emergency, last minute things that
caused them to go into the credit card debt.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
But boy, that's life at the same time, right, we
have had this conversation.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
You realize we're going on almost two years, aren't we?
Speaker 1 (33:20):
We all be here. It feels stop it. You know what.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
I'm convinced you love me. Could not it up like
that for me? I know, I know I wanted it.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Thank you, SIRV me.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
I have another But a lot of times have we
had this conversation? All right, So we don't have savings accounts,
we don't have reserve funds. We've used credit cards to
a pay for essentials. That's poor budgeting. But then you
can't handle the surprises that your reserve fund. Then we
also use it to cover inflation. And oh, by the way,
we've tapped our four one ks to cover all of
(33:54):
our debt, and now this is They might be right.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
This may be what they don't ever get out of. Yeah.
Speaker 12 (34:00):
That amount of debt, though, is coming down. The last
couple of reports from the Federal Reserve Bank out of
New York shows that credit card balances, though, are coming
down a bit as it is getting a lot more
attention by people saying, wait, what's the interest rate? Twenty
five percent? You know, suddenly this is a priority. I
was talking to one station this morning. The guy said
he got an offer in the mail for a new
credit card thirty five percent interest.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Yeah, if you spend your whole life living on minimum payments,
you'll eventually drop. Great reporting Again, Rory, appreciate you. All right,
that'll do it.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Enheld Jo No
Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show can be heard live five to eight
am Central, six to nine Eastern and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio,
or Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and we're grateful you're here.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Because we're in the stigel.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
This is your morning show with Michael Delchorn.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Seven minutes after the hour, Good morning, and thank you
so much for making us a part of your morning routine.
This is your morning show. I am Michael del Trono
honor to serve you all right, seven after the hour.
The heavy downpours did lead to flash floods in the
East Coast and did lead to two deaths. President Trump's
Doze related spending cuts bill as clear to hurdle in
the Senate. It took the Vice President jd Vance tie
(00:51):
breaking vote to do it, and House Speaker Mike Johnson
says US Attorney General Pam Bondi needs to explain her
statements regarding Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, the President from the tarmac
said he doesn't know why his bass is so obsessed
with Epstein.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
The guy's dead, what does it matter?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
And I was violently, viciously attacked this morning for being
in support of Major League Baseball. I openly confessed. I
stayed up and watched the entire All Star Game, including
the first ever swing off victory thanks to three home
runs by Kyle Schwarber. They combined the All Star Game
(01:30):
and the home run Derby in one to decide a
tie game. It was a great game. American League was
down six to nothing, came back to tie the game,
and then in a swing off, the National League wins
the All Star Game. And then I get viciously attacked
for not being a purist for supporting the swing off viciously.
And may I say two, I think I'm sounding pretty
good for two hours sleep. You did, and it was
(01:51):
worth every second of it. David Sinadi is joining us
from a remote location this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
David, did you stand watching the All Star Game? And
did you see how they ended in with a swing off?
You're a purist?
Speaker 5 (02:02):
No?
Speaker 6 (02:03):
In honor of doing this show. Well, this morning I
went to bed, and so now I didn't see it.
What I did see was an overturned strike call by
electronic measurement for the first time in baseball.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
And I thought to myself, here is our future.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Well, umpires, Yeah, we really don't need an umpire to
sit back there. However, the minor leagues have been doing that,
and you could see it only takes about five seconds
ten seconds to correct it. I think you're going to
I don't think you're going to see Major League Baseball
go to swing offs to end extra runing games in
the regular season, but I do think eventually they're going
(02:43):
to adopt the pitch challenge, which, by the way, I
think there were three challenges. All three the yump was wrong,
all three were corrected, and one was a big strike up.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
All right, maybe I'm overthinking.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
Of umpires on behalf of umpires everywhere if you've ever
done or catchers, which by the way, I did see
the Baseball a card of the sicily on catcher for
the Yankees, who looks just like you when he smiles
from years going by.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Well, that's actually Veto, but that's Veto from the Sopranos
that somebody superimposed and I don't know if that was
Yogi Berra or somebody later, but it did look, I
never watched Sopranos and thought, well, that guy looks like me.
But in putting his face, photoshopping his face on that catcher,
it did look like but it looked like me now.
(03:26):
And then I put it next to that a picture
of me actually catching, until you could see we looked
a little bit different.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
But it looks actually, you looked a little bit better.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
To be honest with you.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
But the thing is is this catchers, right, which because
why were we catchers? Because we were short and slow.
That's why we were catchers. You were a much better
hitter than me. But what all Italians were catchers. That's
what they gave to us. Tell here's Italian kid, give
him a mask.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Okay, that's the way it worked. Greatest position in baseball, hands.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
Down, without a doubt, more fun you couldn't.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I mean every bit that's right.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
But the thing is is we know from watching themire
on different levels that sure they missed three. Did you
did we stop to giving credit for all the ones.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
They got right? Well? And then they said another pretty good. Yeah.
And there's another thing. It used to be a part
of the game. You know. There are some umps that
call them high, some call them low.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Some have different zones, you know, Like I was watching
a game the other day and and the stats point
to this. Sump likes to call inside pitches low and
inside pitches. I'm left handed hitters, Well, that's part of
the strategy, and so the hitters.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Need to know that. The pitchers need to know that.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
So even on those close calls, you're also eliminating part
of the game. But I do think it's coming to
that for balls and strikes, I don't think anybody needs
to be sitting back there not anymore, at least.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
I Getting hit in the face, boy, that's the toughest part.
I'm not sure what of course, getting hit in the
face or getting your thumb tweaked because of the fact
that you had to go down and save one and
the only way you can do is desperately open that
glove and your thumbs get smashed.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Foul balls off the four arm. The mask never really
bothered me. It happens so quick, you know, it just
be over. It's the one in the dirt that if
you were old school and you got in block position,
which they don't even teach it anymore, you would catch
it somewhere else that hurt a lot more. All right,
I want to make sure David s Nanti's our senior contributor.
(05:19):
I want to make sure I'm not overanalyzing things. So
I'm looking at this New York's race. And first of all,
there's the new polling, ma'am. Donnie's at twenty six percent,
Cuomo is now at twenty three percent, Slee was now
at twenty two percent, and Adams, the sitting mayor, is
at thirteen percent.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Now we did have fun with this.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
You do have a comi, a killer, a communist, and
a guardian angel.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
That's a lot to analyze.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
If it plays out, the fifteen percent undecided are going
to decide this race. They seem to be breaking a
little bit more. Slee was way and Cuomo's way. None
are breaking mom Donnie's way, and none are breaking Adam's way.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So as this.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Plays out, I think and Cuomo or Sliwa end up
winning in and of itself, but it could still happen.
But not to overanalyze, but think of the Shenanigan. They
played with rank File to get the Socialists through. Otherwise
there had been a run off in Cuomo would have won.
Now it's going to backfire on him, and at the
end of the day there's going to be And that's
(06:20):
why you see Hakeem Jeffries tap dancing and dodging the endorsement,
not AOC. She's hosting a breakfast for him as we speak.
How much damage is mom Donnie going to do in
a run and lose because of this Shenanigan with rank
file and how much damage is he going to do
to AOC who's not smart enough to distance herself, because
that will be a relevant question in twenty twenty eight?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Am I over analyzing? Now you're head of the curve.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
What you're doing is you're interpreting rightly what people are
saying finally now saying out loud. You're simply applying it
to where's the future going in regards to the Democrat
image as far as elections go. Now, you're big thought,
clearly is that AOC is going to capture enough momentum
from the tribalized, factionalized Democrat.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Which happens early in the primary process right right.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
And if she does capture enough momentum from the tribalized
groups that they unify behind her, then the party has
a problem. Now it may also be However, that Mom
Donnie makes AOC look conservative. I mean, he may actually
be a stalking horse that gives her momentum for being
more rational.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I mean she may now step.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Up and but she's clearly not. But she's that's a
very astute thing. But she's clearly not playing it that smart.
If she's hosting a breakfast, she's embracing it. If they
begin to absorb Mam Donnie's outrageous over the top applied
in a specific place. Because it's one thing to be
on a campaign tchanallel and just bring up these socialists,
(07:52):
you know, pander to the poor.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I'm going to take from the rich. I'm going to
give to you.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Well, you're telling a city and it's businesses and business owners.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I'm going to to at tax you to death.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
I'm going to tenaallyze you take your money, give it
to others unmeans tested and you know, means tested.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
And then I'm gonna get.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Rid of all the cops, and we're gonna have social workers.
I'm gonna have government grocery stores. I mean, that's a
whole different tale. And her hosting the breakfast and her
endorsing it is going to absorb this. It's going to
make And by the way, this is what the far
left wants. They want him to get more crazy, so
I think they'll walk right into it.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
Well, and you know, Michael, what's said about this is
the old reality of baseball and politics.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
You can't beat something with nothing.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
If you trip this track this back, what you really
have is this is the outcome of the fall of
Rudy Giuliani. Rudy Giuliani was America's mayor. He was viewed
as a person of ethics and hard work. He was
running from president of the United States. Rudy lost his
space in reality. And I think New Yorkers who are
(08:56):
not stupid have not found anyone in the republic looking
community that can step up with a level of service
that gives them a viable option. Now, I don't know,
mister Sliwa. I don't mean to disparage him. He may
be a superhero and we're about to discover him. So
I want to be careful. But I know that people
that live in New York are not stupid. They're probably
(09:17):
in a ping pong match of reactionary candidates because both
these political parties in regards to the city of New
York are horrible.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
They're simply horrible.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
The leadership's not in the parties, and the parties are
forwarding the candidates, and so many good people have left
New York and so many people have fallen in New
York that they're really desperate for honest leadership.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I mean, for crime out loud. They're trying to turn
this into a Batman movie.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Oh, it's ridiculous. Closing not closing moment, because we're gonna
have one more segment. But in this segment, closing moment
with David Sanatti, our senior contributor, how this plays out.
If this were a national campaign for president of the
United States, we know how it plays out.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Man.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Donnie gets off to an early just as Bernie Sanders
did twice, just as AOC will in twenty twenty eight,
and then the DNC gets involved and rigs it, and
that can't happen here at the city level.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Ken it.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Well, it's gonna be tough, it's and they're certainly running
pretty late. I mean, the election is this year, so
it's it's hard to know, but it will become You're
the first person who's talking about the undecided boat in
New York City. There are actually real people who think
things through, who work for a living and keep that
city at seven point nine million people moving, and.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Gets you everywhere, my fellow catcher, Yeah, you've got a
better arm than me too.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
I just I startled wrong.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Guys. It was just not fast enough. I could.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
I could throw it on a second from my knees,
especially in Little League. All right, Yah, so now I'm bragging.
I just broke a commandment. Forgive me, I said you
off when we come back. The big story that we
need to talk about is the defunding of NPR. Can
talk about other defundings that have taken place, higher education
and penalties for being anti Semitic, the dismantling and the
(11:06):
Supreme Court victory to dismantle the Department of Education. These
are all huge stories. We could add to that, how
the trans movement just died instantly. The president in his
first term and finalizing in his second term, has destroyed
biased death of journalism. And I think these are more
(11:27):
than just Trump victories. These are more than just activist
judge defeats. This is a president that is uprooting about
You'll go all the way back to Woodrow Wilson, but
literally fifty to seventy five years of progressive and cultural
and political progress and the president's uprooting it. It makes them
one of the most significant game changing presidents, not just
(11:49):
in our lifetime, but of the past one hundred years,
or at least.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I'll ask you that when we come back.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
If you ever heard of karraluma, it's an edible cactus
from India, and it's known for naturally suppressing appetite. It's
just one of the key ingredients and the breakthrough weight
loss supplement that I take LEAN. So if you're aiming

to replicating the benefits of popular injections without the needles.

You know it's Wednesday, July the sixteenth, because we're visiting
with David Zanati, our senior contributor who visits with us
every Wednesday. David, I want to get to our top story,
which is we got the NPR story, the President defunding NPR.
There's also been the fines and the cutting off and
the threatening of cutting off a lot of the funding
for higher education. I'm trying to think the Supreme Court
(13:51):
victory that allowed the defunding of the Department of Education,
which has only been existing since nineteen seventy nine. We
can talk about its track record not being very good
on the scoreboard, but a lot of these things they
don't add up to an activist judge failing, whether it's
an appellate judge or the Supreme Court, or even another
victory for Donald Trump. The significance of what Trump is
(14:12):
new doing now, in real time and for all time
is the uprooting of about seventy years of leftist progress
politically and culturally. I hope people aren't missing that, and
I'm in awe of it. Like the wokeness stuff dying.
I didn't think what took seventy years to slowly boil
(14:32):
the frog. He's pulling it up by the root instantly.
It's amazing.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
Well, I think that the vote that just happened is
a bit sobering because when you consider the fact that
Elon Musk was on track to establish a premise to
present a clinical report on how to get to.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
A trillion dollars in spending custo. Now he wasn't making them.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
He was able to try to put this together to
show that if we could save a trillion and grow
a trillion we could reach a balanced budget. Even if
it took us ten years, we could get there. And
the best we could do was a tied Senate even
though the Republicans had fifty four votes. The best we
could do was a fifty to fifty tie to cut.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Nine billion dollars.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
The last time I checked, nine billion is a smaller
than a trillion. And that shows you the depth of
the corruption of the infrastructure of the United States Congress,
particularly the US Senate. And I feel for Mike Johnson
because he's dealing with a giant pile of you know
what on the next block called the US Senate, and
(15:45):
it is a mess. And that shows you how deeply
corrupt the Republican Party is and the Democrat Party, both
of them together in the US Senate, MI go forty
five years. I'm telling you this is Colin Balls and
strikes man. The bad guys are sitting in the Senate.
And it doesn't matter what party or or what letters
(16:05):
with them, whether there are these or i's. They are
corrupt and they like government super big, and they like
taxing people.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I don't think they like people. I just think they
like money.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Well, you know, we talked earlier about that's how important
flipping those seats in Montana, West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania
turned out to be. How important presidential elections can be
with tie breaking vice president votes. But yes, by and large,
this is just like unused money and what to do
with it and cuts the doge discovers and you can't
even get more than nine billion there. That's pretty sobering
(16:40):
in general.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Big message, Well, there is a message to the public
broadcasting and NPR. You know, if you do go too far,
the system will bite you back, and they certainly have
they did to themselves.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Yeah, all right, David's gonna be back tomorrow too. Get
a double shot of DZ.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Hey.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
I'm Olympic gold medalist Scott Hamilton and my morning show
is your Morning show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can
be heard live each weekday morning five to eight Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Nashville, Tennessee
two below, Mississippi and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be
a part of your morning routine and take the drive
to work with you, but better late than never. We're
grateful you're here now, enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Can't have your morning show without your voice. We've talked
about so much. The talkbacks have piled up, so let's
break them down, shall we. We're gonna start with Randy
and I have no idea from where Greenwood, Indiana.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Indiana saying sounds a whole lot like being Ghazi Clinton saying, well,
what difference doesn't matter anymore?
Speaker 6 (17:53):
You know what, it still matters that needs to be cleaned.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Up, and so does this Epstein things.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Bill had an email at Michael di atiheartmedia dot com
bringing up the exact same thing, the coincidence with Hillary
and Benghazi, and he said, day one, we should release
the name of high profile democrat with suspected offenses. Well,
(18:22):
first of all, I think you would say day one,
if you want to go that route, release all the
names period. The problem is it's a case, a case
that hasn't been settled by a jury, and a case
that has been they can't move forward because the accused
killed himself or so they allege, but he's not alive
(18:43):
to be tried. Whatever list there is, and this we
learned from Alan Dershowitz, and he was the attorney. He
would know these are names that were mentioned in victims
depositions hasn't been confirmed. They've all been redacted by a
judge's order, so you can't release the names unless a
judge releases the redaction, and even then they're only accused
(19:08):
by victims in deposition. It hasn't been tried, and there
is no case to try. I know you guys don't
like that answer, but that's one of the most problematic
things now. It is also problematic politically, and that goes
and that speaks to all the people that made a
good living off this story and now they're in positions
(19:29):
to do something about it and they're doing nothing. There's
a lot of things this administration has delivered on, and wonderfully,
this is simply not one of them. Oh there's just
something about Mary.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
I like the idea of a swing off for the
game last night, and I would think maybe the NFL
could take a lesson and do something a little more
fun instead of all those complicated overtime rules. What do
you think about each team's wide receiver has to run
a foot race in a greyhound dog.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Sounds like more fun to me. Have a great day.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
That reminds me Denver Fox, who I worked with in Tulsa, Oklahoma,
used to rescue greyhounds, and so Magic was one of
the ex racing dogs. Greyhound and I walk into Denver's
house through the garage and Denver goes about like a
minute into our conversation, Hey, did you.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Close the door? I said, well, I thought I did.
Doors wide open.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
In my BMW, I can't catch this dog. I'm talking
their back, hind, legs go past their head. This guy's
going forty six miles an hour in a neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I'm trying to catch them.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
We finally did, and I never made the mistake of
leaving the door open again. Thank you for that memory, Mary,
And by the way, thank you for instigating Red again,
who at four point fifty eight this morning violently ranting
against me over the swing off, which I thought was ingenius.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
It's an All Star game.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
You combined the home run derby with the game. It
finally happened. Game ends six to six. They do this
swing up. I thought it was great. I loved it
right away. Red's like, what next, We're gonna end regular
season extra nding games this way? I said, no, They've
got a way to do that with the man on
second Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Hate that too.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Oh, why don't we, by the way, solve over time
in the NFL with kick, punt and pass and then
Mary has to instigate and bring that up and I
like it.
Speaker 8 (21:28):
Roger Kst Michael, I have a couple of questions. I
want to get your opinion on last night's game. The
first is the tribute to Hank Aaron. It's amazing the
technology that they have now to make that visual, but
just kind of seeing how you felt about it. And
the other one is I guess you'd just call it
an awareness of cancer. I'm not sure you know anyhow,
the demonstration for in support of cancer.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
So that's my two questions.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Well, Baseball's been doing that for a long time with
cancer and everybody holding up the science. I think it's
very impactful messaging. They don't rush it, and they mix
fans with players because that's cancer. Cancer reaches all of us.
There's good odds it'll reach you. What it's done to
my mother. Oh, I hate cancer, and I love the
(22:14):
way they did that. Henry Aeron is one of the
most impactful moments in my childhood and I was watching
that night. I had no idea that death threats and
anything he was going through. I was just a kid
with a giant Henry Aaron poster in my room watching
him do the unthinkable. The Bigger than Life Babes record
(22:34):
the way in Atlanta had an All Star Game projected
right onto the field. That memory was breathtaking. Some great
moments at the All Star Game. It's a lot of
sports does wrong. Last night was not one of them.
Blaine Blaine's in Ohio.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
I believe.
Speaker 9 (22:55):
You know something else you haven't noticed, or maybe you've
noticed it. There's a Somali running in Minneapolis to take
over that city. And he's plainly said he's a Somali.
He's not really an American. He may have citizenship, but
he's wants direct ties with Somalia. So he's actually going
to turn the place into a colony more than it
is now.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Just a reminder that while the border is sealed, twenty
million got in. And that was a big part of
a political strategy in war and a cultural strategy in war.
Much cleanup to do this. They didn't assimilate coming. They
conflated it into politics. And if Americans don't awaken, they'll
(23:39):
reap what they sell.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
One last one and I can't remember Joe. I knew
that Joe more than Michael.
Speaker 10 (23:48):
I remember back in nineteen seventy eight seventy nine, I
not only upgraded from a rotary to a push button phone,
which was a Uni Den with the preset buttons. It
also had a auto redial if the phone was busy. Guys,
brought back some great memories this morning.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Thanks.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Well, let me add one. How about the party line?
Remember party lines? Can you imagine? That's kind of what
happened with AOL. Everybody just started because I said, one
of the most fascinating things when AOL first came on.
You never did this with your phone, But suddenly you
would just talk to anybody, just start talking to them,
because that was it. You just you were talking to strangers.
We didn't do that with phones. Party lines. That was
(24:29):
so entertaining because even if if there was nothing on television,
and don't forget it was at midnight, you got a tone,
you know, you just pick up the phone and just
started listening to other people's coming to I mean rounded
for that why, because I was listening to other prank
phone calls.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I was the master at that make a pretty good
living doing them.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Still but on the party line, and I was listening
to other I mean I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, I the worst thing.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
My brother used to call the Jerry Lewis telethon and
make a donation so his name would get on telephon
vision and then he didn't falter and give Oh no,
that was always like twelve years old.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
That's awesome.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
You have Robert, Robert del Giorno and Arlington Heights gave
a hundred dollars. Thank you, Robert, like Bobby, Yeah, give
your restaurant money up.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
But the party line, you just pick up the phone.
There's all these conversations. Just can you go to eavesdrop?
It was, it was amazing. I saved this one piece
for last. We did this earlier. I want to do
it again because you're going to hear this story throughout
the day. There's kind of like two big nuanced things
going on, and that is the Left wants you to
talk about Jeffrey Epstein constantly. They can't do enough stories
(25:37):
on Jeffrey Epstein. Now, if any of this could be released,
it would backfire on them. It disproportionately would embarrass Democrat.
They may not be in office anymore, but some of
them are still alive. Many of them are dead, but
they don't care. They know your the president's base is
(25:58):
unhappy with this, so they want to keep doing news stories.
They want this one negative to get your eyes off
the fifteen kept promises and good things that he's done.
All right, I get that strategy. It's not a bad one.
And the right wants you to focus on Mom Donnie
in New York City. So Fox can't do enough Mom
(26:21):
Donnie stories, everybody else can't do enough Epstein stories.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
And then somewhere in the middle is the truth. And
I'll give you an.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Example just from my colleagues, and that is House Republicans
are blocking efforts from Democrats to force a vote on
releasing files. So now they're trying to make you think
that the left is doing what who you support is
sweeping under a rug. Now, they would all crap their
(26:51):
pants if these names got released, and they can't get
released without a judge lifting the redaction. And even then,
none of it's been it's proven. These are just the
names in the depositions from the victims being accused, and
you can't move forward and trying the case unless somebody
does something civil because the accused is dead. Now, did
(27:16):
they over sell something they couldn't deliver? Didn't explain it
well to start with? Maybe that's what the speaker's saying
when pambody needs to explain more. A lot of people
who were making a good living and attracting large audiences
using this case are now in positions to create a
consequence and they can't deliver. I'll admit it's a bad
(27:37):
political football for the president and on the tarmac saying, ay,
he's dad. I don't know why you care. That's not
going to help. But this statement is inaccurate. House Republicans
did not block an effort because they're afraid to release
these files.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
I e.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Quote quote Donald Trump's probably on this list. Marjorie Taylor
Green explains what they did unanimously vote against.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Listen, I got to correct something real quick, please.
Speaker 11 (28:08):
So it's being reported that that House Republicans unanimously voted
to block the release of the Epstein files, and I
want to straighten out the record right now.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
That is not true. If I could vote, okay, if
I could.
Speaker 11 (28:24):
Vote to release the Epstein files, guys, you.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Would have my vote.
Speaker 11 (28:27):
I would vote yes. Here's what just happened. It was
a procedural vote, and we have these all the time.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
It's called a PQ.
Speaker 11 (28:34):
It's voting on the previous question, and if the if
the Democrats had won the previous question, which I know
sounds insane. It's one of these crazy rules in the
House that are hard to understand. That means they would
control the House floor, and that means they could bring
up anything they could. They could bring up impeachment articles
against President Trump, they could bring up the whole package
(28:57):
of insane Democrat agenda item and force vote some House
floor on these things.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
That's what we voted against.
Speaker 11 (29:04):
We never allowed Democrats to have control of the House
floor because we control the House floor.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Because the American people gave you control of the House floor.
Now that's strong messaging. Why is she the only one
doing it? I gotta fly, and I mean like an eagle.
Top five stories Today, President Trump says more letters are
going out to countries announcing tariffs are going to go
into effect.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
On last Trump.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
Told reporters that joined Pace Andrews that he'll probably have
a flat ten percent tariff for all of the countries.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Don't forget. We'll be releasing a letter soon talking about
many countries that are much smaller. You wouldn't name the countries.
Speaker 12 (29:40):
Also on Tuesday, Trump announced a new train deal with
Indonesia a Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
President Trump says the US is destined to be the
world's number one superpower with artificial intelligence.
Speaker 13 (29:50):
Spoke at the inaugural Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit on Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
This is a.
Speaker 9 (29:56):
Really triumphant day for the people of the common Wealth
and for the United States of America.
Speaker 13 (30:02):
The event brought together some of the top leaders and
investors in energy and AI. Trump announced ninety billion dollars
worth of private investments in AI and energy in Pennsylvania.
He said the state is retaking its place at the
forefront of energy.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I'm Brian Shuck.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
As David Zadati said, it's certainly sobering. The goal was
a trillion dollars of spending cuts. This is only nine billion,
and it still took a tiebreaker from the VP. The
President Trump's Doze related spending bill cuts has cleared the Senate.
Speaker 14 (30:34):
Vice President Vance on Tuesday night broke a tie to
allow the Senate to begin debate on the bill, which
is attempting to take back spending that's already been approved.
House approved the billions of dollars in cuts by a
narrow vote in June. The over nine billion dollars in
reductions targets mostly foreign aid, but also funding for public broadcasting.
Senators expect a marathon voting session on potential changes to
(30:55):
the bill in the next few days, as leaders hope
to pass it ahead of Friday's deadline.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
I'm tam well, the hot dog eating contest has gotten
so big. Maybe that should be the big day, but no,
Technically today is National hot Dog Day.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
Americans like hot dogs. We eat about twenty billion every year.
That's roughly seventy per person, nearly half of them eating
in summer. They're truly an all American creation, but they
are based on the German sausage, and according to the
National Hot Dog Council, the debate settled, hot dogs are
a sandwich. We cover them with condiments and yes, ketchup,
but the Hot Dog Council says, no ketchup if you're
(31:31):
over eighteen, but we won't tell. I'm pre tennis.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
I prefer, of course, like my pizza Chicargo style.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I like the chak all good dog.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
It's Your Morning Show with Michael del journo.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
This is your morning show.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
I'm Michael del journal, honored to serve you, aggravated completely
by my producers who have driven me crazy all morning.
Of course, I'm aware that Jimmy Johnson was the Miami
Hurricane say head coach and won a national championship.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
I don't have an affiliate in Miami.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
I have one in Tulsa and in Oklahoma City, so
I reference the Oklahoma State Cowboys and the Dallas Cowboys
were wont to Super Bowl. And that's still not good
enough for you all. Not one in four of us
are all in credit card debt. Well more than one
in four of us are in credit card debt. One
in four of us that are in credit card debt.
Don't think we're ever going to get out. I guess
(32:21):
Rory the headline would be buried alive in debt, just
like their country national course. Bonder roy O'Neil joining us.
Good morning, Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 12 (32:30):
This morning, Bank Create released its annual credit card debt
survey and found about half of Americans have a monthly
credit card bill, so they're not paying it off in
full every month. But as you said, a quarter, I
think they'll never pay it off and really troubling. In
this survey, twenty eight percent say they use credit cards
for their day to day expenses like childcare, utilities, and groceries.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
That is a big problem.
Speaker 12 (32:55):
And you know, a look about half the people that
do have that lasting credit card debt say, look, it
was an emergency the hot water heater, when I suddenly
needed breaks and tires.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
You the our medical bills pop up.
Speaker 12 (33:06):
About half say it's those emergency, last minute things that
caused them to go into the credit card debt.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
But boy, that's life at the same time, right, we
have had this conversation.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
You realize we're going on almost two years, aren't we?
Speaker 1 (33:20):
We all be here. It feels stop it. You know what.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
I'm convinced you love me. Could not it up like
that for me? I know, I know I wanted it.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Thank you, SIRV me.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
I have another But a lot of times have we
had this conversation? All right, So we don't have savings accounts,
we don't have reserve funds. We've used credit cards to
a pay for essentials. That's poor budgeting. But then you
can't handle the surprises that your reserve fund. Then we
also use it to cover inflation. And oh, by the way,
we've tapped our four one ks to cover all of
(33:54):
our debt, and now this is They might be right.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
This may be what they don't ever get out of. Yeah.
Speaker 12 (34:00):
That amount of debt, though, is coming down. The last
couple of reports from the Federal Reserve Bank out of
New York shows that credit card balances, though, are coming
down a bit as it is getting a lot more
attention by people saying, wait, what's the interest rate? Twenty
five percent? You know, suddenly this is a priority. I
was talking to one station this morning. The guy said
he got an offer in the mail for a new
credit card thirty five percent interest.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Yeah, if you spend your whole life living on minimum payments,
you'll eventually drop. Great reporting Again, Rory, appreciate you. All right,
that'll do it.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
