Speaker 1 (00:29):
Well, the President is not quite optimistic, but he's hopeful
at eleven upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin next week. Meanwhile,
the Trump sweeping tariffs are now in effect as of midnight,
and five soldiers at the Fort Stewart in Georgia are

That's at your Morning Show Online dot com. Well, there
was a big buzz over the jobs report, even led
to a firing last week. Why was it down? Was
it even accurate? Was it rigged? Our Economist and Money
(01:39):
with David Bonsen, I'm sure about to be frustrated. Is
here to explain to us the jobs report? You know,
these reports are kind of like polls. They're having a
hard time getting the information. So you have early numbers,
then updated numbers, and then final numbers, and they're always
never the same. So I don't understand why this time
(02:01):
it's rigged and needs to be fired. I need you
to explain to me and the audience what's up with
the jobs report?
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Oh, Michael, I think you do understand, well.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
You know or I'm these things from but David seriously,
all joking aside, this is why you're on every week.
I stumbled upon you, and thank God every day I
have not only for your friendship, but for what you
bring to my audience. Because I knew we were on
and this was back when it happened years ago. I
(02:34):
knew we were heading into an economic window. And there
is not an area less understood and more ridiculously narrativized
and ignorantly sold to the American people than the economy.
So I grabbed you like Moses, to walk us through
this valley and take us to the promised Land. So really,
this is another great reason why you're here every Thursday,
(02:55):
and why a lot of my audience favors you and
loves you so walk them through jobs It's really we better.
We need to, Like all the other stories today, we
need to solve this jobs report issue, not misunderstand it
further through Trump theatrics.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Well, let's first decide what it is we need to solve.
So what happens is the monthly report is done by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is funded to run,
operated managed by the federal government, and they spend the
month surveying one hundred and twenty two thousand businesses, and
(03:32):
it's a survey where they're collecting data and then they
extrapolate it across the population in a model, and then
they apply seasonal adjustment. Then after that is done monthly,
that throughout the rest of the quarter the year, you
get real life data from unemployment insurance claims. So they
(03:53):
do the front end data monthly from survey and then
they get to true up the data with actual claims
that goes across the whole population. So I suppose people
could say, we don't want them to true it up
if the numbers were wrong, just leave it wrong. Okay,
that's fine. Or they could say the opposite, don't give
(04:15):
us the monthly estimates from a survey, just wait until
it's all known and the data is worthless because we're
getting it months and months later. Well, in twenty nineteen,
and again I'll ask the audience who was president in
the first term of Donald Trump. They had an adjustment
(04:35):
of five hundred and eighteen thousand jobs seasonally adjusted. I
believe it was five hundred and fifty thousand, where it
had been over reported how many jobs had been created,
and it got revised down then twenty twenty four, our mind,
the audience, the president was Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
They had the.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Exact same thing happenhundred eighty four thousand, so basically, within
a few units, the exact same level of adjustment.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
It's unfortunate that.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
The numbers can't always be better. But do I think
that it's partisan when almost to the number the same
thing happened in twenty nineteen in twenty twenty four, I
do not. I do not think it's partisan. Now I've
talked on the show before about how economists deal with
all sorts of things of collecting data that are multi factorial.
(05:34):
There's different things that play into it. I want a picture,
as a money manager and economist of how the jobs
world is going in the United States. I look at
the BLS monthly number, the weekly unemployment claims, the monthly
ADP number, which is private payrolls. The government doesn't touch
(05:56):
that data whatsoever, the true up number that comes from BLS.
There are all sorts of different data points we could
look to, and sometimes there's contradictions, sometimes there's validations, but
what there isn't is politicization. And so obviously we know
(06:18):
that the reason the President called for the termination of
the BOLS had last week was he didn't like the results.
But what I pointed out in giving a cafe throughout
my week to our readers who are like me, mostly
center right conservatives, was why does the ADP number private
(06:38):
payrolls nothing to do with the government, no bureaucrat, no
Biden voters, no deep state. Okay, why does that show
that are three month average of new jobs created in
the private sector is thirty seven thousand, and the six
month average was sixty seven thousand, and the twelve month
average was one hundred and twenty three. In the last
(07:01):
three years is two hundred and fifty thousand. So we
have seen the private numbers go down by half, then
by half again, then by half again. That's a pretty
big validation, and I wouldn't take it as a single
data point, but I would take it in tandem with
all the other data points.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Economist and Money was David Bonson from the Bonds and
Financial Group joining us as he does every Thursday morning,
and we're talking about the BLS firing and the BLS
numbers in general. I guess if we were like one
of these planes that go into hurricanes, and you know, start,
you know, measuring wind speeds in this dysfunction. The biggest
is these surveys are sent out, what percentage of returned,
and it's harder and harder to get them returned, just
(07:42):
like it's harder and harder to get people to answer
their phone and take a poll. So this current system
is just going to get or continue to be inaccurate
until people participate more and return these surveys, or we
should find a different measuring stick. Right.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Well, I do believe that there are always ways to
optimize the efficiency of it the technology so to the
extent that there's any push for operational improvement. But I
guess what I would say. And again you know this, Michael,
because you and I have developed this friendship and trust.
But I really want listeners to know this. I'm not
(08:20):
saying this to criticize President Trump, but this has to
be said. If the system has some areas in it
that need improvement, and the numbers coming back were all
good for Trump, would he be asking for improvements in
the system.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
He would not.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
I mean he just wouldn't be objectively, that's a fact.
So where the system needs to be improved, let's do it.
I think You're right that there needs to be better participation,
and I also wonder if there should be more coordination
with the private data available, because you know, we most
of us that work for have are paychecks involved. There
(08:59):
are company It's not always ADP, which happens to be
the largest, but that number is going to be very
hard to lie. And I also think the unemployment claims
are very hard to lie. So there are ways to
improve the process, but you can't improve it when you
undermine public trust, and you undermine public trust and you
fire somebody for no reason.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah, and again, there are things the president has instinctively
been very good at. Foreign policy is one of them.
But I know the people he has surrounded himself with.
One of them is always on the show weekly, all right,
So I think that's why he gets a lot of
things right. You know, a lot of the people surrounding
him under the topic of the economy, How did they
let him move forward with this? I'm just I don't
(09:40):
even know who was briefing him.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
There wasn't a single person involved with this one. The
numbers came out, I wasn't even done reading it, and
I mean real quickly, but for I saw his tweet,
So I know as a fact he didn't coordinate that
or discuss it, collaborate with anybody, and then he and
then the people are stuck having to go up on
(10:03):
television over the weekend defending the decisions.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
So and you would you would think there'd be more
media like we're doing right now that would explain this
to people, because I don't expect Look, you bring up
chemistry periodical table. I am a moron. I am. I
think I'm beyond ignorant. I'm a dummy, all right, but
it really isn't. I'm just ignorant. I don't follow that.
But you know, so I don't expect all the American
people to be up on BLS and and how they
(10:28):
get these numbers, and how they adjust these numbers and
how they've often been adjusted, and it often at certain percentages.
But when people don't understand it, and then people in
position and office use it for partisan weaponry, well that
almost needs to be is cured as much as survey participation.
So I'm just you know, it was just one of
(10:50):
those we had to do. And I know there are
some Look, if you're one of those people that all
you're hearing is us criticizing the president right now, Well,
then you're not the kind of reasoned people that this
show is built for. I'll speak for me. I still
love the President. I'm still happy with my vote. I
still think he's a historic figure. I think he's very
wrong on this issue, and it's wrong to perpetuate this
(11:13):
level of ignorance. All right, all the midnight, now here
come all the trades? Does this help with some of
the uncertainty? I look down now, India's got themselves in
hot water over buying oil from Russia. But if I
put that aside, really Canada and I guess China going
beyond a framework to an actual deal. There is no
deal with Mexico, but they've been given a ninety day
(11:34):
extension and there's a good relationship there. Really Canada is
the one that really needs to make a deal and
quickly or they're going to pay dearly. Other than that,
I'm and Bill, Bill and Brazil. All right, so walk
us through what you think. Now it's midnight. And with
the exception of India, who's in hot water, Canada who's
playing tough, and Mexico has ninety days, and China that
(11:56):
has a framework that needs to be ironed out and
become a reality, and they're not a trustworth person to
negotiate with. In my book, where are we at with uncertainty?
Certainty with tariffs and revenue and building blocks for industry?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Well, look, if you are a shareholder in Nvidia and
Apple and any other multi trillion dollar company, you had
a good night because he gave an exception to the
biggest and most powerful companies.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
If you are a small.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Business owner that imports component parts for your technology electronics
company and you do one hundred million dollars in sales
or or one million dollars in sales instead of one
hundred billion dollars in sales, then you had a really,
really bad night. So the semiconductor decisions made in the
(12:44):
last forty eight hours are really good for big business
in America, they're really bad for small business. The biggest
thing I kind of want to push back on that
you just said, which I think is a figure of speech,
but it's increasingly bothering me. When you say Canada is
going to pay dearly, words are.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Going to pay dearly? I give it you.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Well, well, importers more specifically, right, the businesses that buy
the things and we don't have to speculate on this one,
because the biggest thing we import from Canada, besides the
fact that they sell us oil and gas below market prices,
is aluminum, and they are able to make it far
cheaper than we are for a lot of reasons. And
(13:26):
there's just simply no reason for us to have a
thirty five or thirty nine percent DEREK with an ally
nation like Canada. But they will, they will suffer to
the extent that it hurts their economy, whether it's in
demand erosion or profit margin erosion or whatever else. But
I just think that that figure of speech is becoming
(13:48):
very commonplace because the President will say it a lot
of you know, we're going to get paid, meaning the
government's going to get paid. That's just not the way
we generally talk about taxes were paying them. It's a
cost to the economy, it's not an input.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
To the economy.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
But I also confident he will end up getting a
deal done with Canada. But you know, he's a president's
a big negotiator, and he happens to be dealing with
Kim Carney, excuse me, Mark Karney, who is himself kind
of a negotiator.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
So they're playing that game.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
I'm more concerned on the Brazil thing because I just
am a little shocked that nobody is willing to call
out what you know, there's no other country where the
President is saying the reason we're driving a hard bargain
is I don't like what they're doing to their people.
He like.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
In other words, there's a far.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Left government in Brazil and they had a far right
guy who lost the election that the President liked, and
so Trump is using that as his reason to go
after the teriffs. Where all of his other rationales, and
whether I agree with it or not, it's in something America. First,
I go, I want a better deal for America, or
I want or I want want some kind of you know,
(15:03):
reciprocity or something like that. So there's just various issues
with Brazil that are a little bit tricky politically, but
hopefully that'll get fixed too. And the India thing, I
definitely agree with you. He's doing the right thing to
try to drive a bargain on them not working with Russia.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
The Dividendcafe at Dividendcafe dot com this week tomorrow it'll
be on what.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
You know that's funny. I almost always know by Thursday morning,
and I do topic pick.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yet, Well, you've already done the bls. Yeah, maybe trade
as a component of diplomacy. I don't know. I can't
give you ideas. You're the money wiz, not me. David Bonsen,
he'll figure it out and the Dividendcafe dot com will
have your briefing tomorrow and we will talk to David
(15:53):
next week.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chuno.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Joe's got something on his mind.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Good morning, Michael. Yep, conversation was the same last night.
How in the heck we're gonna watch our NFL this year?
It's a shame that all these streaming services and table
channels have hijacked the NFL. I just hope and pray
the politics don't hijack the NFL anyway, have a great day,
go Ravens.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
You mean the way gaming has hijacked the NFL. Well again,
you know, the NFL is more selling itself out to
cover outrageous salaries more than it's being hijacked. But it
is hard to know where to go. Hey, this is
Top Cop Kathy Hinters and my morning show is your
Morning Show with Michael Dale jorno.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can
be heard live each weekday morning five to eighth 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 ever. We're
grateful you're here now, enjoy the podcast. This is your
morning show. I am Michael del Jornal. Thanks for bringing
(17:08):
us along. A lot of you are venting about the NFL.
You know, there was a time where you could go
to an NFL game and it was reasonable. There was
a time you knew what to turn on and where
to catch a game. If it was Sunday, it was CBS,
or it was NBC. If it was Sunday Night, it
(17:29):
was NBC. If it was Monday, it was ABC and
the later ESPN.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Now they're everywhere, and a lot of some of that's technology,
but a lot of that is NFL having to pay
these high salaries. Guys aren't playing for the game. You
can't go to a game. You take a family to
Ford to an NFL game. Try to have a couple
of drinks and eat. I'll miss at mortgage. Yeah, and
don't forget all the money they're scamming. I mean there's
people paying for the NFL in terms of gaming losses
(17:56):
as well. Oh, I can understand why the topic is frustrating.
And you know that's why I give me the NFL
red zone for six hours on Sunday and I'll call
it a day. We did have a shooting at Fort Stewart, Georgia.
Let's learn more about the shooter. The five that are
doing well and recovering. Thank god for your morning show
(18:16):
correspondent Rory o'neilis with us. Good morning, Rory, Hey, good
morning Michael. Yeah. And we're paying for their stadium too,
by the way, and their stadiums. Yeahbby, if you want
to start griping, where would you begin.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Yeah, it's a long long list. We might talk about
it more tomorrow. If Chris says it's okay.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Well, there is someone that does dictate what me and
Rory find interesting exactly. But look, there is a much
more serious topic.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
And as you said, thankfully, the five soldiers who were
wounded yesterday at that shooting in Fort Stewart are all
expected to recover. It looks like this may have been
a personal beef that the suspect in this case, witnesses say,
followed one of the victims to a maintenance area in
this room open fire, shooting him in the chest. It
seems that the other four soldiers may have been injured
(19:05):
trying to respond. But again, all this is still coming together.
The New York Times was able to interview the father
of the shooting suspect here. He said that his son
was trying to request a transfer to leave that base.
He had made claims again being investigated. Don't know he
had been making claims he had been victimized or the
victim of racism there at the base. But all these
(19:27):
different avenues of investigation are still open. The gunman was
taken into custody and he was not injured, so he
is still alive to tell us his version of events.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I mean, it sounds like the plot of a few
good men. I think the only thing we're rolling out
now is a code read okay. And then the suspect
was using a gun of his personal right ownership.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
He was a Florida native. Looks like he bought the
gun earlier this year. Now whether or not he bought
the gun for this specific purpose, did he buy it
just for general self defense?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
That stuff we don't know. Again part of the investigation.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
But he wasn't supposed to be bringing that gun on
the base as he did, so of course the base
operators want to know, you know, how he got around
that and what security measures need to be changed, if any.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
And we do know that rather immediately five tried it
did successfully eventually tackle him. That's interesting that you bring
up that. That's probably the other gunshot victims in doing so,
but they may be the heroes that have saved a
life in this unfortunate situation. They ran to the gunfire,
(20:32):
which is the difference. Roy O'Neil, great reporting. We'll find
out about the NFL tomorrow. All right, if you're just
waking up, it's time for your will mist They all
look like a bunch of girly men. He doesn't make
(20:54):
even change, so I mentioned earlier, I'm shaving myself, comes
up to me, and you know, he's very bright and
he does a lot of research on his own. I
think if there was a radio industry in the future,
I think the torch would have gone to another generation
but you know, he's got great instincts, and I love
(21:16):
that he doesn't come at things from matrix narrative perspectives.
And when he can't connect all the dots, he comes
to me and he challenges me with great questions. And
so I thought, using him as an example, why do
we redistrict? Well, for a very good reason. We have
three equal branches of government, and we are not a democracy,
(21:39):
We are not a mob rule. We were never intended
to be a two party system. The intention was always
the real power would belong with the people, and that
is done through every state having two senators to protect states'
rights because we're the United States of America. And then
the People's House, the House of Representatives other chamber, and
(22:01):
that was to represent the populace. So if you have
more people living in a state, you should have more
representatives in a state in the House, not the Senate.
So what happens when people move to certain places and
they grow in population? What happens when they leave certain
places and they have less population? Will they become worth
(22:25):
less and worth more? Now, even within a state, I
can tell you I live in Tennessee, and I don't
know what the growth is it's over. It's been over
one hundred a day for the twenty years I've lived here.
I don't know how to describe. I moved here eighteen
years ago, and it was Los Angeles nineteen seventy three,
(22:49):
and now I'm sitting on Los Angeles, you know, at
its highest rate. But they've been all coming to Middle Tennessee,
the Nashville metro area. So you wouldn't want more representation
in Western Tennessee or Eastern Tennessee. So it's all in
a concentrated area. You wouldn't just let that one representative
(23:13):
just have more constituents, So you redraw districts so that
the population can be effectively served and represented. That causes
you to redraw district lines. So that's constitutional. That's necessary
in a representative republic. Now, if you're doing it nefariously
(23:35):
in order to ensure and you're drawing the lines based
not on the population and representation, but on what will
help an R or a D get elected, that's jerry mandering.
But America is not interested in dealing with jerry mandering.
We're just interested in making it a political football. And
(23:55):
of course, with the media in the back pocket of
the Democrats when they do it, not a peep when
the Republicans do it. Oh, it's a massive conspiracy to
destroy democracy. I think I'm kidding. And nobody watches CNN,
nobody watches MSNBC or ABCNBCCBS, or reads the Washington Post
(24:19):
or New York Times. But they've all lost credibility. But
it hasn't stopped them from doing what they do. Here's
a montage of how the left has handled this story
out of Texas.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
Listening new threats, Republicans in Texas ramp up their efforts
to scare and threaten democratic lawmakers into returning to the state.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
This is wild.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
What could this mean for the midterms and democracy itself?
Speaker 5 (24:40):
Not good for democracy, not good for the electoral system.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
You're in an existential crisis for American democracy.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Right This is the way? Can we do a moratorium
on existential crises? Everything's an existential crisis.
Speaker 6 (24:54):
The ways the blueprint for how democracy ends up getting lost.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
What's happened in Texas right now is not normal.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
This is unprecedented, unprecedented, unprecedented, totally unprecedented.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
This is a bleatant power grad This seems like a
power graph. Lots of people are angry over the potential.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
Power graphs or Republican power grad that's unfolding in the state.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
All right, so obviously they're on a script. Obviously it's
in there. It doesn't matter what network, doesn't matter what show,
doesn't matter what hosts. They're all saying the same thing. Unprecedented.
I got news for the difference between registricting and jerry mandering,
and neither are unprecedented. Proof. Here's the soon to be
(25:36):
fired Stephen Colbert. You couldn't be more firmly in the
back pocket of the Democrat Party, just yucking it up
with the obese governor of Illinois, and even he has
to point out the jerry mandering that has taken place
in Illinois, the true district lines that look so ridiculous.
And this is where the Texas representatives fled to, so
(26:00):
appalled by the jerry mandering in Texas that they go
to the gerrymandering capital of the world, Illinois. Listen, uh
that is yeah.
Speaker 9 (26:09):
I mean, look so, because all states to a certain
extent do this, why is what Texas.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Doing particular grecious in this case?
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Well, here, every ten years we do a census in
this country, and right after the census, we redraw.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Districts in every state. Now, watch how these are drawn.
Speaker 9 (26:28):
If you're if you're considered, if you're considering doing a
little more redrawing in Illinois, you already have some crazy
districts in Illinois.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Take a look at this.
Speaker 9 (26:36):
Look a look at seventeen here.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
It does that.
Speaker 9 (26:39):
Then it comes up here, and it sneaks around there
and goes all the way up here and then goes
right over there.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
All right, So, in other words, he's showing you, however,
a three hundred miles stretch of land. They have drawn
this to ensure that very blue districts are incorporated, to
ensure the Democrats keep getting re elected. There's some other
crazy drawings in Illinois. He's going to point out as
well that I.
Speaker 9 (27:00):
Look at look at look at this one kind of
go whip up there. It's like the stinger on a
scorpion down here. Is this common for all states to do?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
We handed it over to a kindergarten class and let
them decide when they do it. It's funny. When the
Republicans do it, it's a threat to democracy. Watch the
governor of Massachusetts. This one really gets laughable.
Speaker 8 (27:23):
Oss that region, while some set Texas Democrats are in
blue states such as Massachusetts.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Oh wait, I think I went too far home.
Speaker 8 (27:31):
Mind tonight we talked with some of those law megans.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
My bad, dude, this is going to probably try to reset.
Speaker 10 (27:38):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
That's because I snuck and played it earlier when I
told you I didn't want to play it earlier. Remember,
just do your rewind sound effect. U. Yeah, but I
think it's going to make me sit there. Commercial. I
may have to come back to that later. You know,
I always get him in later. Now it doesn't even
want to requeue. Now, it's doing an ad for a
place I bought my girls trucks at. So that'll bed.
(28:03):
But what's important about this video clip is Okay, even
if I was dumb enough to buy into the narratives
and play this game along with the biased media, along
with some crazy governors who are now threatening to redraw
their maps because Texas is redrawing there, they've already drawn
(28:23):
them in such a way that they already control everything.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
Listen, fite Republicans already picking up seats after the last
map was created. Republicans added four additional house seats after
the twenty twenty two election, critics say several Democratic seats
were drawn out. Democrats won just three districts located around
the Orlando area in twenty twenty, now just two surround
the city. Another district in northern Florida stretched from Tallahassee
(28:50):
to Jacksonville. Those two metro areas are now incorporated into larger.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Districts with more rural areas.
Speaker 8 (28:56):
Some Texas Democrats are now making their way to Massachusetts,
where the governor there was asked about possible redistricting.
Speaker 7 (29:07):
You know, isn't it a sad state of affairs that
that's where we're at?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Okay, and sad state of affairs, that's where we're at,
Like this is something new. By the way, she's already
jerry mandered her state to zero Republican districts, but she
has the goal to continue.
Speaker 7 (29:26):
You do, Donald Trump, Greg Abbott, Ken Paxton have left
us no choice.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
That's the reality.
Speaker 8 (29:34):
Reality, as you can see, is that Massachusetts has no
Republican in US House members, no Republican members, nor does
any state north of New York on the East Coast,
despite President Trump winning about forty percent of the vote
across that region.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
They have jerry mandered the entire East Coast. First of all,
how laughable is their threat? What would you redistrict? You've
already drawn the lines to where they're locked out. That's
your cue that this is all narrative and politics over reality,
(30:12):
over the constitution, over a republic. You still haven't solved
the matrix. You still haven't solved the death of journalism.
You still haven't solved a two party stranglehold that was
never intended. This goes to gen Zers. I love this
(30:32):
clip because they're astounded at the research that shows gen Zers,
out of all the generations, want to go to work.
Everybody else wants to work from home. But everybody else
didn't have their life destroyed by COVID overreach.
Speaker 7 (30:47):
Listen, really, when you think about culturally the shift that
started happening in twenty twenty, young people had our entire
lives thrust into the metaverse, really against our will. We
started dating online. All of our friendships and relationships took
place online. Certainly, all of our entertainment was digital, and
work in school were as well.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
So as was the being locked up in your room
in the social dilemma and suicidal and lonely. You don't
have a healthy respect for how long two to three
years is at certain ages, you're used to being your
age now and time flies as the eagles would sing,
The hours go by like minutes. Oh remember when you
(31:31):
were young, Remember how long fifth grade took to get
to sixth grade? And these people were locked up in
their house and never academically were able to catch up,
locked up in their house, and never able to socialize
in person with others. And this is a habit that
(31:53):
they take in to the rest of their life. So
why people need to go to jail for what they
did with COVID, but they certainly need to be never
trusted again.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
Watch as she continues, we instantly were thrust into a
disconnected culture where loneliness and mental health problems started to thrive.
In our quest to rebuild meaningful connection, I think the
easy button and the easiest way to do that is
by starting a hybrid work schedule or in person work
so that we can sense that real, tangible connection with
(32:24):
other people again. And you're starting to see this behavior
not just in the workplace, but we're ditching our dating
apps and bringing back in person speed dating events in
big cities all over the country. You're looking at people
really wanting to build something with their hands, to touch
one another, and to have that sense of really.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
I'm telling you something, and I've said it a million
times and I'll say it again. Everything against this generation,
everything to spell Ichabod, kind of like the generation birthed
out of the depression that became the greatest generation that
liberated the world. Oh, when the enemy came in like
a flood. God always raises the levee, always raises the standard.
(33:06):
They should be doomed, and yet I have the highest
hopes for that generation. They may end up being the greatest,
greatest generation for what they survived. And that's because me
hope on housing and other things. They get it. They
(33:28):
get it more than the generations that created the mess
they're having to overcome. She's gonna get smoked. He's got
to stopped.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
I really don't know what he said at the end
of this, and I don't think he knows what he've
said either.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
I know what I said.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
It's got to be a big misunderstanding.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
How do you like my garbage? I love your garbage
coup all right. They're always revealing, they're often entertaining. That's
your sounds of the day for this Thursday, August, the
seventh year of Our.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Lord, It's Your Morning Show with Michael Del Jorno.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I wait had a long time to sing a little
Steve Wooden, would Valerie column me, Valerie and the same
boy I used to be.
Speaker 10 (34:09):
I am voting with my feet and moved to Middle
Tennessee from Illinois, the Jerry Mandarin capital of the world.
It's amazing that anybody would want to talk to the
governor of Illinois because they've been doing that for decades
and it's just crazy that they think it's funny.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
And I'm right there with you. I'm glad you're with us,
and welcome to Middle Tennessee, Land of the Brave and
the same. Well, the exception of when you're seventy two
years old and you've been a career politician, what do
you do you leave the Senate and come home to
run for governor. Other than that, we usually get it
right in Tennessee. All right, that's set for today.
Speaker 3 (34:51):

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Well, the President is not quite optimistic, but he's hopeful
at eleven upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin next week. Meanwhile,
the Trump sweeping tariffs are now in effect as of midnight,
and five soldiers at the Fort Stewart in Georgia are
recovering and all thank God, and stable condition. Meanwhile, the

which has everything you need to know your morning show related.
That's at your Morning Show Online dot com. Well, there
was a big buzz over the jobs report, even led
to a firing last week. Why was it down? Was
it even accurate? Was it rigged? Our Economist and Money
(01:39):
with David Bonsen, I'm sure about to be frustrated. Is
here to explain to us the jobs report? You know,
these reports are kind of like polls. They're having a
hard time getting the information. So you have early numbers,
then updated numbers, and then final numbers, and they're always
never the same. So I don't understand why this time
(02:01):
it's rigged and needs to be fired. I need you
to explain to me and the audience what's up with
the jobs report?
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Oh, Michael, I think you do understand, well.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
You know or I'm these things from but David seriously,
all joking aside, this is why you're on every week.
I stumbled upon you, and thank God every day I
have not only for your friendship, but for what you
bring to my audience. Because I knew we were on
and this was back when it happened years ago. I
(02:34):
knew we were heading into an economic window. And there
is not an area less understood and more ridiculously narrativized
and ignorantly sold to the American people than the economy.
So I grabbed you like Moses, to walk us through
this valley and take us to the promised Land. So really,
this is another great reason why you're here every Thursday,
(02:55):
and why a lot of my audience favors you and
loves you so walk them through jobs It's really we better.
We need to, Like all the other stories today, we
need to solve this jobs report issue, not misunderstand it
further through Trump theatrics.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Well, let's first decide what it is we need to solve.
So what happens is the monthly report is done by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is funded to run,
operated managed by the federal government, and they spend the
month surveying one hundred and twenty two thousand businesses, and
(03:32):
it's a survey where they're collecting data and then they
extrapolate it across the population in a model, and then
they apply seasonal adjustment. Then after that is done monthly,
that throughout the rest of the quarter the year, you
get real life data from unemployment insurance claims. So they
(03:53):
do the front end data monthly from survey and then
they get to true up the data with actual claims
that goes across the whole population. So I suppose people
could say, we don't want them to true it up
if the numbers were wrong, just leave it wrong. Okay,
that's fine. Or they could say the opposite, don't give
(04:15):
us the monthly estimates from a survey, just wait until
it's all known and the data is worthless because we're
getting it months and months later. Well, in twenty nineteen,
and again I'll ask the audience who was president in
the first term of Donald Trump. They had an adjustment
(04:35):
of five hundred and eighteen thousand jobs seasonally adjusted. I
believe it was five hundred and fifty thousand, where it
had been over reported how many jobs had been created,
and it got revised down then twenty twenty four, our mind,
the audience, the president was Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
They had the.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Exact same thing happenhundred eighty four thousand, so basically, within
a few units, the exact same level of adjustment.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
It's unfortunate that.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
The numbers can't always be better. But do I think
that it's partisan when almost to the number the same
thing happened in twenty nineteen in twenty twenty four, I
do not. I do not think it's partisan. Now I've
talked on the show before about how economists deal with
all sorts of things of collecting data that are multi factorial.
(05:34):
There's different things that play into it. I want a picture,
as a money manager and economist of how the jobs
world is going in the United States. I look at
the BLS monthly number, the weekly unemployment claims, the monthly
ADP number, which is private payrolls. The government doesn't touch
(05:56):
that data whatsoever, the true up number that comes from BLS.
There are all sorts of different data points we could
look to, and sometimes there's contradictions, sometimes there's validations, but
what there isn't is politicization. And so obviously we know
(06:18):
that the reason the President called for the termination of
the BOLS had last week was he didn't like the results.
But what I pointed out in giving a cafe throughout
my week to our readers who are like me, mostly
center right conservatives, was why does the ADP number private
(06:38):
payrolls nothing to do with the government, no bureaucrat, no
Biden voters, no deep state. Okay, why does that show
that are three month average of new jobs created in
the private sector is thirty seven thousand, and the six
month average was sixty seven thousand, and the twelve month
average was one hundred and twenty three. In the last
(07:01):
three years is two hundred and fifty thousand. So we
have seen the private numbers go down by half, then
by half again, then by half again. That's a pretty
big validation, and I wouldn't take it as a single
data point, but I would take it in tandem with
all the other data points.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Economist and Money was David Bonson from the Bonds and
Financial Group joining us as he does every Thursday morning,
and we're talking about the BLS firing and the BLS
numbers in general. I guess if we were like one
of these planes that go into hurricanes, and you know, start,
you know, measuring wind speeds in this dysfunction. The biggest
is these surveys are sent out, what percentage of returned,
and it's harder and harder to get them returned, just
(07:42):
like it's harder and harder to get people to answer
their phone and take a poll. So this current system
is just going to get or continue to be inaccurate
until people participate more and return these surveys, or we
should find a different measuring stick. Right.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Well, I do believe that there are always ways to
optimize the efficiency of it the technology so to the
extent that there's any push for operational improvement. But I
guess what I would say. And again you know this, Michael,
because you and I have developed this friendship and trust.
But I really want listeners to know this. I'm not
(08:20):
saying this to criticize President Trump, but this has to
be said. If the system has some areas in it
that need improvement, and the numbers coming back were all
good for Trump, would he be asking for improvements in
the system.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
He would not.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
I mean he just wouldn't be objectively, that's a fact.
So where the system needs to be improved, let's do it.
I think You're right that there needs to be better participation,
and I also wonder if there should be more coordination
with the private data available, because you know, we most
of us that work for have are paychecks involved. There
(08:59):
are company It's not always ADP, which happens to be
the largest, but that number is going to be very
hard to lie. And I also think the unemployment claims
are very hard to lie. So there are ways to
improve the process, but you can't improve it when you
undermine public trust, and you undermine public trust and you
fire somebody for no reason.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah, and again, there are things the president has instinctively
been very good at. Foreign policy is one of them.
But I know the people he has surrounded himself with.
One of them is always on the show weekly, all right,
So I think that's why he gets a lot of
things right. You know, a lot of the people surrounding
him under the topic of the economy, How did they
let him move forward with this? I'm just I don't
(09:40):
even know who was briefing him.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
There wasn't a single person involved with this one. The
numbers came out, I wasn't even done reading it, and
I mean real quickly, but for I saw his tweet,
So I know as a fact he didn't coordinate that
or discuss it, collaborate with anybody, and then he and
then the people are stuck having to go up on
(10:03):
television over the weekend defending the decisions.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
So and you would you would think there'd be more
media like we're doing right now that would explain this
to people, because I don't expect Look, you bring up
chemistry periodical table. I am a moron. I am. I
think I'm beyond ignorant. I'm a dummy, all right, but
it really isn't. I'm just ignorant. I don't follow that.
But you know, so I don't expect all the American
people to be up on BLS and and how they
(10:28):
get these numbers, and how they adjust these numbers and
how they've often been adjusted, and it often at certain percentages.
But when people don't understand it, and then people in
position and office use it for partisan weaponry, well that
almost needs to be is cured as much as survey participation.
So I'm just you know, it was just one of
(10:50):
those we had to do. And I know there are
some Look, if you're one of those people that all
you're hearing is us criticizing the president right now, Well,
then you're not the kind of reasoned people that this
show is built for. I'll speak for me. I still
love the President. I'm still happy with my vote. I
still think he's a historic figure. I think he's very
wrong on this issue, and it's wrong to perpetuate this
(11:13):
level of ignorance. All right, all the midnight, now here
come all the trades? Does this help with some of
the uncertainty? I look down now, India's got themselves in
hot water over buying oil from Russia. But if I
put that aside, really Canada and I guess China going
beyond a framework to an actual deal. There is no
deal with Mexico, but they've been given a ninety day
(11:34):
extension and there's a good relationship there. Really Canada is
the one that really needs to make a deal and
quickly or they're going to pay dearly. Other than that,
I'm and Bill, Bill and Brazil. All right, so walk
us through what you think. Now it's midnight. And with
the exception of India, who's in hot water, Canada who's
playing tough, and Mexico has ninety days, and China that
(11:56):
has a framework that needs to be ironed out and
become a reality, and they're not a trustworth person to
negotiate with. In my book, where are we at with uncertainty?
Certainty with tariffs and revenue and building blocks for industry?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Well, look, if you are a shareholder in Nvidia and
Apple and any other multi trillion dollar company, you had
a good night because he gave an exception to the
biggest and most powerful companies.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
If you are a small.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Business owner that imports component parts for your technology electronics
company and you do one hundred million dollars in sales
or or one million dollars in sales instead of one
hundred billion dollars in sales, then you had a really,
really bad night. So the semiconductor decisions made in the
(12:44):
last forty eight hours are really good for big business
in America, they're really bad for small business. The biggest
thing I kind of want to push back on that
you just said, which I think is a figure of speech,
but it's increasingly bothering me. When you say Canada is
going to pay dearly, words are.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Going to pay dearly? I give it you.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Well, well, importers more specifically, right, the businesses that buy
the things and we don't have to speculate on this one,
because the biggest thing we import from Canada, besides the
fact that they sell us oil and gas below market prices,
is aluminum, and they are able to make it far
cheaper than we are for a lot of reasons. And
(13:26):
there's just simply no reason for us to have a
thirty five or thirty nine percent DEREK with an ally
nation like Canada. But they will, they will suffer to
the extent that it hurts their economy, whether it's in
demand erosion or profit margin erosion or whatever else. But
I just think that that figure of speech is becoming
(13:48):
very commonplace because the President will say it a lot
of you know, we're going to get paid, meaning the
government's going to get paid. That's just not the way
we generally talk about taxes were paying them. It's a
cost to the economy, it's not an input.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
To the economy.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
But I also confident he will end up getting a
deal done with Canada. But you know, he's a president's
a big negotiator, and he happens to be dealing with
Kim Carney, excuse me, Mark Karney, who is himself kind
of a negotiator.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
So they're playing that game.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
I'm more concerned on the Brazil thing because I just
am a little shocked that nobody is willing to call
out what you know, there's no other country where the
President is saying the reason we're driving a hard bargain
is I don't like what they're doing to their people.
He like.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
In other words, there's a far.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Left government in Brazil and they had a far right
guy who lost the election that the President liked, and
so Trump is using that as his reason to go
after the teriffs. Where all of his other rationales, and
whether I agree with it or not, it's in something America. First,
I go, I want a better deal for America, or
I want or I want want some kind of you know,
(15:03):
reciprocity or something like that. So there's just various issues
with Brazil that are a little bit tricky politically, but
hopefully that'll get fixed too. And the India thing, I
definitely agree with you. He's doing the right thing to
try to drive a bargain on them not working with Russia.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
The Dividendcafe at Dividendcafe dot com this week tomorrow it'll
be on what.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
You know that's funny. I almost always know by Thursday morning,
and I do topic pick.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yet, Well, you've already done the bls. Yeah, maybe trade
as a component of diplomacy. I don't know. I can't
give you ideas. You're the money wiz, not me. David Bonsen,
he'll figure it out and the Dividendcafe dot com will
have your briefing tomorrow and we will talk to David
(15:53):
next week.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chuno.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Joe's got something on his mind.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Good morning, Michael. Yep, conversation was the same last night.
How in the heck we're gonna watch our NFL this year?
It's a shame that all these streaming services and table
channels have hijacked the NFL. I just hope and pray
the politics don't hijack the NFL anyway, have a great day,
go Ravens.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
You mean the way gaming has hijacked the NFL. Well again,
you know, the NFL is more selling itself out to
cover outrageous salaries more than it's being hijacked. But it
is hard to know where to go. Hey, this is
Top Cop Kathy Hinters and my morning show is your
Morning Show with Michael Dale jorno.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can
be heard live each weekday morning five to eighth 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 ever. We're
grateful you're here now, enjoy the podcast. This is your
morning show. I am Michael del Jornal. Thanks for bringing
(17:08):
us along. A lot of you are venting about the NFL.
You know, there was a time where you could go
to an NFL game and it was reasonable. There was
a time you knew what to turn on and where
to catch a game. If it was Sunday, it was CBS,
or it was NBC. If it was Sunday Night, it
(17:29):
was NBC. If it was Monday, it was ABC and
the later ESPN.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Now they're everywhere, and a lot of some of that's technology,
but a lot of that is NFL having to pay
these high salaries. Guys aren't playing for the game. You
can't go to a game. You take a family to
Ford to an NFL game. Try to have a couple
of drinks and eat. I'll miss at mortgage. Yeah, and
don't forget all the money they're scamming. I mean there's
people paying for the NFL in terms of gaming losses
(17:56):
as well. Oh, I can understand why the topic is frustrating.
And you know that's why I give me the NFL
red zone for six hours on Sunday and I'll call
it a day. We did have a shooting at Fort Stewart, Georgia.
Let's learn more about the shooter. The five that are
doing well and recovering. Thank god for your morning show
(18:16):
correspondent Rory o'neilis with us. Good morning, Rory, Hey, good
morning Michael. Yeah. And we're paying for their stadium too,
by the way, and their stadiums. Yeahbby, if you want
to start griping, where would you begin.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Yeah, it's a long long list. We might talk about
it more tomorrow. If Chris says it's okay.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Well, there is someone that does dictate what me and
Rory find interesting exactly. But look, there is a much
more serious topic.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
And as you said, thankfully, the five soldiers who were
wounded yesterday at that shooting in Fort Stewart are all
expected to recover. It looks like this may have been
a personal beef that the suspect in this case, witnesses say,
followed one of the victims to a maintenance area in
this room open fire, shooting him in the chest. It
seems that the other four soldiers may have been injured
(19:05):
trying to respond. But again, all this is still coming together.
The New York Times was able to interview the father
of the shooting suspect here. He said that his son
was trying to request a transfer to leave that base.
He had made claims again being investigated. Don't know he
had been making claims he had been victimized or the
victim of racism there at the base. But all these
(19:27):
different avenues of investigation are still open. The gunman was
taken into custody and he was not injured, so he
is still alive to tell us his version of events.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I mean, it sounds like the plot of a few
good men. I think the only thing we're rolling out
now is a code read okay. And then the suspect
was using a gun of his personal right ownership.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
He was a Florida native. Looks like he bought the
gun earlier this year. Now whether or not he bought
the gun for this specific purpose, did he buy it
just for general self defense?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
That stuff we don't know. Again part of the investigation.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
But he wasn't supposed to be bringing that gun on
the base as he did, so of course the base
operators want to know, you know, how he got around
that and what security measures need to be changed, if any.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
And we do know that rather immediately five tried it
did successfully eventually tackle him. That's interesting that you bring
up that. That's probably the other gunshot victims in doing so,
but they may be the heroes that have saved a
life in this unfortunate situation. They ran to the gunfire,
(20:32):
which is the difference. Roy O'Neil, great reporting. We'll find
out about the NFL tomorrow. All right, if you're just
waking up, it's time for your will mist They all
look like a bunch of girly men. He doesn't make
(20:54):
even change, so I mentioned earlier, I'm shaving myself, comes
up to me, and you know, he's very bright and
he does a lot of research on his own. I
think if there was a radio industry in the future,
I think the torch would have gone to another generation
but you know, he's got great instincts, and I love
(21:16):
that he doesn't come at things from matrix narrative perspectives.
And when he can't connect all the dots, he comes
to me and he challenges me with great questions. And
so I thought, using him as an example, why do
we redistrict? Well, for a very good reason. We have
three equal branches of government, and we are not a democracy,
(21:39):
We are not a mob rule. We were never intended
to be a two party system. The intention was always
the real power would belong with the people, and that
is done through every state having two senators to protect states'
rights because we're the United States of America. And then
the People's House, the House of Representatives other chamber, and
(22:01):
that was to represent the populace. So if you have
more people living in a state, you should have more
representatives in a state in the House, not the Senate.
So what happens when people move to certain places and
they grow in population? What happens when they leave certain
places and they have less population? Will they become worth
(22:25):
less and worth more? Now, even within a state, I
can tell you I live in Tennessee, and I don't
know what the growth is it's over. It's been over
one hundred a day for the twenty years I've lived here.
I don't know how to describe. I moved here eighteen
years ago, and it was Los Angeles nineteen seventy three,
(22:49):
and now I'm sitting on Los Angeles, you know, at
its highest rate. But they've been all coming to Middle Tennessee,
the Nashville metro area. So you wouldn't want more representation
in Western Tennessee or Eastern Tennessee. So it's all in
a concentrated area. You wouldn't just let that one representative
(23:13):
just have more constituents, So you redraw districts so that
the population can be effectively served and represented. That causes
you to redraw district lines. So that's constitutional. That's necessary
in a representative republic. Now, if you're doing it nefariously
(23:35):
in order to ensure and you're drawing the lines based
not on the population and representation, but on what will
help an R or a D get elected, that's jerry mandering.
But America is not interested in dealing with jerry mandering.
We're just interested in making it a political football. And
(23:55):
of course, with the media in the back pocket of
the Democrats when they do it, not a peep when
the Republicans do it. Oh, it's a massive conspiracy to
destroy democracy. I think I'm kidding. And nobody watches CNN,
nobody watches MSNBC or ABCNBCCBS, or reads the Washington Post
(24:19):
or New York Times. But they've all lost credibility. But
it hasn't stopped them from doing what they do. Here's
a montage of how the left has handled this story
out of Texas.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
Listening new threats, Republicans in Texas ramp up their efforts
to scare and threaten democratic lawmakers into returning to the state.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
This is wild.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
What could this mean for the midterms and democracy itself?
Speaker 5 (24:40):
Not good for democracy, not good for the electoral system.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
You're in an existential crisis for American democracy.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Right This is the way? Can we do a moratorium
on existential crises? Everything's an existential crisis.
Speaker 6 (24:54):
The ways the blueprint for how democracy ends up getting lost.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
What's happened in Texas right now is not normal.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
This is unprecedented, unprecedented, unprecedented, totally unprecedented.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
This is a bleatant power grad This seems like a
power graph. Lots of people are angry over the potential.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
Power graphs or Republican power grad that's unfolding in the state.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
All right, so obviously they're on a script. Obviously it's
in there. It doesn't matter what network, doesn't matter what show,
doesn't matter what hosts. They're all saying the same thing. Unprecedented.
I got news for the difference between registricting and jerry mandering,
and neither are unprecedented. Proof. Here's the soon to be
(25:36):
fired Stephen Colbert. You couldn't be more firmly in the
back pocket of the Democrat Party, just yucking it up
with the obese governor of Illinois, and even he has
to point out the jerry mandering that has taken place
in Illinois, the true district lines that look so ridiculous.
And this is where the Texas representatives fled to, so
(26:00):
appalled by the jerry mandering in Texas that they go
to the gerrymandering capital of the world, Illinois. Listen, uh
that is yeah.
Speaker 9 (26:09):
I mean, look so, because all states to a certain
extent do this, why is what Texas.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Doing particular grecious in this case?
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Well, here, every ten years we do a census in
this country, and right after the census, we redraw.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Districts in every state. Now, watch how these are drawn.
Speaker 9 (26:28):
If you're if you're considered, if you're considering doing a
little more redrawing in Illinois, you already have some crazy
districts in Illinois.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Take a look at this.
Speaker 9 (26:36):
Look a look at seventeen here.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
It does that.
Speaker 9 (26:39):
Then it comes up here, and it sneaks around there
and goes all the way up here and then goes
right over there.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
All right, So, in other words, he's showing you, however,
a three hundred miles stretch of land. They have drawn
this to ensure that very blue districts are incorporated, to
ensure the Democrats keep getting re elected. There's some other
crazy drawings in Illinois. He's going to point out as
well that I.
Speaker 9 (27:00):
Look at look at look at this one kind of
go whip up there. It's like the stinger on a
scorpion down here. Is this common for all states to do?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
We handed it over to a kindergarten class and let
them decide when they do it. It's funny. When the
Republicans do it, it's a threat to democracy. Watch the
governor of Massachusetts. This one really gets laughable.
Speaker 8 (27:23):
Oss that region, while some set Texas Democrats are in
blue states such as Massachusetts.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Oh wait, I think I went too far home.
Speaker 8 (27:31):
Mind tonight we talked with some of those law megans.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
My bad, dude, this is going to probably try to reset.
Speaker 10 (27:38):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
That's because I snuck and played it earlier when I
told you I didn't want to play it earlier. Remember,
just do your rewind sound effect. U. Yeah, but I
think it's going to make me sit there. Commercial. I
may have to come back to that later. You know,
I always get him in later. Now it doesn't even
want to requeue. Now, it's doing an ad for a
place I bought my girls trucks at. So that'll bed.
(28:03):
But what's important about this video clip is Okay, even
if I was dumb enough to buy into the narratives
and play this game along with the biased media, along
with some crazy governors who are now threatening to redraw
their maps because Texas is redrawing there, they've already drawn
(28:23):
them in such a way that they already control everything.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
Listen, fite Republicans already picking up seats after the last
map was created. Republicans added four additional house seats after
the twenty twenty two election, critics say several Democratic seats
were drawn out. Democrats won just three districts located around
the Orlando area in twenty twenty, now just two surround
the city. Another district in northern Florida stretched from Tallahassee
(28:50):
to Jacksonville. Those two metro areas are now incorporated into larger.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Districts with more rural areas.
Speaker 8 (28:56):
Some Texas Democrats are now making their way to Massachusetts,
where the governor there was asked about possible redistricting.
Speaker 7 (29:07):
You know, isn't it a sad state of affairs that
that's where we're at?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Okay, and sad state of affairs, that's where we're at,
Like this is something new. By the way, she's already
jerry mandered her state to zero Republican districts, but she
has the goal to continue.
Speaker 7 (29:26):
You do, Donald Trump, Greg Abbott, Ken Paxton have left
us no choice.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
That's the reality.
Speaker 8 (29:34):
Reality, as you can see, is that Massachusetts has no
Republican in US House members, no Republican members, nor does
any state north of New York on the East Coast,
despite President Trump winning about forty percent of the vote
across that region.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
They have jerry mandered the entire East Coast. First of all,
how laughable is their threat? What would you redistrict? You've
already drawn the lines to where they're locked out. That's
your cue that this is all narrative and politics over reality,
(30:12):
over the constitution, over a republic. You still haven't solved
the matrix. You still haven't solved the death of journalism.
You still haven't solved a two party stranglehold that was
never intended. This goes to gen Zers. I love this
(30:32):
clip because they're astounded at the research that shows gen Zers,
out of all the generations, want to go to work.
Everybody else wants to work from home. But everybody else
didn't have their life destroyed by COVID overreach.
Speaker 7 (30:47):
Listen, really, when you think about culturally the shift that
started happening in twenty twenty, young people had our entire
lives thrust into the metaverse, really against our will. We
started dating online. All of our friendships and relationships took
place online. Certainly, all of our entertainment was digital, and
work in school were as well.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
So as was the being locked up in your room
in the social dilemma and suicidal and lonely. You don't
have a healthy respect for how long two to three
years is at certain ages, you're used to being your
age now and time flies as the eagles would sing,
The hours go by like minutes. Oh remember when you
(31:31):
were young, Remember how long fifth grade took to get
to sixth grade? And these people were locked up in
their house and never academically were able to catch up,
locked up in their house, and never able to socialize
in person with others. And this is a habit that
(31:53):
they take in to the rest of their life. So
why people need to go to jail for what they
did with COVID, but they certainly need to be never
trusted again.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
Watch as she continues, we instantly were thrust into a
disconnected culture where loneliness and mental health problems started to thrive.
In our quest to rebuild meaningful connection, I think the
easy button and the easiest way to do that is
by starting a hybrid work schedule or in person work
so that we can sense that real, tangible connection with
(32:24):
other people again. And you're starting to see this behavior
not just in the workplace, but we're ditching our dating
apps and bringing back in person speed dating events in
big cities all over the country. You're looking at people
really wanting to build something with their hands, to touch
one another, and to have that sense of really.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
I'm telling you something, and I've said it a million
times and I'll say it again. Everything against this generation,
everything to spell Ichabod, kind of like the generation birthed
out of the depression that became the greatest generation that
liberated the world. Oh, when the enemy came in like
a flood. God always raises the levee, always raises the standard.
(33:06):
They should be doomed, and yet I have the highest
hopes for that generation. They may end up being the greatest,
greatest generation for what they survived. And that's because me
hope on housing and other things. They get it. They
(33:28):
get it more than the generations that created the mess
they're having to overcome. She's gonna get smoked. He's got
to stopped.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
I really don't know what he said at the end
of this, and I don't think he knows what he've
said either.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
I know what I said.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
It's got to be a big misunderstanding.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
How do you like my garbage? I love your garbage
coup all right. They're always revealing, they're often entertaining. That's
your sounds of the day for this Thursday, August, the
seventh year of Our.

boy I used to be.
Speaker 10 (34:09):
I am voting with my feet and moved to Middle
Tennessee from Illinois, the Jerry Mandarin capital of the world.
It's amazing that anybody would want to talk to the
governor of Illinois because they've been doing that for decades
and it's just crazy that they think it's funny.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
And I'm right there with you. I'm glad you're with us,
and welcome to Middle Tennessee, Land of the Brave and
the same. Well, the exception of when you're seventy two
years old and you've been a career politician, what do

run for governor. Other than that, we usually get it
right in Tennessee. All right, that's set for today.
