Show with Michael del John.
Speaker 2 (00:06):

of talk, a new way of understanding, because we're in
this together.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
This is your Morning Show with michael'dell John.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
I've been called a lot of things, but never thatt Uh.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
That's right up there.
Speaker 5 (00:29):
But that's Friday, right, are you?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Sarian?
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Maybe it wasn't a good idea to have our listeners
write some letters for Mike. We caan't, after all, seven
minutes after the hour. Oh clink, it's Thursday, August, the
seventh year of our Lord, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
I know it.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Seriously, there is just no way to measure time moving
at this speed.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Not only that, I mean that's without sleep. Yeah, and
now we're trying to keep up.
Speaker 6 (00:56):
Yesterday I spent a couple hours trying to track foot
ball of where I could watch football.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Have you been through this lately? Yeah, that's a nightmare.
Good God.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
But I mean, I blink. Here's the Little League World
Series upon US college football.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
College football ready to kick off.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
They're going to wreck them down on my birthday.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
We got Texas, those longhorns. Oh this no wretch. You're
dropping those hints. What do you want? Seriously? What do
you want to party for my birthday? Yeah? You keep
dropping it. Watch it's the buck Is it the buck House?
And you want Red now to take you to a bar?
Is that what you want? What do you want?
Speaker 7 (01:31):
You know?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I don't drink, I know, but you want to go
to the sports bar? You want to go to David
Busters over there at our big mall.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
I don't know, Scottland. Some cotton candy going to be involved?
What am I too old for clowns?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I don't know. You just keep dropping these hints. I
want to make miss come to make me something out
of a balloon. We'll get you a clown, all right,
several of them, all right?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Nine minutes after the hour walking to Thursday August, the
seventh year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
The after midn all the tariffs are going.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
To be so it's deal or no deal time.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
I mean, you might as well get Howie Mandel to
get on the phone with the banker and some of
these countries who haven't cut deals yet, because the Trump
sweeping tariffs are now in effect for everyone who doesn't
have a deal we'll run out who has a deal,
who doesn't. Most, I will say this, most are about
to get really stiffed. I would I think red, would
(02:28):
you cut the chase and say Canada might be the
most significant as the clock struck midnight, doesn't have a deal,
and here it comes up to fifty percent tariffs. I
think we're safe in saying that we had a shooter
at Fort Stewart, Georgia, a sergeant who brought his own gun,
wounded five. He's in custody. The five are being treated rassmusentity.
(02:53):
In our polls, a plenty asked the question is the
American dream alive? I think the American dream? You know,
you got two things today. You get President Trump and
he doesn't. He doesn't want to make the announcement that
he's meeting with Putin next week because it's not a
done deal. He doesn't necessarily feel comfortable saying optimistic because
Putin keeps letting him down. So we just leave it
(03:16):
at hopeful. So I think, you know, I'll use that
train of thought. I think the American people are more
hopeful than ever that the American dream is alive, but
it is still connected to the ability to buy one's
own home, and that has not been solved yet, so
we'll crunch those numbers for you. Also in our polls
of plenty and again, I have no. I don't believe
(03:41):
in the climate. I mean, yes, I believe in climate change.
We go through cycles, but the catastrophic tied to human
beings and CO two global warming, I believe is a hoax.
So I don't buy things based on a hoax. I
don't think you know. I think most of the people
I see driving around where I live are driving electric
because they like it, and it's predominantly alex Tesla. But
(04:06):
I purchased my first ever EV and I love it,
but it has nothing to do with global warming. It
really doesn't have anything. Now I say I didn't purchase
it at least it I don't know that. I don't
know that I could make not that any cars make sense.
They just depreciate, and they're way more expensive than they
should be. Put you start getting into the battery and
(04:28):
battery replacement. I don't know they'd be comfortable owning it,
nor do I think i'd be comfortable having all evs,
in case anything ever happened with electricity. I like the
ability to put some gas in and put my head
down in the pedal to the metal and head for eyeground.
But to have one EV, I'm loving it because I
love the way it drives.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
That's predominantly it.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
But when you think of the government, media hype, manipulation
and push second only to COVID shoving EV down your throat, really,
what a remarkable failure. And when I share the rasmusen,
there's still seven out of ten with no intention of
buying one, and there are certain manufacturers that are going
(05:14):
all EV. Who sits down? You know, It's like when
we were doing Howard Stern yesterday. I'm not gonna sit
here and bash Howard Stern. I would say Howard Stern
would be one of my top five examples of success
by way of uniqueness. Now he has shifted from being
(05:36):
that his audience has now gotten old as he is old.
But when you just look at the shift in technology
and listening patterns, and especially for those under thirty, and
the amount of subscribers that SiriusXM has and him getting
one hundred million dollars a year and whatever else the
cost of the production of that show is, it just
(05:58):
doesn't make any financial sense. How did you get this far?
Howd Cobert get this far? You better expect a lot
more next. But when you look down and you see
seventy percent no plans to buy an EV, and you're.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Going all EV.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
Who fishes to such, I think there's one bash. We
got tons of fish here, here, here, and here, but
I think there's one hanging out over here right now
by that post. Let's take all our fishermen and put
them there. It just doesn't make sense.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
And then you know, I don't I don't know how Mercedes, BMW,
Cadillac others view this, but you know, once you're in
the electric realm, what percentage of that? It's pure tesla.
So I mean some of these things, like this week
has been filled with things that just make no sense.
And it's because people refuse to see reality. They're living
(07:04):
in a false reality or a narrative, and they're running
their businesses based on it. I think I just think
that's a little fascinating. But the American dream, it's tied
to home ownership. We have not solved that problem yet,
but the American dream is coming back alive. As for
the EV dream of the left, it's sputtering along. That's
in our polls of plenty A little bit later on,
(07:31):
you know, you would think I can understand that. You know,
when Vladimir Putin began this exercise and nobody ever aren't
you shocked that nobody ever discusses his motives? What was
he planning to accomp Was it just Ukraine? Was it
(07:52):
just a portion of Ukraine? Was it Ukraine? And keep going?
Now I've looked at the man's life, the totality the
man's life. This is just my opinion, and it's worth
no more than yours. My guess is he's not thrilled.
They're not the Soviet Union. But that's not what he's
trying to reassemble. He's dead set. I'm putting back together
(08:14):
the Russian Empire map, and that's clearly not going to happen.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Now.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
He might have had a shot to finish Ukraine if
he'd have gotten four more years of Biden or of
Kamala Harris. But the minute Trump won, not to mention
the resilience of Ukraine. But now you are sitting you
want to talk about an example of somebody that's living
in a narrative and not reality. You've got a president
(08:43):
in the United States now that doesn't means what he says,
and says what he means, and he's also renegotiating. He's
got all of Europe now paying their fair share. So
the world is united even more so than before. With
a leader Donald Trump with the resources, with the weapons
to continue to support Ukraine, you're not going to win,
(09:05):
let alone move on to anywhere else. And the next
place you move with trip NATO, you're asking for a
world war. You're struggling with Ukraine. I mean, where is
Putin going with this? And he's been given several opportunities
to save face and take an exit ramp and say
whatever he wants at home. I think he's getting one
(09:26):
last chance. So in that sense, I'm optimistic the reality
will set in for Vladimir Putin. I'm hopeful he will
least sit down and talk with President Trump. Now, assuming
this happens, and assuming the sense, how then do you
(09:48):
deny Donald Trump the Nobel Ps Prize. It's like having
a Hall of Fame and Beate Rose isn't in it.
I mean, really, no, shoeless Joe don't beat Rose. So
it'll be interesting to see how that plays out. We
(10:09):
never come at this without a team. And I joke
all the time just for Stick's sake, but I wouldn't
want to do one minute of the show without you,
the listeners. I wouldn't want to do one minute of
the show without Red. I wouldn't want to do one
minute of this show without Jeffrey. And I always say,
Jeffrey's serving you and Red serving us up with content.
You have no idea how much these guys work prior
(10:30):
to us going on the air and do a flawless job.
And then I would never want to do this show
without White House correspondent John Decker President Trumps sweeping global
tariffs going to effect today. John will be reporting from
his Heineken US Open Tennis folding chair just outside the
Oval office. A little bit later on Rory taking a
(10:50):
look at Milwaukee is a place to sell a house?
Las Vegas is the best place to buy a house.
Where are we at with the affordability in housing? And
knowing he doesn't know it yet, how we're going to
tie that to the American dream that reported six Central,
seven o five Eastern becomes more important than ever? And
then will be back in the third hour to discuss
what happened at Fort Stewart, Georgia yesterday in that shooting,
(11:14):
and we'll break down the terraffs as soon as we
come back here in just a few minutes. So there's
a lot going on, but we got a lot of correspondence,
We got a lot of contributors. David Bonson's going to
join us on what's up with the jobs report? Why
was it down or was it rigged? Or what's built
(11:35):
into these things all the time that causes them to
change our money was and economist David Bonson will break
that down and what the impact of those who don't
have a deal yet that are getting higher tariffs may
have on the market in the very near future and
long term for the US economy.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
This is your morning show with Michael.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Use the talkback button, or if you're old fashion, you
can always email me Michael Dee at iHeartMedia dot com.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Hey, we're just waking up. Twenty six minutes after the.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Hour, These off your top nine stories of the day.
President Trump's sweeping tariff slate went into effect at midnight
Eastern time.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Mark Mayfield has.
Speaker 8 (12:18):
More important taxes are going to reach levels not seen
in the country in almost one hundred years, with over
sixty countries and the European Union facing rates of fifteen
percent or more. A wide variety of products will be hit,
ranging from appliances, cars, food, and furniture. In a post
on truth Social just after things went into effect, Trump
said billions of dollars are now flowing into the US.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
A'm Mark Mayfield. Well.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
The woman who was seen punched and hitting the street
in a video from last month's brawl in Cincinnati or
attack I would call it at Cincinnati, says she thought
she was going to die.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Brian Shook has details.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
In a news conference Wednesday with Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno,
the woman known as Holly spoke to reporters, I.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Still am just shocked that I didn't so and so
are my doctors.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Holly is recovering from a concussion, and doctors are concerned
she may have some neurological damage. Six suspects are in
custody and facing charges after the violent assault. City leaders
have indicated that more arrests are possible. I'm Brian Shuck.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
UCLA says that Trump administration has suspended some five hundred
and eighty four million dollars in grants from the school.
Speaker 9 (13:27):
The chancellor of the school says that's nearly double the
amount that was previously expected. UCLA is the first public
university to have federal grants frozen over allegations of civil
rights violations related to anti Semitism. Trump is withheld federal
funding over similar allegations against several Ivy League colleges. UCLA
just reached a six million dollar settlement with three Jewish
students and a Jewish professor for allegedly allowing pro Palestinian
(13:50):
protesters in twenty twenty four to block their access to
the campus. I'm Tammy Truhieo.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Another official in the Biden administration, is scheduled to testify
today in the GOP probe of X President Joe Biden's
mental fitness while in office. Anita Dunn, a former senior
advisor to Biden, previously agreed to a closed door interview,
but it's unknown whether or not she'll plead the fifth
in public. I can't believe Saturday Night Live hasn't jumped
on this, but Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome is the
(14:17):
latest target of South Park.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I'm going down South I'm going to have myself time.
Send me bases everywhere.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
The satirical cartoon has been taking aim with the Trump
administration in its new season that debuted last month. Episode
one brought in the larger share for South Park in
twenty five years and received more social media posts than
any other in the show's history. Episode two aired Wednesday
and featured a cartoon Christy Nome, leading ice raids and
shooting puppies in the street, including Crypto from the Superman movie,
(14:46):
but also featured mar A Lago as a fantasy island,
with President Trump as mister O'Rourke and JD Vance as
his tiny assistant.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I'm markingview.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
We're supposed to be outraged about this, and.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
We're giggling like schoolgirls.
Speaker 10 (15:01):
Hi, this is Jenny Bourne. My morning show is your
Morning Show with Michael gill Jorno.
Speaker 11 (15:12):
Hi, I'm Michael, and your Morning show is heard on
great radio stations across the country like one oh five,
nine twelve fifty w HNZ and Tampa, Florida, News Radio
five seventy wk b N and Youngstown, Ohio and news
Radio one thousand KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have
you listen to us live in the morning. And of
course we're so grateful you came for the podcast. Enjoy,
(15:33):
Rise and Shine, Grab that cup of coffee. Just throw
that leg right over the bed. You'll be up and
shuffling in no time. I know I did it a
couple hours ago. If you're just waking up. President Trump's
sweeping tariffs are in effect. Three NFL preseason games for
you to watch, and five soldiers at a Fort Stewart,
Georgia base were shot by their own sergeant with his
(15:58):
own gun. He is a custody The five are recuperating
in the hospital. Well, what's the big talk this week?
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Jerry mandering to which I'm shaving, And my son comes
up to me and says, well, how they're gonna do
with jerry mandering if it's against the law, And I said, well,
first of all, redistricting is a constitutional necessity. The assumption
that it's being drawn in such a way for advantage
(16:27):
is jerry mandering. Oh and by the way, they all
do it, Well, let's take it right there for one.
Even on Stephen Colbert canceled. Stephen Colbert, he couldn't resist
(16:48):
with Illinois Governor Printzker with him and showing him his
own map.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Listen, if you're considering doing a little more redrawing in Illinois.
You already have some crazy districts in Illinois.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Take a look at this.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Look a look at seventeen here it does that, then
it comes up here in it.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
By the way, if you're not familiar with these district maps,
they can be drawn in such a crazy way as
to craft a voting outcome. Illinois might even be worse,
may be the worst of them all. I mean, it's
just it looks like child drawings.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
And this is all very strategically done. So but what's
the point of this? Okay, So we're supposedly having a
meaningful discussion here. These people in Texas have fled the
legislature to avoid a vote on redistricting to Illinois, where
ILLINOI is one of the most prolific jerry manderers. So
(17:49):
you lose all credibility right there, hiding there, or in Massachusetts,
where they're equally as bad. And then on top of it,
you have these states who have done it in a
far more obvious way than Texas, and they're threatening to redraw. Well,
the laugh is you can't because you couldn't draw it
(18:10):
any crazier or better for you, which is what Stephen
Cobert is putting out to which governor Printzcure just cracks
a joke and laughs, and everybody moves on, sneaks.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Around there and goes all the way up here, and
then goes right over there like that, and look at
look at look at this one kind of goes whip
up there. It's like a stinger on a scorpion down here.
Is this common for all states to do?
Speaker 4 (18:34):
We handed it over to a kindergarten class and let
them decide.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
Okay, that's the non partisan group that does this.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Guy, and that's our independent commission.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
See when they do it, it's funny. That's the bottom line.
I loved. You have the the governor of Maine, among others,
coming forward saying they're being forced to redraw. Here's how
(19:04):
it played out on Fox.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
Some Texas Democrats are now making their way to Massachusetts,
where the governor there was asked about possible redistricting.
Speaker 9 (19:18):
You know, isn't it a sad state of affairs that
that's where we're at?
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Okay, and sad state of affairs that's where we're at.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
When she's already done it.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
You Donald Trump, Greg Abbott, Ken Paxton have left us
no choice.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
That's the reality.
Speaker 8 (19:34):
Reality, as you can see, is that Massachusetts has no
Republican in US House members, no Republican members, there's any.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
State north of New York on.
Speaker 12 (19:44):
The East Coast, despite President Trump winning about forty percent
of the vote across.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
I mean, can you imagine the entire East Coast has
been Jerry manner to block Republicans? How can they with
a straight face? I mean, I guess they unless they're
under the illusion that the media is still you know,
Rabbit Ears and ABC, NBCCBS in Washington Post of New
York Times and Chicago Tribute and get away with these
kinds of things as if we don't know. Can you
(20:12):
imagine that though Michael all of New England has no
US representatives and the only senator is Collins name which
you would argue, yeah, in name only, but yeah, but
I mean, and then and then they're threatening to redraw
what would you would you redraw in some red ones?
But I mean, I you never even said this. But
(20:34):
how dumb do they think we are that we can't
look and see that? Or I mean, there's even Colbert
so far left that he ran off all of his
audience and even he's pointing out. I mean, when you
look at those Illinois districts, there is that is, if
you looked up jerry mandering in the dictionary, that ought
(20:57):
to be the picture that pops up. That's literally connect
dots in whatever direction they have to go, and in
some cases for up to three hour drives in order
to make sure the vote comes out blue.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
And you're the one judging jerrymandering.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
You're the one giving safe haven to those who think
they're victims of jerrymandering in Texas, and they're all threatening
to redraw their lines that are already drawn because you
did him long before Donald Trump was president, and now
you're blaming Donald Trump that you've been put in this position.
I use the expression that my dad always used, and
(21:34):
I leave it short at bigger than a giraffe, but
oh my, bigger than a giraffe. But like everything else,
it's I'm sitting there shaving with my son. Well, it
is something serious to talk about. Now, censuses come out
(21:57):
and populations change and districts need to be redrawn. I
get that, But jerry mandering as a practice is worth discussing,
it's worth solving and stopping. And here it comes forward
like it always does in narrative form, and goes nowhere,
(22:19):
and it really does stink to high heaven. If your
goal is a representative, constitutional republic. But we never have
meaningful conversations. We have shirts and skins, he says, She says,
but this one. I mean, if you're going to play
(22:43):
this stunt sit down with your members of the legislature
saying we'll go anywhere but Massachusetts, Illinois, or Maine, which
is exactly where they go and exactly where the governors
are doing all they're talking. Well, this is unfortunate we've
been put in this position, but this is where we're at.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
We're gonna have to do it.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Really, you've jerry mannered the entire freaking East coast, and
we can put the maps up on the screen. Goose
mean gander, Gander, say helloed Goose. All right, I think
(23:26):
I don't need to beat this dead horse any longer,
do I? Forty three minutes after the hour for just
waking up, these are your top five stories of the day. Well,
President Trump is optimistically hopeful that he's been let down
before and not capable of confirming yet.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
An upcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin next week.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
Speaking from the White House, Trump said his US envoy
had good talks with Putin this week and was asked
if there was a breakthrough.
Speaker 12 (23:52):
I don't call it a breakthrough. I mean we've been
working under this a long time. There are thousands of
young people dying, mostly soldiers, but also well you know,
misso's being hit into Kiev and other places.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
Trump then started to say there's a good chance we
could be ending, then pause and added, ending the round,
ending the road. Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with what
he calls Putin's inaction toward any sort of seasfire deal.
He gave Russia until Friday to agree to a seasfire
or he would place sanctions against them.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
By Mark Neefield, speaking to President Trump yesterday, was joined
by Apple CEO Tim Cook at the White House.
Speaker 12 (24:24):
Today, Apple is announcing that it will invest six hundred
billion dollars this.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
With a B and parts of those investments include new
facilities in Texas, Arizona, Utah, New York, and about a
bee more than was expected.
Speaker 12 (24:39):
That's one hundred billion dollars more than they were originally
going to invest.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Another one of those officials in the Biden administration scheduled
to testify today in the fitness of the former ex
president Joe Biden and need A Dunn, who is the
former senior advisor to Biden. Now, She, like a couple
of others, had previously agreed to testif behind closed doors.
This won't be behind closed doors, so it's unknown as
to whether or not she will plead.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
The fifth.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Jack Osborne, son of Ozzy Osborne, is breaking his silence
on the.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Death of his father.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
The late Black Sabbath singer died on July twenty second
due to a heart attack, and Jack shared a tribute
to Ozzy on social media in the wake of his death.
When writing about his father, Jack said I got fourteen thousand,
five hundred one days with that man, and I know
that is such a blessing and added that the rocker
lived his life fully.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Hamilton is headed to the big screen. No, they didn't
take the time to actually make a new movie. It's
a performance featuring the Broadway Musicals original cast. It was
recorded in twenty sixteen. It will hit the theaters on
September the fifth. It first dropped on Disney Plus in
twenty twenty during COVID, and that kind of forced them
to cancel the theatrical in cinema release. So now the
(25:59):
Disney Plus special that was nominated for twelve Emmys and
winning two is head the theaters is part of the
musical's tenth anniversary. I gotta say, some Hamilton, this is
going to alienate me. And I know I always do this,
and why don't you just keep my mouth shut? Nobody
has to know, Like Sanati sits me down. I'm in Cleveland,
Oh yeah, you got to see this, And I'm like
Larry David Man, I'm like bobbing for apples, nodding off
(26:20):
in like five sod.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I mean, I just don't get it.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
And there's just there's two reactions, and there'll be something
that agree with me, and there'll be someone go, you're nuts, man,
that was just the greatest. But I notice people have
two reactions. You either don't get it, or you love it,
or you're not a lover of the theater. No, I
am okay, and uh you know, my gosh, I would
think Phantom of the Opera Jekyl and Hyde are two
(26:44):
of my all time favorites.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
So I get musicals. I just didn't get that one.
I don't know. I don't know why, but I can
tell you this.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
I don't respond well to rap music like I can
listen to a symphony. I can listen to New Orleans jazz.
I mean, I go from Lyle Lovett to Garth Brooks

OK So maybe that's just why do you know?

Today is National Sea Serpent Day, celebrating the first known
sighting of a snake like creature in the ocean, which
happened back in eighteen forty eight.
Speaker 10 (27:25):
That serpent was the dentalus in the South Atlantic. There
are sea serpent sightings in every ocean in the world.
Canada has Ogopogo, Scotland the Lochness Monster, there's one in
Japan with eight tails, and don't forget the kraken. But
there's no scientific evidence proving they actually exist because the
government will not fund searches, which means they don't exist,
(27:48):
or they do. I'm pre tennis.

a fun script and it may be seth Rogen's best
(28:36):
performance ever. Really charming and chanting movie and funny. Charlie's

It's your morning show with Michael del Journal.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Jna.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Jeffrey keeping an eye on the content or Jeffrey keeping
the music flowing, and Red keeping an eye on the
content content. Rech just said to me something off the air.
And again, I don't remember. I wasn't that conscious of
it when I was young, But Red said, don't you
remember when we were younger? Pretty much the districts were
drawn by counties and again and go back to the
(31:27):
big picture. And whenever my son comes to me and
I'm forced to explain something, it really gives me the
right perspective.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
All right.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
So, like let's say you said, you're thinking to yourself, well,
why don't we just take the five districts and as
the population changes, just the number of people and whatever
those districts are already at just grows. Well, that's not
the way the founding fathers wanted the populace to be represented.
So if and that's what tends to happen, like I
(31:56):
can tell you I live in Nashville, Metro, Glynn, Brentwood, Nashville, Gallaton, Hendersonville, Milt, Juliet.
That's where everybody's moving. So the state is growing, but
it's all growing in the same spot. The Memphis are
isn't growing like Middle Tennessee is, and Eastern Tennessee isn't
(32:17):
growing at all like Middle Tennessee is. So you have
to redraw or you don't have the representation. Remember the Senate,
everybody has two because we're the United States of America,
and you send the same amount of people from each
of the states to protect the state's rights. But the
populace was to be represented in the People's House. And
(32:39):
so if you have more people living in this state,
then that state, well, then the state with more people
has more members of the United States House of Representatives.
But then once people grow in that state, you got
to redraw the lines because they're usually going to the
same areas and that's where you start drawing. But the drawings,
(33:00):
like Stephen Colbert revealed that the Governor of Illinois just
laughing at that's jerry mandering. And I know that there
are some that would say, well, Texas is certainly, or
at least this is the narrative of the left. Anyway,
they're trying to redraw it, you know, to keep the
state red and to gain five seats.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
They would tell you the opposite.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
The bottom line is both sides do it, and both
sides are.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
This is just another for me.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
You'll never solve this as long as you have two
party a two party system that was never intended because
they're more about RS and d's and their power than
America and the Big Sea, the Constitution, and that's why
they can't be trusted to draw these. But somebody got
in power with the previous drawing, so it doesn't necessarily
block anyone, although the Democrats certainly have the corner. I'm
(33:54):
blocking out the entire East coast, all right. I will
break down the numbers on the tariffs, who's in who
isn't as it's dealer no deal to time or past
deal or no deal time as of midnight.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael mindel Joo
Like a stool softener for your soul. It's your Morning
Show with Michael del John.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Two three, starting your morning off right, a new way
of talk, a new way of understanding, because we're in
this together.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
This is your Morning Show with michael'dell John.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
I've been called a lot of things, but never thatt Uh.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
That's right up there.
Speaker 5 (00:29):
But that's Friday, right, are you?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Sarian?
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Maybe it wasn't a good idea to have our listeners
write some letters for Mike. We caan't, after all, seven
minutes after the hour. Oh clink, it's Thursday, August, the
seventh year of our Lord, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
I know it.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Seriously, there is just no way to measure time moving
at this speed.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Not only that, I mean that's without sleep. Yeah, and
now we're trying to keep up.
Speaker 6 (00:56):
Yesterday I spent a couple hours trying to track foot
ball of where I could watch football.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Have you been through this lately? Yeah, that's a nightmare.
Good God.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
But I mean, I blink. Here's the Little League World
Series upon US college football.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
College football ready to kick off.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
They're going to wreck them down on my birthday.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
We got Texas, those longhorns. Oh this no wretch. You're
dropping those hints. What do you want? Seriously? What do
you want to party for my birthday? Yeah? You keep
dropping it. Watch it's the buck Is it the buck House?
And you want Red now to take you to a bar?
Is that what you want? What do you want?
Speaker 7 (01:31):
You know?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I don't drink, I know, but you want to go
to the sports bar? You want to go to David
Busters over there at our big mall.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
I don't know, Scottland. Some cotton candy going to be involved?
What am I too old for clowns?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I don't know. You just keep dropping these hints. I
want to make miss come to make me something out
of a balloon. We'll get you a clown, all right,
several of them, all right?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Nine minutes after the hour walking to Thursday August, the
seventh year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
The after midn all the tariffs are going.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
To be so it's deal or no deal time.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
I mean, you might as well get Howie Mandel to
get on the phone with the banker and some of
these countries who haven't cut deals yet, because the Trump
sweeping tariffs are now in effect for everyone who doesn't
have a deal we'll run out who has a deal,
who doesn't. Most, I will say this, most are about
to get really stiffed. I would I think red, would
(02:28):
you cut the chase and say Canada might be the
most significant as the clock struck midnight, doesn't have a deal,
and here it comes up to fifty percent tariffs. I
think we're safe in saying that we had a shooter
at Fort Stewart, Georgia, a sergeant who brought his own gun,
wounded five. He's in custody. The five are being treated rassmusentity.
(02:53):
In our polls, a plenty asked the question is the
American dream alive? I think the American dream? You know,
you got two things today. You get President Trump and
he doesn't. He doesn't want to make the announcement that
he's meeting with Putin next week because it's not a
done deal. He doesn't necessarily feel comfortable saying optimistic because
Putin keeps letting him down. So we just leave it
(03:16):
at hopeful. So I think, you know, I'll use that
train of thought. I think the American people are more
hopeful than ever that the American dream is alive, but
it is still connected to the ability to buy one's
own home, and that has not been solved yet, so
we'll crunch those numbers for you. Also in our polls
of plenty and again, I have no. I don't believe
(03:41):
in the climate. I mean, yes, I believe in climate change.
We go through cycles, but the catastrophic tied to human
beings and CO two global warming, I believe is a hoax.
So I don't buy things based on a hoax. I
don't think you know. I think most of the people
I see driving around where I live are driving electric
because they like it, and it's predominantly alex Tesla. But
(04:06):
I purchased my first ever EV and I love it,
but it has nothing to do with global warming. It
really doesn't have anything. Now I say I didn't purchase
it at least it I don't know that. I don't
know that I could make not that any cars make sense.
They just depreciate, and they're way more expensive than they
should be. Put you start getting into the battery and
(04:28):
battery replacement. I don't know they'd be comfortable owning it,
nor do I think i'd be comfortable having all evs,
in case anything ever happened with electricity. I like the
ability to put some gas in and put my head
down in the pedal to the metal and head for eyeground.
But to have one EV, I'm loving it because I
love the way it drives.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
That's predominantly it.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
But when you think of the government, media hype, manipulation
and push second only to COVID shoving EV down your throat, really,
what a remarkable failure. And when I share the rasmusen,
there's still seven out of ten with no intention of
buying one, and there are certain manufacturers that are going
(05:14):
all EV. Who sits down? You know, It's like when
we were doing Howard Stern yesterday. I'm not gonna sit
here and bash Howard Stern. I would say Howard Stern
would be one of my top five examples of success
by way of uniqueness. Now he has shifted from being
(05:36):
that his audience has now gotten old as he is old.
But when you just look at the shift in technology
and listening patterns, and especially for those under thirty, and
the amount of subscribers that SiriusXM has and him getting
one hundred million dollars a year and whatever else the
cost of the production of that show is, it just
(05:58):
doesn't make any financial sense. How did you get this far?
Howd Cobert get this far? You better expect a lot
more next. But when you look down and you see
seventy percent no plans to buy an EV, and you're.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Going all EV.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
Who fishes to such, I think there's one bash. We
got tons of fish here, here, here, and here, but
I think there's one hanging out over here right now
by that post. Let's take all our fishermen and put
them there. It just doesn't make sense.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
And then you know, I don't I don't know how Mercedes, BMW,
Cadillac others view this, but you know, once you're in
the electric realm, what percentage of that? It's pure tesla.
So I mean some of these things, like this week
has been filled with things that just make no sense.
And it's because people refuse to see reality. They're living
(07:04):
in a false reality or a narrative, and they're running
their businesses based on it. I think I just think
that's a little fascinating. But the American dream, it's tied
to home ownership. We have not solved that problem yet,
but the American dream is coming back alive. As for
the EV dream of the left, it's sputtering along. That's
in our polls of plenty A little bit later on,
(07:31):
you know, you would think I can understand that. You know,
when Vladimir Putin began this exercise and nobody ever aren't
you shocked that nobody ever discusses his motives? What was
he planning to accomp Was it just Ukraine? Was it
(07:52):
just a portion of Ukraine? Was it Ukraine? And keep going?
Now I've looked at the man's life, the totality the
man's life. This is just my opinion, and it's worth
no more than yours. My guess is he's not thrilled.
They're not the Soviet Union. But that's not what he's
trying to reassemble. He's dead set. I'm putting back together
(08:14):
the Russian Empire map, and that's clearly not going to happen.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Now.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
He might have had a shot to finish Ukraine if
he'd have gotten four more years of Biden or of
Kamala Harris. But the minute Trump won, not to mention
the resilience of Ukraine. But now you are sitting you
want to talk about an example of somebody that's living
in a narrative and not reality. You've got a president
(08:43):
in the United States now that doesn't means what he says,
and says what he means, and he's also renegotiating. He's
got all of Europe now paying their fair share. So
the world is united even more so than before. With
a leader Donald Trump with the resources, with the weapons
to continue to support Ukraine, you're not going to win,
(09:05):
let alone move on to anywhere else. And the next
place you move with trip NATO, you're asking for a
world war. You're struggling with Ukraine. I mean, where is
Putin going with this? And he's been given several opportunities
to save face and take an exit ramp and say
whatever he wants at home. I think he's getting one
(09:26):
last chance. So in that sense, I'm optimistic the reality
will set in for Vladimir Putin. I'm hopeful he will
least sit down and talk with President Trump. Now, assuming
this happens, and assuming the sense, how then do you
(09:48):
deny Donald Trump the Nobel Ps Prize. It's like having
a Hall of Fame and Beate Rose isn't in it.
I mean, really, no, shoeless Joe don't beat Rose. So
it'll be interesting to see how that plays out. We
(10:09):
never come at this without a team. And I joke
all the time just for Stick's sake, but I wouldn't
want to do one minute of the show without you,
the listeners. I wouldn't want to do one minute of
the show without Red. I wouldn't want to do one
minute of this show without Jeffrey. And I always say,
Jeffrey's serving you and Red serving us up with content.
You have no idea how much these guys work prior
(10:30):
to us going on the air and do a flawless job.
And then I would never want to do this show
without White House correspondent John Decker President Trumps sweeping global
tariffs going to effect today. John will be reporting from
his Heineken US Open Tennis folding chair just outside the
Oval office. A little bit later on Rory taking a
(10:50):
look at Milwaukee is a place to sell a house?
Las Vegas is the best place to buy a house.
Where are we at with the affordability in housing? And
knowing he doesn't know it yet, how we're going to
tie that to the American dream that reported six Central,
seven o five Eastern becomes more important than ever? And
then will be back in the third hour to discuss
what happened at Fort Stewart, Georgia yesterday in that shooting,
(11:14):
and we'll break down the terraffs as soon as we
come back here in just a few minutes. So there's
a lot going on, but we got a lot of correspondence,
We got a lot of contributors. David Bonson's going to
join us on what's up with the jobs report? Why
was it down or was it rigged? Or what's built
(11:35):
into these things all the time that causes them to
change our money was and economist David Bonson will break
that down and what the impact of those who don't
have a deal yet that are getting higher tariffs may
have on the market in the very near future and
long term for the US economy.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
This is your morning show with Michael.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Use the talkback button, or if you're old fashion, you
can always email me Michael Dee at iHeartMedia dot com.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Hey, we're just waking up. Twenty six minutes after the.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Hour, These off your top nine stories of the day.
President Trump's sweeping tariff slate went into effect at midnight
Eastern time.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Mark Mayfield has.
Speaker 8 (12:18):
More important taxes are going to reach levels not seen
in the country in almost one hundred years, with over
sixty countries and the European Union facing rates of fifteen
percent or more. A wide variety of products will be hit,
ranging from appliances, cars, food, and furniture. In a post
on truth Social just after things went into effect, Trump
said billions of dollars are now flowing into the US.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
A'm Mark Mayfield. Well.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
The woman who was seen punched and hitting the street
in a video from last month's brawl in Cincinnati or
attack I would call it at Cincinnati, says she thought
she was going to die.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Brian Shook has details.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
In a news conference Wednesday with Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno,
the woman known as Holly spoke to reporters, I.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Still am just shocked that I didn't so and so
are my doctors.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Holly is recovering from a concussion, and doctors are concerned
she may have some neurological damage. Six suspects are in
custody and facing charges after the violent assault. City leaders
have indicated that more arrests are possible. I'm Brian Shuck.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
UCLA says that Trump administration has suspended some five hundred
and eighty four million dollars in grants from the school.
Speaker 9 (13:27):
The chancellor of the school says that's nearly double the
amount that was previously expected. UCLA is the first public
university to have federal grants frozen over allegations of civil
rights violations related to anti Semitism. Trump is withheld federal
funding over similar allegations against several Ivy League colleges. UCLA
just reached a six million dollar settlement with three Jewish
students and a Jewish professor for allegedly allowing pro Palestinian
(13:50):
protesters in twenty twenty four to block their access to
the campus. I'm Tammy Truhieo.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Another official in the Biden administration, is scheduled to testify
today in the GOP probe of X President Joe Biden's
mental fitness while in office. Anita Dunn, a former senior
advisor to Biden, previously agreed to a closed door interview,
but it's unknown whether or not she'll plead the fifth
in public. I can't believe Saturday Night Live hasn't jumped
on this, but Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome is the
(14:17):
latest target of South Park.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I'm going down South I'm going to have myself time.
Send me bases everywhere.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
The satirical cartoon has been taking aim with the Trump
administration in its new season that debuted last month. Episode
one brought in the larger share for South Park in
twenty five years and received more social media posts than
any other in the show's history. Episode two aired Wednesday
and featured a cartoon Christy Nome, leading ice raids and
shooting puppies in the street, including Crypto from the Superman movie,
(14:46):
but also featured mar A Lago as a fantasy island,
with President Trump as mister O'Rourke and JD Vance as
his tiny assistant.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I'm markingview.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
We're supposed to be outraged about this, and.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
We're giggling like schoolgirls.
Speaker 10 (15:01):
Hi, this is Jenny Bourne. My morning show is your
Morning Show with Michael gill Jorno.
Speaker 11 (15:12):
Hi, I'm Michael, and your Morning show is heard on
great radio stations across the country like one oh five,
nine twelve fifty w HNZ and Tampa, Florida, News Radio
five seventy wk b N and Youngstown, Ohio and news
Radio one thousand KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have
you listen to us live in the morning. And of
course we're so grateful you came for the podcast. Enjoy,
(15:33):
Rise and Shine, Grab that cup of coffee. Just throw
that leg right over the bed. You'll be up and
shuffling in no time. I know I did it a
couple hours ago. If you're just waking up. President Trump's
sweeping tariffs are in effect. Three NFL preseason games for
you to watch, and five soldiers at a Fort Stewart,
Georgia base were shot by their own sergeant with his
(15:58):
own gun. He is a custody The five are recuperating
in the hospital. Well, what's the big talk this week?
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Jerry mandering to which I'm shaving, And my son comes
up to me and says, well, how they're gonna do
with jerry mandering if it's against the law, And I said, well,
first of all, redistricting is a constitutional necessity. The assumption
that it's being drawn in such a way for advantage
(16:27):
is jerry mandering. Oh and by the way, they all
do it, Well, let's take it right there for one.
Even on Stephen Colbert canceled. Stephen Colbert, he couldn't resist
(16:48):
with Illinois Governor Printzker with him and showing him his
own map.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Listen, if you're considering doing a little more redrawing in Illinois.
You already have some crazy districts in Illinois.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Take a look at this.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Look a look at seventeen here it does that, then
it comes up here in it.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
By the way, if you're not familiar with these district maps,
they can be drawn in such a crazy way as
to craft a voting outcome. Illinois might even be worse,
may be the worst of them all. I mean, it's
just it looks like child drawings.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
And this is all very strategically done. So but what's
the point of this? Okay, So we're supposedly having a
meaningful discussion here. These people in Texas have fled the
legislature to avoid a vote on redistricting to Illinois, where
ILLINOI is one of the most prolific jerry manderers. So
(17:49):
you lose all credibility right there, hiding there, or in Massachusetts,
where they're equally as bad. And then on top of it,
you have these states who have done it in a
far more obvious way than Texas, and they're threatening to redraw. Well,
the laugh is you can't because you couldn't draw it
(18:10):
any crazier or better for you, which is what Stephen
Cobert is putting out to which governor Printzcure just cracks
a joke and laughs, and everybody moves on, sneaks.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Around there and goes all the way up here, and
then goes right over there like that, and look at
look at look at this one kind of goes whip
up there. It's like a stinger on a scorpion down here.
Is this common for all states to do?
Speaker 4 (18:34):
We handed it over to a kindergarten class and let
them decide.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
Okay, that's the non partisan group that does this.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Guy, and that's our independent commission.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
See when they do it, it's funny. That's the bottom line.
I loved. You have the the governor of Maine, among others,
coming forward saying they're being forced to redraw. Here's how
(19:04):
it played out on Fox.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
Some Texas Democrats are now making their way to Massachusetts,
where the governor there was asked about possible redistricting.
Speaker 9 (19:18):
You know, isn't it a sad state of affairs that
that's where we're at?
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Okay, and sad state of affairs that's where we're at.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
When she's already done it.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
You Donald Trump, Greg Abbott, Ken Paxton have left us
no choice.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
That's the reality.
Speaker 8 (19:34):
Reality, as you can see, is that Massachusetts has no
Republican in US House members, no Republican members, there's any.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
State north of New York on.
Speaker 12 (19:44):
The East Coast, despite President Trump winning about forty percent
of the vote across.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
I mean, can you imagine the entire East Coast has
been Jerry manner to block Republicans? How can they with
a straight face? I mean, I guess they unless they're
under the illusion that the media is still you know,
Rabbit Ears and ABC, NBCCBS in Washington Post of New
York Times and Chicago Tribute and get away with these
kinds of things as if we don't know. Can you
(20:12):
imagine that though Michael all of New England has no
US representatives and the only senator is Collins name which
you would argue, yeah, in name only, but yeah, but
I mean, and then and then they're threatening to redraw
what would you would you redraw in some red ones?
But I mean, I you never even said this. But
(20:34):
how dumb do they think we are that we can't
look and see that? Or I mean, there's even Colbert
so far left that he ran off all of his
audience and even he's pointing out. I mean, when you
look at those Illinois districts, there is that is, if
you looked up jerry mandering in the dictionary, that ought
(20:57):
to be the picture that pops up. That's literally connect
dots in whatever direction they have to go, and in
some cases for up to three hour drives in order
to make sure the vote comes out blue.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
And you're the one judging jerrymandering.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
You're the one giving safe haven to those who think
they're victims of jerrymandering in Texas, and they're all threatening
to redraw their lines that are already drawn because you
did him long before Donald Trump was president, and now
you're blaming Donald Trump that you've been put in this position.
I use the expression that my dad always used, and
(21:34):
I leave it short at bigger than a giraffe, but
oh my, bigger than a giraffe. But like everything else,
it's I'm sitting there shaving with my son. Well, it
is something serious to talk about. Now, censuses come out
(21:57):
and populations change and districts need to be redrawn. I
get that, But jerry mandering as a practice is worth discussing,
it's worth solving and stopping. And here it comes forward
like it always does in narrative form, and goes nowhere,
(22:19):
and it really does stink to high heaven. If your
goal is a representative, constitutional republic. But we never have
meaningful conversations. We have shirts and skins, he says, She says,
but this one. I mean, if you're going to play
(22:43):
this stunt sit down with your members of the legislature
saying we'll go anywhere but Massachusetts, Illinois, or Maine, which
is exactly where they go and exactly where the governors
are doing all they're talking. Well, this is unfortunate we've
been put in this position, but this is where we're at.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
We're gonna have to do it.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Really, you've jerry mannered the entire freaking East coast, and
we can put the maps up on the screen. Goose
mean gander, Gander, say helloed Goose. All right, I think
(23:26):
I don't need to beat this dead horse any longer,
do I? Forty three minutes after the hour for just
waking up, these are your top five stories of the day. Well,
President Trump is optimistically hopeful that he's been let down
before and not capable of confirming yet.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
An upcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin next week.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
Speaking from the White House, Trump said his US envoy
had good talks with Putin this week and was asked
if there was a breakthrough.
Speaker 12 (23:52):
I don't call it a breakthrough. I mean we've been
working under this a long time. There are thousands of
young people dying, mostly soldiers, but also well you know,
misso's being hit into Kiev and other places.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
Trump then started to say there's a good chance we
could be ending, then pause and added, ending the round,
ending the road. Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with what
he calls Putin's inaction toward any sort of seasfire deal.
He gave Russia until Friday to agree to a seasfire
or he would place sanctions against them.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
By Mark Neefield, speaking to President Trump yesterday, was joined
by Apple CEO Tim Cook at the White House.
Speaker 12 (24:24):
Today, Apple is announcing that it will invest six hundred
billion dollars this.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
With a B and parts of those investments include new
facilities in Texas, Arizona, Utah, New York, and about a
bee more than was expected.
Speaker 12 (24:39):
That's one hundred billion dollars more than they were originally
going to invest.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Another one of those officials in the Biden administration scheduled
to testify today in the fitness of the former ex
president Joe Biden and need A Dunn, who is the
former senior advisor to Biden. Now, She, like a couple
of others, had previously agreed to testif behind closed doors.
This won't be behind closed doors, so it's unknown as
to whether or not she will plead.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
The fifth.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Jack Osborne, son of Ozzy Osborne, is breaking his silence
on the.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Death of his father.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
The late Black Sabbath singer died on July twenty second
due to a heart attack, and Jack shared a tribute
to Ozzy on social media in the wake of his death.
When writing about his father, Jack said I got fourteen thousand,
five hundred one days with that man, and I know
that is such a blessing and added that the rocker
lived his life fully.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Hamilton is headed to the big screen. No, they didn't
take the time to actually make a new movie. It's
a performance featuring the Broadway Musicals original cast. It was
recorded in twenty sixteen. It will hit the theaters on
September the fifth. It first dropped on Disney Plus in
twenty twenty during COVID, and that kind of forced them
to cancel the theatrical in cinema release. So now the
(25:59):
Disney Plus special that was nominated for twelve Emmys and
winning two is head the theaters is part of the
musical's tenth anniversary. I gotta say, some Hamilton, this is
going to alienate me. And I know I always do this,
and why don't you just keep my mouth shut? Nobody
has to know, Like Sanati sits me down. I'm in Cleveland,
Oh yeah, you got to see this, And I'm like
Larry David Man, I'm like bobbing for apples, nodding off
(26:20):
in like five sod.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I mean, I just don't get it.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
And there's just there's two reactions, and there'll be something
that agree with me, and there'll be someone go, you're nuts, man,
that was just the greatest. But I notice people have
two reactions. You either don't get it, or you love it,
or you're not a lover of the theater. No, I
am okay, and uh you know, my gosh, I would
think Phantom of the Opera Jekyl and Hyde are two
(26:44):
of my all time favorites.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
So I get musicals. I just didn't get that one.
I don't know. I don't know why, but I can
tell you this.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
I don't respond well to rap music like I can
listen to a symphony. I can listen to New Orleans jazz.
I mean, I go from Lyle Lovett to Garth Brooks
to Boston to Doubi Brother.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
I mean, I'm pretty diverse.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
I just but I don't get and it is kind
of wrapped throughout obviously.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
OK So maybe that's just why do you know?
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Today is National Sea Serpent Day, celebrating the first known
sighting of a snake like creature in the ocean, which
happened back in eighteen forty eight.
Speaker 10 (27:25):
That serpent was the dentalus in the South Atlantic. There
are sea serpent sightings in every ocean in the world.
Canada has Ogopogo, Scotland the Lochness Monster, there's one in
Japan with eight tails, and don't forget the kraken. But
there's no scientific evidence proving they actually exist because the
government will not fund searches, which means they don't exist,
(27:48):
or they do. I'm pre tennis.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I have an ox A Lottel three rooms down.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
In sports, today we got three NFL preseason games Colts

four to the Twins. Cardinals beat the Dodgers five to three.

Jalen Hurts twenty seven Charlie's Theron, which, by the way,
if you've never seen the movie Long Shot with seth Rogen,
I highly recommend it. Hey, she's terrific, but it's just
a fun script and it may be seth Rogen's best
(28:36):
performance ever. Really charming and chanting movie and funny. Charlie's

This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Jna.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Jeffrey keeping an eye on the content or Jeffrey keeping
the music flowing, and Red keeping an eye on the
content content. Rech just said to me something off the air.
And again, I don't remember. I wasn't that conscious of
it when I was young, But Red said, don't you
remember when we were younger? Pretty much the districts were
drawn by counties and again and go back to the
(31:27):
big picture. And whenever my son comes to me and
I'm forced to explain something, it really gives me the
right perspective.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
All right.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
So, like let's say you said, you're thinking to yourself, well,
why don't we just take the five districts and as
the population changes, just the number of people and whatever
those districts are already at just grows. Well, that's not
the way the founding fathers wanted the populace to be represented.
So if and that's what tends to happen, like I
(31:56):
can tell you I live in Nashville, Metro, Glynn, Brentwood, Nashville, Gallaton, Hendersonville, Milt, Juliet.
That's where everybody's moving. So the state is growing, but
it's all growing in the same spot. The Memphis are
isn't growing like Middle Tennessee is, and Eastern Tennessee isn't
(32:17):
growing at all like Middle Tennessee is. So you have
to redraw or you don't have the representation. Remember the Senate,
everybody has two because we're the United States of America,
and you send the same amount of people from each
of the states to protect the state's rights. But the
populace was to be represented in the People's House. And
(32:39):
so if you have more people living in this state,
then that state, well, then the state with more people
has more members of the United States House of Representatives.
But then once people grow in that state, you got
to redraw the lines because they're usually going to the
same areas and that's where you start drawing. But the drawings,
(33:00):
like Stephen Colbert revealed that the Governor of Illinois just
laughing at that's jerry mandering. And I know that there
are some that would say, well, Texas is certainly, or
at least this is the narrative of the left. Anyway,
they're trying to redraw it, you know, to keep the
state red and to gain five seats.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
They would tell you the opposite.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
The bottom line is both sides do it, and both
sides are.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
This is just another for me.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
You'll never solve this as long as you have two
party a two party system that was never intended because
they're more about RS and d's and their power than
America and the Big Sea, the Constitution, and that's why
they can't be trusted to draw these. But somebody got
in power with the previous drawing, so it doesn't necessarily
block anyone, although the Democrats certainly have the corner. I'm
(33:54):
blocking out the entire East coast, all right. I will
break down the numbers on the tariffs, who's in who
isn't as it's dealer no deal to time or past
deal or no deal time as of midnight.
