Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael del jno and your morning show can
be heard live as it's happening five to eight am
Central and six to nine Eastern on great stations like
six twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or Akrons, News Talk
six forty WHLO and Akron, Ohio and News Radio five
seventy WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a
part of your morning routine, but we're glad you're here now.
(00:21):
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
This is your morning show with Michael Bill Jarman.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
And just like that, it is Tuesday, July the seventh
of en Roll twenty twenty six on the Aaron streaming
live on your iHeartRadio app. This is the show that
belongs to you. This is your morning show, and honor
to serve you. I'm Michael del Jorno. Seven minutes after
the hour, NATO leaders gather in Turkey this week for
a summit as the Trump administration continues to scrutinize the
(00:56):
Transatlantic Alliance. We'll get analysis from our Lieutenant Colonel James
Carafano coming up in the third hour. Our White House
correspondent John Decker is in Turkey, and we'll have a
preview of the NATO leaders gathering coming up in the
second hour. Hamas says it will hand over the governance
of the Gaza Strip to a US backed interim administration.
(01:21):
We haven't talked about it. Therefore, everybody has moved on,
but the tragedy hasn't. The death toll in Venezuela after
twin earthquakes is now more than thirty five hundred, and
I will, in full disclosure admit it was I was
the designated survivor last night, assigned to secure a quarter
final entrance for the United States. Unfortunately, Team USA's World
(01:45):
Cup run is over at the round of sixteen, losing
four to one to Belgium. Know what they were just,
I mean from the start to finish dominated. They did
respond and tie the game one to one, but easy
goals for Belgium just didn't seem on all night long
(02:07):
Team USA.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
So that's it. And I think we've been to.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
The round of sixteen before, right, so we've hit our
ceiling that we can't seem to get above a quarterfinal
now there's a lot of people saying this team has
and again, is it the team? Is it the hosting?
But they've done a lot to boost interest and enthusiasm,
but the cream is coming to the crop at the
(02:33):
top as we get to the quarterfinals. I don't know,
have either of you watched any other games other than
the US. I've watched some Argentina, Yeah, I mean Argentina's strong.
They had that near miss. Spain is really good. England
and Brazil was good. Norway is good. Yeah, Norway they
got that one. They got that one player who's so dominant.
(02:56):
I don't know why I keep coming back to Spain,
but we'll see the Spain Bell Jim will be the
next matchup in the quarterfinals, all right. And then the
big news of the day is for Graham Platner. Another
woman has come forward, this time claiming rape. So now
you've got that Nazi tattoos, the online posts, the women
coming forward. Is this the end of Graham Platner in Maine?
(03:21):
Now the voters will have the ultimate say in that,
but the party has days to make a decision. I
thought it was interesting. Now for Graham Platner, he denies everything,
as he has all along, but he did say this,
which I found very interesting.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Listen, So regardless of the inaccuracy of the reporting, but
mindful the political reality will inflect. We are taking the
time to reflect on the best path forward for the
state that I love, the people that I love, the
movement I belong to, and the goal of defeating Susan Collins.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
So that sounds an awful lot like somebody who is
open to leaving but hasn't closed the door yet. Democrats
are beginning to distance themselves. Fetterman, I thought, by far
(04:15):
probably expressed.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Well.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
And and Scott Jennings, I think they're the bookends of
describing this.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Right.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Here's Fetterman, basically in a party that used to represent me, too, right,
saying the focus should be on this woman who was
raped and the courage it took to come forward.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
But this guy has got to go.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
And what I liked about what Scott Jennings said was
Scott just kind of calls it just like it is.
This guy was vetted. They knew this about him. Democrats
wanted distance from it.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Listen, he was.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Vetted, people knew all these things, and a whole bunch
of Democrats in Maine showed up and voted for him anyway,
and a bunch of donors from around the country sent
him money.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Anyway. I agree with Alyssa's question.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
What changed? Why are you bailing on grand Platner? Now
you already signed off on Nazi tattoo, a self described communist,
somebody who's had raped fantasies, somebody who has been on
a social media platform known as a playground for predators.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
And on and on and on and on and on.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
And the difference between this accuser and the previous one
is simply this.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
She's a liberal. It's okay, I.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Guess for Democrats that their candidates assault conservatives. But he
broke into someone's house and apparently, according to her, raped her,
and because her politics are correct, they could now believe it.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Yeah, the ending not so much.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I mean, that's a lot of speculation as to what
the Democrat motives are. I don't I have compared Graham
Platner to the movie The Campaign, which, if you've never seen,
a very funny movie with Will Ferrell, Zach califan Akis,
maybe Zach gallifan Akus his best performance by far, But anyway,
(06:17):
the concept is, what would a guy have to do
to be unelectable and this day and age. I mean,
if you can have oral sex in the Oval office
with an intern and nothing happened, I mean, you know, basically,
what would you have to do.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Now?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
In the movie, they take it to the you know.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
First he accidentally punches a dog, then he punches a baby,
then he gets pulled over by the police drunk driving,
then races off.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
In the police car.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I mean it gets all the way to the end
or where he literally has sex with his opponent's wife
and uses it in his campaign. At That's how it's
been with Graham Platina all along, right, So, I mean
there's part of you that wakes up this morning and goes, well,
why would this be the.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Straw that breaks the camel's back.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I mean, that's how Scott Jennings arrives at Well, maybe
it's because she's a liberal, he raved one of their own,
but the takeaway, the lesson is, and we're seeing this
with Chevalier as well. I mean Chevalier, all of her
ex posts are all coming back to haunt her, and
(07:34):
none of this matters to any of the socialist Democrats.
They are laser focused on again taking control of the
Democrat Party getting rid of the electoral college, dismantling the Republic.
So that's a voter block that doesn't care at all
about character at all. I mean to go back to
(07:55):
the analogy of the movie the campaign. I think you
could do anything. I think you could have somebody on
camera murdering someone and to be fine to move forward.
But what about what's left of the Democrat Party? Would
they rather an R who's more like a D or
(08:17):
the old D or stand by this flawed man to
get an S? Is that all that matters?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Winning? Or the ultimate agenda?
Speaker 7 (08:33):
Now?
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Never mind in the media, I mean, they can't ignore
Graham Platner, but they can ignore the messages of Medicare
for all. It's already insolvent. Where's that coming from? Kind
of like we did with mom. Donnie made him a darling,
made him a darling, made him a darling, and then
you know, every now and then you'd hear a hint
of well, how would you pay for all this? Or
(08:57):
he doesn't have the control of that budget, have to
get that from the governor. And she's campaigning on just
the opposite. How is this going to work? Ah, doesn't matter.
Get the d and move on, and then what you
really get is an s. So the biggest question of
the day is another woman has come forward, this time
claiming rape. Does this make Graham Plattner go And you
(09:18):
heard his explanation, of course, complete denial, but it's giving
him time to pause. So it sounds like somebody who's
thinking about going away finally, and there's many Democrats urging
him to do just that.
Speaker 8 (09:35):
Do you know, Michael, that all of the candidates in
Maine now have their campaigns on pause. The governor who
was going to run for Senate put her campaign on pause.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Hey, I think I think somebody gonna put main voters
on pause and give him a second to look in
the mirror and figure things out. So well, you know,
we'll have the latest on that as well, and a
lot of the reaction. But as far as it goes,
we're all waiting to see what grand Plantner does. They
have How long do they have to insert a new candidate?
(10:08):
I mean they're they're down to day thirteenth, the thirteenth, Yeah,
so they're down to six days to make a move. So,
you know, here's a party at war with itself, with
a crisis on the battlefield, who gets involved, who helps
make this decision at least for the denial followed by
we're going to pause.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
It looks as though even Graham sees the writing on
the wall.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
That's just some of what is defining what Tuesday, July
the seventh, twenty twenty sixth will look like. We'll cover
it all, and we're going to surround ourselves with a
lot of really smart people. Roy and you'll have the
latest time the Grand Platner situation, as well as Team
USA losing. John Decker is in Turkey for the NATO summit,
and we'll report. We'll get analysis from Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano,
(10:56):
and more so, Missili, you'll miss a lot, miss a lot,
and we will miss you. Life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness. Those words weren't just written in history books.
They were written for you.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
Now.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
It's hard to pursue happiness when pain is a part
of everyday life. Relief Factor was created to help people
address inflammation. It's one of the most common causes of
ongoing aches and pains, whether it's from aging, over exertion,
or just daily living. It's one hundred percent drug free,
research based formula. It works through multiple metabolic pathways. It
(11:29):
helps support comfort and mobility. No prescription, no masking symptoms,
just real relief so you can move forward. Mine, the
pain had gone from my back and into my hands.
That was the end of golf, and Relief Factor has
me golfing again. As America celebrates its two hundred and
(11:50):
fiftieth birthday of Independence, how about claiming your independence from pain?
And it's not too late. I know it's July seventh,
but we still have patriotic pricing. Seventeen seven six seventeen
dollars and seventy six cents is going to get you
the three week quick start for Relief Factor. That's enough
time for you to feel the difference, because freedom just
(12:11):
feels better without pain. Seventeen dollars seventy six cents, three
week quick start of Relief Factor. Visit relief Factor dot
com or call one eight hundred four Relief one eight
hundred the number four Relief or online at relief Factor
dot com.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 9 (12:31):
Hey, mykeee, we haven't had a joke in a while,
so let's give it a go.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Buddy.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
Why are koalas not really considered bears too.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Why because they don't meet the kualifications, A saying eleventh day,
Now I know why we haven't had.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
A joke in a while. A twenty five minutes after
the out, you're just waking up. Here are the things
you need to know.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
In addition to your joke of the day, President Trump
says the US would either make a deal with Iran
or finish the job. Second verse, same as the fur
We've heard this before, haven't waymore from Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 9 (13:11):
Trump made the warning while speaking to reporters from the
Oval Office on Monday.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
It won't be tough to finish your job.
Speaker 9 (13:18):
I'd rather make a deal because I don't want to
affect ninety one million people. He also reiterated that Iran
cannot have a nuclear weapon. Peace talks between the countries
aren't set to resume after the funeral where Iran Supreme Leader.
The ceremonies are being held nearly four months after he
was killed in a US Israeli airstrength.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
A Mark Mayfield main Senate candidate Graham Plattner is taking
time to reflect after a sexual assault allegation was made
against him in a video.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
On social media.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Monday, he addressed a report by Politico that a woman
who dated Platner accused him of forcing her to have
sex with him almost five years ago despite repeated objections.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Regardless of the inaccuracy of the reporting, but mindful of
political reality will inflict, we are taking the time to
reflect on the best path forward for the state that
I love, the people that I love, the movement I
belonged to, and the goal of defeating Susan Collins.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
And six days for the Democrat Party to decide whether
or not to replace him. The Department of Government Efficiency
DOGE has officially been shut down.
Speaker 10 (14:20):
The final social media post from the agency was published
over the weekend. The posts said the formal mission of
DOGE may have come to an end, but that the
mission to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in government would continue.
The agency was established by an executive order by President
Trump just hours after he was sworn in for his
second term. Under the leadership of billionaire Elon Musk. The
(14:41):
agency recommended the elimination of thousands of federal jobs, contracts,
and grants. The full impact of DOGE may never be known,
as administration officials say there are no plans to issue
a report on the agency's actions. I'm Tammy TRHILLO.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Well, the US's World Cup run is over. The team
crashed out in the round of sixteen against Belgia four
to one last night, losing in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Scott Carr has details.
Speaker 11 (15:03):
The American team gave up a goal less than ten
minutes into the match, though Malie Tillman scored his second
free kick of the tournament to tie things up in
the thirty first minute. The US then allowed a goal
just sixty one seconds afterward, and a horrible misplay by
goalkeeper Matt Freeze spotted Belgium at three to one lead,
effectively ending the game. The US still hasn't made the
(15:24):
quarterfinals of the World Cup since two thousand and two.
I'm Scott Carr.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
We talked a little bit yesterday about the gift bag
that everybody that attended Taylor Swift in Travis Kelsey's wedding got.
Liz Warner looks inside the bag at exactly what they got.
Speaker 12 (15:39):
Attendees were seen holding various personalized keepsakes as they exited
the venue. The celebration also reportedly featured some special raffle items.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Guest told NBC they.
Speaker 12 (15:48):
Could win Raffle tickets by playing a variety of games
that have been set up. Raffle prizes included some very
elegant items, among them wristwatches from Cartier, whose luxury time
pieces are a mainstay for tailor designer. Handbags and other
signature couchure also made the Raffle, but the most coveted
prize appears to have been the nineteen seventy Chevrolet Chevelle.
(16:10):
It is the same model of the classic the Travis drove.
As the two were seen embarking on their first date
in New York.
Speaker 10 (16:16):
I'm Liz Warner.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
It's like a marketing wedding, not a real bizarre Americans
are living longer, and new federal data suggests life expectancy
may be at an all time high. Monica Nelson reports in.
Speaker 13 (16:31):
CDC data shows the US death rate fell to a
record low in twenty twenty five, down nearly five percent
from the year before. Life expectancy was already seventy nine
years in twenty twenty four, and is expected to rise
to a new record when final twenty twenty five figures
are released later this year. If you were overdose and
COVID related deaths did help drive the improvement, although heart
(16:52):
disease and cancer remain the nation's leading causes of death.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
On Monica Nelson, Hey.
Speaker 12 (16:59):
This is Top Cop Kathy Hinters and my morning show
is your Morning show with Michael Dale Jorno.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Hey, gang, it's me Michael. You can listen to your
morning show live. Make us a part of your morning
routine or your drive to work companion on great stations
like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and fifteen ten
WLAC in Nashville, Tupelos News and Talk one oh one
point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk
six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love to have you
(17:31):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the podcast.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Enjoy the early bird gets the worm. Sleepy squirrel always
misses the nut. As my son always says.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
What's that mean? Dead? That's up? Literal from a time
gone by.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Good morning, and welcome to Tuesday, July the seventy of
Our Lord, twenty twenty six. We welcome k FR AM
five eighty and ninety five point nine FM in Lubbock, Texas,
the station that listens to Lubbick. Welcome to the your
morning show, kitchen table, make yourself at home. You can
always email Michael di at iHeartMedia dot com. Or if
(18:05):
you're listening on the iHeartRadio app, you'll see a little microphone.
That's the talkback. You don't have to rot on hold anymore.
Your time is too valuable. You simply press that button.
It professionally counts you down three to two to one,
gives you as many takes as you need, and gives
you up to thirty seconds to make a comment or
ask a question or maybe wax poetically like Steve in
(18:26):
Oklahoma City.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
Democrats stuck by their man through tattoos and texts from
his hand.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Character doesn't matter.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
They cheer, chirp, and chatter till rape allegations hit the fan.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
He is our chief pupologist, poetologist. Let's go to Youngstown,
Ohio next.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Hey, Michael, the only problem is a lot of times
with these candidates, when they drop out, all their legal
problems go away. Hopefully, if he drops out, they still
go after him for whatever he's done.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Yeah, we're way ahead of you on that. We did
the research. Statute of limitations on rape in the state
of Maine is ten years. I believe for the criminal
and then civil six right twenty years for criminals. Well,
either way, if this woman coming forward is telling the
(19:20):
truth and she's ready to pursue charges, it would certainly
be up to her. But it's within the statute of
limitations both civil and criminally. But you're right, sometimes it's
just a political weapon rather than justice, that's the goal,
Big John on the odds, I would presume we're going
to go to our chief Pookie.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
A quick check at the betting markets for Platner.
Speaker 8 (19:42):
They got them dropping out by July tenth, seventy seven percent.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Book.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Yeah, I would think Friday would be the day, right,
and then give them the weekend and Monday to announce
the replacement. Again, you're looking at a short run way,
kind of like what Kamala Harris complained about. I think
for all of us waking up the challenges, why does
it take this, you know, going back to what Scott
Jennings said, they knew what they had in Graham Platner.
(20:10):
They vetted him and didn't care. They didn't care about
the Nazi tattoos, they didn't care about the online post.
They knew there was gonna be problems with women. All
of it played out just like a vet would have
suggested it would have. And you're going to play it
right out to the final day, literally within seventy two
hours of a replacement candidate.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
And is that enough time? But what about what they
stand for?
Speaker 4 (20:42):
I mean, rape is a serious allegation and if true,
you know, but what about what they stand for, what
they planned to do? Give an example all of these candidates,
when you're talking about Chevalier or Platner Axio story, Democratic
socialists give new life to medicare for all. I mean,
(21:06):
apparently you can just pander anything. I should just run
for United States Congress on the platform I'll give everybody
my district a million dollars, even though I don't have
a million dollars to give everybody in the district, and
our country's forty trillion dollars in debt, this particular entitlement
program is already insolvent now again kind of like when
(21:30):
Obamacare was created, it was never seriously introduced to ensure
everyone because most who didn't want insurance chose not to
have it. Now, if you'll give it to them for free,
they'll take it the minute you stop giving it to
(21:50):
them for free. You're right back to I'm twenty six
years old, I'm healthy, I am paying for insurance.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
Now.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
The biggest problem was, remember the stated problem was there
are people dying in alleys with flies around their eyes
and the richest country.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
That just simply wasn't true. People would go into emergency rooms.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Get care and not pay, and then the cost of
them not paying was passed on to those who were
so all they were trying to do was transfer that
money into premiums rather than a checkout. But if you
(22:32):
start creating a pool of the poorest and sickest people
who can't afford insurance, there's no way you can lower premiums.
That's actuary one oh one. So it was a lie
on its face. It was never going to ensure everyone's
sure A SEK, wasn't going to lower premiums, and it
(22:54):
was never going to increase care because no one was
being denied care, they just weren't paying.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
So if it was.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Never designed to actually solve anything, what was it designed
to do?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Crash it?
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Why would you want to crack because then all that's
left is the option of a government healthcare system for all.
They're playing political games with the solvency and prosperity of
America already forty tree dollars in debt. So what is
this Socialist democrats decign. Well, they know there's not money
(23:30):
for Medicare for all, but if they can destroy it, well,
it's a I never watched sci fi, but like in
old Star Wars movie, these big giant ships and you
see a missile hit, it just kind of goes in
one part of it and weakens it.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
That's all it's designed.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
To do, Medicare for all, like it's a solvent thing,
it's not. And if government was the answer for anything
medical see Obamacare. But that's not stopping democratic socialists or
(24:11):
progressives or their success in this primary process. That's where
grand Platiner becomes kind of like a like a footnote
an analogy. Right, there's nothing reasonable about their platform. There's
nothing reasonable about what they're proposing, and no one even
(24:34):
addresses that you gotta have a shwastika women coming forward
for that to even hit the radar. In other words,
there's something there's something more broken this equation than even
Graham Platinir. But you've got the affordability theme, you've got
(25:00):
the healthcare frustration widespread in America. It's easy to blame
big pharma, or rich hospitals or rich people.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
We kind of cut to chase with all of this
by saying, this is really a gospel of envy, and
it only even has its stay in the sun because
you're rejecting the actual gospel.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
They have no use for God, they have no use
or ability to self govern, So you just turned to this.
Speaker 8 (25:49):
Newt.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Gingrich explains it this way. You are watching the death
of America's oldest party. Now, I gotta be honest with you.
I'm not playing shirts and skins here because I wouldn't
mid see both parties go. Why, because both these parties
have a stranglehold they were never meant to have. People
aren't American anymore. They're either red or blue shirts or skins.
(26:12):
Good guys are bad guys. And there's derangement on both sides.
Quite frankly, nothing like we've seen with Trump de arrangement,
but there's de arrangement on both sides. And the sooner
they're both gone and American citizens understand what our intent was,
the self governing gift they've been given.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
The better.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
But you are watching what appears to be the first
to die the Democrat Party. Now, we've been talking about
this for over a decade. I said at the beginning
of this decade, one or both to be gone by
the end of the decade. I still believe one's definitely
going to be gone, possibly two. And everything on the
radar looks like it's the Democrats first. Because if nothing
(27:00):
stops these socialists, well, the parasite defeats the host, and
the host dies and the parasite dies with it. That
leaves just the handoff of trump Ism and the future
of the Republican Party to play out by the end
of the decade. That'll be more featured in the twenty
twenty eight election. It's interesting in building this all up
(27:22):
to say this, is it possible that this midterm is
not going to be or even if it is a
victory for the Democrats, even on the House side, Let's
say the midterms could define the death of the Democrat
Party and the twenty twenty eight presidential election could determine
whether the Republican Party dies. That could kind of be
(27:47):
playing out in real time. Again, life is best understood
looking back, unfortunately, has to be lived looking forward. Yesterday,
we talked to great length about what America is finally
figuring out about co it. But you should have been
figuring that out in real time. Real time's harder. But
there are a lot of clues to kick around. I'm
(28:08):
seeing it taking shape as midterms, no matter how they result,
could cost the Democratics party forever for our time in
old time, something to keep an eye on. So in
that sense, the grand Platner story is a little bit bigger.
But there are other stories even today, Mom Donnie standing
(28:31):
behind a former campaign worker. I mean, everything about Chevali
is coming out. It's a drip, drip, drip as bad
as Platiner. I mean, she's a cop hater, America hater.
She wipes her hands with the American flag. I don't
(28:53):
have to even bring back up the weirdness of that
fourth of July address with his backward desk against a
fireplace with a wall of dead eyes, joyless people mostly
in head coverings, all carrying flags. You can tell they're
like repelled, just holding as he delivers a two hundred
(29:17):
and fiftieth American Birthday address on how awful America is.
I mean, Red said it immediately. I can't wait to
see what his nine to eleven address is. Oh, I can,
and it's coming. But there is a blessing in how
(29:41):
bold they are. Some things must be defeated. Some things
reveal and defeat themselves. This is the latter. This is
so antithetical to.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Who we are.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
You shouldn't need Graham Plattner to decide. Voters should be
able to handle this. As America turning two fifty a
time of celebration or condemnation, the American voters should be
able to decide that butt your top story waking up,
(30:18):
another woman has come forward claiming she was raped. He's
put his campaign on pause. Many believe he'll be gone
by Friday. That is the top story of the day.
Death told in last months. Venezuela and earthquakes now tops
thirty five hundred, not one, not two, not three. But
your top five stories of the day are coming up next.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
It's your Morning show with Michael del Jorno, the Morning Lighter.
Speaker 14 (30:41):
I appreciate how you call balls and strikes and you
call out each side for the things that they do wrong.
I'm curious how you reconcile. You know what you're saying
about Platner and what they knew about him and how
they vetted him anyway and went along and push him
through with the things that we were hearing about Trump,
and you know, the accusations against him concerning women in
the actual against him concerning racism.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Thanks Mike, appreciate, appreciate the Cauklan. Well, for one, Donald
Trump was vetted, Donald Trump was attacked by his own party,
and one in spite of that, see his treatment in
the first presidential debate on Fox with Megan Kelly. So
everyone knew all of that. Now, having said that the
(31:26):
president was never accused of rape, well he's been accused
of it, but I mean he's never has never been proven.
We know he had two failed marriages. We know he
committed adultery and at least one or both of the
failed marriages and is on his third. We know what
he said to Billy Bush. So nobody thought that Donald
Trump was a monk by any stretch of the imagination.
(31:51):
But I think what you're bringing up is the valid
point of the frustration within the Republican Party of those
who talked a good game and never delivered. And again
I'm the only one that ever says this, but I
stand by it. I mean, I guess I could be
wrong because no one else is saying it, but I
feel pretty strongly about it. Donald Trump exists because of
(32:12):
the way the Republican Party handled the Tea Party movement.
They just absorbed it and ignored the agenda that was
a grassroots, organically risen up movement against out a control
size of government and spending and the debt. Nobody talks
about the debt. They're all responsible for it, and they
(32:35):
all run for office like it never happened. And then
Donald Trump. That created the way. If they would have
just not absorbed the Tea Party, that movement would have
continued and we addressed debt, there would have never been
the lane for Donald Trump to enter. So that frustration
of the death of the Tea Party movement created the
(32:58):
void for Donald Trump, who walked right down that. So
you're right to instinctively say, well, okay, in the case
of Grand Platner, you've got to add anti American, probably
anti Semitic, don't you think, and actual felony allegations. But
(33:24):
he's walking through that same void that's created on the
far left. These young people have been told by their
educators K through twelve the intelligency at universities, their textbooks,
history channel documentaries, and every news source they watch other
(33:45):
than Fox, how awful America is, and they'll buy anything
from anyone, no matter what the question is with grand Platner,
are we at No matter.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
What I think de Niro's turned on him on Platner's Anazi,
Yes he is. I don't know if that's no that
he was talking about total Trump that wasn't sure.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
Democrats are starting to distance themselves, though, from the main
Senate candidate, Graham Plattner, after sexual allegations of rape have
come forward.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Mark Mayfield has our top story.
Speaker 9 (34:18):
In a report by Politico, a woman who dated Platner
accused him of forcing her to have sex with him
almost five years ago. Despite repeated objections, Congressman Roe Conna
of California and Senator Reuben Diego of Arizona announced that
they are withdrawing their endorsements, with commissaying Plattner should drop
out of the race. Platner has denied the new allegation,
but in a video, he said he's taking time to
(34:40):
reflect on the best.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Path forward with his candidacy.
Speaker 9 (34:43):
The battle, Platner has faced many questions about his past conduct,
including claims he had a tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol
he later covered up, as well as.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
One woman alleging physical abuse. I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
President Trump says the US will either make a deal
with Iron or they will finish the job. We've heard
that chestnut before. NATO leaders will gather in Turkey or
do you say Turke that summit. We'll have a live
report from John Decker from Turkey coming up next half hour,
and get analysis in the third hour from our Lieutenant
(35:14):
Colonel James Carafinal. The death toll in Venezuela after the
twin earthquakes is now up to over thirty five hundred
and the United States World Cup run is over, losing
four to one to Belgium last night in World Cup
soccer action in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael nhild Jorno.
Hi, I'm Michael del jno and your morning show can
be heard live as it's happening five to eight am
Central and six to nine Eastern on great stations like
six twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or Akrons, News Talk
six forty WHLO and Akron, Ohio and News Radio five
seventy WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a
part of your morning routine, but we're glad you're here now.
(00:21):
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
This is your morning show with Michael Bill Jarman.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
And just like that, it is Tuesday, July the seventh
of en Roll twenty twenty six on the Aaron streaming
live on your iHeartRadio app. This is the show that
belongs to you. This is your morning show, and honor
to serve you. I'm Michael del Jorno. Seven minutes after
the hour, NATO leaders gather in Turkey this week for
a summit as the Trump administration continues to scrutinize the
(00:56):
Transatlantic Alliance. We'll get analysis from our Lieutenant Colonel James
Carafano coming up in the third hour. Our White House
correspondent John Decker is in Turkey, and we'll have a
preview of the NATO leaders gathering coming up in the
second hour. Hamas says it will hand over the governance
of the Gaza Strip to a US backed interim administration.
(01:21):
We haven't talked about it. Therefore, everybody has moved on,
but the tragedy hasn't. The death toll in Venezuela after
twin earthquakes is now more than thirty five hundred, and
I will, in full disclosure admit it was I was
the designated survivor last night, assigned to secure a quarter
final entrance for the United States. Unfortunately, Team USA's World
(01:45):
Cup run is over at the round of sixteen, losing
four to one to Belgium. Know what they were just,
I mean from the start to finish dominated. They did
respond and tie the game one to one, but easy
goals for Belgium just didn't seem on all night long
(02:07):
Team USA.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
So that's it. And I think we've been to.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
The round of sixteen before, right, so we've hit our
ceiling that we can't seem to get above a quarterfinal
now there's a lot of people saying this team has
and again, is it the team? Is it the hosting?
But they've done a lot to boost interest and enthusiasm,
but the cream is coming to the crop at the
(02:33):
top as we get to the quarterfinals. I don't know,
have either of you watched any other games other than
the US. I've watched some Argentina, Yeah, I mean Argentina's strong.
They had that near miss. Spain is really good. England
and Brazil was good. Norway is good. Yeah, Norway they
got that one. They got that one player who's so dominant.
(02:56):
I don't know why I keep coming back to Spain,
but we'll see the Spain Bell Jim will be the
next matchup in the quarterfinals, all right. And then the
big news of the day is for Graham Platner. Another
woman has come forward, this time claiming rape. So now
you've got that Nazi tattoos, the online posts, the women
coming forward. Is this the end of Graham Platner in Maine?
(03:21):
Now the voters will have the ultimate say in that,
but the party has days to make a decision. I
thought it was interesting. Now for Graham Platner, he denies everything,
as he has all along, but he did say this,
which I found very interesting.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Listen, So regardless of the inaccuracy of the reporting, but
mindful the political reality will inflect. We are taking the
time to reflect on the best path forward for the
state that I love, the people that I love, the
movement I belong to, and the goal of defeating Susan Collins.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
So that sounds an awful lot like somebody who is
open to leaving but hasn't closed the door yet. Democrats
are beginning to distance themselves. Fetterman, I thought, by far
(04:15):
probably expressed.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Well.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
And and Scott Jennings, I think they're the bookends of
describing this.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Right.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Here's Fetterman, basically in a party that used to represent me, too, right,
saying the focus should be on this woman who was
raped and the courage it took to come forward.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
But this guy has got to go.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
And what I liked about what Scott Jennings said was
Scott just kind of calls it just like it is.
This guy was vetted. They knew this about him. Democrats
wanted distance from it.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Listen, he was.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Vetted, people knew all these things, and a whole bunch
of Democrats in Maine showed up and voted for him anyway,
and a bunch of donors from around the country sent
him money.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Anyway. I agree with Alyssa's question.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
What changed? Why are you bailing on grand Platner? Now
you already signed off on Nazi tattoo, a self described communist,
somebody who's had raped fantasies, somebody who has been on
a social media platform known as a playground for predators.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
And on and on and on and on and on.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
And the difference between this accuser and the previous one
is simply this.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
She's a liberal. It's okay, I.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Guess for Democrats that their candidates assault conservatives. But he
broke into someone's house and apparently, according to her, raped her,
and because her politics are correct, they could now believe it.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Yeah, the ending not so much.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I mean, that's a lot of speculation as to what
the Democrat motives are. I don't I have compared Graham
Platner to the movie The Campaign, which, if you've never seen,
a very funny movie with Will Ferrell, Zach califan Akis,
maybe Zach gallifan Akus his best performance by far, But anyway,
(06:17):
the concept is, what would a guy have to do
to be unelectable and this day and age. I mean,
if you can have oral sex in the Oval office
with an intern and nothing happened, I mean, you know, basically,
what would you have to do.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Now?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
In the movie, they take it to the you know.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
First he accidentally punches a dog, then he punches a baby,
then he gets pulled over by the police drunk driving,
then races off.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
In the police car.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I mean it gets all the way to the end
or where he literally has sex with his opponent's wife
and uses it in his campaign. At That's how it's
been with Graham Platina all along, right, So, I mean
there's part of you that wakes up this morning and goes, well,
why would this be the.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Straw that breaks the camel's back.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I mean, that's how Scott Jennings arrives at Well, maybe
it's because she's a liberal, he raved one of their own,
but the takeaway, the lesson is, and we're seeing this
with Chevalier as well. I mean Chevalier, all of her
ex posts are all coming back to haunt her, and
(07:34):
none of this matters to any of the socialist Democrats.
They are laser focused on again taking control of the
Democrat Party getting rid of the electoral college, dismantling the Republic.
So that's a voter block that doesn't care at all
about character at all. I mean to go back to
(07:55):
the analogy of the movie the campaign. I think you
could do anything. I think you could have somebody on
camera murdering someone and to be fine to move forward.
But what about what's left of the Democrat Party? Would
they rather an R who's more like a D or
(08:17):
the old D or stand by this flawed man to
get an S? Is that all that matters?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Winning? Or the ultimate agenda?
Speaker 7 (08:33):
Now?
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Never mind in the media, I mean, they can't ignore
Graham Platner, but they can ignore the messages of Medicare
for all. It's already insolvent. Where's that coming from? Kind
of like we did with mom. Donnie made him a darling,
made him a darling, made him a darling, and then
you know, every now and then you'd hear a hint
of well, how would you pay for all this? Or
(08:57):
he doesn't have the control of that budget, have to
get that from the governor. And she's campaigning on just
the opposite. How is this going to work? Ah, doesn't matter.
Get the d and move on, and then what you
really get is an s. So the biggest question of
the day is another woman has come forward, this time
claiming rape. Does this make Graham Plattner go And you
(09:18):
heard his explanation, of course, complete denial, but it's giving
him time to pause. So it sounds like somebody who's
thinking about going away finally, and there's many Democrats urging
him to do just that.
Speaker 8 (09:35):
Do you know, Michael, that all of the candidates in
Maine now have their campaigns on pause. The governor who
was going to run for Senate put her campaign on pause.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Hey, I think I think somebody gonna put main voters
on pause and give him a second to look in
the mirror and figure things out. So well, you know,
we'll have the latest on that as well, and a
lot of the reaction. But as far as it goes,
we're all waiting to see what grand Plantner does. They
have How long do they have to insert a new candidate?
(10:08):
I mean they're they're down to day thirteenth, the thirteenth, Yeah,
so they're down to six days to make a move. So,
you know, here's a party at war with itself, with
a crisis on the battlefield, who gets involved, who helps
make this decision at least for the denial followed by
we're going to pause.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
It looks as though even Graham sees the writing on
the wall.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
That's just some of what is defining what Tuesday, July
the seventh, twenty twenty sixth will look like. We'll cover
it all, and we're going to surround ourselves with a
lot of really smart people. Roy and you'll have the
latest time the Grand Platner situation, as well as Team
USA losing. John Decker is in Turkey for the NATO summit,
and we'll report. We'll get analysis from Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano,
(10:56):
and more so, Missili, you'll miss a lot, miss a lot,
and we will miss you. Life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness. Those words weren't just written in history books.
They were written for you.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
Now.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
It's hard to pursue happiness when pain is a part
of everyday life. Relief Factor was created to help people
address inflammation. It's one of the most common causes of
ongoing aches and pains, whether it's from aging, over exertion,
or just daily living. It's one hundred percent drug free,
research based formula. It works through multiple metabolic pathways. It
(11:29):
helps support comfort and mobility. No prescription, no masking symptoms,
just real relief so you can move forward. Mine, the
pain had gone from my back and into my hands.
That was the end of golf, and Relief Factor has
me golfing again. As America celebrates its two hundred and
(11:50):
fiftieth birthday of Independence, how about claiming your independence from pain?
And it's not too late. I know it's July seventh,
but we still have patriotic pricing. Seventeen seven six seventeen
dollars and seventy six cents is going to get you
the three week quick start for Relief Factor. That's enough
time for you to feel the difference, because freedom just
(12:11):
feels better without pain. Seventeen dollars seventy six cents, three
week quick start of Relief Factor. Visit relief Factor dot
com or call one eight hundred four Relief one eight
hundred the number four Relief or online at relief Factor
dot com.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 9 (12:31):
Hey, mykeee, we haven't had a joke in a while,
so let's give it a go.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Buddy.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
Why are koalas not really considered bears too.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Why because they don't meet the kualifications, A saying eleventh day,
Now I know why we haven't had.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
A joke in a while. A twenty five minutes after
the out, you're just waking up. Here are the things
you need to know.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
In addition to your joke of the day, President Trump
says the US would either make a deal with Iran
or finish the job. Second verse, same as the fur
We've heard this before, haven't waymore from Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 9 (13:11):
Trump made the warning while speaking to reporters from the
Oval Office on Monday.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
It won't be tough to finish your job.
Speaker 9 (13:18):
I'd rather make a deal because I don't want to
affect ninety one million people. He also reiterated that Iran
cannot have a nuclear weapon. Peace talks between the countries
aren't set to resume after the funeral where Iran Supreme Leader.
The ceremonies are being held nearly four months after he
was killed in a US Israeli airstrength.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
A Mark Mayfield main Senate candidate Graham Plattner is taking
time to reflect after a sexual assault allegation was made
against him in a video.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
On social media.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Monday, he addressed a report by Politico that a woman
who dated Platner accused him of forcing her to have
sex with him almost five years ago despite repeated objections.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Regardless of the inaccuracy of the reporting, but mindful of
political reality will inflict, we are taking the time to
reflect on the best path forward for the state that
I love, the people that I love, the movement I
belonged to, and the goal of defeating Susan Collins.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
And six days for the Democrat Party to decide whether
or not to replace him. The Department of Government Efficiency
DOGE has officially been shut down.
Speaker 10 (14:20):
The final social media post from the agency was published
over the weekend. The posts said the formal mission of
DOGE may have come to an end, but that the
mission to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in government would continue.
The agency was established by an executive order by President
Trump just hours after he was sworn in for his
second term. Under the leadership of billionaire Elon Musk. The
(14:41):
agency recommended the elimination of thousands of federal jobs, contracts,
and grants. The full impact of DOGE may never be known,
as administration officials say there are no plans to issue
a report on the agency's actions. I'm Tammy TRHILLO.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Well, the US's World Cup run is over. The team
crashed out in the round of sixteen against Belgia four
to one last night, losing in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Scott Carr has details.
Speaker 11 (15:03):
The American team gave up a goal less than ten
minutes into the match, though Malie Tillman scored his second
free kick of the tournament to tie things up in
the thirty first minute. The US then allowed a goal
just sixty one seconds afterward, and a horrible misplay by
goalkeeper Matt Freeze spotted Belgium at three to one lead,
effectively ending the game. The US still hasn't made the
(15:24):
quarterfinals of the World Cup since two thousand and two.
I'm Scott Carr.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
We talked a little bit yesterday about the gift bag
that everybody that attended Taylor Swift in Travis Kelsey's wedding got.
Liz Warner looks inside the bag at exactly what they got.
Speaker 12 (15:39):
Attendees were seen holding various personalized keepsakes as they exited
the venue. The celebration also reportedly featured some special raffle items.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Guest told NBC they.
Speaker 12 (15:48):
Could win Raffle tickets by playing a variety of games
that have been set up. Raffle prizes included some very
elegant items, among them wristwatches from Cartier, whose luxury time
pieces are a mainstay for tailor designer. Handbags and other
signature couchure also made the Raffle, but the most coveted
prize appears to have been the nineteen seventy Chevrolet Chevelle.
(16:10):
It is the same model of the classic the Travis drove.
As the two were seen embarking on their first date
in New York.
Speaker 10 (16:16):
I'm Liz Warner.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
It's like a marketing wedding, not a real bizarre Americans
are living longer, and new federal data suggests life expectancy
may be at an all time high. Monica Nelson reports in.
Speaker 13 (16:31):
CDC data shows the US death rate fell to a
record low in twenty twenty five, down nearly five percent
from the year before. Life expectancy was already seventy nine
years in twenty twenty four, and is expected to rise
to a new record when final twenty twenty five figures
are released later this year. If you were overdose and
COVID related deaths did help drive the improvement, although heart
(16:52):
disease and cancer remain the nation's leading causes of death.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
On Monica Nelson, Hey.
Speaker 12 (16:59):
This is Top Cop Kathy Hinters and my morning show
is your Morning show with Michael Dale Jorno.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Hey, gang, it's me Michael. You can listen to your
morning show live. Make us a part of your morning
routine or your drive to work companion on great stations
like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and fifteen ten
WLAC in Nashville, Tupelos News and Talk one oh one
point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk
six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love to have you
(17:31):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the podcast.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Enjoy the early bird gets the worm. Sleepy squirrel always
misses the nut. As my son always says.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
What's that mean? Dead? That's up? Literal from a time
gone by.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Good morning, and welcome to Tuesday, July the seventy of
Our Lord, twenty twenty six. We welcome k FR AM
five eighty and ninety five point nine FM in Lubbock, Texas,
the station that listens to Lubbick. Welcome to the your
morning show, kitchen table, make yourself at home. You can
always email Michael di at iHeartMedia dot com. Or if
(18:05):
you're listening on the iHeartRadio app, you'll see a little microphone.
That's the talkback. You don't have to rot on hold anymore.
Your time is too valuable. You simply press that button.
It professionally counts you down three to two to one,
gives you as many takes as you need, and gives
you up to thirty seconds to make a comment or
ask a question or maybe wax poetically like Steve in
(18:26):
Oklahoma City.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
Democrats stuck by their man through tattoos and texts from
his hand.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Character doesn't matter.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
They cheer, chirp, and chatter till rape allegations hit the fan.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
He is our chief pupologist, poetologist. Let's go to Youngstown,
Ohio next.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Hey, Michael, the only problem is a lot of times
with these candidates, when they drop out, all their legal
problems go away. Hopefully, if he drops out, they still
go after him for whatever he's done.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Yeah, we're way ahead of you on that. We did
the research. Statute of limitations on rape in the state
of Maine is ten years. I believe for the criminal
and then civil six right twenty years for criminals. Well,
either way, if this woman coming forward is telling the
(19:20):
truth and she's ready to pursue charges, it would certainly
be up to her. But it's within the statute of
limitations both civil and criminally. But you're right, sometimes it's
just a political weapon rather than justice, that's the goal,
Big John on the odds, I would presume we're going
to go to our chief Pookie.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
A quick check at the betting markets for Platner.
Speaker 8 (19:42):
They got them dropping out by July tenth, seventy seven percent.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Book.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Yeah, I would think Friday would be the day, right,
and then give them the weekend and Monday to announce
the replacement. Again, you're looking at a short run way,
kind of like what Kamala Harris complained about. I think
for all of us waking up the challenges, why does
it take this, you know, going back to what Scott
Jennings said, they knew what they had in Graham Platner.
(20:10):
They vetted him and didn't care. They didn't care about
the Nazi tattoos, they didn't care about the online post.
They knew there was gonna be problems with women. All
of it played out just like a vet would have
suggested it would have. And you're going to play it
right out to the final day, literally within seventy two
hours of a replacement candidate.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
And is that enough time? But what about what they
stand for?
Speaker 4 (20:42):
I mean, rape is a serious allegation and if true,
you know, but what about what they stand for, what
they planned to do? Give an example all of these candidates,
when you're talking about Chevalier or Platner Axio story, Democratic
socialists give new life to medicare for all. I mean,
(21:06):
apparently you can just pander anything. I should just run
for United States Congress on the platform I'll give everybody
my district a million dollars, even though I don't have
a million dollars to give everybody in the district, and
our country's forty trillion dollars in debt, this particular entitlement
program is already insolvent now again kind of like when
(21:30):
Obamacare was created, it was never seriously introduced to ensure
everyone because most who didn't want insurance chose not to
have it. Now, if you'll give it to them for free,
they'll take it the minute you stop giving it to
(21:50):
them for free. You're right back to I'm twenty six
years old, I'm healthy, I am paying for insurance.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
Now.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
The biggest problem was, remember the stated problem was there
are people dying in alleys with flies around their eyes
and the richest country.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
That just simply wasn't true. People would go into emergency rooms.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Get care and not pay, and then the cost of
them not paying was passed on to those who were
so all they were trying to do was transfer that
money into premiums rather than a checkout. But if you
(22:32):
start creating a pool of the poorest and sickest people
who can't afford insurance, there's no way you can lower premiums.
That's actuary one oh one. So it was a lie
on its face. It was never going to ensure everyone's
sure A SEK, wasn't going to lower premiums, and it
(22:54):
was never going to increase care because no one was
being denied care, they just weren't paying.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
So if it was.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Never designed to actually solve anything, what was it designed
to do?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Crash it?
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Why would you want to crack because then all that's
left is the option of a government healthcare system for all.
They're playing political games with the solvency and prosperity of
America already forty tree dollars in debt. So what is
this Socialist democrats decign. Well, they know there's not money
(23:30):
for Medicare for all, but if they can destroy it, well,
it's a I never watched sci fi, but like in
old Star Wars movie, these big giant ships and you
see a missile hit, it just kind of goes in
one part of it and weakens it.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
That's all it's designed.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
To do, Medicare for all, like it's a solvent thing,
it's not. And if government was the answer for anything
medical see Obamacare. But that's not stopping democratic socialists or
(24:11):
progressives or their success in this primary process. That's where
grand Platiner becomes kind of like a like a footnote
an analogy. Right, there's nothing reasonable about their platform. There's
nothing reasonable about what they're proposing, and no one even
(24:34):
addresses that you gotta have a shwastika women coming forward
for that to even hit the radar. In other words,
there's something there's something more broken this equation than even
Graham Platinir. But you've got the affordability theme, you've got
(25:00):
the healthcare frustration widespread in America. It's easy to blame
big pharma, or rich hospitals or rich people.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
We kind of cut to chase with all of this
by saying, this is really a gospel of envy, and
it only even has its stay in the sun because
you're rejecting the actual gospel.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
They have no use for God, they have no use
or ability to self govern, So you just turned to this.
Speaker 8 (25:49):
Newt.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Gingrich explains it this way. You are watching the death
of America's oldest party. Now, I gotta be honest with you.
I'm not playing shirts and skins here because I wouldn't
mid see both parties go. Why, because both these parties
have a stranglehold they were never meant to have. People
aren't American anymore. They're either red or blue shirts or skins.
(26:12):
Good guys are bad guys. And there's derangement on both sides.
Quite frankly, nothing like we've seen with Trump de arrangement,
but there's de arrangement on both sides. And the sooner
they're both gone and American citizens understand what our intent was,
the self governing gift they've been given.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
The better.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
But you are watching what appears to be the first
to die the Democrat Party. Now, we've been talking about
this for over a decade. I said at the beginning
of this decade, one or both to be gone by
the end of the decade. I still believe one's definitely
going to be gone, possibly two. And everything on the
radar looks like it's the Democrats first. Because if nothing
(27:00):
stops these socialists, well, the parasite defeats the host, and
the host dies and the parasite dies with it. That
leaves just the handoff of trump Ism and the future
of the Republican Party to play out by the end
of the decade. That'll be more featured in the twenty
twenty eight election. It's interesting in building this all up
(27:22):
to say this, is it possible that this midterm is
not going to be or even if it is a
victory for the Democrats, even on the House side, Let's
say the midterms could define the death of the Democrat
Party and the twenty twenty eight presidential election could determine
whether the Republican Party dies. That could kind of be
(27:47):
playing out in real time. Again, life is best understood
looking back, unfortunately, has to be lived looking forward. Yesterday,
we talked to great length about what America is finally
figuring out about co it. But you should have been
figuring that out in real time. Real time's harder. But
there are a lot of clues to kick around. I'm
(28:08):
seeing it taking shape as midterms, no matter how they result,
could cost the Democratics party forever for our time in
old time, something to keep an eye on. So in
that sense, the grand Platner story is a little bit bigger.
But there are other stories even today, Mom Donnie standing
(28:31):
behind a former campaign worker. I mean, everything about Chevali
is coming out. It's a drip, drip, drip as bad
as Platiner. I mean, she's a cop hater, America hater.
She wipes her hands with the American flag. I don't
(28:53):
have to even bring back up the weirdness of that
fourth of July address with his backward desk against a
fireplace with a wall of dead eyes, joyless people mostly
in head coverings, all carrying flags. You can tell they're
like repelled, just holding as he delivers a two hundred
(29:17):
and fiftieth American Birthday address on how awful America is.
I mean, Red said it immediately. I can't wait to
see what his nine to eleven address is. Oh, I can,
and it's coming. But there is a blessing in how
(29:41):
bold they are. Some things must be defeated. Some things
reveal and defeat themselves. This is the latter. This is
so antithetical to.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Who we are.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
You shouldn't need Graham Plattner to decide. Voters should be
able to handle this. As America turning two fifty a
time of celebration or condemnation, the American voters should be
able to decide that butt your top story waking up,
(30:18):
another woman has come forward claiming she was raped. He's
put his campaign on pause. Many believe he'll be gone
by Friday. That is the top story of the day.
Death told in last months. Venezuela and earthquakes now tops
thirty five hundred, not one, not two, not three. But
your top five stories of the day are coming up next.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
It's your Morning show with Michael del Jorno, the Morning Lighter.
Speaker 14 (30:41):
I appreciate how you call balls and strikes and you
call out each side for the things that they do wrong.
I'm curious how you reconcile. You know what you're saying
about Platner and what they knew about him and how
they vetted him anyway and went along and push him
through with the things that we were hearing about Trump,
and you know, the accusations against him concerning women in
the actual against him concerning racism.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Thanks Mike, appreciate, appreciate the Cauklan. Well, for one, Donald
Trump was vetted, Donald Trump was attacked by his own party,
and one in spite of that, see his treatment in
the first presidential debate on Fox with Megan Kelly. So
everyone knew all of that. Now, having said that the
(31:26):
president was never accused of rape, well he's been accused
of it, but I mean he's never has never been proven.
We know he had two failed marriages. We know he
committed adultery and at least one or both of the
failed marriages and is on his third. We know what
he said to Billy Bush. So nobody thought that Donald
Trump was a monk by any stretch of the imagination.
(31:51):
But I think what you're bringing up is the valid
point of the frustration within the Republican Party of those
who talked a good game and never delivered. And again
I'm the only one that ever says this, but I
stand by it. I mean, I guess I could be
wrong because no one else is saying it, but I
feel pretty strongly about it. Donald Trump exists because of
(32:12):
the way the Republican Party handled the Tea Party movement.
They just absorbed it and ignored the agenda that was
a grassroots, organically risen up movement against out a control
size of government and spending and the debt. Nobody talks
about the debt. They're all responsible for it, and they
(32:35):
all run for office like it never happened. And then
Donald Trump. That created the way. If they would have
just not absorbed the Tea Party, that movement would have
continued and we addressed debt, there would have never been
the lane for Donald Trump to enter. So that frustration
of the death of the Tea Party movement created the
(32:58):
void for Donald Trump, who walked right down that. So
you're right to instinctively say, well, okay, in the case
of Grand Platner, you've got to add anti American, probably
anti Semitic, don't you think, and actual felony allegations. But
(33:24):
he's walking through that same void that's created on the
far left. These young people have been told by their
educators K through twelve the intelligency at universities, their textbooks,
history channel documentaries, and every news source they watch other
(33:45):
than Fox, how awful America is, and they'll buy anything
from anyone, no matter what the question is with grand Platner,
are we at No matter.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
What I think de Niro's turned on him on Platner's Anazi,
Yes he is. I don't know if that's no that
he was talking about total Trump that wasn't sure.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
Democrats are starting to distance themselves, though, from the main
Senate candidate, Graham Plattner, after sexual allegations of rape have
come forward.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Mark Mayfield has our top story.
Speaker 9 (34:18):
In a report by Politico, a woman who dated Platner
accused him of forcing her to have sex with him
almost five years ago. Despite repeated objections, Congressman Roe Conna
of California and Senator Reuben Diego of Arizona announced that
they are withdrawing their endorsements, with commissaying Plattner should drop
out of the race. Platner has denied the new allegation,
but in a video, he said he's taking time to
(34:40):
reflect on the best.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Path forward with his candidacy.
Speaker 9 (34:43):
The battle, Platner has faced many questions about his past conduct,
including claims he had a tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol
he later covered up, as well as.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
One woman alleging physical abuse. I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
President Trump says the US will either make a deal
with Iron or they will finish the job. We've heard
that chestnut before. NATO leaders will gather in Turkey or
do you say Turke that summit. We'll have a live
report from John Decker from Turkey coming up next half hour,
and get analysis in the third hour from our Lieutenant
(35:14):
Colonel James Carafinal. The death toll in Venezuela after the
twin earthquakes is now up to over thirty five hundred
and the United States World Cup run is over, losing
four to one to Belgium last night in World Cup
soccer action in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael nhild Jorno.
