Because... We're in this together. This is your morning show with Michael Del Turner. Thank you, Mike McCann. Good morning, one and all. It is seven minutes after the hour. And yes, I have no explanation for how fast time has flown. Seems like we were just opening Christmas presents. Welcome to July. Welcome to the... heat dome that is expanding across our country. Seven minutes after the hour, it is Wednesday, July 1st, 2026 on the air, streaming live on your iHeart radio app. This is the show that belongs to you. This is your morning show. I'm Michael Del Journal. Jeffrey's got the sound. Red's got the content. The president's off to North Dakota to help open up the Teddy Roosevelt Library. Yes, we couldn't believe he didn't have one already. The Democratic Socialist train moved west to Denver and unseated a 15-term incumbent. Democrat and the Colorado primaries yesterday. Say hello to the latest socialist, Milat Kiroz. She's one of these new Americans, anti-American socialists. Another victory for the socialist and another expansion within the Democrat Party. And the village people front man, he was the cop. Victor Willis is dead at the age of 74. And I got to get my soccer jersey out. Team USA, Bosnia, tonight at 7 on Fox. Can't have your morning show without your voice. And we are so excited to have Minnesota voices.

Join our kitchen table. Great radio station, news talk 1130 and FM 103.5, KTLK in Minnesota. And that's where we find Sean. Hello, Sean here from the Twin Cities, Minnesota, deep behind blue enemy lines. A lot of people fail to realize Marx was often frustrated by the fact that his message resonated more with the bourgeois, the educated and wealthy than it ever did the working class, which is why often they have to resort to violence to pull about the final change to actual full-blown communism. Yeah, and they have shown those signs before, but again, we're in a stage. the infiltration. They allowed Bernie in. We had a long discussion in the Platinum Hour about this. That's why we have the podcast. It'll be up by 930 Central, 1030 Eastern, and you can go catch up. But they allowed Bernie to get his nose in the tent and socialism into the tent. I mean, it never should have been allowed. But for the longest time, the Democrat Party platform matched the socialist 1920 platform. And Barack Obama takes it to a postmodern era. Then you get to progressivism. But then the socialist get in and Bernie Sanders. I mean, three times Bernie Sanders would have gotten the Democratic presidential nomination if the DNC didn't rig it and get involved. He wasn't even a Democrat. How was that so? I thought that that would. No. Yeah, no, it was true. But now they're not inside the party. Now they're not agitating in the party. Now they're waging war in the party. More on that and sounds of the day coming up. But a great point. This stuff is coming from places like the Atlantic, the intelligency at universities, radicalizing, socializing students. I don't have to remind you, you can't get more white and more elite than this Denver area. So yes, great point coming out of the Twin Cities. Dallas in Nashville. Down the tubes. That's where this year is gone. Down the tubes, Michael. I don't know. Not so fast. You know, this year isn't over yet. A lot of these victories, now in the case of this Denver house seat, she'll go on to win. That's a very blue area. But this year isn't over yet. And they're waging war. So they're either going to win or they're going to lose. And the year's not over. And the general will be a different picture. Bob in Mississippi. Hey, Maggie, I don't know if this is going to get rid of the Democrat Party, but it's damn sure going to look like a three-legged dog and broke another low IQ, Mississippi. I'm sorry, I'm going to need a translation on that. I haven't heard that one. You can't help me. Dave is in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Trump derangement syndrome looks to be nothing more than bitter envy that scripture speaks about.

And we talked about that, too, in the platinum card. All right, everybody. Keep those talkbacks coming. I'm not joking. I don't think we should be taking the advice from a group of people who can't define what a woman is. Talk a little bit closer into my... There's Bernie. Just complete, not only misinformation. Who's racist? Do they fail you? Yes. Always revealing often entertaining time for your sounds of the day at 12 minutes after the hour. Well, Milat Keros. She's the latest socialist darling. to win the Congressional First District in Colorado. I thought it'd be interesting to listen to her acceptance speech. It gets fiery, and that's the clip you hear when we're doing top five stories of the day. But didn't start that way. In her acceptance speech, a little revealing. Listen. And I want to thank the one and only Senator Bernie Sanders for his support. You know why I start there? Think of what I just said to you. They allowed Bernie in. Remember when it was just Bernie? Then Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Then the rest of the squad. And now it's not like the tone of the squad, which was really a tone of agitation. Now they're waging war. Watch your tune. But it's not so much Karl Marx that they focus. It's Bernie Sanders is the father of their movement. Bernie was the original infecting cell. But oh, how it's divided since. By the way, as she's praising Bernie Sanders, somebody brings up a cardboard cutout. And it's the famous member when Bernie was sitting all alone on the folding chair with his mask on during COVID.

Interesting that she says progressive running. I mean, I guess from the sense of we're progressing from Democrat to liberal to progressive to socialist. A progressive? Post her child, look, if she was a progressive, that'd be a cardboard cut out of Barack Obama, not a cardboard cut out of Bernie Sanders. And to every. across the country, across this state for inspiration, for solidarity. Tonight we saw wins down ballot. We saw cello win. We saw Eris win. All right, a couple of significant things there. One, she doesn't say socialist. She does it all in the name of progressivism. Most of them are just boldly socialist now. Go back real quick and listen to the slip of the tongue.

We're taking back our party and our country. Let that soak in. And their headmaster, their hero, their founding father is Bernie Sanders, who was never in the party. A socialist outside the Democrat Party allowed in, grows into the squad. Now all of a sudden they're taking back the party. and the country. Remember what I always tell you, socialist, this movement of socialist Democrats, justice Democrats, their first goal is to take over the party. Their next goal is to remove the electoral college. Their final goal is to dismantle the republic. A lot of interesting conversations, a lot of these people like her, conversations I have heard. Well, this is a new look. The old Democrat Party and liberals and females looked very no makeup, short haircuts. You know the look I'm describing. Now they're younger, ethnic. They wear makeup, they're attractive, and they're fiery women. And would a lot of them have in common? Most of them have in common? I mean, if she's some big superstar in this new socialist movement, guess what? She can't run for president.

If Zohran Mamdani is that poster, he can't run for president. They're naturalized citizens. What's Stephen A. Smith make of all of this? Remember, Stephen A. Smith was like, my party's gotten so crazy, I may have to run for president. Then he gets everybody juiced up about it. And then he's like, well, I make too much money. And I'm too successful. But. So the socialists get their nose in the tent with Bernie, expand to the squad. Now they're beyond infiltrating and agitating to waging war. You can see that the Democrats waited too long and they're not willing to fight. Or to our caller who thinks this year has no hope. Here's what Stephen A. Smith sees coming once we get to the general election or even beyond the 2028 presidential. It resonates within a Democratic Party, but it doesn't have a snowball's chance of resonating in a general election, then you're basically handing the presidency to the GOP in 2028 as well. That's what you're doing. Because the party, the Democratic Party, will have been perceived as being fragmented. Well, that speaks to what I always talk about. If this mission plays out and works, if they succeed in taking over the Democrat Party, the Democrat Party dies. And like a parasite that kills the host, it dies with the host. There is a move coming in 2028, though, similar to 2024, similar to 2020, and similar to 2016. The DNC bait and switching. Bernie would have got the nomination in 2016. They used superdelegates rigged it for Hillary. They wanted Kamala Harris in 2020. She was the first one out. She's so unintelligent and nasty. And it was going to be Bernie again. So they cut a deal in South Carolina for old Joe. Fourth in Iowa, seventh in New Hampshire. Everybody forgets. Then he was supposed to step aside after choosing Kamala Harris and give them their Kamala Harris who couldn't win as a candidate, give her that presidency. That's the Hillary candidate. And Joe wouldn't go. So then they outed him after he secured the delegates and then hand it to Kamala Harris and then she loses to Donald. What might their plans be in 2028 at the height of the civil war within their party? Well, I believe Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be the new Bernie Sanders off to the early lead, and they will turn to somebody like Rahm Emanuel. And he will be that sensible, democratic voice to try to keep the socialists from finishing the deal of destroying the Democrat Party. This rise of socialism is playing right in to my Nostradale Journal prediction. Ron DeSantis in Florida announced the Supreme Court's ruling on birthright citizenship and had this to say from Florida. But when they did the 14th Amendment, what they were trying to do was overturn the Dred Scott decision. Dred Scott said that the Supreme Court, Dred Scott said Dred Scott wasn't a citizen because he was black. He couldn't sue. And Lincoln rejected that. And so what they wanted to say is, wait a minute, no, you're a citizen, you know, regardless of race.

and we're going to correct that injustice. That was the purpose of it. It was not to have people show up from China for two weeks, have babies, get them citizenship, and then go back to China. I mean, how ridiculous has this become? And it wasn't, even though they didn't really conceive of illegal immigration at the time, because transportation was more difficult. It wasn't as easy to come to a country illegally, you know, as it has historically been to the United States, particularly when Biden was in. But they never would have thought that somehow people coming in against the wishes of the people who are responsible for electing people and writing the laws that you come in against the law. have a kid and somehow that's an American citizen as well. So I think in terms of the original understanding, they never conceive that it would end up being this way now. We all get that. The question is how do we get back there? I for one think the everyday American who's never heard of what I'm about to say needs to hear of it, study up on it and quickly realize whether we're talking with David Sinati about the filibuster. which creates this upside-down pyramid completely antithetical from our 1776 founding father's intent where we were a government of formed by the people through the people's house. Now you have Congress with no power doing nothing, the filibuster and the club of 100 in the Senate, really controlling things in presidents desperately trying to do executive orders at the Supreme Court shoots down. We need an Article 2 Convention of the States.

Because we are very close to the start over point. Isn't it strange? If we could go back in time. Two and a half years ago when your morning show began, what would we be saying about Tucker Carlson? What would we be saying about Megyn Kelly and all these other forces that united to get Donald Trump elected? And what will we say about them today? I mean, Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson the most gone crazy. The socialist crazy movement within the Democrat Party. Do you know who seems like the only wise voice left? Bill Maher. Who'da thunk that? Your view of JD Vance changed at all after you did the interview with him. Did what? Your views and your opinion of JD Vance. Heading into the interview versus after. Mine didn't because I talk to these guys all the time. And when I say these guys, I mean politicians and Republicans. And so I know they're always going to be like that. They're never like this. Oh, everyone says after the show, Marjorie Taylor Greene, I kind of like three. It's like, yeah, everybody's a monster until you talk to them. Everybody's a monster until you talk to them. This is what social media has produced, this culture of outrage, us versus them, shirts and skins. Nobody's having intellectual debates. I mean, Bill Maher looks like he's become something really sensible. Bill Maher hasn't changed. The world around him changed. He still has thoughtful, ideological worldview differences. just doesn't have derangement towards anybody with an opposing views of his own. The things were never going to agree on, yeah. But, you know, a guy like that, I knew it. I knew that kind of guy. They're happy warriors. You hit him with, you know, three really, really. hard-hitting things that say you can't keep doing the and they're just they answer it they evade it but they don't hold it against you it doesn't turn hateful that's who it is some people don't want that they want you know they would never be happy unless JD Vance walked out and i punched him in the nose that's your sounds of the day always revealing and often entertaining what do you want to do I'm waiting on the consequences. The best way to get back on your feet is to get up off your ass. I've been living rent-free, and that guy's head for years, and that's just a boat. You call that chicken egg? They're just blowing off steam. Golden silver recently soared to record highs, then it pulled back. So precious metals, are they still a good buy? Major banks think so. They're forecasting even higher prices ahead. And why? We're 40 trillion in debt. We have a declining dollar. Inflation keeps shrinking our savings, even with corrections along the way.

We'd love to be a part of your morning routine, and we're grateful you're here now. Enjoy the podcast. Good morning, and welcome to your morning show on the air, streaming live on your iHeart app. I am Michael Del Journal, honored to serve you. America's 250 is coming up, and we're putting a time capsule. sealed and in place, but what's in it? We find out with Rory O'Neill coming up in minutes. And as America turns 250, who better to look back through the years with than a historian? A historic political figure and a history professor. The speaker himself, Newt Gingrich, good morning. Good morning. Good to be with you. I have been all week long asking people about America as it turns 250 compared to when it turned 200 in 1976, let alone our intent of 1776. And I think what we're all dancing around is we live the bicentennial and now we're living 250. And somehow they just feel different. Why? Well, I think they're a very different era. I think that we've had so many different things from the attack on 9-11, taking down the World Trade Center and killing several thousand Americans, to the long wars in Iraq and in Afghanistan, to the impact of the Internet. I think people are... more nervous today and more negative today, in part just because of the constant 24-hour day bombardment, whether it's TikTok or YouTube or Facebook or you name it, people are just drowning in information and it's magnified the voices of people who are crazy. So folks who would not have gotten on your show, they wouldn't have gotten on network television, but they can go and create a following for themselves no matter how insane they are. And the result is that there's a noise level in the culture that makes it, I think, probably 20% more negative. than it really is. That it actually is, yeah. And you know, I see television, the death of journalism has kind of taken place, though it's still there and it's still influencing and it's feeding a tribal matrix that exists. But the internet, that's the wild, wild west of outrage. And I mean, this year in particular watching what's happened to Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly and some Candace Owens and some others, that becomes about outrage and clicks. The media becomes about agenda, and yet somewhere in all of this is the truth, right? And if the American people hunger for it, they'll find it. Look, and eventually you'll get there. Remember, Jefferson and Hamilton both subsidized newspapers to smear each other while they were both serving in Washington's cabinet.

I always tell people they ask me how tough it's gotten. I said, we have not had a former vice president shoot, a former sector of the treasurer since, you know, Hamilton was killed by around 1803. So, you know, this is a rough and tumble country. We are having to learn a lot of new things. The changes are unbelievable. And they're going to keep coming. Many of them are very good. People are going to live longer. They're going to live healthier. They're going to have more choices. And some of them drive you crazy. That's good news because for some of us, we don't know what we're going to do without you someday. Because of your historic background, historian, professor, U.S. representative, one of the most historic speakers of the House in U.S. history. And, oh, by the way, now a podcaster with Newt's World. More on that coming up. Well, we've faced civil war. We've faced depression. World Wars. deep political divisions, and they exist today as they have throughout our history. Is there anything about this moment other than the noise that you described that you think feels different? I mean, we see this socialist movement. I want to talk about that. But just in general, I mean, I was 12 years old during the bicentennial. Now my youngest child is 20. It feels dramatically different. Well, I remember just before the bicentennial, in the late 1960s, The FBI recorded 2,500 bombings. I mean, the hard left in that period, the Black Panthers openly said they wanted to kill policemen. A million people gathered in a demonstration at the Pentagon. So the late 60s had been very chaotic. When Nixon resigned and when we accepted losing the Vietnam War, and Gerald Ford had the kind of personality that just calmed everybody down. You know, he was Grand Rapids, Michigan. And I think as a result, people began to be a little more calm. They thought the system was working. And yet along came both Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter. And it's easy to look back and forget how much turmoil there was in that period. But it did have a, it had more of a positive, and I think you see this, for example, in movies. This is a time when it's harder to make really happy, positive movies because they kind of go against the general mood of the system. Right. I look back, you left one thing out, I look back at 1968, and I remember that lunar orbit. And that telegram that came from Texas that said, you just saved 1968. I mean, we saw Robert F. Kennedy Jr. killed, we saw MLK killed, we saw the riots on campuses. And then in the midst of that, Richard Nixon, who would later fall, but at that time, talked to a silent center in America. And something about that and that lunar orbit. kind of moved us forward. We had a lunar orbit this year. It didn't seem to have that effect. We had a 250th birthday where we could look back to our original documents and we don't seem to be. We're clinging to our differences. I think of how you worked with President Clinton and how President Clinton wisely worked with you. And I wonder today, would any president work with an opposing party in Congress and would any Congress be interested in working with any opposing party president? Because that, I really go back to Reagan.

and you working with Clinton. That was what got us really back on track, and then I think something changed dramatically from Obama on. Well, I think the biggest difference, we run a project called America's New Majority Project, and we're in the process right now of creating a platform of the American people. We find dozens of issues where 75, 80, 85% of the country agrees. And so part of what happened with Clinton was, he knew that we were, for example, on balanced budget, that that was about a 95% issue. Welfare reform was a 92% issue. Well, Clinton wanted to get reelected. And he was smart enough to know that you don't get reelected by being against a 95% issue. Part of the difference right now is that Trump is genuinely changing the system. I mean, if you're a true left-winger and you spent the last 40 years of your life building the Washington bureaucracy, you're watching your whole life be torn apart. And of course they're going to be fighting over it. Of course there's going to be conflict. But the greater problem for the Democrats, the reason they would find it very hard to sit down and negotiate is that... They have a whole series of 10 and 15% issues that, frankly, the American people oppose. So when they come in a room and they say, unless you do what we want, we're not going to cooperate. And by the way, nobody outside our base wants what we want. You have a hard time building a majority. We look to history to understand our birth and what sustains us. Newt Gingrich is joining us, one of our greatest speakers ever. I look at the Democrat Party, and they are an all-out war now. It's not a cold war anymore between the socialists and the progressives, let alone there's no such thing as establishment Democrats anymore. And we're seeing the face of Zohran Mamdani, probably the face of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in this presidential run, the passing of the torch from Bernie. It's an all-out war with socialism. I kind of view it like a parasite. defeats the host, the host dies with it. What is, and we'll talk about the handoff of Trumpism with the Republican Party, but what are the challenges for the Democrats moving forward? They think they have a lot of socialist momentum right now. How does that play out? Well, I think, first of all, that when you go to the whole country, they just collapse. But I'm very interested to watch, for example, there are a couple of races in Colorado. Yes. It'll be interesting to see what happens there. There's no question, and we need to know where the money comes from, but there's no question that an enormous amount of money has been put in to creating the Democratic Socialist Party, and that whether you're in Seattle or you're in Los Angeles or New York, Colorado today. There is a nationwide network of very hard left-wing people who are bound together by the desire for power and by the desire for money to pay off their allies. And that's the core of what their system is. And their belief structures are, I think, literally Alice in Wonderland. I mean, they're so far away from the real world that there's no practical way to debate them because they're crazy.

For the Republicans, they absorb the Tea Party movement. You could make a case that Trumpism. MAGA is Make America Great. And then there's the MAGA loyalists, which is a smaller group. But by and large, most people love what the president has done. And he hasn't done anything that Republicans haven't been saying for a long time. He just has followed through and done it. But these, you know, the Republican Party, they're going to either absorb Trumpism or try to the establishment. or Trumpism is going to be handed off. And I think that's a big thing to watch unfold in the next few years. You see it the same way? I think that's right. I think you've got, well, first of all, Trumpism in the broadest sense is the Republican Party. I mean, I can't imagine anybody today being in a position to dramatically take on Trump or to take on his... Say JD Vance or Marco Rubio for the president. If you were to try to run as the anti-Trump candidate, you're not going to get anywhere. And that's a difference. I think of the Democratic Party. They have a couple of very tough decisions. They have several potentially good candidates. Governor of Pennsylvania is a good example. But he's also Jewish. And you don't know how deep the anti-Semitic... pro-Hamas wing of that party has become. But it's clearly become very aggressive. And I suspect that a convention that tried to nominate the governor of Pennsylvania might well be torn to shreds by an absolute rebellion among about half the delegates. So we could be going back to what happened to the Democrats in 1972 with McGovern where the whole system just broke down. Yeah. And you could just see that, you know, it happened to them in 68 in Chicago and 72 in Miami. And people just were tired of dealing with them. And the result was they, in effect, destroyed themselves. Yeah, they had an Israel problem in the previous presidential election. It's going to become a quagmire forum in the next. But I saw you with Mark Levin. You just blew me away when you talked about the difference between courage. and fearlessness of those that created this nation. What they were up against militarily was crazy to even try. But I love the way you explained it. They'd rather die than not do it. Does America love this intent and experiment as much today to fight for its preservation? Oh, sure. I mean, remember, you're talking about a relatively small part of the population. I think the Americans in The 1770s, one third actually were still loyalist to Britain. One third were for an open independence. And one third just wishes it all go away. But among the people who actually wanted independence, the level of determination and the level of fearlessness was just astonishing. And they were literally prepared when they said our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor, they meant it.

I talked how different America feels today at 250 than it did at 200 when I was 12. Much of that change dramatically is the last 25 years. What do you see is the biggest keys for the next 25 years to keep our eye on if we're going to preserve this republic? I think it'll be enormously helpful to decisively defeat the hard left, which represents about 15% of the country. And you could then build a bipartisan majority around the issues of the American people. But it's very hard to do that when you have a militant left wing that, you know, the other day was booing the Democratic leader of the House. in his hometown because he's not radical enough. Well, until they are, my prediction is until they are defeated, you are not going to be in a position to put together a bipartisan majority. Thank you for your role in the history of our 250 years.

with Michael Del Charno. I'd put you... Hey, good morning. Yeah, well, thanks a lot. You know, they're going to open this thing, 250 years. Seal it and bury it for 100 years. That's something you would have said about me, but go ahead. Yeah, maybe I did. 2276 is the year they're going to open this thing, and what will they find in 2276? Actually, an iPhone. An iPhone 17 Pro Max is one of the items. A Coca-Cola... A Coca-Cola glass contour bottle. And also the Library of Congress is donating this tiny metal vial about the size of a pencil eraser. It's got synthetic DNA, which is encoded with digital copies of Thomas Jefferson's rough draft of the Declaration of Independence. Francis Scott Key's handwritten lyrics for the Star Spangled Banner. Also inside a 3D rendering of President Abraham Lincoln's hand. Wow, that's, that's an odd one. What do you think's missing? What would you have put in that they didn't? Well, one thing, Ohio, I thought, had one of the better submissions, among the items, a piece of cloth from the right flyer. Yeah, and then nothing space. I know that's your area of expertise and my area of fascination. Yeah, Florida was pretty lame. I thought, if I'm being totally honest, it's like, oh, it's a challenge coin from the Florida State Senate. All right. Tennessee set a poster in, by the way. It's Tennessee's original frontier poster, highlighting the state's key natural features, cultural symbols, historic moments. And I wonder for B. A, I wonder if we'll be a Republican 50 years.
