Three starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in the stild.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
This is your morning show with Michael Odell Jordan.

a stroke. Meanwhile, funeral services are set for Saint Peter's

(01:03):
morning after stocks plunged yesterday to start the week, It's
eight minutes after the hour, and thanks for waking up
with your morning show on the air and streaming live
on your iHeartRadio app. I'm Michael del Jorna. Roy O'Neil
is their national correspondent. A new study is out on
how people feel about their personal financial situation, and there
are some surprises in this whoop them on us, Rory.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Hey, Michael, Good morning.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Just thirteen percent of Americans in this survey say they
feel quote very good unquote about their current financial situation
thirteen percent. But more and more say this is now
the time to start getting the financial house in order.
There are growing concerns about an uncertain economy in the
months ahead. Most Americans seventy four percent still manage their
(01:48):
own finances, but only have have strong confidence in their
own abilities, so they're not taking action to.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Change those numbers around.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
So a bit of a mixed message here, but overall, well,
a lot of American is pretty uncertain as their financial
future is unfamily.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I was going to say this, so much of this
is based on individual human perception.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
I don't know. I'm at my age.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I don't know that there was ever Well, I go
back to my first radio job, orright, made sixteen thousand
dollars a year, and I lived a mile away from
the dairy Queen. My rent was two hundred and two dollars.
My Aaron rents furniture was sixty four. I mean those
are good times, but I mean I don't know that
the average person ever really feels good about where they're
(02:33):
at financially. Is this something we kind of track and trend?
You can learn more from the trend than the actual numbers.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Yeah, from this survey. I don't think so, in particular
from this group. But I think that it also depends
significantly on at what age you're being.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Asked these questions.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Right sure, you know, are you seventy years old at
being asked this? Or are you twenty five with that
first radio job that still pays about sixteen thousand dollars
a year. But it does also I think it's more
predictive of how Americans are feeling a snapshot of today
and maybe the year or two ahead. Because the top
financial goals for Americans right now include saving money that's
(03:10):
fifty three percent, reducing debt is thirty two percent, and
getting that emergency fund pumped up that's about twenty seven percent.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Well, at least you're getting their priorities right. You know,
it used to be having a home, the American dream,
having that home paid off. Now I think people kind
of view a home as just something, as a necessary debt,
and they're really kind of moving on to that six
month saving plan because of the insecurity people are feeling
with the economy. I just I wonder how much of
(03:38):
their view of the economy you see in their view
of their own finances.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Absolutely, Plus, you know the shock of COVID, and a
lot of people are probably saying, oh, I don't know,
my money wasn't great then, I don't want it to
get worse again. Now that's still fresh in the minds
of many, So I think people are seeing again with
these tariff negotiations that are happening and all this uncertainty.
I think people are freshly reminded of some of the
turmoil that was experienced during during.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
COVID and are trying to take appropriate steps.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
It's funny when you have kids, you want to see
them avoid the mistakes you made, and then you can
just see the writing on the wall. They're going to
make all the same mistakes because you know, I try
to tell them. First thing you do is get a
roth ira and start saving even at a young age
or when you get you know, your first real job,
and if they offer a four oh one k, put
money in that four oh one k, get that six
(04:27):
month reserve and then spend as you have it rather
than building debt. But then there's always the things that
life throws at you. You you know, for people our age,
we had that big economic downturn, the greatest recessions at
the Great Depression in two thousand and six and eight.
We all had to dig our way out of that.
Then we had to dig our way out of COVID.
There's things that can happen outside of the control. And
now I find myself way more interested in what your
(04:48):
first radio job.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
Was and would it be?
Speaker 4 (04:53):
It was?
Speaker 5 (04:53):
It was in a renovated chicken coop where I could
only stand up straight in half the building at my
six point six frame.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, I think it did. Like seven bucks an hour
was my first part. And seriously, remember how happy we were.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Those were good time, yes, although it did teach me
how to, you know, talk up a clock until the
top of the hour.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
That's right, and we just talked up to your top.
Roy and Neil is going to be back in the
third hour right after our did I mention Valie Burton
Elly is on the show today, have made note of
that a cop Right right after Valerie Burton Elly, we'll
talk about Wall Street. It's begun another roller coaster week
with I don't even remember yesterday. I lost track when
we were down about seven hundred. We ended up the
(05:35):
Dow down nine to seventy one. Nasdaq was down four
hundred and fifteen, the SMP was down one twenty four,
just zooming in on the on the Dow, if we
kind of.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Look at.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
When was a big crash, it was two weeks ago,
right somewhere around there, and then we built ourselves back.
So we went down to thirty seven nine four, and
now we're at thirty eight one seventy. Not back to
that complete low yet, but not off to a good start.
So we'll see if the market rallies back when the
abuzza sounds. We were doing polls of plenty earlier and
(06:09):
I wanted to follow up with one. One is how
stupid is the Democrat leadership?
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Literally?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
The other is how stupid are Democrat voters in California.
So if you weren't listening to the Platinum card Hour.
It was part of our Sounds of the day. Jesse
Waters asked New Gingrid, Seriously, have you ever and this
is a man who is a history professor, have you
ever seen such a political blunder where the Democrats are
all in on such a losing issue. You just don't
(06:43):
see the two major parties make this big of blunders.
And the Democrats aren't just all that. I mean, they
quadrupled down on stupid sending four more members of Congress
on taxpayer's dime back to Al Salvador, back to double
down on this MS thirteen gang member who's been deported.
(07:04):
And so we said, well, look at the latest Rasmusen
poll and think about how many things eight and ten
and Americans agree on, and this is one of them.
Seventy nine percent of likely US voters believe it's important
that illegal immigrants who commit crimes in America be deported,
and that include fifty six percent who consider it very important.
In fact, for Van Holland and the four more Democrats
(07:27):
that went to El Salvador, only seventeen percent.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
One point seven out of ten don't.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Think it's important. This is a political losing issue for them,
and they're all in. In fact, in this research, sixty
six percent strongly agree with Burkel's quote about the need
to liberate Americans from crime majorities of every political category.
Ninety percent of Republicans of court, of course, support the
(07:57):
deportation of these criminals. And I'm not just talking about
the criminal active breaking into the country illegally, but committing
felony crimes.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
After you've done that, like a gang member.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Ninety percent of Republicans, sixty nine percent of Democrats think
it's important. And then here's the real kiss of death.
Seventy six percent of voters not affiliated with either major
party think it's important. This is a losing issue for
the Democrats, even among their own voters. Ninety two percent
of those who voted for Donald Trump think it's important
(08:28):
that illegal immigrants who commit crimes in America should be deported.
Even sixty four percent of those who voted for Kamala
Harris think it's important. Sixty five percent of whites, seventy
six percent of Blacks, sixty seven percent of Hispanics. And
I'm to say how male black voters and Hispanic voters
and Asian voters have been hemorrhaging and leaving the party.
(08:50):
It's such a losing issue to quad druple down on
to start the week. But now let's turn to California.
Or it's not just the Democrat Party doing something stupid.
Apparently most Californians favor bankruptcy.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
And hire taxes. I would imagine Kamala Harris is a
showing to be their governor.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Why do I say that most California voters support the
state's efforts to increase health care coverage for migrants without
legal status. So you want to give health care benefits
to illegals. That's one point three billion dollars in California alone.
It's why you're bankrupt. According to a new survey from
(09:39):
the University of California, Berkeley, twenty one percent of surveyed
voters believe the states should continue to offer what they
can't afford Medicaid coverage to migrants without legal status, even
if it means they'll be cuts elsewhere in the budget.
I mean, we were looking at blue states during the election,
and we were fascinated In New York. We're in New
(10:01):
York City, you had a mayor that gets it. In Illinois, Chicago,
it's largest city, a mirror that didn't get it, and
the people did. And so you had the people going
to the city council meetings, to the councilors and to
the mayor saying, you can't have all these illegals. They're
(10:24):
overrunning our resources, our facilities.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
This must stop. And the council in the maryror wouldn't listen.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
In Chicago, in New York, you had a mayor that
got it and the people that wouldn't listen. And now
here we are, once again in the blue state of California.
I guess somebody could yell at the radio. Well, that's
pretty much all that's left there now is stupid. Everybody
else has left. I'll never forget the one of the
(10:54):
best Saraenadlin bits ever. They were sitting at a kitchen
table and this guy's got a new book out. I
think it was Steve Martin, wouldn't it don't spend money
you don't have. First of all, you don't have the money.
So to twenty one percent of those surveyed, I would say,
you're broke, you're bankrupt, you're taxed to death, and this
(11:15):
is one point two billion you don't have.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
How do you.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Expect to continue to provide this, thirty two percent of
respondent say California should continue offering the program two migrants
without legal status, but if budget cuts are deemed necessary
to make it work, people in the cot in the
country legally should receive the priority. So you got thirty
two percent say, well, obviously we can't afford this, and
when push comes to shove, let's give at least a
(11:41):
nod a priority to those who are legal. And then
thirty one percent say California should never have opened its
Medicaid coverage to migrants without legal status. Just thirty one
percent in this survey get what you can't afford. It
is fascinating, I think. I mean, we've got a Democrat party,
(12:06):
and I really, I firmly believe that one or both
parties would be gone by the end of the decade.
And it sure looks like it's a Democrat party. If
the socialist Democrat justice Democrats have their way, it'll be the.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
It'll be the way of the parasite.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
The parasite will defeat the host, the host will die,
and the parasite will die with a host. In other words,
they'll destroy the party from within. But they don't have
a leader, and they don't have a message, and how
this is playing out in some of their states. By
the way, all these mass exoduses from these states are
going to impact the electoral College because it's going to
(12:47):
impact the makeup of how many members from Congress come
from each date. That's already a peril they face. By
twenty thirty, the end of the decade. Translation, some of
these blue states are turning purple. Some of these blue
states won't be as important as they used to be.
But it is fun while it's happening. You just keep
(13:08):
an eye on where the party doesn't get it and
the people do, where the people don't get it and
the party might, and then in California where neither seem
to get it. That's your polls of plenty for this Tuesday,
April the twenty second, we come back to Top five stories.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Of the day. It's your Morning Show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Well, if you're just waking up, President Trump will attend
the funeral Pope Francis.

The wife of former New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, has
found herself now guilty in a federal trial.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Sarah le Kessler reports.
Speaker 9 (14:02):
Manhattan jury found Naden Menendez guilty on Monday and all
fifteen charges, including conspiracy to commit bribery and extortion. Several
of those charges carry up to twenty years behind bars.
Prosecutors say Nadine Menendez was a partner in crime with
her husband, a go between demanding and collecting bribery payments
(14:23):
in the form of gold bars, cash, and a Mercedes.
Bob Menendez was found guilty last year and will report
to prison to serve an eleven year sentence in June.
That's when his wife will learn her fate. I'm Sarah
Lee Kessler, and no.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Google continues to defend itself in court after a federal
court ruled the tech giant operates a monopoly.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
The Department of Justice is proposing a package of remedies
to end the tech giants illegal monopoly and restore competition.
The hearing started on Monday. It will determine if the
company can remain in its current form or we'll have
to face penalties like selling off its Chrome web browser.
Google argues it's being punished for innovation. The hearings expected
to last about three weeks. I'm Tammy Trheo.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
I'm thinking of President Reagan.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Today we celebrate a humble candy we've been eating since
the Civil War, pree tennis with Moron National Jellybean Day.
Speaker 11 (15:15):
Jelly beans have been to space. It was a President's favorite,
and it's the first candy ever to be sold by weight,
and we love them. According to candystore dot Com, last year,
Americans eight sixteen billion jelly beans and they're not really
bad for US. One jelly beans, four calories. They're vegetarian,
gluten free, kosher, and free of most allergens. And when
you eat them the burst of sugar releases and doorphins
(15:36):
that make you happy. So have another jelly bean. I'm
bre tennis.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Vatican says Pope Francis died of a stroke. He'll be
lying in state for viewing beginning this afternoon. The funeral
will be Saturday at Saint Peter's Basilica. The President Donald
Trumps announced on social media he will be there for
the funeral. Conclave coming in two weeks. Defense Secretary Pete
Hegsat blasting what he calls disgruntled employees over the latest
(18:32):
signal controversy or is it a fictitious legacy media nonsense campaign?
White House correspondent John Decker Always in the thick of things,
what do we got going here? And don't we have
better things to be focused on? But did Pete have
another signal crisis? Or is this manufactured?
Speaker 12 (18:53):
Well, I don't know what part is manufactured.
Speaker 13 (18:56):
You know, I've seen these things play out before, in.
Speaker 12 (18:59):
Which a story appears in immedia publication and instead of
denying the story, the individual who's the focus of the
story attacks the media, attacks the authors, attacks the leakers,
but no denial. And that to me is a very
interesting read as it relates to what has happened with
this New York Times story in which they write of
(19:22):
another signal chat that happened with Pete hegset in which
he shared a very I would guess you would call
it sensitive information regarding the impending attack on who they
rebels by the US military and Yemen. Included on that
group chat his wife. I don't know why his wife
would need to be pretty to such a conversation, but
(19:43):
according to this story, she was included in it. And
that's the reason why you have some calling for Pete
Hegseth's resignation of calling on the President to fire him,
including Republican Congressman Don Bacon of Nebraska. You know, I
don't know if that means anything. The President expressed his
support for Pete Hegseth despite all of this, But it's
(20:04):
another example of.
Speaker 13 (20:05):
You know, I guess you could call it carelessness in
terms of having conversations on an unsecured app regarding national
security information.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
And then you bring in, because it's not really just
attack the media without denying it, there's this conversation of
disgruntled leaking employees who have since been removed. So there's
that aspect of it too, right, Well, there is.
Speaker 12 (20:31):
You know, and I mean, I guess that's what disgruntled
employees do I've been a disgruntled employees.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
I haven't done that yet, but i'd like it. In fact,
let's break some stories on Cumulus. No, I'm kidding, Go.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Ahead, let's do that.
Speaker 12 (20:44):
Uh No, but you know that's obviously perhaps where the
sources or source of this story is is individuals that
formerly were hired by Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon serving
in various.
Speaker 13 (20:59):
Capacities at the penn who have.
Speaker 12 (21:01):
Been relieved of their duties, or individuals lost their jobs
last week because of I guess you could say they
were not confident. Individuals at the highest levels were not
confident in those in those individuals continuing.
Speaker 13 (21:17):
To serve in their capacities at the Pentagon.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
John Deckers are White House correspondent joining us. Sorry, So
for those that are looking at the radio saying John,
is this did this happen timeline wise the same time
as the first infraction? Meaning is this a you know,
same time period, same mistake, second time?
Speaker 6 (21:37):
Yes? Yeah, so I mean.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
This this still So the way I was gonna ask
the question, is this.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Strike two or still strike one but just a worse swing.
Speaker 13 (21:45):
That's a very good question. I'm not I'm not the
President of the United States.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
He makes those calls.
Speaker 12 (21:50):
You know, he's the umpire in terms of whether it's
strike wind or strike too. Obviously, members of Congress want
to weigh in, but it's the member. It's the president
who determines whether or not a member of his cabinet
continues to have his support, continues to have his confidence.
And yesterday he expressed his confidence in Pete Hegsath So
to me, I don't know whether it's strike one or
(22:11):
strike too. To me, the story likely goes away by
the end of this week.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
John Decker, White House Correspondent, also Supreme Court baw Attorney.
As always our pleasure, Thank you, sir. Hopefully we'll talk tomorrow.
All right, You know, all this conversation just so you know,
the timeline viewing of the president begins today where it's
already afternoon in Rome, and then the funeral will take
(22:38):
place Saturday. That's all within the timeline at Saint Peter's Basilica.
Donald Trump announcing President United States, will be present at
the pope's funeral. Then the conclave roughly two weeks out,
and so there's already a ton of speculation as to
who the favorites are. We even went to our Your
Morning Show sportsbook and Big John, who's enjoying his pastry
(23:01):
at coffee this morning, on who the favorites are, and
it appears to be Petro Perlun at thirty seven percent,
Luis Tagol from the Philippines at twenty three percent. My
pic to click was Matteo Zupie. He's at ten percent.
I still like where he's sitting at ten percent in
the middle of the pack. I'm beginning to think it's
(23:22):
Tagel and I think it's going to be Tagel that
might even take the name Francis. The second he would
be the passing of the torch. And again lost in
all of this is the direction of the Church, and
so that's where you know Red and I kind of focus.
There are one hundred and thirty five eligible cardinals in
(23:42):
this conclave to vote. Of the one hundred and thirty five,
eighty percent of them are cardinals appointed by Pope Francis.
So if you happen to be Catholic, or for those
that are following the Catholic Church and wondering if it's
going to go back towards Benedict more conservative or continue
(24:03):
progressive in the direction of Francis. Well, there's about an
eighty percent proclivity. It's going to continue progressive in the
direction of Francis. In fact, there were only twenty two
cardinals left from Pope Benedict's appointment that we'll be voting,
and five from John Paul the Second. So this is
going to be a heavily progressive leaning conclave as the
(24:26):
church is waiting to see who their next pope is
and the direction of the church. And then if that
wasn't enough to chew on, rhet has to make my
head spin with a writing not no straudel Jorno, but
the Nostradamus back in fifteen fifty five apparently issued a
number of grim prophecies for the future of humanity, including
cruel wars, natural disasters, and the return of the plague
(24:50):
or was that Covid? With this gloomy outlook was the
death of a very old pope. That's what makes this
quatrains so difficult to interpret, because what pope that's died
isn't old, what pope that's elected isn't old. Writing in
(25:11):
his famous book of Prophecies, he wrote, through the death
of a very old pontiff a Roman of good age
will be elected.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Could this be the pizza Bala or could this be
my guy zupie madeo Zupi?
Speaker 14 (25:32):
Could we be having for Oh yeah, not again, right,
just passed down on this red Asnsterjorno for you shall be.
Speaker 15 (25:45):
In the year twenty five, twenty five where the Noster
del Garno and the Nostra Damis both sears have sears
see the same thing.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
And the uh Brian did buy the lie.
Speaker 12 (26:01):
Oh proud of me?
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Oh okay, oh mom, I'm coming later today, I promise good.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (26:07):
I had to go to the dentist. All right, God,
I love nitrous oxide.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
What did I say.
Speaker 14 (26:12):
Say something about you and nostristell Giorno Nostra Damas meeting together?
Speaker 9 (26:19):
Well?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yes, because could it be that nos del Giorno, who
likes mateo zoop beat to be elected the next pope?
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Not so much the.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
Pizza ball I can't remember I said what you said.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
But if this is the death of the very old pope,
which all popes are very old when they die, and
a Roman of good age, what was Matteo?
Speaker 6 (26:41):
He's sixties sixties?
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Right?
Speaker 2 (26:44):
The youngest potential next pope is fifty nine. That seems
too young for me. They're not gonna go that young.
But Mateo's right there in the sixties. I would say
that's a good age. A Roman of good age will
be elected of him. It will be said that he
weakens his seat, But long will he sit.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
In activity.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Thomas also hinted at details of the successor of Pope Francis, writing,
A young man of dark skin, with the help of
the Great King, will deliver the purse.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
To another of red color. What did you make of
that one?
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Red? Because I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I mean, here are there are things that point to
Adolf Hitler with noster domas. There are things that point
to nine to eleven what we think points to COVID.
All right, so now we go inside these these people
faces and numbers. If we want to, like exegut the
Quadraine person of color would that? Would that be Luis
(27:53):
Antonio Tago? Maybe the Roman would either be Zupa or Perilyn,
right of the front runners, or maybe.
Speaker 16 (28:02):
Barbista Pizza Bala. We actually have a guy named Pizza Bla.
Why are you doing that? Because you won't talk? You
keep talking to you. I know he won't talk. He
just doesn't say anything. It's like he's a spirit.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
Red do you exist.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Talking?
Speaker 2 (28:19):
What are you like? You're too morbidly shy to speak.
Oh he can't hear. He lost his mic He lost
his mic. Oh he has no microphone. All right, I
think Urdo would be the person of color. Maybe what's
Barbista Pizza Bla? I love that name, Pope Pizza Bla.
(28:43):
Wouldn't that be great?
Speaker 6 (28:44):
I would keep the name Pizza Bala.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
All right, Pizza I gotta do this live because you
can't help me because your microphone doesn't work. Pizza Pizza
Bala in Nashville. No, that's giving me a restaurant. No, No,
he's a parabista. Pizza Bala is the Italian archbishop. Okay,
so he wouldn't be of color, but he would be
(29:10):
Italian and from Rome. So Pizza Bla. I think Pizza Bala,
Zoopie and Perlin would be our best bet. Of the
Roman part of the Italian part of the quadrain. Person
of color has got to be Tapa, right? Is there
any others top candidates of color? This will be interesting
to watch see if Noster del Jorno or Noster Damis
(29:32):
gets it right.
Speaker 6 (29:34):
See if Redeber gets his microphone to work. Did I mention?
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Valerie Burton Ellie is on the show today next hour.
If only I was in junior high, it'd be the
coolest kid in school sitting next to Valerie Burton Ellie.
I was trying to think the other day. Bonnie Franklin,
I think, died in like twenty thirteen. Pat Harrington Junior
(29:58):
died in twenty sixteen. Schneider Jes Schneider. Mackenzie Phillips is
still alive. And of course, when Valerie Bertinelli started One
Day at a time, she was fifteen years old.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
We'll find out how she got hired for that job.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
And her latest job BINGO Blitz on the Game show
Network and Lieutenant Colonel James Carafino's back. We'll talk about
the signal chat leak. We'll also talk about the nuke
talks with Iron. When your morning show continues.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
This is your morning show with Michael del Trono. I
am Michael del Jorno, and this is your morning show.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
All right, So the Nostradamus now that Red's microphone miraculously
works when we're off the air, all right, So the
only and when I say top candidate he's I mean,
we're at one percent. We had somebody call up on
the talkback line asking about Raymond Burke, the American from Wisconsin.
(30:50):
He is at one percent chance of being the next Pope.
So there's your answer. He is in the discussion. But
at one percent. Friddling Ambongo Busogu is at one percent
as well. This is the only person at one percent
or more of color. So if Noster Damas is going
to be right, it's got to be Busongu. Right, Is
(31:12):
there any other unless we're going to refer to somebody
from the Philippines says of color, then Luis Antonio Tego
at twenty three percent would be your front runner. But
at some point it's going to be young. So in
the case of Bisungu trying to remember how old he was,
Robert Sarah is at two and what's his age though,
(31:37):
oh I don't know, like Busongu is trying to find
where it says his age. Another Pope Francis appointee sixty
five that would be considered young for Pope Busongu would
fit the noster domas the most right. Jorno says, Matteo
(31:58):
Zupi or Pizza Bala Pierre Bautista Pizza Bala. I'm going
with those two. This is Nostru del Jennal versus Nostre Domis.
I'm just trying to get everything straight. So if Nostr
del Journal's right, it's going to be Zoopie or Pizza Bala.
If noster Domas is right, it almost has to be Butanga.
(32:19):
But I don't know what king he'd be working with
to make nos domis right. A toad board obviously, Trump, well,
he will be attending the funeral, all right. President Trump
will attend the funeral. Pope Francis. Bryan Shook has the
latest done that.
Speaker 8 (32:35):
The President made the announcement on truth Social Monday. The
College of Cardinals will meet Tuesday to discuss funeral plans.
Trump said he and the First Lady are looking forward
to being there. The Vatican said on Monday, the eighty
eight year old pontiff died from a stroke.
Speaker 6 (32:52):
I'm Brian Shuk.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court will decide a case that could
have an impact on whether preventative treatment care for diabetes, screening,
HIV prevention drugs are covered under the Affordable Care Act.
Speaker 6 (33:03):
Tammy Trihello has more.
Speaker 10 (33:05):
That issue in the case. Ord Monday is the status
of the members of the US Preventive Services Task Force
under the healthcare law signed by President Obama in twenty ten.
What gets covered relies on the recommendation of experts like
those on the task Force. Last year, a federal appeals
court held that the members of the task Force aren't
properly appointed, which would throw the insurance company requirement of
(33:25):
following their recommendations in doubt. A decision from the High
Court is expected this summer. I'm Tammy Triheo.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Harvard University is suing the Trump administration in an effort
to block the government from freezing funding to the school.
Speaker 6 (33:38):
Mark Mayfield has the details.
Speaker 7 (33:39):
The lawsuit, which was filed in a US district court
in Massachusetts against multiple federal agencies, is looking to block
the administration from withholding funding for what it calls leverage
to gain control of academic decision making at Harvard. Earlier Monday,
the Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump administration is
planning to pull an additional one billion dollars in funding
from the university. The White House had previously said it
(34:01):
was freezing over.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Two point two billion dollars in contracts and grants after
failing to meet demands, including eliminating DEI programs. Meanwhile, the
IRS is moving to take away the tax exempt status
from Harvard am Mark NEATHHEEWD.
Speaker 6 (34:14):
We're all in this together. This is Your Morning Show

Speaker 1 (00:34):
This is your morning show with Michael Odell Jordan.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
The Vatican has announced the cause of death for Pope Francis,
a stroke. Meanwhile, funeral services are set for Saint Peter's
Basilica Saturday at conclave in two weeks. President Trump announcing
he'll be at the funeral on Saturday in Rome. White
House is denying a report that it's looking in to
replaced Defense Secretary hech Seth. And opening bell rings this
(01:03):
morning after stocks plunged yesterday to start the week, It's
eight minutes after the hour, and thanks for waking up
with your morning show on the air and streaming live
on your iHeartRadio app. I'm Michael del Jorna. Roy O'Neil
is their national correspondent. A new study is out on
how people feel about their personal financial situation, and there
are some surprises in this whoop them on us, Rory.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Hey, Michael, Good morning.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Just thirteen percent of Americans in this survey say they
feel quote very good unquote about their current financial situation
thirteen percent. But more and more say this is now
the time to start getting the financial house in order.
There are growing concerns about an uncertain economy in the
months ahead. Most Americans seventy four percent still manage their
(01:48):
own finances, but only have have strong confidence in their
own abilities, so they're not taking action to.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Change those numbers around.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
So a bit of a mixed message here, but overall, well,
a lot of American is pretty uncertain as their financial
future is unfamily.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I was going to say this, so much of this
is based on individual human perception.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
I don't know. I'm at my age.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I don't know that there was ever Well, I go
back to my first radio job, orright, made sixteen thousand
dollars a year, and I lived a mile away from
the dairy Queen. My rent was two hundred and two dollars.
My Aaron rents furniture was sixty four. I mean those
are good times, but I mean I don't know that
the average person ever really feels good about where they're
(02:33):
at financially. Is this something we kind of track and trend?
You can learn more from the trend than the actual numbers.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Yeah, from this survey. I don't think so, in particular
from this group. But I think that it also depends
significantly on at what age you're being.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Asked these questions.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Right sure, you know, are you seventy years old at
being asked this? Or are you twenty five with that
first radio job that still pays about sixteen thousand dollars
a year. But it does also I think it's more
predictive of how Americans are feeling a snapshot of today
and maybe the year or two ahead. Because the top
financial goals for Americans right now include saving money that's
(03:10):
fifty three percent, reducing debt is thirty two percent, and
getting that emergency fund pumped up that's about twenty seven percent.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Well, at least you're getting their priorities right. You know,
it used to be having a home, the American dream,
having that home paid off. Now I think people kind
of view a home as just something, as a necessary debt,
and they're really kind of moving on to that six
month saving plan because of the insecurity people are feeling
with the economy. I just I wonder how much of
(03:38):
their view of the economy you see in their view
of their own finances.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Absolutely, Plus, you know the shock of COVID, and a
lot of people are probably saying, oh, I don't know,
my money wasn't great then, I don't want it to
get worse again. Now that's still fresh in the minds
of many, So I think people are seeing again with
these tariff negotiations that are happening and all this uncertainty.
I think people are freshly reminded of some of the
turmoil that was experienced during during.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
COVID and are trying to take appropriate steps.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
It's funny when you have kids, you want to see
them avoid the mistakes you made, and then you can
just see the writing on the wall. They're going to
make all the same mistakes because you know, I try
to tell them. First thing you do is get a
roth ira and start saving even at a young age
or when you get you know, your first real job,
and if they offer a four oh one k, put
money in that four oh one k, get that six
(04:27):
month reserve and then spend as you have it rather
than building debt. But then there's always the things that
life throws at you. You you know, for people our age,
we had that big economic downturn, the greatest recessions at
the Great Depression in two thousand and six and eight.
We all had to dig our way out of that.
Then we had to dig our way out of COVID.
There's things that can happen outside of the control. And
now I find myself way more interested in what your
(04:48):
first radio job.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
Was and would it be?
Speaker 4 (04:53):
It was?
Speaker 5 (04:53):
It was in a renovated chicken coop where I could
only stand up straight in half the building at my
six point six frame.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, I think it did. Like seven bucks an hour
was my first part. And seriously, remember how happy we were.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Those were good time, yes, although it did teach me
how to, you know, talk up a clock until the
top of the hour.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
That's right, and we just talked up to your top.
Roy and Neil is going to be back in the
third hour right after our did I mention Valie Burton
Elly is on the show today, have made note of
that a cop Right right after Valerie Burton Elly, we'll
talk about Wall Street. It's begun another roller coaster week
with I don't even remember yesterday. I lost track when
we were down about seven hundred. We ended up the
(05:35):
Dow down nine to seventy one. Nasdaq was down four
hundred and fifteen, the SMP was down one twenty four,
just zooming in on the on the Dow, if we
kind of.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Look at.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
When was a big crash, it was two weeks ago,
right somewhere around there, and then we built ourselves back.
So we went down to thirty seven nine four, and
now we're at thirty eight one seventy. Not back to
that complete low yet, but not off to a good start.
So we'll see if the market rallies back when the
abuzza sounds. We were doing polls of plenty earlier and
(06:09):
I wanted to follow up with one. One is how
stupid is the Democrat leadership?
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Literally?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
The other is how stupid are Democrat voters in California.
So if you weren't listening to the Platinum card Hour.
It was part of our Sounds of the day. Jesse
Waters asked New Gingrid, Seriously, have you ever and this
is a man who is a history professor, have you
ever seen such a political blunder where the Democrats are
all in on such a losing issue. You just don't
(06:43):
see the two major parties make this big of blunders.
And the Democrats aren't just all that. I mean, they
quadrupled down on stupid sending four more members of Congress
on taxpayer's dime back to Al Salvador, back to double
down on this MS thirteen gang member who's been deported.
(07:04):
And so we said, well, look at the latest Rasmusen
poll and think about how many things eight and ten
and Americans agree on, and this is one of them.
Seventy nine percent of likely US voters believe it's important
that illegal immigrants who commit crimes in America be deported,
and that include fifty six percent who consider it very important.
In fact, for Van Holland and the four more Democrats
(07:27):
that went to El Salvador, only seventeen percent.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
One point seven out of ten don't.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Think it's important. This is a political losing issue for them,
and they're all in. In fact, in this research, sixty
six percent strongly agree with Burkel's quote about the need
to liberate Americans from crime majorities of every political category.
Ninety percent of Republicans of court, of course, support the
(07:57):
deportation of these criminals. And I'm not just talking about
the criminal active breaking into the country illegally, but committing
felony crimes.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
After you've done that, like a gang member.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Ninety percent of Republicans, sixty nine percent of Democrats think
it's important. And then here's the real kiss of death.
Seventy six percent of voters not affiliated with either major
party think it's important. This is a losing issue for
the Democrats, even among their own voters. Ninety two percent
of those who voted for Donald Trump think it's important
(08:28):
that illegal immigrants who commit crimes in America should be deported.
Even sixty four percent of those who voted for Kamala
Harris think it's important. Sixty five percent of whites, seventy
six percent of Blacks, sixty seven percent of Hispanics. And
I'm to say how male black voters and Hispanic voters
and Asian voters have been hemorrhaging and leaving the party.
(08:50):
It's such a losing issue to quad druple down on
to start the week. But now let's turn to California.
Or it's not just the Democrat Party doing something stupid.
Apparently most Californians favor bankruptcy.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
And hire taxes. I would imagine Kamala Harris is a
showing to be their governor.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Why do I say that most California voters support the
state's efforts to increase health care coverage for migrants without
legal status. So you want to give health care benefits
to illegals. That's one point three billion dollars in California alone.
It's why you're bankrupt. According to a new survey from
(09:39):
the University of California, Berkeley, twenty one percent of surveyed
voters believe the states should continue to offer what they
can't afford Medicaid coverage to migrants without legal status, even
if it means they'll be cuts elsewhere in the budget.
I mean, we were looking at blue states during the election,
and we were fascinated In New York. We're in New
(10:01):
York City, you had a mayor that gets it. In Illinois, Chicago,
it's largest city, a mirror that didn't get it, and
the people did. And so you had the people going
to the city council meetings, to the councilors and to
the mayor saying, you can't have all these illegals. They're
(10:24):
overrunning our resources, our facilities.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
This must stop. And the council in the maryror wouldn't listen.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
In Chicago, in New York, you had a mayor that
got it and the people that wouldn't listen. And now
here we are, once again in the blue state of California.
I guess somebody could yell at the radio. Well, that's
pretty much all that's left there now is stupid. Everybody
else has left. I'll never forget the one of the
(10:54):
best Saraenadlin bits ever. They were sitting at a kitchen
table and this guy's got a new book out. I
think it was Steve Martin, wouldn't it don't spend money
you don't have. First of all, you don't have the money.
So to twenty one percent of those surveyed, I would say,
you're broke, you're bankrupt, you're taxed to death, and this
(11:15):
is one point two billion you don't have.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
How do you.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Expect to continue to provide this, thirty two percent of
respondent say California should continue offering the program two migrants
without legal status, but if budget cuts are deemed necessary
to make it work, people in the cot in the
country legally should receive the priority. So you got thirty
two percent say, well, obviously we can't afford this, and
when push comes to shove, let's give at least a
(11:41):
nod a priority to those who are legal. And then
thirty one percent say California should never have opened its
Medicaid coverage to migrants without legal status. Just thirty one
percent in this survey get what you can't afford. It
is fascinating, I think. I mean, we've got a Democrat party,
(12:06):
and I really, I firmly believe that one or both
parties would be gone by the end of the decade.
And it sure looks like it's a Democrat party. If
the socialist Democrat justice Democrats have their way, it'll be the.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
It'll be the way of the parasite.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
The parasite will defeat the host, the host will die,
and the parasite will die with a host. In other words,
they'll destroy the party from within. But they don't have
a leader, and they don't have a message, and how
this is playing out in some of their states. By
the way, all these mass exoduses from these states are
going to impact the electoral College because it's going to
(12:47):
impact the makeup of how many members from Congress come
from each date. That's already a peril they face. By
twenty thirty, the end of the decade. Translation, some of
these blue states are turning purple. Some of these blue
states won't be as important as they used to be.
But it is fun while it's happening. You just keep
(13:08):
an eye on where the party doesn't get it and
the people do, where the people don't get it and
the party might, and then in California where neither seem
to get it. That's your polls of plenty for this Tuesday,
April the twenty second, we come back to Top five stories.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Of the day. It's your Morning Show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 2 (13:32):

Speaker 6 (14:00):
Sarah le Kessler reports.
Speaker 9 (14:02):

her husband, a go between demanding and collecting bribery payments
(14:23):

Google continues to defend itself in court after a federal
court ruled the tech giant operates a monopoly.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
The Department of Justice is proposing a package of remedies
to end the tech giants illegal monopoly and restore competition.
The hearing started on Monday. It will determine if the
company can remain in its current form or we'll have
to face penalties like selling off its Chrome web browser.
Google argues it's being punished for innovation. The hearings expected
to last about three weeks. I'm Tammy Trheo.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
I'm thinking of President Reagan.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Today we celebrate a humble candy we've been eating since
the Civil War, pree tennis with Moron National Jellybean Day.
Speaker 11 (15:15):
Jelly beans have been to space. It was a President's favorite,
and it's the first candy ever to be sold by weight,
and we love them. According to candystore dot Com, last year,
Americans eight sixteen billion jelly beans and they're not really
bad for US. One jelly beans, four calories. They're vegetarian,
gluten free, kosher, and free of most allergens. And when
you eat them the burst of sugar releases and doorphins
(15:36):
that make you happy. So have another jelly bean. I'm
bre tennis.

Jones it cracked me up.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Vatican says Pope Francis died of a stroke. He'll be
lying in state for viewing beginning this afternoon. The funeral
will be Saturday at Saint Peter's Basilica. The President Donald
Trumps announced on social media he will be there for
the funeral. Conclave coming in two weeks. Defense Secretary Pete
Hegsat blasting what he calls disgruntled employees over the latest
(18:32):
signal controversy or is it a fictitious legacy media nonsense campaign?
White House correspondent John Decker Always in the thick of things,
what do we got going here? And don't we have
better things to be focused on? But did Pete have
another signal crisis? Or is this manufactured?
Speaker 12 (18:53):
Well, I don't know what part is manufactured.
Speaker 13 (18:56):
You know, I've seen these things play out before, in.
Speaker 12 (18:59):
Which a story appears in immedia publication and instead of
denying the story, the individual who's the focus of the
story attacks the media, attacks the authors, attacks the leakers,
but no denial. And that to me is a very
interesting read as it relates to what has happened with
this New York Times story in which they write of
(19:22):
another signal chat that happened with Pete hegset in which
he shared a very I would guess you would call
it sensitive information regarding the impending attack on who they
rebels by the US military and Yemen. Included on that
group chat his wife. I don't know why his wife
would need to be pretty to such a conversation, but
(19:43):
according to this story, she was included in it. And
that's the reason why you have some calling for Pete
Hegseth's resignation of calling on the President to fire him,
including Republican Congressman Don Bacon of Nebraska. You know, I
don't know if that means anything. The President expressed his
support for Pete Hegseth despite all of this, But it's
(20:04):
another example of.
Speaker 13 (20:05):
You know, I guess you could call it carelessness in
terms of having conversations on an unsecured app regarding national
security information.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
And then you bring in, because it's not really just
attack the media without denying it, there's this conversation of
disgruntled leaking employees who have since been removed. So there's
that aspect of it too, right, Well, there is.
Speaker 12 (20:31):
You know, and I mean, I guess that's what disgruntled
employees do I've been a disgruntled employees.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
I haven't done that yet, but i'd like it. In fact,
let's break some stories on Cumulus. No, I'm kidding, Go.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Ahead, let's do that.
Speaker 12 (20:44):
Uh No, but you know that's obviously perhaps where the
sources or source of this story is is individuals that
formerly were hired by Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon serving
in various.
Speaker 13 (20:59):
Capacities at the penn who have.
Speaker 12 (21:01):
Been relieved of their duties, or individuals lost their jobs
last week because of I guess you could say they
were not confident. Individuals at the highest levels were not
confident in those in those individuals continuing.
Speaker 13 (21:17):
To serve in their capacities at the Pentagon.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
John Deckers are White House correspondent joining us. Sorry, So
for those that are looking at the radio saying John,
is this did this happen timeline wise the same time
as the first infraction? Meaning is this a you know,
same time period, same mistake, second time?
Speaker 6 (21:37):
Yes? Yeah, so I mean.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
This this still So the way I was gonna ask
the question, is this.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Strike two or still strike one but just a worse swing.
Speaker 13 (21:45):
That's a very good question. I'm not I'm not the
President of the United States.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
He makes those calls.
Speaker 12 (21:50):
You know, he's the umpire in terms of whether it's
strike wind or strike too. Obviously, members of Congress want
to weigh in, but it's the member. It's the president
who determines whether or not a member of his cabinet
continues to have his support, continues to have his confidence.
And yesterday he expressed his confidence in Pete Hegsath So
to me, I don't know whether it's strike one or
(22:11):
strike too. To me, the story likely goes away by
the end of this week.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
John Decker, White House Correspondent, also Supreme Court baw Attorney.
As always our pleasure, Thank you, sir. Hopefully we'll talk tomorrow.
All right, You know, all this conversation just so you know,
the timeline viewing of the president begins today where it's
already afternoon in Rome, and then the funeral will take
(22:38):
place Saturday. That's all within the timeline at Saint Peter's Basilica.
Donald Trump announcing President United States, will be present at
the pope's funeral. Then the conclave roughly two weeks out,
and so there's already a ton of speculation as to
who the favorites are. We even went to our Your
Morning Show sportsbook and Big John, who's enjoying his pastry
(23:01):
at coffee this morning, on who the favorites are, and
it appears to be Petro Perlun at thirty seven percent,
Luis Tagol from the Philippines at twenty three percent. My
pic to click was Matteo Zupie. He's at ten percent.
I still like where he's sitting at ten percent in
the middle of the pack. I'm beginning to think it's
(23:22):
Tagel and I think it's going to be Tagel that
might even take the name Francis. The second he would
be the passing of the torch. And again lost in
all of this is the direction of the Church, and
so that's where you know Red and I kind of focus.
There are one hundred and thirty five eligible cardinals in
(23:42):
this conclave to vote. Of the one hundred and thirty five,
eighty percent of them are cardinals appointed by Pope Francis.
So if you happen to be Catholic, or for those
that are following the Catholic Church and wondering if it's
going to go back towards Benedict more conservative or continue
(24:03):
progressive in the direction of Francis. Well, there's about an
eighty percent proclivity. It's going to continue progressive in the
direction of Francis. In fact, there were only twenty two
cardinals left from Pope Benedict's appointment that we'll be voting,
and five from John Paul the Second. So this is
going to be a heavily progressive leaning conclave as the
(24:26):
church is waiting to see who their next pope is
and the direction of the church. And then if that
wasn't enough to chew on, rhet has to make my
head spin with a writing not no straudel Jorno, but
the Nostradamus back in fifteen fifty five apparently issued a
number of grim prophecies for the future of humanity, including
cruel wars, natural disasters, and the return of the plague
(24:50):
or was that Covid? With this gloomy outlook was the
death of a very old pope. That's what makes this
quatrains so difficult to interpret, because what pope that's died
isn't old, what pope that's elected isn't old. Writing in
(25:11):
his famous book of Prophecies, he wrote, through the death
of a very old pontiff a Roman of good age
will be elected.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Could this be the pizza Bala or could this be
my guy zupie madeo Zupi?
Speaker 14 (25:32):
Could we be having for Oh yeah, not again, right,
just passed down on this red Asnsterjorno for you shall be.
Speaker 15 (25:45):
In the year twenty five, twenty five where the Noster
del Garno and the Nostra Damis both sears have sears
see the same thing.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
And the uh Brian did buy the lie.
Speaker 12 (26:01):
Oh proud of me?
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Oh okay, oh mom, I'm coming later today, I promise good.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (26:07):
I had to go to the dentist. All right, God,
I love nitrous oxide.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
What did I say.
Speaker 14 (26:12):
Say something about you and nostristell Giorno Nostra Damas meeting together?
Speaker 9 (26:19):
Well?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yes, because could it be that nos del Giorno, who
likes mateo zoop beat to be elected the next pope?
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Not so much the.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
Pizza ball I can't remember I said what you said.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
But if this is the death of the very old pope,
which all popes are very old when they die, and
a Roman of good age, what was Matteo?
Speaker 6 (26:41):
He's sixties sixties?
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Right?
Speaker 2 (26:44):
The youngest potential next pope is fifty nine. That seems
too young for me. They're not gonna go that young.
But Mateo's right there in the sixties. I would say
that's a good age. A Roman of good age will
be elected of him. It will be said that he
weakens his seat, But long will he sit.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
In activity.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Thomas also hinted at details of the successor of Pope Francis, writing,
A young man of dark skin, with the help of
the Great King, will deliver the purse.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
To another of red color. What did you make of
that one?
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Red? Because I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I mean, here are there are things that point to
Adolf Hitler with noster domas. There are things that point
to nine to eleven what we think points to COVID.
All right, so now we go inside these these people
faces and numbers. If we want to, like exegut the
Quadraine person of color would that? Would that be Luis
(27:53):
Antonio Tago? Maybe the Roman would either be Zupa or Perilyn,
right of the front runners, or maybe.
Speaker 16 (28:02):
Barbista Pizza Bala. We actually have a guy named Pizza Bla.
Why are you doing that? Because you won't talk? You
keep talking to you. I know he won't talk. He
just doesn't say anything. It's like he's a spirit.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
Red do you exist.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Talking?
Speaker 2 (28:19):
What are you like? You're too morbidly shy to speak.
Oh he can't hear. He lost his mic He lost
his mic. Oh he has no microphone. All right, I
think Urdo would be the person of color. Maybe what's
Barbista Pizza Bla? I love that name, Pope Pizza Bla.
(28:43):
Wouldn't that be great?
Speaker 6 (28:44):
I would keep the name Pizza Bala.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
All right, Pizza I gotta do this live because you
can't help me because your microphone doesn't work. Pizza Pizza
Bala in Nashville. No, that's giving me a restaurant. No, No,
he's a parabista. Pizza Bala is the Italian archbishop. Okay,
so he wouldn't be of color, but he would be
(29:10):
Italian and from Rome. So Pizza Bla. I think Pizza Bala,
Zoopie and Perlin would be our best bet. Of the
Roman part of the Italian part of the quadrain. Person
of color has got to be Tapa, right? Is there
any others top candidates of color? This will be interesting
to watch see if Noster del Jorno or Noster Damis
(29:32):
gets it right.
Speaker 6 (29:34):
See if Redeber gets his microphone to work. Did I mention?
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Valerie Burton Ellie is on the show today next hour.
If only I was in junior high, it'd be the
coolest kid in school sitting next to Valerie Burton Ellie.
I was trying to think the other day. Bonnie Franklin,
I think, died in like twenty thirteen. Pat Harrington Junior
(29:58):
died in twenty sixteen. Schneider Jes Schneider. Mackenzie Phillips is
still alive. And of course, when Valerie Bertinelli started One
Day at a time, she was fifteen years old.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
We'll find out how she got hired for that job.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
And her latest job BINGO Blitz on the Game show
Network and Lieutenant Colonel James Carafino's back. We'll talk about
the signal chat leak. We'll also talk about the nuke
talks with Iron. When your morning show continues.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
This is your morning show with Michael del Trono. I
am Michael del Jorno, and this is your morning show.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
All right, So the Nostradamus now that Red's microphone miraculously
works when we're off the air, all right, So the
only and when I say top candidate he's I mean,
we're at one percent. We had somebody call up on
the talkback line asking about Raymond Burke, the American from Wisconsin.
(30:50):
He is at one percent chance of being the next Pope.
So there's your answer. He is in the discussion. But
at one percent. Friddling Ambongo Busogu is at one percent
as well. This is the only person at one percent
or more of color. So if Noster Damas is going
to be right, it's got to be Busongu. Right, Is
(31:12):
there any other unless we're going to refer to somebody
from the Philippines says of color, then Luis Antonio Tego
at twenty three percent would be your front runner. But
at some point it's going to be young. So in
the case of Bisungu trying to remember how old he was,
Robert Sarah is at two and what's his age though,
(31:37):
oh I don't know, like Busongu is trying to find
where it says his age. Another Pope Francis appointee sixty
five that would be considered young for Pope Busongu would
fit the noster domas the most right. Jorno says, Matteo
(31:58):
Zupi or Pizza Bala Pierre Bautista Pizza Bala. I'm going
with those two. This is Nostru del Jennal versus Nostre Domis.
I'm just trying to get everything straight. So if Nostr
del Journal's right, it's going to be Zoopie or Pizza Bala.
If noster Domas is right, it almost has to be Butanga.
(32:19):
But I don't know what king he'd be working with
to make nos domis right. A toad board obviously, Trump, well,
he will be attending the funeral, all right. President Trump
will attend the funeral. Pope Francis. Bryan Shook has the
latest done that.
Speaker 8 (32:35):
The President made the announcement on truth Social Monday. The
College of Cardinals will meet Tuesday to discuss funeral plans.
Trump said he and the First Lady are looking forward
to being there. The Vatican said on Monday, the eighty
eight year old pontiff died from a stroke.
Speaker 6 (32:52):
I'm Brian Shuk.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court will decide a case that could
have an impact on whether preventative treatment care for diabetes, screening,
HIV prevention drugs are covered under the Affordable Care Act.
Speaker 6 (33:03):
Tammy Trihello has more.
Speaker 10 (33:05):
That issue in the case. Ord Monday is the status
of the members of the US Preventive Services Task Force
under the healthcare law signed by President Obama in twenty ten.
What gets covered relies on the recommendation of experts like
those on the task Force. Last year, a federal appeals
court held that the members of the task Force aren't
properly appointed, which would throw the insurance company requirement of
(33:25):
following their recommendations in doubt. A decision from the High
Court is expected this summer. I'm Tammy Triheo.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Harvard University is suing the Trump administration in an effort
to block the government from freezing funding to the school.
Speaker 6 (33:38):
Mark Mayfield has the details.
Speaker 7 (33:39):
The lawsuit, which was filed in a US district court
in Massachusetts against multiple federal agencies, is looking to block
the administration from withholding funding for what it calls leverage
to gain control of academic decision making at Harvard. Earlier Monday,
the Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump administration is
planning to pull an additional one billion dollars in funding
from the university. The White House had previously said it
(34:01):
was freezing over.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Two point two billion dollars in contracts and grants after
failing to meet demands, including eliminating DEI programs. Meanwhile, the
IRS is moving to take away the tax exempt status
from Harvard am Mark NEATHHEEWD.
