Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show airs live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happier here now.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Enjoy the podcast, Well two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
This is your Morning Show with Michael gil Chorna.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Seven minutes after the hour, Welcome to Wednesday, the twenty
third of April.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Do you know eighteen years ago I moved to Nashville,
Tennessee Today, no kidding?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Yeah, I got the rest of my family by two weeks.
You took over first Da chilled. Two weeks you took
over for G. Gordon Lyddy. Is that correct?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
G Gordon Lyddy? Yeah? How about that Watergate fame?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, eighteen years in Middle Tennessee feels good. Welcome to Wednesday,
April of twenty third. Donald Trump made it crystal clear
the President has no intention of firing Federal Reserve Chief
Jerome Powell. I don't believe he ever said anything that
even remotely sounded like he wanted to fire him. You
want him to lower interest rates. And he made that
(01:18):
crystal clear yesterday. Hopefully, of course that doesn't you know,
nothing releases narratives anymore, so I guess they'll just continue
with it. But I don't think the President could have
been more clear. My son asked me a great question.
I interrupted, Did Joe Biden do this many news conferences?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Do you remember we waited sixty four days for Joe
Biden to do his first news conference.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Donald Trump does him daily.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yesterday was talking about a highly respected big beautiful Eggs,
Big affordable Eggs. He was talking about not firing Jerome Powell,
not firing Pete hag Seth, the great deals that are
coming in, the willingness to work with China but not
be taken advantage of by China.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
It was quite a news conference.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
But I think the big takeaway is anybody that's trying
to spook the market into believing that the President would
in some way fire the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Paul.
He made that clear yesterday. That is not his intention,
never was his intention, though he does think he needs
is a.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Good time to lower rates.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
White House said, President Trump completely stands behind Pete hagg Seth.
So whatever the media narrative or desperate left narrative to
try to get Pete hegg Seth as low hanging fruit,
it's not working. And then the Department of Education with
(02:49):
it a major announcement they're going to resume collection of
defaulted student loan debt. People took these loans and they
have a trillion dollar responsibility to pay them back, and
the White House is reversing its course of action.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
That announcement was made yesterday. All right, that's kind of that.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
And then Francis wo Lion State at Saint Peter's Basilica
again today and he let Musk indicating that he'll be
spending a lot less time with DOES starting in May.
May would be roughly that what was it, one hundred
and thirty days or whatever the commitment was, So that
shouldn't be a surprise to anybody.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
All right, So that's the news.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I bring all that up because here's what's really important
that's going on.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
It should be the news, but rarely is.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Sadly, there appears to be a fundamental shift in hate
crime landscape in America, and if you look at the
triggers for this. It starts with the October seventh Hamas
attack on Israel. Now, during the campaign, we used to
say the Democrats have an eye problem, an Israel problem. Well,
(03:56):
it turns out a portion of if America does too,
especially at the university level. Now remember, for the longest time,
speaking of landscapes, what was the apparatus of leftist control
in this country. Well, the intelligency at the university all
(04:19):
the way to K through twelve.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Common education in the seventies, it was. It was the universities.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
The past decade, it's been Heck, they'll show up at
the delivery room if you let them try to take
your children from you. But the intelligency was a big
part of that. The legacy, mainstream media was a big
part of that. Hollywood was a big part of that.
These are all the walls that have come crumbling down,
and maybe the last.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Wall is at the university level. So think about.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Because this is going to just knock you right off
your breakfast chair. October seventh, Hamas just invades a sovereign nation, Israel,
and for the purposes of ancient hatred, just start raping, slaughtering,
and killing innocent people. That's the event that triggered this,
(05:16):
and what's happening at our universities in America? Are we
siding with Israel the victim, the democracies surrounded by crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
No, not only no.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
The number of anti Semitic incidents in the United States
has surged almost nine hundred percent in the last ten years.
Problem that preceded the October seventh invasion and continued after
and last year highest level recorded in a half a century.
(05:55):
Anti Semitic incidents of skyrocketed since the October seventh AMAS attacks,
the pretext for the Trump administration to later threaten college
funding and revoke visas for students, and of course the
left goes crazy. Trump is the Nazi, not the universities.
(06:18):
The annual adl Audit recorded nine thousand, three hundred and
fifty four incidents of anti Semitic assault, harassment, and vandalism.
The total represents a five percent increase from twenty twenty
three and an eight hundred and ninety three percent jump
over the past ten years. A majority of all incidents
(06:44):
fifty eight percent, were related to Israel. More than six thousand,
five hundred incidents involved harassment language that included anti Semitic slurs, stereotypes,
and trumps. More than twenty six hundred incidents involved vandalism
to find it case. This is where property was actually
damaged graffiti Shwastika's arson. The ADL also recorded one thousand,
(07:11):
six hundred and ninety four anti Semitic incidents and college campuses.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
You know, wouldn't it be funny if Donald Trump came
up with this idea.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
All student loans must be repaid except at Ivy League
universities with.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Anti Semitism running rampant.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
The ADL said it did not count criticism of Israel
as anti Semitic incidents, but it did count incidents as
anti semitic if someone called for the destruction of Israel
or use of anti semitic tropes in discussing Israel.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Not a question of the day.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
What happened at our universities to our universities like the
Democrat Party, and of course he answers, yes, have an
Israel problem. Anti Semitism of nine percent in a decade,
We have an anti Semitism problem. I have the nickname
(08:18):
noster Del Journal for a reason. I told you AOC
is coming. Today's pull of plenty points to AOC. Do
you remember in the original Twister, which is hard to
distinguish from the second Twister, it was the.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Exact same plot line with just different actors.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
But don't forget the famous line for the original Twister,
there's Traaino coming, It's already here, and then it starts
coming right through.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
The the movie screen.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
In the case of AOC, she's not coming, She's already here.
Bartender hand selected by the Justice Democrat Movement to take
out a ten term Democrat member of Congress because their
goal is to first take over the Democrat Party, then
(09:06):
eliminate the Electoral College, then dismantle the Republic. And if
Bernie Sanders was the people's choice in twenty sixteen twenty twenty,
probably would have been again in twenty twenty four, but
they didn't get a say. AOC has had the torch
(09:30):
pass to her, so I can tell you she's going
to be the leading candidate for the Democratic nomination for
President of the United States, and the DNC will search
to scramble, and just as they replace Bernie with Hillary,
then with Joe, then with Kamala, they'll scramble to replace AOC.
(09:52):
But it'll be AOC. They have to scramble to replace
from bartender to presidential candidate only in America. Chuckie Schumer's
latest polling numbers. You know this is optional, I think
for them, but likely just as they took Barack Obama
(10:14):
from the state legislature in Illinois, plopped him in the
US Senate, then sixty days later had him run for president,
where he would go on to win and serve two terms.
I think the plan is AOC to create the momentum,
not by writing a book, but by sending shock waves
(10:34):
and knocking Chuckie Schumer out of the US Senate and
then sixty days later begin her run for president. Chuckie
Schumer's Siena College polling, he has a thirty nine percent
favorability rating of forty nine percent unfavorability rating with New
York State voters. It's the worst showing by Schumer in
(10:57):
twenty years of Siena College polling. To make matters worse, AOC,
the four term democrat from New York City and progressive
(11:18):
champion era apparent to Bernie Sanders Empire, stands at forty
seven percent favorable thirty three percent unfavorability rating and according
to the poll sixty four percent of Democrats view AOC favorably.
Crockett has stepped into the role of AOC. AOC is
(11:41):
stepping into the role as the leader of the Democrat Party,
certainly the heir apparent of the Bernie Sanders Justice Socialist Coalition,
and she will be the early and long front runner
for the Democratic nomination in twenty twenty eight. As a
Democrat search for lead and messages. The White House claims
(12:03):
it has eighteen trade proposals on paper and that the
team is meeting with some thirty four countries again this week.
The market seemed to respond greatly yesterday, and could the
United States Supreme Court be poised to rule once again
in common sense and with parents on LGBTQ material in
(12:27):
elementary schools. These are some of the stories we're going
to kick around between now and the end of the
third hour.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
David and I is going to be joining us.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Our senior contributor will have Sounds of the day are
Emmy Award winning Speaking of that, By the way, do
I have time to do this real quick?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Sure?

It's your Morning Show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
But if you're just waking up, President Trump says China
has to make a deal.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
They just have to make it.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Speaking from the White House, Trump said China needs to
sell it's goods to the US, and he's confident they'll
come to the bargaining table.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
I'm not going to say, oh, I'm going to play
hard roll with China. I'm going to play hardball with you.
President She No, No, We're going to be very nice.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
They're going to be very nice.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
He added that the US is losing two trillion dollars
in trade across the globe and those days are over.
Trump said the US is getting ripped off by almost
every country.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
The Department of Education will resume collecting defaulted student loans.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Brian Shook reports.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
The department announced collections will begin on May fifth, and
borrowers could be referred to debt collectors or have money
deducted from their paychecks. Student loan repayment requirements were paused
in March twenty twenty due to the COVID nineteen pandemic.
The Biden administration opted not to resume collections and attempted
to forgive student loan debt in a program that was
(14:57):
ultimately struck down by the Supreme Court. The Trump administration
has indicated it would offer no such concessions to borrowers.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I'm Brian Shook. Finally some news that affects me.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
The artificial dyes used in flaming hot Cheetos and other snacks.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
They're going bye bye.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
The FDA announced Tuesday it's phasing out the petroleum based
synthetic dies by the end of the year. Additives like
red Dye forty give candy, sports drings, and chips the
right color of the detract shoppers. The changes will affect
a grocery cart full of foods from PepsiCo, General Mills
and Kellogg's. FDA Commissioner Marty McCarey's at a news conference
that American kids have increasingly been living in a toxic
(15:36):
soup of synthetic chemicals for last fifty years. I'm Tammy
Trichio toxic soup.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Well.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
A show by Carlos Santana was postponed after the legendary
guitarist was rushed to the hospital.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Everybody relaxed. It was just dehydration.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
The seventy seven year old rock and Roll Hall of
Famer was preparing for the show suffered dehydration. The show
was postponed out of an abundance of Russian spokesperson out
of the Santana is doing well and is looking forward
to coming back to San Antonio soon and continuing his
US tour. Finally, the hotel that inspired the horror classic,
The Shining is making major upgrades three hundred million dollars
(16:17):
worth of upgrades, new rooms, events center, a horror museum.
It's all a part of the Sundance Film Festivals moved
to Colorado. And who wouldn't want to stay in a
haunted hotel. There's your top five stories Waking up this morning.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Hey, this is Jeff from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael Devjorno.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Hi, it's Michael. Your Morning Show could be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am six to nine am
Eastern in great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Enjoyed the podcast, Rise and Shine, and Welcome to Wednesday,
April the twenty third. President Trump says he has no
intention of firing the Fed Reserve Churich of Rome Powell.
The White House says the President has no intention of
firing Defense Secretary Pete Hegset. He has every intention of
cutting trade deals and at the speed of Trump, some
thirty four deals in the works as we speak. How
(17:24):
quickly will all of this come together? And the market,
of course responded quite positively yesterday with about a thousand
dollars return.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
To the dow.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
All right, if you're just waking up, we always say
one of the great expressions of all time, life is
best understood looking back, but unfortunately has to be lived
looking forward. Humans have always wanted a crystal ball to
see the future. Well, we don't have a crystal ball
around here, but lucky for you, we do have a futurist.
He's a journalist and futurist, a professional futurist, Kevin Sirilli.
(17:58):
And we're here to look at all things from the
economy and so on. And I'm guessing primarily the future
as it's impacted by AI.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Yeah, you know it is. Are you polite? Michael? First
of all, it straight to me almost you thanks for
having good morning polite to your artificial intelligence. Do you
say you're pleasing thank you to Siri or to Alexa
or to chat GPT.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Me.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I don't ever use it. Sorry, I'm a bad example.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
We don't even use it. No, no, well, listen, well,
that's so, I would I would surmise that you are
using artificial intelligence.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Well, yeah, but I mean not formally in terms of
having conversation.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
With interesting Okay, Well, sixty seven percent of Americans say
that they are polite to their artificial intelligence. And when
they dug deeper the polsters did, they found that some
folks were concerned that there would be like some type
of AI uprising where they would be able to decipher
who's more polite to their AI and who's not. But
(18:52):
Sam Altman, who's the CEO of Open AI with Jones
Chat GPT, said stop being so polite to Alexa, to Siri,
to GPT, because it's costing them tens of millions of
dollars in electricity. And because you have to remember, artificial
intelligence is powered by electricity, and that's why America is
building all of these data centers all over the country.
(19:15):
And these data centers, several of them are even powered
by nuclear energy. Because just because you can't see the
AI or see the computing power, it doesn't mean that
it doesn't exist. So all of this is really positioning
the United States to have to really grapple with its
electricity infrastructure at a rate that we haven't seen in decades.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
All right, So the biggest thing from a futuristic standpoint
that nobody talks about is the electricity usage in artificial intelligence,
I would presume, and I was trying to draw Kevin
from what you were saying, the more polite we are,
the more interaction there is. In other words, what gets
straighter to the.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
Point exactly SATCHGPT has to parse, process and respond to
all of this, and so you know, the U SiGe
of it is really just interesting and fascinating. You know.
Last month, at the National Press Club here in Washington, DC,
I interviewed one of the top generals of the United
States Space Force, General Gagnat, and I asked him point
(20:12):
blank what should Americans know about the space domain? And
what he said to me was that space security is
national security. The average American interacts with space more than
two dozen times per day, and they don't even realize
that everything that you use your device is your Internet,
your AI, eventually your quantum computing power, which is the
(20:32):
next thing after AI that will happen in our lifetime.
Everything it goes right up to space. And I'm not
talking about an eleven minutes space trip that goes up
and down to space, but protecting the satellite infrastructure, protecting
the space domain is vital to preserving americans interests, not
just here in the United States for our way of life,
(20:53):
but also for the global order. You know, I'm a millennial.
I'm the last generation that can remember life before the Internet.
Gen Z is the last generation that can remember life
before artificial intelligence. So as we continue to evolve with
this technology, protecting the infrastructure around it, which is underwater
in the oceans and an outer space, is just vital.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Kevin surreally is a futuristic journalists joining us. I'm looking
at my phone right now and I'm thinking, how would
I track my children if I didn't have three sixty
we'd get in the car if we didn't have GPS.
I mean that interaction is all around us. But when
we talk about artificial intelligence too. I notice now when
I put a question into Google, I get the AI
response first, So we're definitely in a new wave of AI.
(21:40):
In other words, I want to ask it to you
this week, Kevin, how different is our usage in interaction
with AI today than even a year ago.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
Oh that's a great question, and you're noticing it not
only just in how Google and Alphabet the parent company
and Google are leveraging it, but also even in everything
from going to the doctor's office where how you how
your doctor's team, and it is looking at your doctor's
records and automating many of the processes and procedures. I
(22:13):
would put it this way, it's going to be even
more intertwined. And I write about this on Meetthefuture dot
substack dot com. It's going to be even more intertwined
in just five years. Over the weekend, the Beijing half
marathon took place and Chinese Communist Party ran twenty one
humanoid robots in the half marathon. Only six of them
(22:36):
finished and they were very slow. The others just collapsed.
But the way that you look and humanoid robots are coming,
and they're coming very quickly in our lifetime. The way
that we put apps on our iPhone or applications on
our smartphones, AI AI systems are going to program humanoid robots. Now,
(22:58):
they're not going to necessarily take your jobs, but they
are going to force the American economy to modernize to
create new jobs. And that's one of the things that
I think will be the most significant change over the
next couple of years.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
I suspect already, Kevin, everything they're reading online has been
rewritten by AI. I don't know that we've achieved it yet,
but it's going to grow more and more where your
newspeople and or your disc jockeys could be AI in
the future.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
We're going to know that.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
But I want to do something deeper that I don't
know anybody else will do this with you today. So
it's going to catch you off guard. But if you've
ever seen yeah, no, if you've ever seen the documentary
The Social Dilemma, you know the mess we've made with
technology and with the learning that these computers do, and
once they start, there's no stopping it. And what it
(23:52):
created was several things addiction and at young ages, lack
of sleep, a social disorder with a perfection culture. I mean,
there was a lot of negative that came from it.
Most of the people that created these algorithms don't allow
their kids to participate in them. But isolation and loneliness
(24:13):
was the real result of all the technology we've experienced
in twenty years through social media, and AI is going
to offer you the solution to that loneliness with these
AI bots and or robots that are coming that people
are going to have artificial relationships to solve the artificial
loneliness that was created. How can the problem create the
(24:35):
solution would be my question for you. But that's a
I can already see that. And when we worried about TikTok,
imagine people having relationships with these AI bots, both emotionally
and unfortunately sexually to some degree, and what they might
tell them that is giving a lot of In other words,
there's a lot of negativity. Just like whenever there's a
(24:57):
new invention, there's somebody good that sits down to do
good things with that, there's also bad people down to
do bad things with it. How do you process that
as you look to the future.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
No, I think it's a great question, and it's the
define one of the defining cultural questions of our time.
I think it's a brilliant question. And I write about
this on mesafuture dot substa dot com because in Japan,
for example, there are robotic companions companies that are popping up,
and so people are having friendships with robots and that
there are companies that are leveraging that. And but I
(25:30):
would argue that it's not really that different than a
child being given a toy. Humans have always had UH
relationships with with non human objects a Teddy Bear, for example,
So obviously that's a.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Very peri time and childhood not for your In other words,
if there is a creator and we were creating as
image and we were created that interaction with each other,
you're trying to make a deposit that can't be made.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
It can just be felt like it's made. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
I mean, I just see a lot of real chaos
coming in the future, and I don't I don't necessarily
expect you to make that go away. But boy, I
don't think it's I don't think anybody sees it coming
and it's.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Here well, you know, but I do think I think
it's But to finish the point, I think the other
the other half of that is that there are a
lot of technology companies right now who are exploring, particularly
in the PTSD space, for how artificial intelligence can be
used to treat not just the patient but also the
(26:32):
patient's family for the first warning signs of self harm
or other UH negative traits. In the addiction space as well.
There was actually one UH study that was greenlit in
California for criminals in jail who were in solitary confinement,
and they were given virtual reality headsets too to see
(26:57):
how that would impact their mental health, and they were
able to be taken out of solutary confinement, still in prison,
but they were but the ruckus that they were causing
within the prison system, because they were treated with VR headsets,
they were able to change some of their behavior. And
so to your point, yes, is they're bad. Of course
there's bad. Of course there's that. But to your other point,
(27:21):
which is how technologists can be looking on the digital
front here to solve problems, that's also happening as well.
Sure you know we have to we have to look
into that and talk about that. I think more as well.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Boy, Kevin, you're good and I wish I could talk
to you almost monthly. I don't know if that's even possible,
if there's any way.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
To contact be an honor, Yeah for sure.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Oh it's just remember this when our hang on the line,
when we're done, and Jeffrey will give you our information.
Because I don't come across people that are really good
very often, and when I do, I don't let.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Go of them.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Final question for you, and just give us the big picture,
because I know I've already taken more time than I
was allowed. We had the industrial revenue industrial revolution, rule
was unrecognizable after it, We've had the technology revolution.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
The world is unrecognizable after it.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Is AI a continuation of that or something completely third
in its element, And I think it's the latter.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
I think it's I think it's I think it's part
of the same evolution. I really truly do. I think
the Gutenberg Bible is it created. You know, you go
all the way back in time with the printing press.
And I think that America has a lot to celebrate
with our innovation and we just got it to your point.
Just continue to look at the best practices around it
to make it better for life. I don't want to
(28:35):
live in a world without GPS, and America should celebrate that.
So I think that there's more that's coming that's good
if we can harness the power.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
So should it be feared or should it be anticipated excitedly? Both? Maybe?
Speaker 5 (28:48):
Right depends what we do with exactly that's right, that's
the ride.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Right, all right.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Kevin's a really futurist joined us, and obviously the big
takeaway is Ai is a defining part of our future.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Del Chrono.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Well, there's a whole team working on these trade deals.
You got the Treasury Secretary Scott Descent, got the Commerce
Secretary Howard Lutnik. You got the US Trade Representative Jamison Greer,
White House, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, Peter Navarro,
who is a special counsel to the President, even the
Vice President JD. Vance, and who would be the first
(29:33):
to potentially land the first trade deal.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Looks like it might be JD.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Vance, indicating that he has come to terms with a
roadmap for a final agreement on trade with India.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Mark Mayfield has more.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
Speaking at an event in John Poor, India, Vance said
President Trump is being criticized we're starting a trade war
to bring jobs back from the past, but.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
That nothing could be further from the truth.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
He seeks to rebalance global trade so that America, with
friends like India, can build a future world worth having
for al of our people together.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
Vance's visit comes after the US at India with a
twenty six percent reciprocal tariff on its goods, but those
import taxes have been suspended for ninety days, leaving a
ten percent baseline tariff.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I'm mark Mayview.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
A judge is blocking efforts from the Trump administration to
shut down government funded radio broadcasts.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Brian Shook reports.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
A district judge on Tuesday said the White House must
take all necessary steps to restore employees and contractors to
their positions and resume broadcasts. It comes after six different
lawsuits were filed from people impacted by the shutdown of
the US Agency for Global Media. The agency placed over
one thousand people on leave after shutting down broadcasts last month.
(30:44):
Other government funded radio broadcasts include Voice of America, Radio
Free Asia, and Middle East Broadcasting Networks. I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Walgreens is agreeing to pay up to three hundred and
fifty million dollars to resolve allegations that the pharmacy chain
illegally foiled filed millions of invalid prescriptions.
Speaker 8 (31:02):
A government filed a complaint in federal court claiming from
August twenty twelve through March twenty twenty three, Walgreens knowingly
filed millions of unlawful controlled substance prescriptions. These included prescriptions
for excessive quantities of opioids. A complaint also accuses Walgreens
of pressuring its pharmacists to build prescriptions quickly and without
(31:23):
taking the time needed to confirm that each prescription was lawful.
I'm Michael Kasner.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
iHeart scored real big at the Webby Awards. That's like
the Oscars of the Internet. Jennifer Poulson has more.
Speaker 9 (31:37):
iHeartMedia being named the Podcast Company of the Year for
the second year in a row. The honor was announced
during the annual Webby Awards, where iHeart picked up fourteen wins,
including Best Music Show for Questlove, Supreme.
Speaker 6 (31:48):

Some of Iheart's other standouts include Better Offline, winner of
Best Business Individual Episode, and Nightcap winn Are the People's
Voice for Best Sports Show.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
The one thing if y'all dies have noticed, Aaron Rodgers
is always the victim.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
In his story.
Speaker 9 (32:10):
I'm Jennifer BULSONI I'm.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Sitting here trying to thank Vince Gully, Harry Carey, Mel
Barber or Mel Allen, rather trying to think world famous
announcers that there are so many through the years that
have been remarkable at their trade. Two that are never
brought up that may be the best of all time
(32:34):
are John Miller, probably one of the best baseball play
by play guys you'll ever hear, and then Mike Patrick,
who hosted Sunday Night Football on ESPN for I think
eighteen seasons. How I Loved Mike Patrick and ESPN has
announced the death of a long time play by play announcer,
Mike Patrick. The network says he died Sunday of natural
(32:54):
causes in Fairfax, Virginia. Patrick spent thirty six years calling
games for ESPN, including eighteen I was right on Sunday
Night Football. Mike Patrick was eighty years old.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Finally, according to the Keller.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Institute, every office has two things pre tennis, with one
useful thing and one not so useful.
Speaker 10 (33:19):
The institute says every office has a stapler and a troublemaker,
the work jerk, as they're called, people who gossip, cause
drama and lack production, and this unacceptable behavior costs businesses
billions of dollars in lost revenue and employee turnover. And
that toxic employee could be you. The American Psychological Association
(33:40):
says one out of every five employees is toxic, so
there's still a chance it's not you. I'm pre tennis.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
I got to think of it.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
I never could find a stapler at my other office.
H Bucks down two games to nothing, now losing to
the Pacers again one twenty three, one fifteen, Thunder up
to nothing. They beat the grizz one eighteen one nineteen
in Oro OKC versus Memphis matchup. There even the series
at one game apiece, winning ninety four eighty five to
the Timberwolves. On the ice, Lightning lost six to two
to the Panthers Florida and at least series one game
(34:07):
to nothing. In baseball, cards went big over the Braves,
Guardians beat the Yankees, Tigers lost to the Padres, Dodgers
lost to the Cubbies, Dbacks five went over the Rays,
Brewers beat the Giants eleven to three. A's lost eight
to five to the Rangers, and the Nats shut out
the O's seven nothing birthdays today. We just talked to
her yesterday. Valerie Burton Ellie Ladies and Gentlemen, sixty five
(34:28):
years old. Wrestler actor John Cena forty eight, and comedian
George Lopez is sixty four.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
If it's your birthday, Happy birthday. We're all in this together.
This is Your Morning Show with Michael ndheld Jo Noo
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show airs live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happier here now.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Enjoy the podcast, Well two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this together.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
This is your Morning Show with Michael gil Chorna.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Seven minutes after the hour, Welcome to Wednesday, the twenty
third of April.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Do you know eighteen years ago I moved to Nashville,
Tennessee Today, no kidding?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Yeah, I got the rest of my family by two weeks.
You took over first Da chilled. Two weeks you took
over for G. Gordon Lyddy. Is that correct?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
G Gordon Lyddy? Yeah? How about that Watergate fame?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, eighteen years in Middle Tennessee feels good. Welcome to Wednesday,
April of twenty third. Donald Trump made it crystal clear
the President has no intention of firing Federal Reserve Chief
Jerome Powell. I don't believe he ever said anything that
even remotely sounded like he wanted to fire him. You
want him to lower interest rates. And he made that
(01:18):
crystal clear yesterday. Hopefully, of course that doesn't you know,
nothing releases narratives anymore, so I guess they'll just continue
with it. But I don't think the President could have
been more clear. My son asked me a great question.
I interrupted, Did Joe Biden do this many news conferences?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Do you remember we waited sixty four days for Joe
Biden to do his first news conference.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Donald Trump does him daily.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yesterday was talking about a highly respected big beautiful Eggs,
Big affordable Eggs. He was talking about not firing Jerome Powell,
not firing Pete hag Seth, the great deals that are
coming in, the willingness to work with China but not
be taken advantage of by China.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
It was quite a news conference.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
But I think the big takeaway is anybody that's trying
to spook the market into believing that the President would
in some way fire the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Paul.
He made that clear yesterday. That is not his intention,
never was his intention, though he does think he needs
is a.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Good time to lower rates.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
White House said, President Trump completely stands behind Pete hagg Seth.
So whatever the media narrative or desperate left narrative to
try to get Pete hegg Seth as low hanging fruit,
it's not working. And then the Department of Education with
(02:49):
it a major announcement they're going to resume collection of
defaulted student loan debt. People took these loans and they
have a trillion dollar responsibility to pay them back, and
the White House is reversing its course of action.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
That announcement was made yesterday. All right, that's kind of that.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
And then Francis wo Lion State at Saint Peter's Basilica
again today and he let Musk indicating that he'll be
spending a lot less time with DOES starting in May.
May would be roughly that what was it, one hundred
and thirty days or whatever the commitment was, So that
shouldn't be a surprise to anybody.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
All right, So that's the news.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I bring all that up because here's what's really important
that's going on.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
It should be the news, but rarely is.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Sadly, there appears to be a fundamental shift in hate
crime landscape in America, and if you look at the
triggers for this. It starts with the October seventh Hamas
attack on Israel. Now, during the campaign, we used to
say the Democrats have an eye problem, an Israel problem. Well,
(03:56):
it turns out a portion of if America does too,
especially at the university level. Now remember, for the longest time,
speaking of landscapes, what was the apparatus of leftist control
in this country. Well, the intelligency at the university all
(04:19):
the way to K through twelve.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Common education in the seventies, it was. It was the universities.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
The past decade, it's been Heck, they'll show up at
the delivery room if you let them try to take
your children from you. But the intelligency was a big
part of that. The legacy, mainstream media was a big
part of that. Hollywood was a big part of that.
These are all the walls that have come crumbling down,
and maybe the last.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Wall is at the university level. So think about.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Because this is going to just knock you right off
your breakfast chair. October seventh, Hamas just invades a sovereign nation, Israel,
and for the purposes of ancient hatred, just start raping, slaughtering,
and killing innocent people. That's the event that triggered this,
(05:16):
and what's happening at our universities in America? Are we
siding with Israel the victim, the democracies surrounded by crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
No, not only no.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
The number of anti Semitic incidents in the United States
has surged almost nine hundred percent in the last ten years.
Problem that preceded the October seventh invasion and continued after
and last year highest level recorded in a half a century.
(05:55):
Anti Semitic incidents of skyrocketed since the October seventh AMAS attacks,
the pretext for the Trump administration to later threaten college
funding and revoke visas for students, and of course the
left goes crazy. Trump is the Nazi, not the universities.
(06:18):
The annual adl Audit recorded nine thousand, three hundred and
fifty four incidents of anti Semitic assault, harassment, and vandalism.
The total represents a five percent increase from twenty twenty
three and an eight hundred and ninety three percent jump
over the past ten years. A majority of all incidents
(06:44):
fifty eight percent, were related to Israel. More than six thousand,
five hundred incidents involved harassment language that included anti Semitic slurs, stereotypes,
and trumps. More than twenty six hundred incidents involved vandalism
to find it case. This is where property was actually
damaged graffiti Shwastika's arson. The ADL also recorded one thousand,
(07:11):
six hundred and ninety four anti Semitic incidents and college campuses.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
You know, wouldn't it be funny if Donald Trump came
up with this idea.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
All student loans must be repaid except at Ivy League
universities with.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Anti Semitism running rampant.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
The ADL said it did not count criticism of Israel
as anti Semitic incidents, but it did count incidents as
anti semitic if someone called for the destruction of Israel
or use of anti semitic tropes in discussing Israel.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Not a question of the day.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
What happened at our universities to our universities like the
Democrat Party, and of course he answers, yes, have an
Israel problem. Anti Semitism of nine percent in a decade,
We have an anti Semitism problem. I have the nickname
(08:18):
noster Del Journal for a reason. I told you AOC
is coming. Today's pull of plenty points to AOC. Do
you remember in the original Twister, which is hard to
distinguish from the second Twister, it was the.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Exact same plot line with just different actors.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
But don't forget the famous line for the original Twister,
there's Traaino coming, It's already here, and then it starts
coming right through.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
The the movie screen.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
In the case of AOC, she's not coming, She's already here.
Bartender hand selected by the Justice Democrat Movement to take
out a ten term Democrat member of Congress because their
goal is to first take over the Democrat Party, then
(09:06):
eliminate the Electoral College, then dismantle the Republic. And if
Bernie Sanders was the people's choice in twenty sixteen twenty twenty,
probably would have been again in twenty twenty four, but
they didn't get a say. AOC has had the torch
(09:30):
pass to her, so I can tell you she's going
to be the leading candidate for the Democratic nomination for
President of the United States, and the DNC will search
to scramble, and just as they replace Bernie with Hillary,
then with Joe, then with Kamala, they'll scramble to replace AOC.
(09:52):
But it'll be AOC. They have to scramble to replace
from bartender to presidential candidate only in America. Chuckie Schumer's
latest polling numbers. You know this is optional, I think
for them, but likely just as they took Barack Obama
(10:14):
from the state legislature in Illinois, plopped him in the
US Senate, then sixty days later had him run for president,
where he would go on to win and serve two terms.
I think the plan is AOC to create the momentum,
not by writing a book, but by sending shock waves
(10:34):
and knocking Chuckie Schumer out of the US Senate and
then sixty days later begin her run for president. Chuckie
Schumer's Siena College polling, he has a thirty nine percent
favorability rating of forty nine percent unfavorability rating with New
York State voters. It's the worst showing by Schumer in
(10:57):
twenty years of Siena College polling. To make matters worse, AOC,
the four term democrat from New York City and progressive
(11:18):
champion era apparent to Bernie Sanders Empire, stands at forty
seven percent favorable thirty three percent unfavorability rating and according
to the poll sixty four percent of Democrats view AOC favorably.
Crockett has stepped into the role of AOC. AOC is
(11:41):
stepping into the role as the leader of the Democrat Party,
certainly the heir apparent of the Bernie Sanders Justice Socialist Coalition,
and she will be the early and long front runner
for the Democratic nomination in twenty twenty eight. As a
Democrat search for lead and messages. The White House claims
(12:03):
it has eighteen trade proposals on paper and that the
team is meeting with some thirty four countries again this week.
The market seemed to respond greatly yesterday, and could the
United States Supreme Court be poised to rule once again
in common sense and with parents on LGBTQ material in
(12:27):
elementary schools. These are some of the stories we're going
to kick around between now and the end of the
third hour.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
David and I is going to be joining us.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Our senior contributor will have Sounds of the day are
Emmy Award winning Speaking of that, By the way, do
I have time to do this real quick?
Speaker 1 (12:40):

But if you're just waking up, President Trump says China
has to make a deal.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
They just have to make it.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Speaking from the White House, Trump said China needs to
sell it's goods to the US, and he's confident they'll
come to the bargaining table.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
I'm not going to say, oh, I'm going to play
hard roll with China. I'm going to play hardball with you.
President She No, No, We're going to be very nice.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
They're going to be very nice.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
He added that the US is losing two trillion dollars
in trade across the globe and those days are over.
Trump said the US is getting ripped off by almost
every country.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
The Department of Education will resume collecting defaulted student loans.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Brian Shook reports.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
The department announced collections will begin on May fifth, and
borrowers could be referred to debt collectors or have money
deducted from their paychecks. Student loan repayment requirements were paused
in March twenty twenty due to the COVID nineteen pandemic.
The Biden administration opted not to resume collections and attempted
to forgive student loan debt in a program that was
(14:57):
ultimately struck down by the Supreme Court. The Trump administration
has indicated it would offer no such concessions to borrowers.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I'm Brian Shook. Finally some news that affects me.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
The artificial dyes used in flaming hot Cheetos and other snacks.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
They're going bye bye.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
The FDA announced Tuesday it's phasing out the petroleum based
synthetic dies by the end of the year. Additives like
red Dye forty give candy, sports drings, and chips the
right color of the detract shoppers. The changes will affect
a grocery cart full of foods from PepsiCo, General Mills
and Kellogg's. FDA Commissioner Marty McCarey's at a news conference
that American kids have increasingly been living in a toxic
(15:36):
soup of synthetic chemicals for last fifty years. I'm Tammy
Trichio toxic soup.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Well.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
A show by Carlos Santana was postponed after the legendary
guitarist was rushed to the hospital.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Everybody relaxed. It was just dehydration.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
The seventy seven year old rock and Roll Hall of
Famer was preparing for the show suffered dehydration. The show
was postponed out of an abundance of Russian spokesperson out
of the Santana is doing well and is looking forward
to coming back to San Antonio soon and continuing his
US tour. Finally, the hotel that inspired the horror classic,
The Shining is making major upgrades three hundred million dollars
(16:17):
worth of upgrades, new rooms, events center, a horror museum.
It's all a part of the Sundance Film Festivals moved
to Colorado. And who wouldn't want to stay in a
haunted hotel. There's your top five stories Waking up this morning.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Hey, this is Jeff from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael Devjorno.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Hi, it's Michael. Your Morning Show could be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am six to nine am
Eastern in great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Enjoyed the podcast, Rise and Shine, and Welcome to Wednesday,
April the twenty third. President Trump says he has no
intention of firing the Fed Reserve Churich of Rome Powell.
The White House says the President has no intention of
firing Defense Secretary Pete Hegset. He has every intention of
cutting trade deals and at the speed of Trump, some
thirty four deals in the works as we speak. How
(17:24):
quickly will all of this come together? And the market,
of course responded quite positively yesterday with about a thousand
dollars return.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
To the dow.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
All right, if you're just waking up, we always say
one of the great expressions of all time, life is
best understood looking back, but unfortunately has to be lived
looking forward. Humans have always wanted a crystal ball to
see the future. Well, we don't have a crystal ball
around here, but lucky for you, we do have a futurist.
He's a journalist and futurist, a professional futurist, Kevin Sirilli.
(17:58):
And we're here to look at all things from the
economy and so on. And I'm guessing primarily the future
as it's impacted by AI.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Yeah, you know it is. Are you polite? Michael? First
of all, it straight to me almost you thanks for
having good morning polite to your artificial intelligence. Do you
say you're pleasing thank you to Siri or to Alexa
or to chat GPT.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Me.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I don't ever use it. Sorry, I'm a bad example.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
We don't even use it. No, no, well, listen, well,
that's so, I would I would surmise that you are
using artificial intelligence.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Well, yeah, but I mean not formally in terms of
having conversation.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
With interesting Okay, Well, sixty seven percent of Americans say
that they are polite to their artificial intelligence. And when
they dug deeper the polsters did, they found that some
folks were concerned that there would be like some type
of AI uprising where they would be able to decipher
who's more polite to their AI and who's not. But
(18:52):
Sam Altman, who's the CEO of Open AI with Jones
Chat GPT, said stop being so polite to Alexa, to Siri,
to GPT, because it's costing them tens of millions of
dollars in electricity. And because you have to remember, artificial
intelligence is powered by electricity, and that's why America is
building all of these data centers all over the country.
(19:15):
And these data centers, several of them are even powered
by nuclear energy. Because just because you can't see the
AI or see the computing power, it doesn't mean that
it doesn't exist. So all of this is really positioning
the United States to have to really grapple with its
electricity infrastructure at a rate that we haven't seen in decades.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
All right, So the biggest thing from a futuristic standpoint
that nobody talks about is the electricity usage in artificial intelligence,
I would presume, and I was trying to draw Kevin
from what you were saying, the more polite we are,
the more interaction there is. In other words, what gets
straighter to the.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
Point exactly SATCHGPT has to parse, process and respond to
all of this, and so you know, the U SiGe
of it is really just interesting and fascinating. You know.
Last month, at the National Press Club here in Washington, DC,
I interviewed one of the top generals of the United
States Space Force, General Gagnat, and I asked him point
(20:12):
blank what should Americans know about the space domain? And
what he said to me was that space security is
national security. The average American interacts with space more than
two dozen times per day, and they don't even realize
that everything that you use your device is your Internet,
your AI, eventually your quantum computing power, which is the
(20:32):
next thing after AI that will happen in our lifetime.
Everything it goes right up to space. And I'm not
talking about an eleven minutes space trip that goes up
and down to space, but protecting the satellite infrastructure, protecting
the space domain is vital to preserving americans interests, not
just here in the United States for our way of life,
(20:53):
but also for the global order. You know, I'm a millennial.
I'm the last generation that can remember life before the Internet.
Gen Z is the last generation that can remember life
before artificial intelligence. So as we continue to evolve with
this technology, protecting the infrastructure around it, which is underwater
in the oceans and an outer space, is just vital.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Kevin surreally is a futuristic journalists joining us. I'm looking
at my phone right now and I'm thinking, how would
I track my children if I didn't have three sixty
we'd get in the car if we didn't have GPS.
I mean that interaction is all around us. But when
we talk about artificial intelligence too. I notice now when
I put a question into Google, I get the AI
response first, So we're definitely in a new wave of AI.
(21:40):
In other words, I want to ask it to you
this week, Kevin, how different is our usage in interaction
with AI today than even a year ago.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
Oh that's a great question, and you're noticing it not
only just in how Google and Alphabet the parent company
and Google are leveraging it, but also even in everything
from going to the doctor's office where how you how
your doctor's team, and it is looking at your doctor's
records and automating many of the processes and procedures. I
(22:13):
would put it this way, it's going to be even
more intertwined. And I write about this on Meetthefuture dot
substack dot com. It's going to be even more intertwined
in just five years. Over the weekend, the Beijing half
marathon took place and Chinese Communist Party ran twenty one
humanoid robots in the half marathon. Only six of them
(22:36):
finished and they were very slow. The others just collapsed.
But the way that you look and humanoid robots are coming,
and they're coming very quickly in our lifetime. The way
that we put apps on our iPhone or applications on
our smartphones, AI AI systems are going to program humanoid robots. Now,
(22:58):
they're not going to necessarily take your jobs, but they
are going to force the American economy to modernize to
create new jobs. And that's one of the things that
I think will be the most significant change over the
next couple of years.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
I suspect already, Kevin, everything they're reading online has been
rewritten by AI. I don't know that we've achieved it yet,
but it's going to grow more and more where your
newspeople and or your disc jockeys could be AI in
the future.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
We're going to know that.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
But I want to do something deeper that I don't
know anybody else will do this with you today. So
it's going to catch you off guard. But if you've
ever seen yeah, no, if you've ever seen the documentary
The Social Dilemma, you know the mess we've made with
technology and with the learning that these computers do, and
once they start, there's no stopping it. And what it
(23:52):
created was several things addiction and at young ages, lack
of sleep, a social disorder with a perfection culture. I mean,
there was a lot of negative that came from it.
Most of the people that created these algorithms don't allow
their kids to participate in them. But isolation and loneliness
(24:13):
was the real result of all the technology we've experienced
in twenty years through social media, and AI is going
to offer you the solution to that loneliness with these
AI bots and or robots that are coming that people
are going to have artificial relationships to solve the artificial
loneliness that was created. How can the problem create the
(24:35):
solution would be my question for you. But that's a
I can already see that. And when we worried about TikTok,
imagine people having relationships with these AI bots, both emotionally
and unfortunately sexually to some degree, and what they might
tell them that is giving a lot of In other words,
there's a lot of negativity. Just like whenever there's a
(24:57):
new invention, there's somebody good that sits down to do
good things with that, there's also bad people down to
do bad things with it. How do you process that
as you look to the future.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
No, I think it's a great question, and it's the
define one of the defining cultural questions of our time.
I think it's a brilliant question. And I write about
this on mesafuture dot substa dot com because in Japan,
for example, there are robotic companions companies that are popping up,
and so people are having friendships with robots and that
there are companies that are leveraging that. And but I
(25:30):
would argue that it's not really that different than a
child being given a toy. Humans have always had UH
relationships with with non human objects a Teddy Bear, for example,
So obviously that's a.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Very peri time and childhood not for your In other words,
if there is a creator and we were creating as
image and we were created that interaction with each other,
you're trying to make a deposit that can't be made.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
It can just be felt like it's made. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
I mean, I just see a lot of real chaos
coming in the future, and I don't I don't necessarily
expect you to make that go away. But boy, I
don't think it's I don't think anybody sees it coming
and it's.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Here well, you know, but I do think I think
it's But to finish the point, I think the other
the other half of that is that there are a
lot of technology companies right now who are exploring, particularly
in the PTSD space, for how artificial intelligence can be
used to treat not just the patient but also the
(26:32):
patient's family for the first warning signs of self harm
or other UH negative traits. In the addiction space as well.
There was actually one UH study that was greenlit in
California for criminals in jail who were in solitary confinement,
and they were given virtual reality headsets too to see
(26:57):
how that would impact their mental health, and they were
able to be taken out of solutary confinement, still in prison,
but they were but the ruckus that they were causing
within the prison system, because they were treated with VR headsets,
they were able to change some of their behavior. And
so to your point, yes, is they're bad. Of course
there's bad. Of course there's that. But to your other point,
(27:21):
which is how technologists can be looking on the digital
front here to solve problems, that's also happening as well.
Sure you know we have to we have to look
into that and talk about that. I think more as well.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Boy, Kevin, you're good and I wish I could talk
to you almost monthly. I don't know if that's even possible,
if there's any way.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
To contact be an honor, Yeah for sure.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Oh it's just remember this when our hang on the line,
when we're done, and Jeffrey will give you our information.
Because I don't come across people that are really good
very often, and when I do, I don't let.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Go of them.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Final question for you, and just give us the big picture,
because I know I've already taken more time than I
was allowed. We had the industrial revenue industrial revolution, rule
was unrecognizable after it, We've had the technology revolution.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
The world is unrecognizable after it.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Is AI a continuation of that or something completely third
in its element, And I think it's the latter.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
I think it's I think it's I think it's part
of the same evolution. I really truly do. I think
the Gutenberg Bible is it created. You know, you go
all the way back in time with the printing press.
And I think that America has a lot to celebrate
with our innovation and we just got it to your point.
Just continue to look at the best practices around it
to make it better for life. I don't want to
(28:35):
live in a world without GPS, and America should celebrate that.
So I think that there's more that's coming that's good
if we can harness the power.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
So should it be feared or should it be anticipated excitedly? Both? Maybe?
Speaker 5 (28:48):
Right depends what we do with exactly that's right, that's
the ride.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Right, all right.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Kevin's a really futurist joined us, and obviously the big
takeaway is Ai is a defining part of our future.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Del Chrono.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Well, there's a whole team working on these trade deals.
You got the Treasury Secretary Scott Descent, got the Commerce
Secretary Howard Lutnik. You got the US Trade Representative Jamison Greer,
White House, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, Peter Navarro,
who is a special counsel to the President, even the
Vice President JD. Vance, and who would be the first
(29:33):
to potentially land the first trade deal.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Looks like it might be JD.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Vance, indicating that he has come to terms with a
roadmap for a final agreement on trade with India.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Mark Mayfield has more.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
Speaking at an event in John Poor, India, Vance said
President Trump is being criticized we're starting a trade war
to bring jobs back from the past, but.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
That nothing could be further from the truth.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
He seeks to rebalance global trade so that America, with
friends like India, can build a future world worth having
for al of our people together.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
Vance's visit comes after the US at India with a
twenty six percent reciprocal tariff on its goods, but those
import taxes have been suspended for ninety days, leaving a
ten percent baseline tariff.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I'm mark Mayview.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
A judge is blocking efforts from the Trump administration to
shut down government funded radio broadcasts.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Brian Shook reports.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
A district judge on Tuesday said the White House must
take all necessary steps to restore employees and contractors to
their positions and resume broadcasts. It comes after six different
lawsuits were filed from people impacted by the shutdown of
the US Agency for Global Media. The agency placed over
one thousand people on leave after shutting down broadcasts last month.
(30:44):
Other government funded radio broadcasts include Voice of America, Radio
Free Asia, and Middle East Broadcasting Networks. I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Walgreens is agreeing to pay up to three hundred and
fifty million dollars to resolve allegations that the pharmacy chain
illegally foiled filed millions of invalid prescriptions.
Speaker 8 (31:02):
A government filed a complaint in federal court claiming from
August twenty twelve through March twenty twenty three, Walgreens knowingly
filed millions of unlawful controlled substance prescriptions. These included prescriptions
for excessive quantities of opioids. A complaint also accuses Walgreens
of pressuring its pharmacists to build prescriptions quickly and without
(31:23):
taking the time needed to confirm that each prescription was lawful.
I'm Michael Kasner.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
iHeart scored real big at the Webby Awards. That's like
the Oscars of the Internet. Jennifer Poulson has more.

The one thing if y'all dies have noticed, Aaron Rodgers
is always the victim.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
In his story.
Speaker 9 (32:10):
I'm Jennifer BULSONI I'm.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Sitting here trying to thank Vince Gully, Harry Carey, Mel
Barber or Mel Allen, rather trying to think world famous
announcers that there are so many through the years that
have been remarkable at their trade. Two that are never
brought up that may be the best of all time
(32:34):
are John Miller, probably one of the best baseball play
by play guys you'll ever hear, and then Mike Patrick,
who hosted Sunday Night Football on ESPN for I think
eighteen seasons. How I Loved Mike Patrick and ESPN has
announced the death of a long time play by play announcer,
Mike Patrick. The network says he died Sunday of natural
(32:54):
causes in Fairfax, Virginia. Patrick spent thirty six years calling
games for ESPN, including eighteen I was right on Sunday
Night Football. Mike Patrick was eighty years old.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Finally, according to the Keller.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Institute, every office has two things pre tennis, with one
useful thing and one not so useful.
Speaker 10 (33:19):
The institute says every office has a stapler and a troublemaker,
the work jerk, as they're called, people who gossip, cause
drama and lack production, and this unacceptable behavior costs businesses
billions of dollars in lost revenue and employee turnover. And
that toxic employee could be you. The American Psychological Association
(33:40):
says one out of every five employees is toxic, so
there's still a chance it's not you. I'm pre tennis.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
I got to think of it.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
I never could find a stapler at my other office.
H Bucks down two games to nothing, now losing to
the Pacers again one twenty three, one fifteen, Thunder up
to nothing. They beat the grizz one eighteen one nineteen
in Oro OKC versus Memphis matchup. There even the series
at one game apiece, winning ninety four eighty five to
the Timberwolves. On the ice, Lightning lost six to two
to the Panthers Florida and at least series one game
(34:07):
to nothing. In baseball, cards went big over the Braves,
Guardians beat the Yankees, Tigers lost to the Padres, Dodgers
lost to the Cubbies, Dbacks five went over the Rays,
Brewers beat the Giants eleven to three. A's lost eight
to five to the Rangers, and the Nats shut out
the O's seven nothing birthdays today. We just talked to
her yesterday. Valerie Burton Ellie Ladies and Gentlemen, sixty five
(34:28):
years old. Wrestler actor John Cena forty eight, and comedian
George Lopez is sixty four.
