Well two three, starting your morning off right, a new
way of talk, a new way of understanding because we're
in this together.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
This is your morning show with Michael Bill John. I
thought for sure you're going to start with the other
sound effect. Are you like that one?

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (00:55):
I thought that's for your head. Oh no, that's only
for do it right now. And with the first pick
at the overall draft, the Tennessee Titans choose eighty year
old Dick Durban quarterback No. No, we're getting cam getting
Cam well. Cam Ward is the guest of plenty for

(01:19):
the first overall pick. The NFL Draft begins in Green

you down three two one. I'm enjoying listening to your
radio program.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Yay.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Then you've got thirty seconds to make a comment, ask
a question, take your place at this morning's kitchen table.
And for those that are less verbal, we always have
email Michael D. Michael D. We spare you the spelling
of the last name at iHeartMedia dot com. All right,
where to get started. Dick Durbin is apparently going to
retire from Congress. He's only eighty years old. I mean

(02:16):
a spring chicken, if you will, by us Senate standards.
What's the real messaging. This is the number two Democrat
in the United States Senate walking away at eighty eighty.
Some might speculate this has something to do with whether

(02:38):
or not an old establishment Democrat believes in the direction
of this party right now or believes it will ever
have power again in this country. We also ask the
other question changes within the party. If you've got a
vice chairman of the Democrat Party looking to target if

(03:05):
you believe just the old I think he's targeting establishment Democrats.
Where's the chairman to reel in the vice chairman David Hogg. Well,
apparently he's surfacing. So this is probably of the rooster

(03:27):
crowing Nostra deel Jorno's the best update story of the day.
Democrats got a hog in the henhouse. If you will,
got to get away from fox in the headhouse. D
NC leadership is planning to expand its non endorsement policy

(03:47):
to all elections, not just primary. Members will hear from
the chair Ken Martin on Thursday today. As many remain
furious at the vice share, David Hogg has a plan
to support primary challengers to incumbent candidates. A week after

(04:08):
the DNC Committee Vice chair David Hogg unveiled a controversial
plan to back primary challenges to longtime party incumbents. Anger
at the activist turned Democrat leader is only intensifying among
other party officials. This story breaking is Dick Durvins announcing
he's stepping down. Would he have been one that was

(04:29):
going to be targeted? Is this the block we said
it's on? It's on like Gonky Kong to get rid
of David Hogg. Let's see if he is the vice
chair by the time the midterms roll a rum. President
Trump is signing multiple executive orders centered around education. And

(04:52):
we almost did a breaking news sounder this just in this,
just in hell has frozen over. It appears the Atlantic
as actually praising Donald Trump. I mean, this just in
hell hasprot nosers ed Buckwheit's dead America Wards, all right,

(05:14):
enough of that, No, I mean think about it. Do
we live in a time where if a Democrat is
a president, the Republicans would acknowledge they've done something? Well?
Do we live in a time where Democrats would acknowledge
a Republican president has done something? Well? Look, if my

(05:37):
views on the matrix are as accurate as I think
they are, that's almost an impossibility. That's just in general,
but places like The Atlantic they never do. It's not
about America. It's about their worldview, their policy view, their agenda,

(05:59):
who their root for. I mean, they would be like
before the Super Bowl expecting the San Francisco forty nine
ers to be acknowledging, acknowledging all the great things the
chiefs do. That's how one sided it is. I mean,
this is really remarkable that anybody could write for The

(06:21):
Atlantic a piece on how well Donald Trump is handled
a border and it get published. The border policies of
President Donald Trump have been incredibly successful in halting the
flow of illegals crossing the Well, the numbers speak for themselves,

(06:41):
but shocking that they would acknowledge it a Trump hating conservative,
hating principal hating Atlantic magazine. Migrants are Heading South was
the subtitle of the article applauding Donald Trump's border policies.

(07:07):
For years, millions of people traveled through Central America north
to the United States. Now that flow is changing direction.
For the first time in recent history, the people passing
through Central America are mostly headed south. In fact, the
new migration flow seems to have been triggered by the

(07:29):
Trump administration's crackdown on both legal and illegal crossings at
the southern US border, and it's already disorienting the region.
I mean, why don't they just go ahead and give
you the Trump quote? Right, You don't need Congress to
pass this or that, or a judge to do this

(07:51):
or that. You just needed a new president. So you
got to give credit to Trump by way of the
mire and people who elected him. But in the Atlantic
that is shocking. In recent years, millions of migrants from
Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia, and Africa have carved a

(08:13):
path from South America through the treacherous Jungle into Panama
en route to the United States, but that flow is dwindling.
After peaking in twenty twenty three at about eighty four thousand,
five hundred, the number of people migrating north through Costa
Rica began to decline, dipping to fourteen thousand November of

(08:34):
twenty twenty four, the election, then the inauguration, down to
sixteen hundred. From eighty four thousand, five hundred to sixteen
hundred get into the presidency sixteen hundred again in February.
Somebody raised their hand in class and guess what the

(08:55):
number was in March? Anybody, anybody, buddy, take a gas Jeffrey, Yes,
you in the front row? Fourteen zero oh from eighty
four thousand, five hundred to zero. Let me just come
full circle. If you're looking for the answer to the

(09:16):
jeopardy question, what would it take for the Atlantic to
ever have to admit an obvious accomplishment of a Donald
Trump presidency? What is migration from Costa Rico eighty four
five hundred down to zero in three months? You are correct,

(09:42):
by the way I think I hear. Then the writer
from the Atlantic has been fired. Y this just did this?
Just did? I think I hear? The sounder for the
next draft. The Cleveland Browns, with their second overall pick,
have decided to trade it away for a terrible quarterback

(10:02):
to be named later. There there you have the pick
is just listen. We live in Tennessee. I know we
got a little listeners in Akron at Youngstown and Ohio.
Nobody does the draft worse than the Titans and the Browns.
You are a factory of sadness, factory of satity. What
will they do to botch the twenty twenty five version

(10:25):
of the draft? Yeah? But Anyway, these are remarkable numbers.
The migrants I spoke with were broadly aware. He continues.
If the Trump administration's hostility towards immigrants illegals, including its
highly publicized deportations, well, I mean, you know, with the
exception of the Democrats dressing up Garcia like a Chiefs fan,

(10:50):
hanging out in the ah room of a fancy hotel
trying to rescue the MS thirteen gang member. All they're
seeing these people shackled and shuffled with their that's town.
You know, that'll get you aim in South versus North.
The artic goes, how to say, most had reversed their
course simply because they didn't think they could get into

(11:13):
the United States. Seem messaging is everything. Trump was gone,
Biden was coming. They started flowing Democrats in office. They
love the votes. They're dispersing them throughout the country, giving
them free sales of security and money for food and

(11:34):
housing and registering them to vote. Remember that was a
key moment when sixty four days into his presidency, Joe
Biden finally decided to have a news conference, and in
it he sent a signal. For those that have seen
the movie, Dave I know the game he played to

(11:56):
get me here. But now I'm not leaving Kamala Harris
in charge of the border, knowing it was a poison apple.
And Kamala is waxing her words salads about well, it's
not really about them coming here as much as we
need to send our money there so we can improve
where they're fleeing from. That ended two weeks later with

(12:19):
her apologizing to the world. Yes, we did give you
signals that it was okay to come. It is not
okay to come. Stop coming. Of course they didn't until
the new sheriff arrived Donald Trump. But I mean even
the Atlantic has to admit it. And this is what
it takes takes for the Atlantic to admit when a
Republican does something right. There is no question Donald Trump

(12:41):
has succeeded in solving the border. Now, the tariffs were
only in the early chapters of this book, but so
far his approval rating on handling of tariffs is at
fifty eight percent disapproval. President's got some challenges, He's got
some deals he needs to wield, and wield them in
a hurry. And Kenny and come out the jolly goodfellow.

(13:04):
We'll talk about that with David Bonson and what we
can expect from the market that seems to be climbing
back up on optimism, that he will one other great
story today. It appears as though America is a changing
its views on energy. Anybody coming to the table of

(13:24):
the all of the above, yet everyone but the Democrats,
especially when it comes to nuclear. And you can't make
this up. Who was running the White House under Joe Biden?
Because now we get the leak from the New York Times,
Joe Biden did not agree with trans athletes competing against women,
though that's exactly what his presidents he stood for. Few

(13:46):
you know it. You weren't doing a thing. You were
napping twenty minutes after the hour. I really don't miss him.
I don't. It's your Morning Show with Michael del Chno.
Illinois Senator Dick Durbin is retiring from Congress and he's
only eighty.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
The Democrat announced on Wednesday that he will not seek
reelection next year. He currently serves as the Senate of
Minority Whip and is a ranking member of the Judiciary Committee.
Durbin said, in his heart, he knows it's time to
pass the torch. He was elected in nineteen ninety six
and is one of the most senior members of the Senate.
Durbin also represented Illinois in the House for fourteen years.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
I'm Mark Meyfhew. Defense Secretary Pete Hegsas has the full
support to President Trump.

Speaker 6 (14:29):
And the VEEP. Vice President JD. Vance also gave his support.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
I have one hundred percent confidence in the Secretary. I
know the President does, and really the entire team does.
I think he's doing a great job. I think that
he's brought a certain spirit back to the Department of Defense.

Speaker 6 (14:44):
It comes after a report that said the White House
was in the process of looking for a new leader
at the Pentagon. Heg Sath has come under fire after
reports he shared detailed military plans in two different group
chats in the signal app I'm Brian Shook.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Researchers at the University of Virginia say that the person's
ethnic background can't affect the progression of prostate cancer. Tammy
Trihillo has more a.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
New study from the UVA School of Medicine. Compared to the
genetic differences of Chinese men and Western men. The study
found that ethnic differences can lead to different prostate cancer
growth rates. Researchers hope the study will help doctors detect
cancer earlier while focusing on the development of more personalized
treatment options. I'm Tammy Tricheo, I'm just a.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Long Chelly Roll is closer to getting a full pardon
in the Great State of Tennessee. The singer songwriter was
convicted of several crimes between the ages of seventeen and
twenty three. He had asked Republican Governor Bill Lee for
a full pardon so that he could tour internationally. The
Tennessee Board of Parole this week recommended that Governor Lee

(15:50):
grant the star a parole. Looking forward to that happening.
All right, it's Round one of the NFL Draft. What
could go wrong? In Green Bay? While the Type have
the first pick in the Browns have the second, that's
what could go wrong. Titans expected to take Miami quarterback
cam Ward. Trade rumors are swirling around what the Browns

(16:11):
and the Giants will do with the next picks. Cavs
beat the Heat one twenty, lead that series two games
to nothing. In the NBA, Warriors lost one O nine
to ninety four. That series tied now one game apiece
with the Rockets. Caps won three to one to take
a two ozho lead over the Canadians, Kings winning six
to two over the Oilers take a two oh lead
against Edmonton.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
This is Peb from White House and your morning show
is My Morning Show with Michael ol del Jorno.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Hi. It's me Michael. Your Morning show can be heard
live daily on great radio stations like News Radio six
fifty k E n I Anchorage, Alaska, Talk Radio eleven
ninety Dallas Fort Worth, and Freedom one oh four to
seven in Washington, d C. We'd love to have you
listen live every day. Make us a part of your
morning routine, but better late than never. Enjoy the podcast.
President Trump says Ukrainian President Zelensky is making it hard

(17:08):
to settle this war with Russia. Illinois Senator Dick Durbin
says he's going to retire from Congress and he's only eighty.
NFL Hall of Famer Steve McMichael dead at the age
of sixty seven. Als. What ALS did to Steve McMichael
over the years is breathtaking, and I pray his soul

(17:30):
is finally a piece would a loved teammate, Hall of
Famer and great defensive tackle Steve McMichael gone at the
age of sixty seven. All right, so we have the
NFL Draft. More on that in a moment. First things first,
can't have your morning show without your voice, I believe,
and I don't know where from Charlie's.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
First Good morning, sir. I love listening to you every
morning when I have the opportunity. But I have a
question for you. Can turn in our interview policy. If
the United States consumes more all than we produce, then
why are we shipped? Why are we exporting all? You sir?

Speaker 1 (18:12):
Thank you. Columbus Golgia is where Charlie's from. Well, that
all depends on who's president, and that all depends on
where we're drilling and where we're allowed to drill, and
how much we're enriching. You know, certain presidents are anti oil,

(18:35):
certain presidents are pro Again, the all of the above
approach is what is necessary. You can't get by with wind,
you can't get by with solar. It does very little.
So you're gonna have to drill. As the President would say, drill, baby, drill.
You're gonna have to use nuclear energy, and you're gonna
have to use coal for energy. Sources. When we are

(19:00):
producing at a conservative ideological rate, we have access and
then we sell it. When we don't, we even rob
the reserve, as did in the Biden administration. So it
just depends on who's president and how and where we're
drilling and where it's being refined. One of the things

(19:21):
that's rarely ever talked about is we've got to increase
our refinement capacity, and it's been a long time since
we've made that kind of investment. I think I mentioned
his name and he appeared, Gabe Mope.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
You called me in Yep for the Atlantic to pray
trumps it.

Speaker 7 (19:38):
It just freeze over, kick throws all way.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
Up and made a stairway to heaven.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
If him and can get together, we'll lose them both.
All right, keep those talkbacks coming. Use your iHeartRadio app,
click the microphone. You got thirty seconds to make a comment,
ask a question, and take your place at this morning's
kitchen table. You can also email Michael d at iHeartMedia.
All right, So we've been making fun of the number
one overall pick goes to the Tennessee Titans, we famously

(20:06):
picked poorly. The number two overall pick goes to the
Cleveland Browns, who are most famous for picking poorly, and
just in case, the first thing that comes to your
mind is Johnny Manzel. Think again and again. It matters
not only in how you selected, but what you didn't select.

(20:30):
So all indications are and I think they've settled on it.
The Tennessee Titans, with the first overall pick, are going
to take Miami Hurricane quarterback Camboard. I think that of
the quarterbacks, I think that's probably the wisest choice. It's
not a great year for quarterbacks. But you start going
through the list of worst NFL draft picks ever, yes

(20:52):
you will not like how often the Cleveland Browns pop up,
but actually considered one of the worst picks ever is
the Chiefs. And again this is where it's not just
who you picked, it's who you didn't pick while you
picked it. Like, I love Todd Blackledge as a commentator

(21:13):
in college football. He's one of my favorites. I remember
when we used to do the little feature we go
whatever little college town they were in. He would go
to the fans the you know, the popular restaurant, and
he eats something. He always made food look so good
as a quarterback out of Penn State to take him
first overall. Not a very wise choice, especially when you
could have had John Elway, Dan Marino or Jim Kelly.

(21:42):
That's a disaster. Can you imagine if the Chiefs had
had that. Next down the list is considered the Jacksonville
Jaguars and Blaine Gabbard, Oh wow, yeah, who was selected
tenth overall selection. Then they have the Raiders going with
JaMarcus Russell from LSU. They had Freddie Mitchell fourth, which

(22:09):
is interesting. Detroit Lyons and Charles Rogers considered one of
the worst draft picks ever. That was a Matt Millen
pick too. I don't even remember that guy. They put
sixth on the list, Tim Couch for the Browns not
Johnny Manziel and I guess because you know, all you
had to do was look to Syracuse University and you

(22:29):
could have had Donovan McNabb. That might have been a
much wiser pick. The Bills get an award for LP
Lossman or JP Lossman, who they selected Arizona Cardinals for
Andre Wadsworth. Ninth was Vernon Golston, selected by the New

(22:51):
York Jets, and the Tennessee Titans have the tenth worst
draft pick ever, pac Man Jones. That was right when
I moved here eighteen years ago. He was talking about Michael,
I would add anybody in the draft who didn't pick
Tim Tom Brady, Well, yeah, and how far he went.
I think if you talk to most football fans and

(23:11):
you talk about biggest busts ever, and it's interesting that
we go to quarterback, quarterbacks are by far and away
the most scrutinized of draft picks. Yeah, you don't make
the right selection. You missed the Lway, you missed the Marino,
you missed the Jim Kelly, you're a goofball. But I
would think most people think of Ryan Leif as the

(23:31):
biggest bust when the Chargers selected him, and he's actually
eleventh on the List's Tony Mandrich not on that list. Well,
I'll never forget. We finally got a number one pick
in New Orleans. And this was right when we moved
to New Orleans in like nineteen seventy eight, and we
were so excited about who we could get, and they

(23:52):
chose Russell erk Slaven. They picked a punter, numb with
the number one overall draft pick, a punter. That was
like when I still think that should show up on
the list as one of the dumbest. Yeah, didn't he
kick two though?

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Well?

Speaker 1 (24:09):
He was a place kicker yea in college. In fact,
he had a seventy one yard field goal, but he
only punted for the Saints. And I'm just kind of
scrolling down going through the You said, Tony Mandrich. He
popped up at twenty fifth. That was eighty nine draft
considered one of the the twenty fifth greatest bust. Tim

(24:30):
Tebow just didn't pan out, right. This is what I
see a lot coming out of college guys that are
great college prototypical football players but don't quite translate to
the NFL. That was Tim Tebow. You couldn't have had
maybe one of the greatest college quarterbacks ever, but no,
couldn't quite cut it at the NFL level. But I

(24:53):
mean that would be a good talk back today, you know,
because we got people from all over the country. And
I presume you remember your war draft picks. I would
imagine between Akron and Youngstown and the sixth affiliates at Ohio,
you would dominate the talkbacks. But worst pick your city's
ever made with your number one draft pick, I'm going

(25:16):
to go with growing up in New Orleans and Russell
erk Slave and all the things we needed. We went
and got up punter. But use that talkback button for that.
It is the NFL Draft today from Green Bay, which
I think is a neat place to have it. We
did one of the best NFL drafts here in Nashville.
I think everybody agrees that. And we've hosted the NHL Draft,

(25:36):
We've hosted a lot of things, but the NFL Draft
from I remember when I was a teenager, we would
get in Jay and Choustaghie's Volkswagen Beetle and we would
drive over to the Saints camp and Metai and that's
where we would observe. And I don't even think. I'm

(25:57):
pretty sure the NFL Draft was in the afternoon or
began an early afternoon. Yeah, it wasn't a spectacle. Yeah
they didn't. And then, you know, kind of an adulthood,
they moved it to prime time. Then you had ESPN
and all the coverage and all the twenty four hour talks.
You gotta understand, when I was eighteen nineteen years old,
there was no such thing as a sports talk station.
There was no such thing as ESPN, and now is

(26:20):
anything bigger than the NFL Draft. I mean it's huge,
and it'll be from Green Bay. Took when it was
fourteen rounds. Yeah, and obviously the uh really the first
three rounds get all the attention now. But some people
who make the right picks, some people who make the

(26:40):
wrong picks. Some of them think they're making the right
one and it just doesn't pan out. It's it's always
dramatic and always fun to watch. The NFL Draft begins
tonight from Green Bay and the Titans have the overall
first pick. The Browns have the second pick, although my prediction,
my Nostrudel Journal prediction is the Browns will trade that
number two overall pick for a terrible quarterback to be

(27:02):
named later. And I'm sticking to it, all right. We
were talking about energy and America's views on energy. It
is interesting we talk to futurists, to Kevin Surrilli and
something a lot of you didn't know. It takes energy
to run all this AI, a lot of it. In fact,
the interesting twist he had on the whole conversation was

(27:25):
most people, and it was close to seven out of ten,
are very polite with their AI. Now, I don't have
any of those, like Siri, I probably should like what
do you pick up your phone? Is it? What's the phone? One?
Is the phone? Siri? Alexa? Is stop saying that you
start my phone? You're starting my phone right now? Did
I really? Yeah, I've had that happen. But I won't

(27:48):
say any of those names. I'm probably starting things. I
don't use those. But if you're polite to them and
you're making small talk, it takes power for them to answer.
So one of the things are going to try to
educate you onto the very very near future is get
directly to your question to conserve energy, because the energy
demands of AI are the next big, massive hurdle if

(28:12):
you will to leap over. And even Kevin Sarelli said,
and that's why you're going to see a change in
nuclear energy views. Well, guess what America's opinion is At
an all time high. American support for the use of
nuclear energy as an electricity source in the US has

(28:35):
risen six percentage points to sixty one percent since Gallup's
last measurement in twenty twenty three. This is just one
point shy of the twenty ten record back in nineteen
ninety four. It includes twenty nine percent of US adults
who say they strongly and thirty two percent who say

(28:55):
they somewhat favor nuclear energy. At the same time, percent
of Americans somewhat fifteen percent strongly oppose it. And if
you start going down party line, believe it or not,
this becomes a partisan issue. Seventy four percent of Republicans
support nuclear energy's sixty four percent of independence. Who's the

(29:18):
one that's holding back forty six percent of Democrats. Republicans
and independence drive these latest increases. Republicans up twelve points,
Independence up eight points Democrats. Support for nuclear energy has
risen above fifty percent only four times since nineteen ninety

(29:38):
four and most recently twenty twelve, and has never surpassed
fifty four percent. Again, the solution is the common sensical
all of the above, where it makes sense a little
supplement from wind and from soul, but you can't live

(30:01):
off of it, where it makes sense common sensically to drill,
maybe even drill and excess and export to pay down debt.
All of the above is the answer, but nuclear growing
in support, and oh, by the way, it must if

(30:23):
we're going to keep pace with the AI demands. Just
a little follow up, pull a plenty if you will.
On this Thursday, April the twenty fourth, this is your
morning show with Michael Del Chrono.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
It's Mark in Greenwood, Indiana.

Speaker 5 (30:39):
And how about Jeff George by the Indianapolis Colts.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
I don't and Jimmy Sears thinking about a quarterback being
the worst and the bus ever comes a good jet
taking a punchure in the first round. Here's a morning
for your Micael.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
Think about how the Chicago Bears hashed up on Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
That's when I'm biting them for years to come. Good morning.
This is Mary Hey.

Speaker 8 (31:03):
Long story, but I've been a Tennessee Titans fan since
before Nashville even had a stadium. But I kind of
feel like if I buy a cam Wore jersey, it'll
end up in the closet in the spare bedroom, right
next to Vince Young and Marcus Mariota.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Woohoo, tighten up. I still I still have number dead.
I mean they do they stack up when they have
Jake Locker. Remember Jake Locker's jersey, Oh Locker, Remember the
high hopes they had for Locker. Well, it's interesting to
me because you know everybody when you think synonymously of
worst quarterback decisions, you think of the Cleveland Browns, and

(31:38):
quite frankly the list speaks for itself. But the Titans
are right there. I mean, other than Steve McNair, it's
been a nightmare at quarterback. Yeah, but yeah Jake Locker,
well yeah, we'll love it. But you know, Locker, there
were very high hopes for probably one of the greatest
quarterback performances International Championship, and he just didn't want to

(32:01):
play in the NFL. I mean, that's no crazy thing
about it.

Speaker 7 (32:04):
No.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Then the sad story was, you know, he was found
at a golf course hanging out in a ditch. It
was really sad at the end. But so you know
what mistakes will be made today, your worst NFL picks
that you're still living with from your favorite teams. Use
the talkback button, and yes, you never have to rot
on hold. President Trump says Ukrainian President Zelensky is making

(32:26):
it hard to settle this war with Russia.

Speaker 7 (32:28):
