your morning show live. Every day We're heard on great
stations like News Talk five point fifty k FYI and
Phoenix News Radio, eleven ninety k EX in Portland and
ten ninety The Patriot in Seattle. Make us a part
of your morning routine. We'd love to have you listen live.
But in the meantime, enjoy the podcast starting your morning
off right.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
This is your morning Show with Michael Deltrum. Thank you,
Mike mccahn. Seven minutes after the hour. Welcome to Thursday, April,
the twenty fourth year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five
on the air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app.
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Jarno. President
Trump is signing multiple executive orders center around education. Today.
(00:49):
Illinois Senator Dick Durbin, number two in the Senate, retiring
from Congress and he's only eighty years old. And it's
Round one of the NFL draft kicks off tonight, Green Bay, Wisconsin.
The number one overall pick belongs to the Tennessee Titans.
All indications are they're going with cam Ward from the
Miami Hurricanes and NFL Hall of Famer Steve McMichael has said,
(01:09):
at the age of sixty seven, losing his battle with als,
what was the song all ayzy and breath? Remember? Is
that the Hollies? Or who was? Yeah? I think it
was Ali. Yeah, Well that's the old expression. All we
need is the air that we breathe. But what if
it's unhealthy? Your national correspond at Roory O'Neil is here
(01:31):
with the story that most of us are breathing unhealthy air.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah, and actually it's mother Nature that may get most
of the blame this time around. This is the latest
report that comes out from the American Lung Association on
their annual air quality report. They have found that wildfires, drought,
and extreme heat are causing more people across the country
to breathe poor air, even as some man made pollution
(01:54):
is falling.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Now.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Those cities with the worst pollution that they break down
into three different categories are mostly on the West coast. Bakersfield, California, Fairbanks, Alaska, Eugene, Oregon, Visalia,
California as well. Of course, La tops the list is
having the most smog, but a lot of these numbers
have also been I don't want to say off, but
(02:16):
a bit more extreme because the data comes from twenty
twenty three when we had those big wildfires across Canada,
sending a lot of that particular matter to the US.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
So from the Hollies to Michael Martin Murphy and wildfire.
What about for other parts of the country, you know,
excluding the West Coast. I know we have a lot
of allergens here in Middle Tennessee because of the way
that we sit in a bowl. But knowing where our
audiences are Florida, Ohio, Missouri, Tennessee, anything about the air
(02:51):
in those parts of the country.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Yeah, a couple spots in Ohio pop up on the list.
I think Cleveland came in number nine when it comes
to the most polluted by year round particulate pollution. We're
seeing a bit of Texas coming up on these lists
as well, in large part because of the extreme heat. Detroit,
Michigan as well also on that year round list of
poor quality. And again for the ozone pollution. La oh boy,
(03:17):
looks like that there's some phoenixes in there. Fresno, Denver,
and Salt Lake City actually got in there for the
most polluted by ozone.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Really that's interesting, all right.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Well, rolled around by the mountains on both sides, so
that stuff can get tracked.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Oh yeah, you get tracked, all right. So now coming up,
and we had an interesting so here in middle Tennessee,
we had home prices just extraordinarily rise quickly in three years.
And you would think, you know, and they were doing
nothing but building apartment complexes that you know, the apartment complexes.
(03:54):
But then that started going sky high. So we actually
you were trapped in that you either had to pay
a higher interest rate and a lot of money for
a home or a high rent. But in many cities
rent is now much less expensive than buying. Is renting
always throwing money away? Is renting always stupid? Roy'll be
beck in the third hour with the latest down that
(04:15):
good reporting. Rory, all right, we were talking about this earlier.
I don't know that we need to do this, especially
with our audience, and it really shouldn't matter what audience.
I think, you know, there was a there's a big
difference between Joe Biden the vice president, especially in the
first term of Barack Obama. I mean so much so
(04:37):
that the conspiracy theories were abounding right that it wasn't
even Joe Biden. It's somebody in a CIA mask. That's
how different the face look. That's how different one thing
hospice nurses will tell you and emergency room doctors will
tell you. The minute someone passes, their appearance completely changes.
(05:04):
Because what we believe is the soul and the mind
and the personality of the individual. It takes control of
this same physical body, but changes the way the eyes
look and the smile looks. You know, that's what gives
everybody their uniqueness, and their personality comes through and their
physical appearance that leaves. I stayed with my dog when
(05:27):
we put I've done it with all of my dogs,
but my first one that I really loved, and Joey
looked completely different once he left. In fact, he looked
like a puppy again. He looked so young, I mean,
everything left his face. And I think some of that
happened with Joe Biden because of the cognitive decline. And
so if you go back and you watch Joe Biden
(05:48):
talking in two thousand and eight, it's nothing like the
Joe Biden that left the White House, Nor is the
Joe Biden that entered a White House or campaigned in
twenty twenty compared to who served as president. And I
(06:08):
have a mother in law who is suffering from dementia
moving into the late stages, and I can tell you
the decline is fast. They call it the long, slow goodbye,
but there are very fast declines that take place. So
whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, or what your
political views or world views are, anybody should be able
(06:29):
to objectively look at Joe Biden, compare him to when
he was vice president, compared him to when he was
running for president, and then compare him about a year
into his presidency. And it's not the same person. Doesn't
even physically look like the same person. So nobody needs
to make a case, and it certainly shouldn't be a
partisan political case. In fact, those that have listened to
me for years knew I was never going to make
(06:50):
fun of Joe Biden. For this, I will die respecting
my elders. I will die and not delighting in the
misfortune of others. However, Jill and he and whoever was
conspiring put this on us. So while I don't take
cheap shots and make jokes. There's no question he was
(07:11):
not running the White House, and that was obvious to
anyone who had ears to hear and eyes to see,
and quite frankly, only partisanship would have kept you from
seeing it. Now, a lot of these politicians, and we
saw Elizabeth Warren being held accountable for that on a
podcast just yesterday in our Sounds of the Day. They
(07:31):
were lying to your face. So you don't need another
reason to know Joe Biden wasn't president. What's relevant is
who was, And we have a right to know, we
should demand to know. We should take a look at
(07:51):
every one of those auto sign executive orders and reverse them.
But here's just I don't know how to phrase this
example number seven, two hundred and sixty seven. Now we
find out that Biden was against trans women and women's sports,
(08:13):
biological males competing against women, and how do we know
this a leak from The New York Times. Former President
Joe Biden's administration attempted to give transgender athletes further protections
in its revision of Title nine, but his reported true
(08:34):
feelings were kept to himself. If he even knew what
they were doing, the proposal would have redefined sex in
Title nine as gender identity versus biological sex. The proposal
was ultimately struck down by a federal judge in January,
less than two weeks before Donald Trump defeated Joe Biden. However,
(08:57):
a new report for The New York Times says Biden
himself did not agree with trans athletes participating in women's
in girls' sports. According to a number of former Biden
administration officials, there remained a simmering debate inside the administration
about whether those Title nine protections should extend to sports,
(09:18):
saying that one side maintained that there was no legal
difference between letting trans students use bathrooms that align with
their gender identity and letting transtudent athletes play on sports
teams that aligned with their gender identity. However, Biden was
on the other side, who believed that competitive zero sum
(09:38):
nature of sports made them different from bathrooms, that some
transgender athletes would enjoy an unfair physical advantage over women,
even in dementia, some common sense existed in what was
formerly the mind and body of Joe Biden. Most important,
one of the officials holding this view was Biden himself.
(09:59):
The Times road however, the administration was mostly silent until
twenty twenty three because they didn't want to delve any
deeper into the debate ahead of the twenty twenty two
midterms and how that could impact voters. Recent polling shows
that roughly eighty percent of American side I love this
side with Biden's reported feelings, you mean, with common sense.
(10:28):
But you know, even though the New York Times is
trying to, I don't know, pivot on this issue kind of,
you know, send a message to the American people, Well,
not all Democrats are crazy, even joeah dementia got it.
It begs a question who was running the country? Because
(10:53):
if he's the President of the United States and he
believed it didn't translate to sports and it was an
unfair advantage, why was he administration moving forward with this
redefinition of title line. I don't know that. I don't
know if this story is trying to reshape and tidy
up Joe Biden's legacy. But what it really does is
(11:15):
beg the question who was running this country? And we
have a right to know this is one of the
greatest political American historic hoaxes. And how long are we
going to look at the examples improve and not take
that as a directive to find out who was really
(11:38):
running this country. And if it was Podesta, say Podesta,
if it was Clain, say Clain, whoever it was, we
have a right to know. And whatever the motive was
of the New York Times on this issue, all it
proves is the bigger issue. Joe Biden wasn't President of
(11:59):
the United States. But you knew that, right.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
It's Your Morning Show with Michael del Journo.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
I gotta go with the nineteen ninety New York Jet Draft.
Our second overall pick was a running back out of
Penn State. Thomas Terrible complained every day that he was
heard every day.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Well, Penn State running backs tend to get hurt, but yeah,
he was a complainer. Our talk back question of the
day is the NFL Draft is tonight in Green Bay?
Worst draft pick in your city or with your favorite
team growing up? There's one for Big John from the
Your Morning Show Sports book, going to the Jets in
ninety hard. If you're just waking up twenty six minutes
(12:41):
after the hour, here's what's happening your top five stories
of the day. Well, Illinois Senator Dick Durbin only eighty
years old. They usually don't leave until death do them part,
but he's retiring from Congress. Mark Mayfield has details.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
The Democrat announced on Wednesday that he will not seek
reelection there year. He currently serves as the Senate 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 (13:16):
I'm Mark Neyfield. President Trump says Ukrainian President Zelensky is
making it hard to settle this war with Russia. Lisa
Taylor has details.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
In a post on True Social Trump said Zelenski saying
in the Wall Street Journal that Ukraine won't recognize Russian
occupation of Crimea is harmful to peace negotiations. The President
question why Ukraine didn't fight for the region eleven years
ago when Russia took control with no shots fired. I'm
Lisa Taylor.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Well. Defense Secretary Pete Hegsat has the full support of
the Commander in Chief, President Trump, but also the VEEP
Vice President JD. Vance also gave his support. 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 Defense.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
It comes after a report that said the White House
was in the process of looking for a new leader
at the Pentagon. Hegseth has come under fire after reports
he shared detailed military plans in two different group chats.
In the signal app, I'm Brian Shook. What to do
with all those old drugs? Well, the Drug Enforcement Agency
would like you to get rid of your leftover drugs
(14:23):
and bring them to them.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
This Saturday is National Prescription Drug take Back Day, where
the DEA sponsored sites across the country for disposal of
unused prescription drugs. The goal is to keep them from
being flushed and contaminating the water supply or ending up
in the wrong hands. Leuction sites will be opened between
ten am and two pm. I'm Michael cass. I guess
(14:47):
this falls under the headline of you mean they haven't been.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Oscar voters are now being required to actually watch the
movies they're.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Voting for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science
has made that announcement Monday, along with updates. Until now,
actually seeing the nominated film was only required for voting
in certain OSCAR categories like Best Documentary and Best International Film.
Now Academy members are required to watch all of the
nominated films and performances for which they are voting, and
(15:15):
we'll need to submit a form indicating where they saw
the films.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Well here's one that doesn't work for
me anymore. But today's a chance to show your kids
what you do for a living. The fourth Thursday in
April is National Take your Daughters and Sons to Work Day.
Didn't we used to have two separate days, Take your
Son to Work Day, take your Daughter to Work Day? Yeah?
That it became take your kid to Work Day. An
opportunity to show children how business really operates. It's also
(15:40):
a way to open them up to new interests. Originally
founded as the National Take your Daughters to Work Day,
the event was expanded to include boys in two thousand
and three. Minus, of course, right on their way to
the bathroom, so that's not a problem. In Major League Baseball,
Cardinals loss to the Braves four to one. Tigers beat
the Padre six. Guardians lost the Yankees five to one.
(16:02):
That's four to three over the O's. Dodgers fell twice
in a row of the Cubs last night seven to six.
D Bags lost seven to six. Giants beat the Brewers
four to two, and the A's one five to two
over the Rangers.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
This is Gabriel at Saint Louis and you're listening to.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
Your Mourning Ship with Michael.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Dell's your.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Hi. I'm Michael. We'd love to have you listen every
weekday morning to your morning show live. Even take us
along with you on the drive to work. We can
be heard on great radio stations like one oh four
ninth The Patriot in Saint Louis, Our Talk Radio ninety
eight point three and fifteen ten WLAC and Nashville and
News Talk five fifty k f YI and Phoenix, Arizona.
Love to be a part of your morning routine. But
we're always grateful you're here. Now, enjoyed the podcast. Another
(16:51):
decade's gone by, I mean red sixty today I live.
I like the way you just didn't say anything about
it at all. Then he was walking by the cemetery
and Smyrner the other day two guys chased him with
a shovel. I'm telling you he's getting old. Thirty six
minutes after the URF, you're just waking up. Illinois Senator
Dick Durbin eighty says he's retiring from Congress before the
(17:14):
toe tag or I guess before the hog hog tie
that might have been coming his way. Meanwhile, round one
of the NFL drafts in Green Bay tonight, who might
the Titans pick. They'll think, they'll think, they'll think, and
they'll still make the wrong joint. This just in the
Cleveland Browns have traded their number two overall pick for
(17:38):
an undisclosed terrible quarterback to be named later. And you
know what, this time of day is always revealing and
often entertaining. It's time now for your sounds up the day.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
Alright, our rah, this is CNN, this is the news,
and that's.
Speaker 9 (17:55):
Why more people are watching the cartoon networks Slungebobbery runs
right now.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
I'm a big good Democrats. This is like a goldstone
in a past.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
You should have a government that just minds its own
damn business and leaves people alone.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Yeah, I think Red would want you to know. Listen.
Scott Jennings is there every single day on CNN, kind
of like Harry Enton is too. Yeah, they're speaking the
truth if they just listen. But they don't. He had
(18:28):
another mic drop moment as one Jeff Jarvis media analyst,
is going on and on about the biased media against
the Democrats and blaming the media. Scott Jennings jumps in
with this, Listen.
Speaker 10 (18:47):
What the right wing is taking advantage of is finally
the American people saying enough is enough. They're tired of
feeling like the mass media screens out one viewpoint versus another,
and police coverage. They're tired of media institutions favoring one
party over another. They're tired of narratives over factual stories.
If I had any advice for sixty Minutes or anybody else,
(19:09):
it would be just cover the news and try to
be fair about it and stop putting your finger on
the scale. Especially that's that's that you're you're you're talking
about the old mass media myth that you could have
this thing that was in the middle of the Walter
Cronkite saying that's the way it is when it wasn't for.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Many Americans the way it was when people were passing crusted,
the media didn't know. They just couldn't be heard because.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
There was no two ways.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Now we have the internet.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Look at the it was here and now it's here.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
It's falling off of a kah. We do have.
Speaker 11 (19:40):
We do have that gallop pulling it terrible in media
and now as in recent years, and let's be honest, Scott,
a lot of this is driven by the rhetoric of
the R side.
Speaker 10 (19:51):
Do you think it's driven by the rhetoric and the
perform Absolutely, But my point is this, well that's the
question of the hour.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Do you really believe the CNNs of the world that
this has always been a problem. We just didn't have
the two way conversation. The Internet opened up the ability
for the American people to speak back to the media. No,
I can tell you I've lived several of these decades
where the poll shows the trust falling. Now listen, I
(20:23):
will tell you this. You'd be shocked at the worldview
and political views of Walter Cronkite, which is to defend
him and say he was a far left person who
did an objective job doing his job. Now I've been
(20:44):
discussing media bias and explaining to people how it happens
the stories you cover, because there are subtle ways. You
haven't lived in the subtle era in a long time.
In the subtle area era, it was tricky. They would
call you anti abortion, not pro life. They would call
them pro choice, not pro abortion. We used to live
(21:08):
in a subtle time where you had to be mindful
of the stories they were covering and the stories they
were ignoring, the angles they were choosing, The angles they
were ignoring, meaning the questions asked and explored and not
people they talked to people they didn't, the quotes they chose,
the quotes they didn't. You've ever been interviewed by the media,
(21:32):
You'll sit there for forty five minutes talking, they'll choose
the six seconds that is used. And I've often said,
the most significant thing that happened in twenty sixteen was
not Donald Trump defeating Hillary Clinton. It was the media
taking off all appearance of objectivity and taking sides. And
(21:56):
you saw their tantrum after she lost. That was it.
That was total pulling the curtain. You could finally nobody
could argue that the media wasn't biased and all there was,
which is why we used to say it's a last
bastion of truth talk radio. The talk radio may get
(22:19):
killed off by podcasting in digital, but it was a
last bastion of truth because newspapers were rotten to the
core and had been for over seventy years. Because television
had turned rotten to the core, whether it was network
or cable, and it had been that way for decades.
The only thing they couldn't corrupt, and they tried. Had
(22:44):
Hillary won that election, I'd have probably had censors sitting
right across the glassroom me telling me what I can
and cannot say. They tried to compete with their own networks,
but nobody was listening. And to that person's lame attempt
(23:07):
at a debate, if it's all about the people having
to say, then why doesn't liberal talk work on radio
or television? Felt miserably on radio television well, As I
often say, CNN an MSNBC have the exact same cume
that I had in nineteen ninety three in Tulsa, Oklahoma,
(23:30):
the sixty fourth market. It just appears to be some
big network. There's only about one hundred thousand people watching.
We often talk about AOC, she's the new Bernie Sanders. Well,
who's the new AOC. Oh, of course it's Jasmine Crockett.
Speaker 11 (23:48):
When you bring up the idiot known as Elon mus
he knows how to hire smart people, but don't conflate
that and believe that he is the genius, because he ain't.
It says a lot when you literally are supposed to
be the leader of the free world and you're worried
about a rising sophomore in the house.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, I'm just saying.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Yeah, or you wish she was on your side.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Jimmy Kimmel, like all the late night talk show hosts,
they're just pawns of the far left. These shows aren't entertaining,
and now suddenly they're in the political talk realm. I
haven't seen this since MTV became not about music television
but about reality TV. Now late night entertainment has become
political talk, and now on Fox News, the political talk
(24:33):
and news network, late nights become about entertainment. And he
also told you low IQ. I'm sure you're aware of that.
Wouldn't you be willing.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
To take an IQ test publicly to head against the.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Problem of Absolutely, I'd actually like her to take an
IQ test and then match that with the slang and
the way she dumbs herself down as an image, because
she's a far more intelligent person than she's suddenly portraying
to be, but she's playing the role. She's the new AOC.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
Jazzi said she'd win a battle of wits with DJT
and Musk ain't a genius.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Where'd she get her confidence?
Speaker 11 (25:12):
I actually wanted to be an anesthesiologist, so I've always
been really good at math and science, but I didn't
want to.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Talk to people.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
You wanted to put people asleep, and you kind.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Of why is it? And this is just a question,
and I'm not being mean. You'd have to God would
have to take over the microphone and show you this
is not in my heart, So don't read it this way.
But why is it to take over the role of AOC.
This girl's not a bartender and she's not a dummy.
Why is it to appeal to the radical left? You
(25:44):
have to be outrageous and dumb. Remember AOC began as
a laughingstock, a dumb bartender who got into Congress and
was outspoken and said a lot of dumb things. Since
moved on and she's about to be a leading candidate
for president of the United States. But here's a Jasmine Crockett,
(26:05):
who's a pretty intelligent person. You go find old clips
of her. She doesn't she don't use words like hey, y'all,
she don't talk stupid, got a completely different tone. It's
like she's having to play stupid to play the role
of AOC agitator and far left attention getner. And there's
(26:31):
plenty of dumb in the party that's still hanging around,
like al Gore.
Speaker 9 (26:34):
Listen, we've already seen, by the way, how populist authoritarian
leaders have used migrants as scapegoats and have fanned the
fires of xenophobia to fuel their own rise to power.
And power seeking is what this is all about. Our Constitution,
written by our founders, is intended to protect us against
(26:54):
a threat identical to Donald Trump, someone who seeks power
at all to get more power.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
So people that break into your home that you own
and then refuse to leave or you call the police
to make them leave, is your power grab. Remember we
always say, classic Salolensky, classic Barack Obama, classic al Gore.
Come on, how Agenda twenty one climate change was all
(27:26):
about power control? COVID was all about power control. Whenever
the Left is accusing the right of something, remember they're
really confessing, and I have a confession to make. I
think it's official now. Caroline Levitt is the best White
House spokesperson in the history of this country. She had
(27:49):
another great moment yesterday.
Speaker 12 (27:50):
He said on Fox News that the entire Pentagon is
working against Secretary Hext.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
But the people who were fired were owned guy.
Speaker 12 (28:00):
So how do you square that and what do you
say to concerns that that's that management? They were Pedagon
employees who leaked against their boss to news agencies. In
this room, and it's been clear since day one from
this administration that we are not going to tolerate individuals
who leak to the mainstream media, particularly when it comes
to sensitive information. And the Secretary of Defense is doing
(28:24):
a tremendous job, and he is bringing monumental change to
the Pentagon, and there's a lot of people in the
city who reject monumental change, and I think, frankly, that's
why we've seen a smear campaign against the Secretary of
Defense since the moment that President Trump announced his nomination
before the United States Senate.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Next question, if you haven't had a chance to, you know,
catch that blockbuster podcast by Michelle Obama. Here is her
the narcissist, making it all of our fault that she
didn't do the right thing and go to the inauguration.
(29:01):
And let me tell you, somebody to be this level
of a narcissist, I think looks exhausting.
Speaker 13 (29:06):
My decision to skip the inauguration, you know what, people
don't realize, or my decision to make choices at the
beginning of this year that suited me were met with
such ridicule and criticism, Like people couldn't believe that I
was saying no for any other reason that they had
to assume that my marriage was falling right. You know,
(29:28):
It's like, while I'm here really trying to own my
life and intentionally practice making the choice that was right
for me, and it took everything in my power to
not do the thing that was right or that was was.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
So it's wrong. You were the first lady of the
United States of a two term president of the United States,
considered one of the most popular presidents of the United States,
and the transfer or power that you all were so
appalled over was taking place, and you became actually everything
(30:05):
that you used to curse and a genuine duty, and
this is some kind of self actuarial victory. What next?
How you lay your clothes out that.
Speaker 13 (30:22):
Was perceived as right, but do the thing that was
right for me. That was a hard thing for me
to do. I had to basically trick myself out of it.
And it started with not having anything to wear. I
mean I had affirmatively, because I'm always probably I.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Had a feeling it was going there. Sometimes in the
midst of what you think are such difficult problems to solve,
the answer is obvious if you just listen to the
sounds of the day.
Speaker 10 (31:00):
People who majored an online activision with a minor and
puberty bought, they're.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Going a little bit. Any of you in the media clearly.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Missed the art of the deal.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
It's going to work out Adia like my truck. This
is your Morning Show with Michael del Chuno, NFL Hall
of Famer Steve McMichael lost his battle with als, dying
at the age of sixty seven. It's Round one of
the NFL Draft tonight in Green Bay and Illinois Senator
Dick Durbin retiring from Congress and he's only eighty soundlike
(31:31):
members of Congress to leave so young. Speaking of politics,
White House Correspondent John Decker will be hanging around the
Oval Office today as the President will be visiting with
Norway's vice president and a busy agenda at that. Good morning, John, Yeah.
Speaker 8 (31:46):
Let me just correct who the president's meeting with. You
might wonder why is he meeting with the vice president.
He's not. He's meeting with Norway's prime minister. So maybe
that was conveyed to you incorrectly, But in any case,
it's an important meeting. Norway shares a border with Russia.
It is concerned about Russia's territorial ambitions. It's concerned about
Russia and the war that it started against Ukraine. So
(32:09):
certainly that will be a matter that will be on
the agenda today. Tariff's always on the agenda when a
world leader meets with the president. As you point out,
I'll be in the Oval Office when the President meets
with Norway's Prime minister, so hopefully I'll get a question
or two to the President and maybe Norway's Prime minister
as well during that visit a little bit later today,
(32:30):
you know, and this is probably more for David Bonsen
next half hour.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
But you know, we always talk about how well the
market isn't tied to the news cycle. Well, all evidence
to the contrary. Every time there's negative talk about the tariffs,
the market dives. Every Time there's positive talk about deals
that are starting to happen, the market responds. Is the
president feeling pressure? And is the scoreboard Wall Street and
(32:56):
how the market's going up and down because he is
starting to pull very poorly on issues, specifically on tariffs
and starting to dip a little bit on the economy
as well. Are you sensing that pressure?
Speaker 10 (33:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (33:13):
The President recognizes that, you know, and he speaks to
people that he trusts at the other end of Pennsylvania
Avenue because they have their ear to the ground even
more than the president.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
They hear from their constituents. And so I think that's
the reason.
Speaker 8 (33:25):
Why yesterday in the Oval Office, the President was talking
about pulling back as it relates to this trade war
that the US has with China. Tariffs on Chinese goods
are as much as two hundred and forty five percent, Michael,
and the President indicating yesterday that that rate, that tariff
rate is not going to be there for the long term,
(33:45):
so perhaps some movement as it relates to trade talks
with China. And in addition to that, the President tamping
down this talk of possibly.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Firing the FED.
Speaker 8 (33:57):
Share that is something that he alluded to over the
weekend in a social media post, and the markets reacted
in a negative way when the President put that out
on social media on Monday. But then he's saying just
the other day that he's not.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Going to fire Jerome Tyle, and the dow went up
a thousand, right it did right after that. Yeah, all right, John,
you watch closely and we will debrief you tomorrow. John Decker,
Whitehouse Correspondent, Supreme Court bar attorney covering the President's visit
with the Prime Minister of Norway on the Russian Ukraine
War as well as tariffs. We're all in this together.
(34:32):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Nhild Joano
Hi, I'm Michael. I'd love to have you listen to
your morning show live. Every day We're heard on great
stations like News Talk five point fifty k FYI and
Phoenix News Radio, eleven ninety k EX in Portland and
ten ninety The Patriot in Seattle. Make us a part
of your morning routine. We'd love to have you listen live.
But in the meantime, enjoy the podcast starting your morning
off right.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
This is your morning Show with Michael Deltrum. Thank you,
Mike mccahn. Seven minutes after the hour. Welcome to Thursday, April,
the twenty fourth year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five
on the air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app.
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Jarno. President
Trump is signing multiple executive orders center around education. Today.
(00:49):
Illinois Senator Dick Durbin, number two in the Senate, retiring
from Congress and he's only eighty years old. And it's
Round one of the NFL draft kicks off tonight, Green Bay, Wisconsin.
The number one overall pick belongs to the Tennessee Titans.
All indications are they're going with cam Ward from the
Miami Hurricanes and NFL Hall of Famer Steve McMichael has said,
(01:09):
at the age of sixty seven, losing his battle with als,
what was the song all ayzy and breath? Remember? Is
that the Hollies? Or who was? Yeah? I think it
was Ali. Yeah, Well that's the old expression. All we
need is the air that we breathe. But what if
it's unhealthy? Your national correspond at Roory O'Neil is here
(01:31):
with the story that most of us are breathing unhealthy air.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah, and actually it's mother Nature that may get most
of the blame this time around. This is the latest
report that comes out from the American Lung Association on
their annual air quality report. They have found that wildfires, drought,
and extreme heat are causing more people across the country
to breathe poor air, even as some man made pollution
(01:54):
is falling.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Now.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Those cities with the worst pollution that they break down
into three different categories are mostly on the West coast. Bakersfield, California, Fairbanks, Alaska, Eugene, Oregon, Visalia,
California as well. Of course, La tops the list is
having the most smog, but a lot of these numbers
have also been I don't want to say off, but
(02:16):
a bit more extreme because the data comes from twenty
twenty three when we had those big wildfires across Canada,
sending a lot of that particular matter to the US.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
So from the Hollies to Michael Martin Murphy and wildfire.
What about for other parts of the country, you know,
excluding the West Coast. I know we have a lot
of allergens here in Middle Tennessee because of the way
that we sit in a bowl. But knowing where our
audiences are Florida, Ohio, Missouri, Tennessee, anything about the air
(02:51):
in those parts of the country.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Yeah, a couple spots in Ohio pop up on the list.
I think Cleveland came in number nine when it comes
to the most polluted by year round particulate pollution. We're
seeing a bit of Texas coming up on these lists
as well, in large part because of the extreme heat. Detroit,
Michigan as well also on that year round list of
poor quality. And again for the ozone pollution. La oh boy,
(03:17):
looks like that there's some phoenixes in there. Fresno, Denver,
and Salt Lake City actually got in there for the
most polluted by ozone.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Really that's interesting, all right.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Well, rolled around by the mountains on both sides, so
that stuff can get tracked.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Oh yeah, you get tracked, all right. So now coming up,
and we had an interesting so here in middle Tennessee,
we had home prices just extraordinarily rise quickly in three years.
And you would think, you know, and they were doing
nothing but building apartment complexes that you know, the apartment complexes.
(03:54):
But then that started going sky high. So we actually
you were trapped in that you either had to pay
a higher interest rate and a lot of money for
a home or a high rent. But in many cities
rent is now much less expensive than buying. Is renting
always throwing money away? Is renting always stupid? Roy'll be
beck in the third hour with the latest down that
(04:15):
good reporting. Rory, all right, we were talking about this earlier.
I don't know that we need to do this, especially
with our audience, and it really shouldn't matter what audience.
I think, you know, there was a there's a big
difference between Joe Biden the vice president, especially in the
first term of Barack Obama. I mean so much so
(04:37):
that the conspiracy theories were abounding right that it wasn't
even Joe Biden. It's somebody in a CIA mask. That's
how different the face look. That's how different one thing
hospice nurses will tell you and emergency room doctors will
tell you. The minute someone passes, their appearance completely changes.
(05:04):
Because what we believe is the soul and the mind
and the personality of the individual. It takes control of
this same physical body, but changes the way the eyes
look and the smile looks. You know, that's what gives
everybody their uniqueness, and their personality comes through and their
physical appearance that leaves. I stayed with my dog when
(05:27):
we put I've done it with all of my dogs,
but my first one that I really loved, and Joey
looked completely different once he left. In fact, he looked
like a puppy again. He looked so young, I mean,
everything left his face. And I think some of that
happened with Joe Biden because of the cognitive decline. And
so if you go back and you watch Joe Biden
(05:48):
talking in two thousand and eight, it's nothing like the
Joe Biden that left the White House, Nor is the
Joe Biden that entered a White House or campaigned in
twenty twenty compared to who served as president. And I
(06:08):
have a mother in law who is suffering from dementia
moving into the late stages, and I can tell you
the decline is fast. They call it the long, slow goodbye,
but there are very fast declines that take place. So
whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, or what your
political views or world views are, anybody should be able
(06:29):
to objectively look at Joe Biden, compare him to when
he was vice president, compared him to when he was
running for president, and then compare him about a year
into his presidency. And it's not the same person. Doesn't
even physically look like the same person. So nobody needs
to make a case, and it certainly shouldn't be a
partisan political case. In fact, those that have listened to
me for years knew I was never going to make
(06:50):
fun of Joe Biden. For this, I will die respecting
my elders. I will die and not delighting in the
misfortune of others. However, Jill and he and whoever was
conspiring put this on us. So while I don't take
cheap shots and make jokes. There's no question he was
(07:11):
not running the White House, and that was obvious to
anyone who had ears to hear and eyes to see,
and quite frankly, only partisanship would have kept you from
seeing it. Now, a lot of these politicians, and we
saw Elizabeth Warren being held accountable for that on a
podcast just yesterday in our Sounds of the Day. They
(07:31):
were lying to your face. So you don't need another
reason to know Joe Biden wasn't president. What's relevant is
who was, And we have a right to know, we
should demand to know. We should take a look at
(07:51):
every one of those auto sign executive orders and reverse them.
But here's just I don't know how to phrase this
example number seven, two hundred and sixty seven. Now we
find out that Biden was against trans women and women's sports,
(08:13):
biological males competing against women, and how do we know
this a leak from The New York Times. Former President
Joe Biden's administration attempted to give transgender athletes further protections
in its revision of Title nine, but his reported true
(08:34):
feelings were kept to himself. If he even knew what
they were doing, the proposal would have redefined sex in
Title nine as gender identity versus biological sex. The proposal
was ultimately struck down by a federal judge in January,
less than two weeks before Donald Trump defeated Joe Biden. However,
(08:57):
a new report for The New York Times says Biden
himself did not agree with trans athletes participating in women's
in girls' sports. According to a number of former Biden
administration officials, there remained a simmering debate inside the administration
about whether those Title nine protections should extend to sports,
(09:18):
saying that one side maintained that there was no legal
difference between letting trans students use bathrooms that align with
their gender identity and letting transtudent athletes play on sports
teams that aligned with their gender identity. However, Biden was
on the other side, who believed that competitive zero sum
(09:38):
nature of sports made them different from bathrooms, that some
transgender athletes would enjoy an unfair physical advantage over women,
even in dementia, some common sense existed in what was
formerly the mind and body of Joe Biden. Most important,
one of the officials holding this view was Biden himself.
(09:59):
The Times road however, the administration was mostly silent until
twenty twenty three because they didn't want to delve any
deeper into the debate ahead of the twenty twenty two
midterms and how that could impact voters. Recent polling shows
that roughly eighty percent of American side I love this
side with Biden's reported feelings, you mean, with common sense.
(10:28):
But you know, even though the New York Times is
trying to, I don't know, pivot on this issue kind of,
you know, send a message to the American people, Well,
not all Democrats are crazy, even joeah dementia got it.
It begs a question who was running the country? Because
(10:53):
if he's the President of the United States and he
believed it didn't translate to sports and it was an
unfair advantage, why was he administration moving forward with this
redefinition of title line. I don't know that. I don't
know if this story is trying to reshape and tidy
up Joe Biden's legacy. But what it really does is
(11:15):
beg the question who was running this country? And we
have a right to know this is one of the
greatest political American historic hoaxes. And how long are we
going to look at the examples improve and not take
that as a directive to find out who was really
(11:38):
running this country. And if it was Podesta, say Podesta,
if it was Clain, say Clain, whoever it was, we
have a right to know. And whatever the motive was
of the New York Times on this issue, all it
proves is the bigger issue. Joe Biden wasn't President of
(11:59):
the United States. But you knew that, right.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
It's Your Morning Show with Michael del Journo.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
I gotta go with the nineteen ninety New York Jet Draft.
Our second overall pick was a running back out of
Penn State. Thomas Terrible complained every day that he was
heard every day.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Well, Penn State running backs tend to get hurt, but yeah,
he was a complainer. Our talk back question of the
day is the NFL Draft is tonight in Green Bay?
Worst draft pick in your city or with your favorite
team growing up? There's one for Big John from the
Your Morning Show Sports book, going to the Jets in
ninety hard. If you're just waking up twenty six minutes
(12:41):
after the hour, here's what's happening your top five stories
of the day. Well, Illinois Senator Dick Durbin only eighty
years old. They usually don't leave until death do them part,
but he's retiring from Congress. Mark Mayfield has details.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
The Democrat announced on Wednesday that he will not seek
reelection there year. He currently serves as the Senate 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 (13:16):
I'm Mark Neyfield. President Trump says Ukrainian President Zelensky is
making it hard to settle this war with Russia. Lisa
Taylor has details.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
In a post on True Social Trump said Zelenski saying
in the Wall Street Journal that Ukraine won't recognize Russian
occupation of Crimea is harmful to peace negotiations. The President
question why Ukraine didn't fight for the region eleven years
ago when Russia took control with no shots fired. I'm
Lisa Taylor.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Well. Defense Secretary Pete Hegsat has the full support of
the Commander in Chief, President Trump, but also the VEEP
Vice President JD. Vance also gave his support. 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 Defense.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
It comes after a report that said the White House
was in the process of looking for a new leader
at the Pentagon. Hegseth has come under fire after reports
he shared detailed military plans in two different group chats.
In the signal app, I'm Brian Shook. What to do
with all those old drugs? Well, the Drug Enforcement Agency
would like you to get rid of your leftover drugs
(14:23):
and bring them to them.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
This Saturday is National Prescription Drug take Back Day, where
the DEA sponsored sites across the country for disposal of
unused prescription drugs. The goal is to keep them from
being flushed and contaminating the water supply or ending up
in the wrong hands. Leuction sites will be opened between
ten am and two pm. I'm Michael cass. I guess
(14:47):
this falls under the headline of you mean they haven't been.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Oscar voters are now being required to actually watch the
movies they're.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Voting for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science
has made that announcement Monday, along with updates. Until now,
actually seeing the nominated film was only required for voting
in certain OSCAR categories like Best Documentary and Best International Film.
Now Academy members are required to watch all of the
nominated films and performances for which they are voting, and
(15:15):
we'll need to submit a form indicating where they saw
the films.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Well here's one that doesn't work for
me anymore. But today's a chance to show your kids
what you do for a living. The fourth Thursday in
April is National Take your Daughters and Sons to Work Day.
Didn't we used to have two separate days, Take your
Son to Work Day, take your Daughter to Work Day? Yeah?
That it became take your kid to Work Day. An
opportunity to show children how business really operates. It's also
(15:40):
a way to open them up to new interests. Originally
founded as the National Take your Daughters to Work Day,
the event was expanded to include boys in two thousand
and three. Minus, of course, right on their way to
the bathroom, so that's not a problem. In Major League Baseball,
Cardinals loss to the Braves four to one. Tigers beat
the Padre six. Guardians lost the Yankees five to one.
(16:02):
That's four to three over the O's. Dodgers fell twice
in a row of the Cubs last night seven to six.
D Bags lost seven to six. Giants beat the Brewers
four to two, and the A's one five to two
over the Rangers.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
This is Gabriel at Saint Louis and you're listening to.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
Your Mourning Ship with Michael.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Dell's your.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Hi. I'm Michael. We'd love to have you listen every
weekday morning to your morning show live. Even take us
along with you on the drive to work. We can
be heard on great radio stations like one oh four
ninth The Patriot in Saint Louis, Our Talk Radio ninety
eight point three and fifteen ten WLAC and Nashville and
News Talk five fifty k f YI and Phoenix, Arizona.
Love to be a part of your morning routine. But
we're always grateful you're here. Now, enjoyed the podcast. Another
(16:51):
decade's gone by, I mean red sixty today I live.
I like the way you just didn't say anything about
it at all. Then he was walking by the cemetery
and Smyrner the other day two guys chased him with
a shovel. I'm telling you he's getting old. Thirty six
minutes after the URF, you're just waking up. Illinois Senator
Dick Durbin eighty says he's retiring from Congress before the
(17:14):
toe tag or I guess before the hog hog tie
that might have been coming his way. Meanwhile, round one
of the NFL drafts in Green Bay tonight, who might
the Titans pick. They'll think, they'll think, they'll think, and
they'll still make the wrong joint. This just in the
Cleveland Browns have traded their number two overall pick for
(17:38):
an undisclosed terrible quarterback to be named later. And you
know what, this time of day is always revealing and
often entertaining. It's time now for your sounds up the day.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
Alright, our rah, this is CNN, this is the news,
and that's.
Speaker 9 (17:55):
Why more people are watching the cartoon networks Slungebobbery runs
right now.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
I'm a big good Democrats. This is like a goldstone
in a past.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
You should have a government that just minds its own
damn business and leaves people alone.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Yeah, I think Red would want you to know. Listen.
Scott Jennings is there every single day on CNN, kind
of like Harry Enton is too. Yeah, they're speaking the
truth if they just listen. But they don't. He had
(18:28):
another mic drop moment as one Jeff Jarvis media analyst,
is going on and on about the biased media against
the Democrats and blaming the media. Scott Jennings jumps in
with this, Listen.
Speaker 10 (18:47):
What the right wing is taking advantage of is finally
the American people saying enough is enough. They're tired of
feeling like the mass media screens out one viewpoint versus another,
and police coverage. They're tired of media institutions favoring one
party over another. They're tired of narratives over factual stories.
If I had any advice for sixty Minutes or anybody else,
(19:09):
it would be just cover the news and try to
be fair about it and stop putting your finger on
the scale. Especially that's that's that you're you're you're talking
about the old mass media myth that you could have
this thing that was in the middle of the Walter
Cronkite saying that's the way it is when it wasn't for.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Many Americans the way it was when people were passing crusted,
the media didn't know. They just couldn't be heard because.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
There was no two ways.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Now we have the internet.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Look at the it was here and now it's here.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
It's falling off of a kah. We do have.
Speaker 11 (19:40):
We do have that gallop pulling it terrible in media
and now as in recent years, and let's be honest, Scott,
a lot of this is driven by the rhetoric of
the R side.
Speaker 10 (19:51):
Do you think it's driven by the rhetoric and the
perform Absolutely, But my point is this, well that's the
question of the hour.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Do you really believe the CNNs of the world that
this has always been a problem. We just didn't have
the two way conversation. The Internet opened up the ability
for the American people to speak back to the media. No,
I can tell you I've lived several of these decades
where the poll shows the trust falling. Now listen, I
(20:23):
will tell you this. You'd be shocked at the worldview
and political views of Walter Cronkite, which is to defend
him and say he was a far left person who
did an objective job doing his job. Now I've been
(20:44):
discussing media bias and explaining to people how it happens
the stories you cover, because there are subtle ways. You
haven't lived in the subtle era in a long time.
In the subtle area era, it was tricky. They would
call you anti abortion, not pro life. They would call
them pro choice, not pro abortion. We used to live
(21:08):
in a subtle time where you had to be mindful
of the stories they were covering and the stories they
were ignoring, the angles they were choosing, The angles they
were ignoring, meaning the questions asked and explored and not
people they talked to people they didn't, the quotes they chose,
the quotes they didn't. You've ever been interviewed by the media,
(21:32):
You'll sit there for forty five minutes talking, they'll choose
the six seconds that is used. And I've often said,
the most significant thing that happened in twenty sixteen was
not Donald Trump defeating Hillary Clinton. It was the media
taking off all appearance of objectivity and taking sides. And
(21:56):
you saw their tantrum after she lost. That was it.
That was total pulling the curtain. You could finally nobody
could argue that the media wasn't biased and all there was,
which is why we used to say it's a last
bastion of truth talk radio. The talk radio may get
(22:19):
killed off by podcasting in digital, but it was a
last bastion of truth because newspapers were rotten to the
core and had been for over seventy years. Because television
had turned rotten to the core, whether it was network
or cable, and it had been that way for decades.
The only thing they couldn't corrupt, and they tried. Had
(22:44):
Hillary won that election, I'd have probably had censors sitting
right across the glassroom me telling me what I can
and cannot say. They tried to compete with their own networks,
but nobody was listening. And to that person's lame attempt
(23:07):
at a debate, if it's all about the people having
to say, then why doesn't liberal talk work on radio
or television? Felt miserably on radio television well, As I
often say, CNN an MSNBC have the exact same cume
that I had in nineteen ninety three in Tulsa, Oklahoma,
(23:30):
the sixty fourth market. It just appears to be some
big network. There's only about one hundred thousand people watching.
We often talk about AOC, she's the new Bernie Sanders. Well,
who's the new AOC. Oh, of course it's Jasmine Crockett.
Speaker 11 (23:48):
When you bring up the idiot known as Elon mus
he knows how to hire smart people, but don't conflate
that and believe that he is the genius, because he ain't.
It says a lot when you literally are supposed to
be the leader of the free world and you're worried
about a rising sophomore in the house.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, I'm just saying.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Yeah, or you wish she was on your side.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Jimmy Kimmel, like all the late night talk show hosts,
they're just pawns of the far left. These shows aren't entertaining,
and now suddenly they're in the political talk realm. I
haven't seen this since MTV became not about music television
but about reality TV. Now late night entertainment has become
political talk, and now on Fox News, the political talk
(24:33):
and news network, late nights become about entertainment. And he
also told you low IQ. I'm sure you're aware of that.
Wouldn't you be willing.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
To take an IQ test publicly to head against the.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Problem of Absolutely, I'd actually like her to take an
IQ test and then match that with the slang and
the way she dumbs herself down as an image, because
she's a far more intelligent person than she's suddenly portraying
to be, but she's playing the role. She's the new AOC.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
Jazzi said she'd win a battle of wits with DJT
and Musk ain't a genius.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Where'd she get her confidence?
Speaker 11 (25:12):
I actually wanted to be an anesthesiologist, so I've always
been really good at math and science, but I didn't
want to.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Talk to people.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
You wanted to put people asleep, and you kind.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Of why is it? And this is just a question,
and I'm not being mean. You'd have to God would
have to take over the microphone and show you this
is not in my heart, So don't read it this way.
But why is it to take over the role of AOC.
This girl's not a bartender and she's not a dummy.
Why is it to appeal to the radical left? You
(25:44):
have to be outrageous and dumb. Remember AOC began as
a laughingstock, a dumb bartender who got into Congress and
was outspoken and said a lot of dumb things. Since
moved on and she's about to be a leading candidate
for president of the United States. But here's a Jasmine Crockett,
(26:05):
who's a pretty intelligent person. You go find old clips
of her. She doesn't she don't use words like hey, y'all,
she don't talk stupid, got a completely different tone. It's
like she's having to play stupid to play the role
of AOC agitator and far left attention getner. And there's
(26:31):
plenty of dumb in the party that's still hanging around,
like al Gore.
Speaker 9 (26:34):
Listen, we've already seen, by the way, how populist authoritarian
leaders have used migrants as scapegoats and have fanned the
fires of xenophobia to fuel their own rise to power.
And power seeking is what this is all about. Our Constitution,
written by our founders, is intended to protect us against
(26:54):
a threat identical to Donald Trump, someone who seeks power
at all to get more power.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
So people that break into your home that you own
and then refuse to leave or you call the police
to make them leave, is your power grab. Remember we
always say, classic Salolensky, classic Barack Obama, classic al Gore.
Come on, how Agenda twenty one climate change was all
(27:26):
about power control? COVID was all about power control. Whenever
the Left is accusing the right of something, remember they're
really confessing, and I have a confession to make. I
think it's official now. Caroline Levitt is the best White
House spokesperson in the history of this country. She had
(27:49):
another great moment yesterday.
Speaker 12 (27:50):
He said on Fox News that the entire Pentagon is
working against Secretary Hext.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
But the people who were fired were owned guy.
Speaker 12 (28:00):
So how do you square that and what do you
say to concerns that that's that management? They were Pedagon
employees who leaked against their boss to news agencies. In
this room, and it's been clear since day one from
this administration that we are not going to tolerate individuals
who leak to the mainstream media, particularly when it comes
to sensitive information. And the Secretary of Defense is doing
(28:24):
a tremendous job, and he is bringing monumental change to
the Pentagon, and there's a lot of people in the
city who reject monumental change, and I think, frankly, that's
why we've seen a smear campaign against the Secretary of
Defense since the moment that President Trump announced his nomination
before the United States Senate.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Next question, if you haven't had a chance to, you know,
catch that blockbuster podcast by Michelle Obama. Here is her
the narcissist, making it all of our fault that she
didn't do the right thing and go to the inauguration.
(29:01):
And let me tell you, somebody to be this level
of a narcissist, I think looks exhausting.
Speaker 13 (29:06):
My decision to skip the inauguration, you know what, people
don't realize, or my decision to make choices at the
beginning of this year that suited me were met with
such ridicule and criticism, Like people couldn't believe that I
was saying no for any other reason that they had
to assume that my marriage was falling right. You know,
(29:28):
It's like, while I'm here really trying to own my
life and intentionally practice making the choice that was right
for me, and it took everything in my power to
not do the thing that was right or that was was.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
So it's wrong. You were the first lady of the
United States of a two term president of the United States,
considered one of the most popular presidents of the United States,
and the transfer or power that you all were so
appalled over was taking place, and you became actually everything
(30:05):
that you used to curse and a genuine duty, and
this is some kind of self actuarial victory. What next?
How you lay your clothes out that.
Speaker 13 (30:22):
Was perceived as right, but do the thing that was
right for me. That was a hard thing for me
to do. I had to basically trick myself out of it.
And it started with not having anything to wear. I
mean I had affirmatively, because I'm always probably I.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Had a feeling it was going there. Sometimes in the
midst of what you think are such difficult problems to solve,
the answer is obvious if you just listen to the
sounds of the day.
Speaker 10 (31:00):
People who majored an online activision with a minor and
puberty bought, they're.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Going a little bit. Any of you in the media clearly.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Missed the art of the deal.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
It's going to work out Adia like my truck. This
is your Morning Show with Michael del Chuno, NFL Hall
of Famer Steve McMichael lost his battle with als, dying
at the age of sixty seven. It's Round one of
the NFL Draft tonight in Green Bay and Illinois Senator
Dick Durbin retiring from Congress and he's only eighty soundlike
(31:31):
members of Congress to leave so young. Speaking of politics,
White House Correspondent John Decker will be hanging around the
Oval Office today as the President will be visiting with
Norway's vice president and a busy agenda at that. Good morning, John, Yeah.
Speaker 8 (31:46):
Let me just correct who the president's meeting with. You
might wonder why is he meeting with the vice president.
He's not. He's meeting with Norway's prime minister. So maybe
that was conveyed to you incorrectly, But in any case,
it's an important meeting. Norway shares a border with Russia.
It is concerned about Russia's territorial ambitions. It's concerned about
Russia and the war that it started against Ukraine. So
(32:09):
certainly that will be a matter that will be on
the agenda today. Tariff's always on the agenda when a
world leader meets with the president. As you point out,
I'll be in the Oval Office when the President meets
with Norway's Prime minister, so hopefully I'll get a question
or two to the President and maybe Norway's Prime minister
as well during that visit a little bit later today,
(32:30):
you know, and this is probably more for David Bonsen
next half hour.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
But you know, we always talk about how well the
market isn't tied to the news cycle. Well, all evidence
to the contrary. Every time there's negative talk about the tariffs,
the market dives. Every Time there's positive talk about deals
that are starting to happen, the market responds. Is the
president feeling pressure? And is the scoreboard Wall Street and
(32:56):
how the market's going up and down because he is
starting to pull very poorly on issues, specifically on tariffs
and starting to dip a little bit on the economy
as well. Are you sensing that pressure?
Speaker 10 (33:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (33:13):
The President recognizes that, you know, and he speaks to
people that he trusts at the other end of Pennsylvania
Avenue because they have their ear to the ground even
more than the president.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
They hear from their constituents. And so I think that's
the reason.
Speaker 8 (33:25):
Why yesterday in the Oval Office, the President was talking
about pulling back as it relates to this trade war
that the US has with China. Tariffs on Chinese goods
are as much as two hundred and forty five percent, Michael,
and the President indicating yesterday that that rate, that tariff
rate is not going to be there for the long term,
(33:45):
so perhaps some movement as it relates to trade talks
with China. And in addition to that, the President tamping
down this talk of possibly.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Firing the FED.
Speaker 8 (33:57):
Share that is something that he alluded to over the
weekend in a social media post, and the markets reacted
in a negative way when the President put that out
on social media on Monday. But then he's saying just
the other day that he's not.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Going to fire Jerome Tyle, and the dow went up
a thousand, right it did right after that. Yeah, all right, John,
you watch closely and we will debrief you tomorrow. John Decker,
Whitehouse Correspondent, Supreme Court bar attorney covering the President's visit
with the Prime Minister of Norway on the Russian Ukraine
War as well as tariffs. We're all in this together.
