The LGBTQ agenda was first demanding tolerance, then acceptance and finally validation and participation! Now, that seems to be finally too far for the US Supreme Court. David Zanotti breaks down the removal of parental opt out and the importance of what this ruling means for parents.
Final details are in place for Saturday’s funeral of Pope Francis. National Correspondent RORY O’NEILL offered a preview.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, gang, it's me Michael. You can listen to your
morning show live. Make us a part of your morning
routine or your drive to work companion on great stations
like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and fifteen ten
WLAC in Nashville, Tupelos News and Talk one oh one
point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk
six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love to have you
(00:21):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the
podcast Enjoy one.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael O'Dell Jordan.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
First overall pick in the draft went the way we
thought it would, cam Ward to the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
The second overall pick was the right guy.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
He just didn't go where we thought he'd go because
Cleveland decided to trade it away.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
You have the most.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Game changing, best athlete in the draft, and you choose
to make a trade. So Hunter ends up going to
the Jaguars. Defensive lineman ends up going to the Browns,
and probably the biggest shock shode or Sanders not even
picked he's waiting till today to find out if he
(01:20):
we'll tuck David off the ledge here a second, in
a moment we also have there is no bigger story.
Pope Francis's funeral is tomorrow. The President is making his way.
I think he leaves in about fifteen minutes for Vatican City, Rome,
and then I guess the correspondents dinner tomorrow night goes
without the President, who is at the Pope's funeral. And
(01:41):
then because the President is so busy and traveling, obviously
there's no Friday with forty seven today. But do not
tune out these three things that we're going to cover
our hands down potentially the three most significant things we've
talked about since your morning show launched almost two years ago.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
That's how big these are.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
And one could go back, you know, just the way
we slowly built this house of cards, abandoning god. All
gods are the same moral relativism. You're a god. Whatever
you think is truth is truth. And then what personhood
is and yahda YadA, all the way up the wokeness chain,
and then suddenly it begins to fall. And now we're
(02:22):
getting to the root of it. And that is a personhood.
So please do not tune out. I know you want
to laugh and do Friday with forty seven, but I
promise you the three things we're going to talk about
you're not going to hear anywhere else, and you're going
to be way more prepared to understand what's happening and
what's coming next for having listened. I want to start
low and work my way up. David Sinnati's our senior contributor.
(02:44):
Let's start with this Axios story, which is a warning.
I mean, this is the left warning the left about
what's going on, and that is the socialist justice Democrats
are targeting older incumbents and here they come. Now Hog's
been given his warning. You either do not get involved
in primaries or you're no longer vice chair. These are
(03:06):
major moves that are going to affect the midterm election.
And just to make the long story short, if he succeeds,
and if they do target old incumbents, then you're going
to have young unknowns in generals against Republicans. You already
have a problem losing seats and redistricting because of population shifting.
I mean, the Democrats are at a real crossroads here,
still looking for a leader still looking for a message,
(03:27):
and now they're looking for numbers, which is something they
always had in their favor. Well, they're just swapping their
draft picks. They decided. I knew you were bitter. I
have no explanation. I'm serious. I have no explanation for
what they did.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Oh, of course I told you they were going to
do that.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
We knew that was going to happen because they need
a lot of football players, not just one.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah, but well you got two and one in him
and you walked away from it.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Of course, you know that's you know they've had Let's
not go there. I'm sadness, that's all I have to say.
All right, this factor sadness. Yeah, what's going on right
now is.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
The notion that you can make the generational shift right now,
and that when it comes to congressional races, if your
new look in twenty twenty six is all youth and
all energy versus the decrepit.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Old people that are around.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Because the Republicans have plenty old folks in the Senate
as well, so they're going to make it a youth
movement and try to see what they can do with that.
They've got nothing else going so I mean, it's not
necessarily a bad strategy. So the look is, you, Now,
what we don't know, Michael, is where the money is
going to come from. We don't know if Soros and
the billionaire Cartels, Podessa and others are going to sit
(04:47):
out or they're going to play serious.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
So it's a question. But here's what's interesting.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Nobody likes congress right collectively, they're worthless, lowest rated.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Oh but my congressman, Oh but my senator.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
So you start removing people like Schumer, well, Schumer for
AOC in twenty twenty, that could make sense that that
would be a bad example. But you know, you remove
Nancy Pelosi for some unknown when they're already kind of
leaning towards away from the party, I don't know, that
could set up some disadvantaged general matchups that could become costly.
(05:25):
Now they're gonna deal with hog before that, right, because
he either going to give up on this vision or.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
They're going to throw them out.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
So that that proof there's a civil war within the
party and it's playing out for everyone to see. I mean,
when Axios has to give a warning to the left
from the from the ivory tower of the left.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Sure, sure, but again, uh, and Axios does represent in
essence the Steve Jobs's widow's money. And that's the Axios
and Atlantic. That's one piece of the billionaire community. There
are several others. But again we've got to remember the
what we're replacing here are democrats with democrats. So in
(06:03):
regards to the ultimate changing of the House, once a
person gets into Congress, their entire perspective changes, their entire
credibility changes. If they can slip some young people in
in the name of a change and pull off a
couple of seat changes and gain control of the House.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I mean, they got nothing else going for him, so
they gave everything he needed. Right, you create the greatest
hoax in Joe Biden. And now everybody knows he was old,
he was cognitively impaired, and you hit it. Now he
does a youth movement. Well, we'll see how it shakes out.
All right, Let's get to these other two. These are
the biggest I want everyone to listen to.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
All right.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Here's how the LGBTQ agenda began. First demanding tolerance, tolerance
that biblically were required and are founding fathers constitutionally required
and they got it. Then they wanted acceptance and then
ultimately validation. And don't miss this participate not to be
(07:01):
cute and clever, participation like I guess I have to
be gay to but make these people believe that I'm
not against them. No participation in terms of indoctrination and education.
And so we would have, you know, drag queens coming
into elementary classrooms, or they would start indoctrinating kids with
the LGBDQ messaging and there'd be an opt out and
(07:25):
then suddenly, no, there's no opt out.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Your kids have to go through it.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Well, that little going too far is going to take
them all the way to the Supreme Court. How important
is this ruling? What does it mean for parents everywhere
listening right now?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yeah, and it's not just a single case, Michael, this
is going on around the country. I can remember in
nineteen eighty four the first time we got involved in
a school book discussion with a suburban school district that
had brought in a book titled Life and Health.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
It had a.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Picture and several paragraphs commenting all on what then was
considered the gay lifestyle, and by comparison, now it's barely
even a footnote in the debate compared to the books
that we're talking about. Now, that particular debate created a
huge battle in a suburban school district in the Midwest
(08:16):
that was amazing, and three school board members were elected
and things changed for a very brief period of time.
My point of bringing it up is now this one paragraph,
one picture. Now look at the texts that are going
before the United States Supreme Court. We have a Supreme
Court justice talking about bondage and drag queens in an
(08:36):
oral argument in the court, and we're talking about little children.
We're talking about first, second, third, fourth graders. The slippery
slope of this has been a disaster.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Could this take us all the way back to personhood?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Well, And now that brings us to the next piece
of the puzzle, because since two thousand and three in
the Lawrence Vie Texas decision, the Supreme Court has been
playing around with Justice Kennedy's doctrine of personhood, which equates
personhood with sexuality in regards to preference, proclivity, or practice.
That's never happened before. And once you categorize a behavior
(09:11):
as personhood, then it becomes a protected personhood. And that's
what the Court's been dealing with finessing and ignoring except
for the Scalia descents before he passed away. On what
a disaster this would lead to. This is a major confrontation,
and the Court has an opportunity to roll back the
horrible doctrine of the Kennedy approach on this. This is
(09:32):
going to be to go back to a normal biological reality.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
This is going to clearly be my bias. But the
very foundation that, in my opinion, has built all of
this dysfunction that led to we don't even know how
to define a woman. We don't know what bathroom to
go to. Right, The foundation or justice can't even answer
that question. Right, But the foundation of all that dysfunction,
(09:56):
if we come back to that personhood, that's at the
end of the house of cards, right, it truly is.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
It gives the Court a chance to roll back and say,
excuse me, that was what courts is commonly called as
dicta That wasn't a finding of the court or a
ruling of the court. That was commentary that's been left
there but built upon through the Lawrence case in regards
to Texas and the law home regarding homosexuality. And then
there's the Windsor case overturning the Federal Defensive Marriage Act.
(10:24):
Then there's California Prop.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Eight.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Then there's finally Obergefeld dictating the same sex marriage for
all fifty states, all built upon this notion that you
can't discriminate against personhood. But is there a difference between
biological reality and sexual proclivity, preference, or practice. That's the question.
The court is ducked, and now they have an opportunity.
(10:47):
That's one piece of it. Then you've got parental rights.
Now that's another whole issue in regards to these textbooks,
in particular because the Court has a much clearer precedent
on parental rights, custodial rights, and the responsibility of raising
and educating children. So there's two ways where this house
of cards could begin to fall.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, who do these kids belonged to? If it's a village,
they belong to the government. That's what Hillary would have wanted.
I'll never forget and tell. So Oklahoma, after my girls
were born, now this is twenty twenty, twenty years ago,
and there was a knock on the door and these
people were we understand you had a new baby, and
I'm like, who are you? And they were like, you know, well,
(11:25):
we're just here to check up on how everything's going.
And that's when I realized they're checking up on me,
not my baby, you know, and I slam the door
in their face. But this is when I go back
and look over a course of lifetime.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I mean, Roe v.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Wade would be in there, but in terms of one
nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all,
the Kennedy personhood and if this unravels that the two
biggest things in my lifetime, hands down.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
And what's ironical? And nobody's talking about it. Nobody, David,
nobody on earth.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
While you did a survey of one hundred judges, I
would venture to say ninety percent of the judges on
the bench don't even know what we're talking about.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
That's tragic. Let the let alone the lawyers and guys.
If you had listened to the oral arguments the other day.
Even Kagan was against this, She was like, well, forget
religious views. You don't have to happen. This is just
a parent view. So this may go seven to two
and again, and we'll see, we'll see.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
But the key is in all of this is the
understanding that local school districts won't do what the Supreme
Court says anyhow unless parents enforce it. Because I can
tell you going back to nineteen eighty four, they have
defied every citizen action, every legislative action, and every court dictate,
and they do at the local school or what they
(12:50):
did ever they get old.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Look what they did during COVID.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
COVID was a great Remember what we always said, COVID
revealed way more than it did.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Everything reveal. And that's why people like.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Podesta and George Soros and the Obamas and the Clintons
can sit back and laugh because they know our children
are being totally dominated by this philosophy in public education
as far as opt outs. I mean that is the
parents are suddenly realizing they're not going to do what
you tell them to do. They're going to do whatever
they want to do because see them can't stop them.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
What's the American lesson here?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Going too far is what created this, and going too
far is what's going to end it.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
There's something profound there, isn't it. And there's a simple
lesson in this as well.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Everything that they're doing we pay for when the American
people stand up and say no more. School levies and
no more tax funding at the state level. We're done
with you people. You go broke, like you're making us
go broke.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
The whole thing changes. It's your Morning Show with Michael
del Chano.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I want to get back to Davis and Audi. So
we're talking about this Supreme Court ruling that's about to come.
The LGBTQ agenda went too far. I mean we're talking
about kindergarten, first and second grade, pro LGBTQ and doctrination,
and there were opt outs for parents. There was actually
and it was during Kavanaugh who really shined throughout this,
but it was during his questioning of their attorney. He said,
(14:14):
what's the problem with an opt out? The answer was, well,
too many parents are opting out. I mean, that was
a really bad moment for them. But the question is
LGBTQ agenda went from tolerance to acceptance to find the
validation and now an insistence on participation, and it's going
too far and it's going to get thrown out by
the Supreme Court. Now the question is will that lead
(14:36):
to personhood or will it take the Pentagon suit potentially
to get us to personhood. But that's in two minutes.
David walk us through. It's one thing to get this
for parents, and that's a good victory, But how could
the court actually take it another step?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Or will they wait for the Pentagon case. It's hard
to know.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
But with the pentcase Pentagon case coming right behind it,
no wheres the Pentagon has just decided that they will
five what the Trump administration is attempting to do, and
they will begin to extend again same sex medical benefits
to personnel of the United States Armed Forces as well
as their spouses. Well, the Commander in chief is saying, no,
you won't. This is not what we're going to pay
(15:16):
for any longer. So there's a lawsuit now that's waiting
to happen. This is going to be another opportunity for
the court to revisit the idea that we've created a
new class of human being, which is whatever you want
to be based upon your choice of sexuality for.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Whatever moment to make a change.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Yes, And so there's a tremendous situation going on here.
One thing about that Textbook case we got to remember is,
in spite of all the talk of opt outs, this
became a mandatory program in Maryland. They refused. We're talking
about kindergarten's first rader second graders. They refuse to let
the parents opt the children out, and that happens all
(15:53):
the time, missing forms and oh we didn't know, and
Johnny forgot to give it to us, or you didn't
make the list.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
That's why I framed in such a way. First they
wanted tolerance, then they wanted acceptance, then they wanted validation.
Finally mandatory participation, and that was a step too far.
This is Richard from Clovilla, Georgia, and my morning show
is your Morning Show with Michael dale Giorneau.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Hi, it's Michael.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Your Morning show can be heard on great radio stations
across the country, like News Talk ninety two point one
and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee, or thirteen hundred
The Patriot in Tulsa or Talk six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
We invite you to listen.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Live while you're getting ready in the morning, to take
us along for the drive to work. But as we
always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining us
for the podcast. All right, So we have kind of
been laying out for you what the Democrats are up against.
First of all, population shifts leaving blue states for red states.
It's going to change the number of members of Congress
(17:00):
and therefore the electoral value of states by twenty thirty.
So some blue states are going to lose members of Congress,
some red states are going to gain some. That's a
ticking time bomb for the Democrats. They are right now
without a leader, without a messenger or a message, and
they got a war within their own party. And now
(17:21):
they got a vice chair of the DNC that's wanting
to target older establishment Democrats as the Justice Socialists want
to attack and target anybody that isn't socialist. These are
all brewing problems, and then you know what, you have sensible,
regular Democrats who would like some common sense. I want
(17:44):
to play this for you because this is probably not
on very many radars outside of the state of Florida.
But this is Senator Jason Piso. He's a Democrat minority
leader in the Senate, and he stood up and made
this announcement.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Listen toomb I'm finding may not want it.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
There'll be a caucus meeting later this afternoon where I
hope that the members of the Democratic Caucus will elect
a new leader for today. I fedexed my voter registration
form to change my party affiliation to no party affiliation.
Joe Scott should receive that by eight am tomorrow morning
in Broward County. And here's why our constituents are craving
practical leaders, not political hacks. We are entrusted to be
(18:29):
guided by our conscience. And while I suppose it's easier
in theory than it is an application, even my worst
detractors have no valid claim that I can be bullied,
that I can be bought or even borrowed for a
special interest. I am my father's son, even in his death.
I am my mother's son. While she is still alive.
(18:50):
I will not miss another one of her birthdays. And
I will return to who I was when I became
a young man, independent, independent in thought, in my passion,
and not consultants whom this was.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
By the way, he goes on to say, this is
where I want to hone in partisanship holds us back
rather than propels us forward, less gets done, not more
so David to not he's in your contributor, your morning show.
(19:25):
What does this speech say to you? And how many
people is he talking for? I mean, I suspect there's
a lot more Jason Pizos, not just in state senates
in state houses, but in the United States House and
the United States Senate and sitting in homes across America.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
He speaks for a lot.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
And the bottom line on this, Michael, is this is
the endless curse of the two party structure inside massive
state and federal budgets. If you play along with the
party system, even if you're not in power, you stay
employed and you still stay at the gravy train. But
if you genuinely want to see problems resolved and people
(20:08):
represented and things moving forward in a positive direction, sit
down and shut up. It's not a part of the game.
This is a professional political class. And Piezo at least
had the courage to go into the non affiliated link
in the Florida system of registration now when we started
working in Florida years ago. Because Florida is a close
(20:32):
primary state, you've got to declare in advance, well in
advance of a primary what party you're a part of
before you can go and vote. And that's a very
restrictive mechanism. It's designed to protect the political parties. You
had maybe ten to fifteen percent of the actual registered
voters saying they were non affiliated, they don't have a party. Well,
(20:56):
now that number has soared, it's well past twenty five percent.
In states in the Midwest, where you have more open
primary systems, you have as many as sixty percent of
the people declaring themselves to be independents. This is the
move upon which Donald Trump capitalized upon, which no one
in the mainstream media can talk about.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
It's the rise of free agency. It is happening. It
is real.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
That is what elected Donald Trump twice. That's the reality.
And now it's filtering down into major legislative races, and
it scares the establishment to death because they've got control
of all these budgets based on the two party system.
And if you don't get everything you want, we'll still
take care of you. Don't worry. If your party's not
in power, we still like it. Behind closed doors, we'll
(21:41):
still have a drink, and you just still get what.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
You're looking for.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
What's interesting is and it happened to me personally, and
I know what happened to you personally. It's not like
I left the Republican Party became a Democrat. I have
nothing in common with democrats from worldview to policy view.
My problem with the Republicans were they didn't live what
they believed. Democrats always live what they believe, and more
and more and more and more and more. But what
(22:06):
we're seeing is people unaffiliating from either the Republican or
Democrat party all to no affiliation, all to free agency.
In other words, given enough time, these two party systems
in trouble.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Yeah, and it never was supposed to be that way.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
And if this was just a reactionary mode of which
we're not getting our way either, so let's have a
third party. That's not the answer. The answer is the
parties are not the answer. The United States started without
political parties. We were all in this thing together when
we got started. It took three presidential administrations to get
to people starting political parties. And the reason for it
(22:42):
was we couldn't afford to our outside enemies were so strong,
we couldn't afford to not be united on common sense principles.
Plus our governments were so small. We took care of ourselves,
and then the government took care of the stuff we
wanted to collectively do together. It was a committee of
the whole, so to speak. Now, the biggest budgets in
the world are our governmental budgets, and so the people
(23:03):
that are there are there to protect their turf. And
that's why you've got systems like in the United States
House of Representatives in Congress, where unless you have a
thirty vote majority in the House, you don't really have
a majority. Unless you have sixty vote majority in the Senate,
you don't have a majority because everybody keeps dinking after
everybody else to protect their turf.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
That's why stuff doesn't get done.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Suret's versus skins, us versus them. I mean, it's quote
partisan holds us back rather than propels us forward. The
party that my dad volunteered for with JFK when he
was eighteen years old in the nineteen sixties is not
the party of today. The only thing I would say
critical about the Cenater is you just figured that out.
I mean, the greatest pendulum of my lifetime is from
(23:47):
John F. Kennedy to Ted Kennedy and that was the
same womb you're just catching on to that. I thought
that this was very, very interesting when we talk about
the two party system and how things are playing out.
We had the story yesterday of Dick Durbin deciding not
to run. I don't know if that was because he
(24:08):
was targeted. I don't know if that's part of this,
but independence making decisions, swinging swing states, but they're still
in power. How does this all play out and does
it play out in the very very near future, Well,
midterm coming up, Michael.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
As recently as twenty ten, when the Tea Party movement
was at its biggest point, they could have tipped the
scales in this direction, but they became consumed that literally
the Republican Party drove in their big busses and their
big budgets and bought the Tea Party and brought them
back inside the tent. Now, I want to make it
clear that I don't think you're saying and I know
I'm not saying that we don't that we think that
(24:53):
the political parties should be illegal. And my question people
can associate with whoever they want to and do whatever
they want to do as many parties as they want
to have.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
The question is they're not ellege, shouldn't be legal. They're
just irrelevant.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
And the reason they're irrelevant is because they are so
indoctrinated into doing nothing but controlling the money that they
can't get anything done, and they have internal rules and
mechanisms like the filibuster situation in the United States Senate. Now,
I'm not saying that it's absolutely the worst idea in
the world, but when you've got to get sixty votes
(25:25):
to get even to a vote, what difference does it
make that you have a majority.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
This we've got to understand.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
You don't have a majority till you have sixty, which
means you can't solve a problem until you get to sixty.
Obamacare didn't pass until the Democrats had sixty votes in
the Senate, and within months, as soon as they lost that,
they lost that vote. They lost that sixtieth vote when
Ted Kennedy died and the Republicans took over. This is
not the way the republic is supposed to work. We
(25:51):
can have parties until we're blue in the face for
associations and political ideals, but sooner or later there's got
to be a common good that people drop their affiliation
in their power bases to solve a problem. I guess
the answer I was, now, what only happens we're on
desperate crisis, but what about every day?
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
The answer I was kind of thinking of is well
for the Republicans, they have this wild card of trump Ism,
and if he succeeds and he hands off the torch
rather than try to run for a third term, they
can continue and move forward in this what is kind
of like a new American Party. Whereas the Democrats they
continue to have a good portion of their party that
wants to get even more left when they've been exposed
(26:28):
for being two left. I think in this midterm it's
more problematic for Democrats and Republicans.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
And I hope I'm not proven wrong.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I thought one of the biggest stories of the day,
not just today's Axio's warning to the left from the left,
how about the Atlantic finally amazingly admitting that Donald Trump
did a flawless job solving the border problem. It reminded us,
isn't it possible? I mean, was there anything? And I'll
reverse it so you can see it more clearly, Listeners,
was there anything Barack Obama could have done that you
(26:56):
would have supported? Is there anything Donald Trump can do
that the left would support? That's when this two party
system becomes completely dysfunctional.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
And the greatest irony is the reason that Donald Trump
will prevail in court in regards to all of these
suits against them. In regards to immigration, is he did
it according to the abiding laws.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Now here's a chakra for you, Michael.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Some of Trump's executive orders are going to be overturned,
and that's a good idea. The president should not attempt
to alter elections based upon executive order. That is the
responsibility of state legislatures according to the constitution.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
That's the argument that we made in COVID.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
And it doesn't matter whether it's a Democrat or a
Republican in office. Executive orders should not run the country.
But when the president's operating on the basis of Congressional
statute and his constitutional role as commander in chief, you
better be darn well certain he has rights and he
has authority. And so when it comes to the situation
of the border, he acted within the law.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
He acted forth right.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
And every president since Ronald Reagan could have done what
Donald Trump did, but they lacked the courage to do it.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
And so the commendation is well deserved.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Davidson, of course, is the co host of The Public
Square HURT on two hundred stations, HURT on your iHeartRadio
app or on demand anytime at the Public Square dot com.
Thanks for your extra time this week, have a great weekend.
We'll talk again next week, all right, if you Michael,
if you're just waking up. This is another thing David
and I have talked about for years. Birth rates. It's
a problem in the world, and it's a big problem
in the US.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
New DNA released by the CDC says about three point
six million babies were born in the US last year.
That's a one percent increase from twenty twenty three, which
saw an all time low birth rate in the US.
The Trump administration has been considering new policies to encourage
women to have more babies, including giving five thousand dollars
in cash to each woman.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Who gives birth. When asked about it.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
By reporters this week, President Trump said the proposal sounded
like a good idea to him. I'm Mark Mayfield, President Trump,
suggesting he gave Russia a week to reach a ceasefire day.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
Speaking from the White House, Trump was asked about possible
sanctions against Russia if it keeps bombing Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Would rather answer that question in a week. I want
to say we can have a deal. No reason to
answered no, But I won't be happy. Let me put
it that way. Things will happen.
Speaker 7 (29:15):
Trump added that he doesn't believe Russia is an obstacle
to peace. Trump again said he's not happy with Putin
about strikes conducted by Russia on the capital of Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
I'm Brian shook.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Well, the funerals is tomorrow for Pope Francis. Donald Trump
will be there along with leaders from around the world.
And then it's all up to the cardinals se quester
themselves in a conclave and choose the next Pope. And
they're already meeting on that selection.
Speaker 8 (29:41):
Nolan commented on the meetings following a massy Hill Thursday
night at the top of Rome's famous Spanish steps.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Well, each of the cardinals will have a chance to speak.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
They don't speak.
Speaker 7 (29:52):
About you know, and we think this cardinal would be
a good pope.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
No, they speak about.
Speaker 7 (29:57):
The beauty and the challenges.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
Of the church in their dioser Dolan was part of
the conclave that tos Pope frances in twenty thirteen. Meanwhile,
scores of people from around the world continue to line
up to see the late Pope's body at Saint Peter's
with silica More than one hundred thousand people are expected
in Rome Saturday, the day of Pope France's funeral. I'm
Tammy Truheo, and.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
The NFL Draft took place.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
The first overall pick, cam Warden, went right where we
thought he would the Tennessee Titans. The second pick went
where we thought he'd go, but not to where he
would go. Cleveland trades it away, Jacksonville gets Hunter, and
still no one has taken Sanders.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
I wonder if he'll end up in Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
NBA Playoffs Thunder up three games to nothing now after
winning one fourteen one Await over the grizz Pistons lost
by two to the Knicks.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
The Knicks are now up two games to one.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Clippers one seventeen eighty three big over the Nuggets. They
lead that series two games to one on the ice,
the Blues one, finally seven to two over the Jets.
Winnipick still leads the series two games to one. Lightning
lost two to one of the Panthers. Panthers leave the
series two games to nothing, and Baseball Giants over the Brewers.
Dbacks lost to the Rays, Nats fell to the O's
and beat the Rangers. Birthdays Today al Paccino is eighty
(31:04):
four years old. Actress Renee Zelviger I know she had
you at Hello is fifty five and Hank's areas sixty.
If it's your birthday, Happy birthday. We're so glad you
were born. And thanks for making your morning show a
part of your big day.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
This is your morning show with Michael Del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Ry and Neil, our national correspondent, always gets the final story,
and Rory the big story today really the only big story.
Pope Francis remembering his life, laying him to rest. Funeral
plans tomorrow. Donald Trump, President of the United States, will
be there, as will leaders from around the world. Give
us all the skinny on the funeral tomorrow, because I
think we have to get up very very early to watch.
Speaker 9 (31:42):
Right four am Eastern three Central time, President Trump and
the First Lady, Malania Trump about to leave from Washington,
arriving in Rome about midnight. They'll spend the night, go
to the funeral, and then leave immediately from the Vatican,
get back on Air Force one and return to Bedminster.
There will be what one hundred and thirty delegations that
(32:02):
include fifty five zero heads of state, ten reigning monarchs
all expected to attend. Former President Joe Biden is also
expected to be among those in attendance for the service,
as tens of thousands of people that passed by the
coffin of the Pope. Around two o'clock this afternoon Eastern
time eight pm there in Rome, they will seal the
(32:23):
Pope's coffin. The service will be held in Saint Peter's Square,
open air should be beautiful weather for the service tomorrow,
and then he will be entombed at the St.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Mary Major Basilica there in Rome.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Which adds to the many firsts that really represented Francis's life, choosing,
you know, to be late to rest somewhere different.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Than the Vatican. Let me ask you this.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
I'm not a Catholic, so I don't feel comfortable commenting,
but my observation is everybody loved the spirit of Francis,
the humility, the desire to you know, be you know,
the difference was in holding doctrine how much, because it
would be nice if the papacy could move forward with
(33:12):
his spirit and humility, but maybe make some changes with
the doctrine. I know that's what the conclave is all
is going to be all about I wonder how it
shapes how he's remembered tomorrow.
Speaker 9 (33:22):
Well, I think it was also a message that the
church is open to everyone. You know, we've seen explosive
growth with the Catholic Church across Africa, obviously in South
America as well, since he was the first South American pope.
But I think it was this message of inclusion when
for so many years many Catholics, the cafeteria Catholics as
they call them, the people who pick and choose which
(33:44):
doctrine to follow, you know, we're.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Making very limited choices.
Speaker 9 (33:49):
But now I think more of those cafeteria Catholics felt
that they could choose from more of the policies, opening
things up for divorced couples so that they could remarry
and stay in the church, being more acceptive of homosexuals
as well. So a lot of easing of a lot
of a lot of the doctrine and the view of
the view.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
The view in America is not necessarily the view in
the world. Right, And again you can't. I just I
loved everything about Jesus did the same things, only Jesus
always ended with now go and sin no more. And
so I think there's some doctrinal tension there, but boy,
there's a lot about this guy to celebrate in his spirit.
(34:29):
Some may say he didn't get doctrine right, but he's
certainly got humility and love right. And I hope that
is celebrated. I hope it made sense trying to be
nice to me. Yeah, Rory, great reporting all week long.
We'll talk again next week.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
We're all in this together. This is Your Morning Show
with Michael Hill, Joan no
Hey, gang, it's me Michael. You can listen to your
morning show live. Make us a part of your morning
routine or your drive to work companion on great stations
like Talk Radio ninety eight point three and fifteen ten
WLAC in Nashville, Tupelos News and Talk one oh one
point one and ten sixty WKMQ, and how about Talk
six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. Love to have you
(00:21):
listen live, but are grateful you're here now for the
podcast Enjoy one.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael O'Dell Jordan.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
First overall pick in the draft went the way we
thought it would, cam Ward to the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
The second overall pick was the right guy.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
He just didn't go where we thought he'd go because
Cleveland decided to trade it away.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
You have the most.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Game changing, best athlete in the draft, and you choose
to make a trade. So Hunter ends up going to
the Jaguars. Defensive lineman ends up going to the Browns,
and probably the biggest shock shode or Sanders not even
picked he's waiting till today to find out if he
(01:20):
we'll tuck David off the ledge here a second, in
a moment we also have there is no bigger story.
Pope Francis's funeral is tomorrow. The President is making his way.
I think he leaves in about fifteen minutes for Vatican City, Rome,
and then I guess the correspondents dinner tomorrow night goes
without the President, who is at the Pope's funeral. And
(01:41):
then because the President is so busy and traveling, obviously
there's no Friday with forty seven today. But do not
tune out these three things that we're going to cover
our hands down potentially the three most significant things we've
talked about since your morning show launched almost two years ago.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
That's how big these are.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
And one could go back, you know, just the way
we slowly built this house of cards, abandoning god. All
gods are the same moral relativism. You're a god. Whatever
you think is truth is truth. And then what personhood
is and yahda YadA, all the way up the wokeness chain,
and then suddenly it begins to fall. And now we're
(02:22):
getting to the root of it. And that is a personhood.
So please do not tune out. I know you want
to laugh and do Friday with forty seven, but I
promise you the three things we're going to talk about
you're not going to hear anywhere else, and you're going
to be way more prepared to understand what's happening and
what's coming next for having listened. I want to start
low and work my way up. David Sinnati's our senior contributor.
(02:44):
Let's start with this Axios story, which is a warning.
I mean, this is the left warning the left about
what's going on, and that is the socialist justice Democrats
are targeting older incumbents and here they come. Now Hog's
been given his warning. You either do not get involved
in primaries or you're no longer vice chair. These are
(03:06):
major moves that are going to affect the midterm election.
And just to make the long story short, if he succeeds,
and if they do target old incumbents, then you're going
to have young unknowns in generals against Republicans. You already
have a problem losing seats and redistricting because of population shifting.
I mean, the Democrats are at a real crossroads here,
still looking for a leader still looking for a message,
(03:27):
and now they're looking for numbers, which is something they
always had in their favor. Well, they're just swapping their
draft picks. They decided. I knew you were bitter. I
have no explanation. I'm serious. I have no explanation for
what they did.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Oh, of course I told you they were going to
do that.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
We knew that was going to happen because they need
a lot of football players, not just one.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah, but well you got two and one in him
and you walked away from it.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Of course, you know that's you know they've had Let's
not go there. I'm sadness, that's all I have to say.
All right, this factor sadness. Yeah, what's going on right
now is.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
The notion that you can make the generational shift right now,
and that when it comes to congressional races, if your
new look in twenty twenty six is all youth and
all energy versus the decrepit.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Old people that are around.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Because the Republicans have plenty old folks in the Senate
as well, so they're going to make it a youth
movement and try to see what they can do with that.
They've got nothing else going so I mean, it's not
necessarily a bad strategy. So the look is, you, Now,
what we don't know, Michael, is where the money is
going to come from. We don't know if Soros and
the billionaire Cartels, Podessa and others are going to sit
(04:47):
out or they're going to play serious.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
So it's a question. But here's what's interesting.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Nobody likes congress right collectively, they're worthless, lowest rated.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Oh but my congressman, Oh but my senator.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
So you start removing people like Schumer, well, Schumer for
AOC in twenty twenty, that could make sense that that
would be a bad example. But you know, you remove
Nancy Pelosi for some unknown when they're already kind of
leaning towards away from the party, I don't know, that
could set up some disadvantaged general matchups that could become costly.
(05:25):
Now they're gonna deal with hog before that, right, because
he either going to give up on this vision or.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
They're going to throw them out.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
So that that proof there's a civil war within the
party and it's playing out for everyone to see. I mean,
when Axios has to give a warning to the left
from the from the ivory tower of the left.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Sure, sure, but again, uh, and Axios does represent in
essence the Steve Jobs's widow's money. And that's the Axios
and Atlantic. That's one piece of the billionaire community. There
are several others. But again we've got to remember the
what we're replacing here are democrats with democrats. So in
(06:03):
regards to the ultimate changing of the House, once a
person gets into Congress, their entire perspective changes, their entire
credibility changes. If they can slip some young people in
in the name of a change and pull off a
couple of seat changes and gain control of the House.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I mean, they got nothing else going for him, so
they gave everything he needed. Right, you create the greatest
hoax in Joe Biden. And now everybody knows he was old,
he was cognitively impaired, and you hit it. Now he
does a youth movement. Well, we'll see how it shakes out.
All right, Let's get to these other two. These are
the biggest I want everyone to listen to.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
All right.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Here's how the LGBTQ agenda began. First demanding tolerance, tolerance
that biblically were required and are founding fathers constitutionally required
and they got it. Then they wanted acceptance and then
ultimately validation. And don't miss this participate not to be
(07:01):
cute and clever, participation like I guess I have to
be gay to but make these people believe that I'm
not against them. No participation in terms of indoctrination and education.
And so we would have, you know, drag queens coming
into elementary classrooms, or they would start indoctrinating kids with
the LGBDQ messaging and there'd be an opt out and
(07:25):
then suddenly, no, there's no opt out.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Your kids have to go through it.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Well, that little going too far is going to take
them all the way to the Supreme Court. How important
is this ruling? What does it mean for parents everywhere
listening right now?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yeah, and it's not just a single case, Michael, this
is going on around the country. I can remember in
nineteen eighty four the first time we got involved in
a school book discussion with a suburban school district that
had brought in a book titled Life and Health.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
It had a.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Picture and several paragraphs commenting all on what then was
considered the gay lifestyle, and by comparison, now it's barely
even a footnote in the debate compared to the books
that we're talking about. Now, that particular debate created a
huge battle in a suburban school district in the Midwest
(08:16):
that was amazing, and three school board members were elected
and things changed for a very brief period of time.
My point of bringing it up is now this one paragraph,
one picture. Now look at the texts that are going
before the United States Supreme Court. We have a Supreme
Court justice talking about bondage and drag queens in an
(08:36):
oral argument in the court, and we're talking about little children.
We're talking about first, second, third, fourth graders. The slippery
slope of this has been a disaster.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Could this take us all the way back to personhood?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Well, And now that brings us to the next piece
of the puzzle, because since two thousand and three in
the Lawrence Vie Texas decision, the Supreme Court has been
playing around with Justice Kennedy's doctrine of personhood, which equates
personhood with sexuality in regards to preference, proclivity, or practice.
That's never happened before. And once you categorize a behavior
(09:11):
as personhood, then it becomes a protected personhood. And that's
what the Court's been dealing with finessing and ignoring except
for the Scalia descents before he passed away. On what
a disaster this would lead to. This is a major confrontation,
and the Court has an opportunity to roll back the
horrible doctrine of the Kennedy approach on this. This is
(09:32):
going to be to go back to a normal biological reality.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
This is going to clearly be my bias. But the
very foundation that, in my opinion, has built all of
this dysfunction that led to we don't even know how
to define a woman. We don't know what bathroom to
go to. Right, The foundation or justice can't even answer
that question. Right, But the foundation of all that dysfunction,
(09:56):
if we come back to that personhood, that's at the
end of the house of cards, right, it truly is.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
It gives the Court a chance to roll back and say,
excuse me, that was what courts is commonly called as
dicta That wasn't a finding of the court or a
ruling of the court. That was commentary that's been left
there but built upon through the Lawrence case in regards
to Texas and the law home regarding homosexuality. And then
there's the Windsor case overturning the Federal Defensive Marriage Act.
(10:24):
Then there's California Prop.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Eight.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Then there's finally Obergefeld dictating the same sex marriage for
all fifty states, all built upon this notion that you
can't discriminate against personhood. But is there a difference between
biological reality and sexual proclivity, preference, or practice. That's the question.
The court is ducked, and now they have an opportunity.
(10:47):
That's one piece of it. Then you've got parental rights.
Now that's another whole issue in regards to these textbooks,
in particular because the Court has a much clearer precedent
on parental rights, custodial rights, and the responsibility of raising
and educating children. So there's two ways where this house
of cards could begin to fall.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, who do these kids belonged to? If it's a village,
they belong to the government. That's what Hillary would have wanted.
I'll never forget and tell. So Oklahoma, after my girls
were born, now this is twenty twenty, twenty years ago,
and there was a knock on the door and these
people were we understand you had a new baby, and
I'm like, who are you? And they were like, you know, well,
(11:25):
we're just here to check up on how everything's going.
And that's when I realized they're checking up on me,
not my baby, you know, and I slam the door
in their face. But this is when I go back
and look over a course of lifetime.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I mean, Roe v.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Wade would be in there, but in terms of one
nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all,
the Kennedy personhood and if this unravels that the two
biggest things in my lifetime, hands down.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
And what's ironical? And nobody's talking about it. Nobody, David,
nobody on earth.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
While you did a survey of one hundred judges, I
would venture to say ninety percent of the judges on
the bench don't even know what we're talking about.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
That's tragic. Let the let alone the lawyers and guys.
If you had listened to the oral arguments the other day.
Even Kagan was against this, She was like, well, forget
religious views. You don't have to happen. This is just
a parent view. So this may go seven to two
and again, and we'll see, we'll see.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
But the key is in all of this is the
understanding that local school districts won't do what the Supreme
Court says anyhow unless parents enforce it. Because I can
tell you going back to nineteen eighty four, they have
defied every citizen action, every legislative action, and every court dictate,
and they do at the local school or what they
(12:50):
did ever they get old.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Look what they did during COVID.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
COVID was a great Remember what we always said, COVID
revealed way more than it did.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Everything reveal. And that's why people like.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Podesta and George Soros and the Obamas and the Clintons
can sit back and laugh because they know our children
are being totally dominated by this philosophy in public education
as far as opt outs. I mean that is the
parents are suddenly realizing they're not going to do what
you tell them to do. They're going to do whatever
they want to do because see them can't stop them.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
What's the American lesson here?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Going too far is what created this, and going too
far is what's going to end it.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
There's something profound there, isn't it. And there's a simple
lesson in this as well.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Everything that they're doing we pay for when the American
people stand up and say no more. School levies and
no more tax funding at the state level. We're done
with you people. You go broke, like you're making us
go broke.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
The whole thing changes. It's your Morning Show with Michael
del Chano.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I want to get back to Davis and Audi. So
we're talking about this Supreme Court ruling that's about to come.
The LGBTQ agenda went too far. I mean we're talking
about kindergarten, first and second grade, pro LGBTQ and doctrination,
and there were opt outs for parents. There was actually
and it was during Kavanaugh who really shined throughout this,
but it was during his questioning of their attorney. He said,
(14:14):
what's the problem with an opt out? The answer was, well,
too many parents are opting out. I mean, that was
a really bad moment for them. But the question is
LGBTQ agenda went from tolerance to acceptance to find the
validation and now an insistence on participation, and it's going
too far and it's going to get thrown out by
the Supreme Court. Now the question is will that lead
(14:36):
to personhood or will it take the Pentagon suit potentially
to get us to personhood. But that's in two minutes.
David walk us through. It's one thing to get this
for parents, and that's a good victory, But how could
the court actually take it another step?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Or will they wait for the Pentagon case. It's hard
to know.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
But with the pentcase Pentagon case coming right behind it,
no wheres the Pentagon has just decided that they will
five what the Trump administration is attempting to do, and
they will begin to extend again same sex medical benefits
to personnel of the United States Armed Forces as well
as their spouses. Well, the Commander in chief is saying, no,
you won't. This is not what we're going to pay
(15:16):
for any longer. So there's a lawsuit now that's waiting
to happen. This is going to be another opportunity for
the court to revisit the idea that we've created a
new class of human being, which is whatever you want
to be based upon your choice of sexuality for.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Whatever moment to make a change.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Yes, And so there's a tremendous situation going on here.
One thing about that Textbook case we got to remember is,
in spite of all the talk of opt outs, this
became a mandatory program in Maryland. They refused. We're talking
about kindergarten's first rader second graders. They refuse to let
the parents opt the children out, and that happens all
(15:53):
the time, missing forms and oh we didn't know, and
Johnny forgot to give it to us, or you didn't
make the list.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
That's why I framed in such a way. First they
wanted tolerance, then they wanted acceptance, then they wanted validation.
Finally mandatory participation, and that was a step too far.
This is Richard from Clovilla, Georgia, and my morning show
is your Morning Show with Michael dale Giorneau.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Hi, it's Michael.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Your Morning show can be heard on great radio stations
across the country, like News Talk ninety two point one
and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee, or thirteen hundred
The Patriot in Tulsa or Talk six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
We invite you to listen.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Live while you're getting ready in the morning, to take
us along for the drive to work. But as we
always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining us
for the podcast. All right, So we have kind of
been laying out for you what the Democrats are up against.
First of all, population shifts leaving blue states for red states.
It's going to change the number of members of Congress
(17:00):
and therefore the electoral value of states by twenty thirty.
So some blue states are going to lose members of Congress,
some red states are going to gain some. That's a
ticking time bomb for the Democrats. They are right now
without a leader, without a messenger or a message, and
they got a war within their own party. And now
(17:21):
they got a vice chair of the DNC that's wanting
to target older establishment Democrats as the Justice Socialists want
to attack and target anybody that isn't socialist. These are
all brewing problems, and then you know what, you have sensible,
regular Democrats who would like some common sense. I want
(17:44):
to play this for you because this is probably not
on very many radars outside of the state of Florida.
But this is Senator Jason Piso. He's a Democrat minority
leader in the Senate, and he stood up and made
this announcement.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Listen toomb I'm finding may not want it.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
There'll be a caucus meeting later this afternoon where I
hope that the members of the Democratic Caucus will elect
a new leader for today. I fedexed my voter registration
form to change my party affiliation to no party affiliation.
Joe Scott should receive that by eight am tomorrow morning
in Broward County. And here's why our constituents are craving
practical leaders, not political hacks. We are entrusted to be
(18:29):
guided by our conscience. And while I suppose it's easier
in theory than it is an application, even my worst
detractors have no valid claim that I can be bullied,
that I can be bought or even borrowed for a
special interest. I am my father's son, even in his death.
I am my mother's son. While she is still alive.
(18:50):
I will not miss another one of her birthdays. And
I will return to who I was when I became
a young man, independent, independent in thought, in my passion,
and not consultants whom this was.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
By the way, he goes on to say, this is
where I want to hone in partisanship holds us back
rather than propels us forward, less gets done, not more
so David to not he's in your contributor, your morning show.
(19:25):
What does this speech say to you? And how many
people is he talking for? I mean, I suspect there's
a lot more Jason Pizos, not just in state senates
in state houses, but in the United States House and
the United States Senate and sitting in homes across America.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
He speaks for a lot.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
And the bottom line on this, Michael, is this is
the endless curse of the two party structure inside massive
state and federal budgets. If you play along with the
party system, even if you're not in power, you stay
employed and you still stay at the gravy train. But
if you genuinely want to see problems resolved and people
(20:08):
represented and things moving forward in a positive direction, sit
down and shut up. It's not a part of the game.
This is a professional political class. And Piezo at least
had the courage to go into the non affiliated link
in the Florida system of registration now when we started
working in Florida years ago. Because Florida is a close
(20:32):
primary state, you've got to declare in advance, well in
advance of a primary what party you're a part of
before you can go and vote. And that's a very
restrictive mechanism. It's designed to protect the political parties. You
had maybe ten to fifteen percent of the actual registered
voters saying they were non affiliated, they don't have a party. Well,
(20:56):
now that number has soared, it's well past twenty five percent.
In states in the Midwest, where you have more open
primary systems, you have as many as sixty percent of
the people declaring themselves to be independents. This is the
move upon which Donald Trump capitalized upon, which no one
in the mainstream media can talk about.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
It's the rise of free agency. It is happening. It
is real.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
That is what elected Donald Trump twice. That's the reality.
And now it's filtering down into major legislative races, and
it scares the establishment to death because they've got control
of all these budgets based on the two party system.
And if you don't get everything you want, we'll still
take care of you. Don't worry. If your party's not
in power, we still like it. Behind closed doors, we'll
(21:41):
still have a drink, and you just still get what.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
You're looking for.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
What's interesting is and it happened to me personally, and
I know what happened to you personally. It's not like
I left the Republican Party became a Democrat. I have
nothing in common with democrats from worldview to policy view.
My problem with the Republicans were they didn't live what
they believed. Democrats always live what they believe, and more
and more and more and more and more. But what
(22:06):
we're seeing is people unaffiliating from either the Republican or
Democrat party all to no affiliation, all to free agency.
In other words, given enough time, these two party systems
in trouble.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Yeah, and it never was supposed to be that way.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
And if this was just a reactionary mode of which
we're not getting our way either, so let's have a
third party. That's not the answer. The answer is the
parties are not the answer. The United States started without
political parties. We were all in this thing together when
we got started. It took three presidential administrations to get
to people starting political parties. And the reason for it
(22:42):
was we couldn't afford to our outside enemies were so strong,
we couldn't afford to not be united on common sense principles.
Plus our governments were so small. We took care of ourselves,
and then the government took care of the stuff we
wanted to collectively do together. It was a committee of
the whole, so to speak. Now, the biggest budgets in
the world are our governmental budgets, and so the people
(23:03):
that are there are there to protect their turf. And
that's why you've got systems like in the United States
House of Representatives in Congress, where unless you have a
thirty vote majority in the House, you don't really have
a majority. Unless you have sixty vote majority in the Senate,
you don't have a majority because everybody keeps dinking after
everybody else to protect their turf.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
That's why stuff doesn't get done.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Suret's versus skins, us versus them. I mean, it's quote
partisan holds us back rather than propels us forward. The
party that my dad volunteered for with JFK when he
was eighteen years old in the nineteen sixties is not
the party of today. The only thing I would say
critical about the Cenater is you just figured that out.
I mean, the greatest pendulum of my lifetime is from
(23:47):
John F. Kennedy to Ted Kennedy and that was the
same womb you're just catching on to that. I thought
that this was very, very interesting when we talk about
the two party system and how things are playing out.
We had the story yesterday of Dick Durbin deciding not
to run. I don't know if that was because he
(24:08):
was targeted. I don't know if that's part of this,
but independence making decisions, swinging swing states, but they're still
in power. How does this all play out and does
it play out in the very very near future, Well,
midterm coming up, Michael.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
As recently as twenty ten, when the Tea Party movement
was at its biggest point, they could have tipped the
scales in this direction, but they became consumed that literally
the Republican Party drove in their big busses and their
big budgets and bought the Tea Party and brought them
back inside the tent. Now, I want to make it
clear that I don't think you're saying and I know
I'm not saying that we don't that we think that
(24:53):
the political parties should be illegal. And my question people
can associate with whoever they want to and do whatever
they want to do as many parties as they want
to have.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
The question is they're not ellege, shouldn't be legal. They're
just irrelevant.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
And the reason they're irrelevant is because they are so
indoctrinated into doing nothing but controlling the money that they
can't get anything done, and they have internal rules and
mechanisms like the filibuster situation in the United States Senate. Now,
I'm not saying that it's absolutely the worst idea in
the world, but when you've got to get sixty votes
(25:25):
to get even to a vote, what difference does it
make that you have a majority.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
This we've got to understand.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
You don't have a majority till you have sixty, which
means you can't solve a problem until you get to sixty.
Obamacare didn't pass until the Democrats had sixty votes in
the Senate, and within months, as soon as they lost that,
they lost that vote. They lost that sixtieth vote when
Ted Kennedy died and the Republicans took over. This is
not the way the republic is supposed to work. We
(25:51):
can have parties until we're blue in the face for
associations and political ideals, but sooner or later there's got
to be a common good that people drop their affiliation
in their power bases to solve a problem. I guess
the answer I was, now, what only happens we're on
desperate crisis, but what about every day?
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
The answer I was kind of thinking of is well
for the Republicans, they have this wild card of trump Ism,
and if he succeeds and he hands off the torch
rather than try to run for a third term, they
can continue and move forward in this what is kind
of like a new American Party. Whereas the Democrats they
continue to have a good portion of their party that
wants to get even more left when they've been exposed
(26:28):
for being two left. I think in this midterm it's
more problematic for Democrats and Republicans.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
And I hope I'm not proven wrong.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I thought one of the biggest stories of the day,
not just today's Axio's warning to the left from the left,
how about the Atlantic finally amazingly admitting that Donald Trump
did a flawless job solving the border problem. It reminded us,
isn't it possible? I mean, was there anything? And I'll
reverse it so you can see it more clearly, Listeners,
was there anything Barack Obama could have done that you
(26:56):
would have supported? Is there anything Donald Trump can do
that the left would support? That's when this two party
system becomes completely dysfunctional.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
And the greatest irony is the reason that Donald Trump
will prevail in court in regards to all of these
suits against them. In regards to immigration, is he did
it according to the abiding laws.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Now here's a chakra for you, Michael.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Some of Trump's executive orders are going to be overturned,
and that's a good idea. The president should not attempt
to alter elections based upon executive order. That is the
responsibility of state legislatures according to the constitution.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
That's the argument that we made in COVID.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
And it doesn't matter whether it's a Democrat or a
Republican in office. Executive orders should not run the country.
But when the president's operating on the basis of Congressional
statute and his constitutional role as commander in chief, you
better be darn well certain he has rights and he
has authority. And so when it comes to the situation
of the border, he acted within the law.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
He acted forth right.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
And every president since Ronald Reagan could have done what
Donald Trump did, but they lacked the courage to do it.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
And so the commendation is well deserved.
Speaker 1 (28:09):

Square HURT on two hundred stations, HURT on your iHeartRadio

Thanks for your extra time this week, have a great weekend.
We'll talk again next week, all right, if you Michael,
if you're just waking up. This is another thing David
and I have talked about for years. Birth rates. It's
a problem in the world, and it's a big problem
in the US.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
New DNA released by the CDC says about three point
six million babies were born in the US last year.
That's a one percent increase from twenty twenty three, which
saw an all time low birth rate in the US.
The Trump administration has been considering new policies to encourage
women to have more babies, including giving five thousand dollars
in cash to each woman.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Who gives birth. When asked about it.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
By reporters this week, President Trump said the proposal sounded
like a good idea to him. I'm Mark Mayfield, President Trump,
suggesting he gave Russia a week to reach a ceasefire day.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
Speaking from the White House, Trump was asked about possible
sanctions against Russia if it keeps bombing Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Would rather answer that question in a week. I want
to say we can have a deal. No reason to
answered no, But I won't be happy. Let me put
it that way. Things will happen.
Speaker 7 (29:15):
Trump added that he doesn't believe Russia is an obstacle
to peace. Trump again said he's not happy with Putin
about strikes conducted by Russia on the capital of Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
I'm Brian shook.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Well, the funerals is tomorrow for Pope Francis. Donald Trump
will be there along with leaders from around the world.
And then it's all up to the cardinals se quester
themselves in a conclave and choose the next Pope. And
they're already meeting on that selection.
Speaker 8 (29:41):
Nolan commented on the meetings following a massy Hill Thursday
night at the top of Rome's famous Spanish steps.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Well, each of the cardinals will have a chance to speak.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
They don't speak.
Speaker 7 (29:52):
About you know, and we think this cardinal would be
a good pope.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
No, they speak about.
Speaker 7 (29:57):
The beauty and the challenges.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
Of the church in their dioser Dolan was part of
the conclave that tos Pope frances in twenty thirteen. Meanwhile,
scores of people from around the world continue to line
up to see the late Pope's body at Saint Peter's
with silica More than one hundred thousand people are expected
in Rome Saturday, the day of Pope France's funeral. I'm
Tammy Truheo, and.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
The NFL Draft took place.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
The first overall pick, cam Warden, went right where we
thought he would the Tennessee Titans. The second pick went
where we thought he'd go, but not to where he
would go. Cleveland trades it away, Jacksonville gets Hunter, and
still no one has taken Sanders.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
I wonder if he'll end up in Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
NBA Playoffs Thunder up three games to nothing now after
winning one fourteen one Await over the grizz Pistons lost
by two to the Knicks.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
The Knicks are now up two games to one.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Clippers one seventeen eighty three big over the Nuggets. They
lead that series two games to one on the ice,
the Blues one, finally seven to two over the Jets.
Winnipick still leads the series two games to one. Lightning
lost two to one of the Panthers. Panthers leave the
series two games to nothing, and Baseball Giants over the Brewers.
Dbacks lost to the Rays, Nats fell to the O's
and beat the Rangers. Birthdays Today al Paccino is eighty
(31:04):
four years old. Actress Renee Zelviger I know she had
you at Hello is fifty five and Hank's areas sixty.
If it's your birthday, Happy birthday. We're so glad you
were born. And thanks for making your morning show a
part of your big day.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
This is your morning show with Michael Del Chrono.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Ry and Neil, our national correspondent, always gets the final story,
and Rory the big story today really the only big story.
Pope Francis remembering his life, laying him to rest. Funeral
plans tomorrow. Donald Trump, President of the United States, will
be there, as will leaders from around the world. Give
us all the skinny on the funeral tomorrow, because I
think we have to get up very very early to watch.
Speaker 9 (31:42):
Right four am Eastern three Central time, President Trump and
the First Lady, Malania Trump about to leave from Washington,
arriving in Rome about midnight. They'll spend the night, go
to the funeral, and then leave immediately from the Vatican,
get back on Air Force one and return to Bedminster.
There will be what one hundred and thirty delegations that
(32:02):
include fifty five zero heads of state, ten reigning monarchs
all expected to attend. Former President Joe Biden is also
expected to be among those in attendance for the service,
as tens of thousands of people that passed by the
coffin of the Pope. Around two o'clock this afternoon Eastern
time eight pm there in Rome, they will seal the
(32:23):
Pope's coffin. The service will be held in Saint Peter's Square,
open air should be beautiful weather for the service tomorrow,
and then he will be entombed at the St.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Mary Major Basilica there in Rome.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Which adds to the many firsts that really represented Francis's life, choosing,
you know, to be late to rest somewhere different.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Than the Vatican. Let me ask you this.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
I'm not a Catholic, so I don't feel comfortable commenting,
but my observation is everybody loved the spirit of Francis,
the humility, the desire to you know, be you know,
the difference was in holding doctrine how much, because it
would be nice if the papacy could move forward with
(33:12):
his spirit and humility, but maybe make some changes with
the doctrine. I know that's what the conclave is all
is going to be all about I wonder how it
shapes how he's remembered tomorrow.
Speaker 9 (33:22):
Well, I think it was also a message that the
church is open to everyone. You know, we've seen explosive
growth with the Catholic Church across Africa, obviously in South
America as well, since he was the first South American pope.
But I think it was this message of inclusion when
for so many years many Catholics, the cafeteria Catholics as
they call them, the people who pick and choose which
(33:44):
doctrine to follow, you know, we're.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Making very limited choices.
Speaker 9 (33:49):
But now I think more of those cafeteria Catholics felt
that they could choose from more of the policies, opening
things up for divorced couples so that they could remarry
and stay in the church, being more acceptive of homosexuals
as well. So a lot of easing of a lot
of a lot of the doctrine and the view of
the view.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
The view in America is not necessarily the view in
the world. Right, And again you can't. I just I
loved everything about Jesus did the same things, only Jesus
always ended with now go and sin no more. And
so I think there's some doctrinal tension there, but boy,
there's a lot about this guy to celebrate in his spirit.
(34:29):
Some may say he didn't get doctrine right, but he's
certainly got humility and love right. And I hope that
is celebrated. I hope it made sense trying to be
nice to me. Yeah, Rory, great reporting all week long.
We'll talk again next week.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
We're all in this together. This is Your Morning Show
