Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. 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, our Talk six
fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. We invite you to listen
live while you're getting ready in the morning, and to
take us along for the drive to work. But as
we always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining
(00:21):
us for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Two three, Starting your morning off right, 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 John.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Did I mention? Monday? On this show, the sixteen time
Grammy Award winning David Foster will be on the show
with us. How did you get that? He's? This guy?
Is you talk about been thinking a lot about Rush lately?
(00:59):
Talent on loan from God? I mean, this guy's got
a lot of talent. I mean he if anybody can
write a Broadway musical hit, I mean, it's David Foster,
and one based on Betty Boop is what he's working on.
We'll visit with him on Monday. Who knows where Elon
Musk and Donald Trump will be by Monday. For those
(01:21):
of you just waking up, President Trump and Elon Musk
spent much of Thursday engage in a very public war
of words. Musk dropped a bomb that the Jeffrey Epstein
files will go nowhere. And the real reason you haven't
seen him made public is because Trump said him even
called for Trump's impeachment and then said his company SpaceX
will decommission the Dragon spacecraft. Then you had Democrats trying
(01:46):
to get a committee to bring Elon Musk forward to testify.
The Atlantic is printing stories with glee. And now we
get word from the Daily Mail that Elon Musk has
extended an olive branch to Donald Trump and the two
(02:07):
plan to talk today. Could they make up now? And
where's everybody that's taken? Side's going to be? If it's
a stunt, it's stupid. If it's real, it's sad. The
sooner it's over, the better. But I wonder if things
will ever be the same again. I mentioned this earlier
(02:27):
in the Platinum Hour. Usually when I a host, and
that was not on vacation. It was a very important
business trip. But usually when you're gone, the listeners miss you.
I missed you while I was gone, And you know,
we had a lot of things planned for today. That
all has to take a back seat to what you're
waking up and wanting to know the very latest stunt,
(02:49):
and the very latest is. As we go to our
talkback line, Ralph will make very clear that the two
in the spat because the day started playing Neil sadaka
breaking up is hard to do. Quickly, It's turned to
Peaches and Urban Reunited. Haven't you heard they've made up?
You got to keep up. This changes every five seconds
(03:10):
or so. It wouldn't be funny if they had their
call later today and then they get in a bigger fight.
By the way, that's the voice of Ralph Bristol, who
is a legendary talk show host. Used to do mornings
on w TN and Nashville and before that Greenberg, Green
was it Spartanburg? Green Greenville? Spartanburg, isn't it? It's at
(03:31):
the market in South Carolina, Greenville Terrific, terrific? Bright mind? Yeah,
I mean I go back to I've seen this as
a small child. I would watch husbands and wives get
in fights, and one's trash talking one one's trash talking
(03:52):
the other. Then their fights over and everybody else is
chimed in because our culture is in a matrix. By
the time my plane landed from Florida, half this country
on exit taken aside. They were team Musk or they
were Team Trump. That's a big part of the magic
(04:13):
that was developed and built. Telsey Gabbard, a Democrat presidential candidate,
joined forces with Donald Trump to overcome the Biden scandal
slash Kamala handoff. Then you had Bobby Kennedy join, then
(04:33):
Elon Mosk. Then the Google Facebook was such a powerful
and it was so nice. People that you thought were
just on the D team became the A Team America.
And I thought, maybe we're going to get beyond this
shirts and skins nonsense and be Americans and start acknowledging
(04:56):
real problems and solving them together. And then this and
how did two powerful people like this make such a juvenile,
dumb public mistake. And our long visit with David Sonadi,
he said, you can't understand this fight unless you understand
the role of the sin. Can't understand this fight unless
you understand the role of the club of one hundred
(05:19):
and you got I guess understand what two billionaires in
a room are like. And it's a pretty inexclusive club.
All have sinned and fallen short. So we might be
just being sin on display. But can they patch it up?
And when they do, can they patch us all back up?
(05:39):
Time will tell Mary my favorite? Hey Michael, So glad
you're back. Hey, My? What I got from Elon.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Musk's texts is, you know, he's nothing if not forward thinking,
but he's asking if we should have a new political party.
He put out a poll which goes to what you're
saying about the death of both parties. And he also'
is indicating Jdvans should be the president. So I'm wondering
if he's just planting seeds. So have a great weekend.
So glad you're back.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, because I just had this conversation in Florida with someone.
Everybody can see the Democrat parties in trouble, maybe irreparably
when you think of the civil war within the party
and they're going to go further left and they're gonna
have the leading nominee. Then the DNC and the party
apparatus are going to try to pull another stunt like
(06:29):
they did with Hillary and Biden and Kamala. But I
don't know if the Democrats are going to fall for
it again. And either way it works, They're more divided
than ever. They're in trouble. But the invisible trouble in
the room is the Republican Party. How do they pivot
from trump Ism? And can anybody carry that banner without
the last name Trump? So it's going to take a
(06:54):
very special handoff to either JD or Marco. Is this
stunt about that? Is this stunt about restoring what Tesla's lost?
Because when I start calling balls or strikes, I'm with
Elon Musk. America's got a deadly dangerous spending problem. Doge
(07:18):
was the tip of the iceberg, and then how do
you have a big bill that's also beautiful? Big gets fat?
Fat is a part of the problem. So I can
understand his frustration. And he's done hundreds of millions of
dollars to get Donald Trump elected. It's cost his business
hundreds and millions of dollars, if not millions. Is this
a stunt. If it is, it's stupid because then the
(07:40):
matrix everyone will take a side irreparably, and you'll lose
momentum direction and the left will seize it. I mean,
here's a serious question. Is it possible that the president
will be able to announce today major progress and a
tariff deal with China and everybody's still focused on he
and Elon's fight? Blaine? I don't know where from does
(08:03):
it matter, He's just from our kitchen table. Blaine is next. Hey,
Mike did journo?
Speaker 4 (08:09):
This whole thing is ridiculous, between Elon Musk and trumpets,
and the media just loves this sort of thing. Pretty
soon Hillary hit well, I would say the other word,
but Hillary will chime in and everything else, and of
course G and P and we we we and everybody
else to chime in too. So that's a foolish nonsense.
The media just loves this crap. There's more serious things
(08:32):
going on than this.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Well, you know what was interesting in watching and you
can't I mean, you know it was real. I mean,
Elon Musk is calling for Trump to be impeached. He's
basically telling everybody he's in the Epstein you know. I
mean the implication is we all know he's in the
Epstein files. Is that put him with underage girls. That
was serious allegation. Is what the heck are you guys
(08:57):
doing in public? It was ames Iowa, by the way,
Ka s I. But yeah, what I wasn't hearing is
anybody going, well, okay, let's keep our eye on the ball.
We need these tax cuts. Yeah there, this thing is
bloated and it's too much spending nothing. Everybody was just
(09:22):
picking aside. Yeah, I had the same feeling. Don't we
have bigger things to look at? Angela, I believe is
the Phoenix area, right, Angela.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Micha who I didn't mean to forget about John Okay, anyway,
I just wanted to add that this story with Trump
and Musk is really an unfortunate testimony to my life
and probably why come across so adverse, because I literally
was married to a person who was so envious of
what I did in support of our business that he
(09:55):
shut it down from under us in the peak of
its greatness. So the relativity is for me, have a
great day, guys.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Well, that may point to the you've got two billion
I mean, the Atlantic jumped on that. They led with
that this morning. You put two billionaires in a room.
Eventually it's going to blow up. That's two billionaire egos.
That's two billionaires always goes my way clashing, and that
probably plays a role in the bescent equation. But at
(10:24):
some point, that's why I brought up the chief of staff.
You see Bessent in Musk fighting. Then you see Musk
wanting Trump to pick a side. Trump refuses to, and
then you start getting a tantrum from Elon Musk and
eventually draws the President to make a comment. First just
I'm disappointed, but then it starts getting it escalates. It's
(10:48):
probably all of the above. I mean, the real question
beforeward thinking is I know Elon Musk, did he underestimated
the club of one hundred the United States Senate? And
you need first of all, there's a loyalty to that
club of one hundred you won't break. Secondly, it takes
sixty votes and you don't have them. Thirdly, they know that,
(11:10):
and they're gonna take whatever bill you have and by
the time it's done, it's gonna be bloated. Now that
could be naivete for Elon who gets laser focused thinking
he'd run a country the way he runs his businesses.
But you can't. I just hope Donald Trump wasn't that
naive and didn't realize, as David Snati suggested, it might
(11:31):
take a decade to fix the spending problem because of
the amount of Senate votes needed. You gotta chip away
at this. And by the way, chipping away at debt
is better than adding to it or even ignoring it,
(11:54):
which is what we've been doing. And we're almost to
the point if it's too late. But I hope you
just had a thought to scream at the radio, chip
away at it. This would actually add three to five trillion. Yeah,
now you know what Elon's saying. And then I love
my listeners for this reason. There are those that might
(12:14):
be enjoying the soap opera of Musk and Trump, and
they're focused on the issues that really matter, and the
debates beyond the issues, putting the billionaire personality and ego aside,
focused on what really matters, like the Belmont.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
So with the Belmont Stakes tomorrow, it's going to be
a fast track. Even though Little rain love the two
horse sovereignty. You know, I'm in love big time with
Baiez could win it all. But watch out for this
number one horse road hill. This could shake up that
exact and pay nice give me the one two six
(12:52):
exact the box and why not for a dollar triple
give me the one two six bet with your head
not all.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
You gotta love, John, it's your morning show with Michael
del Johno.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
This is your morning show, and I'm honored to serve you,
Michael del jorn along with Jeffrey serving us both and read.
I said, you know, we live in a matrix, So
I hope America can resist the urge. I don't have
a lot of hope they will that they won't take
a side, a must side of Trump's side. In other words,
it's divisive and if Trump and the indications from the
(13:31):
Daily Mail is there's going to be a call today
and an olive branch has been extended by Elon Musk
to end this, it's too late. All the talking head
shows this weekend will be on this fight, and the
left will seize this moment to get the attention away
from Biden. But you know, I worry about in the
matrix people taking sides and then they stay divided even
after these two quote unquote make up. Here's a great
(13:53):
example of that. Top Trump supporter Steve Bannon calling for
President Trump to investigate Elon Musk, who's calling for an
impeachment of Donald How did we get here?
Speaker 7 (14:03):
Bannon is a longtime critic of the tech billionaire and
is taking signs with Trump in the war of words
currently raging between Musk and the president. The former Trump
advisor said the administration should initiate a formal investigation of
Musk's immigration status. Bannon said he is of the strong
belief that he is an illegal alien and should be deported.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
From the country immediately.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
He also said musk security clearance should be suspended during
these investigations.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I'm Mark Mayfield, so sad and stupid is on Trump
and Musk? Where it goes from here is no telling.
Republicans on the House Oversight Committee they shot down an
attempt by Democrats who were pushing to subpoena Musk.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Democratic members of the Oversight Committee say they want answers
about Musk's short stint in the administration. Acting top Democrat
on the panel, Stephen Lynch, says, Musk may say he
stepped away from his role in the federal government, but
his recklessness will continue to have devastating consequences for America
for years. Plos on the panel suspended the hearing to
give their colleagues more time to arrive and vote down
(15:05):
the measure.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I'm Scott Carr in Washington. Cheerstar George went. We got
the cause of death from the LA Coroner's office. Cardiac
arrest with congestive heart failure, coronary artery, disease, hypertension, all
underlying causes and a couple of things that we didn't
necessarily know also released. Kidney failure was the cause of death.
(15:26):
And finally, the first full moon of summer, or as
we call it, the Strawberry Moon.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
NASA says the strawberry Moon will be visible in the
night sky on June eleventh, with peak moon viewing just
before one am Pacific time. Despite its name, the moon
will not be pink, but it will look larger and
brighter than usual. That's called the moon illusion, and it's
due to the moon's low position in the sky that
makes it appear larger and do take a peak. Legend
(15:52):
has it the strawberry Moon brings luck and good fortune.
I'm Pree Tennis and.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
That's your top five stories of the day.
Speaker 10 (16:00):
This is David Peterson in Columbia, Tennessee, and My morning
show is your Morning show with the Michael del Jarno.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on
great radio stations across the country like one oh five,
nine twelve fifty WHNZ and Tampa, Florida, News Radio five
seventy WKBN in Youngstown, Ohio, and News Radio one thousand
KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you listen to
us live in the morning, and of course we're so
grateful you came for the podcast. Enjoy. I'm Michael del jarna.
(16:35):
Your talkbacks are always welcome to go to the iHeartRadio app.
You'll see a little microphone. If you're listening on the
iHeart Radio app, it's always staring at you. Press it,
count you down three two one gives you thirty seconds
to make a comment. I think I know what you're
going to be commenting on, but we'd love to have
your voice be added here at the breakfast table. I
did get one email from Roger which I want to
(16:55):
thank him for the class. Yes, I woke up in
the thunder lost by one. It was devastating to me
to lose Game one of the NBA Finals by one.
And he's the only one that acknowledged and sent his condolences,
and I appreciate that, all right, if you're just waking up.
President Trump and Elon Musk spent much of yesterday engaged
(17:17):
in a very very ugly war of words, Musk saying
you'll never see Trump release the details of the Epstein
file because he's in him and that's the reason they'll
never go public. Boom there calling for his impeachment, then
Trump calling about different other things. Finally, and just all
(17:41):
completely out of out of hand. If it's a stunt,
it's stupid. If it's not, it's sad. Either way, it
is not productive for moving forward on behalf of the
American people. We've gone into it on the deep end.
You've got to understand Secretary but sense role in this
in his fight with Elon Musk and clearly Donald Trump
(18:03):
not taking a side, and how that created perhaps a
tantrum on the Musk side of things. There is this
issue of the Club of one hundred. They have the
final say I brought up and this much makes me
team Musk. I guess big and beautiful don't go together
when you're talking about a funding bill, and so it
is bloated and these tax cuts are necessary, and we
(18:25):
do need to move forward. And I hope neither Trump
or Musk were naive that there is such a thing
as the United States Senate and you can't get real
things done instantly without sixty votes. So it was going
to take a decade to get this spending under control.
Maybe that was a cause of the tantrum. And then
(18:46):
you got two billionaires that aren't used to having anybody
have a say other than theirs. I don't know, what
do you, roy O'Neil is here. What do you make
of this? If it's real, it was stupid to do
in public. If it's a stunt, it's stupid. Because we
live in a matrix. People are going to take sides
(19:08):
and it's gonna be hard to repair even if they
repair it today in a phone call. What do you
make of this? This is not this is a momentum killer.
Speaker 11 (19:17):
Yeah, you know we heard there were reports from NBC
News a short time ago that there is no phone
call set for this afternoon, despite some other things out there.
So we'll see how these two somehow repair this relationship,
if possible. The world's wealthiest man, the world's most powerful man,
you know, two big egos here, Let's see if they
(19:38):
can find some way to get along. I think, but look,
I think Musk is the newcomer to all this, right.
I mean, he hasn't been in this political game for
only about a year or so, and you know, to
get him on Capitol Hill this way and to learn
a harsh lesson as you said that there are five
hundred and thirty five people up there. They all have
to get on board too. So there is this essence
(19:59):
of your hurt cats, and by definition half the group
is against you.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
So it's a struggle. Yeah. So, and I'll give the
other side for Musk. He put up three hundred million
dollars to support President Trump. He was a big part
of bringing the rest of the tech world, which was
part of what silenced opposition views in the twenty twenty election.
You know, then the hit he took with people attacking
(20:26):
Tesla dealerships as well as stop buying them. And so
my first thought was, is this a stunt to try
to restore Tesla for him? And then I'm like, no,
not if you're bringing up Epstein and not if you're
bringing up impeachment. That's be honest to this is two
rich guys, and I think, and it's on. Musk did
it first, and Trump tried to take the high road
and then eventually got drawn into it. But this is
(20:48):
going to be hard to repair. I was laughing.
Speaker 11 (20:51):
President Trump tonight will be attending the UFC event. But
I still think the better kit happened yesterday. Yes, when
it comes to entertainment, I mean, really was something spectacular?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Is it all unfolded?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
You know?
Speaker 11 (21:06):
But both sides do have their groups, right, I mean
the X supporters that are on X, that that talk
about Epstein files constantly and respond to everything that way.
I mean, they are on Musk's side here, and so
he has his own base of support. Obviously the red
hat Maga crowd is supporting President Trump. So let's see
(21:27):
how this moves forward. But it's typical. I mean it's
almost like the irresistible force and the immovable object here,
power versus cash?
Speaker 1 (21:37):
How are these two well in this case? In this
case both have power and cash. I mean one of
my observations. Yeah, but here's one of my observations. So
you got Elon Musk bashing the president on X where
everybody is including the president's supporters, and then the president
bashing Musk on true Social where I don't know everybody
is that doesn't seem like a level playing. The media,
(22:00):
of course, is loving at the Atlantic. They must have
been typing with Glee setting this up. You know what
the talking headshows are going to do all weekend long?
And I guess the Democrats with a big sigh of
relief because instead of us all talking about cringe Jean
Pierre leaving the party, we're all talking about Trump and
Musk fighting.
Speaker 11 (22:17):
Right, well, right, And look, this is cheap and easy TV.
So for the networks that have twenty four hours to
fill every day, you bring out your talking heads, they
all shout at each other and we all either look
at video clips or tweets graphics. Right, this is because
this is easy explaining what's in the big beautiful bill,
explaining how people are not may get healthcare coverage, how
(22:39):
they may lose it, how they'll transition to jobs and
won't need it. I mean, all that stuff is boring,
whereas this is just low hanging fruit.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
All right, what about Karine Jumpierre. I don't know how
much time you have, but you may not go. But
if you can't do it in a real short synopsis
of where this cans oh two minutes. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (22:56):
So she's out with a book apparently coming out this fall.
Let's see what the demand for it is. The book
is called Independent A Look Inside a Broken White House
Outside the Party Lines long title, but.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Again this is it will suggest it's going to be
a tell all though.
Speaker 11 (23:13):
I suppose in a look outside of broken White House,
inside a broken White House outside the party lines. You know,
she posted that video clip yesterday and it sort of says,
why are we all in party boxes and checked boxes
and blah blah. I mean, this is all about a
Kumbaya kind of a book. I don't know who's buying.
There's got to be some sort of you know, something
that's going to make it PLoP down twenty four to
(23:34):
ninety five for this thing.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I can't see what it is, but because everybody wants
to know, what did she know? Because this is nobody
defended the president's cognitive abilities more forcefully than her. I mean,
she should have zero credibility to sell any book. What
about this notion of leaving the Democrat Party? Taking that serious?
So now she says she's independent.
Speaker 11 (23:58):
We've got this whole suite of an anonymous Democrats who
worked with Joe Biden, saying that Karine Jean Pierre was
never very good at her job anyway, I don't think
MSNBC has beaten a path to her door to hire her.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I don't think she's getting a chair at the View.
Speaker 11 (24:12):
So I'm not sure what else her options are going
to be, other than being a professor at some university somewhere.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Roy O'Neil this weekend real quickly, in ten seconds or less.
What's on the weekend?
Speaker 11 (24:23):
We can dive great conversation with a retired Air Force
general about that drone strike and how the US should
be concerned that it could happen to us.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
It is the weekend Dive with roy O'Neal, heard on
hundreds of iHeart stations across the country, but you can
get it on demand on your iHeartRadio app. We'll talk
again on Monday. Well, the top five stories of the
day are just different angles of the same story. Right,
President Trump and Elon Musk a war of words for
everyone to witness, and everyone, I guess, presumably to choose
(24:52):
his side. Mark Mayfield has the story.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
John Wars asked her about Musk's criticism of the Big
Beautiful Bill. My White House correspondent John Decker.
Speaker 12 (25:00):
And I asked the President this question for his reaction
to what Elon Musk had been posting on social media
this week, and he gave me an eight minute long answer.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
Trump told Decker he doesn't know if he and Musk
will continue to have a great relationship. After that, an
online war of words erupted between the two men. Trump
said he asked Musk to leave his administration. Trump said
Musk was upset he was ending the EV mandate, which
will cost Musk billions.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Eli mus says he'll have his company
SpaceX decommission the Dragon spacecraft immediately. Tammy Trihilo with the
latest done this threat.
Speaker 13 (25:35):
The billionaire's post on X Thursday came amid a war
of words with President Trump. Musk's post came minutes after
Trump threatened to cancel government contracts with Musk's companies. Their
online flap intensified after Musk criticized the so called big
Beautiful bill that Trump's been pushing. The Dragon is the
only spacecraft being used to transport crew to and from
the International Space Station. I'm Tammy Triheos.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Nick Jonas is sent to play Kiss frontman Paul Stanley
in the upcoming biopic about the band. The Deadline reports Nick,
We'll go through some vocal training to nail Stanley's voice.
The film, entitled Shout It Out Loud, is projected to
go into production by the end of this year or
early next year. No word on one it will actually
be released, or who will play Gene Simmons. That would
(26:20):
be an all important casting role. And a Tennessee donut
shop is recognizing National Donut Day, which is worth recognizing
in and of itself. It's still one of my greatest weaknesses.
Speaker 14 (26:33):
There is something about the Krispy Kreme hot fresh light
blinking and getting a glazed raspberry and film and everybody
has their own way of enjoying these things.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
But I find a little hole and I.
Speaker 14 (26:47):
Get all the raspberry out at once, leave it in there,
and then just add little bites of theing glazed cried deliciousness.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Hey, wake up, hello, Hello. Anyway, this Tennessee donut shop
is recognizing National Donut Day by having fun with the
ongoing search for a missing zebra. Now listen, this is
a real thing. We had a missing zebra, an escaped zebra,
which is better than New Orleans and had TenneT escaped
you know, convicts. But we had a bear and a
(27:18):
zebra on the loose and they appear from time to time,
like the zebra and Rutherford County. All of a sudden,
you're driving, did I just see a striped ass? You're like,
you know, seating thing together. So it was kind of
like you know the San Diego Zoo, only bigger. And
then we didn't we have the bear and it got hit.
The bear got hit, Yeah, in Cipher County, in Sumner County.
That bear was I don't know what. I don't think
(27:39):
they do like a dog. They don't go, but whatever
it was, it was tragic. Now the zebra, of course,
is still on the loose, so the workers at the
Donut Country are making a special zebra striped doughnut as
the animal continues to run on the loose. So the
timing couldn't be more perfect. It's a special promotion for
this Donut Day and they have the striped donut that
(28:02):
you can get absolutely free. They call it the free
Zebra Donuts with a purchase of any celebration on National
Donut Day. And we think the zebra is still somewhere
on the loose. Maybe we'll interview him Monday along with
David Foster. They've got drones looking for this thing with
thermal cameras on. And how hard is to find a
(28:22):
zee for crying? This is Your Morning Show with Michael
Del Chrono.
Speaker 15 (28:29):
Zebra was spotted this morning. Actually, I think about an
hour ago. A post popped up on Facebook. There is
helicopter footage or drone footage something of him running through
a field in Christiana. You know, Michael, people tend to
develop routines, and those routines create expectations. So when I
wake up and I hit the iHeart app on my
(28:50):
phone while I'm still rubbing the sleep from my eyes,
and an unexpected voice pours out, It's like having a
bucket of ice water dumped over my head. I mean, yes,
the day does go on, but I'm all out of
sorts and ready to fight over every stupid little thing. So, yes,
you are as always missed when you're gone.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Well, I wasn't fishing for that, but I certainly missed
all of you. Yes, you, you can't imagine what had
we So in Middle Tennessee, in the Nashville metropolitan area,
all eyes around this missing zebra who just kind of
appears every now and then. And now the notion that
they got drones looking helicopters in the air. Thanks that
(29:30):
you know you'll be hearing come out with your ears up.
But how this guy's been roaming around squad you we're
supposed to give it back? Yeah, well, I you know,
I think we all like I I went to Louisiana
State University, and when I went in the early eighties,
Mike was in a I mean a cage, you know,
(29:51):
not much bigger than your patio area in your backyard.
And so my my parking was stadium parking, and so
you know, you never get used to hearing him as
you're parking. But I'd come back from lunch and I'd
have a poe boy and I'd give him half my
poe boy. I mean, you could just interact with him.
He was like right there. I think we ought to
make the zebra famous. I think we ought to give
(30:13):
him like he ought to be, like in a kind
of a zoo like natural environment, caged area right in
downtown Murphy Sporo. I think he should forever be a celebrity.
Let him graize on the tented version. Yes, we are thinking.
We've got David Foster, sixteen time Grammy Award winner who's
(30:35):
working on a new Broadway musical Monday. But we are
still trying to secure the Zebra himself as a guest
for Monday Show. Another reason to keep listening. Final Say
continues with what do I believe? Yes, I'm sorry about that.
Speaker 10 (30:48):
Hey, it's depressing as all this political rhetoric and division is.
There was no story that affected me more this week
than the father in Washington State that killed his three
little daughters. There is evil in this world, and we've
lost sight of God.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Well, there's mental illness and there's evil, right, and the
evil one loves to take advantage of mental illness. He
first takes the mind and then he kicks an evil
that is just as a father of two daughters incomprehensible
and my heart breaks too. Good point, would he Shannon
for the next thing? Welcome back, Michael.
Speaker 16 (31:31):
I want to say this. These are two billionaires, These
are two men who have built empires. They don't make
mistakes like this. I don't think this is a mistake.
I don't think that this is a stat I think
there's a long term plan, and I think they're both
working on it.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Well, that was my suspicion from the very beginning that
I don't buy this dumb and this public of a mistake.
Is this to restore everything lost with Tesla? All right,
thank you, Elon. You did what I needed done to
get elected. You did what I needed done to head
(32:10):
up DOGE. Now I need to restore your investment and
your business. That was my first thought. But then when
he got to the Elon Muscow, the Jeffrey Epstein allegations
and impeachment, I don't know, you know I started, I
was and I knew that pacent fight, and I'm sure
Elon wanted him to take President Trump to take his
(32:31):
side and not CeNSE. And I don't think the President
took either side. And so maybe it was a tantrum.
Maybe he doesn't get club of one hundred and the Senate,
and you just can't run a country the way you
run a business. I hope Donald Trump understands that I
am with Elon in that big and beautiful don't belong
in the same title, because the bigger bill is, the
(32:52):
more dead it is, and the less beautiful it is.
What we need is his tax cuts big time, and
this certainly seems to have muddied the waters. I was
also thirty seven thousand feet in the air reading different
people's X reactions. Out of all of them, this Josh guy,
(33:13):
you know we use that emoji? Lol, I literally laughed
out loud on the plane. He wrote, this messy Trump
Musk breakup is truly the gayest thing about Brian Mont
was just like, and then Dana Loewsh wrote, next down
the season finale of Mega, Chris Burger, who's here locally?
(33:36):
The real question is who's going to get the kids?
I mean, it was just but then by the time
I landed and Eli Musk is bringing up the Epstein files,
I was like, So the big question hanging into the
weekend is not will the Atlantic will ABCNBCCBSC and n
MSNBC love playing this up. The big question is can
they resolve it? And once they resolve it, were the
(33:57):
American people and those that were you in heading in
a direction for a brighter tomorrow be able to reunite
because all too often in this matrix, we pick sides
immediately and immovably, and that spells a Trump team and
a Musk team that spells division and loss of momentum,
and that would be sad. We're all in this together.
(34:19):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael Vindel cho noo
Hi, It's Michael. 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, our Talk six
fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. We invite you to listen
live while you're getting ready in the morning, and to
take us along for the drive to work. But as
we always say, better late than never. Thanks for joining
(00:21):
us for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Two three, Starting your morning off right, 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 John.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Did I mention? Monday? On this show, the sixteen time
Grammy Award winning David Foster will be on the show
with us. How did you get that? He's? This guy?
Is you talk about been thinking a lot about Rush lately?
(00:59):
Talent on loan from God? I mean, this guy's got
a lot of talent. I mean he if anybody can
write a Broadway musical hit, I mean, it's David Foster,
and one based on Betty Boop is what he's working on.
We'll visit with him on Monday. Who knows where Elon
Musk and Donald Trump will be by Monday. For those
(01:21):
of you just waking up, President Trump and Elon Musk
spent much of Thursday engage in a very public war
of words. Musk dropped a bomb that the Jeffrey Epstein
files will go nowhere. And the real reason you haven't
seen him made public is because Trump said him even
called for Trump's impeachment and then said his company SpaceX
will decommission the Dragon spacecraft. Then you had Democrats trying
(01:46):
to get a committee to bring Elon Musk forward to testify.
The Atlantic is printing stories with glee. And now we
get word from the Daily Mail that Elon Musk has
extended an olive branch to Donald Trump and the two
(02:07):
plan to talk today. Could they make up now? And
where's everybody that's taken? Side's going to be? If it's
a stunt, it's stupid. If it's real, it's sad. The
sooner it's over, the better. But I wonder if things
will ever be the same again. I mentioned this earlier
(02:27):
in the Platinum Hour. Usually when I a host, and
that was not on vacation. It was a very important
business trip. But usually when you're gone, the listeners miss you.
I missed you while I was gone, And you know,
we had a lot of things planned for today. That
all has to take a back seat to what you're
waking up and wanting to know the very latest stunt,
(02:49):
and the very latest is. As we go to our
talkback line, Ralph will make very clear that the two
in the spat because the day started playing Neil sadaka
breaking up is hard to do. Quickly, It's turned to
Peaches and Urban Reunited. Haven't you heard they've made up?
You got to keep up. This changes every five seconds
(03:10):
or so. It wouldn't be funny if they had their
call later today and then they get in a bigger fight.
By the way, that's the voice of Ralph Bristol, who
is a legendary talk show host. Used to do mornings
on w TN and Nashville and before that Greenberg, Green
was it Spartanburg? Green Greenville? Spartanburg, isn't it? It's at
(03:31):
the market in South Carolina, Greenville Terrific, terrific? Bright mind? Yeah,
I mean I go back to I've seen this as
a small child. I would watch husbands and wives get
in fights, and one's trash talking one one's trash talking
(03:52):
the other. Then their fights over and everybody else is
chimed in because our culture is in a matrix. By
the time my plane landed from Florida, half this country
on exit taken aside. They were team Musk or they
were Team Trump. That's a big part of the magic
(04:13):
that was developed and built. Telsey Gabbard, a Democrat presidential candidate,
joined forces with Donald Trump to overcome the Biden scandal
slash Kamala handoff. Then you had Bobby Kennedy join, then
(04:33):
Elon Mosk. Then the Google Facebook was such a powerful
and it was so nice. People that you thought were
just on the D team became the A Team America.
And I thought, maybe we're going to get beyond this
shirts and skins nonsense and be Americans and start acknowledging
(04:56):
real problems and solving them together. And then this and
how did two powerful people like this make such a juvenile,
dumb public mistake. And our long visit with David Sonadi,
he said, you can't understand this fight unless you understand
the role of the sin. Can't understand this fight unless
you understand the role of the club of one hundred
(05:19):
and you got I guess understand what two billionaires in
a room are like. And it's a pretty inexclusive club.
All have sinned and fallen short. So we might be
just being sin on display. But can they patch it up?
And when they do, can they patch us all back up?
(05:39):
Time will tell Mary my favorite? Hey Michael, So glad
you're back. Hey, My? What I got from Elon.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Musk's texts is, you know, he's nothing if not forward thinking,
but he's asking if we should have a new political party.
He put out a poll which goes to what you're
saying about the death of both parties. And he also'
is indicating Jdvans should be the president. So I'm wondering
if he's just planting seeds. So have a great weekend.
So glad you're back.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, because I just had this conversation in Florida with someone.
Everybody can see the Democrat parties in trouble, maybe irreparably
when you think of the civil war within the party
and they're going to go further left and they're gonna
have the leading nominee. Then the DNC and the party
apparatus are going to try to pull another stunt like
(06:29):
they did with Hillary and Biden and Kamala. But I
don't know if the Democrats are going to fall for
it again. And either way it works, They're more divided
than ever. They're in trouble. But the invisible trouble in
the room is the Republican Party. How do they pivot
from trump Ism? And can anybody carry that banner without
the last name Trump? So it's going to take a
(06:54):
very special handoff to either JD or Marco. Is this
stunt about that? Is this stunt about restoring what Tesla's lost?
Because when I start calling balls or strikes, I'm with
Elon Musk. America's got a deadly dangerous spending problem. Doge
(07:18):
was the tip of the iceberg, and then how do
you have a big bill that's also beautiful? Big gets fat?
Fat is a part of the problem. So I can
understand his frustration. And he's done hundreds of millions of
dollars to get Donald Trump elected. It's cost his business
hundreds and millions of dollars, if not millions. Is this
a stunt. If it is, it's stupid because then the
(07:40):
matrix everyone will take a side irreparably, and you'll lose
momentum direction and the left will seize it. I mean,
here's a serious question. Is it possible that the president
will be able to announce today major progress and a
tariff deal with China and everybody's still focused on he
and Elon's fight? Blaine? I don't know where from does
(08:03):
it matter, He's just from our kitchen table. Blaine is next. Hey,
Mike did journo?
Speaker 4 (08:09):
This whole thing is ridiculous, between Elon Musk and trumpets,
and the media just loves this sort of thing. Pretty
soon Hillary hit well, I would say the other word,
but Hillary will chime in and everything else, and of
course G and P and we we we and everybody
else to chime in too. So that's a foolish nonsense.
The media just loves this crap. There's more serious things
(08:32):
going on than this.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Well, you know what was interesting in watching and you
can't I mean, you know it was real. I mean,
Elon Musk is calling for Trump to be impeached. He's
basically telling everybody he's in the Epstein you know. I
mean the implication is we all know he's in the
Epstein files. Is that put him with underage girls. That
was serious allegation. Is what the heck are you guys
(08:57):
doing in public? It was ames Iowa, by the way,
Ka s I. But yeah, what I wasn't hearing is
anybody going, well, okay, let's keep our eye on the ball.
We need these tax cuts. Yeah there, this thing is
bloated and it's too much spending nothing. Everybody was just
(09:22):
picking aside. Yeah, I had the same feeling. Don't we
have bigger things to look at? Angela, I believe is
the Phoenix area, right, Angela.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Micha who I didn't mean to forget about John Okay, anyway,
I just wanted to add that this story with Trump
and Musk is really an unfortunate testimony to my life
and probably why come across so adverse, because I literally
was married to a person who was so envious of
what I did in support of our business that he
(09:55):
shut it down from under us in the peak of
its greatness. So the relativity is for me, have a
great day, guys.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Well, that may point to the you've got two billion
I mean, the Atlantic jumped on that. They led with
that this morning. You put two billionaires in a room.
Eventually it's going to blow up. That's two billionaire egos.
That's two billionaires always goes my way clashing, and that
probably plays a role in the bescent equation. But at
(10:24):
some point, that's why I brought up the chief of staff.
You see Bessent in Musk fighting. Then you see Musk
wanting Trump to pick a side. Trump refuses to, and
then you start getting a tantrum from Elon Musk and
eventually draws the President to make a comment. First just
I'm disappointed, but then it starts getting it escalates. It's
(10:48):
probably all of the above. I mean, the real question
beforeward thinking is I know Elon Musk, did he underestimated
the club of one hundred the United States Senate? And
you need first of all, there's a loyalty to that
club of one hundred you won't break. Secondly, it takes
sixty votes and you don't have them. Thirdly, they know that,
(11:10):
and they're gonna take whatever bill you have and by
the time it's done, it's gonna be bloated. Now that
could be naivete for Elon who gets laser focused thinking
he'd run a country the way he runs his businesses.
But you can't. I just hope Donald Trump wasn't that
naive and didn't realize, as David Snati suggested, it might
(11:31):
take a decade to fix the spending problem because of
the amount of Senate votes needed. You gotta chip away
at this. And by the way, chipping away at debt
is better than adding to it or even ignoring it,
(11:54):
which is what we've been doing. And we're almost to
the point if it's too late. But I hope you
just had a thought to scream at the radio, chip
away at it. This would actually add three to five trillion. Yeah,
now you know what Elon's saying. And then I love
my listeners for this reason. There are those that might
(12:14):
be enjoying the soap opera of Musk and Trump, and
they're focused on the issues that really matter, and the
debates beyond the issues, putting the billionaire personality and ego aside,
focused on what really matters, like the Belmont.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
So with the Belmont Stakes tomorrow, it's going to be
a fast track. Even though Little rain love the two
horse sovereignty. You know, I'm in love big time with
Baiez could win it all. But watch out for this
number one horse road hill. This could shake up that
exact and pay nice give me the one two six
(12:52):
exact the box and why not for a dollar triple
give me the one two six bet with your head
not all.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
You gotta love, John, it's your morning show with Michael
del Johno.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
This is your morning show, and I'm honored to serve you,
Michael del jorn along with Jeffrey serving us both and read.
I said, you know, we live in a matrix, So
I hope America can resist the urge. I don't have
a lot of hope they will that they won't take
a side, a must side of Trump's side. In other words,
it's divisive and if Trump and the indications from the
(13:31):
Daily Mail is there's going to be a call today
and an olive branch has been extended by Elon Musk
to end this, it's too late. All the talking head
shows this weekend will be on this fight, and the
left will seize this moment to get the attention away
from Biden. But you know, I worry about in the
matrix people taking sides and then they stay divided even
after these two quote unquote make up. Here's a great
(13:53):
example of that. Top Trump supporter Steve Bannon calling for
President Trump to investigate Elon Musk, who's calling for an
impeachment of Donald How did we get here?
Speaker 7 (14:03):
Bannon is a longtime critic of the tech billionaire and
is taking signs with Trump in the war of words
currently raging between Musk and the president. The former Trump
advisor said the administration should initiate a formal investigation of
Musk's immigration status. Bannon said he is of the strong
belief that he is an illegal alien and should be deported.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
From the country immediately.
Speaker 7 (14:25):
He also said musk security clearance should be suspended during
these investigations.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I'm Mark Mayfield, so sad and stupid is on Trump
and Musk? Where it goes from here is no telling.
Republicans on the House Oversight Committee they shot down an
attempt by Democrats who were pushing to subpoena Musk.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Democratic members of the Oversight Committee say they want answers
about Musk's short stint in the administration. Acting top Democrat
on the panel, Stephen Lynch, says, Musk may say he
stepped away from his role in the federal government, but
his recklessness will continue to have devastating consequences for America
for years. Plos on the panel suspended the hearing to
give their colleagues more time to arrive and vote down
(15:05):
the measure.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I'm Scott Carr in Washington. Cheerstar George went. We got
the cause of death from the LA Coroner's office. Cardiac
arrest with congestive heart failure, coronary artery, disease, hypertension, all
underlying causes and a couple of things that we didn't
necessarily know also released. Kidney failure was the cause of death.
(15:26):
And finally, the first full moon of summer, or as
we call it, the Strawberry Moon.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
NASA says the strawberry Moon will be visible in the
night sky on June eleventh, with peak moon viewing just
before one am Pacific time. Despite its name, the moon
will not be pink, but it will look larger and
brighter than usual. That's called the moon illusion, and it's
due to the moon's low position in the sky that
makes it appear larger and do take a peak. Legend
(15:52):
has it the strawberry Moon brings luck and good fortune.
I'm Pree Tennis and.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
That's your top five stories of the day.
Speaker 10 (16:00):
This is David Peterson in Columbia, Tennessee, and My morning
show is your Morning show with the Michael del Jarno.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on
great radio stations across the country like one oh five,
nine twelve fifty WHNZ and Tampa, Florida, News Radio five
seventy WKBN in Youngstown, Ohio, and News Radio one thousand
KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you listen to
us live in the morning, and of course we're so
grateful you came for the podcast. Enjoy. I'm Michael del jarna.
(16:35):
Your talkbacks are always welcome to go to the iHeartRadio app.
You'll see a little microphone. If you're listening on the
iHeart Radio app, it's always staring at you. Press it,
count you down three two one gives you thirty seconds
to make a comment. I think I know what you're
going to be commenting on, but we'd love to have
your voice be added here at the breakfast table. I
did get one email from Roger which I want to
(16:55):
thank him for the class. Yes, I woke up in
the thunder lost by one. It was devastating to me
to lose Game one of the NBA Finals by one.
And he's the only one that acknowledged and sent his condolences,
and I appreciate that, all right, if you're just waking up.
President Trump and Elon Musk spent much of yesterday engaged
(17:17):
in a very very ugly war of words, Musk saying
you'll never see Trump release the details of the Epstein
file because he's in him and that's the reason they'll
never go public. Boom there calling for his impeachment, then
Trump calling about different other things. Finally, and just all
(17:41):
completely out of out of hand. If it's a stunt,
it's stupid. If it's not, it's sad. Either way, it
is not productive for moving forward on behalf of the
American people. We've gone into it on the deep end.
You've got to understand Secretary but sense role in this
in his fight with Elon Musk and clearly Donald Trump
(18:03):
not taking a side, and how that created perhaps a
tantrum on the Musk side of things. There is this
issue of the Club of one hundred. They have the
final say I brought up and this much makes me
team Musk. I guess big and beautiful don't go together
when you're talking about a funding bill, and so it
is bloated and these tax cuts are necessary, and we
(18:25):
do need to move forward. And I hope neither Trump
or Musk were naive that there is such a thing
as the United States Senate and you can't get real
things done instantly without sixty votes. So it was going
to take a decade to get this spending under control.
Maybe that was a cause of the tantrum. And then
(18:46):
you got two billionaires that aren't used to having anybody
have a say other than theirs. I don't know, what
do you, roy O'Neil is here. What do you make
of this? If it's real, it was stupid to do
in public. If it's a stunt, it's stupid. Because we
live in a matrix. People are going to take sides
(19:08):
and it's gonna be hard to repair even if they
repair it today in a phone call. What do you
make of this? This is not this is a momentum killer.
Speaker 11 (19:17):
Yeah, you know we heard there were reports from NBC
News a short time ago that there is no phone
call set for this afternoon, despite some other things out there.
So we'll see how these two somehow repair this relationship,
if possible. The world's wealthiest man, the world's most powerful man,
you know, two big egos here, Let's see if they
(19:38):
can find some way to get along. I think, but look,
I think Musk is the newcomer to all this, right.
I mean, he hasn't been in this political game for
only about a year or so, and you know, to
get him on Capitol Hill this way and to learn
a harsh lesson as you said that there are five
hundred and thirty five people up there. They all have
to get on board too. So there is this essence
(19:59):
of your hurt cats, and by definition half the group
is against you.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
So it's a struggle. Yeah. So, and I'll give the
other side for Musk. He put up three hundred million
dollars to support President Trump. He was a big part
of bringing the rest of the tech world, which was
part of what silenced opposition views in the twenty twenty election.
You know, then the hit he took with people attacking
(20:26):
Tesla dealerships as well as stop buying them. And so
my first thought was, is this a stunt to try
to restore Tesla for him? And then I'm like, no,
not if you're bringing up Epstein and not if you're
bringing up impeachment. That's be honest to this is two
rich guys, and I think, and it's on. Musk did
it first, and Trump tried to take the high road
and then eventually got drawn into it. But this is
(20:48):
going to be hard to repair. I was laughing.
Speaker 11 (20:51):
President Trump tonight will be attending the UFC event. But
I still think the better kit happened yesterday. Yes, when
it comes to entertainment, I mean, really was something spectacular?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Is it all unfolded?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
You know?
Speaker 11 (21:06):
But both sides do have their groups, right, I mean
the X supporters that are on X, that that talk
about Epstein files constantly and respond to everything that way.
I mean, they are on Musk's side here, and so
he has his own base of support. Obviously the red
hat Maga crowd is supporting President Trump. So let's see
(21:27):
how this moves forward. But it's typical. I mean it's
almost like the irresistible force and the immovable object here,
power versus cash?
Speaker 1 (21:37):
How are these two well in this case? In this
case both have power and cash. I mean one of
my observations. Yeah, but here's one of my observations. So
you got Elon Musk bashing the president on X where
everybody is including the president's supporters, and then the president
bashing Musk on true Social where I don't know everybody
is that doesn't seem like a level playing. The media,
(22:00):
of course, is loving at the Atlantic. They must have
been typing with Glee setting this up. You know what
the talking headshows are going to do all weekend long?
And I guess the Democrats with a big sigh of
relief because instead of us all talking about cringe Jean
Pierre leaving the party, we're all talking about Trump and
Musk fighting.
Speaker 11 (22:17):
Right, well, right, And look, this is cheap and easy TV.
So for the networks that have twenty four hours to
fill every day, you bring out your talking heads, they
all shout at each other and we all either look
at video clips or tweets graphics. Right, this is because
this is easy explaining what's in the big beautiful bill,
explaining how people are not may get healthcare coverage, how
(22:39):
they may lose it, how they'll transition to jobs and
won't need it. I mean, all that stuff is boring,
whereas this is just low hanging fruit.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
All right, what about Karine Jumpierre. I don't know how
much time you have, but you may not go. But
if you can't do it in a real short synopsis
of where this cans oh two minutes. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (22:56):
So she's out with a book apparently coming out this fall.
Let's see what the demand for it is. The book
is called Independent A Look Inside a Broken White House
Outside the Party Lines long title, but.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Again this is it will suggest it's going to be
a tell all though.
Speaker 11 (23:13):
I suppose in a look outside of broken White House,
inside a broken White House outside the party lines. You know,
she posted that video clip yesterday and it sort of says,
why are we all in party boxes and checked boxes
and blah blah. I mean, this is all about a
Kumbaya kind of a book. I don't know who's buying.
There's got to be some sort of you know, something
that's going to make it PLoP down twenty four to
(23:34):
ninety five for this thing.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I can't see what it is, but because everybody wants
to know, what did she know? Because this is nobody
defended the president's cognitive abilities more forcefully than her. I mean,
she should have zero credibility to sell any book. What
about this notion of leaving the Democrat Party? Taking that serious?
So now she says she's independent.
Speaker 11 (23:58):
We've got this whole suite of an anonymous Democrats who
worked with Joe Biden, saying that Karine Jean Pierre was
never very good at her job anyway, I don't think
MSNBC has beaten a path to her door to hire her.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I don't think she's getting a chair at the View.
Speaker 11 (24:12):
So I'm not sure what else her options are going
to be, other than being a professor at some university somewhere.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Roy O'Neil this weekend real quickly, in ten seconds or less.
What's on the weekend?
Speaker 11 (24:23):
We can dive great conversation with a retired Air Force
general about that drone strike and how the US should
be concerned that it could happen to us.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
It is the weekend Dive with roy O'Neal, heard on
hundreds of iHeart stations across the country, but you can
get it on demand on your iHeartRadio app. We'll talk
again on Monday. Well, the top five stories of the
day are just different angles of the same story. Right,
President Trump and Elon Musk a war of words for
everyone to witness, and everyone, I guess, presumably to choose
(24:52):
his side. Mark Mayfield has the story.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
John Wars asked her about Musk's criticism of the Big
Beautiful Bill. My White House correspondent John Decker.
Speaker 12 (25:00):
And I asked the President this question for his reaction
to what Elon Musk had been posting on social media
this week, and he gave me an eight minute long answer.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
Trump told Decker he doesn't know if he and Musk
will continue to have a great relationship. After that, an
online war of words erupted between the two men. Trump
said he asked Musk to leave his administration. Trump said
Musk was upset he was ending the EV mandate, which
will cost Musk billions.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I'm Mark Mayfield. Eli mus says he'll have his company
SpaceX decommission the Dragon spacecraft immediately. Tammy Trihilo with the
latest done this threat.
Speaker 13 (25:35):
The billionaire's post on X Thursday came amid a war
of words with President Trump. Musk's post came minutes after
Trump threatened to cancel government contracts with Musk's companies. Their
online flap intensified after Musk criticized the so called big
Beautiful bill that Trump's been pushing. The Dragon is the
only spacecraft being used to transport crew to and from
the International Space Station. I'm Tammy Triheos.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Nick Jonas is sent to play Kiss frontman Paul Stanley
in the upcoming biopic about the band. The Deadline reports Nick,
We'll go through some vocal training to nail Stanley's voice.
The film, entitled Shout It Out Loud, is projected to
go into production by the end of this year or
early next year. No word on one it will actually
be released, or who will play Gene Simmons. That would
(26:20):
be an all important casting role. And a Tennessee donut
shop is recognizing National Donut Day, which is worth recognizing
in and of itself. It's still one of my greatest weaknesses.
Speaker 14 (26:33):
There is something about the Krispy Kreme hot fresh light
blinking and getting a glazed raspberry and film and everybody
has their own way of enjoying these things.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
But I find a little hole and I.
Speaker 14 (26:47):
Get all the raspberry out at once, leave it in there,
and then just add little bites of theing glazed cried deliciousness.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Hey, wake up, hello, Hello. Anyway, this Tennessee donut shop
is recognizing National Donut Day by having fun with the
ongoing search for a missing zebra. Now listen, this is
a real thing. We had a missing zebra, an escaped zebra,
which is better than New Orleans and had TenneT escaped
you know, convicts. But we had a bear and a
(27:18):
zebra on the loose and they appear from time to time,
like the zebra and Rutherford County. All of a sudden,
you're driving, did I just see a striped ass? You're like,
you know, seating thing together. So it was kind of
like you know the San Diego Zoo, only bigger. And
then we didn't we have the bear and it got hit.
The bear got hit, Yeah, in Cipher County, in Sumner County.
That bear was I don't know what. I don't think
(27:39):
they do like a dog. They don't go, but whatever
it was, it was tragic. Now the zebra, of course,
is still on the loose, so the workers at the
Donut Country are making a special zebra striped doughnut as
the animal continues to run on the loose. So the
timing couldn't be more perfect. It's a special promotion for
this Donut Day and they have the striped donut that
(28:02):
you can get absolutely free. They call it the free
Zebra Donuts with a purchase of any celebration on National
Donut Day. And we think the zebra is still somewhere
on the loose. Maybe we'll interview him Monday along with
David Foster. They've got drones looking for this thing with
thermal cameras on. And how hard is to find a
(28:22):
zee for crying? This is Your Morning Show with Michael
Del Chrono.
Speaker 15 (28:29):
Zebra was spotted this morning. Actually, I think about an
hour ago. A post popped up on Facebook. There is
helicopter footage or drone footage something of him running through
a field in Christiana. You know, Michael, people tend to
develop routines, and those routines create expectations. So when I
wake up and I hit the iHeart app on my
(28:50):
phone while I'm still rubbing the sleep from my eyes,
and an unexpected voice pours out, It's like having a
bucket of ice water dumped over my head. I mean, yes,
the day does go on, but I'm all out of
sorts and ready to fight over every stupid little thing. So, yes,
you are as always missed when you're gone.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Well, I wasn't fishing for that, but I certainly missed
all of you. Yes, you, you can't imagine what had
we So in Middle Tennessee, in the Nashville metropolitan area,
all eyes around this missing zebra who just kind of
appears every now and then. And now the notion that
they got drones looking helicopters in the air. Thanks that
(29:30):
you know you'll be hearing come out with your ears up.
But how this guy's been roaming around squad you we're
supposed to give it back? Yeah, well, I you know,
I think we all like I I went to Louisiana
State University, and when I went in the early eighties,
Mike was in a I mean a cage, you know,
(29:51):
not much bigger than your patio area in your backyard.
And so my my parking was stadium parking, and so
you know, you never get used to hearing him as
you're parking. But I'd come back from lunch and I'd
have a poe boy and I'd give him half my
poe boy. I mean, you could just interact with him.
He was like right there. I think we ought to
make the zebra famous. I think we ought to give
(30:13):
him like he ought to be, like in a kind
of a zoo like natural environment, caged area right in
downtown Murphy Sporo. I think he should forever be a celebrity.
Let him graize on the tented version. Yes, we are thinking.
We've got David Foster, sixteen time Grammy Award winner who's
(30:35):
working on a new Broadway musical Monday. But we are
still trying to secure the Zebra himself as a guest
for Monday Show. Another reason to keep listening. Final Say
continues with what do I believe? Yes, I'm sorry about that.
Speaker 10 (30:48):
Hey, it's depressing as all this political rhetoric and division is.
There was no story that affected me more this week
than the father in Washington State that killed his three
little daughters. There is evil in this world, and we've
lost sight of God.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Well, there's mental illness and there's evil, right, and the
evil one loves to take advantage of mental illness. He
first takes the mind and then he kicks an evil
that is just as a father of two daughters incomprehensible
and my heart breaks too. Good point, would he Shannon
for the next thing? Welcome back, Michael.
Speaker 16 (31:31):
I want to say this. These are two billionaires, These
are two men who have built empires. They don't make
mistakes like this. I don't think this is a mistake.
I don't think that this is a stat I think
there's a long term plan, and I think they're both
working on it.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Well, that was my suspicion from the very beginning that
I don't buy this dumb and this public of a mistake.
Is this to restore everything lost with Tesla? All right,
thank you, Elon. You did what I needed done to
get elected. You did what I needed done to head
(32:10):
up DOGE. Now I need to restore your investment and
your business. That was my first thought. But then when
he got to the Elon Muscow, the Jeffrey Epstein allegations
and impeachment, I don't know, you know I started, I
was and I knew that pacent fight, and I'm sure
Elon wanted him to take President Trump to take his
(32:31):
side and not CeNSE. And I don't think the President
took either side. And so maybe it was a tantrum.
Maybe he doesn't get club of one hundred and the Senate,
and you just can't run a country the way you
run a business. I hope Donald Trump understands that I
am with Elon in that big and beautiful don't belong
in the same title, because the bigger bill is, the
(32:52):
more dead it is, and the less beautiful it is.
What we need is his tax cuts big time, and
this certainly seems to have muddied the waters. I was
also thirty seven thousand feet in the air reading different
people's X reactions. Out of all of them, this Josh guy,
(33:13):
you know we use that emoji? Lol, I literally laughed
out loud on the plane. He wrote, this messy Trump
Musk breakup is truly the gayest thing about Brian Mont
was just like, and then Dana Loewsh wrote, next down
the season finale of Mega, Chris Burger, who's here locally?
(33:36):
The real question is who's going to get the kids?
I mean, it was just but then by the time
I landed and Eli Musk is bringing up the Epstein files,
I was like, So the big question hanging into the
weekend is not will the Atlantic will ABCNBCCBSC and n
MSNBC love playing this up. The big question is can
they resolve it? And once they resolve it, were the
(33:57):
American people and those that were you in heading in
a direction for a brighter tomorrow be able to reunite
because all too often in this matrix, we pick sides
immediately and immovably, and that spells a Trump team and
a Musk team that spells division and loss of momentum,
and that would be sad. We're all in this together.
