Speaker 2 (00:19):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of un understanding because we're in this together.
This is your morning show with Michael gil charm.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
And feeling grateful that I don't have to do this
in a short dress, sitting on a couch holding papers.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Thank god I'm on the radio, all right. Seven minutes
after the hour.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Welcome to Tuesday, February, the fourth year of on Lord
twenty twenty five on the air and streaming live on
your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show. Jeffrey Lyons
has the sound. Red's keeping an eye on the content.
And if you're just waking up the oh, the big scare.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
What is the end game of Donald Trump? With the
up towards this guy who's going to raise all of
our cost of living and get life as we know
what it's going to add. What a mistake.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I told you he was a crazy tyrant. No heart
of the deal struck again. Tariffs on Mexico and Canada
have been put on hold for a month. Meanwhile, thousands,
ten thousand to the south, a billion and a half
dollars and ten thousands of the North all headed to
the border to stop the flow of fentanyl and protect
the border. The president keeping promises using tariffs once again.
(01:27):
Al Salvador says it will house violent US criminals and
take in deportees of any nationality. State Farm, the largest
home insurer in California, asking officials for an emergency rate hike,
blaming the move on the recent fire. And Willie Nelson
and Bob Dylan hit the road together this weekend. Well,
Bob's got the movie now, right, Oh that's right. And
(01:48):
you know he's got a style that really doesn't age.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
No, it does not.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I mean anybody takes very little effort to go. You
know heal this time, Josephan, didn't you, I mean anything do.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
That till a long age said I don't know that. Ben,
probably not too.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I would go see but Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan should
be a successful tour, all right, Inflation is rising has been.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Meanwhile, the cost of attending the super Bowl actually went down.
How could that be? Rory O'Neil here to explain how
gravity not at play with the Super Bowl. Yeah, Michael,
good morning.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
It looks like some of the ticket prices are actually
down about thirty percent in just the past week, below
four thousand dollars, downright affordable almost and they're about fifty
percent cheaper than they were when the Super Bowl was
being held in Las Vegas.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
They think a lot of mojo in Vegas brought out
some of the high rollers.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Maybe they're not seeing that effect when this game is
being played New Orleans this weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Well, and then what there's basic supply and demand, right
super Dome what one hundred thousand seats or somewhere around
there in Vegas far less?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Could that be part of it?
Speaker 4 (02:56):
I don't think is the Superdome that big?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I don't think it was that big ninety somewhere in there.
I don't know. By the time, you do, you know
all they do for the Super Bowl? Well, and it's
also oh these guys again, well I think that now
you hit the nail on the head. Oh these guys again, right,
So that may be a part of it as well.
So it's a bit of a mix.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
It's New Orleans, which again may not have the same
juice as Vegas, and also the fact that Patrick mahomes again.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Really all right, I presume it's all relative.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I mean, if you're wealthy, you know, an eight thousand
dollars ticket is no different than when we pay an
eighty dollars ticket. I guess that's part of it. I just,
you know, no matter what, I don't know that I
would ever spend that. I mean I always look at
those kinds of situations and I go, are you kidding me?
You could get the greatest mattress that you're going to
spend eight hours a night on. You get the greatest
(03:47):
TV that you'll watch all year long for, you know,
both for less than one ticket that's only going to
last three hours.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Well, and then here's the other A lot of it.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I never get it anyway. So a lot of people
that also that go to the big games say, oh,
it's my.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Bucket list and my team and the Chiefs are playing,
and I'm gonna spend And I did like they already
cross about the bucket list and then and they don't
have to ask, hey, honey, can we do this one
more time for five or six or seven or eight
grand a ticket? And like, you know, I thought you
said this is a one time deal. So yeah, that's
that's another thing.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
The Chiefs are definitely in the Patriot zone, aren't they.
I think we're all a little sick of that.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Well, as a Pats fan, I can also say, you know,
at least Tom at the time was not in every commercial.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah he did not like Patrick Mahomes is everywhere right,
like Patrick again for praying out, get out, get off
my TV.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
By the way, I'm gonna watch it on TV like
you or who you liking. I'm rooting for Philadelphia, I
mean anything but Kansas City.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
But yeah, I'll be out to his own nels. You're
not even gonna well, I got to take a peek anyway.
I can talk a big game, but I'm not even
gonna watch.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
So I'm gonna watch, but I mean i'll watch a little.
I'll rape it, but I'm not all right. So four
grand is what it's looking like now instead of six days.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
So they've fallen about thirty percent off last week's high.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Pretty soon by game day it'll be I got smoking,
non smoking ten dollars, fifteen dollars, all right, Roy, and
you'll be back in the third out. We'll talk about
the Trump tariff and the trade war with Canada and
Mexico obviously on hold for thirty days. Obviously troops said
it to the border. It sure looks like Donald Trump
got his way. Remember we always say you can't have
your morning show without your voice. There's a lot of
(05:33):
ways to make your voice heard. You can email Michael
di at iHeartMedia dot com like Russell did. He says,
still a Platinum Card listener, but wa, I've never really
explained that very often since we've had a lot of
cities join us. Platinum Cards started really at KFAQ in Tulsa, Oklahoma,
back in the early two thousands, and that's when when
(05:53):
you're on there at five am, who's up?
Speaker 6 (05:55):
Now?
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I've noticed, like the West Coast gets up early, and
it's a fun dominant I mean, I I don't know.
It's just very commonplace on the West Coast for people
to be up three thirty four o'clock in the morning,
which is odd to me unless I'm doing a radio show.
But they got to do business with the East Coast,
and they're up early. They're getting all the stuff done,
so they're hitting the ground running at six am, which
(06:16):
is eight am in New York.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
So I mean, I guess there's a phenomenon there.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
But for most people, when you're on the air in
the five o'clock hour, the host kind of view it
as a ramp up time. That's when they're finalizing their prep.
They're just kind of going through the motions and they're
giving your best stuff. In the seven hour, they're, you know,
ramping up a little bit in the six I never
viewed it that way, and I always viewed that early
(06:39):
audience that's where I want to give the best stuff
because I think that's the real movers and shakers. If
you're up that early, you take parenting seriously. F you're
that up that early, you take your fitness seriously, you
take your work seriously, you take your country seriously.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Many of you are up praying that early. You take
eternity that seriously.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I give the best buried in the five o'clock hour
because those are the movers and shakers that are really
going to make a difference.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
So I call it. I call it that guy looked
a lot like Red.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I call it the Platinum card listeners, like the old
member the American Express Platinum Card.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I give you the ultimate privilege.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Now, when we were on in Tulsa, we actually gave
premiums to them, So like when we did a show
or a concert or something, they got first DIBs on tickets.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
They I mean it was like it really was like
a platinum card status. You gave stuff away. Yeah, we
really got to get to that. We should just among
the three of us, just get permission to start selling
our own stuff, like merch.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah, I would love to have some merch for this show.
Mugs makes sense, shirts makes sense, sweat bands. I mean,
everybody should have your morning show hoodie.
Speaker 7 (07:49):
Right.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
So anyway, Russell starts with still a Platinum Card listener.
Enjoy your show.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Since you're such a music buff, I thought you might
enjoy this twenty eighteen live version of The Doobie Brothers
Dark Eyed Cage Woman. People don't know that about the
Doobie Brothers. Man, they can boy, they can sing the blues.
My favorite story is Blackwater, which in honor of you, Russell,
you're gonna hear this. We're gonna add Blackwater to our
rejoin music. I love that story because as often as
(08:17):
the case, you know, all the way in California, they're
working on a project and off in the corner there's
a guitarist, somebody like a Patrick Simmons who's just you know,
working on something. And then somebody hears me, what's that
that sounds cool? It's just something that they've been working on.
And the guy said to the intercom, you need to
do a song about that. So he keeps that little
(08:38):
riff he has in mind. They're down in New Orleans
and he's just looking out over I've done it a
million times, you know, going down to Cafe Dumont, or
had a sandwich at Masparrows, and then you walk up
the levee and you just sit there and watch the
Mississippi roll by, and at night it really is dark,
and he looks at the water. He gets the line,
(09:02):
you know, the raft, old Mississippi calling my name, old Blackwater,
keep on rolling, and then puts it to that riff.
It becomes a classic. That's still my favorite, but next
to that my second favorite, Doobie Brothers song about New Orleans.
I've never heard the live version, so thanks. I listened
to it the last break. But Dark Eyed Cajun, I
think what a fool believes Blackwater are my two favorites.
(09:23):
China Grove I liked a lot more as a kid
than I do now. Just Blackwater is a masterpiece. If
I roll Blackwater right now, people go, oh, that feels good,
just even the beginning with the chimes. But musically, lyrically,
this is good stuff. I didn't realize the chimes with
(09:43):
that one. And there's the little riff he was doing
that the guy.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
That's a story. I've never heard about this song, certainly, No,
they love New Orleans read it too. A oh missus
sim bass. While we can't do special things on the radio,
becreas you just start singing was the one I did earlier.
I had it completely wrong. Oh my gosh. Yeah. I
(10:14):
thought it was Island of the Airwaves, which really does
make no sense when we were doing Pilot of the Airwaves.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yeah, which explains why I always did pilots in the breeze,
and I was like, it's not islands in the stream,
it's island of the airwaves.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
I never get the words. You've got this as my
request see.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
It.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
But the things that I have to do to keep
the energy up in the morning.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
So when you hear a great song, you can't. It's
not like instant you sing along. You can just sit
and listen quietly. Well, yes, Jack, can I gotta say
just comes out?
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
If I hear something, I have to say it back.
I have to mock it, and not mock it in
a bad way, but try to reproduce what I'm hearing.
My brother Vic is fascinated at how tone deaf I am,
but it doesn't stop me. I still enjoy sing it along, don't.
I'm not self conscious at all. I man had too
much fun. You have pretty decent pitch. No, it's terrible.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I'm tone deaf. I don't get it. I don't get
the whole concept starting to see. How do I know
where see is? It's a visitor. You don't have perfect pitch,
but you have good pitch. I can sing and pitches,
Neil Diamond.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I can't, as myself apparently does Love on the rocks
ain't no big surprise?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Pall me a dream? Can now tell you some lies?
How you do it? Yesterday's gone? No I want this
this song.
Speaker 8 (11:35):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chano.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I told right, I'm gonna do this entire newscast in
my newscast voice.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Yeah, you can't do that.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Why because you like the relatable kind Yeah, I like it.
I like to play radio sometimes. This just this just
did twenty five minutes after the hour for just Waking Up.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he's the acting director
of the us AI.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
D Mark Mayfield fills us in. He criticized the agency
responsible for foreign aid.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
It's been twenty or thirty years where people have tried
to reform it, and it refused us to reform.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
It refuses to cooperate.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
When we were in Congress, we couldn't even get answers
the basic questions about programs that will not continue. This
comes after Elon Musk said the agency responsible for foreign
eight is beyond repair and that the Trump administration is
working to shut it down.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
The Trump administration removed two top.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Security officials at USAIT over the weekend when they tried
to stop Musk's Department of Government Efficiency from entering restricted
parts of its HQ. The agency is the largest distributor
of foreign aid in the world and gave some seventy
two billion dollars last year to programs from everything from
women's health and AIDS treatments to anti corruption efforts and
access to clean water.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I'm Mark Mayfield, Thank you, Mark. That's great reporting.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Telsey Gabbard's nomination for National Intelligence Director looks more.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Secure than thought. Brian Shook as the details.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
Senator Susan Collins from Maine announced Monday she'll vote for Gabbard,
which means the former congresswoman from Hawaii will likely be confirmed.
Colins said that during the confirmation hearing and closed door meetings,
Gabbard addressed her concerns regarding her views on Edward Snowden.
Snowden leaked classified information during his time as a National
(13:15):
Security Agency contractor. If confirmed, Gabard would oversee eighteen agencies
and organizations under the intelligence umbrella.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Well, obviously, the Super Bowl's a New Orleans and we
know how New Orleans made news, but the NFL is
touting at security ahead of Super Bowl fifty nine.
Speaker 9 (13:32):
League officials set on Monday that the safest place this
weekend will be under the security umbrella around Caesar Superdome.
The plan includes help from the Department of Homeland Security,
which is dispatched nearly five hundred FBI personnel to New
Orleans to investigate and prevent threats. The intense security measures
have been in place for about two years. However, concerns
were heightened following a terror attack that killed fifteen people
(13:55):
outside of the Superdome before the college football playoff Sugar
Bowl matchup between Georgia and Notre Dame on January first.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
I'm tammage for HEO.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Wasn't Final Destination the first one? The kids were all
on the plane and the one didn't get on. The
plane crashed. Everybody died. He didn't, so death came after him.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Wasn't that?
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Apparently they've done like five or six of them, and
the first trailer is being released for Final Destination Bloodlines.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
My old man just died. I come in as a
favorite and now they want me to lock up.
Speaker 8 (14:29):
Hey five star review.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
I'm like and subscribe on all those things.
Speaker 10 (14:35):
The film comes fourteen years after the release of Final
Destination five. The franchise follows young people who get premonitions
of deadly events happening to themselves and their friends. Final destination.
Blood Lines is set to hit theaters on May sixteenth.
Iley's a Taylor, or as I call it, a Thursday
night dream.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
In the NBA, Pistons lost at home by two to
the Hawks, Wizards one by ten, and Charlotte Kings won
one sixteen, one fourteen over the Wolves, Thunder up by
twenty nine over the Bucks, Griz big over the Spurs,
Warriors won over the Magic, and the Suns lost to
the Blazers on the ice one game. The Prets lost
again at home, five to two to the Senator's birthday
Alice Cooper seventy seven years old. My brother, that nightmare
(15:16):
has never ended. He's a good guy. Well he's a
great guy, but he did that. I loves the Laura
and stayed married, had a stick with snakes. Come on,
give him a break, look great with eye makeup. I
think I'd be on Standard fifteen on stage the.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Great one, Lt.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Lawrence Taylor's sixty six, country artist Clinton Black what happened
to Him? Sixty three years old? And singer Natalie Ambruglia
is the Big five oh fifty.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
We have one other special birthday and for that we
go to.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Our roving reporter, Scott morning, Michael, favor to ask my
ninety two year old friend Victoria has never celebrated the
birthday anniversary.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
So if the class could join me in this cheechees
version of Happy Birthday.
Speaker 11 (15:55):
Happy, Happy birthday, Happy heay, Happy birthday, Hey, Happy birthday
to you, to you, to you, Ola, Thank you, Michael,
great show as always, Happy birthday ninety three years young.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
I'm Lenny McGill, the McGill's world famous block store, and
my morning show is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Hi, I'm Michael.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
We'd love to have you listen every weekday morning to
your morning show live, even take us along with you
on the drive to work. We can be heard on
great radio stations like one oh four nine The Patriot
in Saint Louis, Our Talk Radio ninety eight point three
and fifteen ten WLAC and Nashville, and News Talk five
fifty k f YI in Phoenix, Arizona. Love to be
a part of your morning routine. But we're always grateful
(16:45):
you're here. Now enjoy the podcast. If you're just waking up.
The tariffs on Mexico and Canada put on hold for
thirty days, Why they blinked and caved Mexico sending ten
thousand troops to the border to stop the flow of drugs, fentanyl,
drug lords, human smugglers.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
And helped secure the border.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Canada doing the same by pledging what was it read,
one point three billion dollars for a border plan in
addition to appointing a fentanyl czar. We shared a meme
that was earlier today and I shared with it a
long explanation of it. Really academic, intelligent guy doing this big,
(17:24):
long presentation on the very things that you think are
the weirdest and craziest and most reckless about Donald Trump
are what make him brilliant. Any politician can describe to
you a problem and go through the motions of enacting,
you know, actions towards it, but it never arrives at anything. Now,
Donald Trump just out of the blue, he started talking about,
maybe we'll make Canada in our fifty first date. You know,
(17:47):
maybe we'll take a look at Greenland, let mebe look
at the Panama Canal. This makes no sense what this
was set up to, and how it's been taken over
by China, and how we're getting secondary treatment for all
the money we're giving.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Maybe we'll take a look, and it all leads to something.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
And so the meme is like a clockwise circle, and
it starts at twelve o'clock Trump wants a foreign leader
to do something. By three o'clock, Trump announces tariffs. At
six o'clock, everybody freaks out, claims the tariffs won't work
this time and we're all going to pay the price
for his recklessness. By nine o'clock, leader's cave and Trump
(18:23):
gets what he wants. And that's exactly where we're at
this morning. Mexico caved, Canada caved, and despite the mainstream
media trying to tell you how this was going to
hurt America, and ignore that sixty percent of the GDP
in Canada is tied to goods from the US, these
countries couldn't exist. We don't need their one percent, but
(18:48):
they need our sixty percent. That's the art of the deal.
And it didn't even have to go into effect, and
it shouldn't even have come to this, but it won't
in the future because people will take him serious when
he makes a threat.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
And already we get the news. You know, I like
to do it like the analogy of you know, people
on a on a plane.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Or even on a subway and they're reading the newspaper
and you're looking around at what they're reading and you
can see Mexico caves, pledges to stop ventanyl and trafficking,
sent ten thousand troops to the border, Canada one point
three billion in border security, and a fentanyls are. Oh,
(19:34):
by the way, Panama is breaking off its relations with
China and the Canal. And you know, you just think
they can one victory after another, and we did in
our Sounds of the Day, the feature of you know,
Donald Trump makes the claim, I've done more in two
weeks that Joe Biden and Barack Obama did in twelve years,
and he has. Then we played the laundry list of
(20:00):
things that he has gotten don and this is before
the whole cave with Mexico and Canada. Caroline love It,
White House spokesperson, just lays out everything this guy's gotten
done in two weeks.
Speaker 12 (20:13):
We are two weeks in and President Trump is already
delivering big wins for the American people.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Let's go through the facts on the border.
Speaker 12 (20:20):
President Trump declared a national emergency, deployed the military, ended
catch and release, and reinstated remain in Mexico and already
illegal crossings are down ninety five percent. We are resuming
construction of the border wall, and Columbia's president is now
offering his own plane for deportation of illegal Columbian immigrants.
(20:42):
On the economy and energy, President Trump unleashed American energy,
declared a national energy emergency, and killed Joe Biden's radical
electric vehicle mandate. Wall Street is booming. AI investments skyrocketed
to five hundred billion dollars, and there's twenty million flowing
into US data centers across our country. President Trump is
(21:04):
restoring law and order. He labeled the drug cartels as
foreign terrorist organizations, and he is deporting criminal illegal aliens.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
And he signed the Lake and Riley Act into.
Speaker 12 (21:14):
Law, draining the swamp. President Trump signed more than forty
five executive orders. DEI has been purged from the government,
and our military and lazy federal workers have been ordered
back to the office. And when it comes to free
speech and transparency, President Trump took twelve times more press
(21:35):
questions than Joe Biden did in a week, reinstated four
hundred and forty silenced journalists to the press room, and
ended government censorship promise has made promises.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Kept and as before.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
His third week begins with the ultimate art of the
deal with Canada and Mexico.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
S h, you bring up Panama. Is this crazy? Not
going to try to get a military operation and take over.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
The Panama No heart of the deal strikes again. It
was never about taking over the Panama Canal. It's about
making Panama do what they agreed to do and remain
neutral in their administration of it, mainly writing China's influence
over the canal. Nobody even knew what China was up
(22:27):
to in the Panama Canal until Donald Trump gets in office.
Four years of Joe Biden, hat a peep nothing nobody
even noticed. It's like all this misspending that comes out daily,
that was all going on. Nobody was talking about. The
media certainly wasn't going to out it. How about the
clip I played earlier of rand Paul drilling the USAID
chairwoman about their funding of the coronavirus. You never even
(22:53):
got to hear that clip till I played it today.
Adama says it will not renew its agreement involving China's
premier foreign investment program. After the Panamanian leaders met with
the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is well, this
whole cabinet is turning out to be historically impressive. Can
(23:16):
I just say something I don't want to break into
like a funny nostrudel journo, But I look at JD.
Vance and there's something really youthful presidential about this guy.
He's impressive. You know, I watched Marco Rubio and he's
presidentially impressive. I know a lot of you agree that
he's perfect for Secretary of State, but there's something presidential.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
You know what else?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Pete Hegseth looks presidential to me, just the way he
sits at a desk with no jacket and his sleeves
rolled up. Back to Vance, he wasn't your first choice, No,
Marco was. This is impressive. The line of succession ahead,
and it's impressive what they're doing. And it's breathtaking what
Donald Trump has got done in two weeks, and every
(24:01):
step of the way, the left in the media has
tried to scare you make it about Look, I cannot
say this enough, and I've said it every day to
the point where you're probably sick of hearing me say it.
Narratives always die and their cause of death is reality.
Twenty four hours ago, the narrative was, what's Donald Trump
(24:23):
recklessly doing? What could possibly be his endgame on this?
This is going to destroy the economy, drive up the
cost of gasoline, home heating, drive up the cost of produce.
Maybe they got off the air and went to the bathroom.
By the time they got out of the stall, Mexico
had caved.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
It.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Probably went and had a long lunch thinking, oh crap. Well,
hopefully you know, China and Canada stick it to us
or we're gonna really look stupid tomorrow. And then Canada caves,
and then before they put their head on the pillow,
Animal caves. I don't know what next, Greenland, but the
(25:09):
all go on the air today and they'll just press
on to usaid and feel stupid by Thursday. Would we say,
day after day after day, Well, if these tariffs go
into effect, you might feel a little pinch on produce
from Mexico, you may feel a little pinch on home
(25:29):
eating oil and shipping fuel and airline fuel. But by
and large, there's not a whole lot coming from there.
To hear parts here and there, but they stand to
lose sixty percent of their economy, and no sooner, just
in case Canada wanted to blink. By early mid afternoon,
(25:54):
the reports of businesses thinking about relocating from Canada to
US for a lot of reasons was back to the
analogy I gave yesterday with the husband and wife team
in Canada that border from terrorism and fentanyl and human
trabu needed to be protected anyway for Canada's sake. Oh
(26:15):
Trudeau is not gonna do nothing, and the election is
until October.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Well, he came down the phone.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
He pledged one point three billion dollars to borders security
and even a ventinylsar. Ten thousand troops in Mexico are
heading to the border to fight off the drug cartels
and help secure the border.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
The Guard of the deals struck again and.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
For the left, they tried to scare the crap out
of you and make him a tyrant out of control.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Just added to his list of two and a half
weeks and growing of things.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
He got done. I don't know about you, but I
haven't gotten anything done in the last two and a
half weeks compared to Donald Trump. And I was talking
about the troll on X I'm so glad you have
John Takhkert, Well so am I? So you get it,
says I mean, you just bend off your backwards to
somehow to support what Donald Trump's doing no matter what. Well,
(27:05):
good luck with that. I just wonder what people like
that are thinking today. I mean, at what point does
it become delusional or a derangement syndrome that you can't see.
(27:25):
But this guy is accomplishing and by the way, and
standing against him, all you're doing is rooting against yourself.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
This is your morning show with Michael del Trono.
Speaker 12 (27:37):
Do you think the twenty twenty eight tickets gonna be JD?
Speaker 8 (27:41):
Vance?
Speaker 4 (27:41):
And he sa JD.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Advance then gabbed.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
That's interesting. You know, we talked about this. There's a
lot for Donald Trump to get done. Donald Trump's second
term really becomes the midterm and then the successful handoff
of trump Ism to the year apparent.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
I think.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Based on the fact that he's the vice president, based
on the fact that he has risen like no other
vice president has to that position, I think we can
all safely put Jade Vance as the heir apparent.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
I still think Vance DeSantis is a real possibility. Vance
Rubio is a real possibility. I agree, Vance Gabbard is
a possibility, and I think she'll get her confirmation today,
which will help with that. Don't forget Vance Huckabee Sanders too.
I still think that's looming, but we'll see. There's time
for that. Right now, we're just keeping up with what
they're getting done. Speaking of Telsea Gabbard, the Senate expected
(28:37):
to vote on her and RFK Junior today. In our
White House, correspondent John Decker's here with the latest. Good morning, John, Hey.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
The Senate Intelligence Committee will vote on the nomination of
Tulsi Gabbert to be the next Director of National Intelligence.
She got a big boost yesterday. That's because Senator Susan Collins,
Republican of Maine, indicated that she is a yes vote
will vote for Tulsi Gabbert to be the next DNI.
She had been seen as a possible no vote was
(29:06):
on the fence. And so now all eyes on some
other senators who have not yet indicated how they will vote.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
On Tulsi Gabbert's nomination. All right, so Red gets the
game ball on this.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Because we were talking off the air and I said, well,
I think Tulsi looks like a closer one even than
RFK Junior. And he said, well, if you watched closely
the one on one questioning with Senator Collins, it looks
like she was pleased. And then we understand there were
some follow up meetings in Senator Collins's office, and now
she has said she feels comfortable confirming that.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
That pretty much paves the way. What about RFK Junior, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:42):
You know, I think all eyes are on one senator
in particular, who could kill the nomination that Senator Cassidy.
He's a senator from Louisiana, a medical doctor by training,
who had real issues with some of the answers that
RFK Junior gave to him during his confirmation hearing that
(30:02):
took place last week, so a lot of focus on him.
He is up for re election as a US Senator
next year. He already is facing a primary challenge, and
the reason being is because of his vote as it
relates to the second impeachment of President Donald Trump. He
voted to impeach Donald Trump to convict him in the
(30:23):
US Senate, so all eyes will be on him, and
that vote also taking place today in the committee that
oversees the Department of Health and Human Services.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
All right, so you cow many administrations now eight?
Speaker 6 (30:37):
Yeah, that's about right. Yes, still place first term?
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Why do I know more about your life than my own? Anywhere?
But I mean you fought.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
I mean what a crazy day yesterday was. I mean
you're watching and again, I mean there's a little bit
of the matrix in the you know, the narrative divide
in America. But as everybody's making their case, what's this
guy doing? What's his endgame that's going to drive up
the cost of living? This is reckless?
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Or even if we throw in Panama, why is he
worried about the canal? Why is he worried about Greenland?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
And yet look at how yesterday panned out alone with
first Mexico blinking and now ten thousand troops coming to
the border, Canada blinking, one point three billion dollars and
a fentanyls are being named, the whole tariff is on hold,
Panama redirecting with China. I mean, it's pretty remarkable, you
know that what he's getting done. Do you think do
(31:31):
you think America is seeing this and getting all this
and what do you make of all this? This is
like nothing we've ever had to cover at this speed anyway,
how much he's getting die.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
I agree with you on the second part. You know,
I can't speak for all Americans, but I agree with
you on the second part of what you just said. Michael.
It's pretty remarkable in terms of all of the things
that Donald Trump has done by executive action during his
first few weeks in office. The tariff that is something
that it can do unilaterally, and the threat of tariffs
(32:03):
something he can and did do unilaterally. And as you
point out, he's put a thirty day pause in those
tariffs on goods coming from Mexico and Canada. We'll see
whether or not they meet the parameters of what Donald
Trump wants to see over the next thirty days. But
the tariffs against China have been implemented, and China has
(32:23):
respected retaliatory tariffs against American goods. So not everything worked
out yesterday, but certainly for those and I think on
Wall Street in particular, very much concerned about a trade war,
they were mollified yesterday by the way things turned out
as it relates to Mexico and.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Canada, Because as we were discussing and then we get
into the weeds and we say, well, you got a
lot of produce coming from Mexico.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
You might feel that you got a lot of.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Crude coming from Canada that's used for you know, what
we use for home heating, what we use for ships
and for airline fuel. You know, you might feel that
a little bit. But all of it was just an
art of the deal tool to get them to the table.
And they came to the table, and so now it's
all on hold. We'll see how long it lasts. Hopefully
long beyond thirty days. All right, appreciate it, John, we'll
(33:12):
talk again tomorrow. You know, we talked earlier about this,
this art of the deal. And I keep bringing up
this meme because I've often wanted to do a book
on memes, because at the end of every year, the
news cycles, they come and go, and in the midst
of all these narratives and all this confusion, there are
(33:33):
memes of like truth that are just out there. This
one is a picture of Donald Trump, and it says
that think, at like a clock going clockwise, Trump wants
a foreign leader to do something. Then at three o'clock
Trump announces tariffs. Then at six o'clock Left claims tariffs
won't work this time. Then at nine o'clock leader caves.
Trump gets what he wants, and that's the cycle. And
I was talking about this academic guy, and he's giving
you this long explanation of how the things you think
(33:56):
are the most irrational and crazy and out of the
blue are his his style and what makes him most brilliant.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
And most productive. And it struck again yesterday. That's for sure.
Speaker 8 (34:06):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Vindel Joano
Hi, I'm Michael. I'd love to have you listen to
your morning show live. Every day We're heard on great
stations like News Talk five point fifty k FYI and
Phoenix News Radio, eleven ninety k EX in Portland and
ten ninety The Patriot in Seattle. Make us a part
of your morning routine. We'd love to have you listen live.
But in the meantime, enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of un understanding because we're in this together.
This is your morning show with Michael gil charm.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
And feeling grateful that I don't have to do this
in a short dress, sitting on a couch holding papers.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Thank god I'm on the radio, all right. Seven minutes
after the hour.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Welcome to Tuesday, February, the fourth year of on Lord
twenty twenty five on the air and streaming live on
your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show. Jeffrey Lyons
has the sound. Red's keeping an eye on the content.
And if you're just waking up the oh, the big scare.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
What is the end game of Donald Trump? With the
up towards this guy who's going to raise all of
our cost of living and get life as we know
what it's going to add. What a mistake.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I told you he was a crazy tyrant. No heart
of the deal struck again. Tariffs on Mexico and Canada
have been put on hold for a month. Meanwhile, thousands,
ten thousand to the south, a billion and a half
dollars and ten thousands of the North all headed to
the border to stop the flow of fentanyl and protect
the border. The president keeping promises using tariffs once again.
(01:27):
Al Salvador says it will house violent US criminals and
take in deportees of any nationality. State Farm, the largest
home insurer in California, asking officials for an emergency rate hike,
blaming the move on the recent fire. And Willie Nelson
and Bob Dylan hit the road together this weekend. Well,
Bob's got the movie now, right, Oh that's right. And
(01:48):
you know he's got a style that really doesn't age.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
No, it does not.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I mean anybody takes very little effort to go. You
know heal this time, Josephan, didn't you, I mean anything do.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
That till a long age said I don't know that. Ben,
probably not too.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I would go see but Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan should
be a successful tour, all right, Inflation is rising has been.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Meanwhile, the cost of attending the super Bowl actually went down.
How could that be? Rory O'Neil here to explain how
gravity not at play with the Super Bowl. Yeah, Michael,
good morning.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
It looks like some of the ticket prices are actually
down about thirty percent in just the past week, below
four thousand dollars, downright affordable almost and they're about fifty
percent cheaper than they were when the Super Bowl was
being held in Las Vegas.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
They think a lot of mojo in Vegas brought out
some of the high rollers.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Maybe they're not seeing that effect when this game is
being played New Orleans this weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Well, and then what there's basic supply and demand, right
super Dome what one hundred thousand seats or somewhere around
there in Vegas far less?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Could that be part of it?
Speaker 4 (02:56):
I don't think is the Superdome that big?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I don't think it was that big ninety somewhere in there.
I don't know. By the time, you do, you know
all they do for the Super Bowl? Well, and it's
also oh these guys again, well I think that now
you hit the nail on the head. Oh these guys again, right,
So that may be a part of it as well.
So it's a bit of a mix.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
It's New Orleans, which again may not have the same
juice as Vegas, and also the fact that Patrick mahomes again.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Really all right, I presume it's all relative.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I mean, if you're wealthy, you know, an eight thousand
dollars ticket is no different than when we pay an
eighty dollars ticket. I guess that's part of it. I just,
you know, no matter what, I don't know that I
would ever spend that. I mean I always look at
those kinds of situations and I go, are you kidding me?
You could get the greatest mattress that you're going to
spend eight hours a night on. You get the greatest
(03:47):
TV that you'll watch all year long for, you know,
both for less than one ticket that's only going to
last three hours.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Well, and then here's the other A lot of it.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I never get it anyway. So a lot of people
that also that go to the big games say, oh,
it's my.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Bucket list and my team and the Chiefs are playing,
and I'm gonna spend And I did like they already
cross about the bucket list and then and they don't
have to ask, hey, honey, can we do this one
more time for five or six or seven or eight
grand a ticket? And like, you know, I thought you
said this is a one time deal. So yeah, that's
that's another thing.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
The Chiefs are definitely in the Patriot zone, aren't they.
I think we're all a little sick of that.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Well, as a Pats fan, I can also say, you know,
at least Tom at the time was not in every commercial.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah he did not like Patrick Mahomes is everywhere right,
like Patrick again for praying out, get out, get off
my TV.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
By the way, I'm gonna watch it on TV like
you or who you liking. I'm rooting for Philadelphia, I
mean anything but Kansas City.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
But yeah, I'll be out to his own nels. You're
not even gonna well, I got to take a peek anyway.
I can talk a big game, but I'm not even
gonna watch.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
So I'm gonna watch, but I mean i'll watch a little.
I'll rape it, but I'm not all right. So four
grand is what it's looking like now instead of six days.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
So they've fallen about thirty percent off last week's high.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Pretty soon by game day it'll be I got smoking,
non smoking ten dollars, fifteen dollars, all right, Roy, and
you'll be back in the third out. We'll talk about
the Trump tariff and the trade war with Canada and
Mexico obviously on hold for thirty days. Obviously troops said
it to the border. It sure looks like Donald Trump
got his way. Remember we always say you can't have
your morning show without your voice. There's a lot of
(05:33):
ways to make your voice heard. You can email Michael
di at iHeartMedia dot com like Russell did. He says,
still a Platinum Card listener, but wa, I've never really
explained that very often since we've had a lot of
cities join us. Platinum Cards started really at KFAQ in Tulsa, Oklahoma,
back in the early two thousands, and that's when when
(05:53):
you're on there at five am, who's up?
Speaker 6 (05:55):
Now?
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I've noticed, like the West Coast gets up early, and
it's a fun dominant I mean, I I don't know.
It's just very commonplace on the West Coast for people
to be up three thirty four o'clock in the morning,
which is odd to me unless I'm doing a radio show.
But they got to do business with the East Coast,
and they're up early. They're getting all the stuff done,
so they're hitting the ground running at six am, which
(06:16):
is eight am in New York.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
So I mean, I guess there's a phenomenon there.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
But for most people, when you're on the air in
the five o'clock hour, the host kind of view it
as a ramp up time. That's when they're finalizing their prep.
They're just kind of going through the motions and they're
giving your best stuff. In the seven hour, they're, you know,
ramping up a little bit in the six I never
viewed it that way, and I always viewed that early
(06:39):
audience that's where I want to give the best stuff
because I think that's the real movers and shakers. If
you're up that early, you take parenting seriously. F you're
that up that early, you take your fitness seriously, you
take your work seriously, you take your country seriously.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Many of you are up praying that early. You take
eternity that seriously.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I give the best buried in the five o'clock hour
because those are the movers and shakers that are really
going to make a difference.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
So I call it. I call it that guy looked
a lot like Red.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I call it the Platinum card listeners, like the old
member the American Express Platinum Card.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I give you the ultimate privilege.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Now, when we were on in Tulsa, we actually gave
premiums to them, So like when we did a show
or a concert or something, they got first DIBs on tickets.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
They I mean it was like it really was like
a platinum card status. You gave stuff away. Yeah, we
really got to get to that. We should just among
the three of us, just get permission to start selling
our own stuff, like merch.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah, I would love to have some merch for this show.
Mugs makes sense, shirts makes sense, sweat bands. I mean,
everybody should have your morning show hoodie.
Speaker 7 (07:49):
Right.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
So anyway, Russell starts with still a Platinum Card listener.
Enjoy your show.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Since you're such a music buff, I thought you might
enjoy this twenty eighteen live version of The Doobie Brothers
Dark Eyed Cage Woman. People don't know that about the
Doobie Brothers. Man, they can boy, they can sing the blues.
My favorite story is Blackwater, which in honor of you, Russell,
you're gonna hear this. We're gonna add Blackwater to our
rejoin music. I love that story because as often as
(08:17):
the case, you know, all the way in California, they're
working on a project and off in the corner there's
a guitarist, somebody like a Patrick Simmons who's just you know,
working on something. And then somebody hears me, what's that
that sounds cool? It's just something that they've been working on.
And the guy said to the intercom, you need to
do a song about that. So he keeps that little
(08:38):
riff he has in mind. They're down in New Orleans
and he's just looking out over I've done it a
million times, you know, going down to Cafe Dumont, or
had a sandwich at Masparrows, and then you walk up
the levee and you just sit there and watch the
Mississippi roll by, and at night it really is dark,
and he looks at the water. He gets the line,
(09:02):
you know, the raft, old Mississippi calling my name, old Blackwater,
keep on rolling, and then puts it to that riff.
It becomes a classic. That's still my favorite, but next
to that my second favorite, Doobie Brothers song about New Orleans.
I've never heard the live version, so thanks. I listened
to it the last break. But Dark Eyed Cajun, I
think what a fool believes Blackwater are my two favorites.
(09:23):
China Grove I liked a lot more as a kid
than I do now. Just Blackwater is a masterpiece. If
I roll Blackwater right now, people go, oh, that feels good,
just even the beginning with the chimes. But musically, lyrically,
this is good stuff. I didn't realize the chimes with
(09:43):
that one. And there's the little riff he was doing
that the guy.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
That's a story. I've never heard about this song, certainly, No,
they love New Orleans read it too. A oh missus
sim bass. While we can't do special things on the radio,
becreas you just start singing was the one I did earlier.
I had it completely wrong. Oh my gosh. Yeah. I
(10:14):
thought it was Island of the Airwaves, which really does
make no sense when we were doing Pilot of the Airwaves.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yeah, which explains why I always did pilots in the breeze,
and I was like, it's not islands in the stream,
it's island of the airwaves.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
I never get the words. You've got this as my
request see.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
It.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
But the things that I have to do to keep
the energy up in the morning.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
So when you hear a great song, you can't. It's
not like instant you sing along. You can just sit
and listen quietly. Well, yes, Jack, can I gotta say
just comes out?
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
If I hear something, I have to say it back.
I have to mock it, and not mock it in
a bad way, but try to reproduce what I'm hearing.
My brother Vic is fascinated at how tone deaf I am,
but it doesn't stop me. I still enjoy sing it along, don't.
I'm not self conscious at all. I man had too
much fun. You have pretty decent pitch. No, it's terrible.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I'm tone deaf. I don't get it. I don't get
the whole concept starting to see. How do I know
where see is? It's a visitor. You don't have perfect pitch,
but you have good pitch. I can sing and pitches,
Neil Diamond.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I can't, as myself apparently does Love on the rocks
ain't no big surprise?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Pall me a dream? Can now tell you some lies?
How you do it? Yesterday's gone? No I want this
this song.
Speaker 8 (11:35):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chano.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I told right, I'm gonna do this entire newscast in
my newscast voice.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Yeah, you can't do that.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Why because you like the relatable kind Yeah, I like it.
I like to play radio sometimes. This just this just
did twenty five minutes after the hour for just Waking Up.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he's the acting director
of the us AI.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
D Mark Mayfield fills us in. He criticized the agency
responsible for foreign aid.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
It's been twenty or thirty years where people have tried
to reform it, and it refused us to reform.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
It refuses to cooperate.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
When we were in Congress, we couldn't even get answers
the basic questions about programs that will not continue. This
comes after Elon Musk said the agency responsible for foreign
eight is beyond repair and that the Trump administration is
working to shut it down.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
The Trump administration removed two top.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Security officials at USAIT over the weekend when they tried
to stop Musk's Department of Government Efficiency from entering restricted
parts of its HQ. The agency is the largest distributor
of foreign aid in the world and gave some seventy
two billion dollars last year to programs from everything from
women's health and AIDS treatments to anti corruption efforts and
access to clean water.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I'm Mark Mayfield, Thank you, Mark. That's great reporting.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Telsey Gabbard's nomination for National Intelligence Director looks more.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Secure than thought. Brian Shook as the details.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
Senator Susan Collins from Maine announced Monday she'll vote for Gabbard,
which means the former congresswoman from Hawaii will likely be confirmed.
Colins said that during the confirmation hearing and closed door meetings,
Gabbard addressed her concerns regarding her views on Edward Snowden.
Snowden leaked classified information during his time as a National
(13:15):
Security Agency contractor. If confirmed, Gabard would oversee eighteen agencies
and organizations under the intelligence umbrella.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Well, obviously, the Super Bowl's a New Orleans and we
know how New Orleans made news, but the NFL is
touting at security ahead of Super Bowl fifty nine.
Speaker 9 (13:32):
League officials set on Monday that the safest place this
weekend will be under the security umbrella around Caesar Superdome.
The plan includes help from the Department of Homeland Security,
which is dispatched nearly five hundred FBI personnel to New
Orleans to investigate and prevent threats. The intense security measures
have been in place for about two years. However, concerns
were heightened following a terror attack that killed fifteen people
(13:55):
outside of the Superdome before the college football playoff Sugar
Bowl matchup between Georgia and Notre Dame on January first.

Wasn't Final Destination the first one? The kids were all
on the plane and the one didn't get on. The
plane crashed. Everybody died. He didn't, so death came after him.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Wasn't that?
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Apparently they've done like five or six of them, and
the first trailer is being released for Final Destination Bloodlines.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
My old man just died. I come in as a

Iley's a Taylor, or as I call it, a Thursday
night dream.

the Hawks, Wizards one by ten, and Charlotte Kings won
one sixteen, one fourteen over the Wolves, Thunder up by
twenty nine over the Bucks, Griz big over the Spurs,
Warriors won over the Magic, and the Suns lost to
the Blazers on the ice one game. The Prets lost
again at home, five to two to the Senator's birthday
Alice Cooper seventy seven years old. My brother, that nightmare
(15:16):
has never ended. He's a good guy. Well he's a
great guy, but he did that. I loves the Laura

We'd love to have you listen every weekday morning to

The tariffs on Mexico and Canada put on hold for
thirty days, Why they blinked and caved Mexico sending ten
thousand troops to the border to stop the flow of drugs, fentanyl,
drug lords, human smugglers.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
And helped secure the border.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Canada doing the same by pledging what was it read,
one point three billion dollars for a border plan in
addition to appointing a fentanyl czar. We shared a meme
that was earlier today and I shared with it a
long explanation of it. Really academic, intelligent guy doing this big,
(17:24):
long presentation on the very things that you think are
the weirdest and craziest and most reckless about Donald Trump
are what make him brilliant. Any politician can describe to
you a problem and go through the motions of enacting,
you know, actions towards it, but it never arrives at anything. Now,
Donald Trump just out of the blue, he started talking about,
maybe we'll make Canada in our fifty first date. You know,
(17:47):
maybe we'll take a look at Greenland, let mebe look
at the Panama Canal. This makes no sense what this
was set up to, and how it's been taken over
by China, and how we're getting secondary treatment for all
the money we're giving.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Maybe we'll take a look, and it all leads to something.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
And so the meme is like a clockwise circle, and
it starts at twelve o'clock Trump wants a foreign leader
to do something. By three o'clock, Trump announces tariffs. At
six o'clock, everybody freaks out, claims the tariffs won't work
this time and we're all going to pay the price
for his recklessness. By nine o'clock, leader's cave and Trump
(18:23):
gets what he wants. And that's exactly where we're at
this morning. Mexico caved, Canada caved, and despite the mainstream
media trying to tell you how this was going to
hurt America, and ignore that sixty percent of the GDP
in Canada is tied to goods from the US, these
countries couldn't exist. We don't need their one percent, but
(18:48):
they need our sixty percent. That's the art of the deal.
And it didn't even have to go into effect, and
it shouldn't even have come to this, but it won't
in the future because people will take him serious when
he makes a threat.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
And already we get the news. You know, I like
to do it like the analogy of you know, people
on a on a plane.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Or even on a subway and they're reading the newspaper
and you're looking around at what they're reading and you
can see Mexico caves, pledges to stop ventanyl and trafficking,
sent ten thousand troops to the border, Canada one point
three billion in border security, and a fentanyls are. Oh,
(19:34):
by the way, Panama is breaking off its relations with
China and the Canal. And you know, you just think
they can one victory after another, and we did in
our Sounds of the Day, the feature of you know,
Donald Trump makes the claim, I've done more in two
weeks that Joe Biden and Barack Obama did in twelve years,
and he has. Then we played the laundry list of
(20:00):
things that he has gotten don and this is before
the whole cave with Mexico and Canada. Caroline love It,
White House spokesperson, just lays out everything this guy's gotten
done in two weeks.
Speaker 12 (20:13):
We are two weeks in and President Trump is already
delivering big wins for the American people.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Let's go through the facts on the border.
Speaker 12 (20:20):
President Trump declared a national emergency, deployed the military, ended
catch and release, and reinstated remain in Mexico and already
illegal crossings are down ninety five percent. We are resuming
construction of the border wall, and Columbia's president is now
offering his own plane for deportation of illegal Columbian immigrants.
(20:42):
On the economy and energy, President Trump unleashed American energy,
declared a national energy emergency, and killed Joe Biden's radical
electric vehicle mandate. Wall Street is booming. AI investments skyrocketed
to five hundred billion dollars, and there's twenty million flowing
into US data centers across our country. President Trump is
(21:04):
restoring law and order. He labeled the drug cartels as
foreign terrorist organizations, and he is deporting criminal illegal aliens.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
And he signed the Lake and Riley Act into.
Speaker 12 (21:14):
Law, draining the swamp. President Trump signed more than forty
five executive orders. DEI has been purged from the government,
and our military and lazy federal workers have been ordered
back to the office. And when it comes to free
speech and transparency, President Trump took twelve times more press
(21:35):
questions than Joe Biden did in a week, reinstated four
hundred and forty silenced journalists to the press room, and
ended government censorship promise has made promises.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Kept and as before.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
His third week begins with the ultimate art of the
deal with Canada and Mexico.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
S h, you bring up Panama. Is this crazy? Not
going to try to get a military operation and take over.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
The Panama No heart of the deal strikes again. It
was never about taking over the Panama Canal. It's about
making Panama do what they agreed to do and remain
neutral in their administration of it, mainly writing China's influence
over the canal. Nobody even knew what China was up
(22:27):
to in the Panama Canal until Donald Trump gets in office.
Four years of Joe Biden, hat a peep nothing nobody
even noticed. It's like all this misspending that comes out daily,
that was all going on. Nobody was talking about. The
media certainly wasn't going to out it. How about the
clip I played earlier of rand Paul drilling the USAID
chairwoman about their funding of the coronavirus. You never even
(22:53):
got to hear that clip till I played it today.
Adama says it will not renew its agreement involving China's
premier foreign investment program. After the Panamanian leaders met with
the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is well, this
whole cabinet is turning out to be historically impressive. Can
(23:16):
I just say something I don't want to break into
like a funny nostrudel journo, But I look at JD.
Vance and there's something really youthful presidential about this guy.
He's impressive. You know, I watched Marco Rubio and he's
presidentially impressive. I know a lot of you agree that
he's perfect for Secretary of State, but there's something presidential.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
You know what else?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Pete Hegseth looks presidential to me, just the way he
sits at a desk with no jacket and his sleeves
rolled up. Back to Vance, he wasn't your first choice, No,
Marco was. This is impressive. The line of succession ahead,
and it's impressive what they're doing. And it's breathtaking what
Donald Trump has got done in two weeks, and every
(24:01):
step of the way, the left in the media has
tried to scare you make it about Look, I cannot
say this enough, and I've said it every day to
the point where you're probably sick of hearing me say it.
Narratives always die and their cause of death is reality.
Twenty four hours ago, the narrative was, what's Donald Trump
(24:23):
recklessly doing? What could possibly be his endgame on this?
This is going to destroy the economy, drive up the
cost of gasoline, home heating, drive up the cost of produce.
Maybe they got off the air and went to the bathroom.
By the time they got out of the stall, Mexico
had caved.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
It.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Probably went and had a long lunch thinking, oh crap. Well,
hopefully you know, China and Canada stick it to us
or we're gonna really look stupid tomorrow. And then Canada caves,
and then before they put their head on the pillow,
Animal caves. I don't know what next, Greenland, but the
(25:09):
all go on the air today and they'll just press
on to usaid and feel stupid by Thursday. Would we say,
day after day after day, Well, if these tariffs go
into effect, you might feel a little pinch on produce
from Mexico, you may feel a little pinch on home
(25:29):
eating oil and shipping fuel and airline fuel. But by
and large, there's not a whole lot coming from there.
To hear parts here and there, but they stand to
lose sixty percent of their economy, and no sooner, just
in case Canada wanted to blink. By early mid afternoon,
(25:54):
the reports of businesses thinking about relocating from Canada to
US for a lot of reasons was back to the
analogy I gave yesterday with the husband and wife team
in Canada that border from terrorism and fentanyl and human
trabu needed to be protected anyway for Canada's sake. Oh
(26:15):
Trudeau is not gonna do nothing, and the election is
until October.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Well, he came down the phone.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
He pledged one point three billion dollars to borders security
and even a ventinylsar. Ten thousand troops in Mexico are
heading to the border to fight off the drug cartels
and help secure the border.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
The Guard of the deals struck again and.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
For the left, they tried to scare the crap out
of you and make him a tyrant out of control.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Just added to his list of two and a half
weeks and growing of things.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
He got done. I don't know about you, but I
haven't gotten anything done in the last two and a
half weeks compared to Donald Trump. And I was talking
about the troll on X I'm so glad you have
John Takhkert, Well so am I? So you get it,
says I mean, you just bend off your backwards to
somehow to support what Donald Trump's doing no matter what. Well,
(27:05):
good luck with that. I just wonder what people like
that are thinking today. I mean, at what point does
it become delusional or a derangement syndrome that you can't see.
(27:25):
But this guy is accomplishing and by the way, and
standing against him, all you're doing is rooting against yourself.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
This is your morning show with Michael del Trono.
Speaker 12 (27:37):
Do you think the twenty twenty eight tickets gonna be JD?
Speaker 8 (27:41):
Vance?
Speaker 4 (27:41):
And he sa JD.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Advance then gabbed.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
That's interesting. You know, we talked about this. There's a
lot for Donald Trump to get done. Donald Trump's second
term really becomes the midterm and then the successful handoff
of trump Ism to the year apparent.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
I think.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Based on the fact that he's the vice president, based
on the fact that he has risen like no other
vice president has to that position, I think we can
all safely put Jade Vance as the heir apparent.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
I still think Vance DeSantis is a real possibility. Vance
Rubio is a real possibility. I agree, Vance Gabbard is
a possibility, and I think she'll get her confirmation today,
which will help with that. Don't forget Vance Huckabee Sanders too.
I still think that's looming, but we'll see. There's time
for that. Right now, we're just keeping up with what
they're getting done. Speaking of Telsea Gabbard, the Senate expected
(28:37):
to vote on her and RFK Junior today. In our
White House, correspondent John Decker's here with the latest. Good morning, John, Hey.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
The Senate Intelligence Committee will vote on the nomination of
Tulsi Gabbert to be the next Director of National Intelligence.
She got a big boost yesterday. That's because Senator Susan Collins,
Republican of Maine, indicated that she is a yes vote
will vote for Tulsi Gabbert to be the next DNI.
She had been seen as a possible no vote was
(29:06):
on the fence. And so now all eyes on some
other senators who have not yet indicated how they will vote.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
On Tulsi Gabbert's nomination. All right, so Red gets the
game ball on this.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Because we were talking off the air and I said, well,
I think Tulsi looks like a closer one even than
RFK Junior. And he said, well, if you watched closely
the one on one questioning with Senator Collins, it looks
like she was pleased. And then we understand there were
some follow up meetings in Senator Collins's office, and now
she has said she feels comfortable confirming that.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
That pretty much paves the way. What about RFK Junior, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:42):
You know, I think all eyes are on one senator
in particular, who could kill the nomination that Senator Cassidy.
He's a senator from Louisiana, a medical doctor by training,
who had real issues with some of the answers that
RFK Junior gave to him during his confirmation hearing that
(30:02):
took place last week, so a lot of focus on him.
He is up for re election as a US Senator
next year. He already is facing a primary challenge, and
the reason being is because of his vote as it
relates to the second impeachment of President Donald Trump. He
voted to impeach Donald Trump to convict him in the
(30:23):
US Senate, so all eyes will be on him, and
that vote also taking place today in the committee that
oversees the Department of Health and Human Services.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
All right, so you cow many administrations now eight?
Speaker 6 (30:37):
Yeah, that's about right. Yes, still place first term?
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Why do I know more about your life than my own? Anywhere?
But I mean you fought.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
I mean what a crazy day yesterday was. I mean
you're watching and again, I mean there's a little bit
of the matrix in the you know, the narrative divide
in America. But as everybody's making their case, what's this
guy doing? What's his endgame that's going to drive up
the cost of living? This is reckless?
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Or even if we throw in Panama, why is he
worried about the canal? Why is he worried about Greenland?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
And yet look at how yesterday panned out alone with
first Mexico blinking and now ten thousand troops coming to
the border, Canada blinking, one point three billion dollars and
a fentanyls are being named, the whole tariff is on hold,
Panama redirecting with China. I mean, it's pretty remarkable, you
know that what he's getting done. Do you think do
(31:31):
you think America is seeing this and getting all this
and what do you make of all this? This is
like nothing we've ever had to cover at this speed anyway,
how much he's getting die.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
I agree with you on the second part. You know,
I can't speak for all Americans, but I agree with
you on the second part of what you just said. Michael.
It's pretty remarkable in terms of all of the things
that Donald Trump has done by executive action during his
first few weeks in office. The tariff that is something
that it can do unilaterally, and the threat of tariffs
(32:03):
something he can and did do unilaterally. And as you
point out, he's put a thirty day pause in those
tariffs on goods coming from Mexico and Canada. We'll see
whether or not they meet the parameters of what Donald
Trump wants to see over the next thirty days. But
the tariffs against China have been implemented, and China has
(32:23):
respected retaliatory tariffs against American goods. So not everything worked
out yesterday, but certainly for those and I think on
Wall Street in particular, very much concerned about a trade war,
they were mollified yesterday by the way things turned out
as it relates to Mexico and.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Canada, Because as we were discussing and then we get
into the weeds and we say, well, you got a
lot of produce coming from Mexico.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
You might feel that you got a lot of.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Crude coming from Canada that's used for you know, what
we use for home heating, what we use for ships
and for airline fuel. You know, you might feel that
a little bit. But all of it was just an
art of the deal tool to get them to the table.
And they came to the table, and so now it's
all on hold. We'll see how long it lasts. Hopefully
long beyond thirty days. All right, appreciate it, John, we'll
(33:12):
talk again tomorrow. You know, we talked earlier about this,
this art of the deal. And I keep bringing up
this meme because I've often wanted to do a book
on memes, because at the end of every year, the
news cycles, they come and go, and in the midst
of all these narratives and all this confusion, there are
(33:33):
memes of like truth that are just out there. This
one is a picture of Donald Trump, and it says
that think, at like a clock going clockwise, Trump wants
a foreign leader to do something. Then at three o'clock
Trump announces tariffs. Then at six o'clock Left claims tariffs
won't work this time. Then at nine o'clock leader caves.
Trump gets what he wants, and that's the cycle. And
I was talking about this academic guy, and he's giving
you this long explanation of how the things you think
(33:56):
are the most irrational and crazy and out of the
blue are his his style and what makes him most brilliant.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
And most productive. And it struck again yesterday. That's for sure.
Speaker 8 (34:06):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
