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

Speaker 3 (00:34):
This is your morning show with Michael Dell charm.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
This is your morning show with Michael del John Chris
Rock filling in today.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
You guys are rocking it. You're rolling it with the calls. Hey, producer, Jeff,
do you want me to hit these calls first?

Speaker 4 (00:51):
Or maybe we should do Rory first and then get
into the calls and keep rocking on rolling.

Speaker 5 (00:54):
What if you're in control this morning, so you tell me,
I'll come audio bartender.

Speaker 6 (00:59):
I want to sure that we serve.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
It all right, put me a good one. Here's right.
I think I think if I do it, I'll start
going off on him. So I'm gonna play him next.
We'll do Rory first, and I have to get disciplined.
We must have disciplined.

Speaker 6 (01:13):
That would be different for this show. But yeah, there is.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
See you got the right guy. Here's what you here's
the problem you got. The show is in your words.
You know, undisciplined needs to be leased, throwing something at harnessed,
last owed.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
And you got a guy who's also waits. So you
have me chilling in for the guy and the show.
So this is a cluster. But I'm just kidding.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
So hold on to your your horses and get ready.
And speaking of which, let's have somebody who can reel
me in and give us some.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Mules.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
Rory O'Neill, our national correspondent on your morning show with
Michael Dell Journal.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Rory, Uh, you know we're all thinking.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
First of all, welcome to the show, and welcome to
another guy who's out of show that's out of control.
Second of all, so we saw for years in the
pandemic and after the pandemic that used car prices. We
all will buy used unless we got the money and
ability to do it. If you do no problem with that,
God bless you. But many of us give them two

(02:17):
years old, three years old, one year old. Sometimes we
got to get them six ten years old because we're
tight and we thought that things were going down. They
were like last year, it seemed in the news set,
but now it's not the case. Tell me what's happening
with used car prices?

Speaker 7 (02:33):
Yeah, you know, we got that data last week, Chris
that showed inflation was up more than expected three percent
year over year. But a big component of that number
comes from the used car, truck and prices that came out,
And just for the last month, used car prices were
up two point two percent in a month. We talked
about three percent inflation over a year. This was two

(02:54):
point two percent in a month. So that's a big
reason that we saw that higher inflation. One of the
big reasons, believe it or not, it's because during the pandemic,
when it seemed everyone was buying a car and demand
was high, the car dealers were selling you cars, they
weren't leasing them, and historically after about three years that

(03:15):
leases up and they become used cars. Well, we didn't
have that three years ago. And it's coming home to
roost because we just don't have that much inventory out there.

Speaker 6 (03:25):
When it comes to used.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Cars, Rory, that is exactly what I did.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
I bought a lead off lease car for you know,
it was two years old, and I bought another one
that was three years old or something of that nature.
You know, twenty six thousand miles one. I had thirty
six thousand miles one hand. And so my cars, they're
both TOI to Highlanders. The money they're worth now is insane, right,
it's you know, and I'm not I am not selling them.

(03:49):
I'm gonna run them till they're they're going to need
to be given, you know, given away to charity, you know,
et cetera. So the price raised increase in a month
is insane. And is there still a massive demand and
a short supply like we saw coming out of the
pandemic with used cars.

Speaker 6 (04:07):
Yeah, it's not as bad.

Speaker 7 (04:09):
So when it comes to used cars, we have about
a forty eight day supply in the marketplace. That's normally
closer to sixty days. Actually, the new car inventory is better.
They've got about a sixty three day supply on the
lot right now. You know, back in the peak of
things in twenty twenty two, it was a twenty six
day supply of cars, so that's really doubled in the

(04:30):
past three years. But look, we're paying through the nose
a new car. New car averages forty eight thousand, six
hundred and forty one dollars.

Speaker 6 (04:39):
No way.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
And look at this from the Wall Street Journal the
other day. The average price of a three year old
used car sold wholesale twenty eight grand in early February,
of forty five percent from twenty twenty to forty eight thousand.

Speaker 6 (04:54):
Yeah, exactly. These are some huge numbers.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Twenty thousand dollars increase for the same car. It's unsustainable.
This is ridiculous, and people get these loans. Let me
tell you something else I saw. This is from bar chart.
They took the auto loan delinquency charts on my Twitter
feed at Chris Crocshow Chrisk Okay, audi delinquency rate is
the highest level in fourteen years.

Speaker 6 (05:14):
We are in trouble, right, and that's one of the
red flags out there.

Speaker 7 (05:18):
Also the fact that a lot of these car loans
these days are not just three or five years, they're
up seven year. Car loans are floating around out there
because people are just looking at the bottom right number
they get on the sheet about what they can afford
every month, right, and now really looking at the bigger
at the bigger picture of what these car loans are
costing them. Plus with that higher inflation overall, it's less

(05:40):
likely that the Fed will lower interest rates to sort
of boost the car market, and it's going to keep
the prices it seems high.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
My humble advice, five years or less on your payment.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
Come up with as much money cash as you can
and pay that thing off, because you don't want to
be owing five to ten grand and the car dies.
That's a horrible condition to be in. Don't do that
to yourself if you can. Rory, thank you for your time.
We'll talk to you, of course later in the hour,
and thank you very much. Thanks Chris, all right, take care.
We'll talk to Rory coming up at fifty minutes after

(06:13):
the hour and we'll be talking to him about well,
look atly, here we go. That's gonna be with GOP
analyst Chris Walker on Vance's speeches and stuff. We're gonna
talk for Ory one more time later on the show
about other stuff. I want to talk about the illegal
immigration crisis, what it's done to us and the effect
that's had on us coming up next. But do we

(06:35):
have time to pop off our callers and react to
that real fast?

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Oh yeah, yeah, we got those, I thought, so you'll
go okay, so here, yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 8 (06:43):
Hey morning, Chris, this is woody and puri or when
you have a cancer, you have to cut deep to
get it all out. And I support Doge to keep cutting.
As far as Michael Steele, he's pathetic. He x R
n c CHA is part of the Unit Party. He
sold this country out a long time ago. He doesn't

(07:05):
care about conservative principles, so we don't care what he
has to say.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
I agree with him about the cancer.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
It is a government within a government, and the executive
branch is every right to look at every single thing.
And by the way, Elon Muster said, ooh, he's an
unelected representive.

Speaker 7 (07:21):
No no, no, no.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
Do you understand that the that the people that were
spending these billions of dollars for the bid administration, they
were unelected people. Do you understand that the people that
Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and even Joe Biden had managing
budgets or even calling budgets were unelected people too that
were hand selected by Barack Obama, by Bill Clinton in

(07:43):
this case, formerly people managing and spending all that money,
like the woman that sent him throwing gold bars off
the Titanic, trying to get rid of twenty billion dollars
to from the EPA that thankfully was clawed back by
our EPA administrator, Lezelden under the direction of Trump. By
the way, leez Elden in charge of the All the
cabinet members are not elected. All the people beneath them

(08:05):
that spend the money and throw the gold bars off
the Titanic under Biden, none of them are elected. Same
thing with Elon Musk. He is appointed by Trump. So
this is not some you know, They're all unelected beneath
the president. So of course, and at one point, I
don't like the talking points. But the one thing I
heard of the weekend time and time again, which is
so true. Do you understand we have to really realize this,

(08:27):
This is what America wanted. It's the only vote we
have nationwide. Can you believe that the only vote? I know,
I'm stating the obvious, I'm captain obvious, but it's the
only it's the only vote that we have nationally together
to select as a body politic or whatever body the
three hundred and twenty seven million people however, any we

(08:48):
are now right and counting. Thank god, we can do that.
And so this is a mandate from the nation. And
it was a clear massive victory. I mean, it wasn't
a massive mass of landslide like Reagan had, but it
was a dang good way. Oh, let's hear from Michelle
in Akron, Ohio.

Speaker 9 (09:05):
And I am in full support of what President Trump
and Elon Musk are doing with DOGE and look forward
to them cutting more fat for more agencies. And I
want to see them look into HUD because the money
is not going where it's supposed to.

Speaker 6 (09:25):
There's a lot of waste there.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
You are so right, Michelle, because just today, speaking of which,
Fox News reporting today as a Friday.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Look at this, Michelle as a Friday.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
One point nine billion as in be as and boy,
one point nine billion has already can you put three weeks, guys,
in three weeks, one point nine billion dollars has been
clawed back from hut housing and urban development.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Can you believe this? And here's the thing, they laugh, Oh,
he's not going to get much money. They laughed. Oh,
he's not going to get five percent of the employees.
That his goal is.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
Trump's goal is five to I think eight percent of
all federal employees has already gotten four points seventy five
in three weeks.

Speaker 6 (10:11):
You can this is freaking amazing.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
This is like the you know, landing on the moon
or whatever.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
This unthought of, unheard of. Trump knew exactly what he
was going to do for probably about six months to
a year. This is running a business. This is amazing.
It's wild, and it's so fast, it's so furious, it's
so powerful. Many of the victories being one of the
courts with this stuff, with the bureaucrats trying to go
to the courts and get them to stop it. And

(10:38):
there's no way the Democrat Party, whether you agree with
them or now are the Democrat Republican. There's no way
the government within the government, these bureaucrats can stop this.
And they're going to keep trying, and that's fine.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
They have a right to do that. The courts have
a right to rule. A lot of these judges.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
They're shopping these judges by the way they're getting They're
not going in DC where all the action is, where
all this is happening. They're going to courts in other
states where they have judges friendly to say, oh oh yeah,
we don't want to.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
Cut this government without government, How do you feel about
these cuts? You can chime in right now. I want
to hear from you. I love hearing from you. Joining
the conversation.

I go out and look for it today it's not there.

Speaker 3 (11:37):

Speaker 5 (11:38):
How people say that here lately they have lost all subscriptions.
Let go of all subscriptions except one paper, and it's
always The Wall Street drunk.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
Really yeah, Because the reason I tell my son this,
the boy child was not twenty one and engaged and
almost graduating college here that I tell him that the
reporters almost every story and there's written by their own
report all over the world.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
The editorials are very good.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
Not all of my group, but many of them, and
they're the resources that they do of research is insane.
So many listeners over the years I have done, ready
to talk, ready for have said, Chris, what story is that?

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Or can you share that?

Speaker 4 (12:13):
And all that kind of stuff from them. So I
just prefer also not all the time I got to
have a chance to do it. But reading the hard copy,
I love it. I love the smell of the newspaper reading.

Speaker 6 (12:23):
People don't understand the great smell of ink.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
Yes, absolute, people look at me weird. I'm reading it
out in public somewhere and I smell They just me
the gen X And I'm telling you, okay. So Top
five stories of the day, Vance calling out Europe and
Europeans arresting people for thought crimes. Thank you, Date Jdvans
for that. Dose cuts killing federal jobs is DEM's panic?

Speaker 4 (12:47):
CDC disease detectors among hundreds fired as Trump administration wraps
ramps up the agency cuts. Sounds of the day. We'll
talk too late, we'll play it later. But right now
I want to tell you this American hockey team crush,
which is Canada. Canada bye bye, yay yay. Too bad
they're doing us but that's okay. Well, well we're fine.

(13:09):
You can keep booing no offense, but we're better if
you keep booing that, we're gonna tear a few more.

Speaker 6 (13:15):
How's that.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
Absolutely okay? Illegals by talk in Spanish. I got a
lot of Spanish practice this week this past week. Absolute
dement they see in Spanish and Espaniola. I have relatives
in Venezuela and I I could not wait to get
to talk to this about this today if I had
the chance. I talked to my relative, my mother in law,

(13:42):
my wife's dad's wife from Venezuela, and I talked about
everything going on politically, and I told her about She
knows this at goosebumps. The best people in this country
are the people that are saving this country are legal,
not illegal, but legal immigrants from Venezuela and Cuba and
in Miami Dade City of Miami Flip read for the

(14:03):
first time at their Trump with the help of DeSantis.
And it's because the Kubanos and the Venezuelans have seen
their countries fall because the socialism far left stuff it
has destroyed their country. And they are the most strident
pro Trump people. The most strident people against the legal
immigration because they know it'll destroy this country. And my
relatives slept on floors and were jobs at Amazon, you know,

(14:25):
you know, start from scratch ups sleeping on the floor
in my my father in law's house because they never
dime or the name. And they are professionals, engineers and lawyers.
And they now are in a house and they're doing great.
They had us over, they made empanadas, We talked Spanish,
and then I talked to the lady at the coffee
at Starbucks at the at the at the Miami International

(14:46):
Airport yesterday and every one of these Venezuelans is so
overjoyed and happy because I tell them you legal and
they're like, yes, is going to save this country. Because
many Americans, second third generation this country, you want to
destroy the constitution, think that our country is.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
Evil and bad.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
They are spoiled, rotten into stand in this country whereas
immigrants come in and they love this country and they
don't want to see happen when it happened to their country.
They are saving this country. Thank you to all our
Cobano and Venezuelan friends.

Speaker 13 (18:40):
I am a Trump support and have been supporting Trump
since he started his political career. And I am excited
about the cuts. I'm excited about the borders being closed.
I'm excited about everything that they're doing and the people
that's I'm not excited about saving money. It's ludicrous.

Speaker 6 (19:02):
H And I don't know what they could be thinking.

Speaker 4 (19:04):
Of the great WRAC and Memphis, Tennessee as an excellent take, sir,
you know what there's a mysterious phantom. Sir, you are
not being obedient because there is a mysterious phantom out there.
There's millions and millions, tens of millions, if one hundreds
million people there. Their heads are exploding. They can't afford

(19:26):
to pay their rent or their mortgage. They can't pay,
they can't afford to fill up their gas tank. They
can't afford to buy a used car because the car
pair blew them in the in the in the you
know what's two times where it used to be, and
they can't buy a car. But your head, sir, you're
just misguided and you're not being obedient. Your head, sir,

(19:46):
is supposed to be exploding at these faceless, nameless bureaucrats
spending billions of dollars of your money, trillions dollars your
money for transgender operas. You know in Ireland, are we
bits of a nip and tuck down there? Letty and
you'll be a lassy. Let's sing about it, uh and

(20:06):
get somebody on the spring.

Speaker 6 (20:08):
Sure in Reguard, I went to it.

Speaker 4 (20:11):
Wait wait wait, we rented a Mustang convertible, brand new one,
you know, Uh, Jordan under the keys unbelievable. Can't the
cars two load to the ground. My wife was like
angry at me the whole week. That freaking thing is
of the base model. They don't you know, they don't
do the get whatever. I look, I didn't go way

(20:32):
fast to the limit.

Speaker 6 (20:33):
But I would.

Speaker 14 (20:38):
In Tennessee we call letting it eat it well. I
let that thing eat too much for a long time,
for a whole week. What was my I had a point.
I don't know what it was, but that's that's that's
okay because it's only radio. This is brain surgery.

Speaker 6 (20:53):
But it's only good.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
But it'll come back to me a second. But I
want to do well.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
We get smart audio before we go to the legal
immigration stuff, the invasion.

Speaker 6 (21:04):
I have one more.

Speaker 5 (21:04):
This is a j R k f Y.

Speaker 15 (21:06):
I oh, cuts are awesome and learn long overdue. And
Trump and Musk are the two for the job. Trump
and Musk are a great team and they're doing a
great job and they're doing exactly what we elected Trump
to do.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
Here again, sir, you're wrong.

Speaker 4 (21:30):
You're not obeying these people that are cutting their blowing
their heads up and yelling ah um. You're supposed to
be angry it's true that in your great state of Arizona,
at KFY, were you listening in Phoenix? It is true
that eleven out of eleven independent voters that voted for
Biden in twenty twenty, that AWL voted for Trump this time.
We're just queried survey by Axio's leftist publication News Publication

(21:54):
and based all eleven out of eleven said we're super happy,
keep up the cuts Trump any line, but sir, you're wrong,
They're wrong. Just look on your just look at as
CNN and MSNBC. You're supposed to be mad, stop disobeying
and got start yelling and screaming for transgender surgeries in Guatemala,

Maybe not?

Speaker 4 (23:15):
Okay, I want you to talk back. Use that talk
back button on your iHeart stream click on the microphone icon. Now,
as far as the illegal immigration effect, this is from
the Daily Signal. Numerous reports show the immigration crisis sapping
the United States economy. I mentioned to you that I
had the just insane goosebump thrill of talking in Spanish

(23:38):
to my in laws from Venezuela.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
They speaks English too.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
The whole family came because we want to make sure
my elderly father in law and my olderly mother in
law she's from Venezuela, will have a wonderful rest of
their lives. She's got some dimension now and stuff. And
so we're doing our part, my wife and I from Afar,
visiting and working with them. But we spoke about politics
so much, and you will never find a more conservative
group of people than our Venezuelan friends.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
And I'm gonna say something else.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
My my Sunday school group and a friend from he
and his wife from Peru came here about fifteen twenty
years ago.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
Legally, I never taught politics.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
To him because when I go to church and I worship,
it's not about politics, but it comes up. And sure,
not out of ten of us are you know, Republican
conservative type Trump supporters, shocker. But I didn't bring it
up because I love him and I want it's about
our relationship. And one day he goes, grace Grace Trump
is the only way.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
I was like, yes, yes, I was like, oh my gosh,
I was, and I told him was like, yeah.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
So he literally is a mechanic and he works in
the Hispanic economy, you know, and which means, you know,
it's a lower price point. You know, people have less money.
And he's proselytizing in a wonderful sweet way. And when
he tells me these conversations, and the guy says, what do.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
You mean you're voting?

Speaker 4 (24:57):
You're not voting for Kamala And he goes and he
he tells me what he says and the way he
says them, like, dude, you're better than I am. I'm
like you are like a disciple preaching preach, you know,
to these folks. So the legal immigrants are the most
virulent anti illegal immigrant, But the effects, what's it doing?

(25:21):
Open the Books Investigation dhs I was seeing that HHS
Health and Human Services Refugee Settlement spend twenty three billion
dollars on grants benefiting illegal immigrants from twenty twenty to
twenty twenty four.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
To twenty three billion of your money.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
Grants included everything from help with accessing Medicaid, your health care,
you're paying for free building credit for illegals that have
no business being here, Helping with home and all the
loans and cash assistance. Do you get cash assistants? Do
you get help with all the loans? Do you get
help with your home and credit card?

Speaker 3 (25:49):
Would you like that? No, you're doing it. You go
work that second or third job because those illegals need
that free stuff. You're going to pay for it. And
if you don't like it, they'll call you possibly a racist,
a hater, or zion Zionist.

Speaker 4 (26:02):
They'll call you that too, But what's the other one.
What's the word I'm thinking. No, I'm not jingoist.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
Oh once we're afraid of other people they call you xenophone. Yeah,
you're a xenophil. Okay, thank you.

Speaker 10 (26:17):
This is your morning show with Michael del I absolutely.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
Love that, you know.

Speaker 4 (26:25):
Uh, I mean, look, Michael's a dear friend and he
has been for decades. And uh, you know, look, we're
all the sound of the microphone, were all well crazy,
whether we admit it or not, we are meaning ady ah,
I'm teenth degree. Would need to be extremely medicated and
strapped down to a desk. If not, we are on radio.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
You know what.

Speaker 5 (26:45):
The theme of the show is, right, we're all in
this together, us three us, three girls.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Okay, just ladies exactly.

Speaker 6 (26:56):
So you're in this thing to get world together. What
we got Rory to Rory's in on it now.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
Yes, I think he wants no part of this, but
he's being forced. So here he is.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
Rory O'Neil, our national correspondent about President's Day.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
Hello's or are you ready to join it?

Speaker 4 (27:13):
The Yes, that's a good read. That's a good read.
Though on that yep, exactly. You need to separate yourself.
I would recommend a ten second pause between when we
speak and when you speak.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
So it's like it's like, no, this is totally separated.
Maybe have a sound effect.

Speaker 6 (27:29):
There is a graphic running underneath me right now.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Yes, not with the guys.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
Okay, So I want to add today's presidenc DA tell
me how did it come about, and anything else you
might want to tell us about this great day of
today President's Day.

Speaker 7 (27:45):
Yeah, technically it's still Washington's birthday, you know. It's that's
how the federal government still recognize it. It as Washington's birthday,
not this celebration of all the presidents. But it really
all began a year after George Washington died seventeen ninety nine.
In eighteen hundred, they started to do this perennial day
of remembrance. But then there was this campaign to make

(28:08):
it a holiday, and that started in the eighteen seventies,
signed into law by Ruther Rutherford B. Hayes in eighteen
seventy nine. Flash forward to the nineteen sixties and seventies.
They wanted to start to put these holidays together and
make up these three day weekends. So we have the
uniform Monday Holiday Act, actually Richard Nixon signed into law,

(28:31):
and it essentially makes all these three day weekends from
President's Day to Columbus Day, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, although
they did move Veterans Day back. It makes all these
holidays three day weekends for the purpose of economic.

Speaker 6 (28:46):
Development.

Speaker 4 (28:47):
Here's a question for it that you mayor and I have,
But what's their actual amount of that mount But the
percentage roughly or people that are off today versus people
like us that are working.

Speaker 7 (28:58):
Yeah, I'd say it's a dwindle perge. I don't have
an exact number. But there's no mail today, Well, well
there's a great example. There's no US Postal Service mail,
but there's probably going to be a UBS guy or
gal and someone from FedEx also working today.

Speaker 6 (29:14):
But the banks, most of your banks are closed.

Speaker 7 (29:16):
You're going to see that there is no activity on
Wall Street today, and federal offices of course are closed.

Speaker 6 (29:22):
But you know, some states, something's very state by state.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
Rory appreciates you, sir, and it's been a blast, and
thank you for being willing to come on and quote
unquote show your face while we're on. This is quite
quite appreciative. I just avow any knowledge of this unless
she was a reference. Please, sir, I'm a resume. I
appreciate you this, that's appreciate you, my friend.

Speaker 10 (29:48):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
