Speaker 3 (00:26):
Three starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Because we're in the State Building.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell John.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Look, good morning. I am Michael del Joorno. This is
your morning show. Seven minutes after the hour, And let's
look at some of the headlines. Fox Doge says it
found nearly untraceable budget line item where four point seven
trillion dollars in payments have made but they can't figure
out to wear. Daily Mail discovers millions of instances in
social security fraud associated press top Russian and US officials
(01:07):
to discuss ending the Ukraine War, but no Ukrainian officials
at the table with them. And I finally saw that
video of the Delta Airlines flight flipping upside down in Toronto,
not at all what I was picturing. More explanation is
going to be necessary. But eighteen people injured, no deaths,
thank god. Those are the top stories waking up this morning.
(01:31):
You know yesterday, I think, no matter what the headlines,
we know Trump derangement is real. There is such a
thing now as elon musk de arrangement to go along
with it. I mean, that's the only thing I can
think of when I think of a a nineteen nineties,
(01:54):
I think recording artists giving up her tesla and donating it.
I mean, that's Musk derangement, Trump derangement. I don't know
that America didn't have Obama derangement syndrome. Quite frankly, we
have become politically dysfunctional, and that's why it doesn't matter
what Dosh finds. You ought to be excited about the
(02:15):
waste being identified and stopped, but we can't be. That's
why you have a white female governor about to fire
a black mayor. That's why you have Sean Hannity promising
now to buy a tesla. I mean, we just go
in these pendulums and waves and it becomes our job
(02:36):
to just kind of keep our senses. We want to
understand what's happening, We want to be informed, we want
to connect the dots, but we don't want to be
sucked into any of the derangement. So let's do that
with another topic. Yesterday, I think probably the biggest argument
going on in America was should European leaders be involved
in this decision process in ending the war between Russia
(02:59):
and Ukraine? And after all, they're going to have to
live with whatever parameters are set, and that makes the
assumption that they're not ever going to be at the table.
It's just not at the table maybe right now, but
they eventually will be. Well, now you have the US
talking with Russia alone, without even Ukraine at the table.
But again the assumption is maybe if the US is
(03:21):
talking to Russia today, they may talk to Ukraine tomorrow.
Then they come to the table together, then they bring
the Europeans to the table. I mean, are we making
permanent position decisions based on a process that we haven't
gotten through yet? That's really the question of the hour.
So Trump negotiating directly with Russia and now today without
(03:44):
even Ukraine at the table, why should they be included
or is this a process? Let's talk to Lieutenant Colonel
James Karafana Girett Carafano. He presides over the finest military
and foreign policy minds at the largest thing tank in
the world. Good morning, Lieutenant colonel. Help us understand this.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
No, no, I think you're exactly right. I mean, if
you listen to the people who are so hyper critical,
it's literally people that just don't like Trump, right, I mean,
and that's their baseline for analysis. Some other guys said, well,
Trump has just allowed the Russians, you know, free reign.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I mean, all he's doing is taking a meeting.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
So it is, it is all kind of non sensical
when you put everybody at the table and everybody has
completely different ideas and what to say and do, particularly
people that don't all have an equitable stake in this,
and this is I think really really important. So the
Netherlands is sitting at the table on equal footing with
(04:49):
the US and the Ukrainians and the Russians, and they're like, well,
I have an opinion, well, like, really, who cares, dude.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
So.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
I think this is the right way to negotiate with
the Russians. As for somebody who's actually, you know, studied
the Russians for like fifty years. Lavrov, first of all,
is a sock puppet, a drunken sock puppet. By the way,
when they send Lavrov out, it's he's just he's just blahbling.
(05:21):
But Putin wants to say, so they're gonna meet, he
will blah blah and make all kinds of irrational claims
and everything else.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
And if the blah does it make sense, Donald Trump
picks up the phone and calls Putin straights it all out.
Then you move on to the other piece, the Ukrainian piece.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Exactly right right, and then and then they'll talk to
the Ukrainians, which I look, I mean, we should, we
should stop pretending and that, but we haven't been talking
to the Ukrainians, and that Trump and Zolenski are not
actually already aligned on this, because they are. So it's
all just it's one of these things where, you know,
rather than watching all twelve episodes of the Netflikation.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Go with this, go with skip eleven.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Skip eleven episodes, right, spend time with your kids and
then just you know, watched episode twelve and figure out
and see here how's it ends. Don't don't be like
obsessed with watching how they're making the sausage.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
So let me get to the nut of it, which
is how do I do this without all Right, there
is somebody that comes on the show regularly. And then
I walked through what we just walked through, and you know,
and I said, you know, obviously, you know, the US
is the middleman, and so they're gonna talk to Russia,
then they're gonna talk to Ukraine, then they're gonna get
europe involvement, and then somebody's got to negotiate a piece.
(06:37):
Well why are we the middleman? Well, because no one
else has tried to be the middle man, and the
war has just been going on and on. Somebody's got
to do it. Somebody's got to leave peace. I mean
other people. You know, other people have tried.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
And the courses one of the leaf holding make the
French called, put the Germans called, and.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Nobody thought that was the end of the world. As
we know, lots of people have tried to deal directly.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
They've all failed, but it's okay for them to do it,
not for the US, which is kind of laughable. So
the US is the most powerful country on the planet
right now. They have the most popular leader in the
world right now. They have a leader that people fear
and respect, and maybe it's better that they fear him
and not respect him.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
And so yeah, and the.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
President has the most powerful man in the world today
has said I want this word to end because any
instance Ukrainians should not have to die, because in the end,
it's all going to come out in the same place.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
So that's why Donald Trump is doing this. Plus, look,
Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Wants a Europe that is secure and peaceful and prosperous.
It's good for the US. And the easiest way to
ensure that that happens is to just make the war stop.
And I think I think Trump's goals who are very simple,
just make the fighting stop. And here people say, oh,
there's only one metric here, which is if you give
(07:59):
Vladimir Putin something at the negotiating table that he doesn't
hold on the battlefield, it's a win for Putin.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
If you don't, it's a win for everybody else. Just
set simple. James Carrofinald Lieutenant colonel joining us. We're talking
about the Trump administration and negotiators working directly with Russia
to bring it under this warrior. This is not a correction,
it's just an expansion of what you were talking about.
I really think and I you know, I think I
(08:29):
have a pretty good eye for this. Donald Trump does
seem moved by the senseless death. I think it is.
It is a huge priority. And by the way he
talked about eighteen nineteen year old Russians and Ukrainians who
are caught in the middle and dying in the battlefield
by the tens of thousands in a given week. I
(08:51):
really think that is what's moving. But let's talk. Let's
do the tough part now. I think Vladimir Putin wants
this over as much as Ukraine. I think he needs
a way to be shown the exit and save a
little face. But for those that are concerned about Europe
and how it will look once this is over, what
are the dos and don'ts and things to avoid? What
(09:13):
do we want to negotiate that is well, the end
of the war and a secure platform for Europe to
live in the future.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Yeah, Well, first of all, you never give the Russian
something for nothing, because if you give them something for nothing,
then they think they you're an idiot or they have
power on you, and they just want more. So the
answer is I deal with the Russians is to give
them nothing, absolutely nothing.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Don't give them anything. That's the best deal tooth. What
might they be asking for.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
They want to want a neutral Ukraine, they want limits
to the Ukrainian military, they want guarantees that Ukraine won't
be a NATO keep all the territory that they have,
but they're going to want the Ukrainians to excuse me,
give back all the Russian territory. So that's the kind
of stuff that the Russians. They will always come in
with maximum let's bad demands. It doesn't matter how weak
their physician is, it doesn't matter how weak and pay
(10:05):
that they have no cards to play. They will start
out by asking for the world. That's what That's what
Russians do, and that's what Putin will do. And the
short answers don't give them any because in the end.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
The Russians are realists. If they know that there's.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Nothing to be gained and you offer them a deal
with nothing, why would they take that you pointed out correctly.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Excuse me.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
The Russians are at the point of strategic exhaustion, as
are the Ukrainians, so both sides need to break. Now Putin,
why would Putin take a deal where he gets nothing
because he goes, well, I'll come back another day because
you know, the Europeans are effectless, they'll forget about it.
The Americans will get distracted, they'll go away, and then
(10:47):
I'll clean it up later. Which you know, if he
wants to believe that, I don't think that's what's gonna happen.
But if he wants to believe that, fine. The important
thing is that the killing, the killing stops. It's just
that simple. It's gonna be the five minutes. It won't
be done in five minutes. When Trump said I'm the.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
War in a day, he was right.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
If everybody, just if everybody just took the deal, which
is the deal that will wind up when we've done
arguing over it, it will we be.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Over That's what I want to discuss timeline. I thought
it would be. It would really be breathtaking if Donald
Trump could have gotten everything done in Canada, Mexico, Panama,
then move on to ending this war, not to mention
everything Doze's finding. That would leave just the tax cuts
(11:33):
and making them permanent, and this guy would have achieved
his entire administration in thirty days. But in terms of
ending this war, the difference between what it's inevitably going
to end up being and how long it takes everybody
in a face saving way to get there. What do
you see as a timeline for this.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Well, look, the Russians don't need a safe space because
the Russians will just tell everybody that they won and
it doesn't matter what the outcome is. So this notion
that somehow you have to give the Russians something they're
not embarrassed, you have to do that. Poop will figure
out how to make this look like he one. So
I don't worry about Putin if I were the guy,
(12:11):
which I'm not. The Putin's last best hope is to
drag this out until June, hope that the relations between
Trump and the Ukrainians and the Europeans sour and go south,
and that they and they all just squabble at the
(12:33):
NATO summit.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
And that's not likely. That's a media creation today, but
not likely, right. I don't think that's going to happen.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
But if I were Putin and I was desperate to
make one last chance to try, that's what I was
hold out for.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
But I think it's a I think that's not going
to happen.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
All this bomb bass, you're here from Europeans, like, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Oh my god, this is under the world bands.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
He's a terrible person.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
What happened when they all went to Paris for their
emergency meeting after the band's speech, they basically all agreed
in Paris to.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Do exactly what Trump wants.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
So come on, guys, you know, I Trump's I think
Trump's got all the guards, I really do, and the
Russians but they know that.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
And the bottom line is this is a process, and
everybody is hyper focused on a concluding position in an
opening action of a process. That's the biggest thing you're
getting played by.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Trump quoted Napoleon the other day and everybody went apple
plat type. But to quote Napoleon, the enemy gets a vote, right,
So in the end, Plutin has to decide when the
fighting stops, and until somebody puts a bullet in his head,
only only Putin can do that. So anybody wants to
(13:52):
make assumptions or it's like, well, the enemy gets the vote,
Putin gets the vote here, and he might vote stupid.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And you know what, I just realized, all these years
I've been quoting James Carafano is saying, the enemy gets
to say it was Napoleon all along, we don't.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
I don't know if it was Napoleon. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I always I always remind everybody that you're saying. But
I'm just douber Mike, what do I know? By the way,
I took a curb with him in the car. He's
still not over it. Well, did that affect your rating
of me as an uber driver? What I had to
take a curb? You were worried about my car? By
the way, you gotta love a lieutenant curtle, he says,
this place, let's go.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
No, Can I just say this to your audience. I
will absolutely guarantee your audience that you are a better
radio host than you are.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Don't give my wife any animal against me. I happen
to think I am called an aggressive driver.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
But I I.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano, have a great week, get better.
I have COVID I don't know what you have, but
get better. We'll talk again next week.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
It's Your Morning Show with Michael Delchano.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Israel set to receive six more hostages held by HAMAS
on Saturday.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Sources told NBC News that in addition to these six hostages,
HAMAS is expected to turn over the bodies of multiple
hostages on Thursday. Of the thirty three people set to
be released in the first phase of the ceasefire deal,
six living hostages and eight dead ones remain in the
hands of Hamas. Every previous release of Israeli hostages has
(15:32):
been accompanied by the release of dozens of Palestinians detained
in Israeli prisons.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I'm Brian Schuck. Democrats are set to lead a nationwide
protest this week against TESLA dealerships. Now Republicans are saying
and support of Doge well by Tesla's the pensulums and
how they swing. And now New York Governor Kathy Hochel
talking about the possibility of removing New York City Mayor
Eric Adams, a white governor is going to fire up
(16:00):
black mayor because he's talking to Republicans about removing criminals
from harming citizens. I think we've become politically dysfunctional.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
Hey, this is Lee Murphy in Cottontown, Tennessee. My morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael O'Dell jorno.
Speaker 1 (16:27):

of your morning routine, but better late than never. Enjoy
the podcast.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Millions of Americans are getting ready for fridge of temperatures,
some of us getting snowed, some of us getting on
tower rooms. I notice you don't want me to come
down and stay with you. But if I get snowed in, no,
Red's coming down. You have to stay because you got
the COVID, A little bit of COVID. What are you
still afraid of that? I want to ask on for
crying out loud social dist.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
I'm the designated survivor of the show.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Well, that's true. It is interesting. You know we can't
even agree on waste, and think of what we used
to call waste. You know, I used to flush it.
Now you're staring over the bowl and depending on who's
wanting to hit the flush half of americacies it is, well, yeah,
(17:33):
you want to stop doing that.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I used to always say, we don't answer the ultimate
questions because we don't even ask the questions. The ultimate
question is what is the proper size and role of government?
And what is the role and responsibility of the self governed.
(17:59):
That's what's never to discussed, never asked, or ever answered
any longer. You know, the government doesn't have any money,
doesn't make money. It's using your money, and it should
be accountable. And we played a montage earlier in our
Sounds of the Day. You've got by the way, I'm
still taken by Joe Biden? Are we sure that was
(18:19):
really Joe Biden the last four years? Well, there's because
that clip of Joe Biden eight years ago that I
played that doesn't even like the same face. I mean,
I understand old and the effects of cognitive impairment, but
I mean that doesn't even like the same fase. How
the guy's face. Oh wait, what was that says? Is
that a joke? Is that Joe? Oh? No, I was
(18:42):
being serious. I didn't even in the same phase. But anyway,
you got Joe Biden, you got Barack Obama, you've got
Bill Clinton, all saying exactly what we're doing right now.
And I guess when they said it it was great.
Now that Trump and Musk are doing it, it's evil. Meanwhile,
we're both looking down at waste in the bowl and
(19:03):
nobody knows whether it's waste or shinola. And so I
was talking earlier. Clearly we have entered the age on
this February eighteenth where Musk derangement syndrome is as real
as Trump derangement syndrome. And by the way, that's nothing new.
I actually think we were guilty of Obama derangement syndrome.
(19:27):
Done a lot of things bad and a lot of
things wrong, but there was a derangement syndrome even if
he said something that was right and made sense, and
I played a couple of clips of those today. At
the time, we didn't receive it because maybe we were
in Obama derangement syndrome. I don't know. America's political relationship
is now dysfunctional, it is incapable. So that's one of
(19:53):
the realities we're living in Now, how does that play out? Well,
Dose identified nearly an under traceable code linking payments to
the US Treasury to a budget line item that is untraceable,
and four point six trillion dollars in payments have flowed
through it and we still can't identify. To wear what American,
(20:15):
whether you're a Democrat or Republican, wouldn't want to find
out where four point seven trillion dollars went. I mean,
I know if I was three point six trillion dollars
in debt and somebody found four point seven trillion in
payments going through something we can't even identify, I'd want
to get to the bottom of that. Elon Musk shared
(20:36):
staggering data showing there are millions of debt Americans still
eligible for Social Security payments. Now, well, you need to
get to the bottom of there is are they still
on the roll? Or are they on the roll and
payments are still flowing? See that's the safeguards that are
in place. Right now, you have auditors. Some can see
(20:58):
the Social Security account and then a completely different one
sees the payment flow. So somebody's got to check both. Now,
all of a sudden, under must arrangement syndrome. These guys
who try to get access to our tax dollar don't
your tax dollars. They're trying to protect from fraud. But
(21:28):
this is now redside something off the air that needs
to be said on the air. I do think Elon
Musk needs to head Doze Doze find these things and
make their recommendations. What he doesn't need to be doing
is posting on AX. That's now you are fueling the derangement,
(21:51):
and that is an improper use of what you're heading up. Now.
I don't know, I'm guessing, and all I can do
is guess that they're trying to get this information to
the American people because they don't trust the middleman, the media,
and rightly so. But you can have a prime time
(22:13):
joint news conference when you have your concluding revelations and recommendations.
As I've said a million times, you could both of
you could go on instead of with Sean Hannity on
Fox that no one's watching, go on Joe Rogan where
sixty million people will go listen. But you don't make POSTSNX.
(22:38):
But this is where we're at. So the bottom line
is in a nation and we learned this from our
journey of discovery today, which is COVID five years later.
In a nation we are completely divided and it is
us versus them, and it is conflicting two different realities.
We're living in a matrix and we knew that. And
(23:00):
now Trump derangement syndrome also exists with Musk derangement syndrome,
and that makes reality really hard to be functional. I mean,
that's the bottom line. We have been a disfunctional government
and political with the two party system in a dysfunction,
(23:24):
but now we're becoming beyond dysfunctional to unfunctional, and it's
really frustrating. So four points seven million has flown into
an untraceable account. We have literally millions of instances of
social security fraud. You would think America would want to
(23:44):
get to the bottom of that, but now the Republicans
are doing it not so much. Finally saw video of
that plane. It is nothing like what I pictured. So
I got reports a Delta commuter flight from Minneapolis Toronto
ends up on its head instead of its wheels on
a runway in Toronto seventy mile an hour winds. So
here's what I'm picturing. A plane coming in sideways as
(24:07):
I've often seen it do. Now. I don't know why
you would try to land in seventy mile an hour winds,
but I've seen them do this. And then at the
last minute you straighten out because you got to play
the drift. And then I thought when you went to
straight now a gust came and you flipped. Not at all.
This plane is coming down straight and steady, came down
fast and hard lands on its wheels, and then all
(24:29):
of a sudden just bounces and flips. Fireball comes to
a stop and everybody casually gets off. I mean, I'm
in awe of these Canadians. They just crash landed. They
ended up on their head. Can you masually they were
upside down on doing their seatbelts and think you start
coming out the door taking selfies. They took a couple
(24:51):
of selfies, gathering up their bags just tofted themselves off.
I mean, wow, oh cool. Come I'd looked like a
cartoon coming. You just saw the shape of my body
on the side of the fuselage. I mean I was
just like, I just cried if this happened, bye bye.
(25:16):
And then he just come out and like the one
guy looked like he was just put his bag around
his arm, just gathering and said he looked like he
was heading to the terminal. That has to be adrenaline
and shock, don't you think, Well, I've been through that. Yeah, yeah,
I got a bad car accident. Until I want to
use my phone. I didn't know what a phone was.
That's what I realized. The coach put me in the game.
I'm okay, I'm okay. Uh, what else do we have? Well,
(25:41):
we just had a great conversation with James Carafano. This
is the problem in America today. Everybody gets an instant, firm,
immovable position before they have any information. I mean, I
always go back to this example during the Olympics, and
this is now what five years ago, and we had
(26:03):
a gymnast who decided to withdraw from the competition. She
had twisties, which my brother thought had something to do
with the twisty disties from ice skating. No, the twisties
means when she's in mid air, she gets disoriented. That's
a big problem. When you're twelve feet off the ground
at full speed doing flips, you could land on your
(26:23):
head and be dead. So someone biles withdraws from the competition.
It's a real condition. Number one, she could be very
dangerously hurt. Number two, she can't compete and help her country.
So she does the right thing, goes with draws. But
back in America, immediately everybody had a position. It was
(26:45):
either this woman, this woman has disgraced her parents, her country,
her teammates, and there were others that you know, she's
a champion of mental illness. No, she had a physical condition.
And to this day everybody has that immovable position. So
(27:07):
what did we find. Well, there's a process to ending
this war with Russia and Ukraine, and so the Americans
are first talking to the Russians, and they're going to
talk to the Ukrainians, and they're gonna talk to the
Europeans and they're going to negotiate it, and then the
war is going to be over. An eighteen nineteen year
old kids stopped dying. But everybody's got a firm and
movable position. Why you are you graine at the table today?
(27:29):
If I wrong, get a call what eight hundred? If
I told you do to two? Am I wrong? Everyone's
ready to play And it's a process. James carafouanal with
the quote of the day. It's like a it's like
a twelve episode season. You want to know and just
go to go to the episode twelve and shut up,
stop stop overreacting to episode one and two and three,
(27:52):
give it time or a Senator Kennedy said, I think
you've gotten four exits past normal. That's kind of a
we're dealing with today. But what we're dealing with is
nothing compared to what we're capable of dealing with because
we're so divided and dysfunctional. I hope that's not the
case for the UM Morning Show audience. Alright. I hadn't
had a simple top five story the day All Morning
(28:14):
Law because Jeffrey has this running late. Has he apologized
for Yes, you've've been very worthy today. I apologize. The
top official at Social Security has gone. Here's why.
Speaker 9 (28:25):
Michelle King resigned after refusing a request from DOGE to
access sensitive government records at the agency. The information reportedly
dealt with Americans bank info, social security numbers, marital status,
and date of birth. President Trump has appointed leland A. Dudek,
a manager in charge of Social Securities Anti Fraud Office,
as acting Commissioner.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
By Mark Mayfield, Democrats are heading to their local Tesla
dealers to protest.
Speaker 10 (28:49):
The organizing group is called Indivisible and has thirteen hundred chapters.
Its goal is to bring attention to DOZE Executive Elon
Musk and President Trump's efforts to gut federal agencies like
the Department of Education. Indivisible co founder Ezra Levin said,
I can't think of something that poll's worse, and the
richest man in the world is coming after your Social
Security check or your meals on wheels. You're start I'm
(29:11):
Lisa Taylor.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
It's what are you doing for the first time a
New York governor, white woman talking about the possibility of
removing a New York City mayor, a black mayor, and
why you ask?
Speaker 8 (29:24):
In a statement Monday night, Hokle says she's asked key
leaders to meet with her Tuesday quote for a conversation
about the path forward with the goal of ensuring stability
for the City of New York. Hockel noted that no
governor has ever removed a mayor in state history, despite
governor's having the power to do so. She also called
reports of the past two weeks seemingly referring to the
(29:47):
pending dismissal of Adam's federal charges and has changed an
approach on immigration enforcement. Quote troubling and cannot be ignored.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
Removing criminals from this reads with citizens in harm's way unforgivable.
We must remove him. Meanwhile, Pope Francis is said to
remain in the hospital. This is a nasty bug he's got.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
Once, according to the Vatican, which said the Pope will
remain in the hospital for as long as needed. In
a statement, the Vatican said test results have shown a
polymcrobial infection that has led to further changes in the
Pope's therapy. Molly Hunter in London says in a new biography,
the pope hints that, unlike his predecessor, Pope Benedict, he
(30:29):
has no plans stepping down.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
The reality is quite simply that I'm old. The Church
is governed using the head and the heart, not the legs,
you said.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
The eighty eight year old was admitted to the hospital
on Friday after dealing with a respiratory infection for over
a week. I'm Michael Kassner.

Jimmy Page is sharing his response to fans' reactions to
the Becoming led Zeppelin movie.
Speaker 10 (30:51):
Why I'm going to give you.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
I'm going to give him that.
Speaker 9 (31:05):
The guitarist and film's producer thanked fans for their incredible
responses and the feedback is just humbling and inspiring. He
also thanked fans for their enthusiasm and shared the movie
trailer on Instagram for those who haven't seen it yet.
Becoming led Zeppelin premiered earlier this month and has earned
over six million dollars at the box office worldwide. Page
is the only led Zeppelin member who has publicly commented
(31:28):
on the film since its release.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I'm Mark Neefield. Attention on all stupid governors who thought
they did their citizens of favor by not approving casinos
while they approved gaming from the living room couch. Well,
husband's gonna sit right next to their wives? Is they're
about to lose their home without the wife knowing it?
How do I know this? Internet searches for gambling addiction
(31:51):
are up an experts day, sports betting is to blame.
Speaker 7 (31:55):
The Journal of the American Medical Association set in a
recent report, did if gamble addiction gets out of control,
it could develop into serious mental health disorders and other problems.
Searches for gambling addiction help in twenty twenty two, increase
twenty two percent, then jump twenty five percent in twenty
twenty three. In the first half of twenty twenty four,
ticked up to thirty one percent. States showing the highest
(32:17):
number of searches are Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. A Supreme
Court ruling in twenty eighteen legalized state sponsored sports gambling
throughout most of the US.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
I'm Tammy triheo. Don't blame me. I told you to
take the Eagles. This is your morning show with Michael
del Chrono. At least eighteen people are injured, but no
depths in adulta flight from Minneapolis to Toronto that landed
on its top rather than its wheels. The US holding
talks with Rush over the weekend over the ending of
(32:48):
the war in Ukraine and Ukrainie ain't even at the
table today anyway, and top officials at the Social Security
Administration has stepped down Frigid temperatures even some snow going
to impact millions across the and the Pope remains hospitalized.
With the very latest time that we turned to Rory O'Neal.
Good morning, Rory, hey there, Michael, good morning there. You
(33:09):
wo condition of the Pope. This is a nasty bug
he's got. He's got four and one.
Speaker 11 (33:14):
It does seem to be this mess of this polymicrobial
respiratory tract infection at some combination of virus, bacteria, fungus, parasites,
whatever it may be. They're on their third different course
of treatment to try to get the Pope back up
on his feet. But look, he's eighty eight years old
and an illness like this is something very serious.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Yeah, you know, my mom battled cancer two bouts long throat,
lost her voice box. I remember I was talking to
her cancer surgeon and I said, realistically, with this successful surgery,
how long can I expect to have my mom? And
she gave me the year amount and then she said,
you know, your mom's probably not going to die from
the reoccurrence of this cancer. She's going to die of infection.
(33:58):
Infections serious business. And when you're eighty eight years old,
and then in this case, viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitical,
I mean, my gosh, that is a nasty bug. It
is a lot.
Speaker 11 (34:10):
And you know, the Pope has had a series of
health issues. As we said, eighty eight years old. He's
got knee problems. He had colon surgery a couple of
years ago, so to get this, you know, it's it's
a concern, all right.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Roy, appreciate the update.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
We're all in this together.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Three starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Because we're in the State Building.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell John.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Look, good morning. I am Michael del Joorno. This is
your morning show. Seven minutes after the hour, And let's
look at some of the headlines. Fox Doge says it
found nearly untraceable budget line item where four point seven
trillion dollars in payments have made but they can't figure
out to wear. Daily Mail discovers millions of instances in
social security fraud associated press top Russian and US officials
(01:07):
to discuss ending the Ukraine War, but no Ukrainian officials
at the table with them. And I finally saw that
video of the Delta Airlines flight flipping upside down in Toronto,
not at all what I was picturing. More explanation is
going to be necessary. But eighteen people injured, no deaths,
thank god. Those are the top stories waking up this morning.
(01:31):
You know yesterday, I think, no matter what the headlines,
we know Trump derangement is real. There is such a
thing now as elon musk de arrangement to go along
with it. I mean, that's the only thing I can
think of when I think of a a nineteen nineties,
(01:54):
I think recording artists giving up her tesla and donating it.
I mean, that's Musk derangement, Trump derangement. I don't know
that America didn't have Obama derangement syndrome. Quite frankly, we
have become politically dysfunctional, and that's why it doesn't matter
what Dosh finds. You ought to be excited about the
(02:15):
waste being identified and stopped, but we can't be. That's
why you have a white female governor about to fire
a black mayor. That's why you have Sean Hannity promising
now to buy a tesla. I mean, we just go
in these pendulums and waves and it becomes our job
(02:36):
to just kind of keep our senses. We want to
understand what's happening, We want to be informed, we want
to connect the dots, but we don't want to be
sucked into any of the derangement. So let's do that
with another topic. Yesterday, I think probably the biggest argument
going on in America was should European leaders be involved
in this decision process in ending the war between Russia
(02:59):
and Ukraine? And after all, they're going to have to
live with whatever parameters are set, and that makes the
assumption that they're not ever going to be at the table.
It's just not at the table maybe right now, but
they eventually will be. Well, now you have the US
talking with Russia alone, without even Ukraine at the table.
But again the assumption is maybe if the US is
(03:21):
talking to Russia today, they may talk to Ukraine tomorrow.
Then they come to the table together, then they bring
the Europeans to the table. I mean, are we making
permanent position decisions based on a process that we haven't
gotten through yet? That's really the question of the hour.
So Trump negotiating directly with Russia and now today without
(03:44):
even Ukraine at the table, why should they be included
or is this a process? Let's talk to Lieutenant Colonel
James Karafana Girett Carafano. He presides over the finest military
and foreign policy minds at the largest thing tank in
the world. Good morning, Lieutenant colonel. Help us understand this.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
No, no, I think you're exactly right. I mean, if
you listen to the people who are so hyper critical,
it's literally people that just don't like Trump, right, I mean,
and that's their baseline for analysis. Some other guys said, well,
Trump has just allowed the Russians, you know, free reign.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I mean, all he's doing is taking a meeting.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
So it is, it is all kind of non sensical
when you put everybody at the table and everybody has
completely different ideas and what to say and do, particularly
people that don't all have an equitable stake in this,
and this is I think really really important. So the
Netherlands is sitting at the table on equal footing with
(04:49):
the US and the Ukrainians and the Russians, and they're like, well,
I have an opinion, well, like, really, who cares, dude.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
So.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
I think this is the right way to negotiate with
the Russians. As for somebody who's actually, you know, studied
the Russians for like fifty years. Lavrov, first of all,
is a sock puppet, a drunken sock puppet. By the way,
when they send Lavrov out, it's he's just he's just blahbling.
(05:21):
But Putin wants to say, so they're gonna meet, he
will blah blah and make all kinds of irrational claims
and everything else.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
And if the blah does it make sense, Donald Trump
picks up the phone and calls Putin straights it all out.
Then you move on to the other piece, the Ukrainian piece.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Exactly right right, and then and then they'll talk to
the Ukrainians, which I look, I mean, we should, we
should stop pretending and that, but we haven't been talking
to the Ukrainians, and that Trump and Zolenski are not
actually already aligned on this, because they are. So it's
all just it's one of these things where, you know,
rather than watching all twelve episodes of the Netflikation.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Go with this, go with skip eleven.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Skip eleven episodes, right, spend time with your kids and
then just you know, watched episode twelve and figure out
and see here how's it ends. Don't don't be like
obsessed with watching how they're making the sausage.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
So let me get to the nut of it, which
is how do I do this without all Right, there
is somebody that comes on the show regularly. And then
I walked through what we just walked through, and you know,
and I said, you know, obviously, you know, the US
is the middleman, and so they're gonna talk to Russia,
then they're gonna talk to Ukraine, then they're gonna get
europe involvement, and then somebody's got to negotiate a piece.
(06:37):
Well why are we the middleman? Well, because no one
else has tried to be the middle man, and the
war has just been going on and on. Somebody's got
to do it. Somebody's got to leave peace. I mean
other people. You know, other people have tried.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
And the courses one of the leaf holding make the
French called, put the Germans called, and.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Nobody thought that was the end of the world. As
we know, lots of people have tried to deal directly.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
They've all failed, but it's okay for them to do it,
not for the US, which is kind of laughable. So
the US is the most powerful country on the planet
right now. They have the most popular leader in the
world right now. They have a leader that people fear
and respect, and maybe it's better that they fear him
and not respect him.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
And so yeah, and the.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
President has the most powerful man in the world today
has said I want this word to end because any
instance Ukrainians should not have to die, because in the end,
it's all going to come out in the same place.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
So that's why Donald Trump is doing this. Plus, look,
Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Wants a Europe that is secure and peaceful and prosperous.
It's good for the US. And the easiest way to
ensure that that happens is to just make the war stop.
And I think I think Trump's goals who are very simple,
just make the fighting stop. And here people say, oh,
there's only one metric here, which is if you give
(07:59):
Vladimir Putin something at the negotiating table that he doesn't
hold on the battlefield, it's a win for Putin.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
If you don't, it's a win for everybody else. Just
set simple. James Carrofinald Lieutenant colonel joining us. We're talking
about the Trump administration and negotiators working directly with Russia
to bring it under this warrior. This is not a correction,
it's just an expansion of what you were talking about.
I really think and I you know, I think I
(08:29):
have a pretty good eye for this. Donald Trump does
seem moved by the senseless death. I think it is.
It is a huge priority. And by the way he
talked about eighteen nineteen year old Russians and Ukrainians who
are caught in the middle and dying in the battlefield
by the tens of thousands in a given week. I
(08:51):
really think that is what's moving. But let's talk. Let's
do the tough part now. I think Vladimir Putin wants
this over as much as Ukraine. I think he needs
a way to be shown the exit and save a
little face. But for those that are concerned about Europe
and how it will look once this is over, what
are the dos and don'ts and things to avoid? What
(09:13):
do we want to negotiate that is well, the end
of the war and a secure platform for Europe to
live in the future.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Yeah, Well, first of all, you never give the Russian
something for nothing, because if you give them something for nothing,
then they think they you're an idiot or they have
power on you, and they just want more. So the
answer is I deal with the Russians is to give
them nothing, absolutely nothing.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Don't give them anything. That's the best deal tooth. What
might they be asking for.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
They want to want a neutral Ukraine, they want limits
to the Ukrainian military, they want guarantees that Ukraine won't
be a NATO keep all the territory that they have,
but they're going to want the Ukrainians to excuse me,
give back all the Russian territory. So that's the kind
of stuff that the Russians. They will always come in
with maximum let's bad demands. It doesn't matter how weak
their physician is, it doesn't matter how weak and pay
(10:05):
that they have no cards to play. They will start
out by asking for the world. That's what That's what
Russians do, and that's what Putin will do. And the
short answers don't give them any because in the end.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
The Russians are realists. If they know that there's.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Nothing to be gained and you offer them a deal
with nothing, why would they take that you pointed out correctly.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Excuse me.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
The Russians are at the point of strategic exhaustion, as
are the Ukrainians, so both sides need to break. Now Putin,
why would Putin take a deal where he gets nothing
because he goes, well, I'll come back another day because
you know, the Europeans are effectless, they'll forget about it.
The Americans will get distracted, they'll go away, and then
(10:47):
I'll clean it up later. Which you know, if he
wants to believe that, I don't think that's what's gonna happen.
But if he wants to believe that, fine. The important
thing is that the killing, the killing stops. It's just
that simple. It's gonna be the five minutes. It won't
be done in five minutes. When Trump said I'm the.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
War in a day, he was right.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
If everybody, just if everybody just took the deal, which
is the deal that will wind up when we've done
arguing over it, it will we be.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Over That's what I want to discuss timeline. I thought
it would be. It would really be breathtaking if Donald
Trump could have gotten everything done in Canada, Mexico, Panama,
then move on to ending this war, not to mention
everything Doze's finding. That would leave just the tax cuts
(11:33):
and making them permanent, and this guy would have achieved
his entire administration in thirty days. But in terms of
ending this war, the difference between what it's inevitably going
to end up being and how long it takes everybody
in a face saving way to get there. What do
you see as a timeline for this.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Well, look, the Russians don't need a safe space because
the Russians will just tell everybody that they won and
it doesn't matter what the outcome is. So this notion
that somehow you have to give the Russians something they're
not embarrassed, you have to do that. Poop will figure
out how to make this look like he one. So
I don't worry about Putin if I were the guy,
(12:11):
which I'm not. The Putin's last best hope is to
drag this out until June, hope that the relations between
Trump and the Ukrainians and the Europeans sour and go south,
and that they and they all just squabble at the
(12:33):
NATO summit.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
And that's not likely. That's a media creation today, but
not likely, right. I don't think that's going to happen.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
But if I were Putin and I was desperate to
make one last chance to try, that's what I was
hold out for.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
But I think it's a I think that's not going
to happen.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
All this bomb bass, you're here from Europeans, like, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Oh my god, this is under the world bands.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
He's a terrible person.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
What happened when they all went to Paris for their
emergency meeting after the band's speech, they basically all agreed
in Paris to.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Do exactly what Trump wants.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
So come on, guys, you know, I Trump's I think
Trump's got all the guards, I really do, and the
Russians but they know that.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
And the bottom line is this is a process, and
everybody is hyper focused on a concluding position in an
opening action of a process. That's the biggest thing you're
getting played by.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Trump quoted Napoleon the other day and everybody went apple
plat type. But to quote Napoleon, the enemy gets a vote, right,
So in the end, Plutin has to decide when the
fighting stops, and until somebody puts a bullet in his head,
only only Putin can do that. So anybody wants to
(13:52):
make assumptions or it's like, well, the enemy gets the vote,
Putin gets the vote here, and he might vote stupid.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And you know what, I just realized, all these years
I've been quoting James Carafano is saying, the enemy gets
to say it was Napoleon all along, we don't.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
I don't know if it was Napoleon. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I always I always remind everybody that you're saying. But
I'm just douber Mike, what do I know? By the way,
I took a curb with him in the car. He's
still not over it. Well, did that affect your rating
of me as an uber driver? What I had to
take a curb? You were worried about my car? By
the way, you gotta love a lieutenant curtle, he says,
this place, let's go.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
No, Can I just say this to your audience. I
will absolutely guarantee your audience that you are a better
radio host than you are.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Don't give my wife any animal against me. I happen
to think I am called an aggressive driver.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
But I I.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano, have a great week, get better.
I have COVID I don't know what you have, but
get better. We'll talk again next week.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
It's Your Morning Show with Michael Delchano.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Israel set to receive six more hostages held by HAMAS
on Saturday.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Sources told NBC News that in addition to these six hostages,
HAMAS is expected to turn over the bodies of multiple
hostages on Thursday. Of the thirty three people set to
be released in the first phase of the ceasefire deal,
six living hostages and eight dead ones remain in the
hands of Hamas. Every previous release of Israeli hostages has
(15:32):
been accompanied by the release of dozens of Palestinians detained
in Israeli prisons.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I'm Brian Schuck. Democrats are set to lead a nationwide
protest this week against TESLA dealerships. Now Republicans are saying
and support of Doge well by Tesla's the pensulums and
how they swing. And now New York Governor Kathy Hochel
talking about the possibility of removing New York City Mayor
Eric Adams, a white governor is going to fire up
(16:00):
black mayor because he's talking to Republicans about removing criminals
from harming citizens. I think we've become politically dysfunctional.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
Hey, this is Lee Murphy in Cottontown, Tennessee. My morning
show is your Morning Show with Michael O'Dell jorno.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Hi, it's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Your Morning show can be heard live daily on great
radio stations like News Radio six fifty k e NI Anchorage, Alaska,
Talk Radio eleven ninety Dallas, Fort Wort, and Freedom one
oh four seven in Washington, d C. We'd love to

of your morning routine, but better late than never. Enjoy
the podcast.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Millions of Americans are getting ready for fridge of temperatures,
some of us getting snowed, some of us getting on
tower rooms. I notice you don't want me to come
down and stay with you. But if I get snowed in, no,
Red's coming down. You have to stay because you got
the COVID, A little bit of COVID. What are you
still afraid of that? I want to ask on for
crying out loud social dist.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
I'm the designated survivor of the show.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Well, that's true. It is interesting. You know we can't
even agree on waste, and think of what we used
to call waste. You know, I used to flush it.
Now you're staring over the bowl and depending on who's
wanting to hit the flush half of americacies it is, well, yeah,
(17:33):
you want to stop doing that.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I used to always say, we don't answer the ultimate
questions because we don't even ask the questions. The ultimate
question is what is the proper size and role of government?
And what is the role and responsibility of the self governed.
(17:59):
That's what's never to discussed, never asked, or ever answered
any longer. You know, the government doesn't have any money,
doesn't make money. It's using your money, and it should
be accountable. And we played a montage earlier in our
Sounds of the Day. You've got by the way, I'm
still taken by Joe Biden? Are we sure that was
(18:19):
really Joe Biden the last four years? Well, there's because
that clip of Joe Biden eight years ago that I
played that doesn't even like the same face. I mean,
I understand old and the effects of cognitive impairment, but
I mean that doesn't even like the same fase. How
the guy's face. Oh wait, what was that says? Is
that a joke? Is that Joe? Oh? No, I was
(18:42):
being serious. I didn't even in the same phase. But anyway,
you got Joe Biden, you got Barack Obama, you've got
Bill Clinton, all saying exactly what we're doing right now.
And I guess when they said it it was great.
Now that Trump and Musk are doing it, it's evil. Meanwhile,
we're both looking down at waste in the bowl and
(19:03):
nobody knows whether it's waste or shinola. And so I
was talking earlier. Clearly we have entered the age on
this February eighteenth where Musk derangement syndrome is as real
as Trump derangement syndrome. And by the way, that's nothing new.
I actually think we were guilty of Obama derangement syndrome.
(19:27):
Done a lot of things bad and a lot of
things wrong, but there was a derangement syndrome even if
he said something that was right and made sense, and
I played a couple of clips of those today. At
the time, we didn't receive it because maybe we were
in Obama derangement syndrome. I don't know. America's political relationship
is now dysfunctional, it is incapable. So that's one of
(19:53):
the realities we're living in Now, how does that play out? Well,
Dose identified nearly an under traceable code linking payments to
the US Treasury to a budget line item that is untraceable,
and four point six trillion dollars in payments have flowed
through it and we still can't identify. To wear what American,
(20:15):
whether you're a Democrat or Republican, wouldn't want to find
out where four point seven trillion dollars went. I mean,
I know if I was three point six trillion dollars
in debt and somebody found four point seven trillion in
payments going through something we can't even identify, I'd want
to get to the bottom of that. Elon Musk shared
(20:36):
staggering data showing there are millions of debt Americans still
eligible for Social Security payments. Now, well, you need to
get to the bottom of there is are they still
on the roll? Or are they on the roll and
payments are still flowing? See that's the safeguards that are
in place. Right now, you have auditors. Some can see
(20:58):
the Social Security account and then a completely different one
sees the payment flow. So somebody's got to check both. Now,
all of a sudden, under must arrangement syndrome. These guys
who try to get access to our tax dollar don't
your tax dollars. They're trying to protect from fraud. But
(21:28):
this is now redside something off the air that needs
to be said on the air. I do think Elon
Musk needs to head Doze Doze find these things and
make their recommendations. What he doesn't need to be doing
is posting on AX. That's now you are fueling the derangement,
(21:51):
and that is an improper use of what you're heading up. Now.
I don't know, I'm guessing, and all I can do
is guess that they're trying to get this information to
the American people because they don't trust the middleman, the media,
and rightly so. But you can have a prime time
(22:13):
joint news conference when you have your concluding revelations and recommendations.
As I've said a million times, you could both of
you could go on instead of with Sean Hannity on
Fox that no one's watching, go on Joe Rogan where
sixty million people will go listen. But you don't make POSTSNX.
(22:38):
But this is where we're at. So the bottom line
is in a nation and we learned this from our
journey of discovery today, which is COVID five years later.
In a nation we are completely divided and it is
us versus them, and it is conflicting two different realities.
We're living in a matrix and we knew that. And
(23:00):
now Trump derangement syndrome also exists with Musk derangement syndrome,
and that makes reality really hard to be functional. I mean,
that's the bottom line. We have been a disfunctional government
and political with the two party system in a dysfunction,
(23:24):
but now we're becoming beyond dysfunctional to unfunctional, and it's
really frustrating. So four points seven million has flown into
an untraceable account. We have literally millions of instances of
social security fraud. You would think America would want to
(23:44):
get to the bottom of that, but now the Republicans
are doing it not so much. Finally saw video of
that plane. It is nothing like what I pictured. So
I got reports a Delta commuter flight from Minneapolis Toronto
ends up on its head instead of its wheels on
a runway in Toronto seventy mile an hour winds. So
here's what I'm picturing. A plane coming in sideways as
(24:07):
I've often seen it do. Now. I don't know why
you would try to land in seventy mile an hour winds,
but I've seen them do this. And then at the
last minute you straighten out because you got to play
the drift. And then I thought when you went to
straight now a gust came and you flipped. Not at all.
This plane is coming down straight and steady, came down
fast and hard lands on its wheels, and then all
(24:29):
of a sudden just bounces and flips. Fireball comes to
a stop and everybody casually gets off. I mean, I'm
in awe of these Canadians. They just crash landed. They
ended up on their head. Can you masually they were
upside down on doing their seatbelts and think you start
coming out the door taking selfies. They took a couple
(24:51):
of selfies, gathering up their bags just tofted themselves off.
I mean, wow, oh cool. Come I'd looked like a
cartoon coming. You just saw the shape of my body
on the side of the fuselage. I mean I was
just like, I just cried if this happened, bye bye.
(25:16):
And then he just come out and like the one
guy looked like he was just put his bag around
his arm, just gathering and said he looked like he
was heading to the terminal. That has to be adrenaline
and shock, don't you think, Well, I've been through that. Yeah, yeah,
I got a bad car accident. Until I want to
use my phone. I didn't know what a phone was.
That's what I realized. The coach put me in the game.
I'm okay, I'm okay. Uh, what else do we have? Well,
(25:41):
we just had a great conversation with James Carafano. This
is the problem in America today. Everybody gets an instant, firm,
immovable position before they have any information. I mean, I
always go back to this example during the Olympics, and
this is now what five years ago, and we had
(26:03):
a gymnast who decided to withdraw from the competition. She
had twisties, which my brother thought had something to do
with the twisty disties from ice skating. No, the twisties
means when she's in mid air, she gets disoriented. That's
a big problem. When you're twelve feet off the ground
at full speed doing flips, you could land on your
(26:23):
head and be dead. So someone biles withdraws from the competition.
It's a real condition. Number one, she could be very
dangerously hurt. Number two, she can't compete and help her country.
So she does the right thing, goes with draws. But
back in America, immediately everybody had a position. It was
(26:45):
either this woman, this woman has disgraced her parents, her country,
her teammates, and there were others that you know, she's
a champion of mental illness. No, she had a physical condition.
And to this day everybody has that immovable position. So
(27:07):
what did we find. Well, there's a process to ending
this war with Russia and Ukraine, and so the Americans
are first talking to the Russians, and they're going to
talk to the Ukrainians, and they're gonna talk to the
Europeans and they're going to negotiate it, and then the
war is going to be over. An eighteen nineteen year
old kids stopped dying. But everybody's got a firm and
movable position. Why you are you graine at the table today?
(27:29):
If I wrong, get a call what eight hundred? If
I told you do to two? Am I wrong? Everyone's
ready to play And it's a process. James carafouanal with
the quote of the day. It's like a it's like
a twelve episode season. You want to know and just
go to go to the episode twelve and shut up,
stop stop overreacting to episode one and two and three,
(27:52):
give it time or a Senator Kennedy said, I think
you've gotten four exits past normal. That's kind of a
we're dealing with today. But what we're dealing with is
nothing compared to what we're capable of dealing with because
we're so divided and dysfunctional. I hope that's not the
case for the UM Morning Show audience. Alright. I hadn't
had a simple top five story the day All Morning
(28:14):
Law because Jeffrey has this running late. Has he apologized
for Yes, you've've been very worthy today. I apologize. The
top official at Social Security has gone. Here's why.
Speaker 9 (28:25):
Michelle King resigned after refusing a request from DOGE to
access sensitive government records at the agency. The information reportedly
dealt with Americans bank info, social security numbers, marital status,
and date of birth. President Trump has appointed leland A. Dudek,
a manager in charge of Social Securities Anti Fraud Office,
as acting Commissioner.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
By Mark Mayfield, Democrats are heading to their local Tesla
dealers to protest.
Speaker 10 (28:49):
The organizing group is called Indivisible and has thirteen hundred chapters.
Its goal is to bring attention to DOZE Executive Elon
Musk and President Trump's efforts to gut federal agencies like
the Department of Education. Indivisible co founder Ezra Levin said,
I can't think of something that poll's worse, and the
richest man in the world is coming after your Social
Security check or your meals on wheels. You're start I'm
(29:11):
Lisa Taylor.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
It's what are you doing for the first time a
New York governor, white woman talking about the possibility of
removing a New York City mayor, a black mayor, and
why you ask?
Speaker 8 (29:24):
In a statement Monday night, Hokle says she's asked key
leaders to meet with her Tuesday quote for a conversation
about the path forward with the goal of ensuring stability
for the City of New York. Hockel noted that no
governor has ever removed a mayor in state history, despite
governor's having the power to do so. She also called
reports of the past two weeks seemingly referring to the
(29:47):
pending dismissal of Adam's federal charges and has changed an
approach on immigration enforcement. Quote troubling and cannot be ignored.
Andrew Whitman, NBC News Radio, New York.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Removing criminals from this reads with citizens in harm's way unforgivable.
We must remove him. Meanwhile, Pope Francis is said to
remain in the hospital. This is a nasty bug he's got.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
Once, according to the Vatican, which said the Pope will
remain in the hospital for as long as needed. In
a statement, the Vatican said test results have shown a
polymcrobial infection that has led to further changes in the
Pope's therapy. Molly Hunter in London says in a new biography,
the pope hints that, unlike his predecessor, Pope Benedict, he
(30:29):
has no plans stepping down.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
The reality is quite simply that I'm old. The Church
is governed using the head and the heart, not the legs,
you said.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
The eighty eight year old was admitted to the hospital
on Friday after dealing with a respiratory infection for over
a week. I'm Michael Kassner.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Jimmy Page is sharing his response to fans' reactions to
the Becoming led Zeppelin movie.
Speaker 10 (30:51):
Why I'm going to give you.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
I'm going to give him that.
Speaker 9 (31:05):
The guitarist and film's producer thanked fans for their incredible
responses and the feedback is just humbling and inspiring. He
also thanked fans for their enthusiasm and shared the movie
trailer on Instagram for those who haven't seen it yet.
Becoming led Zeppelin premiered earlier this month and has earned
over six million dollars at the box office worldwide. Page
is the only led Zeppelin member who has publicly commented
(31:28):
on the film since its release.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I'm Mark Neefield. Attention on all stupid governors who thought
they did their citizens of favor by not approving casinos
while they approved gaming from the living room couch. Well,
husband's gonna sit right next to their wives? Is they're
about to lose their home without the wife knowing it?
How do I know this? Internet searches for gambling addiction
(31:51):
are up an experts day, sports betting is to blame.
Speaker 7 (31:55):
The Journal of the American Medical Association set in a
recent report, did if gamble addiction gets out of control,
it could develop into serious mental health disorders and other problems.
Searches for gambling addiction help in twenty twenty two, increase
twenty two percent, then jump twenty five percent in twenty
twenty three. In the first half of twenty twenty four,
ticked up to thirty one percent. States showing the highest
(32:17):
number of searches are Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. A Supreme
Court ruling in twenty eighteen legalized state sponsored sports gambling
throughout most of the US.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
I'm Tammy triheo. Don't blame me. I told you to
take the Eagles. This is your morning show with Michael
del Chrono. At least eighteen people are injured, but no
depths in adulta flight from Minneapolis to Toronto that landed
on its top rather than its wheels. The US holding
talks with Rush over the weekend over the ending of
(32:48):
the war in Ukraine and Ukrainie ain't even at the
table today anyway, and top officials at the Social Security
Administration has stepped down Frigid temperatures even some snow going
to impact millions across the and the Pope remains hospitalized.
With the very latest time that we turned to Rory O'Neal.
Good morning, Rory, hey there, Michael, good morning there. You
(33:09):
wo condition of the Pope. This is a nasty bug
he's got. He's got four and one.
Speaker 11 (33:14):
It does seem to be this mess of this polymicrobial
respiratory tract infection at some combination of virus, bacteria, fungus, parasites,
whatever it may be. They're on their third different course
of treatment to try to get the Pope back up
on his feet. But look, he's eighty eight years old
and an illness like this is something very serious.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Yeah, you know, my mom battled cancer two bouts long throat,
lost her voice box. I remember I was talking to
her cancer surgeon and I said, realistically, with this successful surgery,
how long can I expect to have my mom? And
she gave me the year amount and then she said,
you know, your mom's probably not going to die from
the reoccurrence of this cancer. She's going to die of infection.
(33:58):
Infections serious business. And when you're eighty eight years old,
and then in this case, viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitical,
I mean, my gosh, that is a nasty bug. It
is a lot.
Speaker 11 (34:10):
And you know, the Pope has had a series of
health issues. As we said, eighty eight years old. He's
got knee problems. He had colon surgery a couple of
years ago, so to get this, you know, it's it's
a concern, all right.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Roy, appreciate the update.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
We're all in this together.
