Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern in great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
Drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast well.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Two three starting your morning off right, A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding because we're in
this together. This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell joining.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Seven minutes after the hour on this Cash Betel Day, Thursday,
February the twentieth, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Is Cash is expected.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
To be confirmed today as head of the FBI IRS,
preparing for layoffs some six thousand employees today. That's nothing
at better than eighty five thousand, Biden added, and research
at the University of Virginia believe they may have made
a discovery that could help perverse baldness, which is good
news for a one inch.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Patch in the back of my head anyway.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
And a new study says that it is isn't necessarily
your genetics. Oh, the genetics are a good thing. I'm
surrounded by. My genetics are good. Yeah, yeah, nineties are
easy psy on both sides of my genetic tree. They're
sitting got my rear end in forty five years of smoking,
Maybe something different.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Rory O'Neill is here to sort out habits and genetics.
What plays the role at how long we live.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
And whether or not we die younger or younger, I
guess is the.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Way that we live getting younger.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Right, So environmental and lifestyle factors are probably ten times
more influential and whether or not you die young compared
to the genetics. Like you said, some people are genetically
prone to maybe live longer, but maybe to have health
conditions that require more consistent monitoring or treatments. And you know,
(01:58):
a big factor in this environment to when they put
them in the broadest sense of the term, also looks
at whether or not a person is wealthy enough or
has access to healthcare along the way.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah, and you know, I also was with the pulmonologists
and I said, you know, I got five noveles on
my lungs. You know, take care of mom, good because
I'll probably be here in a couple of years. And
he goes, you have five and I said, yeah, they
haven't grown, but just because it's not cancer or pre cancer.
That's environmental Because let me get did you grow up
near the Mississippi River and when I grew up New Orleans.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Yeah, there you go. So it's interesting.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I wonder if environmental is some of that too, you know,
it's fun. Yeah, So what I found interesting. And again,
I've got genetic patterns. I mean, everybody, everybody in my
family smoked, and everybody quit before death and still lived long.
So that's good. I don't smoke now, but I did
smoke well, four to two years. That's a long time.
(02:55):
You know, you could worry about that, but my genetics
show that that I'm okay. Ever really, yep, I see,
I didn't do it to be cool. For the longest time.
I started like twelve, and nobody knew I didn't. Nobody
had no kids at school knew I smoked. I just
I'm telling you, twelve years old, I loved it. But
you know, when we're talking about environmental roy, what about
(03:15):
like in the old days? Because I am growing thoroughly
convinced secondhand smoke is the real killer. And we grew
up in homes or people smoked in the house, We
drove in cars, with the windows up and people smoking,
and we saw a lot more cancer death from that
than you know, like what is now the trend. Nobody
smokes in their house, nobody smokes in their car, everybody
smokes outside. You wonder if some of these things are
(03:36):
playing a role too and changing these numbers. But there
was no getting around it. If you don't exercise and
you have bad habits like smoking or excessive drinking, you're
gonna die young.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
It doesn't matter what the planetics are.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
And in fact, one of the factors was whether or
not moms smoked around the kids. Yeah, is one of
the factors that they measure. It's two of the other
factors I thought were funny. One if you were considered
they use the term relatively plumper.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Remember remember when we were young, Rory, we were called
husky kids.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Husky yep, those were my jeans.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
But the relatively but yeah, I was just called them chubby.
So if you at age ten, by the way, so
if you're relatively plumper around age ten, uh, and you
were more likely to show signs of aging faster, so
not a good thing. But if you're also shorter at
the age of ten, you had a lower risk of mortality.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
So if I was skinning and short, that's a good thing.
What about short and chubby at ten? Well, the yeah,
one may offset the other, because that was me.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I was chubby at ten. I grew nine inches in
a year and a half. I went freshman year, I
was four foot eleven. By mid sophomore year, I was
five ten crazy. I remember laying a bed screaming. But
so I was chubby at ten, I'd have been short chubby.
I'm sixty enrolling. You're rooting against all my co morbidities,
(05:03):
aren't you. You're rooting for them? I mean, all right, long, short,
I mean I was. I was both those things. Well,
no I was. Yeah, I'm the two negatives. I was
chubby at ten and way too tall at ten.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
So there you go. Yeah, you're what six eight right
or something? Six x sixty six.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Six tex six doing it North Caroline Rory O'Neil good reporting,
he'll be back later in the show to talk about that.
Quinnipieck bolts to stick around for that. All right, Uh,
twelve minutes after the hour. Can't have your morning show
without your voice, to your voice, we go Rogers up first.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
Mornie Michael, Yeah, I have kind of a question hearing
you talk about the Democrats need a new messager messenger,
Why should they ever be trusted again? When they lied
so much about Joe Biden's health, when they put him
up there in the first place, How they put him
up there, all the things you talked about that they
don't even let their party vote on. Why should they
(05:58):
be trusted again, and especially so soon?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Okay, I don't think you're asking me that question, because
you know I already don't trust him. First of all,
I'm not a Republican or a Democrat, and the very
few Republicans I trust there are several I do. One's
president right now, one's vice president right now. I trust
our speaker, I trust our Senate leadership. But if you're
asking that question the questions he has two ways. How
(06:23):
can the Democrats get Democrats to trust them again? After all,
that's where the real betrayal took place. An outsider referendum
election was naturally, you know, created in twenty sixteen. That's
(06:44):
what paved the way for Donald Trump to defeat nineteen
formidable opponents, including a Bush, in the primary. But the
same thing was happening on the Democrats side too, and
it was going to naturally create the outsider Bernie's Sanders
from the extreme left, a socialist within their own party.
(07:06):
So in a true outside of referendum election, we should
have seen Bernie Sanders versus Donald Trump. That's what the
people wanted.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Oh I thought that that would No.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
No, it came up. But what did the Democrats do.
They betrayed their voters. They manipulated the primary, used super
delegates and other things to make sure it was Hillary
Clinton and lost. Then at twenty twenty they wanted Bernie again.
They cut a deal in South Carolina and they went
with Old Joe fourth in Iowa, seventh in New Hampshire,
(07:41):
and again ran a candidate they didn't want.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
But wait, there's more. At twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Four, the old Joe they didn't want to begin with
is still going to run senile. Then they reveally senile.
Then they take all of his delegates at the end
of the primary process and just give them to Kamala
Harris and never gave the That's three these presidential cycles
in a row. The Democrats ignored their own voters, betrayed
their own voters. How are they going to get the
(08:08):
trust of their own voters. I mean, the big question
of the hour is can the Democrat part is the
Democrat Party capable of uniting? And this is why I
always come back to wes Moore. You know why, because
Wes Moore is Barack Obama with a background, no mystery,
(08:32):
you got it all scholar, military charisma. And see it
takes somebody, and it did with Obama, but it will
only again be with somebody like that. That's the only
thing that could distract the Democrat Party to forget all
this other stuff, even their far left versus establishment bickering.
(08:59):
This is what Stephen is Smith is trying to set up.
You got to have a Michael Jordan. See the minute
he makes that analogy, I know where he's trying to
steer them. You can't do it with Gavin Ussom. You
can't do it with Gretchen, can't do it with there Pete.
(09:22):
You can't even do it with Ben. You need somebody
to turn the turnstile need You need a superstar. And
he's right, that's the only thing that'll get them to
forget all this bickering and forget all this betrayal and
get behind somebody. He's coming The question is if the
Republicans get the results to all the actions they are
(09:44):
now doing, they might be unbeatable. And if they can
hand off the transfer, whether it's to jd. Vance or
Vance and DeSantis or Vance and Rubio, that would make
them pretty unbeatable. You might want to wait another four
years and then you just run someone to lose, like
we ran Bob Dole. Just run them, or I guess
(10:05):
the better now to be Mitt Romney, right, just run Mid.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Why should we trust him? I don't.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Their problem isn't to get me to trust him, because
even if I trusted them, I would just trust them
to do everything anathetical to what I believe. Their problem
is getting their own party to trust them. How are
you gonna get Black voters to trust them again? How
are you gonna get Asian and Hispanic voters to trust
them again? Or, as we're gonna feature next hour, how
on earth to get the youth to trust them again?
(10:38):
It looks like you lost them more over COVID than
anything else. Dave is next up.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
Well, I agree with you, Shapiro, and more makes sense
for twenty eight For the Dems. You got to remember,
these dim dopes are all about identity. And I think
they will run a woman, whether she is the best
candidate or not, because they got to run a woman
and be the first. So it could be AOC or
(11:06):
someone else, but definitely a woman.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Well, you know, again, if they're believing today's Quinnipiac poll,
you're probably right. Never never underestimate their ability to reach
into the jaws of victory at grab defeat.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
But I don't see one on the horizon. I don't.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I think they're over two. They're not going to be
anxious to go over three. I don't know that that's
going to be on the table for the top of
the ticket. But the question between Shapiro, Newsom and Wes Moore,
and I think they're set at the table for Wes
Moore seems the most likely. But love your calls. It's
as much your kitchen table or more than it is mine.
(11:45):
This is your morning show. Keep using the talkback button
on the iHeartRadio app or email me at michaeld at

you don't play that yet. I still have to talk
about guns when we come back. I also want to
tell you that what we dreaded and knew was coming
in the hostage exchange along with your top five stories.
(12:07):
All right, so burn a launcher. I believe in the
Second Amendment. I owned two guns. I secured them meticulously
when my children were young. But I believed in my
ability as a first responder to protect myself, my wife,
my children, and my family in property. But I have
found burner to be a perfect compliment the burner less
(12:31):
lethal launcher. If I get out in the middle of
night and I hear something, and I come out with
my burner, and all of a sudden, I see a
nineteen year old. If I had a real gun on
my hand, do I really want to make a split
second decision to take some nineteen year old life and
live with at the rest of my life. Maybe I
have to defend it in court. We never really know
what we're going to do in that situation. This takes
(12:51):
away that anxiety for me. I can take them out.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
Jim writes, driving back to Franklin from Florida after a
trade show, Well let me give you a little forecast
stay in Florida. On the drive, I caught up on
the past couple of days of podcasts out your five
years after COVID. Segments were excellent, but it was the
hardest couple of hours of radio I've had to listen to.
(14:15):
I'm part of the twenty seven percent that were very
affected by COVID. Losing my job a very good job
at age sixty. This is the first year that I've
had legitimate income. Well, that's the whole point of doing
the segment. There were a lot of people affected by
things they didn't need to be affected by. There were
a lot of things that were done right. I mean
a lot of brave nurses and doctors that tried their
best and exposed themselves to things that they didn't know
(14:38):
what the risks would be at the time. But there
were a lot of mistakes, and there were a lot
of things that government did and were failed. The most
was the most vulnerable, the elderly and nursing homes and
our youth and the education effect. And the irony is
they lost the election in large part because they lost
youth vote. COVID's how they lost the vote. It's an
(14:59):
interesting life. We'll do it next tower with David Sanadi.
The Appeals Court has ruled President Trump cannot end birthright
citizenship for now.
Speaker 8 (15:07):
The US Constitution says anyone born in the United States
becomes a US citizen, an amendment that Trump has been
trying to overthrow with an executive order. When a Seattle
judge banned that executive order, the Department of Justice filed
an emergency request to lift the ban and end birthright citizenship.
On Wednesday, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled birthright
citizenship will remain the law while the case moves forward,
(15:30):
with arguments slated for June.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Why down Trump only talking to Russia? Why isn't Ukraine there?
Why doesn't he have European leaders at the tay?
Speaker 4 (15:39):
He's meeting with European leaders next week.
Speaker 9 (15:41):
French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Kris Starmer
will visit Washington next week to meet with Trump. This
says European leaders raised flags about Trump's handling of Russia's
war in Ukraine. The President has gone after Ukrainian President Zelenski,
blaming him for starting the conflict with Russia.

down a cherry tree. That story invented by a biographer
and published in eighteen oh.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Six to sell books.
Speaker 11 (16:49):
Shocking, yes, But because of that, Americans fell in love
with all things cherry, and today we celebrate the four
pounds of cherries baked between a top and bottom pie crust.
All a motor not. You just need a fork sharing optional.
I'm Bree Tennis.

No, it's me Neil Sadaka valentimes day, everybody. I am
now addicted to Neils. You know, for two years I
went on a binge of ingelbird humper ding, talking like
happy Tustay mus d.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
It's me Ingle bood humper Ding.

at lunch with his grandkids and they're they're quizzing him
what's my name?
Speaker 4 (18:17):
But you're darling, that's your name, Harry. Carry you there
a little bit you every now and then I'll just
be like brushing my hair. Soon.
Speaker 14 (18:25):
Go hello, every buddy, I'm Nil Sadaka and I'm still
talking about my same three hits and Mike and Mike
Sadaka my grandson who sings with me.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Did I ever tell you about a dream I had
one time? So look can right on sand I would
love to be able to sing. That's got to be
a great feeling. You know, there's certain people, you know,
how do you do that? You know, how does that
come out? And then what would it be like to
walk out and there's a stadium full of people and
they're there to see you, and you start singing and
(18:59):
they go crazy, and then you open your mouth and
everything you know, like an instrument, it comes up. It'd
be a great feeling, so one that I'm dreaming we're
a great singer. Though I'm backstage, it's completely dark, and
you can hear the crowd like rumblin and well, get
ready to go on stage. And also the guy goes,
all right, let's go, and I am seeing so vividly.
Now I've introduced a couple of bands, so maybe that's
(19:19):
where in my head I've seen it. But you know,
it's like the black stage with the tape and arrows
and stuff, and the guy's point in the flashlight and
he's taking me on stage and I can get out
where I can feel the air and I can sense
the crowd's energy and they're starting to champ and all
of a sudden, the light comes on me and I
start playing. And you think it'd be something cool, you know,
(19:41):
like elo or No, all of a sudden it was, dude.
I started playing Laughter in the Ring by Neil Sadaka.
So you're playing piano and roll dream and it turns
nerdy and.
Speaker 14 (19:54):
Now I just definite now and then I say hi,
every buddy, I'm Nil Sadaka, sometimes even sing some of
his songs.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
You know, I love I Love my Calendar girls. Because
if you start watching these.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Videos these old people, you know, they they're just down
there every day and they're just talking.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Don't do it, You'll get you'll get addicted. Here's one
from Neil. Do you want to hear another one?
Speaker 15 (20:17):
All right, people, I was Johnny Vier all fine with
our first feature fan from the Calendar crew, and here
they are.
Speaker 14 (20:28):
I Love I Love my Calendar Calendar.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
I mean he's like, yes, trending time.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
But you know, people don't think I'm like you think
it adyear is all I'm gonna be on Facebook wing
you know, Character six. I think you're going to be
doing Neil Diamond impersonation Neil Diald. Listen, don't hold anything
against me. I'm very ill with COVID. It's a very
sick house right now. I really don't even know what
(20:58):
I'm saying. Eight minutes after the hour Donald Trump. So
if we were all gonna have a complete conversation past, present,
in future, as we like to do, in the moment,
we might have said, is Donald Trump crazy? Is he
(21:18):
really gonna invade Panama over the canal? Is he really
wanting to make Canada our fifty first date? Is he
really gonna do these tariffs that make it impossible to live?
Speaker 4 (21:30):
I thought we elected him to make it more affordable.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
But remember when it plays out, it ends with, oh,
Canada is not going to be the fifty first date.
Canad needs to secure its border for its own people's sake.
It's got a terrorism threat, it's got a drug problem,
it's got a human trafficking problem. Plus I need him
to protect it because that's where a lot of people
are still coming through. And no, I'm not gonna drive
(21:57):
up cause I just needed Mexico to help and send
some troops. So when it was all said, and done
after everybody made an idiot of themselves. And this one
happened in a matter of minutes hours at the most,
Mexico caved to the threat of tariff, sent ten thousand
troops to the border. Canada caved and named as a
(22:19):
borders are and put one point three billion dollars towards
border security. It was a negotiation, It was not a destination.
We didn't invade Panama. In fact, Panama's relooking at how
it does business with China. Oh and by the way,
our ships have are fee free now. So when things
(22:39):
come up like why all the sudden as he ye know,
given Zelinsky the Hillary treatment, you know, it's just suddenly
bashing Zalinsky.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
You know, you sit there, you're going you.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Know they're gonna all say, you see, I told you
this dictator in Tyrant was in bed with Putin. He's
only talking to Putin now he's Bashin. Zelensky's even accusing
Zi Lensky causing the war. He's saying he was an
average comedian. I mean, what's going on.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
I don't know. Let's wait and see how it plays out.
He's up to something. But in the midst of.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
All this It's like what he's really up to, what
he's really getting to, how he gets there makes you think, wow,
is this the old Trump coming out? And you just
got to give it time. And then every now and
then he'll do one that's just brilliant from the moment
you hear it, and then you realize everything he's been
(23:37):
doing played up to this moment. This is a brilliant walk,
not a spur of the moment idea. The garbage truck's
a great example of that, right right, and I we're
talking off the air. You know, how do you think
the Democrats would have done it? She'd have picked Shapiro
is a running mate. Well, they probably would have got Pennsylvania.
(24:00):
Don't know if they would have got Michigan. I don't
know if it would have in the end changed the outcome,
but it might have made closer. I mean, it didn't
help getting a goofball coach. But you know, does Trump
take every swing state without that garbage truck?
Speaker 4 (24:19):
We'll never know. But it was brilliant. How do you
like my garbage truck? This is like that, this is
a game changer. So everybody's fighting over doge.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
At the end of the day, what are you for
bureaucrats waste it's your money they're wasting.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
And so now shuffle through the matrix. You have the
left obstructing.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
They're making it now, Elon Musk Stoge, they're making it
now a constitutional crisis. And everybody else is like, that's
my money they're wasting.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Yeah, fix that.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
In our sounds a day, even Bill Maher is telling
everybody Elon Musk is a great guy.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
He's a brilliant guy. He just likes to fix things.
But this while you're in the midst of a fight,
he's evil. He's evil. He's evil. No, he's crazy, he's creaty.
He's doing great things for the president, for us.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
In the midst of that argument, the president drops this bomb.
We're even considering doose dividend checks. Can you imagine if
the American people end up getting individually a bigger check,
after all, it was their money that was stolen, their
money that was wasted. If they got a bigger dividend
(25:44):
check for what DOGE cleans up than what the Democrats
gave them.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
To shut down your life during COVID, Wow, that's a
garbage truck.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
I got a pilot stories today, but nothing nothing you will.
You know, it's kind of like, you know people that
jah that big egos on the radio and they're taught
my show, my show?
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Am I wrong? Get me called my show?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Nobody's gonna remember a single thing they said that day. Ever,
in fact, I got news for you. I'll make a
prediction in five years from now, no one will bring
up anything I said about Doge Dividends, anything I said
about Stephen A. Smith and the Democrats identity and platform problem,
none of this. But someone's likely to come up to
(26:40):
me and go, will you do Neil Sedaka, I'm telling you,
mark my words, that's the kind of stuff youple so
in all of this stuff that is a news cycle,
most of it's a step and a process. You can't
understand the step. The step doesn't do anything. You understand
the destination, the direction and the process. Now I can't
(27:03):
tell you today February twenty. It's why Donald Trump is
trying to make an idiot out of Zelenski. But I
think it has something to do with how he's conditioning
Russia and Ukraine for what he's orchestrating. Why just two
days ago everybody was screaming at the top of their lungs.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
You gotta have Europe at the table. They're gonna have
to live with the conditions. Not you, you're being ocean away.
Oh he's going there soon.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Don the docket chilled. I don't know if he really
wants the federal government to run DC. I don't think
he ever really wanted Canada be the fifty first date.
I don't think he wanted to invade Bantama. I just
wanted his fees free and get them to tighten down
on the Shenanigans of China. What's Donald Trump one point
(28:00):
oh creeping back in and getting weird? Or what is
Donald Trump two point oh doing that people don't get
looks crazy on Thursday, but by Monday it's brilliant. There's
a lot of that, But there's one thing. There was
one thing you need to understand today that you will
remember tomorrow. If he's not just floating a crazy idea,
(28:25):
If him and Elon Musk go through and find one
point nine billion dollars of misapplied and two hundred and
sixty million of waste, and that's so far, and they
turn around and divide that by one hundred and sixty
eight million households and you get a big fat check
(28:47):
of like fifteen hundred twenty two hundred dollars. That's an
o wild moment you watch once a check starts coming
to you. How people feel about government efficiency and transparency. Look,
(29:07):
I know when I'm playing checkers, and I know when
I'm playing chess, and I know when I'm about to
lose in chess before the move is even made. You
know that oh crap moment. Ah, And then the guy
does it and you're in checkmate, gang the doge dividend
(29:28):
check that's checkmate. Well, forty seven minutes after the hour.
Speaker 14 (29:38):
Hello everybody, I'm Nil Sadaka with your top five stories.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
I can't stop.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
The RS is going to lay off six thousand employees.
Well that's nothing compared to the eighty five thousand Joe
Biden hired, but Mark Mayfield has details.
Speaker 8 (29:56):
This comes at the busiest time of the year for
the tax collecting agency. The IRS will primarily be letting
go of probationary workers as part of the Trump administration's
efforts to reduce the federal government workforce. It also comes
as multiple reports say Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency
is looking to get access to the IRs' taxpayer data system.
The IRS increased its staff under the Biden administration in
(30:19):
an effort to increase audits of corporations and the wealthy.
I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Know my listeners have really love me. We'll be on
Facebook watching Neil Sadak. If it, mister, and they too
will wake up tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
Helloup it buy the on Nil Sadak. Maybe Neil will
call the talkback line.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
President Trump is meeting with two key European leaders next week.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Is he going to meet with the europe next week?
Lisa Taylor reports.
Speaker 9 (30:40):
French President Emanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer
will visit Washington next week to meet with Trump. This
says European leaders raised flags about Trump's handling of Russia's
war in Ukraine. The President has gone after Ukrainian President Zelenski,
blaming him for starting the conflict with Russia.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
I'm Lisa Taylor.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Okay, Lisa Taylor's always my favorite, but when she puts
on the accent, mackroll. Meanwhile, Governor Kathy Hockel and the
MTA are suing President Trump and the Transportation Secretary.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
How did they meddle with our end to congestion pricing.
Speaker 16 (31:14):
Hockel told news reporters she got the news via email,
a letter from Secretary Sean Duffy, and within minutes she
and the MTA filed suit.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
They were ready.
Speaker 11 (31:24):
I'm very confident of be successful, and I also want
to say the cameras are staying.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
On New York ain't going back. We tried gridlock for
sixty years. It didn't work. It caused our economy billions.
Speaker 16 (31:36):
Mtch Jenna Lieber, who says traffic is down nine percent
in the six weeks since tolling began in the streets
are a whole lot safer. He also says business is
booming for restaurants, broadway shows, and taxi drivers.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
I'm Sarah Lee Kessler.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
You know people always say, you know, what's the funny
thing here? Well, you know, I've seen a lot of
great comedy. Chris Rock had a special one time. Eddie
Murphy had two Richard Pryor masterpiece. Sebashia Maniscalcos had a
couple of masterpieces.
Speaker 11 (32:06):
Do you know what.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
I was six years old, my brother was eight. We
were sitting down listening to the Wedding album with Chiechin
Chong and I don't know that. I've ever and sixty
years laughed harder than that. And guess what they're back.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
So is this a documentary or a movie? I don't know, man.
All we can do is be funny.
Speaker 10 (32:23):
The first trailer for Cheachin Chong's Last Movie was released Wednesday.
It shows Cheech and Chong driving through the desert while
reminiscing about their careers. The duo has made more than
two dozen movies together, dating back to their nineteen seventy
eight debut Up in Smoke.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
It's a giant hit, giant It's not hard to see
what drugs do to you again, make it rich, Cheachin
Chong's Last Movie.
Speaker 10 (32:45):
We'll have a limited release on April twentieth, followed by
a nationwide release April twenty fifth. I'm Dave Days not here,
I'm Michael Cassner.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Whether it's men's or women's, the USA versus Canada usually
goes Canada's way. Didn't in the Four Nations face off
earlier in the week, and after Canada mocked the United States,
they may have given the USA more to play for.
We'll find out. The finals are tonight, USA Canada, seven o'clock.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
Go USA.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Birthdays, Pop singer Olivia or Rodrigo twenty two years old,
Rhianna thirty seven. Sir Charles, you know I remember Charles
Barkley single handedly beating LSUN Psychologies Stoppable six sixty two
years old today and the infamous Patty Hurst. Which I
love about that story was everybody's looking for this rich heiress.
(33:33):
They think she's been kidnapped. They'd find her robbing banks.
Then they still can't find her. Where does she turn up?
And Bill Walton's apartment.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
You can't make this stuff up.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
This is your Morning show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 15 (33:48):
Hello everybody, It's Field in New York and my morning show,
No Morning show with My.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Days the Canada Boy Michael del Jorno. Oh my, that's
really nails to Doca. That wasn't me.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Why is that stuck in my head? You know what,
John Decker, I think COVID is starting to have an
effect on me. We may all soon be paying an
extra twenty five percent for on Toyota or Mercedes. There
are other cars manufactured overseas. This can't be the endgame
of Donald Trump. Make already unaffordable vehicles more unaffordable.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (34:23):
John Well?
Speaker 12 (34:25):
You're right when you talk about unaffordable. The average price
of a new car in twenty twenty four was forty
eight thousand dollars. You slap a twenty five percent tariff
on that, you're now talking about a sixty thousand dollars car,
and that certainly could impact demand for new imported cars.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Here in the United States.
Speaker 12 (34:46):
And the endgame of well, I was gonna say.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
I was just gonna say, and that's the average if
you get a normal car like you're used to having,
you're talking about more than my first mortgage, my first home.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Yeah, it's crazy, Yeah.
Speaker 12 (34:57):
Extremely expensive. And you know, I don't know what President
Trump's endgame is. He says that he will announce these
new twenty five percent tariffs on April to second. Perhaps
it's just to move more manufacturing of those imported cars
here in the US. You know about all of those
imported car plants that are here in America. BMW has
(35:19):
South Carolina, Mercedes has Alabama, and you see other foreign
manufacturing taking place here in the United States, and these
right to work states in particular, more of that may happen.
Maybe that's the endgame for the president, but that certainly
will lead to a potentially retaliatory tariffs happening in the
(35:42):
countries where these countries where these companies are based.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Sorry was such a short time. I'm playing around doing
Neil Sadaka, but we'll talk more for the project. I
may bring this up again tomorrow. If this is the
end game for the president and jobs and manufacturing that's important,
it needs to start explaining it or I'm going to
assume it's part of a negotia ciation.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
A time will tell you. John Decker is always great reporting.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
We're all in this together. This is your morning Show
with Michael Ndel Joano
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern in great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
Drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast well.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Two three starting your morning off right, A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding because we're in
this together. This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell joining.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Seven minutes after the hour on this Cash Betel Day, Thursday,
February the twentieth, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Is Cash is expected.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
To be confirmed today as head of the FBI IRS,
preparing for layoffs some six thousand employees today. That's nothing
at better than eighty five thousand, Biden added, and research
at the University of Virginia believe they may have made
a discovery that could help perverse baldness, which is good
news for a one inch.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Patch in the back of my head anyway.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
And a new study says that it is isn't necessarily
your genetics. Oh, the genetics are a good thing. I'm
surrounded by. My genetics are good. Yeah, yeah, nineties are
easy psy on both sides of my genetic tree. They're
sitting got my rear end in forty five years of smoking,
Maybe something different.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Rory O'Neill is here to sort out habits and genetics.
What plays the role at how long we live.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
And whether or not we die younger or younger, I
guess is the.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Way that we live getting younger.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Right, So environmental and lifestyle factors are probably ten times
more influential and whether or not you die young compared
to the genetics. Like you said, some people are genetically
prone to maybe live longer, but maybe to have health
conditions that require more consistent monitoring or treatments. And you know,
(01:58):
a big factor in this environment to when they put
them in the broadest sense of the term, also looks
at whether or not a person is wealthy enough or
has access to healthcare along the way.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah, and you know, I also was with the pulmonologists
and I said, you know, I got five noveles on
my lungs. You know, take care of mom, good because
I'll probably be here in a couple of years. And
he goes, you have five and I said, yeah, they
haven't grown, but just because it's not cancer or pre cancer.
That's environmental Because let me get did you grow up
near the Mississippi River and when I grew up New Orleans.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Yeah, there you go. So it's interesting.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I wonder if environmental is some of that too, you know,
it's fun. Yeah, So what I found interesting. And again,
I've got genetic patterns. I mean, everybody, everybody in my
family smoked, and everybody quit before death and still lived long.
So that's good. I don't smoke now, but I did
smoke well, four to two years. That's a long time.
(02:55):
You know, you could worry about that, but my genetics
show that that I'm okay. Ever really, yep, I see,
I didn't do it to be cool. For the longest time.
I started like twelve, and nobody knew I didn't. Nobody
had no kids at school knew I smoked. I just
I'm telling you, twelve years old, I loved it. But
you know, when we're talking about environmental roy, what about
(03:15):
like in the old days? Because I am growing thoroughly
convinced secondhand smoke is the real killer. And we grew
up in homes or people smoked in the house, We
drove in cars, with the windows up and people smoking,
and we saw a lot more cancer death from that
than you know, like what is now the trend. Nobody
smokes in their house, nobody smokes in their car, everybody
smokes outside. You wonder if some of these things are
(03:36):
playing a role too and changing these numbers. But there
was no getting around it. If you don't exercise and
you have bad habits like smoking or excessive drinking, you're
gonna die young.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
It doesn't matter what the planetics are.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
And in fact, one of the factors was whether or
not moms smoked around the kids. Yeah, is one of
the factors that they measure. It's two of the other
factors I thought were funny. One if you were considered
they use the term relatively plumper.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Remember remember when we were young, Rory, we were called
husky kids.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Husky yep, those were my jeans.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
But the relatively but yeah, I was just called them chubby.
So if you at age ten, by the way, so
if you're relatively plumper around age ten, uh, and you
were more likely to show signs of aging faster, so
not a good thing. But if you're also shorter at
the age of ten, you had a lower risk of mortality.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
So if I was skinning and short, that's a good thing.
What about short and chubby at ten? Well, the yeah,
one may offset the other, because that was me.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I was chubby at ten. I grew nine inches in
a year and a half. I went freshman year, I
was four foot eleven. By mid sophomore year, I was
five ten crazy. I remember laying a bed screaming. But
so I was chubby at ten, I'd have been short chubby.
I'm sixty enrolling. You're rooting against all my co morbidities,
(05:03):
aren't you. You're rooting for them? I mean, all right, long, short,
I mean I was. I was both those things. Well,
no I was. Yeah, I'm the two negatives. I was
chubby at ten and way too tall at ten.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
So there you go. Yeah, you're what six eight right
or something? Six x sixty six.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Six tex six doing it North Caroline Rory O'Neil good reporting,
he'll be back later in the show to talk about that.
Quinnipieck bolts to stick around for that. All right, Uh,
twelve minutes after the hour. Can't have your morning show
without your voice, to your voice, we go Rogers up first.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
Mornie Michael, Yeah, I have kind of a question hearing
you talk about the Democrats need a new messager messenger,
Why should they ever be trusted again? When they lied
so much about Joe Biden's health, when they put him
up there in the first place, How they put him
up there, all the things you talked about that they
don't even let their party vote on. Why should they
(05:58):
be trusted again, and especially so soon?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Okay, I don't think you're asking me that question, because
you know I already don't trust him. First of all,
I'm not a Republican or a Democrat, and the very
few Republicans I trust there are several I do. One's
president right now, one's vice president right now. I trust
our speaker, I trust our Senate leadership. But if you're
asking that question the questions he has two ways. How
(06:23):
can the Democrats get Democrats to trust them again? After all,
that's where the real betrayal took place. An outsider referendum
election was naturally, you know, created in twenty sixteen. That's
(06:44):
what paved the way for Donald Trump to defeat nineteen
formidable opponents, including a Bush, in the primary. But the
same thing was happening on the Democrats side too, and
it was going to naturally create the outsider Bernie's Sanders
from the extreme left, a socialist within their own party.
(07:06):
So in a true outside of referendum election, we should
have seen Bernie Sanders versus Donald Trump. That's what the
people wanted.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Oh I thought that that would No.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
No, it came up. But what did the Democrats do.
They betrayed their voters. They manipulated the primary, used super
delegates and other things to make sure it was Hillary
Clinton and lost. Then at twenty twenty they wanted Bernie again.
They cut a deal in South Carolina and they went
with Old Joe fourth in Iowa, seventh in New Hampshire,
(07:41):
and again ran a candidate they didn't want.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
But wait, there's more. At twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Four, the old Joe they didn't want to begin with
is still going to run senile. Then they reveally senile.
Then they take all of his delegates at the end
of the primary process and just give them to Kamala
Harris and never gave the That's three these presidential cycles
in a row. The Democrats ignored their own voters, betrayed
their own voters. How are they going to get the
(08:08):
trust of their own voters. I mean, the big question
of the hour is can the Democrat part is the
Democrat Party capable of uniting? And this is why I
always come back to wes Moore. You know why, because
Wes Moore is Barack Obama with a background, no mystery,
(08:32):
you got it all scholar, military charisma. And see it
takes somebody, and it did with Obama, but it will
only again be with somebody like that. That's the only
thing that could distract the Democrat Party to forget all
this other stuff, even their far left versus establishment bickering.
(08:59):
This is what Stephen is Smith is trying to set up.
You got to have a Michael Jordan. See the minute
he makes that analogy, I know where he's trying to
steer them. You can't do it with Gavin Ussom. You
can't do it with Gretchen, can't do it with there Pete.
(09:22):
You can't even do it with Ben. You need somebody
to turn the turnstile need You need a superstar. And
he's right, that's the only thing that'll get them to
forget all this bickering and forget all this betrayal and
get behind somebody. He's coming The question is if the
Republicans get the results to all the actions they are
(09:44):
now doing, they might be unbeatable. And if they can
hand off the transfer, whether it's to jd. Vance or
Vance and DeSantis or Vance and Rubio, that would make
them pretty unbeatable. You might want to wait another four
years and then you just run someone to lose, like
we ran Bob Dole. Just run them, or I guess
(10:05):
the better now to be Mitt Romney, right, just run Mid.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Why should we trust him? I don't.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Their problem isn't to get me to trust him, because
even if I trusted them, I would just trust them
to do everything anathetical to what I believe. Their problem
is getting their own party to trust them. How are
you gonna get Black voters to trust them again? How
are you gonna get Asian and Hispanic voters to trust
them again? Or, as we're gonna feature next hour, how
on earth to get the youth to trust them again?
(10:38):
It looks like you lost them more over COVID than
anything else. Dave is next up.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
Well, I agree with you, Shapiro, and more makes sense
for twenty eight For the Dems. You got to remember,
these dim dopes are all about identity. And I think
they will run a woman, whether she is the best
candidate or not, because they got to run a woman
and be the first. So it could be AOC or
(11:06):
someone else, but definitely a woman.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Well, you know, again, if they're believing today's Quinnipiac poll,
you're probably right. Never never underestimate their ability to reach
into the jaws of victory at grab defeat.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
But I don't see one on the horizon. I don't.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I think they're over two. They're not going to be
anxious to go over three. I don't know that that's
going to be on the table for the top of
the ticket. But the question between Shapiro, Newsom and Wes Moore,
and I think they're set at the table for Wes
Moore seems the most likely. But love your calls. It's
as much your kitchen table or more than it is mine.
(11:45):
This is your morning show. Keep using the talkback button
on the iHeartRadio app or email me at michaeld at
iHeartMedia dot com. All right, we come back, Actually no,
you don't play that yet. I still have to talk
about guns when we come back. I also want to
tell you that what we dreaded and knew was coming
in the hostage exchange along with your top five stories.
(12:07):
All right, so burn a launcher. I believe in the
Second Amendment. I owned two guns. I secured them meticulously
when my children were young. But I believed in my
ability as a first responder to protect myself, my wife,
my children, and my family in property. But I have
found burner to be a perfect compliment the burner less
(12:31):
lethal launcher. If I get out in the middle of
night and I hear something, and I come out with
my burner, and all of a sudden, I see a
nineteen year old. If I had a real gun on
my hand, do I really want to make a split
second decision to take some nineteen year old life and
live with at the rest of my life. Maybe I
have to defend it in court. We never really know
what we're going to do in that situation. This takes
(12:51):
away that anxiety for me. I can take them out.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
Jim writes, driving back to Franklin from Florida after a
trade show, Well let me give you a little forecast
stay in Florida. On the drive, I caught up on
the past couple of days of podcasts out your five
years after COVID. Segments were excellent, but it was the
hardest couple of hours of radio I've had to listen to.
(14:15):
I'm part of the twenty seven percent that were very
affected by COVID. Losing my job a very good job
at age sixty. This is the first year that I've
had legitimate income. Well, that's the whole point of doing
the segment. There were a lot of people affected by
things they didn't need to be affected by. There were
a lot of things that were done right. I mean
a lot of brave nurses and doctors that tried their
best and exposed themselves to things that they didn't know
(14:38):
what the risks would be at the time. But there
were a lot of mistakes, and there were a lot
of things that government did and were failed. The most
was the most vulnerable, the elderly and nursing homes and
our youth and the education effect. And the irony is
they lost the election in large part because they lost
youth vote. COVID's how they lost the vote. It's an
(14:59):
interesting life. We'll do it next tower with David Sanadi.
The Appeals Court has ruled President Trump cannot end birthright
citizenship for now.
Speaker 8 (15:07):
The US Constitution says anyone born in the United States
becomes a US citizen, an amendment that Trump has been
trying to overthrow with an executive order. When a Seattle
judge banned that executive order, the Department of Justice filed
an emergency request to lift the ban and end birthright citizenship.
On Wednesday, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled birthright
citizenship will remain the law while the case moves forward,
(15:30):
with arguments slated for June.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Why down Trump only talking to Russia? Why isn't Ukraine there?
Why doesn't he have European leaders at the tay?
Speaker 4 (15:39):
He's meeting with European leaders next week.
Speaker 9 (15:41):
French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Kris Starmer
will visit Washington next week to meet with Trump. This
says European leaders raised flags about Trump's handling of Russia's
war in Ukraine. The President has gone after Ukrainian President Zelenski,
blaming him for starting the conflict with Russia.

down a cherry tree. That story invented by a biographer
and published in eighteen oh.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Six to sell books.
Speaker 11 (16:49):
Shocking, yes, But because of that, Americans fell in love
with all things cherry, and today we celebrate the four
pounds of cherries baked between a top and bottom pie crust.

No, it's me Neil Sadaka valentimes day, everybody. I am
now addicted to Neils. You know, for two years I
went on a binge of ingelbird humper ding, talking like
happy Tustay mus d.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
It's me Ingle bood humper Ding.
Speaker 14 (18:08):
Now now I'm into Nil Sadaka. And and sometimes he's
at lunch with his grandkids and they're they're quizzing him
what's my name?
Speaker 4 (18:17):
But you're darling, that's your name, Harry. Carry you there
a little bit you every now and then I'll just
be like brushing my hair. Soon.
Speaker 14 (18:25):
Go hello, every buddy, I'm Nil Sadaka and I'm still
talking about my same three hits and Mike and Mike
Sadaka my grandson who sings with me.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Did I ever tell you about a dream I had
one time? So look can right on sand I would
love to be able to sing. That's got to be
a great feeling. You know, there's certain people, you know,
how do you do that? You know, how does that
come out? And then what would it be like to
walk out and there's a stadium full of people and
they're there to see you, and you start singing and
(18:59):
they go crazy, and then you open your mouth and
everything you know, like an instrument, it comes up. It'd
be a great feeling, so one that I'm dreaming we're
a great singer. Though I'm backstage, it's completely dark, and
you can hear the crowd like rumblin and well, get
ready to go on stage. And also the guy goes,
all right, let's go, and I am seeing so vividly.
Now I've introduced a couple of bands, so maybe that's
(19:19):
where in my head I've seen it. But you know,
it's like the black stage with the tape and arrows
and stuff, and the guy's point in the flashlight and
he's taking me on stage and I can get out
where I can feel the air and I can sense
the crowd's energy and they're starting to champ and all
of a sudden, the light comes on me and I
start playing. And you think it'd be something cool, you know,
(19:41):
like elo or No, all of a sudden it was, dude.
I started playing Laughter in the Ring by Neil Sadaka.
So you're playing piano and roll dream and it turns
nerdy and.
Speaker 14 (19:54):
Now I just definite now and then I say hi,
every buddy, I'm Nil Sadaka, sometimes even sing some of
his songs.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
You know, I love I Love my Calendar girls. Because
if you start watching these.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Videos these old people, you know, they they're just down
there every day and they're just talking.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Don't do it, You'll get you'll get addicted. Here's one
from Neil. Do you want to hear another one?
Speaker 15 (20:17):
All right, people, I was Johnny Vier all fine with
our first feature fan from the Calendar crew, and here
they are.
Speaker 14 (20:28):
I Love I Love my Calendar Calendar.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
I mean he's like, yes, trending time.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
But you know, people don't think I'm like you think
it adyear is all I'm gonna be on Facebook wing
you know, Character six. I think you're going to be
doing Neil Diamond impersonation Neil Diald. Listen, don't hold anything
against me. I'm very ill with COVID. It's a very
sick house right now. I really don't even know what
(20:58):
I'm saying. Eight minutes after the hour Donald Trump. So
if we were all gonna have a complete conversation past, present,
in future, as we like to do, in the moment,
we might have said, is Donald Trump crazy? Is he
(21:18):
really gonna invade Panama over the canal? Is he really
wanting to make Canada our fifty first date? Is he
really gonna do these tariffs that make it impossible to live?
Speaker 4 (21:30):
I thought we elected him to make it more affordable.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
But remember when it plays out, it ends with, oh,
Canada is not going to be the fifty first date.
Canad needs to secure its border for its own people's sake.
It's got a terrorism threat, it's got a drug problem,
it's got a human trafficking problem. Plus I need him
to protect it because that's where a lot of people
are still coming through. And no, I'm not gonna drive
(21:57):
up cause I just needed Mexico to help and send
some troops. So when it was all said, and done
after everybody made an idiot of themselves. And this one
happened in a matter of minutes hours at the most,
Mexico caved to the threat of tariff, sent ten thousand
troops to the border. Canada caved and named as a
(22:19):
borders are and put one point three billion dollars towards
border security. It was a negotiation, It was not a destination.
We didn't invade Panama. In fact, Panama's relooking at how
it does business with China. Oh and by the way,
our ships have are fee free now. So when things
(22:39):
come up like why all the sudden as he ye know,
given Zelinsky the Hillary treatment, you know, it's just suddenly
bashing Zalinsky.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
You know, you sit there, you're going you.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Know they're gonna all say, you see, I told you
this dictator in Tyrant was in bed with Putin. He's
only talking to Putin now he's Bashin. Zelensky's even accusing
Zi Lensky causing the war. He's saying he was an
average comedian. I mean, what's going on.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
I don't know. Let's wait and see how it plays out.
He's up to something. But in the midst of.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
All this It's like what he's really up to, what
he's really getting to, how he gets there makes you think, wow,
is this the old Trump coming out? And you just
got to give it time. And then every now and
then he'll do one that's just brilliant from the moment
you hear it, and then you realize everything he's been
(23:37):
doing played up to this moment. This is a brilliant walk,
not a spur of the moment idea. The garbage truck's
a great example of that, right right, and I we're
talking off the air. You know, how do you think
the Democrats would have done it? She'd have picked Shapiro
is a running mate. Well, they probably would have got Pennsylvania.
(24:00):
Don't know if they would have got Michigan. I don't
know if it would have in the end changed the outcome,
but it might have made closer. I mean, it didn't
help getting a goofball coach. But you know, does Trump
take every swing state without that garbage truck?
Speaker 4 (24:19):
We'll never know. But it was brilliant. How do you
like my garbage truck? This is like that, this is
a game changer. So everybody's fighting over doge.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
At the end of the day, what are you for
bureaucrats waste it's your money they're wasting.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
And so now shuffle through the matrix. You have the
left obstructing.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
They're making it now, Elon Musk Stoge, they're making it
now a constitutional crisis. And everybody else is like, that's
my money they're wasting.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Yeah, fix that.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
In our sounds a day, even Bill Maher is telling
everybody Elon Musk is a great guy.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
He's a brilliant guy. He just likes to fix things.
But this while you're in the midst of a fight,
he's evil. He's evil. He's evil. No, he's crazy, he's creaty.
He's doing great things for the president, for us.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
In the midst of that argument, the president drops this bomb.
We're even considering doose dividend checks. Can you imagine if
the American people end up getting individually a bigger check,
after all, it was their money that was stolen, their
money that was wasted. If they got a bigger dividend
(25:44):
check for what DOGE cleans up than what the Democrats
gave them.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
To shut down your life during COVID, Wow, that's a
garbage truck.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
I got a pilot stories today, but nothing nothing you will.
You know, it's kind of like, you know people that
jah that big egos on the radio and they're taught
my show, my show?
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Am I wrong? Get me called my show?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Nobody's gonna remember a single thing they said that day. Ever,
in fact, I got news for you. I'll make a
prediction in five years from now, no one will bring
up anything I said about Doge Dividends, anything I said
about Stephen A. Smith and the Democrats identity and platform problem,
none of this. But someone's likely to come up to
(26:40):
me and go, will you do Neil Sedaka, I'm telling you,
mark my words, that's the kind of stuff youple so
in all of this stuff that is a news cycle,
most of it's a step and a process. You can't
understand the step. The step doesn't do anything. You understand
the destination, the direction and the process. Now I can't
(27:03):
tell you today February twenty. It's why Donald Trump is
trying to make an idiot out of Zelenski. But I
think it has something to do with how he's conditioning
Russia and Ukraine for what he's orchestrating. Why just two
days ago everybody was screaming at the top of their lungs.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
You gotta have Europe at the table. They're gonna have
to live with the conditions. Not you, you're being ocean away.
Oh he's going there soon.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Don the docket chilled. I don't know if he really
wants the federal government to run DC. I don't think
he ever really wanted Canada be the fifty first date.
I don't think he wanted to invade Bantama. I just
wanted his fees free and get them to tighten down
on the Shenanigans of China. What's Donald Trump one point
(28:00):
oh creeping back in and getting weird? Or what is
Donald Trump two point oh doing that people don't get
looks crazy on Thursday, but by Monday it's brilliant. There's
a lot of that, But there's one thing. There was
one thing you need to understand today that you will
remember tomorrow. If he's not just floating a crazy idea,
(28:25):
If him and Elon Musk go through and find one
point nine billion dollars of misapplied and two hundred and
sixty million of waste, and that's so far, and they
turn around and divide that by one hundred and sixty
eight million households and you get a big fat check
(28:47):
of like fifteen hundred twenty two hundred dollars. That's an
o wild moment you watch once a check starts coming
to you. How people feel about government efficiency and transparency. Look,
(29:07):
I know when I'm playing checkers, and I know when
I'm playing chess, and I know when I'm about to
lose in chess before the move is even made. You
know that oh crap moment. Ah, And then the guy
does it and you're in checkmate, gang the doge dividend
(29:28):
check that's checkmate. Well, forty seven minutes after the hour.
Speaker 14 (29:38):
Hello everybody, I'm Nil Sadaka with your top five stories.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
I can't stop.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
The RS is going to lay off six thousand employees.
Well that's nothing compared to the eighty five thousand Joe
Biden hired, but Mark Mayfield has details.
Speaker 8 (29:56):
This comes at the busiest time of the year for
the tax collecting agency. The IRS will primarily be letting
go of probationary workers as part of the Trump administration's
efforts to reduce the federal government workforce. It also comes
as multiple reports say Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency
is looking to get access to the IRs' taxpayer data system.
The IRS increased its staff under the Biden administration in
(30:19):
an effort to increase audits of corporations and the wealthy.
I'm Mark Neefield.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Know my listeners have really love me. We'll be on
Facebook watching Neil Sadak. If it, mister, and they too

Lisa Taylor reports.
Speaker 9 (30:40):
French President Emanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer
will visit Washington next week to meet with Trump. This
says European leaders raised flags about Trump's handling of Russia's
war in Ukraine. The President has gone after Ukrainian President Zelenski,
blaming him for starting the conflict with Russia.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
I'm Lisa Taylor.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Okay, Lisa Taylor's always my favorite, but when she puts
on the accent, mackroll. Meanwhile, Governor Kathy Hockel and the
MTA are suing President Trump and the Transportation Secretary.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
How did they meddle with our end to congestion pricing.
Speaker 16 (31:14):
Hockel told news reporters she got the news via email,
a letter from Secretary Sean Duffy, and within minutes she
and the MTA filed suit.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
They were ready.
Speaker 11 (31:24):
I'm very confident of be successful, and I also want
to say the cameras are staying.
Speaker 4 (31:29):

sixty years. It didn't work. It caused our economy billions.

booming for restaurants, broadway shows, and taxi drivers.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
I'm Sarah Lee Kessler.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
You know people always say, you know, what's the funny
thing here? Well, you know, I've seen a lot of
great comedy. Chris Rock had a special one time. Eddie
Murphy had two Richard Pryor masterpiece. Sebashia Maniscalcos had a
couple of masterpieces.
Speaker 11 (32:06):
Do you know what.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
I was six years old, my brother was eight. We
were sitting down listening to the Wedding album with Chiechin
Chong and I don't know that. I've ever and sixty
years laughed harder than that. And guess what they're back.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
So is this a documentary or a movie? I don't know, man.
All we can do is be funny.
Speaker 10 (32:23):
The first trailer for Cheachin Chong's Last Movie was released Wednesday.
It shows Cheech and Chong driving through the desert while
reminiscing about their careers. The duo has made more than
two dozen movies together, dating back to their nineteen seventy
eight debut Up in Smoke.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
It's a giant hit, giant It's not hard to see
what drugs do to you again, make it rich, Cheachin
Chong's Last Movie.
Speaker 10 (32:45):
We'll have a limited release on April twentieth, followed by
a nationwide release April twenty fifth. I'm Dave Days not here,
I'm Michael Cassner.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Whether it's men's or women's, the USA versus Canada usually
goes Canada's way. Didn't in the Four Nations face off
earlier in the week, and after Canada mocked the United States,
they may have given the USA more to play for.
We'll find out. The finals are tonight, USA Canada, seven o'clock.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
Go USA.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Birthdays, Pop singer Olivia or Rodrigo twenty two years old,
Rhianna thirty seven. Sir Charles, you know I remember Charles
Barkley single handedly beating LSUN Psychologies Stoppable six sixty two
years old today and the infamous Patty Hurst. Which I
love about that story was everybody's looking for this rich heiress.
(33:33):
They think she's been kidnapped. They'd find her robbing banks.
Then they still can't find her. Where does she turn up?
And Bill Walton's apartment.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
You can't make this stuff up.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
This is your Morning show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 15 (33:48):
Hello everybody, It's Field in New York and my morning show,
No Morning show with My.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Days the Canada Boy Michael del Jorno. Oh my, that's
really nails to Doca. That wasn't me.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Why is that stuck in my head? You know what,
John Decker, I think COVID is starting to have an
effect on me. We may all soon be paying an
extra twenty five percent for on Toyota or Mercedes. There
are other cars manufactured overseas. This can't be the endgame
of Donald Trump. Make already unaffordable vehicles more unaffordable.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (34:23):
John Well?
Speaker 12 (34:25):
You're right when you talk about unaffordable. The average price
of a new car in twenty twenty four was forty
eight thousand dollars. You slap a twenty five percent tariff
on that, you're now talking about a sixty thousand dollars car,
and that certainly could impact demand for new imported cars.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Here in the United States.
Speaker 12 (34:46):
And the endgame of well, I was gonna say.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
I was just gonna say, and that's the average if
you get a normal car like you're used to having,
you're talking about more than my first mortgage, my first home.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Yeah, it's crazy, Yeah.
Speaker 12 (34:57):
Extremely expensive. And you know, I don't know what President
Trump's endgame is. He says that he will announce these
new twenty five percent tariffs on April to second. Perhaps
it's just to move more manufacturing of those imported cars
here in the US. You know about all of those
imported car plants that are here in America. BMW has
(35:19):
South Carolina, Mercedes has Alabama, and you see other foreign
manufacturing taking place here in the United States, and these
right to work states in particular, more of that may happen.
Maybe that's the endgame for the president, but that certainly
will lead to a potentially retaliatory tariffs happening in the
(35:42):
countries where these countries where these companies are based.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Sorry was such a short time. I'm playing around doing
Neil Sadaka, but we'll talk more for the project. I
may bring this up again tomorrow. If this is the
end game for the president and jobs and manufacturing that's important,
it needs to start explaining it or I'm going to
assume it's part of a negotia ciation.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
A time will tell you. John Decker is always great reporting.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
We're all in this together. This is your morning Show
