Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show could be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern and 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 two three starting your morning off right,
(00:20):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in the stage. This is your morning show
with Michael Bill Jordan. I got over an hour of
rem sleep, over an hour of deep sleep. I got
a half a back of Nicorett Gum, it's nighttime. I'm
wearing sunglasses, and I got the Whordlin four. I got
(00:42):
connections in one. Oh, this is how we're going to
begin today. Ready, boys, let's go seven minutes after the hour. Yeah,
something about being up covering the state of the Union,
you would think, all right, I got up the area Storda.
We've just been able to take a nap, and I
just couldn't. I mean, I was tired a mobile but
couldn't fall asleep until later my normal bedtime. But I
(01:06):
do feel a little rested.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Anyway, you guys, I recommend that you watch a little
burnt peanut on YouTube and you will be asleep within minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Get them, You'll always bring up burnt peanut. What is it?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
He's my new obsession on YouTube, he says, Is it funny?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
He is a peanut avatar? He plays video games, Mike,
He's making a million dollars off of playing video games.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
So he sits and plays video games. Yeah, looks like
a peanut. Yes, and is getting rich yes, And we're
getting no sleep right slaving over microphones? Huh. I'm not rich.
Are you rich? I'm not rich? But this is what
makes the burnt peanut rich. He just does stuff like
that well while he's on the mic. It's the craziest
(01:50):
thing you've ever seen. We got a lot of serious
stuff to talk about today, but I have to come
back to this later and figure out how on earth
did you find it's a burn? I mean, no second thought,
I don't want to know. I want to know what
my algorithm is up to. Not together. One Clinton today,
another tomorrow scheduled to sit through depositions in the House
probe of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The US is putting
(02:13):
on new sanctions with Iran coming up on our polls
of plenty six and a half out of ten Americans
believe we're going to airstrike in Iran. I put that
number some around ninety nine point nine. Secretary of State
Marco Rubio says the US is investigating why the Cuban
Coastguard opened fire on a Florida registered speedboat, killing all
(02:35):
four on board, killing four on board Injuring six. This
is like a bay of pigs. Things beat pigs, thing brwing. Okay,
So Cuba is saying, we identified seven of the ten
Cuban nationals from the US and they were all armed,
like this was a bay of pigs, invasion of ten.
(02:57):
I guess it is their cover story. Marco Rue, as
you can only imagine, isn't going to be trusting Cuba's story,
but leading the investigation. A federal judge is ruling the
Trump administration policy of deporting immigrants to countries that aren't
their own as unlawful. All right, here's a question for them,
what if their country won't take them back? And that's
(03:17):
a tough question for you because you don't believe any
of them are dangerous, But what if that's the case,
then what And I guess there's no greater sign of
a dead end than the FBI and law enforcement in
Arizona have turned Nancy Guthrie's home back over to her family.
Obviously they wanted their mother back, not her home. This
(03:38):
would indicate perhaps this investigation has gone cold and reached
a dead end, and the northeast could get hit by
more snow wearing at rain here in Middle Tennessee all day.
I suspect that snow where it's colder to the north
and the east just what they need. Right. I mentioned
(04:00):
polls of plenty we have sixty five percent expecting that
airstrike on Iran probably the more significant one. And this
needs to be kind of broken down and understood. But
two thirds of those watching the State of the Union
approved of the speech. Now, keep in mind, there are
certainly Americans that follow news and political events like this
(04:27):
all the time, year round, year in and out, and
then there are a lot of Americans that don't follow
politics at all until a week before the election, and
then there are some who never do. It could be that,
and again I couldn't possibly know. Well, I guess you
(04:50):
could break down. Did they break down? Jet read in
the poll if how many of them by their registered party,
because your first assumption would be, well, of course nobody
was watching but Trump fans, And of course that's not true.
What the exact percentage is, I don't know if you
(05:11):
you found it or put it in the notes. Probably
should have gone here this early in the morning. I'm
nearly when it's got enough rem but two thirds of
course approved of the speech. If that was predominantly Republicans
in that number would be averaged to really insignificant. If
(05:33):
that's America watching and two thirds of the room on
some of these issues that we know are eighty twenty
hills with the American people, and the Democrats were behaving
that way and went all that way to say this.
Juckie Schumer is standing by everyone who misbehaves. Ilhan Omar
of course, is standing behind her and Talib's behavior. Nobody
(05:58):
knows what al Green is thinking. Al Green doesn't think,
but they're not distancing themselves from it. And the speech itself,
for being long, was good because of the American storytelling throughout.
(06:20):
So any state of the Union wants to claim victories,
laser focus on the things left to be done, inspire
you have people in the gallery to prove your accomplishments,
to prove the work that still needs to be done,
(06:41):
and to tell stories of inspiration. I think, as you know,
the structure of a speech goes look in life, we
usually fail not because we don't know what to do.
We fail because we don't do what we know. I
(07:02):
could probably teach a speech class at a university level
and that would be you know, we would go over
that room and a state of the union. What must
be in there, the shell, the architecture of what a
speech is. Does that mean we get it every year? No?
But you did. You did Tuesday night, and in compelling
(07:28):
fashion when you have the mother of the most viral
video of the year, a girl who left a war torn,
violent place to come and be safe in America and
is sitting quietly on a train and then just stabbed
a dead death senselessly, and you have her mother. Or
(07:54):
two doors swing open and your Olympic gold medal miracle
team comes down. Or how about a one hundred year
old veteran whose birth can touch the death of Thomas Jefferson,
which links us to the beginning of our country. As
(08:15):
you're making a two hundred fifty year message. I mean,
it really just was not just structurally sound, it was
well built in fact, so Trump like in just the
finest of appointments. Now, I couldn't possibly tell you how
(08:36):
many were watching to see what Democrats would do, but
presumably based on the number, because it'd be one hundred
percent approval if it was MAGA. Clearly there are some
older or establishment Democrats who were watching, or the radicals
(08:58):
were boycotting, but peaking one or the other. And there's
a great line. I shouldn't even bring this up because
the Harvard University president is stepping down in disgrace after
revelations in the Epstein file. But there was a line
in the Social Network movie where the Harvard president says,
(09:21):
and you were doing this when you should have been
doing what? So it kind of begs the question, Okay,
so you're not in the chamber with all the branches
of government, all the Cabinet, all the military, chiefs of staff,
and the Supreme Court hearing the state of our union
(09:42):
and representing your people. You're not doing that, but you're
doing what well for one Oregon Democrat this.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I am a physician, and I have a flag, and
I am the proud representative for Oregon's third Congressional district. Yes,
thank you, thank you, And tonight I defy Trump and
his authoritarian project by standing in joyful, radical, peaceful resistance
(10:25):
with the Portland Frog Brigade.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Just hanging with the Portland Frog Brigade. Don't try tax season.
In fact, Monica Nelson's going to join us this year
brings a lot of positive opportunities. The turmoil in the world,
everyone's thinking war is coming somewhere, and they're even betting
on it in America. Roy O'Neil has that story, of course.
(10:49):
More Sounds of the Day, John Decker from the White House.
Members of the Trump A. Cabbem Cabinet. In the hours
since the State of the Union address, John Deckert spent
a lot of time with three or four of them yesterday.
We'll see how that went. And David bonson you all
this talk about the President kind of completing his vision
(11:12):
when it comes to the tariffs, I think the President
could have set it up this way from the beginning.
I mean, you guys know how this works at a
state level, right, either of income tax or you live
off sales tax. It seems ferry pays you by of course,
a lot of states do high sales tax and high
(11:34):
income tax because they can't stop being enough and they
need more and more money to pay for what they are.
But if the president's vision is ultimately to use the
tariff revenue to replace all income tax, the first question
is how would that work? And is it possible? We'll
do that with our economist David Bonson, and the President
(11:57):
concluded that statement with as it used to be, Well,
that begs a history lesson to historian William Federer will
go on the history of taxation in America. That more
coming up between now and the end of the Third Hour. Israel.
It's a hot topic, especially right now, and with so
many opinions and so many emotions out there surrounding it,
(12:18):
and it can be hard to know where to start.
I recommend you start with God's word, and the Bible
says I will bless those who bless you, I will
curse those who curse you. This isn't a comforting promise.
It's a clear calling. And that doesn't mean support the
(12:38):
current Israeli government on anything or everything they do. It's
okay to have disagreements, but you don't remove your support
for the Jewish people or the Sacred Land. At a
time when Jewish communities are experiencing more hostility, more threats,
more violence than ever. As believers, we have a powerful
(12:59):
opportunity to respond.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
You can join in the anti Semitic hate crowd, or
you can stand up against the hate and stand in
God's love for his people. Supporting Israel is more than
a political belief or position. It's a biblical mandate. And
when you partner with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews,
(13:23):
you can push back against darkness. You can be the
light of God's people. I guess what I'm asking you
do is be the blessing, live the word, and answer
the call. If you want to learn how you can
bless Israel, go to IFCJ International Fellowship of Christians and
Jews IFCJ dot org. That's IFC dot org. Today. This
(13:50):
is your Morning Show with Michael del Chune. Just waking
up the Cuban Embassy in the US. As those on
board that Florida registered speedboat intercepted by the country's Coastguard.
We're trying to infiltrate Cuba for terrorist purposes. More from
Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
The embassy says the boat was detected in territorial waters
near Cuba, and when border guard troops approached the vessel,
they were shot at, prompting them to return fire, where
people on board the boat were killed and six others
were injured. According to the embassy, Some of those on
board have been identified as Cuba nationals residing in the US.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday he can't
take Cuba's reports about the event at face value, adding
(14:30):
that the US will get to the bottom of what
happened and share the findings with President Trump.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I'm Mark Mayfield. They're on thin ice right now. Imagine
jumping on it. That's Cuba. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. She's defending
her decision to hackle the president during the State of
the Union address.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
The congresswoman yelled out during the remarks you have killed Americans,
as Trump declared a war on fraud while alluding to
Minnesota's welfare scandal. Omar told CNNs Wolf Splitzer, the President
talked about protecting Americans, and I just had to remind
him that his administration was responsible for killing two of
my constituents. She also shared that she stands with Texas
(15:06):
Congressman Al Green, who was ejected from the chamber during
the speech while holding a sign that read black people
aren't apes. The sign was in reference to a now
deleted video posted to Trump's social media depicting former President
Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes. I'm
Chris Karagio. Yeah, I don't know that Chris intended that,
But that's part of the problem right there.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
The video is about a completely different subject. That's what
was posted on purpose. At the very end, as reels do,
it goes to the next Should that first two seconds
have been edited? Of course? Was it? No, And that's
why it was removed. But the President of the United
States did not post the video that they're saying. So
(15:52):
now you're walking around with a sign saying the Obamas
aren't apes. Donald Tryn never said they were. And we
all know what those two individuals did to get themselves shot,
and that if we did it today, we'd get shot.
(16:13):
You know, at a time we're in Iran or Cuba
or other places, people are killed. Think about Iran, thirty
thousand are slaughtered for their political position, and you live
in a country that doesn't do that. And you create
these false narratives and then you live by it. It's insane.
Nancy Guthrie's home has been turned back to the family.
(16:34):
That's a sure sign of a case gone cold and
a dead end.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
NBC News is reporting law enforcement no longer sees the
need to seal the premises as a crime scene or
restrict the family from being able to go into the
Tucson home. This as the search in southern Arizona for
the eighty four year old mother of Today host Savannah
Guthrie is in its fourth week. The family has raised
the reward related to the recovery of her to one
(16:58):
million dollars. Nancy Guthrie has been missing since February first.
I'm Jim Rooper.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Birthdays Today. Singer Michael Bolton is seventy three years old.
NFL great Marshall Fulk is fifty three. And if it's
your birthday, Happy birthday. So glad you were born. Thanks
for making your morning show a part of your big day.
This is Kay from Surprise, Arizona.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
My morning show is your morning show with Michael del Jiorno.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Hey, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live five to eight am Central six to nine Eastern
and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio, or Columbus, Georgia.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
and we're grateful you're here. Now. Enjoy the podcast. Riizin
shin Ernie Bird gets some warm sleepy squirrel missus. The
President certainly hit a home run with the State of
(17:53):
the Union. He'll hit a grand slam tomorrow. Don't miss
Friday with forty seven third hour tomorrow on your morning show.
Can't have your morning show without your voice. That's why
I encourage people to, you know, take your place at
the kitchen table. This isn't like every other talk show
you listen to. It's called your Morning Show because we're
here to serve you. We're not here talking to ourselves
(18:15):
or thinking we're the greatest thing on the face of
the earth. And you're lucky to be able to overhear
us speak. Yes, everybody there, Yes, I'm here there. Oh well,
don't do it that way. But if you go, if
you're listening on the iHeart app and you click that microphone,
it'll count you down three to two to one, and
it give you to thirty seconds to make a comment
(18:35):
or ask a question and be a part of a
show that belongs to you. Can also email Michael diat
iHeartMedia dot com to kfy I in Phoenix, Arizona. Michael,
you're on, Michael.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
I just want to say it's good to know that
you actually listen to those breakaway reports so many times
on my Phoenix station when they break away for these
news updates. The tone of voice when it's a t
win or positive is horrible. In anything it has to
be liberal. They're super pumped about and there's a lot
(19:08):
of misreporting all the time.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Thanks for putting there out. Thank you, Michael. There's two
ways to handle that, of course, and let's say nothing
that is go to management and address the cause of
the problem. Somebody, we're all biased. I'm biased. If you
don't think my biblical worldview impacts how I see everything,
(19:32):
how I digest everything, you'd be nuts. Of course they do.
But there is a way to have an opinion of view,
a way of looking at things, and then still do
your job. And if it's laziness or if it's intentional,
it has to be called out. It can't be left. Now.
(19:56):
If Donald Trump and he's done some things I've disagreed with.
Neither of these are on him. He did not go
and find an unfunny well I can't say unfunny, but
inappropriate funny AI thing that depicts the Obamas as apes
and all the politicians as different animals to the lion
(20:20):
sleeps tonight. If he had posted that intentionally, then you
can walk around with a sign at a State of
the Union saying the Obamas are not apes. But when
the President posts a story about a serious issue that
lasts for minutes and the very tail end has the
start of the next video because it wasn't edited tight,
(20:44):
it's not the same thing, and you shouldn't report it was.
Speaker 8 (20:50):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
If any reporter continues to do it so consistently, and
there's one I've got my eye on, I just stop
using them, or I let people above me know why
I'm not using them. But I can tell you, unlike
other companies I've worked for and had to carry news of,
this company is different, and they make every effort to
(21:15):
weed it out, and when they miss a weed, I
acknowledge it. I just want to make sure those of
us around this kitchen table were never duped or fooled.
I don't always like what the truth reveals, but the
truth is a standard. Thirty nine minutes after the hour,
(21:38):
you saw the President state of you, and you bring
up things like no tax on tips, that's a mission accomplished,
No tax on overtime, that's a mission accomplished. No tax
on Social Security, that's a mission accomplished for our seniors.
There are a lot of other things that point to
higher returns, more money left in your pocket. Translation, tax
(22:04):
season doesn't have to be stressful. It doesn't have to
be dreaded as previous year. This year is different and
brings a lot of positive opportunities. Monica Nelson has been
digging into some of those, and she joins us, now,
good morning, Monica, Well, hello, good morning. Did you find
some good news before I turple my way through another
tax season?
Speaker 4 (22:25):
I know, Well, it's time to really pull out the paper,
get excited because you're probably going to get money back
this year.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Let's just keep our fingers crossed, all right.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
The irs has done a few things. The standard deduction
has increased to sixteen one hundred dollars for single filers
thirty two thousand, two hundred dollars for married couples.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
That that's a chunk, you know. Yeah, well, yeah, I
don't know. By the way, I don't know that the
intent was to offset and admit to the cost of tariffs.
But let me just say if you and I do
believe tariffs are attacks, matter how you cut it, and
it's a tax paid by somebody, the companies, the manufacturers,
(23:05):
or the consumers. If it's the consumers, that's money out
of your pocket. If it's the companies, it could be
a job out of your pocket because they got to
cover these costs some ways, so they have less profit
that means less hiring. So but even if it was,
these savings are much greater than what anybody could have
put a pen to the cost of tariffs. But I
(23:26):
mean these are significant. The lad up to be a lot.
I mean, people that have been on the edge probably
are going to get a nice return. People that always
get a return are going to get bigger return. And
if you've been knowing, well you may not or may
yeah a lot less as much.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
The health savings account adjustment has gone up to thirty
four hundred dollars, so hopefully everyone takes advantage of that
if they have that through their company.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
There's an adoption credit.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
The maximum now rows to over seventeen grand that covers
eligible adoption related expenses, which is kind of nice. And
you brought up the no tax on tips. People could
deduct up to twenty five thou thousand dollars of qualified tips.
That's kind of amazing, no tax over time before you
rush past the tips.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
This may sound odd, but if I was a piano player,
there'd be a cup you could walk up and tip me.
If I was a waiter and I was serving you
food instead of information and understanding, you would tip me.
Why don't we tip our talk show hosts, right, maybe
we'll do a tip line. I need to tip Jeff
(24:33):
and Red for sure.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Maybe I.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Would be I think I would be a I would
be a terrible waiter. I've done charity events where I'm
a waiter, and you know, I just can't resent. You know,
I was once a a bank teller and I got
fired when I was like nineteen years old. I was
a great bank teller. I balanced out every night. I
was very very good, and I dressed very well. But
(24:58):
when they fired me, I said, well, so what have
I done wrong? Well? You like to joke with the customers.
People when you're dealing with their money, like someone to
be serious. That's why I got fired. So I think
as a waiter it spent too much time at the
table joking around. But that's why I don't get tips.
All right, So we had the tips, we have the overtime.
We also have the no text on Social Security.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Yeah, and if you're over sixty five, you could qualify
for an additional six thousand dollars standard deduction that was
out this year.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
So a lot of seniors really excited this year for
tax time.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
And if you bought a new car, that would be
amer though yeah, it has to be made in America.
The final process, I guess you could deduct up to
ten thousand dollars of interest with that, and oh, anyone
that was in like the Texas bloods, those terrible disasters
that have taken place. DIRS is giving people extra time
(25:51):
to file and helping them with other resources, so that's
kind of nice. If you make under eighty four grand,
you can file for just right through the IRS dot
gub website. If you are a student, you can claim
student loan interest payments up to twenty five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
There's a lot of opportunities here. Yeah, it's really not
to be as dreaded as years past, that's for sure.
There was a huge exchange on CNN. I don't think
it's going to make sounds the day. I've got too
many good ones. But CNN thought it was being cute.
And they're playing clips of Biden's speech and then back
to back with clips of Trump's speech, and what they're
saying is they're bostht saying the same thing. And then
(26:31):
they then it's like a big gotcha moment. They turned
to Scott Jennings and they go, Scott, what do you
make of this? And Scott's response was, well, one's lying
and one's telling the truth. That's the difference. I mean
everything that Donald Trump in a State of the Union
speech put in the bank as a mission accomplished, really
has been done. He's not saying things to pander. These
(26:53):
are things already done. Everything Monica just outlined for you
are things the president has done and your Congress has
gotten through. That will not be the case if the
elections go the wrong way come November. But I don't
want to make partisan politics out of it. It is
tax season. I know it's stressful, and I know you
(27:14):
dread it, but this year there are a ton of
differences and a ton of positive opportunities. And I suspect
you're not going to owe as much or you might
be shocked how much is coming back. It all adds up.
If you're aware, then that's what Monica want to make
sure you were aware. What.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Yes, well, and I know you're pretty generous too. Just
remember that that you can reduce your taxes by being
even more generous because your charitable contributions, you know, can
be written off if they're you know, not like if
you're giving clothes to Goodwill or something. Don't bother I
mean bother with that. But don't think that this is
(27:55):
always like write a check, give some cash, have a
record of it, and that goes above and beyond your
standard deduction.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah, they tried to trick Jesus to get political, and
he just said, give to Caesar what is Caesar? And
give to God what is God? The ten percent tithe
obviously is our obedience to God for being our provider.
We give all to him is what Christ was after.
But that ten percent, your four to oh one k
you brought up health savings, those are the whenever I
(28:26):
talk to young people, and I certainly of course my
kids listen to everybody, but me, I can't stress enough.
Between the tithe, the four to oh one K and
health savings alone, you set yourself up pretty smart. And
when it comes to Texas. But what the President has
done for us an addition to that this year, pretty
exciting stuff. So don't dread it, be positive, don't worry,
(28:49):
be happy. Monica, thank you so much. We'll talk again tomorrow. Okay, thanks, gotcha,
pre morn eighty thousand is the number. Thanks to you,
last year, Preborn rescued eighty thousand babies. They're alive today,
and today we can help save even more. I pray.
(29:11):
So it really is based in a lie. Every single day,
thousands and thousands of women in a pro choice culture,
although the death choice is the only choice that's respected
and validated, they're told to lie. Abortion is your only option,
and you are all alone and there is no hope,
So naturally they choose death. But everything changes the moment
(29:33):
the mother in crisis walks into a Preborn Network clinic.
Why first, she sees her baby on an ultrasound. That
moment alone doubles the chances of choosing life. She sees eyes, lips, nose, fingers, face,
and it's not just an image on a screen. For
most of them, they're hearing their babies heartbeat for the
(29:55):
first time, and something sacred happens. They realize the life
growing inside them is not a problem to be solved.
It's a life to be protected. Let me say that again.
The life that is growing inside of them is not
a problem to be solved. It is a life to
be protected. And we make that moment possible. Just twenty
(30:18):
eight dollars, that's all you can give this year. Twenty
eight dollars. You can provide a life saving ultrasound. You
could save a single life one hundred and forty obviously

(31:01):
morn than Michael. This is Chuck and Yukon. Why does
Monica sound so much like Mary from Boys? Oh, there's
only one Mary, Mike. I appreciate you kind of sid
That was Mike and Yukon, Right, I got the name.
That's right. No, Chuck, Chuck, and you cut Chuck. That's
what I thought. I knew I said the wrong name,
and I said it. There's nothing worse than saying the
(31:22):
wrong name. Thanks for noticing how close Chuck. But no,
there's only there's only one Mary. Fifty three minutes after
the offer, just waking up. The Clintons will soon sit
for their deposition and the House probe of the Jeffrey
Epstein investigation. No at the same time, but soon both
one today, one tomorrow, Mark Mayfield reports.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
Republican Oversight Committee Chair James Comer conferves former Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton will be deposed Thursday, followed by former
President Bill Clinton on Friday. The Clinton's agreed to the
videotape to sit down at the eleventh hour earlier this month,
just as the House was set to vote on whether
to hold the Clinton's and criminal contempt of Congress were
skipping their earlier deposition date the Clinton's saying they're being
(32:03):
selectively prosecuted by the Republicans on the committee.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
A Mark Matfield, a federal activist, judge, is ruling the
Trump administration's policy of deporting migrants to countries that aren't
their own is unlawful. Tammy Trihio has more.
Speaker 9 (32:16):
In the ruling, the judge said the Department of Homeland
Security is acting unlawfully when it deports immigrants to third
countries that they aren't from without giving them the opportunity
to object. A group of non citizens filed a class
actional lawsuit against DHS last year. In siding with the group,
the judge ruled the policy must be set aside. The
ruling has paused, though, for fifteen days, to allow the
(32:37):
Trump administration to appeal. I'm Tammy Triheos just.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Centered the judges house. The Department of Justice has arrested
a former Air Force pilot, accusing him of training Chinese
military pilots.
Speaker 7 (32:48):
Gerald Eddie Brown Junior is being charged for providing and
conspiring to provide defense services to Chinese military pilots without authorization.
The Department says this violent I did the Arms Export
Control Act. Brown left active duty thirty years ago the
DOJ saying he flew combat missions and was involved with
(33:09):
units that had jurisdiction over nuclear weapons.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I'm Jim Roop, John Couger, John Cougar, Mellencamp or just
John Mellencamp. All three of them are slamming the Grammys
come good.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
During a recent appearance on Bill Maher's Club Random podcast,
the musician admitted that the awards mean nothing to him.
He said, do you know what a golden Globe is
or a Grammy? It means nothing. It means less than nothing.
Mellencamp did say, you appreciated the Grammy Museum, which has
three locations, but the awards are something he's not interested in.
The singer has been nominated for fourteen Grammys and won
(33:50):
one award in nineteen eighty three thanks to a song
Hurts So Good. It earned him the award for Best
Male Rock Performer. I'm Mark Mayfield. Well, you already know
so much about my sleep. An hour in thirty minutes
of IRAM, fifty five minutes of deep sleep, seven hours
of total sleep. If you're looking for better quality sleep,
(34:12):
all you really need.
Speaker 10 (34:13):
Is a pet psychologists say allowing your pet to share
your bed will enhance feelings of security, comfort, and reduces
anxiety and loneliness. A Mayo Clinic study says co sleeping
with your pet improves your quality of sleep by about
eighty three percent, but that co sleeping does have a downside.
Some pets hog the pillow, the blanket and snore, and
(34:33):
the Cleveland Clinics says all that fur and pet dander
needs to hit the washer at least once a week,
but it's probably worth it.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
I'm pre tennis my English bulldog Joey. He used to
sleep and bed with me side by side on my
dad with his hat on the pillow, and it'd be
the middle of the night. It'd be quiet and also
need to hear like and then you'd hear them going.
It was like literally sleeping with the good, nasty old man.
(35:02):
Oh how I loved him and missing We're all in
this together. This is your Morning Show with Michael del
Joano
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show could be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern and 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 two three starting your morning off right,
(00:20):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in the stage. This is your morning show
with Michael Bill Jordan. I got over an hour of
rem sleep, over an hour of deep sleep. I got
a half a back of Nicorett Gum, it's nighttime. I'm
wearing sunglasses, and I got the Whordlin four. I got
(00:42):
connections in one. Oh, this is how we're going to
begin today. Ready, boys, let's go seven minutes after the hour. Yeah,
something about being up covering the state of the Union,
you would think, all right, I got up the area Storda.
We've just been able to take a nap, and I
just couldn't. I mean, I was tired a mobile but
couldn't fall asleep until later my normal bedtime. But I
(01:06):
do feel a little rested.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Anyway, you guys, I recommend that you watch a little
burnt peanut on YouTube and you will be asleep within minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Get them, You'll always bring up burnt peanut. What is it?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
He's my new obsession on YouTube, he says, Is it funny?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
He is a peanut avatar? He plays video games, Mike,
He's making a million dollars off of playing video games.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
So he sits and plays video games. Yeah, looks like
a peanut. Yes, and is getting rich yes, And we're
getting no sleep right slaving over microphones? Huh. I'm not rich.
Are you rich? I'm not rich? But this is what
makes the burnt peanut rich. He just does stuff like
that well while he's on the mic. It's the craziest
(01:50):
thing you've ever seen. We got a lot of serious
stuff to talk about today, but I have to come
back to this later and figure out how on earth
did you find it's a burn? I mean, no second thought,
I don't want to know. I want to know what
my algorithm is up to. Not together. One Clinton today,
another tomorrow scheduled to sit through depositions in the House
probe of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The US is putting
(02:13):
on new sanctions with Iran coming up on our polls
of plenty six and a half out of ten Americans
believe we're going to airstrike in Iran. I put that
number some around ninety nine point nine. Secretary of State
Marco Rubio says the US is investigating why the Cuban
Coastguard opened fire on a Florida registered speedboat, killing all
(02:35):
four on board, killing four on board Injuring six. This
is like a bay of pigs. Things beat pigs, thing brwing. Okay,
So Cuba is saying, we identified seven of the ten
Cuban nationals from the US and they were all armed,
like this was a bay of pigs, invasion of ten.
(02:57):
I guess it is their cover story. Marco Rue, as
you can only imagine, isn't going to be trusting Cuba's story,
but leading the investigation. A federal judge is ruling the
Trump administration policy of deporting immigrants to countries that aren't
their own as unlawful. All right, here's a question for them,
what if their country won't take them back? And that's
(03:17):
a tough question for you because you don't believe any
of them are dangerous, But what if that's the case,
then what And I guess there's no greater sign of
a dead end than the FBI and law enforcement in
Arizona have turned Nancy Guthrie's home back over to her family.
Obviously they wanted their mother back, not her home. This
(03:38):
would indicate perhaps this investigation has gone cold and reached
a dead end, and the northeast could get hit by
more snow wearing at rain here in Middle Tennessee all day.
I suspect that snow where it's colder to the north
and the east just what they need. Right. I mentioned
(04:00):
polls of plenty we have sixty five percent expecting that
airstrike on Iran probably the more significant one. And this
needs to be kind of broken down and understood. But
two thirds of those watching the State of the Union
approved of the speech. Now, keep in mind, there are
certainly Americans that follow news and political events like this
(04:27):
all the time, year round, year in and out, and
then there are a lot of Americans that don't follow
politics at all until a week before the election, and
then there are some who never do. It could be that,
and again I couldn't possibly know. Well, I guess you
(04:50):
could break down. Did they break down? Jet read in
the poll if how many of them by their registered party,
because your first assumption would be, well, of course nobody
was watching but Trump fans, And of course that's not true.
What the exact percentage is, I don't know if you
(05:11):
you found it or put it in the notes. Probably
should have gone here this early in the morning. I'm
nearly when it's got enough rem but two thirds of
course approved of the speech. If that was predominantly Republicans
in that number would be averaged to really insignificant. If
(05:33):
that's America watching and two thirds of the room on
some of these issues that we know are eighty twenty
hills with the American people, and the Democrats were behaving
that way and went all that way to say this.
Juckie Schumer is standing by everyone who misbehaves. Ilhan Omar
of course, is standing behind her and Talib's behavior. Nobody
(05:58):
knows what al Green is thinking. Al Green doesn't think,
but they're not distancing themselves from it. And the speech itself,
for being long, was good because of the American storytelling throughout.
(06:20):
So any state of the Union wants to claim victories,
laser focus on the things left to be done, inspire
you have people in the gallery to prove your accomplishments,
to prove the work that still needs to be done,
(06:41):
and to tell stories of inspiration. I think, as you know,
the structure of a speech goes look in life, we
usually fail not because we don't know what to do.
We fail because we don't do what we know. I
(07:02):
could probably teach a speech class at a university level
and that would be you know, we would go over
that room and a state of the union. What must
be in there, the shell, the architecture of what a
speech is. Does that mean we get it every year? No?
But you did. You did Tuesday night, and in compelling
(07:28):
fashion when you have the mother of the most viral
video of the year, a girl who left a war torn,
violent place to come and be safe in America and
is sitting quietly on a train and then just stabbed
a dead death senselessly, and you have her mother. Or
(07:54):
two doors swing open and your Olympic gold medal miracle
team comes down. Or how about a one hundred year
old veteran whose birth can touch the death of Thomas Jefferson,
which links us to the beginning of our country. As
(08:15):
you're making a two hundred fifty year message. I mean,
it really just was not just structurally sound, it was
well built in fact, so Trump like in just the
finest of appointments. Now, I couldn't possibly tell you how
(08:36):
many were watching to see what Democrats would do, but
presumably based on the number, because it'd be one hundred
percent approval if it was MAGA. Clearly there are some
older or establishment Democrats who were watching, or the radicals
(08:58):
were boycotting, but peaking one or the other. And there's
a great line. I shouldn't even bring this up because
the Harvard University president is stepping down in disgrace after
revelations in the Epstein file. But there was a line
in the Social Network movie where the Harvard president says,
(09:21):
and you were doing this when you should have been
doing what? So it kind of begs the question, Okay,
so you're not in the chamber with all the branches
of government, all the Cabinet, all the military, chiefs of staff,
and the Supreme Court hearing the state of our union
(09:42):
and representing your people. You're not doing that, but you're
doing what well for one Oregon Democrat this.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I am a physician, and I have a flag, and
I am the proud representative for Oregon's third Congressional district. Yes,
thank you, thank you, And tonight I defy Trump and
his authoritarian project by standing in joyful, radical, peaceful resistance
(10:25):
with the Portland Frog Brigade.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Just hanging with the Portland Frog Brigade. Don't try tax season.
In fact, Monica Nelson's going to join us this year
brings a lot of positive opportunities. The turmoil in the world,
everyone's thinking war is coming somewhere, and they're even betting
on it in America. Roy O'Neil has that story, of course.
(10:49):
More Sounds of the Day, John Decker from the White House.
Members of the Trump A. Cabbem Cabinet. In the hours
since the State of the Union address, John Deckert spent
a lot of time with three or four of them yesterday.
We'll see how that went. And David bonson you all
this talk about the President kind of completing his vision
(11:12):
when it comes to the tariffs, I think the President
could have set it up this way from the beginning.
I mean, you guys know how this works at a
state level, right, either of income tax or you live
off sales tax. It seems ferry pays you by of course,
a lot of states do high sales tax and high
(11:34):
income tax because they can't stop being enough and they
need more and more money to pay for what they are.
But if the president's vision is ultimately to use the
tariff revenue to replace all income tax, the first question
is how would that work? And is it possible? We'll
do that with our economist David Bonson, and the President
(11:57):
concluded that statement with as it used to be, Well,
that begs a history lesson to historian William Federer will
go on the history of taxation in America. That more
coming up between now and the end of the Third Hour. Israel.
It's a hot topic, especially right now, and with so
many opinions and so many emotions out there surrounding it,
(12:18):
and it can be hard to know where to start.
I recommend you start with God's word, and the Bible
says I will bless those who bless you, I will
curse those who curse you. This isn't a comforting promise.
It's a clear calling. And that doesn't mean support the
(12:38):
current Israeli government on anything or everything they do. It's
okay to have disagreements, but you don't remove your support
for the Jewish people or the Sacred Land. At a
time when Jewish communities are experiencing more hostility, more threats,
more violence than ever. As believers, we have a powerful
(12:59):
opportunity to respond.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
You can join in the anti Semitic hate crowd, or
you can stand up against the hate and stand in
God's love for his people. Supporting Israel is more than
a political belief or position. It's a biblical mandate. And
when you partner with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews,
(13:23):
you can push back against darkness. You can be the
light of God's people. I guess what I'm asking you
do is be the blessing, live the word, and answer
the call. If you want to learn how you can
bless Israel, go to IFCJ International Fellowship of Christians and
Jews IFCJ dot org. That's IFC dot org. Today. This
(13:50):
is your Morning Show with Michael del Chune. Just waking
up the Cuban Embassy in the US. As those on
board that Florida registered speedboat intercepted by the country's Coastguard.
We're trying to infiltrate Cuba for terrorist purposes. More from
Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
The embassy says the boat was detected in territorial waters
near Cuba, and when border guard troops approached the vessel,
they were shot at, prompting them to return fire, where
people on board the boat were killed and six others
were injured. According to the embassy, Some of those on
board have been identified as Cuba nationals residing in the US.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday he can't
take Cuba's reports about the event at face value, adding
(14:30):
that the US will get to the bottom of what
happened and share the findings with President Trump.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I'm Mark Mayfield. They're on thin ice right now. Imagine
jumping on it. That's Cuba. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. She's defending
her decision to hackle the president during the State of
the Union address.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
The congresswoman yelled out during the remarks you have killed Americans,
as Trump declared a war on fraud while alluding to
Minnesota's welfare scandal. Omar told CNNs Wolf Splitzer, the President
talked about protecting Americans, and I just had to remind
him that his administration was responsible for killing two of
my constituents. She also shared that she stands with Texas
(15:06):
Congressman Al Green, who was ejected from the chamber during
the speech while holding a sign that read black people
aren't apes. The sign was in reference to a now
deleted video posted to Trump's social media depicting former President
Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes. I'm
Chris Karagio. Yeah, I don't know that Chris intended that,
But that's part of the problem right there.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
The video is about a completely different subject. That's what
was posted on purpose. At the very end, as reels do,
it goes to the next Should that first two seconds
have been edited? Of course? Was it? No, And that's
why it was removed. But the President of the United
States did not post the video that they're saying. So
(15:52):
now you're walking around with a sign saying the Obamas
aren't apes. Donald Tryn never said they were. And we
all know what those two individuals did to get themselves shot,
and that if we did it today, we'd get shot.
(16:13):
You know, at a time we're in Iran or Cuba
or other places, people are killed. Think about Iran, thirty
thousand are slaughtered for their political position, and you live
in a country that doesn't do that. And you create
these false narratives and then you live by it. It's insane.
Nancy Guthrie's home has been turned back to the family.
(16:34):
That's a sure sign of a case gone cold and
a dead end.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
NBC News is reporting law enforcement no longer sees the
need to seal the premises as a crime scene or
restrict the family from being able to go into the
Tucson home. This as the search in southern Arizona for
the eighty four year old mother of Today host Savannah
Guthrie is in its fourth week. The family has raised
the reward related to the recovery of her to one
(16:58):
million dollars. Nancy Guthrie has been missing since February first.
I'm Jim Rooper.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Birthdays Today. Singer Michael Bolton is seventy three years old.
NFL great Marshall Fulk is fifty three. And if it's
your birthday, Happy birthday. So glad you were born. Thanks
for making your morning show a part of your big day.
This is Kay from Surprise, Arizona.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
My morning show is your morning show with Michael del Jiorno.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Hey, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live five to eight am Central six to nine Eastern
and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio, or Columbus, Georgia.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
and we're grateful you're here. Now. Enjoy the podcast. Riizin
shin Ernie Bird gets some warm sleepy squirrel missus. The
President certainly hit a home run with the State of
(17:53):
the Union. He'll hit a grand slam tomorrow. Don't miss
Friday with forty seven third hour tomorrow on your morning show.
Can't have your morning show without your voice. That's why
I encourage people to, you know, take your place at
the kitchen table. This isn't like every other talk show
you listen to. It's called your Morning Show because we're
here to serve you. We're not here talking to ourselves
(18:15):
or thinking we're the greatest thing on the face of
the earth. And you're lucky to be able to overhear
us speak. Yes, everybody there, Yes, I'm here there. Oh well,
don't do it that way. But if you go, if
you're listening on the iHeart app and you click that microphone,
it'll count you down three to two to one, and
it give you to thirty seconds to make a comment
(18:35):
or ask a question and be a part of a
show that belongs to you. Can also email Michael diat
iHeartMedia dot com to kfy I in Phoenix, Arizona. Michael,
you're on, Michael.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
I just want to say it's good to know that
you actually listen to those breakaway reports so many times
on my Phoenix station when they break away for these
news updates. The tone of voice when it's a t
win or positive is horrible. In anything it has to
be liberal. They're super pumped about and there's a lot
(19:08):
of misreporting all the time.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Thanks for putting there out. Thank you, Michael. There's two
ways to handle that, of course, and let's say nothing
that is go to management and address the cause of
the problem. Somebody, we're all biased. I'm biased. If you
don't think my biblical worldview impacts how I see everything,
(19:32):
how I digest everything, you'd be nuts. Of course they do.
But there is a way to have an opinion of view,
a way of looking at things, and then still do
your job. And if it's laziness or if it's intentional,
it has to be called out. It can't be left. Now.
(19:56):
If Donald Trump and he's done some things I've disagreed with.
Neither of these are on him. He did not go
and find an unfunny well I can't say unfunny, but
inappropriate funny AI thing that depicts the Obamas as apes
and all the politicians as different animals to the lion
(20:20):
sleeps tonight. If he had posted that intentionally, then you
can walk around with a sign at a State of
the Union saying the Obamas are not apes. But when
the President posts a story about a serious issue that
lasts for minutes and the very tail end has the
start of the next video because it wasn't edited tight,
(20:44):
it's not the same thing, and you shouldn't report it was.
Speaker 8 (20:50):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
If any reporter continues to do it so consistently, and
there's one I've got my eye on, I just stop
using them, or I let people above me know why
I'm not using them. But I can tell you, unlike
other companies I've worked for and had to carry news of,
this company is different, and they make every effort to
(21:15):
weed it out, and when they miss a weed, I
acknowledge it. I just want to make sure those of
us around this kitchen table were never duped or fooled.
I don't always like what the truth reveals, but the
truth is a standard. Thirty nine minutes after the hour,
(21:38):
you saw the President state of you, and you bring
up things like no tax on tips, that's a mission accomplished,
No tax on overtime, that's a mission accomplished. No tax
on Social Security, that's a mission accomplished for our seniors.
There are a lot of other things that point to
higher returns, more money left in your pocket. Translation, tax
(22:04):
season doesn't have to be stressful. It doesn't have to
be dreaded as previous year. This year is different and
brings a lot of positive opportunities. Monica Nelson has been
digging into some of those, and she joins us, now,
good morning, Monica, Well, hello, good morning. Did you find
some good news before I turple my way through another
tax season?
Speaker 4 (22:25):
I know, Well, it's time to really pull out the paper,
get excited because you're probably going to get money back
this year.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Let's just keep our fingers crossed, all right.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
The irs has done a few things. The standard deduction
has increased to sixteen one hundred dollars for single filers
thirty two thousand, two hundred dollars for married couples.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
That that's a chunk, you know. Yeah, well, yeah, I
don't know. By the way, I don't know that the
intent was to offset and admit to the cost of tariffs.
But let me just say if you and I do
believe tariffs are attacks, matter how you cut it, and
it's a tax paid by somebody, the companies, the manufacturers,
(23:05):
or the consumers. If it's the consumers, that's money out
of your pocket. If it's the companies, it could be
a job out of your pocket because they got to
cover these costs some ways, so they have less profit
that means less hiring. So but even if it was,
these savings are much greater than what anybody could have
put a pen to the cost of tariffs. But I
(23:26):
mean these are significant. The lad up to be a lot.
I mean, people that have been on the edge probably
are going to get a nice return. People that always
get a return are going to get bigger return. And
if you've been knowing, well you may not or may
yeah a lot less as much.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
The health savings account adjustment has gone up to thirty
four hundred dollars, so hopefully everyone takes advantage of that
if they have that through their company.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
There's an adoption credit.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
The maximum now rows to over seventeen grand that covers
eligible adoption related expenses, which is kind of nice. And
you brought up the no tax on tips. People could
deduct up to twenty five thou thousand dollars of qualified tips.
That's kind of amazing, no tax over time before you
rush past the tips.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
This may sound odd, but if I was a piano player,
there'd be a cup you could walk up and tip me.
If I was a waiter and I was serving you
food instead of information and understanding, you would tip me.
Why don't we tip our talk show hosts, right, maybe
we'll do a tip line. I need to tip Jeff
(24:33):
and Red for sure.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Maybe I.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Would be I think I would be a I would
be a terrible waiter. I've done charity events where I'm
a waiter, and you know, I just can't resent. You know,
I was once a a bank teller and I got
fired when I was like nineteen years old. I was
a great bank teller. I balanced out every night. I
was very very good, and I dressed very well. But
(24:58):
when they fired me, I said, well, so what have
I done wrong? Well? You like to joke with the customers.
People when you're dealing with their money, like someone to
be serious. That's why I got fired. So I think
as a waiter it spent too much time at the
table joking around. But that's why I don't get tips.
All right, So we had the tips, we have the overtime.
We also have the no text on Social Security.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Yeah, and if you're over sixty five, you could qualify
for an additional six thousand dollars standard deduction that was
out this year.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
So a lot of seniors really excited this year for
tax time.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
And if you bought a new car, that would be
amer though yeah, it has to be made in America.
The final process, I guess you could deduct up to
ten thousand dollars of interest with that, and oh, anyone
that was in like the Texas bloods, those terrible disasters
that have taken place. DIRS is giving people extra time
(25:51):
to file and helping them with other resources, so that's
kind of nice. If you make under eighty four grand,
you can file for just right through the IRS dot
gub website. If you are a student, you can claim
student loan interest payments up to twenty five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
There's a lot of opportunities here. Yeah, it's really not
to be as dreaded as years past, that's for sure.
There was a huge exchange on CNN. I don't think
it's going to make sounds the day. I've got too
many good ones. But CNN thought it was being cute.
And they're playing clips of Biden's speech and then back
to back with clips of Trump's speech, and what they're
saying is they're bostht saying the same thing. And then
(26:31):
they then it's like a big gotcha moment. They turned
to Scott Jennings and they go, Scott, what do you
make of this? And Scott's response was, well, one's lying
and one's telling the truth. That's the difference. I mean
everything that Donald Trump in a State of the Union
speech put in the bank as a mission accomplished, really
has been done. He's not saying things to pander. These
(26:53):
are things already done. Everything Monica just outlined for you
are things the president has done and your Congress has
gotten through. That will not be the case if the
elections go the wrong way come November. But I don't
want to make partisan politics out of it. It is
tax season. I know it's stressful, and I know you
(27:14):
dread it, but this year there are a ton of
differences and a ton of positive opportunities. And I suspect
you're not going to owe as much or you might
be shocked how much is coming back. It all adds up.
If you're aware, then that's what Monica want to make
sure you were aware. What.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Yes, well, and I know you're pretty generous too. Just
remember that that you can reduce your taxes by being
even more generous because your charitable contributions, you know, can
be written off if they're you know, not like if
you're giving clothes to Goodwill or something. Don't bother I
mean bother with that. But don't think that this is
(27:55):
always like write a check, give some cash, have a
record of it, and that goes above and beyond your
standard deduction.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah, they tried to trick Jesus to get political, and
he just said, give to Caesar what is Caesar? And
give to God what is God? The ten percent tithe
obviously is our obedience to God for being our provider.
We give all to him is what Christ was after.
But that ten percent, your four to oh one k
you brought up health savings, those are the whenever I
(28:26):
talk to young people, and I certainly of course my
kids listen to everybody, but me, I can't stress enough.
Between the tithe, the four to oh one K and
health savings alone, you set yourself up pretty smart. And
when it comes to Texas. But what the President has
done for us an addition to that this year, pretty
exciting stuff. So don't dread it, be positive, don't worry,
(28:49):
be happy. Monica, thank you so much. We'll talk again tomorrow. Okay, thanks, gotcha,
pre morn eighty thousand is the number. Thanks to you,
last year, Preborn rescued eighty thousand babies. They're alive today,
and today we can help save even more. I pray.
(29:11):
So it really is based in a lie. Every single day,
thousands and thousands of women in a pro choice culture,
although the death choice is the only choice that's respected
and validated, they're told to lie. Abortion is your only option,
and you are all alone and there is no hope,
So naturally they choose death. But everything changes the moment
(29:33):
the mother in crisis walks into a Preborn Network clinic.
Why first, she sees her baby on an ultrasound. That
moment alone doubles the chances of choosing life. She sees eyes, lips, nose, fingers, face,
and it's not just an image on a screen. For
most of them, they're hearing their babies heartbeat for the
(29:55):
first time, and something sacred happens. They realize the life
growing inside them is not a problem to be solved.
It's a life to be protected. Let me say that again.
The life that is growing inside of them is not
a problem to be solved. It is a life to
be protected. And we make that moment possible. Just twenty
(30:18):
eight dollars, that's all you can give this year. Twenty
eight dollars. You can provide a life saving ultrasound. You
could save a single life one hundred and forty obviously
five chances of life. Called pound two fifty and say baby,
pound two fifty and say baby. Don't just have a
position in a stance that doesn't save any lives. Live it.
(30:40):
Put your stance to life now pound two fifty Baby

(31:01):
morn than Michael. This is Chuck and Yukon. Why does
Monica sound so much like Mary from Boys? Oh, there's
only one Mary, Mike. I appreciate you kind of sid
That was Mike and Yukon, Right, I got the name.
That's right. No, Chuck, Chuck, and you cut Chuck. That's
what I thought. I knew I said the wrong name,
and I said it. There's nothing worse than saying the
(31:22):
wrong name. Thanks for noticing how close Chuck. But no,
there's only there's only one Mary. Fifty three minutes after
the offer, just waking up. The Clintons will soon sit
for their deposition and the House probe of the Jeffrey
Epstein investigation. No at the same time, but soon both
one today, one tomorrow, Mark Mayfield reports.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
Republican Oversight Committee Chair James Comer conferves former Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton will be deposed Thursday, followed by former
President Bill Clinton on Friday. The Clinton's agreed to the
videotape to sit down at the eleventh hour earlier this month,
just as the House was set to vote on whether
to hold the Clinton's and criminal contempt of Congress were
skipping their earlier deposition date the Clinton's saying they're being
(32:03):
selectively prosecuted by the Republicans on the committee.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
A Mark Matfield, a federal activist, judge, is ruling the
Trump administration's policy of deporting migrants to countries that aren't
their own is unlawful. Tammy Trihio has more.
Speaker 9 (32:16):
In the ruling, the judge said the Department of Homeland
Security is acting unlawfully when it deports immigrants to third
countries that they aren't from without giving them the opportunity
to object. A group of non citizens filed a class
actional lawsuit against DHS last year. In siding with the group,
the judge ruled the policy must be set aside. The
ruling has paused, though, for fifteen days, to allow the
(32:37):
Trump administration to appeal. I'm Tammy Triheos just.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Centered the judges house. The Department of Justice has arrested
a former Air Force pilot, accusing him of training Chinese
military pilots.
Speaker 7 (32:48):
Gerald Eddie Brown Junior is being charged for providing and
conspiring to provide defense services to Chinese military pilots without authorization.
The Department says this violent I did the Arms Export
Control Act. Brown left active duty thirty years ago the
DOJ saying he flew combat missions and was involved with
(33:09):
units that had jurisdiction over nuclear weapons.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I'm Jim Roop, John Couger, John Cougar, Mellencamp or just
John Mellencamp. All three of them are slamming the Grammys
come good.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
During a recent appearance on Bill Maher's Club Random podcast,
the musician admitted that the awards mean nothing to him.
He said, do you know what a golden Globe is
or a Grammy? It means nothing. It means less than nothing.
Mellencamp did say, you appreciated the Grammy Museum, which has
three locations, but the awards are something he's not interested in.
The singer has been nominated for fourteen Grammys and won
(33:50):
one award in nineteen eighty three thanks to a song
Hurts So Good. It earned him the award for Best
Male Rock Performer. I'm Mark Mayfield. Well, you already know
so much about my sleep. An hour in thirty minutes
of IRAM, fifty five minutes of deep sleep, seven hours
of total sleep. If you're looking for better quality sleep,
(34:12):
all you really need.
Speaker 10 (34:13):
Is a pet psychologists say allowing your pet to share
your bed will enhance feelings of security, comfort, and reduces
anxiety and loneliness. A Mayo Clinic study says co sleeping
with your pet improves your quality of sleep by about
eighty three percent, but that co sleeping does have a downside.
Some pets hog the pillow, the blanket and snore, and
(34:33):
the Cleveland Clinics says all that fur and pet dander
needs to hit the washer at least once a week,
but it's probably worth it.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
I'm pre tennis my English bulldog Joey. He used to
sleep and bed with me side by side on my
dad with his hat on the pillow, and it'd be
the middle of the night. It'd be quiet and also
need to hear like and then you'd hear them going.
It was like literally sleeping with the good, nasty old man.

Oh how I loved him and missing We're all in
this together. This is your Morning Show with Michael del
