Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on
great radio stations across the country like one oh five,
nine twelve fifty w HNZ and Tampa, Florida, News Radio
five seventy wkb N and Youngstown, Ohio and News Radio
one thousand KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you
listen to us live in the morning. And of course
we're so grateful you came for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Enjoy Idiot is running the show. Thank you, one two three.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
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.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Show with Michael gil Jordan and.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
I guess the answer to the question would be Jeffrey
Lyon controlling things back at the studio read keeping an
eye on the content.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
And I am Michael del Jorna.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Welcome to Monday, March the third year of Our Lord
twenty twenty five on the Aaron streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
This is your morning show.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Hollywood's Biggest Night is in the books. Nora was the
clear big winner, winning five of six nominations all the Biggies,
including Best Picture. Meanwhile, Secretary of Health, you know, mister
anti vax Robert F. Kenny Junior pushing people to get
vaccinated against the measles, and the President on Saturday signed
(01:15):
an executive order making English the official language. Now, obviously
the main story is what took place Friday at the
White House with Zelensky. We've weighed in, we're gonna let
your voice be heard next. But first National correspondent Roy
O'Neil is here. He's been following the health of the pope.
I have to tell you I was on a golf
course when I heard the news they put him back
on a ventilator, and I thought, hmm, now it's looking
(01:37):
really bad. But that was just what an aspiration. He's
off the vent and he seems to be improving again. Yeah,
it seems to be.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
He was able to celebrate Mass in his hospital room
there with the caregivers at that hospital in Rome. As
you said, taking off the ventilator, it seems and it
seems a little bit stronger. The update we got from
the Vatican this morning says that he had another RESTful
night of sleep. He's been there in the hospital since
Valentine's Day. Yeah, I bet you probably you know. One
(02:08):
of the things I found I had a really nasty virus.
The only thing that really gave me relief, and it's
good science, was a hot Toaddi And I've had top
doctors say that a little hot toddy because if nothing else,
you'll sleep, and sleep is so key to getting better.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
But I don't know if you can.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Get the hot TODDI A holy hot toddy maybe.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
But you know, at some point, Rory, just how long
he's been on his back is going to become the
big issue.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
Well.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
I mean he has been able to get up and
go sit in a chair in the off in the
hospital room as well. We know he's been back and
forth from his bed to a chair. Obviously not running laps,
but he has at least been able to get out
of that bed. They say he spends most of his
time either reading or resting.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I studied a lot over the weekend.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
By the way, it was so odd Rory filled in
on the booking of these, so when I booked, I
had to go you but no, I spent my time
looking at this and even though it's not on your
list today, I know you probably did as well. The
latest on Geene Hackman and his wife. It does appear
that I am right, Gene Hackman and his pacemaker pretty
much proves it. So this will bear out. He collapsed
(03:17):
and died probably cardiac arrest in the mud room. Now
the mystery becomes the wife, because why was she going
back to the bathroom?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
And you know what's that?
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Gid Michael Botten, the famous for forensic guy, his early conclusion,
and of course he probably want to see the blood
work first, but is that she went back to get
something either for herself or for him, and just coincidence,
he's got her coincidentally falling, maybe hitting her head and
(03:51):
bleeding out or two having a massive heart attack from
coronary artery disease. That would yeah, but that would be
odd from the trauma. Yeah, but that would be odd.
It's sixty three. I think we're close to knowing how
he died, how she died, and the dogs was stuck
in the cantile is beyond me.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
And I've read a million things.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
You yeah, And I see the headline of a million
things and I just get past them. I said, I'm
just kunna win for the final results took him in.
But yeah, I think that the pacemaker information was critical
as they again try to put together this timeline, and
how again a ninety five year old man or is
(04:32):
not contacted by any family or friends for a two
week period, I think is one of the most remarkable parts.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Of this, especially when that person's Gene Hackman. Rory's coming
back in the third hour. Thousands of troops are now
being deployed to the southern border. Royal'll have the latest
on that in our third hour. Good, good booking and reporting.
Speaker 7 (04:48):
Rory.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Always wonderful to have you all right eleven minutes after
the hour. We call it your morning show, not just
to be cute. When we designed this, it was first
and foremost not about me, not about me having a job.
Who's about you having a show that belonged to you,
an egoist host who would ask the right questions and
(05:09):
wait for your answers. Well, today's a great example of that,
isn't it. Because something happened spontaneously or planned at the
White House, and America's been reacting and the world's been
reacting ever since, and it's obviously the main story today.
(05:29):
Just is when it had happened Friday late morning. For me,
I wanted to emphasize, first and foremost, have you watched
all forty eight minutes, because until you do, you can't
have a headline or a clip opinion on this.
Speaker 8 (05:45):
Now.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I understand the human instinct to fast forward to the
clip where they start fighting, but you got to listen
from the beginning. So my first thing is, have you
listened to all forty eight minutes. If you haven't, don't
listen to anybody on radio, don't listen to anybody on television
until you watch all forty eight minutes. In your own opinion,
what we're bringing to the table this morning is and
(06:07):
it even goes beyond that. You see something happened in
their closed door meeting before that public appearance, and then
there's that whole forty eight hours. Oh but wait, something
happened in Munich before he flew chose to fly all
the way to the United States to meet with the
president to do what he didn't do in Munich.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
And oh, by the way, it began in Kiev.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
When Trump first and foremost sent the Treasury Secretary Scott
was sent there a to find out what happened to
all of our money. It's not the government's money or
the government's debt, it's our money and debt on our children.
So I'm not giving these guys another dime until I
see where the money went, and half went unaccounted for.
But that wasn't even the whole reason for the visit.
(06:51):
The other reason for the visit was the mineral rights,
because if we're going to move forward, there's a strategy here.
A your minerals that we need for industry, whether it's batteries, whatever,
can help us get back all the money the previous
presidents spent on a war that never should have happened
in this president's opinion. So that's a good thing to
(07:13):
recoup the funds for America. But the silent strategy, this
is what you can't miss, is that if we have
mineral interests there, and we have people on the ground
in Ukraine with a mineral interest and Putin doesn't keep
his word, now we're there because Zelensky apparently makes all
(07:36):
this over Putin ever keeps his word, and then you
never do anything when he doesn't keep his word. Well,
that was the whole strategy. Will be there now now
we have an interest and Putin would have gotten that.
Apparently Zelensky didn't, didn't in Kiev, didn't in Munich, and
then flew all the way here and didn't get it
still and chose.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
To make a scene in the room of world opinion.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Trump maybe said it best, and you got no cards,
without my weapons, without my money. You go this alone,
and it's not gonna go well. And then he was
still ungrateful. You're playing with World War III. Now the
matrix it boils down to see Trump's a puppet for Putin,
he's arm in arm with Putin. He's on Putin side,
(08:25):
and the right saying Zelenski's come, let's stop giving him money,
Let's stop going to make him go it alone. The
truth is what the President said, and you'll hear it
in that forty eight minutes. I'm not on anybody's side. Clearly,
you two hate each other. That's why you're at war.
(08:47):
You're never like like a marriage in mediation. You're not
gonna solve this. You're not gonna arrive at a divorce settlement.
I'm not on Russia's side, I'm not on Ukraine side.
I'm not alone with anyone quote unquote. I'm aligned with
the United States of America and for what is good
for the world. So if you want to know what
my personal opinion is, am I on Trump sideer is
(09:10):
a Lensky side. I'm on neither, which puts me on
Trump's side.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I guess.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
I'm aligned with the United States of American what's good
for world peace, And like the President, I want to
see nineteen year old stop dying over these political games.
Get him in a room and be big boys. But
this guy pulled this stunt in Kiev, he pulled this
stunt again in Munich. Then he flew all the way
away here and pulled this stunt in the White House.
That's why jd vance and much kinder words than I
(09:39):
would have used, and I'm sure Marco would like to
use words I do use. We're so outraged, but it's
your morning show, not mine. What do you think, Oh,
you're gonna love this. Let's start with Angela and Phoenix.
He's always one of my favorites.
Speaker 9 (09:57):
That actor thought he could come dressed stin black, sit
there with that posture and lead another publicity stunt from
the White House.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
But now there's a new boss in town.
Speaker 9 (10:11):
And by the way, Michael, the people who don't do
anything but watch the short takes don't seem to understand
Vilensky is asking us to commit our side to him,
and not all of us agree with that. We aren't
going to commit to either side, is what Trump is
(10:32):
telling everyone. If they would only listen to the bull
forty eight minutes and not just the clips.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
If my friends at KFYI, yeah, to find out who
Angela is a hier. She belongs on the radio, just
like Mary does in Sacramento. Great comment, Angela. Yeah, And again,
the goal isn't world War three.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
The goal is.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Piece, I mean Donald Trump, and all the clips are
not showing you. He turns him and he goes, what
do you want me to do?
Speaker 6 (11:05):
Say?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I hate Vladimir Putin? Puts a hot head, He's a jerk.
And then I get on the phone, Hi, laddie.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
This all played out in the forty eight minutes. There
doesn't have to be a good guy and a bad guy.
I mean, it could just be that Zelenski is you know,
really scared and really paranoid and doesn't want to just
sweep this aside and call it a cease fire, call
it piece when he's just going to renig an attack
(11:33):
again and he wants, you know, some kind of assurance
that's just impossible to give. But what I don't want
you to miss is the President was giving them. That
was the strategy. Make it look like we want your
minerals so we can do industry and get our money
back that we invested. But it puts this on your soil.
So if he doesn't keep his word, we're defending ourself,
not you. I can't get over the ignorance of the stunt.
(11:57):
He bolt myself. If it's ignorance or Eric, I can't tell.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Derek is next. I believe Derek.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
I did listen to the all forty eight minutes, the
Scarrick and Buckeye Arizona. I would say, yeah, Trump is right,
and Zelenski planned this all out.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
He doesn't want peace.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
He just wants our money, our backing, our weapons, and
us to fight his war for him. I say, let
him fight it on his own, and if he wants
to fight with Europe, let him fight. We stay out
of it.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
No World war that way.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Well, I think the President made that clear to him.
You will fight this alone and you will lose. It's
not going to go your way. You're not going to
trick me into World War three. The President said that,
so he shares your opinion, and that's a good opinion.
The point you make at the end is if we
stay out, you really can't have a world war unless
we involve ourselves. But the part that concerns the president
(12:51):
and should even concern you, Derek, is things can change
and you can start staying out. But then as it
gets heated up, and then as they do something, you know,
some atrocity towards France or England, or maybe even get
zealous and go beyond that and hit one of you know,
our military sites, or do something on American soil.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
That's how you get into world war.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
So the President wants peace first and foremost of the
eighteen to nineteen year old stopp dying by the thousands
every day on both sides, but so that we don't
start down a road we can't control. So that's an
easy comment to make on the radio, but history doesn't
show it plays out that way always.
Speaker 10 (13:29):
Scott's next, Michael, you're incorrect again when you say that
the hot head is Zelenski. Yes he is the hothead,
but Putin is a hothead too. So the only sane,
calm one in the whole ordeal is Trump and JD.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Vance. I don't hothead never comes to mind. With Putin.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
It's the guy that wants to re put in place
the Russian Empire map. This is a determined, life long
dictator of power, control and map. He's doing what he
wants to do. President Trump was ready to end something
(14:15):
with assurances and the hothead blew it up. So right
now I know, I think I'm right. There's one hothead
and it's not Trump, It's not JD.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Vans.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Putin is just an evil with aspirations of world dominance
and control. What Zelenski did was planned because he did
it first in Kiev, then he did it again in Munich,
and then he flew all the way here to do
it again. We still got to get in Nick and
Woody when we come back, and then and flip too right,
(14:47):
your morning show and your voice continues momentarily twenty one
minutes after the hour. If you or your family are
ever in a situation and God forbid you are where
you feel like you're being threatened, your life is being threatened,
you need to start with less lethal And sometimes it's
not a perpetrator in your house in the middle of
the night or somebody stalking you as you're walking to
your car.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Brett A. Burner Owner from the Burner Owner.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Group on Facebook recently posted a story about how he
was one time he had forgot to pack his burner
on his walk with his dog and then they were
attacked by an unleashed dog. He left the situation bloodied,
as was his dog, and he learned a serious lesson
never leave home without your burner. Had he had that,
he could have incapacitated the dog, not killed it, and
(15:31):
they would have all walked away. You just never know
how burna is going to save two lives. Legal in
all fifty states, no permits, no background checks.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I own one. You should.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
It's a great compliment to your firearms. The burner launcher
has a powerful detern. You can either use tear gas
or kinetic rounds up to a sixty foot range, and
one shot can incapacitate an attacker for forty minutes. Burne
is trusted by over five hundred government agencies, police departments,
in private security firms with over fourteen thousand and four
and a half star plus reviews. Check it out for yourself.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
It's your Morning Show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Obviously, the main story is what took place Friday at
the White House between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
A reaction from you all has been outstanding. We're going
to get back to your phone calls and talkbacks in
a moment. Jim just emailed me, Michael, don't forget Zelensky
met prior to meeting with Trump. He met with members
of Congress Democrats and Rhino Republicans, Jim and Franklin, Tennessee. Yeah,
but knowing that he did the same stunt at the
(16:55):
White House that he did in Munich that he did
prior to that and Kiev, I don't know that I'm
gonna put that on the pep talk from the far
left that make this all about Trump and not about peace.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
But it's it's a worthy point.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is insisting the US is
still committed ending this Russian Ukraine world although I have
to admit it can't but possibly be as easy, because
you can't subtly place yourself in Ukraine for mineral rights
purposes and then defend Ukraine if Putin doesn't keep a
ceasefire agreement. Now that Zelensky's out at that strategy, so
(17:28):
I think it's gonna be tougher. Whatever Zelensky did, he
did on purpose. Now he's got to live with it.
But if a wanting world peace, let's keep our eye
on the ball.
Speaker 9 (17:41):
Breton Franklin, Tennessee, On My Morning Show is your Morning
Show with Michael Del Johno.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Your Morning Show airs live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern in great cities like Memphis, Tennessee,
tell Usa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California. We'd love to be a
part of your morning routine, but we're happier here now.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
New York where Cuomo is now making it officially he's
going to run for mayor, so this becomes a Democratic
Party crisis solution for New York City that's not in
a crisis to get rid of a mayor who God forbid,
has spoken to the President and wants to address the
clear and present danger to his citizens, which is illegal
(18:27):
immigrants committing crimes. So this is a solution for the
party's crisis, not for New York, and the solution is
the cause of the crisis. I'd love to talk about
that paper ballance. I've often said it's one of the
top five things I would do to put this country
on autopilot. And sixty percent of America agrees with me.
According to late Is Paul, only twenty six percent disagree.
(18:49):
But here's one of the big solutions, like a prioritized
balanced budget, like a fair or flat tax.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
But will it happen. Probably not happen.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
America would want to prioritize fair, accurate legal elections. I'm
not sure all of America is on the same page there.
I'd love to talk about that Trump finally made English
the official language.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
What does that even mean?
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Is that just some kind of anti migrant statement or
is that something for cultural communication and clarity?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
And how has it never happened before.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
I'd love to talk about that, But obviously the big
story is what happened between Trump and Zelensky at the
White House. And it's your morning show and it's your
voice that must be heard. So let's take the time
and hear it. We were halfway through our list that
is now tripled since then. But let's pick up where
(19:48):
we left off. I think this is woody in Peoria, Arizona.
Speaker 11 (19:51):
Yeah, I think it's an arrogance on the part of Zelensky.
It was definitely planned. I think it's just part of
the bigger and despise of Donald Trump, my world leaders.
He was trying to undermine him. And then, mark my words,
watch tomorrow with the Joint Address of Congress, all these
(20:12):
left stooges dusting off the Ukrainian pins and flags for
the address.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
They will look.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
The President's made it very clear he's not aligned with
Russia or Ukraine. He's aligned with the United States and
what's good for the world. That's what we're on the
brink of here. Do you want to take steps towards
peace or steps towards world war. That's just to keep
you focused because you're going to see some of these
calls start drifting. And then the main question of the
(20:41):
day is if this is what Zelenski did and planned,
why did he bother to come And just to clarify
where what he's coming from, That's why I said, first
and foremost, make sure you watch all forty eight minutes,
not just the clip of when they start fighting. You
don't have context less you watch all four eight minutes
and then know that they just came out of closed
(21:02):
door meetings. And he did this in front of the
press on purpose. But what he did in front of
the press on purpose Friday, he had already done in
Munich and before that in Kiev, So it was his
intent to do this.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Now.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
I don't know what cards he thinks he's holding. To
use the President's analogy. Maybe he wants to just go
forward with Europe, get other people's money, other people's weapons,
and other people's troops to fight his war, carry out
his grudge, even if it starts World War three. But
that's not something I'm necessarily interested in, and we should
(21:38):
make look. Donald Trump has said a million times this
war would have never happened if I were president. Now
he's trying to start World War three while Trump's president.
Don't lose sight of that. Nicholas, named after my son,
is next, regulate the media.
Speaker 12 (21:54):
The media should have more regulation than anything else. That's
the information that's going out to the American people look
at it like an insurance agent. They get arrested if
they give misinformation to their customers.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Regulate the media, well, careful what you asked for.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
That's something Hillary Clinton has always had a priority in doing.
She used to want to have people on the other
side of my glass controlling everything.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I said, Look, you start.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Playing the game of while you're in power, trampling on
freedom of speech. Careful, you'll have to live with it
when you're not in power, And what one person does
with it reasonably, the next person may do recklessly.
Speaker 13 (22:34):
Dwight is next. We have a computer lock up there. Hey, Michael,
this is my take on this.
Speaker 14 (22:45):
He is so used to coming over to this country
and fell in president and body what dirt he has
on his son and leave him with a pocket form
of cash.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Now you can't do that.
Speaker 14 (22:59):
I believe President Trump acted in the best interests of
the American people, and I believe he always will do so.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
The only thing I just feel the need to caution.
I know that's really big on the internet. I don't
know if that's true. I know he was used to
coming and getting money and getting weapons. For some reason,
the Democrats have no problem ignoring radical Islam and an
invasion and slaughter in Israel. They couldn't pick a side
(23:28):
on that, but they can always pick a side against Russia,
while China, of course, is marching towards world dominance. I
just caution you don't take the bait. The solution this
morning is that you taking a side with Trump Razolenski.
It's you staying on the side of not aligning with
(23:52):
either and putting America first and world peace second. Because
this reckless behavehavior that was done at the White House
on Friday, then Munich before that and in Kiev before that,
is trying to create a world war. We shouldn't want
a world war. Eric, I think is next? I have Eric.
Speaker 15 (24:15):
I think England and France is going in the direction
that Zelensky wants them to go, because they're already saying
they're putting boots on the ground and planes in the air,
so they're going to involve themselves, and that's exactly what
Zelenski wants. They're too stupid to see that they're dragging
themselves into a war that should never have happened.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Boom, Eric, you get it. I think Ryan's next. Michael.
Speaker 16 (24:37):
Let's remember JD accused Z of going on a propaganda tour,
and he did pull out photos to show Trump of
all the horror propaganda tour.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Yeah, and that came out if you watch all forty
eight minutes, because he tries twice, Zelensky tries to make
JD out to be the idiot in the room. Once
was over that, well, you've never even come. And I
think Rubio backed it up too in that forty eight minutes.
We know what happens when we come, We know the
(25:10):
tour you take us on, but everything that has happened
is irrelevant to now.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
You got to let all that go.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
It's like a husband and wife going through divorce and
they can't get their settlement, so they go to a mediator.
Of course, both sides hate each other. Of course both
sides don't want to make any concessions, but both will
bring up everything from the past.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
You got to get beyond that, and you've got to
move ahead.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
See the problem is Donald Trump needs Putin and Zelensky
both on the same page. Neither of you are winning.
You're both losing thousands of young men a day, and
we're all playing a risky game with World War three.
Enough now how do we move forward? And Zelensky is
(26:00):
too hot headed to get there. Ben's gonna make a
point about Russia and Christians and that I'm giving some
neo Christian view.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
I'm gonna spare you all that.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Look, do you think that Vladimir Putin is just interested
in Ukraine? And the answer should be obviously no. And
if it's not, look, there's biblical ways of looking at things,
there are geopolitical ways of looking at things, and there
are historic ways of looking at things. All three prisms
point to he's either trying to put back together the
(26:32):
Soviet Union, which I don't think is his purpose, though
I don't think he likes they're not the Soviet Union anymore.
I think he's trying to reassemble the Russian Empire map.
It really isn't a biblical conversation at that point, it's
a geopolitical conversation. And the minute he gets to Poland,
it's World War So I don't know where you were going, Ben,
(26:53):
but I don't have time for that. Is there anybody
else you want to get it before I move on
to top five stories, or you want to bring it.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Flip?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Is somebody completely different? I think You're gonna find this
very refreshing.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Don't forget tomorrow is the only day of the calendar
that is a command March fourth.
Speaker 16 (27:11):
Also about to give a shout out to my nephew,
Daniel Puckett's lovely wife Mary Katherine Mary and son Steele.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Happy anniversary. Anything you need from public coach to Russian
store five years? Oh wow, March fourth? Okay, happy March fourth.
You know what, Flip reminds me of Bree Tennis, who
I love. By the way, Flip that. I'm not making
fun of you, Flipp. I'm loving this.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
While the whole everybody's getting involved in a world war fight.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
This morning. You give me a little shout out.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
You're reminding us of March fourth. I need more flips
in my life.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Flip first.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Anything else you want a diary, We're here for you,
all right.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Top five stories of the day.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Waking up, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is insisting the
US is committed to ending the.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Russian Ukraine War no matter what Zelenski did.
Speaker 17 (28:02):
Rubio told ABC's This Week he hopes Ukrainian President Vladimir
Zelenski will see that and come to the negotiating table.
He said a cease firing deal will be difficult, but
it's the best path forward. Rubio's comments come days after
President Trump and Zelenski had a tense exchange while meeting
at the White House to discuss the deal that would
have given the US access to Ukrainian minerals in exchange
for providing aid.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I'm Mark Mayfield, Well, it wasn't in exchange for providing
aid to put America on the ground in Ukraine with interest,
to hold putin accountable, to not break any ceasefire end
of war agreements.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
That's the strategy that's been ruined.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Now there's a reason why Marco Rubio is Secretary of
State and I am not. I'm more like House Speaker
Mike Johnson, who thinks, if this thing's going to move forward,
not only can Zelenski not be in control of Ukraine
after peace is reached, we can't reach peace as long
as he's in control.
Speaker 18 (28:52):
Appearing on NBC's Meet the Press, Johnson says Zelenski needs
to show the proper gratitude for US assistance during the
rush of the Ukraine War and work towards ending the war.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Something has to change either.
Speaker 17 (29:02):
He needs to come to his senses and come back
to the table in gratitude, or someone else needs to
leave the country to do that.
Speaker 18 (29:09):
Johnson dismissed claims the US appears to be siding with
Russia in the conflict, insisting that President Trump is still
committed to opposing Vladimir Putin. This comes after Trump and
Zelenski had a heated exchange of words while meeting at
the White House last week. I'm Tammy Trihio.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
That's a portion of the American people's problem, and a
good portion of the media's problem. Mostly media. Nobody's watching
or listening to anymore. They think it has to be
one way or the other. He must be on Putiny.
The President couldn't have made it more clear. I'm not
saying this. This is quote unquote. If you go watch
the whole forty eight minutes, I'm not aligned with you
or Russia. I'm aligned with the United States of America
(29:49):
and the money of ours you're using, the weapons of
ours you're using, and the amount of your kids.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
And their kids that are dying daily. And i want
it stopped.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
And we're all in the trajectory towards World war and
I want to stop that. That's the side to pick.
You want World War peace over Zelenski. By the way,
if you were counting the pope out, big mistake.
Speaker 19 (30:09):
The Vatican says the Pope has met with church officials
and offered thanks to well wishers for their prayers and support.
In the latest update on his condition, the Vatican says
the pope had rested well overnight. The eighty eight year
old Pontiff was admitted to the hospital February fourteenth with
respiratory problems and developed to double pneumonia. A full medical
update on his condition is expected this evening.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I'm Scott Carr.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
If the movie Sweet Home Alabama had a baby with
the movie Pretty Woman, they would have named it Honora.
It stole both plots. It also took all the top
honors at the Oscars.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Thank you so much. We've made it to be independently.
Speaker 15 (30:48):
If you're trying to make independent films, please keep doing it.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
We need more.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
The film was nominated in six categories and won five
of them, and it was all the Biggies Best Director,
Best Original Screenplay, Best at and Best Picture. Zoe's Landa
Zaldana won her first Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, and
Emilia Perez, while the Best Actress went to Mickey Madison
and her role in Anora. Best Supporting Actor went to
Kieren Kulkin, who probably got the Best Acceptance Speech Award
(31:16):
for his role in A Real Pain, and Adrian Bodie
got the most political as he took home the Best
Actor in his role in The Brutalist and Basketball Caps
beat the Blazer's Son lost to the Wolves, Lakers beat
the Clippers in the Thunder Up the Spurs, and Hockey
Blues fell sixty three in Dallas to the Stars. Pred's
of course lost. You want to know by how much
they lost? For to nothing to the Rangers. Birthdays, Modern Families.
(31:37):
Julie Bowen is fifty five Celtic Great. Jason Tatum twenty
seven singer. It was Havana Mumbaya. I got my heart
in Havana Umba whatever. Camilla Cabella is twenty nine years
old and Gold medalist one fast runner. Jackie Joyner Kersey
probably could still beat me in a fifty yard dash.
Sixty four years old today. And if it's your birthday,
(31:59):
Happy birthday, So glad you were born. That's your top
five stories of the day.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Our White House correspondent is John Decker. He is a
US Supreme Court bar attorney. He has covered eight presidents
as a White House correspondent. I had mentioned last week
that every time I see one of those memes, whether
it's Barack Obama, Hillary Clint, whoever it is, they're always
looking through the door peephole and you can just see
the image of Cash Patel standing there.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
I still laugh at that. For some reason, I'm that immature.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
But I have a new one in the midst of
the of the fight at the White House, and this
is what the whole world is still talking about on
Monday morning. There's a picture of John Decker City. Everybody's
looking around, fighting, screaming, and you're just sitting quietly with
a newspaper.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
What were you reading?
Speaker 20 (32:51):
I was just reading the editorial page of the.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
Wall Street Journal. I was in my island, my.
Speaker 20 (32:58):
Oasis, and so that's that's.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
What I do.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
Herry you talk about cool under pressure, you were just
not I prod let them fight. I'm reading What do
you make of this? And what has been the response?
Since I've got my take and I've given it to
my listeners. My listeners have given their take, but you
followed this.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
I watched it. You were there.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
I watched it in its entirety for forty eight minutes.
I also know what happened, or what the take is
of what happened behind closed doors prior to that in
Munich and prior to that and Kiev. But what do
you make what's the world making of what it saw?
Speaker 8 (33:35):
Well, you know, after that blow up in the Oval
Office on Friday, President Zelenski traveled across the Atlantic. He
met with UK Prime Minister Tir Starmer and also King Charles.
And it seems to me right now like Europe is
going to step it up in the sense that they
are committed to increasing military support for Ukraine.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
They are also committed to providing those security guarantees that
Presidents Zlynsky had sought from the United States. I think
that the relationship between Zelensky and Trump can be repaired.
I believe that, you know.
Speaker 20 (34:09):
And I think that it's important that it is.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
Repaired right now, though it's in a very bad place,
and you know, it takes time to repair this, this relationship,
but I think it can be done.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
You know, for a guy that was reading the paper,
you followed this very well. No, So in all seriousness,
there's a quote from Donald Trump in that forty eight
minute exchange. So let's get us try to get him
to pick a side. I'm not taking a side. You
clearly hate each other. You're not going to solve this.
It's never going to end. I'm on the side of
the United States of America and I'm on the side
(34:40):
of what's good for the world. That's the side I'm on.
I think there was a strategic play. The mineral rights
helficis pay back all the money that we've given you,
and it also puts US in Ukraine, which gives us
an interest if he does. I mean, that's the security
assurance that we're there.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Now. Well, now that strategy's blown up.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
And if Europe wants to get on board, all for that,
but not if it takes us a step closer to World.
Speaker 20 (35:02):
War Well, that's what the president says.
Speaker 6 (35:06):
Uh, that's for sure.
Speaker 20 (35:08):
You know, I think that, you know, if you talk.
Speaker 6 (35:11):
About the United States and traditionally where our allies should be,
where the United States's place in the world should be.
We are the leader, we are the one superpower in
the world, and we want peace well, that's right, and
you never want to be on the side of Vladimir Putin.
You know, if you if you are conservative, if you
(35:33):
are traditional conservative, if you are a Republican, you have
in your DNA what Ronald Reagan said, which is the
Soviet Union. Now, Russia is the evil Empire. It is
not an ally of the United States.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
I think.
Speaker 6 (35:47):
Now, do you have to say that out in public
if you're the president of the United States. No, Ronald
Reagan did, by the way, But you don't have to
do that.
Speaker 20 (35:54):
If you want to be like what's called.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Sit here and call the man evil and then get
on the phone, they'll go, hey, Laddie, let's find peace.
Speaker 7 (36:01):
You know.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
So that the president kind of made those points, but
all right, we'll see where it goes from here. Back
to your newspaper, I was very impressed. The whole world
was watching that fight. You were reading a newspaper. Cool
and comm John Decker my favorite.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning show
with Michael enheld jow Now
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on
great radio stations across the country like one oh five,
nine twelve fifty w HNZ and Tampa, Florida, News Radio
five seventy wkb N and Youngstown, Ohio and News Radio
one thousand KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you
listen to us live in the morning. And of course
we're so grateful you came for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Enjoy Idiot is running the show. Thank you, one two three.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
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.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Show with Michael gil Jordan and.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
I guess the answer to the question would be Jeffrey
Lyon controlling things back at the studio read keeping an
eye on the content.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
And I am Michael del Jorna.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Welcome to Monday, March the third year of Our Lord
twenty twenty five on the Aaron streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
This is your morning show.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Hollywood's Biggest Night is in the books. Nora was the
clear big winner, winning five of six nominations all the Biggies,
including Best Picture. Meanwhile, Secretary of Health, you know, mister
anti vax Robert F. Kenny Junior pushing people to get
vaccinated against the measles, and the President on Saturday signed
(01:15):
an executive order making English the official language. Now, obviously
the main story is what took place Friday at the
White House with Zelensky. We've weighed in, we're gonna let
your voice be heard next. But first National correspondent Roy
O'Neil is here. He's been following the health of the pope.
I have to tell you I was on a golf
course when I heard the news they put him back
on a ventilator, and I thought, hmm, now it's looking
(01:37):
really bad. But that was just what an aspiration. He's
off the vent and he seems to be improving again. Yeah,
it seems to be.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
He was able to celebrate Mass in his hospital room
there with the caregivers at that hospital in Rome. As
you said, taking off the ventilator, it seems and it
seems a little bit stronger. The update we got from
the Vatican this morning says that he had another RESTful
night of sleep. He's been there in the hospital since
Valentine's Day. Yeah, I bet you probably you know. One
(02:08):
of the things I found I had a really nasty virus.
The only thing that really gave me relief, and it's
good science, was a hot Toaddi And I've had top
doctors say that a little hot toddy because if nothing else,
you'll sleep, and sleep is so key to getting better.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
But I don't know if you can.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Get the hot TODDI A holy hot toddy maybe.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
But you know, at some point, Rory, just how long
he's been on his back is going to become the
big issue.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
Well.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
I mean he has been able to get up and
go sit in a chair in the off in the
hospital room as well. We know he's been back and
forth from his bed to a chair. Obviously not running laps,
but he has at least been able to get out
of that bed. They say he spends most of his
time either reading or resting.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I studied a lot over the weekend.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
By the way, it was so odd Rory filled in
on the booking of these, so when I booked, I
had to go you but no, I spent my time
looking at this and even though it's not on your
list today, I know you probably did as well. The
latest on Geene Hackman and his wife. It does appear
that I am right, Gene Hackman and his pacemaker pretty
much proves it. So this will bear out. He collapsed
(03:17):
and died probably cardiac arrest in the mud room. Now
the mystery becomes the wife, because why was she going
back to the bathroom?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
And you know what's that?
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Gid Michael Botten, the famous for forensic guy, his early conclusion,
and of course he probably want to see the blood
work first, but is that she went back to get
something either for herself or for him, and just coincidence,
he's got her coincidentally falling, maybe hitting her head and
(03:51):
bleeding out or two having a massive heart attack from
coronary artery disease. That would yeah, but that would be
odd from the trauma. Yeah, but that would be odd.
It's sixty three. I think we're close to knowing how
he died, how she died, and the dogs was stuck
in the cantile is beyond me.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
And I've read a million things.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
You yeah, And I see the headline of a million
things and I just get past them. I said, I'm
just kunna win for the final results took him in.
But yeah, I think that the pacemaker information was critical
as they again try to put together this timeline, and
how again a ninety five year old man or is
(04:32):
not contacted by any family or friends for a two
week period, I think is one of the most remarkable parts.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Of this, especially when that person's Gene Hackman. Rory's coming
back in the third hour. Thousands of troops are now
being deployed to the southern border. Royal'll have the latest
on that in our third hour. Good, good booking and reporting.
Speaker 7 (04:48):
Rory.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Always wonderful to have you all right eleven minutes after
the hour. We call it your morning show, not just
to be cute. When we designed this, it was first
and foremost not about me, not about me having a job.
Who's about you having a show that belonged to you,
an egoist host who would ask the right questions and
(05:09):
wait for your answers. Well, today's a great example of that,
isn't it. Because something happened spontaneously or planned at the
White House, and America's been reacting and the world's been
reacting ever since, and it's obviously the main story today.
(05:29):
Just is when it had happened Friday late morning. For me,
I wanted to emphasize, first and foremost, have you watched
all forty eight minutes, because until you do, you can't
have a headline or a clip opinion on this.
Speaker 8 (05:45):
Now.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I understand the human instinct to fast forward to the
clip where they start fighting, but you got to listen
from the beginning. So my first thing is, have you
listened to all forty eight minutes. If you haven't, don't
listen to anybody on radio, don't listen to anybody on television
until you watch all forty eight minutes. In your own opinion,
what we're bringing to the table this morning is and
(06:07):
it even goes beyond that. You see something happened in
their closed door meeting before that public appearance, and then
there's that whole forty eight hours. Oh but wait, something
happened in Munich before he flew chose to fly all
the way to the United States to meet with the
president to do what he didn't do in Munich.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
And oh, by the way, it began in Kiev.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
When Trump first and foremost sent the Treasury Secretary Scott
was sent there a to find out what happened to
all of our money. It's not the government's money or
the government's debt, it's our money and debt on our children.
So I'm not giving these guys another dime until I
see where the money went, and half went unaccounted for.
But that wasn't even the whole reason for the visit.
(06:51):
The other reason for the visit was the mineral rights,
because if we're going to move forward, there's a strategy here.
A your minerals that we need for industry, whether it's batteries, whatever,
can help us get back all the money the previous
presidents spent on a war that never should have happened
in this president's opinion. So that's a good thing to
(07:13):
recoup the funds for America. But the silent strategy, this
is what you can't miss, is that if we have
mineral interests there, and we have people on the ground
in Ukraine with a mineral interest and Putin doesn't keep
his word, now we're there because Zelensky apparently makes all
(07:36):
this over Putin ever keeps his word, and then you
never do anything when he doesn't keep his word. Well,
that was the whole strategy. Will be there now now
we have an interest and Putin would have gotten that.
Apparently Zelensky didn't, didn't in Kiev, didn't in Munich, and
then flew all the way here and didn't get it
still and chose.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
To make a scene in the room of world opinion.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Trump maybe said it best, and you got no cards,
without my weapons, without my money. You go this alone,
and it's not gonna go well. And then he was
still ungrateful. You're playing with World War III. Now the
matrix it boils down to see Trump's a puppet for Putin,
he's arm in arm with Putin. He's on Putin side,
(08:25):
and the right saying Zelenski's come, let's stop giving him money,
Let's stop going to make him go it alone. The
truth is what the President said, and you'll hear it
in that forty eight minutes. I'm not on anybody's side. Clearly,
you two hate each other. That's why you're at war.
(08:47):
You're never like like a marriage in mediation. You're not
gonna solve this. You're not gonna arrive at a divorce settlement.
I'm not on Russia's side, I'm not on Ukraine side.
I'm not alone with anyone quote unquote. I'm aligned with
the United States of America and for what is good
for the world. So if you want to know what
my personal opinion is, am I on Trump sideer is
(09:10):
a Lensky side. I'm on neither, which puts me on
Trump's side.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I guess.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
I'm aligned with the United States of American what's good
for world peace, And like the President, I want to
see nineteen year old stop dying over these political games.
Get him in a room and be big boys. But
this guy pulled this stunt in Kiev, he pulled this
stunt again in Munich. Then he flew all the way
away here and pulled this stunt in the White House.
That's why jd vance and much kinder words than I
(09:39):
would have used, and I'm sure Marco would like to
use words I do use. We're so outraged, but it's
your morning show, not mine. What do you think, Oh,
you're gonna love this. Let's start with Angela and Phoenix.
He's always one of my favorites.
Speaker 9 (09:57):
That actor thought he could come dressed stin black, sit
there with that posture and lead another publicity stunt from
the White House.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
But now there's a new boss in town.
Speaker 9 (10:11):
And by the way, Michael, the people who don't do
anything but watch the short takes don't seem to understand
Vilensky is asking us to commit our side to him,
and not all of us agree with that. We aren't
going to commit to either side, is what Trump is
(10:32):
telling everyone. If they would only listen to the bull
forty eight minutes and not just the clips.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
If my friends at KFYI, yeah, to find out who
Angela is a hier. She belongs on the radio, just
like Mary does in Sacramento. Great comment, Angela. Yeah, And again,
the goal isn't world War three.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
The goal is.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Piece, I mean Donald Trump, and all the clips are
not showing you. He turns him and he goes, what
do you want me to do?
Speaker 6 (11:05):
Say?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I hate Vladimir Putin? Puts a hot head, He's a jerk.
And then I get on the phone, Hi, laddie.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
This all played out in the forty eight minutes. There
doesn't have to be a good guy and a bad guy.
I mean, it could just be that Zelenski is you know,
really scared and really paranoid and doesn't want to just
sweep this aside and call it a cease fire, call
it piece when he's just going to renig an attack
(11:33):
again and he wants, you know, some kind of assurance
that's just impossible to give. But what I don't want
you to miss is the President was giving them. That
was the strategy. Make it look like we want your
minerals so we can do industry and get our money
back that we invested. But it puts this on your soil.
So if he doesn't keep his word, we're defending ourself,
not you. I can't get over the ignorance of the stunt.
(11:57):
He bolt myself. If it's ignorance or Eric, I can't tell.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Derek is next. I believe Derek.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
I did listen to the all forty eight minutes, the
Scarrick and Buckeye Arizona. I would say, yeah, Trump is right,
and Zelenski planned this all out.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
He doesn't want peace.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
He just wants our money, our backing, our weapons, and
us to fight his war for him. I say, let
him fight it on his own, and if he wants
to fight with Europe, let him fight. We stay out
of it.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
No World war that way.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Well, I think the President made that clear to him.
You will fight this alone and you will lose. It's
not going to go your way. You're not going to
trick me into World War three. The President said that,
so he shares your opinion, and that's a good opinion.
The point you make at the end is if we
stay out, you really can't have a world war unless
we involve ourselves. But the part that concerns the president
(12:51):
and should even concern you, Derek, is things can change
and you can start staying out. But then as it
gets heated up, and then as they do something, you know,
some atrocity towards France or England, or maybe even get
zealous and go beyond that and hit one of you know,
our military sites, or do something on American soil.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
That's how you get into world war.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
So the President wants peace first and foremost of the
eighteen to nineteen year old stopp dying by the thousands
every day on both sides, but so that we don't
start down a road we can't control. So that's an
easy comment to make on the radio, but history doesn't
show it plays out that way always.
Speaker 10 (13:29):
Scott's next, Michael, you're incorrect again when you say that
the hot head is Zelenski. Yes he is the hothead,
but Putin is a hothead too. So the only sane,
calm one in the whole ordeal is Trump and JD.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Vance. I don't hothead never comes to mind. With Putin.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
It's the guy that wants to re put in place
the Russian Empire map. This is a determined, life long
dictator of power, control and map. He's doing what he
wants to do. President Trump was ready to end something
(14:15):
with assurances and the hothead blew it up. So right
now I know, I think I'm right. There's one hothead
and it's not Trump, It's not JD.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Vans.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Putin is just an evil with aspirations of world dominance
and control. What Zelenski did was planned because he did
it first in Kiev, then he did it again in Munich,
and then he flew all the way here to do
it again. We still got to get in Nick and
Woody when we come back, and then and flip too right,
(14:47):
your morning show and your voice continues momentarily twenty one
minutes after the hour. If you or your family are
ever in a situation and God forbid you are where
you feel like you're being threatened, your life is being threatened,
you need to start with less lethal And sometimes it's
not a perpetrator in your house in the middle of
the night or somebody stalking you as you're walking to
your car.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Brett A. Burner Owner from the Burner Owner.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Group on Facebook recently posted a story about how he
was one time he had forgot to pack his burner
on his walk with his dog and then they were
attacked by an unleashed dog. He left the situation bloodied,
as was his dog, and he learned a serious lesson
never leave home without your burner. Had he had that,
he could have incapacitated the dog, not killed it, and
(15:31):
they would have all walked away. You just never know
how burna is going to save two lives. Legal in
all fifty states, no permits, no background checks.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I own one. You should.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
It's a great compliment to your firearms. The burner launcher
has a powerful detern. You can either use tear gas
or kinetic rounds up to a sixty foot range, and
one shot can incapacitate an attacker for forty minutes. Burne
is trusted by over five hundred government agencies, police departments,
in private security firms with over fourteen thousand and four

Speaker 3 (16:22):
It's your Morning Show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Obviously, the main story is what took place Friday at
the White House between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
A reaction from you all has been outstanding. We're going
to get back to your phone calls and talkbacks in
a moment. Jim just emailed me, Michael, don't forget Zelensky
met prior to meeting with Trump. He met with members
of Congress Democrats and Rhino Republicans, Jim and Franklin, Tennessee. Yeah,
but knowing that he did the same stunt at the
(16:55):
White House that he did in Munich that he did
prior to that and Kiev, I don't know that I'm
gonna put that on the pep talk from the far
left that make this all about Trump and not about peace.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
But it's it's a worthy point.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is insisting the US is
still committed ending this Russian Ukraine world although I have
to admit it can't but possibly be as easy, because
you can't subtly place yourself in Ukraine for mineral rights
purposes and then defend Ukraine if Putin doesn't keep a
ceasefire agreement. Now that Zelensky's out at that strategy, so
(17:28):
I think it's gonna be tougher. Whatever Zelensky did, he
did on purpose. Now he's got to live with it.
But if a wanting world peace, let's keep our eye
on the ball.
Speaker 9 (17:41):
Breton Franklin, Tennessee, On My Morning Show is your Morning
Show with Michael Del Johno.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Your Morning Show airs live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern in great cities like Memphis, Tennessee,
tell Usa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California. We'd love to be a
part of your morning routine, but we're happier here now.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
New York where Cuomo is now making it officially he's
going to run for mayor, so this becomes a Democratic
Party crisis solution for New York City that's not in
a crisis to get rid of a mayor who God forbid,
has spoken to the President and wants to address the
clear and present danger to his citizens, which is illegal
(18:27):
immigrants committing crimes. So this is a solution for the
party's crisis, not for New York, and the solution is
the cause of the crisis. I'd love to talk about
that paper ballance. I've often said it's one of the
top five things I would do to put this country
on autopilot. And sixty percent of America agrees with me.
According to late Is Paul, only twenty six percent disagree.
(18:49):
But here's one of the big solutions, like a prioritized
balanced budget, like a fair or flat tax.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
But will it happen. Probably not happen.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
America would want to prioritize fair, accurate legal elections. I'm
not sure all of America is on the same page there.
I'd love to talk about that Trump finally made English
the official language.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
What does that even mean?
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Is that just some kind of anti migrant statement or
is that something for cultural communication and clarity?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
And how has it never happened before.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
I'd love to talk about that, But obviously the big
story is what happened between Trump and Zelensky at the
White House. And it's your morning show and it's your
voice that must be heard. So let's take the time
and hear it. We were halfway through our list that
is now tripled since then. But let's pick up where
(19:48):
we left off. I think this is woody in Peoria, Arizona.
Speaker 11 (19:51):
Yeah, I think it's an arrogance on the part of Zelensky.
It was definitely planned. I think it's just part of
the bigger and despise of Donald Trump, my world leaders.
He was trying to undermine him. And then, mark my words,
watch tomorrow with the Joint Address of Congress, all these
(20:12):
left stooges dusting off the Ukrainian pins and flags for
the address.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
They will look.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
The President's made it very clear he's not aligned with
Russia or Ukraine. He's aligned with the United States and
what's good for the world. That's what we're on the
brink of here. Do you want to take steps towards
peace or steps towards world war. That's just to keep
you focused because you're going to see some of these
calls start drifting. And then the main question of the
(20:41):
day is if this is what Zelenski did and planned,
why did he bother to come And just to clarify
where what he's coming from, That's why I said, first
and foremost, make sure you watch all forty eight minutes,
not just the clip of when they start fighting. You
don't have context less you watch all four eight minutes
and then know that they just came out of closed
(21:02):
door meetings. And he did this in front of the
press on purpose. But what he did in front of
the press on purpose Friday, he had already done in
Munich and before that in Kiev, So it was his
intent to do this.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Now.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
I don't know what cards he thinks he's holding. To
use the President's analogy. Maybe he wants to just go
forward with Europe, get other people's money, other people's weapons,
and other people's troops to fight his war, carry out
his grudge, even if it starts World War three. But
that's not something I'm necessarily interested in, and we should
(21:38):
make look. Donald Trump has said a million times this
war would have never happened if I were president. Now
he's trying to start World War three while Trump's president.
Don't lose sight of that. Nicholas, named after my son,
is next, regulate the media.
Speaker 12 (21:54):
The media should have more regulation than anything else. That's
the information that's going out to the American people look
at it like an insurance agent. They get arrested if
they give misinformation to their customers.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Regulate the media, well, careful what you asked for.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
That's something Hillary Clinton has always had a priority in doing.
She used to want to have people on the other
side of my glass controlling everything.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I said, Look, you start.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Playing the game of while you're in power, trampling on
freedom of speech. Careful, you'll have to live with it
when you're not in power, And what one person does
with it reasonably, the next person may do recklessly.
Speaker 13 (22:34):
Dwight is next. We have a computer lock up there. Hey, Michael,
this is my take on this.
Speaker 14 (22:45):
He is so used to coming over to this country
and fell in president and body what dirt he has
on his son and leave him with a pocket form
of cash.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Now you can't do that.
Speaker 14 (22:59):
I believe President Trump acted in the best interests of
the American people, and I believe he always will do so.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
The only thing I just feel the need to caution.
I know that's really big on the internet. I don't
know if that's true. I know he was used to
coming and getting money and getting weapons. For some reason,
the Democrats have no problem ignoring radical Islam and an
invasion and slaughter in Israel. They couldn't pick a side
(23:28):
on that, but they can always pick a side against Russia,
while China, of course, is marching towards world dominance. I
just caution you don't take the bait. The solution this
morning is that you taking a side with Trump Razolenski.
It's you staying on the side of not aligning with
(23:52):
either and putting America first and world peace second. Because
this reckless behavehavior that was done at the White House
on Friday, then Munich before that and in Kiev before that,
is trying to create a world war. We shouldn't want
a world war. Eric, I think is next? I have Eric.
Speaker 15 (24:15):
I think England and France is going in the direction
that Zelensky wants them to go, because they're already saying
they're putting boots on the ground and planes in the air,
so they're going to involve themselves, and that's exactly what
Zelenski wants. They're too stupid to see that they're dragging
themselves into a war that should never have happened.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Boom, Eric, you get it. I think Ryan's next. Michael.
Speaker 16 (24:37):
Let's remember JD accused Z of going on a propaganda tour,
and he did pull out photos to show Trump of
all the horror propaganda tour.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Yeah, and that came out if you watch all forty
eight minutes, because he tries twice, Zelensky tries to make
JD out to be the idiot in the room. Once
was over that, well, you've never even come. And I
think Rubio backed it up too in that forty eight minutes.
We know what happens when we come, We know the
(25:10):
tour you take us on, but everything that has happened
is irrelevant to now.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
You got to let all that go.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
It's like a husband and wife going through divorce and
they can't get their settlement, so they go to a mediator.
Of course, both sides hate each other. Of course both
sides don't want to make any concessions, but both will
bring up everything from the past.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
You got to get beyond that, and you've got to
move ahead.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
See the problem is Donald Trump needs Putin and Zelensky
both on the same page. Neither of you are winning.
You're both losing thousands of young men a day, and
we're all playing a risky game with World War three.
Enough now how do we move forward? And Zelensky is
(26:00):
too hot headed to get there. Ben's gonna make a
point about Russia and Christians and that I'm giving some
neo Christian view.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
I'm gonna spare you all that.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Look, do you think that Vladimir Putin is just interested
in Ukraine? And the answer should be obviously no. And
if it's not, look, there's biblical ways of looking at things,
there are geopolitical ways of looking at things, and there
are historic ways of looking at things. All three prisms
point to he's either trying to put back together the
(26:32):
Soviet Union, which I don't think is his purpose, though
I don't think he likes they're not the Soviet Union anymore.
I think he's trying to reassemble the Russian Empire map.
It really isn't a biblical conversation at that point, it's
a geopolitical conversation. And the minute he gets to Poland,
it's World War So I don't know where you were going, Ben,
(26:53):
but I don't have time for that. Is there anybody
else you want to get it before I move on
to top five stories, or you want to bring it.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Flip?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Is somebody completely different? I think You're gonna find this
very refreshing.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Don't forget tomorrow is the only day of the calendar
that is a command March fourth.
Speaker 16 (27:11):
Also about to give a shout out to my nephew,
Daniel Puckett's lovely wife Mary Katherine Mary and son Steele.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Happy anniversary. Anything you need from public coach to Russian
store five years? Oh wow, March fourth? Okay, happy March fourth.
You know what, Flip reminds me of Bree Tennis, who
I love. By the way, Flip that. I'm not making
fun of you, Flipp. I'm loving this.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
While the whole everybody's getting involved in a world war fight.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
This morning. You give me a little shout out.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
You're reminding us of March fourth. I need more flips
in my life.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Flip first.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Anything else you want a diary, We're here for you,
all right.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Top five stories of the day.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Waking up, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is insisting the
US is committed to ending the.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Russian Ukraine War no matter what Zelenski did.
Speaker 17 (28:02):
Rubio told ABC's This Week he hopes Ukrainian President Vladimir
Zelenski will see that and come to the negotiating table.
He said a cease firing deal will be difficult, but
it's the best path forward. Rubio's comments come days after
President Trump and Zelenski had a tense exchange while meeting
at the White House to discuss the deal that would
have given the US access to Ukrainian minerals in exchange
for providing aid.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I'm Mark Mayfield, Well, it wasn't in exchange for providing
aid to put America on the ground in Ukraine with interest,
to hold putin accountable, to not break any ceasefire end
of war agreements.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
That's the strategy that's been ruined.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Now there's a reason why Marco Rubio is Secretary of
State and I am not. I'm more like House Speaker
Mike Johnson, who thinks, if this thing's going to move forward,
not only can Zelenski not be in control of Ukraine
after peace is reached, we can't reach peace as long
as he's in control.
Speaker 18 (28:52):
Appearing on NBC's Meet the Press, Johnson says Zelenski needs
to show the proper gratitude for US assistance during the
rush of the Ukraine War and work towards ending the war.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Something has to change either.
Speaker 17 (29:02):
He needs to come to his senses and come back
to the table in gratitude, or someone else needs to
leave the country to do that.
Speaker 18 (29:09):
Johnson dismissed claims the US appears to be siding with
Russia in the conflict, insisting that President Trump is still
committed to opposing Vladimir Putin. This comes after Trump and
Zelenski had a heated exchange of words while meeting at
the White House last week. I'm Tammy Trihio.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
That's a portion of the American people's problem, and a
good portion of the media's problem. Mostly media. Nobody's watching
or listening to anymore. They think it has to be
one way or the other. He must be on Putiny.
The President couldn't have made it more clear. I'm not
saying this. This is quote unquote. If you go watch
the whole forty eight minutes, I'm not aligned with you
or Russia. I'm aligned with the United States of America
(29:49):
and the money of ours you're using, the weapons of
ours you're using, and the amount of your kids.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
And their kids that are dying daily. And i want
it stopped.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
And we're all in the trajectory towards World war and
I want to stop that. That's the side to pick.
You want World War peace over Zelenski. By the way,
if you were counting the pope out, big mistake.
Speaker 19 (30:09):
The Vatican says the Pope has met with church officials
and offered thanks to well wishers for their prayers and support.
In the latest update on his condition, the Vatican says
the pope had rested well overnight. The eighty eight year
old Pontiff was admitted to the hospital February fourteenth with
respiratory problems and developed to double pneumonia. A full medical
update on his condition is expected this evening.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I'm Scott Carr.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
If the movie Sweet Home Alabama had a baby with
the movie Pretty Woman, they would have named it Honora.
It stole both plots. It also took all the top
honors at the Oscars.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Thank you so much. We've made it to be independently.
Speaker 15 (30:48):
If you're trying to make independent films, please keep doing it.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
We need more.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
The film was nominated in six categories and won five
of them, and it was all the Biggies Best Director,
Best Original Screenplay, Best at and Best Picture. Zoe's Landa
Zaldana won her first Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, and
Emilia Perez, while the Best Actress went to Mickey Madison
and her role in Anora. Best Supporting Actor went to
Kieren Kulkin, who probably got the Best Acceptance Speech Award
(31:16):
for his role in A Real Pain, and Adrian Bodie
got the most political as he took home the Best
Actor in his role in The Brutalist and Basketball Caps
beat the Blazer's Son lost to the Wolves, Lakers beat
the Clippers in the Thunder Up the Spurs, and Hockey
Blues fell sixty three in Dallas to the Stars. Pred's
of course lost. You want to know by how much
they lost? For to nothing to the Rangers. Birthdays, Modern Families.
(31:37):
Julie Bowen is fifty five Celtic Great. Jason Tatum twenty
seven singer. It was Havana Mumbaya. I got my heart
in Havana Umba whatever. Camilla Cabella is twenty nine years
old and Gold medalist one fast runner. Jackie Joyner Kersey
probably could still beat me in a fifty yard dash.
Sixty four years old today. And if it's your birthday,
(31:59):
Happy birthday, So glad you were born. That's your top
five stories of the day.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Our White House correspondent is John Decker. He is a
US Supreme Court bar attorney. He has covered eight presidents
as a White House correspondent. I had mentioned last week
that every time I see one of those memes, whether
it's Barack Obama, Hillary Clint, whoever it is, they're always
looking through the door peephole and you can just see
the image of Cash Patel standing there.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
I still laugh at that. For some reason, I'm that immature.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
But I have a new one in the midst of
the of the fight at the White House, and this
is what the whole world is still talking about on
Monday morning. There's a picture of John Decker City. Everybody's
looking around, fighting, screaming, and you're just sitting quietly with
a newspaper.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
What were you reading?
Speaker 20 (32:51):
I was just reading the editorial page of the.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
Wall Street Journal. I was in my island, my.
Speaker 20 (32:58):
Oasis, and so that's that's.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
What I do.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
Herry you talk about cool under pressure, you were just
not I prod let them fight. I'm reading What do
you make of this? And what has been the response?
Since I've got my take and I've given it to
my listeners. My listeners have given their take, but you
followed this.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
I watched it. You were there.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
I watched it in its entirety for forty eight minutes.
I also know what happened, or what the take is
of what happened behind closed doors prior to that in
Munich and prior to that and Kiev. But what do
you make what's the world making of what it saw?
Speaker 8 (33:35):
Well, you know, after that blow up in the Oval
Office on Friday, President Zelenski traveled across the Atlantic. He
met with UK Prime Minister Tir Starmer and also King Charles.
And it seems to me right now like Europe is
going to step it up in the sense that they
are committed to increasing military support for Ukraine.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
They are also committed to providing those security guarantees that
Presidents Zlynsky had sought from the United States. I think
that the relationship between Zelensky and Trump can be repaired.
I believe that, you know.
Speaker 20 (34:09):
And I think that it's important that it is.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
Repaired right now, though it's in a very bad place,
and you know, it takes time to repair this, this relationship,
but I think it can be done.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
You know, for a guy that was reading the paper,
you followed this very well. No, So in all seriousness,
there's a quote from Donald Trump in that forty eight
minute exchange. So let's get us try to get him
to pick a side. I'm not taking a side. You
clearly hate each other. You're not going to solve this.
It's never going to end. I'm on the side of
the United States of America and I'm on the side
(34:40):
of what's good for the world. That's the side I'm on.
I think there was a strategic play. The mineral rights
helficis pay back all the money that we've given you,
and it also puts US in Ukraine, which gives us
an interest if he does. I mean, that's the security
assurance that we're there.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Now. Well, now that strategy's blown up.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
And if Europe wants to get on board, all for that,
but not if it takes us a step closer to World.
Speaker 20 (35:02):
War Well, that's what the president says.
Speaker 6 (35:06):
Uh, that's for sure.
Speaker 20 (35:08):
You know, I think that, you know, if you talk.
Speaker 6 (35:11):
About the United States and traditionally where our allies should be,
where the United States's place in the world should be.
We are the leader, we are the one superpower in
the world, and we want peace well, that's right, and
you never want to be on the side of Vladimir Putin.
You know, if you if you are conservative, if you
(35:33):
are traditional conservative, if you are a Republican, you have
in your DNA what Ronald Reagan said, which is the
Soviet Union. Now, Russia is the evil Empire. It is
not an ally of the United States.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
I think.
Speaker 6 (35:47):
Now, do you have to say that out in public
if you're the president of the United States. No, Ronald
Reagan did, by the way, But you don't have to
do that.
Speaker 20 (35:54):
If you want to be like what's called.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Sit here and call the man evil and then get
on the phone, they'll go, hey, Laddie, let's find peace.
Speaker 7 (36:01):
You know.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
So that the president kind of made those points, but
all right, we'll see where it goes from here. Back
to your newspaper, I was very impressed. The whole world
was watching that fight. You were reading a newspaper. Cool
and comm John Decker my favorite.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning show
