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.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell Jordan.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
All right, Rory here, let's all behave and be professional.
Seven minutes after the hour. Good morning, and welcome to Friday, March,
the sixth year of Our Lord, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
It is three six twenty six. If you're just waking up.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Christy Nome is out as Homeland Security Secretary. The House
has voted down the War Powers Resolution Act, and House
Speaker Mike Johnson just came right out and said the
US has no intention of being good.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
War Triple A. You're gonna hear a lot of reports.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Oh, gasoline prices soaring due to this war. It's up
twenty seven cents. It average nationwide is three dollars and
twenty five cents.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
The twenty seven cents is soaring, almost coming up on
a week now after the war. And Britney Spears arrested
for driving under the influence in California. That's all the
top stories. Nothing quite as big as Christy Nome being out.
The questions you should be asking yourself. Is Christy Nome
being a sacrificial offering to the Democrats? Okay, we fired Christie?
(01:32):
Now will you fund TSA, ice and homeland security? Or
was the two hundred and twenty million dollar ad campaign
the final straw? And I don't know how we'll ever know,
but we can always ask our national correspondent Roy O'Neil.
We're told the affair, the way she handled Minneapolis, and
this two hundred and twenty million dollar that's the final straw.
(01:53):
You're gone, but not completely gone and fired, reassigned. None
of this is making sense to me.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
There's still a bit of its emotion, right, You're not
a cabinet secretary anymore.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
A special envoy doesn't have the same weight as it were.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
But according to Senator John Kennedy, the Republican from Louisiana,
he was the one that started asking the tough questions
about that ad campaign and whether or not President Trump
was aware of it. She said under oath that she
had talked to the President about it several times. Kennedy
says he got a call from the President that night,
a few hours after the testimony.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Said the President was enraged.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
And that started the ball rolling to push her out
and to bring Mark Wayne Mullen in.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
All right, now, christynom happened to be here in Nashville.
It's awful, embarrassing to get fired while you're delivering a speech.
And her response was, well, the President tapped her to
get the word out. Obviously, you know, leadership you would
think would be more specific than that. But I mean,
because there's been great success in securing the border on
(02:53):
her watch. The affair, the handling of calling you know,
these protesters slash activists, domestic terrorists, that was all a botch.
And if it's this two hundred and twenty million dollars,
well it was successful. We've had nearly two million people
self deport So is it the two hundred and twenty
million dollar price tag or the fact that quote unquote
(03:17):
an ad that featured her face.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I'm trying to figure that out.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Yeah, and well even Senator Kennedy brought that up during
the questioning. He said it seemed like more of an
ad to promote her rather than to send out this message.
And I think that was the other thing that you know,
these other headlines, the canoodling with Cory or whatever it
may be that was happening, the luxury jets, and some
of the spending that was happening there.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
And of course there's a series.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Of bad headlines surrounding what happened in Minnesota, with again
the President getting frustrated having to send in Tom Homan
to clean things up and get that taken care of
in a matter of days, versus how they lost this
political issue. You know, immigration such a strong point for
the Republicans. They can went to the southern border success,
(04:02):
but then the way they were enforcing things that caused
a lot of that support to draw Republicans. Yeah, not
a lot though, I mean I don't I'll tell you.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
First of all, I think probably the President would love
to have Tom Holman be his Secretary of Homeland Security.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
That would be problematic.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
So the next step of the equation is, well, why
Mark Wayne Mullen, My question is why would Mark Wayne
Mullen want to do this?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
What could it be two years tops?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
And then on top of that, you know, I understand
that he would go for confirmation among his peers, so
it would be the club of one hunter. They're not
going to vote against him. Yeah, so that would make
it easy a governor could appoint his replacement. And I
didn't look up when his election is, but it's it
would at least secure that Senate seat for up to
(04:45):
four years.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
I mean, I get the strategy.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I just don't get why Mark Wayne Mullen would want
to give up a Senate seat for that.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Because there's a pretty good chance you're going to be
in the minority party in a few months as well,
which's there's no fun in that.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Well all right, that's an interesting point.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
But if her leadership was so bad and she was
a constant mistake and bad image waiting to happen, why
reappoint her to anything?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Well, you sort of shuffled her out the back door.
I don't think.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
I don't think you and I will be talking much
about the shield, the Western Hemisphere shield.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Well no, but I mean, just fire her. I don't
understand why that wasn't the case. That's sort of safe
face too. Well, yeah, it's all just now. And look,
she's also sucking more oxygen out of the room than
the president.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I don't think that was something that he wanted either.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
All right, so Christy Noma is gone, Mark Wayne Mullen,
we don't anticipate any issues getting confirmed in his own club.
And the next question was this a sacrificial lamb and
offering to the left. And I don't think they're going
to be any more cooperative when it comes to homeland security.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
But go ahead, and let me just add one quick thing.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Also, when she's shut down FEMA, essentially she shut down
the gravy train and the pork train. You know, these
members of Congress go a long way to get that
FEMA money for their home districts.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
She gummed up the works.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
With ve essentially shutting it down, shutting off a lot
of that pork that was flowing out to districts.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
That is no way to win friends on Capitol Hill.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
All Right, Rory's gonna be going back in the third
hour both the House and the Senate get President Trump's
some leeway to continue these military operations. As I mentioned
moments ago, Mike Johnson coming out after the House voted
down the War Powers resolution and making it crystal clear
the United States has no intentions of being at war.
There's no reason to enact this, meaning if you read
the actual law, nobody expects this to go beyond sixty days,
(06:32):
and there's a thirty day grace. No one thinks this
is going to last ninety days. In fact, the president
who originally said four weeks says we're running ahead of schedule.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
So this is political theater.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
It's been shot down in the Senate, it's been shot
down in the House now, and the speaker saying, nobody
expects us to be at actual quote unquote war. As
I mentioned, you're going to hear news reports everywhere. Roger
had sent me an email earlier this morning. I should
just read that that way, you guys are still starring.
(07:06):
I was thinking about the rising gas prices, and I
don't believe it's as big as of an impact as
the media is trying to portray it. I search for
how much the average household uses in a year, and
I got back numbers that range from six hundred and
fifty to eight hundred and ten gallons per year. These
both sound a little low. So this illustration, I'm going
to round up to one thousand gallons per year. Recent
(07:28):
stories have suggested twenty six cents times fifty two weeks.
Ba ba ba up. You know we're looking at about
ten dollars a week. Well, everything in my source, the
headlines are all gas prices sore, as America wars with
Iran sores sores. And if I said the price of
gasoline is soored, I think you'd be thinking higher than
(07:50):
twenty seven cents a week later, And as we've talked
about throughout this week, the strait of horror moves will
open up.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
We're only six days into this now.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
The President has reserves that are replenished, we have the
commitment from OPEC to produce and distribute at a high level.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
It's not like we're at odds and OPEC is going
to choke us off.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
The only one with an energy question mark or crisis
is really Russia. I would even say China, because China
will ensure that straight is opened up. They're gonna want
that oil. The presidents also suggested maybe military escorts. Nobody
sees this as a potential long term crisis and at
(08:35):
short term and twenty seven cents. Is that really a crisis?
Is that really soaring? I shouldn't even have to answer it.
Things that might get lost today because of focus on
Gnome or focus on war. The US has destroyed an
(08:56):
Iranian drone carrier. This is a major takeout. And again
they have been doing more effective retaliatory bombing with drones
than they have with missiles. Now again we're safe and
sound here in America watching this like it's a television event.
(09:17):
That's not to say that if you know you're in
the United Emirates or if you're in Israel today, you
know you're not hearing explosions. You know, even even when
the Iron Dome takes out a missile in the sky
above you, it's still allowed explosion, and some of those
missiles get through. But the drones have been the most effective,
(09:40):
and the main carrier that delivers those drones was taken out,
we find out from the admiral in the area. That's
a major victory and progress. Meanwhile, at Home House Resolution
ten ninety nine, which was going to reaffirm Iran remaining
the large state sponsor of terrorism, which is just a fact.
(10:05):
I mean, anybody talking to you about foreign policy, and
they don't bring up the alliance of China, Russia and Iran,
and specifically in terms of Iran, China mostly an economic
threat or a threat to Taiwan. Russia a threat obviously
to Ukraine and Eastern Europe and potentially the world with
nuclear weapons. But Iran specifically because of its proxies and
(10:30):
its funding and arming of terrorist organization. It's just it's
a fact. And you had fifty three Democrats vote against this,
all of the squad. Do you remember two years ago
we would talk about, hey, the Democrat Party is an
eye problem Israel. They can't figure out if they're on
(10:52):
israel side or the terrorists. Well, for fifty three Democrats
in this vote, they're clearly on the side of terrorists.
I mean, you're either delusional or you're in support of terrorism.
How could you not acknowledge what they simply are. There
is another bad sign for the left. And these are
(11:14):
all things that we're sensing and feeling. And it's a
new Rasmusen research that shows, well, we'll start with twenty
five percent of likely US voters that's the whole country
say socialism is better than capitalism. Remember we used to
talk about the squad, and we'd say, well, what are they?
(11:37):
A percentage of this party is crazy, anti American, anti Israel,
anti capitalism, and we would say about twenty six percent,
Well there's your number. And if you go inside the
partisan numbers, seventy seventy percent of Republicans believe capitalism is
better than socialism. Just thirty six percent of thirty six
percent of Democrats agree. You have a majority of Democrats
(12:02):
that believe socialism is better than capitalism. I don't know
about you, but are you shocked? Thirty percent of Republicans
don't have a firm opinion the capitalism is better. Fifty
percent of Democrats would vote for a candidate who supported socialism.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
I got a dismount because the.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Clock, you know, I may enter the podcast world so
I can finish a thought. Not only has Bernie Sanders
handed the torch to AOC. From a partisan party standpoint,
(12:42):
things have never looked better for AOC. Now, don't get
me wrong, I know Bernie Sanders would have got the
Democratic nomination for President of the United States in twenty sixteen.
They used super delegates, the DNC got involved and rigged
it for Hillary. And then in twenty twenty they cut
a deal and rigged it for Biden, and they hung
(13:02):
on to Biden through sinility till it was too late,
and then just handed it to Kamala. Three presidential cycles,
Democrat voters weren't allowed to choose their nominee. And this
time it's going to be AOC, and this time Democrats
are openly in support.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Is Mom Dannia Fluke is AOC of Fluke. No, this
is what this party has become.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Now.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I don't think they're ever going to be dumb enough
to change their name to socialist, but make no mistake
about it about it. The majority of the Democrat Party
is now openly socialist. That would mean Mayor Pete isn't
socialist enough, Gavin Newsom isn't socialist enough. That means they're
a very divided party heading into this primary. But the
(13:50):
advantage leads to AOC, which is why I'm always warning
you She's going to be the early leader and the
DNC is going to get involved, just like in twenty four,
just like in twenty just like in twenty sixteen. And
I think that's when you get Romney, Manuel Wes Moore
or some combination. But oh, it's coming because oh they're
(14:11):
really socialist.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
All right, My dog Scout.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Just seeming to have no energy breath that would kill
a small child, lots of allergies and itching, and lots
of fur issues, and some soreness in his joints. And
what did I think, as someone who loves him, Well,
he's getting older, he's pushing eight years old. Then I
(14:43):
heard about rough greens. I use the same food. I
just sprinkle on the rough greens, and supposedly he's just
going to come to life. Why because doctor Dennis Black
put this formula together, and what it's going to give
is everything that's baked out of his food, live bioavatable nutrients,
(15:04):
essential vitamins, minerals, probiotics, digestive enzymes, and mega oils. All
these things work together to improve nutrient absorption, maintain healthy
muscle and joints, enhance overall vitality, and increase length of life. Well,
that would be a great notion. There's nothing I wouldn't
pay to have Boomer a week more, let alone years.
(15:24):
So I got my Jumpstart trial bag and started sprinkling
it on. I didn't know what to expect, I'm telling you.
In about three days he was a different dog, bouncing
around like a puppy. Bad breath gone, itching gone. Don't
change your dog food. Do what I did, what I

Now you're wishing my microphone didn't work well? Every day?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Every day, This is your morning show with Michael del Chuno.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
Good morning out here in California, the price of diesel
was nearly six bucks a gallon as I traveled from
Sacramento area to Los Angeles Impact this week.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
I would call that soaring.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
Did they forget that we were paying almost five dollars
a gallon for gas about four years ago with Joe Biden,
Have we had a memory lapse or something?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Yeah, I can't speak to California and certain areas. I
can't speak to people that might be gouging or a
boutique blends or so on and so forth. I can
tell you that the Triple A report is the national
averages jumped twenty seven cents, and that's since the beginning
of the war, so we're only at three dollars and
(17:16):
something since a gallon. I wouldn't call a twenty seven
cent temporary increase, a soaring or a crisis.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
But that's just me. Doesn't mean you can't find one somewhat.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
My name is Stuart, I'm from Monkeytown, Tennessee, and my
morning shows You're a morning show with pizza Boy.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
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.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Enjoy the podcast. Thanks for making us a part of
your morning routine. But don't forget if if you don't
catch the show live, you can always catch the podcast.
Jeffrey promises it's up by nine to thirty ish Central
ten thirty Eastern every morning. And I know with the
weekend upon us. Some of you may want to go back,
maybe catch We talked live in Israel with yel Ex
(18:20):
team with the International Fellowship of christiansen Jews, just about
what it's like to be in war and on the
ground and the needs that they have. But some of
you may miss Friday with forty seven next hour and
want to catch you.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
You can always catch up on the podcast this weekend.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Just search your morning show where Michael del Jorno into
the iHeart app and once you find it, give it
a preset.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
That way, it's waiting for you every morning. We had
a caller. We had a caller earlier.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
We can't seem to find it now, but he was
basically saying, well, gasline is six dollars a gallon here
in New Hampshire.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
I would call that soaring.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
You might want to drive around a little bit because
according to what I just researched, regular unloaded fuel is
averaging threeh six to three point fifteen per gallon in
New Hampshire right now. That would be up some twenty
something since the soaring level. Your pain sounds like something
completely different going on, all right, Well, obviously we're bombing
(19:16):
a lot of things we just took out the main
carrier of all their drones, but ammunitions might be running.
Just the stockpile anyway, a little low and depleting. And
on Friday, President Trump is going to meet with the
defense contractors to step up production. White House correspondent John
Deckers with us. You must be exhausted. I'm tired from
looking at all the pictures of meetings you've had to
(19:38):
cover this week.
Speaker 8 (19:39):
But that's one coming. Yeah, that is one coming, and
it's an important meeting. There have been a significant number
of those Patriot missile Patriot missile batteries that have been
used during the course of the past seven days, and
that does have an impact in terms are of our inventory.
And so that's not just the Patriots, it's other missile systems.
(20:03):
We'll be meeting with those defense contractors to talk about
ramping up production. You know, we don't know how long
this conferen's going to last. The President, Michael, as you know,
has spoken about it lasting a number of weeks. That
being said, the US's and our allies are using a
significant number of munitions to fight against Iran right now,
(20:25):
all right, so we do have a matrix in play.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I get it. It's frustrating. People get sick of hearing
me use the word matrix, But I don't have any
other way to describe it. If it was a Democrat
president doing this right now, maybe Republicans will be doing
the same stunt. But both efforts in the Senate and
the House to vote down the vote for a war
powers resolution shot down. In fact, HOWSE Speaker Mike Johnson
(20:50):
saying the US has no intention of being at war
beyond the sixty day and with thirty.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Day grace ninety day period.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
But it's amazing how those in a left bubble will
believe that this is an illegal war because that's the
narrative that's given to them. And you can come back
at them with what Obama did here or another president
did there, and it's facts don't matter anymore. It's just
a crazy, crazy time. I'll just leave it at those
two efforts have been shot down. Speaking of shot down,
Christy Nome's gone. So John, you're in and around the
(21:18):
White House. What's the real scoop? Was it the two
hundred and twenty million dollar ad campaign featuring her face
quote unquote, or the way she handled Minneapolis.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Or all the above? What was the final straw.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
Well, it's all the above, but when you talk about
the final straw, it was her appearance before two congressional
committees this week, one of the Senate, one of the House,
and it did not go well for her. And you
mentioned that two hundred and twenty million dollar ad campaign
that featured prominently Christy Nome that really.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Rubbed President Trump the wrong way.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
And when she answered, in response to a question from
Louisiana Republican Senator John Kennedy whether the President knew this
two hundred and twenty million dollar ad spend, Christino replied, yes,
yes he did, and that wasn't true. And I think
that ultimately was the nail in her political coffin and
(22:12):
ended her tenure as the Secretary of Homeland Security.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Now, the way she presented it was the President tapped
me to get the word out about voluntary deportation, and
then it just seems like, well, but nobody ever got
back to anybody and said, well, the AD's going to
feature me, and the schedule is a two hundred and
twenty million dollar campaign, because I mean two up to
two million people have self deported, So you could say
(22:36):
it worked just like there's no border.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Crossings under her watch.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
But the affair, the handling in Minneapolis, and maybe this
price tag or is it the featuring of her face,
which I found to be very odd that keeps coming up?
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Focused on the price tag. The president focused on the
price tag.
Speaker 8 (22:55):
Two hundred and twenty million dollars, the President said yesterday,
in response to a question concerning this, said, I spent
less than that to get elected president. That bothers the president.
You know, it's how you spend the taxpayer money. That's
not a good use of taxpayer money when you factor
and let's just say it is how many.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
You say that have self deportated? What was the two
million so you're paying? I don't know what that ends
up being. Yeah, it's it's not a good bang for
your book. Put it that way.
Speaker 8 (23:24):
And you know the fact that Christy Gnome is there
on horseback and it's prominently featured, and it looks like
a campaign ad for her that rubbed a lot of members,
Republican members the wrong way as well.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
So from me, yeah, I'm not going to mess I'm
just kind of wondering why he didn't just fire her,
Why shuffle her off to somewhere else.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
And by the way, I watched that entire Yeah, I
was gonna says he has soft landings.
Speaker 8 (23:49):
I mean Mike Waltz was removed as the National Security Advisor.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
He is soft landing. Was actually US Ambassador to the
United Nations.
Speaker 8 (23:57):
So he provides soft landings for people that he asked
to leave their administration post. And that's what he did
with Christy Naim yesterday.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
But if she lacks leadership, I don't like moving bad
hires around into other areas. All right, So now we
turn to Mark Wayne Mullen. First of all, he'll get
confirmed in his club of one hundred. I get the
strategy there. His governor will pick his successor. I get
the strategy there. What I don't get is why Mark
Wayne Maullin would do this for two years and give
up his Senate seat.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (24:28):
I think that there's something to be said about being
a part of this president's cabinet. The president understands that
is something where you can make a difference, and it
certainly elevates his profile nationally when you're Secretary of the
Department of Homeland Security. So I think for all of
those reasons, even if it is for three more years.
I think you know, he factored in everything and said, plus,
(24:51):
I'm loyal to this president.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
If he asked me to do something, I'm going to
do it. Well.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
They are very very very close friends, so that could
be part of it, that loyalty. What's coming up today
on the White House Briefing Room with John.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
Decker, We're talking about the war in Iraq, We're talking Iran,
We're talking about the firing of Christy Nome, and in
addition to that, we're talking about some legal decisions that
have been made over the course of the past few days,
including a legal decision regarding Harris that the administration certainly
will not like and they are going to appeal. So
(25:23):
that's what we'll be discussed on today's White House Briefing Room.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah, the White House Briefing Room is on your right heart.
App to search it when you find it, give it
a preset that way, It's waiting for you every morning,
and we'll talk again on Monday. John, have the kind
of weekend out of the very merely dream of I
know you've earned.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
It, all right.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
As Operation Epic Fury intensifies, the world is bracing for
whatever comes next, and people of faith are praying. I
pray and praying for freedom, for God's people to be protected. Meanwhile,
this is not just a prayer event or a television
event in the Holy Land. Right now, red alert sirens
fill the air and you've got fifteen seconds to reach
(25:59):
the nearest bomb shelter, and then you're holding your scared children,
wondering where your elderly parents are. This is a serious situation,
This is a real threat, This is a different reality
in Israel. Faith and freedom, they're not an abstract idea.
It's all they're clinging to. And at the International Fellowship
(26:20):
of Christians and Jews were on the ground preparing large
scale distributions of life saving food, first aid and emergency
essentials for security personnel, while helping ensure that the hospitals,
emergency rooms and shelters are stocked with critical medical supplies.
Always laser focused on Israel's most vulnerable, and that being
the sick, the elderly, the children and families and greatest need.
(26:46):
Your generous gifts are what make this possible. Now is
your time to take a stand with Israel beyond a
political stand. Once you stand with us when we need
you most eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ to
rush your gift today called eight eight eight four eight
eight I f CJ. Or you can give securely online
at IFCJ dot org. That's IFCJ dot org.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
It's your Morning show with Michael del Johno.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
I always remember reading the Bible, and so often you
would hear this phrase, guards your heart and mind, guards
your heart and mind, and at some point you just
get a sense of you know, I wonder if we
understand how important a heart in mind is, how much
it's under attack, how easy it is to penetrate. And
then Paul later, as only an attorney can, lays out
(27:39):
for eleven chapters the law condemning us all and the
only way to be covered. And after all that legal ease,
he starts chapter twelve with Therefore, you know, as somebody
(27:59):
that used to love cliffs notes, you know, teachers would
always say, don't use the cliffs notes. You better read
the book or you're not gonna be able to get
an A on the test. And I get a's with
cliffs notes all the time.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
They don't lean that much out.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
You can boil things down, and would Paul boil it
down to don't conform to the patterns of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. That's
an essence of don't conform, don't follow. What is conformity
When you live in the South, After long enough, you'll
start saying, y'all, I mean, we're conformist by nature. We
(28:31):
are surrounded online, on television, in print, everywhere with narrative,
and I wonder how often it creeps in. I just
had a caller say, I don't know what you're talking about.
Gas is six dollars here in New Hampshire. I'd call
that soaring, and then I'm googling and it's not. I mean,
(28:52):
I don't doubt maybe that somebody tried to fleece you
at six dollars a gallon, But I can look up
what gasoline is in New Hampshire right now and.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
It's not sixteen. It's not six dollars. I could play
this story for you right now.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Gas prices are soaring across the United States. And what
a soaring conjure in your mind? Because if the headline
is gas prices are soaring, what did they call it
when Russia invaded to Ukraine? Because if this is soaring
(29:30):
twenty seven cents? What was it went up a dollar
and a half or what was it all while Joe
Biden was president? And even if you want to make
the case, oh, gas prices are soaring across the United
States since the start of military operations in Iran? Is
(29:51):
that the words you would use to say up twenty
seven cents on average?
Speaker 7 (29:55):
TRIPLEA reports the national average jump nearly twenty seven cents
since last week to three twenty five a gallon. We
haven't seen a similar weekly jump since March of twenty
twenty two, during the start of the Russia Ukraine War.
Political reports the Trump administration is considering a temporary holiday
on the gasoline.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Tax to ease prices.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
A Markneyfield, Now, again, short term, we got to get
the straight of horror moves open.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Right now.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
It's insurance companies that have concerns. So whether that's going
to take military escort the first to go through, I
don't know. Offsetting things, we've got the reserve, we've got
the commitment of OPEC to produce more, release more. Presidents
(30:44):
kicking around the idea of the military. But no one
thinks this is a long term problem. And if it
is a short term problem. Six days in, it's a
twenty seven cent problem. When Russian invaded Ukraine, what did
it go up to five something a gallon?
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Read? Do you remember that number?
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Five O five? Yeah, five oh five a gallon? And
the average right now is in the threes. Then I
had you talking in my ear. So you need me
to do current gas prices in California, I'm showing regular
(31:28):
is four ninety a gallon. I think that has more
to do with tax and I think it has more
to do with the boutique blends than a necessary rise
since this war.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
Yeah, and I think he was speaking more on diesel fuel.
I've got that. I've got the talk back if you
want to hear it again. Uh, there's mid grade do Okay.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
So a month ago in California gas was four dollars
and forty two cents a gallon in California now it's
four dollars and ninety cents. So that's showing about fifty cents,
which is well above the national average.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Up since then.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
So I mean again, I you use things that gas
prices are soaring, I'm expecting more than twenty seven cents
after a week. And I know it's not going to
be many weeks before it comes back down again. But
that's how narratives, you know, create a sense and a
feeling that might be greater than what it actually is.
(32:28):
Was my only point. Meanwhile, President Trump says he needs
to be personally involved in selecting Iran's next supreme leader.
Speaker 9 (32:34):
The president was responding to reports that the Late I
had told Ali Hameni's son is set to take that role,
which Trump told Acxios was unacceptable. Although Trump acknowledges that
fifty six year old at most Tabahameni is the most
likely successor, he said, we want someone that'll bring harmony
and peace to Iran. The president says he has to
be involved in the appointment, but also shared with reporters
(32:55):
at the Whitehouse that quote most of the people we
had in mind are dead end quote. When asked his
potential picks to succeed, how many, I'm Jim Roop.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
This is another area that's tough for me.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
I understand taking out a threat, an immediate threat to Israel,
an immediate threat to America, an immediate threat to the region.
You simply cannot allow a terrorist nation like this to
have weapons of mass destruction. That they can deliver personally
or have their surrogates deliver. Their motive is seventeen or
(33:29):
fourteen hundred years old and it's not going to go away,
and the opportunity to be the first moment they have it,
so you have to cut them off at the means.
These advanced centrifugias and enriched uranium are weapons grade, so
you can use strategic strikes and keep kicking the can,
(33:50):
or you can decapitate the snake and give them all
a chance to reassess. But ultimately the future of Iran
should belong to the people. The threat of Iran should
be taken care of by the world, and unfortunately it's
just Israel and America. The future of Iran belongs to
the Iranian people. Otherwise, you've just opened up Pandora's box
(34:11):
of nation building, so I might want to work on
how we're wording that. Two dozen states, including New York,
are suing again to block President Trump's latest global tariff.
Speaker 10 (34:21):
Attorneys general from New York, California, Arizona, and Oregon are
leading round two after the US Supreme Court ruled the
President's tariffs unlawful just weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
And now the President has chosen a different round. New
York's Letitia James.
Speaker 10 (34:37):
California ag Rob Bonta says Trump's latest effort counts on
a gold standard provision in a nineteen seventy four Trade
Act law.
Speaker 8 (34:45):
It relies on an outdated system of currency exchange that
we don't even use anymore.
Speaker 10 (34:50):
Arizona's Chris May says Trump's unlawful levies drive up costs
for consumers.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
And we are going to stop them again. I'm Sarah
Lee Tessler.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
You know, I guess we never know what somebody becomes
famous over. So somebody could be a trained singer, but
then they become famous as an actor or actress, and
then when they eventually sing, it surprises you. This one
surprised me. I'm gonna play it, and I know in
a day of AI you could make anybody in pitch,
you know, control of me, you make anybody sound good.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
But listen and then I'll tell you who it is.
This is your.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Ann Hathaway's first single, single, Burial from her upcoming film
Mother Mary, is now out. Mother Mary is a psychological
drama thriller that will see Hathaway play a pop star
on the verge of making a comeback. The Mother Mary
album and film are both set to be released on
April to seventeenth.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Ndheld, Joano
Speaker 4 (36:01):
The
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.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell Jordan.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
All right, Rory here, let's all behave and be professional.
Seven minutes after the hour. Good morning, and welcome to Friday, March,
the sixth year of Our Lord, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
It is three six twenty six. If you're just waking up.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Christy Nome is out as Homeland Security Secretary. The House
has voted down the War Powers Resolution Act, and House
Speaker Mike Johnson just came right out and said the
US has no intention of being good.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
War Triple A. You're gonna hear a lot of reports.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Oh, gasoline prices soaring due to this war. It's up
twenty seven cents. It average nationwide is three dollars and
twenty five cents.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
The twenty seven cents is soaring, almost coming up on
a week now after the war. And Britney Spears arrested
for driving under the influence in California. That's all the
top stories. Nothing quite as big as Christy Nome being out.
The questions you should be asking yourself. Is Christy Nome
being a sacrificial offering to the Democrats? Okay, we fired Christie?
(01:32):
Now will you fund TSA, ice and homeland security? Or
was the two hundred and twenty million dollar ad campaign
the final straw? And I don't know how we'll ever know,
but we can always ask our national correspondent Roy O'Neil.
We're told the affair, the way she handled Minneapolis, and
this two hundred and twenty million dollar that's the final straw.
(01:53):
You're gone, but not completely gone and fired, reassigned. None
of this is making sense to me.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
There's still a bit of its emotion, right, You're not
a cabinet secretary anymore.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
A special envoy doesn't have the same weight as it were.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
But according to Senator John Kennedy, the Republican from Louisiana,
he was the one that started asking the tough questions
about that ad campaign and whether or not President Trump
was aware of it. She said under oath that she
had talked to the President about it several times. Kennedy
says he got a call from the President that night,
a few hours after the testimony.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Said the President was enraged.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
And that started the ball rolling to push her out
and to bring Mark Wayne Mullen in.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
All right, now, christynom happened to be here in Nashville.
It's awful, embarrassing to get fired while you're delivering a speech.
And her response was, well, the President tapped her to
get the word out. Obviously, you know, leadership you would
think would be more specific than that. But I mean,
because there's been great success in securing the border on
(02:53):
her watch. The affair, the handling of calling you know,
these protesters slash activists, domestic terrorists, that was all a botch.
And if it's this two hundred and twenty million dollars,
well it was successful. We've had nearly two million people
self deport So is it the two hundred and twenty
million dollar price tag or the fact that quote unquote
(03:17):
an ad that featured her face.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I'm trying to figure that out.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Yeah, and well even Senator Kennedy brought that up during
the questioning. He said it seemed like more of an
ad to promote her rather than to send out this message.
And I think that was the other thing that you know,
these other headlines, the canoodling with Cory or whatever it
may be that was happening, the luxury jets, and some
of the spending that was happening there.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
And of course there's a series.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Of bad headlines surrounding what happened in Minnesota, with again
the President getting frustrated having to send in Tom Homan
to clean things up and get that taken care of
in a matter of days, versus how they lost this
political issue. You know, immigration such a strong point for
the Republicans. They can went to the southern border success,
(04:02):
but then the way they were enforcing things that caused
a lot of that support to draw Republicans. Yeah, not
a lot though, I mean I don't I'll tell you.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
First of all, I think probably the President would love
to have Tom Holman be his Secretary of Homeland Security.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
That would be problematic.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
So the next step of the equation is, well, why
Mark Wayne Mullen, My question is why would Mark Wayne
Mullen want to do this?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
What could it be two years tops?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
And then on top of that, you know, I understand
that he would go for confirmation among his peers, so
it would be the club of one hunter. They're not
going to vote against him. Yeah, so that would make
it easy a governor could appoint his replacement. And I
didn't look up when his election is, but it's it
would at least secure that Senate seat for up to
(04:45):
four years.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
I mean, I get the strategy.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I just don't get why Mark Wayne Mullen would want
to give up a Senate seat for that.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Because there's a pretty good chance you're going to be
in the minority party in a few months as well,
which's there's no fun in that.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Well all right, that's an interesting point.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
But if her leadership was so bad and she was
a constant mistake and bad image waiting to happen, why
reappoint her to anything?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Well, you sort of shuffled her out the back door.
I don't think.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
I don't think you and I will be talking much
about the shield, the Western Hemisphere shield.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Well no, but I mean, just fire her. I don't
understand why that wasn't the case. That's sort of safe
face too. Well, yeah, it's all just now. And look,
she's also sucking more oxygen out of the room than
the president.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I don't think that was something that he wanted either.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
All right, so Christy Noma is gone, Mark Wayne Mullen,
we don't anticipate any issues getting confirmed in his own club.
And the next question was this a sacrificial lamb and
offering to the left. And I don't think they're going
to be any more cooperative when it comes to homeland security.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
But go ahead, and let me just add one quick thing.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Also, when she's shut down FEMA, essentially she shut down
the gravy train and the pork train. You know, these
members of Congress go a long way to get that
FEMA money for their home districts.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
She gummed up the works.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
With ve essentially shutting it down, shutting off a lot
of that pork that was flowing out to districts.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
That is no way to win friends on Capitol Hill.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
All Right, Rory's gonna be going back in the third
hour both the House and the Senate get President Trump's
some leeway to continue these military operations. As I mentioned
moments ago, Mike Johnson coming out after the House voted
down the War Powers resolution and making it crystal clear
the United States has no intentions of being at war.
There's no reason to enact this, meaning if you read
the actual law, nobody expects this to go beyond sixty days,
(06:32):
and there's a thirty day grace. No one thinks this
is going to last ninety days. In fact, the president
who originally said four weeks says we're running ahead of schedule.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
So this is political theater.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
It's been shot down in the Senate, it's been shot
down in the House now, and the speaker saying, nobody
expects us to be at actual quote unquote war. As
I mentioned, you're going to hear news reports everywhere. Roger
had sent me an email earlier this morning. I should
just read that that way, you guys are still starring.
(07:06):
I was thinking about the rising gas prices, and I
don't believe it's as big as of an impact as
the media is trying to portray it. I search for
how much the average household uses in a year, and
I got back numbers that range from six hundred and
fifty to eight hundred and ten gallons per year. These
both sound a little low. So this illustration, I'm going
to round up to one thousand gallons per year. Recent
(07:28):
stories have suggested twenty six cents times fifty two weeks.
Ba ba ba up. You know we're looking at about
ten dollars a week. Well, everything in my source, the
headlines are all gas prices sore, as America wars with
Iran sores sores. And if I said the price of
gasoline is soored, I think you'd be thinking higher than
(07:50):
twenty seven cents a week later, And as we've talked
about throughout this week, the strait of horror moves will
open up.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
We're only six days into this now.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
The President has reserves that are replenished, we have the
commitment from OPEC to produce and distribute at a high level.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
It's not like we're at odds and OPEC is going
to choke us off.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
The only one with an energy question mark or crisis
is really Russia. I would even say China, because China
will ensure that straight is opened up. They're gonna want
that oil. The presidents also suggested maybe military escorts. Nobody
sees this as a potential long term crisis and at
(08:35):
short term and twenty seven cents. Is that really a crisis?
Is that really soaring? I shouldn't even have to answer it.
Things that might get lost today because of focus on
Gnome or focus on war. The US has destroyed an
(08:56):
Iranian drone carrier. This is a major takeout. And again
they have been doing more effective retaliatory bombing with drones
than they have with missiles. Now again we're safe and
sound here in America watching this like it's a television event.
(09:17):
That's not to say that if you know you're in
the United Emirates or if you're in Israel today, you
know you're not hearing explosions. You know, even even when
the Iron Dome takes out a missile in the sky
above you, it's still allowed explosion, and some of those
missiles get through. But the drones have been the most effective,
(09:40):
and the main carrier that delivers those drones was taken out,
we find out from the admiral in the area. That's
a major victory and progress. Meanwhile, at Home House Resolution
ten ninety nine, which was going to reaffirm Iran remaining
the large state sponsor of terrorism, which is just a fact.
(10:05):
I mean, anybody talking to you about foreign policy, and
they don't bring up the alliance of China, Russia and Iran,
and specifically in terms of Iran, China mostly an economic
threat or a threat to Taiwan. Russia a threat obviously
to Ukraine and Eastern Europe and potentially the world with
nuclear weapons. But Iran specifically because of its proxies and
(10:30):
its funding and arming of terrorist organization. It's just it's
a fact. And you had fifty three Democrats vote against this,
all of the squad. Do you remember two years ago
we would talk about, hey, the Democrat Party is an
eye problem Israel. They can't figure out if they're on
(10:52):
israel side or the terrorists. Well, for fifty three Democrats
in this vote, they're clearly on the side of terrorists.
I mean, you're either delusional or you're in support of terrorism.
How could you not acknowledge what they simply are. There
is another bad sign for the left. And these are
(11:14):
all things that we're sensing and feeling. And it's a
new Rasmusen research that shows, well, we'll start with twenty
five percent of likely US voters that's the whole country
say socialism is better than capitalism. Remember we used to
talk about the squad, and we'd say, well, what are they?
(11:37):
A percentage of this party is crazy, anti American, anti Israel,
anti capitalism, and we would say about twenty six percent,
Well there's your number. And if you go inside the
partisan numbers, seventy seventy percent of Republicans believe capitalism is
better than socialism. Just thirty six percent of thirty six
percent of Democrats agree. You have a majority of Democrats
(12:02):
that believe socialism is better than capitalism. I don't know
about you, but are you shocked? Thirty percent of Republicans
don't have a firm opinion the capitalism is better. Fifty
percent of Democrats would vote for a candidate who supported socialism.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
I got a dismount because the.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Clock, you know, I may enter the podcast world so
I can finish a thought. Not only has Bernie Sanders
handed the torch to AOC. From a partisan party standpoint,
(12:42):
things have never looked better for AOC. Now, don't get
me wrong, I know Bernie Sanders would have got the
Democratic nomination for President of the United States in twenty sixteen.
They used super delegates, the DNC got involved and rigged
it for Hillary. And then in twenty twenty they cut
a deal and rigged it for Biden, and they hung
(13:02):
on to Biden through sinility till it was too late,
and then just handed it to Kamala. Three presidential cycles,
Democrat voters weren't allowed to choose their nominee. And this
time it's going to be AOC, and this time Democrats
are openly in support.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Is Mom Dannia Fluke is AOC of Fluke. No, this
is what this party has become.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Now.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I don't think they're ever going to be dumb enough
to change their name to socialist, but make no mistake
about it about it. The majority of the Democrat Party
is now openly socialist. That would mean Mayor Pete isn't
socialist enough, Gavin Newsom isn't socialist enough. That means they're
a very divided party heading into this primary. But the
(13:50):
advantage leads to AOC, which is why I'm always warning
you She's going to be the early leader and the
DNC is going to get involved, just like in twenty four,
just like in twenty just like in twenty sixteen. And
I think that's when you get Romney, Manuel Wes Moore
or some combination. But oh, it's coming because oh they're
(14:11):
really socialist.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
All right, My dog Scout.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Just seeming to have no energy breath that would kill
a small child, lots of allergies and itching, and lots
of fur issues, and some soreness in his joints. And
what did I think, as someone who loves him, Well,
he's getting older, he's pushing eight years old. Then I
(14:43):
heard about rough greens. I use the same food. I
just sprinkle on the rough greens, and supposedly he's just
going to come to life. Why because doctor Dennis Black
put this formula together, and what it's going to give
is everything that's baked out of his food, live bioavatable nutrients,
(15:04):
essential vitamins, minerals, probiotics, digestive enzymes, and mega oils. All
these things work together to improve nutrient absorption, maintain healthy
muscle and joints, enhance overall vitality, and increase length of life. Well,
that would be a great notion. There's nothing I wouldn't
pay to have Boomer a week more, let alone years.
(15:24):
So I got my Jumpstart trial bag and started sprinkling
it on. I didn't know what to expect, I'm telling you.
In about three days he was a different dog, bouncing
around like a puppy. Bad breath gone, itching gone. Don't

Speaker 6 (16:25):
Good morning out here in California, the price of diesel
was nearly six bucks a gallon as I traveled from
Sacramento area to Los Angeles Impact this week.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
I would call that soaring.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
Did they forget that we were paying almost five dollars
a gallon for gas about four years ago with Joe Biden,
Have we had a memory lapse or something?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Yeah, I can't speak to California and certain areas. I
can't speak to people that might be gouging or a
boutique blends or so on and so forth. I can
tell you that the Triple A report is the national
averages jumped twenty seven cents, and that's since the beginning
of the war, so we're only at three dollars and
(17:16):
something since a gallon. I wouldn't call a twenty seven
cent temporary increase, a soaring or a crisis.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
But that's just me. Doesn't mean you can't find one somewhat.

team with the International Fellowship of christiansen Jews, just about
what it's like to be in war and on the
ground and the needs that they have. But some of
you may miss Friday with forty seven next hour and
want to catch you.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
You can always catch up on the podcast this weekend.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Just search your morning show where Michael del Jorno into
the iHeart app and once you find it, give it
a preset.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
That way, it's waiting for you every morning. We had
a caller. We had a caller earlier.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
We can't seem to find it now, but he was
basically saying, well, gasline is six dollars a gallon here
in New Hampshire.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
I would call that soaring.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
You might want to drive around a little bit because
according to what I just researched, regular unloaded fuel is
averaging threeh six to three point fifteen per gallon in
New Hampshire right now. That would be up some twenty
something since the soaring level. Your pain sounds like something
completely different going on, all right, Well, obviously we're bombing
(19:16):
a lot of things we just took out the main
carrier of all their drones, but ammunitions might be running.
Just the stockpile anyway, a little low and depleting. And
on Friday, President Trump is going to meet with the
defense contractors to step up production. White House correspondent John
Deckers with us. You must be exhausted. I'm tired from
looking at all the pictures of meetings you've had to
(19:38):
cover this week.
Speaker 8 (19:39):
But that's one coming. Yeah, that is one coming, and
it's an important meeting. There have been a significant number
of those Patriot missile Patriot missile batteries that have been
used during the course of the past seven days, and
that does have an impact in terms are of our inventory.
And so that's not just the Patriots, it's other missile systems.
(20:03):
We'll be meeting with those defense contractors to talk about
ramping up production. You know, we don't know how long
this conferen's going to last. The President, Michael, as you know,
has spoken about it lasting a number of weeks. That
being said, the US's and our allies are using a
significant number of munitions to fight against Iran right now,
(20:25):
all right, so we do have a matrix in play.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I get it. It's frustrating. People get sick of hearing
me use the word matrix, But I don't have any
other way to describe it. If it was a Democrat
president doing this right now, maybe Republicans will be doing
the same stunt. But both efforts in the Senate and
the House to vote down the vote for a war
powers resolution shot down. In fact, HOWSE Speaker Mike Johnson
(20:50):
saying the US has no intention of being at war
beyond the sixty day and with thirty.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Day grace ninety day period.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
But it's amazing how those in a left bubble will
believe that this is an illegal war because that's the
narrative that's given to them. And you can come back
at them with what Obama did here or another president
did there, and it's facts don't matter anymore. It's just
a crazy, crazy time. I'll just leave it at those
two efforts have been shot down. Speaking of shot down,
Christy Nome's gone. So John, you're in and around the
(21:18):
White House. What's the real scoop? Was it the two
hundred and twenty million dollar ad campaign featuring her face
quote unquote, or the way she handled Minneapolis.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Or all the above? What was the final straw.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
Well, it's all the above, but when you talk about
the final straw, it was her appearance before two congressional
committees this week, one of the Senate, one of the House,
and it did not go well for her. And you
mentioned that two hundred and twenty million dollar ad campaign
that featured prominently Christy Nome that really.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Rubbed President Trump the wrong way.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
And when she answered, in response to a question from
Louisiana Republican Senator John Kennedy whether the President knew this
two hundred and twenty million dollar ad spend, Christino replied, yes,
yes he did, and that wasn't true. And I think
that ultimately was the nail in her political coffin and
(22:12):
ended her tenure as the Secretary of Homeland Security.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Now, the way she presented it was the President tapped
me to get the word out about voluntary deportation, and
then it just seems like, well, but nobody ever got
back to anybody and said, well, the AD's going to
feature me, and the schedule is a two hundred and
twenty million dollar campaign, because I mean two up to
two million people have self deported, So you could say
(22:36):
it worked just like there's no border.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Crossings under her watch.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
But the affair, the handling in Minneapolis, and maybe this
price tag or is it the featuring of her face,
which I found to be very odd that keeps coming up?
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Focused on the price tag. The president focused on the
price tag.
Speaker 8 (22:55):
Two hundred and twenty million dollars, the President said yesterday,
in response to a question concerning this, said, I spent
less than that to get elected president. That bothers the president.
You know, it's how you spend the taxpayer money. That's
not a good use of taxpayer money when you factor
and let's just say it is how many.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
You say that have self deportated? What was the two
million so you're paying? I don't know what that ends
up being. Yeah, it's it's not a good bang for
your book. Put it that way.
Speaker 8 (23:24):
And you know the fact that Christy Gnome is there
on horseback and it's prominently featured, and it looks like
a campaign ad for her that rubbed a lot of members,
Republican members the wrong way as well.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
So from me, yeah, I'm not going to mess I'm
just kind of wondering why he didn't just fire her,
Why shuffle her off to somewhere else.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
And by the way, I watched that entire Yeah, I
was gonna says he has soft landings.
Speaker 8 (23:49):
I mean Mike Waltz was removed as the National Security Advisor.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
He is soft landing. Was actually US Ambassador to the
United Nations.
Speaker 8 (23:57):
So he provides soft landings for people that he asked
to leave their administration post. And that's what he did
with Christy Naim yesterday.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
But if she lacks leadership, I don't like moving bad
hires around into other areas. All right, So now we
turn to Mark Wayne Mullen. First of all, he'll get
confirmed in his club of one hundred. I get the
strategy there. His governor will pick his successor. I get
the strategy there. What I don't get is why Mark
Wayne Maullin would do this for two years and give
up his Senate seat.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (24:28):
I think that there's something to be said about being
a part of this president's cabinet. The president understands that
is something where you can make a difference, and it
certainly elevates his profile nationally when you're Secretary of the
Department of Homeland Security. So I think for all of
those reasons, even if it is for three more years.
I think you know, he factored in everything and said, plus,
(24:51):
I'm loyal to this president.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
If he asked me to do something, I'm going to
do it. Well.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
They are very very very close friends, so that could
be part of it, that loyalty. What's coming up today
on the White House Briefing Room with John.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
Decker, We're talking about the war in Iraq, We're talking Iran,
We're talking about the firing of Christy Nome, and in
addition to that, we're talking about some legal decisions that
have been made over the course of the past few days,
including a legal decision regarding Harris that the administration certainly
will not like and they are going to appeal. So
(25:23):
that's what we'll be discussed on today's White House Briefing Room.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah, the White House Briefing Room is on your right heart.
App to search it when you find it, give it
a preset that way, It's waiting for you every morning,
and we'll talk again on Monday. John, have the kind
of weekend out of the very merely dream of I
know you've earned.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
It, all right.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
As Operation Epic Fury intensifies, the world is bracing for
whatever comes next, and people of faith are praying. I
pray and praying for freedom, for God's people to be protected. Meanwhile,
this is not just a prayer event or a television
event in the Holy Land. Right now, red alert sirens
fill the air and you've got fifteen seconds to reach
(25:59):
the nearest bomb shelter, and then you're holding your scared children,
wondering where your elderly parents are. This is a serious situation,
This is a real threat, This is a different reality
in Israel. Faith and freedom, they're not an abstract idea.
It's all they're clinging to. And at the International Fellowship
(26:20):
of Christians and Jews were on the ground preparing large
scale distributions of life saving food, first aid and emergency
essentials for security personnel, while helping ensure that the hospitals,
emergency rooms and shelters are stocked with critical medical supplies.
Always laser focused on Israel's most vulnerable, and that being
the sick, the elderly, the children and families and greatest need.
(26:46):
Your generous gifts are what make this possible. Now is
your time to take a stand with Israel beyond a
political stand. Once you stand with us when we need
you most eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ to
rush your gift today called eight eight eight four eight
eight I f CJ. Or you can give securely online
at IFCJ dot org. That's IFCJ dot org.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
It's your Morning show with Michael del Johno.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
I always remember reading the Bible, and so often you
would hear this phrase, guards your heart and mind, guards
your heart and mind, and at some point you just
get a sense of you know, I wonder if we
understand how important a heart in mind is, how much
it's under attack, how easy it is to penetrate. And
then Paul later, as only an attorney can, lays out
(27:39):
for eleven chapters the law condemning us all and the
only way to be covered. And after all that legal ease,
he starts chapter twelve with Therefore, you know, as somebody
(27:59):
that used to love cliffs notes, you know, teachers would
always say, don't use the cliffs notes. You better read
the book or you're not gonna be able to get
an A on the test. And I get a's with
cliffs notes all the time.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
They don't lean that much out.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
You can boil things down, and would Paul boil it
down to don't conform to the patterns of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. That's
an essence of don't conform, don't follow. What is conformity
When you live in the South, After long enough, you'll
start saying, y'all, I mean, we're conformist by nature. We
(28:31):
are surrounded online, on television, in print, everywhere with narrative,
and I wonder how often it creeps in. I just
had a caller say, I don't know what you're talking about.
Gas is six dollars here in New Hampshire. I'd call
that soaring, and then I'm googling and it's not. I mean,
(28:52):
I don't doubt maybe that somebody tried to fleece you
at six dollars a gallon, But I can look up
what gasoline is in New Hampshire right now and.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
It's not sixteen. It's not six dollars. I could play
this story for you right now.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Gas prices are soaring across the United States. And what
a soaring conjure in your mind? Because if the headline
is gas prices are soaring, what did they call it
when Russia invaded to Ukraine? Because if this is soaring
(29:30):
twenty seven cents? What was it went up a dollar
and a half or what was it all while Joe
Biden was president? And even if you want to make
the case, oh, gas prices are soaring across the United
States since the start of military operations in Iran? Is
(29:51):
that the words you would use to say up twenty
seven cents on average?
Speaker 7 (29:55):
TRIPLEA reports the national average jump nearly twenty seven cents
since last week to three twenty five a gallon. We
haven't seen a similar weekly jump since March of twenty
twenty two, during the start of the Russia Ukraine War.
Political reports the Trump administration is considering a temporary holiday
on the gasoline.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Tax to ease prices.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
A Markneyfield, Now, again, short term, we got to get
the straight of horror moves open.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Right now.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
It's insurance companies that have concerns. So whether that's going
to take military escort the first to go through, I
don't know. Offsetting things, we've got the reserve, we've got
the commitment of OPEC to produce more, release more. Presidents
(30:44):
kicking around the idea of the military. But no one
thinks this is a long term problem. And if it
is a short term problem. Six days in, it's a
twenty seven cent problem. When Russian invaded Ukraine, what did
it go up to five something a gallon?
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Read? Do you remember that number?
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Five O five? Yeah, five oh five a gallon? And
the average right now is in the threes. Then I
had you talking in my ear. So you need me
to do current gas prices in California, I'm showing regular
(31:28):
is four ninety a gallon. I think that has more
to do with tax and I think it has more
to do with the boutique blends than a necessary rise
since this war.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
Yeah, and I think he was speaking more on diesel fuel.
I've got that. I've got the talk back if you
want to hear it again. Uh, there's mid grade do Okay.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
So a month ago in California gas was four dollars
and forty two cents a gallon in California now it's
four dollars and ninety cents. So that's showing about fifty cents,
which is well above the national average.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Up since then.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
So I mean again, I you use things that gas
prices are soaring, I'm expecting more than twenty seven cents
after a week. And I know it's not going to
be many weeks before it comes back down again. But
that's how narratives, you know, create a sense and a
feeling that might be greater than what it actually is.
(32:28):
Was my only point. Meanwhile, President Trump says he needs
to be personally involved in selecting Iran's next supreme leader.
Speaker 9 (32:34):
The president was responding to reports that the Late I
had told Ali Hameni's son is set to take that role,
which Trump told Acxios was unacceptable. Although Trump acknowledges that
fifty six year old at most Tabahameni is the most
likely successor, he said, we want someone that'll bring harmony
and peace to Iran. The president says he has to
be involved in the appointment, but also shared with reporters
(32:55):
at the Whitehouse that quote most of the people we
had in mind are dead end quote. When asked his
potential picks to succeed, how many, I'm Jim Roop.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
This is another area that's tough for me.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
I understand taking out a threat, an immediate threat to Israel,
an immediate threat to America, an immediate threat to the region.
You simply cannot allow a terrorist nation like this to
have weapons of mass destruction. That they can deliver personally
or have their surrogates deliver. Their motive is seventeen or
(33:29):
fourteen hundred years old and it's not going to go away,
and the opportunity to be the first moment they have it,
so you have to cut them off at the means.
These advanced centrifugias and enriched uranium are weapons grade, so
you can use strategic strikes and keep kicking the can,
(33:50):
or you can decapitate the snake and give them all
a chance to reassess. But ultimately the future of Iran
should belong to the people. The threat of Iran should
be taken care of by the world, and unfortunately it's
just Israel and America. The future of Iran belongs to
the Iranian people. Otherwise, you've just opened up Pandora's box
(34:11):
of nation building, so I might want to work on
how we're wording that. Two dozen states, including New York,
are suing again to block President Trump's latest global tariff.
Speaker 10 (34:21):
Attorneys general from New York, California, Arizona, and Oregon are
leading round two after the US Supreme Court ruled the
President's tariffs unlawful just weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
And now the President has chosen a different round. New
York's Letitia James.
Speaker 10 (34:37):
California ag Rob Bonta says Trump's latest effort counts on
a gold standard provision in a nineteen seventy four Trade
Act law.
Speaker 8 (34:45):
It relies on an outdated system of currency exchange that
we don't even use anymore.
Speaker 10 (34:50):
Arizona's Chris May says Trump's unlawful levies drive up costs
for consumers.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
And we are going to stop them again. I'm Sarah
Lee Tessler.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
You know, I guess we never know what somebody becomes
famous over. So somebody could be a trained singer, but
then they become famous as an actor or actress, and
then when they eventually sing, it surprises you. This one
surprised me. I'm gonna play it, and I know in
a day of AI you could make anybody in pitch,
you know, control of me, you make anybody sound good.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
But listen and then I'll tell you who it is.
This is your.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Ann Hathaway's first single, single, Burial from her upcoming film
