Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can
be heard live each weekday morning five to eighth Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Nashville, Tennessee
two below, Mississippi and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be
a part of your morning routine and take the drive
to work with you, but better late than never. We're
grateful you're here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Two three, starting your morning off right. A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding, because we're in
this together.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
This is your morning show with Michael Dell.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Charm Hey, Michael, the price was already going up before.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
The war started.
Speaker 6 (00:40):
It was up about.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Thirty forty cents from six months ago, already before the
war even started. I think a lot of it has
to do with the summer blended repin refine to read maintenance.
Speaker 7 (00:57):
Yeah, you're you're all over it.
Speaker 8 (01:00):
Here's a headline California diesel prices soar is higher tax
takes effect October thirteenth, twenty twenty three. And even then
it was right at six dollars. So caller calls up
and says, hey, are diesels up at six dollars? I'd
say that soaring well. As of early March, California diesel
(01:22):
prices were averaging between five dollars and forty cents a
gallon and five dollars and sixty cents a gallon. So
if you're seeing six dollars, I can't speak county to county.
It can vary. There are regional variations because of distribution.
(01:44):
There are county variations based on blends. As the caller
was just saying, California has the highest diesel taxes in
the US. I have always been astounded of all the
things we let alone, things that are running at a
level that our gas is in our vehicles, something that
(02:10):
you might be spending eighty to one hundred dollars a
month on and you never see the tax. Go buy
anything else, you'll see the cost of what you bought
and the tax and the tax. Go to a restaurant,
you'll see the cost of everything you ordered, the tax,
and then you'll see the tip.
Speaker 7 (02:28):
But never on a pump, which is.
Speaker 8 (02:32):
Always fascinating me because we always demonize big oil, you know,
making a cent a gallon, but they don't want you
to see what the government's making. And then you're still
paying for toll roads, and California is one of the
worst highest diesel taxes in the US. They like the pipeline,
they lack the infrastructure, making transportation, you know, a fuel difficult.
(02:57):
It's always higher than other places. But I just don't
even if it were at six dollars as you're saying,
that's not any different than the story I just read
from twenty thirteen. What were we saying then, what were
we saying in twenty twenty three. I mean, it's okay
(03:19):
to disagree with me, It's okay for me to be wrong.
I'm just saying, we hear these narratives over and over again.
You're being bombarded with gas. Prices are soaring. They're nothing
compared to the way they soared when Russia invaded Ukraine. No,
we're even near. And no matter what narrative or what
(03:39):
words they use, Triple A reports the national average has
jumped twenty seven cents to three twenty five a gallon.
Now that's an average. It can vary by state, it
can vary by county, it can vary by boutique blends.
But the Triple A national average is only up twenty
seven sense three dollars and twenty five cents a gallon.
(04:03):
Now diesel is higher, and especially obviously in California.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
Oh my goodness, it's ten after left time. We all
say hail to the Chief.
Speaker 8 (04:14):
He's the one we all say hail to, even and
especially at a time of war.
Speaker 7 (04:19):
Mister President, good morning.
Speaker 9 (04:22):
Well, good morning, pizza board. You know, we're doing very
well in Iran, right you look at it. They're not
happy with me, but no, we're very happy with where
we are. I have to say that we're doing tremendously well.
And they better be careful because we may drop Bobby
on them. Who knows, but we'll see what goes on,
and we'll see what we want to do. What we're
(04:42):
doing is incredibly effective, and we're doing very well in
the run. We're at a schedule you or, way ahead,
and under budget too, just like everything I build. So
we're doing very well. I can tell you that. Well.
Speaker 8 (04:55):
I remember thinking, maybe you're waiting till after the Olympics,
maybe you're waiting until after the State of the Union
turns out with Israeli intelligence. We were just waiting for
them all to be in the same room, and that
level of decapitation of the head of the snake was
certainly significant and so well done.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
Now it's hard to find the next leader. They're all dead.
Speaker 9 (05:14):
Well, I have to say, you know, you look at
Ali Kamani and I call him Commaniac because he's a
sick person, or was a sick person. He used to be,
you know, he used to be a sick person, but
now he's a dead person. He died like a dog,
you know, like a dog, crying and whimpering and swimming.
He died like the albag daddy, like Sola Money did,
(05:35):
like a dog, which is why we now referred to
him as the supreme loser, not the supreme leader. He's
the supreme loser. And nobody loses quite like Comeniac. And
so now you see, there was a bunch of them
that were trying to pick another leader, and black smoke
rose up above the roof, which means they were all
dead too. There is no new Ayatola. And now they
(05:57):
have a comaniac son, you know, mister Maniac Junior and
I give it about twelve hours, and we're going to
find out where he is and we're going to do
the same thing, you know, We're going to turn him
into dust. They died like dogs. So you know, we
do a tremendous job.
Speaker 10 (06:13):
You look at.
Speaker 9 (06:13):
Iran, they're doing horrible. They really are doing horrible, and
they should have taken the deal, but they don't want
to take the deal. And so now the supreme loser
and all of his loser friends are dead, and anybody
who continues to side with the regime is we call
it playing with fire. So we dropped Stacy Abrams on Commanie,
we dropped Rosie O'Donnell on a couple of the others
(06:36):
have jiggling belly pritz here. We still have Chris Christy,
and we still have Katie Porter ready to go that
much time.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
The biggest bombs you really mean business haven't been used yet.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
It was kind of interesting to watch Great Britain's response
that got on your radar. You're actually very disappointed, but
I doubt you were surprised.
Speaker 9 (06:57):
Right well, you look at Great Britain, you look at Spain,
and those two are the only two Muslim countries that
aren't on our side right now. You look at these guys.
You look at Saudi Arabia, they're doing great. You look
at Azerbaijan, they're doing great.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
You look at.
Speaker 9 (07:11):
Kuwait and Bahrain and no Man and Qatar and the
United Arab Emirates. They're all on our side. They're cheering
us on the Kurds. We love the Curds. But you
look at the other Muslim countries, like Great Britain, France,
who's already surrendered. Believe it or not. Could you believe
that they already surrendered the wars, not even in their country,
(07:31):
they're already. I can't believe it. But you look at them.
You look at Spain, they think the running of the
bulls is dead. Wait until I get a hold of them.
It's going to really be a bull of a China shop.
But these people are horrible. These countries are very disappointing.
They want us to defend them. If little munchkins Alynski calls,
(07:53):
they do everything they want. But when we're taking after
us evil regime in the history of the world, probably
since World War Two. They were pretty evil too, And
we did not get along very well with Nazi Germany.
It's a nasty great very happy that they're gone, But no,
we didn't get along.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
Well with either.
Speaker 9 (08:11):
And they were evil, very evil. Forty seven years of
death and destruction, were taking him out, and the UK
in Spain couldn't be bothered to help nasty people. And
we'll remember that the next time they want something, the
next time they call it sir, please sir, we'll say,
where were you when we were taking care of Iran?
(08:32):
You were saying things that we didn't like very well,
well very much, and so we'll remember that. We'll remember
that they're very disappointing countries.
Speaker 8 (08:41):
I can tell you that Friday with forty seven boy,
that was a lesson for Crenshaw in you know, coming
out against you not a good thing to do as
a Republican right now, but you must be thrilled Jasmine
Crockett has gone.
Speaker 9 (08:56):
Well, you look at Jasmine Crockett, I call a nurse Shretchi.
She's a nasty person, very stupid person. And you look
at Crenshaw. He's got a lot of problems. He's an
angry person and he's no longer going to be an
angry person in Congress. So we upgrade. It's called an upgrade.
But you look at Crockett and I'm waiting for her
to play the race card. She should do it. I
(09:18):
think she should say the Democrat Party voters are rasist
because they voted for a white male over a woman
of color. They halted her progress. How dad they and
I think demands people clutched the pearls. They made a clutch.
They've been a clutch them like nobody's ever clutch them before.
I'm out raised for Jersey. I'm out raised for her.
She deserved better and it was nasty what they did.
(09:42):
They ripped her off, they rigged it, and so I
think I think she ought to be very upset. She
should go on old McDonald's farm otherwise known as the
zoo or any people called it the view with the
bickering buldvine like Whoopie Godberg and what they are and
all those people and say that there was rape shill
suppression going on in her election. She should do that,
(10:04):
because she does it all the other times. She should
do that. But we're happy to see Crenshaw go, and
Ed will sit.
Speaker 7 (10:11):
It dere for Crockett.
Speaker 9 (10:14):
Al Green is having a lot of problems him. It
is cane of God. After the stunt that he pulled,
he's gonna be gone. He's gonna runoff, and he can't
really run anywhere you look at it.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
He's got a can so.
Speaker 10 (10:25):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (10:25):
I think he's in a lot of trouble too, and
we won't be sorry to see him go. Although he
tried to impeach me last year Pizza Boy for destandly deeds,
I've never heard of that before. They called me destinantly done. No,
I do a tremendous job. They do a tremendous job.
We do a tremendous job, and we're happy to see
him go.
Speaker 8 (10:45):
Closing moments with Friday with forty seven. So you're going
to attend the correspondent's dinner. Why did you make the
decision to make this your first Well, we're.
Speaker 9 (10:53):
Doing that because Caitlin Collins is really getting on my nerves.
She's going to be there, and I just want to
call her Sky Presler to her face. That's why I
want to do that. You know, she looks a lot
like Scott Presler, and Scott says the same thing, says,
you know, this is not me, this is somebody else.
She's a fake news reporter on CNN, but now she
(11:13):
does a horrible job, and she really fell from grace.
She used to be a very nice person. Now she's
a nasty person. That's what happens when you work for
the fake news, but no, we're gonna go. They asked
me very nicely to go, and because they asked nicely,
I'm gonna go. And it's gonna be a tremendous time.
We're gonna roast a bunch of these people. The correspondent's
(11:34):
a nasty people's to roast a bunch of these people.
We're gonna we're gonna team them and domesticate them. But
they have nasty people, but we're gonna handle them properly,
and we're looking forward to doing that. You know, we've
never done it before, but it's the Golden era, so
we ought to get it started and get the fake
(11:54):
news in line. And we're gonna get them line.
Speaker 8 (11:56):
I know, I'm just a pizza boy, but why not
just host it yourself.
Speaker 9 (12:00):
Well, we want to go there hosting it, but we're
going to go. When we have the ballroom done, we
can host it.
Speaker 10 (12:06):
Think of that.
Speaker 9 (12:06):
We got the big beautiful ballroom, the court. It's called
the King's Court. The big beautiful ballroom is called King
Donald's Royal Court. That's going to be the name of it.
Nobody knows that, but we're breaking news on your show,
you know, you get great ratings too, and you are
not just a pizza boy. The pizza boy they say
it's not delivery, not tell joor No, he is yourmendous job.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
God bless you, all right, mister president.
Speaker 8 (12:32):
Obviously, congratulations on being ahead of schedule and the war
in Ron and we all trust and say hell to
you until next week.
Speaker 7 (12:42):
Thank you for joining us, mister president.
Speaker 9 (12:44):
God bless you, and congratulations are your beautiful ratings.
Speaker 8 (12:48):
I have to tell you that there you have it

scam text, every sketchy email with your name on it,

your age, your family members' names. They got it all

are selling it to everyone. If you knew how vulnerable
you were, you would take action and you would be outraged. Now, legally,
(13:28):
each and every one of them have to take your
information off, but you'd have to contact them and keep
contacting them, and they got you out numbered about four
or five hundred to one. That's why I use incognate
That's why I rely on Incognate to protect me and
my entire family, and you should too. They fight silently
(13:51):
behind the scene. And Cognate took my information off three
hundred and fifty eight broker sites in the first forty
eight hours. That would have taken me five hundred hours.
And of course I'd have never done it because I've
never found five hundred dollars. You got to go beyond blocking.

(14:15):
does for you. You can get sixty percent off. It's
already affordable and pays itself back in you not getting
your insurance rates jacked up or paying higher prices for hotels.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chrono.
Speaker 8 (14:54):
The Secretary of War Beate Hecksaf is commenting on Christy
Nome being replaced as Homeland Security Secretary and replaced by
a Republican Senator, Mark Queen Mullin.
Speaker 11 (15:03):
Thanks Eth said we all serve at the pleasure of
the President, while saying he thinks Mullen will do a
fantastic job. Trump fired Nome on Thursday, saying she'll become
the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas, a
new initiative in the Western Hemisphere.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
He did not provide a reason for the move.
Speaker 11 (15:18):
But multiple reports save Trump was upset after Nome told
Congress he signed off on a two hundred and twenty
million dollar dhs AD campaign that prominently featured her face.
Nom is the first cabinet member to depart Trump's cabinet
during his second term, a Mark Neefield.
Speaker 8 (15:32):
Meanwhile, when it comes to Iran, the President supports the
Kurds launching an offensive inside the country.
Speaker 12 (15:37):
A coalition of Iranian Kurdish groups i've reportedly been in
touch with the administration over a potential incursion into western Iran.
President Trump tells reut As he thinks it's wonderful the
Kurds want to do that, and he's all for it.
Multiple news outlets report the CIA has given small arms
to Iranian Kurdish militias as part of a secretive push
to destabilize the Islamic Republic. However, when asked if Washington
(16:00):
would supply air support for a potential Kurdish offensive against
the Iranian regime, Trump responded, I can't tell you that.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
I'm Jim Roupe. Oop. She did it again.
Speaker 11 (16:18):
Spears was arrested Wednesday night in Ventura County, but has
since been released. TMZ reports she was taken to the
hospital after being pulled over so police could draw her blood.
Her manager told the outlet that the incident is completely
inexcusable and Spears won't take the right steps in what
is a long overdue change she needs in her life.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
I'm Mark Nephew.
Speaker 12 (16:39):
This is Sham Paul from Avita, Florida, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Nostros del Giorno.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Hey, it's me Michael. Your morning show is heard lie
from five to eight am Central, six to nine am Eastern,
three to six am Pacific on great radio stations like
News Radio eleven ninety k EX in Portland, News Talk
five point fifty k FYI, and Phoenix, Arizona Freedom one
oh four seven in Washington, d C. We'd love to
have you join us live in the morning, even take
us along on the drive to work. But better late
(17:12):
than never enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
Hey Michael, this is Spike from Ohio favorite drummer. I
believe on every gas pumption has to have a sticker
that tells you exactly how much state and federal taxes. No,
it doesn't on gasoline.
Speaker 9 (17:28):
I know it's in PA and I know it's in Ohio.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
I'm just assuming it was everywhere.
Speaker 8 (17:33):
Yeah, no, it's not. By the way, this would be
an awkward time to bring it up. Spike sent me
his album Yeah, and for some reason it rejected when
he sent to the station, so I had to give
him my address, and I think somewhere along the line,
I never did get my drumsticks, my autograph. Drumsticks is
what I wanted to put in the hall me. But
(17:54):
I have the outlets right behind me. No, Spike. While
all fifty states in the District of Columbia levy a
gasoline tax, there is no single uniform federal mandate requiring
the exact itemized tax rates to be displayed on every
fuel pump across the country. Now there are a few
states that implemented laws and regulations requiring the disclosure of
(18:14):
the taxes. But yeah, it is interesting, you know. I mean,
if I go to a restaurant today, I'm going to
see what the tax was. If I go to the grocery
and I'm going to see what the taxes. If I
go to a convenience store, I'm gonna see what with
the taxes. And we pump every day. It's probably one
of our top five expenditures in a month, and we
never get to see the tax And they do vary
by county.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
They certainly vary by state.
Speaker 8 (18:35):
Oh see California, Oh Cola for yob.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
All right, M well that's the wrong one. That was
my bad. Dude.
Speaker 9 (18:48):
He's got to stopped.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
I really don't know what he says at the end
of this. I don't think he knows what I think
I do. It's got to be a big misunderstanding.
Speaker 8 (19:01):
Always I love your garbage truck, always revealing, often entertaining.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Time for your Sounds of the day. Well, I started.
Speaker 8 (19:11):
I think my first was Ingelbert Humperdink, and Jeffrey was
really concerned for me. He thought I'd really gone off
the deep end. I I just I find these people
like they come across my Facebook real and I just
get addicted to their either daily or weekly messages. You
(19:31):
know it's Tuesday Moosdy with inglebut hump adink And I
think it was during COVID deep Boredom. Then I moved
out of Neil saidaka, and you made fun of me.
But that's when I made the famous recording. In fact,
it's to this day the only time I've ever used.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
The talk bag. Really, I called up as Neil.
Speaker 9 (19:52):
Sidaka, Hello, everybody, my morning show is your morning with
my nays calender boy Microsoft.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
He would do scary how much you sound like yeah,
because he would almost do daily videos at his piano,
and I was just like, wow, you know, I mean
some of these people.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
I did the same thing with Frankie Avalon.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
These people were big stars in their day, and now
they're older and they're sitting there with their phone and
they're doing I think.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
I So we lost Neil and it was sad.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
So I'm looking for someone new, and I think I'm
gonna go with Barry Manilow. I got this from Barry yesterday.
Speaker 9 (20:29):
We won Barry Manilo here.
Speaker 10 (20:31):
Well, it looks like I made it and I look fabulous, right,
you know, with everything that's going on in the world,
I wanted to check in and share some good news.
Speaker 9 (20:42):
In fact, it's great news. Our latest single.
Speaker 10 (20:46):
Once before I Go just enter the top ten on
the pop chart. How do you like that?
Speaker 8 (20:54):
At some point he has physically and audibly turned into
Barbara Walters, and I find that fascinating. Well, NBC did
a special report in an exclusive interview with Iron's foreign minister,
and they got right to it with this, the world saw.
Speaker 9 (21:11):
Your battleship sunk in the Indian Ocean.
Speaker 12 (21:14):
Dozens of Iranian sailors died.
Speaker 7 (21:16):
Your response was, quote mark my words.
Speaker 12 (21:19):
The US will come to bitterly regret the president, it
has said.
Speaker 7 (21:23):
So what is a wronggoing to do?
Speaker 6 (21:24):
And at this point, given the state of your military
right now, what can you do?
Speaker 9 (21:30):
Well?
Speaker 13 (21:30):
First of all, that was a training Navy training ship
which was invited by the Indian Navy to take part
in an exercise. And they went there as.
Speaker 9 (21:45):
Their guests, the Indians guests.
Speaker 14 (21:47):
And they you know, did participate in that exercise and
they got in their way back home and the ship
was unarmed. So attacking an unarmed ship full of you know,
you know, training officers and sailors, is.
Speaker 7 (22:07):
You know of war crime?
Speaker 9 (22:08):
Might have to say, once I.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
Said battleship, what minister, excuse me, but what type of
military would allow a battleship into the ocean with no
weapons on board?
Speaker 8 (22:19):
You know it's bad when not even NBC is buying it, right,
there is something today it's not It's not shocking that
Iranian officials would lie and hide what they are. They'll
make proclamations and they go public, but when you ask
them a direct question, and again they're allowed to lie.
(22:40):
It's called takiya, and so they're allowed to deceive in
order to protect the goals of a lot. So I'm
not I'm not shocked by that. What I am shocked
is here at home and we did this. You know
the three things you really need to know because no
one's covering them. Just three years ago, when it came
(23:01):
to assessing Iran as a nation that supports terrorism and
the largest supporter of terrorism, that proclamation passed four hundred
and twenty to one. One person didn't buy it. Three
(23:24):
years later, at a time where we're addressing with Operation
Epic Fury, it's only three hundred and seventy two to
fifty three. And in that we have fifty three Democrats,
including all of the squad, voting against reaffirming Iran as
(23:44):
the largest state sponsor of terrorism, which is just a
fact on planet Earth. There is no one that would
assess foreign policy. And now talk to you about the
Russian Iranian, China North Korea connection, and of all of them,
everyone would assess the most predictable threat to the region
(24:08):
in the world is Iran because of its Islamic ambitions.
If war means mode of an opportunity, they only lack
means missile delivery systems and enough enriched geranium to produce
warheads because their motive is fourteen hundred years old, and
(24:32):
their opportunity to be the minute they have it, either
through one of their proxies and terrorist organizations or as
a nation. And yet you had fifty three vote against it.
Now for Republicans it was two hundred and fifteen.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
Yea's, zero nays, zero presence three who didn't vote. They
weren't there.
Speaker 8 (24:55):
Democrats one hundred and fifty seven to fifty three. So
we talk about in the election cycle, Hey, the Democrats
got an Israel problem. They're anti Semitic, they're anti Israel.
There's a lot of Jewish Democrat voters. That's a problem
for them. They're starting to develop a terrorism problem. Fifty
(25:20):
three out of two hundred are in support of Iran
and not willing to acknowledge that they are a supporter
of state sponsored terrorism.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
I don't know, what do you think those numbers are like?
Speaker 8 (25:41):
If this is all just to diminish their weapon of
mass destruction capabilities and we're kicking the can as some
experts say three to five years, I wonder what those
numbers are three to five years from now. Well, Christy
Gnome is out. We're being told didn't handle things well
in Minnesota, embarrassing that she's having an affair that everybody
(26:04):
knows about but her husband. And that was a really
bad moment and a congressional hearing. But the final straw
a two hundred and twenty million dollar ad campaign featuring
her face for self deportation. Now we've had two million
self deport and we have zero border crossings. So does
some degree you could say Homeland Security has been doing
(26:27):
a great job, but things have been mounting with Christy Nome,
and the President felt he had to move and I
get it. You're going to make a move before the midterms,
sooner is better, And you got to get somebody they
can get through Congress and get affirm so why not
one of their own. And that's how you arrive at
Mark Wayne Mullen, And he had this to say about
(26:52):
how it went down yesterday.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
I want a complete surprise, but he came at a
lot of a surprise.
Speaker 10 (26:57):
Course.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
And so the President, as you guys know, we're great
friends and we get along great.
Speaker 7 (27:03):
I look forward to working.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
With him in his cabinet. Of course, we still got
to build this little thing called Confirmation, and we're going
to get started on right away.
Speaker 7 (27:11):
You guys, you guys have been with me long enough,
asked me enough questions.
Speaker 15 (27:14):
You know I don't share a private conversation.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Tell me going to the White House today.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
I don't think I'm going today.
Speaker 15 (27:20):
I think I need to talk to my wife first.
Speaker 16 (27:24):
Tell us your reaction when you got the phone call
from him.
Speaker 7 (27:28):
I was excited.
Speaker 15 (27:29):
I mean, sall, well, it came from a White House,
so it came from the switchboard, but I was excited.
I the president first all, the President I have a
really good relationship.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
We talk all the time.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Anyways, I wasn't. I've got to be honest with you.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
I wasn't expecting the call today, but super excited and
and I'm.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
I can't figure out why he'd be excited.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
He's going to give up his United States Senate seed
for what a two plus a little over two year
term as Homeland Security Director. The governor of Oklahoma will
pick his replacement. I think that good for four years.
And I get that he's a Senator, which makes confirmation possible.
If this was some kind of a sacrificial offering to
(28:10):
the Democrats, they're not cooperating anymore. I don't think they
can block it. I think they'll pass him and affirm him.
I think he loses the Senate seat, he replaces Nome
as Homeland Security Director, and the Oklahoma governor will appoint
his replacement. As for the exact final straw, well, this
is what was coming from the White House, very.
Speaker 16 (28:30):
Close to him, who can speak to his thinking. The
quote that I was given was it was a combination
of her many unfortunate leadership failures, from Minnesota to the
ad campaign to the allegations of an affair. You'll recall
in the aftermath of the ice deportation campaign in Minnesota
that took the lives of two protesters. There were a
(28:51):
number of Republicans who called for her to step down,
among them Tom Tillis, Alisa Murkowski. Others called for investing
gations and heavily criticized her, including Bill Cassidy, Pete Ricketts,
Susan Collins, Ted Cruz, Ted Young, Mike Crapo, Jerry Moran.
John Kennedy also told me on the Sunday briefing he
(29:11):
was very happy that the President had elevated Tom Holman
to take a lead in Minnesota, and then he'd let
the President know that.
Speaker 7 (29:19):
Yeah, I think I think Holman would be very tough.
Speaker 8 (29:24):
To get confirmation through the Senate with I think that
would be the most effective Homeland Security director. And you
can still use him as you did in Minnesota, to
come in and spearhead some things. But you're going to
have to find one of your own, you know. We
talked to White House correspondent John Decker earlier. He says, no,
everything we're hearing is that two hundred and twenty million
(29:45):
dollar ad campaign was the final straw, and when she
misled the committee and said the President knew about it.
He was mad as a hornet's nest, is what it's
so it appears to be. The affair wasn't good, the
characterizations and the handling of Minneapolis wasn't good. But the
final straw was the two hundred and twenty million dollars
(30:06):
of spending. As you see the Democrat Party get more
and more anti Israel, more and more anti American, more
and more anti capitalist, further and further to the left.
There's only one voice of reason on most given days,
(30:26):
and it's Senator Fetterman. And he had this to say
about his party's lack of support for America, for Israel
and against terrorists.
Speaker 17 (30:37):
Yeah, well, I mean, I just I just wanted to
say that I watched like the highlights that you showed,
especially the ship getting blown out of the water. Now,
I remember the Iranian generals were saying that our ships
were going to end at the bottom of the ocean,
and that's theirs. Like, look at that again, it's on
the screen right now, boom, you know, like I love it,
you know, I mean, and so I don't know why
(30:58):
we can't be on and just celebrate that. But I
guarantee you every single member of the Congress that you
just had there said we can never allow Iran to
acquire a nuclear bomb. And now now that that's happened
now and that's made that impossible right now, and then
we all agree, they all now say, well, we won't
we won't grieve. You know that that I told is gone.
(31:21):
So you know, when someone did that and made sure
that possible, why can't we, as a Democrat just say, hey,
I think that's a good thing. I think I think
that the world's safer, I think it's more just, And
then I do think we have a possible path for real,
true enduring peace in the region.
Speaker 8 (31:38):
Because you're not a opposition party, You're not Americans first.
You are a partisan obstruction party. It's really kind of
sad to watch. I mean, I've watched a Democrat party
from from JFK to Ted Kennedy, let alone Jimmy Carter
(32:00):
to Barack Obama and whatever it is today. This is
a party that has left sense and sensibility and has
certainly left Senator Fetterman far far behind.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
All Right, everybody block.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Alone, Look, you've just gotta try harder, not for suster,
the opportunity for a brief civics lesson.
Speaker 9 (32:19):
Sure, perhaps you'd like to be alone with you?
Speaker 7 (32:23):
I definitely, I don't know. Well, there you have it.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
It's your morning show with Michael del Choino.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
Well, nobody likes a peeking peeping Tom, but peeping Howard's okay.
Fifty five minutes after the hour, Christy Nome is out
his Homeland Security serect secretary. But she's not the only one.
Texas Republican Congressman Tony Gonzalez ending his bid for re
election following calls to resign after an affair with a
former staffer who later died by suicide. She lit herself
(32:55):
on fire to kill herself. The House is voted down
it's war powers resolution. In fact, the House Speaker, Mike
Johnson said this was all a waste of time. There's
no intention for the US to be at war. Triple
A says the national average has jumped about twenty seven
cents a gallon. I don't know that i'd call that
soaring or unexpected, quite frankly, but average gasoline is three
(33:18):
twenty five at the pump nationwide, and both House and
Senate have given the President the leeway to continue his
military operations.
Speaker 7 (33:27):
That was no small thing.
Speaker 8 (33:29):
Whatever the Democrats had planned to obstruct, this was voted
down in the Senate and then yesterday in the House.
So what does it mean for the conflict to head?
National Correspondent Roy O'Neil has the very latest force. Good
morning Rory, Hey, good morning Michael.
Speaker 6 (33:42):
So it means that for now, Operation Epic Fury will
continue to unfold as the administration chooses it to, and
essentially that Congress is going to stay back and let's
see what happens. I think there were some members who
were making it clear as well that all right, look,
I'm a no on this for now, but if it's
boots on the ground or something else should happen in
(34:03):
the meantime, they may want a chance to bring up
this issue again to get Congress more involved. But at
this point, they say, from what we're hearing, from what's
been laid out by the President or the Secretary, it
seems like they can just let this operation go as is.
Speaker 8 (34:16):
Well. Something you don't hear a lot I thought you would,
was the President offering up Christy Nome as some kind
of sacrificial offering to the Democrats. Now let's get out
of funding Homeland Security ICE TSA well, it didn't work
and the President saying no, the I don't like how
she handled Minneapolis and the final star. I was this
two hundred million dollar ad campaign and she, you know,
(34:37):
having this affair with Corey Lewanowski and so you know,
But I don't know if this was a sacrificial offering.
Speaker 7 (34:44):
I don't think it's budged anything. Has it in terms
of funding? No, I think I don't think it was sacrificial.
Speaker 6 (34:50):
I think there was enough there to justify, you know,
the President taking the action. She was becoming a distraction,
especially after the hearings this week on Capitol Hill. I
think Mark Waynemullen is great on these TV shows. He's
going to be something to contend with for the media.
Speaker 8 (35:05):
Yeah, and should have an easy confirmation. After all, it's
his club of one hundred that will be affirming him.
Speaker 7 (35:11):
Great reporting.
Speaker 8 (35:12):
Don't forget to check out Rory's weekend dive on iHeart
stations across the country. Make a difference in someone's life.
Have a great weekend, and we'll see a Monday.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Venheld jow Now
Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can
be heard live each weekday morning five to eighth Central,
six to nine Eastern and great cities like Nashville, Tennessee
two below, Mississippi and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be
a part of your morning routine and take the drive
to work with you, but better late than never. We're
grateful you're here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Two three, starting your morning off right. A new way
of talk, a new way of understanding, because we're in
this together.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
This is your morning show with Michael Dell.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Charm Hey, Michael, the price was already going up before.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
The war started.
Speaker 6 (00:40):
It was up about.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Thirty forty cents from six months ago, already before the
war even started. I think a lot of it has
to do with the summer blended repin refine to read maintenance.
Speaker 7 (00:57):
Yeah, you're you're all over it.
Speaker 8 (01:00):
Here's a headline California diesel prices soar is higher tax
takes effect October thirteenth, twenty twenty three. And even then
it was right at six dollars. So caller calls up
and says, hey, are diesels up at six dollars? I'd
say that soaring well. As of early March, California diesel
(01:22):
prices were averaging between five dollars and forty cents a
gallon and five dollars and sixty cents a gallon. So
if you're seeing six dollars, I can't speak county to county.
It can vary. There are regional variations because of distribution.
(01:44):
There are county variations based on blends. As the caller
was just saying, California has the highest diesel taxes in
the US. I have always been astounded of all the
things we let alone, things that are running at a
level that our gas is in our vehicles, something that
(02:10):
you might be spending eighty to one hundred dollars a
month on and you never see the tax. Go buy
anything else, you'll see the cost of what you bought
and the tax and the tax. Go to a restaurant,
you'll see the cost of everything you ordered, the tax,
and then you'll see the tip.
Speaker 7 (02:28):
But never on a pump, which is.
Speaker 8 (02:32):
Always fascinating me because we always demonize big oil, you know,
making a cent a gallon, but they don't want you
to see what the government's making. And then you're still
paying for toll roads, and California is one of the
worst highest diesel taxes in the US. They like the pipeline,
they lack the infrastructure, making transportation, you know, a fuel difficult.
(02:57):
It's always higher than other places. But I just don't
even if it were at six dollars as you're saying,
that's not any different than the story I just read
from twenty thirteen. What were we saying then, what were
we saying in twenty twenty three. I mean, it's okay
(03:19):
to disagree with me, It's okay for me to be wrong.
I'm just saying, we hear these narratives over and over again.
You're being bombarded with gas. Prices are soaring. They're nothing
compared to the way they soared when Russia invaded Ukraine. No,
we're even near. And no matter what narrative or what
(03:39):
words they use, Triple A reports the national average has
jumped twenty seven cents to three twenty five a gallon.
Now that's an average. It can vary by state, it
can vary by county, it can vary by boutique blends.
But the Triple A national average is only up twenty
seven sense three dollars and twenty five cents a gallon.
(04:03):
Now diesel is higher, and especially obviously in California.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
Oh my goodness, it's ten after left time. We all
say hail to the Chief.
Speaker 8 (04:14):
He's the one we all say hail to, even and
especially at a time of war.
Speaker 7 (04:19):
Mister President, good morning.
Speaker 9 (04:22):
Well, good morning, pizza board. You know, we're doing very
well in Iran, right you look at it. They're not
happy with me, but no, we're very happy with where
we are. I have to say that we're doing tremendously well.
And they better be careful because we may drop Bobby
on them. Who knows, but we'll see what goes on,
and we'll see what we want to do. What we're
(04:42):
doing is incredibly effective, and we're doing very well in
the run. We're at a schedule you or, way ahead,
and under budget too, just like everything I build. So
we're doing very well. I can tell you that. Well.
Speaker 8 (04:55):
I remember thinking, maybe you're waiting till after the Olympics,
maybe you're waiting until after the State of the Union
turns out with Israeli intelligence. We were just waiting for
them all to be in the same room, and that
level of decapitation of the head of the snake was
certainly significant and so well done.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
Now it's hard to find the next leader. They're all dead.
Speaker 9 (05:14):
Well, I have to say, you know, you look at
Ali Kamani and I call him Commaniac because he's a
sick person, or was a sick person. He used to be,
you know, he used to be a sick person, but
now he's a dead person. He died like a dog,
you know, like a dog, crying and whimpering and swimming.
He died like the albag daddy, like Sola Money did,
(05:35):
like a dog, which is why we now referred to
him as the supreme loser, not the supreme leader. He's
the supreme loser. And nobody loses quite like Comeniac. And
so now you see, there was a bunch of them
that were trying to pick another leader, and black smoke
rose up above the roof, which means they were all
dead too. There is no new Ayatola. And now they
(05:57):
have a comaniac son, you know, mister Maniac Junior and
I give it about twelve hours, and we're going to
find out where he is and we're going to do
the same thing, you know, We're going to turn him
into dust. They died like dogs. So you know, we
do a tremendous job.
Speaker 10 (06:13):
You look at.
Speaker 9 (06:13):
Iran, they're doing horrible. They really are doing horrible, and
they should have taken the deal, but they don't want
to take the deal. And so now the supreme loser
and all of his loser friends are dead, and anybody
who continues to side with the regime is we call
it playing with fire. So we dropped Stacy Abrams on Commanie,
we dropped Rosie O'Donnell on a couple of the others
(06:36):
have jiggling belly pritz here. We still have Chris Christy,
and we still have Katie Porter ready to go that
much time.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
The biggest bombs you really mean business haven't been used yet.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
It was kind of interesting to watch Great Britain's response
that got on your radar. You're actually very disappointed, but
I doubt you were surprised.
Speaker 9 (06:57):
Right well, you look at Great Britain, you look at Spain,
and those two are the only two Muslim countries that
aren't on our side right now. You look at these guys.
You look at Saudi Arabia, they're doing great. You look
at Azerbaijan, they're doing great.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
You look at.
Speaker 9 (07:11):
Kuwait and Bahrain and no Man and Qatar and the
United Arab Emirates. They're all on our side. They're cheering
us on the Kurds. We love the Curds. But you
look at the other Muslim countries, like Great Britain, France,
who's already surrendered. Believe it or not. Could you believe
that they already surrendered the wars, not even in their country,
(07:31):
they're already. I can't believe it. But you look at them.
You look at Spain, they think the running of the
bulls is dead. Wait until I get a hold of them.
It's going to really be a bull of a China shop.
But these people are horrible. These countries are very disappointing.
They want us to defend them. If little munchkins Alynski calls,
(07:53):
they do everything they want. But when we're taking after
us evil regime in the history of the world, probably
since World War Two. They were pretty evil too, And
we did not get along very well with Nazi Germany.
It's a nasty great very happy that they're gone, But no,
we didn't get along.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
Well with either.
Speaker 9 (08:11):
And they were evil, very evil. Forty seven years of
death and destruction, were taking him out, and the UK
in Spain couldn't be bothered to help nasty people. And
we'll remember that the next time they want something, the
next time they call it sir, please sir, we'll say,
where were you when we were taking care of Iran?
(08:32):
You were saying things that we didn't like very well,
well very much, and so we'll remember that. We'll remember
that they're very disappointing countries.
Speaker 8 (08:41):
I can tell you that Friday with forty seven boy,
that was a lesson for Crenshaw in you know, coming
out against you not a good thing to do as
a Republican right now, but you must be thrilled Jasmine
Crockett has gone.
Speaker 9 (08:56):
Well, you look at Jasmine Crockett, I call a nurse Shretchi.
She's a nasty person, very stupid person. And you look
at Crenshaw. He's got a lot of problems. He's an
angry person and he's no longer going to be an
angry person in Congress. So we upgrade. It's called an upgrade.
But you look at Crockett and I'm waiting for her
to play the race card. She should do it. I
(09:18):
think she should say the Democrat Party voters are rasist
because they voted for a white male over a woman
of color. They halted her progress. How dad they and
I think demands people clutched the pearls. They made a clutch.
They've been a clutch them like nobody's ever clutch them before.
I'm out raised for Jersey. I'm out raised for her.
She deserved better and it was nasty what they did.
(09:42):
They ripped her off, they rigged it, and so I
think I think she ought to be very upset. She
should go on old McDonald's farm otherwise known as the
zoo or any people called it the view with the
bickering buldvine like Whoopie Godberg and what they are and
all those people and say that there was rape shill
suppression going on in her election. She should do that,
(10:04):
because she does it all the other times. She should
do that. But we're happy to see Crenshaw go, and
Ed will sit.
Speaker 7 (10:11):
It dere for Crockett.
Speaker 9 (10:14):
Al Green is having a lot of problems him. It
is cane of God. After the stunt that he pulled,
he's gonna be gone. He's gonna runoff, and he can't
really run anywhere you look at it.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
He's got a can so.
Speaker 10 (10:25):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (10:25):
I think he's in a lot of trouble too, and
we won't be sorry to see him go. Although he
tried to impeach me last year Pizza Boy for destandly deeds,
I've never heard of that before. They called me destinantly done. No,
I do a tremendous job. They do a tremendous job.
We do a tremendous job, and we're happy to see
him go.
Speaker 8 (10:45):
Closing moments with Friday with forty seven. So you're going
to attend the correspondent's dinner. Why did you make the
decision to make this your first Well, we're.
Speaker 9 (10:53):
Doing that because Caitlin Collins is really getting on my nerves.
She's going to be there, and I just want to
call her Sky Presler to her face. That's why I
want to do that. You know, she looks a lot
like Scott Presler, and Scott says the same thing, says,
you know, this is not me, this is somebody else.
She's a fake news reporter on CNN, but now she
(11:13):
does a horrible job, and she really fell from grace.
She used to be a very nice person. Now she's
a nasty person. That's what happens when you work for
the fake news, but no, we're gonna go. They asked
me very nicely to go, and because they asked nicely,
I'm gonna go. And it's gonna be a tremendous time.
We're gonna roast a bunch of these people. The correspondent's
(11:34):
a nasty people's to roast a bunch of these people.
We're gonna we're gonna team them and domesticate them. But
they have nasty people, but we're gonna handle them properly,
and we're looking forward to doing that. You know, we've
never done it before, but it's the Golden era, so
we ought to get it started and get the fake
(11:54):
news in line. And we're gonna get them line.
Speaker 8 (11:56):
I know, I'm just a pizza boy, but why not
just host it yourself.
Speaker 9 (12:00):
Well, we want to go there hosting it, but we're
going to go. When we have the ballroom done, we
can host it.
Speaker 10 (12:06):
Think of that.
Speaker 9 (12:06):
We got the big beautiful ballroom, the court. It's called
the King's Court. The big beautiful ballroom is called King
Donald's Royal Court. That's going to be the name of it.
Nobody knows that, but we're breaking news on your show,
you know, you get great ratings too, and you are
not just a pizza boy. The pizza boy they say
it's not delivery, not tell joor No, he is yourmendous job.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
God bless you, all right, mister president.
Speaker 8 (12:32):
Obviously, congratulations on being ahead of schedule and the war
in Ron and we all trust and say hell to
you until next week.
Speaker 7 (12:42):
Thank you for joining us, mister president.

my entire family, and you should too. They fight silently
(13:51):
behind the scene. And Cognate took my information off three
hundred and fifty eight broker sites in the first forty
eight hours. That would have taken me five hundred hours.

never found five hundred dollars. You got to go beyond blocking.

Speaker 8 (14:54):
The Secretary of War Beate Hecksaf is commenting on Christy
Nome being replaced as Homeland Security Secretary and replaced by
a Republican Senator, Mark Queen Mullin.
Speaker 11 (15:03):
Thanks Eth said we all serve at the pleasure of
the President, while saying he thinks Mullen will do a
fantastic job. Trump fired Nome on Thursday, saying she'll become
the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas, a
new initiative in the Western Hemisphere.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
He did not provide a reason for the move.
Speaker 11 (15:18):
But multiple reports save Trump was upset after Nome told
Congress he signed off on a two hundred and twenty
million dollar dhs AD campaign that prominently featured her face.
Nom is the first cabinet member to depart Trump's cabinet
during his second term, a Mark Neefield.
Speaker 8 (15:32):
Meanwhile, when it comes to Iran, the President supports the
Kurds launching an offensive inside the country.
Speaker 12 (15:37):
A coalition of Iranian Kurdish groups i've reportedly been in
touch with the administration over a potential incursion into western Iran.
President Trump tells reut As he thinks it's wonderful the
Kurds want to do that, and he's all for it.
Multiple news outlets report the CIA has given small arms
to Iranian Kurdish militias as part of a secretive push
to destabilize the Islamic Republic. However, when asked if Washington
(16:00):
would supply air support for a potential Kurdish offensive against
the Iranian regime, Trump responded, I can't tell you that.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
I'm Jim Roupe. Oop. She did it again.
Speaker 11 (16:18):
Spears was arrested Wednesday night in Ventura County, but has
since been released. TMZ reports she was taken to the
hospital after being pulled over so police could draw her blood.
Her manager told the outlet that the incident is completely
inexcusable and Spears won't take the right steps in what
is a long overdue change she needs in her life.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
I'm Mark Nephew.
Speaker 12 (16:39):
This is Sham Paul from Avita, Florida, and my morning

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Hey, it's me Michael. Your morning show is heard lie
from five to eight am Central, six to nine am Eastern,
three to six am Pacific on great radio stations like
News Radio eleven ninety k EX in Portland, News Talk
five point fifty k FYI, and Phoenix, Arizona Freedom one
oh four seven in Washington, d C. We'd love to
have you join us live in the morning, even take
us along on the drive to work. But better late
(17:12):
than never enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
Hey Michael, this is Spike from Ohio favorite drummer. I
believe on every gas pumption has to have a sticker
that tells you exactly how much state and federal taxes. No,
it doesn't on gasoline.
Speaker 9 (17:28):
I know it's in PA and I know it's in Ohio.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
I'm just assuming it was everywhere.
Speaker 8 (17:33):
Yeah, no, it's not. By the way, this would be
an awkward time to bring it up. Spike sent me
his album Yeah, and for some reason it rejected when
he sent to the station, so I had to give
him my address, and I think somewhere along the line,
I never did get my drumsticks, my autograph. Drumsticks is
what I wanted to put in the hall me. But
(17:54):
I have the outlets right behind me. No, Spike. While
all fifty states in the District of Columbia levy a
gasoline tax, there is no single uniform federal mandate requiring
the exact itemized tax rates to be displayed on every
fuel pump across the country. Now there are a few
states that implemented laws and regulations requiring the disclosure of
(18:14):
the taxes. But yeah, it is interesting, you know. I mean,
if I go to a restaurant today, I'm going to
see what the tax was. If I go to the grocery
and I'm going to see what the taxes. If I
go to a convenience store, I'm gonna see what with
the taxes. And we pump every day. It's probably one
of our top five expenditures in a month, and we
never get to see the tax And they do vary
by county.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
They certainly vary by state.
Speaker 8 (18:35):
Oh see California, Oh Cola for yob.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
All right, M well that's the wrong one. That was
my bad. Dude.
Speaker 9 (18:48):
He's got to stopped.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
I really don't know what he says at the end
of this. I don't think he knows what I think
I do. It's got to be a big misunderstanding.
Speaker 8 (19:01):
Always I love your garbage truck, always revealing, often entertaining.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Time for your Sounds of the day. Well, I started.
Speaker 8 (19:11):
I think my first was Ingelbert Humperdink, and Jeffrey was
really concerned for me. He thought I'd really gone off
the deep end. I I just I find these people
like they come across my Facebook real and I just
get addicted to their either daily or weekly messages. You
(19:31):
know it's Tuesday Moosdy with inglebut hump adink And I
think it was during COVID deep Boredom. Then I moved
out of Neil saidaka, and you made fun of me.
But that's when I made the famous recording. In fact,
it's to this day the only time I've ever used.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
The talk bag. Really, I called up as Neil.
Speaker 9 (19:52):
Sidaka, Hello, everybody, my morning show is your morning with
my nays calender boy Microsoft.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
He would do scary how much you sound like yeah,
because he would almost do daily videos at his piano,
and I was just like, wow, you know, I mean
some of these people.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
I did the same thing with Frankie Avalon.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
These people were big stars in their day, and now
they're older and they're sitting there with their phone and
they're doing I think.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
I So we lost Neil and it was sad.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
So I'm looking for someone new, and I think I'm
gonna go with Barry Manilow. I got this from Barry yesterday.
Speaker 9 (20:29):
We won Barry Manilo here.
Speaker 10 (20:31):
Well, it looks like I made it and I look fabulous, right,
you know, with everything that's going on in the world,
I wanted to check in and share some good news.
Speaker 9 (20:42):
In fact, it's great news. Our latest single.
Speaker 10 (20:46):
Once before I Go just enter the top ten on
the pop chart. How do you like that?
Speaker 8 (20:54):
At some point he has physically and audibly turned into
Barbara Walters, and I find that fascinating. Well, NBC did
a special report in an exclusive interview with Iron's foreign minister,
and they got right to it with this, the world saw.
Speaker 9 (21:11):
Your battleship sunk in the Indian Ocean.
Speaker 12 (21:14):
Dozens of Iranian sailors died.
Speaker 7 (21:16):
Your response was, quote mark my words.
Speaker 12 (21:19):
The US will come to bitterly regret the president, it
has said.
Speaker 7 (21:23):
So what is a wronggoing to do?
Speaker 6 (21:24):
And at this point, given the state of your military
right now, what can you do?
Speaker 9 (21:30):
Well?
Speaker 13 (21:30):
First of all, that was a training Navy training ship
which was invited by the Indian Navy to take part
in an exercise. And they went there as.
Speaker 9 (21:45):
Their guests, the Indians guests.
Speaker 14 (21:47):
And they you know, did participate in that exercise and
they got in their way back home and the ship
was unarmed. So attacking an unarmed ship full of you know,
you know, training officers and sailors, is.
Speaker 7 (22:07):
You know of war crime?
Speaker 9 (22:08):
Might have to say, once I.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
Said battleship, what minister, excuse me, but what type of
military would allow a battleship into the ocean with no
weapons on board?
Speaker 8 (22:19):
You know it's bad when not even NBC is buying it, right,
there is something today it's not It's not shocking that
Iranian officials would lie and hide what they are. They'll
make proclamations and they go public, but when you ask
them a direct question, and again they're allowed to lie.
(22:40):
It's called takiya, and so they're allowed to deceive in
order to protect the goals of a lot. So I'm
not I'm not shocked by that. What I am shocked
is here at home and we did this. You know
the three things you really need to know because no
one's covering them. Just three years ago, when it came
(23:01):
to assessing Iran as a nation that supports terrorism and
the largest supporter of terrorism, that proclamation passed four hundred
and twenty to one. One person didn't buy it. Three
(23:24):
years later, at a time where we're addressing with Operation
Epic Fury, it's only three hundred and seventy two to
fifty three. And in that we have fifty three Democrats,
including all of the squad, voting against reaffirming Iran as
(23:44):
the largest state sponsor of terrorism, which is just a
fact on planet Earth. There is no one that would
assess foreign policy. And now talk to you about the
Russian Iranian, China North Korea connection, and of all of them,
everyone would assess the most predictable threat to the region
(24:08):
in the world is Iran because of its Islamic ambitions.
If war means mode of an opportunity, they only lack
means missile delivery systems and enough enriched geranium to produce
warheads because their motive is fourteen hundred years old, and
(24:32):
their opportunity to be the minute they have it, either
through one of their proxies and terrorist organizations or as
a nation. And yet you had fifty three vote against it.
Now for Republicans it was two hundred and fifteen.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
Yea's, zero nays, zero presence three who didn't vote. They
weren't there.
Speaker 8 (24:55):
Democrats one hundred and fifty seven to fifty three. So
we talk about in the election cycle, Hey, the Democrats
got an Israel problem. They're anti Semitic, they're anti Israel.
There's a lot of Jewish Democrat voters. That's a problem
for them. They're starting to develop a terrorism problem. Fifty
(25:20):
three out of two hundred are in support of Iran
and not willing to acknowledge that they are a supporter
of state sponsored terrorism.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
I don't know, what do you think those numbers are like?
Speaker 8 (25:41):
If this is all just to diminish their weapon of
mass destruction capabilities and we're kicking the can as some
experts say three to five years, I wonder what those
numbers are three to five years from now. Well, Christy
Gnome is out. We're being told didn't handle things well
in Minnesota, embarrassing that she's having an affair that everybody
(26:04):
knows about but her husband. And that was a really
bad moment and a congressional hearing. But the final straw
a two hundred and twenty million dollar ad campaign featuring
her face for self deportation. Now we've had two million
self deport and we have zero border crossings. So does
some degree you could say Homeland Security has been doing
(26:27):
a great job, but things have been mounting with Christy Nome,
and the President felt he had to move and I
get it. You're going to make a move before the midterms,
sooner is better, And you got to get somebody they
can get through Congress and get affirm so why not
one of their own. And that's how you arrive at
Mark Wayne Mullen, And he had this to say about
(26:52):
how it went down yesterday.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
I want a complete surprise, but he came at a
lot of a surprise.
Speaker 10 (26:57):
Course.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
And so the President, as you guys know, we're great
friends and we get along great.
Speaker 7 (27:03):
I look forward to working.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
With him in his cabinet. Of course, we still got
to build this little thing called Confirmation, and we're going
to get started on right away.
Speaker 7 (27:11):
You guys, you guys have been with me long enough,
asked me enough questions.
Speaker 15 (27:14):
You know I don't share a private conversation.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Tell me going to the White House today.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
I don't think I'm going today.
Speaker 15 (27:20):
I think I need to talk to my wife first.
Speaker 16 (27:24):
Tell us your reaction when you got the phone call
from him.
Speaker 7 (27:28):
I was excited.
Speaker 15 (27:29):
I mean, sall, well, it came from a White House,
so it came from the switchboard, but I was excited.
I the president first all, the President I have a
really good relationship.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
We talk all the time.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Anyways, I wasn't. I've got to be honest with you.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
I wasn't expecting the call today, but super excited and
and I'm.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
I can't figure out why he'd be excited.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
He's going to give up his United States Senate seed
for what a two plus a little over two year
term as Homeland Security Director. The governor of Oklahoma will
pick his replacement. I think that good for four years.
And I get that he's a Senator, which makes confirmation possible.
If this was some kind of a sacrificial offering to
(28:10):
the Democrats, they're not cooperating anymore. I don't think they
can block it. I think they'll pass him and affirm him.
I think he loses the Senate seat, he replaces Nome
as Homeland Security Director, and the Oklahoma governor will appoint
his replacement. As for the exact final straw, well, this
is what was coming from the White House, very.
Speaker 16 (28:30):
Close to him, who can speak to his thinking. The
quote that I was given was it was a combination
of her many unfortunate leadership failures, from Minnesota to the
ad campaign to the allegations of an affair. You'll recall
in the aftermath of the ice deportation campaign in Minnesota
that took the lives of two protesters. There were a
(28:51):
number of Republicans who called for her to step down,
among them Tom Tillis, Alisa Murkowski. Others called for investing
gations and heavily criticized her, including Bill Cassidy, Pete Ricketts,
Susan Collins, Ted Cruz, Ted Young, Mike Crapo, Jerry Moran.
John Kennedy also told me on the Sunday briefing he
(29:11):
was very happy that the President had elevated Tom Holman
to take a lead in Minnesota, and then he'd let
the President know that.
Speaker 7 (29:19):
Yeah, I think I think Holman would be very tough.
Speaker 8 (29:24):
To get confirmation through the Senate with I think that
would be the most effective Homeland Security director. And you
can still use him as you did in Minnesota, to
come in and spearhead some things. But you're going to
have to find one of your own, you know. We
talked to White House correspondent John Decker earlier. He says, no,
everything we're hearing is that two hundred and twenty million
(29:45):
dollar ad campaign was the final straw, and when she
misled the committee and said the President knew about it.
He was mad as a hornet's nest, is what it's
so it appears to be. The affair wasn't good, the
characterizations and the handling of Minneapolis wasn't good. But the
final straw was the two hundred and twenty million dollars
(30:06):
of spending. As you see the Democrat Party get more
and more anti Israel, more and more anti American, more
and more anti capitalist, further and further to the left.
There's only one voice of reason on most given days,
(30:26):
and it's Senator Fetterman. And he had this to say
about his party's lack of support for America, for Israel
and against terrorists.
Speaker 17 (30:37):
Yeah, well, I mean, I just I just wanted to
say that I watched like the highlights that you showed,
especially the ship getting blown out of the water. Now,
I remember the Iranian generals were saying that our ships
were going to end at the bottom of the ocean,
and that's theirs. Like, look at that again, it's on
the screen right now, boom, you know, like I love it,
you know, I mean, and so I don't know why
(30:58):
we can't be on and just celebrate that. But I
guarantee you every single member of the Congress that you
just had there said we can never allow Iran to
acquire a nuclear bomb. And now now that that's happened
now and that's made that impossible right now, and then
we all agree, they all now say, well, we won't
we won't grieve. You know that that I told is gone.
(31:21):
So you know, when someone did that and made sure
that possible, why can't we, as a Democrat just say, hey,
I think that's a good thing. I think I think
that the world's safer, I think it's more just, And
then I do think we have a possible path for real,
true enduring peace in the region.
Speaker 8 (31:38):
Because you're not a opposition party, You're not Americans first.
You are a partisan obstruction party. It's really kind of
sad to watch. I mean, I've watched a Democrat party
from from JFK to Ted Kennedy, let alone Jimmy Carter
(32:00):
to Barack Obama and whatever it is today. This is
a party that has left sense and sensibility and has
certainly left Senator Fetterman far far behind.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
All Right, everybody block.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Alone, Look, you've just gotta try harder, not for suster,
the opportunity for a brief civics lesson.
Speaker 9 (32:19):
Sure, perhaps you'd like to be alone with you?
Speaker 7 (32:23):
I definitely, I don't know. Well, there you have it.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
It's your morning show with Michael del Choino.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
Well, nobody likes a peeking peeping Tom, but peeping Howard's okay.
Fifty five minutes after the hour, Christy Nome is out
his Homeland Security serect secretary. But she's not the only one.
Texas Republican Congressman Tony Gonzalez ending his bid for re
election following calls to resign after an affair with a
former staffer who later died by suicide. She lit herself
(32:55):
on fire to kill herself. The House is voted down
it's war powers resolution. In fact, the House Speaker, Mike
Johnson said this was all a waste of time. There's
no intention for the US to be at war. Triple
A says the national average has jumped about twenty seven
cents a gallon. I don't know that i'd call that
soaring or unexpected, quite frankly, but average gasoline is three
(33:18):
twenty five at the pump nationwide, and both House and
Senate have given the President the leeway to continue his
military operations.
Speaker 7 (33:27):
That was no small thing.
Speaker 8 (33:29):
Whatever the Democrats had planned to obstruct, this was voted
down in the Senate and then yesterday in the House.
So what does it mean for the conflict to head?
National Correspondent Roy O'Neil has the very latest force. Good
morning Rory, Hey, good morning Michael.
Speaker 6 (33:42):
So it means that for now, Operation Epic Fury will
continue to unfold as the administration chooses it to, and
essentially that Congress is going to stay back and let's
see what happens. I think there were some members who
were making it clear as well that all right, look,
I'm a no on this for now, but if it's
boots on the ground or something else should happen in
(34:03):
the meantime, they may want a chance to bring up
this issue again to get Congress more involved. But at
this point, they say, from what we're hearing, from what's
been laid out by the President or the Secretary, it
seems like they can just let this operation go as is.
Speaker 8 (34:16):
Well. Something you don't hear a lot I thought you would,
was the President offering up Christy Nome as some kind
of sacrificial offering to the Democrats. Now let's get out
of funding Homeland Security ICE TSA well, it didn't work
and the President saying no, the I don't like how
she handled Minneapolis and the final star. I was this
two hundred million dollar ad campaign and she, you know,
(34:37):
having this affair with Corey Lewanowski and so you know,
But I don't know if this was a sacrificial offering.
Speaker 7 (34:44):
I don't think it's budged anything. Has it in terms
of funding? No, I think I don't think it was sacrificial.
Speaker 6 (34:50):
I think there was enough there to justify, you know,
the President taking the action. She was becoming a distraction,
especially after the hearings this week on Capitol Hill. I
think Mark Waynemullen is great on these TV shows. He's
going to be something to contend with for the media.
Speaker 8 (35:05):
Yeah, and should have an easy confirmation. After all, it's
his club of one hundred that will be affirming him.
Speaker 7 (35:11):
Great reporting.
Speaker 8 (35:12):
Don't forget to check out Rory's weekend dive on iHeart
stations across the country. Make a difference in someone's life.
Have a great weekend, and we'll see a Monday.
