Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Your morning show airs live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern in great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happier here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
You're starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
This is your Morning Show with Michael o'deil charnon Horizon Shawn.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
It's seven minutes after the hour on Wednesday, March eleventh,
Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty six, on the air,
streaming live on your iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Jarno. Honored
to serve you.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Jeffrey serving us all up with sound red, keeping an
eye on the content if you're just waking up. Pentagon
confirming one hundred and forty US service members have been
wounded since military operation has began begun in Iran, eight
of them severely wounded. Seven, of course, as acknowledged already
have been killed. The US destroyed sixteen mind laying vessels.
(01:02):
We believe that there may be as many as two
dozen doing the work of putting mines in the Strait
in and around the Strait support moves to choke off
oil to the world. The US is working on that.
Concerns continue to grow that Iron is hiding about a
thousand pounds of enriched uranium, raising alarms about the nuclear
program and whether the US or ally forces will have
(01:23):
to go in on the ground in order to secure it.
Our national correspondent Roy o'neio filling this and other top
stories coming from the operation Epic Fury.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Good morning, Rory, Hey.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Good morning Michael, and right that thousand pounds of uranium,
whether or not it's under rubble that was when we
destroyed those nuclear sites last June, or.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
It was transported somewhere else.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
They're not really telling us exactly how much they know
about the location of that uranium, but they will say
it's probably only a couple of weeks from being made weapons. Great,
so they'd rather have it in the US custody or
as Raeli custody, which is why we believe there practicing
for some sort of an operation that would secure that uranium.
But it's going to be something that takes a bit
(02:06):
more time. This isn't going to be like going after
Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela. This is going to be something
that exposes either our forces or Israeli forces or some
combination to a lot of danger on a.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Trip like this.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Well, we got Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano on deck swinging
a bat. We'll talk more about objectives and possibilities with
all that, but yeah, it's either what secure its destruction
or go through the destruction and secure the material.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Either way, this will be quite an adventure.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Well, right, but now that the Navy's been eliminated, the
air defenses are essentially gone. They still have the drone
and the ballistic missile capability, although much less than what
it was. You know, now we are in an area
where we could more safely operate, but still a very
risky kind of mission. And then you wonder what the
timetable would have to be, right, say, well, we can
(03:00):
do this six months from now, after things have died
down and they have a new leader who might be
more USA friendly, or do we have to do something
that is going to be much more antagonistic.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Well, the week began with the President making a generalized
statement about it won't be much longer, and the mission
objectives are ahead of schedule, and oil went from what
one hundred twenty nine dollars a barrel down to eighty
eight dollars of barrel, so that crisis was over. You
would think securing the strait of horn Moves would be
priority number one. And with that stopping these mind laying vessels,
(03:32):
which we got sixteen of them, that was a good start, right.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
A good start. You know.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
The other concern of the fast boats. You know what
Iran does is they'll send out literally hundreds of speed
boats to try to interfere with some of these cargo
ships and tankers, literally hundreds. And they're just small boats,
but it doesn't take much to cause a fire on
an oil tanker, right, And they're very hard to defend
against since they're so low to the water, they're difficult
(03:58):
to detect, and missiles aren't necessar are the best defense
for them. So it's a real and again they're doing
it sort of that the same type of theory the
way they used drones, right, just flood the zone with
hundreds of them and as long as one gets through,
that's all they need to make their point. Now, We've
seen reports this morning three ships being hit by some
sort of a projectile. Don't know exactly what it was,
(04:19):
but clearly, after the US took those operations against the
mind layers, I think the focus is shifting to these
kind of speedboats and the threat they post.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Meanwhile, at home, the sanctuary city policies face renewed scrutiny.
Ory will have that story coming up in the third hour,
so Roy Great Reporting will talk.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Then.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano was joining us. He had a
lot of fun at my expense. Yesterday. You're in Toronto.
There's an attack on the US consulate. I'm worried. I'm
texting you. I'm seeing the dot dot dot.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Why couldn't you just say yes, I'm fine.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yes, I'm fine.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Oh, thanks for the laps around the anxiety pool.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
How do we know when done is done?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
In Iran?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
And does it really matter how long it takes?
Speaker 6 (05:08):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
That seems to be the new anxiety in America, which
is the more generalized question, what has been accomplished, what's
left to be accomplished, and why is it important to
accomplish it?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Right? So, we have already won in Iran, and we
have we have so decimated the capabilities of the regime
that one thing is, look, they would they would never
try this again while Trump is in office, and if
they did, he would just smack him into the dust. Right. So,
(05:42):
so that's three years right there. And then even if
we left the Iranians alone and we let the Chinese
and the Russians command and rebuild them and took all
the saying, it would take them over half a decade
to rebuild all the cape abilities that they've lost them
in just a few months. So today as we speak,
(06:07):
Donald Trump, that's brought us at least a decade when
a run is not the significant threatened region. And don't forget,
when this is over, the Arabs countries and the region,
they're not going to just say, oh yeah, we're going
to go back and let run. They're going to build
collective security architecture and air defense and economic so that
(06:30):
so they can protect themselves against a future Iranian regime.
So if it's hostile. So the question isn't have we accomplished,
you know, protecting American interests in the region. That's already done.
The question now is how much more can you buy?
Can you buy a friendly regime. Can you buy a
(06:52):
regime that gives up all its materials and stuff? And
then that is the cost benefit question that is on
the President of the United States will decide when he decides.
I mean, he has a pretty comfortable margin for his
capacity to continue to do activities in the region, both
from geopolitical alliances that he has and from the military
(07:14):
capacity he has on the ground and the basing options
that the US has. So we know the game is
over when Donald Trump says the game's over.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
So how do we know when done is done? When
Donald says it's done. I get that, And I think
what you said is very powerful because I'm hearing that
whenever I hear the president talk. I think the president
is aware nothing is going to happen and can happen
while he's president. But I think he's concerned about future presidents.
He came right out and said it, I want to
take care of this problem in a way that future
(07:43):
presidents can't create it again, which I get.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
That's the good, better, and the best.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
So first, remove the threat, kick the can down the
road as far as you can. Secondarily, hope that people
rise up and create a new Iran and then thirdly
regime change and the case of the sun not going
to be much better, but new Ayatola if he remains. So,
you know, assessing where we're at right now, doesn't look
(08:10):
like there's going to be a rise of the people.
Does the president have much poland who the next diatola is?
Do we just keep playing whack a moolah until we
get one we can kind of live with?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Well, you know, I'm sure he has a lot of influence.
But again, you know, looking at occultly from US interests,
our interest is that Iran is not the chief destabilizing
challenge in the region. Uh, And that's the objective he's
going to focus on. Of course, he would love for
the people of Iran to have control of the country.
Of course he would like to have a friendly regime.
(08:43):
But you know that those are aspirational goals as opposed
to the non compromisable American interests that have to be
protected and remembered. And you know what they said, it
was one hundred and something casually as we have seven dead,
I mean, this is not this is not playing and
opoi here. I mean we have real lives at state,
real American dollars on the line real military capability, and
(09:06):
it's risky. I mean, I was in peacetime. People die
in the army just train. Military operations are dangerous, so
we just don't It's not a game, you know, And
the President has to make a serious call. And I
think he'll make that call at the point where he
feels he's gotten the most he can get. And but
this is very trumpion, right. Trump has a vision of
(09:28):
what he's looking for, and then he see the environment,
he moves in that direction, and then he decides when
you know, when you know what's not right, and the
you bet until you're absolutely sure American interests are protected.
And beyond that questions is what's reasonable to get as
opposed to you know, I'm going to throw everything to
(09:50):
the wind for the perfect I mean, this is a
problem with the bush Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It
wasn't just about lowering the threat devices and now Kada
and you know, taking out a regime that potential. You know, Okay,
now that we're here, we're just going to go for
the perfect end state and build countries that are the
land in milk and honey and American allies. And that
doesn't work. It never works. That's well, it might work,
(10:12):
but that's a very right reach goal that actually isn't
necessarily essential for the protection of American interest. So if
it's easy, sure, yeah, do that great, make Disneyland. But
if it's not, let me come on.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Something came up yesterday. I'd be interested to get your
take on James Carafinal joining US lieutenant colonel from Toronto.
So somebody brought up you know, what would happen if
we have to send in ground troops in order to
secure this uranium?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
And while you're.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Sending them in, why not just send them all the
way in the anticipation being I don't know what to
take over and literally create a new regime, or avoid
any troops on the ground, or make it cold, you know,
make it or this Israeli for US is if you
have to secure that enriched uranium, that seems to be
(11:05):
the next decision, big decision to be made.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Your thoughts on that, yeah, I mean these are comments
that made mostly get people who have very little experience
in actual military operations. First of all, the difference between
going in and securing a site and taking over a
country are pretty formidable. I mean, it's like ninety million people,
twice the size of Texas. So give me a break.
There's not enough just military in the world. There's not
(11:28):
a few as an Israeli military in the world to
conqueror around. To put that out of your head, my
guess is if there was a military operation to secure
these materials, it would have to be done in a
relatively permissive environment because, first of all, think about the
environmental challenge is you would face right, this is sixty
(11:49):
percent enrich uranium. This is not just picking up iron
or a throat in the back of a truck. That's
a lot of weight. That is not significant amount of stuff.
It could be buried. You have to secure it, logistically
move it. This is not like the rate to get Maduro.
This would have to be a relatively organized, you know,
(12:14):
organized operation security on the ground. It's not an in
and out right. It could be a month or more.
It's not a one day operation. So it would definitely,
I think, be something that would have to be done,
like I said, in relatively permissive environments. That either means
with the cooperation of the host country host country it's funny,
(12:36):
or or that you had you know, you had absolute
control of that territory and you could move in at
your leisure and set this up. And but this all
presumes that you know, we know where the material is,
we know that it's in recoverable condition, and all that.
You know, it is important to to secure that material,
there's no question about that. But but on the other hand,
(12:58):
nobody's building a bomb with that stuff anytime soon. I mean,
you still have to enrich it more. And for that
you need uh center of reges. That you don't have
your your scientists or dispersed, your dead, your missile systems
in the shambles, your tech base has been damaged. It's
not it won't be the And at the end of
(13:19):
the day, even if everything went perfect and you are magical,
what would you have You have eleven nuclear bombs, yeah,
against the rest of the world. I'm not too sure
that that's a game. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
No, And you and you let into my final question,
which was you don't have the advanced inrifugis, you don't
have the command structure, the scientists. Is it even worth
going in and getting I mean, as far as the uranium,
they would eventually get it from somebody else anyway, Again.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Right, well, you don't you don't leave a massive supply
of highly enriched uranium hanging out there. That's that's that's
not going to happen. But first they and then and
then you know, of course the presumption is is you
know the iranium is lying, right they said they had it,
they really have it? You know, we think they have
(14:08):
a supply. How much do we really know they have?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Remember just see that just narrative playing out once again.
We went in for weapons and mass destruction and could.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I don't want to realize. Yeah I'm not saying that,
but but but but this regime lies eventually. It's just
like terrorism and lying are part of their front policy.
So you can't trust about anything. So you know, that's
what the young io tootally. You know, the reporting is
that the guy's not even conscious, so and he doesn't
(14:36):
even know there's a war on and he doesn't even
know he's theotol totally. Yeah, I'm not sure vegetable cardboard
vegetable man is going to be.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I know I need to run because of the heartbreak,
but I know that we're different. You spent your life
in the military. I didn't. I spent my life supporting
the military. I get afraid you don't, but I am
deep down Italian. The next time I text you when
you're somewhere there's an attack, just say yes for crying
out loud the Italian Trump's military experience. Every time I
was worried about you, I must really love you. Jimmy,
(15:06):
get home safe for a change, all right, James, joining
us from Toronto this morning.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Del Trono.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah, I'm going to rather than make this about me,
I'll just play you the Secretary of War yesterday concerning
the new Ayatola, a new.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Leader of Iran, he would be wise to heed the
words of our president, which is to not pursue nuclear
weapons and come out and state as such.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
As far as his status.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
That's not something I can comment on right now.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Well, it would appear this morning that his status is
somewhat in question. We're just talking Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano.
Whether or not he knows he's the Ayatola, whether or
not he's conscious, is in question. I think there was
probably a pretty good reason why you heard the lieutenant
colonel kind of giggo when I said, are we just
going to play wakamula? Until we finally have one that
(16:07):
we think is acceptable and that could be in motion already.
We'll have more on that coming up. I have your
top five stories the day. The President's off to Kentucky today.
Why well visit with White House correspondent John Decker about that.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Next.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Hi, I'm actress Lisa Varga and my morning show is
your Morning Show with Michael Del Giorno.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
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 if you're just waking up the Pentagons.
As one hundred and forty service members have been wounded
since military operations in Iran began, eight of them severely,
(16:56):
and as already has been reported, seven have lost their
life their country. The US has destroyed at least sixteen
mind laying vessels in and around the Strait of Horne
moves as they're trying to secure that area so oil
can flow. The race to fill former Georgia Congress from
when Marjorie Taylor Green seat is projected to advance into
(17:18):
a runoff and the White House is again pushing hard
for Congress to pass the Save America Act. Way do
you hear Chucky Schumer and our Sounds of the day
coming up in about twenty five thirty minutes. It's amazing
what these arguments have evolved to. You can't stop these
(17:39):
illegals from voting. It's purging the votles of illegals that
never should have been there. And obviously Italy did not
get the message beating the USA. How did Italy beat
the USA and beat them eight to six? And now
we need Italy to beat Mexico or I don't even
think we're going to advance. I mean, we were all
(18:01):
waiting for the Japan Dominican Republic, USA Venezuela, you know,
final four, and now we're not.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Even going to be there. Get the spring training early.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
And somebody won the Mega the old days with a kid,
uh you.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Know who do we got in center? Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Demaggio is playing? Okay, what were some of the great
Italian names in baseball? Joe Peptone would be a you
know I said, you know, yeah, that's as good as
it gets. I guess, uh winning the mega millions ticket.
We don't know who it was. We just know they
(18:44):
were in Illinois and it was about a half a
billion dollars. Meanwhile, the president's traveling to Kentucky today, not
just Kentucky, at Kentucky and Ohio, I believe, to the
White House. We go in our White House correspondent, John Decker,
I would assume discussing afforded and I guess preparing the
soil here.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Man, what do you have? Nothing?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
I got nothing?
Speaker 6 (19:07):
Well, I got my talkbacks back. Well, John Decker did
just log in just as we speak. Oh, okay, hey,
hello to John. Stop bringing your uncertainty into my certain life.
Hey there, good morning, Good morning John. Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
So, the President's headed to Ohio and to Kentucky. I
presume this is cultivating the soil for the midterm affordability narrative.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
But what else might be on the docket.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
Well, I would not be surprised if the President utters
two words during this trip.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Those two words Thomas Massey.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
He is going to Thomas Massy's congressional district. And as
you know, the President is not a big fan of
the Republican congressman from Kentucky. The President has endorsed his
opponent in the Republican primary, and I would certainly imagine
the President will bring that up during this trip.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I'm trying to I can't remember why am I blank
on the name of the guy in tech sis patch Oversie?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Help me? Oh? Crenshaw. Yeah, he's gont to Crenshaw is
what he's going to do?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Right where decor go? I'm right here? Oh yes, I
was saying, given the old Crenshaw treatment and get involved
in that any comment. You know, it seems like the
narratives ahead of the actual reality, let alone leadership. But
there's this ground swell of conversation about troops on the ground,
(20:34):
and Blumenthal is starting to with with all of that.
We know we have a lot of enriched geranium that
has to be retrieved. Has there been any talk about
revealing how that would would play out, because that would
that would be something that would take quite a bit
of time.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
I would think it would.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
Take a lot of time, absolutely, And the President has
already spoken about this military conflict lasting just a number
of weeks. That would certainly I think extend the timeline
for the president if that becomes a critical part of
his objectives or goals regarding this conflict. Now, the President
(21:13):
has indicated that it could be less than that. He
said that earlier this week on Monday, he said, a
lot of the goals have already been achieved by the
US military along with the Israeli military going after a run.
But you know, there are a lot of unknowns associated
with this conflict, and I think you're getting a little
bit of a pushback from some Republicans who don't want
(21:33):
to see this to be a quagmire like something that
took place during the Iraq War during the two thousands.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah, because once you get him on the ground, sometimes
they don't come out so quick. This would be a
very specific, tailored message. But in order to pull it off,
you're going through a lot of unsecured areas. Meanwhile, we
get the word of sixteen mind laying vessels that were
taken out, but that would suggest anywhere from eight to
ten more to still find. And how long before we
can reasonably expect the straight of hormonves to be secured.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
Well, that's a question that you have to ask the
oil companies because they make that decision. They make that
decision as to whether to risk that precious cargo, that
valuable cargo going through the straight of hot hormves and
right now they don't want to take that risk, despite
you know, the President offering up insurance through the federal government,
despite saying that possibly it hasn't happened yet, but possibly
(22:27):
there could be naval escorts of those cargo ships. We
have not seen any oil flow through the Strait of
Hormuz since this war began back on February the twenty eighth.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
All right, so one, you could take out these mines
as they're laying them, and then take out the vessels
that are laying them. That's a good start. Most of
the Navy's been taken care of. The problem is Revolutionary
Guards seems to have an ability to put these in there.
The insurance companies are spooked, so you know, you talk
about the vessels have to take the risk, but they're
(23:00):
not going to take the risk without the insurance. So
the president does the work around. All I will ensure you,
or will get the military expert. That's probably a combination
of that has got to be the next step. Well,
we'll see you again.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
You know, if you're the CEO of a major oil company,
You're right now not wanting to take that risk at all.
You'd rather find another method to get your oil out
of the Middle East. And so in the meantime, we
also know that the level of military attacks by the
(23:35):
US military, according to Pete Hegseth, we learned this yesterday,
has only increased in the last twenty four hours. That's
something that gives you a sentence about where this conflict
is and when potentially it could end.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
And questions about the new Wyatolin. Was he injured in
the original attack? Is he even conscious? The hits just
keep coming?
Speaker 1 (23:57):
All right?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
White House Briefing Room is the name of the PODCAS cast.
John Decker is your host of the White House Briefing
Wan to be up by nine Eastern eighth Central. Encourage
everyone to find it on your iHeart app, give it
a preset and listen to it every day. He'll go
in depth on that and more, and we'll talk to
you again tomorrow. John, Thank you so much. All right,
if you're just waking up, these are your top five
stories of the day to keep an eye on. President
(24:20):
Trump says he's aware of the US government is alerting
law enforcement. Iran may be activating sleeper sells. Mark Mayfield
has that story.
Speaker 8 (24:29):
Speaking in Florida, Trump said Democrats are the biggest obstacle
right now to investigating these threats.
Speaker 9 (24:34):
One of the things we have to do is get
the Democrats to stop. The Democrats shutdown because, as you know,
the apparatus that looks into that humor, and the Democrats
have shut it down, which shows you they probably hate
our country a lot. But the Democrats have to open
that up.
Speaker 8 (24:48):
The Democrats have withheld funding for the Department of Homeland
Security until there are reforms to ice.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
The federal government.
Speaker 8 (24:54):
Alert says it intercepted encryptive communications believed to have originated
in Iran that may serve an operational trigger for sweeper
assets outside the country. The alerg sency transmission appear to
be destined for clandestine recipients who have the encryption key.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I'm Marknefield.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Senator Richard Blumenthal trying to stir up a little trouble.
He believes the US is on a path is sending
in ground troops to Ron that equals, of course, endless war.
Speaker 10 (25:18):
Jim Roop reports the Connecticut Democrat made the remarks after
attending Tuesday's Senate Armed Services Committee briefing, he told reporters
he was as dissatisfied and angry as he has been
from any past briefing in his fifteen years in the Senate.
Bloomenthal added he left the briefing with more questions than answers,
especially about the cost of the war. President Trump has
not ruled out deploying ground troops in Iran.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
I'm Jim Roup and everybody at home keeping an eye
on the pump.
Speaker 11 (25:45):
Triple A reports a national average for a gallon of
regular guests jumped over night two three dollars and fifty
seven cents a gallon. A week ago, the national average
was at three dollars in nineteen cents. Flashed back to
a month ago, and we were at two dollars.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Ninety three.
Speaker 11 (25:59):
Drivers in California are feeling the most paint at the pump,
with the statewide average at five dollars and thirty three
cents a gallen. I'm Tammy Trahio.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Of course Tim doesn't mention about the pump two years
ago or one year ago.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Isn't that convenient? As church lady would say, give.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Me fuel, give me fo give me that Metallica says
they're hoping to add more shows that Las Vegas is
sar in the future. A social media post the Rock
and Roll Hall of Famers thank fans for selling out
all twenty four.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
You know, we may have to go to a concert there.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
That must be quite.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
The experience that no matter what's there now, I would
expect Metallica too, but I mean everything sells out there
and they may even add more shows. It is the
first twenty four shows of their Life Burns Faster residency
that have sold out almost immediately. Metallica will kick off
the Spear Residency in October and the shows are scheduled
(26:58):
to go through March of next year. Speaking of March,
March's Problem Gambling Awareness Month, isn't that interesting? It falls
right during March Madness, you bet due to the high
numbers of fans gambling on college basketball in the tournament.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Monica Nelson reports.
Speaker 12 (27:12):
Well will Lapps making it more accessible. Gretaco with the
Oregon Health Authority says most problem gamblers are between the
ages of thirty five and fifty five, and there will
be signs there could.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Be some financial strain. You could see changes.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
In relationships or relationship challenges, some people may pull away
from relationships with their spouses or their friends and family.
Speaker 12 (27:36):
If you or someone you know needs a free, confidential,
twenty four hour helpline, call one eight hundred. Gambler on
Monica Nelson pull away from relationships.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
I would pull away from a relationship with her even
if I wasn't gambling these voices today. Hey, at baseball?
What happened Mike Pizons from Italy? They had a little
fun John on the jerseys. You can see a little
spaghetti to meat his loss keens and the jersey. But
they still came out and beat USA eight to six.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
How did that happen?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
I certainly wasn't expecting to wake up to that. For USA,
they're now three to one and likely need Italy to
beat Mexico in order to advance. Lots of hockey. Red
Wings lost four to three to the Panthers. Preds beat
the crack In four to two. Blues lost four to
three in overtime to get a point against the Islanders.
Lightning lost five two to the Blue Jackets. Kings lost
two to one in overtime to the Bruins. Sabers won
(28:32):
six to three over the Sharks. Penguins lost five four
in a shootout to the Canes, and the Ducks over
the Jets.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Four to one on hardwood.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Grizz fell to the seventy six Ers one thirty nine,
one twenty nine. Pistons blew out the Nets one thirty eight.
One hundred Sons beat the Bucks one twenty nine, one
to fourteen. Blazers lost by a bucket to the Hornets.
Kings over the Pacers one fourteen one oh nine. Lakers
beat the Tea Wolves one twenty to one oh six.
Birthdays today, Rupert Murdoch of the Fox Empire is ninety
(29:02):
five years old. Today Empire star Terrence Howard actor fifty
seven years old. And don't worry, Bobby McFerrin, be happy.
You're seventy six years old today. And if it's your birthday,
happy birthday. So glad you were born. Thank you so
much for sharing part of your big day with us
at your morning show. Happy birthday, all right. My little
(29:23):
boy's going to turn eight. My dog, Bloomer Baker Mayfield.
I had noticed these rashes on his stomach and allergy
issues breath that would kill a small child. As I
would say, some achiness in the joints and just sleeping
a lot more. And I chalked it up to age.
But then I got my exactly what I'm offering you today,
(29:45):
absolutely free Jumpstart trial bag of rough Greens, and I
started sprinkling it on the same dry food he eats
every morning and sprinkling it on the same wet food
eats every afternoon.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
And it's changed my dog's life.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Allergies gone bad, breath gone, aches gone, sleeping more gone.
He's just becomes so vibrant, poppy like.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Now.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
The science of it is he's getting the live, bioavailable
nutrients that may have been baked out in that drive food,
including essential vitamins, minerals, probiotics, digestive enzymes, and mago oils,
and they work together so it improves nutrient absorption, helps
maintain healthy muscle and joints, enhances overall vitality, and does
lengthen life. I don't just speak for rough Greens. I
(30:37):
rely on it for the dog I love. So don't
change your dog's food. Just do what I did and
get your free Jumpstart trial bag and add rough greens.
You have nothing to lose and your dog has everything
to gain. You'll see the results. Now the trial jumpstart trialback.
(30:59):
It's absolute free. You just cover the shipping. But here's
how you get it rolling. Go to Roughgreens dot com
r u f F Roughgreens dot com. Enter the promo
code yams. That's promo code yams at rough Greens dot com.
So good, your dogs will ask for it by name Rough.
I do I keep forgetting to record that. I'll do
it to.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
I'll do it to.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
It's your Morning show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
Hey, Michael, I heard the Guyan team had an expresso
machine in the dugout.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
They're all hopped up on that caffeine.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
That's how.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Corvy Italy upset the US.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
We were going, we were saying, like, who was playing
for Italy last night that they beat Team USA? What
they have Mike Piazza behind the plate, thinking Gozo beads,
Phil Rizzuto, a great Italian name, Tony Conigliari. Tony Conigliori
was a great atal named Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Tommy Lasorda.
But I I don't know how Italy found its way
(31:59):
to victory. Now we need Italy to win. You better
root for him tonight against Mexico or USA may not
get a show down with Japan or Dominican Republic or Venezuela.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
We may not even make it to the quarters.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
All right, one on one time at fifty five minutes
after the hour earlier this morning and shame was plugged
for the podcast in the first hour. If you want
to listen to podcast later. We really broke this down,
this notion of the Democrats being viewed less favorably than
the GOP, which is relevant to a midterm election. But
forget that they're rated lower than Trump. They're rated lower
(32:34):
than Ice, which they have made the battleground issue. The
Democrat Party's net favorability rating is thirty percent at minus
twenty two, so they're at thirty percent very positive, somewhat positive.
That would suggest a good portion of Democrat Party isn't
(32:56):
happy with the Democrat Party while had a very negative
or somewhat negative view of them. They're twenty two points underwater.
Donald Trump was only minus twelve. The Republican Party is
minus fourteen. There's a discuss with both parties. Ice was
minus eighteen. In fact, the only thing that tested worse
(33:19):
than the Democrat Party was Iran at minus fifty three.
The party Democrats want and the party Democrats have. New
Hampshire Institute polling study goes with this, will the powers
(33:43):
that be in the Democrat Party allow it to be
a normal party? The forces that rule the left make
that very unlikely. What does this mean? California Governor Gavin
Newsom suggested during a recency in an appearance that to
win again, Democrats need to become more culturally normal. They're
(34:03):
right now in the abbe normal jar. In response to
this obvious point, far left commentators accused Nussom of betraying
his party's values and ceding the moral ground to the right.
The backlash was predictable. The Manhattan Institute survey of voters
(34:24):
in twenty twenty four offer a similar look. The Democrats
base is not a caricature coalition of socialist revolutionaries and
woke militants. The activists are there, but they are in
the minority.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Now.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
The problem is thirty eight percent said their party should
move towards an idle ideological center. The problem is when
you put the fifteen percent of Islamis with the forty
percent of socialists, that is a majority. So the radical
left within the party is taking the party too far
left to be of any real influence again, could this
(35:04):
be signs of the two party system collapsing and the
first to fall potentially the Democrat Party, if it hasn't
fallen already.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael ndel Jorno.
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Your morning show airs live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern in great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happier here now. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
You're starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
This is your Morning Show with Michael o'deil charnon Horizon Shawn.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
It's seven minutes after the hour on Wednesday, March eleventh,
Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty six, on the air,
streaming live on your iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Jarno. Honored
to serve you.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Jeffrey serving us all up with sound red, keeping an
eye on the content if you're just waking up. Pentagon
confirming one hundred and forty US service members have been
wounded since military operation has began begun in Iran, eight
of them severely wounded. Seven, of course, as acknowledged already
have been killed. The US destroyed sixteen mind laying vessels.
(01:02):
We believe that there may be as many as two
dozen doing the work of putting mines in the Strait
in and around the Strait support moves to choke off
oil to the world. The US is working on that.
Concerns continue to grow that Iron is hiding about a
thousand pounds of enriched uranium, raising alarms about the nuclear
program and whether the US or ally forces will have
(01:23):
to go in on the ground in order to secure it.
Our national correspondent Roy o'neio filling this and other top
stories coming from the operation Epic Fury.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Good morning, Rory, Hey.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Good morning Michael, and right that thousand pounds of uranium,
whether or not it's under rubble that was when we
destroyed those nuclear sites last June, or.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
It was transported somewhere else.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
They're not really telling us exactly how much they know
about the location of that uranium, but they will say
it's probably only a couple of weeks from being made weapons. Great,
so they'd rather have it in the US custody or
as Raeli custody, which is why we believe there practicing
for some sort of an operation that would secure that uranium.
But it's going to be something that takes a bit
(02:06):
more time. This isn't going to be like going after
Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela. This is going to be something
that exposes either our forces or Israeli forces or some
combination to a lot of danger on a.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Trip like this.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Well, we got Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano on deck swinging
a bat. We'll talk more about objectives and possibilities with
all that, but yeah, it's either what secure its destruction
or go through the destruction and secure the material.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Either way, this will be quite an adventure.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Well, right, but now that the Navy's been eliminated, the
air defenses are essentially gone. They still have the drone
and the ballistic missile capability, although much less than what
it was. You know, now we are in an area
where we could more safely operate, but still a very
risky kind of mission. And then you wonder what the
timetable would have to be, right, say, well, we can
(03:00):
do this six months from now, after things have died
down and they have a new leader who might be
more USA friendly, or do we have to do something
that is going to be much more antagonistic.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Well, the week began with the President making a generalized
statement about it won't be much longer, and the mission
objectives are ahead of schedule, and oil went from what
one hundred twenty nine dollars a barrel down to eighty
eight dollars of barrel, so that crisis was over. You
would think securing the strait of horn Moves would be
priority number one. And with that stopping these mind laying vessels,
(03:32):
which we got sixteen of them, that was a good start, right.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
A good start. You know.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
The other concern of the fast boats. You know what
Iran does is they'll send out literally hundreds of speed
boats to try to interfere with some of these cargo
ships and tankers, literally hundreds. And they're just small boats,
but it doesn't take much to cause a fire on
an oil tanker, right, And they're very hard to defend
against since they're so low to the water, they're difficult
(03:58):
to detect, and missiles aren't necessar are the best defense
for them. So it's a real and again they're doing
it sort of that the same type of theory the
way they used drones, right, just flood the zone with
hundreds of them and as long as one gets through,
that's all they need to make their point. Now, We've
seen reports this morning three ships being hit by some
sort of a projectile. Don't know exactly what it was,
(04:19):
but clearly, after the US took those operations against the
mind layers, I think the focus is shifting to these
kind of speedboats and the threat they post.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Meanwhile, at home, the sanctuary city policies face renewed scrutiny.
Ory will have that story coming up in the third hour,
so Roy Great Reporting will talk.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Then.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano was joining us. He had a
lot of fun at my expense. Yesterday. You're in Toronto.
There's an attack on the US consulate. I'm worried. I'm
texting you. I'm seeing the dot dot dot.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Why couldn't you just say yes, I'm fine.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yes, I'm fine.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Oh, thanks for the laps around the anxiety pool.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
How do we know when done is done?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
In Iran?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
And does it really matter how long it takes?
Speaker 6 (05:08):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
That seems to be the new anxiety in America, which
is the more generalized question, what has been accomplished, what's
left to be accomplished, and why is it important to
accomplish it?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Right? So, we have already won in Iran, and we
have we have so decimated the capabilities of the regime
that one thing is, look, they would they would never
try this again while Trump is in office, and if
they did, he would just smack him into the dust. Right. So,
(05:42):
so that's three years right there. And then even if
we left the Iranians alone and we let the Chinese
and the Russians command and rebuild them and took all
the saying, it would take them over half a decade
to rebuild all the cape abilities that they've lost them
in just a few months. So today as we speak,
(06:07):
Donald Trump, that's brought us at least a decade when
a run is not the significant threatened region. And don't forget,
when this is over, the Arabs countries and the region,
they're not going to just say, oh yeah, we're going
to go back and let run. They're going to build
collective security architecture and air defense and economic so that
(06:30):
so they can protect themselves against a future Iranian regime.
So if it's hostile. So the question isn't have we accomplished,
you know, protecting American interests in the region. That's already done.
The question now is how much more can you buy?
Can you buy a friendly regime. Can you buy a
(06:52):
regime that gives up all its materials and stuff? And
then that is the cost benefit question that is on
the President of the United States will decide when he decides.
I mean, he has a pretty comfortable margin for his
capacity to continue to do activities in the region, both
from geopolitical alliances that he has and from the military
(07:14):
capacity he has on the ground and the basing options
that the US has. So we know the game is
over when Donald Trump says the game's over.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
So how do we know when done is done? When
Donald says it's done. I get that, And I think
what you said is very powerful because I'm hearing that
whenever I hear the president talk. I think the president
is aware nothing is going to happen and can happen
while he's president. But I think he's concerned about future presidents.
He came right out and said it, I want to
take care of this problem in a way that future
(07:43):
presidents can't create it again, which I get.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
That's the good, better, and the best.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
So first, remove the threat, kick the can down the
road as far as you can. Secondarily, hope that people
rise up and create a new Iran and then thirdly
regime change and the case of the sun not going
to be much better, but new Ayatola if he remains. So,
you know, assessing where we're at right now, doesn't look
(08:10):
like there's going to be a rise of the people.
Does the president have much poland who the next diatola is?
Do we just keep playing whack a moolah until we
get one we can kind of live with?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Well, you know, I'm sure he has a lot of influence.
But again, you know, looking at occultly from US interests,
our interest is that Iran is not the chief destabilizing
challenge in the region. Uh, And that's the objective he's
going to focus on. Of course, he would love for
the people of Iran to have control of the country.
Of course he would like to have a friendly regime.
(08:43):
But you know that those are aspirational goals as opposed
to the non compromisable American interests that have to be
protected and remembered. And you know what they said, it
was one hundred and something casually as we have seven dead,
I mean, this is not this is not playing and
opoi here. I mean we have real lives at state,
real American dollars on the line real military capability, and
(09:06):
it's risky. I mean, I was in peacetime. People die
in the army just train. Military operations are dangerous, so
we just don't It's not a game, you know, And
the President has to make a serious call. And I
think he'll make that call at the point where he
feels he's gotten the most he can get. And but
this is very trumpion, right. Trump has a vision of
(09:28):
what he's looking for, and then he see the environment,
he moves in that direction, and then he decides when
you know, when you know what's not right, and the
you bet until you're absolutely sure American interests are protected.
And beyond that questions is what's reasonable to get as
opposed to you know, I'm going to throw everything to
(09:50):
the wind for the perfect I mean, this is a
problem with the bush Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It
wasn't just about lowering the threat devices and now Kada
and you know, taking out a regime that potential. You know, Okay,
now that we're here, we're just going to go for
the perfect end state and build countries that are the
land in milk and honey and American allies. And that
doesn't work. It never works. That's well, it might work,
(10:12):
but that's a very right reach goal that actually isn't
necessarily essential for the protection of American interest. So if
it's easy, sure, yeah, do that great, make Disneyland. But
if it's not, let me come on.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Something came up yesterday. I'd be interested to get your
take on James Carafinal joining US lieutenant colonel from Toronto.
So somebody brought up you know, what would happen if
we have to send in ground troops in order to
secure this uranium?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
And while you're.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Sending them in, why not just send them all the
way in the anticipation being I don't know what to
take over and literally create a new regime, or avoid
any troops on the ground, or make it cold, you know,
make it or this Israeli for US is if you
have to secure that enriched uranium, that seems to be
(11:05):
the next decision, big decision to be made.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Your thoughts on that, yeah, I mean these are comments
that made mostly get people who have very little experience
in actual military operations. First of all, the difference between
going in and securing a site and taking over a
country are pretty formidable. I mean, it's like ninety million people,
twice the size of Texas. So give me a break.
There's not enough just military in the world. There's not
(11:28):
a few as an Israeli military in the world to
conqueror around. To put that out of your head, my
guess is if there was a military operation to secure
these materials, it would have to be done in a
relatively permissive environment because, first of all, think about the
environmental challenge is you would face right, this is sixty
(11:49):
percent enrich uranium. This is not just picking up iron
or a throat in the back of a truck. That's
a lot of weight. That is not significant amount of stuff.
It could be buried. You have to secure it, logistically
move it. This is not like the rate to get Maduro.
This would have to be a relatively organized, you know,
(12:14):
organized operation security on the ground. It's not an in
and out right. It could be a month or more.
It's not a one day operation. So it would definitely,
I think, be something that would have to be done,
like I said, in relatively permissive environments. That either means
with the cooperation of the host country host country it's funny,
(12:36):
or or that you had you know, you had absolute
control of that territory and you could move in at
your leisure and set this up. And but this all
presumes that you know, we know where the material is,
we know that it's in recoverable condition, and all that.
You know, it is important to to secure that material,
there's no question about that. But but on the other hand,
(12:58):
nobody's building a bomb with that stuff anytime soon. I mean,
you still have to enrich it more. And for that
you need uh center of reges. That you don't have
your your scientists or dispersed, your dead, your missile systems
in the shambles, your tech base has been damaged. It's
not it won't be the And at the end of
(13:19):
the day, even if everything went perfect and you are magical,
what would you have You have eleven nuclear bombs, yeah,
against the rest of the world. I'm not too sure
that that's a game. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
No, And you and you let into my final question,
which was you don't have the advanced inrifugis, you don't
have the command structure, the scientists. Is it even worth
going in and getting I mean, as far as the uranium,
they would eventually get it from somebody else anyway, Again.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Right, well, you don't you don't leave a massive supply
of highly enriched uranium hanging out there. That's that's that's
not going to happen. But first they and then and
then you know, of course the presumption is is you
know the iranium is lying, right they said they had it,
they really have it? You know, we think they have
(14:08):
a supply. How much do we really know they have?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Remember just see that just narrative playing out once again.
We went in for weapons and mass destruction and could.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I don't want to realize. Yeah I'm not saying that,
but but but but this regime lies eventually. It's just
like terrorism and lying are part of their front policy.
So you can't trust about anything. So you know, that's
what the young io tootally. You know, the reporting is
that the guy's not even conscious, so and he doesn't
(14:36):
even know there's a war on and he doesn't even
know he's theotol totally. Yeah, I'm not sure vegetable cardboard
vegetable man is going to be.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I know I need to run because of the heartbreak,
but I know that we're different. You spent your life
in the military. I didn't. I spent my life supporting
the military. I get afraid you don't, but I am
deep down Italian. The next time I text you when
you're somewhere there's an attack, just say yes for crying
out loud the Italian Trump's military experience. Every time I
was worried about you, I must really love you. Jimmy,
(15:06):
get home safe for a change, all right, James, joining
us from Toronto this morning.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Del Trono.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah, I'm going to rather than make this about me,
I'll just play you the Secretary of War yesterday concerning
the new Ayatola, a new.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Leader of Iran, he would be wise to heed the
words of our president, which is to not pursue nuclear
weapons and come out and state as such.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
As far as his status.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
That's not something I can comment on right now.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Well, it would appear this morning that his status is
somewhat in question. We're just talking Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano.
Whether or not he knows he's the Ayatola, whether or
not he's conscious, is in question. I think there was
probably a pretty good reason why you heard the lieutenant
colonel kind of giggo when I said, are we just
going to play wakamula? Until we finally have one that
(16:07):
we think is acceptable and that could be in motion already.
We'll have more on that coming up. I have your
top five stories the day. The President's off to Kentucky today.
Why well visit with White House correspondent John Decker about that.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Next.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Hi, I'm actress Lisa Varga and my morning show is
your Morning Show with Michael Del Giorno.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
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 if you're just waking up the Pentagons.
As one hundred and forty service members have been wounded
since military operations in Iran began, eight of them severely,
(16:56):
and as already has been reported, seven have lost their
life their country. The US has destroyed at least sixteen
mind laying vessels in and around the Strait of Horne
moves as they're trying to secure that area so oil
can flow. The race to fill former Georgia Congress from
when Marjorie Taylor Green seat is projected to advance into
(17:18):
a runoff and the White House is again pushing hard
for Congress to pass the Save America Act. Way do
you hear Chucky Schumer and our Sounds of the day
coming up in about twenty five thirty minutes. It's amazing
what these arguments have evolved to. You can't stop these
(17:39):
illegals from voting. It's purging the votles of illegals that
never should have been there. And obviously Italy did not
get the message beating the USA. How did Italy beat
the USA and beat them eight to six? And now
we need Italy to beat Mexico or I don't even
think we're going to advance. I mean, we were all
(18:01):
waiting for the Japan Dominican Republic, USA Venezuela, you know,
final four, and now we're not.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Even going to be there. Get the spring training early.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
And somebody won the Mega the old days with a kid,
uh you.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Know who do we got in center? Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Demaggio is playing? Okay, what were some of the great
Italian names in baseball? Joe Peptone would be a you
know I said, you know, yeah, that's as good as
it gets. I guess, uh winning the mega millions ticket.
We don't know who it was. We just know they
(18:44):
were in Illinois and it was about a half a
billion dollars. Meanwhile, the president's traveling to Kentucky today, not
just Kentucky, at Kentucky and Ohio, I believe, to the
White House. We go in our White House correspondent, John Decker,
I would assume discussing afforded and I guess preparing the
soil here.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Man, what do you have? Nothing?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
I got nothing?
Speaker 6 (19:07):
Well, I got my talkbacks back. Well, John Decker did
just log in just as we speak. Oh, okay, hey,
hello to John. Stop bringing your uncertainty into my certain life.
Hey there, good morning, Good morning John. Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
So, the President's headed to Ohio and to Kentucky. I
presume this is cultivating the soil for the midterm affordability narrative.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
But what else might be on the docket.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
Well, I would not be surprised if the President utters
two words during this trip.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Those two words Thomas Massey.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
He is going to Thomas Massy's congressional district. And as
you know, the President is not a big fan of
the Republican congressman from Kentucky. The President has endorsed his
opponent in the Republican primary, and I would certainly imagine
the President will bring that up during this trip.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I'm trying to I can't remember why am I blank
on the name of the guy in tech sis patch Oversie?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Help me? Oh? Crenshaw. Yeah, he's gont to Crenshaw is
what he's going to do?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Right where decor go? I'm right here? Oh yes, I
was saying, given the old Crenshaw treatment and get involved
in that any comment. You know, it seems like the
narratives ahead of the actual reality, let alone leadership. But
there's this ground swell of conversation about troops on the ground,
(20:34):
and Blumenthal is starting to with with all of that.
We know we have a lot of enriched geranium that
has to be retrieved. Has there been any talk about
revealing how that would would play out, because that would
that would be something that would take quite a bit
of time.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
I would think it would.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
Take a lot of time, absolutely, And the President has
already spoken about this military conflict lasting just a number
of weeks. That would certainly I think extend the timeline
for the president if that becomes a critical part of
his objectives or goals regarding this conflict. Now, the President
(21:13):
has indicated that it could be less than that. He
said that earlier this week on Monday, he said, a
lot of the goals have already been achieved by the
US military along with the Israeli military going after a run.
But you know, there are a lot of unknowns associated
with this conflict, and I think you're getting a little
bit of a pushback from some Republicans who don't want
(21:33):
to see this to be a quagmire like something that
took place during the Iraq War during the two thousands.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah, because once you get him on the ground, sometimes
they don't come out so quick. This would be a
very specific, tailored message. But in order to pull it off,
you're going through a lot of unsecured areas. Meanwhile, we
get the word of sixteen mind laying vessels that were
taken out, but that would suggest anywhere from eight to
ten more to still find. And how long before we
can reasonably expect the straight of hormonves to be secured.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
Well, that's a question that you have to ask the
oil companies because they make that decision. They make that
decision as to whether to risk that precious cargo, that
valuable cargo going through the straight of hot hormves and
right now they don't want to take that risk, despite
you know, the President offering up insurance through the federal government,
despite saying that possibly it hasn't happened yet, but possibly
(22:27):
there could be naval escorts of those cargo ships. We
have not seen any oil flow through the Strait of
Hormuz since this war began back on February the twenty eighth.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
All right, so one, you could take out these mines
as they're laying them, and then take out the vessels
that are laying them. That's a good start. Most of
the Navy's been taken care of. The problem is Revolutionary
Guards seems to have an ability to put these in there.
The insurance companies are spooked, so you know, you talk
about the vessels have to take the risk, but they're
(23:00):
not going to take the risk without the insurance. So
the president does the work around. All I will ensure you,
or will get the military expert. That's probably a combination
of that has got to be the next step. Well,
we'll see you again.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
You know, if you're the CEO of a major oil company,
You're right now not wanting to take that risk at all.
You'd rather find another method to get your oil out
of the Middle East. And so in the meantime, we
also know that the level of military attacks by the
(23:35):
US military, according to Pete Hegseth, we learned this yesterday,
has only increased in the last twenty four hours. That's
something that gives you a sentence about where this conflict
is and when potentially it could end.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
And questions about the new Wyatolin. Was he injured in
the original attack? Is he even conscious? The hits just
keep coming?
Speaker 1 (23:57):
All right?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
White House Briefing Room is the name of the PODCAS cast.
John Decker is your host of the White House Briefing
Wan to be up by nine Eastern eighth Central. Encourage
everyone to find it on your iHeart app, give it
a preset and listen to it every day. He'll go
in depth on that and more, and we'll talk to
you again tomorrow. John, Thank you so much. All right,
if you're just waking up, these are your top five
stories of the day to keep an eye on. President
(24:20):
Trump says he's aware of the US government is alerting
law enforcement. Iran may be activating sleeper sells. Mark Mayfield
has that story.
Speaker 8 (24:29):
Speaking in Florida, Trump said Democrats are the biggest obstacle
right now to investigating these threats.
Speaker 9 (24:34):
One of the things we have to do is get
the Democrats to stop. The Democrats shutdown because, as you know,
the apparatus that looks into that humor, and the Democrats
have shut it down, which shows you they probably hate
our country a lot. But the Democrats have to open
that up.
Speaker 8 (24:48):
The Democrats have withheld funding for the Department of Homeland
Security until there are reforms to ice.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
The federal government.
Speaker 8 (24:54):
Alert says it intercepted encryptive communications believed to have originated
in Iran that may serve an operational trigger for sweeper
assets outside the country. The alerg sency transmission appear to
be destined for clandestine recipients who have the encryption key.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I'm Marknefield.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Senator Richard Blumenthal trying to stir up a little trouble.
He believes the US is on a path is sending
in ground troops to Ron that equals, of course, endless war.
Speaker 10 (25:18):
Jim Roop reports the Connecticut Democrat made the remarks after
attending Tuesday's Senate Armed Services Committee briefing, he told reporters
he was as dissatisfied and angry as he has been
from any past briefing in his fifteen years in the Senate.
Bloomenthal added he left the briefing with more questions than answers,
especially about the cost of the war. President Trump has
not ruled out deploying ground troops in Iran.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
I'm Jim Roup and everybody at home keeping an eye
on the pump.
Speaker 11 (25:45):
Triple A reports a national average for a gallon of
regular guests jumped over night two three dollars and fifty
seven cents a gallon. A week ago, the national average
was at three dollars in nineteen cents. Flashed back to
a month ago, and we were at two dollars.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Ninety three.
Speaker 11 (25:59):
Drivers in California are feeling the most paint at the pump,
with the statewide average at five dollars and thirty three
cents a gallen. I'm Tammy Trahio.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Of course Tim doesn't mention about the pump two years
ago or one year ago.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Isn't that convenient? As church lady would say, give.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Me fuel, give me fo give me that Metallica says
they're hoping to add more shows that Las Vegas is
sar in the future. A social media post the Rock
and Roll Hall of Famers thank fans for selling out
all twenty four.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
You know, we may have to go to a concert there.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
That must be quite.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
The experience that no matter what's there now, I would
expect Metallica too, but I mean everything sells out there
and they may even add more shows. It is the
first twenty four shows of their Life Burns Faster residency
that have sold out almost immediately. Metallica will kick off
the Spear Residency in October and the shows are scheduled
(26:58):
to go through March of next year. Speaking of March,
March's Problem Gambling Awareness Month, isn't that interesting? It falls
right during March Madness, you bet due to the high
numbers of fans gambling on college basketball in the tournament.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Monica Nelson reports.
Speaker 12 (27:12):
Well will Lapps making it more accessible. Gretaco with the
Oregon Health Authority says most problem gamblers are between the
ages of thirty five and fifty five, and there will
be signs there could.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Be some financial strain. You could see changes.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
In relationships or relationship challenges, some people may pull away
from relationships with their spouses or their friends and family.
Speaker 12 (27:36):
If you or someone you know needs a free, confidential,
twenty four hour helpline, call one eight hundred. Gambler on
Monica Nelson pull away from relationships.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
I would pull away from a relationship with her even
if I wasn't gambling these voices today. Hey, at baseball?
What happened Mike Pizons from Italy? They had a little
fun John on the jerseys. You can see a little
spaghetti to meat his loss keens and the jersey. But
they still came out and beat USA eight to six.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
How did that happen?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
I certainly wasn't expecting to wake up to that. For USA,
they're now three to one and likely need Italy to
beat Mexico in order to advance. Lots of hockey. Red
Wings lost four to three to the Panthers. Preds beat
the crack In four to two. Blues lost four to
three in overtime to get a point against the Islanders.
Lightning lost five two to the Blue Jackets. Kings lost
two to one in overtime to the Bruins. Sabers won
(28:32):
six to three over the Sharks. Penguins lost five four
in a shootout to the Canes, and the Ducks over
the Jets.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Four to one on hardwood.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Grizz fell to the seventy six Ers one thirty nine,
one twenty nine. Pistons blew out the Nets one thirty eight.
One hundred Sons beat the Bucks one twenty nine, one
to fourteen. Blazers lost by a bucket to the Hornets.
Kings over the Pacers one fourteen one oh nine. Lakers
beat the Tea Wolves one twenty to one oh six.
Birthdays today, Rupert Murdoch of the Fox Empire is ninety
(29:02):
five years old. Today Empire star Terrence Howard actor fifty
seven years old. And don't worry, Bobby McFerrin, be happy.
You're seventy six years old today. And if it's your birthday,
happy birthday. So glad you were born. Thank you so
much for sharing part of your big day with us
at your morning show. Happy birthday, all right. My little
(29:23):
boy's going to turn eight. My dog, Bloomer Baker Mayfield.
I had noticed these rashes on his stomach and allergy
issues breath that would kill a small child. As I
would say, some achiness in the joints and just sleeping
a lot more. And I chalked it up to age.
But then I got my exactly what I'm offering you today,
(29:45):
absolutely free Jumpstart trial bag of rough Greens, and I
started sprinkling it on the same dry food he eats
every morning and sprinkling it on the same wet food
eats every afternoon.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
And it's changed my dog's life.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Allergies gone bad, breath gone, aches gone, sleeping more gone.
He's just becomes so vibrant, poppy like.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Now.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
The science of it is he's getting the live, bioavailable
nutrients that may have been baked out in that drive food,
including essential vitamins, minerals, probiotics, digestive enzymes, and mago oils,
and they work together so it improves nutrient absorption, helps
maintain healthy muscle and joints, enhances overall vitality, and does
lengthen life. I don't just speak for rough Greens. I
(30:37):
rely on it for the dog I love. So don't
change your dog's food. Just do what I did and
get your free Jumpstart trial bag and add rough greens.
You have nothing to lose and your dog has everything
to gain. You'll see the results. Now the trial jumpstart trialback.
(30:59):
It's absolute free. You just cover the shipping. But here's
how you get it rolling. Go to Roughgreens dot com
r u f F Roughgreens dot com. Enter the promo
code yams. That's promo code yams at rough Greens dot com.
So good, your dogs will ask for it by name Rough.
I do I keep forgetting to record that. I'll do
it to.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
I'll do it to.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
It's your Morning show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
Hey, Michael, I heard the Guyan team had an expresso
machine in the dugout.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
They're all hopped up on that caffeine.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
That's how.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Corvy Italy upset the US.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
We were going, we were saying, like, who was playing
for Italy last night that they beat Team USA? What
they have Mike Piazza behind the plate, thinking Gozo beads,
Phil Rizzuto, a great Italian name, Tony Conigliari. Tony Conigliori
was a great atal named Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Tommy Lasorda.
But I I don't know how Italy found its way
(31:59):
to victory. Now we need Italy to win. You better
root for him tonight against Mexico or USA may not
get a show down with Japan or Dominican Republic or Venezuela.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
We may not even make it to the quarters.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
All right, one on one time at fifty five minutes
after the hour earlier this morning and shame was plugged
for the podcast in the first hour. If you want
to listen to podcast later. We really broke this down,
this notion of the Democrats being viewed less favorably than
the GOP, which is relevant to a midterm election. But
forget that they're rated lower than Trump. They're rated lower
(32:34):
than Ice, which they have made the battleground issue. The
Democrat Party's net favorability rating is thirty percent at minus
twenty two, so they're at thirty percent very positive, somewhat positive.
That would suggest a good portion of Democrat Party isn't
(32:56):
happy with the Democrat Party while had a very negative
or somewhat negative view of them. They're twenty two points underwater.
Donald Trump was only minus twelve. The Republican Party is
minus fourteen. There's a discuss with both parties. Ice was
minus eighteen. In fact, the only thing that tested worse
(33:19):
than the Democrat Party was Iran at minus fifty three.
The party Democrats want and the party Democrats have. New
Hampshire Institute polling study goes with this, will the powers
(33:43):
that be in the Democrat Party allow it to be
a normal party? The forces that rule the left make
that very unlikely. What does this mean? California Governor Gavin
Newsom suggested during a recency in an appearance that to
win again, Democrats need to become more culturally normal. They're
(34:03):
right now in the abbe normal jar. In response to
this obvious point, far left commentators accused Nussom of betraying
his party's values and ceding the moral ground to the right.
The backlash was predictable. The Manhattan Institute survey of voters
(34:24):
in twenty twenty four offer a similar look. The Democrats
base is not a caricature coalition of socialist revolutionaries and
woke militants. The activists are there, but they are in
the minority.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Now.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
The problem is thirty eight percent said their party should
move towards an idle ideological center. The problem is when
you put the fifteen percent of Islamis with the forty
percent of socialists, that is a majority. So the radical
left within the party is taking the party too far
left to be of any real influence again, could this
(35:04):
be signs of the two party system collapsing and the
first to fall potentially the Democrat Party, if it hasn't
fallen already.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael ndel Jorno.
