Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard
live five to eight AM Central, six to nine Eastern
and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio, or Columbus, Georgia.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
and we're grateful you're here.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Now. Enjoy the podcast starting your morning off right. A
new way of talk, a new way of understanding, because
we're in this together.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Dell Chord.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Well. I didn't win the Mega millions lottery, but then again,
I didn't buy a lottery ticket, so how could I
expect to win? But I did get wordl in three,
and I did get an hour and twenty minutes of
our AM and an hour and ten minutes of deep sleep.
It's still dark outside. I'm wearing sunglasses, and I got
a half a cup of Wolfe and I haven't sung
(00:49):
yet today. There you're all caught up seven minutes after
the hour? Do I dare even try this? Can't have
your morning show without your voice? Isn't a time talk
radio became a conversation again, only if technology cooperates.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I was trying to go to David and Tulsa throwing
a cheap plug to Ron's hamburgers. But I was so
rudely interrupted. Let's go to David in Tulsa. Good morning.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
This is David from Tulsa.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
My sister used to have a book bag with a.
Speaker 6 (01:18):
Groucho Marx quote said, outside of a dog, a book
is a man's best friend.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read. My
favorite Groucho was he was doing The Tonight Show with
Johnny Carson and this young girl comes on and he goes, well,
what's your name? And she goes somewhere and he goes, oh,
you have two names, and and then Johnny kind of
(01:45):
chimes in, say the secret word, and he'll h or
say the secret word, and and groutcher will I can't
remember how he said it, say the secret word in
Rauchi groutch I'll show you his bedroom or something. And
Croucho's immediate response was, Oh, I see, my dress room
isn't good enough for her. But the one liners we
were talking about it was phenomenal funny heroes and Harpo
(02:06):
Marx came up and that got us into grout show.
So that's why trust me. When David responded it was
in context Youngstown, Ohio. I believe is next. Which one
is that I don't know. You said he didn't have
a name, just Youngstown.
Speaker 7 (02:20):
This guy, hey, Michael, I heard the tale in team
had an expresso machine in the dugout.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
They're all hopped up on that caffeine. That's how they
Actually I do remember him, and then Jim was the
last one we didn't get to before.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
I think Trump needs to call a national emergency, televised
address to the nation like JFK did during a Cuban
missile crisis, and till the folks call your congressman, we
need to Save Act, call out the Democrats for the
fraud that they were trying to do and canceling out
your vote.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
We need to pass the Save Act.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
And this is a national emergency, or else we seesed
to be a republic.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
He needs to go on the airwaves. Now we have
different instincts. I think you know what the President has
said has been effective and has been heard. The presumption
is that we're divided in half. The country doesn't want
this and half does. I don't think that's the case.
(03:21):
Some things may have to wait till after the midterm
for America to decide how they want this country to
be accountable and run. But I would think, no, I
think he needs to get on Joe Rogan would be
my instinct, or find effective ways to reach people. I
don't know, it's not we don't live in the day
(03:42):
where we're all having shared experience and nine out of
ten of us are going to be watching the evening
news tonight or primetime network television. America is everywhere. They're
on video games, podcasts, streaming sports, streaming TV obsessively gammed.
I mean, you know, it's not that easy anymore, and
(04:03):
sometimes even the truth is hard to get out. But
we do know from track record that his campaign was
very effective using social media, very effective using podcasting, I e.
Joe Rogan. I mean, if I think the president needs
to be on with Joe Rogan, Megan, Kelly Dan Bongino
(04:27):
would probably be more effective than if he made an
address in prime time, and he certainly addressed it in
the State of the Union. So but as you're going
to see in the sounds of the day, there are
some revealing things about why the Democrats are standing against
this that I think could be made more clearly and
painful conquest.
Speaker 8 (04:48):
It's the best way to get back on your page
is to get up off.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Your eye on the living restory in that guy's head
for years. And that's just a hle that chicken at
they're just blowing off. Steve. So yesterday the news conference
which took place with like the last fifteen minutes of
our show, and basically a Secretary of War Heack Seth,
lays out we've had about one hundred and forty troops
wounded moors dangerous Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano was on with
(05:13):
us earlier. I think it was read was that you yesterday?
You know, we talk about perspective and context being everything.
I'm thinking of Tammy Trhio right now because I'm still
hopping mad. What a ridiculous news report that was. What
a biased piece of garbage that news report was. To
(05:38):
give you the gasoline price today versus a week ago,
versus four weeks ago, but never bring up what the
gas price was in a previous administration, that the gas
would go above five point fifty a gallon for a
Russian conflict with you, and it's sitting at three point
(06:02):
fifty right now, with the strait of horror moves littered
with mines. I mean, it's just just bias garbage. But
context is everything. And what James Carafana was saying and
what Red was saying yesterday, people die in the military
(06:28):
doing practice training. It's dangerous work that our men and
women do. It's dangerous when they're training. It's certainly dangerous
when it's not training, and it's active war. So he
laid out one hundred and forty that have been wounded.
Eight Seriously, these are people that were at different bases
(06:50):
outside of the operation and the attacks. This is exactly
why Donald Trump got involved when bb Netanyau who said
we're going, well you go, you're gonna stir the next
and some of those hornets are gonna come our way.
So if you're gonna go, we're gonna go with you
so that we can protect our interests and our bases.
(07:13):
That's sorry, nobody brings this up out loud, but you
want to because there could come a point where Israel
keeps going and the US stops. We're involved with Israel
because we're the target along with Israel, because we stand
by our ally Israel. For a good portion of America,
(07:36):
we still see what's right in the Middle East worth
standing by, not the evil that is targeting us, like
part of one of the two parties. But once we've
secured our objectives could be secured and complete before Israel's
don't know if it will be, but time will tell.
(08:01):
But context is everything. Somebody's got to go get this
enrich geranium, and they're already trying to set the narrative
forever war. Now boots on the ground, they'll never leave.
That creates military challenges and political challenges. And sometimes the
(08:22):
political challenges are created by opposing media and opposing political parties.
But how is that compared to doing nothing. I'll get
to that later in the sounds of the day, so
you know at some point the degree of this operation
(08:47):
and what it's stirred. I don't like eight being severely
wounded at all. I don't like seven being dead, But
put that into con text with the lives that are
lost every day in training, it's really quite what they've
accomplished is quite remarkable, and it's just that every one
(09:10):
of those lives matters so much. Sound it seems like
a lot, but it's really quite remarkable. Then came up
the new Ayatola. Here's Pete Hexseeth.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
The new 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.
As far as his status, that's not something.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I can comment on right now. He can't comment on
right now. Look, I always bring up that scene in
Valkyrie the movie, because that's kind of what happened using
Russian intelligence. The go was given when they in hubris
and assumption thought we would never attack in daytime. So
(09:54):
they had a meeting and a lot of their people
were there. That's why so many were taken out. Also
in that room, whom was the Iyahtola's son. So he's
injured and to what extent we don't know. It's not
like he's going to speak his head out the window
and risk getting killed. But we don't even know if
he's conscious. We don't even know if he knows who
(10:15):
he is or that he's the Ayahtola. I got a
sense from that, oh, Pete Hagseth did, and you'd like
to see the president. On National TV, Caroline Levitt, of course,
was reporting the media may not like you hearing this,
but here's what she had to say. About the Save
America Act.
Speaker 8 (10:35):
On another matter here at home, President Trump is urging
Congress to pass the Save America Act, one of the
most critical pieces of legislation in our nation's history. The
Save America Act is overwhelmingly popular with all Americans because
each provision is rooted in common sense. The Save America
Act has five simple requirements, as requested by the President
(10:58):
of the United States. Number one, voters have to show
id to cast a ballot in an American election. Very simple.
Ninety percent of Americans, including more than eighty percent of
Democrat voters, agree with this. Number two, the Save America
Act will require all voters to show proof of citizenship
in order to register to vote in American elections. Again,
(11:22):
this is popular and rooted in common sense. Only American
citizens have the right to vote in American elections. But
after Joe Biden and the Democrats allowed tens of millions
of illegal aliens into our country, it's more important than
ever to ensure that only American citizens are registering to
vote in our on our nation's voter roles in Congress
(11:42):
needs to pass this.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
And these are not new revelations. By the way, this
has been going on my entire life. Why have we
got nowhere on the border is Democrats like the cheap
votes and Republicans like the cheap labor for their big companies.
That's the bottom line truth. But we all know they've
(12:07):
been voting illegally. And that kind of came up in
a Chucky Schumer news conference. Watch him play I don't know,
watch him wrestle with his own thoughts out loud.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
About voter registration. It makes it.
Speaker 9 (12:22):
It allows ICE to kick tens of millions of people
off the roles.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Well, first of all, they would only be off the
rolls if they were not US citizens, which is the law.
Non US citizens are not legally allowed to vote. Did
Chucky Schumer just admit to there are tens of millions
of illegals voting? Maybe that's how you could hide an
(12:55):
old man in the basement and still win voter registration.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
It makes it.
Speaker 9 (13:01):
It allows ICE to kick tens of billions of people
off the rolls, off the rolls, and they don't tell
them until election day and you show up and you
say you're not registered anymore, you're not registered here, you're
not on the rolls, And they say, I didn't know that.
This is a bill that destroys the country. And it
(13:23):
is not about showing id when you show up to vote.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
It's about the voter registration.
Speaker 9 (13:28):
Rolls, destroying them, purging them, not letting people know, and
taking the rights in a algorithm put together by Ice
are put together by Doge and Musk.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
It's an outrage and that's why so many people don't
want to pass it.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I mean, I guess back to our caller, I go
perhaps at some point refusing to address this will lead
to the ultimate solution. The American people addressing this in
the midterm election. Remember the three three legs to our table.
(14:10):
Today they test way below Republicans, Democrats test way below
Donald Trump, and way below Ice. They're dying on a hill.
They already died of.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
People who majored in online activism with a minor and
puberty box.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
They're any of you in the media clearly missed.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
The art of the deals it's going to work out.
Let me paint a picture for you. Imagine it's midnight,
you're in bed, your kids are in their room in bed,
and you hear sirens blaring. You've literally got six seconds,
some say fifteen seconds to grab your children and get
(14:59):
to a bomb shelter. Now imagine your elderly and your
legs don't work like they used to, and getting downstairs
feels impossible. And after all that, you end up in
a bomb shelter for hours, sometimes even days, because you
know I couldn't make it back. This is what's happening
every day in Israel as Operation Epic Theory continues. Children
(15:21):
are being traumatized, families are exhausted, homes have been destroyed,
and on the ground, the International Fellowship of Christians and
Jews is there, bringing food, emergency equipment, care for children,
help for the elderly, supplying bomb shelters, medical centers, and
critical needed essentials in these areas. If you've ever wondered
(15:44):
what it looks like to stand for Israel, to stand
for good against evil, this is it. Now. You can
tell anybody, oh, I support Israel, or I'm against the terrorists,
or you can take an action. If you give forty
five dollars right now, you'll be rushing life saving essentials
to the vulnerable underfire. This is not a TV event
(16:06):
in Israel. This is reality. Call eight eight eight four
eight eight IFCJ that's eight eight eight four eight eight
IFCJ give forty five dollars right now to stand with Israel.
You can also give securely online at IFCJ dot org.
That's IFCJ dot org. Hey, I'm Olympic gold medalist Scott

Stephen writes, like, our old friend Phil Valentine was a
(17:38):
local afternoon host here in Nashville the station I was at.
He also was syndicated in some markets. Terrific, terrific human
being and talent. And he goes like our late friend
Phil Valentine used to say, media isn't just always what
they're telling you. More often it's what they're not telling you. Well.
Biases the things you cover, the things you don't. The
(17:59):
angle should choose, the angles you don't. The facts you choose,
the facts you ignore, the people you talk to, the
people you don't, the quotes you use, the quotes you don't.
Bias has always existed, But let me let me give
you an example of one. There's a lot to talk
about in terms of gas. One thing you could talk
(18:19):
about is what's a greater threat Shia she hottest Islamist
terrorists or gas spiking. For a week or two now,
the left will play this up like the greatest danger
(18:41):
is a war that's gonna last forever. Well, there's no
signs of that, or gas that's gonna tank all of
our lives. Now, the reality is the President made one
statement and their entire narrative came crashing down. I can't
(19:07):
help you if you don't know truth from narrative. You
have to spend a life thirsting for the truth, pursuing
the truth, knowing the truth, and then you've spend very
little time on lies. But if you don't have the
ability to discern, and you don't know what the truth is,
(19:27):
lies can be confusing. And the game they play stories
you cover, stories you don't. So they're all in on
the narrative. Gas prices are soaring, the market is tanking.
What is the president doing? First tariffs, now back to
endless wars. He's breaking all of his promises. He's going
(19:51):
to destroy the economy. Then the President says, we're ahead
of our objectives and it won't be long, and oil
goes from one hundred and twenty nine dollars a barrel
right back down to eighty eight. That's the real story.
It was an exaggeration and a lie the first time,
(20:16):
and it's already been disproved, and when it's disproved in
such a remarkably short period of time, it's really hard
to miss. Now, the truth is, even when it was up,
it was way below what it was in the previous administration.
(20:36):
So my question is who was doing stories about what
a reckless, incompetent President Joe Biden was because we were
paying five point fifty eight gallons? Now he left himself
open to the President's a campaign on like the border drill,
baby drill? What news media was holding him accountable? The
(20:59):
truth of the matter is, if you would have asked
me even before, well, you know, a ron's the biggest
threat to the region and the world, the most predictable threat,
and they cannot be allowed means, So, if you're going
to go in and you're going to take out any
of their nuclear ambitions or materials, what's that going to
(21:20):
do to gas prices? And I'd say, well, they're going
to go up temporarily, with no question how high. I
don't know, maybe a dollar or two. And if you'd
have asked me the same question, all right, Russia just
invaded Ukraine. Now there's a war between Russia and Ukraine.
What do you think gas is going to do and
I would have said nothing. Do you know what the
(21:44):
reality was? Gas was higher after Russia invaded Ukraine in
the previous administration. Then it ever even got for an hour,
let alone a day, and by a mile, I might add.
So I don't know what Tammy Tree Hiel was doing
when gas was at five dollars and fifty cents, But
(22:05):
I don't recall any stories now. Her story today.
Speaker 10 (22:07):
Was TRIPAA reports a national average for a gallon of
regular gas jumped over night two three dollars and fifty
seven cents a gallon. A week ago, the national average
was at three dollars and nineteen cents. Flashback to a
month ago, and we were at two dollars ninety three.
Drivers in California are feeling the most.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
But let's stop right there. God forbid, we say what
gas was a year ago, two years ago, three years ago.
And she's not the only one, you know. I always say,
narratives always die of reality. Cause of death is always
truth or reality. And then sometimes there's well I see
(22:49):
dead people and they don't know they're dead. They keep lying.
But yeah, you caught that to Steve. Thanks for that.
This came from Rick. Morning, Michael, How could you forget
the greatest catcher of all time, Yogi Berra. Well we
I don't know what I mean. When my first Italy
(23:11):
beat the United States in the World Baseball Classic, I
don't even know how that happened. I've never woken up
to more shocking news. And now we needed to lead
to beat Mexico or I don't even think we're gonna
get to it. We're never gonna get to see how
we do against I would think Japan is the cream
of the crop, but Dominican Republic, Venezuela, some other teams.
(23:33):
You know, I just assumed we'd be there. Now we
have to back door in. I said, who the heck
was playing for Italy? And then I bought Tony Kniglierio,
Joe Diamaggio, and then we expanded our greatest Italian names
in baseball to Mike Biazza, Phil Rizzuto, Yogi Berra, Tommy
la Zorna. So yeah, we got him, We got Yogi
and eventually I'm sorry this a while to brainstorm the names. Uh,
(23:57):
Good morning, Michael. I used to love James Carvell and
his wife Mary Madeline was madline, right, Madeleine Mary Madeleine
might have been somebody else. She worked for Bush forty one,
and the two of these married people met in politics.
She was a hairdresser before she went into politics. She
(24:17):
used to be the one to tell him to be quiet.
I haven't heard from her in about ten years. Maybe
we need to check on her. Well, something's not I mean, listen,
I got news for you. If I was this man's wife,
I forget politics. But if my husband, at an elderly age,
(24:44):
got on a podcast and said these things.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
Looking fact Trump, if you listen to this, you listen good,
because what I'm getting ready to say is what a
lot of people in this country speak for. Who I
speak for and I speak for a lot of people.
You have a use facto.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
This is what we believe. You're right. I got Trump
derangement syndrome.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
I hate them, and you know what, I don't want
to get rid of it.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I don't want to get better. I want to get worse.
I want to hate anymore.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
I pray to God in heaven, God reign the righteous
reign of Trump derangement syndrome.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Me. Pray for me.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
Lord, I'm your vessel on this earth. Pray for the
people that listen to this, we want more. We want
to hate this so much that we can't see straight.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Praying to a creator who made you and Donald Trump
in his image, loved you and Donald Trump so much
he sent his only begotten son. You're talking to a
god of love to give you more hate for your neighbor,
(25:55):
when the greatest command is to love the Lord, your God,
and love your neighbor as your This is sick stuff.
I don't know what. If I was his wife, I
would send him to counseling, a priest, or the hospital
for an MRI. But I can tell you this, this
level of anger and hatred is unattractive. I don't I
(26:18):
wouldn't surround myself with people like this in real life,
let alone political life. But what's most dangerous is what
that's translated to and sounds a day I'm playing you
clips of Chucky Schumer. These people are playing such a
(26:39):
political game of hate they won't even fund homeland security
at a time you need it more than ever. And
I don't just mean tsa while people are traveling for
spring break, you're about to have sleeper cells. I pray
it doesn't happen. I believe God protected us from whatever
(27:00):
too radical islamis meant to harm many by the Mayor's
mansion in New York City. But and I pray he
thwarts any terror attacks that are attempted. But if we
wake up one day and we see something unspeakable, and
we see hundreds or thousands dead, I hope you look
back at Congress two weeks prior. Wouldn't fund homeland security
(27:25):
at a time of such vulnerability. That's not opposition party.
That's dysfunction obstruction. It's psychotic, it's moronic. Let alone the
(27:47):
clip I play with Chucky Schumer. Well, of course we
don't want to pass the Save America Act. Not that
nine out of ten Americans don't support. Show your freaking ID.
You can't get on the plane today without showing your idea.
Show you're d before you vote. I lived in a
city where the mayor of my city apparently voted in
Oklahoma and Florida in the same election. I think we've
(28:10):
got a fraud problem. I want to make sure dead
people are off the rolls. If illegals got on the rolls,
that they get off the rolls. He's saying, you're trying
to purge twenty thousand votes. You're taking aways people's right
to vote. They didn't have the right. And if anything,
you're confessing the tens of twenties of millions of people
(28:32):
have been illegally voting, and you're even losing their votes.
Your party's so crazy and stupid. But at some point
when you look around and go, are you kidding me?
You're not going to find homeland security and we got
sleep We've got real intelligence chatter saying that sleeper cells
(28:53):
are within the country that the previous administration let just
waltz in and they're getting ready to activate sleeper cells,
and we have no protection for the American people. You're
allowing illegal voters to vote, and now it's an obstruction
(29:18):
to stop it. How do you get there? I mean,
I know Congress is worthless. They're not representing us, a
representing themselves, their own power, their own preservation, their own
(29:39):
parties that we're disgusted with. Don't forget our poll of
the day only Iran tests worse than the Democrat Party,
and though the Republican Party tests higher than the Democrat Party,
and Trump tests higher than the Democrat Party, and Ice
tested higher than the Democrat Party. Neither worth writing home about.
(30:02):
But you want to know how they get this ineffective
and do things this stupid and in dere election of duty.
Look you this kind of stuff in their hearts.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
And good because what I'm getting ready to say is
what a lot of people in this country speak for?
Speaker 5 (30:19):
Who I speak for?
Speaker 2 (30:20):
How would you like to walk around with that in
your heart and on your mind? Sick you walk around
with that much animosity, hate and bitterness, you'll I would
think he'll die of it. But I know it's killing
our country. Whether it's a spam, called, a scam text,
(30:45):
a sketchy email with your name on it, they all
start the same way. Somebody found you. They have your
phone number, they have your email address, they have your
home address, your work address, they have your age, your
family member's names, and now it's searchable to everybody and
sellable to everybody. They don't need to be hackers or pros.
(31:10):
They see Google in five minutes. Because every scam starts
with one thing, your personal information available to the wrong person.
And if you think you can fight it with spam
filters and call blockers, come on, you need to disappear.
And that's when incognate does it makes you disappear. I'm
(31:32):
not a spokesperson for a guy I use Incogny. I rely.
I depend on Incogny to protect me and my entire family,
and you should too. They took me off of three
hundred and fifty eight data broker sites in the first
forty eight hours. And these things impact your insurance rate.
They impact whether when you're looking for a room it's available,
(31:53):
or what you pay versus other people pay. But they
can't classify you, they can't scam and they can't spam you.
If they can't find you, time to disappear. And it's

morning show with Michael del Johno. I can't believe it's Wednesday,
March the eleventh, twenty twenty six. Already we were almost
(32:36):
a quarter into this new year, and I was just
singing White Christmas. Pentagon says one hundred and forty US
service members have been wounded since US military operations in
Iran began, eight of them serious, and of course we've
had seven deaths. The race to fill former Georgia Congressman
Marjorie Taylor Green's seat is projected to advance to a
(32:57):
runoff election. One of them is crap. The House says
President Trump will be traveling to Ohio and Kentucky today.
A mega millions ticket was sold in Illinois. We don't
know who won, but somebody got nearly a half a
billion dollars and the USA shocked and lost to Italy.
Now needs Italy to beat Mexico to stay alive in
(33:19):
the World Baseball Classic. And as I mentioned moments ago,
sanctuary city policies facing renewed scrutiny as lawmakers debate immigration
enforcement and public safety, and of course, funding homeland security
at a time of sleeper cell threat. Roy O'Neil's following
all these top stories. Good morning, Rory, yeh Michael Laws.
Senator Lindsey Graham has a bill. He held a hearing
(33:40):
on it yesterday in the Budget Committee. His proposal is
to make it a crime for any local official to
release a migrant if they received a request from the
Feds to keep a hold on that immigrant, so it
would be a crime for the local official. Keep in mind,
the Justice Department said they've got about two hundred cities
(34:01):
across the country that have sanctuary policies, covering about twelve
states in all. And I understand they're practical, like, of
course you deport the person or hold them, but there
are some constitutional questions there when it comes to having
the federal government tell city or a state what to do.
(34:22):
The problem is, is it a state offense or a
federal offense when you come into the country illegally, And
then usually they don't end up in the system unless
they've not come back or shown up to court if
they've overstayed their visa, or they've committed some other crime.
After that is a state issue. And then of course
(34:43):
we all know what the real problem is. It's easier
for them to do their job and pick them up
at the jail rather than have to do operations in
these sanctuary cities where local law enforcement won't cooperate. And
that's how we ended up with two radical protesters ending
up dead. I don't know what was the what was
the what was the tone yesterday as to where this
(35:05):
might be headed. It was pretty fiery from time to time.
Speaker 7 (35:09):
A lot of those lawmakers trying to get on their
respective networks last night.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
But you know, which is the biggest problem.
Speaker 7 (35:17):
Right But I've also heard from mayors and governors complaining like, hey, Ice,
I'm holding these people. Pick them up. It's costing me
a fortune. I need extra beds in my jails. It's
cost me I have to hold this person. You guys
are slow to pick them up and process them at
the same time, so it can be a burden on
local governments as well unless they're picked up rather quickly.
That means ICE has to be well funded. That was
(35:38):
addressed with the big beautiful bill. But I did that
complain for years.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Yeah there, right now, we don't have the funding, we
don't have the the law, we don't have anything going on.
We have complete dysfunction and obstruction. All right, Rory, great report.
We'll talk again tomorrow. One chance to live today. Go
make a difference in someone's life in cherish your own.
We'll see in the morning. We're all in this together. This,
