Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's me Michael.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Your morning show can be heard on great stations across
the country like Talk Radio eleven ninety and Dallas Fort Worth,
Freedom one oh four point seven and Washington, DC and
five point fifty KFYI and Phoenix, Arizona. We'd love to
be a part of your morning routine or take us
along on the drive to work, but as we always say,
better late than never. Enjoy the podcast seven minutes after
the hour. Thanks for waking up with your morning show

(00:22):
on the air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app,
which is how you use the talkback button. We don't
just name this your show. It really belongs to you.
Jeffrey's here to serve you. Red's here to serve you.
I'm here to serve you, David's and Otti got up
early to help serve you. And we can't have a
conversation with you without your voice. So use that talkback
button on your iHeartRadio app, like this listener did yesterday

(00:45):
about David.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
I don't think I've heard David get that riled up.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Ever, I first of all, I have seen him get
that riled up. I'll never forget. If I could just
start with this story I mean, you can't just crave
hard news all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
So David's a better golfer. Period.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
One day I beat him, and then I have a
radio show, so I got on the air, and you know, naturally,
when you play with somebody every day for a decade, lose, lose, lose,
and then one day you win, you know, it's exciting.
So I bragged about it on the air. The next
time we played golf, I got there and I'm ready
to hug him, you know, and I know he's being cold.
Then we get in the cart, I know he's not
talking to me, and he's just got this look in

(01:26):
his face, and he pounded me whole after all, after all.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
But yeah, you got a little while.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
The left narrative of these kids have immigrants, they're gonna
come home from school and their parents are gonna be gone,
and David launches into a diarde.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
The only reasons.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
They're gonna come home with their parents are gone is
because they're both having worked two jobs to pay for
all these illegals, to which the listener called up and said.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
I must say, I don't think I've heard David get
that riled up.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Ever, it was one of my favorite moments of the year.
Good morning, have you calmed down? Good morning, Michael, and
you have just slight slip there. I wish we had
been playing golf every day. No, I never played golf
about once a month, whatever it was.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
I just noticed the next time we played, you founded me.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
You know, my old my old friend coach Mackie used
to say this was He would say, z when you win,
say little. When you lose, say less.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Well, I haven't said anything since, so I guess I
learned that lesson. All right, there was a poll a
Barnepol yesterday and this isn't beat up on Barna. This
is conversation understanding. I have been one of the few people.
And that's not to pat myself on the back. I'd
like to hear more people noticing this. And this is

(02:36):
purely experiential. If before my children were born you asked me,
what's the number one number one goal, it would be
that they would see Jesus and me and they would
know Christ as savior, and that they would find strength
better than me to make him lord daily. That would
have been my goal. But I never really had to
impose or teach my faith. I watched my kids general

(03:01):
born with a measure of faith. What do I mean
by a measure of faith. It's not a mental struggle
for them, it was a gift of faith.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
They grew up in faith.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
They spontaneously started having Bible studies among themselves.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Which were hilarious to listen to.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
But and I have been noticing that this generation, whether
it's rebellion, whether it's chosen measure of faith, I don't know.
But we have witnessed a cultural shift and reawakening, which
could be different than spiritual revival, but definitely culture shift.

(03:41):
And you just saw a political revolution. You just saw
decades of leftist worldview and ideology die right before your eyes.
And it came on gradually, but it left in one
fails swoop and it's gone. And David in his team
do Christmas in and and I'll never forget the year

(04:01):
we did the Depression, because the greatest takeaway for me
was you don't have the greatest generation unless they grow
up in the depression. The product of the Depression created
the men that liberated the world and fought a World War.
I think the offspring of a generation of oppression has

(04:25):
just given birth to a generation who's ready to liberate
America and return to its faith and values. So I'm
seeing all that, and then this poll pops up in
the nation under God, our relationship with God individually is deteriorating,
and I thought, well, that just doesn't match what I'm

(04:47):
seeing at all.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
David, you had a chance to go through the survey.
What did you find?

Speaker 4 (04:51):
Yeah, Michael, first off, thanks for the opportunity, and again
a little bit of credentials. Thanks for giving me the
credentials that you do this opportunity on this program. We've
been at this for a long time, and part of
the journey that we've had as a public policy organization
for the last forty five years has been to get
inside what polling really is. Back in the day when

(05:15):
polls were actually being conducted by phone survey bases with
a sincere amount of collegiate science applied to the mechanism,
and people had landlines and they answered their phones because
they didn't know who was calling. The world of telephone
polls and the kind of survey mechanism, the science they're
built on had some pretty good legitimacy if the poll
was corrected are correctly assembled, But the reality is, whoever

(05:38):
puts the poll together can get whatever results they want
based upon how they create their sample, how many people
they talk to, the questions that they asked, the questions
that they don't, the language that they use in the question,
how much time they spend, the people they employed asked
the questions. There are a tremendous amount of details. That's
why posters made so much money because it was really
hard to do, and they were dedicated to people who

(05:59):
wanted to know. Pay big money and I learned all
that stuff.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Now, when you can't achieve sample sizing, which they can't
because nobody's landlines anymore and they can't find people to respond, well,
it's no different than when COVID started and we were
looking at all the assumptions in some of these models
that said such and such million would die by easter.
Well it was completely an accurate because what are you
putting in that model? That's what they do with polling
every day. Well, then you just brought up the ultimate bias,

(06:23):
which is how you ask the question.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yeah, and what the actual words are.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
So these things are so if we're going to be
critical of polling in general, we're going to be particularly
critical of polling law. That is manipulated. Then everybody ought
to have a chance to be reviewed. And so when
I reviewed this barnupiece doctor George Barne, and he's pretty
famous among the National Religious Religious Broadcasters Crew, pretty famous

(06:48):
among the.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Church folks. I mean, he gets preached into a lot
of sermons, right.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
Therefore he manages to sell a lot of books because
he does polls and then writes books about it. Polls,
and it's kind of always the idea of I know
something you don't know, Well, he might do it.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
He might manage it.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
However, when you look at the details on this doesn't
add up. Number one, we don't he doesn't say to us,
even at second and third level research, did you talk
to people on the landlines?

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Did he talk to people on cell phones? Did he
talks to people?

Speaker 4 (07:19):
All we know is that there's this group that he
refers to that has a database of people that they pull.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Always say what's that?

Speaker 4 (07:27):
And that sounds more like a focus group, but it
sounds like an online survey of twenty one hundred people.
And then you look at the kind of questions that
they ask and it's all church talk.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
So people don't respond able to church talk if they
don't hang around in church a lot. Can I give
you a great example.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Sure, So we took a tour of another university for
Nick proud to say, where my two of my kids go.
It's a great university. They did a little survey to
me after our visit, wanting to always improve how they
do this. And one of the questions was just all
of this gobbly gook woke speak, and this from a

(08:08):
university that shouldn't be in the gobbly gook you know,
word speech business. And I said, well, I don't respond
well to all those woke words, but I will tell
you this. The person that gave the tour was knowledgeable, thorough,
and we felt very welcomed. It was simply I wasn't
interested in do the university express its inclusiveness and this

(08:29):
and this and all this other nonsense. So, but do
the reverse of that for a poll like this. So
now you're talking to the American people using church lingo
that they don't respond to. It makes it feel like
they're less responsive to God. No, they're less responsive to
your cultural.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
God speak, not God right.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
And the way that you asked the question, I mean,
first off, there's a passage in the scripture that goes
the whole way back to King David, and even further
than that is that God knows what's in everybody's heart.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
God alone knows what's in people's hearts. You know, it's
your prey.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Well, that was the one advantage that Jesus had when
he was here, as a scripture says, he always knew
what was in the heart of the person he was
talking to. He had the inside pulling data on everybody
that he was in confrontation with. So here you're asking
questions that are very difficult to interpret, and there's a
lot of adverbs and adjectives describing the results merely severely.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
I mean, all these kinds of words that you always
you know.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
It dog gone when you watch the adverbs, okay, because
the adverbs tell you it's to tell.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
So it's overstated for certainly.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
I mean, is this one just sixteen percent say God
is the most important element.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Of their life.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
Well, first off, I would say no to that question,
because God's not an element.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Okay, I mean, because like let's say, all right, I'm
just I'm helping you now, I'm not going to interrupt,
but my marriage on earth would be one of the
most important things, not cars, not homes, not income, my marriage,
the covenant, Marriora, rich with my wife, then my children,
and my wife comes before my children because I can
never love my kids more than I love their mother.

(10:06):
But that's all in my relationship with God. That's all
fruits of my relationship with God. So to differentiate that
is really not even good theology.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
Right, Well, can I give you another example, knowing you're
not interrupting in all, jump wherever you want. Fewer than
one third thirty one percent believe that God is actively
involved in every moment of their life. Excuse me if
we live in a country where thirty one percent of
the people believe God is actively involved in every moment
of their life, what's the second category, most moments of

(10:38):
my life?

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Well, by now we certainly.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
Have over sixty percent are now and then Okay, I mean,
think about the way the questions are structured.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
I mean, at the end of the day, it sounds
like I don't I just look, it doesn't make a
lot of sense to me.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
Let's go back to what you started with, okay, which
is the fact that we have a generation that has
watched their adults exceed in the abuses of drugs, sex, alcohol, entertainment,
social media, et cetera, et cetera. They've watched a country
that's bankrupted their families, forced their parents to work two jobs.

(11:14):
Some of those cases created divorces in the household and
the family. They've come to the end of themselves. They
can't survive on a perfection culture. They know we're facing
a national debt that means they'll never pay less taxes
than they pay right now. They've come to the end
of the road, and they're sick of it, and they're
looking up for answers.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
I look back at horror. When I watched Jade Bantce's movie,
I thought to myself, you thought that was dysfunctional. You
should have grown up in my house. But I look
back haunted by had I grown up in a family
that had it all together, two parents like the Brady's,

(11:55):
strong in faith, going to Sunday school, going to Wednesday Night. Say,
I don't know that I would have responded to the
Gospel the way I did, coming from complete destruction, coming
from complete disruption, coming from complete dysfunction. And then I
saw the gospel, Why would it be any different for
our unborn, our newly born children. They were born into

(12:16):
a world of the consequences of conformity, and they were
just born with a seed of transformation in them. Or,
as we've talked about in the past two if you're
going to rebel against parents that you know the minute
you dressed like a girl on Halloween they want to
nip you, you're going to go far right. That's the
only lane for rebellion is to go traditional conservative and right.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
You add what they experienced in COVID.

Speaker 4 (12:40):
Oh, that was a westraw one across the whole culture,
including their world. And how the government that they didn't
even give two thoughts about six months prior to that,
was suddenly saying no problem for you, no football games
for you. We got women in the Midwest being tased
by school security guards because they won't put on a
mask at a junior high school foot and they're dragging

(13:01):
the person off the jail.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
They saw all this stuff. They're not blind.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
How about the four generations that created thirty five trillion
dollars of debt not awakening and this generation taking one
living them. Dave Ramsey lectures, yeah, yeah, and now they
wake up and they go, you mean now I can't
have the dream of home ownership.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Somewhere between COVID and the inability to own a home,
someday crack the code and they're never going to get
it back. This is a special generation. So the latest barnepole,
which we don't give a lot of weight to, we say,
not so fast. The polling reeks of a lot of errors,
and it really reeks of the biggest error, not what
we're experientially seeing.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
It's your Morning Show with Michael Del.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Chino conversation with David Snati. You know, I had a
listener earlier in the week accuse me of bringing up
Wes Moore a lot. Why do I bring up Wes
Moore because I believe he's going to be their main candidate.
And I brought up Ronny Manuel because out of the blue,
he's suddenly the one coming forward with the big shift
in policy. Enough about bathrooms, enough about locker rooms, We

(14:03):
need to focus on classrooms. And I thought, well, guess
who was there for Obama? Guess who was there for
John Podesta? Romy Manuel? Is this the Podesta candidate rearing
his head early?

Speaker 4 (14:15):
Whoa good, really good question? Or is he just going
to be guiding this circus for a while. You know,
is he going to be the ring master who everybody
plays around. Let's remember this about Rama Manuel. He's the
one who made famous the statement never let a crisis
go to waste. That was him, that was the the
This is the Rama Manual of the auto bailout, of

(14:38):
the cash.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
For Clunkers for Clunkers, celendrosh right, this is the Rama
Manuel at the peak of the Obama regime. He's closer
to Podesta than Obama, but it's the same inner circle.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
And Obama can't run again.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
And if it's going to be Wes Moore or someone else,
this would be their guy.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
But it's crystal clear that he came back from being
an ambassador in Japan and said, I'm ready to get
back in the fight. Well, what level is he going
to go? That's the only place he's got. I doubt
he wants to be a US senator. This is also
the guy whose brother who's a physician, who's one of
the leading guides for the national takeover of all healthcare.
Obamacare never went far enough for his brother, Ezekiel.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Yeah, and he's all but admit he's going to run
for president. So I think he plans to be the
first to officially announce, and there's some power being probably.

Speaker 4 (15:26):
Important because he's from Illinois and he's going to need
those electoral votes.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Ronnie Manuel now on the scene.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Let's talk about what comes before even the presidential race.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Arcasm For those of you just waiting, Yes sucks. I'm
executive chef George Harvel.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
My morning show is your Morning Show with Michael DOJORNA.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Hi, I'm Michael del Jorno, and your morning show can
be heard live as it's happening five to eight am
Central at six to nine Eastern on great stations like
six WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or AKRONS, News Talk six
forty WHLO and Akron Ohio and News Radio five seventy
WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part
of your morning routine.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
But we're glad you're here. Now, enjoyed the podcast. I
got to tell you something.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
We are over halfway through with today's show and it's
still dark out.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
I do not like this. Do you have sunlight yet?

Speaker 5 (16:22):
There?

Speaker 1 (16:23):
No, No, you're still in the darkened yeah Orlando, Orlando, Yeah, No,
this is garbage.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
We're having a little DC with DZ on this Thursday,
March the thirteenth year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five.
The two NASA astronauts, by the way, waking up this morning,
they're trapped in space. They had to scrub the mission
because of a hydraulic issue with the clamps holding the
Falcon nine rocket in place, so it's not on the
rocket but on the ground. They hope to have that
if it's resolved, another launch tomorrow night. And then we

(16:53):
have Chuckie Schumer bragging ow he thinks he's got the
votes it's going to take to block this Republican spend bill. Well,
it's an American spending bill, and if you continue to
block it, we're going to have a government shutdown, which,
by the way, is fine with me. That just cuts
all non essential spending. But we're talking with David Tonati.
There was an interesting poll we did earlier in the

(17:13):
five o'clock hour shameless plug for the podcast if you
missed it, and it's just like every poll every day.
It shows that Donald Trump is different this time, and
the American people are especially different.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
So if the.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Democrats decide to play not an opposing party game, which
they should be playing, but a pure obstruction game if
they can't read the tea leaves of where the American
people are, and they certainly couldn't during the election cycle,
and they haven't very well since they're going to lose
power for a long time. And this poll today was
over Donald Trump's executive order on the English language being

(17:49):
the first primary language. Seventy three percent of the American
people support English as the official language, including fifty four
percent who strongly support. Only ten percent strongly disagree. So
on the passion front, this is a five to one
advantage for English as the official language. It is a
seventy three to ten percent differential. And we keep seeing

(18:12):
this in every issue, whether it's the border, whether it's
the economy, whether it's trans athletes competing against women. And
the Democrats haven't made a narrative shift yet, and you'll
wonder how that plays well. Here's our great example. A
signal poll shows that Senator John Osoff in Georgia, Democrat

(18:35):
is in a deadlock forty four to forty four percent
against any generic Republican challenger. The numbers shift fifty two
to thirty eight percent advantage to the GOP when you
remind them that Asoff voted to allow men to play
in sports against women. I mean, they're just going to

(18:57):
die on this trans hill, it would appear, or all
these different hills where they just can't seem to get
a simple read. This isn't Donald Trump. He's not perceived
as a boogeyman or the devil or an insurrectionist. In fact,
he's doing the things the American people want done and
that they support being done. How could all this impact
this midterm election?

Speaker 4 (19:18):
It's a great question what's the midterm election going to
be about? Because it's already here, and at this stage
in game, it appears that the investment is going into
two issues, the transgender issue and Doge. The other side,
the Democrat side is basically saying that the same call
for social justice on the question of transsexuality, and they're

(19:40):
basically condemning out of hand Doge. If the election becomes
a referendum on what's on the Doge website, I don't
know how the Democrats expect to win, because one thing
the American people would like to know is what's going
on inside their government and everything that Doge is showing
us says the claims about waste, fraud and corruption are

(20:02):
at in abuse are absolutely true. If those stories continue
to mount, they will be the language of the conversation
in twenty twenty six. And the Democrats are going to
have a really hard time.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Because two thirds of the American people support what Dose
is doing and are outraged at what it's finding.

Speaker 4 (20:20):
This is across all demographics, and the transgender question crosses
all demographics. However, lest everyone get way ahead over their skis,
that's thinking that twenty twenty six is a slam dunk.
A congressional election is everything different than a presidential election.
A presidential election takes all the sentiment, all the rhetoric,

(20:40):
and all the money and puts it into one singular
filter and gives Americans a binary choice, right, you pick
A or B. That's totally different than having four hundred
and thirty five House races spread out across the country
that is very divided on a hole. In other words,

(21:01):
when you take all the Democrat members of the House
from California and Illinois, New York and you compare them
to everywhere else, it balances out within five seats.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Very different election, right.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
How And the Democrats are great at jurymandering as well.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
Let's not kid ourselves.

Speaker 4 (21:20):
They have mastered the art of jurymandering in the places
where it matters, most high population centers, So that means
they get seats just showing up.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
By the way, for those don't know that term, that's
that's how the districting is done. That gives a proclivity
for an outcome.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
All right, So Red, did you catch up quickly? He
just ripped that off, just boom right there.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
No, I know, But what I wanted to say was,
I'm thinking of Red's favorite story yesterday. So Nancy Pelosi,
weird or ugly head, stopped AOC from getting the head
of opposition party in ways and means to get revenge,
her chief of staff is going back to San Francisco
to try to dethrone Nancy Pelosi. That shows you that

(22:03):
they're fighting a two front war. Democrats are mostly at
war with themselves, then Republicans and or both. You got
the new Hampshire Senator Jeanie Shaheen. She is not going
to run for reelection. Everybody, I mean, how long does
it take both.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
Of us to go?

Speaker 2 (22:19):
If Sununuo decides to run, that's a pretty good shot
for the Republicans to steal that seat. But all that aside,
what's the chances of Democrats losing in primaries if the
current seat holders don't awaken to these narratives that are
failing them. A part of me says, it may be

(22:40):
a different Democrat Party. The other part of me says, well,
it's the same old thing we always say. Ask everyone
they think of Congress. Less than ten percent approve of Congress.
But then they'll go, oh, but my congressmen and vote
for him. So and you talked about the jerry mandering
and how these districts are set up, especially in Illinois,
New York and in California. They're likely not to learn

(23:02):
much or really shift. But what is the odds of
there being a shift in the party? In other words,
if these seat holders won't let go of these narratives
that are so at odds with the American people, they
may lose their primaries and thus reshape Congress.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
Well, this takes us right back to where we've been
in the reality of the hollowing out of the Democratic
Party by George Soros and the billion our cartel. It
just depends on what level they choose to play now.
If they want to go ahead and look, the Polici
district is safe no matter who's in it. So if
they put an AOC type candidate in there and they run,

(23:37):
they're going to win.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
Okay, that's not even a question. That's a seat. That's
a seat.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
To get control back, they've got to come into the
vulnerable districts and the Republicans have to mess up by
not getting quality candidates. And the problem with Republicans is
they're great at campaigning, but they have a hard time
doing two things at one time. They get so focused
on governing once they're in power and they are doing
a serious commitment to governing right now, will they remember

(24:03):
that those House seats change everything.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Do they have that ability of that.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
Capacity, and do they have that kind of money to
be able to do it, and will they spend that money?

Speaker 1 (24:13):
Michael, you can't beat something with nothing.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
And the Democrats have only got one game right now,
and that's the field candidates they believe can upset the
apple cart in twenty twenty six. If the Republicans don't
pay attention and don't put the right people in the
right places, they'll could be closing moments.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
So David's an notty, CEO of the American Policy Roundtable,
hosts of the Public Score on two hundred stations, and
senior contributor to Your morning show. Think about just these
first fifty days, and it's been crazy. The Democrats have
been in full opposition against the Ukraine. Support that's blown
up in their face, full opposition against Doze, that's blown

(24:49):
up in their face. English as the official language, that's
blown up in their face. Hey, they put a lot
on the line with egg prices and that's blown up
in their face. Eggs are down two dollars a dozen
as a today and that's just the first fifty days.
So how much more time do they have to get
things right before the midterm, because the midterm really really

(25:11):
starts right after summer.

Speaker 4 (25:15):
If not already, yeah, if not already, And no, you're
exactly right again the questions how much time do they have, Well,
they have plenty of time to run a campaign, plenty
of time to apply the billionaire Cartail's money.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Question is do they have the candidates?

Speaker 4 (25:30):
And the biggest question is if the other side's not
playing or not fighting in key swing seats, then that's
the big question. I mean, look, if everybody puts out a.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Total one effort.

Speaker 4 (25:43):
The momentum is clearly on the side of the Republicans.
If the issues, as you mentioned early stake are the
question about transgendournism and particularly.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
The issue of Doge.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
Republicans have got momentum, and momentum is hard to get
back once you've lost it unless somebody stops fighting.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
We have often said that who really runs Listen, Democrat
constituents don't have any say in this party. They did
in twenty sixteen they wanted Bernie, they got Hillary, they didn't.
In twenty twenty they wanted Bernie again, they got Joe Biden.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
They didn't.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
In twenty twenty four, they just gave their Biden votes
directly to Kamlin, never even asked them. All right, So
they don't even have a say in this But bottom
line is they're going to have to pivot and pivot soon.
And the people that are really running the party aren't
the ones talking right now. They're letting other people doing it.
So they probably have a plan. They're showing you their

(26:34):
first hand. Ronny Manuel is going to have some kind
of play in this narrative. Policy candidate shift. I don't
know that they've played their hand for the midterm election
yet as to what they're going to do, and I
wonder how much longer they have before they have to pretty.

Speaker 4 (26:51):
Quickly point you bring it up, Michael, because Emmanuel has
gotten the money from the Obama cartel before, he could
likely get it again now. He maybe just doing all
of this to provide leadership until the moment and then
he steps back out of the way. But somebody's got
to re reactivate the billionaire cartel, and with the manual
on the job, that's what he's done.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
He's got nothing else to do. So watch out.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah, if they're gonna get their act together before the midterms,
they're going to show their hand here right before the
summer break, don't you think.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yep, And they've yet to do it. I don't see,
have you.

Speaker 4 (27:21):
No, As long as the doge guys don't stumble, the
other guy's got trouble.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
We had to go into overtime today to cover everything.
Thank you so much for your time, Dad.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
He's my friend. Go and rest. Still no sun in Orlando,
not yet. I'm still in the dark in Tennessee. You're
in the birds, but no sun. Can only imagine how
dark it is on the West coast. Thank you, David.
This is your morning show with Michael Dell Chruano.

Speaker 6 (27:45):
We have to disagree on what the clocks are showing.
I worked in my yard till seven o'clock last night
in some daylight. Brother, that's what I love. I realize
you have to get up early, start your show early.
Some of us love the afternoons on life. Love your
show as well, brother.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Keep it up. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
I obviously, if I'm going to get eight hours sleep,
I have to be asleep by seven. I never am,
but you know, it is hard when I have to
get the blinding sun out of my light to go
to bed for the night. But I realize grab glasses
half empty for some half full for others. But it
does feel more like an overnight show lately. All right,
if you're just waking up fifty two minutes after the hour,

(28:23):
the two NASA astronauts stuck aboard the International Space Station
are going to be stuck a little bit longer.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
How long, we don't know.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
The mission was aborted about an hour before takeoff because
of a hydraulic issue with the clamps that hold the
Falcon nine rocket, so it was a ground issue. Not
a rocket issue. They're going to take another shot at
it Friday night. Yeah, I'm not holding my breath either.
Senate Minority Leader Chuckie Schumer is bragging that the Democrats
have all the votes they need to block the Republican
spending bill. So that's leadership just blocking apparently. And US

(28:54):
arm deliveries have continued to Ukraine now that they have
resumed after the thirty day USC's fire proposed what was
accepted by Ukraine, and now all negotiations center around Russia. Meanwhile,
the European Union is responding to tariffs in the quote
unquote trade war. White House correspondent John Decker is here

(29:14):
to join us. It's kind of like the Paula Abdul
one step forward, two steps back. Every day there's a
story like yesterday when Canada back down on the tariffs
and electricity for some American states, and then we have
the Trade Union, the European Union responding. So it's like,
you know, you take a step forward and you take
a step back. This was clearly a step back, right John, Well,

(29:37):
that's right because.

Speaker 7 (29:38):
So many American products.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Are going to be implicated because of these retaliatory teriffs.
Not only coming from the European Union, but also from Canada,
the majority. The largest exporter of steeling aluminum to the
US is Canada. You think about the most popular vehicle
in this country in terms of sales, it's the Ford

(30:00):
one fifty and the Ford F one fifty its body
made of aluminum.

Speaker 7 (30:04):
The price of a Ford F one fifty is going to.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Go up by four hundred dollars because of these retaliatory tariffs.

Speaker 5 (30:10):
And then you look at the EU.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
They put tariffs on American poultry, American beef, Kentucky Bourbon
blue jeans, even Harley Davidson motorcycles. The price of those
products in Europe is going to go up, which will
certainly impact demand for those products.

Speaker 5 (30:27):
So that's what's happening, and that's immediate.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
You know, the effect of that will be seen as
we look at various economic indicators over the course of
the next few months.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
It's amazing what's immedia today and then is gone tomorrow.
So that doesn't suggest that any of this is going
to be permanent, but it does suggest there's a pretty
heated negotiation going on. Or do you sense some of
these are going to start sticking and being permanent.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
No, I mean, look, I based upon what happened in
the President's first term.

Speaker 5 (30:58):
Same thing happened.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
It's literally days the President put tariffs on imported steel
and aluminum, and what did the EU do?

Speaker 5 (31:05):
They had retaliatory.

Speaker 7 (31:06):
Tariffs and they were on the same products that they.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Just placed tariffs on once again, including Harley Davidson motorcycles.
So each side, the US side, the EU side, they've
returned to the same playbook and they're, you know, running
the same plays that they did in.

Speaker 7 (31:21):
The first term of President Trump.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
John Decker is our White House correspondent. John, All items
aren't the same. I mean, you know, at the end
of the day, if the F one fifty four dollars more,
it's forty dollars more for vehicles that are already sixty
thousand dollars more than they were not so long ago.
But well, I'll tell you the one that worries me
the most, and that is lumber from Canada. Because we

(31:44):
got a housing crisis and the biggest solution to the
housing crisis is going to be building more housing, and
we're going to need a lot of wood.

Speaker 5 (31:52):
Yeah, no, that's right.

Speaker 7 (31:54):
And where where does that lumber come from? Where does
that timber come from not all of it, but a
good chunk of it comes from Canada.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
So the price of those new.

Speaker 7 (32:03):
Homes, the cost of building those new homes is going
to go up as well, you.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
Know, estimate ten to fifteen thousand dollars because of these terraffs.
And you know where does it end? How does it end?
I don't know, you know, no one knows the answer
to that. But we know that there are additional terrifts
that the president will impose that will.

Speaker 5 (32:21):
Be on April the second.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
So the trade war, as it's being called, is not
over yet. It's really in the beginning stages.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Yeah, the question is is this a result or is
this an ongoing negotiation and conversation? And holy time will
tell John, thanks so much for joining us as always,
great reporting. Talk again tomorrow every day. It's it's a
narrative game, it really is. And you've got to know

(32:53):
what is narrative and what is reality. The narrative game
for the first forty three day das of the Trump
presidency was he's failing the economy and why look at
the price of eggs. Now, that was a nonsensical narrative
when it was happening. What becomes of that narrative today,
now that eggs are down two dollars a dozen, remember

(33:16):
the narrative for about a week. What happened to the
Oval Office? That's proof Trump's a pootin buppet. He just
turned his back on Ukraine. Our relations with Ukraine will
never be the same, our relations with Freedom, our trust
with Europe will never be the same. And we got
a thirty day cease fire. And now it's time to
talk to Russia. And if he succeeds in any of

(33:39):
this warld he'll get a Nobel Peace Prize. The question
of the day is is that also what is happening
with tariffs that this is a process game, not an endgame.
Now some of them are laughable, just in and of themselves.
Four more for an F one fifteen. That's now sixty

(34:01):
thousand dollars more than it was a decade ago.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
I will give me a break. We're all in this together.
