Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
on great radio stations across the country like wilm and
w DOV and Wilmington and Dover, Delaware or wgst AM
seven twenty the voice in Middle Georgia. And we're going
to need some blankets. News Radio six fifty k e
n I, Anchorage, Alaska. We'd love to be a part
of your morning routine. Now enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I'm talking come out friends, Mama two.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Three, starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
This is your morning show with Michael gel Trump.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
App feeling a wee bittie ish today, Saint Patrick's Day, Monday,
the seventeenth of March.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
You have our Lord twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Thanks for raking up with your morning show on the
Aaron streaming live on your iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Humbly, I am here to serve you.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I am Michael as Jeffrey with the sound I Ratt
wearing red, keeping an eye on the content.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Which, by the way, the poles of plenty are amazing.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
We've been doing the poll usually my wife over here
is nonsense in here. We've actually been having a serious
discussion about these polls. They're absolutely amazing about America's view.
Are we heading in the right direction? Wrong direction? The
Democrats view of their own party, which is collapsing. And
the obvious way to turn it around is find out
(01:24):
what things even Democrats think are heading in the right
direction and stop fighting them. I would think the border
would be the big one I've read. I know you've
consumed this as much as I have. I would think
the border is a big one. I wonder though, and
right now you'd have to almost discern it rather than
prove it.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
If there's a little bit of this.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
You know what, because I see a sentiment against both parties,
to be honest with you, when both parties only add
up to an approval rating of fifty four percent, at
some point America is ready to move on from this
two party system, or at least this two party divide
us all. And so we're going to go inside these numbers.
But what they possibly reveal is as fascinating as what
(02:05):
they've obviously revealed. Dozens of storms over the weekend it
was wild weather. Missouri paid the highest price with twelve deaths.
Mississippi was six Oklahoma with four Arkansas, with three Texas
with four nasty nasty stuff, and we had it here
in Tennessee. Most of ours was just you know, localized flooding,
(02:27):
but pretty nasty weather over the weekend. I guess they
won't say this out loud, but thanks to Elon and SpaceX,
Butch and Sunny will be heading home soon they rendezvous
at the space station. Trump has voided all of Biden's pardons.
This goes back to that auto pen revelation. And we
said on the day it was revealed, I mean, never
(02:48):
mind the comparisons to the movie Dave who has been
running the country, But with these auto pen signatures stand
up in court, and if they don't, there's a lot
of things the auto signed, and many people have this impressed. Well,
they had to be towards the end when things were
really No from the very beginning he was using auto pen.
Perhaps from the very beginning he was never really running
(03:11):
this country. Trump's Special envoy to the Middle East says
Russia and Ukraine are close to a deal to end
the war between the two countries. Can't wait to talk
about that with our White House correspondent John Decker, who
wasn't very optimistic heading into the weekend.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Donald Trump does.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
This, got the budgets off, Now you get onto the
tax cuts. This guy's done in the first sixty days.
He's done. I hate he could just start campaigning, I
guess for the midterm. But at all he would do
is sit and wait for his Nobel Peace Prize for
stopping this war. And the NCAA tournament field has been revealed.
(03:54):
I gotta tell you, for my friends listening in both
Memphis and Nashville, I like the balls get a cakewalk
virtually to the Elite eight with their placement. So they'll
start with Wolford, then they play the winner of Utah
State UCLA, and really only the aligne I stand between
(04:16):
them and the Elite eight. That's a pretty good route
to my friends listening on the superstation in Detroit. Could
Michigan State have gotten a better placement. Michigan State will
start against Bryant, then they'll play the winner of New
Mexico and Marquette, and then even then the toughest team
(04:37):
and there's a lot of questions whether it be Iowa
State or Ole miss Either way, Michigan State with the
cake walk to the Elite eight. Now once they get
to the lead eight, I suspect it's Auburn and Michigan
waiting for him. Michigan got pretty good placement too, although
they'll face Auburn when they make it to the Sweet sixteen.
Other than that, Saint John's I think stole a lot
(04:59):
of people's hearts over the weekend. First time in twenty
five years they won the Big East and they get
a number two seed, and it's just kind of, you know,
the Big when I was growing up Saint John's, Seaton Hall, Georgetown, Providence.
I'm trying to think of the dominant Syracuse, the dominant
(05:20):
teams out of the Big East that no longer simply exists.
A record fourteen teams from the SEC make it to
the Big Dance. I was, I was very curious how
they would do this. I can see Auburn, they are
the number one overall seed making it to the final four.
(05:43):
It's going to be and it's possible that Florida, who
I thought, out of everybody in the SEC tournament, just
from start to finish, looked the best. If Florida should
come out of the West Regional, Auburn out of the
South regional. There's an All SEC semi final Alabama, who
(06:04):
is a very good two seed. I don't think this
is likely to happen. I don't think Duke's gonna miss
much of a beat. But if Bama or even Tennessee
for that matter, would have to get by Houston, that
would be difficult. But you have a you have a
chance of an All SEC Final four, which I think
would be a disaster for college basketball. What an All
(06:25):
SEC final four? It'll be like an SEC tournament. It's
not our fault. It's not our fault. We earned it.
You're awful touchy and you're a Kentucky fan.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Aren't you. Yeah, well you're not gonna be there. We'll
be out and round two. Isn't it fun?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
But you know, I actually think, you know, I think
Super Bowls lost a little bit of its luster, although commercials.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Made it comeback this year.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
We can all agree March Madness is still the one
that's universal in my home. Doesn't matter boys, girls, everybody
fills out a bracket. Let the fun begin. I think
Florida is a very dangerous team. I really do. Uh,
I'm looking for sleepers. Saint John's has somehow stole my heart.
Oh you gotta you know, not so great. They got
(07:13):
to start right off the bat with Yukon, and then
even if they beat Yukon, they got to play Florida.
That's a really tough seed they got. But Saint John's
coming out of the West until they get to the
Elite eight, Saint John's got a pretty easy road. That
could be excited that maybe my sleeper team Saint John's.
I'm a sleeper at number two seed. I don't think
(07:35):
we're gonna have I don't sense a lot of surprises.
I was looking for my you know, my famous twelve
over fives, and they just don't, you know, look all
that favorable to me, because that would mean Liberty has
to beat Crayton. I don't think that's gonna happen. Who's
the twelve versus five. McNeice could knock off Clemson, but
(08:02):
even that's a stretch. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's
a tough year when your sleeper is a two seed,
say Johns. That's how that's how predictable this one might be.
But that's why we played the games. I went ev
over the weekend, I went electric. No way, do you
think this hurts my that's our question for the talkback.
Does me going EV hurt my credibility? What do you
(08:24):
mean you went ev? I purchased an electric Knockle for
the first time ever, and not only do I love it.
It has nothing to do with the politics, has nothing
to do with the climate. I mean just it's the
power every It just drives better and quiet, and I'm
(08:47):
loving it like rams electric golf carts. Right, I mean
all you hear is the tires just kind of move. Well, No,
it's just a It's just a great car. I love
it had everything. The only reason I got rid of
my car was because it didn't have heads up display.
I really think that ought to be standard now. Probably
needed an oil change. No, No one that bad, But
(09:08):
I I just I was thinking about one. And then,
you know, I just couldn't fit right in the seat
feel you know, the ceial didn't feel I don't know,
I just didn't feel comfortable, Okay, And so I walked
by this one and I sit in and I go, now,
this one, this, this field, this is incredible.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
This is everything I'm looking for. Red, I feel an
intervention coming on.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
No One.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
The guy goes, well, this one's electric.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
You know, and I was like ooh, And then I
did the most crazy thing.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
I said, well, let's just take it for a ride. Yeah,
and then that one was it.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
But at the end of the day it had everything
but heads up displayed.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
So I'm still don't have my head's up display. Doesn't
really make a difference. It's going to be gone in
three months. Oh stop it.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
By the way, we gotta have lunch this week, so
you red is of the theory that every second lunch
there's a different car.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
I'll never have to I'm over my addition.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Ask me why I'm over my addiction.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
And how I got over How were you over your
at least?
Speaker 1 (10:02):
So I've come to grips with they are depreciating worthless things,
so why pay for all that? And the residual level
in this was very high, which means you pay for
a very little of the vehicle in the lease. It
was a very very very wonderful vehicle for a very
low price. And boom, I don't have worry about tires.
I don't have to worry about, you know, constantly getting
sick of car every three years. I'll just get a
(10:24):
new one. But I think I'm gonna be electric for
a while. I actually really like So now we've said
this conservatively for a long time. I don't If you
want an electric car, go for it. Well guess what
I just did. No, I still have four other gas
but just in case I have to make a getaway
after an EMP.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
What do you still.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
Like it?
Speaker 7 (10:44):
Like?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
What was the movie?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I loved a Red Dawn? Remember the little the kids
are taking on? How do you how do you handle
the charging? Do you just drop yourself one of them
extension cords? Okay, so my my big spiel against electric
was always it being mandated, forced and incentivized. If the
if you put it out there on a fair playing
(11:07):
field and consumers choose it, that's another thing. Infrastructure, of course,
has improved, thank to eat thanks to Elon Musk and
Elon Musk cooperating with all the others, so they've cut
some deals. Elone has cut some deals with Detroit so
you can use their charging stations. But all right, So
the other thing was what you have to do at
home to prepare? And then I used to say, and
how long you buy a vehicle for me? If we're
(11:29):
going to have a serious conversation, would I buy an
electric vehicle. No, I did not buy an electric vehicle,
but I would lease one for three years, So that
takes away a bunch of the negatives. And then the
other negative is what do you have to do in
your garage? So they have these charging stations that you
hook up. They're like six hundred ninety bucks, seven hundred bucks,
(11:49):
and then you got to pay the guy, depending on
where your electric is, you know, five hundred or or
a little bit more.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
To hook it up.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
So you got about a twelve hundred dollars investment and
then you're never paying gas again.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
I still don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
You know, the price differentials are coming back, the maintenance
differentials are not, and the replacement costs for the batteries
has not changed much. So I still wouldn't buy an EV,
but I would wisely lease one to.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Church on Sunday anyway. So I don't you got that much.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I don't like like they were, like you sure ten
thousands could be enough because it'd be like fifteen fifteen
cents of mom. I never leave the house. I go
to lunch with Red. What's he doing? Red looks uncomfortable, man,
he just he's fidgeting. Now, I'm a liberal not because
I have an electric vehicle. You freak you, and I
thought you'd be in a good mood with Saint John's winning.
(12:41):
I just don't think you can keep a car for
three well, I have.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
To charge it once and then I don't.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Think you could early release the lease, can't you.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
I mean, I think I never find out that funny.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I could take on a wife forever and it doesn't
caused me any anxiety. It's the thrill and of my life.
But but he's right, cars, I thought of keeping a
car for three years is a stretch for me. I
did feel bad saying goodbye to Paupaul, though it heard.
Thank god they moved him. They took him, you know,
(13:14):
because you don't want to bump into your old girlfriend
when you're with your new one, you know, when you're
driving off. Yeah, so said Paul. Paul was looking out
the corner of the eye. Hey, who's that?
Speaker 4 (13:22):
What's that?
Speaker 8 (13:23):
He did?
Speaker 4 (13:24):
But he didn't he didn't have to, he didn't have
to watch me drive off. Oh my gosh, it was.
It was sad.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
And I'm telling you, I don't even know what. I
can't wait to hear what these talkbacks are saying. Because
we've never had this many this early in the show.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
The EV. Well look, yeah, Now, in my defense, I
would not buy an EV. I would lease an EV.
I mean, my least payment on this sixty thousand dollars
plus suv EV is less than I would Well, it
was less than the Nissan payment on my kid's car.
(13:59):
So you know, I want to save a little face
and credibility of it. Nope, but I'm loving it. I
may become like a Hi Michael ol Jordan reiding EV.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
I do see. I do love the way it drives.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I did see a commercial for the new Ford Scout,
which looked to be an EV as well.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
I did the Cadillact lyric.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
By the way, I don't want to be secretive about it, okay.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
But I mean that Scout did look sharp. I mean
it looks like an old Scout, but it looks electric.
And I was like, well, you know, that's kind of
a good looking vehicle right there.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
But I made the consumer choice. I wasn't culturally pressured
into it. I'd have to buy into the lie of
catastrophic man cause must be man controlled solved global warming.
I made the consumer choice and that's and I went
with a Detroit product. That's my U, that's my nod.
(14:54):
You all listening at the superstation in Detroit. Now the
Tigers could just you know, find a little Lextra hitting. Hey,
get over the hump.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
This year, I'll come up in my Cadillac and go
to a World Series game.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Proud owner of the Cadillac lyric ev the guys hooking
up the thing in the garage today, I'll tell you
you now if that ends up being over over six
seven hundred dollars to hook up right coming grape a
little bit tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Okay? Did I mention as Saint Patrick's day? From here?
I know I'd like to be referred to as Michael O'Dell. Sure,
and be gone.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Should call Michael odell when you use that talk back line.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I was speaking of awkward.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I ran into our old general manager from Cumulus at
the grocery store. Yeah, I was she she goes, I'm
so happy for you.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
I mean wow, I said, I am too. But it's
all God, I took the high road on that scene.
That's very nice of you. But that part about no
separance wasn't forgotten. I assure you.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
It's your Morning Show with Michael Del Chorno.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Michael, you got me nervous now. I'm a shy in
Saint John's dad and.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Your spots picks aren't the greatest you can drive.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
What do you want? Just don't make me do it, am.
Speaker 9 (16:11):
Yes, going ev does hurt your credibility. It shows that
you're weak, and it shows that your wife makes all
the decisions in your family. What you definitely didn't take
Dave Ramsey's uh advice on leasing, then you need to
go go listen to him speak on Lissy and Dave
(16:31):
Ramsey has done a hell of a lot.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Better than you. My wife has a guy and advice.
I'll take my life over Dave Ramseys.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Each haven't imagine and I beaten rice and beans in
a shack if I did everything he said. Come on
Moore after the news, I knew.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
I'd get it.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Hey, this is top Cop Kathy Henters and my morning

(17:24):
I'm sure hope you can join us live and make
us a part of your morning routine. In the meantime,
enjoy the podcast. Dozens are dead After a weekend of
wild weather swept across the South and the Midwest. President
Trump's special envoy to the Middle East says Russia and
Ukraine are very close to a deal to end the
war between the two countries, and thanks Elon Musk, a
pair of astronauts will finally be coming home.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
That's just some of the.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Top stories on the Saint Patrick's Day Monday to seventeenth
of March. You have our Lord twenty twenty five. And
may I say that was hurtful what John said.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Now we starting to.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Sound like Corey the Yard. I got a yard boy, redneck.
Speaker 7 (17:58):
You have.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
A jinx for everything Tennessee valls when I have nothing
to do with it. At our Christmas party, you saw
I rooted against Tennessee to try to jinx them into
a victory in football, and it didn't work. They still
got pounded by the Buckeyes. Then I came out and
taunted him with my buck eyed beads. That was a
whole other story, but you know that big Josh Shammita.
(18:23):
By the way, was that not beautiful? So speaking of
my wife, she loved the floor in Kansas City for
the Big twelve Championship. It was just the X and
two eyes for Roman numeral for twelve, just to infinity.
So the whole floor was like to it looked like
a really expensive designer purse.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Check that out.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
And it was black and white and gray, so it
was just really kind of high tech looking. And then
you go to Saint John's who was wrapping up their
Big East title first to twenty five years, and it
was like Madison Square Garden, the old school dark wood.
It was like, I don't know, there's some of us
ain't John. I do love them. I am rooting for him,
(19:04):
and I don't think they got a chance of winning
at all. I just like to see if there is
a way they can make it to the final four
at least I'd be happy. But you can't blame me
if they lose. I don't have nothing to you know,
my nickname was Mikey Mush. By the way, anything I
(19:25):
rooted for was mushed.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
It was over poles of plenty.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
We're gonna give these poles of plenty the headline, I've
fallen and I can't get up.
Speaker 10 (19:36):
I've fallen and I can't get up.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
The Democrat party favorability rating among Americans stands at its
record low. This is according to a CNN poll. By
the way, the best part of all of this is
when I'm giving you some of these numbers, especially with
the NBC poll before Chucky pulled the betrayal and didn't
stand in the way of the budget. So I suspect
these numbers are going to go even low now. But
(20:01):
follow this, it's not just about making fun of Democrats.
It's about understanding what's happening politically and what the next
move for the Democrats must be. All right, So among
the American public, this is overall, not just Democrats, this
is the American public as a whole. The Democrat Party's
favorability rating is at twenty nine percent, a record low
(20:24):
in CNN polling. Or as we would like to say.
Speaker 10 (20:26):
I've fallen and I can't get out.
Speaker 9 (20:30):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
The Republican parties rating currently stands at thirty six percent.
Don't be laughing too loud if you're a Republican. Both
parties are now showing a proclivity. I mean you got
about forty almost forty percent of the country now with
a low approval rating of both parties. Remember the Great
Noster Dell Journal's prediction one or both parties will be
gone by the end of the decade. I think that's
(20:53):
still in the brewing. Democrats and Democratic aligned independence say
fifty seven to forty two percent. The Democrats should mainly
work to stop the Republican agenda. So that's even starting
to look like a like a split brewing. But again,
(21:18):
there's a difference between being an opposing party and just
a pure obstructionist.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
I'm against this, I'm against anything.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
That Donald Trump does, no matter what, because I think
that's a ticket to failure. And the survey was taken
March sixth to the ninth, days before ten Democratic senators,
including it's minority leader Chuckie Schumer, sided with President Trump.
Democrat aligned adults these are the party themselves fifty two
(21:47):
to forty eight percent, the leadership of the Democrat Party
is currently taking the party in the wrong direction. So
now you have never mind America and its view of
our country going in the wrong direction when the Democrats
are in control of the White House. Now the Democrat
aligned adults, a majority of them say the leadership of
their party is taking the party in the wrong direction.
(22:13):
Just sixty three percent of Democrats and Democrat leaning independents
report a favorable view of their own party, a dip
from seventy two percent in January and.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Eighty one percent at the start of.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Joe Biden's administration. You know, of all the pendulums, you
could look at Black vote over the last twenty years,
Hispanic vote over the last twenty years, and then I might.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Put this third. That is breathtaking.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Democrats and Democrat leaning independents had a favorability view of
the Democrat Party of eighty one percent four years ago.
It's down to sixty three percent.
Speaker 10 (23:00):
They have I've fallen and I can get up.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
While Trump's standing is largely based on an overwhelming support
from within his own party, the Democrat Party now sits
at its lowest favorable rating in the history of NBC
News polling. So that was CNN, and now we go
to NBC. See if you see a trend. Just twenty
seven percent of registered voters view the party positively. Remember,
(23:27):
in the CNN poll it was just twenty nine percent
view the party favorable. In the NBC poll, twenty seven
percent view the party favorable. This is starting to look
like a solid trend and a view whether it's CNN
or NBC. The Democrat party has.
Speaker 10 (23:47):
I've fallen, I can get up.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
And that includes fifty nine percent of self identified Democrats
the NBC poll on the present it's approval. Probably the
best part of this poll is that more Americans are
seeing us on the right track, which is what I
want to zoom in on. But I'm not going to
shy away, So somebody accuses me of not telling you.
(24:14):
This has a fifty one percent disapproval rating for Trump
NBC forty seven percent approval rating. Remember, fifty is a
healthy presidency. Now, when I was a kid, seventy to
eighty was a healthy presidency. Which is far too divided
as a nation. So the president is still underwater according
to this poll by four percent. Meanwhile, more Americans say
(24:35):
the country is heading in the right direction than at
any point since two thousand and four.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
So what does that tell you Trump derangement?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
If it was anybody but Donald Trump doing these things,
do you think the approval rating would be forty seven percent?
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Forty four percent?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I think the country is heading in the right direction,
fifty four percent the wrong direction. The latest the last
NBC poll right direction, wrong direction was thirty one and
sixty four. So if we used to think the country
was heading in the wrong direction by sixty four percent,
now Donald Trump's president and it's only fifty four percent.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
What's the obvious exejeet there.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
They're liking the direction, but for half the country they
hate giving Trump the credit.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
But what is it scream?
Speaker 1 (25:36):
It screams that the Democrats are there's something They better
find out that America is liking.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
And stop obstructing it.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I think when it comes to border and border law enforcement,
they should get on board and be supportive. It looked
like a shameless flip flop for a while, but you
can't oppose it, and you're sure he can't obstruct against it.
I'm guessing it's the same for America.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
First.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I'm guessing it's the same for finding waste and corruption.
I know that can be in the eye of the
beholder depending on the day, but there are some things
the Democrat Party.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
And you'll see this in the Sounds of the Day.
Where was that.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Listener from that thinks I'm obsessed with Wes Moore because
he's in our Sounds of the Day and I didn't
pick up.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Oh, I don't remember. I had to go look that up.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
It doesn't matter, but he's and these are the things
he's talking about. And I think you'll see Ronnie Manuel
has already done it with education, enough with wokeness, enough
with the bathroom, enough with the locker room. Let's focus
on the classroom. There are certain things they better identify
that America has moved on from. If you continue to
(26:43):
major in minors and minor and majors, you're going to
continue to not hold power. And that's what these numbers show.
And again the question of the day is, if it
was anybody other than Donald Trump doing all these exact
same things, what would his approval rating be and what
would these right directions be Because for some they simply
(27:04):
can't give him any credit. It's a derangement syndrome. And
then the other obvious observation is.
Speaker 10 (27:09):
I've fallen and I can get up.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Well, let's just put it this way. The Democrats haven't
got up yet. We can leave it at that for
right now, all right, if you're just waking up, time
for your top five stories of the day. President Trump's
special envoy to the Middle East says Russia and Ukraine
are close to a deal to end the war Tammy
Trihila reports.
Speaker 11 (27:35):
Steve Whitcoff told CNN The State of the Union that
significant progress has been made during recent peace talks, repeating
President Trump's assertion that a deal could be close.
Speaker 7 (27:43):
The President uses the war uses the time frame weeks,
and I don't disagree with him.
Speaker 9 (27:49):
I am really hopeful that we're going to see some
real progress here.
Speaker 11 (27:53):
Witcoff stop short of discussing exactly what Russia's demands are
and which points still need negotiation, and President Zelenski has
already accepted the US back to CIEs fire proposal. I'm
tammage for he.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
President Trump's National security advisor says Iran is on notice
after recent US air strikes against Toothy rebels and Yemen.
Mike Waltz told Fox News the military launched devastating strikes
against the Iran back group. In response to the attacks
on global shipping in the Red Sea.
Speaker 7 (28:20):
We hit the hooty leadership, killing several of their key
leaders last night, their infrastructure the missiles.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Walt said, Trump will not tolerate hoothy threats, not like
Joe Biden did.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
But we're not going to do what the Biden administration
did in terms of this kind of pen prick back
and forth.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Starbucks has been ordered to pay up and another hot
beverage incident.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
This latest hot beverage scolding happened in Los Angeles out
a Starbucks. A delivery driver says he was scalded and
suffered permanent disfigurement to his lap area, including his groin
and thighs. Penetree of hot teas he bought at the
drive through collapsed in his lap. Michael Garcia sued, saying
he suffered permanent catastrophic harm. His attorney says store surveillance
(29:03):
showed the employee failed to properly secure the drink in
the cardboard carrier. It then fell directly into Garcia's lap,
and la jury awarded him fifty million dollars. Starbucks says
they're going to appeal. I'm Bree Tennis.
Speaker 1 (29:17):

The twenty twenty five iHeart Music Awards take place at
Adobe Theater in Los Angeles, with LL COOLJ as the host.
I'll never forget my mother in law. One time we
were watching television and a promo came out. I can't
remember what show he had.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Oh that's ll Jay.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
I love him and I was listening with some did
my mother's lawes quote a wrapper. New York is preparing
for the two hundred and sixty fourth annual Safe Patties

(32:03):
Josier is thirty five today. What's that song he does?
Speaker 4 (32:07):
No?
Speaker 6 (32:07):
No, none, A little bittle too much. Oh, I'm drawing
a blank. Oh I love that song. I didn't know
he was in Saint Patrick's day. He's from Ireland. Name
me some of his songs and then hit play.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
I've got too Sweet, no work song, No take Me
to Church.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
No, that's his biggest hit. Okay, someone new, someone new
hit someone new. Can you hit that?
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Let me tell you something. This is one of the
best records I heard in like thirty years. And I
love his voice. But you know, I have a proclivity
to love the blues. I grew up New Orleans so
jazz and blues.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
And this is the video. Well skip forward then, but
you're gonna yeah see this.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
I'd like to make this a rejoint just as a
tribute to being one of my favorite songs, but I
don't think it goes very long.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
That voice. We've already got this. Yeah, we do have this.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Who I was steps that? I rany.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
I had no idea he was from Ireland, black thing
that and I watched too many Gene Hacker movies. I
used to call him boosher, but I think it's hozier. Yeah,
thirty five years old today, Rob Low is sixty one,
soccer grate Mia Ham fifty three, and from the movie Miracle,
Curt and Russ all seventy four years old today to
it's your birthday, Happy birthday. We are so glad you
were born, and thanks for waking up with your morning show.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
That's your top five stories of the day. This is
your morning show with Michael del Trono.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
I am Michael O'Dell. I'm this Saint Patty's day. Can't
have your morning show without your voice. Let's start with
Lindsey listening to WLAC in Nashville.
Speaker 12 (33:41):
You can't beat a Tesla for an electric vehicle. Those
suckers will fly. But I've never understood why they were
mandating strictly an ev why not hybrids? Not mandating even those?
But I think a hybrid would be a very good alternative.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Your thoughts on that, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
We'll have to ask Dave Ramsey. I'm just kidding. I
don't want the government mandating anything. I believe in free market.
If I will, I understand where you're coming from. I
would have thought that the hybrids would have been the
naturalized solution by the free market. But the government shouldn't
(34:22):
be mandating or you know, incentivizing anything. They should let
the free market habits way. If you want an electric card, great,
don't great? Oh Big John's back. Maybe he's happy, Thank you?
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Now I feel a long lol lol.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Why does that just not work with Big John? You're
too gruff to use or speak emojis? But yes, that's
Big John. Afraid that I'm going to mush his Saint John,
and I'm convinced he still calls him the Redmond.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
We're all in this together. This is Your Morning Show

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Three, starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
This is your morning show with Michael gel Trump.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
App feeling a wee bittie ish today, Saint Patrick's Day, Monday,
the seventeenth of March.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
You have our Lord twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Thanks for raking up with your morning show on the
Aaron streaming live on your iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Humbly, I am here to serve you.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I am Michael as Jeffrey with the sound I Ratt
wearing red, keeping an eye on the content.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Which, by the way, the poles of plenty are amazing.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
We've been doing the poll usually my wife over here
is nonsense in here. We've actually been having a serious
discussion about these polls. They're absolutely amazing about America's view.
Are we heading in the right direction? Wrong direction? The
Democrats view of their own party, which is collapsing. And
the obvious way to turn it around is find out
(01:24):
what things even Democrats think are heading in the right
direction and stop fighting them. I would think the border
would be the big one I've read. I know you've
consumed this as much as I have. I would think
the border is a big one. I wonder though, and
right now you'd have to almost discern it rather than
prove it.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
If there's a little bit of this.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
You know what, because I see a sentiment against both parties,
to be honest with you, when both parties only add
up to an approval rating of fifty four percent, at
some point America is ready to move on from this
two party system, or at least this two party divide
us all. And so we're going to go inside these numbers.
But what they possibly reveal is as fascinating as what
(02:05):
they've obviously revealed. Dozens of storms over the weekend it
was wild weather. Missouri paid the highest price with twelve deaths.
Mississippi was six Oklahoma with four Arkansas, with three Texas
with four nasty nasty stuff, and we had it here
in Tennessee. Most of ours was just you know, localized flooding,
(02:27):
but pretty nasty weather over the weekend. I guess they
won't say this out loud, but thanks to Elon and SpaceX,
Butch and Sunny will be heading home soon they rendezvous
at the space station. Trump has voided all of Biden's pardons.
This goes back to that auto pen revelation. And we
said on the day it was revealed, I mean, never
(02:48):
mind the comparisons to the movie Dave who has been
running the country, But with these auto pen signatures stand
up in court, and if they don't, there's a lot
of things the auto signed, and many people have this impressed. Well,
they had to be towards the end when things were
really No from the very beginning he was using auto pen.
Perhaps from the very beginning he was never really running
(03:11):
this country. Trump's Special envoy to the Middle East says
Russia and Ukraine are close to a deal to end
the war between the two countries. Can't wait to talk
about that with our White House correspondent John Decker, who
wasn't very optimistic heading into the weekend.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Donald Trump does.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
This, got the budgets off, Now you get onto the
tax cuts. This guy's done in the first sixty days.
He's done. I hate he could just start campaigning, I
guess for the midterm. But at all he would do
is sit and wait for his Nobel Peace Prize for
stopping this war. And the NCAA tournament field has been revealed.
(03:54):
I gotta tell you, for my friends listening in both
Memphis and Nashville, I like the balls get a cakewalk
virtually to the Elite eight with their placement. So they'll
start with Wolford, then they play the winner of Utah
State UCLA, and really only the aligne I stand between
(04:16):
them and the Elite eight. That's a pretty good route
to my friends listening on the superstation in Detroit. Could
Michigan State have gotten a better placement. Michigan State will
start against Bryant, then they'll play the winner of New
Mexico and Marquette, and then even then the toughest team
(04:37):
and there's a lot of questions whether it be Iowa
State or Ole miss Either way, Michigan State with the
cake walk to the Elite eight. Now once they get
to the lead eight, I suspect it's Auburn and Michigan
waiting for him. Michigan got pretty good placement too, although
they'll face Auburn when they make it to the Sweet sixteen.
Other than that, Saint John's I think stole a lot
(04:59):
of people's hearts over the weekend. First time in twenty
five years they won the Big East and they get
a number two seed, and it's just kind of, you know,
the Big when I was growing up Saint John's, Seaton Hall, Georgetown, Providence.
I'm trying to think of the dominant Syracuse, the dominant
(05:20):
teams out of the Big East that no longer simply exists.
A record fourteen teams from the SEC make it to
the Big Dance. I was, I was very curious how
they would do this. I can see Auburn, they are
the number one overall seed making it to the final four.
(05:43):
It's going to be and it's possible that Florida, who
I thought, out of everybody in the SEC tournament, just
from start to finish, looked the best. If Florida should
come out of the West Regional, Auburn out of the
South regional. There's an All SEC semi final Alabama, who
(06:04):
is a very good two seed. I don't think this
is likely to happen. I don't think Duke's gonna miss
much of a beat. But if Bama or even Tennessee
for that matter, would have to get by Houston, that
would be difficult. But you have a you have a
chance of an All SEC Final four, which I think
would be a disaster for college basketball. What an All
(06:25):
SEC final four? It'll be like an SEC tournament. It's
not our fault. It's not our fault. We earned it.
You're awful touchy and you're a Kentucky fan.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Aren't you. Yeah, well you're not gonna be there. We'll
be out and round two. Isn't it fun?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
But you know, I actually think, you know, I think
Super Bowls lost a little bit of its luster, although commercials.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Made it comeback this year.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
We can all agree March Madness is still the one
that's universal in my home. Doesn't matter boys, girls, everybody
fills out a bracket. Let the fun begin. I think
Florida is a very dangerous team. I really do. Uh,
I'm looking for sleepers. Saint John's has somehow stole my heart.
Oh you gotta you know, not so great. They got
(07:13):
to start right off the bat with Yukon, and then
even if they beat Yukon, they got to play Florida.
That's a really tough seed they got. But Saint John's
coming out of the West until they get to the
Elite eight, Saint John's got a pretty easy road. That
could be excited that maybe my sleeper team Saint John's.
I'm a sleeper at number two seed. I don't think
(07:35):
we're gonna have I don't sense a lot of surprises.
I was looking for my you know, my famous twelve
over fives, and they just don't, you know, look all
that favorable to me, because that would mean Liberty has
to beat Crayton. I don't think that's gonna happen. Who's
the twelve versus five. McNeice could knock off Clemson, but
(08:02):
even that's a stretch. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's
a tough year when your sleeper is a two seed,
say Johns. That's how that's how predictable this one might be.
But that's why we played the games. I went ev
over the weekend, I went electric. No way, do you
think this hurts my that's our question for the talkback.
Does me going EV hurt my credibility? What do you
(08:24):
mean you went ev? I purchased an electric Knockle for
the first time ever, and not only do I love it.
It has nothing to do with the politics, has nothing
to do with the climate. I mean just it's the
power every It just drives better and quiet, and I'm
(08:47):
loving it like rams electric golf carts. Right, I mean
all you hear is the tires just kind of move. Well, No,
it's just a It's just a great car. I love
it had everything. The only reason I got rid of
my car was because it didn't have heads up display.
I really think that ought to be standard now. Probably
needed an oil change. No, No one that bad, But
(09:08):
I I just I was thinking about one. And then,
you know, I just couldn't fit right in the seat
feel you know, the ceial didn't feel I don't know,
I just didn't feel comfortable, Okay, And so I walked
by this one and I sit in and I go, now,
this one, this, this field, this is incredible.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
This is everything I'm looking for. Red, I feel an
intervention coming on.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
No One.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
The guy goes, well, this one's electric.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
You know, and I was like ooh, And then I
did the most crazy thing.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
I said, well, let's just take it for a ride. Yeah,
and then that one was it.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
But at the end of the day it had everything
but heads up displayed.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
So I'm still don't have my head's up display. Doesn't
really make a difference. It's going to be gone in
three months. Oh stop it.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
By the way, we gotta have lunch this week, so
you red is of the theory that every second lunch
there's a different car.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
I'll never have to I'm over my addition.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Ask me why I'm over my addiction.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
And how I got over How were you over your
at least?
Speaker 1 (10:02):
So I've come to grips with they are depreciating worthless things,
so why pay for all that? And the residual level
in this was very high, which means you pay for
a very little of the vehicle in the lease. It
was a very very very wonderful vehicle for a very
low price. And boom, I don't have worry about tires.
I don't have to worry about, you know, constantly getting
sick of car every three years. I'll just get a
(10:24):
new one. But I think I'm gonna be electric for
a while. I actually really like So now we've said
this conservatively for a long time. I don't If you
want an electric car, go for it. Well guess what
I just did. No, I still have four other gas
but just in case I have to make a getaway
after an EMP.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
What do you still.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
Like it?
Speaker 7 (10:44):
Like?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
What was the movie?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I loved a Red Dawn? Remember the little the kids
are taking on? How do you how do you handle
the charging? Do you just drop yourself one of them
extension cords? Okay, so my my big spiel against electric
was always it being mandated, forced and incentivized. If the
if you put it out there on a fair playing
(11:07):
field and consumers choose it, that's another thing. Infrastructure, of course,
has improved, thank to eat thanks to Elon Musk and
Elon Musk cooperating with all the others, so they've cut
some deals. Elone has cut some deals with Detroit so
you can use their charging stations. But all right, So
the other thing was what you have to do at
home to prepare? And then I used to say, and
how long you buy a vehicle for me? If we're
(11:29):
going to have a serious conversation, would I buy an
electric vehicle. No, I did not buy an electric vehicle,
but I would lease one for three years, So that
takes away a bunch of the negatives. And then the
other negative is what do you have to do in
your garage? So they have these charging stations that you
hook up. They're like six hundred ninety bucks, seven hundred bucks,
(11:49):
and then you got to pay the guy, depending on
where your electric is, you know, five hundred or or
a little bit more.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
To hook it up.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
So you got about a twelve hundred dollars investment and
then you're never paying gas again.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
I still don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
You know, the price differentials are coming back, the maintenance
differentials are not, and the replacement costs for the batteries
has not changed much. So I still wouldn't buy an EV,
but I would wisely lease one to.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Church on Sunday anyway. So I don't you got that much.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I don't like like they were, like you sure ten
thousands could be enough because it'd be like fifteen fifteen
cents of mom. I never leave the house. I go
to lunch with Red. What's he doing? Red looks uncomfortable, man,
he just he's fidgeting. Now, I'm a liberal not because
I have an electric vehicle. You freak you, and I
thought you'd be in a good mood with Saint John's winning.
(12:41):
I just don't think you can keep a car for
three well, I have.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
To charge it once and then I don't.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Think you could early release the lease, can't you.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
I mean, I think I never find out that funny.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I could take on a wife forever and it doesn't
caused me any anxiety. It's the thrill and of my life.
But but he's right, cars, I thought of keeping a
car for three years is a stretch for me. I
did feel bad saying goodbye to Paupaul, though it heard.
Thank god they moved him. They took him, you know,
(13:14):
because you don't want to bump into your old girlfriend
when you're with your new one, you know, when you're
driving off. Yeah, so said Paul. Paul was looking out
the corner of the eye. Hey, who's that?
Speaker 4 (13:22):
What's that?
Speaker 8 (13:23):
He did?
Speaker 4 (13:24):
But he didn't he didn't have to, he didn't have
to watch me drive off. Oh my gosh, it was.
It was sad.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
And I'm telling you, I don't even know what. I
can't wait to hear what these talkbacks are saying. Because
we've never had this many this early in the show.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
The EV. Well look, yeah, Now, in my defense, I
would not buy an EV. I would lease an EV.
I mean, my least payment on this sixty thousand dollars
plus suv EV is less than I would Well, it
was less than the Nissan payment on my kid's car.
(13:59):
So you know, I want to save a little face
and credibility of it. Nope, but I'm loving it. I
may become like a Hi Michael ol Jordan reiding EV.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
I do see. I do love the way it drives.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I did see a commercial for the new Ford Scout,
which looked to be an EV as well.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
I did the Cadillact lyric.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
By the way, I don't want to be secretive about it, okay.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
But I mean that Scout did look sharp. I mean
it looks like an old Scout, but it looks electric.
And I was like, well, you know, that's kind of
a good looking vehicle right there.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
But I made the consumer choice. I wasn't culturally pressured
into it. I'd have to buy into the lie of
catastrophic man cause must be man controlled solved global warming.
I made the consumer choice and that's and I went
with a Detroit product. That's my U, that's my nod.
(14:54):
You all listening at the superstation in Detroit. Now the
Tigers could just you know, find a little Lextra hitting. Hey,
get over the hump.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
This year, I'll come up in my Cadillac and go

wild weather swept across the South and the Midwest. President
Trump's special envoy to the Middle East says Russia and
Ukraine are very close to a deal to end the
war between the two countries, and thanks Elon Musk, a
pair of astronauts will finally be coming home.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
That's just some of the.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Top stories on the Saint Patrick's Day Monday to seventeenth
of March. You have our Lord twenty twenty five. And
may I say that was hurtful what John said.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Now we starting to.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Sound like Corey the Yard. I got a yard boy, redneck.
Speaker 7 (17:58):
You have.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
A jinx for everything Tennessee valls when I have nothing
to do with it. At our Christmas party, you saw
I rooted against Tennessee to try to jinx them into
a victory in football, and it didn't work. They still
got pounded by the Buckeyes. Then I came out and
taunted him with my buck eyed beads. That was a
whole other story, but you know that big Josh Shammita.
(18:23):
By the way, was that not beautiful? So speaking of
my wife, she loved the floor in Kansas City for
the Big twelve Championship. It was just the X and
two eyes for Roman numeral for twelve, just to infinity.
So the whole floor was like to it looked like
a really expensive designer purse.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Check that out.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
And it was black and white and gray, so it
was just really kind of high tech looking. And then
you go to Saint John's who was wrapping up their
Big East title first to twenty five years, and it
was like Madison Square Garden, the old school dark wood.
It was like, I don't know, there's some of us
ain't John. I do love them. I am rooting for him,
(19:04):
and I don't think they got a chance of winning
at all. I just like to see if there is
a way they can make it to the final four
at least I'd be happy. But you can't blame me
if they lose. I don't have nothing to you know,
my nickname was Mikey Mush. By the way, anything I
(19:25):
rooted for was mushed.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
It was over poles of plenty.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
We're gonna give these poles of plenty the headline, I've
fallen and I can't get up.
Speaker 10 (19:36):
I've fallen and I can't get up.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
The Democrat party favorability rating among Americans stands at its
record low. This is according to a CNN poll. By
the way, the best part of all of this is
when I'm giving you some of these numbers, especially with
the NBC poll before Chucky pulled the betrayal and didn't
stand in the way of the budget. So I suspect
these numbers are going to go even low now. But
(20:01):
follow this, it's not just about making fun of Democrats.
It's about understanding what's happening politically and what the next
move for the Democrats must be. All right, So among
the American public, this is overall, not just Democrats, this
is the American public as a whole. The Democrat Party's
favorability rating is at twenty nine percent, a record low
(20:24):
in CNN polling. Or as we would like to say.
Speaker 10 (20:26):
I've fallen and I can't get out.
Speaker 9 (20:30):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
The Republican parties rating currently stands at thirty six percent.
Don't be laughing too loud if you're a Republican. Both
parties are now showing a proclivity. I mean you got
about forty almost forty percent of the country now with
a low approval rating of both parties. Remember the Great
Noster Dell Journal's prediction one or both parties will be
gone by the end of the decade. I think that's
(20:53):
still in the brewing. Democrats and Democratic aligned independence say
fifty seven to forty two percent. The Democrats should mainly
work to stop the Republican agenda. So that's even starting
to look like a like a split brewing. But again,
(21:18):
there's a difference between being an opposing party and just
a pure obstructionist.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
I'm against this, I'm against anything.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
That Donald Trump does, no matter what, because I think
that's a ticket to failure. And the survey was taken
March sixth to the ninth, days before ten Democratic senators,
including it's minority leader Chuckie Schumer, sided with President Trump.
Democrat aligned adults these are the party themselves fifty two
(21:47):
to forty eight percent, the leadership of the Democrat Party
is currently taking the party in the wrong direction. So
now you have never mind America and its view of
our country going in the wrong direction when the Democrats
are in control of the White House. Now the Democrat
aligned adults, a majority of them say the leadership of
their party is taking the party in the wrong direction.
(22:13):
Just sixty three percent of Democrats and Democrat leaning independents
report a favorable view of their own party, a dip
from seventy two percent in January and.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Eighty one percent at the start of.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Joe Biden's administration. You know, of all the pendulums, you
could look at Black vote over the last twenty years,
Hispanic vote over the last twenty years, and then I might.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Put this third. That is breathtaking.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Democrats and Democrat leaning independents had a favorability view of
the Democrat Party of eighty one percent four years ago.
It's down to sixty three percent.
Speaker 10 (23:00):
They have I've fallen and I can get up.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
While Trump's standing is largely based on an overwhelming support
from within his own party, the Democrat Party now sits
at its lowest favorable rating in the history of NBC
News polling. So that was CNN, and now we go
to NBC. See if you see a trend. Just twenty
seven percent of registered voters view the party positively. Remember,
(23:27):
in the CNN poll it was just twenty nine percent
view the party favorable. In the NBC poll, twenty seven
percent view the party favorable. This is starting to look
like a solid trend and a view whether it's CNN
or NBC. The Democrat party has.
Speaker 10 (23:47):
I've fallen, I can get up.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
And that includes fifty nine percent of self identified Democrats
the NBC poll on the present it's approval. Probably the
best part of this poll is that more Americans are
seeing us on the right track, which is what I
want to zoom in on. But I'm not going to
shy away, So somebody accuses me of not telling you.
(24:14):
This has a fifty one percent disapproval rating for Trump
NBC forty seven percent approval rating. Remember, fifty is a
healthy presidency. Now, when I was a kid, seventy to
eighty was a healthy presidency. Which is far too divided
as a nation. So the president is still underwater according
to this poll by four percent. Meanwhile, more Americans say
(24:35):
the country is heading in the right direction than at
any point since two thousand and four.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
So what does that tell you Trump derangement?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
If it was anybody but Donald Trump doing these things,
do you think the approval rating would be forty seven percent?
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Forty four percent?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I think the country is heading in the right direction,
fifty four percent the wrong direction. The latest the last
NBC poll right direction, wrong direction was thirty one and
sixty four. So if we used to think the country
was heading in the wrong direction by sixty four percent,
now Donald Trump's president and it's only fifty four percent.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
What's the obvious exejeet there.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
They're liking the direction, but for half the country they
hate giving Trump the credit.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
But what is it scream?
Speaker 1 (25:36):
It screams that the Democrats are there's something They better
find out that America is liking.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
And stop obstructing it.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I think when it comes to border and border law enforcement,
they should get on board and be supportive. It looked
like a shameless flip flop for a while, but you
can't oppose it, and you're sure he can't obstruct against it.
I'm guessing it's the same for America.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
First.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I'm guessing it's the same for finding waste and corruption.
I know that can be in the eye of the
beholder depending on the day, but there are some things
the Democrat Party.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
And you'll see this in the Sounds of the Day.
Where was that.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Listener from that thinks I'm obsessed with Wes Moore because
he's in our Sounds of the Day and I didn't
pick up.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Oh, I don't remember. I had to go look that up.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
It doesn't matter, but he's and these are the things
he's talking about. And I think you'll see Ronnie Manuel
has already done it with education, enough with wokeness, enough
with the bathroom, enough with the locker room. Let's focus
on the classroom. There are certain things they better identify
that America has moved on from. If you continue to
(26:43):
major in minors and minor and majors, you're going to
continue to not hold power. And that's what these numbers show.
And again the question of the day is, if it
was anybody other than Donald Trump doing all these exact
same things, what would his approval rating be and what
would these right directions be Because for some they simply
(27:04):
can't give him any credit. It's a derangement syndrome. And
then the other obvious observation is.
Speaker 10 (27:09):
I've fallen and I can get up.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Well, let's just put it this way. The Democrats haven't
got up yet. We can leave it at that for
right now, all right, if you're just waking up, time
for your top five stories of the day. President Trump's
special envoy to the Middle East says Russia and Ukraine
are close to a deal to end the war Tammy
Trihila reports.
Speaker 11 (27:35):
Steve Whitcoff told CNN The State of the Union that
significant progress has been made during recent peace talks, repeating
President Trump's assertion that a deal could be close.
Speaker 7 (27:43):
The President uses the war uses the time frame weeks,
and I don't disagree with him.
Speaker 9 (27:49):
I am really hopeful that we're going to see some
real progress here.
Speaker 11 (27:53):
Witcoff stop short of discussing exactly what Russia's demands are
and which points still need negotiation, and President Zelenski has
already accepted the US back to CIEs fire proposal. I'm
tammage for he.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
President Trump's National security advisor says Iran is on notice
after recent US air strikes against Toothy rebels and Yemen.
Mike Waltz told Fox News the military launched devastating strikes
against the Iran back group. In response to the attacks
on global shipping in the Red Sea.
Speaker 7 (28:20):
We hit the hooty leadership, killing several of their key
leaders last night, their infrastructure the missiles.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Walt said, Trump will not tolerate hoothy threats, not like
Joe Biden did.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
But we're not going to do what the Biden administration
did in terms of this kind of pen prick back
and forth.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Starbucks has been ordered to pay up and another hot
beverage incident.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
This latest hot beverage scolding happened in Los Angeles out
a Starbucks. A delivery driver says he was scalded and
suffered permanent disfigurement to his lap area, including his groin
and thighs. Penetree of hot teas he bought at the
drive through collapsed in his lap. Michael Garcia sued, saying
he suffered permanent catastrophic harm. His attorney says store surveillance
(29:03):
showed the employee failed to properly secure the drink in
the cardboard carrier. It then fell directly into Garcia's lap,
and la jury awarded him fifty million dollars. Starbucks says
they're going to appeal. I'm Bree Tennis.

Speaker 12 (33:41):
You can't beat a Tesla for an electric vehicle. Those
suckers will fly. But I've never understood why they were
mandating strictly an ev why not hybrids? Not mandating even those?
But I think a hybrid would be a very good alternative.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Your thoughts on that, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
We'll have to ask Dave Ramsey. I'm just kidding. I
don't want the government mandating anything. I believe in free market.
If I will, I understand where you're coming from. I
would have thought that the hybrids would have been the
naturalized solution by the free market. But the government shouldn't
(34:22):
be mandating or you know, incentivizing anything. They should let
the free market habits way. If you want an electric card, great,
don't great? Oh Big John's back. Maybe he's happy, Thank you?
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Now I feel a long lol lol.
Speaker 1 (34:38):

too gruff to use or speak emojis? But yes, that's
