Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael. We'd love to have you listen every
weekday morning to your morning show live, even take us
along with you on the drive to work. We can
be heard on great radio stations like one oh four
nine The Patriot in Saint Louis, Our Talk Radio ninety
eight point three and fifteen ten WLAC and Nashville and
News Talk five fifty k FYI and Phoenix, Arizona. Love
to be a part of your morning routine, but we're

(00:20):
always grateful you're here.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Now. Enjoy the podcast starting your morning off right. A
new way of talk, a new way of understanding.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Because we're in the studis this is your morning show
with Michael Deil Truman.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Hey, Patrick's Day, twenty twenty five, Monday, March is seventeenth,
seven minutes after the hour. Thanks for waking up with
your morning show. I love co hosting this show with you.
Here's Roger and Sacramento Morning and Michael.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
I have a question for you.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
I have been thinking about it for a long time.
It seems like in much of your commentary you're defending
the Democratic Party, or at least not really defending, but
trying to advise them what to do to get better.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
I'm gonna have a hard time forgiven.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
I'm I try to figure out why you have that perspective,
and I've come up with my mind that maybe you're
thinking that we need at least two parties, but I
can't see how it could be that one it's it's
got to be just gone and then some other form
of the second party.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
What a great question, Roger, and thanks for the opportunity
to clarify. No, I don't root for the Democrat Party
by platform. Everything they stand for is anathetical to what
I believe. I will say, the sooner we stop fighting
over self evident truths, or the sooner we stop playing
this us versus them. I mean, think of everything Donald

(01:38):
Trump has led into reality with everything against him, every
K through twelve classroom, the intelligency of higher education, everybody
in the entertainment and music business, every newspaper say for magazine, ABC, NBCCBSCNN, MSNBC,

(02:04):
all against them. Well, that's remarkable, and there's going to
be very few other people other than Donald Trump that
can achieve that. So the sooner we get clear on
self evident truths, and the sooner we get beyond just
us versus them, and stop fighting over things. Imagine what

(02:24):
this country could do if it was united with only
minor differences as it once was. That'd be a wonderful thing.
I think Donald Trump, I think, actually, I actually think
the Reagan Revolution, the Tea Party movement, and trump Ism
have all combined to become something completely different than the

(02:46):
Republican Party. So you could make a case that moving forward,
the Republican Party has changed and changed forever. Therefore, the
old Republican Party has gone. Mainly, what I'm describing to
you is why the Democrat Party is losing and why
they're about to lose beyond the point of losing to extinction.

(03:09):
I think we're going to be better when we're not
a two party system, and I think we're headed to
being a one party system. And I don't eve think
that one party is the same party it used to be.
But no, not defending, not rooting for at all, just
describing their demise. Ten after the Hour. Chris Walker is
a Republican consultant. Analyty joins us every Monday as a contributor.

(03:30):
And you know, Chris, before we move on to the
Democrat candidates, your thoughts on that, I mean, you know,
sometimes when I'm analyzing why the Democrats are losing what
they should do and continue to refuse to do, that's
going to lead to their extinction. That's certainly not rooting
for them or advising them on what to do. And
they won't do it, will they. I Mean, there's a
meme today that says, when you see the left setting

(03:54):
Tesla's on fire, there's your proof that they don't care
about the environment. It's always been about control and and
and so if they if they compromise in any way
or they pivot in any way, I mean, I keep
saying this, I don't think people know what to make
of it. If they do make these pivots and there's
suddenly for border security, there's suddenly for less taxation, there's

(04:15):
suddenly four piece through Stent, Well, what the hell are
they then?

Speaker 2 (04:18):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 5 (04:20):
Yeah, good morning, Michael.

Speaker 6 (04:21):
You know, I remember these conversations, you know, after nine
to eleven in the early two thousands, where Carl Road
was talking about, you know, a permanent Republican majority, and
it was a different Republican party back then on different
principles for Trump. But you know, I feel like these
things continue to kind of swing I just what's happening
today won't be what happens in five years.

Speaker 5 (04:42):
I think the.

Speaker 6 (04:43):
Party parties evolve around who their leader is and who
you know, we're trying to elect, and that's just always
been the case and always will be. I think the
true north stars conservative principles and who best espouses those.
Right now, Trump's espousing them because you know, you think
a lot of the principles of conservatism and putting rocketpel
to them, which is great. But you know, I think

(05:06):
Democrats will learn and pivot. They that's just the natural
art of politics. People want to win, and if they
want to win, they've got to see where people are going.
And I just I think they're going to adopt more
principles that are more conservative. I mean, that's what Bill
Clinton did in nineteen ninety two and they had, you know,
two terms and you know a lot of success politically.
So Democrats, Gavin Newsom is learning that others are trying
to do that now.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
And by the way, that took you, that took twelve
that took twelve years. Just for the record, Jimmy Carter
was so bad. You had eight years of Breagan, four
years of H. W. Bush and then they were lucky
enough to come across a charismatic figure like Bill Clinton
that could convince everybody he was the more sensible new
way forward. And I don't even know if they got

(05:48):
a Bill Clinton in the horizon, you know, let alone
a Ronald Reagan. I want to go over these numbers
with you. Among the American public. Now, this is the
American public. Overall, the Democrat Party's favorability has fallen to
twenty seven percent. It's even lower were in an NBC poll.
But that's according to CNM. That's a drop of twenty
points since two thousand and one. And then their view
from Democrats has also fallen. And then the view of

(06:11):
even the overall nation right direction, wrong direction has increased
ten percent towards right direction. I mean, at some point,
don't the Democrats have to abandon wokeness. Don't they have
to abandon open borders among other issues. I mean, you
can't keep playing that card. America has moved on Dot
org well, I mean yeah, but they're not learning their lesson.

(06:33):
Look at AOC, look at Jason Crockett. I mean, those
are the ones that are getting the most headlines and
they're you know, their headline attracted detention seekers, and so
they're they're following that that thing. Look at the boss
that they took Chuck Shumer in last year to you know,
kind of trying to push a German shutdown that they
didn't have the vost for.

Speaker 5 (06:51):
So, you know, across the.

Speaker 6 (06:51):
Board, the Democrats are continually being led by the you know,
the Twitter addie and the far left rather than you know,
their own kind of more tooral prospects. So you know,
definitely something that I hope they continue to do. But
you know, I think again looking at Gavin Newsom, this
is a guy who's having Republicans on his podcast because
he wants to try to change his image and he
knows he asked to if he's going to try to win.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
So I'm in Sounds of the Day, we had Van
Jones talking about how the new boogeyman is Chucky Schumer.
So they won't go after Trump, They'll go after Elon Mosk.
Now the Democrats are going to go after their own
and Chuckie Schumer for not obstructing and shutting things down.
The same weekend, you have Rommy Manuel making it clear

(07:36):
he's going to run, and Wes Moore is on meet
the Press, basically saying that would have destroyed Maryland jobs
if we just shut the government down, destroyed the credit rating.
There's a more sensible way, and we got to you know,
we got to pivot and articulate that pivot and our
ideas on behalf of the American people. I'm sorry, I'm
just too cynical and have too good of a memory.

(07:58):
Rommy Manuel was pivot it old to the Obama administration
and design strategy election that is, a chief of staff,
a disastrous mirror in Chicago. But now he's positioning himself
as the sensible Democrat. Enough with the wokeness, enough with
the bathroom in the locker room, Let's focus on the classroom.
Here's Wes Moore being a sensible Democrat. I'm beginning to think,

(08:19):
never mind mayor Pete, never mind Gavin Newssen in some
of these other names. I think who's really running the
Democrat Party is going to be feeding us Romi Manuel
and Wes Moore.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Do you think I'm wrong?

Speaker 6 (08:31):
No, I think you're I think you're exactly right. But
I think again, it's up to us to remain visual
and remind people who they are. You know, a lot
of I'm reading a lot of five year COVID stories now.

Speaker 7 (08:40):
And you know, again, at the time you and I.

Speaker 6 (08:42):
Were talking about, I mean, we knew before many that
you know, a lot of stuff that we were seeing
in the news was just horse hockey in since you know,
we're seeing it from Ram and Manuel and Gavin Newsom
and Wes Moore and others, that they're completely hiding who
they really are in the effort to try to you know,
kind of lie to the public, to try to convince
people at they're monerate. We know they're not, and people
are going to have to stand up and say, like,

(09:03):
this is your record. You can't run away from it.
You can tell us these things now, but we know
who you really are. You guys were the first to
lock down. You guys are the first to embrace trench chindroism.
You guys are the first to protect government workers at
the stake of a private economy. And so you know,
that's why the Democrats continue to be in a bad position,
not because of what they're trying to be, because what

(09:24):
we know who.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
They are throughout and so you can.

Speaker 7 (09:27):
Putlistick on a pig, but it's not going to change who.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
They really are.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
So if that's who they really are, how do you
see them existing beyond this decade. I mean, I think
they're a fringe party at best by the end of
the decade.

Speaker 6 (09:39):
I just I think generally people have short memories, short
attention spans, and if somebody, I mean, look, Barack obamam
was looked at as a moderate, I mean you not
both know that he was not. He never was, and
you know, he was a John Podesta led you know,
it's probably.

Speaker 7 (09:55):
One of the most reckless presidents in our history after
you know, Joe.

Speaker 5 (09:58):
Biden kind of took a take on that one.

Speaker 6 (09:59):
But you know, let's not forget these are this is
a country that doesn't fall politics in day out. Usually,
you know, try to leave their lives thinking about the economy,
and if the economy starts going bad, they're going.

Speaker 5 (10:09):
To blame the people in charge and pivot.

Speaker 6 (10:12):
And so if you're the Democrats, you're going to want
to be in a position to have a voice that
isn't so crazy that people be willing to listen to
you when they're upset, when they're prowin k drops. So
you know, there's a lot of things that have to
happen there. But I think that's what they're trying.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
To do for well, you know, one of their challenges.

Speaker 7 (10:28):
But I think there's a lot.

Speaker 5 (10:29):
Of things we need to do.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Chris Walker joining us for a weekly visit one of
their big challenges. From a historic perspective, they've always had
inner city They've always had campus voting. That's all changed.
I mean, the anti cop, open border, COVID control, that homelessness,
this is all rotted out for them in the inner cities.

(10:51):
We saw it in Chicago, We saw it in New York.
In New York where a mayor got it and the
people didn't. In Chicago where the people got it and
the mayor didn't. I think this looks much different than
before Bill Clinton or Barack Obama came along. They don't
have the inner city support they have. They don't have
the Hispanic vote that they used to have. They don't
have the the ninety five percent of the black vote
that they used to always have.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
I don't know. I would.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
I see them as a party that is losing and
about to die. Whether or not they can avoid death,
I don't know. But at the current rate, they can't
avoid keep losing.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
That's for sure.

Speaker 5 (11:28):
I hope you're right. But look at look at you.

Speaker 6 (11:30):
You and I both live in Nashville, and look at
the city council that's in Nashville right now.

Speaker 5 (11:34):
They are the most.

Speaker 6 (11:35):
Far left, crazy politicians you will ever see that's.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
In a rest state that doesn't have any that doesn't
have any effect whatsoever. I mean, I'm talking about, how
do you control the country if you can't dominate San Francisco,
Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, these event Philadelphia, these Atlanta.
These have been the lynch pins for them to steal
elections or to have a shot, and the issues have

(12:01):
rotted them out at their last stronghold, the urban inner
city at levels.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
I don't know that I would go to Nashville.

Speaker 6 (12:07):
I guess well, I mean, I guess My point is,
I think they still have that. It may not be
ninety five percent, but I still think it's ninety percent.
So you know, there's a lot of work there that
still needs to be done. I think our cities are
still failures in part because of the radical left.

Speaker 5 (12:21):
That's running them.

Speaker 7 (12:21):
I mean, the sst prosecutors and everybody else.

Speaker 6 (12:23):
Are still there, and so there's a lot of work
that needs to be done there. I don't think that
that's conquered territory yet. That's that's what I was trying
to say.

Speaker 5 (12:31):
I think, I think you're right.

Speaker 6 (12:32):
I think the movement is going the right direction, but
there's a long way to go for our cities.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Closing Moments of Republican consultant analyst Chris Walker, our weekly contributor.
Of the names that have come forward, Ronnie Manuel is here,
all right, so that's not my Nostreudell journer anymore. He's
making it clear he's running for president. Wes Moore is
suddenly appearing, but he hasn't made it clear. Mayor Pete's
all but made it clear by choosing not to run
for the House or Senate in Michigan that he thinks

(12:57):
he's got presidential chops.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
And Gavin new is talking a.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
Good game with Michael Savage on his podcast, but of
course he is a constant hypocrite. He was in COVID
and he is now probably on the trans issue and
others that any of these names that have come forward
so far surprising to you or even.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Have a shot.

Speaker 7 (13:17):
No, it's not surprising.

Speaker 6 (13:18):
I mean, but you know, let's Let's see what Aos does.
Let's see what Shapiro in Pennsylvania does. Let's see what
Kamala does again. You know, they're gonna there's going to
be a vociferous primary in twenty eight, but republic is
going to.

Speaker 5 (13:31):
Have one too. It's gonna be very interesting to watch.

Speaker 6 (13:33):
But you know, the Democrats, it's going to be a really,
really difficult position for them because they hate Trump so
much that they that their their default is one of
complete antagonism to what he's doing, even though he's more
popular than ever and what he's trying to do.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Well, they got to pin the tail on the donkey too, right,
They got to pin the tail on the donkey and
make and make them believe that the new boogeyman is
whoever I would think J D.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
Bants or Mark or Rubio.

Speaker 8 (14:00):
Though.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
They got to convince their voters because they don't have
that anti Trump draw, so they got to attach that
to someone. And I think the other biggest problem for
them is going to be I think the Democrat voters
are going to leave nothing on the field to make
sure that the party can't push a candidate without them.
In other words, they're going to take the primary process

(14:22):
very serious in a crowded field of nineteen. If they
wanted a Bernie Sanders, or if they want a Wes Moore,
or if they want a Romney Manuel, They're going to
make sure they get it. So the party can't pull
any Shenanigans. So that's going to be a challenge for
them as well. Not that I'm trying to fix something.
I'm just trying to describe why they're losing, and I
think they might be phasing extinction. But you disagree. You
think that they will pivot and time has a way

(14:44):
of cyclically correcting itself.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
I hope not.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
I think to see both parties disappear, including yours, But
that's just me.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
I always always love Doggety. Chris Walker a great week.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
We'll talk to you next Monday or sooner if conditions warn't.
It's your Morning Show with Michael del Journal. Deadly weekend
of storms and the death toll continues to rise from
the storms in the South and the Midwest. Special Envoy
to President Trump says Russia and Ukraine are close to
a deal to end the war between the two countries,

(15:15):
and those trapped astronauts may be finally coming home as
soon as tomorrow and your March madness brackets are done.
So go in there and get them all ready to
go this week. Just a quick follow up with one
minute until the break. I listen, i am not rooting
for the Democrats and I'm not trying to help the Democrats,
just as I told you for years journalism was dying,

(15:37):
and then I told you when journalism was dead twenty sixteen.
Now everybody acknowledges journalism is dead, and television networks and
newspapers they have no influence anymore. Intelligensia at the university
level isn't far behind. I'm describing what I believe is
the death at the Democrat Party unless they make an
amazing pivot. Unless they have a transformive candidate, and I

(16:01):
don't see one on the horizon. Unless they get a
sensible primary voter, I think you're going to have very
few turning out for the sensible Democrats that are, you know,
seeing the light. They're going to be spread thin over
several candidates, and that crazy far left of their party
will unify behind a candidate. That's why I don't see
much of a future for them at all. And we'll

(16:24):
know real early in a very contested primary in about
three years from now.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Hi there, I'm Kimmy Stevens and my morning show is
your Morning Show with Michael Dolgorno.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Hey Michael, your morning show can be heard on great
stations across the country like Talk Radio eleven ninety and
Dallas Sport Worth Freedom one oh four point seven in Washington,
d C. And five point fifty k f YI 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.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 5 (17:00):
Did you just see it?

Speaker 9 (17:01):
Is to Simone sand Is just quit the Democratic Party
live on MSNBC because of Chuck Schumer. I got something
for Huff who cames.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Thirty five minutes after the hour on this Saint Patty's day,
twenty five minutes to me to work on time in
the Central time zone. Thanks for bringing us along with you.
This is your morning show. I'm Michael, love serving you.
Jeffries here reds here on that note, by the way,
it needs to be said, we are just if you're
just joining us. We had about a half hour conversation
about the pending doom of the Democrat Party why they're

(17:37):
losing while they'll continue to lose, if not face extinction
if they don't pivot. And we don't see them being
able to pivot without you know, a willingness to pivot,
a transformative figure to pivot with, and I don't see
that candidate on the horizon and a sensible primary voter.
Remember in all of the polls of plenty we did

(17:59):
in the five o'clock our shameless plug for the podcast.
If you missed it, you didn't, it's waiting for you
in your iHeartRadio app to search your morning show Michael
del Journal. By the way, once you find it, hit
subscribe that way, it's waiting for you every morning. But
even if they were to pivot, don't forget sixty five
percent of Democrat voters think that the Democrat Party isn't

(18:20):
opposing and obstructing Donald Trump enough. That's why they're demonizing
Chucky Schumer, even though had Chuckie Schumer not cave, that
would have cost even more jobs, let alone credit ratings
for states. But the obsession is just do anything to
stop Trump. So remember it's not that the Democrats have
a candidate problem. They have a platform and worldview problem,

(18:46):
and nobody has a worse platform and worldview problem than
the average Democrat voter. So even if they pivot and
get sensible with the sensible candidate, will their voters in
the primary process show up. The most active voters are
the most extreme left in their party. There's still woke,

(19:07):
there's still open borders, there's still anti cop So remember,
their biggest challenge is their voters. That's who keeps putting
these elected officials in office. It's a great reminder to that,
and that's playing out even this morning. As you heard
from Big John. All right, thirty eight minutes after the hour,
Roy O'Neil is here. It is Saint Patrick's Day, a
celebration that is marked by many who aren't even a

(19:30):
wee bit Irish. While I was going by the name
Michael O'Dell earlier, so I'm one of them, but completely Irish,
is Roory O'Neal.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Good morning, Rory, Yeah, good morning, Michael.

Speaker 10 (19:39):
It's interesting that about eight and a half percent of
the population it actually has Irish ancestry, but about sixty
one percent are going to do something to mark the
day either.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
Maybe it's just wearing green.

Speaker 10 (19:51):
Of course, about a quarter of US are expected to
raise a glass at some location this afternoon. It's about
a seven billion dollar day overall of the National Retail Federation.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
As someone who is Irish, what beverage would be the
one to most honor your people?

Speaker 2 (20:09):
A cup of tea, probably Irish whiskey in it.

Speaker 10 (20:14):
Perhaps that's what they drink the most of is a
cup of tea. But yeah, I mean Jamison Schmitticks. Of
course Guinness screwed me out there. But beer, whatever it is,
it's not green. So when you do see that out there, please,
you know, make other plants if you're going to drink
something green and it's not going to be a shamrock shake.
I mean, the real amazing thing is that this is

(20:35):
a holiday that we exported from the US to Ireland,
that it was really just a religious day over there
for their agent to say to the country, and it's
become this big shamrock covered leprechn event here in the States.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Do you think does the Chicago River still dye itself green? Yeah?
They did yesterday. Oh they did it yesterday.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Okay, Yeah, I didn't know if it was that or
from you know, all the green beer green, But I
didn't know for sure. All right, So Saint Patrick's Date
religious in Ireland American created as a ware green party,
fun fest, and most who will be celebrating or not
even the least bit hier dish.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
They're just in it for the drinks and the fun.

Speaker 10 (21:15):
I guess springtime party weekend without any you know, you
don't have to buy a gift, you're not planning a
giant meal.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
It's it's a pretty easy way to just have a
fun weekend.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
Well on this Saint Patrick's Day, as my only Irish correspondent,
Happy Saint Patrick's Day, Rory, have a great day to
you and to me and even to an Italian who
plans to celebrate it.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
All right, if you're just waking up.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
President Trump's special envoy to the Middle East says Russia
and Ukraine are close to a deal to ending the
war between the two countries. Tammy Trehillo has more.

Speaker 11 (21:47):
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 4 (21:56):
The President uses the war uses the time frame weeks,
and I don't disagree with him. I am really hopeful
that we're going to see some real progress here.

Speaker 11 (22:06):
Whitcof stop short of discussing exactly what Russia's demands are
and which points still need negotiation. Ukrainian President Zelenski has
already accepted the us BacT cease fire proposal. I'm tammage
r HEO.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
New data from the Federal Trade Commission shows Americans lost
five point seven billion dollars last year to investment scams.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
The data shows the majority of those who reported being
scammed out of purported investments last year to the agency
lost an average of more than nine thousand dollars. FTC
officials Warren scammers often try to create a false sense
of urgency surrounding an investment opportunity, then often ask for
payments through unusual means, such as gift cards. Officials warn

(22:48):
the scammers will often threaten victims who say they'll go
to the authorities or threaten to tell others about the scam.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
I'm Scott Carr in Washington.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Starbucks has been ordered to pay up and another hot
bet for incident.

Speaker 12 (23:01):

The Secretary of Treasury is dismissing concerns about the recent
market losses, appearing on NBC's Meet the Press, Scott Pissent
said President Trump is just correcting the dangerous policies of
the Biden administration and insists he doesn't expect there to
be any economic crisis.

Speaker 14 (24:20):
I'm not worried about the markets over the long term.
If we put good tax policy in place, deregulation and
energy security, the markets will do break.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
As for recession, no, insisting Trump's planned tariffs will ultimately
help the US.

top seed in the East, Houston tops the Midwest, Florida

This is your morning show with Michael de Chuno.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
I am your humble host who feels a little bit
like a clown and a dunk machine today.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
Why is everybody so anti mead today? It's Monday? All right, Valerie,
take your shot?

Speaker 15 (28:19):
Oh Michael, how can you live in Nashville and not
know that Morgan is Morgan Wallin, not Morgan Whalen. He's
the guy who threw the chair off the roof of
the your jar drawn, Now.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
Michael, that was Eric Church's bar, not his own, though, chiefs. Yeah,
that's my daughter's favorite singer. I don't know why I'm
mispronounced it. Well, I can tell you one thing, Valerie,
with all transparency, because I'm not a country music fan
at all. Chris ready to dunk me too?

Speaker 2 (28:57):
How do you bring up Kurt Russell and not mention
the movie too? Oh see, I forgot about that.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
I did have a Tombstone pizza recently, though, Steve Johnson,
the Wrestler Rights to better serve your listeners have finished dissent.
You might want to make mention of Saint Erhoes Day, Okay,
which was the day before Saint Patrick's Day. I'll jump
right on that. And finally, Catherine writes, I'm wearing green

(29:24):
today and I'm German. I'm wearing blue today and I'm Italian.
Red's wearing red because he's red and the only one
wearing green is Jeffrey. If you're just waking up, yeah, well,
if you're just waking up, President Trump's special envoy to
the Middle East says Russian and Ukraine are close to
a deal to end the war between the two countries.
A pair of astronauts who have been stranded in space

(29:45):
well over nine months could be finally splashing down as
soon as tomorrow, as the rendezvous has taking place at
the International Space Station. Your field in the NCAA tournament
has been set, I'd say there's about a thirty five
chance you could have an all CC final four. What
a disaster that would be. Just means more. I like

(30:05):
Saint John's and I like Florida. So that's is Florida
in one seed? No, Houston's the one seed. Yeah, I
like all non one seeds. But Jimmy Switz called in
earlier to say it's Auburn, and it's Auburn all the way.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
All right.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
A federal judge is John Decker here yet? Oh okay,
see I'm over here stalling.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Told you. I didn't hear anything that your voice.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
I can't even hear your voice over that green sweatshirt.
A federal judge is blocking the use of President Trump's
use of wartime powers to quickly deport non citizens. What
is the president trying to do? And why did the
judge stop it. You need more than just a White
House correspondent. How about a Supreme Court bar attorney. You
get both in one. John Decker, good morning, and happy
Saint Patrick's day.

Speaker 7 (30:53):
Happy Saint Patrick, stay to you.

Speaker 5 (30:55):
Thank you.

Speaker 16 (30:55):
Over the weekend, there was a major deportation that happened
of alleged Venezuelan gang members. They were deported not to Venezuela,
but to El Salvador. El Salvador's president has agreed to
take them in. And what the president did was he
invoked the Alien Enemies Act, which was first passed in
seventeen ninety eight selden been used as the impetus for

(31:19):
removing these individuals from the United States. A federal district
court judge says, wait a minute, before.

Speaker 7 (31:25):
You do that again.

Speaker 16 (31:26):
I'm going to issue a temporary restraining order and I'm
going to have a hearing on this matter lightly within
the next two weeks, and so that will likely happen,
and that means that these future deportations like the one
we saw over the weekend are temporarily on hold.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
All right, So walk us through in regular client language,
what this judge will be looking at and what the
concerns are.

Speaker 16 (31:52):
Well, what the judge we'll be looking at is whether
this was the proper.

Speaker 5 (31:56):
Invocation of this particular law The.

Speaker 16 (31:59):
Last time it was used world War Two. The law
allows the president during wartime to deport citizens of country
is considered an enemy of the United States, and that's
the reason why this law has rarely been invoked. You know,
the last time that Congress declared war was World War Two,

(32:19):
and I think that there will be judges that look
to that specifically as whether or not the president used
this law properly.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Ours president, as.

Speaker 16 (32:28):
You know, also upon taking office declared illegal immigration as
a national emergency. Is that enough to invoke this particular law?
And so those will be the competing issues at play
when this is decided ultimately by the federal courts in
our country.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
That's what I was just going to ask you, and
you kind of answered it before I could ask it.
So what we have Our criminals have committed crimes, they
can be removed from the country. But I mean, this
goes back to World War Two when was the Japanese
Does he even need this? I mean, could he just
change the way he does future ones? Is my next question.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Well, if.

Speaker 16 (33:12):
He's invoked this law, and so that is the reason
that he has cited for allowing uh his administration to
do what it did over the weekend. Now, if he
cited a different legal authority, then it may be a
different issue entirely. But to invoke this law means that
is the issue before this federal district court judge. This
federal district court judge, by the way, did not say

(33:34):
what the president did was illegal or unconstitutional. What he said,
I'm I'm going to have a hearing on this, and
we will examine this issue during that hearing and then
John the outcome of that hearing that could go to
even higher courts, right it could, Yeah, I mean depending
upon who loses at that level. It's the ACLU that
sued on behalf of those individuals who were deported out

(33:58):
of the country.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Whoever loses that.

Speaker 16 (34:00):
District court level can appeal to the appella court level
and a circuit court will decide that issue, and whoever
loses there could appeal all the way to the US
Supreme Court. I think we're going to see a lot
of that play out during this administration. A lot of
the decisions ultimately made by the President that get challenged legally,
may indeed be decided by the US Supreme Court.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
You know, it's always one of my favorite segments, and
I'm very grateful that you're here every day, but today
in particular, and doing my show prep and study, I
really needed you to answer some of these questions, so
this one was perfect.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Have a great day. We'll talk again tomorrow.

Speaker 16 (34:32):
YouTube Michael, by bye.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
