Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard on
great radio stations across the country, like News Talk ninety
two point one and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee,
or thirteen hundred The Patriot in Tulsa, our Talk six
to fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. We invite you to
listen live while you're getting ready in the morning, and
to take us along for the drive to work. But
as we always say, better late than never. Thanks for
(00:21):
joining us for the podcast two.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Three, Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding, because we're in this together.
This is your morning show with Michael del Choino.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
This just in, This just in breaking news. New York
City Mayor Eric Adams dropping out of the Democratic primary
will seek reelection as an independent. It could be a
very smart move you avoid Cuomo in the primary. They're
gonna butcher him over the COVID deaths and then he'll
have to carry that over in to the race. This
(01:01):
comes after Mayor Eric Adams his case dismissed with prejudice
despite Trump administration's request to allow for later prosecution. Stock
futures are plummeting as President Trump announced his tariff plan
the Liberation Day from the Rose Garden and we just
had David Bonson on. David not a big fan of
(01:22):
this tariff strategy at all, and you're reacting on the
talkback line.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Good morning, Michael. I am no analyst like David Bronson,
but I completely disagree with his future outlook, maybe because
I don't see him looking far enough into the future
to believe that Americans are willing to return to work
and become trades person and builders and crafters and producers
that can produce the Nike shoes in Ohio. I believe
that that's what they put into their economic forecast when
(01:49):
they say that in three years Apple would want to
reverse something like this. It doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
In regards to the tariffs. I am a blue collar worker.
Everybody I've talked to is perfectly fine with a little
bit of pain for long term gain. I'm all for tariffs,
and who knows, maybe sometime in the future it turns
into no taxes and the government makes their money off
(02:16):
of the tariffs and not us. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Another great interview, Michael.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I love David Boson.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
He's so smart, intelligent and just spelled it out simply
for the average investor. Good guy painted a gloomy pitchure
short term, but we'll hang in there. By the way,
Adams declared, now he's gonna run as an independent, he
has zero shot.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Well we'll see. Time will tell uh. Some thought he
had a zero shot running as a Democrat. Listen, this
is a tough one because it's hard to stay focused.
I got these new lenses and the top of the
lenses are for seeing far away, the middle is for
seeing my computer screen a few feet away, and then
the bottom is by folk. Guess what happens. I don't
(03:01):
wear them very often, and when I do, I'm walking
into things because I'm trying to see out of all
that issue. Yeah, I mean, I'm about ready to go
back and say, you know what, I'd rather if somebody
read the menu to me, just put these all so
I can watch a baseball game. But that's kind of
what's happening to me on this issue. First of all, politically,
it's a very risky game. Very now. I think it's
(03:22):
a matrix issue. I think those that believe in Donald
Trump give him the benefit of the doubt, and I
think those that hate him. It's like waking up this morning,
I would be telling you about Vietnam's already caved, Israel
eliminated what little remaining tariffs. Say, had India's come to
the table cutting their tariffs fifty percent, that's twenty three
and a half billion dollars. Canada has said, well, if
(03:45):
you'll lower your terarifts will lower ours. I don't think
if you go in the matrix to any left sources, no,
what CNN, what MSNBC with the Washington Post, what the
New York Times is going to be pushing his stocks
plummeting and because of the uncertainty, and I get that,
(04:09):
And there are a few that are really leading that plummet.
Nike's a big one, which is why Vietnam is already
coming forward saying we'll cut our tariffs. Politically, it's a
dangerous game. You know, David Bohnson's an economist. A tariff
is attacks period always paid by the consumer, So that
(04:32):
makes it very difficult to root for. Meanwhile, you have
other countries that have been putting a disproportion of tariff
on US. But politically, if the American people have elected
Donald Trump to fix the border, he's done it. They've
also elected him to lower the cost of living, and
(04:53):
if he primarily raises it between now or dramatically raises
it between now and the midterm election, and that's a
dangerous game. The Democrats are reeling. They're actually dealing with
extinction from within and from outside. And the point today
suggests the same. But you're giving him a play. That's
(05:16):
the risky game you're playing now. I can't also figure
out if the president's playing a short term or long
term game. The long term game could be problematic if
it's a short term game, and take your Vietnam victory,
take your India victory, take your Israel victory, take your
Canadian victory, and then turn around and say look what
(05:36):
I did, and then move on. Well, then it can
look like he achieved the border security, he achieved lowering
the cost of living, and then get on to finishing
the deal with Ukraine and Russia. That's a very successful presidency.
And then he's got to make the transition of trump
Ism towards the future, whether it's presumably JD Vance or
(05:57):
someone with him, but it you know, going back to
my glasses analogy, it's a very risky political game and
a risk you don't really need to be taking right now.
I mean I get that from an economic standpoint. Short term,
for sure, it's going to cost the American people more
(06:18):
if it's a real play. Translation, when April fifth gets here,
are these ten percent across the board going to go
into effect? I'll let you know in forty eight hours.
As for the reciprocals, I'll let you know on April ninth.
But David Boonnsen is right. If you've got nations, Switzerland
(06:40):
would be a great example of that, getting on the
phone and saying hey and getting special you know, deals
one by one. As the president negotiates something that maybe
constitutionally isn't his negotiate ultimately to create and then backs
off on it, well, then I think the market would
recover and he could claim a political victory and avoid
the political liability. It's that difficult of an issue. But
(07:03):
what I'll tell you pleases me the most. I love
that you're able to disagree and not get ugly. That's
what that was my biggest dream for this show. We've
got to learn, you know, it's like and you don't
hold grudges, and you don't just oh, you disagree well,
I'll never talk to you again. And by the way,
(07:28):
John Decker to that analogy, he could have been right
and Kamalo would have won, should you have never listened
to me again. I like that we can discuss, we
can hear all sides of this. It's just greater understanding
without being destructive, greater differences. Very proud of you, all right.
I don't know how many of these I can get in.
Maybe we should. We have to do it in two parts,
(07:50):
but I want to get started. Sounds of the Day
will wait, we wist.
Speaker 7 (07:58):
The early man does not make him sense.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Always revealing, often entertaining. It's your Sounds of the Day
for this Thursday, April the third, and of course we
start with the President.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
This will be a very big moment. I think you're
going to remember today. It's going to be a free
nation that we're dealing with. We're going to have a
very free and beautiful nation. It's going to be Liberation
Day in America, and it's going to be a day
that hopefully you're going to look back in years to
come and you're going to say, you know, he was right.
This has turned out to be one of the most
(08:36):
important days in the history of our country.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
So the President wants to make clear that for the
longest time, these nations have been putting imposing great tariffs
on us with no answer. He had his list of
worst defenders. Cambodia ninety seven percent tariff. Well, now we'll
(09:01):
answer with forty nine and maybe they'll come down or
maybe they'll pay more. China sixty seven percent. The reciprocal
is only half of that. But if the goal is
to just get it down, that would make goods and
services from China. Now that's where you start getting into
technology too. Significantly less Conson says it won't work, presents
(09:24):
wanting you to believe it will work. Laos ninety five percent,
Madagascar ninety three percent. These are the worst defenders. Burma
eighty eight percent, Sri Lanka eighty eight percent, Thailand seventy
two percent. So from the President's perspective, these countries have
been disproportionately taking advantage of us, and now I'm going
(09:44):
to liberate you from this one sided trade disadvantage. Whether
it's a long term player short term plate, we don't know.
And here's how the President explained it.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
On the coming days, there will be complaints from the
globalists and the outsources and special interests and the fake
news fake news. Will always complain, but never forget. Every
prediction our opponents made about trade for the last thirty
years has been proven totally wrong. They were wrong about NAFTA,
they were wrong about China.
Speaker 9 (10:21):
They were wrong.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
About the Transpecific Partnership, which would have been a disaster
if I didn't terminate it. If I didn't turn that
terminate that United Auto Workers, you would have had no
jobs in this country. You would have had no jobs.
I was all going to other countries in my first term.
They said tariffs would crash the economy. Instead we built
(10:46):
the greatest economy in the history of the world. And
again I have great respect for presidentcy of China, great
respect for China. But they were taking tremendous advantage of
them of US, and I commend them for that. I say, hey,
if you can get away with it, that's okay. But
you know, they understand exactly what's happening, and they probably
(11:06):
most of them are saying it's about time they did something.
But uh, and they're gonna fight, and they're gonna fight fair.
Everyone's gonna fight.
Speaker 10 (11:13):
You know.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
It's like I say, to the leaders, Look, you got
to take care of your country, but we have to
start taking care of our country.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
So that's a president laying out his case. He even
brought with him his charts.
Speaker 8 (11:25):
So if you look at that China first row, China,
sixty seven percent, that's tariffs charged to the USA, including
currency manipulation and trade barriers. So sixty seven percent. I
think you can, for the most part see it those
with good eyes with bad eyes. We didn't want to
(11:45):
bring it's very windy out here. We didn't want to
bring out the big charts because it had no chance
of standing. Fortunately, we came armed with a little smaller chart.
So sixty seven percent. So we're going to be charging
a discounted reciprocal tariff of thirty four percent.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
I think, in other.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
Words, they charge us, we charge them, we charge them less.
So how can anybody be upset? They will be because
we never charge anybody anything. But now we're gonna charge
European Union. They're very tough, very very tough traders. You know,
you think of European Union, very friendly. They rip us off.
It's so sad to see, it's so pathetic. Thirty nine percent.
(12:26):
We're gonna charge them twenty percent, so we charge you them.
Potentially have Vietnam great negotiators, great people.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
They like me, I like them.
Speaker 8 (12:35):
The problem is they charge us ninety percent. We're gonna
charge them forty six percent tariff Taiwan where they make.
They took all of our computer chips and semiconductors. We
used to be the king, right, we were everything. We
had all of it. Now we have almost none of
it except the biggest company is coming in. They're gonna
have We're gonna end up with almost forty percent. Leez
(12:56):
Elden's working to get their approvals, and.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
So the President LEAs all this out in the rose garden.
I'm out of time, but we're going to do the
other half of We'll try to get it in at
thirty four. After look, Vietnam's already come to the table
willing to cut their tariffs in half. India's come to
the table willing to cut their tariffs in half. If
this is a short term play for the Vietnams, for
(13:21):
the louses, for the Thailand, it could be a victory
for the president. But there is going to be price
to pay, starting with your four oh one ks when
the market opens up, so this will continue to play out.
The President's calling it Liberation Day, and his opponents are
calling it a reckless abuse of power that could greatly
(13:46):
affect the economy. Depends on if it's a long term
play or a short term play. It depends on if
the President is right and they're wrong. That's your half
of your Sounds of the day. It's twenty minutes after
the hour. We come back your top five stories of
the day. Roy and Neil's going to join us next
half hour as well with his reaction to the President's
Rose Garden news conference. This is your morning show. Breaking
(14:08):
news the mayor of New York dropping out of the
Democratic primary. He will run for reelection as an independent.
More coming up, stay with us.
Speaker 11 (14:17):
Could you imagine this guy as Donald Trump's press secretary.
This is your morning show with Chris my Mind. Thank you,
Mike McCann. Twenty seven minutes after the hour.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
You know a lot of people in chalk Radio. They
love to tell you what they think and then say.
Speaker 12 (14:34):
What do you think?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Give us a call, But they don't really care what
you think. They just want you to know what they think. Look,
I really care about what you think. That's why the
show's named after you, and that's why we always have
time for your calls. We're gonna get Nashville, Phoenix, and
Sacramento at the table. Let's start in Nashville with Perry.
Paris are a good idea.
Speaker 13 (14:50):
What needs to happen, though, to bring jobs back in
this country is to make it quit making it financially
luc diff a able body. People set on their high
ends collecting government money instead of working a job.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Get them off the government. No, put them back to work. Well,
that's a completely separate issue, but yes, I agree Phoenix. James.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
See you're saying it. If Trump is playing the short
term for the long term game, he can be playing
bolt at the same time. And let me explain. Number one,
everybody lowers their teriffs in the short term, which is
a win for him. And then number two, the people
that don't are getting tariffed anyway, nobody's stopping Americans from
buying American products.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Very smart comment, James. There's another side of this too
that Donald Trump could be hanging onto that card in
his hand, and that is incentives to buy American. You know,
the President has kind of floated things like, hey, if
you buy an American car I'll let you write off
the taxes, so he could have another piece to this
(15:54):
puzzle as well. Again, you got to remember the context
in which I said it. There is the economic play,
and David Bonnson doesn't like any of it. I can
see some of it. I think that it's a politically
very dangerous game to play, and that kind of leads
to our comment from Roger Morny.
Speaker 9 (16:12):
Michael, Hey, I don't think where Trump is now he
does anything politically, or at least isn't constrained by it,
because I don't think what he's doing is wrong, and
I don't think he cares about the politics. I think
he just wants to get somewhere.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
That's in Sacramento.
Speaker 8 (16:29):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
That's an interesting point because we talk about all the
time is this a red wave or an orange wave,
because the reality is it's an orange wave. It's Trump's party,
and if he doesn't have a future and doesn't create
one for the party, he could get done what he
wants to passionately get done and set the Republicans up
for failure in the midterm or in twenty twenty eight.
(16:51):
I would hope he's interested in both because these two
parties have such a different worldview, platform and policy view,
So careful. Donald doesn't care that's our future. He's not
caring with too.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
This is Sean Paul from Alita, Florida, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Nostros del Jorno.
Speaker 8 (17:19):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on great
radio stations across the country like one oh five, nine
twelve fifty when Z and Tampa, Florida, News Radio five seventy,
wkb N at Youngstown, Ohio, and News Radio one thousand
KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you listen to
us live in the morning. And of course we're so
grateful you came for the podcast.
Speaker 11 (17:40):
Enjoy. Never mind what your parents told you. It's good
to talk back on your iHeartRadio EPP. It's Michael del
Jorneau and your morning.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
Show, Pezza boy, Good morning. We all know that Donald
Trump is doing this as a negotiating tool to get
people to the negotiating table. If he lowers the tariffs
that are charged on the US, we're gonna be shining
even if they come down half percent. Problem is, we're
never going to hear the victory from the legacy media
(18:09):
We're never gonna hear how good Trump did. Even if
it goes well, we're never gonna hear it.
Speaker 14 (18:13):
Remember that, Good morning, Michael. Don't give up on the progressives.
Once you get used to me, you'll never know you
have them on. You'll never go back. I absolutely love mine.
It takes a minute, but once you get used to it,
you'll love them.
Speaker 11 (18:25):
Great show.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Oh he's he's talking about the lenses. I was gonna say,
does you think I had a progressive guest st I'll
never get used to progress I thought he was talking
about political progressive. No, it's your lenses. Well, now here's
the deal. So the top of them are for seeing
a far away, the middle is for seeing like a
foot away your computer, and then the bifocal the bottom.
(18:50):
I think what I would benefit from is going back,
because I I don't. First of all, I agree with
you if it's the same thing. When I was mono vision,
I had a contact in one eye it would see
far away, and one on the left that would see
for reading. And your brain will learn and you'll look
down and it'll shut one off, turned one on. I
just don't wear them enough to adjust, and I keep
(19:10):
walking into walls and stubbing my feet, and I had.
Speaker 12 (19:13):
To get mine recorrected because I couldn't wear the progressive lenses.
I don't wear them enough.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yeah, I mostly want to see far away. And then
every now and then when I'm looking at a menu,
I'm a fat guy. You saw me yesterday. I want
to see this guy. By the way. Jeffrey and I
were at the Carabas and we down two loaves of
bread before Red even arrived.
Speaker 12 (19:31):
Man, I love that olive oil and that whatever.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
And I said, well, you know, I know I'm Italian,
but I like butter. And then what do I do?
I do the butter and the olive oil. But yeah, no,
that really scared me. I thought he was talking about
the progressives politically. Roy O'Neill is here.
Speaker 12 (19:47):
I rescheduled with him. I apologize we had a wrong
time on our end. You need to continue with your
sounds of the day if you want to.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Well, then why did you say?
Speaker 12 (19:57):
Rory said, well, because he was here, and then he
double checked and he.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I like you a lot better with a loaf of
bread close to us.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
It's part two, he said.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Either it's got to be a big misunderstanding. I'm all right,
I love your garbage truck.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
All right.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
In part one we did Donald Trump on Liberation Day.
Part two is everything else. And let's start with somebody
who's becoming kind of a favorite of the show. And
why not. He's in the iHeart Family. Here's Charlemagne, the god.
Speaker 15 (20:35):
Is not the future at a party. So who's supposed
to be the leaders? Well, in Congress, you've got two people.
The first one is this guy, House Minority Leader, Hakeen Jeffers.
Speaker 16 (20:44):
In America, we don't have a king, we don't have
a monarch, we don't have a dictator. And on democracy
we have separate and co equal branches of government.
Speaker 15 (20:56):
Yeah, I'm not feeling too inspired by business. I'm not
too inspired by business. Casual Morpheus. Okay, you take the
blue pill, nothing changes. You take the red pill, nothing changes.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
But you think Charlottemagne's getting more in a matrix he
gets the blue pill?
Speaker 12 (21:13):
Is smart?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Uh, he is shockingly smart. Don't be fooled by the
entertainment and the personality. There's a smart mind behind this guy.
Like what Terry Flavor.
Speaker 15 (21:26):
And pay Less Obama's counterpart in the Senate, He's somehow
even less inspiring.
Speaker 17 (21:31):
It's going to affect be here. Okay, most of it
Corona here comes from Mexico. It's going to affect your
guac because what is guacamole made of avocados?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Shuma is not the.
Speaker 15 (21:46):
Man with a plan to fight Trump. Shit, He ain't
the man with a while.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
To watch Charlotte Maine. He may drop something, but again,
so you know, we talk about what the political risks
are for don Trump in all of this. Don't forget
there's the political risk of the Democrats who want to
oppose everything and how they look opposing it. Mischelle Obama
(22:12):
has a podcast. She does it with her brother. Here's
how it sounds.
Speaker 15 (22:16):
Would you be attracted to a guy who's not financially
sound when you meet him?
Speaker 13 (22:23):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I married one. Don't you like that? Ali? Just through.
Speaker 18 (22:30):
I left my corporate firm when I met Barack, and
I had somebody who was like, I got your back.
The risk you think you're taking, they're not that crazy,
and I'm here to help you. That's when I said
I would rather have that in a partner than a
higher income would.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
And then after becoming president, of course, now they're worth millions.
What's up with this podcast? And is she a future candidate?
Time will tell I like this, a guy commits murder
and somehow he's like a darling of the left. Now,
this is the same left that has yet to come
forward and speak out against you know, burning charging stations,
(23:15):
burning and destroying privately owned vehicles of American citizens. All right,
that's all rough. But I mean a backlash against Trump
and Republicans. Does the left now love assassins?
Speaker 5 (23:30):
I think there would be a big backlash because he's.
Speaker 19 (23:33):
Very popular, this guy, I was, I mean, this could
be a backlash.
Speaker 7 (23:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
By way, I'm shocked. Maybe I'm out of touch. Is
Mangione suddenly popular? He really is. Some people like that
he killed a big evil insurance corporate head.
Speaker 19 (23:49):
Okay, little there. He's kind of become a cult hero.
I don't think it's right on circles on the left
and some parts of the right that see him as
this sort of populist world.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Wasn't on the left.
Speaker 19 (24:00):
It's it's taking on Yeah, But I don't want to
amplify because I disagree with meat on anti But all
I'm saying is that politically it could be a backlash
against Republicans. I don't think that would give him the
death been right in the far left meat when it
comes to corporate greed and and so this was something
that united the extremes on both ends.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
How do you figure that that they left well, I
didn't come up with it.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yes, how does the view stay on?
Speaker 2 (24:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
So that's the big because that's that's the dangerous game
you play when you abandon God, you abandon his way,
his truth, his life, when as a culture you abandon
absolute truth and a sense of right and wrong and
good guys and bad guys. I guess a murderer could
somehow be the one thing that's uniting both parties.
Speaker 9 (24:56):
Talk about repeating narratives.
Speaker 11 (24:59):
Wow.
Speaker 14 (24:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
When asked, she goes, I don't know. I was told that.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I was told that here's Canada commenting on the tariffs
and what they might be willing to do to respond.
Speaker 20 (25:10):
Do you expect this to be a negotiation? Meaning there
has been a sense implied or otherwise that we're going
to hear a number, whether it's twenty percent or something
else as a sort of top and that if folks
like yourself come forward and say, you know what, we're
going to take some tariffs off of this, and we're
going to do this, perhaps that those tariff numbers come down.
Speaker 10 (25:32):
Well, let's hope. So let's sit down and discuss this,
because it's just going to hurt American jobs. I can't
stress it enough. And you know, again, he believes he's
supporting Americans. He said he was going to create jobs,
create wealth, reduce inflation. It's worked the total opposite. Inflation.
Speaker 20 (25:54):
It's fair that you have tariffs on a whole number
of products.
Speaker 10 (25:59):
And we'd be willing to take those off tomorrow if
he took all the tariffs.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Off, bing go. I mean, at the end of the day,
I don't know if it's a long term play or
a short term play. But if it's a short term play,
there's Canada saying they take theirs down if he takes
his down. Is that not an art of the deal.
Vietnam's already cut their tariffs in half and they haven't
even gone in effect yet. India will reduce their tariffs
(26:24):
in half twenty three billion dollars. If it's a short
term play, he may already be winning.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
Now.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
The market is going to have a different say today,
but that'll correct once it all sorts its way. Sources
itself up. We always talk about the death of journalism.
And by the way, I don't know why I keep
playing these corpses like The View and CNN and they're
really irrelevant. But here's a CNN reporter, you know, read
(26:56):
me the comment about the views basically reacting to a
narrow not a reality kind of we had that in
our own news. I had to kind of dodge around
it because we're doing a story on a fake news story.
The White House has denied that Elon Musk is leaving early.
He's leaving on time. He'll be done in his one
hundred and thirty days as he was assigned. But he's
(27:18):
not leaving any time before that. Now there's a news
story on Politico's fake news story. Here's CNN trying to
sell a narrative, and thank goodness, there's someone there to
set them, to set them straight. Here's Scott Walker on
(27:39):
with CNN, and the only problem with the CNN interviewer
is she's repeating a false narrative, not a truth.
Speaker 21 (27:44):
He came to the state, he talked about cutting Medicaid,
social security through DOGE. I'll bringing those issues up.
Speaker 22 (27:51):
Actually you never thought, he explicitly said, agree that he
would not cut those securities.
Speaker 21 (27:54):
Well, exactly what he saw at his rally.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
No, No other people said about that.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
But I was there.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
I watched him.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Did not say.
Speaker 21 (28:00):
We are other people at his rallies who work for dogs,
who work for Elon Musk's organization, talked about those issues.
Speaker 22 (28:07):
No, I was at the rally. That's why there are testers, said,
but nobody there actually.
Speaker 21 (28:12):
Do you think that there are risks here?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
There are people believe the lies. That's not at all
what they said.
Speaker 22 (28:18):
If people believe that Medicaid medicare is can be touched,
that's just a flat, right outright lie. What he talked
about are people whoever one hundred and twenty years old. Wow,
clearly are not all lies.
Speaker 21 (28:27):
I brought it in Social Security medical Okay, well, let's
really right, just to sort this out. The reason I
brought this up is because the claim here is that
there's massive, widespread fraud and that that's all they're addressing.
That's obviously a disputed claim, because it's not true that
one hundred and twenty year old people are getting Social
Security checks. The checks stop at a certain point automatically,
(28:50):
because those checks are those checks also.
Speaker 22 (28:52):
Security numbers get counted for various parts of the federal government,
so they count. They don't get a benefit directly to
those people, but they count for money that gets allocated
different departments in their budget, and they shouldn't be if
somebody is no longer alive, they should be.
Speaker 21 (29:06):
My fundamental question was what are the risks here of
Elon dabbling in elections for Republicans going forward?
Speaker 22 (29:12):
Well, again, I think in the end he's going to
have to continue to make the case. Part of the
reason why when we talked about our recall, what flipped
things for us early down early on in that recall process,
Time magazine called me dead man walker, And the reason
was because all the narratives coming out from the press,
coming up to the left, were about all these horrible,
egregious things. Once we started to give examples the things
we were actually doing, not the things the press said,
(29:34):
not the things that so as our opponents said, but the
things that we were actually doing. When we ended up
going before the voters in the final election and the recall,
we actually won buy.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
More votes than we did.
Speaker 22 (29:43):
So I think that what's paramount for him or nimous
aligned with him is keep giving actual examples of what
they're doing. Set aside things like SOB security and they
get abundantly clear that that's not being touched. But if
there's waste for interbute, spell it out, make the case
and bring it to the voters.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
You know, there's two comments a hit, three comments really
one God, I like Scott Walker always have two. In
that two minutes and thirty seconds of audio. It took
two minutes to get behind the lie, get beyond the
lies she was trying to sell. So, whether it's Elon
Musk or President Trump, no one's talking about cutting Medicare,
(30:20):
Medicaid or social security. We're about removing fraud, wasteful spending,
and bureaucracy that's keeping the amount of money being allocated
getting to actual people who are alive. So that was
a tug of war over CNN's lies they tell viewers
every day and reality and somebody held them accountable. But third,
(30:45):
I would just suggest if we learned anything from the
twenty twenty four election, the views, the CNNs, the MSNBCS,
the ABCNBCCBS, the Sunday talking Head shows sixty minutes, they
don't have any view viewership or influence anymore. So it
creates an illusion, like when you're watching Fox and you're
(31:08):
these people, you know, with their big egos, and they're
big pictures on the walls outside the building, like they're
bigger than life. They're on Fox News, and they never
seem to go home, like members of Congress. They seem
to stay till death. But it's an illusion. The twenty
five to fifty four year old viewership of CNN is
(31:31):
less than my audience was in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the sixty
fourth radio market in nineteen ninety five. It's an illusion.
This threat that if CNN is selling this lie, it's
going to destroy Elon Musk, or if CNN is selling
this lie, it's going to jeopardize Donald Trump or the Republican.
Nobody's listening to these lies anymore, not like they used to.
Speaker 8 (31:51):
Now.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
David's anay would want me to chime in and say, well,
they're not completely dead yet, so we know they're going
to do it. But they're basically speaking to the same
twenty six percent that's all that's left of the left
buying it. There's a reason they don't have the Hispanic
coalition anymore. There's a reason why they've lost the male
(32:13):
black vote, minority votes, male votes. These lies aren't playing anymore.
Did you catch that? For two minutes here just trying
to lie and tell people that the President of the
United States, that rallies talked about cutting Social Security and Medicare,
(32:35):
And they can't let go of their lie. It's as
if they've told it so many times they actually believe it.
Now there's a reporter and a contributor on a show
they really ought to be fired. Really shouldn't have much
credibility left. But that's the matrix for the blue pill
(32:56):
takers that are watching that they still think Walker's the liar.
You know, the biggest question is can the left pivot?
And the question is no, because then what would they
be And even if they did, like Gavin Newsom is trying,
(33:18):
they simply have no credibility. I mean, Gavin Usom, what
a loser of the day. He is speaking out against
biological males and women's sports, even as his state allows it.
So at best he's telling you, well, I can't control
my state. Oh well, let's elect you president, so you
can't control your country or nobody believes him, which makes
(33:39):
the pivot impossible. So I believe that their CNN is
playing to a very small audience of maybe one hundred
thousand people, and for that one hundred thousand, they're buying it.
But for the rest, I think they got the rye
on the ball, and I think the twenty twenty four
(34:00):
election proved that. Does it make this tariff game long
term not a dangerous political game. But if it's short term,
and if Vietnam and India and Canada are any early indication,
could be a very smart short play.
Speaker 10 (34:14):
All right, everybody block aloud, look try harder, not the saw.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
You're sound for the day fall Thursday, April, a stormy
morning in Middle Tennessee. Fifty two minutes after that, we
come back quick look at what Roy O'Neil made of
the Rose Garden Liberation Day speeches by the President. As
we conclude your morning show for this Thursday, Drive, Good morning.
Speaker 11 (34:42):
This is your morning show with Michael del.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Chrono, Catherine writes, My problem with the tariffs is that
it isn't the foreign governments who have to pay for it,
it's the American companies that import the goods and ultimately
the American consumers. Well, I think David Bonnson would fall
online of that. This one, this one from our wrestler
Steve Johnson. The view stays on the air for the
(35:08):
same reason we have Rubbernecker slowed down on freeways. People
just love car Res roy o'neils here with his take
in sixty seconds on the Rose Garden libera Is it
liberation or reckless abusive power and economic calamity? That seems
to be in the eye of the beholder, doesn't it?
Speaker 23 (35:25):
Well, it does a lot of supporters of President Trump
still think there may be something up his sleeve before
a lot of these tariffs are imposed. Yes, the car
tariffs went into effect last night, but it's a few
more days before some of the other tariffs take effect,
and we're seeing if there will be more carve outs.
Perhaps some countries get better deals, but fifty four percent
(35:46):
tariffs on imported items from China certainly is significant. I'm
watching the tariffs on Vietnam and Cambodia in particular. That
would really show up at the local shopping mall as
many of the products that come out of Southeast Asia.
Our clothing related.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Our shirts are night shoes suits.
Speaker 23 (36:05):
Yeah, Nike stock has been down thirteen percent in pre
trading stores like five below getting hit very hard. That's
where they get a lot of their inventory as well.
So something to watch there in Southeast Asia.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
As we will watch the market that will be opening
shortly and expected to plumb it. We'll have more on
that tomorrow with Rory and all of us. You guys,
have a great day and we'll see you tomorrow morning,
five Central, six Eastern. God bless we're all.
Speaker 11 (36:27):
In this together. This is your morning show with Michael
Ndheld Jo Now
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard on
great radio stations across the country, like News Talk ninety
two point one and six hundred WREC in Memphis, Tennessee,
or thirteen hundred The Patriot in Tulsa, our Talk six
to fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California. We invite you to
listen live while you're getting ready in the morning, and
to take us along for the drive to work. But
as we always say, better late than never. Thanks for
(00:21):
joining us for the podcast two.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Three, Starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding, because we're in this together.
This is your morning show with Michael del Choino.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
This just in, This just in breaking news. New York
City Mayor Eric Adams dropping out of the Democratic primary
will seek reelection as an independent. It could be a
very smart move you avoid Cuomo in the primary. They're
gonna butcher him over the COVID deaths and then he'll
have to carry that over in to the race. This
(01:01):
comes after Mayor Eric Adams his case dismissed with prejudice
despite Trump administration's request to allow for later prosecution. Stock
futures are plummeting as President Trump announced his tariff plan
the Liberation Day from the Rose Garden and we just
had David Bonson on. David not a big fan of
(01:22):
this tariff strategy at all, and you're reacting on the
talkback line.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Good morning, Michael. I am no analyst like David Bronson,
but I completely disagree with his future outlook, maybe because
I don't see him looking far enough into the future
to believe that Americans are willing to return to work
and become trades person and builders and crafters and producers
that can produce the Nike shoes in Ohio. I believe
that that's what they put into their economic forecast when
(01:49):
they say that in three years Apple would want to
reverse something like this. It doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
In regards to the tariffs. I am a blue collar worker.
Everybody I've talked to is perfectly fine with a little
bit of pain for long term gain. I'm all for tariffs,
and who knows, maybe sometime in the future it turns
into no taxes and the government makes their money off
(02:16):
of the tariffs and not us. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Another great interview, Michael.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I love David Boson.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
He's so smart, intelligent and just spelled it out simply
for the average investor. Good guy painted a gloomy pitchure
short term, but we'll hang in there. By the way,
Adams declared, now he's gonna run as an independent, he
has zero shot.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Well we'll see. Time will tell uh. Some thought he
had a zero shot running as a Democrat. Listen, this
is a tough one because it's hard to stay focused.
I got these new lenses and the top of the
lenses are for seeing far away, the middle is for
seeing my computer screen a few feet away, and then
the bottom is by folk. Guess what happens. I don't
(03:01):
wear them very often, and when I do, I'm walking
into things because I'm trying to see out of all
that issue. Yeah, I mean, I'm about ready to go
back and say, you know what, I'd rather if somebody
read the menu to me, just put these all so
I can watch a baseball game. But that's kind of
what's happening to me on this issue. First of all, politically,
it's a very risky game. Very now. I think it's
(03:22):
a matrix issue. I think those that believe in Donald
Trump give him the benefit of the doubt, and I
think those that hate him. It's like waking up this morning,
I would be telling you about Vietnam's already caved, Israel
eliminated what little remaining tariffs. Say, had India's come to
the table cutting their tariffs fifty percent, that's twenty three
and a half billion dollars. Canada has said, well, if
(03:45):
you'll lower your terarifts will lower ours. I don't think
if you go in the matrix to any left sources, no,
what CNN, what MSNBC with the Washington Post, what the
New York Times is going to be pushing his stocks
plummeting and because of the uncertainty, and I get that,
(04:09):
And there are a few that are really leading that plummet.
Nike's a big one, which is why Vietnam is already
coming forward saying we'll cut our tariffs. Politically, it's a
dangerous game. You know, David Bohnson's an economist. A tariff
is attacks period always paid by the consumer, So that
(04:32):
makes it very difficult to root for. Meanwhile, you have
other countries that have been putting a disproportion of tariff
on US. But politically, if the American people have elected
Donald Trump to fix the border, he's done it. They've
also elected him to lower the cost of living, and
(04:53):
if he primarily raises it between now or dramatically raises
it between now and the midterm election, and that's a
dangerous game. The Democrats are reeling. They're actually dealing with
extinction from within and from outside. And the point today
suggests the same. But you're giving him a play. That's
(05:16):
the risky game you're playing now. I can't also figure
out if the president's playing a short term or long
term game. The long term game could be problematic if
it's a short term game, and take your Vietnam victory,
take your India victory, take your Israel victory, take your
Canadian victory, and then turn around and say look what
(05:36):
I did, and then move on. Well, then it can
look like he achieved the border security, he achieved lowering
the cost of living, and then get on to finishing
the deal with Ukraine and Russia. That's a very successful presidency.
And then he's got to make the transition of trump
Ism towards the future, whether it's presumably JD Vance or
(05:57):
someone with him, but it you know, going back to
my glasses analogy, it's a very risky political game and
a risk you don't really need to be taking right now.
I mean I get that from an economic standpoint. Short term,
for sure, it's going to cost the American people more
(06:18):
if it's a real play. Translation, when April fifth gets here,
are these ten percent across the board going to go
into effect? I'll let you know in forty eight hours.
As for the reciprocals, I'll let you know on April ninth.
But David Boonnsen is right. If you've got nations, Switzerland
(06:40):
would be a great example of that, getting on the
phone and saying hey and getting special you know, deals
one by one. As the president negotiates something that maybe
constitutionally isn't his negotiate ultimately to create and then backs
off on it, well, then I think the market would
recover and he could claim a political victory and avoid
the political liability. It's that difficult of an issue. But
(07:03):
what I'll tell you pleases me the most. I love
that you're able to disagree and not get ugly. That's
what that was my biggest dream for this show. We've
got to learn, you know, it's like and you don't
hold grudges, and you don't just oh, you disagree well,
I'll never talk to you again. And by the way,
(07:28):
John Decker to that analogy, he could have been right
and Kamalo would have won, should you have never listened
to me again. I like that we can discuss, we
can hear all sides of this. It's just greater understanding
without being destructive, greater differences. Very proud of you, all right.
I don't know how many of these I can get in.
Maybe we should. We have to do it in two parts,
(07:50):
but I want to get started. Sounds of the Day
will wait, we wist.
Speaker 7 (07:58):
The early man does not make him sense.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Always revealing, often entertaining. It's your Sounds of the Day
for this Thursday, April the third, and of course we
start with the President.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
This will be a very big moment. I think you're
going to remember today. It's going to be a free
nation that we're dealing with. We're going to have a
very free and beautiful nation. It's going to be Liberation
Day in America, and it's going to be a day
that hopefully you're going to look back in years to
come and you're going to say, you know, he was right.
This has turned out to be one of the most
(08:36):
important days in the history of our country.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
So the President wants to make clear that for the
longest time, these nations have been putting imposing great tariffs
on us with no answer. He had his list of
worst defenders. Cambodia ninety seven percent tariff. Well, now we'll
(09:01):
answer with forty nine and maybe they'll come down or
maybe they'll pay more. China sixty seven percent. The reciprocal
is only half of that. But if the goal is
to just get it down, that would make goods and
services from China. Now that's where you start getting into
technology too. Significantly less Conson says it won't work, presents
(09:24):
wanting you to believe it will work. Laos ninety five percent,
Madagascar ninety three percent. These are the worst defenders. Burma
eighty eight percent, Sri Lanka eighty eight percent, Thailand seventy
two percent. So from the President's perspective, these countries have
been disproportionately taking advantage of us, and now I'm going
(09:44):
to liberate you from this one sided trade disadvantage. Whether
it's a long term player short term plate, we don't know.
And here's how the President explained it.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
On the coming days, there will be complaints from the
globalists and the outsources and special interests and the fake
news fake news. Will always complain, but never forget. Every
prediction our opponents made about trade for the last thirty
years has been proven totally wrong. They were wrong about NAFTA,
they were wrong about China.
Speaker 9 (10:21):
They were wrong.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
About the Transpecific Partnership, which would have been a disaster
if I didn't terminate it. If I didn't turn that
terminate that United Auto Workers, you would have had no
jobs in this country. You would have had no jobs.
I was all going to other countries in my first term.
They said tariffs would crash the economy. Instead we built
(10:46):
the greatest economy in the history of the world. And
again I have great respect for presidentcy of China, great
respect for China. But they were taking tremendous advantage of
them of US, and I commend them for that. I say, hey,
if you can get away with it, that's okay. But
you know, they understand exactly what's happening, and they probably
(11:06):
most of them are saying it's about time they did something.
But uh, and they're gonna fight, and they're gonna fight fair.
Everyone's gonna fight.
Speaker 10 (11:13):
You know.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
It's like I say, to the leaders, Look, you got
to take care of your country, but we have to
start taking care of our country.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
So that's a president laying out his case. He even
brought with him his charts.
Speaker 8 (11:25):
So if you look at that China first row, China,
sixty seven percent, that's tariffs charged to the USA, including
currency manipulation and trade barriers. So sixty seven percent. I
think you can, for the most part see it those
with good eyes with bad eyes. We didn't want to
(11:45):
bring it's very windy out here. We didn't want to
bring out the big charts because it had no chance
of standing. Fortunately, we came armed with a little smaller chart.
So sixty seven percent. So we're going to be charging
a discounted reciprocal tariff of thirty four percent.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
I think, in other.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
Words, they charge us, we charge them, we charge them less.
So how can anybody be upset? They will be because
we never charge anybody anything. But now we're gonna charge
European Union. They're very tough, very very tough traders. You know,
you think of European Union, very friendly. They rip us off.
It's so sad to see, it's so pathetic. Thirty nine percent.
(12:26):
We're gonna charge them twenty percent, so we charge you them.
Potentially have Vietnam great negotiators, great people.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
They like me, I like them.
Speaker 8 (12:35):
The problem is they charge us ninety percent. We're gonna
charge them forty six percent tariff Taiwan where they make.
They took all of our computer chips and semiconductors. We
used to be the king, right, we were everything. We
had all of it. Now we have almost none of
it except the biggest company is coming in. They're gonna
have We're gonna end up with almost forty percent. Leez
(12:56):
Elden's working to get their approvals, and.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
So the President LEAs all this out in the rose garden.
I'm out of time, but we're going to do the
other half of We'll try to get it in at
thirty four. After look, Vietnam's already come to the table
willing to cut their tariffs in half. India's come to
the table willing to cut their tariffs in half. If
this is a short term play for the Vietnams, for
(13:21):
the louses, for the Thailand, it could be a victory
for the president. But there is going to be price
to pay, starting with your four oh one ks when
the market opens up, so this will continue to play out.
The President's calling it Liberation Day, and his opponents are
calling it a reckless abuse of power that could greatly
(13:46):
affect the economy. Depends on if it's a long term
play or a short term play. It depends on if
the President is right and they're wrong. That's your half
of your Sounds of the day. It's twenty minutes after
the hour. We come back your top five stories of
the day. Roy and Neil's going to join us next
half hour as well with his reaction to the President's
Rose Garden news conference. This is your morning show. Breaking
(14:08):
news the mayor of New York dropping out of the
Democratic primary. He will run for reelection as an independent.
More coming up, stay with us.
Speaker 11 (14:17):
Could you imagine this guy as Donald Trump's press secretary.
This is your morning show with Chris my Mind. Thank you,
Mike McCann. Twenty seven minutes after the hour.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
You know a lot of people in chalk Radio. They
love to tell you what they think and then say.
Speaker 12 (14:34):
What do you think?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Give us a call, But they don't really care what
you think. They just want you to know what they think. Look,
I really care about what you think. That's why the
show's named after you, and that's why we always have
time for your calls. We're gonna get Nashville, Phoenix, and
Sacramento at the table. Let's start in Nashville with Perry.
Paris are a good idea.
Speaker 13 (14:50):
What needs to happen, though, to bring jobs back in
this country is to make it quit making it financially
luc diff a able body. People set on their high
ends collecting government money instead of working a job.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Get them off the government. No, put them back to work. Well,
that's a completely separate issue, but yes, I agree Phoenix. James.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
See you're saying it. If Trump is playing the short
term for the long term game, he can be playing
bolt at the same time. And let me explain. Number one,
everybody lowers their teriffs in the short term, which is
a win for him. And then number two, the people
that don't are getting tariffed anyway, nobody's stopping Americans from
buying American products.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Very smart comment, James. There's another side of this too
that Donald Trump could be hanging onto that card in
his hand, and that is incentives to buy American. You know,
the President has kind of floated things like, hey, if
you buy an American car I'll let you write off
the taxes, so he could have another piece to this
(15:54):
puzzle as well. Again, you got to remember the context
in which I said it. There is the economic play,
and David Bonnson doesn't like any of it. I can
see some of it. I think that it's a politically
very dangerous game to play, and that kind of leads
to our comment from Roger Morny.
Speaker 9 (16:12):
Michael, Hey, I don't think where Trump is now he
does anything politically, or at least isn't constrained by it,
because I don't think what he's doing is wrong, and
I don't think he cares about the politics. I think
he just wants to get somewhere.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
That's in Sacramento.
Speaker 8 (16:29):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
That's an interesting point because we talk about all the
time is this a red wave or an orange wave,
because the reality is it's an orange wave. It's Trump's party,
and if he doesn't have a future and doesn't create
one for the party, he could get done what he
wants to passionately get done and set the Republicans up
for failure in the midterm or in twenty twenty eight.
(16:51):
I would hope he's interested in both because these two
parties have such a different worldview, platform and policy view,
So careful. Donald doesn't care that's our future. He's not
caring with too.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
This is Sean Paul from Alita, Florida, and my morning
show is your Morning Show with Nostros del Jorno.
Speaker 8 (17:19):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on great
radio stations across the country like one oh five, nine
twelve fifty when Z and Tampa, Florida, News Radio five seventy,
wkb N at Youngstown, Ohio, and News Radio one thousand
KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you listen to
us live in the morning. And of course we're so
grateful you came for the podcast.
Speaker 11 (17:40):
Enjoy. Never mind what your parents told you. It's good
to talk back on your iHeartRadio EPP. It's Michael del
Jorneau and your morning.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
Show, Pezza boy, Good morning. We all know that Donald
Trump is doing this as a negotiating tool to get
people to the negotiating table. If he lowers the tariffs
that are charged on the US, we're gonna be shining
even if they come down half percent. Problem is, we're
never going to hear the victory from the legacy media
(18:09):
We're never gonna hear how good Trump did. Even if
it goes well, we're never gonna hear it.
Speaker 14 (18:13):
Remember that, Good morning, Michael. Don't give up on the progressives.
Once you get used to me, you'll never know you
have them on. You'll never go back. I absolutely love mine.
It takes a minute, but once you get used to it,
you'll love them.
Speaker 11 (18:25):
Great show.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Oh he's he's talking about the lenses. I was gonna say,
does you think I had a progressive guest st I'll
never get used to progress I thought he was talking
about political progressive. No, it's your lenses. Well, now here's
the deal. So the top of them are for seeing
a far away, the middle is for seeing like a
foot away your computer, and then the bifocal the bottom.
(18:50):
I think what I would benefit from is going back,
because I I don't. First of all, I agree with
you if it's the same thing. When I was mono vision,
I had a contact in one eye it would see
far away, and one on the left that would see
for reading. And your brain will learn and you'll look
down and it'll shut one off, turned one on. I
just don't wear them enough to adjust, and I keep
(19:10):
walking into walls and stubbing my feet, and I had.
Speaker 12 (19:13):
To get mine recorrected because I couldn't wear the progressive lenses.
I don't wear them enough.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yeah, I mostly want to see far away. And then
every now and then when I'm looking at a menu,
I'm a fat guy. You saw me yesterday. I want
to see this guy. By the way. Jeffrey and I
were at the Carabas and we down two loaves of
bread before Red even arrived.
Speaker 12 (19:31):
Man, I love that olive oil and that whatever.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
And I said, well, you know, I know I'm Italian,
but I like butter. And then what do I do?
I do the butter and the olive oil. But yeah, no,
that really scared me. I thought he was talking about
the progressives politically. Roy O'Neill is here.
Speaker 12 (19:47):
I rescheduled with him. I apologize we had a wrong
time on our end. You need to continue with your
sounds of the day if you want to.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Well, then why did you say?
Speaker 12 (19:57):
Rory said, well, because he was here, and then he
double checked and he.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I like you a lot better with a loaf of
bread close to us.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
It's part two, he said.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Either it's got to be a big misunderstanding. I'm all right,
I love your garbage truck.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
All right.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
In part one we did Donald Trump on Liberation Day.
Part two is everything else. And let's start with somebody
who's becoming kind of a favorite of the show. And
why not. He's in the iHeart Family. Here's Charlemagne, the god.
Speaker 15 (20:35):
Is not the future at a party. So who's supposed
to be the leaders? Well, in Congress, you've got two people.
The first one is this guy, House Minority Leader, Hakeen Jeffers.
Speaker 16 (20:44):
In America, we don't have a king, we don't have
a monarch, we don't have a dictator. And on democracy
we have separate and co equal branches of government.
Speaker 15 (20:56):
Yeah, I'm not feeling too inspired by business. I'm not
too inspired by business. Casual Morpheus. Okay, you take the
blue pill, nothing changes. You take the red pill, nothing changes.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
But you think Charlottemagne's getting more in a matrix he
gets the blue pill?
Speaker 12 (21:13):
Is smart?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Uh, he is shockingly smart. Don't be fooled by the
entertainment and the personality. There's a smart mind behind this guy.
Like what Terry Flavor.
Speaker 15 (21:26):
And pay Less Obama's counterpart in the Senate, He's somehow
even less inspiring.
Speaker 17 (21:31):
It's going to affect be here. Okay, most of it
Corona here comes from Mexico. It's going to affect your
guac because what is guacamole made of avocados?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Shuma is not the.
Speaker 15 (21:46):
Man with a plan to fight Trump. Shit, He ain't
the man with a while.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
To watch Charlotte Maine. He may drop something, but again,
so you know, we talk about what the political risks
are for don Trump in all of this. Don't forget
there's the political risk of the Democrats who want to
oppose everything and how they look opposing it. Mischelle Obama
(22:12):
has a podcast. She does it with her brother. Here's
how it sounds.
Speaker 15 (22:16):
Would you be attracted to a guy who's not financially
sound when you meet him?
Speaker 13 (22:23):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I married one. Don't you like that? Ali? Just through.
Speaker 18 (22:30):
I left my corporate firm when I met Barack, and
I had somebody who was like, I got your back.
The risk you think you're taking, they're not that crazy,
and I'm here to help you. That's when I said
I would rather have that in a partner than a
higher income would.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
And then after becoming president, of course, now they're worth millions.
What's up with this podcast? And is she a future candidate?
Time will tell I like this, a guy commits murder
and somehow he's like a darling of the left. Now,
this is the same left that has yet to come
forward and speak out against you know, burning charging stations,
(23:15):
burning and destroying privately owned vehicles of American citizens. All right,
that's all rough. But I mean a backlash against Trump
and Republicans. Does the left now love assassins?
Speaker 5 (23:30):
I think there would be a big backlash because he's.
Speaker 19 (23:33):
Very popular, this guy, I was, I mean, this could
be a backlash.
Speaker 7 (23:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
By way, I'm shocked. Maybe I'm out of touch. Is
Mangione suddenly popular? He really is. Some people like that
he killed a big evil insurance corporate head.
Speaker 19 (23:49):
Okay, little there. He's kind of become a cult hero.
I don't think it's right on circles on the left
and some parts of the right that see him as
this sort of populist world.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Wasn't on the left.
Speaker 19 (24:00):
It's it's taking on Yeah, But I don't want to
amplify because I disagree with meat on anti But all
I'm saying is that politically it could be a backlash
against Republicans. I don't think that would give him the
death been right in the far left meat when it
comes to corporate greed and and so this was something
that united the extremes on both ends.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
How do you figure that that they left well, I
didn't come up with it.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yes, how does the view stay on?
Speaker 2 (24:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
So that's the big because that's that's the dangerous game
you play when you abandon God, you abandon his way,
his truth, his life, when as a culture you abandon
absolute truth and a sense of right and wrong and
good guys and bad guys. I guess a murderer could
somehow be the one thing that's uniting both parties.
Speaker 9 (24:56):
Talk about repeating narratives.
Speaker 11 (24:59):
Wow.
Speaker 14 (24:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
When asked, she goes, I don't know. I was told that.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I was told that here's Canada commenting on the tariffs
and what they might be willing to do to respond.
Speaker 20 (25:10):
Do you expect this to be a negotiation? Meaning there
has been a sense implied or otherwise that we're going
to hear a number, whether it's twenty percent or something
else as a sort of top and that if folks
like yourself come forward and say, you know what, we're
going to take some tariffs off of this, and we're
going to do this, perhaps that those tariff numbers come down.
Speaker 10 (25:32):
Well, let's hope. So let's sit down and discuss this,
because it's just going to hurt American jobs. I can't
stress it enough. And you know, again, he believes he's
supporting Americans. He said he was going to create jobs,
create wealth, reduce inflation. It's worked the total opposite. Inflation.
Speaker 20 (25:54):
It's fair that you have tariffs on a whole number
of products.
Speaker 10 (25:59):
And we'd be willing to take those off tomorrow if
he took all the tariffs.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Off, bing go. I mean, at the end of the day,
I don't know if it's a long term play or
a short term play. But if it's a short term play,
there's Canada saying they take theirs down if he takes
his down. Is that not an art of the deal.
Vietnam's already cut their tariffs in half and they haven't
even gone in effect yet. India will reduce their tariffs
(26:24):
in half twenty three billion dollars. If it's a short
term play, he may already be winning.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
Now.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
The market is going to have a different say today,
but that'll correct once it all sorts its way. Sources
itself up. We always talk about the death of journalism.
And by the way, I don't know why I keep
playing these corpses like The View and CNN and they're
really irrelevant. But here's a CNN reporter, you know, read
(26:56):
me the comment about the views basically reacting to a
narrow not a reality kind of we had that in
our own news. I had to kind of dodge around
it because we're doing a story on a fake news story.
The White House has denied that Elon Musk is leaving early.
He's leaving on time. He'll be done in his one
hundred and thirty days as he was assigned. But he's
(27:18):
not leaving any time before that. Now there's a news
story on Politico's fake news story. Here's CNN trying to
sell a narrative, and thank goodness, there's someone there to
set them, to set them straight. Here's Scott Walker on
(27:39):
with CNN, and the only problem with the CNN interviewer
is she's repeating a false narrative, not a truth.
Speaker 21 (27:44):
He came to the state, he talked about cutting Medicaid,
social security through DOGE. I'll bringing those issues up.
Speaker 22 (27:51):
Actually you never thought, he explicitly said, agree that he
would not cut those securities.
Speaker 21 (27:54):
Well, exactly what he saw at his rally.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
No, No other people said about that.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
But I was there.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
I watched him.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Did not say.
Speaker 21 (28:00):
We are other people at his rallies who work for dogs,
who work for Elon Musk's organization, talked about those issues.
Speaker 22 (28:07):
No, I was at the rally. That's why there are testers, said,
but nobody there actually.
Speaker 21 (28:12):
Do you think that there are risks here?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
There are people believe the lies. That's not at all
what they said.
Speaker 22 (28:18):
If people believe that Medicaid medicare is can be touched,
that's just a flat, right outright lie. What he talked
about are people whoever one hundred and twenty years old. Wow,
clearly are not all lies.
Speaker 21 (28:27):
I brought it in Social Security medical Okay, well, let's
really right, just to sort this out. The reason I
brought this up is because the claim here is that
there's massive, widespread fraud and that that's all they're addressing.
That's obviously a disputed claim, because it's not true that
one hundred and twenty year old people are getting Social
Security checks. The checks stop at a certain point automatically,
(28:50):
because those checks are those checks also.
Speaker 22 (28:52):
Security numbers get counted for various parts of the federal government,
so they count. They don't get a benefit directly to
those people, but they count for money that gets allocated
different departments in their budget, and they shouldn't be if
somebody is no longer alive, they should be.
Speaker 21 (29:06):
My fundamental question was what are the risks here of
Elon dabbling in elections for Republicans going forward?
Speaker 22 (29:12):
Well, again, I think in the end he's going to
have to continue to make the case. Part of the
reason why when we talked about our recall, what flipped
things for us early down early on in that recall process,
Time magazine called me dead man walker, And the reason
was because all the narratives coming out from the press,
coming up to the left, were about all these horrible,
egregious things. Once we started to give examples the things
we were actually doing, not the things the press said,
(29:34):
not the things that so as our opponents said, but the
things that we were actually doing. When we ended up
going before the voters in the final election and the recall,
we actually won buy.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
More votes than we did.
Speaker 22 (29:43):
So I think that what's paramount for him or nimous
aligned with him is keep giving actual examples of what
they're doing. Set aside things like SOB security and they
get abundantly clear that that's not being touched. But if
there's waste for interbute, spell it out, make the case
and bring it to the voters.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
You know, there's two comments a hit, three comments really
one God, I like Scott Walker always have two. In
that two minutes and thirty seconds of audio. It took
two minutes to get behind the lie, get beyond the
lies she was trying to sell. So, whether it's Elon
Musk or President Trump, no one's talking about cutting Medicare,
(30:20):
Medicaid or social security. We're about removing fraud, wasteful spending,
and bureaucracy that's keeping the amount of money being allocated
getting to actual people who are alive. So that was
a tug of war over CNN's lies they tell viewers
every day and reality and somebody held them accountable. But third,
(30:45):
I would just suggest if we learned anything from the
twenty twenty four election, the views, the CNNs, the MSNBCS,
the ABCNBCCBS, the Sunday talking Head shows sixty minutes, they
don't have any view viewership or influence anymore. So it
creates an illusion, like when you're watching Fox and you're
(31:08):
these people, you know, with their big egos, and they're
big pictures on the walls outside the building, like they're
bigger than life. They're on Fox News, and they never
seem to go home, like members of Congress. They seem
to stay till death. But it's an illusion. The twenty
five to fifty four year old viewership of CNN is
(31:31):
less than my audience was in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the sixty
fourth radio market in nineteen ninety five. It's an illusion.
This threat that if CNN is selling this lie, it's
going to destroy Elon Musk, or if CNN is selling
this lie, it's going to jeopardize Donald Trump or the Republican.
Nobody's listening to these lies anymore, not like they used to.
Speaker 8 (31:51):
Now.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
David's anay would want me to chime in and say, well,
they're not completely dead yet, so we know they're going
to do it. But they're basically speaking to the same
twenty six percent that's all that's left of the left
buying it. There's a reason they don't have the Hispanic
coalition anymore. There's a reason why they've lost the male
(32:13):
black vote, minority votes, male votes. These lies aren't playing anymore.
Did you catch that? For two minutes here just trying
to lie and tell people that the President of the
United States, that rallies talked about cutting Social Security and Medicare,
(32:35):
And they can't let go of their lie. It's as
if they've told it so many times they actually believe it.
Now there's a reporter and a contributor on a show
they really ought to be fired. Really shouldn't have much
credibility left. But that's the matrix for the blue pill
(32:56):
takers that are watching that they still think Walker's the liar.
You know, the biggest question is can the left pivot?
And the question is no, because then what would they
be And even if they did, like Gavin Newsom is trying,
(33:18):
they simply have no credibility. I mean, Gavin Usom, what
a loser of the day. He is speaking out against
biological males and women's sports, even as his state allows it.
So at best he's telling you, well, I can't control
my state. Oh well, let's elect you president, so you
can't control your country or nobody believes him, which makes
(33:39):
the pivot impossible. So I believe that their CNN is
playing to a very small audience of maybe one hundred
thousand people, and for that one hundred thousand, they're buying it.
But for the rest, I think they got the rye
on the ball, and I think the twenty twenty four
(34:00):
election proved that. Does it make this tariff game long
term not a dangerous political game. But if it's short term,
and if Vietnam and India and Canada are any early indication,
could be a very smart short play.
Speaker 10 (34:14):
All right, everybody block aloud, look try harder, not the saw.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
You're sound for the day fall Thursday, April, a stormy
morning in Middle Tennessee. Fifty two minutes after that, we
come back quick look at what Roy O'Neil made of
the Rose Garden Liberation Day speeches by the President. As
we conclude your morning show for this Thursday, Drive, Good morning.
Speaker 11 (34:42):
This is your morning show with Michael del.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Chrono, Catherine writes, My problem with the tariffs is that
it isn't the foreign governments who have to pay for it,
it's the American companies that import the goods and ultimately
the American consumers. Well, I think David Bonnson would fall
online of that. This one, this one from our wrestler
Steve Johnson. The view stays on the air for the
(35:08):
same reason we have Rubbernecker slowed down on freeways. People
just love car Res roy o'neils here with his take
in sixty seconds on the Rose Garden libera Is it
liberation or reckless abusive power and economic calamity? That seems
to be in the eye of the beholder, doesn't it?
Speaker 23 (35:25):
Well, it does a lot of supporters of President Trump
still think there may be something up his sleeve before
a lot of these tariffs are imposed. Yes, the car
tariffs went into effect last night, but it's a few
more days before some of the other tariffs take effect,
and we're seeing if there will be more carve outs.
Perhaps some countries get better deals, but fifty four percent
(35:46):
tariffs on imported items from China certainly is significant. I'm
watching the tariffs on Vietnam and Cambodia in particular. That
would really show up at the local shopping mall as
many of the products that come out of Southeast Asia.
Our clothing related.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Our shirts are night shoes suits.
Speaker 23 (36:05):
Yeah, Nike stock has been down thirteen percent in pre
trading stores like five below getting hit very hard. That's
where they get a lot of their inventory as well.
So something to watch there in Southeast Asia.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
As we will watch the market that will be opening
shortly and expected to plumb it. We'll have more on
that tomorrow with Rory and all of us. You guys,
have a great day and we'll see you tomorrow morning,
five Central, six Eastern. God bless we're all.
Speaker 11 (36:27):
