Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show can be heard live five to eight
am Central, six to nine Eastern and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio,
or Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and we're grateful you're here. Now, enjoy
the podcast. You are RUSI for Cootada and raise you
thirty four percent for Kotada. And as the fighting continues,
(00:21):
as stock market futures look as bad today as they
did yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Meanwhile, Hamas has.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Come to their senses and ready to release the remaining
fifty nine hostages. Israel's mission on the ground into the
Gaza seems to have gotten their attention.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
And nasty weather.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
You know, I was looking yesterday because late in the afternoon,
I'm just I'm staring, you know, getting all these tornado warnings,
severe weather warnings, and I'm like, man, we just over
and over again, like deja boo. And when you looked
at the temperature map, you could just see the thirty
degree difference of a cold front and then that line
just extending and it was not just across Tennessee, but
(01:02):
literally right across my neighborhood. Is where the colder in
the warm air met and rory that just kind of
sat here for three days and produced a lot of
really deadly storms in the.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
US right seven confirmed fatalities and these warnings that there's
a lot more rain on the way for big parts
of the country. You look at the map right now,
you can see that line of showers essentially going from
New York to Memphis and then covering just all of
Oklahoma right now, and they're really warning of some pretty
(01:33):
significant rainfall, life.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Threatening flash flooding.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
So the message is stay off the roads one two,
stay home, and if they tell you to evacuate your home,
get out because this flooding can be deadly.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah, the flooding kind of creeps up on you, and
you know, usually catches you not making the right decision.
And you know, obviously when you start driving into flooding,
stop and go the other way would be one thing.
But flooding probably the bigger concern for today than tornadic
activity right.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Right, well, right the tornadoes seemed to be dying down,
but now we're concerned about this deluge that's non stops
and from Arkansas to Kentucky they're calling them for once
in a generation.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Flooding in some of these locations.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I think twenty five Kentucky highways had to be shut
down yesterday due to flooding. And you know what, we
saw those water rescues happening in Nashville yesterday too, So yeah,
this rain is relentless.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
There was one one poor guy. He had parked his
car near where he lived. Obviously lived in an apartment complex,
but you know, he said, I parked it at the
high side of the park, and of course that ended
up in a creek underneath the bridge.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
It just you know, floated right off.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
But he had one of more more interesting responses, Well,
I guess, and we'll take the bus from now on.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I'm like, Wow, maybe didn't have insurance, but yeah, we
had our shrif flooding here in Middle Tennessee. Are coming
up this weekend on the Dive, Oh gosh, a whole
lot about We're also going to talk about if you
haven't heard, some of the extended parts of the interview
with the astronauts who came Home, we'll have some of
that featured. We'll talk about the troubles at Tesla and
the fact that the sales had been down, and how
(03:12):
Elon Musk may have to come back to the rescue
to write the ship. And that documentary that looks at
the art students who were living inside of a New
England shopping.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Mall for four years. It's a pretty funny movie that's
out now. Wow, pretty much my daughter's teenageers.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
That is the Weekend Dive with Rory O'Neil. It's heard
on many iheartstations across the country, but you can hear
it on demand on your iHeart app Rory, have a
great week, good job reporting. It was a pretty crazy
busy week, starting with Liberation Day, actually starting with the
special elections in Florida, which went well for the Republicans.
The two big elections, one went well for voter id
(03:51):
the other not so well. To maintain the liberal balance
of the court in the state of Wisconsin. Then Liberation Day,
then the market crashes. Here comes day two of the crash,
with a lot of severe weather in between. There is
a lot to make sense of. We call this our
little House of David. David Sanati joining us on the
line to put all this in perspective.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah, you're watching, how's the David thinking? Yeah, I was named.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Well all right, Well, before we get to House of
David the show and the show Down with Goliath, which
was released yesterday, let's talk about this crazy week. First
things first, from Wisconsin to Florida. What do we learn
from these elections?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Not much, Michael, not much.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
This was the low low loot before your election cycle,
and so you've got all kinds of stuff like the
Florida election.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
You know, we have an office in Florida since and.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Where we are right now, and fine, the guy who
won the Conyersattle seat and everyone's making a big deal.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
About lower turnout.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Well, look, he's not the most popular candidate among the
Conservatives in Florida. He was just the next guy in line.
I mean, even the Santis has been beat up on
him this week. So you know, no one's reporting that
side of it. Stories from the ground, what really looks like.
So there's really no trend lines here, There's no big deal.
I mean, the biggest story in the world right now, Well,
(05:08):
one of the biggest stories in the world right now
is the fact that we've got a federal judge who
thinks he really can run the country. And I mean
it's almost reached the point of being comic book hilarious.
And the Trump administration now recognizing that there are singular
judges who actually think that they can control the whole
nation in regards to immigration policy.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
It's remarkable.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Well, yeah, I thought we were heading in a different direction,
so you kind of through me. I think the biggest
story in the world right now is the tariffs and
what's happening with the market and what's happening with some
of these countries. And we've talked about this in the past.
Dangerous game to play with tariffs. It's long been talked about,
but very little acted on, and probably for this kind
of turbulence that we're experiencing right now.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
But on the other end of the.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Turbulence, is there is there success or is this just
the beginning of a losing, losing effort.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Well, and how one leads into the other.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Don't be surprised that we suddenly see a surge of
cases challenging the constitutionality of the teriffs in federal courts
and some other Obama appointed judge or some judge like
that will.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Turn around and say, oh, I got an idea.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
I can control international global economic.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Policy from America by my courtroom.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
So I think this is now the phase of the
revolution that we're coming into. Where are we going to
have a constitutional form of government or not? Or the
judge is going to control everything. Now, the questions you
raise about tariffs, there's a bigger one, And you know,
I always kind of go first, because I forget We've
got lots of people listening around of the howmedy cities now.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
But you know, tariffs are an interesting story.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
I don't find anybody very confident in their history and
in their evidence. What I hear is a lot of
people afraid of change. The truth of the matter is,
I'm not sure we know how this is going to workouts.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
And so the idea that.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Two trillion dollars of suddenly disappeared from the American economy
because of tariff's, yeah, maybe, but it might be back
in ten days.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Well, I had a friend and I won't name him
based on this particular content, but it was just like, hey,
we had two million dollars in orders canceled this week
from Europe. All right, you know that's that's real.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
That makes for very stressful ten days for them. We
saw yesterday Vietnam very disproportionate or on the President's worst
defenders list, along with Thailand, Thailand in India, you know,
and Canada even to some degree, all caving in the
first hours. So you know, as we heard the Ottawa
(07:46):
premiere say, you know, if the president will drop his tariffs,
will certainly drop ours. So we never have really had
a sense is this and art of the deal to
level the playing field. Yeah, we're going to come up
and tear a few but now that you've come to
your senses that we both need each other, now let's
work out a deal that is fair for both countries.
So I don't know how long it lasts. I don't
(08:07):
know if it's a short term play a long term play.
You can make the case long term that a lot
of manufacturing would move here, or if costs for Vietnam.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I'm thinking Nike.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I mean, virtually every Nike shoe is made in Vietnam,
so is most of the golf wear as you're wearing,
you know, and maybe we buy adeedas.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I don't know how it all plays out. I sense
that the better play is we mean it, and we're
going to move forward, and maybe we can have a
short term negotiation and avoid it. In other words, when
you brought up ten days, I think everybody's rooting for that,
because long term it gets a lot gets a lot
more uncomfortable.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Yeah, and Michael, look the history of tariffs and why
America as a government chose to use tariffs to raise
revenue as.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Opposed to tapsing her own people. That's the difference.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
You know, until we got to nineteen thirteen, there was
no income tax exactly, and so what we did was
we had excise taxes and we have had tariffs.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
That's how we funded our government.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
So is what the President's saying is it's time to
get back to the fundamental basics as to if we're
going to do international trade, we've got to balance these
skills up.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
It's kind of hard to argue with that.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
The question is everybody's in a reactionary mood right now.
And it's sort of remarkable that Wall Street and the
people who play there actually have the capacity of gash
float to throw two trillion away back and forth. And
it's just a part of doing business in an average month. Okay,
I mean, we've got to keep this in perspective. There
are people starving in the world right now, not knowing
(09:45):
if they're going to survive this day or the clean water.
And so, I mean, it's one of these questions of
how well do we have this balance? And the truth
is Donald Trump and his economic advisors have a vision
for restructuring the way we do business in America. That's
that's fair content. And everyone's had fair warning. This is
what we knew was coming. So there are bigger questions
(10:06):
that we've got to ask.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Now.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
It's wonderful to hear everybody talking about we're going to
have all these plants, all these plans.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
That's really exciting. We've just got one problem. Who's going
to work there. We got a gay population crisis right now.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
We're closing colleges left and right because there's no students,
because there's no children.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Yeah, hey, people aren't having kids, are getting married later,
they're having fewer children.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Fine, if we put a thousand new manufacturing plans and
we now suddenly have one hundred thousand.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Jobs that are available, who's going to pull it?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Well, But here's another ugly secret, and I think it
looks worse moving forward because abortion now is a pill,
it's now become a far pharmaceutical solution. Therefore, there's probably
going to be more, not less, and we are not
keeping up with replenishing our population as it is. David's
and Aaddi's the CEO of the American Policy round Table.
He hosts the Public Square, heard on two hundred stations,
(10:59):
and kind of talking about the tariffs in general. Would
the I mean, there are some that have alluded to
if he can level this playing field, and by the way,
Donald Trump is just the first to act upon it.
I've got audio in our Sounds of the Day. You're
gonna hear a younger Nancy Pelosi in about nineteen ninety
six laying out the very, very yeah, the very case
(11:19):
that Donald Trump is laying out right now. So both
sides of the aisle know this has been going on. No,
we've been getting ripped off. No, it's been unfair. If
you could ultimately the Hail Mary is touchdown and he
pulls this off, you could almost get rid of the
income tax based on the revenue from this, if you could.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
What would would he be wise?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Would he be wise though, to lay that out to
the American people? In other words, my friend who's saying
I just lost two million dollars worth of orders this week. Yeah,
but what if you wake up five years from now
there's no more income tax?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Now, how does your family look? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
I'm just saying you might want I think I I
think that's their ultimate vision. Now, Donald Trump, I can
play you on an audio clip with Oprah from nineteen eighty eight.
This has always rubbed him the wrong way. This has
been his lifelong mission. He supported Democrats and Republicans to
constantly address this, and none of them had the courage
to do it because of what we lived yesterday and
what we're going to live today. And the reality is,
(12:20):
they all know it's unfair. They all know it's needed
to be addressed. Donald Trump is finally addressing it. I
think that's the main passion there. But the other could
be replacing income tax. He might as well come out
and explain it to him because it's possible.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Well, and this is where the strategy of having three
plays going at the same time comes in. You've got
the whole question of doge and exposing the abuse and
being able to drop a trillion dollars from the annual deficit.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
That's a big deal.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
So he's made that play now he's got the Terriff
play going on, and right behind that is going to
come the big beautiful bill dealing with federal taxation.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
So he's got three things going.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Out at the same time, which makes sense when you've
only got four years, and it makes sense that when
you keep this going, the other side can't simply focus
on Elon Musk.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
There's three key plays.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
That would restructure the priorities of the way we do
business in America. And look, what we've got going right
now is working for some, but it's not working on.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
The long range. It's not going to keep going. We
can't keep going the way we're going. So I got
to give Trump a lot of credit.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah, not even the judges apparently yet can keep up
with that.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
It's Your Morning Show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
We're wrapping up with our final two minute Warning with
David Sinati this week, and my personal highlight was House
of David. You can watch it on Prime. It's the
latest from John Irwin and his great team. It tells
the story of King David. I said it this way.
There's great storytelling and then there's transporting you in place
and time. That's what this does. What a great asked,
(14:00):
what great writing, what great storytelling? And if you loved
let's say, Game of Thrones, you're going to love this
even more. I mean, it's just a visual and storytelling Jem.
Why is David's lesson so important?
Speaker 4 (14:14):
David, Well, I think for this particular film, treatment takes
us back in your description of it, and you feel
like you're there. I think the key point is understanding
that an ancient Israel, the presence of God was what
mattered in their everyday life, their closeness and their nearness
to their providers, and that that had something to do
(14:37):
with everything about their polity, everything about their government, everything
about their military, the sense that they were not alone
on this planet, and even if they were surrounded, they
were not alone. And that really shows in the battle
between David and Goliath.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Well, Saul forgot that, his son Jonathan didn't. Certainly the
young shepherd David didn't. And when it came to Goliath
for day, they're staring at this giant thinking it's insurmountable,
and only David reminds them the smallest in the group
with a sling, that have got before you, who can
be against you? It is amazing we encourage everyone to
watch it. They have been renewed for a second season.
(15:15):
So can you imagine you're starting soon? Right soon, very soon? Yeah,
I think this is I can't wait to hear that
this is the best thing on screen right now. I
hope everybody gets a chance to catch it on Prime.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Hi, this is Jimmy Bourne.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
My Morning show is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can
be heard live each weekday morning five to eighth Central,
six to nine Eastern in great cities like Nashville, Tennessee
two below, Mississippi and Sacramento, California. We love to be
a part of your morning routine and take the drive.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
To work with you.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
But better late than never. We're grateful you're here now.
Enjoy the podcast. Stock Market coming off. If it's worse
day in nearly five years, headed towards another bad day,
Hamas is reportedly ready to release the remaining fifty nine
hostages in Gaza and Gee, I don't know Jeffrey thought
the retired General Keane was Robert Tilton. Oh, the televangelist
(16:18):
yeap Red clearly had Bobby Sherman posters up in his
room as a child.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I need somebody I can respect.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Get me.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Angela and Phoenix. Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
This is Angela from Chandler, and I just wanted to
bring up something happened to other generations, like our parents' generation.
I'm sixty plus and then we in two thousand and
eight suffer a big market crash driven from political ways.
I mean, our analyst Tota is just ride it out.
(16:50):
It's gonna come back.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
So what's the difference.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Now, Well, there are two kinds of Americans, Americans that
feel like you. They support this president, they trust this president,
and then those who don't. So part of it is
the matrix, but there is you know, I think what
David Zinati was touching on.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Part of it is history.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
You know, you could be one hundred and ten years
old right now and you would have lived at a
time where there was no income tax in America. Tax
rates today, depending on your your bracket, can be as
high as almost fifty cents on a dollar. You work,
you risk, you invest, and they decide how much you
(17:30):
can keep.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Our founding fathers, of course use trade to avoid this,
but they'd be rolling over in their grave they went
to war over being robbed far less. There's a little
book by what was the Federer's first name?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
How am I going blank on? That I used to
have on the show all the time.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I love this guy because he wrote really good short books,
straight to the point. Why Because I'd rather you get
sixty pages of truth in your brain than send you
a book with three hundred and sixty pages that you
never finish reading. But if you look up Fetterer history
of Taxation, it will blow your mind. You just assume
(18:24):
the only thing that is certain in life is death
and taxes. Well, it used to only be death, and
even for major wars, it was a temporary one percent
tax that went away when the war ended until World
War One, and from there we went to the New Deal.
From there it was book ended after an assassination with
the Great Society, and suddenly government becomes the main source
(18:48):
and the main provider and not God. But at the
end of the day, instead of God and his riches
in glory that are endless, it's your hard earned money
they're using to fund their power and their agenda. I
would say this, Angela, I think you know I don't
do like there are other hosts that will tell you
(19:09):
how the president is playing, you know, five dimensional chests
against checker. I do think that the president is playing
a hand that was once held by many, and he's
got the guts to stay in and go all in.
But I think he's got more cards in his hands
than we're discussing right now. And I just have a
(19:30):
sneaking suspicion and I'll leave it for the rest of
you to put back into your nostrudel journal file. Maybe
at the end of this is the elimination of all
income text because it would become unnecessary. And maybe if
that's what he would propose, people would be a little
(19:53):
bit more willing to play along and even suffer along
a little bit when they see the victory is ultimately theirs.
This is a president championing not the rich, the middle class.
Some will have the stomach, some won't, But if they
have all the information, they might find some stomach. I'll
tell you what I mean right now in our sounds
(20:15):
of the day.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Look, you just gotta try harder. Not the opportunity for
a brief ever consultant.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
Sure to be alone with a deteriorating mental conditions.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Hole in the ground.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
All right, as we say, always revealing, often entertaining, here's
your sounds of the day, and today we feature flashback.
You'll be spared the visual. But this is Nancy Pelosi
in nineteen ninety six in Congress delivering a speech. What
a difference thirty years makes. Nancy Pelosi in her day
(20:55):
was a very, very beautiful woman and a very articulate woman.
I mean, had Nancy not stayed what is presumably going
to be until the toe tag, she would have served
and served well, had a legacy, and left.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
But she's just stayed so long. I think she'll have
a much different legacy.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
But here's a younger, more beautiful, more articulate, and funny.
Listen is Nancy Pelosi in nineteen ninety six lays out
the very case the president is laying out today that
she's fighting.
Speaker 7 (21:29):
Listen, how far does China have to go, how much
more repression, how big a trade deficit and loss of
jobs for the American.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Worker, and how much more.
Speaker 7 (21:41):
Dangerous proliferation has to exist before members of this House
of Representatives will say I will not endorse the status quo.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
So one of the big issues is the president is
creating a constitutional crisis because he does not have the
authority to put in place these tariffs. Only Congress does.
Here's Nancy Pelosi in nineteen ninety six, proving to you
that since nineteen ninety six, Congress has never had the courage,
(22:11):
but Donald Trump does. And why did Nancy agree with
the president? Then?
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Listen, As I.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
Mentioned, it's about jobs, proliferation, and human rights. And there
are those who say we shouldn't link human rights in
trade and proliferation and trade.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I disagree. But if we just want to take up.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
This issue on the basis of economics alone, indeed, China
should not receive Most Favored Nation status for.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Several reasons that I'd like to go into. Now.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
I'd like to call the attention of our colleagues to
this chart on By the.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Way, Donald Trump from the Rose Garden declared Liberation Day
with the chart. Here's Nancy Pelosi thirty years earlier with
their own chart.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
The status quo that the business community is asking each
and every one of you, to each and every one
of us to endorse today. Right now, we have a
thirty four billion dollar trade deficit with China, the nineteen
ninety five figure. It will be over forty billion dollars
for nineteen ninety six. Since the Tenement Square massacre, this
(23:13):
figure has increased one thousand percent from three and a
half billion then to about thirty four billion dollars now.
In terms of tariffs, it's think it's interesting to note
that the average US MFN tariff on Chinese goods coming
into the United States is two percent, whereas the average
Chinese MFF tariff on US goods going into China is
(23:35):
thirty five percent.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Today it's sixty seven percent today. The US trade deficit
with China is two hundred and ninety five point four billion.
So she's going through these numbers. Keep in mind they've
gotten worse.
Speaker 7 (23:51):
Is that reciprocal on exports. China only allows certain industries
into China of US industries into China, and therefore only
two percent of US exports are allowed into China. On
the other hand, the US allows China to flood our
markets with thirty a third of their exports, and that'll
(24:11):
probably go over forty percent. And it's limitless because we
have not placed any restriction.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I'm gonna interrupt real quick just to say I know
you elected Donald Trump. Even sensible democrats, let alone independence
and Republicans to secure the border. And he has to
rid us of this invasion of criminals. And you've had
(24:37):
one hundred and fifteen thousand arrested and one hundred thousand deported.
I know he's done that for you. You also hired
him to fix inflation, cost of living, and create a
strong economy, not a big indeficit strong government. If you
don't get Donald Trump's vision, for whatever reason, you don't
(25:02):
want to live the pain to get there. You have
a derangement syndrome that just hates him no matter what
he says. Maybe you don't get what he's really building.
Nancy Pelosi did in nineteen ninety six. Watch when she
lays out you think there's a trade deficit, what do
(25:23):
you see the jobs deficit?
Speaker 1 (25:25):
In terms of jobs.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
This is the biggest and cruelest hoax of all. Not
only do we not have market access, not only do
they have prohibitive tariffs. Not only are our exports not
let in very specifically, but China benefits with at least
at least ten million jobs from US China trade. The President,
(25:48):
in his statement requesting this special waiver, said that China
trade supports one hundred and seventy thousand jobs in the
United States one hundred and seventy thousand jobs, whereas our
imports from China support ten million jobs at least. The
fact is that US China trade is a job loser,
(26:11):
and one of the reasons that it is is because
in order well first, let me just make another point,
and that is that our colleagues on the other side
of this issue will say the trade with China, exports
to China have increased three times in the last ten years.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
They have, but they failed.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
To mention that exports imports from China have increased eleven times, and.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
All these numbers are worse today. That's Nancy Pelosi thirty
years ago making Donald Trump's case today, and she was
making the case against her own party's president, Bill Clinton
and the Republicans going along with Bill Clinton in this waiver. Amazing,
(26:59):
isn't it? What's changed? Did you hear her use the
R word?
Speaker 1 (27:05):
She even used reciprocal.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Now, yesterday we talked about Look, I think Donald Trump
used the border. I think he was passionate about securing
the border. I think he was passionate about the sovereignty
of our country. I think he was passionate about law
and order and our safety and protection. I don't doubt
that at all, and that was certainly the issue that
he rode to victory in twenty sixteen. But the driving
(27:30):
passion Donald Trump, who was a Democrat then probably supporting
Nancy Pelosi because of that courageous speech in nineteen ninety six,
got tired of both Republicans and Democrats not addressing how
we're getting ripped off, and that came up with OPRAH.
If the theme is flashback, let's go all the way
(27:52):
back to nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 8 (27:53):
You took out a full page ad in major US
newspapers last year criticizing US foreign policy.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
What would you do differently?
Speaker 6 (28:00):
I'd make our allies forgetting about the enemies, the enemies
you can't talk to so easily. I'd make our allies
pay their fair share. We're a debtor nation. Something's going
to happen over the next number of years with this
country because you can't keep going on losing two hundred billion,
and yet we let Japan come in and dump everything
right into our markets and everything.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
It's not free trade.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
If you ever go to Japan right now and try
to sell something, forget about it out but just forget
about it. It's almost impossible. They don't have laws against it.
They just make it impossible. They come over here, they
sell their cars, their VCRs. They knock the hell out
of our companies. And hey, I have tremendous respect for
the Japanese people. I mean, you can respect somebody that's
beating the hell out of you, But they are beating
the hell out of this country Kuwait. They live like kings.
(28:39):
The poorest person in Kuwait they live like kings. And
yet they're not paying. We make it possible for them
to sell their oil. Why aren't they paying us twenty
five percent of what they're making.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
It's a joke.
Speaker 8 (28:49):
This sounds like political presidential talk to me. And I
know people have talked to you about whether or not
you want to run.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Would you ever?
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Probably not? But I do get tired of seeing the country.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Why would you not?
Speaker 6 (29:01):
I just don't think I really have the inclination to
do it.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I love what I'm doing. I really like it.
Speaker 8 (29:06):
Also doesn't pay as well, it.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
Doesn't, but you know, I just probably wouldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
You know what this flashback shows you. Donald Trump hasn't
changed a bit. He sounded the same in nineteen eighty
eight as he sounds today the boy Nancy Pelosi has.
And the one thing we're not looking at is how
much the American people's willingness to understand, willingness to pay
(29:36):
any price, fight any fight for liberty, freedom and prosperity.
That's changed a lot too.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
They all look like a bunch of girly men.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
The ability doesn't make even change.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
That is your Sounds of yesterday and your Sounds of today.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
This is your morning Show with Michael del Chrono talkback
line we go. Who was the last one? This is
Keith West Coast Trucker.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Oh, West Coast Trucker, Keith, Welcome.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Good morning gentlemen. Was it William J. Federer?
Speaker 9 (30:22):
Interesting history of taxes?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (30:27):
I think he's done a follow up. It was originally
the history of taxation there now does seem to be
interesting what he just said, the interesting look at the
taxation in America.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
And it is William J. Federer. I used to have
William on almost weekly. He was a fascinating guy.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
I think he was from Saint Louis or Kansas City,
I can't remember. But a historian he wrote. He wrote
a lot of great books, but there's none of them.
I don't recommend, but the history of taxation is a
must read.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
All right. We talked about the nasty weather. It's going
to continue.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Now that line that just kind of seemed to pummeled
the same cities for three days. It's shifted west, but
it still brings with it the chance of tornadoes, severe thunderstorms,
and more importantly, dumping tons of rain that's leading to flooding.
So localized flooding is the great concern. Some fifty million
Americans will face this nasty weather again today. I think
(31:21):
we're spared here in Middle Tennessee. The stock market coming
off the worst day in five years. The futures look
even as bad today. Hamas seems to come to its census.
After Israel's been pounding them on the ground in the Gaza,
they now come forward and say they're willing to release
fifty nine hostages if a permanent ceasefire with Israel can
be reached.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Again.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Certain enemies do not respond. Certainly they're emboldened by appeasement,
but they do not respond to anything other than show
of force and strength, and that seems to be the
case for Hamas again. Now they've said this before. Let's
see if they follow through. And I wouldn't keep your
hopes up for more than about twenty five of those
fifty nine to be living hostages. And doctor Oz finally
(32:02):
got confirmed. When you think of everything Donald Trump has
gotten done, he still has people being confirmed in this process.
And then we talked about the madness continuing. Tomorrow afternoon
in San Antonio, the Final four gets underway the All
SEC semi final Florida and Auburn at five oh nine Central,
followed at about seven forty nine by Duke and Houston,
(32:25):
and the national Championship game will be Monday evening. Got
some sad news on Bobby Sherman, the heart throb from
the sixties and early seventies, apparently battling stage four lung cancer.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
His wife says he's termanly ill.
Speaker 9 (32:43):
Hey, you've got to Sherman's wife, Bridget Publon, told Fox
News Digital that her eighty one year old husband is
at home with special care and that everything shutting down
in his body. Sherman was a teen idol in the
late nineteen sixties and early seventies, with top ten hits
such as Little Woman, Julie, Do You Love Me? And
(33:05):
easy come, easy go.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Julyd you did July? Do you love me now?
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Right by the way, just for confirmation sake, did not
have Bobby Sherman posters out in his room, but his
sister's dick.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Ndheld Joano
Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show can be heard live five to eight
am Central, six to nine Eastern and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio,
or Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and we're grateful you're here. Now, enjoy
the podcast. You are RUSI for Cootada and raise you
thirty four percent for Kotada. And as the fighting continues,
(00:21):
as stock market futures look as bad today as they
did yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Meanwhile, Hamas has.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Come to their senses and ready to release the remaining
fifty nine hostages. Israel's mission on the ground into the
Gaza seems to have gotten their attention.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
And nasty weather.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
You know, I was looking yesterday because late in the afternoon,
I'm just I'm staring, you know, getting all these tornado warnings,
severe weather warnings, and I'm like, man, we just over
and over again, like deja boo. And when you looked
at the temperature map, you could just see the thirty
degree difference of a cold front and then that line
just extending and it was not just across Tennessee, but
(01:02):
literally right across my neighborhood. Is where the colder in
the warm air met and rory that just kind of
sat here for three days and produced a lot of
really deadly storms in the.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
US right seven confirmed fatalities and these warnings that there's
a lot more rain on the way for big parts
of the country. You look at the map right now,
you can see that line of showers essentially going from
New York to Memphis and then covering just all of
Oklahoma right now, and they're really warning of some pretty
(01:33):
significant rainfall, life.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Threatening flash flooding.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
So the message is stay off the roads one two,
stay home, and if they tell you to evacuate your home,
get out because this flooding can be deadly.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah, the flooding kind of creeps up on you, and
you know, usually catches you not making the right decision.
And you know, obviously when you start driving into flooding,
stop and go the other way would be one thing.
But flooding probably the bigger concern for today than tornadic
activity right.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Right, well, right the tornadoes seemed to be dying down,
but now we're concerned about this deluge that's non stops
and from Arkansas to Kentucky they're calling them for once
in a generation.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Flooding in some of these locations.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I think twenty five Kentucky highways had to be shut
down yesterday due to flooding. And you know what, we
saw those water rescues happening in Nashville yesterday too, So yeah,
this rain is relentless.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
There was one one poor guy. He had parked his
car near where he lived. Obviously lived in an apartment complex,
but you know, he said, I parked it at the
high side of the park, and of course that ended
up in a creek underneath the bridge.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
It just you know, floated right off.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
But he had one of more more interesting responses, Well,
I guess, and we'll take the bus from now on.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I'm like, Wow, maybe didn't have insurance, but yeah, we
had our shrif flooding here in Middle Tennessee. Are coming
up this weekend on the Dive, Oh gosh, a whole
lot about We're also going to talk about if you
haven't heard, some of the extended parts of the interview
with the astronauts who came Home, we'll have some of
that featured. We'll talk about the troubles at Tesla and
the fact that the sales had been down, and how
(03:12):
Elon Musk may have to come back to the rescue
to write the ship. And that documentary that looks at
the art students who were living inside of a New
England shopping.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Mall for four years. It's a pretty funny movie that's
out now. Wow, pretty much my daughter's teenageers.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
That is the Weekend Dive with Rory O'Neil. It's heard
on many iheartstations across the country, but you can hear
it on demand on your iHeart app Rory, have a
great week, good job reporting. It was a pretty crazy
busy week, starting with Liberation Day, actually starting with the
special elections in Florida, which went well for the Republicans.
The two big elections, one went well for voter id
(03:51):
the other not so well. To maintain the liberal balance
of the court in the state of Wisconsin. Then Liberation Day,
then the market crashes. Here comes day two of the crash,
with a lot of severe weather in between. There is
a lot to make sense of. We call this our
little House of David. David Sanati joining us on the
line to put all this in perspective.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah, you're watching, how's the David thinking? Yeah, I was named.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Well all right, Well, before we get to House of
David the show and the show Down with Goliath, which
was released yesterday, let's talk about this crazy week. First
things first, from Wisconsin to Florida. What do we learn
from these elections?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Not much, Michael, not much.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
This was the low low loot before your election cycle,
and so you've got all kinds of stuff like the
Florida election.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
You know, we have an office in Florida since and.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Where we are right now, and fine, the guy who
won the Conyersattle seat and everyone's making a big deal.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
About lower turnout.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Well, look, he's not the most popular candidate among the
Conservatives in Florida. He was just the next guy in line.
I mean, even the Santis has been beat up on
him this week. So you know, no one's reporting that
side of it. Stories from the ground, what really looks like.
So there's really no trend lines here, There's no big deal.
I mean, the biggest story in the world right now, Well,
(05:08):
one of the biggest stories in the world right now
is the fact that we've got a federal judge who
thinks he really can run the country. And I mean
it's almost reached the point of being comic book hilarious.
And the Trump administration now recognizing that there are singular
judges who actually think that they can control the whole
nation in regards to immigration policy.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
It's remarkable.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Well, yeah, I thought we were heading in a different direction,
so you kind of through me. I think the biggest
story in the world right now is the tariffs and
what's happening with the market and what's happening with some
of these countries. And we've talked about this in the past.
Dangerous game to play with tariffs. It's long been talked about,
but very little acted on, and probably for this kind
of turbulence that we're experiencing right now.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
But on the other end of the.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Turbulence, is there is there success or is this just
the beginning of a losing, losing effort.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Well, and how one leads into the other.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Don't be surprised that we suddenly see a surge of
cases challenging the constitutionality of the teriffs in federal courts
and some other Obama appointed judge or some judge like
that will.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Turn around and say, oh, I got an idea.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
I can control international global economic.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Policy from America by my courtroom.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
So I think this is now the phase of the
revolution that we're coming into. Where are we going to
have a constitutional form of government or not? Or the
judge is going to control everything. Now, the questions you
raise about tariffs, there's a bigger one, And you know,
I always kind of go first, because I forget We've
got lots of people listening around of the howmedy cities now.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
But you know, tariffs are an interesting story.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
I don't find anybody very confident in their history and
in their evidence. What I hear is a lot of
people afraid of change. The truth of the matter is,
I'm not sure we know how this is going to workouts.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
And so the idea that.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Two trillion dollars of suddenly disappeared from the American economy
because of tariff's, yeah, maybe, but it might be back
in ten days.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Well, I had a friend and I won't name him
based on this particular content, but it was just like, hey,
we had two million dollars in orders canceled this week
from Europe. All right, you know that's that's real.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
That makes for very stressful ten days for them. We
saw yesterday Vietnam very disproportionate or on the President's worst
defenders list, along with Thailand, Thailand in India, you know,
and Canada even to some degree, all caving in the
first hours. So you know, as we heard the Ottawa
(07:46):
premiere say, you know, if the president will drop his tariffs,
will certainly drop ours. So we never have really had
a sense is this and art of the deal to
level the playing field. Yeah, we're going to come up
and tear a few but now that you've come to
your senses that we both need each other, now let's
work out a deal that is fair for both countries.
So I don't know how long it lasts. I don't
(08:07):
know if it's a short term play a long term play.
You can make the case long term that a lot
of manufacturing would move here, or if costs for Vietnam.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I'm thinking Nike.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I mean, virtually every Nike shoe is made in Vietnam,
so is most of the golf wear as you're wearing,
you know, and maybe we buy adeedas.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I don't know how it all plays out. I sense
that the better play is we mean it, and we're
going to move forward, and maybe we can have a
short term negotiation and avoid it. In other words, when
you brought up ten days, I think everybody's rooting for that,
because long term it gets a lot gets a lot
more uncomfortable.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Yeah, and Michael, look the history of tariffs and why
America as a government chose to use tariffs to raise
revenue as.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Opposed to tapsing her own people. That's the difference.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
You know, until we got to nineteen thirteen, there was
no income tax exactly, and so what we did was
we had excise taxes and we have had tariffs.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
That's how we funded our government.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
So is what the President's saying is it's time to
get back to the fundamental basics as to if we're
going to do international trade, we've got to balance these
skills up.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
It's kind of hard to argue with that.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
The question is everybody's in a reactionary mood right now.
And it's sort of remarkable that Wall Street and the
people who play there actually have the capacity of gash
float to throw two trillion away back and forth. And
it's just a part of doing business in an average month. Okay,
I mean, we've got to keep this in perspective. There
are people starving in the world right now, not knowing
(09:45):
if they're going to survive this day or the clean water.
And so, I mean, it's one of these questions of
how well do we have this balance? And the truth
is Donald Trump and his economic advisors have a vision
for restructuring the way we do business in America. That's
that's fair content. And everyone's had fair warning. This is
what we knew was coming. So there are bigger questions
(10:06):
that we've got to ask.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Now.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
It's wonderful to hear everybody talking about we're going to
have all these plants, all these plans.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
That's really exciting. We've just got one problem. Who's going
to work there. We got a gay population crisis right now.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
We're closing colleges left and right because there's no students,
because there's no children.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Yeah, hey, people aren't having kids, are getting married later,
they're having fewer children.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Fine, if we put a thousand new manufacturing plans and
we now suddenly have one hundred thousand.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Jobs that are available, who's going to pull it?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Well, But here's another ugly secret, and I think it
looks worse moving forward because abortion now is a pill,
it's now become a far pharmaceutical solution. Therefore, there's probably
going to be more, not less, and we are not
keeping up with replenishing our population as it is. David's
and Aaddi's the CEO of the American Policy round Table.
He hosts the Public Square, heard on two hundred stations,
(10:59):
and kind of talking about the tariffs in general. Would
the I mean, there are some that have alluded to
if he can level this playing field, and by the way,
Donald Trump is just the first to act upon it.
I've got audio in our Sounds of the Day. You're
gonna hear a younger Nancy Pelosi in about nineteen ninety
six laying out the very, very yeah, the very case
(11:19):
that Donald Trump is laying out right now. So both
sides of the aisle know this has been going on. No,
we've been getting ripped off. No, it's been unfair. If
you could ultimately the Hail Mary is touchdown and he
pulls this off, you could almost get rid of the
income tax based on the revenue from this, if you could.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
What would would he be wise?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Would he be wise though, to lay that out to
the American people? In other words, my friend who's saying
I just lost two million dollars worth of orders this week. Yeah,
but what if you wake up five years from now
there's no more income tax?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Now, how does your family look? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
I'm just saying you might want I think I I
think that's their ultimate vision. Now, Donald Trump, I can
play you on an audio clip with Oprah from nineteen eighty eight.
This has always rubbed him the wrong way. This has
been his lifelong mission. He supported Democrats and Republicans to
constantly address this, and none of them had the courage
to do it because of what we lived yesterday and
what we're going to live today. And the reality is,
(12:20):
they all know it's unfair. They all know it's needed
to be addressed. Donald Trump is finally addressing it. I
think that's the main passion there. But the other could
be replacing income tax. He might as well come out
and explain it to him because it's possible.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Well, and this is where the strategy of having three
plays going at the same time comes in. You've got
the whole question of doge and exposing the abuse and
being able to drop a trillion dollars from the annual deficit.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
That's a big deal.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
So he's made that play now he's got the Terriff
play going on, and right behind that is going to
come the big beautiful bill dealing with federal taxation.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
So he's got three things going.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Out at the same time, which makes sense when you've
only got four years, and it makes sense that when
you keep this going, the other side can't simply focus
on Elon Musk.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
There's three key plays.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
That would restructure the priorities of the way we do
business in America. And look, what we've got going right
now is working for some, but it's not working on.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
The long range. It's not going to keep going. We
can't keep going the way we're going. So I got
to give Trump a lot of credit.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah, not even the judges apparently yet can keep up
with that.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
It's Your Morning Show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
We're wrapping up with our final two minute Warning with
David Sinati this week, and my personal highlight was House
of David. You can watch it on Prime. It's the
latest from John Irwin and his great team. It tells
the story of King David. I said it this way.
There's great storytelling and then there's transporting you in place
and time. That's what this does. What a great asked,
(14:00):
what great writing, what great storytelling? And if you loved
let's say, Game of Thrones, you're going to love this
even more. I mean, it's just a visual and storytelling Jem.
Why is David's lesson so important?
Speaker 4 (14:14):
David, Well, I think for this particular film, treatment takes
us back in your description of it, and you feel
like you're there. I think the key point is understanding
that an ancient Israel, the presence of God was what
mattered in their everyday life, their closeness and their nearness
to their providers, and that that had something to do
(14:37):
with everything about their polity, everything about their government, everything
about their military, the sense that they were not alone
on this planet, and even if they were surrounded, they
were not alone. And that really shows in the battle
between David and Goliath.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Well, Saul forgot that, his son Jonathan didn't. Certainly the
young shepherd David didn't. And when it came to Goliath
for day, they're staring at this giant thinking it's insurmountable,
and only David reminds them the smallest in the group
with a sling, that have got before you, who can
be against you? It is amazing we encourage everyone to
watch it. They have been renewed for a second season.
(15:15):
So can you imagine you're starting soon? Right soon, very soon? Yeah,
I think this is I can't wait to hear that
this is the best thing on screen right now. I
hope everybody gets a chance to catch it on Prime.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Hi, this is Jimmy Bourne.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
My Morning show is your Morning Show with Michael del Jorno.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show can
be heard live each weekday morning five to eighth Central,
six to nine Eastern in great cities like Nashville, Tennessee
two below, Mississippi and Sacramento, California. We love to be
a part of your morning routine and take the drive.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
To work with you.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
But better late than never. We're grateful you're here now.
Enjoy the podcast. Stock Market coming off. If it's worse
day in nearly five years, headed towards another bad day,
Hamas is reportedly ready to release the remaining fifty nine
hostages in Gaza and Gee, I don't know Jeffrey thought
the retired General Keane was Robert Tilton. Oh, the televangelist
(16:18):
yeap Red clearly had Bobby Sherman posters up in his
room as a child.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I need somebody I can respect.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Get me.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Angela and Phoenix. Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
This is Angela from Chandler, and I just wanted to
bring up something happened to other generations, like our parents' generation.
I'm sixty plus and then we in two thousand and
eight suffer a big market crash driven from political ways.
I mean, our analyst Tota is just ride it out.
(16:50):
It's gonna come back.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
So what's the difference.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Now, Well, there are two kinds of Americans, Americans that
feel like you. They support this president, they trust this president,
and then those who don't. So part of it is
the matrix, but there is you know, I think what
David Zinati was touching on.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Part of it is history.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
You know, you could be one hundred and ten years
old right now and you would have lived at a
time where there was no income tax in America. Tax
rates today, depending on your your bracket, can be as
high as almost fifty cents on a dollar. You work,
you risk, you invest, and they decide how much you
(17:30):
can keep.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Our founding fathers, of course use trade to avoid this,
but they'd be rolling over in their grave they went
to war over being robbed far less. There's a little
book by what was the Federer's first name?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
How am I going blank on? That I used to
have on the show all the time.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I love this guy because he wrote really good short books,
straight to the point. Why Because I'd rather you get
sixty pages of truth in your brain than send you
a book with three hundred and sixty pages that you
never finish reading. But if you look up Fetterer history
of Taxation, it will blow your mind. You just assume
(18:24):
the only thing that is certain in life is death
and taxes. Well, it used to only be death, and
even for major wars, it was a temporary one percent
tax that went away when the war ended until World
War One, and from there we went to the New Deal.
From there it was book ended after an assassination with
the Great Society, and suddenly government becomes the main source
(18:48):
and the main provider and not God. But at the
end of the day, instead of God and his riches
in glory that are endless, it's your hard earned money
they're using to fund their power and their agenda. I
would say this, Angela, I think you know I don't
do like there are other hosts that will tell you
(19:09):
how the president is playing, you know, five dimensional chests
against checker. I do think that the president is playing
a hand that was once held by many, and he's
got the guts to stay in and go all in.
But I think he's got more cards in his hands
than we're discussing right now. And I just have a
(19:30):
sneaking suspicion and I'll leave it for the rest of
you to put back into your nostrudel journal file. Maybe
at the end of this is the elimination of all
income text because it would become unnecessary. And maybe if
that's what he would propose, people would be a little
(19:53):
bit more willing to play along and even suffer along
a little bit when they see the victory is ultimately theirs.
This is a president championing not the rich, the middle class.
Some will have the stomach, some won't, But if they
have all the information, they might find some stomach. I'll
tell you what I mean right now in our sounds
(20:15):
of the day.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Look, you just gotta try harder. Not the opportunity for
a brief ever consultant.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
Sure to be alone with a deteriorating mental conditions.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Hole in the ground.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
All right, as we say, always revealing, often entertaining, here's
your sounds of the day, and today we feature flashback.
You'll be spared the visual. But this is Nancy Pelosi
in nineteen ninety six in Congress delivering a speech. What
a difference thirty years makes. Nancy Pelosi in her day
(20:55):
was a very, very beautiful woman and a very articulate woman.
I mean, had Nancy not stayed what is presumably going
to be until the toe tag, she would have served
and served well, had a legacy, and left.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
But she's just stayed so long. I think she'll have
a much different legacy.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
But here's a younger, more beautiful, more articulate, and funny.
Listen is Nancy Pelosi in nineteen ninety six lays out
the very case the president is laying out today that
she's fighting.
Speaker 7 (21:29):
Listen, how far does China have to go, how much
more repression, how big a trade deficit and loss of
jobs for the American.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Worker, and how much more.
Speaker 7 (21:41):
Dangerous proliferation has to exist before members of this House
of Representatives will say I will not endorse the status quo.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
So one of the big issues is the president is
creating a constitutional crisis because he does not have the
authority to put in place these tariffs. Only Congress does.
Here's Nancy Pelosi in nineteen ninety six, proving to you
that since nineteen ninety six, Congress has never had the courage,
(22:11):
but Donald Trump does. And why did Nancy agree with
the president? Then?
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Listen, As I.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
Mentioned, it's about jobs, proliferation, and human rights. And there
are those who say we shouldn't link human rights in
trade and proliferation and trade.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I disagree. But if we just want to take up.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
This issue on the basis of economics alone, indeed, China
should not receive Most Favored Nation status for.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Several reasons that I'd like to go into. Now.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
I'd like to call the attention of our colleagues to
this chart on By the.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Way, Donald Trump from the Rose Garden declared Liberation Day
with the chart. Here's Nancy Pelosi thirty years earlier with
their own chart.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
The status quo that the business community is asking each
and every one of you, to each and every one
of us to endorse today. Right now, we have a
thirty four billion dollar trade deficit with China, the nineteen
ninety five figure. It will be over forty billion dollars
for nineteen ninety six. Since the Tenement Square massacre, this
(23:13):
figure has increased one thousand percent from three and a
half billion then to about thirty four billion dollars now.
In terms of tariffs, it's think it's interesting to note
that the average US MFN tariff on Chinese goods coming
into the United States is two percent, whereas the average
Chinese MFF tariff on US goods going into China is
(23:35):
thirty five percent.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Today it's sixty seven percent today. The US trade deficit
with China is two hundred and ninety five point four billion.
So she's going through these numbers. Keep in mind they've
gotten worse.
Speaker 7 (23:51):
Is that reciprocal on exports. China only allows certain industries
into China of US industries into China, and therefore only
two percent of US exports are allowed into China. On
the other hand, the US allows China to flood our
markets with thirty a third of their exports, and that'll
(24:11):
probably go over forty percent. And it's limitless because we
have not placed any restriction.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I'm gonna interrupt real quick just to say I know
you elected Donald Trump. Even sensible democrats, let alone independence
and Republicans to secure the border. And he has to
rid us of this invasion of criminals. And you've had
(24:37):
one hundred and fifteen thousand arrested and one hundred thousand deported.
I know he's done that for you. You also hired
him to fix inflation, cost of living, and create a
strong economy, not a big indeficit strong government. If you
don't get Donald Trump's vision, for whatever reason, you don't
(25:02):
want to live the pain to get there. You have
a derangement syndrome that just hates him no matter what
he says. Maybe you don't get what he's really building.
Nancy Pelosi did in nineteen ninety six. Watch when she
lays out you think there's a trade deficit, what do
(25:23):
you see the jobs deficit?
Speaker 1 (25:25):
In terms of jobs.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
This is the biggest and cruelest hoax of all. Not
only do we not have market access, not only do
they have prohibitive tariffs. Not only are our exports not
let in very specifically, but China benefits with at least
at least ten million jobs from US China trade. The President,
(25:48):
in his statement requesting this special waiver, said that China
trade supports one hundred and seventy thousand jobs in the
United States one hundred and seventy thousand jobs, whereas our
imports from China support ten million jobs at least. The
fact is that US China trade is a job loser,
(26:11):
and one of the reasons that it is is because
in order well first, let me just make another point,
and that is that our colleagues on the other side
of this issue will say the trade with China, exports
to China have increased three times in the last ten years.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
They have, but they failed.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
To mention that exports imports from China have increased eleven times, and.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
All these numbers are worse today. That's Nancy Pelosi thirty
years ago making Donald Trump's case today, and she was
making the case against her own party's president, Bill Clinton
and the Republicans going along with Bill Clinton in this waiver. Amazing,
(26:59):
isn't it? What's changed? Did you hear her use the
R word?
Speaker 1 (27:05):
She even used reciprocal.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Now, yesterday we talked about Look, I think Donald Trump
used the border. I think he was passionate about securing
the border. I think he was passionate about the sovereignty
of our country. I think he was passionate about law
and order and our safety and protection. I don't doubt
that at all, and that was certainly the issue that
he rode to victory in twenty sixteen. But the driving
(27:30):
passion Donald Trump, who was a Democrat then probably supporting
Nancy Pelosi because of that courageous speech in nineteen ninety six,
got tired of both Republicans and Democrats not addressing how
we're getting ripped off, and that came up with OPRAH.
If the theme is flashback, let's go all the way
(27:52):
back to nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 8 (27:53):
You took out a full page ad in major US
newspapers last year criticizing US foreign policy.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
What would you do differently?
Speaker 6 (28:00):
I'd make our allies forgetting about the enemies, the enemies
you can't talk to so easily. I'd make our allies
pay their fair share. We're a debtor nation. Something's going
to happen over the next number of years with this
country because you can't keep going on losing two hundred billion,
and yet we let Japan come in and dump everything
right into our markets and everything.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
It's not free trade.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
If you ever go to Japan right now and try
to sell something, forget about it out but just forget
about it. It's almost impossible. They don't have laws against it.
They just make it impossible. They come over here, they
sell their cars, their VCRs. They knock the hell out
of our companies. And hey, I have tremendous respect for
the Japanese people. I mean, you can respect somebody that's
beating the hell out of you, But they are beating
the hell out of this country Kuwait. They live like kings.
(28:39):
The poorest person in Kuwait they live like kings. And
yet they're not paying. We make it possible for them
to sell their oil. Why aren't they paying us twenty
five percent of what they're making.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
It's a joke.
Speaker 8 (28:49):
This sounds like political presidential talk to me. And I
know people have talked to you about whether or not
you want to run.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Would you ever?
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Probably not? But I do get tired of seeing the country.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Why would you not?
Speaker 6 (29:01):
I just don't think I really have the inclination to
do it.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I love what I'm doing. I really like it.
Speaker 8 (29:06):
Also doesn't pay as well, it.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
Doesn't, but you know, I just probably wouldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
You know what this flashback shows you. Donald Trump hasn't
changed a bit. He sounded the same in nineteen eighty
eight as he sounds today the boy Nancy Pelosi has.
And the one thing we're not looking at is how
much the American people's willingness to understand, willingness to pay
(29:36):
any price, fight any fight for liberty, freedom and prosperity.
That's changed a lot too.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
They all look like a bunch of girly men.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
The ability doesn't make even change.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
That is your Sounds of yesterday and your Sounds of today.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
This is your morning Show with Michael del Chrono talkback
line we go. Who was the last one? This is
Keith West Coast Trucker.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Oh, West Coast Trucker, Keith, Welcome.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Good morning gentlemen. Was it William J. Federer?
Speaker 9 (30:22):
Interesting history of taxes?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (30:27):
I think he's done a follow up. It was originally
the history of taxation there now does seem to be
interesting what he just said, the interesting look at the
taxation in America.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
And it is William J. Federer. I used to have
William on almost weekly. He was a fascinating guy.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
I think he was from Saint Louis or Kansas City,
I can't remember. But a historian he wrote. He wrote
a lot of great books, but there's none of them.
I don't recommend, but the history of taxation is a
must read.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
All right. We talked about the nasty weather. It's going
to continue.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Now that line that just kind of seemed to pummeled
the same cities for three days. It's shifted west, but
it still brings with it the chance of tornadoes, severe thunderstorms,
and more importantly, dumping tons of rain that's leading to flooding.
So localized flooding is the great concern. Some fifty million
Americans will face this nasty weather again today. I think
(31:21):
we're spared here in Middle Tennessee. The stock market coming
off the worst day in five years. The futures look
even as bad today. Hamas seems to come to its census.
After Israel's been pounding them on the ground in the Gaza,
they now come forward and say they're willing to release
fifty nine hostages if a permanent ceasefire with Israel can
be reached.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Again.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Certain enemies do not respond. Certainly they're emboldened by appeasement,
but they do not respond to anything other than show
of force and strength, and that seems to be the
case for Hamas again. Now they've said this before. Let's
see if they follow through. And I wouldn't keep your
hopes up for more than about twenty five of those
fifty nine to be living hostages. And doctor Oz finally
(32:02):
got confirmed. When you think of everything Donald Trump has
gotten done, he still has people being confirmed in this process.
And then we talked about the madness continuing. Tomorrow afternoon
in San Antonio, the Final four gets underway the All
SEC semi final Florida and Auburn at five oh nine Central,
followed at about seven forty nine by Duke and Houston,
(32:25):
and the national Championship game will be Monday evening. Got
some sad news on Bobby Sherman, the heart throb from
the sixties and early seventies, apparently battling stage four lung cancer.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
His wife says he's termanly ill.
Speaker 9 (32:43):
Hey, you've got to Sherman's wife, Bridget Publon, told Fox
News Digital that her eighty one year old husband is
at home with special care and that everything shutting down
in his body. Sherman was a teen idol in the
late nineteen sixties and early seventies, with top ten hits
such as Little Woman, Julie, Do You Love Me? And
(33:05):
easy come, easy go.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Julyd you did July? Do you love me now?
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Right by the way, just for confirmation sake, did not
have Bobby Sherman posters out in his room, but his
sister's dick.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Ndheld Joano
